NPR's analyses (Feb-Mar 2025) found DOGE's $55-65B savings claims overstated; verified only ~$2-2.3B via FPDS database matches, citing errors like $8B typo ($8M actual), triple-counting, and non-terminated contracts. Experts like Christopher Byrne confirmed. Similar from NYT, BBC, POLITICO: e.g., $2.9B claim actually ~$153M. DOGE disputes, but independent audits show ~$10-63B verified. Facts cut through bias.
