Oh, so you mean they weren’t incompetent, they knew the correct figure but deliberately lied about it?
No, the DOGE website scrapes from the FPDS DB. The DB wasn't updated immediately. Like I quoted in an adjacent comment "PDS posting of the final termination notices can have up to a 1-month lag."

Your bias is blinding you to what is the obvious explanation that I'm sure you'd recognize if you saw it on a non-political website.

I just want to point out one more thing: DOGE didn't advertise this 8M savings anywhere, there wasn't a speech about it etc. This was found on https://doge.gov/savings
