RT @DOGE: Great work by @usedgov and @DOGE taking action on long-running fraud in federal student aid estimated to cost taxpayers > $1B/year and contributed to shortfalls in education funding available to low income students.

The Dept. Of Education disburses $120 billion in student aid per year between Pell Grants and loans.

The fraudsters (largely international crime rings):
- Use stolen SSNs to sign up for online classes at secondary institutions
- Use the same SSNs to receive federal student loans or Pell Grants
-Use a chatbot to “show up” for the first few days of classes
-Pocket a portion of the money (which is sent from the federal government to the school to the fake students)
-Disappear

It is estimated that over 20% of online community college enrollments per year are siphoning off Pell grant money meant for low income students.

The Dept. of Education, starting next week, has now instituted mandatory identity checks for all first-year students receiving financial aid. DOGE and Ed are actively working on a technology-based solution now that will be deployed ahead of next year’s loan season.

RT @johnkrausphotos: Starship at Cape Canaveral: “SpaceX would launch Starship-Super Heavy from SLC-37 up to 76 times per year. This would also include 76 Starship static-fire tests, 76 Super Heavy static-fire tests, 76 Super Heavy landings, and 76 Starship landings. Approximately half of the launches would occur during daytime and half during night. It is assumed that up to 20% of the annual launches would be scrubbed (meaning cancelled or delayed until a later date and can occur at any point before launch). The large majority of scrubs would occur prior to ignition of the booster. The Super Heavy booster landings would occur within a few minutes of launch, while the Starship landings would occur upon completion of the Starship missions, which could last hours or years. Most of the landings would return to the launch site; however, several landings per year could be expendable or occur on a floating platform. This environmental analysis does not guarantee 76...
