Fifteen years of administrative expansion turned California into the nation's heaviest regulatory state - if you live in California, this is what it costs you...

@TickleMaster321 Good idea! Design us one? We’re mostly focused on investigating tips and sending referrals for prosecution to the DOJ!

The Cal DOGE Bloat Report has been released! And it's HUGE.

CNN CA GUBERNATORIAL DEBATE:
Our team has already found $425B in fraud in California’s government. We will eradicate that fraud and give money back to Californians.

[Steve Hilton @SteveHiltonx]

IT'S OFFICIAL: California Democrats are the Pro-Fraud party with their outrageous bill to gag fraud investigations. @carldemaio led the opposition but Democrats pushed it through.

We will keep investigating @CalDogeOfficial As governor I will find, stop and PROSECUTE fraud.

[Jenny Rae Le Roux @JennyRaeCA]

At Cal DOGE - we’re not waiting to fight fraud. We have over 2000 whistleblower tips - and we won’t stop until California is the most fraud-proof state in America.

@spencerpratt - let’s start fighting fraud in LA right now. We’ll give you the LA tips - and the plan!

March 31st, 2026 - @CalDogeOfficial Press Release

https://t.co/PPKQuEJzdS

[Herb W Morgan @Herb4Controller]

I didn’t just “release a white paper” this week—I lit a fire under Sacramento.

First, I dropped the white paper exposing up to a $425 BILLION problem in California’s finances. Not guesses. Not vibes. Hard numbers pulled straight from state audits, federal reporting, and the Governor’s own budget.

Then came the press release.
Then CAL DOGE doubled down with a second release. @JennyRaeCA @SteveHiltonx

And then—surprise, surprise—the NY/CA Post picked it up, because when the numbers are this big, the story writes itself.

Meanwhile…
Malia Cohen just missed her FOURTH consecutive reporting deadline. Four. In. A. Row.

At this point it’s not a delay—it’s a pattern. And that pattern is exactly how billions disappear without accountability.

Here’s what I laid out:

We’re talking massive exposure across:
•Medi-Cal
•Unemployment Insurance
•K–12 Education
•CalFresh
•Homelessness spending
•Infrastructure
•Public pensions

All adding up to a system where reporting can lag 700+ days—which basically means by the time Californians see the books, the money is already gone.

That’s not oversight. That’s a blackout.

So yeah—I didn’t just point out the problem. I gave the solution:

Radical Transparency.
•Timely reconciliations (not years later)
•Daily transaction-level reporting (yes, every dollar)
•Blockchain-backed public ledger
•AI-powered fraud detection in real time

Translation?
No more hiding the books. No more guessing. No more excuses.

California doesn’t have a revenue problem.
It has a visibility problem.

And I’m running for State Controller to fix exactly that.

Follow the money. Freeze the theft. Fix California.

[Cal DOGE @CalDogeOfficial]

The truth is being revealed.

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

It’s is quickly being revealed that California’s oversized budget and taxes aren’t because of brilliant bureaucratic programs and thoughtful spending but laziness, incompetence and corruption.

[Cal DOGE @CalDogeOfficial]

[Cal DOGE @CalDogeOfficial]

Yes. This IS about practicality, not politics. Very well said.

Anyone protecting fraud is surely benefiting from it - directly or indirectly (like getting elected from fraudulent proceeds and therefore incentivized to protect the machine).

[Andrea Hansen @Andrea4theArts]

This is about practicality, not politics.

Every time I read about someone stealing public funds or another wasteful government fiasco, my blood boils.

I work in California’s arts sector (the one that’s chronically underfunded, scraping and fighting every budget cycle just to deliver results). To those who say “government has no business funding the arts,” I hear you. But this isn’t a handout. The Golden State has always been firmly rooted in arts, culture, and entertainment. State funding is a strategic investment in one of our strongest economic engines.

California’s creative economy generates $288 billion a year. That’s 7.5% of the entire state GDP and supports over 820,000 jobs.

Programs like ours at @kda_california center on live experiences, educational attainment, positive healthcare outcomes, economic growth, and community engagement. We actively work to ensure people find passion and purpose, ultimately diminishing abuse, addiction, and homelessness. Our programs rely on irreplaceable human connection, physical presence, empathy, and real-time cultural exchange that no algorithm can replicate. These are the AI-proof jobs that keep talent and dollars rooted in California.

Take our summer reading program, Books in Motion, which has been combating childhood illiteracy for a decade for K-3 kids, especially in communities where 1 in 4 third-graders aren’t meeting ELA standards. The impactful program relies on diversified revenue streams and gracious support from the California Arts Council, yet every year they never have enough to meet demand.

The @CalArtsCouncil’s entire annual budget is just $21 million for the fifth-largest economy on Earth. This year @CaArtsAdvocates is advocating for $50 million to mark 50 years of the Council’s impact. As a taxpayer, I proudly and loudly say yes!

That money does NOT vanish. It multiplies.

The creative sector drives tourism dollars, lifts education outcomes (reducing future social-service costs), supports high-wage creative jobs, strengthens community health, and keeps our cities culturally vibrant. Every dollar invested here generates far more in economic activity, human productivity, and tax revenue than it costs.

Here’s what makes me furious though. Every dollar stolen or squandered is a dollar clawed directly out of programs like ours. Those of us who steward public funds with integrity, transparency, and proven results are also getting scammed. We’re left begging while the grifters profit.

Waste and fraud are NOT abstract taxpayer burdens.

They starve the very investments that make California stronger, more prosperous, and resilient. Real fiscal responsibility means cutting waste and fully funding what actually works.

Enough is enough.

Approve #50for50.

And yes, we will keep hustling to ensure children can read. 📚

$22,000 of fraud, waste, and abuse PER taxpayer in California!

What could you have done with that $22,000 in your pocket?

[Steve Hilton @SteveHiltonx]

NEW: Our 4th CAL DOGE Fraud Report. We analyzed Gavin Newsom's own public data to calculate the total amount of fraud, waste and abuse in the past 5 years.

$425 billion. That's $22,000 for each taxpayer.

Yet Democrat candidates for governor say we need MORE spending. No!

As governor, with my Golden Ticket running mates @GloriaJRomero @MichaelGatesESQ@Herb4Controller we will stop the fraud, prosecute the fraudsters and get your money back.

Thank you Herb, @JennyRaeCA and team for this report. Full details in the 🧵

[Cal DOGE @CalDogeOfficial]

@dutchgirlusa @nickshirleyy @thepondering_ @POTUS We do! Are you one of them?

[Cal DOGE @CalDogeOfficial]

@ModmomL Thank you! We will definitely be looking into it.

[Nick shirley @nickshirleyy]

🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP.

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians.

It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.
