It's a PDF file that you can download. Here are some of the highlights:

This year, I am highlighting a whopping ~$900,000,000,000 of waste, including an NIH grant to study Russian cats walking on a treadmill, Barbies used as proof of ID for receiving COVID Paycheck Protection Program funds, $6 million to promote tourism in Egypt, and $200 million to ‘struggling artists’ like Post Malone, Chris Brown, and Lil Wayne. No matter how much money the government has already wasted, politicians keep demanding even more.

They don't care it's not their money. The more they waste the prouder they are and probably more votes they have bought.
If we had a huge watchdog to critic govt spending we'd save billions upon billions a year.

That is a pittance compared to money wasted on gov employees, primary school employees, gov contractors, university and college employees.

If we got rid of fraud and waste at federal, state, county and city levels, our total tax obligation would decrease over 50%.
