I'm wondering how many of those contracts are going to have to be partially paid or even fully paid. I was told about contracts that had to be paid regardless if we cancelled the order or not, most likely lawyers will be involved.

Yeah, that will happen, but it also shines a light on the folks issuing contracts that they are being watched.

At the very least you have to pay for all costs incurred by the contracted party. Not too bad if they're cutting grass, but a big deal if they had to buy a lot of expensive materials like building a tank. But good news, the government can use all the newly empty workplaces to store the half-finished crap they paid for.
My uninformed opinion, depending on the ' work ' or contract they will quietly go away, rather than risk a HUGE Spot Light on their activities
Discovery will new very interesting.
DOGE Needs Data To Survive. These Lawsuits Are Trying To Starve It of Information.
A handful of these lawsuits argue that the very existence of DOGE is illegal and that Musk's role as a non–Senate confirmed "special government employee" with massive authority to set policy is unconstitutional.
By installing Musk and his DOGE team at the former U.S. Digital Service, President Donald Trump has "transformed a minor position that was formerly responsible for managing government websites into a designated agent of chaos without limitation and in violation of the separation of powers," reads a lawsuit filed by 14 Democratic state attorneys general yesterday.
On the other end of the spectrum are the numerous lawsuits that challenge the government-slashing fruits of DOGE: the cancellation of various grants, the partial closure of the U.S. Agency for International Development and dismissal of staffers there, the Trump administration's "fork in the road" deferred resignation program for federal workers, and more.
Sitting in between these two types of lawsuits is yet another set of complaints that challenges DOGE's access to the basic digital infrastructure of government, including the U.S. Treasury Department's payment systems and government personnel data held by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
Just Security's litigation tracker lists eight lawsuits challenging DOGE's access to government data, and that appears to be an undercount.
While this third bucket of lawsuits might sound mundane, it likely represents the biggest threat to DOGE's work.
Plaintiffs in these records access lawsuits allege that DOGE's access to record systems is enabling the administration's other lawless activity, like illegally stopping grant payments and "deleting" whole agencies without congressional approval.

Pssst... Let's just cut to the chase. Every facet of our Govt was compromised by an organized hostile enemy from within. Has been for some time now. Not some of it. EVERYTHING. DOGE is but the opening salvo of a larger operation that is is exposing the real insurrection undertaken by enemies - both foreign AND domestic.

HOLY MOLY! Stephen Miller just confirmed that foreign fraud rings have been using fake social security numbers & identities to steal billions of taxpayer benefits through the IRS. Miller confirmed DOGE is about to get the records. "Over a 10-year normal budget window, you could be talking about saving over a trillion dollars by clamping down on massive fraud in our tax and entitlement systems, including again those carried out by organized fraud and theft rings." -
@StephenM
People thought USAID was bad. Wait, they see what's been happening at the IRS.

Fox News admits that the next step is major refunds for American taxpayers as DOGE uncovers massive fraud and waste—money that was sent where it never should have gone. They admit it’s time to return every single penny. "Give that back to the American people, and watch the economy explode."
ROOKE: Trump Admin Uncovered Massive Fraud Bomb Set To Explode Left-Wing Narrative On DOGE
DOGE has not presented evidence of "fraud"; they have highlighted millions of dollars worth of spending that Musk considers wasteful.
By contrast, the GAO identified $233 billion of fraud in 2024. We don't need to let a billionaire ignore federal law to do government oversight

It’s an uncomfortable exercise for them to undergo because, for decades, billions of dollars in taxpayer money have been wasted on promoting their ideology. But a recent investigation into the Social Security Administration (SSA) shows that not only has the left used Americans to promote their insidious ideologies at home and abroad, but they have also allowed abuse and fraud to run rampant in a popular social program initially intended to be state welfare pensions for the elderly.
Social Security officially began in 1935 after The Great Depression when a 1934 estimate found that nearly half of the elderly in America lacked sufficient income to be self-supporting. Politicians have bloviated that the pension program was depleted in modern discussions of the SSA and its welfare programs. They blamed it on several underlying issues, including a massive Baby Boomer generation set to retire and pull from the fund.
However, thanks to DOGE head Elon Musk, we know that the real reason the pension program is suffering is likely due to a massive amount of fraud. In an X post, Musk showed a screenshot of the number of people pulling Social Security and their age ranges (0-369 years old).
Acting Director for Social Security Administration Steps Down After Blocking Investigation into Fraud Scheme Exposed by DOGE
Musk’s DOGE initiative has already uncovered shocking levels of fraud and corruption across multiple federal agencies, with insiders warning that Social Security is one of the worst offenders.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller has sounded the alarm on a massive foreign fraud operation that has siphoned off billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded benefits using fake IDs and fake Social Security numbers.
“There’s a massive amount of fraud in this country. You have, for example, foreign fraud rings,” Miller wrote.
“These are foreign nationals who come into the United States, they use fake social security numbers, they use fake identities to steal billions in taxpayer benefits.

Apparently being sued as well
The Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) discovered an identification code linking U.S. Treasury payments to a budget line item, which accounts for nearly $4.7 trillion in payments which was oftentimes left blank.
"The Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) is an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item (standard financial process)," DOGE wrote in a post on X. "In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible. As of Saturday, this is now a required field, increasing insight into where money is actually going."
The agency thanked the U.S. Treasury for their work in identifying the optional field.
