The DOGE goon known as Big Balls has teamed up with one of MAGA’s rising stars.
Edward ‘Big Balls’ Coristine, 20, is partnering with Nick Shirley, 22, who the right credits with exposing widespread medical fraud by the Somali community in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Shirley is trying to replicate his MAGA success in California—and Corisitine says he is feeding him the data to do so.
“I’m looking through this, I’m like, how do I go through this?” Shirley said in a new YouTube video with Corisitine, who he called “super smart.”
Shirley, who claims to have uncovered $140 million in medical-related fraud in California, said Coristine helped him parse data published by the Department of Health and Human Services.
“We’re in this battle together,” Shirley added.
Coristine, 20, has become a cult figure in conservative circles. Grabbing headlines for his childish nickname in the early DOGE days, he became a flashpoint in President Donald Trump’s National Guard crackdown in the nation’s capital after he was assaulted by two teenagers during a carjacking attempt. The National Guard was called in days later.
A Northeastern University dropout, Coristine was recruited to Musk’s team of Gen Z goons last spring. With DOGE essentially dead, he now works for the White House’s National Design Studio, which is run by Airbnb cofounder Joe Gebbia.
Coristine said he sees Shirley’s investigative style as the future.
He praised Shirley for going “to the places where we’re spending all this money” and confronting those involved. On his latest crusade out west, Shirley says Corisitine is the reason he had a lead at all.
“I went to California based off that dataset you had helped me extract,” Shirley said to Corisitine.
Next, they suggested teaming up to investigate widespread voter fraud—something experts say is not a problem in the United States, but conservatives, including Trump, repeatedly decried as an issue—and Medicare abuse.
