Welfare fraud has blue states rushing — to shield the fraudsters

It was swept under the rug by Republicans, there are still civil lawsuits.

Arrest them all. More than that, enslave them all. We need more slaves to make products for us to survive overseas.

He already settled the lawsuit, the current MS govt (run by republicans, is asking for more in interest). There are on going criminal cases involving people believed to have committed crimes

The federal authorities across two admins have not found evidence of his criminality

They swept it under the rug, had a black man done this he would be under the jail, but in the mind of a boot licker he is white so it's alright. You are paid to do a speaking engagement and you don't speak doesn't really take a lot of investigating to figure out.

Actually it wasn't all over the news. So your dumbass thinks stealing over a million dollars from a system that is set up for the poor isn't a big deal. Favre allegedly received $1.1 million in 2017 and 2018 for speaking engagements he did not perform. Tell me boot licker what black man wouldn't have criminal charges for doing this. You are a disgrace.

Of course it was all over the news, when it broke! Do you live under a rock? There were espn documentary’s on it!

This was far more then speaking fees

The Mississippi Community Education Center claimed they paid him for speeches, the head of that is currently under indictment for embezzlement. Actually that case maybe over.

Farve who criminal investigators haven’t been able to connect to criminally repaid the funds

They can’t even prove that he knew the funds came from TANF

Geez man, it’s like you lived under a rock in 2020-2024

Why did he pay back 1 million dollars?

Boot licking coons like you are the biggest threat to black folks in this country, you fools see this racist republican party in action and you try to defend it.

Because it was given to him by the folks embezzling the money

How is me stating the facts of the case, a threat to black folks?

No, you are not stating facts, you are defending a thief who broke the law and got away with it.

Not sure how to stop fraud in a system where all you have to do is give kickbacks to those potentially holdings the fraudsters to account in order to evade justice on both sides of the political isle

And what do they care, it is taxpayer money.

All you can be certain of is that taxes will go up exponentially cuz they need more fraud money.

Or just rent Trump, who is always ready to peddle his office.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

What people don't realize is there has been a constant battle to handicap the government's ability to combat fraud and that has accelerated to unprecedented levels under Trump II. How many inspector generals did he fire, how many positions are still open? This is the front line against fraud. Attacking whistle blowers? Are you kidding me. Elimination of the CFPB after they have uncovered billions in fraud and collected billions in consumer reimbursements.

So all this Rah, Rah, Rah, going after fraud in Minnesota rings really hollow.

Whine about more DOGE cuts loser.

You didn’t even know what the case was about, you claimed it was flushed under the rug

I’ll trust the dojs two different admins over your opinion

Did the federal government spend more money last year than the previous year? What good did DOGE do?

Like those damn 87,000 IRS agents. Eliminating that provision within the budget COST US MONEY. It increased the deficit in every single economic model regardless of political bias. Audits of high net worth individuals has dropped to nothing, the IRS hasn't even audited Trump's tax returns from his last administration, let alone Biden's, and that is required by law.

I mean who can accept this. Joe Sixpack busts his ass. His taxes come out of his paycheck every week. Sure, employer holds on to it, collects interest on it for a few weeks, and then, sometimes, sends it to Uncle Sam. Sometimes, they don't. Old Joe Sixpack fills out his taxes every year, pretty simple form, and he hopes to get a bit of a refund.

The wealthy, hell, the most wealthy don't pay income taxes at all. They don't have "taxable" income. Everything goes back into the business. Look at Elon, at Bezos. In effect, these people put everything on a credit card. They borrow the money they live off of and write the interest off as an expense.

Sure, because of kickbacks. The MN AG, Keith Ellison, gave a sweetheart deal to at least one guy who was involved in an $11 million scam.

This is Cloward-Piven on steroids. The only way to end all this is to end the programs.

Last week, the FBI raided 22 shady day care businesses in Minneapolis, Minn., as the federal government expanded its investigation of social services fraud there.​

​

On Monday, Vice President JD Vance added Columbus, Ohio, to his fraud task force’s agenda in the wake of a new report alleging a billion-dollar Medicaid scam.​

​

Both investigations were spurred by the dogged work of citizen and independent journalists like Nick Shirley in Minneapolis and Luke Rosiak in Columbus, who knocked on doors and interviewed dozens of supposed service providers to uncover the truth about fraudsters who may have bilked the federal government of billions.​

​

And up and down the West Coast, blue-state lawmakers have leaped to respond — by actively working to make it harder for journalists like me to do our jobs and expose fraud connected to day care centers, hospices, home health care businesses and more.​

​

In California, Democrats are pitching AB 2624, dubbed the “Stop Nick Shirley Act,” with claims that it’s a safety measure to protect immigrants and social service workers from harassment.​

​

But media watchdogs say it, and Democrats’ efforts in other state capitals, constitute a crackdown on the independent and citizen journalists who are exposing fraud in government — and warn that it’s just the start of a trend that could spread nationwide.​

​

...​

​

California’s law would criminalize the online sharing of photos or personal information of “immigrant service providers” if it’s done for purposes of “harassment.”​

​

But the bill leaves those terms undefined and open-ended.​

​

It aims to shield providers’ home and work addresses while restricting the posting, display, sale or distribution of their personal information or images online if it makes subjects feel threatened or intimidated.​

​

A law like this would expose any investigative journalist to ceaseless accusations of harassment and incitement simply for sharing publicly available information — information that any citizen at home could find for themselves on social media and government websites.​

​

Meanwhile, Democrats in Washington state introduced SB 5926, legislation meant to conceal day care centers’ addresses and employee identities from public disclosure.​

​

...​

​

In late April, when Gov. Bob Ferguson awarded $55.8 million in grants to 74 Washington early-learning providers, his office redacted many of their names to “protect sensitive personal information.”​

​

These people are getting public funds, but reporters and citizens can’t verify where their tax dollars are going.​

​

Welfare fraud has blue states rushing — to shield the fraudsters

Democratic lawmakers are racing to make it harder for independent journalists and citizen watchdogs to ask questions, publish names and connect the dots.

I notice that the Trump noise machine is busy promoting openly racist fake news claims to reinforce the bigotry of their audiences, while studiously ignoring the war that the Fool in the White House started.

You admitted you didn’t! Repeatedly!

You claimed it was sweep under the rug!

No, your dumbass said I didn't. Again if he did nothing wrong why did he pay back a million? It was, that's what crooked ass Republicans do.

You, said you didn't. You have highlighted you didn't...you claimed it was sweep under the rug, when it was ALL over the news for years...heck they made movies about it!

Doing something wrong, doesn't mean it's criminal, first and foremost. Moreover, the investigation showed he was paid, from the people embezzling the money, and that there was no evidence he knew the money was coming from this tax payer source. THis isn't a republcian thing, because it started in 2020, and concluded in 2023....it went through two different Admins.

THe GOP in MS, is actually asking for MORE money, for interest.

Clearly, you are clueless
