As always Lisa Needham is easy to follow and full of important info, not just on the latest ridiculous knee jerk reaction to a 23yo ‘influencer’ but on the hands off oversight leading to fraud across private business.
I've never understood how Rick Scott could go from heading up the biggest CMS fraud to becoming a Senator. But failing upwards is what CEOs are most skilled at doing.
So a government is freezing all the Child care funds in a state it doesn't like on the basis of no documented fraud at all???? Did I read this right? I'll be relieved if someone points out I got this wrong.
Apart from being malicious this is just straight laughably incompetent. It seems anything goes in Trump-land America.
I'd like to believe this will blow up in the face of the government but I'm afraid I'm losing confidence in the ability of the US to self-correct....at least while the Republicans control all of the houses of government.
There was day care funding fraud, but MN investigators already found it & people have been charged & some, if not all, will serve jail time. It’s quite illuminating that the head boss, who planned & managed this fraud was a white US citizen woman!!!! The total number of people involved in the fraud at this time is around 77.
Things I know: Republicans lie, trump is a felon convicted of 34 counts of fraud, trump is always trying to distract from his Epstein files, trump likes to punish the most vulnerable, trump is a racist, and everyone with a mobile phone camera and a voice is now an investigative reporter.
We are living in dangerous time, made more dangerous by maga believing anything they see that backs teir deranged, demented worldview. Sadly, the democrats and the left are slow to respond and let the liars take the narrative. As Twain may have noted long ago, "a lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes" Dems need to be better at putting on their shoes...
I hope his mommy made his lunch before he went to do that BS, hit piece.
Important: Minnesota House Speaker, Republican Lisa Delmuth, and her caucus DIRECTED Nick Shirley where to go, other information. She is running for governor against Tim Walz.

I really wish we could eliminate the words "nonprofit" and "not-for-profit". These organizations must produce a profit so they can grow and improve. They do not have shareholders or any type of owners, but they must produce a profit that is then plowed back into the organization or kept as a reserve. Unfortunately, many people believe the label and not the reality. These organizations are generally not taxed (although they can be subject to tax on their unrelated business income) and most donations are deductible for tax purposes. With Trump et al eliminating much government safety net monies, these organizations are even more important.
Remember who the Governor of Minnesota is: Tim Walz, someone for whom, Felon 47 has a strong dislike. Lisa - brilliant article as usual - but this fraud suits Felon 47 well in discrediting Governor Walz who stands for everything we like about decency and honesty.
Happy New Year to you all, may we enter into a more peaceful way ahead! We must have hope and stay positive.🥰🥰🥰
Nothing says that we are living in a Twilight Zone episode like Harmeet Kaur Dhillon being U.S. assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division:
Immigrant.
Brown skin.
Twice divorced.
Undergraduate degree from Dartmouth.
Likened college president to Hitler.
Board member of the northern California chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
Contributor to the political campaign of Kamala Harris.
Today's PN is a tremendous service. The last para. provides s-o-m-e consolation as the rampage on the most vulnerable devastates like wildfire. More consolation would come from aggressively disseminated corrections on media.
This is why they want the women barefoot and pregnant. No need for daycares…😡 There’s no shame with these morons.

It's Florida.
It gets worse (or got worse). He went from ex-Governor of FLORIDA (subtle) to Senator. Nuff said.

Will Minnesota mount a legal challenge to the withholding of funds?
Will anyone sue the 20-something influencer for libel?
Line your pockets, blame the Somalis, SOP.
This is what happens when you put a criminal in charge.

Post capitalism sponsored by thieves, fraudsters, and grifters.
