"If those states want that money, they need to provide documentation that these payments are legitimate."

I prefer the words “cancel” and “revoke”.

And “Go to Hell, scumbag commie states, we are tired of you ripping off good, hard-working Americans.”

Gavin’s going to have a stroke over this.

Welfare Fraud is code words, a dog whistle, for money to fund election theft. I’d be willing to bet a significant portion of that money find it’s way in DNC coffers.

Members of Congress and the Senate are taking funds directly from Medicare and Medicaid. The deep state is the middleman. There is no way to stop this other than some source of kinetic force.

As one who lives in Minnesota, all I can say to Sec. Kennedy and President Trump is: Thank you! Turn off the spigot. Empty the trough. It is way past time.

Yes, they have so many other avenues / vehicles at their disposal yielding big bucks for vote fraud:
USAID
Big public works projects like the CA train with unions
NGOs
Welfare

I voted for this.

But I did NOT vote for rfk jr to drag his backside on this and other actions.

..and the liberal judge overturns this in 4-3-2-1...

California needs a full and complete independent audit of every penny provided by the taxpayers.

Or maybe not. Not sure we could handle the results.

Just assume right off the bat that for every dollar spent on public services, $0.90 is siphoned off for various NGO grifters, half of which is funneled back to Democrat politicians to keep the graft going.

That leaves $0.10 remaining to build roads and fill potholes. Which might explain why despite paying the highest gas prices and the highest gas taxes in the nation, our neighborhood roads look like they were shelled by artillery.

This also explains how people like Newsom and Bass can win elections. Despite being totally and flagrantly incompetent, powerful NGOs and public unions (with unparalleled GOTV machinery in place) are able to get (and stay) very rich with these people in power.

Bigger the government spending, bigger the fraud exist".

In every country of the world this is the case.

Some judge will force him to reinstate the money. It may have already happened. If not, it’s certainly in the works.

Suspected fraud?????

In both MinneSomalia and Kalifornia, it would be easier to list what is NOT fraudulent.
