fraud crackdown

Bullshit.

It's because Minnesota dared to stand up to crybaby Trump after he sent his ICE goons in there to terrorize and murder people because Tim Walz said mean things about him.

yep "medicaid fraud" is a really strange way for news outlets to say "political revenge"

Yeah, I expect it of the New York Times, which is afraid of losing access. Local outlets have nothing to lose by speaking truth to power

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, but cause a lot of suffering in the meantime

[–] Kalon@feddit.online 1 points 2 hours ago
