They keep using this line and it's nonsense for many reasons, but also, if that's truly the case, there are only about a dozen "fraudsters" per state: the insurers. No one else could benefit from this particular no-claims "fraud." So where are the prosecutions of health insurers? 🤔

No, they didn't "go rogue." They were given instructions that led them to do this. Or they were inadequately confined to particular areas. We need some serious safety experts looking at these incidents, not the AI believers.

IMO, the Trump Administration has lost any assumption of good faith/compliance/whatever. Someone needs to go to jail. My preference is the oathbreaker Trump, but I’ll take a factotum.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."

Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

What makes this obscene is the building Trump's threatening to demolish if he doesn't get his way, is a *memorial* to a loved president who served his country and was assassinated while in office (two things Donald is yet to accomplish). It is like Trump threatening to jackhammer JFK's gravestone.

Yes, but it won't be over then. Trump is an instrument for many interest groups, and there are other players warming up for when Trump goes. We cannot get complacent and think what's tearing our country apart is one person and it will stop when he goes. We have to stay vigilant or we'll lose again.

I’ve been assuming the oathbreaker Trump’s love of Putin was part hero worship, part owing big $ to him, and part blackmail. Perhaps late to the party, I’m wondering if Putin’s video recordings include underage girls. Suspecting, really. Pee tapes didn’t ring true for a germaphobe, girls do.
