  1. dass die Regierung Bundesfördermittel aus politischen Gründen rechtswidrig gezielt vergeben habe. Über die Klage berichtete zuerst die „New York Times“….
    … „Anfang dieses Jahres versuchte die Regierung, Mittel in Höhe von 10 Milliarden Dollar für Sozialleistungen in fünf von den Demokraten regierten Bundesstaaten einzufrieren, bevor sie ihren Kurs wieder änderte. Seitdem haben Bürgerrechtsorganisationen Klage gegen die Regierung eingereicht.“

    #DavidBrooks makes noise about how many people are moving to #redstates from #bluestates. He is foolish to assume that those people will vote #Republican, especially after experiencing the lack of #services, the horrendous #education, and the erosion of #civilrights happening in red states. #Arizona was reliably red, and then millions of people moved there. It has since passed through purple to blue.

  3. #Minnesota, & other #BlueStates, should also enact new laws that make #federal #obstruction harder. The #AlexPretti case shows that #ICE officials were willing to ignore a #state-court #warrant. Perhaps anticipating that, Minnesota officials went to federal court on Saturday, potentially after the scene of Pretti’s #shooting had been compromised, & obtained a temporary restraining order about #evidence preservation. The legal basis for such orders, however, may be fragile.

  4. Judge: #Trump violated #FifthAmendment by ending #energy grants in only #blueStates

    Trump's blatant #discrimination came on the same day as the government shut down last fall. In total, 315 grants were terminated in October, ending support for 223 projects worth approximately $7.5 billion…All the awardees, except for one, were based in states where Donald Trump lost the majority vote to Kamala Harris in 2024.

  5. Minnesota’s most prominent #Somali American, Democratic US Rep #IlhanOmar, has urged people not to blame an entire community for the actions of a relative few.

  6. Walz, the 2024 Democratic VP nominee, has said fraud will not be tolerated & his admin “will continue to work with federal partners to ensure fraud is stopped & fraudsters are caught.”

    Walz has said an audit due by late Jan should give a better picture of the extent of the fraud. He said his admin is taking aggressive action to prevent additional fraud. He has long defended how his admin responded.

  7. O’Neill, who is also serving as acting director of the #CDC, also said in the post Tuesday that payments across the #US through the #ACF, an agency within the #HHS, will now require “justification & a receipt or photo evidence” before money is sent. They have also launched a “fraud”-reporting hotline & email address, he said.

  8. A federal prosecutor alleged earlier in December that half or more of the roughly $18 billion in federal funds that supported 14 programs in #Minnesota since 2018 “may” have been stolen. Most of the defendants are #Somali Americans, they said.

  9. #Trump admin says it's freezing #childcare funds to #Minnesota after series of “fraud” schemes

    Deputy Secy of #RFKJr’s #HHS Jim O’Neill posted on X that the step is in response to “blatant fraud that appears to be rampant in Minnesota & across the country.”

    “We have turned off the money spigot & we are finding the fraud,” he said.

  10. @SocraticEthics The largest protests were in #BlueStates and on a weekend. They were encouraging, but performative.

    They need to grow in size, be equally strong in #RedStates , and be midweek combined with a #GeneralStrike to have an *impact* on #USpol.

    #Resist. #DoNotComply and #DoNotCollaborateWithFascists in #USpol.

  11. No pay 4 #NationalGuard or #military even when deployed....White House memo says #furloughed #federal workers aren't entitled to back #pay #salary #economy #federalgovernment #congress One goal is to destroy the #economy for #Americans who are not #billionaires and impose #martiallaw on #bluestates and #cities #portland #chicago #DC #newyork #memphis #LA based on #fake #AI and #memes and photos from #wars in other countries that are given to #trump to prove chaos in US axios.com/2025/10/07/trump-mem 1/
