    Seeing as the whole fraud thing is a load of bs from a right wingnut influencer I’m hoping it goes away just as quickly.

    Wish they would investigate somewhere like Texas for anything, but I guess thats never going to happen. I am curious to see exactly what comes of this, as corrupt as they are they still manage to paint a picture like everyone else are the evils ones. All they have to do is look at themselves for the biggest scams that ever happened.

    I know it’s Fox News but they’re the only one reporting it so far

      I wouldn’t be surprised if Fox News is the only one the administration bothered to tell.

    NPR outed the sinfluencer that told the lie …

    The day after Christmas, Nick Shirley, a 23-year-old MAGA-connected social media influencer, posted a video. He claims it shows Somali American-run day care centers are cheating the federal government out of millions of tax dollars. The video doesn’t offer clear proof, and it appears these social media claims have not yet been independently investigated or verified, but the video went viral.

    My first thought was that the fraud investigation was into the USDA. My second thought was “what does it mean that my first thought was that the fraud investigation was into the USDA?”
