Vice President JD Vance has announced that the Trump administration would “temporarily halt” some Medicaid funding to the state of Minnesota over fraud concerns, as part of what he described as an aggressive crackdown on misuse of public funds.

    These dipshits need to get off Twitter and also get some media literacy. The whole fraud thing in Minnesota literally came from some troll on Twitter gaslighting Elon Musk.

      What makes you think that this ridiculous fake news piece wasn’t deliberately planted on Twitter by the regime itself?

        What is false in the article?

          I was referring to the ridiculous video by this right-wing “influencer” who uses flimsy methods to try to expose alleged fraud at childcare centers in Minnesota. There is hardly anything accurate about this video.

            Interesting take.

              I think it’s quite likely that the US regime also commissioned this video and then promoted it with Musk’s help.

              They have been doing this for a long time. Another prominent example of such lies, pushed with enormous media power, is the false claim that Trump won the election against Biden, which directly led to the attack on the Capitol by MAGA fanatics on January 6, 2021.

              I don’t believe that MAGA strategists are overly influenced by social media in their approach. Rather, I believe that many of the apparent majority opinions presented on mainstream social media platforms are artificially created to suit their tastes with the support of people like Musk, Zuckerberg, and other media moguls, as these influential billionaires are united on their side and are well capable of accomplishing this.

                I haven’t heard anything like this. Do you have any proof of the Trump administration commissioning videos like these?

                  I just think it’s likely. I can’t name a source that would prove that the Trump administration directly commissions videos like this.

                  However, people like Nick Shirley, who made the “Minnesota child care center fraud video,” work in a highly dubious manner, as described in this article, which also discusses his proximity to Trump’s MAGA a bit. In addition, some MAGA influencer accounts are apparently financed from abroad or even reside outside the US. Equally suspicious is how Trump handles the press pool at the White House, replacing seasoned journalists who ask critical questions with right-wing extremist social media conspiracy theorists.

                  All of this leads me to conclude that this regime is using every means at its disposal to control the media discourse. In the latest edition of The Tonight Show, John Oliver provides an informative and amusing overview of how the spread of far-right ideas and the associated misinformation works on Twitter.

    How is this finance news?

    Anybody have recommendations on instances with financial news focusing on market information and US federal reserve updates?

      This move will affect the economy of Minnesota.

        It’s a political threat. Less of a significant effect to the states economy or those national sized insurance operations who are scamming the medicare system anyway. Source: gestures broadly in the air.

    The fraud concern being that Trump isn’t getting the largest cut.

    Vance is never going to be able to wash the Trump stink off.

    Serves him right.
