December 2, 2025 - Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara says that Somalians should call 911 if ICE shows up wearing masks

Title 8 U.S.C. § 1324 Concealing, Harboring, or Shielding – This part criminalizes the act of “concealing, harboring, or shielding from detection” an alien who has entered or remained in the U.S. in violation of law. If an elected official or law enforcement officer were to engage in actions that could be seen as shielding immigrants from federal detection or removal, this could potentially be seen as a violation.

December 2, 2025 - Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins tells blue states to release their SNAP data for an audit or lose the funding completely

When it comes to the SNAP program, Trump’s Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins is not playing games.

She has said that she wants every SNAP recipient to have to reapply for the program, but in the meantime, she is asking every state for all of their SNAP data so that her department can audit the info for fraud.

All of the red states have already turned over their data but blue states like California, New York and Minnesota are resisting so Rollins has given them an ultimatum. Turn over the data or lose your SNAP funding entirely.

December 2, 2025 - DHS puts California, New York, and Illinois on notice for failure to honor criminal illegal alien detainers

New York’s radical sanctuary policies have reached a catastrophic breaking point.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons has issued an explosive letter to New York Attorney General Letitia James, demanding immediate action after state and local officials quietly released nearly 7,000 criminal illegal aliens, including rapists, killers, gang members, and repeat violent offenders, without honoring ICE detainers and without a single notification to federal authorities.

Since January 20, New York has released 6,947 criminal illegal aliens back onto the streets. These offenders are tied to:

29 homicides
2,509 assaults
199 burglaries
305 robberies
392 dangerous drug offenses
300 weapons offenses
207 sexual predatory offenses
Worse, another 7,113 criminal aliens remain in New York custody today, all with active ICE detainers that state officials continue to ignore.

These detainees include:

148 charged with homicide
717 charged with assault
134 charged with burglary
106 charged with robbery
235 dangerous drug offenses
152 weapons offenses
260 sexual predatory offenses

This is a full-scale public safety disaster engineered by far-left officials who are deliberately defying federal law.

ICE sent an urgent letter to Attorney General James in September demanding cooperation. She never responded.

Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin blasted James and New York’s political leadership for releasing predators onto American streets:

“Attorney General James and her fellow New York Sanctuary politicians are releasing murderers, terrorists, and sexual predators back into our neighborhoods and putting American lives at risk.”

“We are calling on Letitia James to stop this dangerous derangement and commit to honoring the ICE arrest detainers of the more than 7,000 criminal illegal aliens in New York’s custody. It is common sense. Criminal illegal aliens should not be released back onto our streets to terrorize more innocent Americans.”

Below are just some of the dangerous offenders New York politicians chose to unleash onto the public: (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 12/2/2025) (Archive)

December 2, 2025 - Many of those indicted in the $1 billion Minnesota COVID fraud scandal, received SBA PPP loans

Numerous individuals and nonprofits indicted in the $1 billion Minnesota COVID fraud scandal, including Feeding Our Future, received SBA PPP loans in addition to other state and federal funding. Today, I have ordered an investigation into the network of Somali organizations and executives implicated in these schemes.

Despite Governor Walz’s best efforts to obstruct, SBA continues to work to expose abuse and hold perpetrators accountable, full stop.

***

Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports. Instead of partnership, we got the full weight of retaliation by Tim Walz, certain DFL members and an indifferent mainstream media. It’s scary, isolating and left us wondering who we can turn to.

In addition to retaliating against whistleblower, Tim Walz disempowered the Office of the Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings and guidance. Media and politicians supporting Tim Walz or the DFL-agenda attacked whistleblowers who were trying to raise red flags on fraudulent activities.

This is a cascade of systemic failures leading up to Tim Walz. Agency leaders appointed by Tim Walz willfully disregarded rules and laws to keep fraud reports quiet – even to the extent of threatening families of whistleblowers. These same leaders are not qualified for their jobs, instead getting leadership jobs via Tim Walz’s friendship so state government were left floundering. DFL lawmakers refused to acknowledge fraud and deflected any serious conversation to stop fraud. Biased mainstream media such as WCCO and MPR showed absolutely no interest in covering fraud happening in our own state. Programs, especially in behavioral health and disability services were built without any guardrails against fraud, all in an attempt to extract more funding from legislature and the federal government.

As staff, we firsthand witnessed and observed fraud happening yet we were shutdown, reassigned and told to keep quiet. Sometimes more. Leadership did not want to appear to discriminate against certain communities and were unwilling to take action, such as stopping fraud, that would have an adverse impact on their image. To date, no single agency leader has been held responsible for their role in fraud whether it’s Shireen Gandhi, Jess Geil, Jodi Harpstead, Natasha Merz, Eric Grumdahl or others.

It is a structure created and maintained by Tim Walz who has created an environment of inter-related agencies and institutions including the media – that help foster fraud through retaliation and turning a blind eye in exchange for political gain in the form of high power agency leadership jobs or other perks.

Fundamentally, Tim Walz is dishonest, lacks ethics and integrity, has poor leadership abilities, and has never taken any accountability for his role in fraud. Instead, Tim Walz deflects by blaming national politics for his own failings and distracts the public with inveterate lying. These lies include his reference of a budget surplus under his tenure. Fact is, Minnesota never had a surplus, we had been given federal ARPA funds that were conflated as surplus money otherwise, we’d be in a deficit. And those ARPA funds, which were meant to be temporary funds were used to create more leadership positions for Tim Walz “buddies.”

As such, we can’t fight fraud in Minnesota alone hence why we’re appealing to the federal levels of government. We need all the help we can get as Tim Walz’s agency leaders have upped their brazen approach in covering up their knowledge of fraud.

We are grateful to numerous solid politicians (esp the Fraud Committee) and media outlets who are trying to halt fraud. We are also grateful to other whistleblowers who are bravely stepping up.

Thank You NY Times for bringing the plight of Minnesota to the national stage.

December 3, 2025 - Biden imported 2,000+ members of Afghan death squads and 7,000+ Taliban civil servants and regime officials

REMIGRATION: First we learn the hard way that Biden imported 2,000+ members of Afghan Death Squads resulting in the death of a National Guard member last week. Now we’re finding out he imported 7,000+ Taliban civil servants and regime officials.

Biden’s DHS and State Department created sweeping exemptions covering Afghans who worked for the Taliban during the first regime (1996-2001) and again after August 2021, enabling hundreds of individuals normally barred under terrorism laws to enter the U.S. TRIG waivers skyrocketed to 6,848 in FY 2024, the vast majority for refugees, including 374 Taliban civil servants and more than 3,000 individuals who provided “limited” support to Tier 1 or 2 terror groups. Now, after the ambush killing of a West Virginia National Guard soldier by Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, critics say Biden knowingly imported massive security risks into American neighborhoods.

December 3, 2025 - BLM official in Oklahoma City charged with wire fraud and money laundering

A federal grand jury in Oklahoma City has charged Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson with wire fraud and money laundering, U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester announced on Thursday.

“The Department of Justice is committed to unraveling and prosecuting fraud in the Black Lives Matter organization, and this case illustrates how some in the group’s leadership allegedly used donor money to bankroll their own lifestyles,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement provided exclusively to Breitbart News. “We have zero tolerance for any kind of fraud perpetrated against the American people and will continue bringing fraudsters to justice as cases arise.”

“This FBI is committed to following the money and pursuing bad actors who perpetrate fraud on the American people,” FBI Director Kash Patel added in a statement to Breitbart News. “The defendant in this case allegedly used their position in Black Lives Matter to steal donor money and enrich their own lifestyle. No one is above the law and we will continue to work with our Department of Justice partners to pursue every last fraudster responsible for this conduct.”

Dickerson, 52, has served beginning in 2016 as the executive director of Black Lives Matter Oklahoma City (BLMOKC). The press release announcing the indictment, obtained by Breitbart News ahead of its public release, notes that she had access to BLMOKC’s bank, PayPal, and CashApp accounts.

The press release then details how the organization was structured and what its finances were supposed to be used for.

“The Indictment alleges that, although BLMOKC was not a registered tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, it accepted charitable donations through its affiliation with the Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ), based in Arizona. AFGJ served as a fiscal sponsor to BLMOKC and required BLMOKC to use its funds only as permitted by Section 501(c)(3). AFGJ also required BLMOKC to fully account upon request for the disbursement of all funds received and prohibited BLMOKC from using its funds to purchase real estate without AFGJ’s consent,” the Justice Department release states. “Beginning in late spring 2020, BLMOKC raised funds to support its social justice mission from online donors, as well as from national bail funds. In total, BLMOKC raised more than $5.6 million, which included grants from national bail funds, including the Community Justice Exchange, Massachusetts Bail Fund, and Minnesota Freedom Fund. Most of those funds were routed through AFGJ, as fiscal sponsor, to BLMOKC. According to the Indictment, BLMOKC was supposed to use these national bail fund grants to post pretrial bail for individuals arrested in connection with protests for racial justice after the death of George Floyd. When bail funds were returned to BLMOKC, the national bail funds sometimes allowed BLMOKC to keep all or a portion of the grant funding to establish a revolving bail fund, or for BLMOKC’s social justice mission, as permitted by Section 501(c)(3).”

Instead of following what the group was supposed to do, though, officials allege that Dickerson transferred more than $2 million into her personal accounts over more than five years.

(…) The grand jury on Dec. 3 of this year returned a 25-count indictment against Dickerson, charging her with 20 counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering. Per the release, she faces an astonishingly high amount of fines and prison time if convicted. “For each count of wire fraud, Dickerson faces up to 20 years in federal prison, and a fine of up to $250,000,” the release states. “For each count of money laundering, Dickerson faces up to ten years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 or twice the amount of the criminally derived property involved in the transaction.” (Read bore: Breitbart News, 12/11/2025)  (Archive)

December 3, 2025 - Tax court consolidates Clinton Foundation whistleblower cases, signaling progress towards trial

Clinton Foundation Whistleblowers: Doyle, Moynihan vs. IRS in a December 2018 Congressional hearing. (Credit: Fox News)

A judge has agreed to consolidate two cases brought by whistleblowers against the IRS, alleging the tax agency failed to provide them with an award for information on the Clinton Foundation, according to court documents reviewed by Just the News.

The decision, which was not opposed by the IRS, indicates that the trial is moving forward.

The cases were brought by retired federal agent John Moynihan and private fraud expert Larry Doyle and have wound their way through the U.S. Tax Court for years.

(…) Earlier this month in the U.S. Tax Court shows the Chief Judge has ordered several disparate cases associated with the Clinton Foundation information be consolidated into one, setting the stage for a trial, according to a filing reviewed by Just the News.

Judge Patrick J. Urda (Credit: public domain)

In the filing, the Chief Judge of the U.S. Tax Court Patrick J. Urda ordered all the parties to submit a report on the “present status” of these cases by Jan. 9, 2026, indicating that the challenge is progressing.

You can read the filing below:

So far, still unresolved

The Tax Court had tentatively scheduled a Dec. 1 trial, but met unexpected resistance from the Trump administration.  The Internal Revenue Service under Trump filed a motion in August in the case arguing that as a matter of administrative and procedural law, the judge should not let the case proceed to trial because after an initial review, the IRS declined to look into the whistleblower complaint and, therefore, the plaintiffs had no standing to sue.

So far, it appears the court has not ruled on that motion to dismiss the case, according to the court docket.

Doyle told Just the News in August that that latest twist is just another example of the resistance the government has displayed to investigating the Clinton Foundation over many years.

“Not surprising that the IRS would seek to dismiss our case in this fashion simply because that is the same tactic the IRS deployed in our initial case ongoing now almost 6 years in US Tax Court and growing more serious everyday,” he said.

“The simple fact is the more the American public learns about the Clinton Foundation as it has in recent days, the more it is entitled to know all the truth and facts involved,” he added.

Moynihan and Doyle first detailed the findings from their investigation in that December 2018 testimony before a House committee.

December 2, 2025 - Loomer: Secretary of Army's office is plotting coup to replace Pete Hegseth with Dan Driscoll

SECRETARY OF THE ARMY’S OFFICE PLOTTING COUP AT THE PENTAGON TO REMOVE @SecWar PETE HEGSETH AND REPLACE HIM WITH @SecArmy DAN DRISCOLL 🚨

Individuals in the office of US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll have been orchestrating a Coup against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @PeteHegseth in an effort to have him removed by President Trump and replaced by Dan Driscoll.

Over the last 2 weeks, the legacy media, which is incredibly hostile to Hegseth, has been posting puff pieces about Dan Driscoll and how he is a “rising star” at the Pentagon. Sources have told me that Jake Sullivan @jakejsullivan, the former National Security Advisor of the United States under Joe Biden, is very close friends with Dan Driscoll, and they have been friends since they both attended Yale Law School. Driscoll and Vice President Vance also met at Yale Law School, which is how Driscoll was nominated as Army Secretary.

High level sources at the Pentagon have confirmed to me that Sullivan has been planting stories in support of Driscoll because Sullivan wants Hegseth removed and replaced by Driscoll. Sullivan is worried Hegseth and President Trump are going to take action against the seditious 6, the 6 Democrat lawmakers who are now facing federal inquiries and an FBI investigation after they recorded a video in November 2025 urging US military service members not to follow “unlawful” orders, a message President Trump and Pete Hegseth have called “seditious.”

One of the seditious 6 is Democrat Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander @RepGoodlander (D-NH), the wife of Jake Sullivan who goes by a different last name to hide the fact that she is married to Jake Sullivan. It is worth noting that Goodlander is a Naval Reserve Intelligence Officer, which means she could possibly face disciplinary action by Hegseth for her seditious behavior.

Goodlander and Sullivan got married in 2015. Some of guests at their wedding include Hillary Clinton, Lisa Monaco, Huma Abedin, Samantha Power, Victoria Nuland, and Antony Blinken, all of whom are anti-Trump Deep State operatives.

Sullivan previously served as Director of Policy to President Barack Obama, National Security Advisor to then-Vice President Biden and Deputy Chief of Staff to Secretary @HillaryClinton at the U.S. State Department. Sullivan also served as senior advisor for the Iran nuclear negotiations and as a senior policy advisor to Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign against Donald Trump.

Hegseth has accused these 6 Democrat lawmakers of committing sedition, and he is even considering court marshaling Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly, one of the seditious 6.

According to FEC records, Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander, the wife of Jake Sullivan, donated a max donation of $2,800 to Dan Driscoll when he ran for Congress in 2020 in North Carolina.

Why would an anti-Trump, Democrat Congresswoman married to Jake Sullivan, one of the architects of the Russia Collusion hoax, donate to a Republican candidate for Congress who would later move on to be President Trump’s Army Secretary?

Jake Sullivan played a central role in the Clinton campaign’s efforts to promote the Trump-Russia collusion story, including feeding journalists details about the fabricated Alfa Bank–Trump server allegations and linking the campaign to the discredited Steele dossier—claims that triggered years of investigations and were ultimately exposed as a partisan hoax. Additionally, as I previously reported, Driscoll posted a photo of himself earlier this year hanging out with Eugene Vindman, who collaborated with his brother Alexander Vindman to impeach President Trump over false allegations.

Now, Sullivan is working with high level Army officials in Army Secretary Dan Driscoll’s office to force Pete Hegseth out and install Dan Driscoll as Secretary of War, despite the fact that President Trump loves Pete Hegseth.

I will be asking about this attempted coup on Pete Hegseth at the upcoming Pentagon Press Briefing this week.

December 3, 2025 - Rubio: Iran and Hezbollah are operating from inside Venezuela

Senator Marco Rubio just issued one of the starkest warnings yet — and it changes the entire picture of the Venezuela crisis:

“The Venezuelan regime is a source of instability in the entire region…
Iran, its IRGC, and even Hezbollah have a presence in South America —
and their anchor presence is inside Venezuela.”

Let that sink in.

8 million Venezuelans displaced

Spillover into Colombia, Brazil, the U.S.

Cartels, trafficking networks, and Iranian intelligence embedded in the region

Rubio isn’t speaking hypothetically — he’s confirming what U.S. intel has known for years:

Venezuela is no longer just a failed socialist state.
It’s a forward operating base for Iran and Hezbollah in the Western Hemisphere.

This is why the situation is escalating.
This is why Trump’s ultimatum matters.
This is why Maduro’s regime cannot be ignored or “managed.”

The threat isn’t local — it’s global.

Venezuela is just the opening salvo into what will be the elimination of Deep State from the Western Hemisphere… this is complex, but relatively easy to follow… read what I typed up below then read the threads below…

Venezuela became the Western Hemisphere hub for a full-spectrum foreign influence network that extends far beyond Iran and Hezbollah… the IRGC runs covert logistics, forged documents, and intelligence staging from inside the regime…

China’s port control, telecom access, and debt leverage ride the same corruption corridors… Russia embeds military advisers, cyber operators, and energy technicians through overlapping rails…

Cuban intelligence runs the internal security architecture…

Nicaragua provides diplomatic shelter and deep-water access… Israeli-linked intelligence contractors and private security outfits used by oligarchs, Caribbean banks, and regional power brokers have also operated in this zone for years, exploiting financial opacity and shipping lanes to run dual-use technology, surveillance tools, and political influence campaigns across the islands…
This field widened because the Caribbean narco corridor acts as the connective tissue… here is how… cartels move cash, weapons, migrants, and illicit shipments that foreign intelligence services hide inside…

The EU appears through banking havens, shipping registries, aid channels, and “governance NGOs” that mask financial flows feeding political networks in Venezuela, Suriname, Guyana, and the islands…

The ecosystem became a shared shadow platform… Iranian operators moving side by side with cartel logistics, Russian cyber nodes riding on Caribbean telecom hubs, Chinese surveillance infrastructure parked across ports, Cuban officers managing Maduro’s inner security ring, and private Israeli-linked intelligence contractors plugged into offshore finance and political mediation… see it?

Nothing here is isolated… every actor uses the same permissive environment… this is why escalation hits a different register now…

Eight million displaced Venezuelans, destabilized borders, weaponized migration lanes into the US, and a hemisphere-wide footprint of foreign services reveal a region treated as a forward operating base by adversarial states and opportunistic global players…

Rubio’s statement is an admission that the architecture is real… Trump’s ultimatum lands into a field saturated with Iran’s proxies, China’s maritime influence, Russia’s military anchors, Cuban control grids, EU financial scaffolds, and Israeli-linked intelligence intermediaries embedded in the Caribbean’s offshore world…

The Western Hemisphere is being reopened and recalibrated… the map is no longer hidden.. read below thread to see the mapping – it is very clear…

December 3, 2025 - Senator Mark Kelly’s twin brother is connected to Zelensky’s aide Andriy Yermak who recently resigned for corruption

(…) We may have the reason Senator Mark Kelly went out on a seditious limb.  It may be because he and his twin brother are in a lot of trouble after embezzling billions in Ukraine.

Zelensky enlisted Senator Mark Kelly’s twin brother to raise $2.8B for a USAID-created propaganda arm targeting US voters and politicians. Much of the money moves anonymously via crypto. Observers note the conflict of interest: the brother of Sen. Mark Kelly helping run a foreign influence operation targeting the very government his twin serves in.

United24, created by Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation using a USAID-funded infrastructure, appointed Scott Kelly, Senator Mark Kelly’s twin brother, as its ambassador to help raise money for the propaganda outlet. Since then it has raised $2.72 billion, much of it routed quietly via cryptocurrency. United24 produces coordinated messaging marketed as “fact-checking” and “anti-corruption efforts,” but in practice operates as a state propaganda engine shaping US public opinion and Congressional support for Ukraine’s war.

December 3, 2025 - Jack Smith is subpoenaed by the House Judiciary Committee regarding his prosecutions of Donald Trump

On December 3, 2025, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) issued the subpoena, demanding Smith’s appearance for a closed-door deposition on December 17, 2025.

It also requires production of all documents and communications from Smith’s tenure as special counsel, focusing on his investigations into Trump’s handling of classified documents and the 2020 election interference (including the January 6 Capitol events).

Republicans, including Jordan, have described these probes as “partisan and politically motivated,” alleging weaponization of the Justice Department under the Biden administration.

This follows earlier non-binding requests for testimony in October 2025, which evolved into a formal subpoena after perceived extreme resistance from Smith’s team.

Smith, was appointed in July 2023 by Attorney General Merrick Garland, dropped both cases after Trump’s 2024 election win, citing DOJ policy against prosecuting sitting presidents.

The subpoena aligns with broader Republican oversight into alleged prosecutorial abuses, including subpoenas targeting Republican lawmakers’ records during the investigations.

Democrats, like Ranking Member Jamie Raskin, have wrongly criticized it as an attempt to undermine DOJ independence without evidence of wrongdoing.

Recent X posts from December 3 confirm the development, with users like @LeadingReport and @HuffPost highlighting the subpoena’s focus on accountability for “weaponizing the government against Republicans, even targeting senators’ cell phone records.”

December 3, 2025 - $21 billion in Obamacare subsidies can't be traced to actual people

Government Accountability Office decided to see if anyone’s actually watching the store. So they made 20 completely fictitious applicants – no real people, no documentation, just testing if the system would notice.

18 of them are still actively covered. September 2025. Monthly payout: over $10,000. GAO’s just…monitoring them.

Because apparently nobody at HHS has.

No SSN? Fine. No proof of citizenship? Whatever. No income documentation? Come on in. GAO literally wrote in their report: “[We] did not provide documentation yet received coverage.”

They’re not even hiding it – they got benefits with nothing. The system just said yes.

Now check the real-world damage. In 2023, 29,000 Social Security numbers somehow got used for multiple full-year coverage plans.

By 2024? That jumped to 68,000. Someone’s running the same number through the machine twice, three times, however many times it takes, and the alarms aren’t going off.

Then there’s the $94 million that went to dead people in 2023. Not “accounts tied to people who died recently and the paperwork hasn’t caught up” – straight up deceased recipients.

Death certificates filed, funerals held, checks still clearing.

But here’s the really wild part: GAO tried to track $21 billion in subsidies from 2023 back to actual Social Security numbers. Couldn’t do it.

21 billion dollars just floating out there with no clear connection to who’s supposed to be getting it.

The system allows multiple enrollments per SSN “to help ensure actual SSN-holder can enroll in cases of identity theft or data entry errors.”

In other words: we built in workarounds so generous that fraud looks identical to legitimate use.

Now Congress is fighting over whether to extend these enhanced COVID subsidies past December 31. Cost to keep them? $30 billion annually.

24 million people enrolled, over 90% getting subsidies. Without extension, premiums spike overnight and 22 million people might lose coverage.

Republicans looking at GAO’s findings saying: this is exactly why we shouldn’t pour another $30B into a system that can’t tell fake accounts from real ones.

Democrats saying: you’re going to kick 22 million people off insurance because less than 1% is fraud?

Both sides kinda have a point. Yeah, the fraud’s under 1% of total enrollees.

But when you’re burning $30B yearly and literally cannot verify where $21B went, “less than 1%” stops sounding so minor.

Senate vote coming this week. Expected to fail. Which means scramble for short-term extension, fight continues into 2026 budget battles, and absolutely nothing changes about fraud controls.

Because here’s what nobody wants to say out loud: the system isn’t designed to catch fraud.

It’s designed to maximize enrollment.

When your mandate is “get people covered,” asking too many questions becomes the enemy. Verification slows things down.

Documentation creates barriers. Better to let a few fake accounts slip through than risk denying real people who need coverage.

So GAO’s 18 fictional enrollees will keep collecting their $10K monthly until someone at HHS manually shuts them down.

Which requires someone at HHS to actually read GAO reports.

Which requires someone at HHS to care more about fraud than enrollment numbers.

Don’t hold your breath. By next year, GAO will run the same test. Find the same results. Write the same warnings.

And Congress will have the same fight about whether feeding money into a system that can’t track where it goes is compassionate policy or expensive theater.

Meanwhile, somewhere in America, a completely imaginary person just got their subsidized premium renewed for 2026.

Rampant waste, fraud, and abuse have worsened health care for Americans using Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace plans while enriching big insurance companies, according to a new preliminary report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

The new watchdog investigation finds large-scale systemic failures that allow fake identities, dead people, and massive improper use of Social Security numbers to receive Obamacare subsidies. As part of the analysis, GAO conducted covert operations which even included creating fictitious identities that flooded health insurers with unjustified subsidies. In fact, 100 percent of fake applicants were approved by the ACA marketplace as recently as late 2024, and 90 percent of fake applicants continue to receive coverage in 2025.

According to the report, such practices can result in wasteful federal spending on subsidies for enrollees who are not eligible. Further, such practices can result in harm and unexpected costs for consumers. These can include loss of access to medical providers and medications, higher copayments and deductibles, or repayment of subsidies if income or other eligibility was misrepresented.

Chairman of House Ways and Means Rep. Jason Smith MO

The GAO investigation was requested by Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08), Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Brett Guthrie (KY-02), and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (OH-04).

Chairman Smith said:

“While Democrats defend waste, fraud, and abuse, Republicans are taking action to lower health care costs and protect care for all real, living Americans. GAO’s troubling report is the smoking gun that shows how this broken system, shielded by Democrat policies, has led to the federal government shoveling tens of billions of tax dollars to insurance companies through identity fraud and caused health care costs to skyrocket for all Americans.

“While Obamacare fraud is being confirmed by GAO, CMS, CBO and other outside reports, patients are suffering. They face higher health care costs and denied claims or delayed care when their providers struggle to verify which insurance is valid due to these fraud schemes. Rather than simply rubber stamp more bad spending and failed policies, we must take action to prevent further harm.”

Chairman Guthrie said: 

“Republicans have consistently prioritized protecting patients and taxpayers by ridding our federal health programs of the waste, fraud, and abuse that ultimately drive up costs for patients.

“Republicans have sounded the alarm on the flawed structural integrity of Obamacare and how Democrats’ failed policies to temporarily prop up the program have exacerbated fraud, hurt patients, increased the burden on American taxpayers, and artificially masked the true health care affordability crisis plaguing Americans today.

“The concerning findings from GAO’s report further confirm that Republican efforts to strengthen, secure, and sustain our federal health programs are critical and necessary to ensure access to quality health care at prices Americans can afford.”

Chairman Jordan said: 

“For years, we were told we could keep our plan, keep our doctor, and premiums would go down. None of it happened. This new report confirms what we already knew: under Obamacare, hardworking Americans saw their premiums skyrocket and their healthcare choices shrink, all while fraud benefitted insurance companies. Obamacare was built on lies and broken promises that hurt families and drove up costs.”

GAO investigated the scope of improper payments and weakened program integrity within the ACA marketplace. Estimates based on analysis by both the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and independent external research organizations indicate millions of enrollees in the ACA marketplaces may be enrolled improperly, costing taxpayers as much as $27 billion a year in improper payments and imposing a great deal of harm and distress on families and victims of alleged fraud.

The Details:

Investigators Created Fake Identities – and CMS Provided Taxpayer Subsidies

  • GAO created fictitious identities with fake or never issued SSNs and still got subsidized ACA coverage, meaning criminals and fraudsters can too.
    • 100 percent of fake applicants were approved in late 2024.
    • 18 out of 20 fake applicants are still receiving subsidized coverage for 2025.
    • Marketplaces approved coverage even when no documents were requested or fake documents were submitted.
      • This includes fake citizenship eligibility documents confirming fraud concerns for illegal immigrants.
    • Brokers were able to bypass verification by calling the call center and submitting applications without the applicant present.
    • Monthly subsidies paid to health insurers on behalf of GAO’s fake identities exceeded $12,300 per month.

Shocking Misuse of Social Security Numbers Including a Single Social Security Number Used for Over 125 Policies for the Equivalent of 71 Years

  • One Social Security Number (SSN) was used for “71 years” of subsidized coverage.
    • In 2023, one single SSN was used on applications for over 125 insurance policies totaling over 26,000 days of coverage, the equivalent of 71 years.
    • 66,000 SSNs in 2024 had more than a years’ worth of subsidized coverage.
    • CMS does not block new applications using the same SSN and relies on a broken document-request process that often never works.
    • $21 billion in subsidies paid out with no evidence of tax reconciliation in 2023. That is 32 percent of all advanced premium tax credits (APTC) paid to identifiable SSN holders. No reconciliation means no accountability, no verification, and likely billions in improper payments.

Big Insurers Still Collecting Subsidies for Deceased Individuals

  • 58,000 SSNs receiving APTC matched Social Security death data.
  • At least 7,000 were dead before coverage even began, meaning the applications used SSNs of deceased individuals.
  • $94 million in taxpayer-funded subsidies were sent to health insurers on behalf of deceased individuals.

Explosive Growth in Unauthorized Plan Switches that Harm Consumers

  • Bad actors engaged in mass unauthorized enrollment activity to chase commissions, resulting in:
    • 160,000 likely unauthorized changes by three or more brokers in 2024.
    • CMS itself received 275,000 complaints in just eight months (Jan–Aug 2024) from Americans who were enrolled in or switched into plans without their consent.

Repeated Warnings Have Gone Unheeded by Democrats

  • GAO has repeatedly warned that Obamacare subsidies are and have been at risk of fraud structurally.
  • For 2015 enrollment, GAO found that federal and state marketplaces approved coverage for fictitious applicants, and nearly all of those fake identities stayed enrolled even after submitting fictitious documents or no documents at all.
  • For 2016 enrollment, GAO again reported that CMS had failed to design basic eligibility safeguards, including controls to stop duplicate or overlapping subsidized coverage.
  • These weaknesses were supercharged after Democrats enacted and repeatedly extended Biden’s COVID-era subsidy expansions, which facilitated millions of fully subsidized fraudulent enrollments, and without corresponding fraud controls, created the perfect environment for criminals, identity thieves, and unscrupulous brokers.

With Stronger Integrity for Taxpayers, Republicans Have Taken Steps to Lower Premiums

Republicans are focused on restoring accountability and fairness to the health care marketplace through program integrity reforms that save taxpayers billions of dollars and drive down costs for everyone:

  • Full income and eligibility verification before subsidies are issued, ensuring assistance goes only to those who qualify.
  • Ending “anytime” enrollment abuse that fueled fraudulent sign-ups and drove premiums higher for everyone.
  • Closing loopholes that allowed illegal immigrants and other ineligible groups to access taxpayer-funded health benefits.

Even the Congressional Budget Office has found that these measures have already produced $185 billion in savings for taxpayers and reduced premiums by 0.6 percent. That’s real savings for working families.

December 4, 2025 - FBI arrests suspect in DC pipe bomb case after 5-year investigation

The FBI has arrested a Virginia ‘anarchist’ suspect named Brian Cole in connection with several pipe bombs laid near Capitol Hill on the eve of the January 6, 2021 riots.

Cole was identified as the suspect on Thursday morning – as sources told MS Now has been linked to support for anarchist ideologies.

The suspect has been charged with laying explosives outside the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters, which did not detonate.

Cole is a resident of Woodbridge, Virginia, and he was arrested in the early hours of Thursday morning. The exact charges are not yet clear, and Cole is expected in court later Thursday.

The arrest marks the first major breakthrough in the five-year investigation that had baffled the agency and sparked a wave of conspiracy theories.

It comes weeks after the FBI offered a $500,000 reward for leads to identify the suspect, when authorities shared previously unreleased footage of the perp stalking the streets of Washington DC the night before the infamous riots.

However, the arrest was reportedly not the result of a new breakthrough in the investigation, but came after the FBI reviewed existing evidence it had collected in 2021 and 2022.

Law enforcement sources said that Cole’s arrest may cause embarrassment for the FBI because the suspect could have been arrested years ago if investigators had pieced together existing evidence.

(…) While the arrest could cause embarrassment for investigators who failed to identify the suspect for years, it is likely to be lauded by the Trump White House after it poured new resources into the case earlier this year.

In particular, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino has often spoke of his desire to solve the case, including previously speculating that it may have been an ‘inside job.’

The hunt for the suspect was one of the largest in FBI history, and investigators struggled for years to piece together evidence collected in the chaotic aftermath of the January 6 riots.

This included subpoenaing box store retailers for credit card data to find customers who bought specific kinds of battery connectors used to manufacture the bombs.

Agents tracked down purchasers of the battery connectors to those whose phones were locate near the DNC and RNC headquarters at the time the bombs were planted, but the FBI found there was no credible match.  (Read more: Daily Mail, 12/4/2025)  (Archive)

December 5, 2025 - Top Barack Obama DEA official indicted in narco-terrorism conspiracy to launder millions

The Department of Justice announced Friday that a former senior Drug Enforcement Administration official has been indicted on charges that include conspiracy to engage in narcoterrorism, money laundering, and conspiracy to distribute cocaine.

Federal prosecutors say the alleged conduct occurred after his retirement near the end of the Obama administration.

DEA Administrator Terrance C. Cole and U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton of the Southern District of New York released details of the indictment against Paul Campo, who previously served as Deputy Chief of the Office of Financial Operations at the DEA.

According to the DOJ, Campo agreed to assist the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) in laundering $12 million in proceeds from drug trafficking.

Prosecutors say he also provided guidance to the cartel on obtaining drones and assault rifles after an associate, Robert Sensi, connected him with someone they believed represented the organization.

In the news release, Cole addressed the allegations directly.

“The alleged conduct occurred after he left DEA and was unrelated to his official duties here, but any former agent who chooses to engage in criminal activity dishonors the men and women who serve with integrity and undermines the public’s confidence in law enforcement,” Cole said.

“We will not look the other way simply because someone once wore this badge. There is no tolerance and no excuse for this kind of betrayal.”

Former Senior DEA Official Indicted For Conspiring To Provide Material Support To A Foreign Terrorist Organ… by Red Voice News

The indictment outlines covert meetings between Campo, Sensi, and the person they believed to be a cartel representative.

Prosecutors say Campo and Sensi advised on laundering millions through cryptocurrency purchases, real estate investments, and pre-paid gift cards.

According to the DOJ, the pair participated in three transactions totaling $750,000 and believed the completion of the third transaction would trigger a shipment of approximately $5 million worth of cocaine.

December 5, 2025 - EU Commission fines Elon Musk and X for non-compliance with their censorship laws

January 23, 2023

How the EU has targeted Elon Musk and 𝕏 over the years:

→ June 2023: The EU audited 𝕏’s safety systems and flagged weaknesses in handling hate speech and disinformation.

→ October 2023: The EU issued a warning letter accusing 𝕏 of spreading misinformation during the Israel Hamas conflict.

→ July 2024: The EU offered 𝕏 an illegal secret deal stating that if 𝕏 quietly censored speech without informing the public, they would not fine 𝕏.

→ August 2024: The EU attempted to stop Elon Musk from hosting a live Space on 𝕏 with President Donald Trump.

→ January 2025: The EU stepped up its probe into Elon Musk’s 𝕏 days ahead of Trump’s inauguration.

→ December 2025: The EU fined 𝕏 €120 million for violating the EU’s content legislation rules under the Digital Services Act.

Why are they afraid of @elonmusk? Why do they fear a platform that gives people a real voice?

December 5, 2025 - America and the EU are no longer aligned on the censorship-by-proxy strategy - America dodges global totalitarianism...for now

WHAT A LEADING U.S. LAW PROFESSOR JUST REVEALED 🚨

A major warning was issued this week—not by activists, not by commentators, but by one of America’s leading constitutional law professors.

He was just in Berlin, and what he described is chilling.

He said only TWO people at the World Forum were defending free speech… and the rest of the room was demanding coordinated censorship—not just across Europe, but against Americans.

And here is what he testified:

European regulators want U.S. speech controlled by EU law

Platforms are being threatened with ruinous fines

International bodies now expect enforcement against U.S. citizens

Silence is being globalised through regulation, not debate

He also stated that Hillary Clinton personally intensified this push—calling on the EU to weaponise the Digital Services Act when Elon Musk acquired Twitter.

Think about that:

A former U.S. presidential candidate urging a FOREIGN authority to pressure an American company into censoring U.S. citizens.

According to this professor, what is happening is not organic—it is strategic.

He said the Berlin gathering was “the most anti-free-speech event” he had ever attended.

He warned that:

“This is how censorship becomes internationalised.”

Not through law in Washington.
Not through court rulings.
But through transnational regulatory power overriding domestic rights.

As he put it:

“Free speech isn’t falling—it’s being dismantled.”

This is not speculation.

This is testimony—firsthand—from someone who was in the room.

Defending free expression is no longer optional—it is urgent.

December 6, 2025 - Big Fani Part 2: Under a GA law passed specifically for this case, all the former defendants can now recoup costs and legal fees

Big Fani Part 2 is officially underway, folks. Just when everyone thought the saga wrapped up with last week’s total case collapse, a brand-new Georgia law has cracked the door wide open for President Trump to walk right back in with a sledge hammer, and start swinging away.

BBC:

A judge in Georgia has dismissed a sprawling 2020 election interference case against Donald Trump, ending the last effort to prosecute the president for allegedly attempting to overturn his loss to Joe Biden.

Peter Skandalakis, who took over the case after the initial prosecutor’s removal, asked Judge Scott McAfee to dismiss the charges on Wednesday.

Trump’s lawyer Steve Sadow praised the decision to end the “political persecution” against the president.

The dismissal concludes the last of four criminal cases levelled against Trump since he first left the White House, only one of which saw trial and resulted in a conviction.

And according to Attorney Phil Holloway, that hammer is about to go mighty hard.

Holloway isn’t being overly dramatic here. He’s spelling out a consequence the fake news media conveniently forgot to mention. See, every former defendant in Fani’s circus indictment now has the right to go after her office for compensation. Translation: the people she tried to put in prison can now make her cut a nice big, fat Fani check.

A Color Revolution (Part II):

Purges, Collapse inside the CIA and the Path to National Recovery.

Here is my follow-up, which exposes how internal purges, DEI-driven activism, and mandate-era coercion collided within America’s intelligence agencies and why the attempted ideological remaking of the federal government ultimately failed to consolidate.

It traces the decisions that accelerated institutional collapse, the officers who refused to bend, and the structural reforms now required if the Republic is to recover.

December 6, 2025 - Biden's FBI suspected Brian Cole, Jr. of being the January 6 pipe bomber in April 2021

Brian Cole, Jr. (Credit: Department of Justice)

(…) The January 6 Select Committee chaired by GOP Rep. Loudermilk posted its pipe bomb report and compared it to the affidavit released by Patel’s FBI.

In April 2021, the case team identified a [redacted] user who was in the area of the DNC at the time the suspect can be seen on video footage using their phone. The FBI requested and received the “historical cell tower data” for he user and as of April 2021, the case team was attempting to “further analyze” the user’s movements. It is ultimately unclear what happened with respect to this lead,” the J6 Committee’s pipe bomb report read.

The affidavit released by Kash Patel’s FBI revealed Biden’s FBI had to have known Brian Cole was the pipe bomb suspect.

“Provider records show that the COLE CELLPHONE connected with Provider cell phone towers consistent with the COLE CELLPHONE being in the area of the RNC and DNC on January 2, 2021. The COLE CELLPHONE engage in approximately seven data session transactions with Provider towers between 7:39 p.m. and 8:24 p.m. Provider’s historical cell site data shows the specific tower for each of the transactions along with the sector of the tower that engaged in the transaction with the COLE CELLPHONE,” the affidavit said.

(Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 12/8/2025)  (Archive) 

There is exactly one, and ONLY one scenario in which Biden’s FBI knew that Cole was the pipe bomber and didn’t arrest him.

Because he was working with / being used by FBI, Capitol Police and/or other intelligence as part of the Fed-surrection.

That is the only scenario in which Biden’s FBI would not have arrested a man who we are being told planted the bombs because he didn’t believe the results of the 2020 election.

Failing that scenario, he is a pure Patsy and/or he has been falsely accused and charged.
