You’ve probably heard the news by now: Minnesota fraudsters stole over $1 billion from Medicaid. And you deserve an explanation.

Our staff at CMS told me they’ve never seen anything like this in Medicaid — and everyone from Gov. Tim Walz on down needs to be investigated, because they’ve been asleep at the wheel. Based on what we know now, this is a clear dereliction of duty.

First, the facts:

In recent years, Minnesota Medicaid launched several new programs, including Housing Stabilization Services, which helped disabled homeless individuals, and Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention, which reimbursed therapy costs for families with autistic children.

Some bad actors in Minnesota’s Somali community decided to game the system. And when they got away with it, they decided to go bigger.

The housing program was supposed to cost $2.6 million dollars annually. Last year, it paid out over $100 million. The autism program ballooned from $3 million in 2018 to nearly $400 million in 2023.

These scammers used stolen taxpayer money to buy flashy cars, purchase overseas real estate, and offer kickbacks to parents who enrolled their kids at fake autism treatment centers. Some of it may have even made its way to the Somalian terrorist group Al-Shebab.

So why didn’t Walz stop them?

That’s simple: because he went all-in on identity politics.

Somalis are a huge voting bloc, and the state’s leaders were afraid that “forcefully tackling this issue might cause political backlash.” That’s not me saying that. It’s a Somali-American fraud investigator who talked to The New York Times.

Somali scammers get rich off the programs Gov. Walz was supposed to be managing. Minnesota politicians get elected with Somali votes and keep the money flowing. This isn’t just fraud: it’s political patronage at public expense.

When Minnesota told CMS about the problem last year, they assured us they’d handle it. By summer, it was obvious they couldn’t — or wouldn’t. So, we stepped in and shut down the worst program: housing. We also froze provider enrollment in a few of the most abused programs.

So where do we go from here?

To restore the integrity of the Medicaid program, Minnesota must:

1. Provide CMS with weekly updates on how the state is stopping fraud.

2. Freeze enrollment of all high-risk providers for 6 months.

3. Confirm all providers in place are legitimate or remove them.

4. Send CMS a corrective action plan of how these will prevent this from happening again.

If we’re unsatisfied with the state’s plans or cooperation, we’ll stop paying the federal share of these programs.

The message to Walz is clear: either fix this in 60 days or start looking under your couch for spare change, because we’re done footing the bill for your incompetence.

With CMS on the case, these scammers and their bureaucratic enablers have nowhere left to hide. The vulnerable Americans who depend on these programs — and the taxpayers who fund them — deserve the truth.

Netanyahu asks for pardon: Desperation or political calculation?

The Israeli PM wants to be absolved of his corruption charges; is he preparing for a clean exit or a fight with the rising opposition?

Israel’s domestic political life is boiling over. Against the backdrop of war, disputes over the limits of executive power, and a deepening crisis of trust in state institutions, the country appears to be edging toward a major political transformation. This is hardly surprising. Large-scale shifts are visible across the region and at the global level of international affairs, where older models of stability are breaking down and competition between strategies and identities is intensifying.

An additional catalyst has been the unprecedented story of the official pardon request that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu submitted to President Isaac Herzog. Seeking to halt the corruption trial against him, Netanyahu framed the move as a step that could ease social polarization and free him to focus on leading the country. The President’s Office acknowledged the extraordinary nature of the request, said it would be carefully reviewed after receiving legal opinions, and released the relevant documents, including an extensive legal brief.

A key international dimension is that in November, US President Donald Trump sent Herzog a letter urging him to grant Netanyahu a full pardon, arguing that the court proceedings distract the prime minister at a critical moment. Politically, this can be read as more than a simple gesture of support. In Washington, especially after several turbulent episodes in 2025, there may be a growing sense that Netanyahu’s status and political vulnerability have become a significant source of instability and a risk to the US approach aimed at de-escalation and a longer-term settlement in Gaza. This interpretation also surfaces in expert discussions noting that the White House has had to restrain Israel’s leadership from undermining arrangements for the sake of domestic political survival.

Viewed in the wider regional context of 2025, the US has also faced an increasingly alarming security backdrop. This includes the Israel-Iran Twelve-Day War in June, which sharply altered the strategic landscape. Analysts have also debated the autumn strike on Doha as a highly sensitive precedent for the security of US allies in the Gulf and for the credibility of American guarantees. Within this framework, the idea that Trump seeks to avoid entangling the US in new, unwanted conflicts – and therefore may see Netanyahu’s legal and political incentives as a risk factor – appears politically plausible, even if Washington’s official language remains more cautious.

Netanyahu and his coalition do not seem to be in the strongest position. The war and its political fallout, the dispute over Haredi conscription, and the approaching budget deadline are all tightening internal pressure. The 2026 budget must pass the Knesset by the end of March 2026; otherwise, the law automatically triggers a scenario leading to early elections, even though the next regular elections are already scheduled for October 2026.

Against this backdrop, opposition leader Yair Lapid is increasingly stepping into the spotlight. He is working to align himself with Israel’s traditional foreign-policy partners and with more moderate domestic allies in an effort to pull the country out of growing isolation and to secure a base of support should early elections take place in 2026. This is also reflected in the way Lapid systematically uses the parliamentary platform and the international agenda, including pressure on the government over the framework of the US plan for Gaza – an area where Netanyahu’s coalition has often preferred to avoid a public display of unity.

Speaking about the regime’s growing international isolation, Lapid said Israel continues to endure the most serious political crisis in its history, and that the current situation reflects a loss of control on the part of the present government. According to media reports, he also linked this trend to the expanding international recognition of Palestine and to the consequences of economic and investment pressure, citing decisions by major players such as Norway’s sovereign wealth fund, which in 2025 began and later widened the exclusion of a number of Israeli companies and banks from its portfolio on ethical grounds. At home, the negative backdrop for Netanyahu is reinforced by polling data. In October, Israel’s Channel 12 recorded a significant share of respondents (52%) who do not want to see him as a candidate in the next election.

Trump blasts Indiana Republicans who defied redistricting pressure

President Trump lambasted Indiana Republicans who resisted his pressure to enter the mid-decade redistricting war, saying any party member who votes against redistricting "should be PRIMARIED."

The big picture: Indiana marks the latest setback in Trump's drive to lock in a GOP House majority through mid-decade gerrymandering — part of his broader push to expand Republican power state by state.

Republicans have pushed through aggressive maps in Texas, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio.

Democrats benefited from a court-approved map in Utah and their own partisan redraw in California.

Indiana joins Kansas, Nebraska and New Hampshire, other Republican-led states that have resisted reopening their maps so far.

Driving the news: Trump called out two Indiana lawmakers — Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray and Sen. Greg Goode — as "RINO Senators," a favorite dig of his that means "Republican in name only."

"Because of these two politically correct type 'gentlemen,' and a few others, they could be depriving Republicans of a Majority in the House, A VERY BIG DEAL!" the president wrote.

He also took aim at Indiana Gov. Mike Braun for "perhaps … not working the way he should to get the necessary Votes." Trump claimed Braun "wouldn't be Governor without me (Not even close!)."

Braun had called for a special session to pass a new map. But Bray said Friday that after "very serious and thoughtful consideration," the redistricting idea did not have enough support to move forward.

Threat level: Trump said Indiana lawmakers should "DO THEIR JOB, AND DO IT NOW" — and if they don't, he wrote, they should be booted out of office.

Seven of Indiana's nine U.S. House seats are held by Republicans. Trump wanted more.

A spokesperson for Goode said the senator "previously stated at a local listening session he hosted on Nov. 1 that he would not take a public stance unless and until he saw an officially introduced map and legislation on the floor of the State Senate."

Zoom out: Trump claimed that "no one is complaining" about California's redistricting push to net up to five seats, which was launched in response to the president's campaign to redraw Texas' map in Republicans' favor.

But his argument that "no one is complaining" seems at odds with the fact that his Justice Department is suing the Golden State over its Proposition 50 measure, which voters overwhelmingly approved earlier this month.

Catch up quick: Braun warned earlier this year that Indiana could face "consequences of not working with the Trump administration as tightly as we should" if the state dragged its feet on redistricting.

But ultimately, the Republican supermajority couldn't find the votes, Axios Indianapolis' Arika Herron reported.

While the House said they had the support, several Indiana Senate Republicans publicly opposed the move.

cont…

Brennan was different. He was the only person I ever heard of who actually voted for the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) candidate for president at the time, Gus Hall. Hall was an ultra neo-Stalinist hardliner who despised the Hayden/Fonda SDS types as softies. He frequently traveled to Moscow to receive the likes of the Brezhnev Prize from the Soviet dictator himself and went so far as to support the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. No action was too totalitarian, too fascist, for Hall, as long as it adhered to what he regarded as strict communist principles.

Not too many people knew about him even then, but Brennan clearly did. He says he backed Hall through youthful ignorance —an excuse hard to accept unless, of course, you are Barack Obama, who later made Brennan the CIA chief and had his own version of Hall in Frank Marshall Davis.

Years later, it was said that Brennan, who spent a good deal of time in the Middle East, had converted to Islam, but it was never proven.

What we do know is that Brennan was one of the 51 current and past intelligence agents who signed the infamous letter claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop was likely Russian disinformation. Nearly a hundred percent of the signatories of that letter must have known they were lying at the time, unless they were blithering idiots.

The House Judiciary Committee and Jim Jordan may have the goods on Brennan, lying—making “false statements,” in the parlance— to the committee regarding the even more infamous Steele dossier. Brennan asserted he never supported the dossier as evidence.

Documents apparently declassified in July 2025 assert just the opposite and show the former CIA director insisting the agency use the blatant fabrication as evidence—anything to get Trump and his allies.

The question remains, however, whether the Department of Justice will be able to secure a conviction against this highly slippery character, who has been lawyered up on this and other matters for some time. It’s easy to be skeptical, but in this case, especially, it would be delightful to be proven wrong.

Lastly, why do I see Brennan as the “epitome of evil”? It’s something in my gut. But it also makes me reflect on that famous warning by Chuck Schumer just as Trump was entering the presidency for the first time: “Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.”

That warning curdled my blood then, and it does now. When I first visited CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, the very size of the institution made me suspicious. Was this an intelligence agency or something different, an alternative nation of some sort? Whatever it was, it was a truly immense bureaucracy of the kind for which self-preservation is often the greatest motivation. Will they find “six ways to Sunday” to save Brennan, or will justice prevail?

No case before the DOJ will be more important.
