Blue state fraud scandals highlight shocking reality - Minnesota's scandal and California's audit expose massive social service fraud

These events are happening in DemocRAT governed states - for more of the same, keep voting DemocRAT. --Minnesota and California, two of the most left-leaning, Democrat-controlled states in the country, are both in the midst of fraud scandals of simply breathtaking scale, as model red states like Florida and Texas are thriving. We really do have to ask the question, why? In Minnesota, despite most of the local news media dragging its feet like an elite NFL receiver on the sideline for years, as $9 billion of fraud and growing is being exposed, much of it committed by the burgeoning and bright blue Somali community.Much of this fraud centers on social service programs like day care centers and transportation to the doctor, but there are no kids, there are no rides being given, there is just graft, often tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars at a time.The situation in the Golden State is little better, with a recent audit leading to estimates that a stunning "$72 billion" may have been bilked from taxpayers, and that is according to Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom’s own auditor. And here again, social services appear to be at the heart of the alleged theft. For example, payment errors in food assistance benefits could cost the state $2.5 billion in federal funds, according to the report. There is also a bullet train to nowhere that has wasted so much money that the Trump administration is now pulling funding from it. -- https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/david-marcus-blue-state-fraud-scandals-highlight-shocking-reality-red-states

A Fox Nooze opinion piece! 100 percent DA TROOTY TROOT!

I can't help but notice that you NEVER use a legitimate news source...just some MAGA fool's opinion.

  And I can't help but notice that (1) - no matter what news source I provide, you dismiss it - and (2) you never provide a source to the lies you post non stop. 

Maybe kevin will believe this 

A recent report from California’s nonpartisan State Auditor, released in December 2025, has placed eight state agencies on a “high-risk” list due to vulnerabilities to waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement. This designation, which has doubled under Governor Gavin Newsom’s administration, highlights ongoing issues across programs like unemployment insurance (via the Employment Development Department), food assistance (CalFresh through the Department of Social Services), and financial reporting by the Department of Finance. The auditor warned that if improper payments in CalFresh are not reduced, the state could face an additional $2.5 billion annual cost to maintain federal benefits under new laws. Critics, including Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA), have pointed to these findings as evidence of systemic problems, with Kiley calling California the “fraud capital of America” and citing examples like estimated $32 billion in unemployment fraud during the pandemic.

Pandemic-era unemployment fraud estimates range from $20 billion (state figures) to over $32 billion (expert analyses), while critics aggregate these and other issues—such as infrastructure delays and a scrapped $650 million 911 upgrade component—to claim totals exceeding $76 billion in fraudulent or wasted funds.

I can't help but notice that you didn't provide any source at all, not even an illegitimate MAGA one. But you did report a hyperpartisan Republipig lie. 

So it's still up to you to prove that this report, as well as its source, is honest and accurate. 

But even if it's 100% DA TROOTY TROOT, why is David, living 1000 miles away, getting his panties twisted over it? Why are you? Does it affect you either way?
