Uncle Sam needs you to help crush the billion-dollar financial fraud gangs. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is launching a new program on Monday that will reward tipsters with up to 30% of the fines imposed on criminals who are trying to bleed US taxpayers dry, The Post has learned. The program includes tips for Medicaid and Medicare rip-offs — and given that fraud in those two programs tops some $70 billion per year according to one estimate, whistleblowers could be in for some big payouts. Other forms of financial crimes are also included. The move comes after Bessent visited Minnesota in January, which had become ground zero for a sprawling web of scams by Somali immigrants, who allegedly ripped off government welfare programs to the tune of at least $9 billion since 2018. more at https://nypost.com/2026/03/29/business/scott-bessent-launches-crackdown-on-health-care-fraud-after-somali-scam-scandal-in-minnesota/

House panel finds Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick guilty of 25 ethics charges WASHINGTON — After a rare and dramatic public hearing, a special House Ethics subcommittee on Friday found Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., guilty of 25 ethics charges, capping a three-year investigation into allegations she stole millions in federal relief funds and funneled some of that to her congressional campaign. The secret vote came after Cherfilus-McCormick and her attorney sat for a nearly seven-hour televised House trial, after which lawmakers on the panel deliberated overnight for hours before reaching their decision. Cherfilus-McCormick has denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty in a separate but related federal criminal case. “I look forward to proving my innocence,” the congresswoman said in a statement. “Until then, my focus remains where it belongs: showing up for the great people of Florida’s 20th District who sent me to Washington to fight for them.” The decision likely sets the stage for Cherfilus-McCormick’s ouster from Congress. more at https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/ethics-committee-finds-rep-sheila-cherfilus-mccormick-guilty-violating-rcna265459

bcd is probably easier to get.

i think presenting a kid with the award "“Most likely to be a dictator" and in front of his peers is enough to warrant dismissal. apparently this teacher also more at https://www.gainesville.com/story/news/education/2025/11/21/gainesville-florida-teacher-suspended-over-dictator-student-award/87397062007/

A Gainesville High School teacher who was put on indefinite leave for allegedly awarding a student a “Most likely to be a dictator” superlative, is scheduled to appear in a Gainesville courtroom in May. Lauren Watts is set to appear in court on May 27 at 9:30 a.m., after Florida Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas refiled a complaint against Watts in February. A Leon County judge dismissed his initial complaint, citing a lack of due process. "A teacher chose to designate a student as the “most likely to become a dictator.” A parent brought this issue to my attention. I immediately took action to investigate the issue," Kamoutsas wrote in an Aug. 21 X post. "I found probable cause and will take every necessary action to ensure this teacher never teaches again." more at https://www.gainesville.com/story/news/education/2026/03/26/gainesville-florida-teacher-to-appear-in-court-over-dictator-award/89334389007/

maybe it can make pina coladas?

leave it to the guardian to make it about LGB whatever instead of reality.

bad conduct discharge.

bcd at the least.

it's a train wreck that will keep on going the further it is looked into. sadly, not as much will be done about this as there should be.

on the other side of the coin, the developer doesn't tell the end user about all of these features.

that would explain why the left was screeching so much about aid to ukraine.

except for they'll have ridiculously low bail and continue on..........

it's rather irksome as a kid custody is split 50/50, but the school wont' play ball. i'm so glad i'm past that drama stage.

i wonder if a local tv station might be interested in this - win custody in court, get grief from the school.

they really need to change this to texas licensing and department of regulation - so it can then be called TLDR but but orange man bad!

they made a movie about cocaine bear. now we need a movie about this!
