(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump signed an executive order to launch an task force targeting federal benefits fraud to be led by Vice President JD Vance, intensifying the administrations oversight of federal funds in Democratic-led states.
Trump and allies have sought to highlight fraud allegations in blue states, most notably in Minnesota, where the president seized on criminal cases involving Somali immigrants to justify in part an immigration crackdown in the state. Mondays order aims to expand that anti-fraud scrutiny nationwide.
This is not a Republican, Democrat thing. This is wherever its taking place, Trump said Monday as he signed the order establishing the task force. Still he added,It seems that its usually in blue states. If its in a red state, were going there too. But it seems that its heavily, heavily, heavily Democrat.
Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson will serve as vice chair and White House aide Stephen Miller will advise the task force, the New York Post reported Monday.

(28,438 posts)They are bootlicking cowards that don't have any spine and need to be voted out of office and replaced and while I would prefer a Democrat to take their place I'd settle for an honest Republican...... not that any such Republican exists.

That's what I'd be telling them and at this point they'd believe it whether it was true or not. All their costs are soaring, they're losing their healthcare, and who knows what else. They're literally crying on TikTok about how they trusted Dimmo the Clown to take care of people like them only to be made worse off.
Political jujitsu. It would be really fun to watch.

(1,881 posts)1) Scammers on the internet - something has to be done about it. Serious penalties need to be considered.
2) Executive Branch fraud - starting with T**** and working through the cabinet
3) Corporate fraud - exemplified by the AI companies at present
Instead, none of this will be judged worthy. They would rather punish blue states.
