On the Republican side in Michigan, Trump backed John James is competing against Perry Johnson and Mike Cox for the governor’s race. Michigan, Virginia, Kansas, Missouri and Washington State are all holding primary races today.
If you are watching the race results, feel free to use this thread as an open discussion with your thoughts and opinions on any of the states holding elections today.
The DOJ Fraud Division, U.S. Attorney’s Office, and Pennsylvania Attorney General today announced criminal charges against 19 defendants, including owners and employees of home care companies, for their alleged participation in various fraud schemes involving over four million dollars in claims to Medicare and Medicaid.
The Pennsylvania Attorney General also announced a plea agreement involving the final defendant in a previously-charged 21 defendant case involving over $1.7 million in claims.
Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald of the Justice Department’s National Fraud Enforcement Division, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, U.S. Attorney David Metcalf for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and senior federal and state officials hold a press conference announcing a significant health care fraud takedown and a new Anti-Fraud Initiative in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
To emphasize the scope of the fraud in California and New York Dr Oz notes, “the number one job in the entire state is personal care services.” (WATCH – prompted):
DOJ Press Release – […] The defendants’ conduct was characterized by extraordinary greed. In one case, the Pennsylvania Attorney General charged a purported home health aide who claimed to have provided services to up to seven Medicaid recipients at once. On over 1,100 occasions, the defendant allegedly claimed to have provided care for more than 24 hours in a single day, totaling over 64,000 hours that could not have been worked.
As alleged, Medicaid paid over $1.2 million as a result of the scheme. Another defendant who was charged in today’s announcement, a purported aide, claimed to have worked over 8,700 overlapping hours. As alleged, there were nearly 400 days on which the defendant claimed to be working for more than 24 hours in a day. The defendant allegedly caused over $180,000 in loss to Medicaid. In another case, a defendant was charged who claimed to have provided over 1,300 hours of home care services for a Medicaid recipient who was himself incarcerated on state drug charges. A defendant in one case was captured on a recorded conversation stating that “this home health care is the best kept secret . . . I made a buck plus [each of] the last five years, that’s, that’s a half a million dollars . . . I ain’t checking on nobody.” (read more)

Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn finally dropped their opposition to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche advancing the nomination with a judiciary committee vote 12-10 along party lines.
Senator Chuck Grassley navigated a pathway out of the committee with an agreement by AAG Blanche that an IRS lawsuit settlement agreement between the DOJ and Trump attorneys would not create a J6 victim’s compensation fund.
The $1.8 billion settlement between the IRS and lawyers representing President Trump for leaking the candidates’ personal tax returns still remains at the heart of the matter. What Donald Trump and the Trump Organization plan to do with the settlement is unknown, hence the political consternation about the settlement remains in place.
WASHINGTON DC – […] Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said ahead of the vote that Cornyn and Tillis’ concerns about the fund “and the IRS settlement were shared by many, including this senator.” He added that the changes Blanche made “put this issue to bed once and for all.”
Democrats lambasted the deal Cornyn and Tillis struck, saying it would not meaningfully bind Trump from eventually resurrecting the payout fund and using his to enrich his political allies, including participants in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
“To state the obvious, Mr. Blanche’s statement on the slush fund and the IRS immunity agreement are not signed by the parties to the settlement agreement and are therefore unenforceable,” said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the top Democrat on the panel. “The parties could still sue to enforce the agreement and the cop-beaters fund can easily be revived with a new order from the Department of Justice 15 minutes after Mr. Blanche is confirmed as attorney general.” (read more)
The bottom line is that President Trump had already told the Senate he was going to continue the use of previously confirmed Deputy AG Todd Blanche as the leader of the DOJ regardless of their opposition to his “Acting AG” status.
Tillis and Cornyn are both leaving the Senate at the conclusion of this term in January. As they depart, they stand as physical embodiment of the elite and detachment mindset within the Senate that believes they are the source of omnipotent power from the upper chamber.
Democrats thirst power and use money to achieve influence.
Republicans thirst money and use power to achieve affluence.
This dynamic represents the ideology behind both wings of the UniParty in Washington DC.
