@RightPulseNewss Two things. 1) May be Cabrera's show but person on camera is Lisa Rubin. 2) If you actually listen to her, she says the combo of faces redacted as well as not redacted suggests committee or estate believed the redacted people are either minors and/or victims and survivors.

🚨BREAKING: MSDNC anchor Ana Cabrera is now facing mass calls to be fired after blatantly lying live on air that an image released by Democrats showed President Trump with minors when it was later revealed the women were adult models promoting a suntan lotion brand at Mar a Lago. THoughts...??👀

Take a moment to listen to State Auditor @ShadWhite explain why you should oppose the Mississippi Corruption Act of 2025 which would gut the power from the State Auditor's Office. Please call (601) 359-3200 and tell the Lt. Governor's office to put a stop to this bill.

@shadwhite you missed a bullet point. - paid a Boston firm $2 million in taxpayer funds to do his job for him, resulting in a report which had advice akin to "switch to Geico to start saving 15% or more today."

This is DEI Delbert defending his taxpayer-funded trip with Lynn Fitch to an out-of-state baseball game by… saying *I* should stay in the office and work harder? Brother, working (including the week you and Lynn went to the game while everyone else has to pay their own way) is how my team and I have - recovered more money in the last six years than any other six-year period in the history of the office (by a lot) - identified hundreds of millions of dollars of fat in your government - stopped the largest public fraud scheme in state history (which you’ve refused to even hold a hearing on) Frankly, some of me wishes you would stay out of the office more often, because when you do show up, you seem to spend your time funding DEI at our universities or telling President Trump to jump in the Gulf of Mexico. You even look like you could use a break in this video, so go take it.

How do we tell Shad gently that he’ll never be elected governor because he’s very small and has horsey teeth?

@shadwhite Can the machine learning determine how much time on the job you are actually counting beans as opposed to tweeting, speaking on SuperTalk, or writing your book?

Yesterday my office announced that we’d used advanced machine learning to find someone who’d illegally obtained unemployment compensation. We’re calling our use of data analytics to find unemployment fraud “Operation Payback.” Use of the most advanced technology is going to be critical to uncovering more fraud, waste, and abuse in the future. We’ve already used big data technology to… Identify folks who were dead but still on the state’s Medicaid program, Comb every expenditure of six school districts to find wasteful contracts, Look for vendors to government who might have committed fraud to win their contracts, And now to review thousands of unemployment compensation payments to look for fraudsters. If you’re thinking of defrauding Mississippi taxpayers you should understand that we’re not only watching, but we’re using machine learning to find needles in haystacks. You’re on notice.

Government waste fact of the day: My alma mater, Ole Miss, employs no less than 24 "diversity, equity, and inclusion" staffers, paid for with your money. They spend their time handing out grants for things like research on "equity-based" yoga for preschoolers. This is where two- and three-year-olds explore the intersection of "social justice" and yoga. Hear me out: maybe, just maybe, there's a better way to use our taxpayer money.

I’d like to congratulate the Christians of Mississippi for solving the homelessness, poverty, and food insecurity issues in MS. I’m assuming they did since they’re spending an ungodly amount of money on these giant cross idols everywhere.

I love video games. They bring so much joy and love and light to the world ...but there are also real concerns that come along with being a social space on the internet. Praising the good does not preclude us from acknowledging harms. #gamestudies takethis.org/?sdm_process_d…

@shadwhite By the 3 to 1 logic, I would tell the plumber that his $1 paid in taxes generated $3 to the state. Pretty good ROI. So it seems to me like you should spend your time coming up with a better explanation to the plumber. Let me focus on teaching college and you focus on real fraud.

@shadwhite I’ve been told by our university president a study showed for every dollar the state gave the university the return was three dollars back to the government. I hope your report includes that analysis. If the state is getting a 300% return, why is this a drum you continue to beat?

@shadwhite Let me get this straight. You’re upset she helped uncover some of the misspending, which is basically also what you do? Or you’re upset that media questions and criticizes those in power? Or you’re upset she won a Pulitzer? And you’re ironically criticizing her attention-seeking?

I wanted to take a moment and respond to some of the media's recent criticism about how I've handled the welfare scandal that my office uncovered in early 2020. The chief complaint some have made is that I didn’t make public some text messages where Gov. Tate Reeves’s brother, Todd, asked me how his friend, Brett Favre, could return some of the welfare money the state gave Favre. For anyone who says I should have put parts of our investigative file (like these text messages, emails, or other documents) on the internet, you must understand we do not do that. We do not do this because complex cases like this should be handled by the appropriate authorities, not writers desperate for awards and clicks. We’ve already seen the danger of newspapers trying criminal cases in their columns instead of the courtroom. For example, Mississippi Today’s CEO claimed Gov. Phil Bryant “embezzled” welfare money a few months ago in order to win some journalism awards. The CEO lied, she knows Bryant has never been charged with a crime, and she had to apologize for it. In this case, we have, however, turned over our investigative file to the FBI/Department of Justice. They’ve had the evidence for more than three years. If Mississippi’s Democrats and journalists believe there is some massive coverup among Republicans to make this DHS scandal go away, they have forgotten that it was a Republican (me) who told them about it in the first place, and they must somehow believe Joe Biden’s Department of Justice is in on the coverup. Do you honestly believe Grandpa Joe and I cooked up a plan to protect Republican Govs. Phil Bryant and Tate Reeves? Come on. Time to put down the medical marijuana. After Mr. Favre returned some of the money, I gave Mr. Favre credit because, at the moment, my team and I had no knowledge that Mr. Favre was aware of the purpose of the funds he’d received. We later learned through additional investigation that Mr. Favre knew the money was for people in “shelters,” etc. (his words) and that he hoped to hide this from the public. Anyone who thinks I’ve been overly kind to Mr. Favre over the past few years has to have been asleep. The man has sued me, repeatedly excoriated me on social media, and his lawyers have gone after me in the press. For what it’s worth, I don’t care. I’m just doing my job and telling you what happened to the money. If you want someone who will splash investigative records out for everyone to see while courts are considering these cases, vote for someone else. As far as I’m concerned, my team at the Office of the State Auditor has handled this case in a textbook manner. We unraveled the largest and most complex public fraud case ever in Mississippi. We saved the state millions in additional welfare funds that were about to be misspent. And we are letting prosecutors and judges—the appropriate authorities—decide who is to blame instead of the media.
