@Minnesota_DHS @grok, was this a state or federal case and based on that, what are the sentencing guidelines for this amount of fraud?

And if you enable fraud at MN DHS, you will get promoted!
Thank You, Tim Walz.

The New York Times had three random people who have “studied fine arts,” “long written about urban planning,” and never built anything to write an article criticizing the new White House ballroom.
President Trump and his lead architect have built world-class buildings around the world, and they are ensuring the People’s House finally has a beautiful ballroom that’s been needed for decades — at no expense to the taxpayer.

The New York Times takes an architectural look at the coming White House ballroom and finds there is a lot of ornamental stairs to no where and faux windows with bathroom stalls behind them

Former commander of @NORADCommand & Northcom, General Glen VanHerck describes the "apparent drone" swarm over Barksdale @usairforce base as "astonishing", alarmed that these objects flew over the hugely sensitive base with "apparent impunity over several days". He raises grave concerns there's been no publicly known effective response from the military or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
It was General VanHerck who admitted to @60Minutes a year ago, the US doesn't know what they are - and likely still doesn't. We cannot even be sure they're actually drones because none have been downed despite attempts using the US' most sophisticated counter-UAS tech. Assertions they may be foreign adversaries are still speculative.
In March 2025, one year on from similar incursions over Langley AFB, the General told CBS 60 Minutes:
"We should be concerned that we don't know what these are... there are gaps in capability, there are gaps in policy, and there are gaps in law that need to be addressed."
A year on, we still don't know what they are and, at a time of high international tension, it's concerning that most media cast these incursions as potential foreign adversary drone warfare. @POTUS and @DeptofWar evade providing answers ... likely because, they don't have an answer.
Remember, the White House @PressSec said in January 2025:
“After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons. Many of these drones were also hobbyists — recreational and private individuals that enjoy flying drones. In time, it got worse due to curiosity. This was not the enemy.”
A year on, it appears there is still confusion about what these objects are. General VanHerck focused on 2023 military-base incursions (Langley and others), but his warnings about detection/policy gaps apply broadly to unexplained drone activity, including patterns that overlapped with the NJ reports. His very legitimate concern is that systemic vulnerabilities remain unaddressed even a year+ later; downplaying risks could leave the U.S. exposed.
This is why @SafeAerospace's calls for greater openness, transparency and reporting of unexplained objects in sensitive airspace need to be urgently heeded by Government.

Since this video with @BillMelugin_ , our team, led by @thecorygoat, has collected thousands of additional abandoned passports, IDs, and cell phones from those who crossed illegally. The government still hasn’t reached out for this intel. You have to ask yourself why.

@AArtists4 @IranIntl_En They've made a total of 10,000 strikes as of a couple days ago. This in a 3 week time period yet according to you they're delaying things....
English

@IranIntl_En Why aren’t these targets being struck from the air? Why the delay that allows these forces to regroup and organize attacks on civilians? This hesitation has been a critical weakness from the start.

@BearTown22 @bennyjohnson @VP MN wants to be CA and then only way they can do that is by rigging elections like CA and then make it uninhabitable for normal people like CA

🚨 BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance Officially CONFIRMS that Rep. Ilhan Omar Committed Immigration Fraud:
“Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America”
The VP says the White House is going to “go after” Omar for these crimes.
“What are the legal remedies now that we know she’s committed immigration fraud? How do you go after her? How do you investigate her? How do you actually build the case to actually get some justice for the American people?”
Vance also calls for a probe into Omar’s knowledge of rampant Somali fraud in Minnesota:
“She has been at the center of a lot of the worst fraudsters in the Somali community.”

@DataRepublican @LeaderJohnThune Nothing the uniparty republicans like less then being in power. Hard to waste 2 years and get nothing done except omnibuses filled with pork without being called out for it.

Hello Senator Thune,
At 3 AM on Friday, March 27th, in a near-empty chamber, you passed a bill by voice vote that excludes all funding for ICE and CBP.
Let me repeat that: voice vote. No roll call. No record of who was there. No accountability. Just you, Barrasso, and a handful of senators shuffling paper in the dead of night while America slept.
You could have demanded a recorded vote. You chose not to.
You could have held the line for five more days until the House returned. You chose not to.
You could have used the same procedural tools Democrats have used against you for 40 days. You chose not to.
Instead, you gave Chuck Schumer exactly what he asked for, DHS funding minus immigration enforcement, and called it a win. Then you walked to the cameras and blamed the Democrats.
Let's be precise about what you did:
1. You caved to a demand Democrats made on Day 1 of this shutdown. Forty-one days of supposed hardball negotiation, and you settled for their opening offer.
2. You handed them a template. The next time Democrats want to defund any agency — ICE, CBP, or anything else — they now know: just shut down DHS and wait. John Thune will fold at 3 AM.
3. You punted to reconciliation. "Good possibility," you said. Not "we will." Not "guaranteed." Just maybe. Meanwhile, ICE operates on fumes from last year's bill with no certainty of future funding.
The precedent you set:
You have argued for months that the filibuster is sacrosanct. That the 60-vote threshold protects minority rights. That we cannot bend Senate rules for policy wins.
But at 3 AM on Friday, you bent every norm that actually mattered:
• Voice vote to avoid accountability
• Empty chamber to avoid debate
• Midnight deal to avoid scrutiny
• Immediate recess to avoid questions
You'll bend the rules to avoid a fight. You just won't bend them to win one.
What you've actually accomplished:
Democrats demanded ICE restrictions. They got ICE defunded.
Not reformed. Not restrained. Defunded.
And you're out here tweeting about how Democrats are the "Defund the Police" party while you just voted to defund border enforcement at 3 in the morning.
The question you should answer:
Why did this deal have to happen at 3 AM?
Why couldn't it happen at 3 PM, with cameras rolling and every senator on record?
You know why. Because you didn't want your voters to see what surrender looks like.
Here's my message: We saw it anyway.
Stop hiding behind "Democrat obstruction." You're the Majority Leader. You set the schedule. You control the floor. You chose this outcome.
Own it.
English

Let’s summarize where we are after a 40+ day Democrat shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security.
1) ICE and CBP are funded, thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts and the foresight of President Trump and Republicans in Congress.
2) After holding DHS and the American people hostage for over 40 days, Dems got ZERO restrictions that would prevent ICE and CBP agents from doing their jobs safely.
3) Due to Dem obstruction of the appropriations process, ICE and CBP will get even more funding through budget reconciliation.
4) Dems have once again established themselves as the “Open Borders, Defund the Police” party heading into an election.
5) Dem leadership has proven once again they can’t be trusted to make a deal.
Which begs the question if you’re a Dem senator or one of their left-wing supporters: What was this really all about?
