"Do you have beer?" "Yes." "He's paying with the EBT card?" "Oh, yes." "If you put it as food, they don't know it's beer." "Uh-huh." Not only did we expose EBT benefits being used to buy drugs, like ‘kratom’, we also revealed the bodegas across New York City selling us beer with EBT cards. In Queens, we asked him to run the beer as "food." He agreed and we walked out with beer purchased using an EBT card. Federal law is clear: SNAP benefits are for eligible food items only under the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 and 7 CFR 271.2. Alcohol cannot legally be purchased with SNAP benefits. These NYC retailers who intentionally process alcohol as food are violating federal SNAP regulations, subject to disqualification from SNAP…
AI:James O'Keefe has once again pulled back the curtain on the lawlessness thriving in our urban centers, exposing a brazen scheme where New York City bodegas are intentionally circumventing federal law to sell alcohol using SNAP and EBT benefits. By instructing retailers to process beer transactions as "food" items to evade detection, these vendors are directly violating the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 and multiple state criminal statutes. This isn't just a matter of simple retail error; it is a systemic exploitation of regulatory loopholes that allows taxpayer-funded benefits intended for food security to be diverted into illegal alcohol sales. While the establishment media remains predictably silent about this blatant theft from…Open

A deadly Legionnaires' disease outbreak on Manhattan's Upper East Side has now killed seven people and sickened 92, matching last summer's Harlem death toll and raising pointed questions about whether New York City's inspection regime failed again. New York City health officials confirmed the seventh death Thursday evening, announcing that one of six patients still hospitalized had died from the bacterial lung infection. Five people remained hospitalized as of Thursday. The Health Department said no new cases had been identified since July 21, but the rising body count has done little to quiet critics who say the city moved too slowly to enforce its own rules. The outbreak has centered on cooling towers, rooftop units that regulate…Open
