The Trump administration is halting $259 million in Medicaid funding to Minnesota until the state takes steps to root out fraud in the program, Vice President JD Vance and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator Mehmet Oz announced Wednesday. Why it matters: CMS served notice that it plans similar freezes to other states' funding as part of the administration's crackdown on fraud. - It also keeps a focus on Minnesota's safety net funding after the administration used the state's inability to rein in fraud as justification for launching the ICE enforcement surge that targeted the state's Somali community. State of play: Wednesday's announcement came after Health and Human Services last month notified Minnesota that it…

Rep. Al Green's (D-Texas) latest protest during President Trump's State of the Union has triggered a fresh Republican push to censure him. But not every Republican thinks it's worth the fight. Why it matters: GOP leaders and some rank-and-file members aren't sold on censuring Green, arguing the once-rare punishment has become too routine. - A vote to censure Green could reopen a tit-for-tat cycle that lawmakers in both parties have said is diminishing the punishment's weight. Driving the news: Rep. Michael Rulli (R-Ohio) said Tuesday night he's introducing a resolution to censure Green, whom he called "a disgrace to the United States Congress." - But House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told reporters he's not sure censure is "going to…

U.S. officials are looking into an announcement by Cuba's government that it killed four people aboard a Florida-tagged boat near the Villa Clara coast on Wednesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said. Why it matters: The Trump administration has already signaled an openness to regime change in Cuba, and the incident that Cuban officials claim was "intended to carry out an infiltration for terrorist purposes" risks another escalation between Washington and Havana. The latest: Rubio told reporters U.S. officials were still gathering facts about what happened and the nationalities and residential statuses of those on the boat, with the Department of Homeland Security and Coast Guard involved in the independent investigation. - There…

The late sex trafficker had no problem bending American immigration law for his “girls,” with a little help from Democratic officials. The post The Immigration Angle to the Epstein Scandal appeared first on The American Conservative .
Politics The Immigration Angle to the Epstein Scandal The late sex trafficker had no problem bending American immigration law for his “girls,” with a little help from Democratic officials. Democrats are exulting over their brilliant move of bringing Jeffrey Epstein “survivors” to Trump’s State of the Union address. (It didn’t seem to faze him.) I gather that this means Democrats and the media have moved on from their complete indifference to Epstein’s victims to deep concern. Notwithstanding their current garment-rending, liberals could not have been less interested in Epstein’s victims when they first…Open

UK Special Coverage Can the UK Populists Remain Popular? The Reform juggernaut could run aground on fiscal policy. UK Special Coverage The paramount aim of populist nationalist parties like the Rassemblement National (RN) in France, the Scottish National Party (SNP), or Reform UK is to be, well, popular. That may seem a banal observation, but their success depends on appealing to the widest possible range of voters, albeit united by their love of country and opposition to the dilution of national culture by immigration. Coherent policies on economics, tax, and spending come second to la Patria. Reform has…Open
