American politics seem to all be 'politician does something evil, doesn't get assassinated'

California should freeze federal tax payments.

So CA is being targeted. I smell a lawsuit.

Oz said that the administration needs California to clarify $630 million in billing, $500 million in home health services and $200 million in “questionable expenditures” linked to coverage for undocumented immigrants, he claimed. They are not eligible for Medicaid, however.

The move is similar to the one the administration took in February suspending Medicaid payments to Minnesota.

This has nothing to do with “fraud”, and everything to do with Californian and Minnesotan resistance to the DHS and ICE incursions of their cities, and punishing their citizens for daring to vote against Trump. California’s Republican voters are just collateral damage to them:

As of 2024, California had a higher Medicaid enrollment rate than the US overall. Enrollment in the state peaked in 2023 at 38.7%

In California, enrollees are categorized into 5 different categories:

• Children
• Pregnant women and parents or caretakers
• Adults without dependent children
• People with disabilities (including both adults and children)
• Seniors (age 65 and over

Californians across party lines overwhelmingly support Medi-Cal. Eighty percent (80%) of Democrats, 75% of Independents, and 62% of Republicans agree that the program should generally stay as it is today.

“Doctor” Oz is no longer just a daytime TV huckster, he’s driving the policy that removes health care from pregnant women, children, and senior citizens. These people are black-hearted, red-eyed evil - “Do what we say, or we’ll take away the taxpayer-funded healthcare you paid for.”

Just look at the glee on his fat stupid face, never seen people so happy to deprive people of things. Every decision they make is the most awful, the most punitive, the most cowardly one they could possibly make. Theyre going to find that a whole lot of libs arent anywhere near as soft as they seem to believe.

could freeze funding for their Medicaid fraud units unless they investigate and prosecute fraud by providers

lolwut?

Weaponizing the feseral govt against some states?

This will mostly hurt his supporters.

But you guys take one for the team, okay MAGA?

The Secretary of State does not do Secretary of State things and the VP is delivering policy announcements. It used to be that job titles had specific responsibilities attached.

This will last until it gets into a court room.

Vance is not president why is he doing anything like this? Isn't this Trump's job? I didn't remember any other vice president (maybeee Cheney) being this involved in doing the presidents job

My prediction: California will someday be the capital of a great nation. Vance, will have no nation left to call his own.

It's a misleading title, but it doesn't get much better if you click on it. Funny thing is they are complaining that California isn't tough on fraud. FRAUD! I mean you can't make this shit up. I thought this just means that California is now qualified to be president.

Even the people on r/conservative are calling this the dumbest way to handle the issue...

Usha deserves that ugly fuck

Can't wait to read the governor candidates responses to this.
