Government Corruption

Massachusetts’ Bureau of Special Investigations has exposed that $11.9M was diverted from SNAP, Medicaid, and aid programs in FY2025

[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

Here we GO! The Massachusetts’ Bureau of Special Investigations has exposed that $11.9M was diverted from SNAP, Medicaid, and aid programs in FY2025.

To be clear... that money was meant for the vulnerable. And it disappeared into the Democrat-run state.

#3 Given the bureaucratic metric for success is how much money goes out, there is an actual incentive to minimally turn a blind eye if not encourage theft.

#7 Massachusetts investigated themselves? This sounds like a modified limited hangout to forestall a more in depth federal investigation that would uncover the true amount of theft.

#9 @7 I'm sure there are people in the IRS and other agencies who will start their own investigation.
