Our thoughts are with the Maine Warden Service today as they mourn the loss of one of their own. Our deepest condolences to the family and friends affected by this loss.🙏🏻

"Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is heartbroken to share that Game Warden Pilot Joshua Tibbetts died this morning in a plane crash in Avon, ME.

Game Warden Pilot Tibbetts served the people of Maine as a Maine Game Warden for 18 years, including the last three years as a pilot for Maine Warden Service. In that role, his specialized aviation work supported search and rescue, law enforcement, fisheries and wildlife conservation, and public safety across the state.

This is an incredibly difficult loss for his family, friends, colleagues, and the entire Maine Warden Service."

WATCH LIVE: Vice President JD Vance’s Press Conference on Anti-Fraud Initiatives

https://fb.watch/H4tZ4kIVSj/

VP: "We're announcing that the federal government is deferring $1.3 billion in Medicaid reimbursements from the state of California — and the simple reason is because the state of California has not taken fraud very seriously."

"Guess how many convictions or indictments has Hawaii had over the last few years in its Medicaid fraud program. The answer is zero—not a single indictment, not a single conviction."

VP highlights how blue states like Hawaii and New York allow welfare fraud to take place.

VP: "Today, we are sending, across 50 Medicaid programs, letters that will require them to show that they are effectively and aggressively prosecuting Medicaid fraud in their states—and, if they do not... we are going to turn off the money that goes to these anti-fraud units."

AFergusonFTC: "The states should be our partners with this. We want to partner with the states, but what we aren’t going to do, as stewards of the American taxpayer dollar, is to send those dollars—billions of them—to the states, to line the pockets of state attorneys general, who don’t want to participate in protecting our benefits programs so that the people who really need them... actually get the money."

DrOzCMS outlines the stunning level of suspected Medicaid and hospice fraud in California uncovered by the WH Fraud TF.

DrOzCMS: "In February, we had the largest anti-fraud announcement from CMSGov... today's effort is larger. It's MUCH larger—and there's a reason for that. Half of the fraud, we believe, in the federal government, could be coming out of healthcare services."

VP: I’m sure there are going to be some politicians who say what we're doing here is harming the Medicaid program. We’re trying to SAVE the Medicaid program from dysfunctional state bureaucrats. If you allow billions more money to go out the door, not to healthcare services for low-income families, but to fraudsters, you are eventually going to destroy the Medicaid program.

DrOzCMS announces a nationwide moratorium on new hospice and home healthcare licenses due to the massive scale of fraud until states better comply with the Trump Administration's efforts to restore integrity to the programs.

VP: "I agree with the President that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon."

After months of people openly getting high at this bus stop in broad daylight… the city finally responded.

Not by addressing the addiction crisis.
Not by increasing mental health outreach.
Not by making the area safer for families and Metro riders.

They removed the BENCH. 😳

Welcome to Los Angeles, where the solution to people struggling at a bus stop is apparently making sure nobody can sit down anymore.

Residents have been complaining for months about drug use, overdoses, aggressive behavior, and people taking over this area. I’ve documented it multiple times on my channel.

Now the bench is gone… but the crisis is still here.

WATCH: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons honors fallen law enforcement officers and agents:

"Police week is sacred, not because of ceremony, but because behind every name we honor was a human being, a son, a daughter, a husband, a wife, a mother, a father, a partner, and a friend. Someone who kissed their family goodbye one last time without knowing it would be the last time."

"These are generations of law enforcement professionals who stood watch over this nation, accepted the risks most Americans will never fully understand."

NEW: An officer with the Eugene Police Department in Oregon resigned effective immediately after body camera footage of his "racist and deeply offensive language" began circulating on social media.

Here's the audio. Literally said nothing wrong.

The officer said he supported ICE, praised BORTAC agents after they annihilated rioters outside the federal building, and asserted in response to the Minneapolis ICE raids:

“Fuck the Somali and Latino communities. I am about the American communities! So, while you’re trying to divide us further…”
