During Covid, the federal government doled out money to provide free meals to children. It was Covid, so the government decided to abandon any pretense of preventing fraud — and plenty of people noticed immediately.
In Minnesota, members of the Somali community built one of the largest fraud operations in US history. They fabricated ludicrously fake tallies of prepared meals, then pocketed $250 million in taxpayer cash — millions of which went overseas to Somalia. 80% of the money was never recovered.
Now, the perpetrators are on trial, and one juror had $120,000 in cash dropped at her door, with more promises if she voted to acquit. The defense, meanwhile, is hiring college professors to lecture that scamming the government and sending suitcases full of cash abroad is a part of Somali culture, and trying to stop them is of course “racist.”
In the 20th century Minnesotans were famous for their upright morals and civic-mindedness.
Their stereotype in the 21st century is becoming something else entirely.

Project 2025 - Wikipedia
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025
Project 2025, also known as the Presidential Transition Project, is a collection of right-wing policy proposals from The Heritage Foundation to reshape the U.S. federal government in the event of a Republican victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Established in 2022, the project aims to recruit tens of thousands of conservatives to the District of Columbia to replace existing federal civil servants—whom Republicans characterize as part of the "deep state"—and to further the objectives of the next Republican president. It adopts a maximalist version of the unitary executive theory, a disputed interpretation of Article II of the Constitution of the United States, which asserts that the president has absolute power over the executive branch upon inauguration

"The girl is said to have lured the man out to Hjälstaviken where the brothers were to confront and rob him - but that a commotion ensued and the man died.

"Though the comics industry has a myriad of problems, as Batman writer Chip Zdarsky said, the primary issues are twofold: 1. Fans don't see any reason to keep reading because continuity gets rebooted at the drop of a hat, invalidating classic stories they love and never progressing characters and 2. DC Comics and the rest of the industry have done everything they can to push the LGBTQ agenda on all of their characters, making it difficult for any readers to want to read gay romance fan fiction of their favorite characters."

"In a new paper published in Nature Astronomy, lead author and astrophysicist Merav Opher—an astronomy professor at Boston University and fellow at Harvard Radcliffe Institute— found evidence that some two million years ago, the solar system encountered an interstellar cloud so dense that it could have interfered with the sun's solar wind. Opher and her co-authors believe this shows that the sun's location in space might shape Earth's history more than previously considered."
