If @GovWhitmer can give $2OM to a donor, can we spend $8M to stop $14M of SNAP fraud?
📣 PRESS RELEASE: Michigan taxpayers lost $14 million to SNAP fraud last year alone. Lansing should pursue low-cost solutions to rein in fraudulent spending, to ensure taxpayers see a greater return on investment with their tax dollars. michiganforwardnetwork.com/press-releases…
Why won’t Michigan fix its SNAP program?
Governor Whitmer has NOT announced a specific, formal plan targeting the recent spike of food stamps fraud 🚨 Michigan SNAP fraud up 400% in 2024 💳 $14M stolen via cloned Bridge cards 🔁 269K+ cards replaced (738/day) 👮♂️ Few prosecutions, weak card security
Can @MDHHS_Director please fix Michigans SNAP program? The program gets robbed every year. A fix would cost $8M.
Once again, millions stolen from Michigan taxpayers while Democrat leaders in Lansing continue to turn a blind eye. We need MI DOGE quick!
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer spent $219,622 on her June 2025 trip to Australia, @MichCapCon has learned.
President Donald Trump signed a spending bill into law on July 4 that will shift responsibility for about $890 million of food stamps to Michigan. The state can’t pay the bill, according to Michigan’s top executive. michigancapitolconfidential.com/news/michigan-…
Michigan lost more than 125,000 auto jobs over the last two decades — a 41% drop — while Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, and other states gained tens of thousands. michigancapitolconfidential.com/news/michigans…
This is one of many reasons why Michigan can’t fix its own roads but can offer $6B to an unnamed company.
Michigan taxpayers are unknowingly footing billions through a sneaky earmark loophole, using vague budget language to funnel money to favored businesses and bypass constitutional oversight. mackinac.org/blog/2025/snea…
This is too good
Corrupt politician affair caught at the Coldplay concert 👀
Pure opportunity - for criminals to steal from poor Michiganders
Criminals stole at least $14 million in food stamp benefits from Michigan’s most vulnerable residents last year — and the state shows no interest in pursuing a relatively low-cost fix for this growing problem. michigancapitolconfidential.com/news/michigan-…
Michigan taxpayers may soon pay $40 million to demolish a recently renovated elementary school and build its replacement elsewhere, all to make room for a megasite that lacks a tenant. michigancapitolconfidential.com/news/no-buyer-…

Can we please fix the roads?
.@peeking_at_u says she got a letter that the state of Michigan had paid off her mother’s $3500 medical debt. The problem? Her mother is no longer with us. This program is being paid for by taxpayer dollars. She also came with the proof. I do need to find out that if a loved one…
🏢💸🔍There’s no buyer for Gov Whitmer’s proposed megasite vanity project near Flint. However, the MEDC & local accomplices still plan to spend $259M to buy land & remove houses‼️The same clique now wants to spend $40M to tear down & relocate a 450 student elementary school⁉️
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources paid $266,000 to advertise at gas pumps in fiscal years 2024 and 2025, according to a document obtained through a records request. michigancapitolconfidential.com/news/michigan-…
🏢💸🔍 No mention of the $20M Fay Beydoun scandal. However, Gov Whitmer drones on about her latest notion to establish a “whole-of-government strategy” and directs the MEDC to support good paying jobs by spending $4.1M in state funds on “uncrewed aircraft systems technologies”⁉️
Michigan has money to pay off dead people’s medical debt but not to fix the roads

Colbert's show is losing more than $40M a year for CBS. Even if he worked for free, they would have been $20-25M in the hole.
The timing and optics are terrible, but Stephen Colbert’s show costs more than $100M a year to produce and is losing more than $40M a year. CBS execs had been mulling for a long time whether to pull the plug. Details ⬇️⬇️ puck.news/was-colberts-c…

Governor Whitmer is "troubled" that HER administration gave HER friend $20 Million of YOUR money. But not "troubled" enough to answer questions about HER staff's involvement. detroitnews.com/story/news/pol…
