There's one thing that the right is talking about a lot this past week.
There's not a conspiracy theory that I want to talk about for one second.
And that is this fraud story in Minnesota.
Just like pretty shocking, like the scale of it.
You know, essentially, it's like a Medicaid fraud, like fake daycares and all this kind of fake groups being run in particular in the Somali community in Minnesota.
The result of this has been predictably like J.D.
Vance and Stephen Miller, et cetera, like using the most noxious rhetoric imaginable to target Somalis.
And, you know, talking about how they're, you know, that in particular, Somalis can't assimilate and all this kind of shit that people said about both of their ancestors 100 years ago.
And that's bad, right?
But there's just something that I'm noticing that has stuck in my craw a little bit on this.
I'm wondering if I could just rant for a second to you.
Think about this bill.
Is it like the Democrats who are talking about this?
I've seen maybe there's an exception.
Please, somebody send me.
So there's an exception.
Their rhetoric around this is entirely like, this fraud is bad and we should look into it, but the racism is really the bad part here.
I looked at one of Amy Klobuchar's tweets about this.
She's a senator from Minnesota.
