Sadly, there is no greater example of what @berniemoreno is saying than Massachusetts. Why do you think MA officials refuse to share with the federal government data and information of the people receiving SNAP benefits? They refuse to provide the information despite a whistleblower coming forward disclosing that fraud is rampant. They refuse to provide the information despite the state auditor and US Attorney finding millions in fraud related to SNAP and Medicaid. They refuse to provide the information while at the same time refusing to allow an audit of state spending that 72% of voters made the law in November 2024. That’s why I’m leading a taxpayer lawsuit to force the audit and I’ve also called upon @realDonaldTrump, @SecDuffy and @russvought to freeze all non-essential, non-emergency discretionary federal spending to MA and any federal funding already authorized but not yet allocated to come with a Transparency Rider - requiring the state government to be in full compliance of all voter-mandated audit and transparency laws. #mapoli #MASen #Deaton(John E Deaton)
