500,000 people caught collecting duplicate food stamp benefits. 244,000 dead people on the rolls. 895 arrests. And that's just in the cooperating red states! FGA research cited on @IngrahamAngle with USDA @SecRollins digs deeper—and all taxpayers should take notice! ⤵️

87 percent of all adult cash welfare recipients live in blue states. Why? Red states implemented the 1996 reforms. Blue states didn't. The result: millions of able-bodied adults who should be working are still on the rolls — and the truly needy pay the price. 🧵

11 million Medicaid expansion enrollees in blue states alone will likely be subject to the new work requirements. If blue states are allowed to stall, millions of able-bodied adults stay trapped on welfare. Then the reform fails.

Through the One Big Beautiful Bill, the Trump administration can hold the line: no waivers, no delays, no loopholes. Blue states don't get to opt out of reform. Full FGA research by Michael Greibrok: thefga.org/research/to-maxim…

To Maximize the Reforms in the One, Big, Beautiful Bill, Blue States Must Be Held Accountable

1in 3 hospice providers in America is registered in Los Angeles County. LA has less than 3% of the U.S. population. Medicaid fraud doesn't get more brazen than this! FGA's @HaydenDublois and Trevor Carlsen have the all details in @CAPostOpinion. 🧵 LINK BELOW.

Over 27% of all Medicaid payments are improper. In Connecticut: 43%. In Ohio: 44.3%. States have thrown away $1.1 trillion in Medicaid payments over the last decade. The One Big Beautiful Bill starts fixing this now.

Yes, Medicaid fraud in California is far worse than you think. And other states are not immune from a broken, unaccountable system. Read more in @CAPostOpinion. ⤵️ nypost.com/2026/06/08/opinio…

It’s a good thing that millions of Americans are leaving food stamps. Incomes up. Dependency down. More resources for the truly needy. Less drain on the taxpayers. Work is back! ⤵️

Trump Accounts are a strong start. Max contributions invested in the market could exceed $300,000 by age 18 — a real down payment engine. Congress should also create a dedicated homeownership savings account.

The WSJ credits FGA research and calls out blue states trying to dodge work requirements through waivers and "other gimmicks." Paychecks are replacing welfare checks. Read it: wsj.com/opinion/the-food-sta…
