This makes my blood boil. How does this even get normalized? Newsom has done nothing to combat the rampant fraud in California. This is beyond maddening. I want my money back. We all deserve it. I don’t want to pay any more taxes. Not wirh this going on.
I bet when all is said and done, it ends up a whole lot more than $180B. There's probably fraud in every inch of CA in some way or another, but especially more so in blue areas.
Throughout history, empires fall not due to external invasion but internal corruption. Such is the State of Union of America today. Chris has been at the forefront of exposing corruption under the disguise of democratic social welfare for years. With the election of Donald Trump and especially initiation of the DOGE program, his presence has been greatly magnified. I hope that the new fraud fighting program lead by VP JD Vance will take advantage of Chris' work and expertise to not only expose but address the root causes of wide spread fraud, including the cultural decay underpinning such political corruption.
There’s a lot of people in this country who would crawl over broken glass just to vote someone into office who would “clap back” at Trump, and undo everything he’s done, and will do in his second term. Crawling on broken glass includes voting for Newsom. This is astounding.
Well, if the GOP has any sense at all (doubtful) they would nominate someone extremely well qualified but who is not in the TRUMP orbit. Like Nikki Haley. There are several more.
It seems we've normalized these eye popping amounts of fraud. We can be confident that this is happening all over when you spend other people's (read tax payors) money.
It seems step one is fewer "block" grants would help to leverage the centralized crime prevention (read consequences) available from the Feds.
Put it in yhe hands of treasury agents and give out bonuses for recovery of ill gotten gains.
So many people in bureaucratic and elected positions with no solid background in cultural norms, morals, ethics. It’s as if criminals run the governmental and non profit - NON PROFIT - agencies. As if!
I'm not American so perhaps Californians see something beyond earthly abilities in Newsomdo but, he has proven himself to be wittingly or unwittingly incompetent in addition to lacking in judgement and reasoning 101. What is not comprehensible is how Californians voted him in and then upon recall voted him in again when his intellectual prowess and his questionable character were already apparent.
Brilliant but disappointing. I feel like Blue Team would vote for him anyway because he is Blue Team. I am amazed that this culture of grift is simply allowed to grow and thrive. Did not see a grand total but it has to be more than MN, which is what people predicted. It also seems like even the people convicted face no real consequences. They hide the money for when they get out, if they even go in. That state senator wants to increase the threshold for welfare fraud up from $950. To what end? Who is benefitting from that? It is creating a prop 47 for fraud. Normal folks go to work and pay their taxes - and it seems like our leaders drag the money into a parking lot and set it on fire. The only thing dems can do is look around and see who else has money, and try to get it, like the wealth tax. How do we stop this? I don't want to leave this state but it is so poisoned.

Good job Chris Ruffo.
I am livid.
This should be disqualifying for Newsom to hold higher office. Can you imagine him as President? Good lord. We would be in serious trouble.
people will pull the lever for him because he goes after DJT
You’d probably get more time for not paying your taxes than the fraudsters get for stealing!

It's because of the support of patriots like you that this reporting is able to happen. Thank you!
And just think: in 2028, half the country will be stupid enough to vote for this guy.
That’s what’s so crazy.. I bet it will be less, but what is there will be propped up by Trump hysteria, even as Trump leaves office.

Chris, you and your team have done the whole country a huge service. Congratulations!

Sounds a lot like Venezuela except all the money is gone in Venezuela (stolen il money) and California has the Feds to print more money.
If there is incompetence, it is by design...

Leftards want to run Newsom for President. Based on this story, he is eminently qualified to represend the Democrat Party.

It's always the same song..."But Trump!!!....."
Who needs decarceration? Here, everybody gets a taste!
Add fake hospice businesses to the list.
