The Justice Department filed a lawsuit against New York state officials, alleging they failed to stop a fraud scheme that “generated millions of dollars in unauthorized profits funded by federal taxpayers in connection with its takeover of New York’s $10 billion-dollar CDPAP program.” “NY Health Commissioner James McDonald and Medicaid Director Amir Bassiri have been charged in connection with a Medicaid fraud being brought by the feds alleging the Hochul administration rigged the transition of CDPAP services for Public Partnerships, LLC and allowed the company to siphon millions more than it contract allows,” New York Post reporter Vaughn Golden said.

McDonald for the Justice Department’s National Fraud Enforcement Division. “Today’s action is the latest reminder that the Justice Department is mobilizing every available tool to protect taxpayer-funded programs from fraud and corruption,” McDonald added. “One of the Justice Department’s key priorities is protecting the public fisc and delivering savings to American taxpayers,” said Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate of the Justice Department’s Civil Division. “New York’s failure to police a favored vendor that unlawfully siphoned millions of dollars of Medicaid funding is egregious and betrays the public trust. The Justice Department is acting to ensure that federal laws regarding truthful statements and fair dealing in federal health care programs are upheld and to prevent additional harm from being exacted against the public by Public Partnerships LLC and New York,” Shumate continued. More from the New York Post: The suit names state Health Commissioner James McDonald and Medicaid Director Amir Bassiri but a 60-page complaint filed in US District Court for the Eastern District of New York doesn’t directly accuse Hochul of any wrongdoing. But the complaint does include emails between the health department and the stumbling company PPL that show the Democratic governor was actively involved in not only the transition process, but also the awarding of the bid to the company. The suit claims New York health officials wrote that they were under “pressure from the Governor’s Office” as they vetted other potential bidders in emails to health officials from other states. PPL later secured the bid but proposed extending the timeline for CDPAP recipients and caregivers to transition to the new system – asking to stretch the requirement from three months to nine months as it scrambled to hire staff. But Hochul’s office refused to extend the timeline according to internal emails from a state health department “principal” included in the complaint. “I wanted to give you a heads up that Chamber is coming in hard on the [Statewide Fiscal Intermediary] launch, they really aren’t entertaining options to move off of a path that gets this done by 4/1,” the staffer wrote. “We will not be advancing statutory or regulatory changes [to extend the CDPAP transition timeframe] at this time.” Over the next few months, Hochul’s office was actively involved in downplaying the seriousness of the transition disaster as thousands of disabled New Yorkers spent hours dealing with horrible customer service problems while they tried to keep their caregivers paid. “CDPAP is a Medicaid program that provides home care through lay caregivers to Medicaid patients with disabilities or significant medical needs. In spring 2024, the New York Legislature passed a statute that consolidated the management of CDPAP from hundreds of pre-existing ‘fiscal intermediaries’ to a single fiscal intermediary, setting up one of the most lucrative contracts for administering a Medicaid program in the nation,” the Justice Department stated in a press release. “The lawsuit alleges that although New York purported to conduct a fair bidding process to select the single fiscal intermediary during summer 2024, New York pre-selected PPL for the billion-dollar contract by conducting a sham bid process that resulted in PPL being awarded the contract in late 2024,” it continued.

Worse yet, PPL and New York, without explanation, have disregarded key limits the contract imposed on the revenues and profits PPL was entitled to receive under the contract – limits that were central to the goal of saving hundreds of millions of dollars through the CDPAP transition. Instead of ensuring that PPL complied with the contract and protecting the American taxpayers, New York has permitted PPL to raid the CDPAP program of millions of dollars in excess revenues, billing at hourly rates in excess of those anticipated by New York prior to the contract award. As a result of PPL’s self-dealing and New York’s failure to require it to comply with the terms of the contract, the purported cost savings that the CDPAP transition was to provide largely have been erased. To date, New York and PPL repeatedly and willfully have misled the public and the New York Legislature concerning important aspects of the CDPAP transition, including, without limitation, the gross mismanagement of the program by PPL and New York.

On Sunday, President Trump officially turned 80 years old! At today’s 67, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz had a late birthday present ready for President Trump. Amid the World Cup, the gift was a custom “Trump 47” version of the German national soccer team’s jersey. Chancellor Merz shared some photos on social media: Happy belated 80th birthday, @POTUS. After all, we're on the same team. pic.twitter.com/rDmhnAqNM3 — Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz (@bundeskanzler) June 16, 2026 Watch President Trump’s reaction to the gift in this clip: Watch Trump’s Reaction as German Chancellor Gifts Him No. 47 Soccer Jersey at G7 Summit pic.twitter.com/w62clmjzsV — New York Post (@nypost) June 16, 2026 Gifts appear to be the German Chancellor’s way of trying to win over President Trump and project unity between our nations. The New York Post provided some more background: Merz has a track record of gifts tailored to win Trump’s approval. Last year, the chancellor presented the president with a golf club and a gold-framed copy of the birth certificate of Trump’s paternal grandfather, who grew up in western Germany before emigrating to the US. The US is co-hosting the quadrennial soccer tournament with Mexico and Canada, whose prime minister, Mark Carney, was also present at the meeting. During the G7, President Trump was also given a bike by French President Emmanuel Macron. Fortune has more on that: The day brought a few instances of gift-giving diplomacy. Macron gave all seven of his counterparts personalized bicycles to promote the Cycling World Championships scheduled next year in the French Alps, according to David Lappartient, president of the Union Cycliste Internationale, on social media. There was no hot mic moment to detect the reaction of Trump, who is not known to bike and has joked about doing minimal exercise beyond regular golf outings. Merz, who recently sparred with Trump over the war in Iran, presented Trump with a German national team soccer jersey bearing Trump’s name and the number 47. Trump raised it and smiled for a photo before setting it aside. Merz posted a photo of the exchange on social media and offered a pointed message: “After all, we’re on the same team.” Fox News provided further coverage on the late birthday gifts that President Trump received today: LMAO! DOOCY: "Even though Donald Trump is not the host [of the G7 summit], he is just a guest, he is being SHOWERED with gifts!"

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a challenge to a New York law that allows lawsuits against firearms manufacturers for alleged harm caused by the “criminal or unlawful misuse” of their products. The legislation, signed into law by former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2021, allows for various legal claims against firearm makers, wholesalers, and dealers, including alleged conduct that endangers the public health of New Yorkers. Second Amendment groups criticized the high court for declining to hear the challenge. “This is a troubling move because it could expose lawful businesses to lawsuits for crimes committed by criminals,” the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) stated. Criminals Should Pay for Crimes, Not Gun Makers The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to a New York law that allows lawsuits against firearm manufacturers, distributors, and dealers. This is a troubling move because it could expose lawful businesses to lawsuits… pic.twitter.com/CaUuNoHsFt — USCCA (@USCCA) June 16, 2026 The Hill shared further: The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) attempted to appeal a lower court ruling alongside Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Beretta, Glock, Sig Sauer and Sturm, who joined the appeal to argue that the New York law signed in 2021 renders the 2005 federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act meaningless. The 2005 law grants manufacturers, distributors and dealers of firearms and ammunition broad immunity from most civil liability lawsuits. It prevents the gun industry from being sued for damages resulting from the criminal or unlawful misuse of their products by third parties. “NSSF sincerely believes that those criminals ​who illegally misuse lawful products should be held responsible for the harms they ‌cause when they commit their crimes,” ‌Mark Oliva, a spokesperson for the industry group wrote in an emailed statement to Reuters. “Holding the firearm industry responsible for the criminal misuse of a firearm is akin to holding and Ford Motor Company ‌responsible for damages from drunk-driving crimes,” Olivia added. Republican Reps. Claudia Tenney (N.Y.) and Nick Langworthy (N.Y.) filed a brief in support of the lawsuit, backing gun manufacturers. The Firearms Policy Coalition compared the law to allowing legal claims against Apple because someone used their keyboard to call you a derogatory name on social media. How about this… Let's hold Apple liable because someone used one of their keyboards to call you a bitch on Twitter. https://t.co/112BOA0VOt — Firearms Policy Coalition (@gunpolicy) June 16, 2026 “The gun lobby fought tooth and nail against the toughest gun laws in the nation, but even the Supreme Court saw they had no merit. If you refuse to take basic steps to keep your guns from being used illegally, New York will make sure you pay,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul commented.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, urged the court not to take up the case, saying in court papers that the federal law “allows gun industry members to be held liable for the downstream acts of third parties in some circumstances.” The post Supreme Court Rejects Challenge To Controversial Gun Law In Blue State appeared first on 100PercentFedUp.com.

When it comes to running a disastrous campaign for president, few have more experience than Hillary Clinton. That’s why it’s even more embarrassing for Joe Biden that the latest criticism of his dead-on-arrival 2024 re-election bid came from the two-time White House loser. The Hill reported on Clinton’s recent remarks: “He made a terrible mistake. He made a terrible mistake for himself, his legacy, and for the country. He had said that he would not run again, and you know, counterfactual narratives are always a bit tricky, but I believe if he had kept to that plan and said in, say, the late summer of ‘23 that he wasn’t going to run, that he was going to pass, you know, the torch to the next generation, we would have had a real contest,” Clinton told The New Yorker’s David Remnick in a conversation. “And, very sadly, I believe whoever emerged from that contest, whether it was the vice president or a governor or a senator or anybody else, would have beaten Donald Trump. So, I think it was a terrible miscalculation on the part of President Biden,” she added. Clinton is the latest to weigh in on whether Biden should’ve run for reelection.  In her memoir release last fall, former Vice President Kamala Harris called the decision an act of “recklessness.” Harris, of course, would also know a thing or two about how to run a losing presidential campaign. Clinton’s remarks drew more than a few snarky social media reactions: And your language that you use against the Republicans during the 2016 election, what’s the ugly road that was created by you and it has been in place ever since the word the language is the way you treated Republicans is what’s on display now you created a historical ugliness — Chris Bender (@ChrisBende37719) June 16, 2026 She’s an expert on terrible mistakes — SM (@Scottymcmahon22) June 16, 2026 For those in the back:“We should’ve coup him earlier” — Ron (@Spacedogonmoon) June 16, 2026 Here’s some additional coverage of Clinton’s remarks, per KATV: She argued in an interview with New Yorker editor David Remnick that Democrats could have defeated President Donald Trump if Biden had stepped aside and passed the torch to the next generation. “We would have had a real contest,” Clinton said. “And very sadly I believe whoever emerged from that contest, whether it was the vice president or a governor or a senator or anybody else, would have beaten Donald Trump,” she continued. “So I think it was a terrible miscalculation on the part of President Biden.” And here’s a longer clip: What are your thoughts?

And one can get you gold for no money out of pocket! How do you like that? BOOM! First, you may recognize Andy Schectman from Miles Franklin. He’s prolific on YouTube and just a brilliant guy, I’ve followed him for years. I’ve partnered up with Andy’s company, Miles Franklin, and I’m really excited to show you what they can do! In fact, Andy’s going to be coming on my show, the Daily Truth Report (follow us on YouTube and Rumble) in the future, and you’re going to want to make sure you don’t miss those. Andy is a wealth of knowledge about the precious metals markets and crypto, and I’ve covered him here many times in the past. Now I’ll get to chat with him myself, and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m spoken directly with Andy and his team and they have assured me they will take very good care of anyone in the WLT Report family (that’s you!). At Miles Franklin, everyone gets personal attention from their team of brokers and you’ll get whatever level of hand-holding you prefer.  They’ll also customize a deal just for you, but you have to call them and tell them NOAH sent you!  They’ll handle it from there.  1-952-929-7006 There is no minimum order size and no maximum limit. I think you’ll love working with them, I already do! You can reach them at 1-952-929-7006 and make sure you let them know that Noah sent you over, they’ve promised me the best of the best service and pricing for everyone in the WLT Report family.  Second option is a company I’ve talked about many times before, it’s Genesis Gold. I’ve worked with Genesis Gold for three years now, and they are excellent at what they do. Genesis Gold is for people who want to purchase real physical gold or silver in their IRAs (Investment Retirement Accounts). You know what the beauty of that is? Two huge benefits actually… One is that it’s TAX FREE baby! I’m not a tax advisor, but that’s a general oversimplification. Never pay more taxes than you are legally required to pay. And that’s why I love getting gold and silver in my IRA (and why I hold a large chunk in an IRA myself!). The other is if you simply shift money out of stocks (like Peter Schiff recommends) and into Gold, it won’t cost you anything!  No money out of pocket!   BOOM! There’s so much to love about Genesis Gold, starting with the fact they are proudly and un-ashamedly Christina! They call it “Faith-Driven Stewardship” and they put it right on the homepage of their website along with a quote from Ezekiel: Wealth Preservation With Gold & Silver – The Genesis Gold IRA By your wisdom and your understanding you have made wealth for yourself, and have gathered Gold and Silver into your treasuries – EZEKIEL 28:4 Genesis Gold Group believes the Bible gives clues on how man-made currencies (paper money) represent instability, and a lack of virtue and encourages living wastefully in excess. Conflicts have beleaguered us since the dawn of civilization, and they can all be encapsulated into one battle. The battle is between currency, man-made paper, and gold and silver — the two precious metals found in our Earth’s crust, sent to us by our Lord to use as money. Man-made currency always leads nations down the path to increased war, greed, and ultimate collapse. History has shown that abandoning gold and silver has always been a bad idea. Gold and Silver enforce discipline, nurture self-constraint, self-reliance, and balance, and lead to confidence, a restrained government, and a more stable foreign policy. Genesis Gold Group believes in empowering faith-driven stewardship with Gold & Silver are an integral part of a balanced portfolio. Protecting your finances with precious metals has never been more crucial during these trying times. With a combined 50-plus years in the precious metals industry, let your Genesis gold and silver experts guide you through the simplicity of asset protection and growth with our Genesis Gold IRA. Sincerely, Genesis Gold Group Empowering Faith-Driven Stewardship Oh….and they’re VERY good at what they do. You also get physical gold and silver with Genesis, believe it or not!  The gold and silver is purchased for you (in whatever combination of coins and bars you prefer, a picture taken and sent to you, and then stored safely in a vault for you! I love what these guys are doing. Here’s more on why gold and silver in your IRA are so powerful: You can contact Genesis Gold here. They are also very backed up with record demand, so you may have to wait a bit, but someone WILL get in touch with you for personal customer service and assistance! Tell ’em Noah sent ya! Oh, and did you know Genesis is recommended by SUPERMAN himself? It’s true. Superman himself, Clark Kent — Dean Cain — came on my show a few weeks ago and we broke it all down: Watch here: Stay safe!
