BREAKING: Hezbollah just accidentally exposed themselves to international media.

They posted a video claiming the IDF struck a civilian home in Lebanon. But they accidentally filmed the rocket launcher in the background.

Suddenly, the media isn’t reporting the story.

“Civil rights used to be about treating everyone the same. But today some people are so used to special treatment that equal treatment is considered to be discrimination.”

“Ours may become the first civilization destroyed, not by the power of our enemies, but by the ignorance of our teachers and the dangerous nonsense they are teaching our children. In an age of artificial intelligence, they are creating artificial stupidity.”

This isn't a Deloitte-specific problem. Government procurement systems give huge advantages to large companies with dedicated state and federal government business lines, because they are capable of compliance and alignment with complex procurement rules. Getting paid to deliver procurement rules compliance instead of results is an intrinsic part of the system.

🧾 TL;DR – Deloitte & Government IT Failures

💰 $74B wasted
→ ~$40B in contracts + ~$34B in direct losses

🏛️ Everywhere in gov IT
→ Medicaid, unemployment, child welfare, food assistance systems

💥 Repeated disasters
→ Massive fraud, wrongful benefit denials, systems collapsing, projects canceled after billions spent

📍 Examples

🇺🇸 California: $31B unemployment fraud (Deloitte-built system)

👶 Tennessee: 250k kids wrongly kicked off Medicaid

⚖️ CA Courts: $260M → $1.9B, then canceled

🔄 Still rehired
→ Even after failures and fines

🚪 Revolving door problem
→ Gov officials ↔ Deloitte jobs ↔ contracts approved

⚖️ Not illegal
→ That’s the core issue

🧠 Conclusion
→ Deloitte is “baked into” government systems
→ Structural capture, endless contracts, no accountability

Worth a watch.

@thehoffather One of the reasons we’ve not yet seen a massive dump of WA fraud data is because of a convoluted FOIA procedural maze the state constructed over the better part of a decade, anticipating our current timeline

.@NPR insinuates that Israel wants needy Gazans to suffer. It wasn’t an arbitrary decision: Israel wants to prevent Hamas from continuing to manipulate aid groups to further its war aims.

This is why headline framing matters.

[DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican]

Even putting aside the nonsensical implications that reporting cannot be correct unless your every single relative is an angel….

You do know that $20,000 sits in a narrow band as a universal settlement amount wherein a lawsuit can be clearly fake, but the costs to fight it would exceed the costs to settle?

If anything, if the case were clear-cut, the plaintiffs would have pursued the much higher judgment opportunity.

[Dustin Grage @GrageDustin]

“So you’re telling me the ‘Learing Center’ Google page said they were open 6AM–10PM…

Yes, Dave.

“Then after @nickshirleyy showed no kids there during the day, they changed it to 2PM–10PM…”

Mmhmm.

“And now we learn they’re ONLY licensed to operate until 6PM?”

Correct, Dave.

[DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican]

Congratulations, David. With 2025 finally over, and a full year spent ratioing strangers on X, I can now officially certify that, in the literal final hour, you managed to out-do every other victim in becoming the single lowest-hanging piece of fruit imaginable because you never bothered to look out your own window.

Next time your former employers (MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, Al Jeezera) write a story lamenting loss of public trust in the media, the rest of us will keep you in mind.

[DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican]

OMG. You’re actually a professional, seasoned journalist. You can’t even get a basic fact straight such as sunshine hours, which is an accomplishment in itself given you’d think you’d have SOME experience up north. Just. Wow. Do you even feel the slightest bit of shame at this, or are you just ignoring and moving onto the next talking point that you’re paid to say?

Not long after they passed the Social Security Act, they started acknowledging the truth about the program—which was the *opposite* of what they had said while Congress was debating it

“It’s your money”

“We’ll keep it safe for you”

They lied

And made Americans poorer

[Lance Gooden @Lancegooden]

CNN has over 3,000 employees.

NBC News has over 1,850 employees.

CBS News has over 2,200 employees.

Yet it took @nickshirleyy to do actual reporting and uncover the massive fraud scheme in Minnesota.
