Is Our Diversities Learing?

Jay Swanson, a former state trooper who ran a fraud investigations unit within Minnesota’s Department of Human Services (DHS) from 2014 to 2018, delivered the bombshell testimony on Tuesday.

His revelations came on the same day that federal agents raided more than 20 businesses as part of the Trump administration’s crackdown on fraud in Minneapolis.

Swanson told the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee that the state ‘tried to cover up fraud allegations’ years before Governor Tim Walz was accused of shutting the investigations down.. […]

He said when his team reported this finding, they were ‘harassed and bullied’ by officials.

‘I soon had a senior DHS official in my office, angry, red-faced, and almost yelling. The senior DHS official told me to delete a number of paragraphs of the document. I then advised this official that I believed what they were telling me to do was illegal,’ Swanson testified.

‘I can’t tell you how shocked we were to come to the Department of Human Services and learn after a few years that not only was the theft of untold millions of dollars tolerated, but those who tried to stop it would be subjected to the wrath of high-ranking department officials.’

Barely avoiding a $500 fine, Immigration minister says she’s accountable: “I’m not going as far as offering my resignation by answering, but I want to make clear, Mr. Chair, I’m accountable.”

Slight of word: Does @MarkJCarney even know what IRGC stands for — Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps? He first called it the “Iranian Revolutionary Guard,” then dropped “Islamic” altogether and just mumbled “revolutionary guard,” as if he’s deliberately avoiding the name.

CBC reports he received “documents”, then buries which documents in paragraph 11.

However, Iran International, the agency that first broke the story, reported that sources within the Canadian government said Taj had been issued a temporary resident permit, a discretionary document that allows a foreign national who is otherwise inadmissible to enter or remain in Canada.

Stephen Taylor: How Brookfield lobbies Ottawa without Brookfield

The parent is quiet because the screen makes its silence necessary. The work happens at the subsidiary level, where the lobbying registry does not automatically link a company like “Westinghouse Electric Canada LLC” or “Brookfield BRP Canada Corp. DBA Evolugen” back to the Brookfield parent. A member of the public searching the registry for “Brookfield” would find an active but dormant consultant registration and nothing else. You have to know the corporate structure to find the activity.

Judging by the headline, you’d think that the United States was the only country facing this problem. It would be difficult, in fact, to find a nation that isn’t looking down the barrel of the same gun. Aside from Milei in Argentina, it would be just as difficult to find a government willing to turn down the spending taps in any meaningful way.

As of Tuesday, government debt held by the public is about $31.27 trillion, according to the US Treasury. Meanwhile, the US nominal gross domestic product (GDP) from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, was an estimated $31.22 trillion, according to new Commerce Department data released Thursday.

A female ex-Mayor was today jailed for three years for helping her son hide incriminating evidence after he raped an unconscious 15-year-old girl.

Former Labour Mayor Naheed Ejaz, 61, was slammed by a judge for trying to cover up her son’s crime after he raped the teenager while she was blacked out.

Ejaz refused to let police officers into her home for over a minute and a half and spoke Urdu to her son, Diwan Khan, so he could hide his phone which contained damning evidence.

Jailing the former Mayor of Bracknell in Berkshire, a judge told Ejaz that she ‘chose to protect’ her 41-year-old son despite knowing that his crime involved an ‘underage girl’.

The Adopt-A-Journalist pilot program was a resounding success. Now, it’s time to buy the rest of them off.

The government is doubling down on its support for the Canadian news sector by proposing to massively expand the Labour Journalism Tax Credit to include television and radio news. The announcement in yesterday’s Spring Economic Update didn’t garner much attention, but it will mean tens of millions of dollars for Bell, Rogers, Corus and other broadcasters. The tax credit is the most important support for those who meet the standard of being a Qualified Canadian Journalism Organization (QCJO) as it provides a 35 percent refundable tax credit up to $29,750 per employee. The government paid out roughly $71 million for just over 3,000 journalists in 2024, but that would likely double if coverage extends to television and radio news.

According to reporting from Reuters, on March 30, 2026, General Motors’ Detroit-based electric vehicle plant Factory Zero announced an extension of its production halt until April 13, with the plant manager citing aligning with “market dynamics” and initiating temporary layoffs for approximately 1,300 workers. Furthermore, in December 2025, Ford Motor Company announced a USD 19.5 billion capital impairment charge related to its electric vehicle operations and cut roughly 1,600 jobs at its BlueOval SK battery plant in Kentucky. Ford simultaneously announced it would cease production of the all-electric F-150 Lightning and abandon its production plans for the next-generation T3 electric pickup and electric vans. Media reports also indicate that Magna’s factory in St. Clair, Michigan, a supplier of EV components to General Motors, now sits nearly vacant; as the automotive industry recalibrates its electric vehicle investments, the plant has suffered a significant blow and is essentially in a state of shutdown or large-scale dormancy.

What once was heralded as the “hope for revival” of the American automotive industry is now facing a rapid decline.
