It's not fraud if it's legal spending. It could be wasteful. Or distasteful. But just because you don't like something doesn't make it fraud. There's a legal definition to this. Consult a lawyer.
It's dumb / woke spending.

That's an allowable way of looking at it.

Never. Why is that?
Look, we all want DOGE to find fraud abuse etc. It hasn't been found yet, or at least they haven't told us about it yet. You might disagree with some spending, but that's not fraud.

Lies? It isn't just Fox News, the Washington Examiner and the NY Post reporting this BUT also CNN, MSN and Newsweek.
When ever you don't like something you always resort to "lies." Try to be a bit more honest with your posts. People will respect you here more.

lies, sally. At best half truth. Not fema money, not fraudulent, approved and directed by congress, not luxury hotels. You really really have to stop immediately believing any story that has musk or trump as a source. If it has the words 'says musk' or 'says trump' you need to raise an eyebrow and wait for journalists to sort it out. Trump and musk know Republicans are gullible and use that weakness to gather power.
In reality, Congress allocated $650 million to the shelter program through the Customs and Border Protection budget for the 2024 fiscal year. Payments issued by the program are administered by FEMA, but are separate from the billions of dollars the agency spends on disaster relief.
The shelter program has been used by Democratic cities like Denver and Chicago, but also by groups in Republican-led states, including Texas and Arizona.
New York City officials said that Congress appropriated $237 million to the city last year to help reimburse it for a small portion of the more than $7 billion the city and state have spent to shelter, feed and provide other services to migrants.
The city applied for the funds in April 2024 and FEMA began allocating them later in the year, city officials said. The $59 million Mr. Musk referred to in his post, city officials said, appeared to be a payment from FEMA that the city received last week as part of that allocation. About $19 million was spent on hotels, while the rest was used to pay for food, security and congregate shelters, city officials said.
“We have continued to receive previously allocated reimbursements through the past week,” Ms. Garcia, the City Hall spokeswoman, said in a statement. “We will discuss this matter directly with federal officials.”
New York City is currently sheltering 46,000 migrants, largely families with children, in converted warehouses, tent facilities and dozens of hotels, including old hotels in Midtown Manhattan and budget motels in other boroughs. City officials stressed that they do not pay “luxury-hotel rates.”44 -
Who could have possibly foreseen that Trump would have no problem freeing a convicted Russian mob crypto money launderer?
This one is way, way out of character for Trump.

Lol this actually quite stupid. The media can absolutely be part of a movement that criticizes the government. That’s like one of their basic functions. That’s literally why we have a free press.
also framing it as” the media” is dishonest as well. Media is not some singular entity that behaves the same. There’s a right wing media there’s left-wing media..

l am not sure they CAN do better. Kamala Harris was the most radical left senator and she was their candidate for the presidency. Tim Walz is about as loony as they come and he was their VP pick. It is a lost party and they are only going deeper and deeper into the woods. If they had selected a more moderate Dem for their candidate they probably would have won. But their party has gone so far radically left that moderates are ostracized by the party.

the articles are one source stories - all from trump or musk. That's the point. not researched by journalists. The stories are telling only what trumpmusk say, not what is actually true.
i posted a story in the nYT that sent an actual journalist to check on musktrumps claim and of course it turns out to be half true or just plain false.
do not trust stories that are about what trumpmusk 'says.' trump has no idea what is real or not, and musk himself says he will get a lot wrong.
