Trump’s health secretary says AI used to identify potential fraud in Democratic-run states

Melody Schreiber at The Guardian:

The Trump administration has paused more than $1bn in Medicaid funding to California and Minnesota, citing “suspected fraud and noncompliance” – withholding of funding that follows a $243m pause in Medicaid payments to Minnesota earlier this year. “If those states want that money, they need to provide documentation that these payments are legitimate,” said Robert F Kennedy Jr, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), said at a press conference on Tuesday. Officials relied on AI to identify potential fraud, Kennedy said. “We used AI, advanced analytics, and other cutting-edge tools to identify suspicious activity and potential fraud.”

The pause includes more than $867m for California and about $200m for Minnesota. In California, most of the suspected fraud was in in-home services, he said. Kennedy has several times singled out in-home care provision, which can be a lifeline for disabled individuals – rhetoric that has worried families and angered lawmakers. Vice-President JD Vance threatened in March to withhold funding to states if they did not cooperate with a new fraud taskforce, headed by Vance and established by a White House executive order.

The RFK Jr.-issued pauses in $1BN worth of Medicaid funding to Minnesota and California in the name of “cracking down on fraud” are about punishing blue states.

Elon finally designed a vehicle and it's the worst one in history. True eyesore. Falls apart. No resale value.

The kicker? The scumbag uses our money as goverment contracts to buy thousands of trucks that never leave the lot so he can sell the carbon credits.

Watching 'Mountainhead'.

AI/Tech Bros have an obsession with "accelerationism"—the idea that tech founders should push rapid innovation and ignore the devastating consequences for society.

The 'escape to Mars' mindset is not about leaving a peaceful Earth, but a world on fire; the fires they are stoking.
