🧵This 2024 federal funding audit from the WA State Auditor exposes an astonishing failure of accountability with a clear and persistent pattern of unauditable payments to the Department of Children, Youth, and Families totaling nearly $416 million dollars.

The findings are significant and also highlight over $76 million in additional questioned costs.

🚩“For the fourth year in a row, we are questioning all child care payments from the Child Care and Development Fund at the [DCYF].”

🚩”[DCYF] did not ensure payments to providers were allowable and properly supported, and did not comply with federal reporting requirements.”

🚩”[DCYF] did not comply with requirements to ensure payments to child care providers were allowable.”

The report does note corrective actions to resolve these issues with a timeline to improve accountability. But here’s the bottom line…similar findings have been REPEATING every fiscal year for at least the past four years.

This is completely unacceptable.

Remember, these tax dollars belong to ALL Americans, not just Washingtonians. We all need to push for accountability and transparency on how our money is spent.

More details and sources linked below.Image
I’ve highlighted the key findings here in red. This is a complete failure of oversight. Image
Among the fourteen agencies with findings, DCYF was issued the most findings by far. Image

There are 539 childcare centers in Washington state that list Somali as the primary language. Most don’t even give a street address.

I don’t know how many of these are submitting fraudulent claims for state grants and subsidies, but I have a strong hunch the number is not zero.
The same search tool shows a total of 5046 childcare centers in WA state.

So over 10% of childcare centers in the state list Somali as the primary language. And most are concentrated in the Seattle/Tacoma/Western WA region.

Seems high. I’d say it’s fair to be skeptical.
…and I’m only scrolling through the A’s in my video 😳

Ok let’s clear this up. I was opposed to Trump’s Executive Order at first, but then I read the full text…

It does NOT criminalize burning the American flag. And it does NOT infringe on our freedom of speech.

It criminalizes flag burning *only* when it’s intended to incite violence or when it’s accompanied by other lawless action.Image
Look, I don’t think the order is necessary at all…but I also don’t think the actual wording is scandalous or fascist like so many people are implying.

It’s just an additional charge for the violent rabble-rousers who think they’re above the law.
Anyone who thinks I’m cheering this order on or praising Trump for this one really needs to read better. Goodness.

In 2016 I supported Bernie.

But today I walked 4 miles to vote for Trump.

I really haven’t changed much since those Bernie days. The left abandoned me. And now we desperately need a course-correction.

I voted to defend free speech, secure our borders, protect women’s sports, correct inflation, and prevent mandates.

If you hate me for how I voted…well that just reveals how little you really know me and how very limited your own empathy is.

Americans all across the country share these concerns. And if you do too, I hope you vote for Trump. 🇺🇸Image
If you’re wondering why I walked so far to the ballot dropbox…

This is no ordinary election. I wanted to feel this one and etch it into my memory. A long walk does that for me.

🔥Pfizer issued a press release Friday afternoon stating definitively that mRNA covid vaccines “show increased risks” of myocarditis + pericarditis.

Highest risk = adolescent males.

It’s INEXCUSABLE that 1000s of college kids are STILL forced to get a shot w/these known risks. Image

@ArneChristensen @NCM4Ever And it wasn’t just college age students that were coerced by these mandates. 👇
