“The Justice Department and FBI are sending out contradictory messages: telling the American people that no more Epstein material will be released, while telling the federal court in our case that the Epstein FOIA review is proceeding,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “But no matter, our FOIA lawsuit for the Epstein material continues.

Fraud and corruption are so rampant within the nation’s mammoth food stamp program that the government is quietly investing millions of dollars in a special initiative aimed at cracking down on the waste that has long plagued it. In fiscal year 2024 nearly 42 million low-income households got food stamps at a cost of around $94 billion. A substantial chunk of approximately $10 billion annually is paid out fraudulently and without proper intervention the figure will only grow, according to a recent academic study. “Despite a 350 percent increase in spending on efforts to improve program integrity over the past decade, waste and fraud—particularly from benefit trafficking and eligibility misreporting—remain pervasive,” researchers found.
