It's March 30, I'm Cory with the story. This is U.S. News Today, driven by AI in Built For America. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins just dropped a bombshow, saying her team uncovered billions of dollars in fraud in the supplemental. Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP. She gives major props to the Department of Government Efficiency team, including Elon Musk for spotting it all and says none of this happens without. They dug up wild stuff like 500,000 people, double dipping on benefits, and nearly 200,000 dead folks still cashing in. Even flagged bizarre grants, like one for studying menstrual cycles and transgendermice. Rollins called it straight up crazy and credited that dog squad for the heavy lifting. Right off the gate, she fired off a letter to all 50 governors declaring the fraud era over and stressing we owe taxpayers better. The blue states like California, New York, and Minnesota are stone-walling cooperation,

leaving everyone wondering how deep the mess runs there. Since she took over, 3.3 million people got cut from snaperals, and 1.018 the ledge scammers are in cuffs, her team pivoted the dog crew to rebuild the whole program from scratch. Expect more shocks when they crack those holdout states, sounds like the real fraud iceberg is just starting to melt.
