House Republicans have launched a formal investigation into rampant hospice fraud in California, focusing on Southern California and Los Angeles County. The probe, led by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, comes after investigations by CBS News, independent journalist Nick Shirley and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz identified potentially billions in fraud earlier this month.
The CBS News analysis of Los Angeles County hospice records found that over 700 of nearly 1,800 hospices triggered multiple red flags for fraud as defined by a 2022 state audit. The red flags included excessive billing—$29,000 per patient on average in LA County, more than double the national average of $13,200—and suspicious patterns like multiple providers sharing the same address or staff.
Shirley described the hospice fraud in California as a “Billion dollar fraud crisis.”
The U.S. media instinctively trust Iran, instead of their own country’s president, Co-Host Jesse Watters said on Fox News Channel’s “The Five” on Monday.
Watters said he saw the reports earlier in the day after returning from “a news blackout”:
“And, I get back and I see that Trump’s announced he’s negotiating with the Iranians and the Iranians say, ‘No, we’re not.’”
“And, the U.S. media believes the Iranians. Just like that,” Watters said.
A Georgia woman is facing murder and drug charges after her born-alive baby died shortly after she used illegally obtained drugs in an attempt to end her pregnancy.
Corporate media want Americans to believe that the charges levied against Alexia Zantail Moore are unprecedented, unfair, and all about abortion, since Moore allegedly tried to abort her baby with mail-order misoprostol, a drug often used in combination with mifepristone to initiate chemical abortions.
CNN host Kasie Hunt asked Democratic Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen Monday whether he believes Iranian officials over President Donald Trump.
Trump said talks had started between the United States and Iran. Iran, however, denied any such negotiations have taken place. During a discussion on “The Arena,” Hunt asked Van Hollen whether he trusts Iranian officials over the president.
“So you believe the Iranian officials over the president of the United States?” Hunt asked.

Record-long security lines are snarling airports nationwide as the partial Department of Homeland Security shutdown drags into its sixth week, and President Trump says reinforcements are on the way.
With TSA short-staffed after a surge of callouts, the White House plans to deploy ICE agents to 14 airports to help keep lines moving and reduce bottlenecks, according to administration officials. The move comes as travelers report arriving hours early just to have a shot at making flights.
Virginia Democrats have pushed through a sweeping package of gun control legislation that represents a major rollback of Second Amendment protections for millions of law-abiding citizens.
In just 60 days, the Virginia General Assembly advanced more than a dozen anti-gun measures, including SB 749 and HB 217.
The two identical bills target commonly owned semi-automatic firearms.
The legislation now sits on the desk of Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA), who has already indicated she will sign the measures into law.
