Summary
AG Pam Bondi raced to twitter last night to take credit for the Minneapolis Somali bust. There's one problem, she had nothing to do with it. It was all thanks to a 23-year old citizen journalist named Nick Shirley who did an hour long expose. It turns out now, it's more than just Minneapolis that has the Somali fraud -- yet another citizen journalist uncovered more fraud in a whole new city. And on the foreign policy side, Ukraine's Zelensky is reportedly pressuring Trump to send troops to Ukraine. Wow!
