The cuts to Medicaid have Democrats scrambling for ways to fight back and keep draining the American people of their tax dollars, but Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. isn’t letting them get away with it. “I don’t know if you understand this, or whether you’re just mouthing the Democratic talking points. The cuts to Medicaid are for fraud, waste, and abuse. And I'll tell you what that means,” RFK Jr. said to Representative Josh Harder (D-Calif.) in a congressional hearing. “Because of DOGE, we were able to determine that there are a million people who are claiming Medicaid from multiple states. That’s illegal. It’s a theft. You’re not allowed to do that,” he continued, “these are the only cuts that are being made to Medicaid.” “And guess what Gavin Newsom did? This morning, he said we’re going to take all the illegal aliens off the California Medicaid rolls because the feds aren’t spying for them anymore,” he added. “This is RFK arguing with Democrats about Medicaid, fraud, abuse, and he’s saying ‘We’re just taking people off that are illegally using Medicaid,’” BlazeTV host Glenn Beck explains on “The Glenn Beck Program.” “Who is against this, honestly?” Glenn asks. “Now, Gavin Newsom is putting everybody on California aid. Excuse me, California, how are you going to afford that? Every taxpayer left, right, and center, every taxpayer in California should be raising holy hell.” “How are you going to pay for that?” he continues, adding, “Your state is going to collapse economically.” However, Glenn is convinced this isn’t a mistake. “That’s part of the plan,” Glenn says. “Overwhelm and collapse the system, and they’ve already done it. They did it in New York City back in the '70s, and New York City collapsed. Now, they’re doing it to states, and it’s going to happen the same way. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to send my taxpayer dollars to California.” “You come to the United States of America, and you ask us to bail you out, and anybody in Congress that is from my state, I will make it my mission to put you out on the street, I will make it my mission if you vote to bail out California,” he warns.

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina filed a motion to expel a Democrat from Congress over charges related to the assault of a federal official in New Jersey. Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver of New Jersey was charged with assaulting, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement after she and other Democrats interrupted operations at a detention center in Newark. 'The evidence is clear. The charges are serious. And the public deserves to know that criminal conduct in the halls of Congress has consequences.' McIver has defended her actions by saying she and the other members of Congress were merely trying to fulfill their oversight authority at the Delaney Hall center on May 9. “Members of Congress swear an oath to uphold the Constitution and the laws of this country — not to obstruct them,” said Mace in a statement. “This isn’t a matter of partisan politics. It’s about whether we’re going to hold members of Congress to the same legal standards as every other American,” she added.“In a time when public trust in government is at a historic low, the House must act decisively,” Mace continued. “The evidence is clear. The charges are serious. And the public deserves to know that criminal conduct in the halls of Congress has consequences." McIver responded with a brief statement. “In the South, I think they say ‘bless her heart,'” she wrote.

"After extensive consideration, we have agreed to dismiss Mayor Baraka's misdemeanor charge of trespass for the sake of moving forward. In the spirit of public interest, I have invited the mayor to tour Delaney Hall," wrote Bondi on Monday. "The government has nothing to hide at this facility, and I will personally accompany the mayor so he can see that firsthand," she added. "The citizens of New Jersey deserve unified leadership so we can get to work to keep our state safe." Like Blaze News?

A man was arrested after a string of violent cat deaths were reported by pet owners in Orange County, California. 46-year-old Alejandro Oliveros Acosta was accused of killing or injuring numerous cats since November in the Santa Ana area, according to police. He was found to be in possession of methamphetamine at the time of his arrest, according to police. The Santa Ana Police Department first acknowledged the reports in a social media post in April, which referred to residents being "deeply concerned" about "multiple incidents of cats being killed" in the community. KTLA-TV compiled several reports from viewers about the incidents. “We saw our cameras, and this guy just grabbed a neighborhood cat, seemed like he tied his legs up and took him around 5pm. He went walking on Shelton street towards McFadden. The cat is Black with light brown spots,” read a post on the Nextdoor app. “Hello! I’m near El Savador park and my neighbor’s cat was killed by a man that injected it with some sort of substance," read another post. A suspect was captured on surveillance video luring a Bengal Lynx cat with cat food, but the pet was returned to its family after the video was released publicly. Weeks later, a man called Santa Ana Animal Control to report that he had seen his neighbor pick up a cat over his head and slam it to the ground.

Police identified a suspect as Oliveros Acosta, and he was arrested in April. He was found to be in possession of methamphetamine at the time of his arrest, according to police. Community outrage over the case led to a vigil outside the suspect's home, where people were reportedly injured after some started throwing objects and vandalizing property. Oliveros Acosta was charged with two felonies, animal cruelty and theft of a companion animal, as well as misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance. Prosecutors asked for bail to be increased to $100,000 from the statutory $20,000 for Acosta based on their opinion that he posed a danger to the community.

Delaware Governor Matt Meyer, a Democrat, stated that he was "proud" to legalize physician-assisted suicide for terminally ill patients. Meyer signed House Bill 140 into law on Tuesday, amending Delaware's code concerning end-of-life options and making it the 11th state in the nation to legalize assisted suicide in certain situations. 'It turns the tools of healing into lethal weapons.' The bill, sponsored by state Rep. Eric Morrison (D), permits mentally capable adults diagnosed with a terminal illness to opt for physician-assisted suicide if they are given only six months or less to live. It requires that those considering the life-terminating option be presented with alternative options, such as comfort care, palliative care, hospice, and pain control. Additionally, the law first requires two waiting periods and a second medical opinion on the patient's prognosis. The bill reads, "This Act permits a terminally ill individual who is an adult resident of Delaware to request and self-administer medication to end the individual's life in a humane and dignified manner if both the individual's attending physician or attending advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) and a consulting physician or consulting APRN agree on the individual's diagnosis and prognosis and believe the individual has decision-making capacity, is making an informed decision, and is acting voluntarily."

FALLON/AFP via Getty Images Upon signing the bill into law on Tuesday, Meyer claimed it advanced "compassion." "We're acknowledging today that even in the last moments of life, compassion matters," he stated. "Every Delawarean should have the right to face their final chapter with peace, dignity, and control." "This signing today is about relieving suffering and giving families the comfort of knowing that their loved one was able to pass on their own terms, without unnecessary pain, and surrounded by the people they love most," Meyer said. "It gives people facing unimaginable suffering the ability to choose peace and comfort, surrounded by those they love. After years of debate, I am proud to sign HB 140 into law." Delaware lawmakers shot down the measure last year. California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, and Washington, D.C., have similar laws. Delaware's End-of-Life Options Act will go into effect next year. RELATED: England legalizes assisted suicide — former prime minister says government abuse will be prevented Photo by SIMON WOHLFAHRT/AFP via Getty Images Paul Dupont, the policy director at the American Principles Project, told Blaze News that Delaware's new law signals a "troubling trend." "Delaware becoming the 11th state to legalize physician-assisted suicide is a symptom of the troubling trend in our culture that continues to devalue life to the point of promoting death as a solution to suffering. It undermines the dignity of every person and creates an environment where the elderly, disabled, and marginalized feel their lives are burdens," Dupont said. He added, "Instead of allowing this 'death culture' to take over our country, states need to pass pro-life and pro-family legislation that affirms the worth of every individual to counter these harmful policies." Ryan T. Anderson with the Ethics and Public Policy Center argued that physician-assisted suicide "violates the fundamental principles of medical care." Anderson told Blaze News, "It turns the tools of healing into lethal weapons. And it threatens to fundamentally distort the doctor-patient relationship because it reduces patients' trust in doctors and doctors' undivided commitment to the life and health of their patients." "The 'option' of physician-assisted suicide provides perverse incentives for insurance providers — public and private," he continued. "It offers a quick way to cut costs in a world of increasingly scarce health care resources. And it's the weak and vulnerable and marginalized who will be most at risk in a culture in which assisted suicide is permitted." Like Blaze News?
