7 Years of Medicaid Secrets Just Got Dumped on the Internet — Here's What Was Found
DOGE released 7 years of Medicaid data publicly; Trump signed a 10% global tariff EO after SCOTUS loss; Jack Smith's 165-page brief unsealed in Jan. 6 case; ACA tax credits passed the House with 17 Republicans.
HIGH ALERT
Multiple major simultaneous developments — a historic Medicaid data dump, a new tariff executive order built on a 50-year-old law, a reactivated Jan. 6 case, and surprise bipartisan cracks in the House — make this one of the more consequential Sundays of the year so far.
Key Developments
Here's something that almost nobody was talking about yesterday — while the tariff drama was eating up all the oxygen.
**Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency just dumped seven years of Medicaid spending records onto the public internet.**
2018 through 2024. Every payment. Every provider. Searchable by anyone with a browser.
Think about that for a second.
The federal government spent roughly $900 billion on Medicaid in that seven-year window — and now you can look up exactly where it went.
Newsmax was first to report the release, and the reaction on X was immediate.
Musk had previously estimated — in his own words — that there could be **"a trillion dollars of fraud"** inside the federal government's spending programs.
That's not a rounding error. That's a number so large it's hard to picture.
Now, let's be clear: releasing data doesn't prove fraud. But it does let outside researchers, journalists, and ordinary Americans look for patterns the government may have missed — or may have chosen not to look for.
