760,000 people are coming off Obamacare. Vice President JD Vance's White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud canceled about 315,000 Affordable Care Act enrollments covering 760,000 people, sent 419,000 more enrollments for extra verification, and put the taxpayer savings at $2.2 billion, per the Associated Press and CNBC. The task force says 40 insurance agents and brokers were behind 50,000 fraudulent accounts worth $45 million; 66 agents have been cut off, 469 more are on the list, and there is a six-month freeze on new brokers signing anyone up. Dr. Mehmet Oz, who runs Medicare and Medicaid, said it plainly at the announcement: "These are not real people. We're not paying insurance for non-existent ghosts." Somebody was getting paid per signup. Some of those signups were nobody at all. And the taxpayer funded every one of them. Chuck reads the numbers, as reported by Mediaite off The Wall Street Journal, the Washington Examiner and the AP.

Col. Theresa Long, M.D., a retired Army flight surgeon and now senior medical military adviser to Secretary Kennedy, tells a federal court in a sworn declaration that she has "first hand knowledge of over 29 deaths of servicemembers after vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccines" and is tasked with reviewing 55,000 military adverse-event reports, including 2,544 death reports, per The Epoch Times and the Daily Caller News Foundation, and Chuck says out loud that a report is not a finding; Maryland's chief medical examiner rules the death of a man found hanging in Upper Marlboro a suicide, police say video shows no one else was involved, and Prince George's County Executive Aisha Braveboy tells the internet "He's dead, and he took his own life" and "Don't ask for clickbait and use this tragedy to get followers or to get likes," per NBC4 Washington and WTOP; the two largest transgender advocacy organizations' own annual counts of violent deaths have fallen by roughly half since 2021 and 2023, with their own caveat that the counts are incomplete, per Breitbart News and The Boston Globe; and a Missouri social studies teacher breaks a window with a rock, crosses the broken glass barefoot, and carries his older neighbor out of a burning house in a bear hug, per KMOV.
