Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes
HOLY CRP James OKeefe just got an FBI Official who does investigations saying NO ONE WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE for the Minnesota fraud exposed
He says nobody will be arrested. Nobody will go to prison
He says its intentional. (INSANE)

Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ - I reached out to DHS to ask about this @KTLA report. I’m told Border Patrol did not target the church, they were targeting Carlos Chavez-Guzman, a Mexican illegal alien who was deported from the U.S. in 2016 & illegally re-entered (a federal felony). He ran when agents appointed, which caused a foot pursuit before he was arrested by agents.
DHS statement to @FoxNews
“U.S. Border Patrol did NOT target United Methodist Church or its parking lot in North Hills, California.
“On January 29, Border Patrol conducted an immigration enforcement operation in the area of Rayen Street and Sepulveda Boulevard that resulted in the arrest of Carlos Chavez-Guzman, an illegal alien from Mexico who was previously removed from this country in 2016. Chavez-Guzman chose to run from law enforcement, a federal crime, leading them on a foot chase before his arrest. This operation also resulted in the arrest of two other individuals from Mexico who have violated the immigration laws of our country. All three of these illegal aliens will remain in ICE custody pending removal.”

A San Fernando Valley community is outraged and devastated after federal immigration agents forced their way onto the grounds of a church during a food giveaway and arrested a man who church officials say helps with children’s ministries. Full Story:

BILLIONAIRE @Billions_001 - @WallStreetApes This story is heartbreaking and infuriating. Cole Schmidtknecht, just 22, died from a preventable asthma attack in January 2024 after OptumRx (UnitedHealth's PBM) dropped coverage on his Advair Diskus, spiking the price from ~$65–$70 to $539 overnight with no proper notice or alternatives offered at Walgreens.
-
His family filed a wrongful death/negligence lawsuit against OptumRx and Walgreens in January 2025 (on the one year anniversary). A federal judge denied OptumRx's motion to dismiss in mid-2025, so the case is moving forward though it might not reach trial until 2027.
-
PBMs like OptumRx control formularies, often prioritizing rebates/profits over patient needs, leading to these "step therapy" barriers and sudden denials. Stories like this happen far too often and highlight why real reform banning spread pricing, forcing transparency on rebates, and ending PBM gatekeeping is long overdue.
-
RIP Cole. His life mattered, and his death shouldn't be in vain. Healthcare shouldn't be a for profit death trap.

Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ - NEW: I asked @SpeakerJohnson if he’s confident he has the votes to pass a key procedural vote (rule) this morning that’s needed to end the partial government shutdown, and if he expects any GOP no votes?
Johnson: “I don’t. We're going to pass the rule today. It was never in doubt to me. The Republicans are going to do the responsible thing. I did talk to Hakeem Jeffries over the weekend, and he informed me that they would not be assisting in this endeavor. and I just think that's crazy.”
