Fox News: Blue state governor's 'gross mismanagement' cost taxpayers $1.6B for illegal immigrant healthcare: audit
A recent audit revealed that Illinois taxpayers have spent $1.6 billion on healthcare programs for illegal immigrants since 2020, significantly exceeding budget estimates. The report indicated mismanagement, with many enrollees incorrectly classified, leading to lost federal reimbursement opportunities.
Governor JB Pritzker has proposed cuts to these programs amid a budget shortfall, acknowledging the need for some form of universal health coverage. Critics, including state Senate Republican leader John Curran, argue that the state should not bear the cost of providing free healthcare to working-age individuals who should be contributing to the tax system.

GB News: Archaeology breakthrough ends decades of mystery as huge insight into prehistoric life uncovered
Archaeologists at White Sands National Park in New Mexico have uncovered the earliest evidence of prehistoric handcarts, dating back 22,000 years.
