This development raises serious questions about the integrity of international diplomacy and the vetting processes for high-level UN positions.

Minnesota’s Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP), a taxpayer-funded initiative intended to subsidize daycare for low-income families, has once again come under intense scrutiny amid allegations of widespread fraud involving “ghost” centers—facilities that claim to serve dozens or hundreds of children but show no visible signs of activity. The latest chapter in this long-running saga exploded into the public eye on December 26, 2025, when independent journalist Nick Shirley re
