BREAKING — Independent journalist Nick Shirley’s video exposing over $170 million in alleged fraud in California has received 7.7 million views. California Democrats have advanced AB 2624, a bill authored by Assemblywoman Mia Bonta that would allow certain filmed organizations to demand removal of such videos online. Non-compliance could result in fines up to $10,000 per violation and potential jail time. Notably, Bonta’s husband is California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who just announced a $267 million Medi-Cal hospice fraud bust four days before the bill advanced. Transparency in how taxpayer dollars are spent shouldn’t be this difficult.
