Michigan Spent More Than $13.8 Million on Transgender Care in Four Years – And One County Blew Everyone Else Away
LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – New Medicaid reimbursement data obtained through a Michigan News Source Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request shows that taxpayers have funded more than $13.8 million in gender-affirming services in Michigan since 2021 – a spending trend that has grown steadily each year despite mounting national debate on the issue.
Behavioral health services make up the bulk of the claims, while gender-affirming surgeries – 335 in 2021, 511 in 2022, 700 in 2023, and 726 in 2024 – remain the least common but the most expensive.
Behavioral health is a broad label that covers therapy sessions, counseling, psychiatric care, and the mental-health evaluations required before starting hormones or undergoing surgery. It can also include crisis-intervention visits and care-coordination services. Click here to read more.
Flagler County Sheriff: Roblox used in child solicitation case, suspect arrested
BUNNELL, Fla.- A California man was arrested after attempting to solicit a child he met on the gaming platform Roblox following a more than two-year investigation by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.
The investigation began in 2023 when a Palm Coast parent reported that his child was having inappropriate and sexually explicit conversations with a man on Roblox. Deputies learned the child initially communicated with the suspect on Roblox, later moving to Discord, and eventually to text messages.
“Fortunately, this parent acted as the sheriff in their home by reviewing their child’s messages and contacting law enforcement immediately after discovering a stranger was attempting to take advantage of their child,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. Click here to read more.
Trump Administration Has Found 62,000 Children, Some Victims of Sex Trafficking and Forced Labor, Tom Homan Reports
he Trump administration has located 62,000 children who entered the U.S. unacompanied under the previous administration, according to border czar Tom Homan.
“Some of these children were in sex trafficking—we found them. Some were in forced labor, some were being mistreated—I can’t even discuss some of the mistreatment we found out about,” Homan said Sunday on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends Weekend.”
“President [Donald] Trump, again, proves why he’s the greatest president in my lifetime,” Homan added. “Over 62,000 children rescued by President Trump, again, children that were ignored and weren’t being looked for under President [Joe] Biden.”
Under the Biden administration, hundreds of thousands of illegal alien minors arrived at the southern border alone and were released into the care of sponsors, but the Biden administration did not track the location or status of each child after placement. Click here to read more.

Millions of defective air bags have been recalled—but they’re still not fixed
Brayan Garcia was driving along a highway in his red Toyota Corolla when he slammed into the back of a Ram pickup truck that was stopping at an intersection in West Texas.
Garcia, 22, died at the scene of the early morning crash. His Corolla sustained heavy damage, its hood ripped off entirely. Debris was scattered across several lanes. But despite hitting the truck head-on, the Corolla’s air bags never went off.
Toyota had recalled Garcia’s car in 2020 over a dangerous defect that could stop its air bags from deploying. But Garcia’s vehicle hadn’t gotten the fix, like millions of others currently on the road. Click here to read more.
