CNN has debunked the daycare fraud allegations

Hi, please add the new info that CNN has debunked the right-wing conspiracy theory about the daycare fraud. They called multiple daycares, one even responded and confirmed via phone that they're a legitimate business

Oppose: The interview you cited focused on interviewing Nick Shirley, and not on investigating the fraud allegations. Furthermore, in the same interview CNN asserts that indictments regarding this particular alleged fraud scheme have already been issued under the Biden administration, and that further investigations are still ongoing. The second segment of the interview featured casual discussion between experts on the subject matter, but again, there wasn't any definite conclusion for either stance in said segment. Which part of the interview are you pointing to precisely to assert the allegations were disproved? --- LatekVon (talk) 15:07, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

CNN clearly said that a daycare center confirmed on phone that they weren't doing any fraud. but the MAGAts still believe there is fraud ~2025-35113-26 (talk) 16:03, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Conveying what the accused party said is informative, not authoritative. Lack of CNN's judgment at this point in time is further reinforced by the following statement by the CNN: "A lot of folks in the media, including [...] CNN which is looking to verify this video, are showing pause and trepidation around Shirley's reporting, it's just that [sic] making sure that its verified that it's showing fraud." (same rapport, timestamp 5:56) --- LatekVon (talk) 18:11, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

CNN, CBS have not debunked any of the Nick Shirley facts. Because they focused only on the actions of the centers after he showed up. The daycare centers called co conspirators to show up after Nick Shirley eas there is not actual evidence of any value. ~2026-39051 (talk) 22:13, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Pardoning Laos national convicted of child sex crimes

Can we get an edit for this anytime soon? ~2026-40635-77 (talk) 18:00, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

It’s sad to see that my discussion is being ignored. Especially when the other discussions on this page were all responded to the same day. ~2026-40635-77 (talk) 07:12, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

Your request is a bit too unspecific. Please detail the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source. Lectonar (talk) 10:19, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

In June 2026, the Minnesota Board of Pardons (Governor Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Natalie Hudson) granted a full pardon to Tou Lue Vang, who had been convicted in 2006 of first-degree criminal sexual conduct for repeatedly sexually abusing a girl beginning when she was 10 years old. The victim, by then an adult, submitted a letter supporting the pardon. Vang was facing imminent deportation; the pardon cleared the conviction that formed the basis of his removal order. He was later deported by federal authorities in July 2026.
