PDB Afternoon Bulletin | December 2nd, 2025: Minnesota Taxpayers May Be Funding Somali Terrorists & Kyiv Targets Moscow’s Tankers Again
In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:
A major investigation out of Minnesota. New reporting from City Journal alleges that large-scale welfare-fraud networks may have funneled U.S. taxpayer dollars through Somali money-transfer systems — with some of those funds potentially reaching the terrorist group al-Shabaab.
And later in the show — an update on Kyiv’s growing pressure campaign against Russia’s so-called shadow fleet, as Ukraine claims a third strike in less than a week, this time on a Russian-flagged tanker off the Turkish coast.
