> "Enough is enough! The Trump administration has uncovered massive fraud in Minnesota and Minneapolis -- billions siphoned off by fraudsters. Is that true? Seems like a lot of money to just suddenly notice.

It was recently boosted by a youtuber, but the reporting on it goes back to 2013. https://www.fox9.com/news/fox-9-investigating-fraud-uncovering-minnesota-2025 https://www.fox9.com/news/fox-9-investigating-fraud-uncoveri...

  Ok so they clearly don't actually care and let it continue through the entire first Trump administration, and are doing this to punish the resistance in Minnesota.

  Well, that’s pretty crazy. I saw the independent journalist video on daycares too after I posted. I mean… you can’t target a state but it does seem pretty bad and that payments should be limited until the fraud is sorted out.

    Every single daycare in that video was visited independently and found to have children in it. Furthermore, many Somali families are being persecuted by ICE right now, so if attendance is lower than usual there's a sick reason.

      > Every single daycare in that video was visited independently and found to have children in it. Is there a video for that? I couldn’t find anything. I did find articles of the FBI carrying boxes of documents out of MN commercial fronts. Is your supposition that there is no fraud? Or just no daycare fraud?

        My supposition is that Nick Shirley is dog whistling you and many others, and that the stakes are way too high to not push back. 140k peoples' SNAP benefits deserve to get cut arbitrarily because of a misleading viral video? That's a travesty waiting to happen. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/minnesota-department-finds-child-care-centers-targeted-viral-video-ope-rcna252013 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/minnesota-department-fi... https://19thnews.org/2026/01/child-care-fraud-minnesota-fact-check/ https://19thnews.org/2026/01/child-care-fraud-minnesota-fact...
