Just another Democrat huckster.
Question is, how much money-laundering did Tim and the Dems do in Minnesota with this money so they'd turn a blind eye.

Question is, how much money-laundering did Tim and the Dems do in Minnesota with this money so they'd turn a blind eye.
A group of over 400 Minnesota Department of Human Services employees has turned the spotlight on Governor Tim Walz, charging that his administration turned a blind eye to rampant fraud draining the state's coffers. In a blunt statement on X, the workers declared, "We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports."
They didn't stop there, adding that Walz is "100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota."
These aren't isolated gripes from disgruntled staff. The accusations come as federal prosecutors peel back layers of schemes that have siphoned more than $1 billion from programs meant to feed kids, house the homeless, and support families with autistic children. At the heart of it: fake companies set up by individuals in the state's Somali community, billing for services that never happened.
The flagship case, Feeding Our Future, alone involved $250 million in federal child nutrition funds funneled through sham nonprofits during the pandemic. Last week, prosecutors charged the 78th defendant in that mess, with over 50 already convicted.
But the rot goes deeper. Housing Stabilization Services, a program that ballooned from a $2.6 million budget to $104 million last year—and is on track to top $120 million in 2025—became a magnet for ghost billing. Six of the eight federally charged suspects so far hail from the Somali community, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Then there's the autism therapy fraud: Providers exploded from 41 to 328 in recent years, many targeting Somali families in Minneapolis by falsely diagnosing kids to unlock Medicaid dollars. One case netted $14 million in bogus claims.
What makes this more than just theft? Reports from federal counterterrorism sources point to stolen funds wiring back to Somalia via informal hawala networks—clan-based money transfers that skirt banks. And some of that cash, investigators say, landed with Al-Shabaab, the al-Qaeda affiliate terrorizing East Africa.
“The largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer,” one source told City Journal bluntly. No terrorism charges have stuck yet, but the web of 28 fraud scandals since Walz took office in 2019 raises questions about how much state oversight was willfully absent.
