Episode Details

A damning new report accuses Minnesota’s top Democrats of ignoring a fraud epidemic in social services for years, letting billions in taxpayer money vanish while they had the power to stop it. Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison are at the center of the scandal, with allegations they suppressed whistleblowers and delayed action—even possibly targeting employees who tried to expose wrongdoing. Over 100 people, mostly from the Somali community, have been charged. The report, titled “The Cost of Doing Nothing,” claims political concerns drove inaction, possibly explaining why Walz paused his re-election campaign. Both leaders blamed immigration officials for undermining prosecution efforts, but House Oversight is now demanding Vice President JD Vance’s task force investigate Minnesota’s programs—coming after the Trump administration froze federal funding. The fallout is just beginning.
