Last Friday Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) began surging roughly 2,000 federal agents and officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s deportation branch and Homeland Security Investigations, the agency’s investigative arm tasked with fighting transnational crimes into Minnesota.
The investigative objective appears to be utilizing the massive and systemic fraud throughout Minnesota as an entry gate to expand the investigation into other states. The key takeaway is that Minnesota simply reflects the tip of the iceberg and multiple Democrat run states likely have the same or worse fraud ongoing.
The Dept of Health and Human Services (HHS) now follow up on the DHS surge with an announcement that $10 billion in Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) payments are being halted as the investigations expand. Four additional states are being reviewed: California, Colorado, Illinois and New York, join Minnesota in seeing their federal funds stopped pending review and audit.
This is a smart approach because releasing the funds will be contingent upon the states accepting the audits. We all know that genuine audits of those state records will likely reveal massive fraud within the subsidy system that has been abused by Democrats. Minnesota has provided the entry point for a much larger corruption and fraud review.
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is cutting off more than $10 billion in social services and child care funding meant for a handful of Democrat-led states over concerns that the benefits were fraudulently funneled to non-citizens, officials told The Post Monday.
The Department of Health and Human Services will freeze taxpayer funding from the Child Care Development Fund (CCDF), the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, and the Social Services Block Grant program.
At least $7.35 billion in TANF money will be prevented from going to California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York. The CCDF funding block of nearly $2.4 billion affects all those states.
Another $869 million from the Social Services Block Grant coffers is being kept from all five states as well.
The funding pauses were to be announced via letters to each state sent Monday, citing concerns that benefits were fraudulently going to non-US citizens.
The HHS Office of Inspector General found more than six years ago that New York City improperly billed the federal government for more than $24.7 million in child care subsidies. (read more)
Disgusting that Gov DeWine of Ohio said the fraud in day care was “the cost of doing business.”
President Trump needs to impound all funds everywhere to all Red and Blue States.
The Feds have zero business contributing to Child care and nutrition.
Bah Humbug!
Is it not strange that parents on Government Assistance need to send their children to child care? If they are home, not working outside the home, then why do the children need day care?
American taxpayers are sick of being robbed of their dollars for the 40+% that are unable to assume the responsibilities of being adults.
Less unable to work, than unwilling, since they have been getting away with grift for decades.
The feds should not be involved in any of these programs. If a state wants to do something like this, do it. Why send tax money to Washington just for them to dole it back out? The reason: strings attached. Our supposed representatives have sold us out. Unfortunately for the democrats and GOPe, there’s a new puppet master behind the strings.
“Now, Ohio attorney Mehek Cooke has come forward and revealed that her home state has its own Somali fraud problem.
“She told Breitbart News that not only do the Somalis run fake home health services, but they also bill people up to $250,000 per year.
“Providers, however, rubber-stamp the paperwork despite the obvious red flags, because the Somalis assure them that it will all be worthwhile. In other words, a kickback
“Cooke goes on to say that this fraud is occurring in other states, such as Pennsylvania”

It is a weird, weird thing about Democratic Socialists and plain old still-in-the-closet Communists and “patriotic millionaires” like Abigail Disney who take umbrage at people using their own property, their own earnings for stuff . . . and yet, NO concern about the American taxpayer money being plundered by thieves for Somalian learing centers and various other NGO’s across the fruited plain.
If Jeff Bezos has enough money to do that rocket stuff, I am good with that. Personally, I love Amazon because it provides excellent service.
Jeff Bezos spent his own money for the BlueOrigin rocket launch with his then-fiancee, Lauren Sanchez as well as Katy Perry and other gals in this all-women space team.
Wikipedia info re space team on Blue Origin NS-31:
Blue Origin NS-31 was a sub-orbital spaceflight operated by Blue Origin as part of New Shepard, the company’s space tourism program. The flight took place on April 14, 2025, and lasted 10 minutes and 21 seconds. The flight carried all female passengers and was organized by journalist Lauren Sánchez, the then-fiancée of Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos. She was joined by Aisha Bowe, Kerianne Flynn, Gayle King, Amanda Nguyen and Katy Perry.
“If Jeff Bezos has THAT much money left over to do THAT, he is making too much money.” Outrage was expressed, that Jeff Bezos was using his own money for that adventure in space for his fiancee. “Patriotic Millionaires” was really disturbed about the money Mr. Bezos spent on his wedding in Venice, as well.
I wonder if “Patriotic Millionaires” will seriously push to see to it that this plundering and thievery of American taxpayer money will be thoroughly investigated and prosecuted. When any rational person observes these billions of dollars being stolen and how much that same money would mean to honest, hard-working families, it seems that it should be an ultimate priority to resolve this.
The federal budget as well as state, county and city budgets are obviously getting too much money from taxpayers if the “budget keepers” can be so lackadaisical about the stewardship of that money.
“Easy come, easy go”?
Note: Patriotic Millionaires Group launches “Flood the Red Zone: Save America” campaign demanding “a working class tax cut paid for by millionaires” – go to their website patrioticmillionaires.org for more info and see if YOU can find any concern regarding billions of dollars of American taxpayer money being stolen!
I realized the first time when I was posting the above comment regarding Jeff Bezos and the reaction by “Patriotic Millionaires” to his Blue Origin space program as well as how much he spent on his wedding in Venice that my comment had at least two links. I think I managed to delete it and then I redid it without any links.
Blue Origin is like a ride at a State Fair for the elite citizens.
I don’t know all about the “Patriotic Millionaires” Club, but would have been better off as a culture if Bezos would have left Perry and King in space.
Closing the barn door after the horses are long gone! Why hasn’t the Pentagon passed an audit in 7+ years? Why is Medicare fraud allowed to continue – to the tune of 100 Billion dollars annually. This is “mouse potatoes” and unserious electioneering stuff.
This is HUGE just the California fraud is right up there with the medicare fraud. It’s not over yet take a win and smile have a great day!
Most of the medicare fraud is from California so that might open the door to that.
I read most every comment here tonight and did not know who to reply to. It really hurts me that I cannot offer any cogent thoughts to all of the HIGHWAY ROBBERY other than to say “Get me a Bucket” to p*ke in. That’s a line from a Monty Python movie. I think.
Isn’t it grand that so many are having an “Epiphany”?
Today is the day to bless your homes! Bless the homes you live in they may be safe be night and day.
Living in “interesting times” is not a curse. It’s a challenge to muster each and everyday.
Be careful out there among the English and guard your back doors. The BEST IS YET TO COME!
Sundance…Don’t understand our system of Inspector Generals…they are paid to find FWA but governors et al constantly ignore these expensive reports…where’s the accountability and what does Grassley have to do with it? Can you shed some light on this?
I haven’t heard Gavin Newsom say anything in protest. He has publicly opened up healthcare to illegal immigrants and there is no way to check who these people are, making it ripe for fraudsters.. And, we are missing billions of dollars, sort of like the Defense dept audits, in our budget.
Gavin and Walz can share a prison cell.
This slush money must be used to fill dem coffers and personal bank accounts. They choose their candidates for how much money they can steal, not raise. Then they count on voter fraud and dominion machines to win.
Tell CO Gov that CO can be first in line for this audit as soon as he releases Tina.
What about Ohio and Maine? Why do they get a pass?
WA too. Olympia is a den of corrupt thieves.
Why doesn’t Newsom ask Aunt Nanzi for some of her millions to help the poor, afflicted illegals in CA?
Oh, wait a minute… that’s right – democrats are only charitable with other people’s money. That is, after they skim off a generous cut for themselves.
Lord, please let the fraud and grift in IL come to light. We escaped in 2019. IL has the record for most governors imprisoned. Let’s add tub-o-lard JB to the mix. In Jesus name. Amen.
I feel like the Trump/Musk fallout was all a show to help distance DOGE from these findings. If DOGE released this, it would immediately be shut down by democrats and the media as a Trump revenge tour. I think Nick Shirley’s “David” was probably sent to Nick with the goods (unbeknownst to Nick). I just find it hard to believe that little ol 23 year old Mormon, Nick Shirley organically broke the biggest monetary scandal in modern American history.
I hope it brings down Walz, Ilhan Omar, Keith Ellison, Amy Klobuchar, and their twink Jacob Frey. After that, Cali, Illinois, and NY. Pretty please be part of a master plan and end in arrests FOR ONCE! I’ve been following politics for 20 years and never seen any real players held accountable.
If the blue states want the money then they need to persuade Walz to resign.
