BREAKING: reports that Minnesota House GOP leader Lisa Demuth acknowledged the Repubican Party’s involvement in viral daycare video, saying, “We worked with Nick Shirley on this.” That matters, because the video has been widely framed as independent citizen journalism. Minnesota officials have said fraud investigations were already underway long before the video, and inspections have not backed up many of the claims made about the specific daycare centers shown.
Still, the video fueled widespread outrage and targeted scrutiny of Somali-owned childcare providers. With a top Republican now on record confirming coordination, this reframes the entire narrative. This wasn’t just a lone YouTuber uncovering something new. A political party acknowledges involvement in producing or shaping media that went viral (not organically) and helped drive public backlash.
This is completely false. I have no idea who this lady is, she is lying to make herself look good for her campaign. Shame on her!
Lisa Demuth, GOP candidate for MN Governor, bragged that she used her position as Speaker to collaborate with a YouTube conspiracy theorist and spread disinformation that would help her campaign.
This is completely false I have no idea who she is and she doesn’t appear in the video I made. Shes clout chasing for whatever her political motive is.
Youth like Nick Shirley
TERRIFY the global elite
because they have NO method of controlling him.
They cant threaten his pay - he doesn't have an employer.
They cant editorialize him - he doesn't work for a media company.
And they cant control his broadcaster, X.
Imagine that
23 year old dude goes and investigates and boom 128M views
Its almost like US news corporations are fake and don't actually investigate
NICK SHIRLEY: "I don't drink alcohol, I don't do drugs, I'm a virgin, I don't have sex with random girls, I don't have addictions, I don't have vices, so what are they going to get me for? I believe in God. I'm religious. I'm everything that they hate."
NICK SHIRLEY: I WENT TO MINNESOTA FOR A VIDEO AND STUMBLED INTO A MASSIVE FRAUD SCHEME
Nick explained that his investigation didn’t start as a fraud exposé at all.
He said he originally traveled to Minnesota to document rapid demographic changes and cultural shifts, but once on the ground, locals kept pointing him toward something else.
What followed was months of digging, documents, and firsthand visits that raised serious questions about how public money is being spent.
“I’ve been looking into this fraud since last June.
I came to Minnesota to do a video on what was happening with the Somali population, how fast it was growing, how towns were changing, churches turning into mosques.
I thought it would be an interesting topic.
When I got there, people started telling me about fraud taking place.
I knew I couldn’t just label it fraud without proof. I needed evidence.
A guy named David, who’s in my YouTube video, had been investigating for years.
He works near some of these daycare centers and never saw a single child.
He looked into the funding and found they were receiving millions in tax exempt CCAP funding.
When I went to the first daycare, I was shocked.
The windows were blacked out.
You couldn’t open the door.
Everything was locked.
Some signs even said ‘leering’ instead of ‘learning.’
These places are opening daycares and healthcare clinics, claiming welfare services, and pulling in millions.
It’s massive welfare fraud.
And it’s bizarre that the state doesn’t seem to be checking any of it.”
Source: For decades, the structure of US society, by intent and design, was remade to redistribute wealth, resources, property and opportunity from Americans to non-Americans.
These looted assets were then used to finance the Democrat Party and all its subsidiary schemes and structures.
This is why Elon got angry at the administration. He saw how bad the fraud was and couldn’t understand why no one wanted to do anything about it. All of Congress needs to be turned over. Term limits for everyone.
Reading the Somalia fraud cases is eye-popping. Several of these parasites ended up with $50 million. Do you know how hard you have to work creating a smart business, and how much has to go right, over decades, to earn 50 million? Astronomical odds. They just took it.
Daycares in Minnesota donated a combined $35 million to political campaigns in the last two years
They didnt even try to hide the money trail.
While Minnesota has been combating fraud, the President has been letting fraudsters out of jail.
Trump’s using an issue he doesn’t give a damn about as an excuse to hurt working Minnesotans.
You have been “combating” fraud since 2019, allowing fraud for 6 years sounds like you have been “enabling” fraud. You obviously don’t give “damn”.
Start working for the people who pay taxes instead of allowing their dollars to end up in the hands of the Al-Shabaab
Parents across the US are absolutely FURIOUS with the amount of fraud being uncovered in Minneapolis.
This family is paying $38,000 PER YEAR for two kids to attend daycare.
TERRIFYING: The fraudsters have now placed BOUNTIES on Nick Shirley because he exposed fraud.
Elon Musk said it best: "One of the things I learned [was] - you know who complains the loudest? THE FRAUDSTERS."
Nick is over target.It’s this simple, folks: stop all illegal immigration. Deport all illegal aliens here now. Enact Voter ID laws.
That will solve every problem America has. We will reduce taxes, stop crime, fraud, Democrat DEI scams, inflation, homelessness, and the housing crisis.
This empty Somali-owned Minneapolis daycare rakes in $1.1M/year from the government.
The windows are blacked out, there are no kids inside, and in 2 years it’s pulled more than $2M, all while taxpayers foot the bill.
David Sacks: There's no one feeling more vindicated right now than Elon Musk.
: "Literally, some of the things that was saying back in February, has now proven are true.
[The fraud] is a huge part of why we have such a huge deficit, why we have so much government debt.
Some of that money that is stolen then goes to politicians who then either support the expansion of that system or turn a blind eye to what's going on.
And some of this is even connected, I think, to voter fraud. So you're talking about here: stolen money maybe leading to stolen elections."
DAVID SACKS: “The country is being eaten alive, it feels like, by fraud. Government funds are being stolen, votes are being stolen, I believe elections are being stolen. And it all comes from the fact that the party of government doesn't really care where the money goes.”
There are 1,794 day care centers in MN.
1,235 of these list a Somali sounding name as the owner for 111,015 children.
Total Somali pop 84,000
Pct on welfare 81%
If the parents are not working, why do they need child care?
Do non-Somali children go to Somali speaking centers?
I believe caught the entire left-wing machine completely off guard.
He rolled out this video and it immediately went viral.
It was followed by hours of left-wing media machine silence.
When they did start rolling out responses, their stories were scattered, contradictory, and far from the usual lock-step narratives we expect from the left. Waltz's PR team were obviously scrambling, as well.
"We already knew!"???? That was their best defense? Wow!
This blindsided them. It's very obvious that no one is at the reigns of this issue.
In the next 24 hours, you'll see them pull together into one narrative. That's when you'll know someone finally took control.
This should be your deep study into the left-wing legacy media machine and the Democrats who control it.
Washington State Democrats are getting ready to shut off the access to the daycare system online.
Soon people won't be able to see, for instance, that Dhagash Childcare got $210,000 in 2025 to take care of THREE kids.
That's nearly $6K per kid per month.
I want that job.

JUST IN: NewsNation's Rich McHugh finds more apparent fraud in Minnesota, finds one building with *60* "healthcare" businesses registered to it. McHugh says he visited multiple buildings with dozens of "businesses" inside. When he entered one of the buildings, he found door fronts with nothing behind. "Many of them ... they appear to be just window fronts, door fronts with nothing, with nobody behind."
Before I begin the posting of an enormous amount of evidence on Somaligate that I have uncovered and archived, let me add this introductory caveat. There are large swaths of refugees, migrants and illegals from Somali in the United States who couldn't care less about the American people or the United States. What many of them are doing is using the safety of being in the United States to engage in the endless tribal civil war in Somalia. The United States and its resources and kindness are merely a means to an end for these people. Many of them fled to the U.S. as refugees to escape the brutality of their enemies in Somalia. But they hate the United States and American values. They will never assimilate into American society or into the American way of life. That's why most of them don't learn English or American values. That's why many of them dress in tribal and Somali village attire and head coverings. They have no loyalty to the United States. They feel no guilt or shame about stealing from American taxpayers in the same way Somali pirates feel no guilt or shame about hijacking ships and boats in the Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden.
This is how this foreign born Somali from Kenya, Siyad Abdullahi, moved to Minnesota and set up a medical network for Somali and East African refugees and immigrants and raked in millions of dollars. He has spent years smearing President Trump with vile, hateful vitriol on social media and he relentlessly promoted the debunked Russia Collusion hoax and every other Democratic Party propagandized lie against President Trump and his administration. Abdullahi is an Islamic fanatic who infiltrated the Democratic Party by dumping huge amounts of money into the political campaigns of Democrats and becoming glued to the hips of antisemitic Jew haters like Ilhan Omar and Keith Ellison. Abdullahi is one of the primary culprits and architects of the Islamic infiltration in the Democratic Party in Minnesota. Abdullahi used his extensive connections inside of the Somali and East African population in Minnesota to grift political influence with Tim Walz and the Democratic Party leadership apparatus in the state. This is the system that was created in Minnesota that allowed the untold billions of taxpayer dollars being stolen in the Somaligate fraud and corruption scandal.
Somaligate: The most dangerous internal threat the Democrats have ever unleashed upon America — and that's saying a lot considering all of the horrific things they had done to the citizens of the United States. What makes Somaligate so much more serious and dangerous for Americans is the fact that the Democratic Party is as intergal part of the massive Somali fraud criminal conspiracy. Democratic Party leaders not only allowed the fraud, but they looked other way while the fraud was occurring because Democrats wanted the Somali votes and campaign donations and campaign volunteers. Even worse, Democrat leaders have paraded their endorsement of Islam in every level of the government and social construct to woo the Somali vote — in Minnesota, Ohio and elsewhere. This story is about to get a whole lot bigger and it will reach beyond fraud. It will expand into sex trafficking, organized crime and other crimes.
In this report, I want to focus on the destructive underlying agenda of the Somali population that infiltrated the United States. Somalis exist as a culture of primative clans. They are never going to assimilate into the United States or American society. In many ways, they are like the Taliban and other Islamic warring factions in Yemen and Afghanistan. Somalia is overrun with Al Qaeda and Al Shabaab.
Somalia has been at war for decades and they have brought THEIR war into the United States. Everything they focus on is related to THEIR wars overseas. Somalia and Somalian enclaves in the United States are rabidly antisemitic and anti-Israel. I am very good friends with many Ethiopians who now live in the United States (Screenshot 1). Some of my closest Christians friends are from Ethiopia. Ethiopians are Christians and they love Jews and Israel. Ethiopia is home to some of the world's oldest Christian sites. Many Jews emigrated to Israel from Ethiopia.
Somalia absolutely hates the Jews and Israel and Ethiopia. I want you to focus on the language used Abdirizak Ahmed in Screenshot 2. Abdirizak Ahmed is the president of the Somali American Political Action Committee (SAPAC). In his X account post he wrote: "It was an honor to host and welcome the esteemed delegation from the Somali State of Ethiopia in Columbus, Ohio."
The radicalized adherents to Somali clan hierarchy are at war with Ethiopia. They are consumed with harvesting territory from Ethiopia. This is proof that the Somali clans are in the United States and using the safe confines of America and the U.S. political system to wage their war overseas. They do not care about America or the American taxpayers that Somali fraudsters have stolen untold billions of dollars from.
On July 20, 2022, the genocidal Islamic terrorist organization al-Shabaab launched an invasion from Somalia into Ethiopia's Somali Region. Taking advantage of the instability created by the Tigray war, the goal of the operation was to establish a presence for the group within southern Ethiopia.
The incursion began with over a thousand al-Shabaab terrorists staging diversionary attacks on four Ethiopia–Somalia border towns in order to allow a force of 500 to 800 fighters to penetrate the Ethiopian security zone and advance into the region. During the initial days of fighting, al-Shabaab primarily fought against the Somali Region's security forces. Further cross-border attacks continued in the following days, while Ethiopian National Defense Force(ENDF) carried out counter-offensives in response.
Al-Shabaab forces advanced 150 kilometers into the Ogaden.After two weeks of intense clashes and airstrikes, the ENDF and Somali Region security forces began to reassert control. A battalion of around 500 al-Shabaab terrorists succeeded in evading the Ethiopian army and reached its main target, the Bale Mountains. Several weeks after the operation was over, clashes continued to break out in border regions.
Minnesota Republicans made House File 1 the top priority in 2025. To create an Office of the Inspector General to crack down on fraud.
Democrats voted it down. They even laughed during debate.
Now we’re finding out there’s over $9 BILLION in fraud.
Accountability is coming.
A recent video by conservative YouTuber Nick Shirley alleged nearly a dozen day care centers in Minnesota that are receiving public funds are not actually providing any service. After the video went viral, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced a "massive investigation on childcare and other rampant fraud" in the state.
CBS News conducted its own analysis of nearly a dozen day care centers mentioned by Shirley: all but two have active licenses, according to state records, and all active locations were visited by state regulators within the last six months. CBS News' review also found dozens of citations related to safety, cleanliness, equipment, and staff training, among other violations, but there was no recorded evidence of fraud.
JUST IN: CBS attempts to discredit Nick Shirley by showing there were actually *FOUR* children at ABC Learning Center the day he visited…
But what CBS ACTUALLY did was PROVE HIM RIGHT.
Babysitting 4 kids while the federal government pays you for 40 KIDS is FRAUD.
This place has taken almost THREE MILLION DOLLARS in subsidies over three years.
And to top it off, they asked the owner if he was committing fraud, and he gave the most unconvincing “no” in history.
Mainstream media has ZERO credibility.Back in 2023, a Kenyan TikToker asked how Somalis were funding the construction of high-rises in Nairobi.
It turns out that stealing billions from American taxpayers works wonders for a real estate portfolio.
Maternity Care Coalition in Philadelphia reportedly received $23 million to run daycares and provide other services.
It’s a nonprofit located in a seemingly abandoned building with blacked-out windows.
Nobody answered the door during business hours, and their voicemail is outdated (references Independence Day).
What is the $23 million being spent on?
(surgephilly on TT)
If is serious about fixing CBS, she needs to fire everyone involved with this fake investigation, which does nothing more than parrot government assurances that there is no fraud. That is literally why we call them stenographers. It has nothing to do with journalism.
I went to 4 more Somali childcare locations today.
Two told me they weren’t childcares despite receiving hundreds of thousands of tax payer dollars.
One which claimed they weren’t a childcare received over $800,000 since 2023.
It’s all on camera. It will be uncovered.
Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services brought them in. They get paid thousands of dollars per. They teach them the scams. Republicans are in on the fraud. Tom Emmer himself woke scolded people questioning the replacement migration and systemic fraud.
CNN has over 3,000 employees.
NBC News has over 1,850 employees.
CBS News has over 2,200 employees.
Yet it took to do actual reporting and uncover the massive fraud scheme in Minnesota.
A manager at Nokomis Daycare Center in Minneapolis reported that someone broke into the facility and stole all of their documents.
Why would someone want a daycares documents?
“The dog ate my homework 
” 
” LMAO! The Somali Daycare who falsely claim someone broke in and stole their “student enrollment” documents are now showing off the where the “burglar” entered
Unfortunately for them though, the cuts in the Sheetrock seem to have been made on the INSIDE
Total clown show 
89% of Somali immigrant households with children are on some type of welfare.
86% of Somali immigrant households with children are still on welfare after being in the US for 10 years..
That’s not integration and assimilation. That’s long term dependency.
She seems to be talking just for the sake of talking.
The US has been bringing Somali refugees to Minnesota for 30 years. Their are Somali residents who are third and fourth generation Minnesotans. The problem is that we made a fatal mistake - we put them all together instead of spreading them around the country. The UN recommends against concentrating refugees in a single community as it allows the migrants to avoid assimilation. We're seeing that in Minnesota where the majority white population is being forced to adopt the traditions and norms of Somali culture. And while it is not permitted to say, the culture is a hot mess. Somalia is by all measures the most corrupt and horrific country on the planet. Why would we want them to import their culture to America? Surely we have something to teach them. Sadly we didn't do that. As a result, 86% of Somalis are on public assistance.
Being taxed at ten percent of your income and you’re paying for highways and the military.
Being taxed at 35% of your income and you’re paying for Congressmens’ vacation homes and daycare fraud.
We received our first anonymous tip and sent it to the research team!
They found a Somali ran "home healthcare" company running out of the same addresses of many other businesses. The same registered owner has many businesses registered to an address that is... the public library ! They all have fake Google reviews written by Africans the very same day that their Facebook pages were all created, with websites that are 100% stock photos (on its own not damning.)
If anyone has tips, message us here or leave it the comments.
We did get many other leads, but they were not in NH. Please only NH related fraud.
You’re never going to guess what happened when Rich McHugh from NewsNation went knocking on the door of several assisted living facilities in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.
Turns out that despite being currently under indictment for defrauding the state of millions of dollars, the state is still paying the owner millions of dollars a year.
Reporting and video credit:
The media made a big show of the 2018 raids of ten daycare facilities. They seized a bunch of boxes and bank accounts. They forced the facilities to close and the owners to agree not to start new centers. No one was prosecuted. Instead the facilities reopened under new names, new licenses, and new straw owners. The fraud continued. At the time the state knew the issue encompassed dozens of daycare facilities. The problem has only grown over the last seven years.
BREAKING: It's been exposed that a network of "assisted living facilities" are STILL getting MILLIONS of taxpayer dollars from Minnesota despite the owner being an indicted FRAUDSTER
The media went up to the door, and they PANICKED!
"How is he still collecting checks, running these assisted living centers?!"
They're getting tens of MILLIONS.
REP. ROBBINS: "In this case, and in others, they didn't [stop the funds]!"
"This person owns assisted living facilities, and his wife runs the service provider part of it. He owns the property, one was purchased with the same shell company he used to money launder in Feeding Our Future. Now, that same shell company has been used to buy a new assisted living facility property!"
This is unbelievable. CUT IT OFF, NOW.
Somali daycares stealing vast amounts of taxpayer funds is nothing new. But when it was previously discovered a decade ago, the Somali perpetrators faced little consequences for stealing millions in Minnesota.
This is modern America.
Brand-new suburban homes. Four bedrooms. Fresh construction.
"Section 8 approved."
People working 40 hours a week live in apartments…
so government-subsidized tenants can move into new HOUSES.
On January 30th, funding for the fraudulent daycare programs in MN expires.
It’s an $8 billion nationwide program without guardrails to prevent theft. I challenge my colleagues to eliminate the fraud, but I suspect and will fund it without a fix.
A bus driver works for 20 years to pay her rent. Her neighbour has JUST arrived, does not speak English, and has a three-bedroom flat for FREE.
HOW is this fair!
In case you thought Democrats might feel some shame and end the fraud, no they learned a different lesson from the Somali fraud: They want to make it harder for any journalist to investigate potential fraud. This is how you say you’re criminals without saying you’re criminals.
HOLY SMOKES. Washington Democrat Sen. Lisa Wellman just pre-filed a bill PROTECTING Somali daycare fraud now that it's all being exposed.
This will hide swaths of information from being accessible to the public.
She is essentially admitting Democrats are IN ON THE FRAUD. 
In 2018, Minnesota saw $3 million dollars in autism claims
In 2023 (After the Somalis invaded), they took $400 million dollars in autism claims.
Democrats are using Somalis for votes, and Somalis are using taxpayers for income. No more visas, time to denaturalize!
Americans are reaching a breaking point.
Fraud fatigue is now a very real thing.
People are not only questioning the system, but are completely done with the system and considering not even paying taxes.
Why should we? It only gets sent to Somali Pirates, and fraudsters and wasted by the people who are selected to represent us.
Is this the turning point?
In 2015, over 10 years ago, former fraud investigator with the government said millions of taxpayer dollars were being stolen by day cares
“How significant is this problem?”
“Massive, they don't want a fraud unit to do anything — It’s is nothing but a giant cover up — We uncovered evidence the company was collecting millions in public subsidies for providing bogus childcare services — In essence, this scheme was really involved creating a criminal enterprise.”
BREAKING: This is a GENERATIONAL betrayal.
HUD just found $5 BILLION+ in FRAUDULENT payments in 2024 alone, under Biden.
Payment error of over 11% PERCENT.
- $5.2 BILLION to inactive accounts
- $77M to deceased tenants
- $150M to nonexistent Social Security numbers
- $288M to excessively high rent
We need to DOGE HOUSING! This is unacceptable. ONE YEAR. Imagine all 4.+1,000 people are registered to vote from a single address in Fulton County (Atlanta, Georgia)
The issue? It’s a church and no one lives there.
It’s a clever scheme by Democrat activists to register homeless people to vote, citing the church as their “residence”
In one block, we found two churches that have registered over 3,000 people
The HHS DOGE team has expanded the Defend the Spend system to require all ACF payments across America to be justified.
Since March 2025, Defend the Spend has applied only to HHS discretionary payments, which did not include these ACF payments.
Over the coming days, we will expand the system to support itemized receipts and photographic evidence, and make all data/receipts, where possible, available to the public.
BREAKING: The Trump admin is gearing up to FREEZE childcare subsidies to ALL states, rather than just Minnesota, per ABC
States will be required to PROVE fraud is not occurring before payments are resumed.
has set up a portal which EACH AND EVERY RECEIPT must be uploaded to before the federal government does any reimbursing.
No wonder Western North Carolina couldn't get trailers for housing last year, I mean fake Somali children had to go to fake daycare while APPALACHIAN AMERICANS LIVED IN TENTS AND BEGGED FOR HELP.
20 Somalian daycares within 3 blocks in a subsidized housing area in Seattle

No kids, doors slammed in his face.
Industrial level fraud across the country
WOW A Somalian immigrant named Abdi Daisane is running for Minnesota State Representative as a Democrat and you’ll never believe this, he owns a daycare in Minnesota
The daycare has “a laundry list” of violations including not complying with DHS requests
Violations include
- No equipment
- No materials
- No supplies
- No supervision for the kids
- Not operating within the terms of their license
- Never submitted their DHS background study when requested
- Unsanitary conditions
- Not complying with CPR regulations
- No first aid kits
- No furnishings
- No documents to show that the teachers were qualified to do the job
- No immunization records for any of the children
- Not enough staff
- Same violations happen over and over and over
Sure sounds like fraud doesn’t it….

Sure sounds like fraud doesn’t it….The fraud in MN is insane and should be prosecuted, but I have questions:
When did it become the federal government’s role to provide daycare?
Can grandmas get payments if they care for grandkids? why not?
Do moms who work at home or on a farm qualify for this assistance?
BREAKING - Journalists in Washington state are now visiting addresses operating as Somali “daycares” that are receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer funds, only to find private $500,000 homes at the locations with no sign of daycare operations.
Anyone who's been around illegal and low income immigrants before knows the Minnesota daycare scams are just the tip of the iceberg
This is happening all over the country and at a trillion dollar scale
Voters enable it because of white guilt, politicians because of votes
Replying to @ScottAdamsSays
Okay.
So, get this.
Not only can a Minnesota residential facility employee vouch for UNLIMITED facility residents,
but healthcare facility voting can be administered 35 days before Election Day.
The more I research Minnesota, the worse it gets.
This could be the most pathetic reporting I have seen. The reporter calls the daycare centers to ask them if they are legitimate. I kid you not. How is this supposed to determine whether fraud is taking place? Are they expecting the centers to say ‘Yes. We are committing fraud.’
Six of seven don’t even answer the phone.
The media has and continues to fail us.
Tell me again i need to pay more taxes. Go ahead democrats explain to me why I need to pay more taxes.
Explain to me why your entire party voted against extending Trump's tax cuts from 2018?
Explain to me why your entire party voted NO on tax cuts for tips, overtime and social security?
Explain to me why your fraud is more important than me keeping the money I earned through my effort?
Explain to me why I, my children and my grandchildren have to go into debt to fund your fraud?
Explain to me why I have to pay more in taxes for people to sit home and play video games?
Go ahead, tell me about the evil rich people who are paying taxes to fund your fraud so you don't protest their businesses or burn down their neighborhoods.
Explain to me how forcing me to pay taxes so you can redistribute it through countless fraud shell NGOs while skimming off the top to fund your campaigns is a national need?
All we ask is that these Somalian immigrants be treated the same way American citizens were treated by Democrats after they peacefully protested a stolen election: SWAT Raids Perp walks Jobs lost Lives ruined Felonies Years in prison Solitary confinement We call that “equality”
Two things can be true at once:
1. Nick Shirley exposed fraud.
2. Not all of the daycares he featured were fraudulent.
The video below provides evidence that one, ABC Learning Center, may be legitimate.
Independent journalism is critical - it exposes underreported stories like this one.
But without editorial review, errors happen.
What Nick did is still a net positive.
National attention was brought to fraud, and pressure is now on politicians to fix it.
But when identifying fraudsters, we must be careful not to group them with the innocent.
A new scam has just been uncovered in Minnesota
Regular homes are being registered as assisted living facilities
- In Minnesota assisted living facilities have seen 2x the growth of other programs
- They are receiving 15x the payments of other programs
- Shell companies used to create some of the facilities
- The amount of new locations have exploded in Minnesota cities
- Many owned by known money laundering scammers
“This may look like your typical single family home but it bills itself as an assisted living facility and it receives a lot of taxpayer money.
Here in Minnesota the number of people getting help in assisted living facilities is up double the growth of other programs.
But here's the kicker, the rate of payment in this assisted living space is 10 to 15 times the growth in other programs.
We pulled the data on assisted living facilities in the Minneapolis area. Minneapolis, as you might expect, has a lot. 169.
- St. Paul, with a population of 307,000, has 83
- Brooklyn Center, 30,000 population, has 106
- Brooklyn Park, population of 84,000, has 181, more than Minneapolis a city five times its size.
But this assisted living facility puts this all in perspective. It's owned by a man indicted for laundering a million dollars in the Feeding Our Future scam.”
“These assisted living facilities received over $2.3 million in state money last year alone. A Minnesota Reformer article says he has been paid a whopping $49 million since 2016.”
When my kids were in daycare, the bill was $2k post tax per month.
I made $2400 take home as a teacher. After I paid daycare I had $400 left over.
Millions of hard working Americans on both sides can relate.
This fraud should be a bipartisan issue, it’s insane that it’s not.
I’m seriously in tears behind all this fraud stuff. I honestly feel like my government is trying to steal all of my money and ruin my life so they can give it to charlatans. I can’t be the only one that feels like this. I’m now $30k in debt because I had to borrow money to pay my taxes and medical expenses. But foreigners come here and get funding, exemptions, and benefits. It’s just so unfair. I try to help mend families and I take care of seniors. But I’m probably never going to get out from under this debt because my government won’t let me. It’s so frustrating.
A Somalian run business in Maine was caught stealing millions with fraudulent healthcare claims
Democrat Rep Deqa Dhalac from Somalia used to be assistant Executive Director for the business and now sits on Maine Appropriations and Financial Affairs Committee
Absolutely insane
When I first saw that Tim Walz changed the Minnesota flag to resemble the Somali flag, I thought the story was too crazy to be true. Maybe it was a coincidence? Then I saw this video and it became obvious. These crooked politicians sold out our country.
this is shocking:
> US collects $2.4T in income tax, but spends $1.5T on fraud
> if we didn't have to pay for fraud, only $900b would need to be collected
> this means anyone with less 500k in income could pay *literally $0* in income tax
we don't need to raise taxes. we need to cut fraud
I just got off work.
And it dawned on me, that 30% of every dollar I made today probably went to some scam.
THIRTY PERCENT.
I’m so angry.
All this time I’ve been saving, going to school, working hard… for fraudulent Somali daycares?
I’m fed up, this has to stop.
I absolutely love that the guy saying all the important documents from his daycare center were stolen is wearing Chrome Hearts glasses that, if authentic, cost like $2500+
Really selling the “there’s no fraud happening here” extremely well

He told agents that families in Minnesota send cash back home to Sudan and Somalia through Dubai and he is a registered courier.
I have the passenger’s name if anyone from the transportation dept or FBI want to investigate you can reach out for me
NEW: NewsNation reporter Rich McHugh shows up to one “assisted living” facility in Minnesota that receives tons of taxpayer money only to find it’s a normal looking single family home.
The facility is one of a few facilities owned by Gandi Mohamed.
Mohamed was indicted in 2024 for allegedly laundering $1M in the Feeding Our Future case.
“These assisted living facilities received over $2.3M in state money last year alone,” said McHugh.
“A Minnesota Reformer article says [Mohamed] has been paid a whopping $49M since 2016.”
“How is it possible that this person who has been indicted in feeding our future also is still collecting checks from the state running these assisted living centers with his wife?”
The Minnesota Somalian daycares are covering their tracks
American films herself calling every daycare Nick Shirley investigated she could find and all the numbers have been disconnected
If these were legit businesses they wouldn’t be all disconnecting their numbers
“I called every number I could find in Nick Shirley's investigation about the Somali population with the daycares and the billion dollar fraud that they were committing. Seems like every single line has been shut down at this point because this is all I got.”
She actually shows herself calling their fraudulent daycares
BREAKING: An independent journalist just confronted someone at place listed as a "childcare center" in Washington state.
They said it WASN'T A CHILDCARE CENTER.
Records show they've received $864,000 in taxpayer money since mid-2023.
They're registered for THREE kids.

(1:33:56) Chamath breaks down the $20B Groq-Nvidia dealTim Walz was picked as Harris VP selection for a reason and I don't think it was to connect with white men. The person responsible for vetting the VP nominees was Eric Holder the former AG under Obama. Keith Ellison another person linked to Obama was "elected" as AG of MN.
Where did the Harris campaign get $1.4 billion within 107 days?
The campaign raised $36 million within 24 hours of Walz being announced as VP and $361 million in the month of Aug, tripling what Trump raised.
No candidate has ever raised that much money that quickly. How did she do it?
In July when she entered the race she raised $320 million. I suppose that can be explained as money on the sidelines coming in after the dotard Biden left, bit what about the other $1.1 billion raised after Walz was announced.
There were plenty of stories asking how she spent all that cash but few stories about how it was raised.
How did two terrible candidates that couldn't give an answer without making a word salad raise $1.4 billion in 107 days?
How did a self proclaim knucklehead and coconut raised $1.4 BILLION in 107 days?
Have you ever noticed that every national election cycle everybody talks about Minnesota being a purple state?
Have you ever noticed how every national election cycle Minnesota instead always votes deep blue, no matter what?
Have you ever noticed that Minnesota’s 10 electoral college votes are significant enough to decide a presidential election?
Have you ever noticed that any state-wide Minnesota election usually has a blue/red split of less than 200,000 votes?
Have you ever noticed that there are about 110,000 Somalis living in Minnesota, and they keep on coming?
Have you ever noticed that such Somali population reliably votes overwhelmingly Democrat?
Have you ever noticed that Minnesota’s Democrat leadership has turned a blind eye to Somali-run scams that cost the taxpayers billions?
Have you ever noticed how the Democrat/Media Complex wants this issue to go away?
Have you ever noticed that ignoring crime in certain voting blocs and giving them "free" money is a form of vote-buying bribery?
Have you ever noticed?

You can say what you want about Democrats, but they have always been adept at illegally buying votes, often in plain sight.
My bigger worry is this: where else is this happening in the USA?
I have to believe Biden’s habit of dumping massive immigrant populations into certain regions was designed to achieve the same effect as in Minnesota.
When my wife and I were in our early 20s and struggling to make ends meet, buy food and pay the rent we knew a woman who was our age. She had three kids from three different absentee dads. Unlike us, she didn’t need to work.
She had her apartment paid for by the taxpayers, her medical care paid, her kids childcare paid by the taxpayers. She even got to attend courses at the local college, also paid for by the taxpayers. She had the newest phones, computers and had cable television which we could not afford. Every month in addition to having rent, luxury food, heat, school and childcare paid for she got a check which was more than our combined incomes…she even got bonuses for having so many kids.
A decade went by and we worked hard and built careers and the beginnings of financial security. This woman stayed on the system. Never working a day, occasionally attending classes, enjoying days of leisure while taxpayer funded childcare took care of the children. She partied most nights with “the girls” out drinking and able to sleep late most days. Also subsidized.
Once my wife saw her buy $200 worth of books at Barnes and Noble - you guessed it, taxpayer funded as a very broadly defined ‘education’ initiative.
My wife said “This is ridiculous. Someone should turn her in for fraud.”
“But that’s the trick”, I replied “she isn’t committing fraud. This is exactly the way the system is designed. She isn’t breaking a single rule - in fact, because she goes to school she’s considered a model citizen in the program.”
This is the nature of government subsidies. It’s not even the blatant fraud and illegal actions - it’s the entire design from top to bottom incentives for waste and grift and horrible economics in even the best cases.
There are millions of people just like this wasteful woman, living off the labor of others. There are a million more contractors living even better as facilitators of this grift. And you know what? It’s not even a drop in the bucket compared to the real spending: DoD and other agencies on down who waste more in an hour than 1000 like this woman will grift in a lifetime.
Rotten to the core - top to bottom. Theft of your labor and wages by politicians.
