@JeremyTate41 It used to be Saint Agnes School. Changing to the much more pretentious “academy” seems mildly humorous to those of us who graduated from the historically more elite Catholic military high schools nearby, Cretin and Saint Thomas Academy.

Just listen. These are the students at Saint Agnes Academy in St. Paul Minnesota.

@jarvis_best It was a great day when Noii Gersach got his younger brother Noi appointed to the Court.

Tag yourself. I'm Supreme Court Justice Arthur Rogan, who joined the Court in 1938 and died in 1921.

Looking forward to the OLA reporting on this program in a year or two.

Minnesota’s paid leave law was written by idiots. As a one-man LLC, I could claim a back injury, collect 90% of my income up to $1,433 per week. Then I can apply for a $3,000 state grant and say I’m using the money to learn about the new law.

Allowing people to steal hurts regular, upstanding citizens.
Who would have guessed?
Lou Raguse@LouNewsMan
Legitimate recipients — and caregivers — of Medicaid-funded programs are sharing the collateral damage caused by the state’s payment delay as they attempt to root out fraud.

I am glad the owners of this fine institution will now get a much needed paid day off!
Governor Tim Walz@GovTimWalz
Minnesota just launched our statewide paid leave program. Starting today new parents, small business owners, and people recovering from illness or injury will have the security to take needed time off work without risking their paycheck.

100%. Shirley and @mnhousegop are over the target, hence the freakout.
Andrew Follett@AndrewCFollett
Non-parents have NO IDEA the number of forms, cameras, and allergy lists going back decades that come with daycare. If @nickshirleyy was wrong, thered be a MOUNTAIN of paperwork proving it and NPR would publish it in 30 seconds. Instead, they're shooting the messenger.

@KKavosia @RevTChristopher She did the time? She hasn’t even been sentenced yet. Four counts of wire fraud, each carrying a max of 20 years. Convicted on multiple other charges too. Should go away for life.
English
@RevTChristopher @MikeSharp_MN She did. She was the FIRST locked up. Her partner (another white lady) is the one who turned everyone in.
English
Funny to me how no one is talking about this lady🤔

@RonFilipkowski Also not Somali, but Minnesotan:

Report from 2017: DHS employees had been warning their supervisors for over a year that fraud money was probably funding terrorism.
What did we do with this report, Minnesota?
RevTimChristopher@RevTChristopher
Like I have said before this isn’t new. 7 years ago the news was reporting on this. m.youtube.com/watch?v=LAy2Fd…

When the white guy head of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce was indicted for fraud and stealing did anyone go knock on the door of All of Mpls PAC searching for the deep roots of corruption?

@RedEaglePatriot @AFPerspective76 Mike Lindell and Scott Jenson aren’t serious?

I actually think Walz would be vulnerable if we put up a SERIOUS candidate in 2026…

Tim Walz: “Instead of demonizing our Somali community we’re going to welcome more in. Instead of cutting programs we’re going to enhance them.”

A lot of liberals are cautioning not to take the Shirley video at face value or jump to conclusions. But what is the scenario in which what we have seen is acceptable?
What if these ramshackle, windowless facilities in decaying office parks run by illiterate Somali migrants are indeed providing some babysitting services? Should we be fine with hundreds of millions of dollars in government subsidies going to these businesses that would not exist but for massive public largess?
Even if it’s legal, the taxpayers are still being robbed.
Alex Cohen@anothercohen
Even if the Somalian daycare centers are legit, can someone explain to me why the government is giving hundreds of millions of dollars to immigrants for free daycare when middle-class families get absolutely zero childcare help?
English
@devahaz @anothercohen If the total program costs are $500M then the maximum fraud possible is $500M.
English
@anothercohen Looked up total program costs of federal block grants, other federal money, and state money. Total is about $500M. Somali children make up about 12% of poor. So you can figure out reasonable max for childcare fraud possible, at least order of magnitude.

I think @_RyanWinkler is right. This Learing Center seems like a very real Learing Center.

So, @mngop leaders conspired with a discredited right-wing influencer to falsely allege daycare fraud, and now all of Minnesota childcare funding is frozen by @realDonaldTrump. @LisaDemuthMN and @KRobbinsMN should be investigated for fraud.

@_RyanWinkler @mngop @realDonaldTrump @LisaDemuthMN @KRobbinsMN This one could end up being an all-timer.

FOX: But CBS has a report out pouring cold water on the idea there isn't actually children at these childcare centers GOP MN REP. KRISTIN ROBBINS: I haven't followed the CBS report, but ...

@bradprairiewest @HarryNiska Since I started following you, I've seen these incessant replies to Rep. Niska. Any further specifics on what you're implying for the rest of the audience?

Take some accountability. Your failure is no one’s fault but your own.
Minnesota deserves better than this embarrassment.
Governor Tim Walz@GovTimWalz
This is Trump’s long game. We’ve spent years cracking down on fraudsters. It’s a serious issue - but this has been his plan all along. He’s politicizing the issue to defund programs that help Minnesotans.
