Steve Hilton, California gov candidate, launches tip line to expose fraud after $1 billion Minnesota debacle | Annie Gaus, New York Post Steve Hilton, Republican candidate for California governor, has launched an online tip line to expose shenanigans in government programs following the alleged COVID fraud in Minnesota that’s plundered $1 billion of taxpayer cash. The former Fox News contributor aiming to replace Gavin Newsom in 2027 launched the whistleblower line alongside a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem requesting that federal officials investigate fraud in California. Hilton told The Post Wednesday that he spoke with senior DHS leadership earlier in the day and they agreed that an investigation in the Golden State is “warranted.” “This is based on my very strongly held assumption that whatever we’re seeing in Minnesota is 1,000 times worse in California because of many more years of one-party rule by the Democrats,” Hilton explained. In September 2022, Minnesota federal prosecutors filed charges against dozens of defendants in an alleged scheme to defraud social services programs spun up during the pandemic. A New York Times report published Saturday detailed a sprawling scam, concentrated in the state’s Somali community, in which fraudsters allegedly set up companies to bill state agencies for millions in fake social services. The Times reported that government officials raised questions about the veracity of some invoices as early as 2020, but were ultimately drowned out by threats of legal action and negative press. On Saturday, an X account claiming to represent 480 Minnesota state stewards blasted Gov. Tim Walz for presiding over the fraud, alleging retaliation against whistleblowers. The California tip line, launched Wednesday, asks state workers to report misconduct and instances of waste, fraud and abuse. Hilton said he plans to advertise the tip line in publications read by Sacramento staffers. In addition, he called for a “full public audit of California’s major programs” if elected governor. Hilton argued that California’s “aggressive one-party establishment,” combined with a huge number of illegal immigrants, have created “massive incentives for fraud and waste in the system growing every year.” California’s gubernatorial race is a crowded field. East Bay Rep. Eric Swalwell, former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, Orange County Rep. Katie Porter, billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer, and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa have all declared their intent to run. nypost.com/2025/12/03/us-…

@yashar And you’re ESPECIALLY relevant when talking about Kathy Griffin or Ariadne Getty.
English
Bitch, I’m relevant when I talk about anything: towels, elephants, tomatoes in sandwiches, it doesn’t matter what it is.

@yashar Why are you constantly trying to make yourself relevant by talking about Fuentes and Candace?

@RZBuckeye1 @BBCWorld I don’t know, you tell me: how does losing 5.7 billion dollars sound for your tourism industry? BTW, not that we actually expected ignorant narcissists like you to know this, but there’s 40 million of us who are living north of you.

@AIRGold_ Fuck WWE and fuck you for using Grant in your culture war against WWE. You don’t give a fuck about her unless you can use her painful experience to help AEW gain this fake moral high ground.

Is @kinsellawarren is being paid by Israel? Just asking.

@TheDryhtscipe @CollinRugg This is an incredible self-own. If you’re a Christian then you have to believe one of these opinions:
1. god exists and is powerless to stop this curse
2. god wanted Charlie to die.
3. There is no such thing as a god
English
@CollinRugg only three possible conclusions from this
1. God wanted Charlie Kirk to die
2. God respects the curses of witches
3. Witches curses are more powerful than prayer
so not sure why you've posted this tbh
English
The night before Charlie Kirk was murdered, Erika Kirk called a friend to come over to their house to pray for Charlie after feminist website, Jezebel, paid witches on Etsy to curse him, according to Megyn Kelly.
Jezebel bragged just two days before Charlie was assassinated about how they paid for "multiple curses" to punish him.
One of the curses was reportedly paid for on August 23rd, and the witch promised that the "results" would be noticed in 2 to 3 weeks.
Charlie was killed 2 and a half weeks later.
"Erika and Charlie Kirk heard about these curses, and that news genuinely rattled Erika in particular..." Kelly said.
"So much so that she and Charlie contacted a friend... and asked him to come over and pray with them over Charlie the night before he was murdered."
Pure evil.

@sunlorrie Where where the riots when Melissa Hortman was murdered?

Program note:
The lack of rioting in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk versus the outbreak of rioting in the wake of the police murder of George Floyd.

@brianlilley Kirk said: “"I have a very, very radical view on this, but I can defend it, and I've thought about it. We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s."
Not controversial, at all.
English
Charlie Kirk wasn’t controversial in any normal way.
He was only controversial on campuses because some people don’t want to hear even mainstream conservative ideas on campus.
No one says this about mainstream liberals.
It’s that simple.

@HalJoffe Warren’s selective commentary to this degree isn’t even close and to suggest he’s written about Israel extensively prior to Oct 7 is foolish.
English
@BOJOPAPA @AllFactsNoHate @kinsellawarren To suggest that Warren Kinsella is a newcomer to important national and international issues tells me that you would rather smear him for asking a serious question rather than do some simple research into his writings over the past many decades.

"Watching the circus that was the Toronto International Film Festival this past week, one can be forgiven for wondering: does that “resistance” extend to TIFF?
How much influence does Qatar exercise over the celebrated Canadian film festival?
Both are fair questions, particularly after TIFF refused to screen The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue, a Canadian film that showcased one Israeli’s family’s experiences on Oct. 7."

@blogTO Best part of that photo is the obvious lack of attention the guards are giving the one person in that pool. Also, they’re buddy guarding; a giant no-no that Lifesaving Society is explicit about.
