Minnesota Staff Fraud Reporting Commentary
Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We let Tim Walz know of fraud early on, hoping for a partnership in stopping fraud but no, we got the opposite response. Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports. Instead of partnership, we got the full weight of retaliation by Tim Walz, certain DFL members and an indifferent mainstream media. It’s scary, isolating and left us wondering who we can turn to. In addition to retaliating against whistleblower, Tim Walz disempowered the Office of the Legislative Auditor, allowing agencies to disregard their audit findings and guidance. Media and politicians supporting Tim Walz or the DFL-agenda attacked whistleblowers who were trying to raise red flags on fraudulent activities. This is a cascade of systemic failures leading up to Tim Walz. Agency leaders appointed by Tim Walz willfully disregarded rules and laws to keep fraud reports quiet - even to the extent of threatening families of whistleblowers. These same leaders are not qualified for their jobs, instead getting leadership jobs via Tim Walz’s friendship so state government were left floundering. DFL lawmakers refused to acknowledge fraud and deflected any serious conversation to stop fraud. Biased mainstream media such as WCCO and MPR showed absolutely no interest in covering fraud happening in our own state. Programs, especially in behavioral health and disability services were built without any guardrails against fraud, all in an attempt to extract more funding from legislature and the federal government. As staff, we firsthand witnessed and observed fraud happening yet we were shutdown, reassigned and told to keep quiet. Sometimes more. Leadership did not want to appear to discriminate against certain communities and were unwilling to take action, such as stopping fraud, that would have an adverse impact on their image. To date, no single agency leader has been held responsible for their role in fraud whether it’s Shireen Gandhi, Jess Geil, Jodi Harpstead, Natasha Merz, Eric Grumdahl or others. It is a structure created and maintained by Tim Walz who has created an environment of inter-related agencies and institutions including the media - that help foster fraud through retaliation and turning a blind eye in exchange for political gain in the form of high power agency leadership jobs or other perks. Fundamentally, Tim Walz is dishonest, lacks ethics and integrity, has poor leadership abilities, and has never taken any accountability for his role in fraud. Instead, Tim Walz deflects by blaming national politics for his own failings and distracts the public with inveterate lying. These lies include his reference of a budget surplus under his tenure. Fact is, Minnesota never had a surplus, we had been given federal ARPA funds that were conflated as surplus money otherwise, we’d be in a deficit. And those ARPA funds, which were meant to be temporary funds were used to create more leadership positions for Tim Walz “buddies.” As such, we can’t fight fraud in Minnesota alone hence why we’re appealing to the federal levels of government. We need all the help we can get as Tim Walz’s agency leaders have upped their brazen approach in covering up their knowledge of fraud. We are grateful to numerous solid politicians (esp the Fraud Committee) and media outlets who are trying to halt fraud. We are also grateful to other whistleblowers who are bravely stepping up. Thank You NY Times for bringing the plight of Minnesota to the national stage. @nytimes

A damning quote on Tim Walz’s failure to stop the fraud consuming Minnesota. "No one was doing anything about the red flags," he said. "It was like someone was stealing money from the cookie jar and they kept refilling it." WOW.

@ChrisCillizza Not to mention the DNC colluded against Bernie in 2016 so that the establishment could get their pick - Hillary. How is that being on the side of democracy, exactly?

I loathe this view. Reporting on the obvious issues in the Democratic party means I am ant-democracy? Isn’t democracy a free and fair press that covers both parties without fear or favor?
Maude@the_c_ntessa

@ChrisCillizza Are you on the side of democracy?

@johncanzanobft If the Blazers received the 1st pick in the lottery (and likely Cooper Flagg) yesterday, is this announcement made today?

Posting my results from UFC Paris was hard. Posting this is embarrassing. Im not one of those meme pages who doesnt give a shit about their record. I care a lot about what I do. I try to have fun and share that with everybody but this hasnt been fun at all. In 2022 I posted a -70u year. The worst year since I started gambling. I am dangerously close to repeating that in 2024 and Im not having it. To all of you who support me and my content: Thank you. You guys mean the absolute world to me, but you deserve better. Im better than this. And I'm not going to keep saying it. Actions speak far louder than words. So i'll work hard and show you.

@DrakeRiggs_ To be frank I'm an MMA fan trying to find decent reporting in the MMA space and i think your statements take away from any reporting you do if you want to be taken seriously.

Counter to your counter: Do they know something we don't? Believe it or not, a heavyweight title fight has everything to do with the interim champion Tom Aspinall. The second part was an obvious joke. Unfollow me if you don't like it, anonymous asshole.

@DrakeRiggs_ @Sportsnet You said that they're lying, and that the fight is getting canceled within a number of hours. What do your statements i referenced have to do with Aspinall? Again, as a journalist covering the sport.

The suspended Notre Dame men's swimming team is another symptom of our gambling and sports-bro culture, and an example of our disappearing principles as “leaders” like ESPN and Barstool – and politicians – put self-interest above what’s right. indystar.com/story/sports/c…
