@W_R_Emory Bill, why aren’t you addressing the root issue? They said it themselves- uncompensated care. This is a direct result of our “sanctuary city” policies. Like it or not, large amounts of undocumented people use ERs like their primary care doctor, and can’t/don’t pay.

We can't afford to let it close. The State Legislature has yet to pass a plan that would provide HCMC the resources needed to stay open. Hennepin County has a plan; we need your help.

HCMC is teetering on the brink of closure. Federal cuts to health care have put hospitals all over the country on the brink. HCMC is a world-class teaching hospital and a level-1 trauma center with programs, services, and therapies that are unmatched in the Upper Midwest.

@a_adib0 @ksorbs Are you saying that Walmart employees represent all Americans? Because that’s not even remotely true

@Pechumes @ksorbs Same can be said for Americans in general. theguardian.com/business/2026/…

If Somalians are the backbone of Minnesota, why are nearly 80% of them still on welfare after being here for 10+ years?

@a_adib0 @ksorbs The post said “nearly 80%”, which is an accurate claim.

@Pechumes @ksorbs I didn’t deny a majority. I said 80% isn’t accurate

@a_adib0 @ksorbs …..yes, you did.

@Pechumes @ksorbs I never said a vast majority of somalians in Minnesota are not on welfare/ public benefits. But ....being on welfare seems to be an American problem. Many Americans that work at Walmart, Amazon, McDonalds, Uber... all rely on public benefits.

@a70sgirl @TheMagelk @KSTP You’re thinking of the “Feeding our Future” fraud case. Completely separate than the most recent daycare fraud, which is just now being uncovered and investigated. Try to keep up

@TheMagelk @KSTP Get real. These charges were exposed and indicted long before that child made a ridiculous fuss.

In a span of eight years, Minnesota paid out more than $67 million to the nine daycares that were raided by the feds last week, according to state data obtained by 5 INVESTIGATES.

@a_adib0 @ksorbs The article I sent wasn’t about daycare, it was about Somalians being on welfare and remaining on welfare long after they’ve immigrated here.

@Pechumes @ksorbs I dont't see any source confirming someone committed daycare fraud in the past 5 years and that they have been convicted and sentenced.

@a_adib0 @ksorbs …..original poster said the vast majority of Somalians in Minnesota are on welfare/receive public benefits. You said “I’d have to look at the sources”. I sent a source that directly supports the claim, and then you try to move the goalposts to talk about McDonald’s and Walmart?

@Pechumes @ksorbs Walmart, McDonald's among largest employers of SNAP, Medicaid recipients: Report | Fox Business

@a_adib0 @sr_erick @DoryBeutel @KSTP No, but the feds just raided 9 daycares, and that takes a lot of evidence to secure a search warrant, so there’s obviously SOMETHING going on.

@Pechumes @sr_erick @DoryBeutel @KSTP Has anyone been convicted here in Minnesota in the past year?

@a_adib0 @ksorbs Here’s a source for you cis.org/Report/Somali-…

@ksorbs Kevin, this is not an accurate statistic. We need to verify sources first. I know many Somalis who are not on welfare

@a_adib0 @sr_erick @DoryBeutel @KSTP Just so we’re clear- your stance is “there is no daycare fraud here?”

@sr_erick @DoryBeutel @KSTP I see no conviction of fraud related to these daycares. It’s all talk

@Lor_blueeyes @NickJFreitas @CBSNews house.mn.gov/members/profil…

@Pechumes @NickJFreitas @CBSNews If all of this happened. Where are the arrests? Harassment is still against the law. MAgA have left that law stand for now. All of those supervisors who bullied and canceled the investigation teams should be prosecuted.

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.

@Lor_blueeyes @NickJFreitas @CBSNews “If all of this happened”…. So you choose not to believe the victims, simply because it was the democrats who are in the wrong? How very “progressive” of you.

@Lor_blueeyes @NickJFreitas @CBSNews Here’s a summarized version. Can provide specific links if need be.

@Pechumes @NickJFreitas @CBSNews You have evidence of this? Because the fraud investigation was started in 2022 under Biden. But I welcome your evidence.

@Lor_blueeyes @NickJFreitas @CBSNews I mean- in the case of the MN fraud, it is absolutely the fault of the democratic leadership. There were numerous whistleblowers over the years who were retaliated against for speaking out, being called racist by Democrat leadership.

@Pechumes @NickJFreitas @CBSNews I said “the investigation” referring to the MN investigation Not all investigations. But yes. Biden’s government fought against fraud, Trump’s government is fighting against fraud. Trumpers are claiming the fraud is due to Biden and democrats, it’s not. It’s due to thieves.

@Lor_blueeyes @NickJFreitas @CBSNews 1: no one said this is “MN only” problem. 2: yes- Trump has pardoned fraudsters, which is idiotic. 3: “the same type of fraud”- yea, they’re saying they’re providing services, and making up numbers. You said “this was all uncovered during biden”, which is just patently untrue

@Pechumes @NickJFreitas @CBSNews They are linked. It’s all the same type of fraud. There is fraud in all states. Trump pardons fraudsters (who are rich) Fraud is not a Minnesota only problem

@Lor_blueeyes @NickJFreitas @CBSNews No, it didn’t. The “Feeding our Future” fraud investigation started under Biden. There was no investigation about the autism centers, home healthcare companies, or daycare fraud started under Biden. This is recent.

@Pechumes @NickJFreitas @CBSNews You do know that the investigation didn’t start this year but under Biden. But thank you for the info. Anyone who commits fraud should be arrested, the assets seized and sent to jail.

@Lor_blueeyes @NickJFreitas @CBSNews Hey- got something you might be interested in x.com/kstp/status/20…

Prove it’s happening. You don’t want evidence. You want clicks. Like that wannabe Loomer « journalist » All locations should be investigated, they had audits. There were no violations of fraud. The fraud violations were investigated and some condemned in 2022. If you have other info bring it. Until then, this is just noise by Trump who wants to continue his Antiimmigrant agenda. And yes. FarRighters are a WhiteNationalist, thus racists, because they accuse 200k Somalians of the horrible and punishable crimes of a few.

@NeilHyder_ @esjesjesj Found something you might be interested in. x.com/kstp/status/20…

@Pechumes @Will04108625 @esjesjesj Are you this easy to convince of fraud happening? I’m so curious as to how you think of Trump and all his immensely corrupt actions. Take the blinders off let’s see

It’s actually far dumber. He said “We want to sign up little Joey for daycare” with a camera crew as if that’s how parents sign up or talk about their own children.

@Ilhan There are about 35,000 homeless veterans in the U.S. 14 million kids in the U.S. live in “food insecure” homes. Before sending billions to other countries, we need to take care of our problems at home first. We’re $35 trillion in debt.

The conflict in South Sudan has left the nation on the brink of a massive hunger crisis. For millions, aid can be the difference between life and death. We have a moral obligation to take immediate action and provide critical humanitarian aid.

@BrandonGenz @kentucky_kiwi Right, but people have a right to voice their displeasure. The same reason people protest Trump, or the state of Minnesota defies Trumps orders. Or are they wrong too because “people get elected and do things and that’s just how it goes”

@Pechumes @kentucky_kiwi And he, like it or not, was elected...

Dumbest culture war, maybe of all time
