Republican probe finds BOMBSHELL evidence against Gov. Tim Walz and AG Keith Ellison
JUNE 08, 2026
Republican members of Congress are accusing Minnesota Democrats of knowing about massive fraud in the state and looking the other way.
On Monday, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released a report on fraud scams in Minnesota.
The report claims that top Democratic officials knew about the scams as far back as 2019.
"It's always worse than we thought," reads a statement from the committee. "Democrat-run Minnesota knew about rampant fraud since 2019. State officials failed to act. $9 billion was stolen from taxpayers."
The report said billions of dollars were potentially paid out to fraudsters while Minnesota Democrats like Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison did nothing to stop the scams.
"The report includes testimony and documents obtained by the Committee showing that Minnesota state leaders consistently failed to address known fraud concerns and retaliated against state employees who sought to protect taxpayer funds, allowing criminal schemes to flourish and diverting critical resources from vulnerable Americans," reads the press release announcing the report.
The report claims that top Democratic officials knew about the scams as far back as 2019.
Rather than trying to stop the fraud, Democrats allegedly allowed the scams to continue in order to avoid the possibility of litigation as well as discrimination claims. The report also accused Walz of retaliating against whistleblowers who alerted officials about the fraud.
The committee called on Vice President JD Vance to fully review social services programs in Minnesota. Vance is heading up the president's Task Force to Eliminate Fraud.
The Justice Department announced a settlement with the Cleveland Clinic to end "gender-affirming care" at the clinic for two decades, according to a press release.
The clinic also agreed to pay a fine of $308,000 after it was accused of misrepresenting the gender-transitioning care in order to secure insurance coverage.
Former reality TV star Spencer Pratt remains optimistic about his chances in the Los Angeles mayoral race despite losing his 40,000-vote lead and second-place position to far-left L.A. City Councilwoman Nithya Raman.
Critics of California’s delayed vote-counting are raising concerns that the primary election may have been stolen from Pratt, as the process has already dragged on for nearly a week.
'Raman has conveniently received a WILDLY disproportionate amount of "late mail-in ballots" compared to both Bass and Pratt.'
Pratt’s nearly 10-point advantage over Raman on Election Day slowly shrank in the days following, with Raman eventually taking the lead. As of Monday, Raman is up 3,000 votes, according to the Associated Press.
“Folks, we’re dealing with a fraction of a percentage point difference, there’s still hundreds of thousands of votes outstanding, and LA officials have given us the next 3 weeks to count! Let’s git-r-dun!” Pratt wrote in a post on social media on Monday.
How many violent assaults does it take before New York can get ticking time bombs off the streets?
Sunday night, a deranged man went on a stabbing spree just after 7 p.m. in Penn Station. Details on his background are still to come, but it’s a painfully safe bet he was already known to “the system,” which had probably released him multiple times until this explosion of violence.
After all, just last week disturbed Bronx resident Diana Smith was arrested for ripping out a chunk of another straphanger’s hair as she ranted that “Jews are eating kids”; she’d had at least six run-ins with the police.
Earlier in the week, Shawnee Moore allegedly stabbed a 75-year-old Brooklyn woman in the neck; Moore, 36, had three priors, including an arrest for trying to set someone’s face on fire last year.
The judge had denied prosecutors’ request for bail, putting her on supervised release, which is all release with no real supervision.
Last month saw at least three similar cases:
Rhamel Burke, 32, had been arrested four times since February and was released from Bellevue hours before he allegedly pushed 76-year-old Ross Falzone down subway stairs to his death.
Rafael Escobar, with 41 previous arrests, was busted for shoving a Bronx subway rider onto the tracks — yet then got supervised release.
Jonathan Fernandez stands accused of murdering his girlfriend, Eryka Caldwell; his long rap sheet, including drug, assault, and robbery charges, dates back to 2015.
Part of it is the no-bail law; part of it is a mental health system that doesn’t want to deal with the hard cases.
Behind it all, though, sit the Legislature’s Democratic majorities, which ruthlessly oppose the idea of jailing or committing blatantly dangerous individuals; just last month, they buried the PROTECT Act in committee, though it would simply let judges consider public safety and a defendant’s “dangerousness” at arraignment.
Every other state has a “dangerousness” standard, and New York in effect did too, until the 2019 “reforms” nuked it — and the Legislature’s resisted every subsequent effort to restore sanity.
Our lawmakers insist on putting their ideology ahead of your safety.
Arkansas cops released footage of a harrowing, 100-mph police chase involving a car with four small children inside — including a 4-month-old who was flung from the vehicle when it flipped.
Stomach-dropping video of the May 24 high-speed pursuit captured the moment police attempted to stop Tyrice Fletcher, 28, for a traffic violation in Camden, only for the driver to speed off.
Arkansas State Police contend they did not know children were in the car when they began zooming after the runaway driver on Ouachita Country Road 47. The wild chase only ended when Fletcher lost control and swerved off the road, hitting a light pole and flipping over, police said.
An ASP officer could be seen walking cautiously toward the wreck and noticing an infant lying in the grass near the smoking vehicle and downed electrical wires in the shocking footage.
The officer quickly picks up the child and runs to safety, securing the infant in the back of his cruiser while his partner keeps watch over the car.
The officers eventually see the other children, all below the age of 6, inside the car and help them exit the overturned vehicle and guide them to their squad cars, where they could be inspected and treated for any injuries.
The horrified troopers could be seen swaddling the youngest children and providing them with water as officers took Fletcher into custody, with police finding a defaced firearm and marijuana inside the car.
Despite the terrifying crash, the children only suffered minor injuries and were transported by ambulance to Ouachita County Medical Center. Their mother was notified of the crash.
“As a father, I cannot fathom a parent making the decision to drive recklessly, much less flee from law enforcement, with their children in the vehicle,” ASP Col. Mike Hagar said.
“I thank God the children were not injured,” he added.
“The suspect’s decisions placed four innocent victims in harm’s way,” Troop F Capt. Rick Neill said in a statement. “At any point during the pursuit, the suspect could have stopped.”
“He refused to stop. The danger created that day was the direct result of the suspect’s actions,” Neill added.
Fletcher, of El Dorado, was charged with felony fleeing, possession of a defaced firearm, possession of firearm by certain persons, four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, criminal mischief, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, four counts of no child passenger restraint, reckless driving, no driver’s license, no seatbelt and improper passing on the left.
