J.D. Vance's Task Force to Eliminate Fraud

It doesn't take Elon Musk to figure out that government fraud will be the top issue in this year's midterm elections. Here in Minnesota, Medicaid Fraud has been at or near the top of issues since the start of the 2025 legislative session. Only recently has the fraud issue become a top national issue. When RealClearPolitics publishes an article like this, it's clear that fraud is a top national issue.

The article includes a question when it opens this paragraph with "How big a business is defrauding the federal government? According to GAO: 'In FY 2025, 15 federal agencies reported a total estimate of about $186 billion in improper payments across 64 programs, an increase of $24 billion from the prior fiscal year. Most of these improper payments were a result of overpayments.'"

People from California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota and New York are benefitting from this fraud. In other instances, people from other states have established businesses in other states. That's called "fraud tourism." It's happening because the rules are so lax that they invite fraud.

Tim Walz and Keith Ellison have been referred to the DOJ for investigation. The best Walz and Ellison could do in reponse was to say that Trump hates them. That's called underwhelming.
When the actual fraud cases are revealed, the details are even more alarming. In Minnesota’s vast fraud network alone, an estimated $9 billion was stolen — $250 million by one nonprofit (Feeding Our Future), and some of the money funneled abroad and possibly to a terrorist group. Further, whistleblowers testified before a House committee "that Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison were aware of widespread fraud in Minnesota’s social service programs, lied about their knowledge of the fraud, and retaliated against state employees who bravely raised concerns."
These whistleblowers stepped up despite knowing that the administration would retaliate. It's worth noticing that Ellison hasn't filed charges against these whistleblowers. (It's illegal to lie under oath to Congress.) At minimum, they could file a civil suit.

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Image
Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...

I couldn't help but smile when I read the headline to this article . The title is "BREAKING: Minnesota Department of Education to strengthen hiring practices — after Alpha News reports." Thank God for well-run government agencies. Under DFL management, the Minnesota Department of Education, aka MDE, has turned inot an embarassment. Thank God Alpha News takes oversight seriously. Alpha News reports that "The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) says it will now require criminal background checks for “all new hires” and is working to adopt tougher hiring policies—after Alpha News’ exclusive reporting on a convicted sex offender’s employment in a high-level state role." The article continues, saying "The department announced the changes in a letter to Rep. Kristin Robbins, R-Maple Grove, following widespread concern over its hiring of Wilson Tindi, a Kenyan national on the state’s predatory offender registry who was earning $145,000 a year as Director of I...
