The Trump administration just took a sledgehammer to one of the most disgusting government fraud schemes in recent memory—and predictably, a Democrat governor is screaming about "weaponization" instead of answering for the children his state destroyed.
Vice President JD Vance and Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mehmet Oz dropped a bombshell this week, revealing the sickening details behind the Trump administration's decision to freeze $260 million in Minnesota Medicaid funds. What they exposed should have every American demanding answers from Governor Tim Walz.
The Fraud That Should Make Your Blood Boil
Here's what was happening under Walz's watch: Fraudsters set up over 500 unlicensed "treatment centers" across Minnesota, convincing parents to obtain bogus autism diagnoses for their children. Parents received thousand-dollar kickbacks while these criminal operations billed Medicaid millions for services that were never rendered.
Let that sink in. Over 500 unlicensed centers. And only six even bothered to apply for licensing.
The numbers are staggering. One organization alone raked in $11.5 million in payments, with their top biller somehow claiming to work more than 24 hours a day. Even more grotesque? Eight beneficiaries at one center were already dead—but the billing continued anyway.
Children Used as Profit Centers
But the money isn't even the worst part, Patriots. A military recruiter testified that 90 percent of Minneapolis public school kids were medicated on Ritalin under false autism diagnoses. Five-year-olds—kindergarteners—pumped full of medication designed for teenagers.
These children will carry those fraudulent diagnoses for life. Many can't even receive a high school diploma because of the medical labels slapped on them by scam artists looking to cash in on taxpayer dollars.
"Kids who deserve autism services are not getting them because fraudsters in Minneapolis are stealing the money," Vice President Vance stated plainly.
And where was Tim Walz while all this was happening? The same Tim Walz who Kamala Harris thought should be a heartbeat away from the presidency?
Walz's Pathetic Response
When confronted with the evidence, Walz claimed he was "the angriest person about the fraud." Seconds later? He pivoted to calling Trump's investigation "weaponization" of the federal government.
Which is it, Governor? Are you angry about children being drugged and exploited, or are you angry that someone finally caught your state's bureaucracy profiting from their suffering?
Kristen Robbins, chair of the Minnesota House Fraud Committee, delivered the real verdict: ignoring these scams was "a deliberate choice by state leadership going back decades."
Decades. And Democrats like Walz did nothing.
Accountability Is Coming
President Trump promised to stop the theft of your tax dollars. He promised to drain the swamp and hold corrupt officials accountable. This is exactly what that looks like.
The Trump administration isn't "weaponizing" anything—they're doing their job. They're protecting children from corrupt officials who see vulnerable kids not as people deserving care, but as profit centers to be exploited.
Every blue state running similar schemes should be on notice. The days of hiding fraud behind cries of "political retribution" are over. The adults are back in charge, and they're coming for the receipts.
The real question every American should be asking: How many other states have similar rackets running right now? And which Democrat governors are going to be exposed next?
