Minnesota whistleblowers went viral on X over the weekend after accusing Gov. Tim Walz of enabling fraud by retaliating against whistleblowers, and the social media platform suspended their account in a move conservatives suggest may represent another form of retaliation.

“Tim Walz is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota,” the X account posted on Saturday. “Tim Walz systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring, threats, repression, and did his best to discredit fraud reports.”

The whistleblower account claimed that Walz’s appointed leaders had threatened the families of whistleblowers to keep the fraud hidden, and it claimed that “no single agency leader has been held responsible for their role in fraud.”

The post came amid increased national attention to the fraudsters who stole hundreds of millions from U.S. taxpayers in the last few years. The office of U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen has charged 78 defendants connected to the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud scheme, and 56 of them have pleaded guilty. Last month, conservative journalist Christopher Rufo highlighted how many fraudsters sent cash to the Somali terrorist group Al-Shabaab.

By Monday, the whistleblower’s X post garnered nearly 37 million views. Suddenly, the entire account disappeared.

Retaliation?

“Certainly it was retaliation, the question is by whom?” Bill Glahn, a policy fellow with the Center of the American Experiment, told The Daily Signal in an interview Monday.

Glahn had been following the fraud stories for years, and he said the X account gave him information that only insiders in the Minnesota bureaucracy would know.

State Rep. Kristin Robbins, a Republican and chair of the committee on Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy, told The Daily Signal that she has spoken with the whistleblowers behind the X account on the phone and in person.

She suggested that “someone went to X and said, ‘They’re not who they say they are,’ which just is not true.”

“I and many of my colleagues went on X and asked Elon Musk and X to reinstate them, because we know they are a legitimate whistleblower account,” Robbins explained. She said the account has been “regarded as legitimate in Minnesota for a long time.”

Rep. Marion Rarick, another Republican on the committee, told The Daily Signal, “I have spoken with them directly, including in person, and yes, verified their identities as current or previous [Department of Human Services] employees.”

The account, @Minnesota_DHS, had a blue check mark and went by the name “Minnesota Department of Human Services Employees,” claiming to represent 480 staff at the department. After X suspended the account, it reemerged as a “commentary account” named “Minnesota Staff Fraud Reporting Commentary” and claims to represent “over 480 Minnesota State Stewards.”

“The Minnesota Department of Human Services did not take any steps yesterday to have the account suspended,” the department told The Daily Signal.

Walz’s office did not respond to a request for comment about whether the governor played any role in the suspension. X also did not respond to a request for comment.

Walz Admin Pushback

The Department of Human Services noted that the whistleblower account “does not represent the views of the agency,” and denied accusations of retaliation.

“Any perception that employees are being discouraged from raising issues, or that efforts are being made to identify those who speak up, is false and runs counter to our values and expectations,” the department told The Daily Signal. “Retaliation of any kind is strictly prohibited.”

The department says it “is fighting fraud in our state day-in and day-out.”

Walz’s office declined to comment for this story, but it directed The Daily Signal to an executive order Walz issued in September, and a message he sent to all state government employees.

The order directs state agencies to “intensify efforts to prevent, detect, and combat fraud across Minnesota government programs.”

“We have no tolerance for fraud in the State of Minnesota,” Walz said at the time. “If you commit fraud in Minnesota, you will be prosecuted and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”

The message to government employees highlighted signs of suspicious activity to monitor.

“It is particularly important that supervisors and agency leaders work diligently to build a culture of compliance in our agencies so that employees trust that their concerns are valued and taken seriously,” Walz wrote.

Fraud Should Not Be Partisan

Robbins, who is running for governor in 2026, agreed with whistleblowers in blaming Walz, particularly for allowing agency heads to retaliate against whistleblowers.

“He’s certainly heard about it and allowed his commissioners, his people in these agencies, to continue it,” Robbins said. “He rolled out a very late fraud crackdown in the fall, because there’s so much pressure for him to do something and he has done nothing for 7 years.”

“I think these whistleblowers are heroes,” she added. “They have tried to go through the internal channels for flagging things, and they have been ignored, retaliated against.”

The representative credited the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI, along with her own fraud committee, which first met in February, for exposing the fraud. She also addressed the Somali community.

“Two things can be true at the same time: Most of the fraud of the people so far indicted and prosecuted has been from the Somali community. Also, some of the best whistleblowers have come from the Somali community,” Robbins said.

“For too long, people were afraid to identify that a lot of the fraud came from the community,” fearful of racism accusations. “That was one of the reasons it was allowed to go on for so long.”

House Democrats recently blamed the Trump administration’s efforts to rein in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for poor information security. But the agency was fully staffed during the Biden administration when a massive–and still unresolved–data breach occurred. 

In February 2023, CFPB experienced a data breach that forwarded the confidential information of 256,000 consumers to a personal email address. The CFPB fired the staffer who emailed a spreadsheet with the names, transactions, and account numbers. 

The breach may have contained customer information from more than 50 financial institutions.

Protecting data of consumers compromised in this breach is a separate issue from whether the CFPB should continue to exist in its current state, Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, a member of the House Financial Services Committee, told The Daily Signal.

He said he intends to find out directly from the agency.

“I have not blown off or forgotten about this,” Sessions noted. “The big question that needs to be answered is when were notices given to consumers?”

“If the CFPB has followed the law, people who were affected have been notified,” he said. “I will go directly to the CFPB and ask questions to be sure they follow the law.”

Trump named Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought acting director of the CFPB, which falls under the Federal Reserve. Vought eliminated the agency’s budget request for the next quarter and ordered about 1,700 employees not to perform any work.

Vought has proposed cutting the CFPB workforce by as much as 90%. 

“CFPB is an unaccountable agency that DC bureaucrats have weaponized to the detriment of consumers,” Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky., chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Financial Institutions, told The Daily Signal. 

“Under Democrat control, the bureau was responsible for one of the biggest data breaches in recent American history,” Barr said. “I commend Director Russ Vought and President Trump for cleaning up the rogue CFPB, empowering consumers and financial institutions.” 

In November, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, pointed to an audit by the Federal Reserve’s Office of Inspector General that said staffing and funding cuts at the CFPB were to blame for lack of information security. 

“To put it bluntly: consumers and their data are more at risk than ever and more vulnerable to bad actors due to the Trump Administration’s harmful actions,” a Waters press release says. “The continued dismantling of the CFPB will only worsen this crisis.” 

A Waters spokesperson did not respond to inquiries for this story on Tuesday.

The IG report says security issues were “compounded by the loss of contractor resources supporting information security continuous monitoring and testing activities and the departure of agency personnel.” 

Experts have noted that personal financial information stored at the agency has been in jeopardy since the agency’s beginning. 

A CFPB spokesperson did not immediately respond to The Daily Signal for this story on Monday or Tuesday.

After the 2023 breach happened, a CFPB spokesperson said in a statement at the time, “The CFPB takes data privacy very seriously, and this unauthorized transfer of personal and confidential data is completely unacceptable.” 

The CFPB was established by the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation to regulate banks, credit card companies, lenders, and other financial services companies. It receives funding through the Federal Reserve.

Why is the number of business bankruptcies in the United States rising so rapidly?  It isn’t because the economy is doing well.  Every day there are more news stories about businesses that have failed, and this is clearly reflected in the numbers that I am about to share with you.  We haven’t seen anything like this since the Great Recession, and if our economic troubles continue to accelerate during the months ahead 2026 is going to be a very messy year.

Earlier today I came across an article which explained that the number of small businesses that are filing for Subchapter V bankruptcy has set a brand new record high in 2025…

A six-year-old federal program designed to help the smallest American businesses cut debt and get a fresh start has set a record for the number of cases filed, court data show.

More than 2,200 people and small firms filed bankruptcy this year under the so-called Subchapter V rules, which make it cheaper and faster to win relief from creditors, according to data provider Epiq Bankruptcy Analytics.

“Creditors are just breathing down their necks,” said Carol Fox, a court-approved trustee who oversees more than two dozen cases filed in Southern Florida.

This is really bad news.

Small businesses are traditionally the primary engine for job growth in this country.

So the fact that so many of them are going belly up is not a good sign at all.

Meanwhile, large businesses are going bankrupt at a very alarming pace as well.

In fact, through the first seven months of this year the number of corporate bankruptcies in the United States was at the highest level that we have seen since the early days of the pandemic…

The U.S. saw a sharp increase in corporate bankruptcy filings in July, according to a recent report, reaching a post-COVID peak and placing 2025 on track to surpass last year’s total.

S&P Global Market Intelligence, the research and data arm of the credit-rating agency, found that filings by large public and private companies rose to 71 last month from 66 in June, marking the highest monthly tally since July 2020. So far in 2025, meanwhile, the total of 446 bankruptcy filings is the highest for this seven-month stretch since 2010.

When large numbers of businesses fail, hiring slows down and we typically see large scale layoffs all over the nation.

And that is precisely what is happening.

During a recent interview with Fox News, Nikki Haley’s son admitted that not a single one of his friends that recently graduated from college has been able to get a job…

“My friend group all graduated with great degrees in great schools, and not one of them has a job – not one. So it’s frustrating because they did everything that they were supposed to do. They put in the time, the effort, the money to get educated, and they don’t have a job to show for it. They have to compete with foreign workers who are willing to work for half their salary and AI, which is a supercomputer, so how can we compete with that?“

I was stunned when I read that.

I knew that things were bad for our recent college graduates, but I didn’t realize that they were this bad.

The job market is freezing up, and this is especially true for entry-level workers.

At this stage, AI is already doing much of the work that vast numbers of entry-level workers once did.

And a recent MIT study concluded that current AI technology could potentially replace 20 million more American workers…

In the midst of a soggy job market, there’s been a lengthy debate over whether contemporary AI is actually replacing workers — or just providing bosses with an excuse to lay off certain employees and offload their responsibilities onto the ones who remain.

The answer isn’t clear, but a new study out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is sure to add fuel to the fire. Analyzing 151 million American workers, the researchers calculated that today’s AI systems are already mature enough to automate the tasks of more than 20 million American workers, or 11.7 percent of the entire labor force, if they were fully deployed across the country.

So what is going to happen when AI and robots can do almost everything more efficiently than human workers can?

What will we be needed for then?

Our society is changing at a pace that is difficult to comprehend.

One tech worker that got laid off by Meta earlier this year still has not been able to find work nine months later…

When I got hired at Meta in 2020, it was life-changing for me as a single mom. It represented safety and stability — a place to work hard at and retire from.

So, when I was let go in February in a round of layoffs aimed at “low-performers,” it felt like a punch in the gut.

Nine months later, my severance and savings have run dry, I’m struggling to find a tech job, and I feel that the low-performer “label” is part of the reason. I’m no longer the same happy-go-lucky person I used to be, applying for jobs with excitement.

A few years ago, it was pretty easy to find a good paying job.

But now things have completely flipped around.

And even many of those that are employed are not making enough to be able to afford a decent lifestyle…

An American retail worker earns 51.6 percent less than the amount required to afford a typical rental apartment, real estate brokerage Redfin said in a statement released on Nov. 26.

“The typical retail worker in America earns $34,436 per year,” the company said.

“A renter would need to earn $71,172 to afford the typical apartment, which costs $1,779 per month.”

If you don’t make enough money to be able to pay rent on an apartment, what are your options?

I suppose that you could move in with your parents or live in a van down by the river.

By the way, there are millions of young Americans that are living in cars, vans and RVs today.  This is something that I have discussed extensively in previous articles.

Our standard of living is being eviscerated.

Meanwhile, those at the very top of the economic pyramid have more money than they know what to do with…

The top 1% have seen their wealth increase by $4 trillion over the past year, an increase of 7%. Their wealth hit a record $52 trillion in the second quarter.

The top 0.1% saw their wealth grow by 10% over the past year. Since the pandemic, the top 0.1%, or those with a net worth of at least $46 million, have seen their total wealth nearly double to over $23 trillion.

I keep trying to warn everyone that this is not going to end well.

There are millions upon millions of Americans that cannot make a decent living no matter how hard they try.

And the same thing is happening in countless other nations all over the globe.

I have never seen so much economic frustration among young adults as I am seeing right now.

Their anger is percolating just under the surface, and it won’t be too long before it explodes.
