Minnesotans, let’s cut through the bullshit. Amy just rolled out her big “transform government” announcement yesterday, complete with photo-op endorsers and a Star Tribune puff piece calling it an “anti-fraud plan.” She’s desperate to look different from Tim Walz after the daycare billions vanished, Feeding Our Future got exposed, COVID “relief” got stolen, and every other racket the DFL machine runs. But this ain’t reform. This is the crime family promising better bookkeeping while the bagmen keep hauling cash out the back door.
Here’s the “plan” in plain English, straight from her announcement:
• More audits of state agencies (the same agencies packed with DFL loyalists who looked the other way for years).
• Tougher criminal penalties for fraud (cute – after her party spent years watering down enforcement and protecting nonprofit grifters).
• Permanent ban on state grants/contracts for anyone convicted (except watch how the big players get plea deals, deferred prosecutions, or “we didn’t know” excuses).
• More in-person inspections and unannounced site visits (theater for the cameras while the real operators keep their shell companies humming).
• An “independent” inspector general and “outside look” at problem agencies (hand-picked by the same machine that created the problems).
• Upgrade outdated tech with surplus taxpayer money (because nothing says “fixing fraud” like spending more of your money on new software the insiders will still rig).
• Speed up business permits, put services on cell phones, and build more housing (classic DFL word salad to sound “innovative” while the underlying racket stays untouched).
She stood there with former U.S. Attorney Andy Luger (who did nail some Feeding Our Future guys) and a handful of mayors and labor bosses, claiming as ex-Hennepin County Attorney she’d have “acted the minute she heard about ballooning budgets.” Bull. Where was that prosecutorial fire when the daycare fraud exploded under her party’s watch? Where was she in the Senate when Minnesota’s nonprofits turned into billion-dollar laundering ops? She’s been in DC since 2007 – she had every tool, every hotline, every subpoena power. Silence. Now she’s running for governor because the Walz brand is toxic, and she needs fresh marks to sell the same product.
This is exactly how organized crime works: when the heat gets too high, you trot out the “reform” package. New penalties, new oversight, new tech – all while the same networks of political fixers, nonprofit execs, corporate enablers, and street-level operators keep the cash flowing. The DFL syndicate doesn’t dismantle fraud; it manages it. They profit from it. They use it to buy votes, fund campaigns, and keep power locked down in this constitutional republic.
Minnesotans have seen this movie. Billions gone. Whistleblowers retaliated against. Families and farmers footing the bill while the grifters buy lake homes and send kids to private school. Amy’s plan doesn’t claw back a dime. It doesn’t fire the DHS enablers. It doesn’t touch the election-integrity holes that let the whole thing fester. It doesn’t prosecute the big fish – just promises to “look harder” next time. Result? More of the same: bigger budgets, more waste, same looting, new excuses.
Real change isn’t another DFL “plan.” It’s a governor who actually worked intelligence in the Navy, blew the whistle on the daycare scam, the election cases, the COVID theft – and isn’t afraid to name the criminal networks and rip them out root and branch. It’s leadership that puts taxpayers, farmers, working families, and small businesses first – not the grift machine.
We restore accountability. We prosecute the fraudsters, recover the stolen money, and lock the revolving door between state contracts and political donors. We run government like a tight ship – honest, lean, and for the people who actually built this state. That’s the Minnesota I fight for every day: one where hard work is rewarded, kids are safe in real programs, and public trust is treated as sacred, the way our Savior taught us to seek justice and walk in truth.
No more status quo. No more “innovative” cover stories for the same old syndicate.
Minnesotans deserve better. Let’s deliver it in 2026.
