What's This About?

The post highlights Nick Shirley's viral 42-minute video exposing alleged massive fraud in Minnesota's government-subsidized childcare programs, particularly those run by Somali-owned centers in Minneapolis.[1][2] Shirley visits deserted facilities like the misspelled 'Quality Learing Center,' which reportedly received $4 million in state funds for 99 children despite appearing inactive, tying into broader claims of over $1 billion in social services fraud linked to the Somali community.[1][2][3] Key themes include government waste under Gov. Tim Walz, taxpayer-funded scams, and reluctance by media to cover due to fears of racism accusations, sparking responses from the FBI, JD Vance, and others.[1][2]

🔥Why It's Trending

The video crossed 100 million views on X during Christmas week 2025, fueled by endorsements from high-profile figures like JD Vance, Donald Trump Jr., and Elon Musk amid ongoing Minnesota fraud scandals.[1][2] Timing aligns with federal probes revealing $9 billion in potential misappropriated funds since 2018, 89% involving Somali Americans, amplifying political attacks on Walz.[1] Its raw, on-the-ground footage resonates in polarized U.S. politics, positioning X as the new media hub.
