Ok so they clearly don't actually care and let it continue through the entire first Trump administration, and are doing this to punish the resistance in Minnesota.

> Potentially hundreds of thousands of families will go hungry as a result. By what specific mechanism do you see this happening?

USDA administers SNAP, which provides food aid to over four hundred thousand families in the state. That's one of the programs this announcement is talking about suspending. https://dcyf.mn.gov/sites/default/files/2025-05/SNAP%20Fact%...

Thanks!

I find it so strange that the modern internet assumes that questions are opinions.

Every single daycare in that video was visited independently and found to have children in it. Furthermore, many Somali families are being persecuted by ICE right now, so if attendance is lower than usual there's a sick reason.

> Every single daycare in that video was visited independently and found to have children in it. Is there a video for that? I couldn’t find anything. I did find articles of the FBI carrying boxes of documents out of MN commercial fronts. Is your supposition that there is no fraud? Or just no daycare fraud?

My supposition is that Nick Shirley is dog whistling you and many others, and that the stakes are way too high to not push back.

140k peoples' SNAP benefits deserve to get cut arbitrarily because of a misleading viral video? That's a travesty waiting to happen.

Frey on NBCNews today…

“Obviously everybody could have done more to prevent fraud, and that’s a fair point to make […] And by the way, the fraud is real, we’ve all got to acknowledge it, the fraud is very real.”

Ok. So your argument is that the billions of fraud isn’t from daycares so it isn’t important? I’m not sure where you leared that.

The federal government will lose in court, and we’ll continue on.

You are posting as though these sorts of rules and formalisms still matter when they clearly do not.

Everything validating your racism seems to seem true to you

In what way is this related to racism?

I'll let you think about this for a while, you and I are on a time out
