Join us as we sit down with Kirsten Swanson, a 5 Eyewitness News investigative reporter. Kirsten walks through the newly obtained data showing DHS paid bonuses to program staff and eligibility specialists in the Housing Stabilization Services program and beyond, amid exploding Medicaid spending and ongoing fraud concerns.

Also joining the conversation is DHS whistleblower Faye Bernstein, a 20-year veteran of the agency who has faced retaliation for sounding the alarm on fraud risks years ago. Faye shares her unfiltered take on the recent revelations of DHS handing out bonuses to staff overseeing fraud-riddled programs even as massive waste, improper payments, and red flags piled up. She explains why she believes some of these bonuses went to people who shouldn't have received them and what it says about priorities at the agency.

From whistleblower retaliation to taxpayer dollars vanishing into questionable awards, this episode pulls back the curtain on how Minnesota's largest agency has handled (or mishandled) oversight during a time of record fraud losses.

All candidates in the MN DFL party run the EXACT same playbook and it's hilarious!!!

Minneapolis grocery store owner charged in $1 million food assistance fraud.

A Minneapolis grocery store owner faces felony charges in what investigators say was a million-dollar food assistance fraud scheme.

Abdid-Wahid Mohamed is accused of using other people’s EBT cards to get more than a million dollars to buy items from wholesale stores that he later sold at his own store.

EBT cards work like debit cards for low-income families who receive government-paid benefits.

Investigators said Mohamed owned Minnesota Food Grocery LLC near West Lake Street in Minneapolis and was seen buying items such as energy drinks and baby formula with EBT cards that did not belong to him.

We're glad to discover that DHS has paid more than $3 million in bonuses to their hard-working employees. Do you want to pay for gender-affirming haircuts? That haircut talk took us down memory lane to our youth, when the only haircut was crew cut. Johnny Heidt with guitar news.

It is not plausible that Amy Klobuchar, the de facto head of the MN DFL, has not always been aware of fraud. By canning Shireen Gandhi Walz prevented any hearing with questions that might have led to him. Columbia SC was a pleasant respite from the troubles of MN. Johnny Heidt with guitar news.
