Feeding Our Future
December 5, 2025 — Scott Johnson
Asked this past Sunday on Meet the Press whether he accepted responsibility for the massive Feeding Our Future fraud that took place under the auspices of his administration, Governor Walz said he accepted resonsibility for “putting people in jail.” Walz, however, has put no one in jail. Federal agents and the United States Attorney for the District of Minnesota investigated, exposed, and prosecuted the Feeding Our Future fraudsters while Walz

During the second Feeding Our Future trial I requested interviews and submitted written questions regarding the Feeding Our Future fraud to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (posted here) and Attorney General Keith Ellison (posted here). Walz responded with a request that I submit the questions to a second email address. He didn’t respond to any of the questions sent to either email address. Ellison simply ignored the interview request and the

The second trial in the massive Feeding Our Future case paused while Judge Brasel considered one of the defendants’ effort to introduce the video below of Minnesota Fifth District Rep. Ilhan Omar at the Safari Restaurant off Lake Street in south Minneapolis. The video was offered by Salim Said, co-owner of the restaurant which was perhaps the biggest scene of the many crimes (see this Department of Justice press release).

Charlie Kirk Show producer Blake Neff invited us to provide a backgrounder on the massive public-programs fraud committed by a large cast of almost exclusively Somali perpetrators. Our own Bill Glahn answered the call (video below). Fast forward to 1:36:20 to tune into Bill’s exposition of the cases. With the time afforded to Bill here, this is an excellent discussion. https://t.co/mQZLMamlXx — Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) December 3, 2025

Wall Street Journal editorial board member Barton Swaim writes about the massive Minnesota Somali frauds we have been covering for a long while now on Power Line. Today Swaim devotes his weekly Unruly Republic column to “Our ‘digestible’ immigrants” (behind the WSJ paywall). He warms up to his theme with an overview of the scandal revealing our indigestible immigrants: * * * * * The Somali fraud story is in

Gabriella Power hosts the Power Hour on Sky News Australia. I was on her show yesterday. We talked about the exploding Tim Walz scandals, Kamala Harris’s retrospective on her VP choice, President Trump’s halt on Third World immigration, Trump’s revocation of Biden’s “autopen orders,” whether the Seditious Six face legal peril, and the current state of peace negotiations in Ukraine. I make no comment on my own performance, but Ms.

Bill Glahn appeared on Fox Business yesterday to explain what the massive Minnesota public-programs fraud case is all about. Having documented the story every step of the way since the underlying fraud investigation “went overt” in January 2022, he has a good handle on it. He is not among those demanding an investigation. He has no claim of breaking news. He simply explicates the fundamentals of the story. Here’s the

Ryan Thorpe and Chris Rufo have set off an orgy of self-congratulation and self-promotion with their City Journal column on Minnesota’s massive public-programs fraud. The multiplying claims of “exclusive” and “breaking news” — let’s call it breaking news from 2018 — have become an epidemic with the inevitable demands for an investigation. To repeat a point I made last week, the case has been investigated. With the two Feeding Our

I was on Australian television tonight, and one of the topics was Tim Walz and the Minnesota fraud scandal. What was striking to me is that Walz has become an international laughingstock. His ineptitude is recognized around the globe. And yet, there is nothing new in the revelations of the past week or two. Bill Glahn of my organization has been writing about Feeding Our Future and the related Walz

On taking office in 2019, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was restrained by a one-seat Republican majority in the state Senate—until Covid hit in the spring of 2020. He declared a state of emergency on March 25, 2020, and ruled by decree for 15 months. Walz now characterizes President Trump as a “fascist,” yet it is Walz himself who has exercised one-man rule and obviously relished every minute of it. Walz

The late, great Rush Limbaugh had a phrase, “drive-by media,” to describe the national press corps that would swoop in for an event or disaster to claim credit, assign blame, and then move on. We are witnessing the phenomenon around the massive Minnesota Somali fraud scandal. And it’s a welcome thing. In this round, we had the City Journal piece, followed by the New York Times report. The U.K. Daily

The constellation of frauds committed by a large cast of almost exclusively Somali perpetrators has now caught the attention of President Trump and just about everyyone else thanks to the Thorpe/Rufo City Journal column “The Largest Funder of Al-Shabaab Is the Minnesota Taxpayer.” And just about everyone understands the immigration angle. It’s hard to miss. I’ve written about it in my own way several times on Power Line. What about

Yesterday the New York Post featured Douglas Murray’s column “Afghan terror and Somalia [sic] fraud shows why Trump is right on migrants” in its opinion pages. Murray credited the Rufo/Thorpe City Journal column that I wrote about this week here at City Journal and here on Power Line with the “the discovery…reported first” by them of “vast amounts of welfare and charitable fraud being carried out by the Somali residents

The City Journal column by Ryan Thorpe and Christopher Rufo has taken on a life of its own. Among other things, Thorpe and Rufo report that Minnesota taxpayers are the largest funder of al Shabab via the Feeding Our Future fraud and others, all of which I think it is fair to say we have covered to a fare-thee-well on Power Line. The Thorpe-Rufo column has created a furor. President

At a hearing in federal districti cout yesterday afternoon Judge Nancy Brasel sentenced Abdimajid Mohamed Nur to 10 years in prison for his role in the $300 million Feeding Our Future case. I attended the hearing along with two other reporters and Nur’s supporters, mostly family. Law enforcement authorities who testified at trial were among the familiar faces who attended as well. Nur was one of the five defendants convicted
