Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison sat for a contentious Senate session this week that laid bare the swampy connections between state officials and the fraudsters who preyed on federal relief programs. Senators like Josh Hawley didn’t mince words — accusing Ellison of turning a blind eye and even suggesting indictments while demanding real answers from a man whose office is supposed to protect taxpayers.
This scandal is not a one-off snafu; House Oversight has documented years of waste and is treating the Feeding Our Future scandal and related schemes as systemic theft that stole from needy families. Chairman James Comer has been relentless in calling witnesses and subpoenaing records, and he has scheduled follow-up hearings to force Governor Walz and AG Ellison to explain how hundreds of millions went missing.
Ellison attempted to reframe the controversy as partisan theater while simultaneously demanding federal transparency about immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota — a contradiction that only fuels suspicion. Senators pressed him on whether political favors, campaign donations and jurisdictional games allowed fraud to flourish unchecked while investigations were stalled.
Conservative commentators across the airwaves correctly insist the remedy is straightforward: enforce the law without fear or favor. Carl Higbie and other Newsmax voices have called for accountability, demanding that prosecutors arrest and prosecute anyone who stole federal dollars or aided the schemes that hurt Minnesota families.
Talk is cheap and press conferences won’t return the stolen money; what matters now is subpoenas, indictments, and preservation of evidence so whistleblowers and victims see justice served. Republicans on Capitol Hill must keep up the pressure, follow the money, and refuse to let democratic norms be used as cover for corruption.
Hardworking Americans deserve a government that protects their wallets and their children, not officials who spend their time spinning narratives and deflecting blame. It’s time for prosecutors to stop playing politics, for Congress to keep demanding truth, and for patriots to insist on the simple, unambiguous principle of the rule of law: arrest the people who steal our money and break our laws.
