It was very satisfying this week to see federal agents swoop in on multiple locations in Minnesota to pursue investigations regarding alleged child care fraud.
The best thing was seeing them hit the "Quality Learing Center," which was infamously featured in Nick Shirley's report.

The location is now reportedly abandoned after the raid.
What was pretty incredible is that after that happened, Democratic Gov. Tim Walz appeared to take credit for the federal actions. As we reported, FBI Director Kash Patel nuked his effort.

Others had thoughts on Walz's posts, including the Department of Justice (DOJ) Rapid Response account. This was a banger of a post.

He also cares so much that he blew off a state hearing on the question on Tuesday.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was absent from a state fraud hearing on Tuesday, and the Republican lawmaker leading the hearing believes he was in the building at the time — and the reason for his absence, according to the lawmaker, was the governor’s "arrogance."
"I think he just feels above it all and doesn't need to answer to the people of Minnesota," state Rep. Kristin Robbins, chair of the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee, told Fox News Digital after Walz was a no-show at the committee’s hearing on Tuesday seeking more answers in the massive fraud scandal that has enveloped the state in recent years.
"The only reason he testified in D.C. is because he was under subpoena. And, you know, he doesn't have to come to our committee. I expected him to. I really did, because Minnesotans are owed an explanation of how billions of our tax dollars could be stolen on his watch."
Leave it to Vice President JD Vance, who chairs the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, to have a few ways to finish Walz off on the question.

"This is like the arsonist trying to claim credit for the work of the fire department!" Vance declared. He said Walz "let this fraud happen under his watch." He said that where they did get some help was from some state and local law enforcement officers who were assigned to the federal task force, because "the state government wasn’t doing anything."
“So all credit goes to people on the ground, the federal officers, the state officers, who are working to uncover this fraud,” he said.
Vance didn't stop there.
“The fact that they turned a blind eye towards it for so long is a scandal, [but] we’re also going to find out whether it was criminal,” he vowed.
Vance also noted that the Trump administration would “absolutely” seek to denaturalize people who committed immigration fraud to gain legal status. In a statement, a spokesperson for Vance said the federal fraud task force “has had unprecedented success in eliminating fraud across the United States.”
“The President’s War on Fraud is working, as the task force and the entire Trump Administration continue to work tirelessly to expose Fraudsters who have scammed the American people out of billions of dollars,” the spokesperson added.
