State taxpayers are funding a ridiculous “fact check” website at the state Dept. of Human Services (DHS).
Truth before rhetoric … The place for Minnesotans to find accurate information about our fight against fraud.
A bit of “accurate information” I’d like to find on this site is “how much fraud has there been”? Is it $9 billion? Some other number? I search in vain.
Instead, the “factchecking” toggles between “what fraud?” and “DHS is the only entity fighting the fraud” should any exist.
It’s difficult to comprehend that the DHS factcheck content is written by adults and not DFL interns. Presumably, the site is authored by actual state government employees and union members.
As sample:
“In Minnesota they think [fraud is] $19 billion…triple it, quadruple it!”
DHS answer:
Speculation is not fraud. Our investigations continue and the situation is fluid. For this reason, there is no final number at this time.
Ok, then. How about a preliminary number? An interim number? An estimate?
The oldest entry dates from February 2026 and the latest (and presumably final entry) dates to November 2, the day before the election.
It has outlived its usefulness.
