Nearly 12,000 “Minnesotans” have already applied for Paid Leave.

The expensive and very fraud prone program has officially gone live. With nearly 12,000 “Minnesotans” applying for paid leave.

Read the press release below:


St. Paul, MN — Nearly 12,000 Minnesotans have applied for Paid Leave since applications opened, the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) announced Friday.  

DEED launched the full Paid Leave application this week. Applications for bonding leave for parents who welcomed a child in 2025 went live in early December. Since then, 11,883 Minnesotans have submitted applications as of Friday morning, and DEED has completed reviewing 6,393 leaves.  

“Receiving nearly 12,000 early Paid Leave applications shows just how motivated people are to engage with this new program,” said DEED Commissioner Matt Varilek. “Our website is managing traffic well and our contact center team is prepared to answer questions from Minnesotans who need assistance. We’re proud and excited to implement this program for Minnesota.” 

Since opening applications for bonding leave in early December, DEED has completed reviewing over half of applications.  

Based on projections from an independent actuary, DEED expects about 130,000 approved claims from Minnesotans in the first year of the Paid Leave program.

THE DFL MACHINE WON’T PROTECT CHILDREN BUT LOVES GUN CONTROL

Governor Tim Walz DOESNT want a special session on: ending the law that makes it illegal for medical professionals to help depressed and gender confused kids without a gender change. Or on putting a school officer at every school, private and public. Or on canceling “free” lunch for all to pay for fencing and facility safety improvements.

No, Governor Walz wants a special session on Gun Control to ban only ONE of the THREE weapon types the Annunciation school shooter used.

Maybe there won’t be a special session on gun control, but maybe we should have one on why Walz and the Mpls Democrats refuse to help provide children and schools with the same basic safety baseball games, football games, banks and even the State Fair have. We can think of 100 things to cut from the rainbow-green scam budget to pay for basic school safety.

Side Note: They will never give of the rainbow-green scam budget which is why they propose “gun control”. It costs nothing and requires no cuts to their cult budget to implement.

They care about kids exactly $0 worth.

HALF BILLION IN FRAUD AND COUNTING

HALF BILLION IN FRAUD AND COUNTING……….so far.

Walz machine donors have been ripping off the state for years. We all know Feeding Our Future and their affiliated fraud is just the tip of the iceberg. Suitcases of cash from daycare fraud has been taking plane rides to Somalia for over a decade now and nobody does anything.

What about fraud in:
Senior daycare programs?
Summer lunch for kids?
Violence Interrupters?
Home Health Aids and staffing svcs?
Charter schools?
Free food distribution?
Medicaid and Medicare ride reimbursement?
Medicaid and Medicare rehab therapy appts?
Halfway housing?
Legal Aid nonprofits? They actually help anybody? For how much per client/case?
“Social justice” scammers?
Climate resilience and other climate scams?
Nonprofit outdoor organizations claiming to “help” the DNR?
How about MSBA recommending the same construction and bond underwriting vendors for every school district in MN? Who is getting rich off that monopoly and are MSBA members and staff benefitting?
How many state employees operate or own a non profit or LCC and are taking state grant or vendor payments? Does anybody even look?

It’s time to clean up Minnesota, and we can’t wait for 1 US Attorney to do it all for us. We also have a $5 billion deficit to fill and we better start cracking on adding up the fraud with proof, or Walz and the RINO’s will just sales tax everything.

FEDS Investigate Minnesota After Dominating Performance By Trans Athlete In Girls Softball.

The Office of Civil Rights announced today (6-27-25) that they will be investigating Minnesota Department of Education and the Minnesota State High School League. This comes after MSHSL has defied Presidents Trumps executive to not allow men in women’s sports.

The investigation is the result of the recent dominating performance by a trans athlete in the Minnesota state tournament for girls softball.

Below is the press release from HHS.

HHS’ Civil Rights Office Acts to Promote Fairness in Girls’ Sports

OCR Investigates Minnesota for Allowing Males to Compete in Sports Reserved for Females

Today, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) announces an investigation of the Minnesota Department of Education and the Minnesota State High School League (Minnesota) under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX).  The investigation will examine whether Minnesota engaged in discrimination on the basis of sex by allowing male athletes to compete on sports teams reserved for females.  

OCR enforces Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits sex discrimination in education programs and activities of HHS funding recipients, such as the Minnesota Department of Education.  The Minnesota Department of Education has delegated responsibility over interscholastic sports competitions to the Minnesota State High School League, and as a result, it must also comply with Title IX.  

“Females cannot be relegated to the sidelines under Title IX,” said OCR Director Paula M. Stannard. “As a recipient of Federal funds, Title IX requires Minnesota to ensure fair and safe opportunities for females to compete on sex-segregated teams – regardless of state law obligations.”

OCR’s investigation responds to the recent participation of a male athlete in a female-only high school softball championship.  The male athlete’s participation was instrumental, leading the team to win the state title. 

Minnesota’s Attorney General has advised the Minnesota State High School League to follow state law and defy President Trump’s Executive Order on Keeping Men out of Women’s Sports, (E.O. 14201), which protects women “as a matter of safety, fairness, dignity, and truth.”  Despite a U.S. Department of Justice letter restating the Administration’s position on Title IX, Minnesota has elevated state law above Title IX.

OCR’s action is part of a larger initiative to defend women and restore biological truth to the Federal government.


If you believe that you or someone else has been discriminated against because of race, color, national origin, disability, age, sex, religion, or the exercise of conscience in programs or activities that HHS directly operates or for which HHS provides Federal financial assistance, you may file a complaint with the HHS Office for Civil Rights at: https://www.hhs.gov/civil-rights/filing-a-complaint/index.html.
