The House Education and Workforce Committee is yet again doing the job the media won’t, by holding Dem VP hopeful Tim Walz accountable for his atrocious record as Minnesota governor — this time over an infamous, massive episode of COVID fraud.
Quick recap: A Minnesota charity, Feeding Our Future, took advantage of pandemic-era rules that let student-meal programs cooperate off school grounds to run as many as 250 utterly fake meal-assistance sites to siphon off close to a cool $250 million in federal aid funds.
That was spent not on feeding kids but on things like luxury cars and high-end real estate; per Attorney General Merrick Garland, it was the single biggest pandemic scam for which charges have yet been brought.
And it all happened on Walz’s watch, as his Department of Education was supposed to be providing oversight.
Now, Walz faces a big-time document subpoena from the committee, chaired by indefatigable Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) — in service of digging up answers to the hard questions around the fraud.
Questions that should have been asked by every journo in America the day his name was pulled out of the veepstakes hat. --->READ MORE HERE

The House GOP has launched multiple probes targeting Walz
House Republicans sent a subpoena to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Vice President Kamala Harris' 2024 running mate, over his administration's handling of taxpayer funds during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The subpoenas, sent by the House Education and Workforce Committee, center on a $250 million fraud scheme by a Minnesota-based nonprofit called Feeding Our Future, which the Department of Justice (DOJ) previously accused of having "exploited a federally-funded child nutrition program during the COVID-19 pandemic."
Feeding Our Future was accused of defrauding a federal program to feed hungry children by creating fake attendance rosters with the names and ages of children who do not exist and falsifying invoices to portray food purchases to feed those children.
At least 70 people were charged in connection to the scheme, and five have been found guilty.
Committee Chair Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., wrote in a letter to accompany Walz's subpoena, "As the chief executive and the highest ranking official in the state of Minnesota, you are responsible for the [Minnesota Department of Education] and its administration of [Federal Child Nutrition Programs]."
"Statements in the press by you and your representatives indicate that you and other executive officers were involved, or had knowledge of, MDE’s administration of the FCNP and responsibilities and actions regarding the massive fraud," Foxx wrote.
In addition to targeting Walz, Foxx also sent subpoenas to Minnesota Commissioner of Education Willie Jett and Biden administration Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to relevant/related stories and resources:
