A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the Trump Administration from withholding food stamp funds amid a review of rampant fraud in the state.
US District Judge Laura Provinzino, a Biden appointee, said the USDA must unfreeze the money allocated to Minnesota.
Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins previously ordered Minnesota to reenroll SNAP recipients and crack down on the fraud.
Minnesota refused to comply with Rollins’ order and filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration.
Last week, Rollins suspended all federal financial rewards to Minnesota.
“Enough is enough! The Trump administration has uncovered MASSIVE fraud in Minnesota and Minneapolis—billions siphoned off by fraudsters. And those in charge have ZERO plan to fix it,” Rollins said on X.
“Today, the USDA is SUSPENDING FEDERAL FINANCIAL AWARDS to Minnesota and Minneapolis, effective immediately, until sufficient proof has been provided that the fraud has stopped,” she said.
“No more handouts to thieves! Time to drain the Minnesota swamp and put American taxpayers first,” Rollins said.
“The widespread and systemic fraud associated with federal benefit programs in the State of Minnesota and the City of Minneapolis demonstrate an inability to handle federal resources without additional oversight and accountability measures in place,” Rollins said in a letter to Minnesota Governor Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
Rollins accused the Democrat leaders of refusing to provide basic information or take common-sense measures to stop the fraud.
Reuters reported:
A federal judge on Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from withholding $80 million to administer Minnesota’s food stamp program while the state reviews the eligibility of 100,000 households amid claims of widespread fraud.
U.S. District Judge Laura Provinzino, during a hearing in St. Paul, Minnesota federal court, said it was likely illegal for the U.S. Department of Agriculture to give Minnesota only 30 days, until January 15, to complete the review of its food stamp program, known as SNAP.
President Trump ripped the Somali community and said every Somali needs to be sent back to Somalia.
“Does anybody believe that in Minneapolis, these are the Food Stamp Businesses? There’s no Food, there’s no cleanliness, there’s no service, there’s no nothing, except FRAUD. They get sent Millions of Dollars of Taxpayer Money, and laugh at how STUPID the Americans are, but not anymore,” Trump said on Truth Social on Wednesday evening.
“These people should be sent back to Somalia, or any other Country from where they came. California, Illinois, New York, and so many other places are equally as bad. It’s all a giant Democrat SCAM, with protection from the Fake News Media but, it will end, as we, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump added.

Republican Congressman Neal Dunn (R-Fla.) has announced he will retire after five terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, opting not to seek re-election in 2026.
The Panama City physician-serving lawmaker said he wants to spend more time with his family, but his departure comes at a perilous moment for the GOP as Republicans cling to a razor-thin House majority.
Dunn’s decision to step away from the House after a decade of service leaves Florida’s 2nd Congressional District wide open and adds to a growing list of incumbents abandoning their posts ahead of one of the most consequential midterm cycles in recent memory.
Dunn announced on X:

“After much prayerful consideration and discussion with my family, I have decided not to seek re-election to the United States House of Representatives. This will conclude my service after five meaningful terms representing the people of Florida’s Second Congressional District.
As a physician, an Army surgeon, and veteran from a multi-generational military family, I brought my commitment to life, liberty, and conservative values to Washington. It has been my greatest honor to fight for lower taxes, our military and veterans, the unborn, healthcare innovation, and policies that empower Americans over bureaucracy and addressing threats from Communist China, Russia and others.
The time has come to pass the torch to new conservative leaders, return home to Panama City, and spend more precious time with my family and our beloved grandchildren.
I am deeply grateful for your trust, support, and prayers over these years.
America remains the greatest nation on Earth, and with God’s blessing, our best days are ahead.
Thank you, and God bless you all.”

Because Dunn is stepping down ahead of the end of his term, state election officials are now scheduled to hold a special election on March 10.
While Dunn’s North Florida district has historically leaned red, he carried it by double-digit margins in 2024, the upcoming special election still carries outsized significance.
Recent GOP retirements and departures, including the resignation of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and the death of Rep. Doug LaMalfa, have helped shrink the Republican majority, raising fears of a Democratic pickup if Republicans fail to hold this and other contests.
Georgia’s 14th District, another previously reliable GOP seat, will also hold its special election on March 10 to replace the departed Marjorie Taylor Greene.

It is almost like someone hit the ICE officer with her car or something.. oh wait.
Just like we all already knew from the multiple video angles, it is now undeniable that the officer was hit by the car and defensively used his firearm.
The Gateway Pundit reported,
The ICE agent who fatally shot the woman who tried to run him over during a lawful immigration operation in Minneapolis last week suffered internal bleeding to his torso.
Renee Good was fatally shot after she used her vehicle as a weapon as ICE agents descended on a neighborhood in Minneapolis last week.
President Trump and DHS Chief Kristi Noem previously said the ICE agent was taken to a local hospital and treated.
CBS News reported:
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who fatally shot Renee Good last week in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition.
After all the lies and gaslighting from the left saying that the officer was never hit, or that he was never in danger, will any of them admit they were wrong and issue an apology?
Of course not, they will only double down and tell us not to believe our lying eyes once more.

A massive bear that ‘squatted’ in the basement of a Los Angeles County house for over a month before being ‘evicted’ has now broken under two other houses.
Yellow 2120, the perpetually ‘homeless’ bear, is on the move, again.
A California bear that’s become famous (and infamous) is at it again.
After stealing the headlines for occupying the crawl space of an Altadena man’s house for over a month, the bear, known as Yellow 2120, has shown its predilection for ‘cozy’ under-house spaces.

A picky bear is on the move again after trying to hibernate in three different Altadena homes. The 550-pound beast was evicted from under one home last week. The new move to keep the critter from crashing in more crawl spaces. This morning at 6 from ABC7. https://t.co/HrTjSa7KLN pic.twitter.com/CdyzkiF5NB

ABC30 reports:
“Last week, the BEAR League from Lake Tahoe traveled to the area to help the Altadena homeowner remove the bear using paintballs to scare him out of the crawl space. They then placed an electrified doormat to block the entrance.”
California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) unsuccessfully tried multiple times to get the bear out.
“On Tuesday, the nonprofit shared that the bear went into the crawl space of another Altadena home after being evicted. He stayed there for one day before moving to a third home.
The BEAR League also assisted the third family, placing the electrical mats to spook the 550-pound black bear out of the area.”
ICYMI: Video of the Bear being ‘evicted’ from the first house.

The bear that’s been living underneath an Altadena home for almost two months has finally been removed.
The bear’s whereabouts remain unknown as of Thursday afternoon. https://t.co/7eFtM1Nz4M pic.twitter.com/VF47KGYOxk
— ABC7 Eyewitness News (@ABC7) January 9, 2026

Yellow 2120 left after three days, and has not (yet) returned, according to the nonprofit.
Here’s to wishing it finds a safe and comfortable space to hibernate that does not threaten people.

Sydney Sweeney(C) meeting with Oct. 7 survivors Noa Argamani (R) and Avinatan Or (L)./ Image: @StandWithUs/X
The American Eagle clothing company came under fire from leftists for a clothing campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney employing a well-used wordplay of ‘genes’ for marketing blue jeans.
Sweeney, for her part, seems unbothered by the tantrums of the left and refuses to bow down to the woke mob.
Recently, Sweeney was all smiles as she posed with freed Israeli hostages Noa Argamani and Avinatan Or, who were both taken by Hamas terrorists following the October 7 attack while in attendance at a nature party.
A haunting image of Argamani at the moment of her capture at the party horrified the world as she pleaded with the terrorists while being held on the back of a motorbike, ‘Don’t kill me!” And she called out to her boyfriend, Or, who was being led away by Hamas.
Argamani was released after 245 days in captivity.
Thanks to President Donald Trump’s historic peace deal, Or was released after 738 days in captivity, and the two were reunited.
The nonprofit advocacy group StandWithUs shared an image of the meeting.
“Actress Sydney Sweeney alongside Hamas captivity survivors Noa Argamani and Avinatan Or.”
“Noa and Avinatan were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, from the Nova Festival in southern Israel. Noa was rescued from Gaza in June 2024 during an IDF operation, and Avinatan Or was released on October 13, 2025, after more than two years in captivity.”

While it is unclear how the meeting came about, Sweeney’s boyfriend, music executive Scooter Braun, met with Argamani in 2024.
Braun shared at the time on Instagram, “Tonight was a very special night that I did not expect. I got invited to @glblctzn with some friends and got a call that the brave and amazing @noargamani wanted to join us.”
“I found myself in tears at the sight of her and found even more resolve in our mission to bring all the hostages home and push for peace and understanding between all people.”
“I got to watch this young woman smile and listen to some of her favorite songs and meet some amazing artists. But more importantly she and other survivors came together to dance again and listen to music in a place that promotes unity. We will bring them home and dance again.”
“Thank you Noa and so many others for tonight and thank you to the global citizen team for a special night. And thank you to my friend @teddysphotos , @coldplay , and @postmalone for being the legends that you are. Special night. Really moved. We will ALL dance again. Music unites.”

The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) recently shared an embarrassing post on its social media accounts.
A flyer, meant to encourage people to contact the state’s governor, JB Pritzker (D), demanding that the ‘ultra-wealthy’ pay their ‘fair share’ to fund the failing school system, contained a glaring misspelling.
The flyer, shared to CTU’s X, Facebook, and TikTok,  referred to “Governer” Pritzker.
School choice advocate Corey DeAngelis shared the flyer on X, and CTU quickly deleted all evidence of the error.

DeAngelis told the Daily Caller News Foundation in a statement, “If the union can’t handle simple spelling on a flyer, imagine the oversight in their classrooms.”
He called the spelling mistake “Beyond parody.”
“No wonder so many kids in Chicago can’t read.”
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, a recent report from the CPS Office of Inspector General detailed $23.6 million in improper or wasteful travel spending.
In November, CTU was put on notice after failing to complete financial audits to show how union members’ money has been spent over the past five years.
The House Education and Workforce Committee sent a letter to CTU President Stacy Davis Gates, noting the union has failed to provide members with complete financial audits since 2020, in violation of their own policy.
In 2024, the union demanded an additional $50 billion in taxpayer funds, which included a 9% wage hike, fully paid abortions for its members, new migrant services and facilities, and a myriad of LGBT-related requirements.
A recent Illinois State Board of Education report card is dreadful.
In 30 schools in Illinois, not a single student can read at grade level, 22 of which are in the City of Chicago.

In 53 schools, not a single student can do math at grade level, 33 of which are in  Chicago.

Senate Republicans struck down a war powers resolution that would have blocked President Trump from using military force against Venezuela.
Last Thursday the Senate voted 52-47 to advance a war powers resolution to limit President Trump’s military actions in Venezuela.
Last week five Republican senators joined the Democrats to advance the resolution: Young (IN), Murkowski (AK), Collins (ME), Rand Paul (KY), and Hawley (MO).
On Wednesday, two Republican Senators – Hawley (MO) and Young (IN) flipped and voted to strike down the resolution.
Vice President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote.

The Hill reported:
Senate Republicans on Wednesday defeated a war powers resolution to block President Trump from using military force “within or against” Venezuela after two Republicans who voted last week to advance the measure reversed themselves and joined their leaders in quashing it.
Sens. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Todd Young (R-Ind.) voted on Wednesday to support a point of order against the resolution after coming under intense pressure from Trump, who called for their ouster from the Senate after they defied him last week.
Their sudden change of heart about the resolution underscores Trump’s tremendous ability to wield his influence over GOP lawmakers on big votes.
The Senate voted last week to discharge the bipartisan resolution out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee after five Republicans, including Hawley and Young, voted to do so.
Wednesday’s vote comes after President Trump ordered military strikes on Venezuela and captured Nicolas Maduro.
Maduro was indicted on four counts by a federal grand jury in the Southern District of New York.
Read the indictment here.
President Trump last Tuesday evening announced that Venezuela will give the United States between 30 and 50 million barrels of oil.
Trump said the oil will be sold at market price.

Journalist Nick Shirley dropped part two of his investigation into rampant Somali fraud in Minnesota on Wednesday.
Last month Nick Shirley exposed more than $110 million in Somali fraud in one day.
On Wednesday, Nick Shirley released his second video exposing more than %16 million in Somali welfare fraud.
“In this 51 minute video David and I expose another $16 Million in fraud as Minnesota welfare programs continue to operate fraudulently and steal from law-abiding taxpayers,” Nick Shirley said.
Nick Shirley and David walked into a Somali “transportation company” which receives millions of dollars of state taxpayer money only to find out it is actually a money wiring business.
“This is fraud! This is supposed to be Safari Transportation,” Nick Shirley said.

Last month an angry Somali woman ‘working’ at a daycare – with no children inside – slammed the door as journalist Nick Shirley asked some simple questions about the so-called children’s center.
Minnesota Childcare Center claims it takes care of 102 children, however, the facility is empty.
“We’re just wondering where the children are,” David, a man who has been investigating the Somali fraud for years, asked. “It says you have 102 children here, and you got $2.66 million this year in funding. And $2.5 million last year. We’re just wondering where the kids are.”
“And who are you?” the Somali asked.
Another Somali learning center couldn’t even spell ‘learning’ correctly.

Conservative political commentator Glenn Beck and the Mauro Institute claim, in a recent report, that they have discovered yet another instance of U.S. funds being channeled to terrorism.
The Gateway Pundit spoke to national security analyst Ryan Mauro, founder of the Mauro Institute. According to him, People Media Project, a Washington state nonprofit has likely funneled money to the spouse of a Hamas hostage holder, who was subsequently killed by the Israeli Defense Force.
“Evidence appears to indicate that the organization, registered as People Media Project in 2012 and functioning under the name of The Palestine Chronicle, has violated laws that prohibit providing material support to designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations, such as Hamas, which includes financial support to known members,” said Mauro.
“In June 2024, Israeli forces killed Fatima Aljamal and her husband, Abdallah, a recognized Hamas operative, while attempting to rescue three hostages,” he shared, adding that Abdallah had been a writer for The Palestine Chronicle since 2019 and served as a publicly known spokesman for Hamas’s Ministry of Labor.
He noted that “an article in the Chronicle written by Abdallah on May 17, 2024, names his wife Fatima as the Initiative Coordinator for an event in Gaza aimed at offering free haircuts to Palestinian children.”
“At the end of the article,” Mauro said, “there is an unusual line of text that says, ‘Funds used to organize this initiative were raised from personal donations by Palestine Chronicle editors.’” This text verifies that leaders of The Palestine Chronicle sent funds to Fatima.
Mauro said, “The Chronicle also reported that her spouse, Abdallah, was a journalist killed by the Israel Defense Forces.” Interestingly, he added that Abdallah’s title was changed from “correspondent” to “freelance contributor” shortly thereafter. In Mauro’s opinion, “this was nothing more than a deliberate attempt to deny any meaningful association to him or his terrorist activities, suggesting that he was not a staff writer a contractor.”
The national security analyst asserted, “What they failed to point out is the fact that his wife was on their staff and received funds from the editors of the Chronicle.”
This discovery bolsters the argument for the lawsuit against Ramzy Baroud and John Harvey, the leaders of the registered nonprofit organization behind The Palestine Chronicle, Mauro shared.
He said, “Baroud, a Palestinian-American, reacted sympathetically to the October 7 terrorist attacks without condemning the atrocities.” On X, he wrote, “We are not asking the world to arm Palestinians, or to even cheer for them; but to at least understand that violence begets violence, and that military occupation and apartheid begets resistance.”

— Ramzy Baroud (@RamzyBaroud) October 7, 2023

Shortly thereafter, Baroud wrote for The Palestine Chronicle that “[the October 7 Hamas operation] served as a stark notification to Israel that the rules of engagement have irrevocably shifted, and that the besieged Palestinians refuse to submit to their supposed historical role of perpetual victimhood.” Again, there was no condemnation of the murders of more than 1,200 innocent men, women, and children—including 46 Americans.
Mauro added that Baroud has also contributed to websites run by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and for a website directly linked to the Supreme Leader of Iran himself, and was once Deputy Managing Editor for Al-Jazeera, a terror-linked media outlet.
He explained that the lawsuit he claims The Palestine Chronicle hired Abdallah Aljamal, a known Hamas operative. It further alleges that he was provided with their U.S. platform to create and spread Hamas propaganda, which was ultimately funded by U.S. taxpayers through its tax-exempt charitable organization status.
After reviewing the lawsuit, Mauro said the plaintiff also noted that Abdallah’s contributions to The Palestine Chronicle surged significantly following the October 7 attacks, stating that he frequently published two to three articles each day.
“While the plaintiff noted that the Chronicle’s article refers to Fatima as a member of its staff,” he said, “the primary issue in the dispute has centered on whether the Chronicle compensated her husband for his writing contributions to the publication.”
“The Chronicle’s pro-Hamas position, combined with the background of Baroud, a Palestinian activist leading the organization since 1999, suggests a clear intention to offer practical support to Hamas,” according to Mauro. “This support may involve financial assistance for Fatima, including compensation for her husband’s writing, along with backing the organization’s wider efforts.”
Mauro said, “A letter from the House Committee on Ways and Means was also sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland in July 2024, alleging that The Palestine Chronicle and People Media Project may have submitted false tax returns to obscure the extent of its revenue, potentially warranting the IRS’s revocation of its tax-exempt status.”
For Mauro, Congress must follow through with a federal investigation. He stated that he and Glenn Beck will be providing “substantial evidence” to senior levels of President Donald Trump’s administration.
