First it was daycare fraud — now investigators are uncovering allegedly fake hospice operations, raising serious questions about Medicaid abuse, taxpayer theft, and systemic corruption.
Tim Walz makes says political career is OVER after Minnesota fraud fallout and ICE shootings: 'Never again' https://t.co/U5VYY5RY8K

Tim Walz confirmed his political career was over by declaring he will never run for elected office again following unrest in Minnesota – but insisted the fight goes on.
Walz made the decision after weeks of scandal that led to his decision to end a run for a third term as governor – praising those who are resisting ICE on the streets.
However, Walz said that after the fallout from the Minnesota daycare fraud scandal and trying to fight back Donald Trump over ICE’s presence in Minneapolis, he’s quitting politics.
‘I will never run for an elected office again. Never again,’ he emphatically told MS Now, shutting down a potential run for Senate in the future.
The Democrats will put up Senator and former presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar, who Walz has endorsed. Minnesota’s other Senate seat is also open and will be determined in the midterm elections.
It marks a stunning downfall for Walz, who had launched his quest for a third term just this past September.
Walz was previously expected to run for a third consecutive term as Governor, despite his previous failed national campaign as Kamala Harris’ vice-presidential running mate in the 2024 presidential election.
Yet, a growing number of elected officials inside Walz’s party expressed concerns about the viability of him winning the gubernatorial election, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune reports ahead of his announcement.
