Nick Shirley, a 23-year-old independent journalist and content creator, has emerged as a bold voice exposing government waste and corruption through on-the-ground investigations. Known for street-level reporting with a no-nonsense approach, he confronts issues directly, often in high-risk areas, to uncover truths mainstream outlets ignore.

His latest bombshell is this 42-minute video documenting massive fraud in Minnesota’s taxpayer-funded programs, primarily involving Somali-run “daycares” and “healthcare” operations in Minneapolis. In just one day, Shirley and his crew visited numerous facilities claiming to serve hundreds of children or provide services, yet found empty buildings, no kids in sight, locked doors, and evasive operators. One center, misspelling “learning” on its sign, pocketed nearly $2 million in state funds while appearing abandoned.

Shirley traced over $110 million flowing to suspicious entities in single locations—shell companies stacked in buildings, billing for nonexistent services. This ties into broader scandals like Feeding Our Future, where lax, possibly criminal, oversight under Governor Tim Walz allowed billions in federal child nutrition and welfare dollars to vanish into fraudulent networks. Empty sites, fake enrollments, and untraceable funds highlight industrial-scale theft from hardworking taxpayers.Shirley’s work demands accountability: politicians enabled this mess through weak controls, and it’s time to shut it down, prosecute the fraudsters, and stop the bleeding of public money. His fearless reporting—while other right-wing influencers are busy backstabbing and infighting —proves one determined citizen can shine light on corruption big media won’t touch.
