Kristin Robbins, a Minnesota state legislator, recently posted several updates on her social media account addressing issues ranging from Medicaid fraud to local community events.

On July 17, 2025, Robbins called for greater scrutiny of public health spending by stating: "All of the Medicaid Expansion programs need to be examined for fraud - it is out of control. With @MN_Fraud_Cmte https://t.co/f408VCIexB".

The following day, Robbins shared an update about a local celebration in Maple Grove. She wrote on July 18, 2025: "A great night in @maplegrovemngov for the @MapleGroveDays Parade! Thanks to everyone who came out and to our amazing crew of #TeamRobbins volunteers! Our Robbins Sign Team, trained by the epic Precision Sign Team years ago, was a crowd favorite! https://t.co/2D3fs8rcWB".

Later that same day, Robbins addressed an ongoing legal matter involving state officials and a charity organization. On July 18, 2025 she stated: ".@AGEllison’s response to my inquiry about a contribution from Feeding our Future defendant #69 & the meeting on 12/11/21 left unanswered questions, so I sent a follow-up letter yesterday: https://t.co/GaMfG7E5p2".

Medicaid expansion has been under increased scrutiny nationally due to concerns over potential fraud and misuse. In Minnesota specifically, investigations into public assistance programs have led lawmakers like Robbins to call for stronger oversight measures. The reference to "Feeding Our Future" relates to an ongoing federal investigation into alleged misappropriation of funds meant for child nutrition programs in Minnesota.

Ellison referenced in one tweet is Keith Ellison, Attorney General of Minnesota. He has previously responded publicly to legislative inquiries regarding his office's handling of nonprofit oversight and campaign contributions connected with organizations under investigation.
