Kristin Robbins, a Minnesota state legislator, used her social media platform on September 11, 2025, to criticize the handling of alleged fraud involving funds intended for vulnerable Minnesotans. In a series of posts directed at Governor Tim Walz, she accused both state leadership and providers of lacking accountability in addressing these concerns.

In her first tweet, Robbins stated: "@Tim_Walz There’s been ZERO accountability - not for the providers, not for DHS leadership, not for @Tim_Walz. This is YOUR money. Funds meant for vulnerable Minnesotas, stolen. (3/5)" (September 11, 2025).

She then outlined steps she would take if elected governor: "@Tim_Walz As governor I’ll:

Investigate fraud IMMEDIATELY

Cut off payments to shady providers until they prove legitimacy

Report fraud straight to our law enforcement partners (4/5)

In a follow-up message posted moments later, Robbins emphasized the importance of taking reports from county partners seriously and criticized delays in responding to such reports: "@Tim_Walz When anyone, but especially our county partners report suspected fraud, they must be taken seriously. Not ignored for nearly TWO years until investigative journalist, like @AJInvestigates exposes it. (5/5)" (September 11, 2025).

Fraud investigations into programs serving vulnerable populations have previously drawn public attention in Minnesota. State lawmakers and advocacy groups have called for increased oversight after high-profile cases involving misuse of public funds.
