Nick Shirley is getting a $10,000 check from President Trump today for exposing the Minnesota daycare fraud with nothing but a camera and the guts to knock on doors. Honestly, Nick Shirley has done more real journalism than the whole legacy media combined, and it's about time somebody recognized it.
The check comes with a bigger announcement. Trump and JD Vance are launching a $25 million Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program run by the Justice Department. If you send a tip through
fraud.gov and it leads to a fraud conviction or a significant federal enforcement action, you can get up to $30,000. A tip alone won't pay, so it rewards real results, not just accusations. Vance chairs the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, which started in March.
I love this idea. For years the people stealing our tax dollars counted on nobody looking. Now every American who sees something can help stop it and get rewarded for it. Minnesota taxpayers learned the hard way what happens when nobody's watching.
