The Democratic Party entered Monday morning facing a massive firestorm following the viral spread of citizen journalist Nick Shirley's on-the-ground bombshell investigation into alleged Somali-linked daycare centers siphoning taxpayer funds and operating as apparent front companies.

Shirley's exposé earned 111 million views on X within three days, significantly increasing public awareness of what appears to be large-scale welfare fraud in Minnesota. The magnitude of the alleged welfare fraud suggests systemic failures in Democrat-run government oversight, with a high probability that irregularities occurred at the local, county, and potentially state levels.

The Democratic Party's propaganda machine would usually be firing on all cylinders in corporate media outlets at about now to counter the welfare fraud narrative, labeling anyone who investigated or even questioned the suspiciously run Somali-linked child daycare, adult and autism care, home health care, and non-emergency medical transportation industries raking in taxpayer funds as "racists" and "fascists."

Well, Forbes appears to have received its marching orders.

Continued silence from much of the corporate media only reinforces what we already know: MSM acts less as news organizations and more as de facto public relations firms for Democrats.

Shirley's exposé was a left-field event for Democrats, as it exposed state-level fraud - something Elon Musk and DOGE had been attempting to uncover and dismantle at the federal level. Instead, recall that earlier this year, Democrats mobilized the protest-industrial complex of dark-money-funded NGOs against Musk and Tesla. There was even alarming left-wing terrorism against Tesla showrooms.

What America First is beginning to understand is that the success of exposing welfare fraud in Minnesota through a citizen-journalist model needs to be replicated across blue states in a coordinated blitz campaign that overwhelms whatever narrative control the Democratic Party's propaganda machine still retains.

SPAC King Chamath Palihapitiya on X wrote, "I trust @Cernovich instincts here. If he thinks a grant program can unlock tens of investigative journalists to uncover the breadth and scale of California, many people will support it."

Palihapitiya's response was directed at an X user's idea about a crowdfunding grant program to support citizen journalists who expose fraud in California.
