MN Dem Senate candidate's viral hijab video takes new turn as woman beside her faces major state investigation
Twenty-five years of friendship. Two autism centers. Both kicked off Medicaid.
Summary
- Fox News reports an autism center run by Nimco Ahmed, a longtime friend of Minnesota Democratic Senate candidate Peggy Flanagan, is under a state fraud investigation after Ahmed stood with Flanagan in a viral hijab video defending Minnesota's Somali community.
- The Minnesota Department of Human Services confirmed to Fox that it has open investigations into Milestone Development Center, which Ahmed operates as CEO, and Spectrum Therapy Center. Alpha News first reported the probes.
- DHS said that several months ago it terminated both agencies from Medicaid under Minnesota Revalidate 2026, a credentials-and-compliance check. Both providers appealed the termination. DHS said it cannot disclose details of an open investigation.
- Ahmed, born in Somalia, is a longtime DFL activist. Alpha News said she and Flanagan have been friends for almost 25 years. In the Somali TV clip Flanagan called Ahmed a friend and said the Somali community is part of Minnesota's fabric.
Commentary
A mill dad still punches a Twin Cities clock and knows a Medicaid dollar is supposed to mean a therapy hour, not a friendship on a campaign clip. He did not pay the levy so two terminated clinics could stand next to a Senate hopeful.
Twenty-five years. Two centers. Two Medicaid kicks. One appeal each. One viral clip. The linoleum in that DHS file room still holds the stamp. The honest household already bought the overtime for Revalidate 2026.
Look every working father who still pays the Minnesota levy after a night shift in the eye and answer this: if both clinics already lost Medicaid, who still owns the next therapy hour a friendship clip tries to bless?
Comments
Milestone. Spectrum. Both off Medicaid. Keep those three stamps.
I stood a gate so a therapy hour still meant a hold. A 25-year friendship is not a weather report.
DHS: open investigations. Revalidate 2026. Print both.
Allied ledgers still treat a Medicaid kick as a stamp, not a campaign prop.
Nimco Ahmed. Peggy Flanagan. Two appeals. File the three.
I still punch a clock at 2 a.m. I want the next therapy hour on a clean book.
A viral clip next to a terminated clinic is not a vibe. It is a warning the street already paid.
A 25-year friendship over a Medicaid kick is a second border around every honest hour.
Fox printed two centers, Revalidate, and 25 years. Argue those nouns.
Hold the kick. Finish the probe. A campaign clip is not a souvenir.
