Walter Hudson, a Minnesota state legislator, posted a series of tweets on October 8, 2025, raising concerns about oversight and fraud related to state funding of nonprofits and autism programs.

In his first tweet at 4:07 a.m., Hudson stated, "Minnesota handed out $20 million to unregistered 'nonprofits' in 2024. Some people are shocked, while others see it as just another day in politics. It's at the point where this kind of thing is seen as part of doing business."

At 4:12 a.m., he continued with another post highlighting oversight issues in state programs: "Concerns are being raised about a specific individual's funding through the Minnesota autism program and the lack of oversight to prevent potential fraud. Change requires new leadership."

A third tweet followed at 4:15 a.m., where Hudson commented on the source of recent investigations: "There's a reason why all these fraud investigations are coming from the federal government rather than Keith Ellison."

Hudson's remarks come amid ongoing scrutiny of nonprofit funding and government oversight in Minnesota. The state has faced previous controversies involving improper disbursement of funds to organizations that failed to meet registration requirements. Concerns over accountability have led to calls for increased transparency and stronger regulatory measures. The reference to Keith Ellison points to Minnesota's Attorney General, who has been criticized by some lawmakers for not taking more aggressive action on local fraud cases.
