"MINNEAPOLIS, MN. - DECEMBER 2025: Children sleep during nap time at Minnesota Child Care in Minneapolis, Minn., on Tuesday, December 30, 2025. A viral video showed a YouTuber knocking on doors of Somali run daycares and claiming there were no children there, accusing the owners of defrauding the state.

"The San Diego Chapter of the United Domestic Workers of America said it's heard of at least seven incidents since Monday of strangers surveilling, harassing, and even stalking Somali child care providers - and the incidents are likely underreported. They encouraged providers to report these incidents to the police as hate crimes and to make sure they get the incident report number."
"Newsom mounted a defense of his record on homelessness and climate leadership, while advancing proposals to crack down on corporate homeownership and reform how the state's education system is governed. He cited a huge growth in revenues - more than $40 billion higher than forecast last year - and touted California's progressive tax system, which relies far more on top earners than many other states."
A YouTube influencer knocked on doors of Somali-run daycare centers in Minnesota and made unverified claims of fraud while a childcare business refused entry. The United Domestic Workers of America in San Diego reported at least seven incidents of strangers surveilling, harassing, and stalking Somali child care providers and warned the incidents are likely underreported. Providers were urged to report incidents to police as hate crimes and obtain incident report numbers. California faces a reported $2.9 billion budget deficit, smaller than earlier projections. Governor Gavin Newsom defended his record, cited large revenue gains, and proposed measures on homeownership and education governance.
