1: New Minneapolis Audit Exposes Fraud Risk in $36 Million Program as Walz’s Minnesota Fraud Crisis Grows
City auditors found weak oversight and poorly documented invoices in violence-prevention contracts created after George Floyd’s death.
Minneapolis spent more than $36 million on violence-prevention programs launched as alternatives to policing, but a new city audit found the money was not being properly watched. Auditors said the city was “not providing sufficient contract oversight or managing contracts effectively,” leaving the door open to “fraud, waste, and abuse.” The findings land in the state already reeling from a fraud scandal that federal prosecutors say could exceed $9 billion under Gov. Tim Walz.
Why It Matters to You: Every dollar lost to poorly supervised contracts is a dollar taken from taxpayers and from real public safety. The audit adds to growing questions about how Democratic leaders in Minnesota have managed billions in public money. READ MORE
2: Trump Says Iran Is “Doing Very Poorly” and “Will Give Up” as Regime’s Currency Crashes to Record Low
The Iranian rial plunged past 2.5 million to the dollar as the U.S. blockade chokes off Tehran’s oil revenue and mediated talks continue.
President Donald Trump says Iran is losing and will eventually surrender. “They’re doing very poorly. I don’t know if they’re going to give up yet, but they will give up,” Trump said Tuesday. The comments came as Iran’s currency crashed to a new record low under the weight of the administration’s economic pressure campaign.
Why It Matters to You: The outcome of the standoff with Iran will shape gas prices, the safety of American troops and whether the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism ever gets a nuclear weapon. The administration is betting that economic pressure will force Tehran to accept American terms. READ MORE
3: Could Ilhan Omar Lose Her Citizenship? Legal Expert Weighs In on DHS Marriage Fraud Probe
Border czar Tom Homan has confirmed a criminal investigation into the Minnesota Democrat over long-running allegations that she married her brother, claims Omar has repeatedly denied.
The Trump administration’s investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar is raising a question few members of Congress have ever faced: could she be stripped of her U.S. citizenship? Border czar Tom Homan says “no one is above the law,” while a former federal prosecutor says the government faces “very high bars” to make a case. Omar says she has not been contacted by investigators and calls the allegations false.
Why It Matters to You: Whether the government can revoke citizenship obtained through fraud goes to the heart of the integrity of America’s immigration system. How this case is handled will also test whether federal law is applied equally to powerful officials and ordinary immigrants alike. READ MORE
4: AOC Drops Major 2028 Hint as Swing-State Democrats Tell Her to Stay Away
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is weighing a White House bid or a run for Chuck Schumer’s Senate seat, even as vulnerable Democrats keep her off the campaign trail.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is openly teasing her next move, telling supporters she knows “there is a lot of speculation about what I will decide to do in 2028.” But as she weighs a presidential run or a Senate bid, Democrats in battleground races are asking her to stay away. One Democratic strategist put it bluntly: “The polling is atrocious for her.”
Why It Matters to You: The fight over AOC’s future is a fight over the direction of the Democratic Party. Whether the party embraces her brand of progressive politics or keeps its distance will shape the choices voters face in November and in 2028. READ MORE
5: Bessent Warns Iran Will Have “Nothing Left to Trade” Within Two Weeks
The Treasury secretary says Tehran’s last oil shipments to China are nearly gone as the U.S. blockade tightens its grip on the regime.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Iran’s economic lifeline is about to run dry. Speaking Sunday on Fox News, Bessent said only about 15 million barrels of Iranian oil remain on the water and that Tehran will soon have “nothing left to trade for anything.” He also explained why he believes the regime is now desperate for a deal.
Why It Matters to You: The Trump administration is betting that economic pressure, not more bloodshed, will force Iran to accept American terms and end the war. If Bessent is right, the outcome could lower energy costs, protect U.S. troops and shape America’s national security for years. READ MORE
