Klobuchar under fire after rival uncovers receipts in Minnesota governor race

Republican challenger Lisa Demuth accuses Sen. Amy Klobuchar of campaigning on fraud while not addressing Minnesota’s Feeding Our Future scandal in years of press releases; a Fox News Digital review found Klobuchar’s office urged action on other fraud but did not mention the $250 million Feeding Our Future scheme (prosecutors say the broader fraud could reach up to $9 billion). Demuth says Klobuchar could have pressed hearings and done more, while Klobuchar’s campaign says she will fight fraud and would audit on day one. The controversy unfolds as Walz faces fraud fallout and Klobuchar remains a leading candidate to replace him.

Pressure grows to sign housing bill as prices hit a record high

As U.S. housing costs reach an all-time high, lawmakers urge President Trump to sign the bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act, which would curb large investors buying single-family homes, streamline NEPA reviews, and fund grants to boost housing; Trump’s refusal to sign—paired with calls from Warren, Klobuchar, and Pappas—has sparked renewed outrage even as the National Association of Realtors reports a record $440,600 median existing-home price.
