Summary
Republican Eric Pratt’s campaign in Minnesota’s 2nd District takes a hit after his field director is ousted over inflammatory 2026 social media posts identifying him as a “White Christian Nationalist” and targeting trans people, immigrants, and religious minorities. Meanwhile, a Hugo woman sentenced to 180 hours of community service was found guilty of threatening Rep. Lisa Demuth, the GOP’s gubernatorial candidate. In healthcare, 150 doctors at Allina hospitals prep for a four-day strike amid stalled negotiations, while hospice nurses have already begun a seven-day walkout — all as Sutter Health eyes a potential acquisition. Attorney General Keith Ellison’s office sues two developers accused of exploiting Somali Muslims with predatory “interest-free” contracts disguised as deeds. And in a landmark moment, St. Cloud’s DQ becomes the first Somali-American to win the Acme Comedy Club’s Funniest Person Contest — joining a legacy that includes Nick Swardson.
