Minnesota's Democratic Senate nominee pointed the finger at Gov. Tim Walz when pressed on a fraud scandal that federal investigators say could exceed $9 billion, and critics from both parties say she cannot credibly separate herself from an administration she helped lead for seven years. Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Thursday, days after winning her Senate primary on Tuesday night. Asked directly whether she bears any personal responsibility for the massive fraud that unfolded on her watch, Flanagan declined to claim any. Instead, she cited Walz's own words. Flanagan told the hosts that "the governor says the buck stops with him, more should have been done sooner, and I agree." She added that "100 people…Open
AI:Minnesota Democratic Senate nominee and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan attempted to dodge accountability for a massive $9 billion fraud scandal by shifting blame toward Governor Tim Walz during an MSNBC interview.

Vice President JD Vance is pushing Republican lawmakers to write the White House Anti-Fraud Task Force's gains into permanent law, warning that without legislation, a future Democratic president could dismantle everything the task force has built. Vance convened a roundtable Wednesday in the Indian Treaty Room of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building with Republican senators, representatives, and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller. The message was blunt: executive action alone cannot protect $56 billion in halted fraudulent payments or prevent the next administration from reopening the spigot. Congress needs to act before the window closes. The vice president framed the task force's work as substantial but structurally…Open
