Vikings head coach Kevin OConnell confirms Carson Wentz will start against the Bears, with J.J. McCarthy on standby—despite Kyler Murray’s concussion protocol status after a hard hit in his debut. Murray walked off on his own but remains sidelined as the team monitors his recovery day by day. Wentz’s veteran experience ultimately tipped the starting nod, a decision O’Connell says they’ll reevaluate weekly.

St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her responds to an independent investigation that cleared her of sexual harassment and retaliation claims, calling the leak of confidential HR findings damaging to her family and public trust. Despite cooperating fully, she acknowledged past missteps in communication and humor, pledging to lead with greater clarity and respect. While police chief’s attorney demands full transparency, the city says it will follow legal protocols before releasing the report — which remains sealed from public view.

An insider whistleblower has exposed a shocking fraud scandal at two Somali-owned autism centers in Minnesota, alleging systemic deception and lack of oversight. Grant Morgan, who worked briefly at Milestone Development Center and Spectrum Therapy Center, claims no qualified professionals were on staff, session notes weren’t required for billing, and some clients didn’t even have autism—raising alarms about fraudulent Medicaid billing. He says he documented his concerns via email and text, but was ignored by owners. The owner, Nimco Ahmed, linked to Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan, denies wrongdoing, claiming compliance with state regulations. DHS has confirmed both centers are under investigation and have been terminated from Medicaid—though they may still operate illegally. Morgan, motivated by his faith, warns that while new licensing rules are a start, many unscrupulous centers are still active and slipping through the cracks.
