‘Fork in the road’: Fraud finder David Hoch issues dire warning to Minnesotans as elections loom David Hoch, the fraud researcher featured in Nick Shirley's viral videos about suspected fraud in Minnesota, spoke with Liz Collin on her podcast. Hoch, who hasn't stopped investigating fraud in all its forms in Minnesota and beyond, says now is a pivotal time in America — especially with the midterm elections coming up. He spoke about some of the latest issues he’s investigating, how his family has disowned him, and how Minnesotans and Americans are standing "at that fork in the road." "You gotta decide ... either with me and you support what I do, or you're against me and you oppose what I do — and you support fraud and you support the destruction of our country," Hoch said.

FLASHBACK: Alpha News and former reporter @psamsundar received several emails back in 2016 from Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, the man at the center of the Ilhan Omar marriage controversy. In those emails, he claimed: “no way am I affiliated with anyone in your articles. Nor do I recall being married to anyone. At least, from what I remember.” When asked in an interview last night if she married her brother, Omar responded: “Not to my knowledge.” Now, a Fox News report and a new DOJ document say Ilhan Omar’s real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, an issue Alpha News first began exposing a decade ago.

'This is our home': Tad Jude's Minnesota campaign ad goes viral, draws national attention Beneath the nostalgia of the ad is a pointed political message: Minnesotans feel as though "we came home one day and the house had been rearranged" because those in power "stopped answering to us."
