How long will #MN01 #RepFinstad wait to demand action against Young Republicans who mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers?
They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide.

#MN #SenTinaSmith has sponsored #S2965 No Argentina Bailout Act to block #Trump’s bailout of #Argentina

How can #RepFinstad defend US financial aid to a foreign government and proclaim that “It’s time to get serious about the fiscal health of OUR country" ?

#FinstadVotes depend upon who is President ... under #Trump he supports #ContinuingResolution but under Biden he would vote AGAINST funding #Agriculture and #VeteransAffairs funding ( #HR7463 FY24 Extension of Continuing Appropriations) and even voted AGAINST extending the #FarmBill 11/14/23 #HR6363

In May 2025, #RepFinstad received over $19,000 campaign contributions from #AIPAC
Wanna bet the American #Israel Public Affairs Committee, which is a pro-Israel lobbying group, will be investing more in #MN01 #BradFinstad after his tweet ?

Kaiser Family Foundation reported the rate varies by congressional district
A 60-year-old couple making $85,000, #MN01 $1,263.96 will experience the highest increase

Since #RepFinstad is on another #DistrictWorkPeriod, would that be the time for him to hold a townhall

Gotta ask when other Republicans are speaking up about the #TrumpAdministrations decision to send $20Billion in aid to Argentina (which is cutting deals to sell #soybeans) why has #RepFinstad remained silent.

Full funding for Individuals with Disabilities was always something that retired Education Committee Chairman John Kline (GOP #MNCD2) advocated
Now the effort is being led by #MN08 #RepPeteStauber and #MN02 #RepAngieCraig

WHY hasn't #MN01 #RepFinstad sponsored #HR2598 IDEA Full Funding Act 2025

This morning, House Republicans blocked a vote on #OH13 #RepEmiliaSykes bipartisan #HR2017 Pay Our Military Act to ensure that service men and women continue to receive pay during a #GovernmentShutdown.

WHY didn't #RepFinstad sponsor HR2017

The farmers of this country voted for good government, not no government.
The farmers I know and am related to did not vote to become welfare tenants of land owned by the banks.

#RepFinstad tweeted that "hardworking Minnesotans are paying the price" ignoring that #MAGARepublicans have FAILED to Do Their Job.

Since July 23, the House has only held legislative votes on 12 DAYS and they will not return to DC until Oct 14 at the earliest.

#MAGARepublicans have FAILED to Do Their Job of funding the Government (which was to be completed by June 30 and now want an extension until Nov 21 to get it done)

Since July 23, the House has only held legislative votes on TWELVE DAYS and they will not return to DC until Oct 14 at the earliest.

Think this is a winning campaign message ?
"We are tired of watching billionaires hoard power while families can’t afford groceries”

#SpecialElection in #TN07 is definitely a possible Democrat pick-up based on the strong Dem primary participation

#Soybeans is one commodity but #TrumpEconomicPolicy (especially #TrumpTariffs) have hurt all farmers and ranchers leading to almost doubling of Chapter12 bankruptcy filings in our region

House proposed #HR4121 includes a 7% CUT to Farm Service Agency staff. FSA is involved with loans for farmers.

Our congressman hasn’t done enough for our soybean farmers, and everyone is starting to notice. This is a powerful editorial in the Mankato Free Press about how Washington’s trade policies (and lack thereof) have created such a mess for southern Minnesota.

@jimmcgovernma.bsky.social asked #VirginiaFoxx who was presiding over the House in pro forma to allow AZ Dem Rep.-Elect Adelia Grijalva to be sworn in on the next legislative day. Foxx does not recognize him & gavels out the House.

They are so afraid of this they won’t seat a newly elected Congresswoman from AZ to keep it from happening.
The image is a screenshot of an X post from the account @Re... (Really American) dated 11 hours ago, claiming that Speaker Johnson has refused to swear in newly-elected Democratic Rep. Grijalva, who is described as the decisive 218th vote needed for a discharge petition to release the Epstein files. The post questions the reason for the delay. The image also includes a video still labeled "EXCLUSIVE" from Meidastouch Network, featuring Rep.-elect Grijalva, with text stating she is ready to sign the discharge petition. The background shows campaign materials with her name and slogans like "Se hizo historia!"
