Thanks to #Trump's misinformation and vaccine conspiracy theories, America has reached its highest annual measles cases in 35 years, yet #RepFinstad has FAILED to speak out about the outbreak in the First District (i.e. #Fillmore County)? #MakeAmericaHealthyAgain ? lasvegassun.com/news/2026/oc...

FinstadWatch: ProPublica unmasked real SNAP benefits fraud, which occurs when organized crime is able to steal money from SNAP benefits cards. If Finstad was serious about fraud he would vote to beef up SNAP card security; not just cut people's benefits. www.propublica.org/article/snap...

❤️❤️❤️

#FinstadWatch #MN01 #RepFinstad frequently tweets about #fraud, yet somehow has NOT posted about the 76 individuals and $490 million in alleged tax fraud schemes FYI #IRS has seen a net reduction of 240 in criminal investigation job series since Jan. 20, 2025. www.justice.gov/opa/pr/dojs-...

Absolutely 👇

I'm attending Minnesota DFL 2026 Coordinated Campaign's event, “Get Out The Vote Doorknock with Central Neighbors & Omar Fateh!” - sign up now to join m www.mobilize.us/dflcc/event/...

FinstadWatch: Has anyone heard Congressman Finstad or any of the Minnesota Rebpulican Congressman speak out against President Trump’s and Elon Musk’s betrayal of Ukraine? Musk is certainly turning on the money spigot for some of the area Republicans.

FinstadWatch: With all his fraud talk and small business talk, why hasn’t Finstad said a thing about the SBA’s suspension of 6,900 Minnesota borrowers over suspected fraud in the COVID-era PPP and EIDL small business lending programs. Do you think it’s because his business got PPP loans twice?

FinstadWatch: In their recent televised debate Cong. Finstad lied about his opponent, Jake Johnson claiming: “He's accepting Tim Walz and George Soros money to the tune of $5 Million.” Fact checkers found no evidence of Soros money, and Governor Walz’ PAC gave $3,500. Lies! Signs of desperation!

Trump opened a hotline to report people who defraud the government. Meanwhile, he's pardoned 70+ fraudsters — including a nursing home owner who stole $1.3B+ from Medicare and Medicaid. Many pardons only came after their family members gave to Trump's Super PAC. Hello?

Can this be true? The absurdity of it all ...

#RepFinstad likes to write complaint letters. #Trump TEMPORARILY DEFERRED the federal excise tax (roughly 24.4 cents per gallon) and waived IRS penalties for using red-dyed off-road diesel on public highways through December 31, 2026. Defer means Pay Me After #Elections2026 #FinstadWatch

Another day, another fundraising appeal from the #FinstadForCongress campaign worrying that "outside Soros money that’s been pouring in against me" (which is exposing his votes and failures). #RepFinstad wants more cash even though his latest FEC filing reports $1,110,448.63 cash on hand; no debt

FinstadWatch: Why is there so much attention to the “Feeding Our Future” allegations of fraud, and so little to the more prevalent (and also from the COVID-recovery era) suspected PPP fraud? The PPP fraudsters were small businesses, farmers and bankers, and likely include many Republicans.[2 of 3].

Just curious, would you expect a congressman to speak out when there has been on measles outbreak in his district ? Somebody should ask #RepFinstad when #MakeAmericaHealthyAgain will make a positive impact in #MN01 www.kttc.com/2026/10/08/s...

#FinstadWatch Considering that Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) has severely impacted #Minnesota turkey flocks and the #TrumpAdministration appears to be ignoring #RepFinstad's request, is anyone surprised by Politico's report on how to address Avian Flu #FinstadFailsFarmers #TimeForChange in #MN01

FYI #RepFinstad has a Leadership PAC, #FieldOfDreamsPAC, which he takes money and sends it to candidates he wants to work with. Industries include #ethanol producers (Poet, Growth Energy), #biofuels (Daniel Sonnek), #pork producers (Greg Howard is employed by #ChristensenFarms) #DonorOwned

The richest man owns X. The second richest man owns The Washington Post. The third and fifth richest men control Google. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And the eighth richest man now owns both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Did you read the story about the House allowing Members to used taxpayer dollars for meals and lodging in DC ? #RepFinstad Members' Representational Allowance (MRA) indicates 1Q2026 $230.01 Meals $7,882.94 Lodging 2Q2026 $485.96 Meals $10,103.04 Lodging www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

FinstadWatch: FinstadWatch: I’ll repeat myself. Do Republicans like Finstad realize that by harping on the issue of fraud in Minnesota, they also bring more attention to the Trump family fraud and grifting going on? The Minnesota fraudsters are mere pikers compared to Trump's family and associates.

FinstadWatch: Trump yesterday: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?" This is the man that Cong. Finstad is afraid of speaking out against; a man so ignorant that it hurts.

Samuel Alito flew flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the Jan 6 plot. Both ruled in favor of Trump's mail-in ballot sabotage. I don't think I'll ever get over this.

Don’t believe the lies. Trump is *not* selling $2.8 billion of bombs for Israel’s genocide. It’s worse. Trump is *giving away* $2.8 billion of bombs for Israel’s genocide. American taxpayers are paying for those bombs.

Sounds like the basis for a question for the upcoming @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social and #RepFinstad #MN01 candidate debate ! #EpsteinFiles, #FinstadCanadaTradeWar, #FinstadIranWar are topics that are timely for the #KAALTV event. Submit your debate questions ... www.kaaltv.com/news/minneso...

FinstadWatch: Apparently Cong. Finstad showed up at the second day of the Trump-A-Pa-Looza, but thought he could walk a fine line by not attending Trump’s speech. In the process he pissed off conservative activists. There’s no fine line with Trump, Congressman, you’ve enabled him for two years.

#FinstadWatch #RepFinstad 2024 campaign theme was to LOWER costs for #MN01 families 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was 6.49% August 2024 versus 6.78% today UP The consumer price inflation rate was 2.6% for August 2024 versus 3.6% today UP #FinstadFlashback #BradFinstad youtu.be/jsU_A-hfyqk?...

BREAKING Sept 9 2026 The Committee SAVE AMERICAN FREEDOM (below) has filed FEC paperwork to spend $50,000 to support #RepFinstad and oppose @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social I guess all that concern from #BradFinstad about out-of-state #DarkMoney can be ignored jaeger.substack.com/p/letlow-sup...

Ya gotta wonder if #MN01 #RepFinstad has failed to sponsor #HR4805 “Warrior Impact from Neurological and G-Force Stress Act” or the “WINGS Act” is because there would be a cost of the analysis and then the cost in providing services for effected #veterans www.militarytimes.com/news/your-na...

Did you see the announcement from #RepFinstad that he was "honored to receive the #FaithandFreedom Friend of the Family Award" ? Yet did #BradFinstad object to the #TrumpAdministration creating a video game where players chase, capture, deport immigrants? www.christianitytoday.com/2026/09/trum...

#FinstadWatch #MN01 voting starting 9/18 Almost a month after #JakeJohnsonMN received the endorsement from National Farmers Union, the #MNFarmBureau endorses #RepFinstad (guess they are still waiting on the #BradFinstad promised #FarmBill) The #FinstadForCongress issues a fundraising appeal

BREAKING Another poll offers #GoodNews / #BadNews for #RepFinstad A Quantus Insights poll in has #MN01 disapproving #Trump (49%) but 48% would support #MicheleTafoya over #PeggyFlanagan 46% FYI #Elections2024 Trump won the district by 12%; the #MNGOP Senate candidate got 48% to #DFL winner at 49%

#FinstadWatch #RepFinstad would never want to talk about #TrumpPardons but a lot of #MN01 constituents will be after this SUNDAY's #60Minutes Leslie Stahl story entitled The Pardon Economy. Another issue that @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social is resonating www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

What an ass this man is! Just because he can afford a dozen kids doesn't mean everyone can.

In an internal letter, Lonnie Bunch told Smithsonian employees to press on despite the attack from the White House. trib.al/CfbjHui

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

#FinstadWatch While the Johnson campaign has to pay facility rentals for their #TownHall, #RepFinstad uses TAXPAYER monies for his #TeleTownHall events. $4,402.70 paid to Amplify on June 3 2026 to screen for #BradFinstad via his #MRA #MembersRepresentationalAllowance #TimeForChange in #MN01

BREAKING August 31 2026 The #RulesCommittee establishes what is voted on (legislative bills and amendments) so #RepFischbach is a very powerful woman #RepFischbach voted AGAINST allowing a floor vote for #HR7206, the Farm and Family Relief Act which would provide relief for #MN07 #FamilyFarms

If you know anyone with family members assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division, please extend appreciation for their service as some will have their deployments extended. Has #RepFinstad considered the costs to #MilitaryFamilies due to the #FinstadIranWar ? www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...

#FinstadWatch #FinstadFails #MN01 Watch your mailboxes for a TAX-PAYER paid mass mailing from #RepFinstad highlighting his "accomplishments" #RepFinstad wants credit for getting $1.05 million in funding for a water tower in #EagleLake ... #FinstadFailed to mention that he requested $5 million

#FinstadWatch Just curious, #RepFinstad is always citing #Fraud allegations yet has anyone heard #BradFinstad acknowledge the $570,000 in political contributions made by #GOP supporter Brant Frost IV ? Ref : First Liberty Building & Loan LLC ponzi scheme www.justice.gov/usao-ndga/pr...

Did anyone expect a multi-millionaire like #BradFinstad would talk to anyone who wasn't in his economic circle ? I have lost count of the number of consultants the #FinstadForCongress team employs but those are the people that are telling #RepFinstad what he thinks. #TimeForChange in #MN01

Just curious, has anyone followed up with #RepPeteStauber on his health ( long covid ) since he missed the Roll Call votes today (Monday August 31 2026) -- the first day the House has been in legislative session since July 23. File under #MN08 #StauberWatch #TrinaForCongress #TrinaSwanson

FinstadWatch: The MN Republican Party’s platform section on foreign policy states: “We oppose United States participation in the United Nations.” They support the right of Israel and Taiwan to defend themselves, but make no mention of Ukraine’s right to defend itself! Why just those two nations?
