This could have.... and should have been the end of it. It was obvious to anyone with a brain then.

Dear rest of the world, If you want to know why the US elected Trump given all the things you know about him, the reason is that America has tens of millions of people as ignorant as this. We just aren't a very smart country as a whole. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Context: The incumbent, Brad Finstad, only holds "town halls" a) by phone, b) by invitation only, and c) the invitation is texted to you (if you're selected) about an hour before the call. Finstad does not serve MN-01. His entire tenure has been a grift.

If you're going to choose a life of public service, you might actually want to meet with the public once in a while.

NEW POLL ALERT: Jake Johnson has officially taken the lead in the FiftyPlusOne polling average over Rep. Brad Finstad. Jake is a highschool teacher who took the Political Integrity Pledge while Brad has received nearly half a million in corporate cash since 2024.

FinstadWatch: If you wonder why military contractor waste and fraud never merits a mention in Congressman Finstad’s public blathering, look at his PAC contributors. He’s currently awash in contributions from corporations he should be overseeing in his role on the House Armed Services Committee.

Brad Finstad took $23,000 tied to the Chinese Communist Party, including from a data center lobbyist. I'm calling on him to return it.

NEW: A new attack ad by Rep. Brad Finstad (R-Minn.) uses a photo of MN small biz owner Beth Benike -- who says he's ignored her pleas for help with Trump's tariffs -- except he erased her + subbed in a fake image of Gov. Tim Walz. "You've got to be kidding me." www.huffpost.com/entry/gop-re...

No responsible news outlet should go to the White House as long as this ban on their colleagues is in effect. It’s time for big media to show some backbone. Also, any apologies about that embarrassing WHCA dinner yukking it up with Trump and his apparatchiks? www.nytimes.com/2026/09/19/b...

nytimes.comCNN and MS NOW Reporters Barred From White House After Trump Announces BanThe prohibition on certain journalists was a stark escalation in President Trump’s war on the media, and will probably face a legal challenge.

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.

As #BradFinstad drives the streets of his hometown #NewUlmMN, he will see signs that gasoline is $4.188/ gallon while farmers who need diesel for their tractors pay more ($5.785), does anyone believe $2.00 will ever happen (IF so, bet your $5,000 #Trump Dividend on it) www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

The current Republican Led Congress should hold their collective heads in utter shame for confirming the most incompetent, corrupt, and dangerous Cabinets in our history. Their punishment is being removed from office in November by THE PEOPLE

Texas rep. Ann Johnson truth-slams the most cowardly, corrupt and racist state government in America today: "If you knew you could win this next election, you wouldn't be taking all this effort to try to steal five seats from elected officials that members of color elected to represent them."

I've accepted a debate invitation from KAAL! I've spent this campaign showing up, listening, and answering unscreened questions in every corner of our district, and I'm looking forward to continuing to do that on the debate stage.

No one ever accused Tennessee Republicans of being smart. Ever. But it's ok, They got loads of cash. Just no money for education, medical, and food. Well, Tennessee whiskey is king. There's even a song about it.

Alternet: The fiasco around the USS Abraham Lincoln has seen Trump's disrespect for the military reach new lows, and some troops have finally had enough and are letting their disgust be known. How anyone in the military supports Trump at this point, is beyond me. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Home Depot has been Trump friendly forever. Screw 'em. If anyone was wondering how so many German bankers and industrialists rolled over for a contemptible fascist named Hitler, this is exactly how.🙄

Lisa Demuth’s health care record consists of blocking prescription drug discounts at the request of Big Pharma lobbyists and rubber stamp support for Donald Trump’s Medicaid cuts. Maybe that’s why she still hasn’t released a health care plan.

More than 750 servicemembers wounded and another 18 dead. Trump and Hegseth have failed and refuse to take accountability. They have no idea what they’re doing, and it’s made our country weaker and you less safe.

Reminder... Any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message — they can't win on their ideas alone.

Today’s Civics Lesson Dr. Fauci honoring a congressional subpoena and then taking the Fifth Amendment: an example of someone respecting both Congress and the Constitution. Jim Jordan ignoring a congressional subpoena: an example of someone showing contempt for Congress. Lesson over.

So great to host a town hall meeting in Mankato tonight! Like all of our town halls, there was no screening of people or questions, so I’m truly grateful to the nearly 200 people who showed up to have their voice be heard!

He lied. Yet another major scandal for the Trump regime. Everyone involved should be fired and brought up on charges.

BASH: But it peeled off. Why did that happen? BURGUM: It didn't peel off. There was vandalism. There was box cutters. There have been 7 arrests. BASH: There are photographs of people cutting a 350 foot gash in the reflecting pool? BURGUM: Dana, I'm not sure why you keep questioning it

Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.

No one can ever believe anything Trump pledges, says or puts in writing. With Trump, a deal is never a deal and nobody can count on the US for anything while he’s president. His word is garbage, agreements mean nothing, and he lies about everything.
