.@Michele_Tafoya is turning Minnesota into a battleground state! Volunteer, donate and door knock and let’s get Michele over the goal line.
BATTLE FOR MINNESOTA: @Garrett_FoxNews reports live from Minneapolis on how the U.S. Senate race in Minnesota is suddenly turning into a high-stakes battleground. Republican nominee and former sports broadcaster Michele Tafoya is putting pressure on Democratic nominee and Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, focusing heavily on a massive fraud scandal that unfolded under the Walz administration. While Flanagan has distanced herself from the oversight failures, national Republican leaders like Senate Majority Leader John Thune note that the state is emerging as a prime opportunity to put Democrats on the defensive as both sides clash over inflation, national policies, and accountability.

DFL Rep. Kristi Pursell (58A) says Teddy Roosevelt endorsed her - cute costume. But TR spent his whole presidency hunting down waste & demanding answers for every dollar of public money. That's not really the DFL brand right now, is it? Minnesotans already have #9Billion reasons to vote red this November. This just adds another one to the pile. #mnleg #RealRoughRider

Despite the frustration with Clickergate that I share with many, I really did enjoy the @mngop State Convention. I look forward to going again. But apparently I will have to get a better gift for my daughters next time. I thought the @TadJude_MN03 mini state flag was plenty!

Is Walz going on a media tour to lie about his knowledge of the fraud in an attempt to repair his image? At his level, you only make this move if you need a job after politics. The indictments are incoming, and he’s repairing his image for the court of public opinion and a potential jury pool. He’s a lame duck governo, who the hell wants to talk to him?
🚨 JIMMY KIMMEL: Did it take a long time for you to know fraud was happening? TIM WALZ: It happens in other states! Trump used it as an EXCUSE! It was perfect for him to do. Demonize the Somali community! We ARE a generous state! Tim Walz should just resign. What a DISGRACE and SICK excuse for a governor! H/t @RNCResearch

What in the actual shit is this? This man is so far gone he’s living in another dimension.
Walz establishes council to document 'the Truth' about immigration enforcement efforts in Minnesota The governor, who has repeatedly lambasted Operation Metro Surge, will appoint 13 of the council's 15 members. On the Minnesota Secretary of State's website, the council is referred to as the "Minnesota Truth Council."

If the establishment fought as hard for the SAVE America Act as they do for a weak incumbent who spent $100 million only to be rejected by nearly 60% of GOP voters, it would already be law. It's sad incumbent protection is more important than advancing President Trump's agenda.

This is what panic looks like. But as always, I'm sure no one will be held accountable, except for the pawns.
🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Josh Hawley just pushed for a CRIMINAL INDICTMENT against Minnesota AG Keith Ellison because he tried HELPING fraudster avoid being caught "You took $10,000 from them 9 days after the meeting!" "YOU helped fraudsters defraud the state of $9B, and you got a FAT campaign contribution out of it! You ought to be INDICTED!" "They BEGGED you to help them — and YOU AGREED TO IT! It's ALL ON TAPE." "You said: send me the names of these folks investigating them. YOU SAID IT. 'I'll take the list, call the person at Education, and say, what's going on?!'" "They CAME to you asking for help getting investigators off their backs!" "Why'd you do it, why'd you help them?!" ELLISON: "I didn't do it!" HAWLEY: "That's not you? Is that a ventriloquist?! BS!" He's right, Ellison MUST be held accountable!

🚨Everyone needs to read and share. @BasedMikeLee sums up the Senate dysfunction perfectly. The American people should be in an uproar over this. It’s time we start making some noise, peacefully, of course.
Want to know how we got here—with Schumer trying to defund ICE and DHS unless we hogtie their ability to enforce immigration law? Senate Democrats used the Zombie Filibuster to seize the control panel the Senate—at a time when Republicans hold the majority Many insist that we had no choice but to give them the wheel (or the pen) because “we can’t pass a bill without 60 votes” and we have only 53 Republicans That oft-repeated mantra—which so many of us (myself included) believed for years—is built on a lie It’s a lie backed up by a desire to make the Senate function comfortably—in some ways more like a retirement home than a hard-charging legislative body Today’s Senate is often described—mostly by its own members—as “the world’s greatest deliberative body” That self-congratulatory title is one that the Senate once earned and deserved, but can no longer truthfully claim without violating even the most lenient truth-in-advertising standards Sure, it takes 60 votes to bring debate to a close But that’s not the only way to end a filibuster Another method exists—one that doesn’t depend on the 60-vote cloture rule—it just hasn’t been used in a long time It involves exhausting senators who want to filibuster—by making them actually speak Schumer and the Senate Democrats achieved sweeping wins with this spending package, coercing many Republicans to go along with them, without actually filibustering Or even having to speak Or even spend more than a few seconds on the Senate floor This, of course, is 🦇💩 🤪 Americans have had it with this game—because it sucks It’s time to Make Elections Matter Again It’s time to Make America’s Borders Enforceable Again It’s time, my fellow Americans, to Make Our Senators Speak Again Down with the Zombie Filibuster Restore the Talking Filibuster Please ask where your senators stand on this—and let them know your take!

👀’s on the fraud folks. That's the talking point, not ICE. There's no way on God's Green Earth that Amy Klobuchar, the Smurph Queen, didn't know about it. And she’ll likely appoint Walz to fill her term.
🚨 BREAKING: Deputy AG Todd Blanche just confirmed there is an INTENTIONAL DISTRACTION going on in Minnesota As soon as the fraud scandal blew up with Nick Shirley and others in Minnesota — "Suddenly, IT TURNED, on a dime, all about ICE." "We have a massive underground fraud network operating in Minneapolis, and we had a very strong pushback, very strong pushback, when we raised our hands and said stop." "And so, yes, we have multiple investigations going on. We sent prosecutors from Justice. We sent prosecutors from other U.S. Attorney's offices all over the country. And we're making progress every day!"

Why am I not surprised?
House GOP leadership is trying to shut down the SAVE ACT / SAVE AMERICA ACT being attached to a rule that would FORCE the Senate to vote to secure our elections. To be clear, they are trying to change how legislation is passed because they know that this legislation, “as is,” would fail. So they are then going to open it up to all Democrats. They need 2/3 of a supermajority of the House to pass it. I am a hard no and will never vote for this. I am not voting for any of these appropriations unless the SAVE Act is included. The SAVE Act / SAVE AMERICA ACT will fail in the Senate if it is not attached to an appropriations bill or if THUNE does not remove the filibuster. They know this. Members of Congress know this. STOP BEING WEAKLINGS! EITHER YOU INCLUDE VOTER ID ON THE RULE GOING TO THE SENATE OR I AM A NO ON RULES.

If you want Minnesota to flip red in 2026, you need to run to be a delegate. The endorsed candidates are the ones who make the November ballot. Show up and make sure we nominate the strongest possible ticket. Precinct caucuses are Tuesday, February 3rd.

LETS GO! @chiproytx & @BasedMikeLee. Future generations of Americans are already thanking you for saving this Republic. Pass the SAVE America Act Now!🇺🇸🗽
At President Trump’s suggestion, @chiproytx and I have renamed the SAVE Act and added a Voter ID provision The new and improved SAVE Act is now the “SAVE America Act” The SAVE America Act is aptly named—because it will save America!
