Demuth Meets with Walz & Dems Behind Closed Doors to give MN Massive Debt

Following a closed door meeting featuring Tim Walz, Lisa Demuth, and Democrat legislative leaders to discuss giving Minnesota hundreds of millions to billions of dollars worth of debt to fund pet projects for politicians, Empty Suit Lisa 'Kamala' Demuth said she was “encouraged by the levels of alignment” she was in with her fishing buddy Tim Walz and Democrats. Democrat House leader Zack Stephenson also stated that a debt bill was a priority for all in the meeting. See below:
Lisa Demuth stood right by Stephenson and did not dispute what he said. This confirms what A4L has been warning about: Demuth is not governing like a conservative and will help advance the Democrat’s big government agenda. The bonding bill is the typical tool of crony politicians to give the state debt to fund various pet projects. While most normal people do not spend money when they run out, the government goes in debt to keep taxes and spending high.
The day before this meeting, GOP legislators attempted to impeach Walz and Ellison. Demuth has refused to take a position on it.
As seen in previous A4L reporting, Tim Walz’ bonding plan includes demolishing the historic Centennial Building years early with an estimated 80% of material going to be scrapped instead of giving it immediate reuse, increasing security at the Capitol, and renovating buildings to give politicians/bureaucrats cushier offices. He also wants to spend over $5.5M repainting some windows at the Capitol, though his plan decides to steal it from the general fund.
Tim Walz is looking to benefit crooked politicians and bureaucrats as one of his final moves as Governor! This should be rejected outright as an unserious proposal. Minnesota taxpayers are struggling and crooked politicians are prioritizing their office space above them.
Notably absent from this meeting was GOP Senate Leader Mark Johnson (SD1). Sources at the Capitol tell A4L that Johnson was not invited so he grabbed a baseball glove and went outside by Walz’ office windows to play catch.
A bonding bill requires 3/5ths support of both chambers in order to pass. A simple majority does not cut it and the vote would have to be bipartisan due to the tied house and one seat Democrat Senate majority. By excluding the GOP Senate from negotiations, they have no incentive to go along with the Walz/Demuth secret agenda. If Senate Republicans stand strong and oppose the disrespectful power-grab by Demuth and Democrats, MN may be able to avoid more debt.
As seen in the clip above, when Demuth was asked for details on what bonding bill projects the GOP was prioritizing, she refused to answer and would not give specifics! She refuses to give transparency over the closed-door meeting with Tim Walz and is still trying to fool people into thinking she is a conservative in her Governor campaign.
In a previous press conference, Demuth stated that MN "doesn’t have money right now and that is a choice that was made over time” however she leaves out that SHE was the one who made the choice to waste away our tax dollars! Demuth voted for every single bill in 2025 that was signed into law by Walz and it amounted to the 2nd LARGEST budget in MN history with new projections showing cost will total $70.2B.
Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB) has set a maximum amount of $1.1B that can be bonded this year. In 2025, RINOs and Democrats passed a $700M bonding bill and that was the maximum amount they could put our state in debt. Walz, Demuth, and Democrats are likely looking to spend every penny they can so we should not be shocked if they try to give MN over a billion dollars worth of debt.

Democrats Block Impeachment of Walz & Ellison while Complaining about A4L Influence

Action 4 Liberty lives rent free in the minds of crooked politicians at the Capitol because they know A4L will always expose their corruption. RINOs and radical leftists know that A4L has broad support among grassroots conservatives and we will prioritize nothing above truth and liberty. This acknowledgement of A4L influence/leadership took place in the House Rules Committee while debating a resolution to investigate impeachment articles against Tim Walz and Keith Ellison.
The massive, multi-billion dollar fraud scandal that has been exposed in Minnesota took place because of the incompetence and corruption of two individuals: Tim Walz and Keith Ellison. Impeachment becomes the only option when all other strategies have been exhausted. Articles of Impeachment must originate in the State House and be confirmed by the State Senate.
As seen in our previous reporting and petitions, Action 4 Liberty has long known that these two have acted in a rogue, unconstitutional, and flagrantly pro-fraud fashion and has led the movement to see them impeached. From Walz’ tyrannical abuse of Emergency Powers in Covid to the fraud scandal we see now, A4L has been the consistent voice for Constitutional conservatives and the legislature has taken notice. In 2021, then-State Rep, now-A4L President Erik Mortensen introduced Articles of Impeachment against Tampon Tim himself for "unconstitutional lockdowns"! A4L has been leading on this issue for years!
The House Rules Committee combined the Walz impeachment effort (HR6) by Rep. Mike Wiener (5B) and the Ellison impeachment effort (HR7) by Rep. Ben Davis (6A) into a single motion. This resolution required that the Republican-controlled Fraud Committee investigate the accusations expressed in the resolution. See full resolution below:


Rather than debate the Resolution for its own claims and merits, Democrats chose to obfuscate and bring up Donald Trump every chance they got. Of course, the state legislature has no influence on impeaching a President but they have the Constitutional authority to impeach state executive officers like Governor and Attorney General. Democrats provided no defense to the claims leveled against Walz and Ellison, highlighting that they prioritize their party over MN taxpayers.
One Democrat, radical leftist Sydney Jordan (60A), accused the committee of “holding a political circus for Action 4 Liberty”! While most days in the legislature feature clowns engaging in a political circus, impeaching Walz and Ellison is the BEST use of time the legislature could engage in! Jordan’s comment also signifies that crooked politicians know A4L is paying attention and LEADING the impeachment effort against Walz and Ellison! See clip below:
The resolution did not advance to the Fraud Committee following a vote of 8-8, with all Republicans supporting the motion and all Democrats opposing it. Rules Committee members can be seen here and the full committee meeting/Resolution debate can be seen here. Of course, GOP members voted in lockstep because they know how critical this question is to their base. Several GOP members of the House, including Speaker and Governor candidate Lisa Demuth, has refused to take a position on this issue thus far.
Following the committee vote, a press conference was held with several members of the MN Freedom Caucus and supporters of the legislation to discuss what took place. The Freedom Caucus, was attacked by several Democrat members for promoting the Resolution and it being presented to the committee. The MN Freedom Caucus is led by Minnesota State Director and 2025 A4L Top Activist award recipient Paul Tuschy.
If crooked politicians would've listened to A4L from the beginning, Tim Walz would've been long gone years ago! Walz would've never been able to conduct his multi-billion dollar fraud operation or have been selected as Kamala Harris' VP candidate. Instead, spineless RINOs and radical Democrats have given Walz a pass for years.
Action 4 Liberty is appreciative of Wiener and Davis pushing this Resolution, especially since A4L has previously had to expose Davis for misrepresenting himself on the House floor, ironically on the question of Keith Ellison's budget. Action 4 Liberty is the proven leader of the conservative movement in MN thanks to our unwavering pursuit to protect liberty for the next generation. A4L will continue providing Patriots with liberty-based reporting that cannot be found anywhere else.
The Radical Left’s Insane Wealth Tax Proposal

America is supposed to be the land of the free where you can make as much of yourself as possible being limited only by your own abilities. This belief was the norm for both political parties for decades. As our government has gotten bigger and more corrupt, Democrats have pivoted to a total surrender to the radical Socialist movement.
15 far left Democrats in the State House have proposed a bill (HF4616) that establishes a Socialist wealth tax in Minnesota. While most of these Democrats represent deep blue districts, Kari Rehrauer (35B) won her last election by just 1.22%. See below:

One might think Democrats are targeting multi-billionaires with this legislation but they are actually going after anyone with more than $10M in assets/wealth! This means that farmers and businesspeople with costly, heavy machinery will be run out of business! So much for the “Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party”...
This legislation is NOT targeting the Elitists, this legislation will strip small business owners of the limited profit they may have collected. This legislation will destroy Minnesota and successful farmers/businesspeople will flee the state. Once the state has less people to tax, politicians will turn to the middle and lower class for more money because government crooks think they’ve never got enough money. Of course, the wealth tax would only increase if implemented, highlighting why the legislation is so dangerous.
Perhaps a “Wealth Tax” needs to be imposed on Minnesota’s government instead of Minnesota’s citizens! The government has more power and money than any individual citizen! In fact, if you add up the total wealth of all Minnesota billionaires, it would equal about 1/6th of the biennial budget passed by the Minnesota legislature last year!
The Socialist wealth tax bill appeared before the House Taxes Committee and was laid over for possible inclusion in the tax omnibus bill. Since the legislation appears to have unanimous opposition from the GOP, it likely will not advance any further. If this is included in the omnibus tax bill, A4L will be sure to inform Minnesotans. The bill currently does not have a Senate companion either because Democrats do not want it on people’s radars or it does not have the full support of all Democrat legislators.
Big government Socialists want to strip Minnesotans of their hard-earned dollars and destroy the state from within. A4L will continue to provide Patriots with liberty-based reporting that cannot be found anywhere else.
RINO Dave Baker Helping Democrats Give $100M Reward to Sanctuary Cities for Deportations

In exchange for breaking federal law, protecting criminal illegal aliens, and allowing violent leftist mobs, corrupt politicians are trying to reward these localities with $100M. Of course, it would be expected that radical Democrats would be behind something like this but RINO State Rep. Dave Baker (16B) is joining in to support the legislation!
This bill, HF4477, would spend $100M giving grants to businesses “adversely affected by activities and events related to increased immigration in Minnesota beginning December 1, 2025”. This money will not be evenly distributed across Minnesota, bill authors say that they want 80% to go to the Metro area and say that Baker agreed to that split!
This bill received its first hearing in the House Labor Committee, of which Baker is a co-chair, on April 8th and featured testifiers like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Vang Her complaining about the economic impact of deportations conducted by ICE in Minnesota. While pointing no blame at sanctuary city policies or leftist riots in the streets, Democrats want Minnesota taxpayers to bail out the twin cities.
While a couple of Republicans asked about the potential for fraud, only one truly took it to Democrats and EVISCERATED their insane proposal. GOP Rep. Isaac Schultz (10B) took the bill authors to task and exposed their corrupt, pro-illegal alien, leftist agenda while Democrats Cedrick Frazier (43A) and Jay Xiong (67B) arrogantly pretended their proposal was non-political. Schultz wisely pointed out that taxpayers received no relief for Feeding Our Future which cost MN more tax dollars the supposed impact of Metro Surge. See at marked timestamp below below:
The bill was tabled in this committee so no vote was taken. The subject matter of the bill was then mentioned at the House Ways and Means Committee on April 13th where Mayors Her and Frey again testified, with Frey ironically calling ICE deportations an unconstitutional invasion. RINO Dave Baker took this time to suck up to Frey, let Frey trash ICE, let Frey pretend riots weren’t going on, prop up the leftist bailout plan, and even calling Minneapolis the “most amazing city in the state of Minnesota”! Baker also admitted that he hires illegal aliens in his business since he says he lost housekeepers (likely from the hotel he owns) due to ICE deportations in Minnesota. One has to wonder if Baker plans on getting one of the business grants he is helping create with this program.
Also in the Ways and Means committee, Baker made a fake capitalist argument by pointing out the economic impact of paid family medical leave but then implied that ICE deportations were another government imposed mandate. If the government imposing its will is the problem with the economy, then why would Baker’s solution be more government and bailouts? See the pathetic back and forth at the marked timestamp below:
A final version of the bill has not yet been completed so it may end up costing MORE than $100M!
There does not appear to be any other Republican who is openly supporting this legislation as of now. Since Republicans control the gavel in the House and can block bills if they vote as a block, this bill can be KILLED if RINO Dave Baker corrects course!
Baker has been a State Rep for over a decade and received a pathetic score of 29.17% in the 2025 A4L Scorecard and has a FAILING lifetime A4L score of 46.42%. This means Baker is more likely to vote for big government/less liberty than he is to vote against it on critical votes!
Minnesotans can contact their legislators and contact Dave Baker what they think of the wasteful, anti-ICE, and pro-illegal alien legislation, HF4477, he is supporting. See email address and office number below:
[email protected]
651-296-6206
Action 4 Liberty will never waiver in the mission to protect liberty for the next generation and we do not have liberty with open borders and massive bailouts due to deportations. Minnesota taxpayers continue to be ripped off thanks to radically corrupt politicians. A4L will continue providing Patriots with liberty-based reporting that cannot be found anywhere else.
Walz Wants to Give Keith Ellison More Tax Dollars to Supposedly Fight Fraud

Minnesota’s massive fraud scandal has been managed by a couple of fraudsters at the top: Tim Walz and Keith Ellison. Now, Tim Walz is proposing a supplemental budget to waste away your tax dollars giving Keith Ellison more money to supposedly fight fraud! Minnesota will NEVER defund fraud by funding the people who got us in this situation but Democrats do not really want to stop fraud anyway.
Walz released a supplemental budget that is advancing through the legislature in HF4883/SF5088. Three Democrats are serving as puppets for the Walz Administration to push this bill: Sen. Tou Xiong (SD44), Rep. Kristin Bahner (37B), and Rep. Mike Freiberg (43B).
Included in this bill is over $1.2M to go to Keith Ellison! They want us to think that Ellison would be able to stop fraud if he just had more money when he already has a bloated budget that he wastes in frivolous lawsuits against the Trump Administration. As seen in previous A4L reporting, RINO Jim Nash (48A) and other GOP St. Paul Swamp Creatures partnered with Democrats to give Ellison a budget INCREASE during the 2025 legislative session! He has more than enough money to run the office!
In addition to Ellison, Walz wants to dole out money to the MN Dept. of Administration, Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB), and the MN Dept. of Revenue. In total, this spending would cost nearly $5M.
It does not end there, this bill also attempts to tie the hands of legislators to prevent further exposure of fraud with nontransparent confidentiality rules. Additionally, they want to make reported figures by state agencies be LESS accurate by rounding to the nearest 0 or 5, allegedly due to the production of the penny being discontinued. By allowing exaggerated, inflated, or deflated figures to be reported from hundreds of state agencies, MN could face tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars missing since they will not be reported! This bill will lead to more fraud, not less!
When this bill was presented in front of the House State Government Committee, conservatives would’ve expected serious pushback from GOP Representatives. Instead, the only pushback given was from Tom Sexton (19B) over a provision in the bill that side-steps some regulatory framework for building a fence at the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension building. While this unrelated provision should not belong in this bill, there are bigger fish to fry like giving Ellison another $1.2M to waste away. All that GOP Committee Chair Jim Nash had to say was to compliment Democrat Kristin Bahner’s thoroughness in presenting the legislation. Other Republicans on the committee didn’t have a word to say about the bill. The discussion of this bill in committee can be seen here.
Conservatives are fed up with RINOs constantly caving to the left and giving them everything they want. The GOP controls the gavel in the House and can block legislation if they stand united. Tim Walz and Keith Ellison do not deserve another penny of MN tax dollars! We must defund the fraud, drastically cut spending & taxes, and return surplus money to taxpayers. A4L will continue to be the megaphone of the grassroots conservative movement in MN.
Violent Anti-ICE Leftists Attack Young Conservative Female in Minneapolis

The Left continues to devolve into raging lunatics and it is widespread across the Democrat Party. The assassination of Charlie Kirk showcased that many evil leftists justify violence and death if it serves their political interests. As captured on video at a “F*## ICE” riot, anti-ICE leftists attacked young conservative and Turning Point USA Savanah Hernandez by berating, cursing, attacking, shoving, blowing whistles at, and using sexual objects to hit her in the head. The left derangement continues to reach new lows.
Democrats and the media are always claiming that conservatives are violent but remain totally SILENT in cases where people like Savanah Hernandez are the victim. The left’s racism was on full display as they demanded Hernandez identify her race. This took place near the Whipple Building in Minneapolis and notably featured a man shoving Hernandez and she states she woke up with a headache, stiff neck, sore back, and scraped legs in the morning because of it. See video below:
This is now the second time I have been mobbed and assaulted for filming a protest on U.S. streets.
— Savanah Hernandez (@Savsays) April 11, 2026
Today these Minneapolis protesters were chanting that they were “ANTIFA” and proved it, by mobbing and beating me for reporting on a public protest: pic.twitter.com/EOhyg9AFME
The man has been identified as 51 year old Christopher Ostroushko of Prior Lake. His wife, 47 year old Deyanna Ostroushko, and daughter, 21 year old Paige Ostroushko, were also seen in videos shoving, screaming at, and using sexual objects to hit Savanah with. Many online have begun digging into who these people are and have discovered some very interesting facts.
In January 2026, Chris Ostroushko was featured in a Star Tribune puff-piece commending his profanity-filled anti-ICE rant that was captured on video. Chris was even featured on MSNBC with former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki ironically pushing a message of peace and harmony! See below:
Wow. Here's Chris Ostroushko on JEN PSAKI's show calling for "peace and harmony" in Minnesota a couple months ago.
— Savanah Hernandez (@Savsays) April 12, 2026
He was also featured in Minnesota's largest local papers, where he's quoted stating, “I’m not the rah, rah, get-in-your-face, yelling-and-screaming type of… https://t.co/fjSdu9Z1H6
Chris also has a history of committing fraud! Apparently it's not just Somalis in MN looking to rip off taxpayers, it's all leftists! See below:
INSANE UPDATE: Apparently Chris Ostroushko is also a Minnneapolis FRAUDSTER and was convicted of defrauding the state unemployment program back in the early 2000s.
— Savanah Hernandez (@Savsays) April 13, 2026
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?! https://t.co/vNStjcM4HG
Chris has a gecko breeding business called Leachie Lounge. Chris and his daughter Paige previously had social media accounts called “MN ANGRY DAD”. “MN ANGRY MAN” and “MN ANGRY DAUGHTER” but those have been wiped off of the internet since this incident! See below:
UPDATE: It looks like Paige Ostroushko has deactivated her Instagram account and is trying to scrub everything about herself off of the internet after her actions yesterday.
— Savanah Hernandez (@Savsays) April 12, 2026
She and her father's entire social media accounts were called "MN ANGRY FATHER" and "MN ANGRY DAUGHTER".… pic.twitter.com/VjbsoqcJk4
In an online video, Paige claims to be the victim and states the father of her boyfriend was deported to Mexico. It is known that Paige is a soccer player for the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
Savanah has also identified William Scott Kelly as the individual who incited the mob to attack her. See below:
On it https://t.co/0BHOdStP91
— AAGHarmeetDhillon (@AAGDhillon) April 11, 2026
Savanah has shown that not everyone in the Ostroushko family is insane and supportive of violence. Another one of Chris’ daughters has condemned the actions of her family and says the actions she say reinforces her decision to distance herself from them. While politics shouldn’t divide families, she is much better off by keeping away from her violent, mentally deranged leftist family members.
Charges are being filed by woke leftist Hennepin Prosecutor Mary Moriarty, who has chosen not to prosecute leftists in politically-motivated crimes like intentionally damaging Teslas. Hernandez cannot be assured that Moriarty will properly prosecute this case since her history shows she is also a radical leftist. Hernandez may instead look to FBI Director Kash Patel for justice since he has opened a federal criminal investigation. See below:
Thank you to Mike for elevating this to the highest levels of the government.
— Savanah Hernandez (@Savsays) April 12, 2026
For far too long, the violent left has been allowed to get away with repeated attacks on journalists. I’m looking forward to justice being served after what happened yesterday. https://t.co/nS1bjBw5mN
Action 4 Liberty commends Savanah Hernandez for the courage it took to expose the radical left at this riot. She has done our state and nation a service by recording what is really going on at these violent far-left events. Hernandez is continuing the legacy of Charlie Kirk and A4L appreciates her bold efforts!
MN Republicans Raised Spending But Take No Blame

Minnesota's massive spending and fraud issue is the fault of both Democrats and RINO legislators despite what Establishment Republicans are pushing. The state legislature has been corrupted into passing thousand-page omnibus spending bills that crooked politicians don’t even read. Though Democrats control all Executive positions in Minnesota and oversaw fraudulent payments, it was the legislature who appropriated the money in the first place.
Many Establishment RINOs have been sharing around a graphic highlighting the increase in spending in Minnesota. See graphic below:

Of course, RINOs fail to mention that the GOP had control of the State Senate from 2017 to 2022 and control of the State House from 2015 to 2018. Additionally, the GOP currently controls the gavel in the currently tied House.
During times of GOP control, conservatives would think that Republican politicians are fighting for their interests. In reality, they are driving the same direction as Democrats, only a little bit slower. Continual growth in government is a Uniparty problem despite all of the misrepresentations of the RINOs.
As reported on by A4L, Lisa Demuth and RINOs in the House partnered with Democrats to pass massive spending omnibus bills. Lisa Demuth voted for EVERY SINGLE bill Walz signed into law in 2025. The budget deal was negotiated behind closed doors between Demuth, GOP Sen. Leader Mark Johnson, and Democrats and resulted in the 2nd LARGEST budget in MN history. At the time, the RINOs, Democrats, and mainstream media claimed the budget spent a little over $66B.
The RINOs sold this as the “largest spending cut in MN history” but that does not appear to be accurate at all. The latest projections from Minnesota Management and Budget show that spending in the 2026-2027 biennium is closer to $70.2B! This is barely a cut from the $71B budget passed during the Democrat trifecta in 2023! Despite this, Demuth's Governor campaign is LYING to people by still claiming the spending totaled $66B, not $70.2B! See graphic found in a campaign email from her running mate, Ryan Wilson, below:

One bill that highlights how disingenuous RINOs are in budget discussions was the State Govt. Spending bill (SF3045) which increased the budget for the LGBTQIA2s+ Council and increased the budget for radical socialist AG Keith Ellison. 46 RINOs in the House and 2 RINOs in the Senate voted for that bill. There was also the Health Spending bill (HF2435) which funds abortion and Planned Parenthood which received support from 29 House RINOs.
While Mark Johnson did not vote for most of the spending bills in 2025, he has a pathetic, FAILING lifetime A4L score of 43.39% which shows he has voted for these types of bills
Many Minnesotans also remember the failed leadership of RINO Paul Gazelka as the Senate Majority Leader and corrupt lobbyist legislator Kurt Daudt as House Speaker. Instead of advancing conservative causes to shrink the size and scope of government, Gazelka and Daudt ingratiated themselves into the Establishment and continued to balloon Minnesota spending. Gazelka also gave Ellison a budget increase in 2021 and Daudt worked with Democrats to spend away surplus dollars.
As seen in A4L Scorecards, RINOs have been voting alongside radical leftists for bloated spending in omnibus bills for years. Grassroots conservatives know that they’ve been sold out by elected Republicans and continue to feel the negative effects of their actions.
Until the GOP is willing to cut at the root of the problem by eliminating omnibus bills and requiring single subject bills, the massive fraud and spending will continue. A4L will continue to represent the will of grassroots conservatives by being unwavering in our fight for liberty. While RINOs are willing to trade away your liberty for power, we are willing to fight power to ensure liberty.
GOP Sen. Holmstrom Pushes Anti-Freedom Amendment to Seize Money at Airports

In the fight against Democrat-imposed Somali fraud, GOP State Senator Michael Holmstrom (SD29) introduced an awful, anti-freedom amendment that allows the government to seize your money if you are traveling out of the country with more than $10K. The full floor debate can be seen here.
There is no doubt that money obtained through fraud is being flown out of Minnesota and into Somalia. This fact should be dealt with by enacting narrow policy to block such actions from occurring. Instead, Holmstrom wants to punish and seize the money of any American who travels out of the country with a large sum of THEIR OWN cash. As seen below, there is no process laid out for how Americans could have their seized money returned if they did nothing wrong. See amendment below:

Holmstrom attempted to add this Amendment to a bill, SF3868, which bans crypto-currency kiosks in Minnesota. Action 4 Liberty previously reported on the anti-crypto bill and how Minnesotans would no longer be able to buy or sell crypto at a physical kiosk out of fear of scammers. Of course, scammers can use gift cards and bank ATMs to fool unsuspecting people and this issue is not unique to crypto-currency.
Democrats offered a point of order/objection to the Amendment, arguing that it was not germane since it was unrelated to the specific topic addressed in the bill. Democrats will often use these procedural tactics to avoid votes or debate, but in this case, they were correct to argue that an unrelated Amendment should not be added.
While this was common sense to Action 4 Liberty, every single Republican voted that the Amendment was germane! This vote would indicate that most, if not all Senate Republicans, would have made this law if they could. See vote below:

As a newly elected Senator, it is clear that Holmstrom is not practiced at tailoring narrow and specific legislative ends. Proposing sloppy, wide-reaching, and anti-freedom measures is not the solution to Somali fraudsters. The government should not be able to seize money from someone just because they have a lot of it. A member of the Minnesota Freedom Caucus should know better than to limit the freedom of all who travel through Minnesota airports for the actions of Somali fraudsters.
In the end, the anti-crypto bill was passed in the Senate by a vote of 57-10. The bill now goes to the House. See Senate vote below:

A4L will continue to be a principled voice that never waivers in the battle for liberty. If legislators made their votes based on principles instead of political gamesmanship, our state would be much better off. A4L will continue providing Patriots liberty-based reporting that cannot be found anywhere else.
Amy Klobuchar Literally Has No Platform; Campaign Website is Blank

The ‘Fraud in Flannel’ 2.0, Amy Klobuchar, has felt entitled to the Governor’s mansion ever since Walz dropped out and falsely anointed her following a backroom deal. Klobuchar thinks her fake moderate image entitles her to the top political office of Minnesota and does not have to make the case to Minnesotans AT ALL!
If Minnesotans were to visit Amy Klobuchar’s campaign website, they would find absolutely no platform, agenda, policies, or anything that voters are entitled to know about a candidate! Keep in mind, the website is blank after over 2 months of her being in the race! This proves she is nothing more than a continuation of the Democrat Establishment and will continue destroying Minnesota down the fraud-loving path charted by Tampon Tim. See pathetic, blank website below:

As seen above, Klobuchar is only interested in collecting your info and getting your money! She is not concerned with your issues or any issue at all! The only other page on her website is a "Careers" page. So you either need money or campaign experience for Klobuchar to give a rip about you, regular Minnesotans just don't cut it!
While Republican candidates are running around the state to attend local meetings, Klobuchar wants to lay low and be handed more political power without working for it. Some GOP candidate platforms are exciting conservatives across the state while several others platforms are seriously lacking, however, a weak platform is better than no platform! Klobuchar doesn’t want to tell or promise Minnesotans anything!
It is not just Republicans who are dissatisfied with Klobuchar, Shaky Amy is on shaky ground within her own party! As seen below, Democrats posted most of their Governor caucus straw poll results. The final total does not appear to have been reported anywhere. See below:

As the only big name candidate in the race, it is pathetic that Klobuchar can’t even win 80% of the support of her own party! Since the Democrats never released the full results, they are likely even worse for her!
Results found online from North Minneapolis shows that Klobuchar got clobbered by “Undecided”. See below:

Shaky Amy isn't known to be able to meet the moment. See her embarrassing, shaky performance in a Democratic Presidential debate here.
Klobuchar has several Democratic opponents who have filed to also run for Governor. While the Tim Walz and the fake news media have already anointed her as the Democratic nominee, she still has an endorsing convention and primary election to get through! Klobuchar’s Democratic opponents include: bookstore owner Rick Devoe, cookie manufacturer Paul Ference, former pastor Bill Gates Jr., transgender activist Kobey Layne, and community activist Christopher Seymore.
Amy Klobuchar’s uncontrollable temper and mistreatment of employees featuring office supplies thrown at employees and salads contemptuously eaten with hair combs, there has been well-documented and she may face issues with leftists for it. While Klobuchar folds to the Democrat Establishment on every issue across the board, she may also face trouble from the Left for her support of Israel/Bibi Netenyahu, her funding of the Israel/Palestine War, her campaign donations from AIPAC, her failure to prosecute Derek Chauvin while being Hennepin Prosecutor, her voting to confirm ten members of Trump's first term Cabinet including Neocon Nikki Haley & Mitch McConnell's wife, and a number of other issues where she does not represent the base of her party.
Nobody is entitled to political power, it is earned through support of We The People! Klobuchar’s self-entitlement and attempts to hide her beliefs will rub Minnesotans the wrong way. Klobuchar can crack under pressure and is no longer the electoral juggernaut she once was. The Governor race is an uphill battle for Republicans but Shaky Amy’s unlikability may keep things competitive. A4L will continue providing Patriots with liberty-based reporting that cannot be found anywhere else.
Supposedly Nonpartisan MN Senate Staff’s Biased Reporting of Bonding (Debt)

Nonpartisan staff at the MN legislature are supposed to be completely neutral without using their professional office to influence policy. Unfortunately, current nonpartisan staff has gone out of their way to release a veiled promotion for a massive omnibus debt (bonding) bill to put our state hundreds of millions to billions of dollars deeper in debt.
The debt bill is the main focus of career politicians and the Swamp because if a legislator can get some project in their district funded through this debt bill, they can campaign on it. While some of these developments are uncontroversial, some are clear political pet projects to fulfill the desires of campaign donors. In the 2025 legislative session, RINOs teamed up with Democrats to pass $700M worth of debt. Only 10 GOP Senators and 10 GOP Representatives stood up to the out of control spending and voted against the bill (HF18). A4L reporting in 2023 highlighted the pay-to-play nature of that year's bonding bill established by Democrat Sen. Sandra Pappas (SD65).
Since the Uniparty’s big goal is to give MN more debt and continue wasting away tax dollars, they falsely label 2026 as a “Legislative Bonding Year”. However, if no bonding bill is passed, how could it possibly be a bonding year? This deceptive label leads MN citizens to believe that politicians are somehow obligated and required to pass more debt when no such requirement exists. Alternatively, some states call their non-budget years a “repealer session” where they primarily focus on taking bad or outdated laws off the books. Minnesota should adopt that model instead of stretching taxpayers even thinner.
It is not just the Uniparty politicians pushing the “bonding year” narrative, it is the so-called nonpartisan staff producing media on their pages! They released a video promoting bipartisanship and how politicians could utilize it to pass a bonding bill! Within almost the first minute of the video, the Uniparty staff uses the false “bonding year” label and makes it clear that they want the passage of such a bill. Unelected bureaucrats should not put out promotional material for a policy end! See video below:
Also featured in the video above is the Uniparty coalition called the Civility Caucus. RINO Sen. Zach Duckworth (SD57) mentions the 2023 legislative session where Democrats combined multiple omnibus bills into a mega-omnibus bill and rammed it through without proper debate in both chambers. Instead of realizing that Democrats refuse to treat Republicans civilly and with proper decorum, Duckworth said that he felt the need to rebuild relationships!
The Uniparty legislative staff are promoting spineless Republicans and far-left Democrats, their big government agenda is clear.
This is not the first time A4L has noticed that the nonpartisan staff acting in partisan ways that benefit big government liberals. As seen in previous A4L reporting, the nonpartisan staff cut off the live feed to the House once SOS Steve Simon illegitimately adjourned the House while Democrats no-showed despite Republicans being in the middle of making a motion. Also seen in recent A4L reporting, it was a nonpartisan staff member who snapped the picture of Elliott Engen (36A) and Walter Hudson (30A) drinking at a local bar ahead of the House floor session, though that individual no longer works at the Capitol since the incident.
Minnesota citizens need to be aware that some, but not all, of the nonpartisan Capitol staff have leftist, big government agendas that should not be pursued while in a neutral legislative role. Minnesota Management and Budget's Feb. 2026 debt capacity forecast states that the maximum that can be bonded this year is $1.1B. Since the Uniparty spent the maximum set in 2025, it should not be a surprise if they spend every penny they can get their hands on. The only comprehensive bonding plan that has been offered thus far has been the crony Tim Walz plan, which includes all kinds of pet projects to benefit crooked politicians and bureaucrats! Some of Walz' plan is covered through debt and other spending is supplemental from the general fund. These crony projects include repainting some windows at the Capitol, demolishing the historic Centennial Building years early with an estimated 80% of material going to be scrapped instead of giving it immediate reuse, and renovating buildings to give politicians/bureaucrats cushier offices. On his way out the door, Walz is prioritizing ways he can benefit the political class in the bonding bill, NOT regular Minnesotans like you.
As was the case in 2025, the House Capital Investment co-chairs are Democrat Fue Lee (59A) and RINO Mary Franson (12B). Despite being a co-author of the 2025 bill (HF18), Franson did not vote on the bill. Sources at the Capitol tell A4L that Franson was too drunk to vote and was taken home instead of allowing her to embarrass herself on the floor. As seen in our reporting on the ridiculous bonding bus and our reporting on Franson's willingness to look the other way on election fraud, it is clear that she will not be fighting for conservative interests in the bonding process.
A bonding bill requires 3/5ths of the legislature to pass. If Republicans in either chamber stand strong, they can BLOCK the passage of more debt! Minnesotans can find their legislators here and can let them know what they think about another debt-ridden bonding bill!
