While Tyrant Tim Walz has not yet announced a third term re-election bid, all signs seem to point that he will do so. This presents a unique moment for Republicans in finding a challenger following Walz’ humiliating debate and campaign performance as the VP candidate for Kamala. A strong Republican challenger could mount a serious challenge to Walz, instead, RINO Wayne Johnson (41A) appears to be considering a ridiculous run for Governor.

Johnson has posted a few things on social media that would seemingly indicate that he is considering a run for Governor, if not openly floating it. See below:

RINO Wayne Johnson is one of the most liberal, big government Republicans in the MN legislature. He has been a consistent vote for the Establishment and has lied repeatedly when confronted over his vote to oppose the Never Again Bill on the House floor. In response, Action 4 Liberty organized a successful Day of Action in Johnson’s district to inform his constituents that he voted to sideline an anti-lockdown, anti-mandate, pro-freedom bill. Seeing all the pictures of Johnson posted wearing useless masks, his opposition to the Never Again Bill is no surprise!

Lying has become a standard practice for Johnson following the 2024 41A GOP endorsing convention. Johnson pledged to abide by the endorsement before the convention and even sent an email to delegates following the convention that he would not run. See below:

Johnson then abandoned the GOP and planned to run as an Independent, which would almost certainly cause the GOP to lose in this swing district. Considering the district’s Senate seat was lost by less than 1% of the vote thanks to RINO Tony Jergens endorsed radical leftist Judy Seeberger over conservative Tom Dippel. Johnson is friends with Jurgens and was clearly considering a path to also destroy the GOP’s chance of victory. See below:

Sources tell A4L Wayne Johnson would not commit to vote for Trump after he became the Republican presidential nominee.

While Establishment RINOs might feel comfortable with Qualls for Governor (despite the mailing issue with his campaign and the MNGOP), one reason Johnson may be hesitant to back him is because Qualls endorsed Wayne’s GOP primary opponent, Grayson McNew. This could explain for why Johnson is not backing Qualls and floating himself as an option, see below:

As we’ve previously reported, former MNGOP Chair RINO David Hann is considering a run for Governor. Wayne Johnson will give Hann some serious competition in determining which campaign is more clownish!

Walz has become increasingly unpopular and did not look good when testifying to Congress about Minnesota being a sanctuary state for illegal aliens. While KSTP and their poll numbers on Walz should be viewed skeptically, Walz will be a tough opponent and conservatives will have to have a candidate capable of unifying grassroots conservatives behind their message which RINOs David Hann and Wayne Johnson would have no chance in doing!

Action 4 Liberty will keep Patriots informed as the race develops with more candidates. Potential candidates are listed in previous A4L reporting. See all announced candidates below.

Announced candidates:

Democrat - none

GOP - Kendall Qualls, Phil Parrish, Brad Kohler, and former Saint Cloud city councilman Jeff Johnson (no relation to previous GOP Governor candidate Jeff Johnson)

Independent - Adam Kedrowski

Independence-Alliance Party - Christopher Seymore

A suspicious mailer was sent out by the MNGOP including a return envelope belonging to Kendall Qualls’ Governor campaign and was exposed by former A4L President Jake Duesenberg on X. See below:

MNGOP Chair Alex Plechash put out a statement following this claiming the envelope was in a small portion of the mailers and that the responsibility belongs to the vendor, not the party. Plechash also states that the vendor has taken full responsibility. What is not said in the statement is who this shared vendor is between the MNGOP and Qualls campaign. Of all the vendors in our state, the two just happened to use the same one? On X, former state Rep. Jeremy Munson alleges the vendor is Tim Berkness while complaining that Duesenberg highlighted this mailing error. See statement from Plechash below:

MNGOP party officers are obligated by the party bylaws to be neutral in all races until a candidate is endorsed. The appearance of the MNGOP and the Qualls campaign being one in the same gives Patriots reason to question if the 2026 MNGOP State Convention will be fairly run for all candidates involved. See Article IV, Section 8 of the MNGOP bylaws below:

The MNGOP Constitution also lays out the rules for endorsements, which clearly shows that the decision belongs to the delegates, not a unilateral decision by the MNGOP Chair. See Article VI, Section 3, subsection B below:

Reason to question if preferential treatment will be given to Qualls from party leadership includes Qualls’ donation of $10K to the party using the remaining funds of his failed Congress campaign against Dean Phillips. Considering how pitiful the MNGOP fundraising has been as of late, $10K is a God-send. See donations below:

During his 2022 Governor run, Qualls was an opponent to the Never Again Bill, supported unilateral Governor Emergency declaration power, and changed his stance on Emergency Powers THREE TIMES on his website! That Governor campaign was funded by mega-donor David Frauenshush, a commercial investor who’s funded healthcare and pharmaceutical projects. Qualls' 2022 Lt. Governor nominee was allegedly going to be pro-abortion Michelle Tafoya. Qualls was a healthcare executive for Johnson & Johnson - one of the major Covid shot producers in our country and wore useless masks throughout his 2020 Congress campaign. Qualls has been nicknamed by the grassroots as "Ken Doll Qualls" to indicate that he is a fraud and stands for nothing.

As noted in Duesenberg’s post on X seen above, the MNGOP should also retract their unconstitutional endorsement of RINO Michelle Fischbach (CD7). Plechash should be representing the grassroots as Chair instead of attempting to curry favor with the RINO DC Establishment by unilaterally and unconstitutionally endorsing an incumbent Congresswoman who failed to win the endorsement in 2024 against conservative Steve Boyd. Republican delegates get to decide who wins the GOP endorsement, not Alex Plechash. See unconstitutional endorsement below:

A4L has previously reported on U.S. Senate candidate Royce White slamming Alex Plechash for a lack of neutrality in the Senate and CD7 elections. A4L has also previously reported that Qualls worked against Royce as the endorsed GOP candidate in the primary. On the Qualls/MNGOP mailer situation, Royce White said on X "There are no accidents" and that "Kendall Qualls is another scumbag sellout".

Other GOP candidates for Governor include Navy veteran Phil Parrish, former UFC fighter Brad Kohler, and former Saint Cloud city councilman Jeff Johnson (no relation to previous GOP Governor nominee Jeff Johnson). Phil Parrish has appeared on the Truth Hurts podcast, as has Brad Kohler and his running mate, Reverend Tim Christopher. 

As A4L has previously reported, failed former MNGOP Chair RINO David Hann is also considering a run, but that plan was likely torpedoed after A4L exposed that Hann was using tens of thousands of dollars of the party’s money in secret to pay a Kamala Harris influencer. Other candidates considering a run include My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, RINO Sen. Zach Duckworth (SD57), 2022 GOP Attorney General nominee Jim Schultz, RINO Rep. Wayne Johnson (41A) and 2022 GOP Governor candidate Scott Jensen. 

The Walz/legislative leader deal crafted behind closed doors using many unconstitutional, big government omnibus bills was rushed through the legislature within a single day on Monday, June 9th. The Uniparty deal wrapped up the passage of the 2nd largest budget in our state’s history and added all kinds of woke policies. The only larger budget passed in total was under recent trifecta Democrat control.

The public, media, and even the legislators themselves were left in the dark as Tyrant Tim Walz, RINO Speaker Lisa Demuth, Dem House leader Melissa Hortman, Dem Senate leader Erin Murphy, and RINO Senate leader Mark Johnson negotiated behind closed doors. All of these bills remained out of public sight for much of the weekend and the corruption was so out of line that even Establishment puppets like Walter Hudson began to speak out.

All of the bills passed during the special session can be seen below. The webpage shown below can be viewed here. See below:

The majority of these bills are unconstitutional, multi-subject, big government omnibus bills that spend billions upon billions in tax dollars and force woke policies. One of the bills was a single-subject, stand-alone bill modifying free healthcare for illegal alien adults. This was sold as an outright elimination by Republicans and as a win in the deal with Democrats, however as seen in previous A4L reporting, the bill did not complete the job because loopholes still exist for illegal alien adults receiving free healthcare and the bill was FAKE for that reason. This bill passed the House by a vote of 68-65 and the Senate by a vote of 37-30. Democrat leaders and a couple desperate swing district Dems joined Republicans. See votes below:

Due to the volume of bills passed, you will see a breakdown of a few of the outrageous things passed and who voted to pass it below. Future reporting will explain other votes.

Health and Human Services omnibus bill (HF2)

This bill tucks hidden funding for abortions under the guise of “Medical Assistance”. A4L exposure on this topic caused fake pro-life group MCCL to attack us with smears while they cover for RINOs who voted for the abortion and Planned Parenthood funding. Planned Parenthood is funded through ‘sexual and reproductive health services grant program’ which got over $22M in this bill. This grant program additionally receives over $2M in this bill from the ‘Temporary Assistance for Needy Families’, highlighting how corrupt things are tucked into bills in ways the average reader would have no idea. Previous A4L reporting exposed how all this is funded. 

When the Health omnibus bill was debated last month during the regular session (when it was numbered HF2435), 29 House RINOs and no Senate Republicans supported the bill. This time, thanks to A4L supporters and grassroots conservatives holding politicians’ feet to the fire, only 22 RINOs in the House voted for the bill: Paul Anderson (12A), Dave Baker (16B), Greg Davids (26B), Lisa Demuth (13A), Josh Heintzeman (6B), Spencer Igo (7A), Ron Kresha (10A), Andrew Myers (45A), Danny Nadeau (34A), Jim Nash (48A), Harry Niska (31A), Aaron Repinksi (26A), Joe Schomacker (21A), Erica Schwartz (18A), Peggy Scott (31B), Tom Sexton (19B), Roger Skraba (3A), Terry Stier (22B), Paul Torkelson (15B), Cal Warwas (7B), Nolan West (32A), and Natalie Zeleznikar (3B). Democrat opposition in the House came from their concern on a provision requiring the passage of the illegal alien healthcare modification bill. Be sure to note that Sen. Keri Heintzeman voted no while her husband voted yes in the House, this is not the first time they voted differently on this question. The bill passed 73-58 in the House and 34-33 in the Senate. See votes below:

K-12 Education omnibus policy and spending bill (HF5)

Previous A4L reporting exposed the DEI center funded through the Dept. of Education meant to force the woke ideology onto children in schools. Fortunately, pressure from A4L, our supporters, and other grassroots conservatives forced Republicans to renegotiate and strip the funding out of the bill! The removal of that policy is a massive win that was only possible because the grassroots stood up.

Unfortunately, this bill is still packed with billions upon billions in wasteful spending and liberal policies. Instead of waste being gutted from some of those policies, spending was cut on special education. Minnesota’s policy of tampons in boys rooms was not removed and while there is no line item funding such proposal, do not be shocked if that’s how some of the big money appropriated is spent. 97-36 in the House and 35-32 in the Senate. See votes below:

Higher Education omnibus (SF1)

Woke universities and colleges across our state are brainwashing young adults with radical left ideologies and have openly opposed and worked against President Trump’s agenda to keep men out of women’s sports and locker rooms. With Republicans holding control of the House, serious negotiations could’ve been leveraged to ensure meaningful concessions. Universities and colleges should not serve political interests, they are meant to be educational institutions that can be as self-sufficient as possible. Notably, the University of Minnesota will be given over $750M despite high tuition rates (that have only been raised over the recent years, 6.5% increase next year). One item that was missing in the bill was the appointment of regents for the U of M, ceding the power to Walz. This bill additionally creates more regulations surrounding private career schools. As a multi-subject, big spending, unconstitutional omnibus bill, this should have been a non-starter and an easy no vote. The bill was passed 95-36 in the House and 36-31 in the Senate. See votes below: 

Details surrounding the corrupt $700M Debt (bonding) bill can be found in our reporting here.

In total, the budget is the 2nd largest in MN history and eats into the surplus dollars taxpayers are owed. Surplus dollars are spent away because the budget spends more than the government will take in through revenues (taxes). Many Patriots are wondering what the point of a GOP controlled House is if they are just going to agree to reckless spending that takes away surplus dollars. See graphic below:

RINO legislative leadership, notably Mark Johnson and Lisa Demuth (and Paul Torkelson), sold the conservative base and their own caucus members under the bus to advance their own power with Democrats. The special session treated our state’s citizens like pawns in a corrupt Uniparty game. The 2nd largest budget in MN history cannot be done with only Democrats, many Republicans are just as much to blame.

Action 4 Liberty has called out the corruption of this special session from the jump and have kept Patriots informed on these critical issues. RINO politicians selling out grassroots conservatives has become par for the course in our state. RINO leadership and legislators who passed along the special session agenda screwed over our state and have maintained a corrupt status quo. A4L will never abandon the grassroots and we will never give up our mission to protect liberty for the next generation. There is clearly a battle between grassroots conservatives and the Establishment, we know where we stand and who we will always stand shoulder to shoulder with.

Putting our state in debt to fund pet projects for special interests and lobbyists is never the conservative position, it is always the big government, liberal position. Debt (bonding) bills require 60% support from both chambers which means Republican support is needed in the House and Senate to pass. This leverage could have been used to negotiate strong hardlines but instead RINOs went along with the big government spending and got NOTHING from it.

As discussed in our previous reporting, the $700M debt bill (HF18) spends the maximum debt capacity permitted by the March 6th state budget forecast. This is a corrupt bill that gives the state government debt for not just individual projects, but also gives $80 Million for Dept. of Transportation. This means the government is going to take on debt for a government agency and that agency can appropriate money in ways designed for the legislature!

This bill also gives $16M to the corrupt Met Council, $60M to the woke University of Minnesota, and other wasteful projects. Like usual, politicians with power on the bill get to throw money wherever they want to boost re-election prospects and in this case, House Capital Investment co-chair RINO Rep. Mary Franson (12B) got $24M for a college in her district. In addition, this bill spends $8.5M for a tunnel at the Capitol building and $3M on other projects on the building, the waste just never ends!

Only 10 Republicans in the Senate stood up to the out of control spending via the $700M debt bill. See Senate vote below:

Only 15 Republicans in the House stood up to out of control spending via the $700M debt bill. See House vote below:

There was additionally a "cash" bonding bill for more projects and spending that did not fit in the $700M debt bill. This bill pulled money away from the general fund. This bill (HF17) spends over $15M on a variety of unrelated items. The vote on this bill 96-34 in the House and 37-30 in the Senate.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to expose the corruption in our state and stand shoulder to shoulder with grassroots conservatives in the fight for liberty. Out of control spending and debt is a bipartisan, Uniparty position. While Republicans had the chance to flex their leverage, all of it has been thrown down the drain thanks to the RINOs voting with Democrats.

If you are afraid to say things as they are, you can never get the job done.

Our country and state have been forced to endure millions of illegal aliens pouring in with hopes of freebies from Socialists in government. While President Trump has taken up the cause of deportation, states must remove all incentives for illegal immigration. Unfortunately, MN Republicans are failing to follow in Trump’s decisive attitude.

Things are worse when GOP leaders are afraid to utter the words “illegal alien” or “illegal immigrant”. RINO Speaker Lisa Demuth (13A) has even gone as far as to adopt woke language like “undocumented Minnesotans”, laying out a false impression that illegals are innocent angels instead of criminal invaders. 

House Majority leader Harry Niska (31A) has also joined Demuth in softening language on uncomfortable truths by exclusively using the term “undocumented immigrants” in a House floor speech. Out of touch House Republicans shared this speech on their X account, highlighting how they will cave to liberal demands over “offensive” words. The truth is sometimes offensive and we cannot be scared to say it. Accepting false framework and language from Democrats hinders the mission. Rep. Jeff Backer (9A) even corrected himself as he spoke on the topic while sometimes saying "undocumented".

The contents of the speech otherwise sounds fine, until you realize, as detailed in our previous reporting, the bill agreed upon by Uniparty leaders in the special session deal leaves a loophole in place for illegals receiving taxpayer funded care. The bill (HF1) is a scam and did not do what Republicans were told it would since it leaves a provision of law that serves as a loophole.

Words have meaning and Republicans exchanging the word “illegal” for “undocumented” is just one of many ways that elected RINO politicians have sold out the conservative cause. The conservative grassroots does not want weak-kneed RINOs backing down from the America First agenda. A4L will continue to expose the corruption of our state and serve as the standard-bearer for conservative principles in our state.

Today’s special session is set to pass 14 bills, many of which are unconstitutional omnibus bills, without floor amendments or real debate thanks to the deal struck by Walz and the RINO and Dem legislative leaders. Incorporated into this deal was a pledge from Republicans to eliminate free healthcare for illegal aliens, unfortunately, the bill that claims to do so does not actually get the job done!

HF1/SF8 is the piece of legislation dealing with free healthcare for illegal aliens and allows them to keep the receiving healthcare for another six months. In order to fully eliminate the policy, this legislation would have to repeal/amend two changes to law that were made in the 2023 omnibus health bill (SF2995). The two statutes that must be changed include section 256L.04 and 256B.06 in order to fully eliminate free healthcare for illegal aliens.

As seen in HF1/SF8 for the special session, this bill only amends section 256L.04 and leaves Democrat language in place that passed in 2023 on section 256B.06. As seen below in subdivision 10 point (b), this bill states “except that these persons may be eligible for emergency medical assistance under section 256B.06, subdivision 4.” Section 256B.06 clearly creates many loopholes and exceptions to the new policy, which means illegal aliens will still receive free healthcare. See full text of SF8 below:

THIS IS NOT THE BILL REPUBLICAN VOTERS WERE PROMISED!

Republicans promised that their hard line in negotiations was the repeal of free healthcare for illegal aliens and they have failed to do so before the vote even takes place! The policy will certainly reduce the amount of illegal aliens getting taxpayer funded healthcare but the loopholes are still in place so that the policy cannot be fully eliminated. While the 'People of Color and Indigenous' (POCI) caucus was triggered in a press conference on the bill, it does not fully eliminate the Democrat program since it appears emergency procedures are still covered.

Crooked politicians like Lisa Demuth, who negotiated this deal, have let down conservatives across our state. A4L received plenty of criticism from the Establishment when we reported that Demuth was flip-flopping on illegals getting free healthcare and has been using woke language to by calling them “undocumented Minnesotans”. However, as usual, A4L was ahead of the game and knew that RINO leadership wasn’t serious about hardline negotiations.

Remember, the deal with Democrats to seat radical leftist Brad Tabke despite massive election fraud in the race at the beginning of session has culminated in the Uniparty force-feeding omnibus bills to the body with a fake bill on illegal alien free healthcare. The big win Republicans were supposed to have out of this special session is not real, some illegal aliens will continue receiving free healthcare on your dime. As negotiators on the deal, Mark Johnson and Lisa Demuth (and Paul Torkelson) let down their caucus and crafted a fake bill with the help of Walz and Democrats. As tempers are already heating up on the GOP side, this may push things to a point beyond return.

A4L will continue to give Patriots the inside scoop and will never hold back when holding the Establishment accountable. Grassroots conservatives across our state have become fed up with do-nothing RINOs who backstab the conservative agenda. We will never waver or substitute our mission to protect liberty for the next generation. Stay tuned for reporting as the special session is underway.

Upon the news of the special session agreement reached by Uniparty leaders, grassroots conservatives across our state were fed up and felt completely backstabbed. The deal pushes the 2nd largest budget in MN history, wastes billions upon billions in tax dollars, adopts liberal policies, rushes 14 bills in a single day, and demands legislators not speak or bring amendments on the floor. This apparently has not just upset conservatives but it has even irritated Establishment Republicans like Walter Hudson (30A).

Hudson posted on X on Sunday, June 8th that he did not “consent” to the special session deal. Also note former Senate GOP leader RINO Paul Gazelka trying to justify secret discussions between legislative party leaders and Walz. Easy to say when you used to be one of the select Uniparty members in the room! See below:

This may come as a surprise because Hudson has come to the defense for the surplus-killing GOP budget proposal and has voted for several unconstitutional omnibus bills this session. However, all politicians want control and the ability to have things done their way; In this case, Hudson knows that the House GOP got served a raw deal from Demuth and Walz.

Hudson’s coming to Jesus moment may simply be for show and to portray himself as a conservative when in reality, he will do nothing to actually fight or stop the package. If Demuth was short one vote on a bill, Hudson would almost certainly be a vote she goes to flip. It seems unlikely that Hudson will present Amendments to the body against the wishes of Lisa Demuth or that he would use procedural tactics to delay and slow down the process. There is almost no chance Hudson does anything to threaten the GOP leadership’s power. If he is willing to do so, we would love being proven wrong. 

In addition, Hudson was a supporter of the deal with Democrats at the beginning of session which protected radical Democrat Brad Tabke (54A) from having his election certificate revoked due to election fraud where more ballots were thrown away in his district by election officials than what the margin of victory was. Hudson went on the attack against A4L for an article exposing the corrupt deal with false smears, demands that our supporters be banned from the party, and even attempting to blame our organization for the GOP losing the 40B race by over 40 percentage points! Hudson’s vote and support of those rules blocked the GOP from winning a swing district seat which would have given House Republicans a real majority.

We owe a MASSIVE thank you to all A4L supporters for putting the pressure on their legislators, holding their feet to the fire, and making it politically toxic to support the deal. Conservatives across our state demanding a higher standard from their elected officials is the role of vigilant citizenship and there is no doubt that it is moving the needle and causing GOP legislators to turn on the deal. 

Conservative Senator Nathan Wesenberg (SD10) put out a strong statement calling out the corruption which was shared in support by Rep. Marj Fogleman (21B). Hudson then posted it on X with commentary where it appears Hudson is referring to (admitting) himself as the establishment that will align with the grassroots on these votes (despite Hudson's previous claim that there was no such thing as an Establishment in Minnesota). See below:

In addition to Wesenberg, Rep. Drew Roach (58B) put out a strong statement calling out the corruption of the Uniparty special session agreement. See below:

Other establishment Republicans like Elliot Engen have even gone on record against this deal. Our sources at the Capitol tell A4L that the vast majority of the caucus is LIVID with the deal and will be opposing the rules suspension and most omnibus bills. GOP Reps should feel insulted that Demuth wants to strip away their ability to legislate with a deal that they never signed off on. Now she demands they vote with her for all of the corruption.

Conservative legislators can FIGHT the corruption by rejecting the plans to suspend the rules and by voting against the corrupt omnibus policy and spending bills. Shutting down Walz’ government may be EXACTLY what our state needs in order to reassess out of control spending. In addition, the Uniparty special session deal does not prohibit amendments on the floor, it simply says leadership must oppose them. This means that members can and should introduce amendments to reduce spending, gut woke policies, and insert conservative policies. If you want your legislators to know this, you can find their contact info here.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to expose corruption and stand as the much needed bulldog for limited government in our state. The unconstitutional deal pushed by the Uniparty should be rejected far and wide. Groups like A4L have led in the fight the corruption and we now see fake conservatives like Walter Hudson tagging along out of necessity. We encourage all legislators to stand up to corrupt party leaders force-feeding them unconstitutional, big government omnibus bills and standing ready for a government shutdown battle against Walz.

The special session scheduled for tomorrow (Monday, June 9th) is set to pass 14 bills within a 24 hour time period to complete the passage of the 2nd largest budget in MN history. Many of these bills are unconstitutional omnibus packed with billions upon billions in spending or radical left policies. Legislators are being told not to speak on the floor or present amendments, blocking their ability to represent their constituents. Previous A4L reporting showed how no finalized version of bills are available and that leadership can change whatever they want, decided by them alone. Many conservatives are questioning how this happened and which RINOs are responsible. Insert RINO Paul Torkelson.

The signers on the Uniparty special session deal includes Tyrant Tim Walz, RINO Speaker Lisa Demuth, Dem House Leader Melissa Hortman, Dem Majority Leader Erin Murphy, and RINO Minority Leader Mark Johnson. However, the signers of the deal are not the culprits to blame.

RINO Paul Torkelson (15B) is a big government, liberal, 17-year incumbent career politician who has worked to undermine the leverage and power the House GOP could have in negotiations and has previously fought to legalize drivers licenses for illegal aliens on the House floor while repping a useless cloth mask on his face. At the beginning of this legislative session, the House GOP held a caucus meeting to hold intra-party leadership elections. According to our sources at the Capitol, Torkelson was Demuth’s hand-selected choice for GOP floor leader, which was halted by members demanding a vote. In this vote, Harry Niska (31A) defeated Torkelson and became the GOP floor leader.

Following Torkelson’s defeat, Demuth appointed him to be a leadership role and he has remained as her right-hand man. Sources at the Capitol tell A4L that Torkelson is the person who is truly driving the ship and steering the caucus behind the scenes, not Lisa Demuth. This has even culminated in some of the special session negotiations.

One of the bills that have reportedly been led by Torkelson include the Transportation omnibus bill. Sources at the Capitol tell A4L that RINO Jon Koznick (57A) presented the transportation bill to the House GOP caucus and admitted many of the flaws of the bill, even saying he planned to vote against it (despite being a signer on the Transportation policy agreement and the House Transportation co-chair). Koznick has publicly attacked the legislation and its non-transparent process, highlighting the $93M sales tax shift to the corrupt Met Council. When questioned by members how the bill was negotiated so poorly, Koznick reportedly shifted the blame to Paul Torkelson for leading negotiations. Sources also say Torkelson’s fingerprints are all over several other pieces of liberal omnibus bills in the special session Uniparty package.

Members have reportedly reached a boiling point with Torkelson and are fed up with his constant caving to liberal demands. While Lisa ‘Kamala’ Demuth serves as the empty-suit front woman, Torkelson has been running the show and crafting unconstitutional omnibus bills with Democrats. Some swamp creatures can be front and center while others hide and call shots behind the scenes. The failures by GOP legislative leaders will culminate into a single day session to pass unconstitutional, corrupt omnibus bills contributing to the 2nd largest budget in Minnesota history. No wonder conservative legislators feel completely shafted by the special session terms and cannot adequately represent their constituents. 

Conservative legislators can FIGHT the corruption by rejecting the plans to suspend the rules and by voting against the corrupt omnibus policy and spending bills. Shutting down Walz’ government may be EXACTLY what our state needs in order to reassess out of control spending. In addition, the Uniparty special session deal does not prohibit amendments on the floor, it simply says leadership must oppose them. This means that members can and should introduce amendments to reduce spending, gut woke policies, and insert conservative policies. If you want your legislators to know this, you can find their contact info here.

Action 4 Liberty will keep Patriots up to date and will continue leading the conservative grassroots movement of our state. The corruption within our government can only be fought with exposure and A4L will never waver in the fight for limited government and to protect liberty for the next generation.

Corruption hides in darkness, only transparency can expose it. Minnesotans are anxiously awaiting the full details of the Uniparty’s big government budget proposals decided in private backroom meetings that have been separated into 14 different bills. Most of these bills will be massive, unconstitutional, left wing garbage spending or policy omnibus bills amounting to billions upon billions of wasted tax dollars. Unfortunately, our state is left in the dark as ZERO finalized bills are available to be seen by the public and 3 out of the 14 bills do not even have drafts publicly available! 3 other bill's drafts were not available until around 8PM Saturday night. 

The Special Session is taking place on Monday, just 36 hours away (as of writing), and huge pieces of the deal remain hidden. Action 4 Liberty previously reported that legislative leaders plan to steamroll all 14 bills through both chambers on Monday by asking legislators not to speak or give amendments on the floor! Aside from trying to block legislators from legislating, legislative leaders are also leaving the public and their caucuses completely in the dark!

Since the GOP controls the Speakership and shared-majority in the House, one might expect transparency on all bills that are given House File designations. However, the House has more bills that are not publicly available for the special session than what is available! As per the Uniparty agreement, 9 of the 14 bills will be House Files. Of the 9 bills, 7 are unfinalized drafts and 2 of which are still total mysteries (modifying free healthcare for illegal aliens and data center bills)!

A Senate webpage lists out the available omnibus bill drafts for the Special Session which can be viewed here. As per the Uniparty agreement, 5 of the 14 bills will be Senate Files. Of the 5 bills, 4 have public drafts of the bill. Like the House Files, none of these bills have final versions of the bill publicly available. 

As seen on the website cited, there is no mention of the three non-omnibus bills for the special session listed in the Uniparty agreement which includes a data center bill, a technical revisor corrections bill, and a bill “Modifying MinnesotaCare for Undocumented Adults”. To make sure we check all pockets of the MN Legislative website, we went to the MN House Bill Information webpage under the ‘94th Legislature, 2025 First Special Session’ search result only to find no bills listed! Bills will eventually be listed on that webpage, but for the time being, we do not get to know the contents of bills set to pass in just a few days. See below:

The debate surrounding illegal aliens receiving free, taxpayer-funded healthcare has been a major point of contention with very little transparency. Action 4 Liberty has stayed vigilant on this question and reported when RINO Speaker Lisa Demuth began to flip flop on the question and adopting language such as “undocumented Minnesotans” when talking about criminal illegal aliens in our state. A4L then reported that the new plan from the Uniparty was to remove the policy proposal from the Health omnibus bill for a stand-alone vote. 

Drafts are not final versions and the the small conglomeration of power in Walz, Demuth, Hortman, Murphy, and Johnson can still change WHATEVER they want in these bills.

This stand-alone vote could lead to Democrats not providing the votes or Walz choosing to veto. On the other hand, since the public has no access to the legislation, we have no idea if it truly will eliminate all funding for illegal alien free healthcare. Considering the title of the bill uses the word “modifying” instead of “eliminating”, skepticism must always remain high when dealing with corrupt politicians.

As always, A4L will continue to hold our government accountable by keeping Patriots informed. Corruption must be exposed and A4L will never hold back the truth. The corrupt deal struck by Walz, Lisa Demuth, Melissa Hortman, Erin Murphy, and Mark Johnson will be remembered not for ‘bipartisanship’ but instead for a crooked Uniparty silencing legislators in order to pass the 2nd largest budget in Minnesota history.

NOTE - Since publishing, a few supposed final versions of bills are listed on this House page. As previously noted, leadership could unilaterally still change these bills.

With the President of the United States, the Dept. of Justice, human biology, and the majority of the public against him, Minnesota’s radical Socialist Attorney General, ANTIFA Keith Ellison, is celebrating boys playing in high school girls sports in our state.

The topic of boys in girls sports and locker rooms has drawn a massive cultural line between the right and left in our country that culminated in part to President Trump’s sweeping 2024 victory. The issue, and opposition to it, has grown over the last few years as transgenderism has become more prominent in children coinciding with the leftist groomer agenda being normalized in schools and media. As the lead attorney of our state, Keith Ellison has chosen to align himself with the woke alphabet mafia. 

In a 6/6/25 social media post, Ellison celebrated Champlin Park High School's softball team that has a boy as their pitcher who now identifies as a girl. See below:

A sport of any kind of physicality is always separated by gender, that is why there are boys baseball teams and girls softball teams. Pretending as if there is no difference throws basic logic out the window. Pitching is especially reliant on strength and boys will generally have an advantage in strength. This case clearly is unfair on face value and the win for their team seems to indicate that the advantage helped them.

While most people may not associate ANTIFA Keith Ellison to sports, like any politician he has the occasional team spirit for the Vikings or Timberwolves or whoever else might be politically convenient to align with, in this case Ellison is only putting this confused teenager on a pedestal as a political prop as a signal to the woke LGBTQIA2S+ mob and perhaps to troll the right.

Aside from being dead-wrong logically, Ellison is fighting the vast majority of the public with his extremely unpopular stance. Pew Research polling shows two-thirds of Americans disapprove boys playing in girls sports and over half of Americans are against transitioning minors. Minnesota Republicans should be winning this fight against Ellison with control the the Speakership and shared-majority in the State House but instead, RINOs have worked with Dems to increase Ellison’s AG budget!

Liberals will often argue that transgenders will commit suicide unless they receive medical treatment. However, this is entirely misleading as the exact opposite is true, mutilations and hormone blockers often lead to increases in suicides. A research study titled ‘Risk of Suicide and Self-Harm Following Gender-Affirmation Surgery’ written by members of the Dept. of Emergency Medicine, Dept. of Pharmacology, and the Dept. of Psychiatry and Behavioral Services at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston concludes its study by saying “Patients who have undergone gender-affirming surgery are associated with a significantly elevated risk of suicide, highlighting the necessity for comprehensive post-procedure psychiatric support.”. The experimentation of children, with even more fragile of realities, is a curse put onto them by the woke mind virus. Social stigmas are not causing chemical imbalances in people, hormone blockers and mutilation cause chemical imbalances. A body not functioning as nature intended it to will react negatively.

Ellison has not only supported this cause with troll posts online, he is also wasting taxpayer dollars to sue the Trump administration at least 22 times since Trump’s inauguration. On this topic, Ellison is suing Trump to keep men in women’s sports/lockerrooms and continue Minnesota’s policy allowing transgender mutilation of kids. In addition, Ellison is also suing Trump to keep birthright citizenship for anchor babies, block the abolition of the failed Dept. of Edu., block Trump from firing federal workers, fight tariffs meant to even out the global trade playing field, support electric vehicle mandates, and block proof of citizenship requirements for voting.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to stand on the forefront of the political battleground in our state for the conservative grassroots. Crooked politicians ask you to deny the reality in front of your eyes and A4L will continue to expose these realities. With this topic top of mind, conservative legislators could demand that Minnesota immediately take action on this topic in order to pass anything with the special session. However, don’t hold your breath on that one.
