When Itasca County Commissioners attempted to raise property taxes by nearly 10%, A4L sounded the alarm and Patriots across Itasca answered the call. Over 150 concerned citizens attended the Commissioner meeting and spoke out against the ridiculous tax hike. Due to grassroots pressure on the commissioners, the tax hike was nearly slashed in half to a 5.16% property tax increase.

While most Itasca citizens are still unhappy with the tax increase, they know that it would have been even worse if they did not get involved. One of the mechanisms used by the commissioners to lower the proposed tax levy was to freeze county employee salaries. This salary freeze was introduced by Commissioner John Johnson and passed in a 4-1 vote with Commissioner Terry Snyder voting no out of fear it would not stand legally. Now, we see that issue come to bear and  the perpetrator is not an outside source but rather one of Itasca County government’s own!

Itasca’s County Attorney, Jacob Fauchald, is suing the County Commissioners in order to BLOCK the salary freeze which would increase the tax levy! See below:

By removing the county’s salary freeze, the tax hike will be bumped up about 0.6% according to previous numbers mentioned by Commissioners (bringing the property tax hike back to a roughly 5.75% increase). Itasca residents have long been overtaxed with property taxes continually going up. Itasca seniors testified how they may lose their homes over the rising tax burden placed on them. Tax hikes are facing mass opposition yet Jacob Fauchald wants more of their hard-earned money.

Fauchald has never been elected to the role he now holds. In fact, Fauchald is only the Itasca Attorney because of Action 4 Liberty's and grassroots Itascans' efforts! After the then incumbent Itasca Attorney (Matti Adam) was appointed to a 9th Judicial District vacancy position by Tim Walz, the Itasca Commissioners attempted to appoint a greedy, carpet-bagging Keith Ellison puppet in the position. A4L sounded the alarm and exposed the lawyer, James Austad, for his endorsement and employment of Keith Ellison. Austad was even demanding a $25K salary increase in order to take the job!

Due to grassroots pressure at a June 11th, 2024 county commissioner meeting, Austad withdrew his name from nomination. In his place was Itasca Assistant County Attorney, Jacob Fauchald, who received the appointment shortly thereafter. Fauchald's initial salary was $140,000 but it was raised to $145,600 by a vote of the county commissioners, which is smaller than his predecessor’s salary ($154,277).

The decision by Fauchald to sue the Commissioners is stabbing Itasca citizens in the back. He holds the Attorney position because Itasca citizens stood up to the ANTIFA Keith nominee being shoved down their throats. Austad’s demands for a salary increase epitomized the issue with his nomination and it appears Fauchald has learned nothing from it.

During the tax hike commissioner meeting, several Itasca citizens noted how many Itasca government jobs were paying significantly more than other counties and how out of step salaries were with market rates. The least one could expect if employees are overpaid is a salary freeze, it at least keeps things at base level!

Fauchald has been accused by Itasca locals of intentionally mishandling rape cases and the prosecution against CD8 Dem Chair Cyndy Martin for her alleged drunk driving causing the death/hit-and-run of a 19 year old young man just outside of Nashwauk on the night of July 3rd, 2024. Fauchald has also seemingly expressed disdain at local citizens who attempt to serve him and Commissioners with lawsuits during meetings.

Jacob Fauchald is younger than most MN County Attorneys but youth is no excuse for actions like this. Citizens of Itasca can demand Fauchald drop the lawsuit to prevent sky-high property taxes from costing taxpayers even more. Since Fauchald is only in office due to grassroots opposition to liberal politicians, policy, and spending, he should be representing the interests of the grassroots. Until he is elected on his own merits with his own agenda, his agenda must be the People’s agenda. In this case, the People’s agenda is lower taxes.

Itasca residents can contact Jacob Fauchald and demand he withdraw his salary increase lawsuit immediately:

Action 4 Liberty will keep Patriots up to date and will always represent the grassroots conservative movement of MN. Itasca residents are struggling with high taxes and expect their County Attorney to fight for them, not against them. 

On Monday, Dec. 29th, Republican Senators Nathan Wesenberg (SD10) and Bill Lieske (SD58) along with Representatives Drew Roach (58B), Marj Fogleman (21B), and Mike Weiner (5B) have put out a joint statement demanding Tim Walz resign as Governor.

Minnesota has become the laughing stock of the country due to some estimates of fraud totaling nearly $9 BILLION. Rampant fraud is out of control and taxpayers have been taken advantage of, largely by non-assimilating Somali migrants. From feeding Our Future to daycares to autism centers, Minnesota taxpayers have been funding shell companies owned by Somalis that actually take care of ZERO children.

While many legislators have sat on their hands and done nothing to fight back against Democrat-run fraud, the mentioned conservative legislators are ready to take action. See joint press release below:

As seen in the 2025 A4L scorecard, each of the legislators writing this letter generally vote for the conservative position and none have a failing score. A4L previously reported how Rep. Marj Fogleman and other legislators misrepresented the state’s surplus and their use of faulty Establishment logic. Though it appears no correction has been offered by Fogleman, the joint letter she signed onto is a step in the right direction and shows she is distinguishing herself from the RINO Establishment.

It is incredible that the vast majority of Republicans are NOT on this joint letter, slamming Tim Walz for his corruption should be a unifying issue in the GOP. Unfortunately, many GOP legislators are soft or guilty of funding the fraud through various unconstitutional, bloated, fraud-ridden omnibus spending bills.

The next step GOP legislators can consider is an impeachment effort against Tim Walz. It is clear that Walz is, at best, incompetent and, at worst, corrupt. Either which way, Walz is incapable of effectively leading the state and has turned Minnesota into a global embarrassment.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to keep Patriots updated as these conservative legislators fight back against Walz’ fraud regime. A4L will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation and we will continue prioritizing the interests of grassroots conservatives over crooked RINO and Democrat politicians.

As a member of the House Fraud Committee, Walter Hudson should be fighting fraud and exposing corruption. Instead, Hudson protects RINO Ron Kresha from allegations of PPP loan fraud, blows hot air in committees, and wastes away his life on social media. In the latest example of Hudson’s ridiculousness, he is making A.I. videos pretending to expose daycare fraud instead of ACTUALLY doing it like Nick Shirley did!

Hudson would rather sit at home and make A.I. videos of himself than to do the work he was elected to do. As seen in previous A4L reporting, a 23 year old Youtuber did more to expose fraud in MN than the entire House Fraud Committee combined. His investigative work was what Hudson and other committee members should’ve been doing the whole time! Instead, they were playing politics for the camera. Click image below to see video:

As seen above, Hudson says “Haters will say it’s AI.” and has confused some of his older followers. Some seniors are under the impression that Hudson partook in a skit and do not know that the Sora logo in the video means that it is artificial intelligence. In reality, Hudson is desperately trying to emulate Nick Shirley and distract from how useless he and the Fraud Committee have been in protecting tax dollars.

The Fraud Committee has been a fraud since its inception and A4L has called it out as such since the beginning. The committee has no subpoena power (cannot compel testimony) and legislation is not required to move through it. The committee was established as a concession from Democrats in exchange for Republicans seating leftist Brad Tabke despite more ballots being trashed than what the margin of victory was. In short, this means that RINO leadership like empty suit Lisa “Kamala” Demuth certified election fraud in exchange for a fake committee. When voted on by the chamber, only Reps. Tom Dippel (41B) and Drew Roach (58B) voted against the certification of Tabke’s election/the Dem’s phony swearing in ceremony which means every other House Democrat and Republican (including Walter Hudson) voted to certify fraud. Some House Republicans have since realized how stupid this move was.

The use of A.I. is particularly ironic for Walter Hudson considering that he led the charge to pass a bill (HF1370) that sends Minnesotans to prison for creating or sharing A.I. memes that could “influence the result of an election”. Thanks to Walter Hudson, radical socialist Keith Ellison now has another tool to weaponize the law against conservatives by imprisoning anyone who dares to mock politicians. This isn't even the first time Hudson has made A.I. memes that potentially violate his own law!

During the 3/30/23 floor debate of the A.I. bill, Hudson took time to praise leftist Democrat Zach Stephenson (now House Dem leader) by saying “It seems like every time I get up to address something you’ve said or done I’m praising it. I hope to be able to continue that.” Hudson then thanked Stephenson for the “proactive” nature of the bill and admitted that the implementation of the law may be “a little sloppy” but says “That’s okay, we’ll figure it out.” The big government, anti-freedom, pro-Democrat logic employed by Hudson proves he has no care for the average citizen but will gladly create and share A.I. memes to prop himself up.

As seen in the 2025 A4L scorecard (Hudson scored a pathetic 45.83%), Hudson is responsible for the fraud we see just like Democrats and RINOs by voting for all kinds of garbage omnibus bills. If a legislator votes for omnibus budget (spending) bills then they are responsible for contributing to the mass fraud our state is seeing. A source at the Capitol tells A4L that Hudson advocated for the abortion & Planned Parenthood funding omnibus bill (HF2435) in the GOP caucus meeting but then voted no on the floor. This means Hudson was reportedly telling other Republicans to do his dirty work and make sure the abortion bill was passed while avoiding egg on his face. This type of behavior should be no surprise considering he previously labelled President Trump as a "fascist", wants to purge grassroots conservative A4L supporters like you from the MNGOP (despite him loving A4L before he was in the legislature), and worked as a henchman for corrupt former MNGOP Chair David Hann.

Action 4 Liberty remains the hard-hitting, truth-telling, pro-liberty source for Patriots. Instead of pretending that RINOs are fighting for your interests, A4L exposes how Democrats and RINOs are working together to screw you over. Hudson has to use A.I. because he and the Fraud Committee twiddled their thumbs instead of doing on the ground investigations like Nick Shirley. A4L will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.

A firestorm of attention has taken place on social media since due to massive fraud exposed in Minnesota by Youtuber Nick Shirley. Many are wondering how a 23 year old independent journalist with a limited budget and a hoodie as his signature attire was better able to expose the billions in fraud (most prevalently within the Somali immigrants) than the politicians in the State Capitol. Between Nick Shirley’s videos and President Trump’s laser-focus on Somali fraud, Minnesota politics has catapulted into another realm.

At the beginning of the 2025 legislative session, the House GOP formed a Fraud Committee that had no subpoena power and legislation was not required to pass through committee. In exchange for the GOP forming the committee and giving themselves a majority, Lisa Demuth and other GOP House leaders agreed to seat radical leftist Brad Tabke despite 21 ballots being trashed in his race where the margin of victory was just 14 votes. In short, this means that the House GOP (with exception to Reps. Tom Dippel & Drew Roach) agreed to accept election fraud and recognize an illegitimate swearing-in ceremony in order to have a committee that does nothing more than blow hot air. The RINOs have no credibility on fighting fraud!

The Fraud Committee has served no purpose other than propping up their RINO members as supposed fighters of fraud. Meanwhile, many of the RINOs seated on the committee vote for the massive, unconstitutional, big government omnibus bills that have made Minnesota a fraud-ridden national embarrassment. If you vote to fund the very fraud that is being exposed, you cannot be trusted to expose the truth. 

When Fraud Committee member Isaac Schultz was presented evidence of RINO Rep. Ron Kresha (10A) allegedly committed PPP loan fraud by illegally collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars by listing independent contractors as employees, the RINO Fraud Committee members decided that they would not investigate it or do anything to hold Kresha accountable! In the eyes of the RINOs, they do not care about fraud when one of their own is responsible! The Fraud Committee is a FRAUD!

Fraud Committee Republicans including Kristin Robbins (37A), Patti Anderson (33A), Walter Hudson (30A), Marion Rarick (29B), and Isaac Schultz (10B) have failed in protecting Minnesota from fraud, they’ve only been playing politics. Nobody expected Dems to do anything but protect Walz and Somali fraud but some will be shocked to learn that the RINO committee members are equally useless!

In one case, a Somali learning center cannot even spell the word “learning” correctly! Again, how was this exposed by a random Youtuber before the Republicans on the Fraud Committee!?!? See below:

While Action 4 Liberty has long exposed the facade of the Fraud Committee, the viewpoint that they are nothing more than professional wrestling-politics is growing. A Youtuber did the work that the Fraud Committee should’ve been doing all along! Establishment GOP Governor candidates, Chris Madel and Scott Jensen, each slammed the useless Fraud Committee on X. See below:

Naturally, this got Walter Hudson all worked up! Perhaps Hudson should be investigating fraud on behalf of taxpayers instead of spending most of his miserable life arguing with conservatives on social media. Hudson is desperate for attention and feels entitled to be honored for twiddling his thumbs with the rest of the Fraud Committee. See below:

The RINOs know that they have just been caught sitting on their hands after funding fraud and they are desperate to redefine the narrative. Just like A4L reporting that showed President Trump trolling Tom Emmer over his love of Somalia, the RINOs do not want conservatives to know their true positions. Even Tom Emmer argues that Shirley exposed more fraud than Walz and Ellison have in 7 years (despite Emmer co-forming the Somali Caucus with Ellison in 2015). Audio even shows how Emmer berated his constituents for pushing back against mass Somali immigration and Emmer ridiculously said that Somalis are "some of the fastest assimilating populations that we've had." After years of putting Somalis above average Americans, Emmer now wants you to believe that he is fighting against this garbage!

For another example, House Speaker Lisa Demuth voted for EVERY SINGLE omnibus bill during the 2025 session and special session. Now Lisa Demuth is propping up Shirley’s reporting while being eviscerated in the replies on X! She has a terrible voting record and funded the fraud she claims she will fix! Between Demuth and Walz, neither are serious about shrinking the government and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse of tax dollars.

While Nick Shirley’s on-the-ground reporting provided some incredible information, much of this fraud has been known for years. Action 4 Liberty has been fighting for nearly a decade against child care fraud and the politicians who vote to fund it. Social services have been abused by Somalis for years yet RINOs voted for the Human Services spending omnibus bill in 2023 and 2025. RINOs even voted with Dems to fund Somali Muslim terrorist group Al-Shabaab with your tax dollars!

Unlike the career politicians with no credibility, Governor candidate Mike Lindell is gaining major grassroots support as an outsider businessman. As seen in previous A4L reporting, Lindell pulled no punches on Infowars when discussing Somali fraud and many Minnesota conservatives are looking for a statesman who isn’t tied to the corrupt Establishment. With President Trump’s quasi-endorsement, Lindell has jumped in front of the crowded field and become a frontrunner.

President Trump, Nick Shirley, a few journalists, and grassroots conservatives like you are the reason the fraud is being exposed, NOT the double-speaking RINO legislators. A4L remains on the forefront of exposing corruption in Minnesota by holding all politicians’ feet to the fire. More and more prosecutions, evidence, and exposure is on the horizon. A4L will continue serving the interests of the grassroots by protecting liberty for the next generation.

Action 4 Liberty is the leading source for freedom-loving Patriots because we report the truth with no punches pulled. Our pro-grassroots, hardcore style has led to several victories in the liberty battles we have taken on this year. 2025 saw various wins and losses for liberty, especially in Minnesota, and Action 4 Liberty has been ready to expose it all!

A4L continues to punch above our weight due to the massive support we receive from grassroots conservatives across our state. We will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation and that requires calling out corruption regardless of who is at fault or what party they belong to. See our top 25 stories of the year below highlighting the important work we have led on!

1. Otter Tail County BPOU Decertified

!

True to character (or lack thereof), on his way out the door, Hann delivered the final blow to Otter Tail County (OTC) by sending letters to the Campaign Finance Board and the Secretary of State requesting the decertification of the OTC BPOU… Hann’s swan song of unconstitutional and vindictive actions."

2. Otter Tail BPOU Decertification Blocked by New MNGOP Chair

"Action 4 Liberty supporters and OTC conservatives pushed Alex Plechash across the finish line, many of which initially supported the candidacy of Bret Bussman as the grassroots candidate. Conservatives statewide had become fed up with Hann weaponizing the party to the benefit of the establishment so they decided to kick Hann to the curb. Hann’s actions against the OTC grassroots conservatives was one of the major reasons he was FIRED by the State Central delegate body.

New MNGOP Chair Alex Plechash has fought Hann’s actions by stopping the decertification of the OTC BPOU, which is exactly why delegates elected him! This is a great start but the job is not done in Otter Tail."

3. BREAKING: MN House Dems Violate Law; Hold Phony Swearing In Ceremony

"We now can report that Democrats have taken their reality denialism to the next level by holding a phony, illegitimate, non-binding, make-believe swearing-in ceremony today (1/12/25) at the MN History Center with the help of retired Judge Kevin Burke! Democrats are now claiming that they have been sworn in as an effort to block Republican control of the House and likely to get members added onto the payroll. They are simply masquerading as sworn in members, their tactics cannot stand in the House."

4. Action 4 Liberty in DC for President Trump’s Inauguration

"Upon receiving tickets for Trump’s inauguration from new MNGOP leadership, Action 4 Liberty’s President Erik Mortensen and MAGA Jesse flew out to Washington, DC to be a part of this great American comeback story. The energy and excitement in our nation’s Capital was electric thanks to the hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters in the DC area."

5. Corrupt House Deal Reached: RINOs Will Seat Tabke Despite 21 Missing Ballots

"A4L can now report that the GOP has completely submitted to Democrats and have GIVEN UP their Majority! RINO leadership has also reportedly agreed to seat Brad Tabke despite 21 missing ballots and a 14 vote margin of victory. 

The "party of election integrity" is going to block election integrity!"

6. UNHINGED Walter Hudson Calls on MNGOP to Disqualify Liberty Grassroots from Party

"A strange and pathetic line of attack has come from bitter swamp-creature Walter Hudson (30A) who is demanding that the MNGOP ban and disqualify the tens of thousands of grassroots Patriots who are associated to A4L! This is more insane and authoritarian than we would ever see out of RINOs like David Hann, Paul Gazelka, and Kurt Daudt! It appears that wasting his life away on social media has given him a potentially incurable case of A4LDS (A4L Derangement Syndrome)."

7. Senate RINOs & Dems Vote to Collect Per-Diem Pay while Not at Capitol

"The Minnesota state Senate voted on Monday, Feb. 24th, on a resolution titled S.R. 14 which dealt with a variety of rules and parameters for the Senate chamber and their members. Among the issues addressed was allowing blatant acts of corruption by giving Senators permission to collect per-diem while they are voting remotely (which means they are not traveling to the Capitol for work, AKA the whole purpose of per-diem)!"

8. RINOs KILL Never Again Bill on Floor; Push Fake, Weak Version

"After Long introduced the Amendment, Jim Nash moved to KILL the Never Again Bill by claiming it is not germane even though it is addressing the same subject matter! Just like Nash did in committee, he wants to stall the Never Again Bill and prevent the GOP from being put on record! Harry Niska also spoke in favor of killing the bill despite stealing language and talking points about our bill. Empty suit Speaker Lisa “Kamala” Demuth initially said she found Nash’s point of order not well taken but then immediately flipped and said it was well taken, which means to block a vote on this bill. This parliamentary trickery led to a vote on whether or not the body should uphold Demuth’s decision where every single Republican caved and refused to let the Never Again Bill replace the fake version."

9. Truth Finally Exposed; MNGOP Paid Kamala Supporter Brodkorb Tens of Thousands of Dollars

"Conservatives across our state have long awaited the truth surrounding the mystery Wyoming based company, 1972-10, which received tens of thousands of dollars from contracts with the party during the reign of RINO David Hann. This information was requested by the MNGOP state central delegation and the party had refused to be transparent until Action 4 Liberty announced we would release the details.

Former A4L President Jake Duesenberg was informed by MNGOP Chair Alex Plechash that the signer on checks related to this company was none other than 'White dude for Kamala' Michael Brodkorb! However, Plechash begged Jake not to share the truth!

YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PARTY WERE WASTED TO ENRICH A BIG GOVERNMENT LIBERAL!"

10. Tyrant Timmy Calls for Shadow Govt. to Fight Trump; More Communist China Ties Uncovered

"To make matters worse, new evidence has emerged surrounding a secret Communist Chinese organization in Minnesota and Walz’ connection with their affiliated people! Reporting from Breitbart and the Government Accountability Institute has found that a Chinese Communist Party front operation is happening in St. Paul! A building allegedly is home to the Overseas Chinese Services Center of Minnesota which apparently works under the CCP’s united front. 

Chinese Dictator Xi Jinping describes united front work as one of the CCP’s 'magic weapons' that helps 'undermine the sovereignty and integrity of the political system of targeted states.'"

11. House Republicans Cement In $14 Billion Democrat Budget Increase

"But yesterday Republicans announced they cut a "deal" with the Democrats a month and a half before the legislative session ends. That "deal" cements in $14.5 Billion of the new Democrat spending and only reduces base level spending (what was projected to be spent) for the upcoming FY 2026-27 biennium by a measly $1.16 Billion. Republicans are proposing to keep the bloated state government spending at an elevated spending level of $66.6 Billion."

12. HEATED GOP Debate in SD6; Conservative Doug Kern Praises Never Again Bill

"Of the seven candidates in attendance, only ONE candidate has signed A4L’s Never Again Pledge to prove that he will support the strongest piece of legislation to prevent Walz or any future Governor from ever locking down our state again with abusive Emergency Powers. All other candidates have refused to stand with the conservative grassroots that A4L became the voice for during Covid tyranny."

13. House RINOs & Dems Pass Unconstitutional Bill Increasing ANTIFA Keith’s Budget and Funds Radical Left Groups

"46 RINOs and 67 Democrats in the state House passed the State Government Finance omnibus bill (SF3045). Crooked, uniparty politicians craft these big government bills to hide their corruption. This is a massive, multi-subject, unconstitutional bill that gives funds almost all government operations. Among other garbage proposals, this budget bill increases to ANTIFA Keith Ellison’s budget and gives over $1.2M to the 'Council on LGBTQIA2S+ Minnesotans'."

14. House RINOs Vote for Abortion Funding; MNGOP Chair Plechash Lies to Cover for Them

"All State House Democrats but one and 29 RINOs just voted to spend your taxpayer dollars on abortion funding. No clearer standard could ever be established for which Republicans legislators are RINOs than supporting taxpayer funded abortions. Despite Republicans holding the gavel and enough votes to block any legislation, RINOs will always drop the ball and work with big government Democrats."

15. Corrupt Special Session Passes 2nd Largest Budget in MN History, Abortion Funding, and Woke Policies

"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."

16. Major Victory: Charges Dropped in Anti-2nd Amendment Case

"Action 4 Liberty will never waiver on the 2nd Amendment and celebrates the total dismissal of Walker Anderson’s bogus charges. Patriots must keep up the momentum we see statewide and nationally to push the right-wing cultural movement as far as it can reach. Big government politicians should look to this case as an example to not just put more laws on the books willy-nilly because those laws can be used to destroy good, honest people’s lives." 

17. Tampon Tim’s Lying History on Display at Minnesota State Fair

"Action 4 Liberty continues to chart the course for Patriots who reject the Establishment by calling out our state’s failed Governor at the “great Minnesota get-together” that brought in nearly 2 Million visitors in 2024. we received national and international coverage for our booth last year and expect to make another big impact!

The A4L booth is targeted to expose Tampon Tim’s numerous lies as he considers subjecting Minnesotans to another 4 years of his incompetence. A4L expects to draw major attention with our booth calling out 'Timocchio' and the lying politician that he is!"

18. Swing District Dems Hide From Their Omar Fateh Endorsement

"Seeberger and Putnam are not the only Democrats pushing the illusion of moderate Democrats in office, in fact, it is the very premise of the fake name 'Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party'. Speaking things into existence never works if the truth tells us the opposite. Nothing about modern day MN Democrats in office is representative of farmers or laborers, however, Democrats will continue to repeat their talking points using a fake moderate, dishonest political framework until their true colors are exposed."

19. Sen. Wesenberg Introduces Bill to Commission Charlie Kirk Statue for U of M Campus

"Sen. Wesenberg released a press release stating that he will introduce legislation to dedicate funds from Minnesota’s Legacy Amendment to commission a statue of Charlie Kirk at the University of Minnesota to commemorate Kirk and his legacy of fighting for free speech on college campuses. If called to a special session, Wesenberg will push this legislation to be passed immediately. In the press release, Sen. Wesenberg states Rep. Ben Davis will carry the legislation in the House.

The funding for this project will come from Minnesota's Legacy Amendment which has funded all kinds of Somali services, lgbtq+, and even openly demonic events. With this in mind and the understanding that this money will be spent no matter what, this money is better served to honor a free speech warrior than the wasteful and evil spending that this fund has been used for."

20. A4L Knocking Doors in St. Cloud Exposing Radical Leftist Sen. Aric Putnam

"A4L’s team of door-knockers have been hitting the streets of St. Cloud for weeks and we are building traction! On issues like taxpayer funded tuition for illegal aliens, keeping boys out of girls sports and locker rooms, and unaffordable tax hikes, it is clear that Aric Putnam is at odds with his constituents."

21. RINO Rep. Ron Kresha Served $965K Lawsuit Over Alleged PPP Loan Fraud

"While the lamestream media and Establishment politicians cover up for crooked politicians, A4L is never afraid to say the truth. With exception to Action 4 Liberty, there is silence among the political class when it comes to allegations of RINO state Rep. Ron Kresha (10A) committing PPP loan fraud by falsely labeling independent contractors as employees." 

22. Itasca Citizens Fight Back Against Massive Tax Hike; Commissioners Starting to Concede

"Many of the citizens in Itasca were savvy enough to reject the Commissioner’s excuses. Citizens suggested the county find more to cut in their budget, tap into their budget reserves, and refuse to enforce the liberal unfunded mandates. Commissioners argued that Itasca would be facing major lawsuits and their bond rating (government debt allowance) could weaken if they did that but the Citizens made it clear: THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE DEMANDING!NO NEW TAXES!"

23. Politicians Lie, Media Parrots; Truth is MN Has Surplus, Not a Deficit

"As seen in the 'Balance before Reserves' section, there is an over $6.2B surplus listed for 26-27! That money should ALL go right back to the taxpayers! If the state did so, taxpayers would receive around $2,500 each!"

24. CD7 RINOs Undermine Will of Delegates; Impeach Bussman as Chair

"Action 4 Liberty has kept the public informed throughout this developing battle from its inception to the impeachment documents to Bussman’s response to Bussman fighting back to documenting that Reps. Jeff Backer (9A) and Tom Murphy (9B) opposed Bussman’s removal. 

The impeachment effort against Bussman was just about as ridiculous as the impeachments against President Trump! In both cases, the Establishment did not have a real reason to remove them, they just didn’t want them in power!"

25. Trump Trolls Tom Emmer for Leftist Record, Says Emmer is ‘Big Fan of Somalia’

"As seen in previous A4L reporting, Tom Emmer co-formed the Congressional Somali Caucus alongside radical socialist Keith Ellison, worked with Ellison to send U.S. dollars (remittances) back to Somalia (which is now the main cause of MN taxpayers funding Al-Shabaab), scolded conservative constituents concerned with mass Somali migration into their community, and Emmer also worked with fake moderate Democrat Amy Klobuchar to send Somalia welfare! Some of this info will be harder to find since Emmer has chosen to DELETE his press release announcing he and Ellison were forming the Somali Caucus! Luckily for conservatives, the press release can still be located from archives on the Wayback Machine."

Minnesota’s Governor race continues gaining national attention as fraud estimates have grown to nearly $10B under the failed leadership of Tim Walz. Following Walz’ humiliating stint as Kamala’s VP nominee he announced he would seek an unprecedented third term, something no Governor has ever achieved in MN. With reports and indictments growing due to fraud overseen by Walz, Keith Ellison, and State Auditor Julie Blaha, Republicans have a serious opportunity to retake state offices.

In 2022, Tim Walz received a little more than 1.3M votes against Scott Jensen. In 2024, President Trump received over 1.5M votes in Minnesota. This means that if all Trump supporters vote in the 2026 midterms for the GOP Governor candidate, Walz could finally be ousted. However, the Republican candidate is not entitled to the America First base’s votes and must appeal to their interests in order to win them and motivate them to vote.

The large field of candidates consists of several RINO politicians climbing the political ladder but does feature several grassroots candidates, most notably, My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell. There is no doubt that Lindell is MAGA through and through. Lindell’s efforts to secure our elections and stop the 2020 steal made him an enemy of the corrupt Establishment and like President Trump, the leftists have done all they can to tear Mike down. Unfortunately for them, Lindell gets up every time and keeps swinging!

One person who is recognizing the efforts and exciting candidacy of Lindell is none other than President Donald J. Trump! At a recent rally, President Trump said “You know who’s running for Governor? Mike Lindell, do we like Mike Lindell? [crowd cheers] That man suffered, that man suffered. What he did, what he went through because he knew the [2020] election was rigged and he did it as a Citizen. Mike Lindell, I’ll tell you what every time I introduced him he got the biggest hand. I hope he does great, he deserves to do great. That man suffered, these people went after him, they went after his company. They did that with me too but at least I knew what I was getting into, he was just a guy that said jeez this election is so crooked, its so rigged. He fought like Hell. That guy deserves to be Governor of Minnesota I’ll tell you right now. A great guy too.”  

See video below:

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump says MIKE LINDELL deserves to be GOVERNOR of Minnesota, defeat Tim Walz in 2026 👀

— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) December 20, 2025

President Trump saying that Mike Lindell deserves to be Governor is the closest thing we’ve seen to an endorsement in the race by President Trump! The video clip solidifies what MN conservatives already knew, Mike Lindell is a MAGA fighter who is highly respected by President Trump. If the MNGOP is looking to tap into President Trump to campaign for the eventual GOP nominee, they may now see that Lindell’s candidacy could motivate major Trump involvement in the race. 

Like President Trump said, Democrats have done all they can to try to destroy Lindell’s life and business simply because he is a Trump supporter who fought for election integrity. Instead of holding criminals and fraudsters accountable, Keith Ellison and Democrats have unfairly targeted a successful business owner employing hundreds to thousands of Minnesotans. As a regular citizen, Lindell has been put through the ringer and now he is stepping up to the plate to clean up Minnesota’s corrupt government.

Mike Lindell, like other GOP gubernatorial candidates Phil Parrish, Brad Kohler, Raul Estrada, and John Krhin, has signed A4L’s Never Again Pledge proving that he will reduce the power of the Governorship and prevent any future tyrannical lockdowns. Individuals who reject unconstitutional power and strip themselves of unilateral Emergency Powers prove to grassroots conservatives that they are not business as usual. They are restoring individual liberty and eliminating the tool Walz used to shut down our state while their RINO opponents refuse to sign the pledge.

Tim Walz’ popularity continues to plummet as Minnesotans learn about the massive fraud operation he has overseen as Governor. The 2026 MN Governor election will be watched nationwide and President Trump’s focus on Minnesota will continue to ramp up. President Trump’s quasi-endorsement of Mike Lindell may unify America First conservatives behind his candidacy as a rejection of RINOs and radical leftists like Tim Walz.

Action 4 Liberty will continue providing Patriots with hard-hitting, liberty-based, anti-establishment reporting that cannot be found anywhere else. We will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation and will continue being the megaphone of MN’s grassroots conservative movement.

There is no man more responsible for the demise and failures of the MNGOP more than corrupt former Chair David Hann. His vindictive, tyrannical, and anti-grassroots reign as Chair prevented Republicans from having a strong party that could deliver on electoral and political victories. To the amazement of all, RINO David Hann’s ego is driving him to run for U.S. Senate.

The open U.S. Senate seat provides an opportunity to win statewide but the candidate will only win if they are aligned with the America First base. If you do not have the base’s support, they will not vote for you. RINO David Hann is the anti-thesis of the America First movement and would guarantee GOP defeat.

David Hann’s legacy as corrupt MNGOP Chair will be remembered with the following actions:

1. Secretly paying a Kamala/Walz supporter tens of thousands of dollars in party funds
2. Disenfranchising hundreds of duly-elected Otter Tail County delegates
3. Shredding documents and wiping MNGOP computer servers clean Hillary Clinton-style after losing Chairmanship to Alex Plechash
4. Sent letter to GOP candidates demanding they say abortion is a protected Constitutional Right in Minnesota
5. Keeping the party buried in debt until President Trump bailed them out
6. Deep anti-Trump record: Saying GOP is not the party of Trump in 2017 and 2021, called Trump “vulgar, rude, and obnoxious”, said he was “not a Trump guy”, and did not want President Trump to visit MN in 2022 to help Republicans get elected
7. Playing nice with radical Democrat Ken Martin (treating political opposition like allies)
8. Cutting off data access to endorsed Republican candidates
9. Used under-handed, lie-ridden, and desperate attacks against Action 4 Liberty and the conservative grassroots

Sources tell A4L that RINO pawns Tyler Newcombe and Anna Matthews will run Hann’s campaign. Further, sources tell A4L that Matthews previously told MNGOP delegates that she was forced by David Hann to shred the party documents after his humiliating loss and that she does not condone the actions of Hann. If she is a part of his campaign, Matthews is further exposed as a liar and nasty woman.

Reporting initially broke that Hann was considering a run for Governor but the crowded field of candidates clearly intimidated him. Instead, Hann sees some sort of redemption arc in a laughable U.S. Senate run.

Hann’s U.S. Senate candidacy was immediately swatted down by conservative legislators like Sen. Nathan Wesenberg, Rep. Drew Roach, and groups like CrimeWatchMpls and Rocks and Cows of Minnesota. Royce White has slammed Hann previously as someone who is at war with the grassroots and Royce will likely not hold back with Hann as a full-blown opponent this cycle. Sen. Wesenberg and Paul Tuschy joined A4L founder Jake Duesenberg on the Truth Hurts Show to recount Hann’s corrupt leadership. Even Never-Trump RINO Andy Aplikowski is trashing David Hann and says Hann doesn’t belong anywhere near the MNGOP! See below:

Minnesota Republicans likely have nothing to fear in a Hann candidacy because there is not a single grassroots Republican that likes him. Hann was even condemned by the CD2 GOP at their recent convention. Hann lost the MNGOP Chair position with the State Central delegation, which is much more Establishment-heavy than the larger State Convention delegation or the statewide GOP electorate. This means that Hann has ZERO chance at becoming the nominee.

It appears one of the ONLY people excited for David Hann is RINO Paul Gazelka! See below:

Many speculate that Hann will have the Kamala supporter he secretly paid be a part of his campaign due to the two of them previously doing a podcast together where the Kamala supporter was enamoured by Hann’s bullcrap. If conservatives want to make sure that their donations don’t get funneled into the pockets of leftists, they’ll want to avoid supporting David Hann’s candidacy completely!

In the race for the GOP nomination David Hann joins America First lightning rod and 2024 GOP U.S. Senate nominee Royce White, Marine veteran Adam Schwarze, loony former Democrat Alycia Gruenhagen, eye-patch McCain-endorsed Navy veteran Tom Weiler, Liz Cheney-lover Mike Ruoho, and trucker Ray Petersen. Pro-abortion Michelle Tafoya is also expected to enter the race. Democrats Angie Craig, Peggy Flanagan, and Billy Nord will compete for their party’s nomination. 

Action 4 Liberty will continue providing Patriots hard-hitting, liberty-based, anti-establishment reporting that pulls no punches. A4L will never waiver in our fight to protect liberty for the next generation. People can learn more about corrupt RINO David Hann on DavidHann.com.

The out of control fraud overseen by the Walz Administration has become a national story that some estimate amounts to over $8 BILLION in fraud. Furthermore, the apparent connection between Somali migrants and the fraud is undeniable; That is unless you are a radical leftist like Tim Walz.

Tim Walz is attempting to shift the blame for Somali fraud onto white people! If you are white, the Democrat Party expects you to hate yourself and accept the blame for all of the world’s problems. Walz knows that he cannot rely on evidence or counter-arguments with federal prosecutions proving mass Somali fraud so he appeals to the lowest form of identity politics like some kind of white savior.

Walz’ white savior complex is completely evident. He has chosen to prioritize Somalis that hate our country and illegal alien criminals over regular Minnesotans. Instead of pointing out the obvious that Somalis are responsible for a disproportionate amount of MN fraud (Feeding our Future, child care center scams, and autism center scams), Walz wants to play dumb. See video here.

Tampon Tim apparently doesn’t see any difference between the Somali community and lifelong Minnesotans when it comes to fraud. He even says “It’s not law abiding citizens. If that were the case, there’s a lot of white men who should be holding a lot of white men accountable for the crimes they have committed”. In addition, the welfare state taxpayers are responsible for under Walz is unacceptable! Alpha News reports that nearly 90% of Somali homes with children in MN are on welfare! For some Somalis, they think they are owed a free living from white people and even call taxpayers “white animals”. See below:

Shifting the blame onto white people instead of dealing with the obvious is the exact playbook of Democrats. Walz is showing that he was never serious about ending the mass fraud in our state, he has been enabling and excusing it. As seen in recent KSTP polling, Minnesotans of all political beliefs are seeing that Walz and the Uniparty in the legislature have not done enough to combat fraud.

Action 4 Liberty will remain the hardcore, anti-establishment, pro-liberty sources that refuses to pull punches. Minnesota is on a collision course and voters have the opportunity to change the state’s course in the 2026 election. In order to protect liberty for the next generation, political leaders must be willing to fight from a platform of truth. Tim Walz and the Democrats have proven time and time again that they will not do so.

With President Trump’s targeted focus on Minnesota and the massive amounts of Somali fraud, many MN conservatives are relieved to see this long-standing issue be dealt with. Most Republicans cave and cower away when called names by the Left but President Trump has instead chosen to double down on this critical issue. One example of a weak MN Republican who has been sucking up to the Somali community for years has caught the attention of President Trump and it’s none other than Globalist RINO Tom Emmer!

At the Congressional Ball event at the White House on Dec. 11th, President Trump addressed a bipartisan delegation of federal legislators. In the speech, President Trump trolled Tom Emmer by reminding America “He’s a big fan of Somalia”! See video below:

🚨 LMFAO! President Trump just recognized Minnesota Rep. Tom Emmer and the crowd started shouting "SEND THEM BACK" about Somalis

TRUMP: "Tom is very friendly with the Somalians! He's a big fan of Somalia!"

CROWD: "SEND THEM HOME! SEND THEM HOME!" 🔥 pic.twitter.com/oKMNccHkN6

President Trump may be half-joking but he is right on the money! As seen in previous A4L reporting, Tom Emmer co-formed the Congressional Somali Caucus alongside radical socialist Keith Ellison, worked with Ellison to send U.S. dollars (remittances) back to Somalia (which is now the main cause of MN taxpayers funding Al-Shabaab), scolded conservative constituents concerned with mass Somali migration into their community, and Emmer also worked with fake moderate Democrat Amy Klobuchar to send Somalia welfare! Some of this info will be harder to find since Emmer has chosen to DELETE his press release announcing he and Ellison were forming the Somali Caucus! Luckily for conservatives, the press release can still be located from archives on the Wayback Machine. See an archive below:

Some conservatives have chosen to commemorate Emmer’s love of Somalia with the following memes following the press release deletion. See below:

Tom Emmer is not America First! He is a chess piece of the Globalist agenda and has put Somalia’s interests over his own constituents! He has sucked up to the Somalis for years and is only changing his tune because of the Trump Administration’s focus on the issue! If Emmer was truly America First, he would’ve never wanted fraud-ridden, welfare-leaching Somalis taking over the twin cities!

President Trump is sending a clear signal to the America First conservatives: Don’t trust Tom Emmer. We now have to clean up his mess! It is clear that Tom Emmer is just another crooked politician whose stances change with the wind. It took Emmer years to flip-flop and get on the right side of history while most MN conservatives knew exactly what was going on the whole time. Conservatives wanted deportations of Somalis long before President Trump stripped them of their temporary status. A previous GOP primary opponent to Emmer, A.J. Kern, has been fighting this for years, particularly in relation to Ilhan Omar, and Kern’s work recently made it on President Trump’s radar as she talks about in a recent interview with Alpha News' Liz Collin.

One Republican candidate, Mike Foley, has filed to run against Tom Emmer. Foley was recently interviewed on The Truth Hurts Show and appears to largely be running due to Emmer’s unresponsiveness to Foley’s constituent concerns. Unfortunately for conservatives, Foley may be EVEN SOFTER than Emmer on the critical issue of Somali fraud! Foley was also recently quoted in the Star Tribune saying “Emmer not defending the Somali community is a key example of that disconnect,”. 

2024 Republican CD6 candidate, Chris Corey, may run against Emmer in 2026 but has not yet made a decision. Corey was the constitutional conservative who challenged Emmer previously and was censored and blocked from speaking at the CD6 GOP convention despite meeting each qualification laid out in the CD6 Constitution. After the RINOs wouldn’t allow any competition at the convention, Corey continued his campaign into the primary and outperformed CD1 and CD8’s Republican opposition to incumbents.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to provide hard-hitting, liberty-based, and anti-establishment reporting that cannot be found anywhere else. Globalist RINO Tom Emmer is being exposed as a fake MAGA career politician who put Somalians above regular Americans for years. A4L will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation. 

The issue of redistricting has become a major political battle across the country due to Republicans combatting long-standing Democrat gerry-mandering. In states across the country, Republicans are not winning an equal amount of congressional representation as their statewide voter percentage. For just one example, Trump won over 36% of the vote in 2024 in Massachusetts yet all 9 of their Congressional seats (and two Senators) are far-left liberals! That is happening in blue states across the country.

Republicans are beginning to realize that when you have power, you’d be a fool to let it go to waste. GOP Governors and state legislatures have been introducing new congressional district maps in order to combat Democrat gerrymandering. With the 2026 midterms coming up, Republicans are looking for prevent Democrat control of Congress. As many know, the party in control of the White House typically comes out on the losing end of midterms.

In the Republican controlled state of Indiana, a Republican intra-party battle has exploded and is gaining national attention. In short, a contingency of RINO legislators opposed the Republican’s plan for redistricting, effectively blocking any chance for the plan to pass. This is getting pushback across the country and from many prominent conservative voices including the Vice President of the United States. See examples below:

Indiana Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith announced he would be helping in the fight to replace the RINO state legislators who backstabbed the conservative base. See below:

https://x.com/blakeburman/status/1999265937984487558?s=46

Minnesota Republicans should take a valuable lesson away from the pressure campaign that is being mounted in Indiana: It is a good thing to pressure Republicans when they are not fighting for the interests of conservatives! If there is no push-back in the GOP, the party will stand for absolutely nothing!

As seen in previous A4L reporting, this mentality is growing and was even showcased by former Trump Press Secretary Sean Spicer on the issue of funding Planned Parenthood. Spicer, like the average conservative, knows that the party must be held accountable to the base that elected them!

MN conservatives are fed up with RINO politicians that fund abortion/Planned Parenthood, seat Democrats like Brad Tabke despite more ballots thrown out than the margin of victory, cutting backroom deals with Walz, or any other garbage RINOs do that shrinks liberty and/or grows government. Action 4 Liberty will continue to be the megaphone of the grassroots and will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.
