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.

The special session has officially been set for Monday, June 9th and the terms of which were agreed to by Walz and the party leaders of the House and Senate. The agreement attempts to force 14 bills through the legislature during a single day of session with no amendments allowed from the body. The bills will spend billions upon billions of tax dollars and contribute to the 2nd largest budget in MN history when passed or the groundwork will be set for a state government shutdown. Many of these bills will be massive unconstitutional omnibus bills with all kinds of woke, big government spending and policies tucked deep inside of them.

In the agreement, 14 bills are listed out and certain terms of process are laid out for the special session. Included in this is all party leaders pledging to block all amendments on the floor unless they all agree to it. They want to block the ability of a legislator to legislate! They do not want legislators to represent their constituents or their concerns on the floor. They do not want legislators to be able to influence legislation. They simply want legislators to act as a human conveyor belt.

GOP legislators should feel insulted that their party leaders have such little faith in their ability to legislate, the Uniparty wants all the big decisions made in closed-door conversations with party bosses. Republican party leaders have implemented the exact opposite negotiation style of ‘The Art of the Deal’. If you want to know who and what the Uniparty is in Minnesota, look no further than this agreement and the signers of it, then see who votes for it all. See deal below:

There is mention in the agreement for the suspension of the rules and a declaration of urgency be established under Article IV, Section 19 of the MN Constitution to prevent the bills from going through the standard legislative process requiring bills to be heard three times before being voted on for final passage. The mentioned House and Senate rules also pertain to this issue. With Demuth and Johnson signing, they are saying that they have the GOP votes (23 in the House and 11 in the Senate) necessary to help Democrats suspend the rules by meeting the two-thirds requirement on the vote.

According to sources at the Capitol, there was no majority that explicitly agreed in the GOP House or Senate caucuses to the terms of this agreement. RINO party leaders Speaker Lisa Demuth and Senate minority leader Mark Johnson are elected by their caucus to represent the will of the majority of the Republican legislators. If Demuth and Johnson are signing onto big government deals with Democrats without the blessing of the majority of their given caucus, the GOP legislators would have serious reason to look for new leadership at the top.

While we would love to give Patriots the inside scoop on this legislation, only about half of the drafts of the bills are publicly available on the MN Legislative website as of this article’s publishing. We the People have been left in the dark in these backroom discussions. Democrats and RINO party leaders are signing off on all kinds of corruption and promising the votes of their party to get the bills passed when those same legislators haven’t seen the bills in full themselves! Aside from piecing together hours of joint committee meetings on these bills, it will be very difficult for members of the public to know what is going on at all until the bills can be read. Even most of the legislators have no idea what is in all of these bills!

With the Speakership and shared majority in the House, Demuth made the worst deal of all signers because she had serious leverage and could’ve been a hard-line negotiator. Instead, Demuth started sounding like a Democrat throughout negotiations as she began calling illegal aliens “undocumented Minnesotans”. It will be very telling if Demuth uses the Speakership to block Republican legislators in the House from proposing conservative amendments or how she will limit their speech. Considering the large amount of bills the Uniparty hopes to pass in a single day, Republican members speaking at all halts the agenda. Empty Suit Lisa 'Kamala' Demuth does not care what she is pushing politically, she's just happy to be the one doing it.

The topic of the bill addressing free healthcare for illegal alien adults is one that still requires more clarity and transparency. This bill and the Health omnibus bill are not publicly available on the MN Legislative website to read as of publishing. Our previous reporting highlighted Demuth flip-flopping on the funding for illegal alien free healthcare and her willingness to support a stand-alone bill funding this with some sort of GOP concession for funding of their choice. Clearly she does not understand the proper role of government and does not have a grasp of (or belief in) conservative principles.

Since our previous reporting, it appears the nature of the stand alone bill could have flipped on its head, be designed to fail, will do nothing, and gives cover to Republicans as a pretend drawing line in the sand. Instead of including the removal of free illegal alien healthcare within the Health omnibus bill, they are having a stand alone bill supposedly removing the funding of free illegal alien healthcare. Until the bill is publicly available, all will be speculation. We will inform readers as soon as we can. There are a few possibilities in play until then:

1. The bill does eliminate the funding but will not pass (Dem leaders withhold votes or Walz vetoes) and is meant to serve as a way for Republicans to pretend they are fighting to strip the funding
2. The bill does not actually cut off all free healthcare for illegal aliens (will be discovered once bill is publicly available)
3. The bill does eliminate all funding and passes both chambers

The only way Republicans can eliminate free healthcare for illegal aliens is to pass a vote that amends MN Statute section 256L.04 subdivision 10 and section 256B.06 subdivision 4, which was changed to include illegal aliens in MinnesotaCare in the 2023 Health omnibus bill (SF2995). If this is not repealed and changed correctly, illegal aliens will still receive socialist benefits. 

We know to keep our expectations low with politicians and will inform Patriots what takes place. As listed in the agreement above, the bill is titled “Modifying MinnesotaCare for Undocumented Adults Bill” which does not explicitly say funding would be eliminated and could be some kind of reduction. If it is the case that the bill doesn’t really end the funding or . If we are also to take each party leader at their word, it would mean Hortman and Murphy will, on their own or with politically convenient members, will vote with Republicans on the bill. The internal dynamics of the Democrat party might certainly explode in that scenario as well. A veto from Walz cannot be taken out of contention either, don't forget, he is the guy who just told Democrats that they need to be "meaner"! Who thinks Walz wouldn't lie during negotiations then do what he wants?

The House GOP broke the news about their deal with Democrats with the following:

“More updates coming soon”... What?!? Why can’t the GOP be upfront on the deal they made with Walz? They are caving to Democrats on spending and policy while taking potshots over the past. While it is true that no-show Democrats halted legislative action in the opening days, it was House Republicans caving to liberal demands of seating leftist Brad Tabke (54A) despite the massive election fraud and razor thin vote margin and it appears the same spinelessness is on display again.

GOP Establishment Rep. Walter Hudson (30A) has even posted on X suggesting that members may not be “obedient” to the terms of the special session. See below:

Action 4 Liberty encourages legislators to legislate! Legislators should feel free to make amendments, offer speeches in debate, and represent their constituents fully during this special session. They should not be relegated to being a puppet of their party leadership. A4L encourages all legislators to think for themselves and oppose the big government omnibus package put forward by Walz and Uniparty legislative leaders. GOP Reps and Senators do NOT have to just do as they are told. They do NOT have to suspend the rules to help Democrats. 

Radical leftists, RINOs, and other big government tyrants are destroying our state and conservatives can NEVER take a shutdown off of the table. Our previous reporting highlighted how conservative legislators could leverage a government shutdown in order to get conservative policy wins and spending cuts. If Republicans are not willing to take a fight to its logical end, radical leftists will always take advantage. We will keep Patriots informed when more information surrounding the finer details of the special session are available.

As the special session approaches, crooked politicians hope to craft a corrupt omnibus bonding (debt) bill to finance pet projects for lobbyists and special interests on the taxpayer’s behalf. Alongside pushing the 2nd largest state budget in MN history, the Uniparty is looking to give our state $700 Million in new debt.

Bonding bills authorize the state to take on debt since crooked politicians ALWAYS want more money to waste. These bills require the support of 60% or more in both the state House and Senate. With the GOP Speakership, 67-67 tie in the House, and the one member Democrat majority in the Senate, Republicans have the opportunity to flex their power and block any debt bill because their votes would be needed for the legislation to pass.

Instead of taking this opportunity to defeat the plan head-on, or at the very least get concessions such as repealing radical Democrat trifecta-era policies, the GOP is working with Democrats to pass the debt bill! Action 4 Liberty has previously reported on pay-to-play Sen. Sandy Pappas (SD65) pushing for a $1.3 Billion debt plan and RINO Senator Karin Housely (SD33) also showing interest in the massive debt plan. The plan has obviously been cut, thanks only to the March 6th state budget forecast setting a $700 Million maximum debt capacity. Leave it to the corrupt Uniparty to give our state as much debt as the forecast says can happen, remember, they don’t have to put our state in debt at all. 

Sources at the Capitol for say the bonding bill will only contain funding for specific projects within the twin cities and will give money to the MN Dept. of Transportation to divvy out on projects! The state government wants to take on debt to give to one of its government agencies?!? Plus the legislature would also be handing off major appropriation responsibility over to MNDOT that they should be doing themselves if they're going to do it at all. Sources also tell A4L that House Capital Investment co-chair RINO Rep. Mary Franson (12B) agreed to package because it gives $20M to the Alexandria Technical & Community College in her district, showing that Republicans will ditch conservative values as soon as it benefits them politically. The final bill is not publicly available as of this article's publishing, it can be accessed here once it is published.

The plan to give our state $700 Million in new debt is not just being talked about in the Senate, RINO House Speaker Lisa Demuth appears to also be on board! In a 6/4/25 press conference, Demuth said the discussions are ongoing to pass the bill and was supportive of the bill moving forward! While Democrats have steamrolled massive spending and debt for years, Demuth is maintaining the status quo and doing NOTHING to fight for conservative interests.

To make matters worse, it is also reported that Senate Republicans have agreed to put up votes for the bonding bill (among other things). This means RINO Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson (SD1) or another Senate GOP leader has agreed with Democrats on a bonding bill, perhaps without the blessing of the GOP caucus. See below:

As mentioned previously, Republicans have enough votes in both chambers to block this bill from passing since it requires 60% support. If Republicans draw a hard line in the sand for fiscal responsibility, our state will be much better off. Bonding bills are not required to fund the state government and are simply used as an omnibus dumpster-fire of projects that incumbents can use to campaign on. The Uniparty has no concept of taking ideas one at a time and debating it on its own, singular merits. 

Conservative legislators should be doing all they can to fight a debt-ridden bonding bill, not cheering it on! If they hold firm, they can block big government debt and make our state more fiscally sound. RINOs who choose to vote for more debt will be co-signing hundreds of millions in wasteful spending in return for some project. Action 4 Liberty will keep Patriots up to date on the status of this and where it ultimately lands.

Despite holding the Speakership and a shared majority in the state House of Representatives, House Republicans have been an abysmal failure by caving to radical Democrats instead of fighting for conservative principles. Among other RINOs, Speaker Lisa Demuth deserves particular blame.

A major point of contention during the end of the legislative session was the issue of illegal alien adults receiving taxpayer funded healthcare. While our own citizens struggle to pay their bills and make ends meet in Minnesota, Democrats chose to prioritize giving free healthcare instead to illegal aliens. Initially, it seemed Republicans were drawing a hard line and would not allow this to pass, however, it appears things have changed.

The Walz/Demuth/Hortman/Murphy budget deal had a series of set agreements, among them was stripping the funding for free healthcare for illegal alien adults. Democrats have since continued to push to add this spending to the deal whether it be in the Health omnibus bill (HF2435) or in a stand alone bill.

In a 6/4/25 press conference, Speaker Lisa Demuth appeared to pivot on the question and suggested that if a stand alone bill on this issue was taken up that the GOP could allow it with a “contingency”. What exactly would Demuth and the GOP caucus want in return? From the sounds of it, Demuth is not asking for a cut in government, in fact, her contingency would be giving MORE money to the “MDH”, perhaps something like pregnancy centers. We presume Demuth is referring to the MN Dept. of Health when she says “MDH” in the press conference. She may argue that she is instead pursuing a redirection of funds. It is not immediately clear which GOP Reps would join Demuth to pass this Democrat agenda item. This can be seen at the 2 minute mark in this press conference.

You read that right, RINO Speaker Lisa Demuth is CAVING to radical Democrats on funding for free healthcare for illegal aliens!

In the above-mentioned press conference and in a 5/19/25 press conference, Demuth has referred to illegal aliens using ultra-woke, leftist terms like “undocumented immigrants”, “undocumented people”, or even "undocumented Minnesotans"! Are these our friends and neighbors or are these uninvited invaders? We have dealt with years where millions of criminals have poured across our open border under Biden and Lisa Demuth is busy trying not to offend them instead of stripping all Socialist benefits for them! Is Lisa Demuth in the same party as President Trump?!?! Republicans won the election nationally under the America First vision on immigration set forth by President Donald Trump, instead of implementing that policy, Demuth is working with Democrats against it.

Lisa Demuth has earned her nicknames of empty suit Lisa ‘Kamala’ Demuth or Demuth Equity and Inclusion (DEI)! She stands for nothing and is a fake conservative! As Speaker, Demuth has brought to the floor and passed massive, unconstitutional omnibus bills containing radical Democrat policies including (among other things) budget increases for ANTIFA Keith Ellison & the LGBTQIA2S+ Council, taxpayer funded abortions, and DEI in schools. A Speaker ultimately decides which bills will be calendared each day which means Demuth bears the most responsibility for the corruption we’ve witnessed in the House this session. 

If MN Democrats are able to teach us anything, it is that they draw lines in the sand and are willing to enforce that viewpoint in total lockstep until the bitter end. Meanwhile, spineless RINOs abandon the conservative base to advance themselves higher into the Uniparty Swamp.

Republicans have pissed away all of their power and leverage by conceding to woke Democrats and maintaining the bloated, over-spending big government by pushing a left-wing, surplus-killing budget deal which will be the 2nd largest budget in our state's history. Conservatives across our state are fed up with crooked RINO politicians telling voters what they want to hear during elections then backstab them once they get into office.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to expose the RINO politicians as the incoming special session nears. As the leader of the conservative grassroots movement of our state, we will never sell-out or abandon our liberty conservative principles. We are a threat to the Establishment because we expose their game and all of the corrupt players. We will always stand shoulder to shoulder with the conservative grassroots and reject the RINO Uniparty Swamp tactics to keep government bloated.

RINO Ron Kresha (10A) is the poster-child in Minnesota for corrupt career politician RINOs and the residents of his district have become fed up. Kresha has failed to earn the local party’s endorsement in the last two election cycles (2022 & 2024) and was nearly defeated in the 2024 GOP primary by grassroots conservative candidate Diane Webb-Skillings in what was the closest State Representative primary in the state. He now faces a scathing letter of condemnation from the Morrison County GOP for his big government, liberal voting record.

Kresha has been in office for over a decade (13 years) and has repeatedly sold out his conservative constituents in order to ingratiate himself into the Swamp. He is a loyal and consistent vote for big government, big spending, unconstitutional, multi-subject, Uniparty omnibus bills. It is no surprise that he wins endorsements from radical left union bosses but not with his own Republican constituents. While many other RINOs within the legislature would fit that same description, Kresha has become a case of his own in how far-left a “Republican” can get away with.

The Morrison County GOP released the following letter of condemnation against Rep. Ron Kresha on May 27th that received unanimous support at the Morrison County GOP’s May meeting. See full letter below:

As seen above, Kresha has worked against the interests of conservatives throughout his corrupt career in unimaginable ways. In opposition to President Trump’s America First agenda, Kresha introduced a bill in 2021 (HF2409) would give $5M to lawyers to keep illegal aliens in our state, voted for SF3045 this year which gives the LGBTQIA2S+ Council and ANTIFA Keith Ellison’s office budget increases, voted this year for HF2435 which pays for taxpayer funded abortions, and voted this year for HF2433 which funds DEI in schools and other leftist projects.

Despite not winning the party’s endorsement against Webb-Skillings, Kresha (and other unendorsed RINOs) received massive funding from the corrupt MN House Republican Campaign Committee (HRCC) chaired by RINO Josh Heintzeman (6B). Kresha's "win" against Webb-Skillings can also be attributed to a mailer from his campaign that falsely claimed Kresha was GOP endorsed which was mailed to thousands of constituents. Despite the GOP legislative caucuses serving as party units, they have worked against the interests of the party endorsement by instead acting as an incumbency protection racket. RINO leadership in the House like Speaker Lisa Demuth backstabbing local GOP activists highlights how different the Swamp is from citizen Patriots like you.

Morrison County GOP may serve as an exemplar in the battle between the grassroots and the Establishment RINOs and their strategy could be copied across the state. RINO politicians must be held accountable as they cave to radical Democrats instead of pushing the conservative agenda through. The House GOP has been an abysmal failure in leveraging the Speakership and shared-majority, the only way to make them change is by putting their feet to the fire ahead of the special session.

Congratulations to Morrison County GOP for EXPOSING the TRUTH about the ultra-liberal voting record of RINO Ron Kresha!

The RINO Establishment teeter-totters between two main tactics in attacking Action 4 Liberty and our leadership of the grassroots conservative base in our state. One wing tries to deny our influence by making claims of irrelevance, however, those attacks always fall flat on their face due to the obvious conflict between the liberty movement and RINO Establishment, which sometimes boils over into Star Tribune hit-pieces against our organization. On the other hand, some RINOs admit the truth while on the attack.

Anna Matthews, former RINO Executive Director of the MNGOP under corrupt David Hann, recently appeared on a podcast and admitted that Action 4 Liberty is a massive organizer for caucus participation from the grassroots and says we are the only group expanding grassroots involvement in the party! See video here or click below:

To an outside observer, a Republican party that wants to win should be thrilled with thousands of new conservative Patriots becoming active politically but Matthews and others in the RINO establishment are threatened by regular people fighting to take our government back. The corrupt political swamp wants to maintain the Uniparty’s anti-liberty, big government status quo and they are unable to do so when the conservative base is educated and activated.

To make matters even clearer, the podcast Matthews appeared on is hosted by the very ‘White Dude for Kamala’ that Action 4 Liberty exposed was secretly getting tens of thousands of dollars from the party under RINO David Hann! The 1972-10 scandal was exposed fully by A4L President Erik Mortensen and Jake Duesenberg in the video below:

Despite the spin you will hear from RINOs, the big government uniparty budget cements in tens of billions in spending that originated from Democrat trifecta spending. The second largest budget in MN history has been the “win” that spineless GOP Reps have been praising, however, there is more opposition for this plan from the Senate GOP.

The Senate is controlled by Democrats by a single vote (34 Dem to 33 GOP) but they have ruled with an iron fist and have kept all Dems voting as a block on all key floor votes. Because of this, the Senate GOP has been voting more conservatively as a whole compared to the House GOP which controls the Speakership and has a shared majority with Dems. Senate GOP leader Mark Johnson did not participate in the press conference with Walz pushing this deal.

GOP Senator Eric Pratt (SD54) is by no means a liberty champion or true conservative, but he did call out a truth that House GOP leaders refuse to admit: The House GOP/Walz budget cements in Democrat trifecta-era spending. 

Pratt argues that the Environment and Natural Resources spending and policy bill will increase spending by $11.7M in the next biennium, increases spending by $30M over the next four years, and shifts costs onto local governments that could lead to the highest property tax rate in Minnesota history! This clip can be seen here.

Anytime Tim Walz is pushing something forward, you can almost always assume that it is big government garbage. Unfortunately, RINOs like House Speaker Lisa Demuth are pushing this deal and arguing it is the largest spending cut in history. However, this is only because Democrats increased spending by around $19B during their most recent trifecta. This means that the uniparty big government budget is still around $14B more than pre-covid spending levels! It would be like if you basement was flooded with 19 feet of water and the GOP bragging when it is only 14 feet of water! See analogy below:

Corrupt RINOs will try to fool the grassroots into believing that the budget is a win but conservatives have been woken up and no longer believing crooked career politicians. A4L will continue exposing the corruption of our state and fighting for the true conservative position. Our mission is to protect liberty for the next generation and we are not going to do it with massive spending pushed through unconstitutional omnibus bills!

State House Republicans have caved to Democrats throughout this session and failed to stand up for the conservative principles that their constituents elected them to represent. From election integrity to cutting spending to shrinking government, RINOs have dropped the ball across the board. Now, RINOs work side by side with Dems to oppose President Trump’s agenda by funding woke DEI policies and giving Attorney General ANTIFA Keith’s office more money to fight all things Trump!

A4L has previously reported on the budget increase for Keith Ellison within the unconstitutional, multi-subject State Govt. spending bill (SF3045). All Democrats and 46 House Republicans supported the bill which, among other disasters, included the Ellison budget increase and a budget increase for the LGBTQIA2S+ Council. For the next two years, Trump will be facing radical left lawsuits on behalf of our state because House RINOs enabled woke Socialist Keith Ellison with an even larger budget than his last.

ANTIFA Keith is involved in at least 22 lawsuits against the Trump administration and will waste our tax dollars for these far left political battles. Some of these radical left lawsuits includes keeping men in women’s sports/lockerrooms, supporting transgender mutilation of kids, keeping birthright citizenship for anchor babies, blocking the abolition of the failed Dept. of Edu., blocking Trump from firing federal workers, opposing tariffs meant to even out the global trade playing field, supporting electric vehicle mandates, and blocking proof of citizenship requirements for voting.

Ellison has also taken up a recent lawsuit against Trump to keep woke and destructive DEI in schools, and to make matters worse, all House Republicans but two voted to fund DEI in schools! The education spending bill (HF2433) includes $2M to staff a DEI office at the Dept. of Education. In what appears to be an effort to confuse people, the uniparty rearranged the letters so it is now “EDI” instead of “DEI”. See vote and funding below:

As seen above, the only GOP ‘no’ votes were Reps. Drew Roach (58B) and Mike Weiner (5B). The leftist Democrat opposition of the bill was because they wanted more spending on school workers.

The vast majority of House Republicans are openly defying President Trump’s agenda and working with Democrats to fund opposition to it. GOP politicians in our state cave while gaining absolutely nothing while Democrats get whatever they want. Trump has shown that conservatives want fighters in office who will go to war with the Swamp. In Minnesota, the Swamp could’ve been tackled head-on by the House GOP with control of the Speaker and 67 votes that could block any and all legislation. Instead, the GOP has worked with Democrats to continue the corruption hidden throughout many unconstitutional omnibus bills.

Ellison is also busy wasting tax dollars fighting Elon Musk's lawsuit against an anti-free speech law that could fine and imprison Minnesotans for sharing an AI meme of a politician! When this was voted on in the previous session, every single legislator except Sen. Nathan Wesenberg (SD10) voted for the law.

While RINOs cave to leftist wishes and grow government, A4L will continue to represent the conservative base by exposing the corruption happening throughout our state. RINOs choosing to fund the legal battles against President Trump must be exposed to the grassroots and A4L will continue to stand as that leader in our state.

Sometimes things aren’t as simple as Republican vs. Democrat, sometimes things are the Establishment vs. We the People. Establishment party leaders all on the same page pushing a big government, liberal, uniparty budget plan is always a bad sign for liberty.

On Thurs. May 15th, Tampon Timmy was joined in a budget press conference by legislative party leaders including radical Democrats Sen. Maj. leader Erin Murphy, House party leader Melissa Hortman, and RINO Speaker Lisa Demuth. The four agreed to the full budget proposal which will be passed via unconstitutional, multi-subject omnibus bills. This will be the 2nd LARGEST budget in Minnesota history and will eat into the future surplus. The agreement can be see in full below with each of their signatures at the top, see below:

In the above document, numbers in parentheses are cuts to previous spending and numbers not in parentheses are increases to previous spending. To confuse Minnesotans into not knowing exactly what they are looking at, they do not include the latest projected spending in the February 2025 economic forecast. In short, the plan makes a minor cut to the overall budget passed under the Democrat trifecta but fully maintains the bloated, big government controlled by radical leftists like Walz and ANTIFA Keith Ellison. As seen below, the House entered negotiations asking for less cuts in government than the radical Dems in the Senate or even Walz! 

The budget plan totals around $66.4B however we will not know the real total until budget bills are out of conf. committees. Sadly, $66.4B is MORE than what Walz was originally pushing! As seen in our previous reporting, Walz was pushing for a $66.3B budget and the House RINOs pushed a budget around $66.6B. How could Republican negotiations lead to MORE spending?!?

This uniparty deal outlines the budgets for each department that will be finalized in Democrat-controlled joint conference committees. Currently 17 bills sit in different conf. committees with 14 of them being budget bills that must pass to prevent a government shutdown. The majority of these bills are Democrat bills with only Dem authors. Action 4 Liberty has reported on how Republicans could use their leverage to force a shutdown and renegotiate a more conservative, small government plan. We have also reported on several of these bills including the budget increases for Ellison and the LGBTQIA2S+ Council, the unconstitutional education bill, and the abortion & Planned Parenthood funding Health bill.

RINOs are selling this plan as the largest budget cut in Minnesota history, which only tells half of the story. When Democrats had total trifecta control in 2023 and passed a $71B budget which was about a $19B growth in government. Pre-covid spending levels would mean a return to (at least) a $52B budget. Having the largest cut means nothing if the budget is still the 2nd largest in MN history, only behind the budget passed in 2023. For an analogy, the Dems flooded Minnesota’s basement with 19 feet of water and the GOP is bragging that the basement will now only be flooded with 14 feet of water! See below: 

RINOs will defend Lisa Demuth’s incompetent negotiation skills and argue that this was the best deal that they could get. However, with 67 votes in the House the GOP can block any and all legislation which means they do not have to concede negotiations until real wins for liberty are attained such as single subject spending bills, pre-covid spending levels, and repeal radical left Democrat trifecta-era policies. Demuth has earned her nickname of empty suit Lisa ‘Kamala’ Demuth as she stands side by side with Walz and Democrats to push a plan that screws over our state. Sources at the Capitol tell A4L that Demuth left the GOP caucus in the dark on this deal.

Notably absent from the Walz press conference was GOP Senate leader Mark Johnson (SD1). While it is a good sign that he did not sign onto this deal or attend the press conference, Johnson is protected by being in the minority in the Senate, meaning that Senate Dems will almost never need GOP votes to pass legislation. If the GOP was in the Majority in the Senate, it is almost a sure thing that Johnson would have signed onto whatever. Politicians suck up to power and love to feel important. Johnson and Demuth were even out fishing with Tyrant Tim Walz and Democrat leaders for the state’s fishing opener! See below:

A government shutdown is looming and not for the reasons A4L previously advocated for. The legislature is set to adjourn on Monday, May 19th yet the vast majority of the state government budgets are not passed. In one sense, all legislative leaders could take the blame for the likely incoming government shutdown because they always have the votes to pass establishment garbage omnibus bills and would have failed to get the budget done in accordance with the timeline established in law. A special session will likely be scheduled quickly and the uniparty will push through all of the massive budget bills.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to expose the corruption of our state and stand for the cause of a Constitutional limited government. Radical big government Democrat budgets have grown the government and chased taxpayers out of the state. RINOs cannot continue to cave to the left and must finally assert themselves by flexing their power in the House. The only path to saving Minnesota is pre-covid spending levels, single subject spending bills, and repealing radical Democrat policies.
