Can you imagine having to come up with $450/month to be able to pee? That's reality for many people. We shouldn't just support Medicaid--we should have universal healthcare. Health is a human right. It shouldn't be traded for billionaire tax cuts. www.youtube.com/shorts/t1C6S...

Have you called your rep and senator, yet? www.gis.lcc.mn.gov/iMaps/distri...

My family's health insurance shouldn't cost as much as my monthly mortgage payment. Finstad disagrees.

"The transition to authoritarianism in the United States depends upon us. In Trump’s paradigm, this is all a show, and our role is to be bit players. We have been handed a script with no words and await our cue to do nothing." And so we must do more than nothing. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Kids learn better when they are housed, fed, and feel safe and supported. Republicans have always been the first to tear those things away and then complain about poor test scores. Keep having conversations with those around you about voting, because these are not the values our kids need.

FinstadWatch: The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the Republican budget will cut 3.2 million people off SNAP nationwide, but for Finstad, these numbers are just “fearmongering.” Don’t forget that Republicans needed these huge benefit cuts to pay for huge tax cuts for the wealthy.

Families shouldn’t have to drive for hours for care, or pay more because it’s harder to find. But Brad Finstad voted to gut Medicaid, and now Mayo is closing clinics. Enough is enough.

I just issued an executive order to safeguard vaccine access in Minnesota. While the Trump Administration attempts to limit Americans’ access to preventative care, Minnesota will continue to be guided by science and the freedom to seek out medical expertise.

Brad Finstad had to twist himself into knots defending the Medicaid cuts he voted for, because he knows how unpopular they are. I wrote a response to his op-ed, laying out why his cuts are so harmful, and how we could actually bring down costs instead. www.postbulletin.com/opinion/colu...

For the 2Aers in your life: "Guns have been carved out as a golden calf of freedom, not because they're the heart of the Second Amendment, but because Smith and Wesson and Glock have quarterly numbers to meet. You've been sold a goddamn lie dressed up as liberty." www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDBD...

it shouldn't be easier to get a gun in America than the covid vaccine

Get ready to make some calls and visits to the Capitol.

Have you called or emailed your MN state senator and representative today? www.gis.lcc.mn.gov/iMaps/distri... Once you have, text your friends the phone numbers and email addresses and ask them to do the same. Gun control saves lives. Don't take no for an answer.

In the wake of the deadly shooting in Minnesota, Fox News host and former Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) said “We’re going to have a conversation of freedom versus protecting children… We’ve got to decide whether or not we want to live like this.” When will #MN01 #RepFinstad act ? #FinstadWatch

How do we put our children on the bus this morning? How is it that we are constantly asked to do this?

On 6/6/25, Rep Brad Finstad emailed to say he would make sure the CDC and FDA "make available a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine for all who want it." "FOR ALL WHO WANT IT" AND "OVER 65 OR WITH UNDERLYING HEALTH CONDTIONS" ARE NOT THE SAME THING, BRAD. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Today's great day for telling your members of the MN legislature to get to work. Not sure who to call? Start here: www.gis.lcc.mn.gov/iMaps/distri...

Maybe we shouldn’t let someone who doesn’t believe in germs and who thinks it’s okay to eat roadkill and swim in contaminated ponds be in charge of our national food safety.

FinstadWatch: Like the gerrymandering Republicans in Texas who want to pick their voters rather than have voters pick them, Congressman Finstad always picks an audience that he thinks will support him, rather than speaking with the “rude people” who disagree with him. Poor little snowflake!

FinstadWatch: In Finstad World concern about excessive level of nitrates in rural wells is a concern only raised by “anti-Agriculture activists.” Anybody who protests the policies he supports is only doing so “to get on television.” Minnesotans deserves better than this petty tin-pot Trump-bot.

If you have young people in your life, resistance is discussing decolonization, women's suffrage, the civil rights movement, the ADA, gay marriage. Show them how long this has gone on. Explain how we could make America great--for everyone. Hope for the future starts with being honest about our past.

MN CD1 Rep Brad Finstad support the gutting of biomedical research in his district which includes the world-renowned Mayo Clinic. This is pure thuggery and he should be defeated. We need to support Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social

Did you call to chime in? 202-225-2472 DC (opt. 5 for voicemail, 6 for staff) 507-577-6140 Rochester 507-577-6151 New Ulm finstad.house.gov/contact

FinstadWatch: The Trump Administration is doing the bidding of the oil and gas industry, but also the Finstad-favored ethanol industry, by undercutting solar and wind power support. Republicans are consigning future generations to climate catastrophes. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/c...

Working Americans are struggling with skyrocketing cost of groceries, housing, and health care as corporations are using their PACs to buy more political power. Cleaning up Washington starts with cutting big money out of politics Tell #MN01 #RepFinstad to sponsor #HR4799 Ban Corporate PACs Act

@jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social is correct Very disappointed that #RepFinstad has NOT protested #RobertFKenndyJr's decision to end funding mRNA vaccine work with Arcturus Therapeutics for a #BirdFlu mRNA vaccine (which was nearly complete) #TimeForChange in #MN01 #FinstadWatch #H5N1 avian influenza

It was great to join farmers, ag leaders, and even a few friendly animals at Farmfest this week! We heard about how important it is to lower input costs and expand export markets so that rural Minnesota thrives for the next generation.

Alright gumshoes, it's time to call and ask where in the world is Brad Finstad. Holmquist raises good points. Rep Finstad 202-225-2472 DC 507-577-6140 Rochester 507-577-6151 New Ulm finstad.house.gov/contact www.winonapost.com/opinion/fins...

You know who could take care of this for us? Brad could. Let him know. Rep Finstad 202-225-2472 DC 507-577-6140 Rochester 507-577-6151 New Ulm finstad.house.gov/contact

FinstadWatch: Winston Churchill once said, “You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing; after they’ve tried everything else.” Let’s hope this proves true about our choice of leaders. Let’s elect the leaders, State Reps, Senators, Representatives and Presidents, that we deserve.

Our kids can't drink the water. Our farmers can't fix their tractors. Our rural hospitals are about to close. But yes, please enlighten me about why billionaires and big corporations need another tax break?

What, Canada didn't put out their fires in response to Finstad's letter?

"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why they are poor, they call me a communist." Hélder Câmara

This is what republican "more growth and fewer regulations" looks like. How about we get living wages and things like universal healthcare, instead?

#SpeakerJohnson has designated the period from Wednesday, July 23 through Monday, September 1, 2025, as a "district work period". What does that mean for #RepFinstad ? Hiding out from #MN01 constituents and holding fundraising events. #MN01 deserves a Rep who works and delivers real results

It is time to BUG BRAD. www.facebook.com/events/s/bug...

They’re literally skipping work to protect pedophiles. As your congressman, I would vote to release the Epstein files, and I’d always work hard to protect innocent people.

Maya would do a better job in Congress than Brad Finstad.

"Fiscal responsibility"

Had a sore throat yesterday after being out in the smoky air to run errands. Sure wish Rep Brad Finstad would focus on things like reducing the effects of climate change instead of wasting our time and money on letters to Canada.

But "rest assured" he'll keep our thoughts in mind while he steadfastly ignores our requests to cosponsor the John R Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act instead. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

We raised more money than Congressman Brad Finstad last quarter, and we did it without any corporate PAC donations. No one has ever beat him like this in a fundraising quarter, and we’re just getting started. #MN01

"We have so much in common. How did we become so divided?" substack.com/home/post/p-...

He lost his wallet and made an appointment to replace his green card. Instead, they disappeared him. Stephen Miller's America, endorsed by Brad Finstad.

I noticed he didn't mention exactly what was cut, as if he knew people wouldn't support his vote when they found out.

Tina Smith's "staff said she’d received an unprecedented amount of constituent messages on the [rescission] bill, some 'tens of thousands.'" We didn't win this one, but WAY TO SHOW UP, MINNESOTA! Keep it up! www.startribune.com/minnesotas-s...

Congressman Finstad voted earlier this month to add $3.3 trillion to the national debt, but now he's calling $9 billion as "out of control spending" This is yet another attack from Washington on our small towns, taking away our access to reliable and timely local networks

The recent tragic flooding disaster in Texas highlights the importance of FEMA and our country’s natural disaster response. This Administration’s cuts to the National Weather Service means there will be fewer resources for tornado warnings & watches. Our country is less safe from these DOGE cuts.

The Supreme Court cut 1,000+ Ed. Dept. jobs because the President said so. As a teacher of 19 years, I know this will hurt students. We should be bringing more talented staff into education, so that students who walk our public school halls can thrive in the classroom and beyond.
