Emmer's newsletter this morning "The world is safer today than it was last week." Day 7 of Operation Epic Fury. 1,332 dead. $3.7B spent. Russia providing Iran intelligence No exit strategy He voted NAY on War Powers the day before sending it Full daily: mn06watch.substack.com/p/tragically... #MN06 🧵

Emmer on Newsmax this morning: "Tragically, we've lost some already. Those are the people we should be thinking about as we vote this resolution down." Yesterday he didn't say SFC Nicole Amor's name at a press conference. Today he used the dead to block war authorization. 🧵

The House Oversight Committee's mission: hold the federal government accountable. Yesterday they held their 4th hearing on Minnesota state fraud. So. Oversight of what, exactly? 🧵 Receipts, not rage. mn06watch.com/articles/oversight-of-what

Promised a thread on Emmer at the fraud hearing. Honest assessment: nothing noteworthy. Same lines as before. Didn't let Walz or Ellison answer. Asked questions for the camera not for the record. What IS noteworthy: what he didn't say today. That's in the daily mn06watch.substack.com/p/she-was-al...

FC Nicole M. Amor. 39. White Bear Lake, Minnesota. Army Reserve. Mother of two. Days from coming home. Killed March 1 in Kuwait by an Iranian drone. No warning. No siren. Her husband Joey: "She was almost home." Your congressman posted one tweet. Then 18 about fraud and hockey. 🧵

Walz and Ellison testify under oath before House Oversight this morning on Minnesota fraud — Part II. Emmer will be there, though he’s not a committee member. We’ll be watching. 🧵incoming. #MN06

Happy 65th birthday, Rep. Emmer. Four days ago you told constituents gas prices were at a "four-year low," the military was "stronger than ever," and the union was strong. Today: gas surging, 6 troops dead, DHS Day 18, no exit strategy. 937 days. mn06watch.substack.com/p/america-is... 🧵👇

Rep. Emmer posted 6 tweets about the war with Iran. Zero mentioned MN-06. Zero mentioned military families. Zero mentioned gas prices. Zero mentioned war powers. Zero mentioned the DHS shutdown — now Day 17. 936 days without a town hall. Today's daily: mn06watch.substack.com/p/fallen-her...

Same man that doesn’t believe Minnesotans are the one protesting.

March 2025, Emmer called Trump “literally the peacemaker.” Yesterday, the U.S. launched its largest Middle East military operation in a generation. Khamenei is dead. A girls’ school was struck. Diplomats reported a breakthrough 24 hours before the bombs dropped. Emmer’s statement: praised it.

The US launched strikes on Iran this morning. Today's daily isn't receipts — it's context. How we got here, from the deal that was working to the bombs falling today. Plus: the breakout time chart every American should see. open.substack.com/pub/mn06watc...

"The war on fraud has begun. And Somali fraudsters in my home state are about to find out." $259.5M frozen. Autism care, housing, recovery. MN improper payment rate: 2.1% (national avg 6.1%). NACo transcript, two fact-checks, Three Voices. mn06watch.substack.com/p/the-war-on...

Rep. Emmer says 494 of 500 autism centers "NEVER qualified" because only 6 applied for new licenses. The portal just opened. Deadline: May 31. Autism care is one of 14 frozen programs. He's building the case for cutting healthcare for kids. mn06watch.substack.com

VP Vance just announced a halt to Medicaid funding to Minnesota — citing fraud concerns. Rep. Tom Emmer, whose district includes ~120,000–140,000 Medicaid enrollees, reposted it without a word of concern for his constituents. Thread 🧵

Two Voices. On Fox 9 yesterday: "It's an honor to represent the 6th Congressional District." On Twitter, three hours later: "Somali fraudsters," "hold your hand, Ilhan," "radical leftists are deranged." 29 tweets. 1 night. Two different congressmen. Daily: mn06watch.substack.com/p/two-voices 🧵

SOTU Day. Rep. Emmer told CNBC and C-SPAN that tax refunds are up "$1,000 or more." The IRS says $307. He called the Twin Cities "a dot." His SOTU guest leads a department that won't enforce immigration laws. MN-06 Daily: open.substack.com/pub/mn06watc... 🧵

Rep. Emmer went on national TV today and said Q4 GDP was "4.4%, revised to 4.1." The actual number: 1.4%. He fabricated economic data on live television. 12 tweets. 30 min of airtime. Zero seconds on MN-06. Here's what he said — and what's actually true. 🧵

Rep. Emmer has called Trump “the master negotiator” on tariffs three times. This week, the Supreme Court ruled those tariffs unconstitutional. 6-3. His own appointees in the majority. Emmer’s response? “No reimbursement.” New Rhetoric vs. Reality 👇 mn06watch.substack.com/p/rhetoric-v...

"Dear Friend." At 2:35 PM today, Tom Emmer sent MN-06 a newsletter: tax refunds, Metro Surge, children "found." Five hours earlier, SCOTUS struck down Trump's tariffs 6-3. He didn't mention it. Here's what was in the newsletter — and what wasn't. 🧵

MN-06 DAILY: "The Choice" Rep. Randy Fine said "the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one." 44.9 million views. Tom Emmer — the House Majority Whip, whose district has thousands of Muslim constituents — said nothing. Not one word.

MN-06 DAILY: "Disgusting" Rep. Emmer used the word "disgusting" once today. Not about 8 skull fractures from an ICE arrest in St. Paul. Not about federal agents lying under oath. Not about the FBI blocking MN investigators. He used it about a children's band.

5 posts. 4 media appearances. All from New York. The FBI formally blocked Minnesota investigators from evidence in 3 federal shooting cases. He didn't mention it once. New daily: open.substack.com/pub/mn06watc...

Rep. Emmer did 3 TV hits this morning on DHS/ICE. Same topic on all three. Two friendly hosts, one who asked follow-up questions. His answers broke down on CBS. The numbers he cited are disputed by fact-checkers. #MN06Watch

The fallacy here is false equivalence. Requiring ID for law enforcement (a security measure for the public) is categorically different from requiring ID to exercise a constitutional right to vote. One regulates government power; the other restricts citizen participation. Apples to handcuffs.

Emmer called for Ellison's indictment on X — quote-tweeting a clip of Hawley's Senate hearing attack. 151,000 views. At the hearing itself, Emmer accused Ellison of "cutting deals with Somali fraudsters." He wasn't under oath. He left before being sworn in. Rhetoric vs. Reality #4 🧵

Uncovered this nugget and included it in today's weekly round up. Went with this format because Emmer didn't do much the last 24 hours and it was a busy week. If you only read 1 thing I write this week, I'd make it this (or tomorrow's piece).

The Week in Receipts. 72 posts. 4 min of unsworn testimony. 1 shutdown. 0 town halls. 37% of his posts were about a single voter ID bill. 0% were about Minnesota. Day by day, with sources: mn06watch.substack.com/p/mn-06-watc... #MN06Watch #MNpol

Emmer claimed today that Metro Surge arrested "4,000 criminal illegal aliens" and found "3,000 missing migrant children." DHS won't break down criminal vs. non-criminal. Ellison testified under oath: 77% had no record. The children claim has been fact-checked by CBS MN, AP, and USA Today.

Coming Sunday morning

4 minutes. Unsworn. 0 questions answered. 16 tweets. Emmer testified at a Senate hearing on Minnesota, left before the oath, and tweeted "INDICTED" about testimony he wasn't there to hear. The senators making the accusations weren't under oath either. Only Ellison was.

Feb 4: "Reduce the rhetoric." Feb 12: "Somali fraudsters." Unsworn. 4 minutes. Then he left. Full daily dropping tonight.

FACT CHECK: @tomemmer claims the Star Tribune "refused to report" on FOF fraud. Yesterday he reposted it to 200K+ followers. The Star Tribune published hundreds of articles starting Day 1 after the FBI raid. Emmer's first action? 7 months later. 🧵

Oh boy, do I have something for you when you wake up tomorrow.

14 posts. 0 about Minnesota. ICE crashed cars at Nina's Coffee, tackled a teen in a courthouse, and kids haven't left home in months. Emmer's take: "They're quiet, which is good." Tomorrow he faces Ellison at the Senate hearing. open.substack.com/pub/mn06watc...

One week of rhetoric. The audience changes. The message escalates. Tomorrow, Emmer sits across from the man he called ‘complicit’ 24 hours earlier. Full daily dropping tonight.

Tom Emmer stood at the House Leadership podium today and opened with: “Pedophiles, rapists, murderers, and drug traffickers.” Prepared statement. 2 minutes 33 seconds. No Q&A. Those were his chosen first words. Four days ago he told Fox 9 he wanted to “reduce the rhetoric.” 🧵👇

Post 1: Same congressman. 48 hours apart. On Fox News: "rapists, murderers, pedophiles, drug dealers walk the streets." On Fox 9 in Minneapolis: "People are so heavy. Families are hurting. I hope we get back to being Minnesotans." The audience changed. The message changed. The facts didn't. 🧵👇

Emmer was back on Fox News and guess which face showed up? The contempt for the people of Minnesota is palpable youtu.be/FJYo7AqRJ4U?...

ICYMI — posted this right before kickoff, so reposting for the Monday crowd: 864 tweets about grocery prices. 0 about the businesses closing in his own district. Rhetoric vs. Reality #3: The Affordability Fraud mn06watch.substack.com/p/rhetoric-v... #MN06Watch #MN06

864 tweets about grocery prices. 0 about the grocery workers afraid to show up. Emmer built his brand on affordability. Then he cheered on an operation costing MN businesses $10-20M/week. RvR #3 is live. mn06watch.substack.com/p/rhetoric-v... #MN06Watch #RhetoricVsReality

NEW: The Echo Chamber Rep. Emmer on Fox 9: "Every illegal alien served with an administrative warrant has already had full due process." The government's own training materials say otherwise. One face for Fox News. One for Minnesota. mn06watch.substack.com/p/the-echo-chamber-when-your-congressman

Q10: How does Trump's endorsement help Republicans break the 20-year statewide losing streak? The answer: It doesn't. It might threaten Emmer's own seat. Trump is 0-3 in Minnesota with -20 approval. His endorsed candidate just lost a TX +17 district. MN-06 is only +13. tinyurl.com/2r69djww #MN06

Question 1: What specifically are you endorsing—policies, character, or conduct? The answer: All three. Emmer voted against Trump accountability measures, defended him through every prosecution as "witch hunts" and called him "Patriot of the 21st Century." mn06watch.substack.com/p/10-questio...
