With #MN01 #RepFinstad's #HR5548 Fraud Accountability and Recovery Act being ignored ( 3 sponsors since being introduced 9/23 and no committee action) #BradFinstad has issued a #FinstadForCongress fundraising appeal. #WordOfTheDay Exploitation : deliberate manipulation for your benefit.

#RepFinstad says "Thanks" #FunFact in the 2024 election, the #FinstadForCongress received $9,000 from #CropInsurance Professionals Assn PAC. How much will they donate to keep their employee #BradFinstad representing #MN01 in #Elections2026? #BestCongressMoneyCanBuy #DonorOwned #TimeForChange

ICYMI The think tank Data for Progress found that 53% of Americans said it would be harder to afford a typical Thanksgiving meal than last year. Wanna bet that multi-millionaire #BradFinstad was in the 13% who thought it would be easier (#RepFinstad thinks #Trump can do no wrong.) #TimeForChange

Did you see the #FinstadForCongress message ? #BradFinstad, who calls himself a "real farmer" (does that mean that he is different from Treasury Secretary Scott Besson who owns land that others grow soybeans on) neatly got the word "harvest" in. More impressive message was from Al Green

#FinstadWatch Wanna bet that #RepFinstad will still continue to defend #TrumpTariffs as Canada's leaders are now seeking to shift the economy from ‘reliance to resilience’ by diversifying trade away from America. They’ve set a goal of doubling non-U.S. exports by 2035.” #TimeForChange in #MN01

Did you hear #BradFinstad describe how #FinstadFarms does farm tilling ? Watching NetFlix while sitting in the cab of a self-driving tractor ! #RepFinstad is advocating #HR1459 #PreciseAct ( would allow the Secretary of Agriculture to increase cost-share payments up to 90% of the associated costs.

#SenTimScott “I strongly support imposing tough, targeted sanctions on Russia to weaken Putin’s war machine and strengthen America’s hand at the negotiating table. Tell #MN01 #RepFinstad to #SupportUkraine sponsor Bipartisan #HR2548 Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025 www.anews.com.tr/world/2025/1...

Next time you here #MN01 #RepFinstad (or any other #Republican) say how #Trump is focused on creating American jobs, ask "WHY have we lost so many manufacturing jobs ?" Wasn't the #BigBeautifulBill and #TrumpTariffs supposed to power the nation’s entry into a new Golden Age of economic growth ?

#FinstadWatch #RepFinstad uses taxpayer monies to hold a tele-town hall that uses monitors to determine whose questions are answered and what subjects are discussed #WeDeserveBetter #BradFinstadVotersGotSuckered #TimeForChange in #MN01 www.kttc.com/2025/11/21/k...

Considering that #MarjorieTaylorGreene announced that she will be resigning from office because "with almost one year into our majority”, the #GOP has done NOTHING; that #MN01 #RepFinstad's only accomplishment is a unique Zip Code for Springwater Township, #BradFinstad's time is up. #TimeForChange

#FinstadWatch #SpeakerJohnson, after asking Members to "work" in Washington for a five days, declared another #DistrictWorkPeriod (today thru Sun Nov 30th) ... so will #MN01 #RepFinstad of the House #ArmedServices Committee take a CODEL to visit our troops for Thanksgiving ? Don't bet on it.

What are #BradFinstad's accomplishments ? Does #RepFinstad expect a Big THANK YOU for the House approving #HR5078 PILLAR Act on Nov 17, by a VOICE VOTE? #HR2659 Strengthening Cyber Resilience Against State-Sponsored Threats Act was approved 402-8 (all NO votes were #Republicans) #FinstadWatch

It was worse then they told #Trump Flashback Aug 2025 Trump claimed that the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) had "RIGGED" jobs figures "to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad". Nov 20 2025 #BLS reports payroll employment for July was revised DOWN bbc.com/news/article...

Very disappointed (but NOT surprised) that #RepFinstad did NOT participate in today's Bipartisan Rural Health Caucus discussion WHY hasn't #BradFinstad sponsored Bipartisan #HR771 Rural Health Care Access Act of 2025 #HR1153 Rural Physician Workforce Production Act of 2025 #TimeForChange in #MN01
