I think we can flip Brad Finstad in MN-1. A math teacher is running for the DFL in this former-Walz district, home of Mayo Clinic… which is closing six rural offices this year. Farmers are suffering in this district, too, and Brad has done nothing.

Every journalist’s response to “I don’t remember my vote” should be “if you don’t remember why you’re voting the way you are on legislation that impacts your constituents’ literal lives, how can they trust you’re looking out for their interests? Is there a reason your memory is of concern?”

Her grilling of Moore juxtaposed with the lazy interview of Tom Emmer about MN’s school shooting was infuriating. She barely challenged Emmer on his votes for guns (doesn’t push back on “I don’t remember my vote”) and didn’t challenge him on his votes to cut (mental) health care. Embarrassing.

Please change your mind and vote NO. This inaction is killing us. The people are standing alone & desperate for leadership with guts to take a stand. Think LONG TERM about what hurts us, & do not give in to the tyranny. You can’t say you love the constitution if you don’t do the work to defend it.

Please, please vote NO on cloture! We are desperate for some actual leadership and movement toward change rather than constantly giving in, like the GOP expects we will. Talk some sense into Schumer. A shutdown is on the GOP, and working with them only condones their tyranny. The people are begging.

She said that comment, and he countered her and spun and spun more lies and she let him do it without any more pushback—it drives me crazy how Margaret always gives them a platform every Sunday morning, and gives the last word, the last lie, as if they’ve called her out rather than vice versa.
