Navy ‘going to study’ possibility of building ships outside US, Phelan says The Navy is exploring ways to alleviate pressure as U.S. shipbuilding faces issues with labor capacity, Navy Secretary John Phelan said.

Wasn't the #Trump #AmericaFirst promise would mean more US #JOBS .... it turns out Japan and South Korea have gotten contracts and now the Navy is ‘going to study’ possibility of building ships outside US

Wanna bet #RepFinstad will remain silent ?

Congress has a choice ...
push the national debt up;
ask future generations to pay;
or enact a war tax.

I vote for a war tax on AGI over $62,000 and exempting military families from paying the #IranWarTax.

Companies should also pay as some are upping prices.

#RepFinstad voted to extend FISA Section 702 surveillance authority through April 30, 2026 ( #HR8322) even though he complained about it in 2023.

Now, Congress is considering extending it for THREE more YEARS allowing #Trump to continue surveilling American citizens.

The REALITY that #BradFinstad refuses to acknowledge is the damage caused to #SmallBusinesses (ultimately #MN01 consumers) is the #RepFinstad supported #TrumpTariffs

Trump's Energy Secretary said fuel prices may not get back under $3 until 2027
For reference that means gas will be higher than when #Trump was inaugurated; with oil costs then hovering around $80 a barrel.

How many #Farm Bankruptcies will be blamed on the #FinstadIranWar fuel cost ?

The higher prices for food, gasoline, insurance, et al is REAL as is the momentum for Change ... caused by the frustration that #MN01 constituents feel about #RepFinstad performance as discussed in this April 17 #MankatoFreePress story.

Anyone notice that #RepFinstad does NOT talk about #gas prices (or food, insurance, etc) anymore?

As of April 19, 2026, the AAA national average is $4.048 thanks to the #FinstadIranWar which apparently is okay with #Trump who said on April 16 “Well, they are not very high.”
