Stauber touts labor bill, draws protestors During his January 28 visit to a local teamsters Labor Hall, a crowd gathered to picket Congressman Pete Stauber.

Getting a Sunday email from ones elected offical #PeteStauber #MN08 is officially depressing when its a #dogwhistle for #maga it is #pathetic

He is too #afraid to speak to his constituents or address the public

Wonder how #MN08 #RepPeteStauber, who used taxpayer monies to travel to Rome to attend the funeral of Pope Francis, will react to Cardinal Blase Cupich's assessment that America's "is treating the suffering of the Iranian people as a backdrop for our own entertainment"

jake johnson’s website reads like it was written in 2014 and/or by chuck schumer but good for him. #MN01 and #MN08 will be in play if there is a big wave

brad finstad and pete stauber are gonna fucking lose in november. if you know a state rep or a state senator or a mayor or a county commissioner or a county attorney in #MN01 or #MN08 this is their moment. jump in the race get the DFL endorsement beat those motherfuckers let’s gooooooooo

#MN08 I hope Pete Stauber rots in hell for selling off Boundary Waters.
Smarmy fuckhole laughing at the committee hearing.

After tonight’s special election results in Minneapolis, Amy Klobuchar ready to announce for Governor, and Mike Lindell as the potential GOP Gov nominee, the MN GOP might be headed for an extinction level event this year that might even take down ‘safe’ GOP-held seats like #MN01 and #MN08.

Jan 21, the House will vote on #HJRes140 which impacts approximately 225,504 acres of National Forest System (Rainy River Watershed, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness) allowing leases for the exploration for minerals and geothermal energy.

And to put a finer point on it, Trump never won the Iron Range outright, albeit he did better in some pockets than other Republicans did in 2016. And he won parts of Minnesota like #MN01 and #MN08 and contributed to them electing Republicans to Congress.

And if theoretical Dem nominee Amy Klobuchar’s GOP opponent is Trump-endorsed crackpot Mike Lindell?!

Batten down the hatches.

At that point even theoretically safe GOP-held House seats like #MN01 and #MN08 could unexpectedly find their way onto the map.

Trump’s first vetoes of his second term hit bipartisan infrastructure projects, draw accusations of retribution Trump promised retribution after Colorado refused to release Tina Peters, who was convicted by a state court last year.

#MN08 #RepPeteStauber and the House Committee on Natural Resources approved #HR131 FINISH THE ARKANSAS VALLEY CONDUIT ACT (as did the full House and Senate)

So what will #PeteStauber say about #Trump's veto ?

Coloradans don't deserve #CleanWater (because they didn't vote for him)

I'd add #MN08 as well to the equation... Dems have won #MN08 before. If we really wanted to push hard, we could have an outside chance at #MN06.

Of course, down ballot races at the statewide, state legislative, and local level are going to be key...

finstad #MN01 and stauber #MN08 might be sweating their 2026 races. when the president is this unpopular, twenty point swings are possible.

WDIO: Duluth Elected Officials spoke about rising healthcare costs “[The] increase is so steep that too many of us are wondering whether we’ll even be able to afford coverage going forward,” said Hanek. “We knew these massive increases were coming after HR1 passed this summer, cutting Medicaid and rolling back the policies that help keep insurance affordable on the open market. All so they could protect tax cuts for billionaires.”

Thanks to Senator Jen McEwen and Representative Liish Kozlowski for helping us sound the alarm. Northland families are being pushed to the brink by massive healthcare cost increases that MAGA GOP politicians like Pete Stauber let happen.

If only the eight district had a congress critter that cared about the people, environment, or anything but themselves.

Chris Jones is a conservative, union member, and full-time caregiver to his wife in Duluth. He voted for Trump and Stauber — but when they teamed up to gut the life-giving care Medicaid provides, he spoke out.
