Dusty living in reality? That's rich. Just read a small sample of his X posts this year and you'll see Dusty's grip on reality.
It's really easy to say there was a blue tsunami because of fraud, because then you don't have to acknowledge that Republicans failed to uphold their campaign promises. I prefer to live in reality though so we can actually win and deliver a conservative agenda next time.

It’s a trying time for Dusty.
If you’re here illegally, you’re not a law abiding citizen. You have to go back home. This isn’t complicated.

Here's a question for you, @folkforhennepin, if your former colleagues continue to stonewall the investigation of the Good/Pretti murders, will you charge them with obstruction of justice under Minn. Stat. § 609.50? revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite…

If you put "Appleton" in the search box at @StarTribune or @MPRnews, you will see that Rob is right. There are old stories, but no new ones that pop up about the purchase shenanigans.
The Taylors are going to get away with burying this story at least until Wednesday. The StarTribune & MPR are now proven Republican protection rackets

It would be difficult to overstate what an odious jerk @tomemmer, the @GOPMajorityWhip, is.
Four things to remember about Tom Emmer with four days until Election Day: 1. He supported the One Big Bill that paid for tax cuts for billionaires by slashing Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP and other benefits for working families — and literally celebrated on the White House lawn. 2. He not only supported the ICE invasion during Metro Surge, he actively cheered it on … even as it never touched his hometown of Delano. The day before Reneé Good’s murder, he posted “God bless our brave ICE agents. Go out there and get ‘em.” 3. He has ignored (or pretended not to notice) the economic chaos for working families created by the President’s War in Iran and nonsense tariffs — calling affordability “a BS issue”, describing skyrocketing fuel prices as a “short duration event” and inventing $2 beef. 4. He has repeatedly been an ugly, divisive voice on cable TV and social media. He has described protesters as “anti-American”, engaged in mean, juvenile taunts of our elected officials — and described our Somali neighbors as “enemy combatants” who should “go the hell back to where they came from.” And he’s done all this over the last 2 from behind doors closed to the public … zero face-to-face accountability. Tom Emmer has spent 12 years in Washington looking out for Tom Emmer. You have four days to choose something better. I’m running for Congress because I believe you deserve someone who wants to look out for you. You want better. You deserve better. Aren’t you ready for better? 4 days until Election Day. #FlipThe6th #LFG #ReadyForBetter

Of course, these three snake oil salesmen will be flying in a government expense.

Joey Rad is a ratfucker; a ratfucker in the employ of Mayor Jakey Frey.
If it felt like that NYT article was just a Greatest Hits album of the oldest, dumbest, and most unsubstantiated accusations against Ilhan, that’s because it is. Get new material, Joe.

Did he intend to hold himself out of somebody else? Yes, he did; multiple times.

Claiming that O'Keefe is a 1st Amendment journalist, and not a simple political ratfucker, is also specious. The 1st Amendment is not a defense to the commission of a crime.

The voting and identity statutes read right on O'Keefe's conduct. Not signing the oath doesn't matter for Minn. Stat. § 204C.14, subd. 1(a). The HCAO has these two clucks dead to rights.

Attempted murder is still a crime, @SNienow. O'Keefe did in fact steal identities. He appeared at several polling places representing himself as somebody else. If you try to fraudulently use a credit card and are caught before you do, it's still a crime.
Thet didn't steal any identity. They didn't vote. The process is the punishment. Others must be warned— don't you dare show how weak MN voting laws are...

Maybe J. Davenport is hauling @tomemmer, the @GOPMajorityWhip, back home. We gues Tommy needed a lift. He doesn't seem to be able to get here on his own.
