Friends,
It’s a tremendous honor to once again receive an overwhelming endorsement from the voters of the 8th congressional district.
As I heard throughout the campaign, you are feeling the pain from Biden's failed policies that have led to 40-year high inflation, unaffordable energy prices, and skyrocketing crime. Like you, voters across the country disapprove of Washington’s one party rule.
Hopefully, January 3rd will be a new day in America.
I look forward to the next Congress where I will help champion solutions that will create a strong economy that includes critical mineral dominance, a nation that’s safe, a future that’s built on freedom, and a government that’s accountable.
My pledge to you continues: you will always know where I stand, I have your back at every turn, and I will keep fighting relentlessly for our way of life.
A heartfelt thanks for all you do!

While I've been focusing on my efforts in Washington, we've been watching from a distance as Tim Walz and the DFL Legislature went on a historic, socialist spending spree that completely blew the state's $18 billion surplus! Additionally, they passed $10 billion in tax increases! And it turns out the $2,000 a person rebate checks they promised during the campaign is now going to be about $250! And not all of you will even qualify! In total, the Democrats grew the state budget from $52 billion to $72 billion. Minnesotans - the DFL is duping you. ... See MoreSee Less

All of politicians need to go WITHOUT PAY until the debt ceiling is settled, like they expect the VETERANS to!
Ya Pete, I've been glued to the committee hearings on the Mn Channel, and I've witnessed pure Socialism being crammed down our throats. Is there any stopping this madness? The Constitution says we can and should. Terribly evil also. Thanks for posting Ev
We fix things in Minnesota and pay for what’s needed unlike you clowns in Washington D.C.
JFK party untethered! Overtaxed and Woke!
So sad and so true
It would be funny if it wasn’t true! You just can’t make this stuff up! 😳
Well said Pete !
Maybe we can bribe them with some XRP, XLM, XDC, HBAR, or Casper . lol. Ev
The fundamental difference in spending priorities of Liberals vs MAGA are these things. Liberals spend tax revenue on the majority, who happen to be a broad cross section of working class people, and who pay most of taxes. Republicans spend tax revenue on rich people and corporations that support their campaign in return for shifting their tax burden on to the working class. As a bonus, Republicans will write an encyclopedia of licensing for corporations to despoil our commons. Dumping chemicals in the water, soil, and air so a handful of people can see bank accounts grow is plantation politics at its best.
Yes what a bunch of BS. How nobody tried stopping this? I mean the voters are drunk but what happened to everyone else that’s in there for Minnesota? This makes me sick. Hitler promised everyone would get a great refund back at midterms for voting. He’s a liar just like the rest. Traveling and getting out if this state is looking more and more better
A liar, a coward, and a traitor walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What'll it be, Speaker McCarthy?"
Hmmm… yet the voters in MN *CHOSE* to NOT vote for republicans. Perhaps they saw through false populism, lies, misinformation, subterfuge and propaganda the republicans were touting?
The only dupe is you Pete. The surplus that the Democratic administration built up has not been "blown". Check your facts dude.
REP Dave Lislegard and his committee did a great job on helping ALL Minnesotans www.house.mn.gov/members/profile/news/15497/37261?fbclid=IwAR3zvHaeBRq5aBOmwWo3cI4yX1wxl3GNK1qifG...
Money well Spent by Minnesota. The US was already duped by the GOP for yrs by giving tax breaks to the rich. #PeteTheCheat
Nope that’s your job RePete
The blackout bill is the worst part of what Walz and his friends are doing to Minnesota. Say goodbye to the taconite plants when they can't afford the electricity needed to run them.

*angry beyond measure with the democrat/socialist/communist bully pulpit.
Our poor kids will pay dear !
You don’t run the state, get off your butt and pay the Federal bills your orange menace incurred. If we default it’s on the GOP!
Pete Stauber what the hell have YOU been focusing on? Trying to be more of a white supremacist? More of a fascist? Trying to figure out how to keep the tax credits for the rich? Working with Kevin and Donald on tanking the economy? You are nothing but a blow hard and a self righteous idiot. You do NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR constituents only YOUR RICH FRIENDS! Are you upset about not getting the $2,000 for your special needs child? Oh he gets enough money from the government already. And your ‘OurWayOfLife’ white racism saying!
What you gonna do about it Pete? Call your supporters and ask them to attack the state capital?
The cookies and Kool-Aid were well consumed. Go extra session terrible timmy, I'm sure you can squeeze more money out of murdersota taxpayers. I see your gimmie, gimmie zombies are praising your tyrannic rule. Paz

News flash Pete. Democrats back the blue, we wave flags, we’re patriotic. Stop with the lies, innuendos, and disingenuous posts.
“I’m not going to agree to a deal that protects $200 billion in excess payments for pharmaceutical industries and refusing to count that while cutting over 100,000 schoolteachers and…assistants’ jobs, 30,000 law enforcement officers’ jobs cut across…the entire United States of America.
You’re awful quiet on the debt ceiling vote. I see you were one of them who voted to stop negotiating yesterday. It’s time to call you out, Pete. Where is your loyalty? Country or cult? “Yesterday the far-right House Freedom Caucus called for an end to any discussions of raising the debt ceiling until the Senate passes its bill calling for extreme budget cuts. Today, former president Trump announced on his social media channel that “REPUBLICANS SHOULD NOT MAKE A DEAL ON THE DEBT CEILING UNLESS THEY GET EVERYTHING THEY WANT (Including the ‘kitchen sink’).” THAT’S THE WAY THE DEMOCRATS HAVE ALWAYS DEALT WITH US. DO NOT FOLD!!!” (In reality, Congress raised the debt ceiling without conditions three times when Trump was president as Trump added an astonishing almost $7.8 trillion to the national debt, much of it thanks to his tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations before the coronavirus pandemic hit.) Immediately after Trump’s demand, the Republicans walked away from negotiations over the budget that they are demanding before they will vote to raise the debt ceiling. Then, hours later, they came back to the table. Meanwhile, the headline in the Washington Post read: “World watches in disbelief and horror as U.S. nears possible default.” The story by Rachel Siegel and Jeff Stein revealed that at the meeting of the G7 leaders in Hiroshima, Japan, this week, the finance ministers for the G7—Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the European Union—have been pulling U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen aside to ask her what is going to happen. “Around the world,” Siegel and Stein write, “experts have been watching in disbelief as the U.S. flirts with its first default, fearful of the potential international economic ramifications—and astonished by the global superpower’s brush with self-sabotage.” “[T]he debate over the debt ceiling is unnerving,” Michal Baranowski, managing director of the German Marshall Fund of the U.S. told Siegel and Stein. “We really need the U.S. as a strong leader in world affairs during this time of deep global instability. I worry that the debt ceiling debate burns up valuable political oxygen that I would rather the U.S. spend for leadership abroad. It makes the U.S. look inward-looking, at best.”
If you voted for this clown, try to understand that he is backing the effort to default the government and delay military and social security payments. All this following their party giving record tax relief to corporations and billionaires which raised your debt by 7.8 trillion dollars.

I worry that the debt ceiling debate burns up valuable political oxygen that I would rather the U.S. spend for leadership abroad. It makes the U.S. look inward-looking, at best.” Time is running out for Congress to pass a measure that will raise the debt ceiling. Meanwhile, today at the G7 meeting—which Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky will attend—leaders announced a new slate of sanctions on more than 300 targets designed to block workarounds that have permitted Russia to continue its war against Ukraine. "Today’s actions will further tighten the vise on [Russian president Vladimir] Putin’s ability to wage his barbaric invasion and will advance our global efforts to cut off Russian attempts to evade sanctions," Treasury Secretary Yellen said in a statement. In retaliation, Russia announced that it would not allow consular access to Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was arrested in March on false charges of espionage. It also banned a somewhat random list of 500 Americans from entering Russia, including former president Barack Obama, comedian Stephen Colbert, 45 members of the House of Representatives, former ambassadors to Russia, various journalists, and me (!), accusing us of being hostile to Russia. The statement also aligned Putin with far-right Republicans who back Trump, blaming those on the list for being “directly involved in the persecution of dissidents in the wake of the so-called ‘storm of the Capitol.’” One of those banned was Michael Byrd, the Capitol Police officer who killed Ashley Babbitt as she attempted to break into the chamber of the House of Representatives, where more than 60 representatives and staffers were holed up, on January 6, 2021. Also today, Washington, D.C., police lieutenant Shane Lamond was arrested on charges that he warned Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys, that he was about to be arrested just before January 6, 2021, and then lied about it to investigators. As head of the department’s intelligence unit, Lamond monitored extremist groups but appeared to support the Proud Boys. “Of course I can’t say it officially,” Lamond told Tarrio in a message on January 8, “but personally I support you all and don’t want to see your group’s name or reputation dragged through the mud.” The Republicans’ threat to blow up the U.S. economy—and, with it, the global economy—comes at a time when the economy is, in fact, quite strong and President Biden’s measures have significantly reduced the deficit after Republican tax cuts exploded it. Destroying the economy on Biden’s watch would undoubtedly help to hamstring his reelection campaign. It would also kill popular support for his return to a government that supports ordinary Americans rather than concentrating wealth at the top of the economy, as Republicans insist—contrary to economic studies—will expand the economy and benefit everyone. Their attack on the economy is more than that, though: it is an attack on the nation’s global standing. Yesterday, Christopher Chivvis, the director of the American Statecraft Program at the Carnegie Endowment, wrote that the debt ceiling crisis brings into question “how serious Washington is about leading the world…. In an era of global strategic competition, the United States will be entering the ring with one hand tied behind its back if its leaders can’t make progress on their domestic disagreements and moderate vicious political polarization.” “Foreign leaders will doubt American reliability more and more, hurting Washington’s relationships with the very countries whose loyalty it’s competing for with Beijing,” he wrote, as other countries doubt that the U.S. can commit to a program for longer than a single administration. Moreover, the crisis will hurt the power of the dollar, whose domination of the international monetary system has brought the U.S. extraordinary advantages. “Washington’s dysfunction also helps its autocratic adversaries in the global contest over ideology,” Chivvis notes. Indeed. Heather Cox Richardson

The dems don’t know what they are doing.
May 18, 2023 (Thursday) Citing “changing business conditions,” Disney leadership today canceled plans to build an office complex near Orlando, Florida. The construction was estimated to cost about $1 billion, and the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity projected it would bring to Florida more than 2,000 jobs with an average salary of $120,000. In his email to employees, Disney’s theme park and consumer products chair Josh D’Amaro made it clear that even more was on the line. He noted that Disney has planned more than $17 billion of construction in Florida, bringing about 13,000 jobs, over the next ten years but suggested that, too, was being reexamined. “I hope we’re able to,” he said. Disney is locked in a battle with Florida governor Ron DeSantis that began when, under pressure from employees, then–Disney chief executive officer Bob Chapek spoke out against Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act. This law, dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” law because its vague language prohibiting instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation seems designed to silence any acknowledgement of LGBTQ Americans in grades K–3, was DeSantis’s pet project. In retaliation, DeSantis led Florida Republicans to strip Disney of its ability to govern itself as if it were a county—as it has done since its inception in 1967—putting the board that controlled Disney under the control of a team hand-picked by DeSantis. But before the new board took over, the old board quietly and legally handed control of the parks over to Disney. Apparently furious, DeSantis suggested he would build a competing state park or a prison next to Disney’s Florida theme park. In April, the new board set out to claw power from Disney, while the company announced it will hold its first gay-themed pride event in California and that it will build an affordable housing development in its Florida district, a move that Floridians will like. Meanwhile, with DeSantis’s blessing, the Florida state board of education approved expanding the ban on classroom mention of LGBTQ people to include grades 4–12. On April 26, Disney sued the governor and those of his top advisors behind the attacks on Disney. The lawsuit noted that for more than 50 years, Disney “has made an immeasurable impact on Florida and its economy, establishing Central Florida as a top global tourist destination and attracting tens of millions of visitors to the State each year.” But, it said, “[a] targeted campaign of government retaliation—orchestrated at every step by Governor DeSantis as punishment for Disney’s protected speech— now threatens Disney’s business operations, jeopardizes its economic future in the region, and violates its constitutional rights.” The lawsuit called out DeSantis’s actions as “patently retaliatory, patently anti-business, and patently unconstitutional. But,” it said, “the Governor and his allies have made it clear they do not care and will not stop.” The company said it felt forced to sue for protection “from a relentless campaign to weaponize government power against Disney in retaliation for expressing a political viewpoint unpopular with certain State officials.” The fight between DeSantis and Disney illustrates the dramatic ideological change in the Republican Party in the last two years. No longer committed to keeping the government weak to stay out of the way of business development, the party is now committed to creating a strong government that enforces Christian nationalism. This is a major and crucially important political shift. From the earliest days of the Reagan Revolution, those leaders who wanted to slash the federal government to end business regulation and cut the social safety net recognized that they did not have the votes to put their program in place. To find those votes, they courted racists and traditionalists who hated the federal government’s protection of civil rights. Over time, that base became more and more powerful until Trump openly embraced it in August 2017, when he said there were “very fine people on both sides.” As he moved toward the techniques of authoritarians, his followers began to champion the system that Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán called “illiberal democracy” or “Christian democracy” in his own country. Orbán argued that the principle of equality in liberal democracy undermines countries by attacking the national culture. Instead, he called for an end to multiculturalism—including immigration—and any lifestyle that is not based on the “Christian family model.” He seized control of universities to make them preach his values. Today’s Republican leaders openly admire Orbán and appear to see themselves as the vanguard of a “post-liberal order.” They believe that the central tenets of democracy—free speech, religious liberty, academic freedom, equality before the law, and the ability of corporations to make decisions based on markets rather than religious values—have destroyed national virtue. Such a loss must be combated by a strong government that enforces religious values. Right-wing thinkers have observed with approval that DeSantis’s Florida is “our American Hungary.” Indeed, DeSantis’s “Don’t Say Gay” law appears to have been modeled on Orbán’s attacks on LGBTQ rights, which he has called a danger to “Western civilization.” DeSantis’s attack on the New College of Florida, turning a bastion of liberal thought into a right-wing beachhead, imitated Orbán’s attack on Hungary’s universities; on Monday, DeSantis signed three more bills that undermine the academic freedom of all the state universities in Florida by restricting what subjects can be taught and by weakening faculty rights. DeSantis’s attack on Disney is yet another attack on the tenets of liberal democracy. He is challenging the idea that Disney leaders can base business decisions on markets rather than religion and exercise free speech. There is another aspect of the Republicans’ turn against democracy in the news today. If democracy is a threat to their version of the nation, it follows that any institution that supports democracy should be destroyed. Today, the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, led by Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH), continued its attack on the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Ranking member Representative Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) pointed out that Jordan was violating committee rules by refusing to let Democrats on the committee see the transcripts he claims to have from a whistleblower. Other committee members noted that two of the witnesses have been paid by Trump loyalist Kash Patel. Plaskett warned: "The rules don't apply when it comes to the Republicans.... It's all part and parcel of the Republicans' attempt to make Americans distrust our rule of law so that when 2024 comes around and should their candidate not win, more and more people will not believe the truth. The truth matters." And so does power. Although House Republicans are trying to protect Representative George Santos (R-NY), who was just indicted on 13 counts, by sending his case to the Republican-dominated Ethics Committee rather than allowing a vote on whether to expel him, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) introduced articles of impeachment against President Biden. Also today, the far-right House Freedom Caucus has called for an end to any discussions of raising the debt ceiling until the Senate passes its bill calling for extreme budget cuts. Forcing the nation into default will cause a global economic panic and, asked if they should compromise with the White House, Representative Bob Good (R-VA) said: “Why would we? We have a winning hand.” Heather Cox Richardson

His budget requests $651 million for the Community Oriented Policing Services program, COPS the 1994 Clinton program, a major increase from last year. "The president, with the backing of leading law enforcement groups, secured the money that his predecessor opposed, to keep cops on the beat, and every single Republican member of Congress voted against it. The GOP continues to oppose the American Rescue Plan even as it delivers the rehiring of police in their districts."

Well Pete Stauber you were a FAILURE as a police officer just like YOU are a failure as a congressman! You DO NOT BACK the police you lying sack of 💩. You voted against everything so QUIT YOUR FN BULLSHIT!
Biden is so amusing, he can’t even walk down a flight of stairs. 😂
The people of the 8th district all stand with and back police officers!!! Without their bravery and dedication to the communities they serve, district 8 would be a cesspool of crime like Minneapolis.
So in the minds of those liberals who live in this group, this is how they feel about law enforcement. 1. All police officers working on capital hill on 1/6 are all wonderful law officers. 2. All police officers across the US after George Floyd died are all corrupt and all police departments need to be defunded! If police officers that do anything that supports their narrative they are wonderful officers but you do anything outside of their narrative they are all bad people. Republicans since day 1 has always supported the police even during and after 1/6. We have never waivered our support, which is why police unions back Republicans during elections. You cannot rely on dems for unconditional support.
How about telling us where you stand on this? apple.news/Aq4PWhhNxQly-7Zs-Nq6UxA

so true!! moose don,t have chance in mn, we have wolves taking down deer in our yard,
Nice to see a fact based non-politicized post for a change Pete. Unfortunately, the DNR can't manage wolf populations as long as they are on the endangered species list, and the fact that every time they come off the list a certain element of the population starts sponsoring contests to see how fast so called "hunters" can exterminate them just gets them quickly relisted again. Maybe you could think about how to find a sensible middle ground. I'd love to hear your ideas.
Yes we need to eliminate some of the wolf population
Data? Evidence?
Thanks for posting this Pete. Scott is a great person fighting for Moose for many years. We need to stand with him. Ev
Same here in Ontario
DNR=Do Nothing Right. A bloated pork,over funded taxpayer so called government agency.Dismantle and use the building to house Veterans,Please.
Sad the Minnesota DNR has let it get this bad!!!
The dnr is responsible for the decimated moose population. As much as I'd love to hunt wolves and moose, the burden for moose population is on the dnr shoulders for the failed collaring program that killed 80%+ of calves tagged. FOR YEARS.
Are you familiar with the workings of a political party that says they support law enforcement but cut funding for the (DNR, Forestry Service, and Interior Department) making collecting data on more than deer with the limited staff for setting seasons is impossible. Pete votes to perpetually politicize issues. Stauber is in a perfect position to talk to the Interior Department about the wolf population growing in populated areas of central Minnesota. Instead he holds a grudge against Secretary Hadland because she doesn’t bow down at his feet.
Should of been watching the wolf population a few years ago,same with coyotes!
So true. Let’s get it done. Let’s control the wolf population
We know, Pete. The problem is the incompetent Biden administration along with the Walz administration.
We need to bring back wolf hunting in Minnesota there’s Too many around when you used to see in 20 deer and now there’s four left that tells me there’s way too many wolves
Let’s not forget about the tribal hunts that still take place taking a toll on the adult population of moose that still remain.
Climate change causing more ticks and brain worms kills more moose than wolves. Bears and hunters are also responsible. Wolves have plenty of fish, rabbits, and berries to eat during spring and summer.
also farms live stock have taken a real beating because of the over population of wolves!!!! # fire up the hunt !!!!
Didn’t Minnesota pass a wolf hunting ban? It’s disgusting what this communist state is doing!
We have wolves in our backyard in Town .One reason we can't have our guns taken away by the Commies

The lawsuit noted that for more than 50 years, Disney “has made an immeasurable impact on Florida and its economy, establishing Central Florida as a top global tourist destination and attracting tens of millions of visitors to the State each year.” But, it said, “[a] targeted campaign of government retaliation—orchestrated at every step by Governor DeSantis as punishment for Disney’s protected speech— now threatens Disney’s business operations, jeopardizes its economic future in the region, and violates its constitutional rights.” The lawsuit called out DeSantis’s actions as “patently retaliatory, patently anti-business, and patently unconstitutional. But,” it said, “the Governor and his allies have made it clear they do not care and will not stop.” The company said it felt forced to sue for protection “from a relentless campaign to weaponize government power against Disney in retaliation for expressing a political viewpoint unpopular with certain State officials.” The fight between DeSantis and Disney illustrates the dramatic ideological change in the Republican Party in the last two years. No longer committed to keeping the government weak to stay out of the way of business development, the party is now committed to creating a strong government that enforces Christian nationalism. This is a major and crucially important political shift. From the earliest days of the Reagan Revolution, those leaders who wanted to slash the federal government to end business regulation and cut the social safety net recognized that they did not have the votes to put their program in place. To find those votes, they courted racists and traditionalists who hated the federal government’s protection of civil rights. Over time, that base became more and more powerful until Trump openly embraced it in August 2017, when he said there were “very fine people on both sides.” As he moved toward the techniques of authoritarians, his followers began to champion the system that Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán called “illiberal democracy” or “Christian democracy” in his own country. Orbán argued that the principle of equality in liberal democracy undermines countries by attacking the national culture. Instead, he called for an end to multiculturalism—including immigration—and any lifestyle that is not based on the “Christian family model.” He seized control of universities to make them preach his values. Today’s Republican leaders openly admire Orbán and appear to see themselves as the vanguard of a “post-liberal order.” They believe that the central tenets of democracy—free speech, religious liberty, academic freedom, equality before the law, and the ability of corporations to make decisions based on markets rather than religious values—have destroyed national virtue. Such a loss must be combated by a strong government that enforces religious values. Right-wing thinkers have observed with approval that DeSantis’s Florida is “our American Hungary.” Indeed, DeSantis’s “Don’t Say Gay” law appears to have been modeled on Orbán’s attacks on LGBTQ rights, which he has called a danger to “Western civilization.” DeSantis’s attack on the New College of Florida, turning a bastion of liberal thought into a right-wing beachhead, imitated Orbán’s attack on Hungary’s universities; on Monday, DeSantis signed three more bills that undermine the academic freedom of all the state universities in Florida by restricting what subjects can be taught and by weakening faculty rights. DeSantis’s attack on Disney is yet another attack on the tenets of liberal democracy. He is challenging the idea that Disney leaders can base business decisions on markets rather than religion and exercise free speech. There is another aspect of the Republicans’ turn against democracy in the news today. If democracy is a threat to their version of the nation, it follows that any institution that supports democracy should be destroyed. Today, the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, led by Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH), continued its attack on the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Ranking member Representative Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) pointed out that Jordan was violating committee rules by refusing to let Democrats on the committee see the transcripts he claims to have from a whistleblower. Other committee members noted that two of the witnesses have been paid by Trump loyalist Kash Patel. Plaskett warned: "The rules don't apply when it comes to the Republicans.... It's all part and parcel of the Republicans' attempt to make Americans distrust our rule of law so that when 2024 comes around and should their candidate not win, more and more people will not believe the truth. The truth matters." And so does power. Although House Republicans are trying to protect Representative George Santos (R-NY), who was just indicted on 13 counts, by sending his case to the Republican-dominated Ethics Committee rather than allowing a vote on whether to expel him, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) introduced articles of impeachment against President Biden. Also today, the far-right House Freedom Caucus has called for an end to any discussions of raising the debt ceiling until the Senate passes its bill calling for extreme budget cuts. Forcing the nation into default will cause a global economic panic and, asked if they should compromise with the White House, Representative Bob Good (R-VA) said: “Why would we? We have a winning hand.” Heather Cox Richardson

Hypocrite. You won't denounce the reign of lawlessness and anarchy on J6 that was caused by Your God Trump after he invited his thugs to the Capitol and allowed his thugs to do what thugs do. Everyone loves good cops like those who exhibited exemplary courage on J6. And duh! Criminals should be held accountable, and that includes Your Lord God Trump, who wants to pardon his seditionist terrorists. I love good cops. Always have. Always will.
