While all the races in Minnesota got the headlines Tuesday, almost nobody noticed what Voters just passed with Amendment 1...

Back in 1858 Minnesota set up a Permanent School Trust Fund from 2.5M acres of mining and timber land...today it sits at $2.4 Billion

For 168 years the State Constitution kept the Principal "perpetual and inviolate"...meaning Politicians could ONLY spend the interest and dividends,(about 2.5% a year) and couldn't touch the nest egg

How did they sell Amendment 1 on the ballot? "More money for schools without raising taxes"...so of course 73% voted Yes

Here is what it ACTUALLY did:

- Stripped "perpetual and inviolate" right out of the Constitution
- Bumped the payout to 4.5% of the fund's value,(so in a down market it eats straight into the Principal)
- Put that 4.5% cap in regular Statute instead of the Constitution...and killed a 2/3 supermajority rule in committee 7-1

Oh and remember...Democrats just took total control of St. Paul right before a brutal 2027 budget deficit

So now a Simple Majority can crank that payout higher whenever they run short of cash...

168 years of guardrails gone overnight. The founders of this State are rolling in their graves...

One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.

So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."

Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.

There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.

But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.

Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:

1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel

Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)

In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.

The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.

If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.

But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.

I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

[Walter Hudson @WalterHudson]

Minnesota is done.

Democrats will redistrict Republicans into oblivion and amend the state constitution to negate the legislature and make activist judges the true authors of law.

Even if Republicans win later, it won't matter, because anything they pass will be undone.

I voted for life. I voted for America to have a future. I voted against communism. I voted against foreign invaders and fraud. I voted against the "warmth and comfort of collectivism", I voted for the rugged individual, heavy on the rugged. I voted knowing they cheat, I voted because you lose 100% of the games you forfeit. Let the games behind.

People aren’t going to like this, but 2.5 BILLION abortions in 45 years... More deaths than war or cancer combined throughout all of human history. If you lose the basic value of life as a jenga piece of our culture, everything else falls apart. I know, it’s more convenient to ignore this one!

[Colion Noir @MrColionNoir]

An Instagram creator asked gun owners a question she thought would expose a contradiction:

**“Is your gun just for protecting your gun?”**

In other words, when Second Amendment supporters talk about defending their liberty, are they really just talking about keeping their firearms?

It's an interesting question.

But her own argument raises a much bigger one.

In her caption, she criticizes Fourth Amendment violations, abuses of government power, and threats to constitutional protections.

Then she questions why gun owners place so much importance on the Second Amendment.

In this video, I respond to her argument and break down what liberty actually means, why the Founders recognized rights that existed before government, and how the Second Amendment fits alongside freedom of speech, due process, and protection from unreasonable searches.

We also discuss something much more immediate than political philosophy.

The right to defend yourself when someone threatens your life.

Because for many gun owners, firearms aren't simply collectibles or political symbols.

They're tools of personal protection.

And that brings us back to her original question.

**Is owning a gun primarily about protecting the gun itself, or protecting the life and freedoms of the person who owns it?**

Tell me where you stand.

[GINGERSKOL💜💛 @GlowSurfing]

Yes, we do!! ♥️

[Rise Of Alberta @RiseOfAlberta]

Tomorrow, Alberta votes.

The question: stay as a province of Canada, or start the legal process toward a binding referendum on independence.

If Option 2 wins, that second vote could come as early as 2027.

The map of North America could start to change tomorrow.

[National Association for Gun Rights @gunrights]

Millions of gun owners were just freed from much of the NFA’s tyranny.

Now, we have to make it permanent.

A right that only exists at the ATF’s discretion is a permission slip. What one administration chooses not to enforce, the next one can enforce again.

Abolish the NFA. All of it.
