Actions for Liberty - Actions 4 Liberty. Strib has content, but paywalled. So, elsewhere on the web there is open content. All a Minnesota curiosity.

All of that might strike Crabgrass readers as disjointed propaganda for somebody.

For context, some fair use quoting from paywalled Strib items:

Republican congressional delegation skips Minnesota GOP’s annual fundraiser amid internal tensions

The U.S. House is not in session Monday, but Minnesota’s highest-ranking Republicans were not expected to attend the party’s largest fundraising dinner.

May 12, 2025

says - 

Hundreds of conservatives across Minnesota gathered in Bloomington on Monday evening for one of the state Republican Party’s biggest fundraising events of the year.

But none of the state‘s highest-ranking Republicans attended the event amid disagreements with the direction the party is going under the leadership of its new chair Alex Plechash and executive director Jennifer DeJournett, who they believe are associating too closely with conservative grassroots factions of the party, several Republican sources told the Minnesota Star Tribune.

It’s a stark contrast from last year, when President Donald Trump headlined the fundraiser and the state‘s highest-ranking GOP Rep. Tom Emmer, the No. 3 Republican in the U.S. House, pledged to donate $100,000 to the party.

“I think the congressional folks want to see a strong party and want to see a party that they can work with,” said former Minnesota GOP Chair David Hann, who lost the leadership position to Plechash in December. “It seems that they’re not finding that in the current administration.”

Plechash denied that there‘s friction between the state party and congressional delegation, calling it “simply false.”

[...] Republican sources say the congressional delegation is refusing to help the party financially until it stops its affiliation with Action 4 Liberty and gets rid of party officials they believe are too closely affiliated with the group. Action 4 Liberty is a far-right group that has antagonized GOP elected officials for years.

If you're antagonizing Republicans and on Crypto Tom's other list, you can't be all bad, can you? More fair use -

New Minnesota GOP leaders seek peace with party’s anti-establishment wing

The state GOP wants to resolve intraparty feuds before the 2026 election. But some Republicans are calling for the party to cut out its fringe factions, not work with them.

The Minnesota Star Tribune

The new leaders of Minnesota’s Republican Party want to make peace with anti-establishment activists heading into the 2026 election, when the governor’s office, Legislature and other statewide offices will be on the ballot.

Minnesota GOP Chair Alex Plechash, who was elected in December, said it’s time to resolve intraparty feuds and bring the so-called “grassroots” activists into the fold. The push for unity comes after the anti-establishment wing flexed its power last year, blocking an incumbent congresswoman from winning the GOP endorsement and helping far-right Republican Royce White clinch the party’s backing for U.S. Senate. White lost to Democratic U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar by about 16 percentage points.

“There has been a feeling from the grassroots — and I think that’s one of the reasons I got elected — that they weren’t paid attention to, and they were kind of shunned in a way,” Plechash said in an interview. “I’m out here to say, ‘No, we’re going to pay attention to everybody.‘

“The Republican Party prides itself on being the party of grassroots,” he said.

Both Strib items are longer and more detailed, so if you're a subscriber or otherwise have access, each above headline is the link.

Trying to make sense of things, there are two Minnesota Republican factions at each other - so bless them both and wish them well in destroying the other.

Again, any opposition to the evil of Pete Stauber against the BWCA, and opposition against Crypto Tom can't be all bad. Arguably, a blessing.

Seeing Republicans in disarray in Minnesota against each other does have the Hogg - DNC inner party fest looking tepid. I think. It's hard to say since Republicans are disjointed and paranoid even when in solidarity. They are who they are.

And again, in fairness, Crypto Tom is several cuts better than his predecessor in office. A clear upgrade over Michel Bachmann. But still . . .

Now, you tell me, are Actions for Liberty and Actions 4 Liberty the same thing or different? Strib seems to suggest there might be overlap or interchangeability.

 _________UPDATE________

PiPress, MinnReformer, and MinnPost seem to ignore the intraparty play day.

Axios Twin Cities is too terse, noting an establishment vs insurgency situation impacts a dinner attendance, which the fair use Strib Quoting fleshed out a bit.

Crabgrass is unaware of any Republican blogging touching insurgency. Mitch Berg is throwing shame at Hogg (and Walz), Gary Gross is throwing shame at Walz and Ellison while cheerleading for a Trump economic turnaround, a "Boom" at summer's end or thereabouts. To them I'd ask, is your own house in order? It's a neater story, more razz and dazz and intrigue, so why no coverage? Brodkorb avoids the story, but it seems the Republican Congressional delegation boycotting a fundraiser is a story those GOP savants might consider.
