Minnesota's Republican Party Down To Their Last $53.81
A number of state Republican Party operations are now operating on fumes, mostly due to a combination of donations drying up, absurd election result-denying lawsuits, and party apparatus's being overrun by incompetent MAGA zealots. Raw Story detailed the amusing (and pathetic) story of Minnesota's Republican Party where their latest FEC filing showed a scant $53.81 in the coffers. They were also recently fined $100,000 for campaign finance violations for shoddy (non-existent) record keeping.

According to the latest filings with the Federal Election Commission, the Republican Party of Minnesota has just $53.81 in the bank — not even enough money to buy a single Amazon Fire tablet with Prime Day discounts applied. By contrast, the party is reporting almost $334,000 in debts.
All of this comes as the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party recently gained full control of the state legislature, and is working with Gov. Tim Walz to pass a flurry of progressive legislation, from voting rights to gun reforms to universal school lunches.
