Member of Tim Walz Administration Arrested in Minnesota After Keying a Tesla While Walking His Dog

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been having a grand old time bashing Elon Musk and Tesla while speaking to crowds of angry leftists in recent weeks.

One person who works under his administration apparently took the governor’s message to heart.

A government analyst in the state was just caught keying a Tesla while he was out walking his dog. He has reportedly been arrested.

The Daily Mail reports:

A member of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s administration has been repeatedly caught on camera allegedly vandalizing parked Tesla vehicles with his keys while out walking his dog.

Dylan Bryan Adams, 33, a fiscal policy analyst for the State of Minnesota, was captured on vehicle surveillance footage allegedly dragging a key across the exteriors of several Teslas, stripping paint and causing thousands of dollars in damage.

Authorities reportedly arrested Adams on suspicion of causing an estimated $20,000 in damage, with formal charges still pending, according to the Minnesota-based crime watch account @CrimeWatchMpls on X.

Disturbing surveillance videos showed Adams allegedly approaching the vehicles from across the street, leash in one hand, while pulling his keys from his pocket with the other.

In one clip, he allegedly carved into the rear of a Tesla.

In another, he seemingly targeted the side of the vehicle nearest the sidewalk, again using his key to scratch a deep line across the car’s body.

Trainwreck Tim Walz Took Minnesota From A $19 Billion Surplus To A $6 Billion Deficit

Americans have seen a lot of Tim Walz lately as the failed vice-presidential candidate has held town halls nationally criticizing national Republicans. In a telling interview, he admitted to the New York Magazine this week, “90% of the time, I can be really good, but about 10% of the time, I can be a train wreck.”

And in an interview with Jake Tapper that was itself something of a train wreck, he rejected the conclusion that every American with a pulse now acknowledges: that Walz and other Democrats should have forced Joe Biden off the presidential ticket in light of his obvious cognitive decline.

Walz is indeed often a train wreck, and as Walz tramps around the country seeking to place himself as the foil to congressional Republicans and Donald Trump, to really understand what a disaster he is, we only need to look at the ongoing mess he has left behind in Minnesota.

A Fiscal Disaster of Walz’s Own Making

It is not hyperbole to say that Minnesota’s finances are in free fall. After boasting a record-setting $19 billion surplus in 2022 — larger than the full budgets of 20 U.S. states — the Minnesotans learned earlier this month that it faces a staggering $6 billion budget deficit. How did this happen? In 2023, Walz and his Democrat allies in the legislature embarked on the most reckless spending spree in Minnesota history, funneling billions into pet projects and giveaways for every left-wing constituency imaginable. The surplus wasn’t used to shore up Minnesota’s long-term financial stability or to return money to taxpayers. Instead, it was squandered in the most reckless fiscal step taken in Minnesota’s modern history.

Walz’s relationship with the truth has always been a distant one, and this case was no exception. Walz tried to falsely pin the financial crisis on the new Trump administration, despite state officials confirming that federal policy did not affect their budget projections. 

Among the drivers of the state’s coming deficit is a stagnant Minnesota economy. Although once among the strongest in the country, the state now routinely ranks in the bottom 10 states for GDP growth. Job creation has stagnated, and businesses are increasingly looking elsewhere to expand or move. Meanwhile, Walz has increased tax burdens on individuals and businesses and made Minnesota one of the least competitive states for economic growth.

Minnesota Police Chief Calls Tesla Vandal a Victim

I’ve been avoiding writing stories about Tesla for the simple fact that, in recent months, every other news story has been about people keying, torching, vandalizing, and attacking Tesla cars, trucks, dealerships, and charging stations. It is practically a daily ritual to scan the morning headlines for the latest sit report on the Great Tesla Siege of 2025. 

Of course, Tesla Madness is only the latest wave in years of increasingly psychotic behavior from a mixed bag of spoiled college students, unhappy, unfulfilled white women, and ’60s leftovers who should be spending their declining years doing hash and listening to “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” in their golf carts at The Villages. Sadly enough, the cadre of allegedly enlightened people who are doing their level best to set Homo sapiens back a million years to its earliest ancestors hardly qualifies as being newsworthy at this point. These people make the ape-men in “2001: A Space Odyssey” opening sequences look like PhD. candidates at the Emily Post School of Etiquette. 

Ironically, that is what makes this story quasi-noteworthy. According to a piece in the Minnesota Star Tribune, a woman was walking past a Cub Foods in Bloomington, Minn. She saw a Tesla in the parking lot and felt it was her civic duty to inflict thousands of dollars in damage to the vehicle by keying it. $3,200, to be exact.

CCP’s Hidden Nerve Center Exposed in Minnesota: Report

A brick building on North Eustis Street in St. Paul has emerged as a critical operational hub for Chinese Communist Party (CCP) activities in the United States, according to a recent US House Oversight Committee report and investigative findings.

The unassuming location serves multiple strategic functions for the CCP, including cultivating political relationships, hosting diplomatic events and providing services for Chinese Americans loyal to Beijing. 

Registered businesses at this address have reportedly received substantial taxpayer-funded grants, raising significant national security concerns.

The facility is associated with multiple organizations, including the Alliance of Chinese Culture & Arts, the Center for Community Service and the Overseas Chinese Service Center of Minnesota (Minnesota OCSC).

Minnesota Lawmakers File Bill To Legalize Psilocybin Possession And Cultivation

Minnesota lawmakers have introduced a bill that would legalize the non-commercial possession and cultivation of psilocybin by adults 21 and older.

Rep. Andy Smith (D) filed the legislation on Monday, with seven original cosponsors. The measure largely informed by the findings and recommendations of a task force that was established under a separate bill that Gov. Tim Walz (D) signed into law in 2024.

“I’ve had a couple folks ask me this: ‘We’re in a tight moment. Inflation is rising. Why is this something that you’re working on?’” Smith, who served on the task force and whose prior legislation created the body, told Marijuana Moment in a phone interview on Tuesday. “And it goes back to, all of us recognize, know someone or struggle ourselves with mental health—and that has been apparent for a while.”

“I think the pandemic highlighted how much we have to go as a society and how we deal with very complex issues, and these medications have shown, in studies, to have great potential to help in that,” Smith said. “I think that’s why it’s important—and it’s important to move on these quickly and responsibly.”

Under the lawmaker’s proposal, the state law would be revised to make it so adults would not face criminal or civil penalties for the personal “use, possession, transportation and cultivation.”

The purpose section of the legislation states that the reform is meant to “reduce the burden on the criminal justice system, promote harm reduction, and enable individuals to make personal decisions regarding the use of psilocybin without fear of prosecution.”

A Psychedelic Medicine Board would be established under the bill to establish possession limits. Smith said that requirement—as well as components that may prove more controversial in an especially divided legislature such as decriminalizing cultivation—will likely be up for debate as the measure moves through the process.

Minnesota Republican accused of soliciting sex with 16-year-old girl

Minnesota state Sen. Justin Eichorn, a Republican, was arrested on Monday on suspicion of trying to solicit a minor.

Minnesota Public Radio reported Tuesday that the Bloomington Police Department claimed Eichorn, “who thought he was talking to a 16-year-old female,” was actually in touch with detectives. He then scheduled a meetup on Monday, where police arrested him, officials said.

MPR cited Eichorn’s biography, which states he is “an entrepreneur and married with four children.”

Senate Republican Leader Mark Johnson said he wouldn’t comment to MPR before he was able to review the information.

Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy, a Democrat, released a statement saying, “The felony allegation against Senator Eichorn is deeply disturbing, and raises serious questions that will need to be answered by the court, as well as his caucus and constituents.”

Local police had a different take.

“As a 40-year-old man, if you come to the Orange Jumpsuit District looking to have sex with someone’s child, you can expect that we are going to lock you up,” Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges told KSTP News.

The report also said that formal charges had not yet been filed.

Minnesota Judge Rules That Native American Man Can Be Prosecuted Over Marijuana Possession On Reservation Despite State Legalization

A Minnesota district court judge ruled that the state may prosecute Native Americans on most reservations for possessing large amounts of marijuana, allowing a felony case against a White Earth man to proceed.

The ruling is the first—though likely not the last—to address state law enforcement’s jurisdiction over marijuana in Indian Country since Minnesota legalized its recreational use in 2023.

Todd Thompson, a White Earth citizen, faces a felony possession charge with a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine for selling marijuana without a license from his tobacco store in Mahnomen on the White Earth reservation.

Mahnomen County sheriff’s deputies and White Earth tribal police raided his store on August 2, 2023, a day after recreational cannabis became legal in Minnesota, and seized about 7.5 pounds of cannabis, 433 grams of marijuana wax and $2,748 in cash along with Thompson’s cell phone and surveillance system.

Thompson asked Mahnomen County District Judge Seamus Duffy to dismiss the charge, arguing that the state doesn’t have the legal jurisdiction to prosecute him.

Under what’s called Public Law 280, Minnesota has the power to prosecute tribal members on certain reservations including White Earth’s for criminal acts but not civil or regulatory violations of state law. Thompson and his attorney, Claire Glenn, argued that after cannabis was legalized in Minnesota, possessing and selling the drug became a regulatory matter, not a criminal one.

The judge, in a ruling issued earlier this month, disagreed. He wrote that the possession of “non-personal, non-recreational amounts of marijuana in public is generally prohibited,” and that just because the state may issue licenses to businesses to sell marijuana, doesn’t mean it’s only a regulatory matter. He pointed to a case in which a White Earth man was convicted of possessing a pistol without a permit on tribal land.

Minnesota’s COVID Snitch Line Exposed: Hundreds Turned in Neighbors for Going Outside!

In March 2020, the State of Minnesota opened a hotline for residents to report violations to Gov. Tim Walz’s (D) COVID-19 stay-at-home orders, social distancing guidelines and lockdown directives.

Through a Freedom of Information Act request, Infowars has exclusively obtained over 950 emails and phone calls that were sent in to Minnesota’s violation tip line, showing busybody residents reporting others for using city parks, attending drive-thru church services, and indeed for merely walking on the sidewalk.

The emails illustrate how the fear instilled by the media and corporate establishment resulted in neighbors turning against one another, eagerly buying in hook, line and sinker to the largest psy-op campaign ever waged on humanity.

Below are just a few emails we’ve reviewed that show the extent to which many went along with Gov. Walz’s request.

Beware: These people live among you.

In one of the more incredible emails, a woman reported her own 18-year-old brother for “going back and forth…between houses.”

Minnesota Pizza Chain Kicks Out Group of Republicans and Trump Supporters — ‘Deeply Sorry’ Owners Now Attempting Damage Control

A Minnesota pizzeria is now attempting damage control after kicking out a group of Republicans and Trump supporters over the weekend.

Reports of the incident began circulating on social media on Saturday after the group of Republican staffers and activists were expelled from the facility on the grounds that they did not accept political events.

Dalia al-Aqidi, a Republican Congressional candidate in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, told The Gateway Pundit that their expulsion was not a misunderstanding.

She explained:

This was not a misunderstanding. The individual, who appeared to be a manager, repeatedly insisted that we leave, stating, “Please leave now.”

We were simply a group enjoying a meal after a Senate District convention, and several of us clarified to her that this was not a political event—just a gathering over dinner.

Despite our explanations, she refused to listen, displaying a level of disrespect that was deeply disappointing.

This incident should serve as a wake-up call for everyone. While we may reside in a predominantly blue district, we will not allow ourselves to be bullied or silenced.

We are one community, and it is essential that we learn to coexist with mutual respect, regardless of our political differences.

Amid calls to boycott the establishment, Davanni’s have released a statement assuring customers that they are open to everyone, regardless of their political opinions.

Minnesota Lawmakers, Cities And Businesses Raise Alarm Over State’s Pending Marijuana Contracts With Tribal Nations

People interested in the recreational cannabis market who are not Gov. Tim Walz (DFL) or leaders of the state’s tribal nations have been asking when, where and how they can present their views on imminent state-tribal cannabis compacts.

The answer is: They can’t. The pending compacts that are now expected to allow the state’s tribal nations to enter the legal cannabis business outside of their reservations will not be made public until they are signed by Walz and the tribes. Once signed, they would be the first state-tribal cannabis compacts in the U.S. to allow tribal enterprises to operate outside of reservation lands, and they can’t be amended without mutual agreement.

That leaves lawmakers, local governments and potential cannabis business people to raise issues publicly with little expectation that they will be considered by state negotiators. Walz endorsed the basic tenets of the deal—that the tribes would get a large chunk of the off-reservation market and be allowed to open their stores well before non-tribal stores can open.

“They’re great partners in this. They know how to do this,” Walz said. “Many of them are ahead, obviously enough to set up for them and their sovereignty, to be cultivating. So I think we’re in good shape, and I think they’ll be executed in the near future. And I think that’s the first step in a broader market that is going to be big, and it’ll shake itself out over time.”

He said having tribal stores open first “lets us get out there.”
