Rep. Harry Niska, a Minnesota state legislator, posted a series of tweets on August 29, 2025, criticizing what he described as partisan actions by political opponents and calling for accountability among elected officials.

In his first post at 20:09 UTC, Niska commented on the nature of recent political outreach efforts, stating, "If this were serious and not a partisan stunt, he would be calling Republicans, starting with the Speaker of the House. But, in fact, it’s just a partisan stunt."

Shortly afterward at 20:18 UTC, Niska expressed strong disapproval regarding an unspecified incident or campaign. He wrote, "This is disgusting. Fire everyone responsible. Especially the politicians."

In a subsequent tweet at 20:28 UTC directed toward Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Niska questioned the governor's awareness and leadership in response to ongoing fundraising activities by House DFL members. Niska tweeted, "Is @GovTimWalz aware of this? If he were actually interested in productive unifying leadership instead of partisan exploitation, he would tell the House DFL (in those calls he is making) to end this disgusting fundraising campaign."

These posts reflect broader tensions between Minnesota Republican lawmakers and Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) leaders over issues such as legislative process transparency and political fundraising practices. Disagreements over perceived partisanship have been recurrent themes in recent state legislative sessions.
