MK and I are deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Governor Jim Edgar. Governor Edgar was a model public servant, a devoted father and husband, and an honest and honorable man.

Millions of kids rely on SNAP to automatically enroll them in a free school lunch program. Cuts to SNAP threaten to take away the nutrition kids need to learn and grow.

As a fmr student advocate, I'll remember Rep. Hortman's kindness & willingness to engage w/ students. While I didn't know her that well, she checked in on my job search after graduation, a kindness I've always appreciated. I hope to honor the Hortmans' memory. I hope you do, too.

The Humphrey Job Corps Center in St. Paul serves 170 at-risk youth, many of whom are homeless and receive housing from Job Corps. Shutting down this campus disrupts the education and training they were pursuing so they could start a good-paying career. thehill.com/business/budge…

Wow. So the Pope is identifying the need for guardrails with tech and A-I. …he gets that this has been a major issue for kids exposed to bad stuff and people getting misinformation. If it takes a pope and some divine intervention to get this congress to move, fine by me. 🙏

Americans deserve to fly without fear. After a near-miss in March between a passenger flight to MSP and military aircraft, I asked the FAA to explain what happened and to take steps to prevent another close call. Today, they provided some answers at our Commerce hearing. Watch:
