Regarding concerns that today’s Columbus statue civil disobedience will impact kids’ learning, here’s my take: anyone who thinks statues are a good way to teach history has never chaperoned a school field trip that included statues.

- Heartbroken over the deaths of Rep Melissa Hortman & her husband Mark, and the critical conditions of Sen John Hoffman & his wife Yvette. They are more than dear friends, but also some of the greatest public servants I have ever known. Violence has no place in our democracy.
- If @Tim_Walz is the VP, who’s going to serve MN’s hot dogs, grilled steaks, ice cream, booya…? He’s genuinely good at it, because he’s genuinely genuine. Go get ‘em Tim!
- That’s my Governor! (But I’d be willing to share him with the rest of the country).
- I am truly grateful for the outpouring of love and support shown to @MelisaFranzen and I. We are fortunate to have sustained minimal injury from our rollover accident after departing Farmfest. I remained overnight in the hospital for a minor concussion and I’m heading home. 1/3
- Keep MLK’s quote “A riot is the language of the unheard” in your mind today. In reacting to the destruction, our reflex may be to focus on the violence. For real change though, let’s see the grief first, then act on the need for justice. #GeorgeFloyd photo: @xinewin
- I wondered why the MN GOP delayed confirmations for so long. After today’s ambush of Commissioner Leppink, it seems to be about holding a sword over their heads for leverage against the Governor. That’s a terrible way to treat public servants & the Minnesotans they serve. #mnleg
- Don’t mess with bonus moms- if we can organize Thanksgiving around a blended family, we can win an election.JD Vance says women who haven’t given birth like Kamala Harris are “childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives,” and have “no direct stake” in America.

- Let’s take some time today to support the abortion providers and advocates who were also targeted by Hortmans’ assassin.
- My baby is ready for the @mnstatefair! Can you guess the total number of beans used to make it? #blahauditor
