Given her lack of connection to Ward 2, it should come as no surprise that her biggest accomplishment as an Apple Valley legislator was described by one DFL legislator as “Taking money from Minneapolis and St. Paul.”

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

When a friend loses a loved one, acknowledge it and support them in concrete ways. Send a condolence card. Make then food. Have them over for dinner. Send them a gift card. Help them with arrangements. Don’t just say “let me know if you need anything.”
