Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot.

And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other.

I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong.

Sad to see more brothers lose their jobs at Cliffs. One bit of hope in the article is the USW president saying US Steel are investing and hiring in MN

RESULT: Democrats have defended the Minnesota senate.

Their one-seat margin was at play in a special election tonight, though to be clear this was a clearly Dem-leaning seat.

Of course, this is on top of the mountain of seats Dems have flipped in the Virginia House to expand their majority there.
