Roundtable hosted by @mccollum.house.gov today. Leaders in the health & Medicaid sectors spoke on the devastating impacts of HR1. Justin, a writer, blogger, & disability advocate, shared the human impact. We have urgent work to mitigate the damage from this horrible law.

I'll be in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for the CSG-MW Leg Conference this week. As an appointed member of the Energy and Environment committee, I'll be keenly listening about views related to nuclear energy. I'm looking forward to non-partisan, interstate, and cross-national conversations.

As a proud union member & daughter of a DNP, I know it's important to have qualified nurses & Advanced Practice Providers in our community. It's time for Essentia Health to bargain in good faith. These vital workers are there for us through health questions & ER visits, & we must stand w/ them✊

We had a fun day at the Prairie Island Indian Community Wacipi! The frybread was a hit, and our favorite dance was the Women's Fancy Shawl dance.

I was proud to walk in solidarity yesterday with @mapeunion.bsky.social & @afscme.bsky.social as they negotiate their contract. I was honored for the opportunity to give remarks. Our state workers keep Minnesota running, & deserve a fair contract. Look who I found- @senatordoronclark.bsky.social!

A time for us to mourn Melissa and Mark as a community. We are asked to bring our own candles, and please do not bring signs.

Happy Memorial Day! What a beautiful day to thank those that serve in our military, our veterans, and those that made the ultimate sacrifice. This year was a little extra special knowing that our SGU veterans will finally have the overdue recognition they deserve.
