She was a friend and this is her.
She didn't chase the spotlight—she built coalitions, held the line, and got things done. A true Minnesotan leader. Thank you, Melissa Hortman, for your steady hand and fierce heart. You made this state better. #mnleg

We’re sending a team of firefighters from DNR to support wildfire response efforts in California.
 
I'm proud of these emergency responders who are stepping up to provide critical support — they're heroes who are protecting communities and saving lives.

You may not believe in climate change but your insurance company does. When your payment skyrockets because organizations whose entire job is measure risk decide that your community is risky you will get that climate inaction is screwing you, personally. Not birds and butterflies. You.

“On the hottest day of the year, our air conditioner failed. With the IRA and other incentives, we received a 25% cost reduction — about $6,300. Our air conditioning bill is now halved. My persistent cough, likely aggravated by burning gas in the home, has improved.” www.sltrib.com/opinion/lett...
