When school is remote due to extreme cold, Univ. of MN Day at the Capitol becomes a family affair! We explored a variety of booths from soil health & farming to dentistry & drones. Wrapped it up with a constituent meeting to cover the importance of investing in higher education!

My thoughs on the NOAA cuts (which includes the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center).

I am proud to be a part of this event tomorrow! Please come join us if you can as we show our support for science & evidence-based policies!

And the cuts are even more dangerous now than 8 years ago: research for serious diseases, weather operations, even care for veterans...so many things critical to the health, safety, and even lives of Americans are being cut.

When you're a self-admitted science nerd, and it's March 14 (3.14), it's the perfect reason to bring in a treat to work! Happy Pi Day!

He called this "DEI" not enforcing standards, so clearly, he meant weight. First, there's no context. This person could be pregnant, something else medical, etc. Even if not, I've personally seen far more men not meet the weight standard vs women. This is just sexist nonsense.

I hope you will join me and the rest of the Woodbury legislative delegation on Saturday, April 12th for a community town hall! All district residents are invited to attend upon RSVP’ing here: forms.gle/55s5gkJiYiMvgX…

First, quite a bit of pea sized hail, then a needed soaking here in Woodbury!

In addition to his wonderful movie roles, Val Kilmer was also a huge Mark Twain fan. One of his major projects in his later years was exploring the character of Twain, including in a one-man show, which I saw back in 2013. I met him after the show, & he was very gracious. RIP.

A little compare and contrast from today. The "Hands Off" rally in front of the MN Capitol. The exact same time, in the Rotunda, one of MN's Republican Senators at a rally he helped organize. 😂

I had the pleasure of meeting w/the East Ridge Unified Club a couple weeks ago. They shared about their wonderful, inclusive program, + invited me to a Polar Plunge fundraiser they’re having Wed to support Special Olympics! I'll be taking the plunge: reg.plungemn.org/participant/ni…

The Polar Plunge at East Ridge H.S. yesterday was a huge success - the event raised over $10,000 for Unified Club & Special Olympics! I'm so honored I was asked to participate. (Fortunately I changed after floor session & didn't have to compete with Sen. Lucero’s outfits! 😂)

Proud to be a host for last night's Planned Parenthood Spring into Action event. Amazing line up of speakers, including former colleague, Congresswoman Morrison, set to inspire, energize, and strengthen our drive to continuously protect our reproductive healthcare and freedoms.

Today's risk for severe weather in MN is significant, including for tornado 🌪️ development. Have a plan to stay safe! Sadly, forecasting for life-threatening events like these is harder to do with the gutting Trump did to National Weather Service, including suspending weather balloon launches.

Happy #NursesWeek, with today being #NationalNursesDay! I'm thankful to all nurses do to ensure quality healthcare, including offering comfort in some of our most difficult moments. Special shout-out to my baby sister, a nurse here in MN! 💙 Minnesota Nurses

Lol. This is because MN has standards. A lake must cover 10 acres or more. WI counts just about anything as a lake. (2.2 acres or greater)

And congratulations to all the graduating students for all their hard work!

Happy unofficial start of summer! MN ranks #2 in boats per capita—& we’re proud of it! 🚤 This Safe Boating Week & all season, make safety a top priority to keep MN waters safe & fun! 🌦Check the weather (always!) 🚤Wear a life jacket 🍸Boat Sober 📚Take a safety course

A moving #MemorialDay2025 ceremony at the St. Cloud VA this a.m., hosted by the St. Cloud area METROVETS. I was seated next to a Gold Star family, & their loss was unimaginable. Afterwards, it was nice to connect w/other veteran advocates (photo with MN DAV Commander Walker). 🇺🇸

A perfect spring day enjoying a couple MN treasures... Thanks Minnesota DNR for the hatchery tour! Our scout troop learned about the process from egg to stocking MN lakes + saw baby musky. Then, a great time Ordway Center for the Performing Arts Flint Hills Family Fest. Music 🎶, activities, & saw a great show!
