Love this!.
Biiwaabiko-miikana = Train Track . It’s a compound word. Biiwaabik pertains to something hard (usually metallic or stone). By itself biiwaabik just means iron ore. The “o” is a connector. And miikana means road. Ojibwe word of the day!. Learning languages is fun and good for

I worked with Jen in St. Paul. She’s tenacious, smart, and gets things done. She’s also pragmatic and a problem solver, both things we need right now in Washington. Good luck, Jen! You’ve earned my unwavering support through our work together over the years.

I’ll enjoy this drive the rest of my life. Good job Guido, still bringing it all back home from the other side. Thank you @RepLislegard and @grant_hauschild.
The Minnesota Senate and House today moved swiftly to honor the late Iron Range Sen. David Tomassoni, by renaming U.S. Highway 169 between Marble and Mountain Iron the "Senator David J. Tomassoni Memorial Cross Range Expressway."

Spot on.
The CDC has released the most recent report on the US birthrate and it has dropped to 1.62. Why would women want to have children in the US right now?. - gop states are stripping women of the right of bodily autonomy. - women in Idaho have to be airlifted to other states to be

When you ask for @WoodfordReserve and your brother shows up with @TitosVodka — you adjust accordingly.

Always good to see the #LCCMR committee touring the state. I appreciate the hard work they all do. I also know @reprickhansen will be well caffeinated and ready for the day. We had our @cariboucoffee and a nice morning walk.

Rest in Peace, brother. Your absence will leave a void. Your leadership and inspiration were admirable.
Very sad to hear of the passing of a true brother to working class men and women - a fierce advocate for firefighters everywhere - and a good man - Rest In Peace Chris - my sincere condolences to the Parsons family, and to his St Paul Fire family.

So proud of you, Jacque!.
Hardest bill I've ever worked on - takes a lot of legislation to stand up an entire industry and undo some of the harm (bill includes expungement!) caused by its prohibition.

Rep. Howard is phenomenally talented lawmaker. I knew he was going places the first time we met. This is a great thread for those looking for session cliff notes. #mnleg.
Name your adjective on this session – historic, transformational, but to achieve what end? What is most important is that we used our legislative majorities to do the MOST good for the MOST people. Here are 100 (yes, 100!) ways we got it done for everyday Minnesotans. 🧵 #mnleg.

I couldn’t agree with you more. You had two phenomenal teachers. I’m glad to know you’re going to carry that legacy forward. Work hard, trust your gut, and fight for NE MN!.
I owe a lot to the Northland leaders that came before me. In particular, my two House running mates in District 3, Rep. @RobEcklund & Rep. Mary Murphy. Both are incredible legislators but more importantly they’re kind, genuine people that just want to do good #mnleg (1/3)
