Four years ago, I visited Dilworth to see for myself how the old fire station was putting safety for both our firefighters and the many communities they serve at risk.

In 2023 we got the money to make it happen, and yesterday we celebrated a brand new station.

White House plan would eliminate Head Start, make sweeping health cuts A leaked plan shows programs like Head Start, some mental health funding and efforts to prevent teen pregnancy could soon end.

Did you know MN's own Ben Orlin made 'Math With Bad Drawing' styled images for the 8 Mathematical Practices (thanks to @mctm_mn )? He also added texts to each.

@ kendrick lamar do one about schumer

We just got new data: Our trade partners bought nearly $27 billion in food and other products last year.

That’s a massive contribution to Minnesotans who work in our agriculture, mining, and manufacturing industries, and it’s why we can’t risk trade wars with our closest allies.

Trump’s tariffs aren’t just crippling our trade relationships, they’re hurting real farmers on the ground in Minnesota.

Me: I'm a math teacher.

Them: Oh, I hated math in school. Also, what's with this new way of teaching math? Why don't they just teach it the way we were taught?

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

I’m thinking about my teen daughters bank account compared to mine. I can estimate costs because I have more of a cushion—she needs to be exact when calculating costs so her debit card doesn’t get declined.
