I visited Two Harbors and Brimson this morning to survey wildfire damage and thank the personnel leading response efforts - from local, federal, and DNR firefighters to emergency managers and volunteers.
Glad to see some rain and a community that has each other’s back.

I’m headed to the Moorhead area to talk about the infrastructure projects we’re funding to improve peoples’ lives.
That includes cutting the ribbon on a brand new fire station and finding ways to mitigate the effects of extreme weather like flooding.

Minnesota is a top state for health care, thanks in part to Mayo Clinic.
Now they’re building a $5 billion expansion in Rochester where the lifesaving health care innovations of the future are going to happen.
Inspiring to see the progress today.

I’m grateful the Shapiro family is safe. It’s despicable for this to happen as the Jewish community is celebrating Passover. Political violence has no place in our country.
Last night at about 2AM, my family and I woke up to bangs on the door from the Pennsylvania State Police after an arsonist set fire to the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg.

The Cedar Waxwing flock was back in the neighborhood this morning. I'm not sure where they're eating, but I sure enjoy seeing these unusual-looking birds.
