I’ve been saying for over two decades there is no better bargain in the area of national defense than a proactive response to the threat of H5N1.

Finally, someone was willing to do it…and now, of course, the GOP wants to kill it.

We’re apparently cutting 2/3 of our capacity, so pick one of those three.

News Analysis: The GOP won the last election in no small part because of its new appeal with working-class voters. But the economic agenda Republicans are now putting together would by and large help rich Americans, all while teeing up cuts to programs that provide health care and food to the poor.

Our next president will have to be technologically competent, at least , in order for us to sustain our place in the world.

This will become increasingly obvious over the next 4 years as AI gets more powerful

This isn’t necessarily bad. Truly. Done right, we will be a better, more equal society

We’re focused on feeding our kids.

Investing in our schools.

Regardless of the chaos unfolding in Washington, we’re making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.
