The @Vikings lost their first game today against the Lions, 19-15. It’s clear that Murray and the offense aren’t getting the job done. Lot of work to do before next Monday night’s game against the Bills. And our thoughts and prayers are with Lions’ linebacker, Jack Campbell, who was carted off the field.
46 years ago Tom Davis and I opened for the @GratefulDead at Radio City. They did three sets, including a beautiful and rare acoustic set. Happy Halloween, everybody!
Hey Minnesotans! Let's get out the vote and elect @peggyflanagan our next U.S. Senator!! I've known Peggy for 20 years and she'll do Minnesota proud. The polls are open. Bring your friends and neighbors! DFL.org/gotv
Our @Vikings are now the only undefeated team in the NFL. Imagine if our offense were any good! Kyler Murray had one strong outing against the Saints. But the rest of his games have been fairly non-productive. But great fun to watch the Vikes defense! Yay Flores.
Trump’s diesel deal with Russia may save Americans pennies, but will cost Ukrainian civilians their lives.
The @Vikings 5-0! Nice to see the offense find its groove against the Saints. Murray’s mobility really showed today. Hopefully, we can have Addison, Jefferson, Darrisaw, and Mason all on the field together after the bye.
Celebrating Franni’s 75th birthday today. I’ve known her since she was 17 and we've built a beautiful life together. Here’s us and the kids sometime in the early 90s. Love you, honey! Happy birthday!
The @Vikings are 4-0 despite scoring just one touchdown in the last three games. Great D! Great kicker! Will Reichard kicked 5 field goals yesterday, extending his streak to 31. Next week, the Saints. Hopefully the offense can find its stride against New Orleans and we can make it 5-0 before an early bye week.
We’re officially a month away from the midterms. Now’s the time for Trump to get out around the country & campaign for Republicans in close races. I suggest he go to TX, OH, MI, GA, NC, SC, ME, IA, AK, KS, MS, & MN. I’m sure this will give voters the boost they need to make the right decision when they cast their ballots.
Today is our 51st wedding anniversary! Franni’s been my life partner from the time we met freshman year of college to this day. We’ve grown up together. She’s the best girlfriend, wife, mother, grandma, and friend. Thanks, honey. Here’s to another 51!
This is cruelty. Undocumented immigrants are spending months in detention facilities awaiting resolution of deportation cases. Before Trump 2, they could get a bond hearing to show they aren’t a danger or flight risk. Now thousands sit in horrible conditions when they could be at home. Pure Stephen Miller. Pure Trump.

Trump says he wants to meet soon with Kim Jong-un, reminding us that the two fell in love during his first term. What’s not to love? Kim has executed hundreds of dissidents and sent troops to die in Ukraine, encouraging them to commit suicide rather than be captured. But Trump HATES Mark Carney and said he was glad when Bob Mueller died. nytimes.com/2026/09/18/us/po…
Very strange 39-22 @Vikings victory over the Packers yesterday. We looked terrible until Carson Wentz threw three TDs in the 4th quarter, two to Jefferson. Skol!
My beautiful granddaughter, Avery, turned 10 yesterday. Here’s her in a tree! Happy Birthday, Avery!
Congratulations to @peggyflanagan for her victory in today's primary. Now the fight begins to defeat Michele Tafoya in November and take the fight to Trump & his rubber stamps in the U.S. Senate.
Good morning, Minnesotans. Today's the day to get out and vote for @peggyflanagan, a true progressive in the tradition of Humphrey, Mondale, & Wellstone, who will fight for Minnesotan families in the U.S. Senate!
Of course. Here’s what happened: Bondi wouldn’t indict Comey again. Then, she got fired (for all kinds of reasons). Blanche couldn’t indict right away (too obvious), so he waits a few months and says evidence came in - a year after Comey posted the photo. This will get thrown out.

Saddened to hear of Lindsay’s death though we so regularly disagreed. But he was a good friend and an amazingly effective Senator. Also, the funniest. One Christmas break I told him my family was going to Puerto Rico. He said, “Do two fundraisers. One for those who are pro-statehood and one for those who are against it. They never talk to each other.”
