If your amphitheater bass is reverberating through my house from 7+ miles away, it’s way too loud. The residents of @bloomington_mn and surrounding communities deserve far better than this. (I swear, I’m fun. It’s just too loud.) cc: @TRBusse @MysticLakeAmp @LiveNation @BPD_MN

I’d like to thank @MnDOT for appearing out of nowhere on 494 this afternoon & spontaneously fixing my flat tire faster than a @NASCAR pit crew. I have no idea how he knew I was there, but the guy could not have been nicer and got me on my way in minutes. Our tax dollars at work!

There will certainly be more difficult days ahead. But as a father, I MUST hold firmly to a stubborn faith that our future can still be brighter, safer, and freer.

Because to live in a community this GOOD means that anything — and everything — is possible, so long as we don’t lose sight of the clear & indisputable difference between what’s morally right & abhorrently wrong. I’m confident the people of this strong & special state never will.

I would like to thank the @Twins and @MLB for finally delivering an affordable, accessible streaming service for fans. For the first time since the Twins left @YouTubeTV in 2021, we’re all hooked up with #TwinsTV and ready to enjoy the season!
