October 23, 2021 - The day faith and love came full circle for me.

The statements made by President Trump on Truth Social regarding the Pope were entirely inappropriate and disrespectful. They don’t contribute at all to a constructive conversation. It is the Pope’s prerogative to articulate Catholic doctrine and the principles that govern the moral life. In regard to the concrete application of those principles, people of good will can and do disagree. I would warmly recommend that serious Catholics within the Trump administration–Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance, Ambassador Brian Burch, and others–might meet with Vatican officials so that a real dialogue can take place. This is far preferable to the statements on social media. I am very grateful for the many ways that the Trump administration has reached out to Catholics and other people of faith. It has been a high honor to serve on the Religious Liberty Commission. No President in my lifetime has shown a greater dedication to defending our first liberty. All that said, I think the President owes the Pope an apology.

Faith > politics.

@GarretWATO Last three episodes brought the season home for us with its endearing charm.

@PGless Really?!? Did you feel that way the whole time or looking back at it in its entirety?

Shrinking really won me back. Beginning of the season was too jokey and watered down to me. I’m couldn’t be happier with it returning to form. It’s very good television.

@RepFischbach @MNFarmBureau @danglessing Great choice!

Thank you so much to Dan Glessing, President of @MNFarmBureau, for being my guest at the State of the Union!

If you don't want a future President declaring an emergency on a pet issue and unilaterally imposing unstructured tariffs (taxes) on imports, you should applaud this decision.

There are days you think are smart and then there are days you spend an hour figuring out how to properly collapse a stroller.

I learned this morning that the whole thing about taking extra precautions when changing a baby boy is absolutely true.

Week 37 of pregnancy, but it appears that baby boy is not sufficiently enticed by the child tax credit to make a 2025 debut. Eager for the adventures that await us in 2026! Happy New Year!

New Year’s Eve is a time we look back. They say one of the best ways to see God in our life is by looking in the rearview mirror. A blessed New Year to you! @thegnewsroom

You love to see it! #Gophers

We’re at the point in pregnancy where we are picking clothes from the same side of the closet (my side). Today’s comment from @MrsPGless after I get dressed: “Don’t get used to wearing my clothes now!”

Initially I was supposed to get my physical on Monday. After today, I’m thankful to myself for scheduling it well before Thanksgiving.

Somehow I always get stuck behind the one person on a flight who reclines their seat when no else around them is doing the same.

First time RCV in the Minneapolis mayor's race has produced a winner with a majority instead of a plurality.

So much better than the treadmill.
