Honoring all #veterans today, but especially thankful and proud of my father, Dexter Larson, and his service to #America in #WWII and the #KoreanWar —he’s a tough old sailor still shoveling snow up in #Duluth, #Minnesota! @DeptVetAffairs @USNavy @amyklobuchar #GreatestGeneration

IF You get a chance.. no matter what city you are in .. go to the Symphony in your town .. it will change your life

It’s ⁦@springsteen⁩ introducing the first ever live performance of “Streets of Minneapolis” at his first ever performance ⁦@FirstAvenue⁩ at Concert for Solidarity and Resistance organized by Tom Morello. Of course, the Boss’ live debut of the song was in Minneapolis

A beautiful moment at the “ICE Out of Minnesota” service at Temple Israel this morning: faith leaders singing a “This Little Light of Mine.” We must continue to share our light during these dark times.

Met the legendary Willie Nelson tonight at Farm Aid. For 40 years, he has championed family farmers and tirelessly advocated for our rural communities. And he’s still going strong at 92!

Beatle boys and their mums, Julia Lennon, Mary McCartney, Louise Harrison and Elsie Starkie. Happy Mother's Day!

A sweet ending to my 19-county rural tour — I had a great slice of strawberry-rhubarb pie during my stop in Braham, which is known as the "Homemade Pie Capital of Minnesota!"

So many of us remember Paul Wellstone’s green bus, a symbol of his and Sheila's dedication and passion for serving the people of Minnesota. It’s incredible to see his son Dave put it on the road to repair, and I can’t wait to see it back in action. startribune.com/late-sen-paul-…

A Special Day at Camp Star! Today, Hillsborough YMCA’s Camp Star welcomed @AndrewZwicker and Assemblyman Roy Freiman (D-16). They toured our camp program and our newly renovated facility, and also received heartfelt notes from our campers.
