Colonoscopy fasting just started and I'm STARVING!!!! Any hints on how to make it to tomorrow?

@ZaynabMMohamed @doronclark The dream team!

Welcome to the Minneapolis delegation Senator-elect @doronclark 💙

@KellyMorrisonMN So glad you are doing this work😎

Trump is trying to block funding for education. Trump's funding freeze would devastate MN programs like Upward Bound that prepare students for college success. I met with students and educators in my district today, including Kenny, to hear the real impact.

@ZoneIntel70349 @abc7chriscristi @BillMelugin_ Someone started the fire and high winds, low humidity and fuel loads did the rest

@abc7chriscristi @BillMelugin_ Nothing says climate change like a fire starting on a hiking trail

BREAKING: ATF arson investigators have descended on the area of suspicion, along a hiking trail at The Summit of the Pacific Palisades #PalisadesFire

@victorlledo @TherealPeteyT @RogerZenAF Would you say that spraying water, cutting line, back firing etc does not do much on a wildfire without a change in conditions.

@JeffForester1 @TherealPeteyT @RogerZenAF Did not intend to offend or come harshly. It's a question that frequently comes up on fire brigades training , is counterintuitive but forests usually can cope with a bit extra of sea salt that will be washed out with rains, but not so much with fire.

As someone who use to fight wildfires, the amount of sheer fucking idiocy and ridiculous takes over the last two days makes me want to start throwing cinder blocks at people I've read some of the most ridiculous shit from people who obviously don't know a fucking thing about fire

@victorlledo @TherealPeteyT @RogerZenAF Salting the earth" refers to the act of spreading salt on the land of a conquered city, essentially rendering it unable to grow crops the most famous example is the story of the Roman conquest of Carthage during the Third Punic War, where it is said the Romans "salted the earth"

@JeffForester1 @TherealPeteyT @RogerZenAF Wildfire wise, that's BS. In the Mediterranean coast they use sea water regularly for wildfires. No effect whatsoever. What happens is that there are not enough amphibian waterbombers

@TherealPeteyT @RogerZenAF Fire is a weather event, like rain. Water on a wildfire is like an umbrella - might keep you dry for a while, but not for a big rain or flood. Dumping seawater on a wildfire will only salt the earth, make it so nothing will grow after. Armies used to salt the earth

@RogerZenAF A question, even with unlimited water, there’s still no way to contain something like this? Right or wrong? I honestly don’t know, but would guess not.

@Morrison4MN That is amazing.

John and I had the honor of meeting President Biden last night when he invited the new members of Congress to the White House. We thanked him for his service to our country.🇺🇸

@TheDHTaylor No, I lived on the North Shore where they shot Home Alone. Lots of kids had bread bags over their socks.

Growing up a thousand years ago, does anybody else remember wearing bread bags over their socks to water proof their feet? My partner Janine says that’s only a Rez thing…

@Morrison4MN Just an amazing person in so many ways. Terrible loss.

We lost a great legislator, an incredible public servant, a champion of Minnesota and all its people, and an incredible human being today. Kari Dziedzic was one of a kind and I feel so lucky I got to serve with her. Rest in peace, Madam Majority Leader.

It is getting cold in MN - time for the annual ice tickness chart. Stay safe everyone.

Minnesota Department of Natural Resources offering Invasive Aquatic Plant Management grants - MLRE will work to increase these grants in the future - lake associations should not bear the burden of managing the public waters. goo.gl/alerts/8fJvNR #GoogleAlerts

Vote!

@luckyturner That is killer

@luciearl Switched to steel. Keeps me from trying those long shots I shouldn’t be taking in the first place

@Morrison4MN A Minnesota tradition - family voting. My other daughter is an election judge and took the picture.

Voted this morning with my daughters for their future and for the future of our remarkable country!🇺🇸
