Governor Walz has it right. I miss hearing his plain, common sense talk.

We deserve to live in the Barbie universe, not this stupid Trumptler universe. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Oh sweet Jesus the #F1 event in London…

Driving the new Opel Grandland plug in hybrid today. It’s embargoed so I can’t say much, but anything you’d like to know?
