Minnesota needs more options for more homes for more people, especially in walkable, bikable, communities that can be well served by transit. That's why we're strong supporters of the #YesToHomes bill package. More: www.startribune.com/a-bipartisan...

There are a lot of important reasons to bike - health, climate, financial, etc. But at the end of the day, it's just really fun to be able to smile and say hi to my friends & neighbors when we happen to pass each other in the bikelane.

The Trump administration is removing critical data from government websites, leaving us in the dark about everything from viruses to whether water is safe to drink. We need to act. Call Congress at 202-224-3121 and tell them to use their oversight powers to ensure this information remains public.

"These are real human beings." Trump’s ban on climate and clean energy spending is delaying home repairs and factory construction and forcing companies to furlough workers, especially in red states. In #TrumpsAmerica, wealthy Big Oil and Big Tech CEOs prosper while the rest of us pay the price.
