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

He was 80 years old and just picking up his amps from the repair shop. Bob Wood plugged in his 1968 Epiphone Riviera to test them at a Nashville shop in 2014, played "Bésame Mucho," and a tech grabbed a camera. Back in 1968, he'd turned down Sam Phillips' offer to play sessions at Sun Records so he could raise his nine kids. Bob passed in 2022 at 88. He played to the end.

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!

The Minneapolis skyline looked quite different back in 1929 with the Foshay Tower being one of the few skyscrapers.

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!"

When disaster strikes, the Y is uniquely positioned to mobilize quickly, thanks to deep roots in communities. Consider supporting the YUSA Hurricane Helene Relief Fund to help. bit.ly/3zCoxpP @ymcawnc @Williams_YMCA @YMCABlueRidge & their communities are suffering.

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-pau…

The bus had been parked on a farm for years. Now the late senator’s son, Dave Wellstone, has big plans for the rolling artifact from his father’s statewide campaigns.

From crayons to notebooks, many classrooms, and the students who fill them, are in need of school supplies this time of year! In celebration of National Back to School Month, consider donating to support backpack & school supply programs at your local Y! bit.ly/40vig7c
