Excellent and extensive journalism from @jaketapper for @CNN on Op Metro Surge, the Renee Good and Alex Pretti killings and more. Tremendous to have Tapper join us today on his reporting looking back at so much that happened 6 months ago in Minnesota. audacy.com/wccoradio/podcast…

I hope my kids turn out like the Hortman's. We shouldn't take the nutbag assassin's lunacy as fact. The murders were senseless and clearly had nothing to do with some grand conspiracy and suggesting otherwise is irresponsible of a leader. President Trump, take down the bs video.
A thoughtful and respectful request by Colin and Sophia Hortman - the children of Mark and Melissa Hortman. President Trump has a chance to do the right thing. All we can do is hope he does.

The freshman class at @UMNMorris is the largest in years, with wonderful students from across our state & beyond. I met with Chancellor Janet Schrunk Ericksen to discuss the importance of supporting public higher education that builds brighter futures for all Minnesotans.

This week, Governor Walz signed legislation to improve pedestrian safety on the Washington Avenue Bridge. University Services VP Alice Roberts-Davis represented the University of Minnesota at the ceremony. Thank you to the many advocates that supported this critical legislation.

We were thrilled to host Gov. Tim Walz and DEED Comm. Matt Varilek as we continue our partnership with the state to support Minnesota's economy and innovative thinkers. @UMNews demonstrates a breadth of knowledge in early-stage businesses and technology that serves Minnesotans.
Making Minnesota the best state to live means helping entrepreneurs put their ideas into action.   I joined small business owners in manufacturing, health care, and clean technology to announce $33 million to support hundreds of small businesses in Minnesota.

NEW: After each U.S. election, we match respondents from our nationally representative American Trends panel to official state voting records to verify who actually turned out to vote (or didn’t) to produce a comprehensive analysis of precisely who voted and how they voted. A few key points (🧵👇):

With Paul Bunyan's Axe showing University of Minnesota Gopher football victories over Wisconsin going back as far as our first victory in the first matchup in 1890. UMN has the axe right now because we won in 2024.
