- I’ve ordered flags to fly at half-staff in honor and remembrance of Leslie Washington, who died while responding to the Bear Trap Fire. Minnesotans are eternally grateful for his sacrifice and we are wrapping our arms around his crew and loved ones.
- Trump is treating the justice department like a gang of thugs to sic on anyone he disagrees with - labor unions, democratic groups, political opponents.

- A big thank you to all of Minnesota’s poll workers and election judges working today’s primary. You make sure our elections continue to be safe, free, and fair.
