When George W. Bush visited Mankato in 2004, his campaign barred a group of students who had been identified as democrats from attending. That ticked off the local high school civics teacher and motivated him to run for Congress two years later. You know him today as @GovTimWalz .

It would have been an honor just to have @arishapiro speak at the @WestminsterTHF today. But then he signed his new book for me with the best dedication I’ve ever received. I’m terribly grateful, and very tempted to put this in my professional bio. ☺️😻

Today, @StribRoper and I got a Honeycrisp apple tree for a baby shower gift and took it across the Ford bridge on his bike. #OnlyinMN
