Mary and I are terribly saddened by the passing of our old friend Norman Deschampe, whose inspirational leadership and vision helped guide the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa for so many years. https://t.co/y5mPGx64zy

At his core, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was an optimist who believed that even in the most difficult & troubling of times, our better angles continue the long journey toward justice. Let’s keep doing all we can to prove him correct. #MLK2019 https://t.co/EsUdxjJbnq

It was great watching my granddaughter, Sadie Bensen (front row, second from the left), help her team win the Championship Game in the 7th Grade Girls Invitational Basketball Tournament today. Sadie is the spit'n image of her mother, @kabensen, at that age.

Yesterday's funeral service for Tom Rukavina was a fitting tribute to the life of a man who loved his family & fought tirelessly for the good people of #Minnesota. Here I am with Tom's daughter, @IdaRukavina, who works as a Regional Outreach Director for US Senator @amyklobuchar.

My daughter @kabensen and I had a good day at the @MayoClinic in Rochester today as she continues treatment for Stage 4 non-smoking, non-small cell lung cancer. She remains strong, positive, and hopeful about the future. #katiewins

Tommy Rukavina embodied the heart and soul of Minnesota’s Iron Range. A brilliant, determined, and tireless champion for working families, he fought the good fights with an iron will, a twinkle in his eye, and a sense of humor that could never be matched.https://t.co/BvVzvGayUi

This federal grant is a monumental win for #Duluth & our entire region. The funding will improve safety & freight movement along the corridor - driving business, commerce, & tourism & helping create & support hundreds of good paying jobs. Thank you @USDOT!https://t.co/zCSaRe2tRJ

Spent the last couple days touring the district, talking to reporters & journalists about my time in Congress. And it's true, time goes by way too fast. Serving the good people of the 8th Congressional District for the last six years has been a great honor.https://t.co/CywqnMoqri

From the road in Virginia & Ely yesterday - catching up with @MesabiDailyNews Editor @JerryBurnes, Bill Hanna, & @TomCoombe8 & Nick Wognum at the @elyecho about my experiences in #Congress & my plans to spend more time with family & friends. I even ran into Ely @mayorchucknovak!

Fmr President George H.W. Bush lies in state at the @uscapitol. He spent a lifetime serving our Nation – in the US Navy, the CIA, and the Oval Office - with dignity, decency, and respect for others. His legacy of service is an extraordinary example for all of us. #Remembering41

Up in Ely today visiting with the great staff at the @elyecho - one of my favorite Northland newspapers!

[Ely Echo @elyecho]

Congressman Rick Nolan stopped by the Ely Echo on his farewell tour today. ⁦@USRepRickNolan⁩

[Fmr. US Rep. Rick Nolan @USRepRickNolan]

Had a wonderful interview with Senior Reporter @MarshallGenzer of @Marketplace today. We discussed a whole host of great topics including my excitement to return home and spend more time with family and friends. Stay tuned for the full interview.

[Fmr. US Rep. Rick Nolan @USRepRickNolan]

Far too many of the best ideas will be left on the cutting room floor until we change the system. And changing the system is exactly what the new House Democratic majority will do – so #Congress can get back to governing and doing the people’s business. https://t.co/FMXUfX8jY0

Happy Thanksgiving! Mary and I wish everyone a lovely holiday with family and friends!

Check out my editorial in this week’s @elyecho to learn how the stage is being set to advance key elements of our restore Democracy revolution in the next #Congress. #RestoreDemocracy #GoToWashingtonGoToWork @chairmang

It's #NationalApprenticeshipWeek! Thousands of Minnesotans are earning money while receiving on the job training. I’m working hard to provide states & their union & business partners w/ resources to expand apprenticeship programs that allow young workers to earn while they learn.

[Fmr. US Rep. Rick Nolan @USRepRickNolan]

Pension protection can’t wait. Congress must act to help millions of Americans facing an uncertain future as their retirement security is threatened through no fault of their own. That’s why we have to pass the Butch Lewis Act! #PassButchLewisAct #ProtectOurPensions #TheyEarnedIt

My daughter, @kabensen, a stage IV survivor of non-small-cell non-smoking lung cancer, & I made it our mission to get #Congress to increase funding for lung cancer research at the @NIH - because more research means more survivors. #beatlungcancer #LCAM @LABLifeBreath @Cancerblog
