•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States.
🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland.
•This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters.
•The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks.
•This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up.
•Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. https://t.co/JhNAR6Za2O
Lt. Ryan Kelly of the @MinneapolisPD received the **Meritorious Service Award** for his heroic actions during the tragic mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church on August 27, 2025.
As the first officer on scene, he entered the sanctuary without hesitation, directed terrified children and adults to safety, set up an immediate triage area, and provided life-saving care to 28 gunshot and shrapnel victims using his combat medic and paramedic experience.
In his own words:
“Kids walked out of chaos to help… I just started yelling as loud as I could, ‘Come to me.’ These kids — they’re heroes ’cause they all stood up in unison and started picking up injured kids…”
We proudly honor his bravery, leadership, and selfless service. @GLFOP

The Minnesota High School State Championship between Moorhead & Minnetonka had a larger attendance (19,648) than ANY NHL game on Saturday (19,070).
This truly is my favorite stat of every hockey season. Such a testament to the fandom and support of the MN hockey community
