Attention small businesses... beginning today, @mndeed is taking applications for relief grants to businesses affected by COVID-19. More than $60 million in grant funding is available for small businesses across Minnesota. Learn more & apply here: https://t.co/gCQdW9JXdn

Today, the MN Senate passed a resolution ending @GovTimWalz's emergency powers moving forward. The legislature can work together with the governor to do the right thing. COVID is not over, but we are ready and prepared. Let's move Minnesota forward!

[Karin Housley @KarinHousley]

For 3+ months, seniors in long-term care have been on lockdown while COVID ravaged many of their facilities. But where's the concern for them?

@GovTimWalz & his administration are failing Minnesota seniors. And I'm going to say it again & again & again until something changes.

...and four other lives are ruined forever because of 15 minutes of stupidity and whatever else made what they did seem ok. Even I feel like less of a person because of who I am and what I haven’t done. Folks we have to do better. Dear Lord show us the way.

[David Senjem @DSenjem]

So the last 2 months Ive walked the streets of St Paul nightly getting exercise. I’ve have gotten to know in a small way many of the folks who make the streets their home. What I see is often sad. Mental illness, apparent drug abuse, despondency. It is with this backdrop....

[David Senjem @DSenjem]

...and w/o knowing precise circumstances of what happened in Minneapolis last night, that I nevertheless believe what I saw on FB was among the most disgustingly repulsive acts of humankind I’ve witnessed. Mr Floyd didn’t deserve to be choked to death. His life is lost forever...

[David Senjem @DSenjem]

I am pleased to announce our $1.4 billion Senate bonding bill, which focuses on infrastructure, jobs & economic growth. It includes funding for an interchange at Hwy 14/CR104 in Olmsted Co, a grant to @flyrst, Oronoco wastewater infrastructure & more https://t.co/tGD1sH8jTm

I am a proud Minnesotan. @MayoClinic to the rescue... again! We are so grateful.

Mayo says it has capacity to deliver testing needed to reopen the economy https://t.co/9mD9t2pFaY

[Minnesota Senate Republicans @mnsrc]

Looks like Majority Leader @_RyanWinkler didn’t like our message today on Insulin. “Character is what you do (when you think) no one is watching." #mnleg #Insulin4All

[David Senjem @DSenjem]

Mayo is the best in the nation! This is excellent news. Thank you @MayoClinic

[Tim Nelson @timnelson_mpr]

NOW: @mnhealth says Mayo Clinic has helped clear up the backlog of #COVID19 lab testing, at one time nearly 2k samples. MDH expects to be able to keep up with samples going forward.

[David Senjem @DSenjem]

Mayo Clinic can now run up to 4,000 #coronavirus tests a day from Rochester and beyond. Great news! @MayoClinic https://t.co/XbfjbF3bvm

[David Senjem @DSenjem]

Been a long time but I did a 5k along the river today. Not easy by any means but going to work at it and get better. Want to do a couple races this summer 🏃

[David Senjem @DSenjem]

Nobody, I think all would agree, should have to go without a lifesaving medication such as insulin. Great to see this pass with unanimous support today. https://t.co/dFLOA4ehjL

[Chelsey Baumbach @ChelsBaumbach]

Thanks @DSenjem for meeting with us this morning! We appreciate our conversation about fully funding schools and getting more support for our paras #WeAreTriton #InspireExcellence

[WSU Faculty Assoc @WSU_FA]

Winona State faculty were at lobby days educating legislators about the value of public higher education and advocating for the investments that will keep our campuses strong! Thank you @jeremyrmiller @GenePelowski @RepPoppe @DSenjem!

[MN Anesthesiologists @MSAphysicians]

Thank you ⁦Senator ⁦@DSenjem⁩ for meeting with Physician Anesthesiologists today! #mnleg #MSAattheCapitol

[David Senjem @DSenjem]

Was glad to speak with @ACEC_National during their day at the Capitol. These are the folks designing our highways, bridges, transit, stadiums, high-rises, schools, hospitals & more. They're advocating for a robust infrastructure package. Thanks for the great meeting! #mnleg

[David Senjem @DSenjem]

This week my #CleanEnergyFirst bill passed its first committee with bipartisan support. This is not a mandate, but instead will make Minnesota a true leader in energy innovation & job creation for decades to come. It's the future! https://t.co/sRFoIDULMV

[Congressman Jim Hagedorn @RepHagedorn]

Thanks to @NCSRCCarpenters for showing us their first-class training facilities in Rochester. We discussed the need to keep our economy growing, expand the skilled workforce and protect excellent healthcare benefits for trade workers. Thanks to @DSenjem for accompanying me. #MN01
