Horrific catastrophe in Nepal and Tibet. Great piece by NYTimes but in the first graf did you really have to say "the Chinese territory of Tibet"? Yeah, we get it. Beijing controls Tibet. Do you see how "the US territory of Puerto Rico" is obnoxious? https://t.co/rWp5THS5in

My heart goes out to all those affected by the devastating flooding in Nepal & Tibet. I want to convey my condolences to everyone who has lost loved ones & my sincere hope for the safety of everyone in the affected areas.

It pains me to say it but this gives me no choice but to pull for France to win the whole thing

Thank you Mbappé!

My daughter was born 10 months ago and required a brief transfer to a speciality hospital

The insurance co tells me I owe nothing: Months later the hospital sends me a bill for THOUSANDS. Insurance says hospitals just send it to see if you'll pay after a service is denied

@chamath @RoKhanna Yes, he saw up close what our current tax and antitrust policy produced and, like everyone else in the world, recoiled in horror.

Our colleges train Minnesota’s future workforce and fuel the state’s economy. Strong faculty = strong communities. A fair contract isn’t unreasonable—it’s essential.

Many countries don’t want US meat because it is chock full of antibiotics and a product of grotesque factory farming

Ask MAHA! The healthiest meat to buy at Costco is from New Zealand

#suncountry, what an overall terrible experience at the MSP airport and phone customer service! Avoid them if you can!

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

TEAMSTERS APPLAUD PROTECTING AMERICAN AUTOWORKERS FROM CHINA ACT
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters applaud the introduction by U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) of the Protecting American Autoworkers from China Act, new legislation that would raise tariffs on autos imported from China and deter Chinese automakers from trying to evade U.S. trade laws.

China currently leads the global market for electric vehicles and their component parts. The proposed legislation would prioritize the American auto industry and American workers, and would be an integral part of the conversation on the economic impacts of Chinese manufacturing, including ongoing efforts of Chinese state-owned enterprises to dominate domestic markets.

Regardless of origin, it is critical that inevitable growth in the electric vehicle industry promotes and protects American workers, including the thousands of carhaulers represented by the Teamsters who are increasingly asked to transport such vehicles.

Electric vehicles often weigh 30 percent more than gas-powered cars and trucks, creating serious safety concerns for Teamsters carhaulers. Heavier trailers are harder to stop, roll over more easily, and carry a higher risk for fatalities.

In addition to supporting worker-forward bills like the Protecting American Autoworkers from China Act, the Teamsters are fighting for legislation to ensure the number of electric vehicles sold in the U.S. does not result in unsafe increases to existing weight restrictions on automobile transporters.

At Xcel's 2023 year-end earnings call, the utility painted an optimistic picture of its ability to deliver strong returns for shareholders. That's in stark contrast to the arguments Xcel raised at the PUC last year when seeking yet another rate increase. https://t.co/yHUMiHgGA5

No, this is not a meme. It’s the Tibetan wild cat, the Lirgod (ལི་རྒོད།)!

It’s also not the “Chinese mountain cat” or the “Chinese desert cat,” as it’s often erroneously called. This pretty kitty is found not in China but only on the #Tibetan Plateau #AnimalsOfTibet

@MinnStateEdu Chancellor Olson, we'll see you there!
