I just signed a bill to rename Minnesota’s community solar program after Speaker Melissa Hortman.

Melissa was a true champion of solar and I was proud to sign this in honor of my dear friend.

The Joy of Choosing Democracy The inspiring electoral upset in Hungary yesterday is great for Europe, good for Ukraine, bad for Russia, bad for Trump, and bad for the far-right over the entire globe.

Hungary's brave choice last night is great for Europe, good for Ukraine, bad for Russia, bad for Trumpism, and bad for the far-right over the entire globe—all of which, to me, is a victory for the forces of good and democracy in the world: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-joy-of...

Pope to Olympic Athletes: “It is possible to win without humiliating. One can lose without losing oneself. And this also applies beyond sport. It applies in social life, in politics, in relationships between peoples, because sport, if lived well, becomes a workshop for a reconciled humanity.”

Sincerely… NASA couldn’t have chosen a better team of people for this mission. They have been a bright light in the shadowy time here. It’s been a joy to watch.

Surreal to see proof of sunrise already in NZ, even as threats of the destruction of a whole civilization are bandied about by a drunk-driving madman.

"The lunar surface fills the frame in sharp detail, as seen during the Artemis II lunar flyby, while a distant Earth sets in the background. This image was captured at 6:41 p.m. EDT, on April 6, 2026, just three minutes before the Orion spacecraft and its crew went behind the Moon and lost contact with Earth for 40 minutes before emerging on the other side.
In this image, the dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime, while on its day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region. In the foreground, Ohm crater shows terraced edges and a relatively flat floor marked by central peaks — formed when the surface rebounded upward during the impact that created the crater.
