I wanted some tips on how to help in the most effective way. We know food banks can make money stretch farther, but there are items they likely won’t buy.

I didn’t know the food bank can break down big bulk food items (like flour bags), so that gives me more ways to help on my Costco runs!

Thanks to @governorwalz.mn.gov for coming on with us today. We had honest conversations about the election, the Democratic party, and the governor's political future. Don't forget to stay for the part when JT and Gov. Walz break out in song. Yes, really.

“We’re not doomed yet, but we’re running out of time that we need.” That’s what former Amb. John Bolton told us about our security risks in the latest episode of Grounded.
He's a staunch conservative, and also one of Trump’s loudest critics. Out now where you get your podcasts and Substack/YouTube!

We had the pleasure of chatting with @durbin.senate.gov this week, who recently announced he's retiring. We talked about a shift in the Senate that hands more power to leadership on both sides of the aisle instead of allowing for good old fashioned debate. Full episode live now!
