My son -in-law texted me this incredible photo from his neighbor. So far, their house is 50 yards from the massive fire face threatening Westridge end of Madeville.

One of my daughter’s security cameras. (They bailed out to Palm Springs.)This is up the Westridge side of Mandeville on Bayliss. Everyone’s begging for trucks. Brooktree and Sunset is on fire no help

Next on my 10-county tour: Brown County!
I was at Westridge Place in New Ulm, a new childcare center helping families access high-quality, affordable care. Without reliable childcare, parents can't work, and local economies suffer. We must support local solutions like this.

Stop 6 on my rural county tour: Brown County!
I visited Westridge Place in New Ulm to learn about a child care pod model that cares for nearly 50 kids. Expanding access to child care is key to ensuring our economy works for all Minnesotans.

💯 agree. Aren’t most PRB thermal coal exports via Westridge port in BC? Feels like we should have a case for using our ports for exports to trade-friendly nations, not using their capacity to export coal for the Americans…

I absolutely love my commute but my friend Peter has a next-level commute, riding an electric gravel bike every day from the Westside to Studio City, with the crux on the Westridge trail. I would like to nominate Peter as having the most idyllic commute in LA. (photos from his Strava in last 2 days)
