In these unsettling times, many of us feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to make a difference. Today, we have a chance to show up and stand together.

We do not support ICE in our communities, and we stand in solidarity with those resisting its presence in Minnesota and beyond.

I descend from a distinguished line of ancestors who fought for constitutional freedoms, going back to George Washington’s battle at Valley Forge, the American Revolution, WWII, and the Vietnam War.

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are pure gold. I have one. Do you? Not only do the earnings accumulate tax free, but also the withdrawals are tax free.

While consistency and peace of mind are great, sticking with the same financial institution may come at...
