On again with CNN on Saturday night - talked about Minnesotans showing up for each other in good times and in bad, also tried to raise a question that I’m been feeling. However you process the enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws, no data analyst would look at the problem and say: swarm the small state that borders Canada.

Grateful to be invited on CNN! Thanks and !

Shoutout to my cookbooks bringing the laptop we**am up to eye level for my 6:15 Central CNN guest spot Saturday night.

HOT GRAINZ - Thai Street Food in Saint Paul. Spicy, funky, Northern Thai specialities in Minnesota. Loved everything we tried. It’s been open since 2022 but is new to me!
🌶️ 🥵
The spice level here is no joke - we did 1/2 teaspoon on the ground chicken Pad KraPow and that’s the lowest level of spice, and we felt it. Great flavor, juicy ground chicken, just fantastic comfort food.
WHAT WE ORDERED:
* Ground Chicken Pad KraPow, 1/2 teaspoon spice
* Yum MaMuang mango salad, 1 teaspoon spice
* KaNom Jeen Nam Ngiaw rice vermicelli curry soup with ground pork, a pork rib and a chicken foot.

📌 Hot Grainz, 882 7th St W #12 Saint Paul
