## Resource

Minnesota’s wildfires, now burning over 800 acres in just five days, have prompted Governor Tim Walz to activate the National Guard and declare a state of emergency as high temperatures fuel the spread. First responders are on the front lines, while Senator Mitch McConnell’s hospitalization after a fall serves as a sobering reminder of health risks even for public figures. Officials remain vigilant as the situation evolves. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
