President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is from Minnesota and facing criticism. We trace back his time in politics in Minnesota, becoming a Fox News host and now being thrust on politics’ biggest stage.

The rights of transgender people became a major talking point in the election. We talk to Outfront Minnesota’s director about how they are responding to another Trump presidency.

Is snow finally in the forecast? MPR chief meteorologist Paul Huttner shares a winter weather outlook.

Plus, two Minnesotans have been working to memorialize art made during the uprising after George Floyd’s murder. We talk to the author of a new book and the curator of an exhibit preserving that history.
