President Donald Trump has suspended refugee resettlement. We'll talk to one of five resettlement agencies in the state along with a nonprofit helping Afghan refugees about how their work is being impacted and how they're responding.

On his first day in office President Donald Trump signed an executive order recognizing only two sexes: male and female. We talked with a gender rights nonprofit about what this could mean.

A zoning bill meant to create more affordable housing failed in the state legislature last year, but not before it gained bipartisan momentum. We talked with two of its authors about their approach this time around.

Our Minnesota Music Minute was “Oil Light” by Yonder and our Song of the Day was “Starless Summer Sky” by Marshall Crenshaw.
