Gov as they discuss and process the continued violence and tragedies that have plagued Minneapolis and many other cities across the United States. We hear about the incredible moms of Minnesota organizing on the ground to protect families in need, the fabric of Native American culture that remains an integral part of Minnesota’s strong democracy, and Peggy’s historic 2026 Democratic run to become the next United States senator from MN.
