Description:

President Trump’s nominee to replace Kristi Noem as secretary of Homeland Security says he regrets comments he made about Alex Pretti after Pretti was fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis in January. In the immediate wake of that shooting, Oklahoma Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin had called Pretti a deranged individual who had come to cause, “max damage.”


And a bill to ban non-disclosure agreements around proposed data centers passed a state senate committee yesterday with bipartisan support.


Those stories and more in the evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.
