A look at their legacy and how DFL state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife — who were injured in the attack — are recovering.

We'll also talk another lawmaker who was targeted that night, state Rep. Kristin Bahner, on how she’s grappling with safety and running for office.

Then, the man who allegedly carried out the attacks pleaded guilty Thursday morning. We’ll have the latest on the case.

And we'll talk to two experts studying an uptick in political violence.

Plus, the Hortmans’ children share one of their parents’ favorite songs.

And we'll meet some puppies who are training to be service dogs in the Hortmans’ honor.

Gilbert started out as a service dog in training through Helping Paws, the Eden Prairie nonprofit that trains assistance dogs for people with physical disabilities, veterans and first responders living with PTSD. But Gilbert was ultimately deemed a little too friendly for the job, and the Hortmans adopted him as their own.

In the months following their deaths, thousands of people donated to Helping Paws in their memory. That support helped create the Hortman Heroes Fund, which will train future service dogs for veterans and first responders with PTSD.

MPR News host Nina Moini got a tour of the Helping Paws facility from executive director Alyssa Golob.

Authorities say they found writings by the gunman that included the names of dozens of politicians. They also say that between the attacks on the Hoffmans and Hortmans, he went to the homes of two other DFL lawmakers. One of them is Maple Grove and Osseo Rep. Kristin Bahner.

A year later, like Sen. John Hoffman, she has decided to run for reelection, despite the terrifying events of last summer. Minnesota Now host Nina Moini spoke with Rep. Bahner about her decision to run again, in part, to carry on the legacy of her late colleague.

Minnesota Now host Nina Moini spoke again with two of those experts a year after the attacks on how this uptick in political violence has continued to unfold.

Jillian Peterson is a professor at Hamline University and executive director of the Violence Prevention Project Research Center.

Larry Jacobs is a political science professor at the University of Minnesota and founder of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance.

The violent acts shook the state and the country. Thursday on Minnesota Now, we spent the hour looking at how people are keeping Melissa Hortman and her family’s legacy alive – and how the attack is affecting political life.

Our politics correspondent Dana Ferguson covered Hortman in the Minnesota Legislature and has been following the assassination, as well as steps at the Capitol to mitigate future incidents of political violence. She joined to share more about what’s unfolded over the last year.

The governor's truth council has begun collecting stories about how people were impacted by immigration enforcement this winter.

Chief Meteorologist Ben Cathey assessed the storm damage from Tuesday night and gave details on another round in the forecast.

And a new study has found that mosquitoes could learn to associate the smell of bug spray with dinner.

Plus, a new book chronicles a hub of LGBTQ activism in Duluth and Superior in the 1980s.

The Minnesota Music Minute was “Lime Habit” by Poliça and “Give it My All” by Ashley Selnes was the Song of the Day.

That means it's that time of year where you may be lathering up in your bug spray when you're outside. DEET is most commonly used to repel mosquitoes in bug spray, but new research has found that mosquitoes could learn to associate DEET with dinner.

Joining Minnesota Now is one of the authors of the research, Clément Vinauger, who is an associate professor of biochemistry at Virginia Tech.

"Remember the Main: The Gay Bar That Started a Movement in the Northland” tells the story of Bob Jansen, owner of the Main Club, a gay bar that opened in the 1980s.

Author Meg Gorzycki told MPR News host Nina Moini the bar served as a refuge and organizing hub for LGBTQ+ people in northern Minnesota during a time when being openly gay often came with significant risk.

Jennifer Prestholdt is vice president of the council and deputy executive director of the Minneapolis-based group The Advocates for Human Rights. She talked with MPR News host Nina Moini about the work that lies ahead for the council, which she called “the first public-centered, large-scale, truth-telling process in the United States.”

City officials say there was nearly $700 million dollars in damage between December 2025 through April 2026. That total includes revenue businesses lost, wages workers lost and money the city spent responding to the surge.

MPR News reporter Estelle Timar-Wilcox joined MPR News host Nina Moini with details from a briefing on the report.

We'll go to Newark, New Jersey and talk to a reporter who's covering protests outside Delaney Hall, the immigration detention center that resemble scenes in Minnesota over the winter.

Fridley Public Schools' superintendent has been outspoken about the impacts of the surge of federal agents on students. We'll talk to her on the first day of summer.

We'll learn about something called Sandbox Classroom, where St. Paul high school seniors can learn how to operate heavy equipment.

Our Minnesota Music Minute was “I Can’t Fix Your Life” by Mid Dream, and our Song of the Day was “Cover Crop” by Ironstill.

The district's new Sandbox Classroom opened in May, giving seniors hands-on experience operating heavy equipment through a partnership with the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 49. School leaders say it is the first program of its kind in the Twin Cities, creating a direct pathway from high school into construction and operating engineer careers.

Dusty Thune teaches the class for Saint Paul Public Schools and spoke with MPR News host Nina Moini about it.

On May 22, hundreds of immigrants inside the Delaney Hall detention center began what advocates call a hunger and labor strike.

Protesters have gathered outside the facility, and at times turned into clashes with federal agents.

Arya Sundaram has been reporting on the situation at the Delaney Hall ICE detention center for Gothamist, a nonprofit newsroom by WNYC. She joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk more about it.

The shootings led to a 43-hour statewide manhunt for the suspect, Vance Boelter, who is currently in federal custody awaiting potential trial.

Minnesota Star Tribune reporter Jeff Day wrote the story and joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about it.

Joining Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to reflect on this school year and look at the recovery ahead for students and staff is Fridley Schools Superintendent Brenda Lewis.

A group of parents affected by the Annunciation Church and School shooting spent the legislative session advocating for more gun control measures. These proposals didn't pass but they say they're celebrating the small wins.

And there's been several shifts to immigration policy in the last month. We'll talk to two people who have been supporting people through these shifts.

Plus, how the organization River Keepers are tending to the Red River in Fargo-Moorhead.

Our Minnesota Music Minute was “Little Time” by Emily Bjorke and our Song of the Day was “Out of Hand” by The Dalmatian Club.

The Lynx are just at the beginning of their season. And they’ve won six of their last seven games by double digits.

Minnesota Now sports contributors Wally Langfellow and Eric Nelson joined Minnesota Now with the latest sports headlines.

Off to its side is a bridge that goes from Fargo to Moorhead over the Red River. The two communities are linked by the river — and its risk of flooding.

Recently, the Minnesota legislature approved $10 million for flood mitigation infrastructure. And the area will soon have a massive diversion project built to send floodwaters away from the two cities. But flooding aside, a local group is working to connect people with the river in other ways.

Christine Holland is CEO of the Fargo-Moorhead-based group River Keepers. Recently, she helped Minnesota Now learn more about the Red River from the water. Minnesota Now host Nina Moini and producer Alanna Elder climbed into kayaks and paddled out from under the bridge.

A merger between California-based Sutter Health and Allina Health is also in progress.

Minnesota’s Attorney General has the power to review health mergers in the state and potentially sue to stop them, under a 2023 law. Attorney General Keith Ellison is currently running for reelection. His office is hosting Monday’s public forum in Robbinsdale.

He joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to talk about his office’s role in healthcare mergers.

On Friday, a federal judge ruled the Trump administration must resume processing asylum applications from 39 countries. The administration also sought to make major changes to the green card application process.

That’s all happening with Operation PARRIS in the background, which is an effort to re-vet the applications of thousands of refugees in Minnesota for potential fraud or other crimes. That launched this past winter.

Minnesota Now’s next two guests have been supporting people who have been navigating all of these shifts. Corleen Smith is immigration services director at the International Institute of Minnesota and Michelle Drake is a lawyer with Berger Montague.

We talked to Deb about what’s kept her in the Fargo-Moorhead area after all these years and how she’s found new ways to make it a more vibrant place.

She also performed an original song called “Leaves” and a cover of “The Hunter” with her husband Mike on the keyboard for our live Minnesota Now show at the Moorhead Public Library.

Thomas and her family produce vegetables, flowers, grains, eggs and seeds on Doubting Thomas farms near Moorhead. They sell to regional grocers, bakeries, and breweries as well as award-winning restaurants around the country.

The farm also makes space for other producers raising honeybees, grazing cattle and harvesting herbs and Thomas mentors other women in agriculture. She joined MPR News host Nina Moini in front of a live audience at the Moorhead Public Library to talk about her journey into farming and her community-centered approach to agriculture.

Adde is also leading an ambitious effort to create a cultural mall in downtown Moorhead, a project she hopes will become a hub for immigrant-owned businesses and community gathering.

She talked to MPR News host Nina Moini in front of an audience at the Moorhead Public Library about her own experience coming to the United States more than 20 years ago. At that time, she learned that her nursing credentials did not transfer to the professional world in the Red River Valley. That experience sparked her passion to help others settle in the region.

Moorhead Mayor Shelly Carlson joined the program in front of a live audience to talk about how the city is looking to distinguish itself and to become a destination.

MPR News host Nina Moini talked with community leaders from the Fargo-Moorhead area:

Shelly Carlson, Mayor of Moorhead.

Fowzia Adde, an immigrant advocate who is helping newcomers navigate life in the area.

Noreen Thomas, a farmer who’s planting seeds on the land and in her community.

Deb Jenkins, a musician who has witnessed the region evolve and contributed to its vibrancy over the last five decades.

Plus, Tadeo Ruiz-Sandoval and Harshawn Ratanpal shared reporting from Fargo-Moorhead and asked audience members for their takes on life in the region.

Millions of people in Somalia are facing hunger as the country faces what experts have called its worst drought year on record. A Minnesota-based organization is working to provide relief.

And a St. Paul theater where renowned playwright August Wilson began his career is putting on one of his earliest works.

Plus, Minnesota was once covered by tall grass, but few such prairies remain. Minnesota Now took a visit to the Bluestem Prairie in the Fargo-Moorhead area to learn what it takes to preserve this landscape.

While many of his plays are set in Pittsburgh, Wilson began his career as a playwright at Penumbra Theatre in St. Paul. One of his earlier plays in the cycle, "Joe Turner's Come and Gone," is running at Penumbra through June 21.

MPR News arts reporter Jacob Aloi spoke with director of the production and Penumbra founder Lou Bellamy about the play and Wilson's legacy in Minnesota.

We made a series of audio postcards from notable roadside attractions, including a piece of one of Minnesota's oldest and most recognizable landscapes: tallgrass prairie.

The Nature Conservancy recently acquired nearly 2,000 acres of prairieland to protect in Clay County. Their goal is to conserve the plants and create habitat for prairie chickens and pollinators. The site is one of just a few slivers of prairie in a state that used to be covered in tallgrass.

Nearby is another of those slivers: the Bluestem Prairie Scientific and Natural Area, which is also protected by the Nature Conservancy. Liz Beery, the group’s associate director of grasslands, joined MPR News host Nina Moini for a walk there.

It’s a result of several rainy seasons that did not yield much water and it follows years of drought and flooding extremes in the region.

These climate events reverberate in Minnesota, which is home to the largest Somali population in the U.S. as well as several groups that provide aid to east Africa.

Asiya Mohamed, deputy director of American Relief Agency for the Horn of Africa, joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about conditions in Somalia and efforts to provide relief.

For more about how the analysis reached those numbers, MPR News host Nina Moini talked with the organization’s research director Aaron Rosenthal.

Trung Pham of Pham’s Deli at the Midtown Global Market in South Minneapolis shared his experience as a business owner with Minnesota Now.

Researchers are tracking the use of crowd-control weapons used in protests against immigration actions around the country, including during the federal surge in Minnesota this winter. We'll find out what they've learned.

Many young adults transitioning out of foster care are losing their federal food benefits. We'll find out how they're responding.

We'll learn how a north Minneapolis high school boosted graduation rates.

We'll take a tour through a troll community in Detroit Lakes.

Our Minnesota Music Minute was “Worthy of the Stone” by Secret Rivers.

The Moorhead show will air Thursday, and each day until then, we will make a stop along the way, with audio postcards from notable roadside attractions.

This time, we visit Barefoot Frida, an enormous wooden troll that lives in the Ortenstone Gardens and Sculpture Park in Detroit Lakes. We were guided by Amy Stearns, executive director of Project 412, who says the trolls are part of a larger effort to make Detroit Lakes a more vibrant place.

Chemical irritants and projectiles fall into a category called crowd control weapons or less lethal weapons. They come in a variety of products with different mechanisms, and the researchers found that some law enforcement have used them in ways that are especially dangerous to the health and safety of protesters, journalists and passersby.

Scott Reynhout worked on the project with Physicians for Human Rights, and he joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about it.

At North High School in Minneapolis, Friday's commencement comes with another reason to celebrate. Just a few years ago, the school's graduation rate lagged more than 20 points behind the state average. Today, according to Minneapolis Public Schools, North is on track to meet or may even exceed state benchmarks. It’s a dramatic turnaround that school leaders say reflects years of investment in students and staff. North High School’s principal, Mauri Friestleben, talked to MPR News host Nina Moini about the change.

The removal came from a state Department of Human Services process to revalidate 5,000 providers by May 31. DHS was required to do so through an agreement between the state and the federal government’s Center for Medicaid Services, which was part of the Trump Administration’s campaign to address fraud in Minnesota.

Jordan Hansen, CEO of YourPath, an addiction recovery services provider and Cari McCann, executive director of Great River Homes, which provides care to individuals with disabilities, say their organizations were kicked off of the Medicaid programs. They joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about what comes next.

Over the past year Minnesota lost more than 5,000 jobs in leisure and hospitality – sectors that tend to hire youth. In March, the teen unemployment rate was 13.2 percent, nearly double what it was in March 2025, according to data from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development.

The higher unemployment rate could be a return to what was typical before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Oriane Casale, assistant director of DEED’s Labor Market Information Office. Casale joined Minnesota Now along with Billie Jo Greene, who helps teens find jobs as team leader of the Rural Minnesota Concentrated Employment Program in Bemidji.

Plus, six years after George Floyd's murder, a look at construction at George Floyd Square.

And we learned about an effort working to provide music education in Duluth and Haiti.

It happened in broad daylight while she sat in her minivan in the middle of crossfire she had nothing to do with. Bunny Beeks joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini in the studio to reflect on the time that has passed since her mother’s death and the work that remains.

Chris Wells is chair of the Environmental Studies department at Macalester College. Like most other educators over the past few years, he’s constantly navigating his students' relationships with AI and the classroom. He admits like most educators, he’s still figuring it out. He writes a newsletter about what AI means for college teaching called Teaching Upside Down.

Wells joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about the shifts he’s noticed in the classroom, how he’s changed assignments with AI in mind and how he’s rethinking what getting an education means when generative AI can accomplish so much.

Several proposals were introduced, including legislation to establish a $100 million relief fund for businesses that may have lost revenue or faced other difficulties due to the surge. Gov. Tim Walz also put forth a $10 million relief package in February.

This weekend, a herd of bison will be released in the St. Croix River Valley. We learned how the animal is crucial to habitat preservation.

The herd sticks around for the summer and helps create a healthy habitat. Belwin Conservancy naturalist Lynette Anderson joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about the incoming bison herd.

The bill is the latest move by states and tribal nations that want to reign in these platforms. If what’s happened elsewhere in the country is any guide, the bill will likely attract lawsuits. A federal agency has sued five states for their attempts to regulate prediction markets. The platforms themselves have also filed lawsuits.

Todd Phillips has been surveying this legal landscape. He’s an assistant professor of law at Georgia State University, where he specializes on financial regulation. He joined MPR News host Nina Moini to explain.

But data shows the number of Minnesotans buying electric dropped by 50 percent in the last few months of 2025.
