Sadly, Minnesota is losing Annie's Parlour and Palmers so we take a look at some of the reasonable aspects of this news. Then we stick with the food angle and chat with our friend Andrew Zimmern for DeRusha Eats about some of these big closings in Minnesota and also previews this weekend's festivities at Taste of Minnesota!

What the “Big. Beautiful Bill” means for you and this country going forward. Saint Paul banning guns at the Minnesota state capitol building but does it really make us feel safer - we talk to Rob Doar about what banning guns at the State Capitol would mean for the safety of our leaders in Minnesota. Also, Jason recaps his brave venture to Costco on this July 3rd!

Two huge losses for the Twin Cities area with Palmers and Annie's Parlour are both closing its doors this year and we ask the simple question - why? Is it because of safety or the 2023 “its too dangerous” take or is it simply your spending or lack there of - we break it down!

No better food expert (besides Jason) to break down some of the big closings in Minnesota and also preview the big weekend at the Taste of Minnesota for today's DeRusha Eats!

President Donald Trump's mega tax and spending bill has passed before its Friday deadline. Minnesota's counties may be affected as it would cut funding to the Medicaid and food assistance programs they run. We'll talk to a county commissioner about the impact. As we gear up for the Fourth of July, a Minnesota fireworks manufacturer will talk us through the difficulties the fireworks industry is facing.In a new Minnesota Now and Then, we'll listen back to a 1976 MPR News broadcast about how Minnesotans celebrated the country's 200th birthday. And about 20 trucks are gearing up for the first ever Native American Food Truck festival in St. Paul this weekend. We'll hear about the variety of Indigenous foods they are celebrating.Our Minnesota Music Minute was 'In the Dark' by Cornbread Harris and our Song of the Day was 'Shapeless' by Dante DeGrazia.

This Saturday, about 20 Native American-owned food trucks will be parked at Harriet Island Regional Park on the Mississippi River for a Native American food truck festival. Organizers say the event is the first of its kind in Minnesota.The co-owner of Trickster Tacos and the founder of the festival, Mariah Grant, joined Minnesota Now to talk about what to expect.

If you have plans to a see a fireworks show this weekend, it's likely you'll see the work of RES Pyro. It's a pyrotechnics company out of Belle Plaine that puts on fireworks displays across Minnesota and also manufactures pyrotechnics for shows internationally. Joining Minnesota Now with an inside look at the fireworks industry is the president and CEO of RES Pyro, Will Wallus.

Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives are on track to pass the big tax and spending bill by their deadline of July 4. The bill extends tax breaks from President Donald Trump's first term and eliminates taxes on tips. It also cuts federal funding for Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. In Minnesota and 10 other states, county governments manage these programs. St. Louis County estimates that the cost shift to St. Louis County will be more than $10 million for SNAP and $6.4 million for Medicaid.St. Louis County Board of Commissioners Chair Annie Harala joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to talk about the impact.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is a leading voice in modern faith leadership and the first woman elected to serve as Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, a role she's held since 2011. While the job isn't always glamorous, she says, the sacred moments in the public eye matter deeply—and she treats them with care. Bishop Budde gained national attention for boldly speaking out against the Trump administration, including condemning the 2020 photo-op at St. John's Episcopal Church and, more recently, offering a prayer for LGBTQ+ justice with President Trump and Vice President Vance seated before her. Her calm, courageous leadership has made her one of the most trusted voices in public faith today. In this conversation with Jen, Bishop Budde shares her journey from a small Minnesota congregation to the national stage—and how she finds the courage to speak truth to power and stand with the marginalized, even when the cost is high. Thought-provoking Quotes: “I think, in some ways, vocations choose you as much as you choose them.” – Mariann Edgar Budde “It's not as if the world stopped on January 21st. So much is happening every single day and there are consequences to the decisions being made.” – Mariann Edgar Budde “I wouldn't have chosen the way they're going, but a lot is being dismantled right now and we've got to be there to help rebuild.”  – Mariann Edgar Budde Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Raygun: Bishop Budde Fan Club T-Shirt - https://www.raygunsite.com/products/bishop-budde-fan-club Receiving Jesus: The Way of Love by Mariann Edgar Budde - https://amzn.to/45GO5jh How We Learn to Be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith by Mariann Edgar Budde - https://amzn.to/4kbZtan Sermon by The Right Rev.

DHS responds after viral Alpha News report on Kenyan sex offender in state governmentThe story of Wilson Tindi, a convicted sex offender and Kenyan national who rose to a leadership position in Minnesota's Department of Education, has now caught the attention of federal immigration authorities.After Alpha News broke the story on Monday, it exploded online, racking up millions of views, tens of thousands of shares, and drawing national outrage.State legislators and major conservative accounts like Libs of TikTok reposted the story, putting pressure on officials to respond.And now they are.The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a statement to Libs of TikTok addressing the case directly, which the agency reposted on its X account:“Under Tim Walz's sanctuary city policies, this convicted sex offender and illegal alien was not just released into Minnesota communities but was paid U.S. taxpayer dollars and given access to innocent Americans that could be victimized and harmed. We will get this sicko and criminal illegal aliens out of American communities — sanctuary politicians be damned.”Nonprofits weigh in on potential impacts to SNAP benefits under ‘Big Beautiful Bill'There are concerns that restricting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits could send more people to nonprofits, but those food providers are already seeing an increase in visitors, in part due to rising costs.Some Twin Cities nonprofits explained that if more people lose SNAP benefits under President Donald Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” their demand will increase.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if everything we think we know about Sasquatch is wrong? This week, we explore a much darker side of Bigfoot lore—one filled with violence, fear, and unanswered questions. This isn't the gentle forest giant myth we've all heard. Instead, we dive into chilling cases where unexplained deaths, strange disappearances, and disturbing evidence suggest something far more dangerous may be roaming our wilderness.From a Creek Indian found beaten to death in a prayer position in 1920s Oklahoma to a blood-soaked campsite in modern-day Minnesota, the stories we cover hint at a pattern of brutal encounters stretching across decades. We revisit the eerie abandonment of Port Chatham, Alaska, where residents fled from a terrifying creature they called the nantiinaq. We examine the desperate final moments of Jim Carter, an expert skier who vanished without a trace near Mount St. Helens, and the baffling disappearance of Bart Schleyer, a seasoned bear expert whose remains were scattered across the Yukon wilderness. We also confront the unsettling mystery of Theresa Ann Bier, a teenager who vanished on a Sasquatch expedition, and Jordan Girder, whose winter survival camp ended in inexplicable bloodshed.Throughout the episode, we question why so many of these deaths are written off as accidents or misclassified by officials, and what it might mean if the intelligence behind these incidents is greater than we want to believe.Is Sasquatch truly a misunderstood relic—or are some of the legends warning us about something real, something we've chosen not to see?

In this episode of The Bourbon Road, Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter return for Part Two of their deep dive into Lost Lantern's 2025 Summer Collection — and this time, it's all about the rye. The duo tastes through a curated lineup of four standout rye whiskeys, plus a bonus pour, delivering flavor notes, backstories, and some playful banter along the way. The tasting kicks off with Far North Spirits from Minnesota, a 4-year-old rye clocking in at 111.5 proof.

Next is the return of Fray Ranch from Nevada with a 6-year, 118.6-proof rye that blows both hosts away. With tasting notes of mint chocolate chip, brandy-like fruit, and a chocolate-dipped finish, it emerges as a strong contender for favorite pour of the episode. Colby and the Fray Ranch team continue to prove why their farm-to-glass model is producing truly unique and exceptional whiskey. The episode is peppered with exciting bourbon news, including: The upcoming release of Heaven Hill's Grain to Glass Kentucky Straight Rye (Batch 2) The return of Elijah Craig and Larceny barrel-proof expressions Jacob's Pardon Collective Series — a 16-year-old whiskey finished in 50-year-old Oloroso sherry casks Upcoming limited releases from Old Forester, Chattanooga Whiskey, Boone County, and New Riff As always, Jim and Todd keep it real, sharing not just tasting notes but honest opinions about value, availability, and flavor.

Progress has been made in raising awareness about mental health, but many people are still not getting the support they need. Listen to a conversation hosted by MPR News host Angela Davis about barriers to mental health care. Three women who lead Minnesota nonprofits talk about mental health needs in communities and families, the disparities in mental health care systems and how resources can support people.The discussion was recorded on May 28 at an event at the Ameriprise Financial Headquarters in Minneapolis that was organized by CHC: Creating Healthier Communities, a national nonprofit based in Alexandria, Virginia, in partnership with UCare and Medica Foundation.Panelists: Kimberly Spates is the chief executive officer of NorthPoint Health & Wellness Center, a federally qualified health center serving residents in North Minneapolis and Hennepin County. Sue Abderholden has served as executive director for NAMI Minnesota (National Alliance on Mental Illness) since 2001. She is also a community faculty member for the University of Minnesota School of Social Work where she teaches health and mental health policy.  Jessica Gourneau is the clinical director at the American Indian Family Center in St. Paul, where she oversees mental health, chemical dependency, and women's health programming.

June flew by and July has brought some seriously summery weather so far. MPR News meteorologist Sven Sundgaard joins Minnesota Now with the forecast for the upcoming Fourth of July weekend.

Most Mondays on Minnesota Now, MPR News listeners hear the voices of sports contributors Wally Langfellow and Eric Nelson. Each week they walk us through the winning streaks, slumps and near-misses of Minnesota teams. In this installment of our series Out to Lunch, we go out to the ballgame with these two longtime broadcasters to find out what drives their passion for sports. MPR News host Nina Moini meets up with Wally and Eric at a recent Twins game against the Seattle Mariners.

After three years of violence during the Fourth of July in Minneapolis, law enforcement is putting in place additional safety measures during the holiday weekend. And it may rain on your Fourth of July parade. We get a detailed forecast from MPR meteorologist Sven Sundgaard. Plus, we check in with Iranian Minnesotans, who are concerned about the safety of loved ones back home. A legal battle is unfolding in federal court that could impact the future of electric vehicle infrastructure in our state. And we go “Out to Lunch” to a Twins game at Target Field with sports contributors Wally Langfellow and Eric Nelson!

There's a special kind of dread that comes from driving a car that is about to run out of gas or power. That may be why electric vehicle advocates say highways need to have more EV charging stations for people who make the switch to electric. Those advocates had a recent win. A federal judge ordered the Trump Administration to unfreeze funding for EV infrastructure. But Minnesota's funding is still in limbo.Minnesota was one of 16 states plus the District of Columbia that sued over the funding freeze. But the court order only applied to 14 states, not including Minnesota. Great Plains Institute Senior EV Policy Specialist Moaz Uddin Mian joins MPR News host Nina Moini to explain.

Public safety measures are ramping up in Minneapolis ahead of the Fourth of July holiday weekend. Law enforcement leaders from the city of Minneapolis, Hennepin County and the state of Minnesota held a press conference Wednesday morning at Boom Island Park in Minneapolis to talk about additional safety measures that will be in place this weekend. MPR News reporter Matt Sepic attended the press conference joins Minnesota Now with details.

Song: Get Up Music by: Barbara McAfee Additional vocals by: Lia Falls   Notes: Barbara McAfee describes herself as "A nice Minnesota girl -- I like things that work!" -- and in her framework of the Full Voice, she has shaped the teachings of skilled choir leaders and the Roy Hart vocal work, as well as her own discovery of her voice into just that -- a framework that works! She says, “I've never believed more in the need for people to find their own voice…” and observes the deep courage of people coming to community sings for the first time after vocal wounding. The work of Angeles Arrien inspired Barbara in her own journey, and this song pulls in the grittiness and determination needed to keep waking up. Barbara adds a surprise bonus song in the middle of the episode -- "May It Go Easy As You Go" -- as we talk about singing as a way of saying what's hard to say.

The episode kicks off with a withering look at the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a deficit-busting tax cut that showers the rich while hacking away at Medicaid for the poorest Americans. Then, a trip to Minnesota's Iron Range, where Bethany McLean discusses the bitter fight over Nippon Steel's bid to buy U.S. Steel—and the awkward dance between union leadership and the workers they claim to represent. It's a story about how economic reality collides with political theater, and why Democrats keep misreading the mood in places that once anchored their coalition. And in the Spiel, a reminder that no amount of spectacle can disguise the trade-offs hiding in plain sight of that big, beautiful boondoggle.
