According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota has gotten warmer and wetter over the last century. It's one sign of a changing climate being seen in the state. As we continue to learn about the impacts of climate change, state leaders are taking steps to hold big companies accountable for their role in contributing to climate change. One route has been through the courts. Another has been through legislation that would make fossil fuel companies pay for their emissions. To learn where these efforts stand, MPR News host Nina Moini spoke with two guests who have been keeping an eye on these efforts in Minnesota and across the U.S. James Coleman is a professor of law at the University of Minnesota.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth says he is taking a “sledgehammer” to a federal program that many tribes and tribal businesses rely on. He is referring to the Small Business Administration's 8(a) Business Development Program that extends contract priorities to disadvantaged business owners. Hegseth uses words like “fraud” and “scheme” to describe what he says is an outdated diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiative. His is part of an overall scrutiny of the program by the federal government. Hundreds of Native small businesses have accessed the program over the past 60 years, and some Alaska Native corporations have multi-million dollar contracts.

The guys kick things off with a festive debate on Christmas shopping strategy—early planners vs. last-minute scramblers—before diving into a wild Week 14 in the NFL. They break down the surprising losses from last year's Super Bowl teams, Kansas City and Philadelphia, and reevaluate the favorites in each conference as the playoff picture tightens. Then it's time to look ahead as they preview the Patriots' massive Week 15 showdown with Buffalo and what's at stake for New England. The conversation shifts to the college football world, and the CFP committee decision to leave out Notre Dame and BYU in favor of Miami. The guys give their takes on the committee's logic (or lack thereof). To wrap things up, the boys debate which of this year's gimmicky bowl games they'd most want to play in—and why.

The top lawmakers on a key House cybersecurity panel are hoping to remove a barrier to entry for cyber jobs in the federal government. Introduced last week, the Cybersecurity Hiring Modernization Act from Reps. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., and Shontel Brown, D-Ohio, would prioritize skills-based hiring over educational requirements for cyber jobs at federal agencies. Mace and Brown — the chair and ranking member of the House Oversight Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation Subcommittee, respectively — said the legislation would ensure the federal government has access to a “broader pool of qualified applicants” as the country faces “urgent cybersecurity challenges.” Mace said in a press release Thursday: “As cyber threats against our government continue to grow, we need to make sure our federal agencies hire the most qualified candidates, not just those with traditional degrees. This bill cuts red tape, opens doors to skilled Americans without a four-year diploma but with the expertise to get the job done, and strengthens our nation's cybersecurity workforce.” Brown said in a statement that expanding the cyber workforce is “imperative” to “meet our nation's growing need for safe and secure systems.” The bill aims to “remove outdated hiring policies, expand workforce opportunities to a wider pool of talented applicants, and help agencies hire the staff that they need,” she added. The bill calls on the Office of Personnel Management to annually publish any education-related changes that are made to minimum qualification requirements for federal cyber roles. OPM would also be charged with aggregating data on educational backgrounds of new hires for those cyber positions. Texas-based defense startup Saronic Technologies will produce multiple batches of autonomous maritime drones for the U.S. Navy by mid-2031 under an other transaction agreement (OTA) worth more than $392 million, according to officials and public contracting documents viewed by DefenseScoop. Details are sparse regarding the specific features, types and quantities of unmanned vessels Saronic will deliver — but they'll likely mark a major component of the Navy's AI-enabled, hybrid fleet that's being designed to counter security threats in and around the Pacific. OTA contract vehicles offer Defense Department buyers more flexibility and speed than traditional Federal Acquisition Regulation-based acquisitions. They're a key element in the Navy's broader plan to modernize and incentivize accelerated technology adoption to prepare for future fights. According to records posted on the Federal Procurement Data System, Naval Sea Systems Command and Saronic Technologies formalized this $392 million OTA — which has a completion date of May 30, 2031 — on May 16. Two months later, in July, NAVSEA made an award to Saronic worth nearly $197 million under the agreement, or about half of the total award ceiling. It's unclear if more awards have been made to date.

The city of Anchorage plans to clear a large encampment of homeless people at a park in mid-June following years of complaints and public safety problems. The park has seen two fatal shootings and a large fire in recent months. The city's move is one of dozens of encampment “abatements” around the country following a U.S. Supreme Court decision that allows such law enforcement actions. Some cities have multi-pronged strategies to help homeless residents further displaced when officials clear encampments. We'll explore where solutions may lie in the balance between compassion and public safety. GUESTS Jim LaBelle (Iñupiaq), member of the Anchorage Native Community Council James Lovell (Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians), chief community development officer for the Chief Seattle Club Rene' Williams (Colville), director of strategic initiatives for the California Native Vote Project Reva Stewart (Diné), owner of Shush Diné Native Shop, founder of Stolen People, Stolen Benefits, and founder of Turtle Island Women Warriors

WAMU's Kojo Nnamdi talks about the biggest stories from this past week.

A key piece of the gun control legislation passed after the horrific shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland could be on the chopping block if lawmakers efforts succeed. USA TODAY Florida Network journalists Antonio Fins, John Kennedy and Ana Goñi-Lessan discuss the possible drop in Florida's gun ownership age. Also, Rep. Byron Donalds? Casey DeSantis? Still nearly two years out, candidates are already laying plans for the governor's mansion. And Is Tallahassee trying to squash control of local governments?

As Missouri lawmakers enter the second half of the legislative session, they are considering bills to amend or repeal the voter-approved measure that ended the state's near-total abortion ban.

Hosts: Erin Rider and Taylor Morgan  Pres. Trump focuses on economy in speech to Congress, Democrats take aim at Elon Musk  It's been his message since last year's election: America is back. During his first speech to Congress this term, President Donald Trump continually reemphasized his belief that the "golden age of America has only just begun.” Republicans cheered, Democrats protested, and the fact that our country is divided as ever was on full display last night during the President's address. Inside Sources hosts Erin Rider and Taylor Morgan go in-depth with their thoughts and analysis on the President’s speech to a joint session of Congress.    SCOTUS rules that Trump administration must pay out foreign assistance funds  This morning, the United State Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration must pay out nearly 2-billion dollars in foreign assistance funds to groups that had already done work on behalf of the federal government. It's the latest development as the White House works to cull spending on foreign aid efforts. The Inside Sources hosts discuss the latest on foreign aid funding.    Local impacts of DOGE cuts affecting Utahns  The impacts of federal downsizing are continuing to grow, and federal workers in Utah aren't immune from the impacts. Between lay-offs within the IRS and Veteran Affairs, tens of thousands of federal workers nationwide are getting pink slips. And then buildings -- the feds appear set to sell several federal buildings in Utah. Inside Sources talks about the local effects of DOGE cuts.    On the Hill 2025: Legislation on government records and information  Just a few days left in the state's 2025 Legislative General Session. We've covered a ton of bills so far and this segment, we dig into a bill on government records, including the disclosure of voter history information. You'll remember that in last year's primary election, there was some concern with how voter's voting methods were being tracked by county clerks. Floor Sponsor State Senator Calvin Musselman explains how the bill addresses that kind of situation.    On the Hill 2025: Several bills on the judiciary won’t move forward  Throughout the session, we've discussed many bills relating to Utah's judiciary. This week, a deal was struck between the State Legislature and the Utah Judicial Council, resulting in the withdrawal of several bills affecting Utah's judicial system. Inside Sources discuss the bills that were pulled and the ones that are still going forward.    House GOP leadership urges Republican lawmakers to skip town hall meetings  On this show, we've discussed the importance (or unimportance) of town hall meetings several times. Some of our hosts think they're pointless and outdated, some go for entertainment, and others think they have an important place in politics. But now, House Speaker Mike Johnson is urging GOP lawmakers to skip town halls. Is this a good or a bad idea?
