Burnsville shooting indictment; VP Kamala Harris in Minnesota

And a symbolic setting figured prominently into an appearance by Vice President Kamala Harris in Minnesota Thursday. Harris toured a Planned Parenthood North Central States facility to make a point about the Biden administration’s commitment to preserving access to abortion and other reproductive care.
