Two Minnesotans spar during Congressional hearing

In a marathon one-day special session that ended early this morning, the Legislature passed 15 bills, most of them dealing with the budget.

And two Minnesotans — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Democratic Representative Betty McCollum — sparred during a congressional hearing today in Washington.

Those stories and more in today’s evening update. Hosted by Emily Bright. Music by Gary Meister.
