Description

Federal workers are either furloughed or working without pay during the government shutdown that started today.


And federal officials say Minnesota’s inclusion of trans athletes in female sports is a violation of Title IX. The Trump administration announced yesterday it had found Minnesota’s high school league and state department of education in violation of civil rights law for policies that allow transgender athletes to compete on teams consistent with their gender.


Those stories and more in today’s evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.
