Thousands of students and supporters marched Saturday in St. Paul as part of the worldwide “March for Our Lives” demonstration to protest gun violence.

WASHINGTON — In a historic groundswell of youth activism, hundreds of thousands of teenagers and their supporters rallied across the U.S. against gun violence Saturday, vowing to transform fear and grief into a “vote-them-out” movement and tougher laws against weapons and ammo. They took to the streets of the nation’s capital and such cities as Boston, New York, Chicago, Houston, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Los Angeles and Oakland, California, in the kind of numbers seen during the Vietnam era, sweeping up activists long frustrated by stalema...
As Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton nears the end of eight years in office to cap a four-decade political career, he’s content to take a back seat in the race to replace him. At least for now. The Democratic governor has repeatedly declined to take a swing at his predecessor, Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty — the man he faults for leaving the state with a $6 billion budget deficit when Dayton took office in 2011 — even as Pawlenty considers running for his old job this fall. And in an interview with the Associated Press, Dayton said he will wait to ma...
