A Bemidji man says his cognitively impaired father was taken advantage of by Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life (MCCL), a leading group opposing abortion that is run by the husband of U.S. Rep. Michelle Fischbach, R-Minn. John Charais of Forest Lake made a gift of almost $850,000 in February to MCCL and its affiliated education fund, completely draining a family trust fund. The next day, he died by suicide at age 81. His son, Nick Charais, stopped payment on the donation checks and says MCCL...
Law enforcement fatally shot a man with a long history of mental illness after a lengthy standoff at his home west of the Twin Cities, officials and family said Thursday.

A storm that has battered much of Minnesota for the past three days finally touched the Twin Cities on Thursday, dropping enough snow overnight to coat roads and make for slippery travel. Minneapolis, St. Paul and numerous suburbs called snow emergencies as a winter weather advisory remained in effect until 9 p.m. for the Twin Cities and much of central Minnesota, where 3 to 4½ inches of snow fell overnight Wednesday through Thursday afternoon, the National Weather Service said. The...
Minnesotans are bellying up to the bar again, as the easing of the pandemic has unleashed a flood of patrons who are drinking at municipally owned taverns, especially in rural areas. For the 26th straight year, sales at Minnesota's municipally owned bars and liquor stores set a record, according to an annual report released Thursday by State Auditor Julie Blaha. The state's 212 munis rang up sales of $423.5 million in 2021, a 3.2% increase over 2020. https://www.startribune.c...
KYIV, Ukraine - Russia's Foreign Ministry warned Thursday that if the U.S. delivers sophisticated air defense systems to Ukraine, those systems and any crews that accompany them would be a "legitimate target" for the Russian military, a blunt threat that was quickly rejected by Washington. The exchange of statements reflected soaring Russia-U.S. tensions amid the fighting in Ukraine, which is now in its 10th month. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the U.S. had...
WASHINGTON — The House committee investigating the Capitol riot will hold its final meeting Monday, wrapping up its year-and-a-half-long inquiry by asking the Justice Department to investigate potential crimes. The committee of seven Democrats and two Republicans has interviewed more than 1,000 witnesses, held nearly a dozen hearings and collected millions of documents as it worked to create the most comprehensive record of the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. The chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., has said the committee will make c...
WASHINGTON - A bill to rescind the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for members of the U.S. military and provide nearly $858 billion for national defense passed the Senate on Thursday and now goes to President Joe Biden to be signed into law. The bill provides for about $45 billion more for defense programs than Biden requested and roughly 10% more than last year's bill as lawmakers look to account for inflation and boost the nation's military competitiveness with China and Russia. It includes a 4.6%...
WASHINGTON, Dec 15 (Reuters) - U.S. households can order four free at-home COVID-19 tests from the government website COVIDTests.gov beginning on Thursday as part of the Biden administration's efforts to tackle coronavirus infections over the winter. The White House said it would use existing funding to pay for the tests since it has been unsuccessful so far in getting Congress to pass a bill to put more money toward the U.S. COVID-19 response. The free tests program was paused because officials wanted to make sure there were enough tests...

The piece, "Native Hosts," Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds (Cheyenne, Arapaho), consisted of five metal panels that include the names of the Kaw, Potawatomi, Ioway, Ne Me Ha Ha Ki, and Kickapoo tribes. The theft came just weeks after four panels in the installation were vandalized in an unrelated incident by two defendants...
HONOLULU — The average profile of a missing child in Hawai'i: 15 years old, female, from the island of Oahu and Native Hawaiian. That's according to a report released Wednesday that says much more disaggregated racial and gender data is needed to combat the scourge of missing and murdered Native Hawaiian women. Key findings of the report, the first of its kind released by a task force created by the state Legislature last year to investigate the issue, include that more than a quarter of missing girls in Hawai'i are Native Hawaiian and that m...

MINNEAPOLIS — Today marks the anniversary of the Doe v. Gomez Minnesota Supreme Court decision that requires a policy of abortion-on-demand and taxpayer funding of abortion. It has now led to the elimination of most of Minnesota’s longstanding abortion-related laws, including informed consent and parental notification requirements. “The Doe v. Gomez ruling got the Minnesota Constitution wrong and imposed abortion extremism in Minnesota,” says MCCL Executive Director Scott Fischbach. “Abortion is legal for any reason, and it’s often bankrolled...
