With the Capitol secured by armed National Guard troops inside and out, the House voted 232-197 to impeach Trump. The proceedings moved at lightning speed, with lawmakers voting just one week after violent pro-Trump loyalists stormed the U.S....
WASHINGTON - Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pointedly did not rule out Wednesday that he might eventually vote to convict the now twice-impeached President Donald Trump, but he also blocked a quick Senate impeachment trial. Minutes after the House voted 232-197 to impeach Trump, McConnell said in a letter to his GOP colleagues that he's not determined whether Trump should be convicted in the Senate's upcoming proceedings. The House impeachment articles charge that Trump incited...

Donor plasma from patients who have recovered from COVID-19 can reduce deaths in others if given early and at high enough doses, Mayo Clinic researchers found. The discovery validates one of COVID-19's only known treatments, which will be relied on until an increase in vaccinations snuffs out the global pandemic, said Dr. R. Scott Wright, a coordinator of Mayo's national COVID-19 plasma therapy program. "I think it behooves the medical community to continue to innovate and test therapies for...
Efforts to slow copper-mining's advance into Minnesota are intensifying, with state lawmakers proposing a prohibitive measure that would require mining companies to show proof that a similar non-iron, hard-rock mine has operated safely elsewhere. More is in the works, including companion state and federal bills to ban copper mining on federal lands next to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Those are slated to be introduced shortly in Minnesota and Congress. Such bans would kill the...

At 11 p.m. on a recent Saturday, Lindy Frasl put the finishing touches on the third ice-fishing wheelhouse he has built. At 20 feet, this one was bigger than the other two, but similarly outfitted, with four bunks, a TV, bathroom and small kitchen. Five hours later, Frasl, of Brainerd, was en route to Upper Red Lake to fish for walleyes, joining there a few thousand other ice anglers. "Upper Red is unique because it's a big basin and there's no underwater structure in any one location that...

We are two hours north of Minneapolis, in Palisade, Minn., where people are gathering to oppose the Line 3 pipeline.

It is here that Enbridge is due to horizontally drill a new pipeline crossing beneath the river. We enter the lodge. The peace, the...
