WASHINGTON - In a dramatic procession across the U.S. Capitol, House Democrats carried the formal articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate late Wednesday, setting the stage for only the third trial to remove a president in American history.

When Megan Diediker was first diagnosed with breast cancer at age 34, the high school geometry teacher wondered whether something in the environment could have played a role.

DFL Gov. Tim Walz unveiled the final phase of a $2 billion state bonding package Wednesday, laying out the details of an ambitious public works plan that Republican lawmakers immediately criticized as bloated and costly.

At 2 a.m. on a November morning, Shirley Breitman began to scream for help from the bed of her assisted-living facility in St. Louis Park. Her pained cries were streamed live to the smartphones of Breitman's two adult children - Richard in Minneapolis and Laurie in Los Angeles - through an internet-connected camera placed in her bedroom. Within minutes, Richard was on the phone with the facility's nursing staff, asking them to check on their 98-year-old mother, who has advanced dementia and was...
The fix is in. The jury is anything but impartial. The verdict is pretty much foreordained. But that isn't what this trial will be about. http://www.startribune.com/the-impeachment-is-about-politics-but-not-all-about-politics/567022042/...
A return to the playoffs - and a wild-card win over the Saints - helped the Vikings rebound from a disappointing 2018 season and put themselves among the NFC's final four teams in 2019.

Here is a position-by-position, player-by-player breakdown of the 2019 roster, with beat writer Ben...
A federal judge in Maryland issued a preliminary injunction Wednesday barring enforcement of President Donald Trump's executive order that gave state and local jurisdictions the final decision on whether to accept newly admitted refugees. The effect, at least for now, is that local debates - such as the heated exchanges in Beltrami and Stearns counties - may have been exercises in futility. http://www.startribune.com/federal-judge-blocks-trump-s-order-on-refugee-resettlements...
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Iran's top diplomat acknowledged Wednesday that Iranians "were lied to" for days after the Islamic Republic accidentally shot down a Ukrainian jetliner. The admission came as new surveillance footage purported to show two surface-to-air missiles 20 seconds apart shred the airplane and kill all 176 people aboard. The downing of the Ukraine International Airlines flight last week came amid heightened tensions between Iran and the U.S. over its unraveling nuclear...

In 2018, the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation in Utah filed a lawsuit in federal court alleging the United States violated federal law by treating reservation lands “as though they were owned by the United States (US) outright, rather than in trust for the Tribe.” The Northern Ute Tribe (Tribe), as they are commonly known by, claimed the US wrongfully appropriated revenue related to the sale or lease of lands within the Uintah and Ouray Reservation. It added, the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) employees entered and tresp...

Smoking doesn’t just ruin your health. It can also burn a nasty hole through your wallet. Tobacco use accounts for nearly half a million deaths in the U.S. each year and is the leading cause of lung cancer, according to the American Lung Association. Even those around tobacco smokers aren’t safe from its harmful effects. Since 1964, smoking-related illnesses have claimed over 20 million lives in the U.S., 2.5 million of which belonged to nonsmokers who developed diseases merely from secondhand-smoke exposure. However, the economic and soc...
As the snow and ice arrive, so does the recurring battle to manage paved surfaces. Salt – used to de-ice our paved surfaces – is commonly over-applied. We scatter an estimated 445,000 tons of chloride-laden salt in Minnesota each year. More than 70 percent of that mixes with stormwater and ends up in our lakes, rivers, and streams, where it is toxic to fish and other aquatic life. It takes only one teaspoon of salt in five gallons of water to exceed water quality standards for chloride and create conditions that harm aquatic life. There is no...
