Sue Murr felt grateful Thursday to be one of the first recipients of COVID-19 vaccine via a new state option for people 65 and older - and for a daughter who stuck with the state's overwhelmed website to book the appointment. "It would not have happened without my daughter," said Murr, 69. "She tried on the website, it crashed. She went to her phone and she had to reboot or something three times. On the third time, she got a confirmation." Tens of thousands tried on Tuesday, but only around...
Leaders of Minnesota's biggest American Indian tribes are criticizing U.S. Rep. Pete Stauber for his efforts to build opposition to President Joe Biden's pick for Interior secretary, who is herself a tribal member. Most egregiously, state tribal leaders said, Stauber - a Republican whose northeastern Minnesota district is home to several of the state's largest bands - did not even give them a heads-up that he would be trying to sink the nomination of Democratic Rep. Deb Haaland of New Mexico to...
One week into an abbreviated winter sports season, the wearing of masks by Minnesota high school athletes has generated frustration from schools and officials about uneven compliance during games. The Minnesota State High School League addressed the issue during a virtual meeting Thursday with school representatives. League officials reiterated that the mask mandate is accompanied by expectations of 100% compliance by the hundreds of teams and thousands of athletes competing across the state....
WASHINGTON - With a burst of executive orders, President Joe Biden served notice Thursday that America's war on COVID-19 is under new command, promising an anxious nation progress to reduce infections and lift the siege it has endured for nearly a year. At the same time, he tried to manage expectations in his second day in office, saying despite the best intentions "we're going to face setbacks." He brushed off a reporter's question on whether his goal of 100 million coronavirus shots in 100...
BEMIDJI -- In recent months, the northwest region of Minnesota has seen opioid-related overdoses skyrocket. Several local law enforcement agencies -- the Beltrami County Sheriff’s Department, Red Lake Tribal Police, White Earth Tribal Police, Leech Lake Tribal Police and the Bemidji Police Department -- recently co-authored a press release, warning the public that many of these overdoses have been linked to fentanyl, a synthetic opioid. Under the jurisdictions of these agencies, there have been 62 recorded overdoses since Dec. 1. Ten of t...
My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell said during an interview Saturday with Brian Glenn of Right Side Broadcasting Network that several major retailers are dropping his product. "I just got off the phone with Bed Bath & Beyond. They're dropping My Pillow. Just got off the phone not five minutes ago. Kohl's, all these different places," Lindell said. "These [companies], they're scared, like a Bed Bath & Beyond, they're scared. They were good partners. In fact, I told them, 'You guys come back anytime you...
MOORHEAD, Minn. - Dr. Carson Gardner has been a physician for more than four decades. But watching the coronavirus pandemic unfold over the past year has reinforced his belief that simply listening has great value in the practice of medicine. "Caring about people," he said. "That's always, I think, been the most important thing for me personally - listening to people who have health care needs and concerns and emergencies, and have fears and hopes and confusion, and hearing what they're asking...

YPC members are students in grades 8 through 11 who are selected to support disaster preparedness and make a positive impact on their communities. The 2021 YPC is now open for applications. The YPC is an opportunity for young leaders to engage with FEMA and provide their perspectives, feedback, and opinions related to preparedness, t...
While President Joseph Biden spent most of his inaugural address pleading for unity, he also touched on an issue of deep importance to many American families: getting children back to school during the pandemic. "We can teach our children in safe schools," Biden said in his address. He was alluding to his pledge to make it possible for most elementary school children to return to school for in-person instruction at least by the end of his first 100 days in office. It was the only direct...
President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 recovery plan includes more than double the aid for K-12 schools that Congress approved in its last coronavirus relief plan, but how much of it appeals to lawmakers responsible for passing any such blueprint remains to be seen. The Biden team unveiled the plan, which has a $1.9 trillion price tag, roughly a week before his Jan. 20 inauguration. It got a warm reception from many education groups. The last aid plan signed by former President Donald Trump in December included $54.3 billion in direct aid for K-12 p...
Dive Brief: • Low enrollment numbers could be permanent in some areas where students are moving beyond school district borders, cornering districts into difficult decisions, said education finance expert Marguerite Roza in a Tuesday webinar hosted by the Edunomics Lab at Georgetown University. • Even though states are putting in place policies to buffer the impact, shrinking enrollment could result in a significant decline in funding districts receive from their state, forcing them to think about whether they need to "downsize their ope...
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) launched a new, online survey for COVID-19 case investigation today as part of an effort to make this public health strategy faster, easier and more efficient for Minnesotans contacted about COVID-19 cases. “The scale of this pandemic has made us look to new methods to do our work,” said Minnesota Commissioner of Health Jan Malcolm. “Tools like this survey will mean we can reach more people, more quickly, and ideally slow the spread of COVID-19 in Minnesota.” Case investigation is the process to determi...
St. Paul, MN—To commemorate the 48th anniversary of the landmark Roe vs. Wade decision, Minnesota legislators introduced a bill that will protect the reproductive rights of all Minnesotans. The Protect Reproductive Options Act (PRO Act) establishes Minnesotans’ fundamental right to make autonomous decisions about their own reproductive health care, including the right to contraception, the right to continue a pregnancy and give birth, and the right to have an abortion. With a new conservative U.S. Supreme Court poised to take up any of 17 ant...
St. Paul – Minnesota’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped to 4.4% in December, down from a revised 4.5% in November, according to numbers released today by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). The tenth of a percentage point tick down was due to people leaving the labor force, at least temporarily, and happened as Minnesota lost 49,800 jobs in December. The private sector lost 42,900 jobs in Minnesota in December, down 1.8% and Government lost 6,900 jobs, down 1.7%. December employment numbers ref...

The i...
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) today updated its COVID-19 testing recommendations, focused primarily on young Minnesotans returning to schools, youth sports, and extracurricular activities - especially those ages 12-25. The new guidance comes as students across the state begin returning to the classroom and extracurricular activities following Governor Walz’s loosening of restrictions on certain activities and sectors of the economy. The recommendations expand the category of people who should get tested to include students r...
Snow and ice in the forecast means it’s deicer season. Salt — used to de-ice our paved surfaces — is commonly over-applied, sending too much chloride into our waterways and wreaking havoc for fish and other wildlife. Minnesotans can do their part this winter with a “less is better” strategy to salting surfaces and an age-old simple tool: the shovel. We scatter an estimated 445,000 tons of chloride containing salt in Minnesota each year. Almost all that chloride ends up in our surface water, lakes, rivers, and streams where it is toxic to...
Schools are closing again in response to surging levels of COVID-19 infection, but staging randomised trials when students eventually return could help to clarify uncertainties around when we should send children back to the classroom, according to a new study. Experts say that school reopening policies currently lack a rigorous evidence base - leading to wide variation in policies around the world, but staging cluster randomized trials (CRT) would create a body of evidence to help policy makers take the right decisions. The pandemic’s rapid o...
