Thousands of Minnesotans brought the abortion debate to the State Capitol lawn on Tuesday, as activists vowed to step up their campaign to outlaw the procedure. "We know that Minnesota is a pro-life state and your presence on a frigid day is a testament to this cause," House GOP leader Kurt Daudt told the crowd.

The Minnesota Court of Appeals on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit arguing that state laws make it too hard to get rid of bad teachers and threaten students’ right to an adequate education. The ruling in the case of Forslund v. Minnesota comes nearly three years after a group of parents from Minneapolis, St. Paul, Eagan and Duluth sued the state. They contended that laws related to teacher contracts, tenure and dismissal protected ineffective teachers and sometimes resulted in more qualified teachers being let go. The lawsuit suggested that those l...

Peterson (D-Minn.) and Congressman Don Young (R-Alaska) are leading a bipartisan letter urging President Trump and Congressional Leadership to come to an expeditious agreement to reopen the government while securing the border.

WASHINGTON - Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Tuesday scheduled a pair of competing votes to reopen the federal government, announcing that he would bring up dueling proposals from President Donald Trump and the Democrats that would amount to the first real action in the Senate since the shutdown began a month ago.

Many impacted contractors, have had difficulty receiving payments on invoices submitted prior to the shut-down, and are left with no recourse as they are unable to...

Schools across the country are bracing themselves for the potentially devastating repercussions that an ongoing government shutdown could have for students during lunchtime.
