WASHINGTON - The U.S. House voted Tuesday to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, with the Republican majority determined to punish the Biden administration over its handling of the U.S-Mexico border after failing last week in a politically embarrassing setback. The evening roll call proved tight, with Speaker Mike Johnson's threadbare GOP majority unable to handle many defectors or absences in the face of staunch Democratic opposition to impeaching Mayorkas, the first...
A lone gray wolf bolted past a logger last week, on the edge of a clear cut forest in northern St. Louis County. The wolf ran past a giant industrial saw and leaped over felled trees in pursuit of what was either a young doe or an antlerless buck. Seconds later, the wolf killed the deer on the other side of a neatly stacked pile of freshly cut logs, oblivious to the logger, who captured the chase on video. U.S. Rep. Pete Stauber, R-Minn., posted the video on several social media sites along...
It's been a tough winter for Minnesotans who typically take to the ice this time of year. Here's (more) proof: Last week on Prior Lake, a fish house crashed through thin ice that proceeded to refreeze leaving the fish house partially submerged. The Scott County Sheriff's Office was first called to the sunken fish house around 1:30 p.m. on Feb. 8, according to Operations Captain Steve Collins. It is located off the north shore of Lower Prior Lake, just off of the sportsman's access launch....
DULUTH - Interim Police Chief Chad Pattison is a force of one overseeing law enforcement of the northeastern Minnesota city of Moose Lake. Two officers resigned from the typically five-person force last month, and two others, including the chief, last summer. This week, its City Council could decide to stick with a Moose Lake force or sign a contract with Carlton County to have four of its deputies oversee it, a controversial choice in the city of 2,600. "It's small-town America," Pattison...
WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden on Tuesday said Donald Trump's comments calling into question the U.S. commitment to defend its NATO allies from attack were ''dangerous'' and ''un-American,'' seizing on the former president's comments that sowed fresh fears among U.S. partners about its dependability on the global stage. Trump, the front-runner in the U.S. for the Republican Party's nomination this year, said Saturday that he once warned that he would allow Russia to do whatever it wants to...

Minneapolis-based Target last posted on social media platform X on Jan. 31, 2023. The retailer's year-plus absence on the app formally known as Twitter isn't unique among Minnesota companies, big and small. The likes of Medtronic, 3M, UnitedHealth Group, Magers & Quinn Booksellers and more have all taken their posts — and oftentimes, significant advertising dollars as well — away from the once-dominant network. As for the reason behind the mass exodus, the large companies, at least, have been hesitant to share their thinking. Target dec...
Minnesota farms are growing in size but shrinking in number, according to the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture census released Tuesday. The once-every-five-years USDA agricultural census, which tracks data on producers earning more than $1,000 a year, found the average Minnesota farm in 2022 was 388 acres, up 17 acres from 2017. Nationally, more U.S. farms are closing and fewer acres are devoted to farmland than five years ago, Tom Vilsack, USDA secretary for the Biden administration, said...

HARTFORD, Conn. - A quick-moving winter storm battered cities in the Northeast with snowfall, sending huge waves crashing into the New England coastline and forcing New York City schools into glitch-filled remote learning reminiscent of the early days of the pandemic. Airlines canceled or delayed flights while accidents were reported on slippery roads, and at least one person died. The storm quickly passed through the region, producing snowfall totals that were significant in some cities but...
Gazans living in the overcrowded border city of Rafah are attempting to flee ahead of an expected military operation by Israeli forces, despite uncertainty about where to go next and dwindling resources.

The agency is loosening its covid isolation recommendations for the first time since 2021 to align it with guidance on how to avoid transmitting flu and RSV, according to four agency officials and an expert familiar with the discussions. CDC officials acknowledged in internal discussions and in a briefing last week with state health officials how...

Three bills were introduced last year at the South Dakota Legislature to address Native American child welfare reform. All of them were defeated, with opponents citing concerns about the U.S. Supreme Court’s impending case addressing the Indian Child Welfare Act, known by the acronym ICWA. The court has since upheld the constitutionality of the federal law, and another batch of bills has been introduced during the 2024 legislative session. “I have to bring this back,” said Rep. Peri Pourier, D-Rapid City, who sponsored the bills last year,...
