  • Maps show how redistricting reshapes Minnesota's political borders

    Feb 16, 2022

    Once every decade, the political boundaries of the state shift and help determine elections for the next 10 years. It’s called redistricting, and occurs after the census count to equally redistribute the state’s population between legislative and congressional districts. Districts that have seen population growth over the last decade need to shrink, while districts that shed population need to get bigger in size. In Minnesota, the courts have taken over the process this year — as they have for the last five decades — because the divided...

  • Minnesota congressional boundaries shift under new redistricting maps

    Feb 16, 2022

    The boundaries of Minnesota's eight congressional districts will shift around the edges for the decade to come under redistricting maps released Tuesday, with the most dramatic geographic changes occurring in two swing districts in the southern half of the state.

  • Trucker blockade turns COVID-restricted trickle of U.S.-Canada border traffic to almost none at all

    Feb 16, 2022

    The outlook had already been bleak at Mason Peters' border-town business in Pembina, N.D., that serves as a shipping address and warehouse for goods that Canadians have purchased from U.S. companies. Mike's Parcel, which Peters and his wife bought in 2019, had lost some 60% of its business since March 2020. Pandemic restrictions - from border closures to restrictive Canadian COVID-19 vaccine and testing mandates - slowed leisure traffic at the state's busiest border crossing at the nexus of...

  • US hasn't verified Russian pullback of troops near Ukraine

    Feb 16, 2022

    MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that he welcomed a security dialogue with the West, and his military reported pulling back some of its troops near Ukraine. But U.S. President Joe Biden said the U.S. had not verified Russia's claim and that an invasion was still a distinct possibility. Putin said he does not want war and would rely on negotiations in his efforts to eliminate any chance that Ukraine could one day join NATO. At the same time, he did not commit to a full pullback of troops, saying Russia's next moves in t...

    America's coastline will see sea levels rise in the next 30 years by as much as they did in the entire 20th century, with major Eastern cities hit regularly with costly floods even on sunny days, a government report warns.
