The Alabama Supreme Court ruled Friday that frozen embryos are people and someone can be held liable for destroying them, a decision that reproductive rights advocates say could imperil in vitro fertilization (IVF) and affect the hundreds of thousands of patients who depend on treatments like it each year. The first-of-its-kind ruling comes as at least 11 states have broadly defined personhood as beginning at fertilization in their state laws, according to reproductive rights group Pregnancy...

MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich. - The Biden-Harris pep rally at a union hall here was thrown together quickly, not wanting Donald Trump's visit to Oakland County the next day to go unchecked. The two events could not have been more different, either in scale or in tone. A small community of Democratic activists came Friday, seeking the jolt of energy they felt their campaign lacked, and their anxiety was palpable, both for the difficulties of winning and the consequences of failure. Then on Saturday, a...
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Iran, eager to disrupt U.S. and Israeli interests in the Middle East but wary of provoking a direct confrontation, is privately urging Hezbollah and other armed groups to exercise restraint against U.S. forces, according to officials in the region. Israel's brutal war on Hamas in Gaza has stoked conflict between the United States and Iran's proxy forces on multiple fronts. With no cease-fire in sight, Iran could face the most significant test yet of its ability to...
The Environmental Protection Agency is considering relaxing one of its most significant climate change rules - tailpipe emissions limits for cars and trucks - by giving automakers more time to boost sales of electric vehicles, according to two people familiar with the matter. Rather than mandating a rapid increase in electric vehicle (EV) sales in the coming years, the agency could delay these requirements until after 2030, the two people said. The individuals spoke on the condition of...

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner confirmed Monday that Shannon Cortez Gooden, 38, was the suspect in the killing of three emergency responders inside a Burnsville home early Sunday. Authorities say he then took his own life. The...
Teachers in the Anoka-Hennepin school district have approved a compensation package that will eat up virtually all of the money the district received from the Legislature last year as part of a $2.2 billion boost for public education. Under a compromise agreement reached through mediation last month, the district's 3,200 teachers would see average pay climb by 5% in the first year of the new two-year contract and 3% in the second year. The deal is retroactive to June 30, when the last contract...

Leaders are promising a quieter session this year. Still, the Legislature is expected to tackle a few big topics. Here's a list of the key issues we're tracking and where they are in the legislative process. This page will be updated throughout the...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Astronomers have discovered what may be the brightest object in the universe, a quasar with a black hole at its heart growing so fast that it swallows the equivalent of a sun a day.

The black hole powering this distant quasar is more than 17 billion times more immense than our sun, an Australian-led team reported Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy. While the quasar resembles a mere dot in...

Each fall, millions of hunters across North America make their way into forests and grasslands to hunt deer. Over the winter, people chow down on the venison steaks, sausage, and burgers made from the animals. These hunters, however, are not just on the front lines of an American tradition. Infectious disease researchers say they are also on the front lines of what could be a serious threat to public health: chronic wasting disease. The neurological disease, which is contagious, rapidly...
BEMIDJI — Images of an apartment complex with broken windows, unsecured entrances and vandalism, are the last thing that anyone in Bemidji wants to see.

The situation at the apartment complexes, one located on Pine Ridge Avenue Northwest and the other on Washington Avenue South — both operated by Tandem Property Management out of Moorhead, Minn. — has been declining for at least a...

During the fall 2023 semester there were fewer than 700 Native Americans enrolled at Universities of Wisconsin schools, about 0.4 percent of the total student population, according to system data. Yet despite that minuscule proportion, Tribes in Wisconsin continue to have a large impact on the UW System. In the 2023 fiscal year, through a land trust managed by the state’s Board of Commissioners of Public Lands (BCPL), the Universities of Wisconsin received more than $1 million earned by lands that had been taken from the state’s tribes dur...
