At more than a dozen tide gauges spanning from Texas to North Carolina, sea levels are at least 6 inches higher than they were in 2010 - a change similar to what occurred over the previous five decades.

  • Trump feeds on himself at political rally--again and again

    May 3, 2024

    WAUKESHA, Wis. - Donald Trump's words were almost exactly the same, but the change of scenery made all the difference. On Tuesday, he spoke as a criminal defendant: in a dingy, echoing courthouse hallway, behind a metal barricade, flanked by a grim-faced lawyer, speaking to a handful of reporters and a single TV camera. On Wednesday, he was the presumptive Republican nominee: backed by American flags, greeted as a hero by thousands of fans who chanted his name. This time, when Trump railed...

Four years after Congress ordered U.S. network operators to remove all telephone and internet equipment made by the China-based companies Huawei and...

  • University of Minnesota strengthens case to treat COVID-19 with metformin, not ivermectin

    May 3, 2024

    Patients with COVID-19 had lower viral loads if treated with metformin, according to new University of Minnesota research that argues for broader use of the cheap anti-diabetes drug and against the controversial use of ivermectin. Thursday's published findings helped connect the dots and explain why metformin in a U-led clinical trial reduced the likelihood of COVID-related hospitalizations or the development of long COVID illness. The amount of virus in patients is often associated with the...

  • 3M paying back nearly $1M in overpayments improperly deducted from employee paychecks

    May 3, 2024

    Thousands of 3M employees have been accidentally overpaid in recent years, often a few pennies or dollars, due to time card issues that didn't get resolved before paychecks were issued. The Maplewood-based company made it a habit to claw back the overpayments with deductions from a subsequent paycheck, but without voluntary written consent from employees. That's illegal. Now 3M will pay back more than $960,000 it deducted without that authorization in a settlement with the state Attorney...

  • MDH launches 'Hear Her' campaign to reduce pregnancy-related deaths
