Baby deliveries will no longer be scheduled at Essentia Health's hospital in Fosston, Minn., under a plan that will further erode labor and delivery services outside of Minnesota's largest cities. The northwest Minnesota hospital had hoped to reopen its obstetrical unit after a shortage of trained staff forced it in June 2022 to divert deliveries an hour's drive south to Essentia's hospital in Detroit Lakes. Now that change will be permanent. Recruiting had become challenging at a time when...
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended his Republican presidential campaign on Sunday, ending his 2024 White House bid just before the New Hampshire primary while endorsing his bitter rival Donald Trump. The decision leaves Trump and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley as the last major candidates remaining in the race ahead of Tuesday's New Hampshire primary. This is the scenario Trump's foes in the GOP have long sought, raising the stakes for this week's contest as the party's last chance to stop the former president who has s...

Just days before Christmas, a pickup truck driver passed a motorist that had stopped for a school bus unloading children on the right, then blew past the bus that had its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, narrowly missing two grade-school-age children crossing the street. Video of the Dec. 21 incident near Willow River, Minn., went viral, and led to charges against the pickup truck driver. It was hardly an isolated case. From 2018 through 2022, court records show more than 2,000...

High school senior Jorge Vargas and his classmates practiced slowly filling syringes and pressing the plunger of a nostril spray device, pretending the tools were filled with overdose-reversing naloxone. A growing number of Minnesota school officials - and now some students, too - are learning how to respond to opioid overdoses as teen deaths from the drugs have climbed in recent years.

RAFAH, Gaza Strip — The Palestinian death toll from the war between Israel and Hamas has soared past 25,000, the Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip said Sunday, while Israel announced the death of another hostage and appeared far from achieving its goals of freeing more than 100 others and crushing the militant group. The war's deaths, destruction and displacement are without precedent in the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The war has divided Israelis while the offensive threatens to ignite a wider conflict involving Iran-backed g...

Unlike Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump before him, Phillips said he would bring political rivals together to solve the country's biggest challenges. The Minnesota congressman who's challenging Biden for the Democratic nomination said he would appoint Democrats and Republicans to his Cabinet, adopt fiscally conservative values and take an "all-hands-on-deck" approach to ending homelessness in...

Panama Canal Administrator Ricaurte Vásquez now estimates that dipping water levels could cost them between $500 million and $700 million in 2024, compared to previous estimates of $200 million. https://www.startribune.com/pa...

January 19, 2024 (SAINT PAUL) – Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison joined a bipartisan coalition of attorneys general and the U.S. Department of Justice in filing an antitrust lawsuit challenging the NCAA’s transfer-eligibility rule as an illegal restraint on college athletes’ ability to sell their own image and likeness and control their own education. “Banning athletes from competing for a year after they transfer schools a second time is arbitrary, unjust, and in my opinion, illegal,” said Attorney General Ellison. “I am proud to be st...
