Members of a Native American nonprofit in St. Paul say they feel disrespected by the city's daily newspaper for hiding its annual Treasure Hunt medallion in a nature sanctuary east of downtown that the group manages and considers sacred land. "I hate to make the comparison, but it's like basically digging around in a church," said Jenna Grey Eagle, an environmental justice and stewardship programs manager for the nonprofit, Wakan Tipi Awanyankapi. "It's strictly just disrespect." The Pioneer...
Higher mortgage rates - and a lack of house listings - stifled buyers in the Twin Cities metro last year, causing sales to fall to the lowest level in more than 20 years. Still, with strong demand and too few options, sale prices managed to eke out a modest gain as buyers battled for a dwindling number of properties. "We saw fewer listings and fewer sales; and yet higher prices, surprisingly strong offers and relatively quick market times," said Amy Peterson, president of the St. Paul Area...
The first major domino of the Twins offseason fell Monday when Jorge Polanco, the longest-tenured player on the team, was traded to the Seattle Mariners in a five-player deal. The Twins received righthanded starter Anthony DeSclafani, reliever Justin Topa and minor leaguers Gabriel Gonzalez and Darren Bowen in exchange for Polanco, the switch-hitting second baseman who has been a regular part of the Twins infield since 2016. The Twins will receive cash in the deal to offset salaries. Polanco,...

"So, Rosa, what does the whole sentence say?" Maricle said. There's murmuring in the rows. Some are in coats. One young man wears headphones. Kids color in the back. https://www.startribune.com/many-workers-displaced-by-slaughterhouse-closure-remain-in-windom-awaiting-opportunity/600339417/...
Someone tried to draw police and a hostage negotiator to the Delano home of U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer over the weekend by claiming a murder had taken place inside, the Wright County Sheriff's Office says. The five-term Republican posted about it on X Saturday. "Tonight my family and I were the target of a 'swatting' incident involving a 911 prank call that wrongly diverted a police presence to my home," Emmer wrote. He noted that other elected officials around the country have been similarly targeted...
Krystal Gabel said she was surprised at 5 a.m. on a recent Friday by a Google alert saying she was a candidate for president of the United States. The Colorado resident clicked on the alert and learned for the first time that her name had been placed on Minnesota's March 5 presidential primary ballot as a candidate for Minnesota's Legal Marijuana Now Party, she said. "I did not give consent to be on the Minnesota ballot for this race," Gabel said in an email to the Star Tribune. "I was neither approached to run for office by anyone in the LMN...
The shooting deaths of a woman, her son and and her husband late last week in the family's Coon Rapids home have been tied to illicit drug dealing by one of the victims and a demand for money by the gunman, according to court documents filed Monday.

Mingo, 37, of Fridley, was charged Monday afternoon with three counts of second-degree intentional murder in connection with the killings that occurred midday Friday at a house in the 200 block of NW. 94th Avenue, according to the Anoka...

Here are five options the Vikings could be pondering as the April 25-27 draft approaches: 1. Trade up to the No. 7 pick and...
As the state tries to find ways to meet its pledge of a carbon-free electric grid by 2040, a push to streamline the state's permitting system for renewable energy projects and transmission lines is gaining momentum ahead of the legislative session that begins in mid-February. While an effort to nix a contentious rule that can limit solar development on what's known as "prime farmland" has already stalled, a new and potentially influential task force report includes dozens of other ideas to...
COLUMBIA, S.C. — President Joe Biden said Sunday that the U.S. ''shall respond'' after three American troops were killed and dozens more were injured in an overnight drone strike in northeast Jordan near the Syrian border.

Biden, who was traveling in South Carolina, asked for a moment of silence during an appearance at a Baptist church's banquet hall. '...
ANGOLA, La. - A hidden path to America's dinner tables begins here, at an unlikely source – a former Southern slave plantation that is now the country's largest maximum-security prison. Unmarked trucks packed with prison-raised cattle roll out of the Louisiana State Penitentiary, where men are sentenced to hard labor and forced to work, for pennies an hour or sometimes nothing at all. After rumbling down a country road to an auction house, the cows are bought by a local rancher and then f...

WORTHINGTON - When science teacher Jose Morales Collazo first began teaching at Worthington High School, he said he quickly noticed a lack of diversity when it came to celebrations and activities, especially considering the rapidly diversifying population of Worthington.
