The COVID-19 curve in the U.S. is rising again after months of decline, with the number of new cases per day doubling over the past three weeks, driven by the fast-spreading delta variant, lagging vaccination rates and Fourth of July gatherings. Confirmed infections climbed to an average of about 23,600 a day on Monday, up from 11,300 on June 23, according to Johns Hopkins University data. And all but two states - Maine and South Dakota - reported that case numbers have gone up over the past...
DULUTH – Gov. Tim Walz and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan stopped in Duluth on Tuesday to tout Minnesota's two-year state education budget passed with bipartisan support in late June, which includes the largest per-pupil funding formula increase in 15 years.

"While there were times it brought out a little of the worst of us, p...
Minnesota Rep. John Thompson's admission that he's held an out-of-state driver's license for years led a state police association on Tuesday to ask the Wisconsin attorney general to pursue charges against him, and it led one GOP senator to question the process for verifying where legislators live. The Democrat, who represents part of St. Paul's East Side, has faced sharp scrutiny related to a traffic stop on July 4 and the subsequent discovery that he has a Wisconsin driver's license. St. Paul...
PHILADELPHIA - President Joe Biden declared preserving voting rights an urgent national "test of our time" on Tuesday but offered few concrete proposals to meet it. Texas Democrats took their own dramatic action to stymie Republican efforts to tighten ballot restrictions in their state. Biden, who has proclaimed protecting ballot access the central cause of his presidency, has faced sharp criticism from allies for not doing more, though political headwinds and stubborn Senate math have limited...
A federal security supervisor at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport - who was already in trouble for taking a video of a boy riding on a luggage conveyor belt - also is accused of snapping dozens of photos of young females undergoing flight screening.

Broms, 37, of Savage, being charged Monday in Hennepin County District Court with a violation of government...

OKLEE, Minn. – On the surface, Tuesday was a day like any other in Oklee. Construction workers dug holes in the streets and a few people walked in and out of the post office with mail. Others stopped at the grocery store to pick up a few items. But the quiet scene in the town of about 450 people, 64 miles east of Grand Forks, belied the concern of some community members that Eric Reinbold, who is being sought by law enforcement in connection with the murder of his wife Lissette, is still at l...

ST. PAUL - The price of used cars, food, gasoline and other goods was up in the Midwest by 1% over the month in June and 5.8% over the year that month, barely beating out the increase in average prices paid by urban consumers across the country. American cities in June nonetheless observed their largest one-month and over-the-year increases in average prices since 2008, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The spike in used car and truck prices was particularly sharp, and...
CHEMAINUS, B.C. - Six miles from Chemainus, British Columbia sits Penelakut Island, formerly known as Kuper Island, which is part of the Southern Gulf Islands. From 1890 until 1975, the island was home to the Kuiper Island Industrial School. Conditions were reportedly so bad at Kuper Island, some survivors of the residential school have described it as "Canada's Alcatraz." The horrors there have also been marked by the drowning of children trying to escape the island. On Monday, the Penelakut...

Minnesota is home to one of the country’s most talented workforces. That’s no accident – it comes from years of investments by public and private sector leaders in education and training that produce strong talent for a diverse economy. One of the unique differentiators to training our workforce that many people may not be aware of is the state’s Workforce Development Fund – a payroll-tax-fueled training fund that puts serious money toward training workers for in-demand jobs across Minnesota. We are the only state in the country that has such a...
