  • 'Flurry of negotiations' on Minnesota Legislature's final day

    May 18, 2020

    May 18, 2020

Tim Walz issued a peacetime emergency March 13 are still valid. Expiration dates for any license...

  • Bonding bill in limbo as Minnesota lawmakers race toward deadline

    May 18, 2020

The sticking point: House Republicans in the minority vowed to block a bonding bill until Gov. Tim...

In the same symbolic spirit, it is time for the establishment of a national “death clock” to measure the cost in human lives of President Trump and his team’s reckless handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
