  • Minnesota Republicans decry legislative session as partisan, seek to win back House

    May 24, 2023

    Minnesota Republicans have their sights set on winning back the state House in next year's election after the DFL-controlled Legislature enacted a sweeping agenda that spent much of the state's $17.5 billion surplus.

  • More U.S. women are working than ever, reversing pandemic slump

    May 24, 2023

    Three years ago, a global pandemic triggered a so-called "she-cession," as millions of women lost their jobs or left the workforce to care for loved ones. Now, they're leading the recovery. Companies have more women on their payrolls than ever before, in part because of a steady rise in the share of women ages 25 to 54 who are employed or searching for work. The participation rate for that group climbed to a record high of 77.5% in April, surpassing a peak reached in 2000, according to...

  • Sweeping Maine Tribal Sovereignty Effort Likely Won't Happen Until 2024

    May 24, 2023

    UGUSTA, Maine - A sweeping overhaul of the state-tribal relationship is likely to be pushed into 2024 due to a need to lock down Republican support and little time to do so. This story was originally published in the Bangor Daily News. Tribes have made considerable progress in the Democratic-controlled State House over the past year, but action has been delayed on the wider effort in large part due to Gov. Janet Mills' opposition to rewriting the landmark 1980 settlement that settled a massive...
