Minnesota is increasing its search for more infectious strains of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, hoping to identify any troubling variants that could reverse the sharp declines in pandemic activity over the last month. Four of five key pandemic measures are below Minnesota's high-risk thresholds for the first time since last summer - with the positivity rate of diagnostic testing dropping to a near-record low of 3.4% on Wednesday and the daily rate of new infections receding below 10 per...
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin should receive probation instead of prison time for murdering George Floyd because he has no criminal history, has a strong support network and would likely be targeted for violence in prison, his attorney argued in a new court filing. If the court refuses to grant probation at Chauvin's sentencing on June 25, defense attorney Eric Nelson wrote, it should hand down a prison term lower than recommended by state sentencing guidelines. "Mr. Chauvin...
Layoff notices went out to more than 38,000 state employees over the holiday weekend as Minnesota officials prepare for the possibility of a government shutdown. Gov. Tim Walz and leaders in Minnesota's divided Legislature say the notices are hopefully just a formality as they continue work behind the scenes to finalize the state's $52 billion two-year budget. Yet a handful of major sticking points remain unresolved and work has progressed more slowly than anticipated since the regular session...
WASHINGTON - For nearly an hour, President Joe Biden and the top Senate Republican negotiating infrastructure met Wednesday behind closed doors - two seasoned legislators engaged in another round of conversations, but emerging with few outward signs of tangible progress ahead of a deadline next week. The White House billed the private meeting as more of a conversation with West Virginia GOP Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, rather than a formal negotiation. No new offers were expected to be presented....
Former President Donald Trump is going to have to find a new way to reach his MAGA supporters. The exiled tweeter in chief scrapped his personal blog after less than a month amid poor readership numbers and his indefinite ban from social media. Once hosted on donaldjtrump.com, the "From the Desk of Donald J. Trump" blog now does not appear. Instead, supporters are offered the chance to sign up for news updates delivered to their email or phone. https://www.startribune.com/tru...
A judge sentenced a Richfield man to two years and nine months in prison Wednesday for conspiring to set fire to Target's corporate headquarters in Minneapolis last August. Shador Tommie Cortez Jackson, 24, was among a group of hundreds who gathered downtown on Aug. 6 following online rumors that police had shot and killed a Black man on Nicollet Mall. Police quickly released footage showing the man, a suspect in a murder case, had shot himself when officers came to arrest him. But the false...
TEHRAN, Iran - The largest warship in the Iranian navy caught fire and later sank Wednesday in the Gulf of Oman under unclear circumstances, the latest calamity to strike one of the country's vessels in recent years amid tensions with the West. The blaze began around 2:25 a.m. and firefighters tried to contain it, the Fars news agency reported, but their efforts failed to save the 207-meter (679-foot) Kharg, which was used to resupply other ships in the fleet at sea and conduct training...
WASHINGTON - Julesa Webb resumed an old habit: serving her children three meals a day. Corrine Young paid the water bill and stopped bathing at her neighbor's apartment. Chenetta Ray cried, thanked Jesus and rushed to spend the money on a medical test to treat her cancer. In offering most Americans two more rounds of stimulus checks in the past six months, totaling $2,000 per person, the federal government effectively conducted a huge experiment in safety net policy. Supporters said a quick,...

WASHINGTON - The Department of the Interior announced Tuesday that it has suspended the implementation of a Trump-era oil and gas leasing program on the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). The suspension comes after an executive order issued by President Joe Biden on his first day in office. The Coastal Plain makes up about 1.5 million acres of ANWR's roughly 19 million acres, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. On Jan. 6, more than 437,000 acres of land on the...
Valholly Frank is 18 years old. She grew up in South Florida, spending her time between the Big Cypress Reservation, one of the six reservations of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, and Weston in Broward County. The rising tides of water, whether from a hurricane, storm surge or king tide, surround her and her community, from Miami to the reservation. She, like many in South Florida, have watched as poor planning and policy have layered more problems on top of climate change, including impending oil drilling, and brackish water and blue green...
