Lane and Tou Thao made their first court appearances in the Memorial Day killing of Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who died in police custody....
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump's inability to unify the nation at a time of grave unrest is testing his uneasy alliance with mainstream Republicans, some emboldened by Gen. James Mattis' plea for a leader who lives up to the U.S. ideals of a more perfect union. Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski on Thursday called the rebuke by Trump's first Pentagon chief "necessary and overdue." "Perhaps we're getting to the point where we can be more honest with the concerns that we might hold internally, and...
George Floyd's body lay in a carefully polished gold casket reflecting a struggle and a beauty bigger than any one man.

It was an act that sparked global anger like few police brutality cases before it,...

He left Regions Hospital in St. Paul four days after starting the intravenous drug, never needing a ventilator or the...

FARGO - Gov. Tim Walz late Wednesday ordered Minnesota National Guard troops to Moorhead and surrounding communities out of concern that potential unrest over George Floyd's death could spill in from North Dakota, where there has been violence amid protesting that prompted a Guard call-out in that state.

"Donald Trump isn't religious, has no need of religion, and doesn't care about the devout, except insofar as they serve his political needs. The President failed to project any of the higher emotions or leadership desperately needed in every quarter of this nation during this dire moment," Allen wrote.

So mark your calendars—this could be the beginning of the change of American d...
