Republicans' push for voter ID and a provisional ballot system appears to have failed at the Minnesota Capitol, and Democrats' hopes to expand voter access and felon voting rights have fallen by the wayside, too. A deal on the bill that helps fund elections - among many other aspects of state government - leaves out controversial voting provisions that have been sources of contention in Minnesota and across the country. "In the end, I think neither side was 100% happy with it, but I think...

The defining moments of the MLB season so far came Tuesday, when Max Scherzer glared at Joe Girardi and Sergio Romo dropped his pants. MLB action, it's fantastic? Not really, but that's the mess baseball created first by letting pitchers cheat with increasing frequency and with more and more exotic substances, and then ushering in a sweeping crackdown on such things in the middle of this season. https://www.startribune.com/tempers-flare-pants-drop-during-crackdown-on-cheating...
LOS ANGELES - After 13 years of near silence in the conservatorship that controls her life and money, Britney Spears passionately told a judge Wednesday that she wants to end the "abusive" case that has made her feel demoralized and enslaved. Speaking in open court for the first time in the case, Spears condemned her father and others who control the conservatorship, which she said has compelled her to use birth control and take other medications against her will, and prevented her from getting...
Pop-up state COVID-19 testing sites are closing in St. Paul on Thursday and Minneapolis and Bloomington on Friday amid continued declines in pandemic activity. While the closures take away some convenient options in the Twin Cities, state health officials said the sites had become redundant given the low rate of people seeking tests and the high number of clinics and medical facilities with testing capacity. More than 10 million COVID-19 tests have been performed in Minnesota, but the usage...
NAIROBI, Kenya - An airstrike hit a busy market in Ethiopia's northern Tigray village of Togoga on Tuesday and killed at least 51 people, according to health workers who said soldiers blocked medical teams from traveling to the scene.

Intensive care beds are filling up with surprisingly young, unvaccinated patients, and staff members are getting burned out fighting a battle that was supposed to be in its final throes. The hope among...
WASHINGTON - A bipartisan group of senators reached a tentative framework on a $953 billion infrastructure deal Wednesday ahead of a crucial meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House.

GENEVA — Canada and 40 other countries on Tuesday urged China to allow "immediate, meaningful and unfettered access" so independent observers can visit its western Xinjiang region, while a Chinese envoy demanded that Canadian authorities "stop violations of human rights" at home. The mutual finger-pointing, which preceded admissions from Canada's envoy about shortcomings in her country's rights record, came in a debate at the Human Rights Council, the U.N.'s top human rights body. The showdown in the largely virtual council session exposed a...

Interior Secretary Deb Haaland announced Tuesday that she is launching the Federal Indian Boarding School Truth Initiative, a first-of-its-kind comprehensive review of the “devastating history” of the U.S. government’s policy of forcing Native American children into boarding schools for assimilation into white culture. “At no time in history have the records or documentation of this policy been compiled or analyzed to determine the full scope of its reaches and effects,” Haaland said in remarks at a National Congress of American Indians c...
