Minnesotans pushing for police accountability called a public safety deal at the State Capitol a disappointment, while Republicans touted it as a way to help law enforcement do their job. Police will have new regulations on no-knock warrants and how they work with confidential informants under the agreement, and there is an updated expectation for mental health crisis teams to help respond to some emergencies.

He had just told the audience at his New Jersey high school's graduation ceremony that he came out as queer in his freshman year.

Tull walked onstage and took the microphone from its stand. https://w...

Carrying her own supplies, she'd traversed the Rocky Mountains on terrain so rough that at times she had to carry her bike. Through inclement weather and on minimal sleep, she'd made it in 23 days. When Houchin arrived at the finish line of the Tour Divide - the country's most grueling, off-pavement, self-supported cycling race - she found no ribbon to break, no...
