Candace Falk got the call from the assisted-living facility in Hugo on May 14: Her 83-year-old mother had tested positive for the coronavirus. She was assured that her mother, Gladys, was not showing symptoms and that staff at the senior home would provide the family with regular updates on her condition. Instead, it was the last time that Falk would hear from the facility, Encore at Hugo, until two weeks later when a nurse found her mother in a laundry basket, bruised and disoriented. Her...
Minnesota lawmakers returned to the State Capitol on Monday hoping to resolve continuing partisan differences on police accountability, a major public works package and several tax and spending measures. But first they faced off over Gov. Tim Walz's decision to extend his emergency powers for another 30 days to respond to the coronavirus pandemic, a move that prompted the second legislative session of the summer, just four months ahead of the November elections. As expected, the Republican-led...
WASHINGTON - The Washington NFL franchise announced Monday it is dropping the "Redskins" name and Indian head logo, bowing to recent pressure from sponsors and decades of criticism that they are offensive to Native Americans. A new name must still be selected for one of the oldest and most storied teams in the National Football League, and it's unclear how soon that will happen. But for now, arguably the most polarizing name in North American professional sports is gone at a time of reckoning...
The partisan divide was apparent on the face of every Minnesota lawmaker gathered for the private meeting at the State Capitol in June. It was the closing hours of the last special session and the group of dealmakers remained at odds on the intricacies of police reform. But before negotiations even began, there was a stark contrast: Every Democrat entered the room with a face covering; but not one Republican wore a mask. The face mask - a basic item health officials consider a simple precaution...
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Mars is about to be invaded by planet Earth — big time. Three countries — the United States, China and the United Arab Emirates — are sending unmanned spacecraft to the red planet in quick succession beginning this week, in the most sweeping effort yet to seek signs of ancient microscopic life while scouting out the place for future astronauts. The U.S., for its part, is dispatching a six-wheeled rover the size of a car, named Perseverance, to collect rock samples that will be brought back to Earth for analysis in abou...
ROCHESTER, Minn. -- On a day when two states -- California and Louisiana -- opted to join Texas, Florida and Las Vegas in closing bars and restaurants again to slow the second outbreak of COVID-19, Minnesota health officials reiterated that the state has specific capacity limits and distancing requirements for dining and drinking establishments. They also reminded the public that those who spot violations have the resources to report establishments that fall short. "When Gov. Walz turned the...

The settlement with Frontier concludes the three major investigations and lawsuits that the Attorney General’s office launched into Minnesota’s major telecoms providers for deceptive, misleading, and fraudulent practices.

BEMIDJI -- Murder and assault charges were dismissed for an 18-year-old Red Lake man who was charged following a fatal shooting at a Bemidji home in February. A grand jury in June chose to indict Antonio Parkhurst for carrying a weapon without a permit. In February, Parkhurst was originally charged by the Beltrami County Attorney's Office with second-degree murder and second-degree assault but those charges were dismissed after the grand jury found sufficient evidence for Parkhurst to be charged...
July 13, 2020 (SAINT PAUL) — Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison today announced that four seasoned attorneys and trial lawyers have joined on a pro bono basis the prosecution team he leads in the George Floyd case. This team includes attorneys from the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office and the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office. “Out of respect for Judge Cahill’s gag order, I will say simply that I’ve put together an exceptional team with experience and expertise across many disciplines. We are united in our responsibility to pursue j...

"It’s never too late to do the right thing," said Billy Mills, Olympic Gold medalist and National Spokesperson for Running Strong for American Indian Youth. “Now I urge the Washington football team to truly turn the page, and pick a new name and logo with...
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Gov. Tim Walz has announced he is extending the state’s peacetime state of emergency due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as the number of positive cases in Minnesota has been on the rise. The governor had previously extended the emergency order back in the middle of June. It was set to expire on Monday. The initial state of emergency was issued by Walz on March 16. “COVID-19 continues to present an unprecedented and rapidly evolving challenge to our state,” Walz said. “The peacetime emergency has provided us tools to...

U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos brought little clarity to the Trump administration's aggressive push to reopen schools in a pair of television interviews Sunday. Pressed on how schools in areas with high rates of the coronavirus should protect children and communities, she provided few details. Also unclear: the details of repeated threats made by DeVos and President Donald Trump to withhold federal funds from schools that don't reopen, and exactly what a satisfactory school reopening would look like. The interviews—on CNN's State of t...
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused President Donald Trump of “messing with” children’s health on Sunday and said federal guidelines on reopening schools amid the coronavirus outbreak should be mandatory. The Democratic House of Representatives leader sharply criticized the Trump administration for advocating a return to school in the fall as coronavirus infections surge across the country, particularly in states that reopened their economies earliest during the pandemic. The federal government can make the Centers for D...
As coronavirus cases spike across California, some school districts are making the decision to keep campuses closed to most students and to educate them online next school year. Districts in Los Angeles County, which has more coronavirus cases than any county in the state, are preparing for the possibility of classes being completely online at the start of the school year. In neighboring San Bernardino County, its school district this week announced classes would resume next month online. In Northern California, East Side Union High School...
(CNN) - Detroit Public Schools are scheduled to open their doors Monday for the start of summer classes. It will be the first time schools will welcome back students for face-to-face instruction since the district closed in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Superintendent Nikolai Vitti said he sees a "desperate demand" for in-person learning, and that online teaching isn't a "one size fits all" approach. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/07/10/us/coronavirus-schools-detroit/index.html...
When Congress passed a coronavirus relief package at the end of March, it offered schools a $13.2 billion lifeline to cope with the many unexpected costs of the coronavirus pandemic. But just over three months later, many districts have yet to benefit from the main pot of federal money meant to help schools. That’s true for a variety of reasons. In many states, school leaders have had to submit multiple rounds of paperwork to get their money, which takes time. In several states, CARES Act funds are being used to make up for state cuts to e...
Many of them call when they feel there is nowhere else to turn. The girl whose brother was brought home by the pandemic and began to abuse her again. The victim separated from her favorite teacher after a coronavirus-related school closure. The child who urgently needed help calling 911. As the coronavirus pandemic has engulfed the country, more children are reaching out to the Rape Abuse and Incest National Network's National Sexual Assault Hotline, which said this week it's experiencing its highest demand for services in its 26-year history....
