WASHINGTON - A judge on Monday set a March 4, 2024, trial date for Donald Trump in the federal case in Washington charging the former president with trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election, rejecting a defense request to push back the case by years. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan rebuffed claims by Trump's attorneys that an April 2026 trial date was necessary to account for the huge volume of evidence they say they are reviewing and to prepare for what they contend is a novel and...

A motorist was not breaking the law when he picked up and glanced at his ringing cellphone while behind the wheel to see who was calling before he crashed his truck, a state Court of Appeals panel ruled Monday. The precedent-setting ruling reverses the McLeod County District Court jury's petty misdemeanor conviction in September of Roger A. Gutzke, 77, for using his cellphone while hauling soybeans on Oct. 8, 2021, from his farm home north of Glencoe to a farm co-op in nearby Brownton. The conviction carried an $85 fine. "Because the state's...

Dear Editor, As someone who works across Minnesota helping communities harness the benefits of clean energy, I am impressed by Northwest Minnesota community clean energy efforts. Take the City of Warren, for example. Recently, the city created the “Design for Community Regeneration” (D4CR) as a way to plan their resilient future. The project lays out a plan for food, water, and energy securities. Support from the organization I work for, the Clean Energy Resource Teams, helped the city dig into the energy security aspects. This is just one imp...

Those areas are entirely within the U.S. and under Michigan’s jurisdiction. The agreement “respects and promotes tribal fishing rights and opportunities, yet it also preserves the Great...
