Two years after a massive tent encampment in south Minneapolis brought attention to the state's growing homeless population, people have returned to pitch tents at what was called the Wall of Forgotten Natives. More than 40 tents flapped in the wind against the wall and next to speeding traffic between Hiawatha and Franklin avenues Thursday. The group decided to move there after their previous camp, on a city-owned lot at 2313 S. 13th Av., was cleared by the city Wednesday. Native leaders and...
KENOSHA, Wis. - Joe Biden told residents of Kenosha, Wisconsin, that recent turmoil following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, could help Americans confront centuries of systemic racism, drawing a sharp contrast with President Donald Trump amid a reckoning that has galvanized the nation. "We're finally now getting to the point where we're going to be addressing the original sin of this country, 400 years old ... slavery and all the vestiges of it," Biden said at Grace Lutheran...
Late one night a few weeks after George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police, a loud knocking came on Jaquita Morris' door, and two of her sons tumbled into the family's North Side home. But her annoyance turned to shock, then anger when the boys, 19 and 14, told her they were waiting for a bus to their older brother's house when they saw two white men wearing all-white "KKK gear" appear from behind a bush and start running after the terrified teenagers before they reached safety. As south...

Gov. Tim Walz urged Minnesotans to stick with COVID-19 safety strategies of mask-wearing and social distancing heading into a Labor Day weekend that could have a "big impact" on the rise or fall of the pandemic in the state. "Six months ago it was my hope that we would be ... going to the State Fair, watching high school football, gathering to watch the Gophers on Saturday, all of those things," Walz said Thursday. "Well, the virus has not allowed us to do that, and we have to remain vigilant....

St. Paul police are investigating overnight shootings that killed a woman and left another in critical condition Thursday following an attempted robbery. The fatality sent officers to the city's East Side around 3:30 a.m., where a bystander had called 911 to report a woman shot numerous times. Responders found the victim outside a home in the 800 block of E. Cook Avenue, just east of Arcade Street. She could not be revived. A motive for the killing was not immediately clear, but investigators...
Linden Hills Co-op, Eastside Food Co-op and Kowalski's Market are still adding $2 an hour hazard pay to their workers' wages for another month. However, most of the temporary pay bumps put into effect as the coronavirus pandemic started to hit the U.S. have expired. Some retailers have permanently raised wages, but for the most part, as demand for grocery staples levels off, the hazard pay is going away as well. "The hazard pay is an important acknowledgment from employers that employees are...
ST. PAUL -- After four decades at Grand View Lodge, Mark Ronnei usually knows what to expect every summer at the popular Nisswa, Minn., resort. But this isn't a normal summer. "The day before Memorial Day, I didn't know if I was going to have a terrible summer or a non-existent summer," said Ronnei, Grand View's managing director. When it came to summer travel during the COVID-19 pandemic, resorts and campgrounds in Greater Minnesota were among the bright spots, according to Explore Minnesota,...

Of all the people to join the anti-police movement in Minnesota, we really, really would not have predicted the mayor of Nisswa. Just a couple months ago, Fred Heidmann was in the news for social media support of a local teacher named Kara Hall, who'd written, of protests following George Floyd's murder by Minneapolis police: "I know all I see are scary, awful blacks [sic] people robbing businesses that don't deserve this." Heidmann, who could've said nothing, instead replied to add that "what...

As I've traveled across Minnesota, I've seen the important role that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) plays in the lives of people across our state. From small towns and rural communities to our largest cities, millions of Minnesotans depend upon the USPS to deliver the letters and packages that fuel their lives and our state's economy. And in 2020, the mail is how hundreds of thousands of our state's residents plan to vote. In the past several weeks, I've raised deep concerns about the recent...
