  • The Great Grift: How billions in COVID-19 relief aid was stolen or wasted

    Jun 13, 2023

    WASHINGTON — Much of the theft was brazen, even simple. Fraudsters used the Social Security numbers of dead people and federal prisoners to get unemployment checks. Cheaters collected those benefits in multiple states. And federal loan applicants weren't cross-checked against a Treasury Department database that would have raised red flags about sketchy borrowers. Criminals and gangs grabbed the money. But so did a U.S. soldier in Georgia, the pastors of a defunct church in Texas, a former state lawmaker in Missouri and a roofing contractor...

  • 5 things to know about how COVID-19 relief aid was stolen or wasted

    Jun 13, 2023

    WASHINGTON - The greatest grift in U.S. history was brazen, even simple. Criminals and gangs grabbed the money. So did an U.S. soldier in Georgia, the pastors of a defunct church in Texas, a former state lawmaker in Missouri and a roofing contractor in Montana. Over the last three years, thieves plundered billions of dollars in federal COVID-19 relief aid intended to combat the worst pandemic in a century and to stabilize an economy in free fall. Here are some key takeaways from an Associated...

  • Summertime drought returns to Minnesota, with little rain in sight

    Jun 13, 2023

    Most of Minnesota is abnormally dry, with some areas officially reaching drought stage, and forecasters said conditions are unlikely to improve in the next few weeks. About 72% of the state is drier than typical, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. Twelve percent - including patches along the North Shore, a zone stretching from the northern Twin Cities to St. Cloud to Lake Mille Lacs, and three small areas on the state's western edge and southeast tip - are in moderate drought. During this...

  • A county road project threatened Hmong farmers' fields. Then the Legislature stepped in

    Jun 13, 2023

    Judy Yang spent her Monday weeding, watering and preparing to plant broccoli, cabbage, sweet corn and other crops in rural Dakota County, where she's part of a Hmong farmers collective. Until recently, the county had proposed condemning up to 20 acres of that farmland for a new highway exchange. That could have eliminated the plots of several of the Hmong American Farmers Association's small-scale farmers, who make up more than half the growers at Twin Cities farmers markets. The Legislature...

  • St. Cloud woman pleads guilty in two homicide cases

    Jun 13, 2023

    ST. CLOUD - A 35-year-old St. Cloud woman pleaded guilty late last week for her part in two homicides in 2021, as well as for promoting prostitution from behind bars earlier this year. Angela R. Jones was charged two years ago in Stearns County District Court for her connection to two homicides: the deaths of 28-year-old Janesa Harris, who was fatally shot in her St. Cloud apartment, and 25-year-old Keisa Lange, who was shot in the head and left on the side of the road on the far south side of the city. Court documents fail to provide a clear...

    Jun 13, 2023

Trump's Tuesday afternoon appearance in Miami will mark his second time since April facing a judge on criminal charges. But unlike a New York case some legal analysts derided as relatively trivial, the Justice Department's first prosecution of...
