University of Minnesota researchers are testing residence hall sewage for COVID-19 on the Twin Cities and Duluth campuses in hopes of catching cases early and preventing outbreaks among students. The U is among a growing number of colleges nationwide experimenting with sewage testing as a public health tool that could help keep campuses open through fall semester. The University of Arizona and Utah State University recently quarantined and tested hundreds of students after dorm wastewater samples led to the discovery of undetected COVID-19...
PHILADELPHIA - Joe Biden on Sunday slammed President Donald Trump and leading Senate Republicans for trying to jam through a replacement for the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and urged more senators to stand with a pair of GOP colleagues who oppose the election-season rush. The extraordinary televised plea from the Democratic presidential candidate to Republican senators reflected the ferocious maneuvering that has followed Ginsburg's death at 87 on Friday. Her passing upended a campaign...
INDIANAPOLIS - At the end of a loss he didn't expect, which gave him a record he hasn't experienced in seven years as Vikings coach, Mike Zimmer tried to sum up a team he didn't recognize. "This team has kind of been built on controlling the time of possession, playing great in the red zone and on third downs, and we haven't been doing that very well," Zimmer said. "We're going to have to get back to work and try to figure out what's wrong because the identity of this team has not been what it...
CHICAGO – Jose Berrios is a stay-at-home kind of guy. He used the Twins' final road game of the 2020 regular season to try to keep it that way. Berrios shut out the Cubs for six innings, Max Kepler hit his first home run in almost four weeks, and Josh Donaldson contributed two hits and the game's biggest defensive play. It added up to a 4-0 victory at Wrigley Field, a win that moves the Twins back into a home-field-advantage spot in the AL playoff seeding. The Yankees' 10-game winning streak e...
LOS ANGELES - "Schitt's Creek," the little Canadian show about a fish-out-of-water family, made history at Sunday's Emmy Awards with a comedy awards sweep, something even TV greats including "Frasier" and "Modern Family" failed to achieve. The Pop TV show's awards included best comedy series and awards for its stars, including Catherine O'Hara, and father-son Eugene and Daniel Levy. "Our show at its core is about the transformational effects of love and acceptance, and this is something we need...
Julie Buerkle boarded a plane Saturday bound for Florida, but not for the beach. With travel plans nixed during the pandemic, the Roseville 54-year-old found a generous way to use her paid vacation time to help with the Hurricane Sally cleanup.

"It's really rewarding." https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-red-cross-seeks-volunteers-as-crises-escalate-across-the-u-s/572472771/...
DES MOINES, Iowa - Students in Iowa's largest school system are facing the possibility that this most unusual school year could stretch into next summer, and the district could be hit with crippling bills because of a dispute with the governor over the safety of returning to classrooms during the coronavirus pandemic. Des Moines school officials have repeatedly refused to abide by Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds' order requiring the state's 327 school districts to hold at least half their classes...
Standing in the heart of a state that has gloried in its role in helping save the Union at Gettysburg, President Donald Trump extolled at length Friday the battle prowess of a seemingly odd hero - Gen. Robert E. Lee. Some Minnesota veterans and Civil War historians were surprised to hear the commander-in-chief lavish praise on a man who led the Confederacy's fight against Americans trying to preserve the Union. "Had he won, we would be two countries," state Sen. Jerry Newton, a veteran who...
Hours before President Donald Trump's rally in Bemidji on Friday, Democratic challenger Joe Biden flew to Duluth to meet with union members who could be a bulwark of DFL support in an increasingly Republican swath of northern Minnesota. While Biden met with a handful of labor leaders at the Jerry Alander Carpenter Training Center in Hermantown, the Trump campaign organized a large airport rally in Bemidji, an area that supported him overwhelmingly in 2016, though he narrowly lost the state to...

St. Paul, MN - Today, DFL Party Chairman Ken Martin released the following statement in response to reports that Vice President Pence will visit Minneapolis, Minnesota next Thursday: “There is nothing Pence can say to Minnesotans that will distract the reality of the Trump administration’s failed leadership in our state. As we near 2,000 coronavirus deaths in Minnesota and an economic crisis that is devastating small businesses and hard-working families, Donald Trump and Mike Pence have abandoned states and left us to fend for ourselves. Tru...

Bemidji Mayor Rita Albrecht learned about the president's historic visit to her city from a report in the Star Tribune. Though Donald Trump announced plans last week to hold an outdoor rally at a Bemidji airport hangar - which Albrecht said will be the first-ever presidential stop in the city - the mayor said the airport's manager had to ask the private aircraft company hosting the president to actually confirm the Friday visit. That way Bemidji could plan for an event that may draw thousands...

(Washington, D.C.) - Congressman Collin Peterson is asking for clarification on the exclusion of Minnesota counties in the Risk Management Agency's (RMA) decision to permit farmers who planted cover crops on prevented plant acres in select counties in North and South Dakota to hay, graze, or chop those fields beginning September 1st rather November 1st. In a letter to USDA Under Secretary Bill Northey, Peterson stated that counties in Minnesota faced similar conditions to those faced in the Dakotas, and questioned why producers in those...
BURLINGTON, September 18 — Sen. Bernie Sanders issued the following statement on the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: "The passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a tremendous loss to our country. She was an extraordinary champion of justice and equal rights, and will be remembered as one of the great justices in modern American history. "Unfortunately, we’ve already heard tonight from Sen. McConnell that he has decided to go against Justice Ginsburg’s dying wishes and violate his own past statements in order to bring...
The death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday at age 87 will inevitably set in motion what promises to be a nasty political battle over who will succeed her at the Supreme Court. Just days before her death, as her strength waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: "My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed." She knew what was to come. Ginsburg's death will have profound consequences for the court and the country. Inside the court, not only is the leader of the...
