President Donald Trump's praise of a nearly all white crowd's "good genes" came during a Friday night rally in Bemidji where he also sharpened attacks on refugees. He opened his speech by calling the group "hardworking American patriots" and raising alarms that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden would flood the state with Somali refugees. Trump said near the end of his wide-ranging, nearly two-hour speech that the state was pioneered by men and women who were tough and strong and braved...
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump met Monday with Judge Amy Coney Barrett at the White House as the conservative jurist emerged as a favorite to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, the start of a monumental Senate confirmation fight over objections from Democrats it's too close to the November election. Trump said he expects to announce his pick by week's end, before the burial of Ginsburg, the court's liberal icon, at Arlington National Cemetery. The president told...
A CDC flip-flop over whether tiny aerosols can spread the virus that causes COVID-19 through the air is not impacting Minnesota's response to the pandemic. Many public health experts were surprised after the CDC on Friday stated that aerosols are a primary means of COVID-19 transmission - with some researchers claiming this risk has been underappreciated for months - but then they were equally surprised Monday when the federal agency withdrew the statement. Minnesota health officials from the...
The Twins' five remaining regular season games and, they hope, a first-round playoff series, will be played at Target Field.

The entire 40-man roster, along with several family members and a few dozen staff members, will check in to a nearby hotel on Tuesday, and begin life under a strict quarantine. No more being politely asked to follow COVID-19 recommendations, no more do-your-best-to-stay-safe admonitions...

ROCHESTER, Minn. - State health officials conceded on Monday, Sept. 21, that a visit by President Donald Trump to Bemidji on Friday, Sept. 18, ignored state requirements to limit attendance to outdoor events to 250 persons, guidance that Gov. Tim Walz had outlined in a public letter early last week. Estimates placed the actual number in Bemidji to see Trump at 2,000, and there appeared to have been no formal social distancing. While restaurants and bars that ignore crowd limit guidance have...

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a pioneer in the women's rights movement and the second woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, died Friday at age 87 due to complications of pancreatic cancer. On education issues arising during her 27 years on the court, Ginsburg was a stalwart vote for sex equity in schools, expansive desegregation remedies, strict separation of church and state, and, in a memorable dissent, against broader drug testing of students. "A prime part of the history of our...
EVANSTON, Ill. --- In 2016, a Black family on average had $10 in wealth for every $100 in wealth the average white family had. But white Americans, on average, thought it was about $70. The discrepancy in perception among white Americans shows a far more optimistic view of the racial progress that has been made since the 1960s, according to a new study by Ivy Onyeador, a professor at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. In 1963, for every $100 in wealth a white family had, the average Black family had around $5. White A...
