Gov. Tim Walz got his flu shot in a public event Tuesday, urging Minnesotans to follow his example and to seek the new booster to protect against COVID-19 once it arrives. The pandemic public health emergency might be over, but Walz said COVID has reached a persistent - if low - endemic state that was predicted years ago. "The good news is, unlike the past four years, or certainly the first three years [of the pandemic], we have a lot of tools to manage this," he said before receiving the flu...
My first sportswriting job was at the Duluth News-Tribune and Herald, starting in December 1965 as a 20-year-old and for the kingly sum of $76.08 per week. The frightening part was being in a city enamored of hockey to the point it was building a new arena to house the Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs - and my experience with the sport had been watching the 1960 U.S. Olympic team defeat Czechoslovakia to clinch the gold medal on a small-screen black-and-white television. Sports editor Bruce Bennett...
WASHINGTON — Facing fresh challenges to his leadership, Speaker Kevin McCarthy is trying to accomplish what at times seems impossible — working furiously to convince House Republicans to come together and pass a conservative bill to keep the federal government open. It's a nearly futile exercise that could help McCarthy keep his job, but has little chance of actually preventing a federal shutdown. Whatever House Republicans come up with is nearly certain to be rejected by the Senate, where Democrats and most Republicans want to fund the gov...

UNITED NATIONS - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday that Russia is ''weaponizing'' everything from food and energy to abducted children in its war against Ukraine - and he warned world leaders that the same could happen to them.

There were thousands of...
With a few words late on a Friday in 2021, President Biden sent Justice Department leadership scrambling. The president told reporters that federal prosecutors should indict Stephen K. Bannon, a former aide to President Donald Trump who was refusing congressional demands to testify about events leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Attorney General Merrick Garland and his aides wanted to make clear they would not take orders, or even suggestions, from the White House on criminal...
