DULUTH – Five weeks before the election, President Donald Trump was back in Minnesota on Wednesday, raising money and rallying a few thousand supporters on a cold, blustery night. He claimed credit for adding jobs to the Iron Range, a refrain he also sounded a year ago when visiting Minneapolis, and expressed support for some of the area's most controversial topics, including copper-nickel mining near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and replacing the aging Line 3 Enbridge oil p...

Simon noted that Minnesotans have voted absentee since World War II. Trump's...
The Twins at least are getting more efficient in their playoff retreats. They didn't even make it to October this time. The most bizarre season in baseball history ended in the most familiar way possible for the Twins on Wednesday: A meek loss, this time 3-1 to the Astros, and an unceremonious sweep out of the playoffs. Barely 70 hours after celebrating their AL Central championship and reiterating their World Series ambitions, the Twins packed up for an extra-long winter, their offense already...
Sixteen COVID-19 deaths were reported Wednesday by Minnesota health authorities, who urged people to seek flu shots to prevent seasonal influenza from exacerbating a worsening pandemic.

The state is now reporting 17 new infections with the...
WASHINGTON – Of the flood of misinformation, conspiracy theories and falsehoods seeding the internet on the coronavirus, one common thread stands out: President Donald Trump. That is the conclusion of researchers at Cornell University who analyzed 38 million articles about the pandemic in English-language media around the world. Mentions of Trump made up nearly 38% of the overall "misinformation conversation," making the president the largest driver of the "infodemic" - falsehoods involving t...
WASHINGTON - By a sweeping bipartisan vote Wednesday, the Senate sent President Donald Trump a bill to fund the government through Dec. 11, averting the possibility of a government shutdown when the new fiscal year starts Thursday.

There was no immediate impact after the bill wasn't signed into law by the midnight...
St. Paul, MN - Tonight, DFL Party Chairman Ken Martin released the following statement in response President Trump’s speech in Duluth: “Rather than address the COVID-19 pandemic that has claimed more than 2,000 lives in our state, an economy in recession, and closed-down schools and businesses, President Trump spent his time in Minnesota airing his petty grievances and attempting to divide us. We know better. We know that Minnesota is at its very best when we come together to address our shared challenges. Nothing Donald Trump says can dis...

A pair of tribal citizens is blazing trails this November in races for top state courts. The first Native American to serve on Washington’s state Supreme Court is hoping to maintain the seat she was appointed to late last year, while Michigan’s election appears to feature the first Indigenous person ever nominated to run for the state’s high court. Raquel Montoya-Lewis, Isleta Pueblo, was sworn in as a Washington Supreme Court justice in January after the state’s Democratic governor chose her to replace a retiring judge. In Michigan, the Lib...
This was maybe the worst presidential debate in American history. If this was supposed to be a boxing match, it instead turned into President Trump jumping on the ropes, refusing to come down, the referee trying to coax him off, and Joe Biden standing in the middle of the ring with his gloves on and a confused look on his face. Trump doesn't play by anyone's rules, even those he's agreed to beforehand. He's prided himself on that. But even by his standards, what Trump did Tuesday night crossed many lines. https://www.npr.org...
New York (CNN) - Elementary school students in New York City streamed back into classrooms with masks, temperature checks and globs of hand sanitizer on Tuesday as the nation's largest school district tries to safely open schools amid the coronavirus pandemic.

New York City's daily positivity rate rose to 3.25%, the first time it has gone...
The South Carolina Supreme Court is expected to rule soon on whether Republican Gov. Henry McMaster can use $32 million in federal pandemic relief funds for a voucher program to finance private school tuition for roughly 5,000 students. The case is one of several at the state and district court levels testing the boundaries of using public funds to educate students in private schools. Recent lawsuits seek to follow a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue earlier this year that weakened states’ ability t...
After positive reviews from principals, Shelby County Schools is again turning to a company that employs temporary remote teachers for openings in high school classes. On Tuesday evening, the school board approved a $392,700 contract with Proximity Learning.

A district staff member, such as a teacher assistant, would also help manage each online class. Last year, the district used remote teachers from the same...
