  • Sugar beet harvest is the worst in decades in parts of Minnesota, North Dakota

    Nov 15, 2019

    This fall's sugar beet harvest is the worst in decades in northwestern Minnesota and North Dakota, another blow in a difficult year for American farmers and one that is quickly rippling through the nation's food supply. The reason: Rain and snow kept farmers in much of the region out of fields until the sugar beet crop had been damaged by frost. And the problem for sugar supplies broadly was made worse by the cold snap earlier this week that extended deep into the southern U.S., where sugar...

  • Family and strangers alike struggle to understand fatal beating that started on Metro Transit bus

    Nov 15, 2019

    The 75-year-old meant no harm when he turned to a group of young men sitting near him on a Metro Transit bus one afternoon last week and asked them to quiet down. Instead, the seemingly inconsequential encounter led to violence, costing Shirwa Hasan Jibril his life and leaving his family grieving at his grave site on a cold and gray November day. http://www.startribune.com/minneapolis-police-suspect-whose-one-punch-killed-elderly-bus-rider-was-egged-on/564946512/...

  • Trump wants Supreme Court to block subpoena for his taxes

    Nov 15, 2019

    WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to block a subpoena for his tax returns, in a test of the president's ability to defy investigations. The filing Thursday sets the stage for a high court showdown over the tax returns Trump has refused to release, unlike every other modern president. The justices also could weigh in more broadly on Trump's claim that sitting presidents can't be prosecuted or investigated for crimes. http://www.startribune.com/tru...

  • Burnsville church investigating charges that pastor had inappropriate sexual relationship with two teenage women years ago

    Nov 15, 2019

    Allegations that a Burnsville pastor had inappropriate sexual relationships with two teenage women 17 years ago in Indiana have shaken the congregation at his south metro megachurch, resulting in his taking a leave of absence and removing him from consideration for hire by a church in Tennessee. "We understand the nature of these claims and we take them very seriously," said Berean Baptist Church elders in a statement on Twitter and given Sunday at the church, listed in recent years as among...

  • Let the kids eat their free lunches while we sort this problem out

    Nov 15, 2019

    You're holding a tray with a hot, nutritious school lunch. Where should it go? Into the trash? Or into the hungry kid who can't pay for it? http://www.startribune.com/another-school-day-another-school-kid-who-can-t-pay-for-lunch/564956502/...

  • Undefeated Gophers an underdog despite Iowa's three losses. Why?

    Nov 15, 2019

    It must look so familiar to Kirk Ferentz, this breakout Minnesota football season. Mediocre expectations, critics sneering at their schedule, a series of last-minute heroics and the growing euphoria as victories pile up - the longtime Iowa coach lived through it all just four years ago. The 2015 Hawkeyes shocked college football, and perhaps even themselves, by going 12-0 in the regular season and earning their first Rose Bowl invitation in 25 years. Indeed, few coaches can appreciate the...

  • Pope demands tech companies prevent kids from viewing porn

    Nov 15, 2019

    VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis called Thursday for Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Google and other tech companies to urgently take measures to remove child porn from the web and prevent children from accessing pornography online. Francis told a Vatican conference of religious leaders and high-tech representatives that it's no longer acceptable to merely follow the law in monitoring online content, because technology is fast outpacing regulation. http://www.startribune.com/pope-dema...

  • Pelosi says Trump's Ukraine actions amount to 'bribery'

    Nov 15, 2019

    WASHINGTON - House Democrats are refining part of their impeachment case against the president to a simple allegation: Bribery. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday brushed aside the Latin phrase "quid pro quo" that Democrats have been using to describe President Donald Trump's actions toward Ukraine. As the impeachment hearings go public, they're going for a more colloquial term that may resonate with more Americans. http://www.startribune.com/pelosi-says-trump-s-ukraine-a...

  • Sheriff makes plea after many fishing on vast N. Minnesota lake are rescued

    Nov 15, 2019

  • Peterson and Tipton Introduce The Rural Hospital Frontier Workforce Fairness Act

    Nov 15, 2019

    WASHINGTON – This week, Representatives Collin Peterson (D-MN) and Scott Tipton (R-CO) introduced the bipartisan Rural Hospital Frontier Workforce Fairness Act to provide Sole Community Hospitals with increased funding to hire staff.

  • Richfield school lunch-shaming spurs new call for state fix

    Star Tribune|Nov 15, 2019

    A Minnesota lawmaker is pledging to renew efforts to block schools from shaming kids over unpaid lunch debts after he learned this week that Richfield High School cafeteria workers took hot meals from students and threw them away. The lunches were tossed because the students owed $15 or more, but the action was quickly halted Monday when administrators became aware of the situation. "Unfortunately, this was not implemented in line with our guidelines or our values," the district said in a statement Monday. "We deeply regret our actions today...
