  • Two longtime Minnesota senators split from DFL, start independent caucus

    Nov 19, 2020

Sen. Tom Bakk of Cook, a former DFL leader at the Capitol, and Sen. David Tomassoni of Chisholm cited growing political polarization and an opportunity to chair committees and better serve their districts within the legislative framework as reasons for the split. "I'm very disappointed by the extreme...

  • Roseau County Landowners Demand Watershed District Disavow Eminent Domain, Receive No Guarantee Their Property Is Safe

    Nov 19, 2020

  • Michigan GOPers Try To Steal Election For Trump, Change Minds At The Last Minute

    Nov 19, 2020

    The two Republicans on Michigan’s Wayne County Board of Canvassers initially refused on Tuesday to certify the county’s election results, which show former Vice President Joe Biden defeating President Donald Trump.

    Nov 19, 2020

  • How school discipline - and student misbehavior - has changed during the pandemic

    Nov 19, 2020

    Student misbehavior hasn’t vanished during distance learning, but schools are finding that imposing discipline in a virtual environment is a complicated and often murky process, and that current laws don’t neatly apply to online behavior. The California Department of Education has not yet released suspension and expulsion data from the 2019-20 school year, but teachers and advocates interviewed by EdSource say school discipline, such as suspensions and expulsions, is still happening during distance learning, although less frequently than whe...
