WADENA, Minn. - In this central Minnesota town, it's hard to find someone who hasn't been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Just about everyone, it seems, either has had COVID themselves or knows someone who did. Many have seen friends or family members die of the disease. Yet life is going on at a pretty normal pace. The annual Christmas lighting ceremony is set for Sunday night at the local park. The stands are full at school basketball games, and the high school thespians just wrapped up a...
A Vikings team that appeared left for dead two weeks ago is 5-5, in control of its own destiny for a wild-card spot in the NFC's seven-team playoff field, and has one of the hottest offense in the NFL. Those facts would have seemed farcical two weeks ago, after back-to-back losses put the Vikings at 3-5. But an aggressive attack that got them a win on the road a week ago was even better on Sunday, with two scoring drives in the game's final three minutes to give the Vikings a 34-31 win over the...
Wednesday was the slowest day of the week in St. Cloud Hospital's emergency room - only 11 people were in the waiting room at noon while 38 patients filled every available treatment bay. Minnesota's busiest hospital - by occupancy rate - has been at the epicenter of the state's COVID-19 wave for three months, treating an escalating number of infected patients while seeing no slowdown in everyday emergencies. The pressure culminated last week with Minnesota's announcement that 22 federal...

Colleen O'Connor was surrounded by a mess of her own making, just the way she liked it. Across the tables of her St. Paul art studio were small frames, cups of paintbrushes and mini plastic pots filled with acrylic paint she mixed herself. She moved into the space in October 2019, thinking it would be a good place to host classes and expand a business she'd been running from her attic. "The intention of the studio was to up my game a little bit and to prove to myself and others that I was an...
VIENNA - Tens of thousands of protesters, many from far-right groups, marched through Vienna on Saturday after the Austrian government announced a nationwide lockdown beginning Monday to contain skyrocketing coronavirus infections. Demonstrations against virus restrictions also took place in Switzerland, Croatia, Italy, Northern Ireland and the Netherlands on Saturday, a day after Dutch police opened fire on protesters and seven people were injured in rioting that erupted in Rotterdam....
Amid the turmoil of the past two years - a period that included a deadly pandemic, mass layoffs, an ugly presidential election and an attack on the U.S. Capitol - some of the fiercest political debates in America have been waged over a nearly weightless piece of fabric: the face mask. U.S. officials were slow to embrace face masks as a strategy for slowing the spread of the coronavirus. When they finally did, masks became a potent symbol of the pandemic - a common-sense public health measure...
WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden and members of his inner circle have reassured allies in recent days that he plans to run for reelection in 2024, as they take steps to deflect concern about the 79-year-old president's commitment to another campaign and growing Democratic fears of a coming Republican return to power. The efforts come as the broader Democratic community has become increasingly anxious after a bruising six-month stretch that has seen Biden's national approval rating plummet more...
MOORHEAD, Minn. - It seems like strange partners in an effort to improve the growing educational disparity gap in Minnesota that is among the worst in the nation.

Page said their joint goal is a Minnesota constitutional amendment that...

Two significant things happened 750 miles apart in America on Friday. On Friday morning, President Joe Biden left the White House to take a short trip to the Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. to have a routine colonoscopy. Because he was put under anesthesia, the president transferred power to Vice President Kamala Harris. Under the same set of circumstances, then President George W. Bush transferred presidential power twice to his vice president. So, for about 85 minutes Harris...

WASHINGTON — Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland today formally established a process to review and replace derogatory names of the nation’s geographic features.

"Racist terms have no place in our vernacular or on our federal lands. Our nation’s lands and waters should be places to celebrate the outdoors and our shared cultural herit...
