Life as a Native woman in rural Minnesota was never easy for Nancy Beaulieu, but it got harder after 2016.

PHILADELPHIA - As they frantically searched for ways to salvage President Donald Trump's failed reelection bid, his campaign pursued a dizzying game of legal hopscotch across six states that centered on the biggest prize of all: Pennsylvania. The strategy may have played well in front of television cameras and on talk radio to Trump's supporters. But it has proved a disaster in court, where judges uniformly rejected their claims of vote fraud and found the campaign's legal work amateurish. In a...
One walk through Regions Hospital's COVID-19 intensive care unit reveals the scope of the medical crisis emerging from a fast-spreading pandemic. Sixteen sliding glass doors are all closed, and behind each lies a patient struggling to breathe. Almost all are on ventilators because their lungs are too weak to work on their own. Clear tubes carry oxygen into their throats and chests, which mechanically rise and fall as their bodies lie still. On this Thursday morning, 28 COVID-19 patients are in...
The Vikings' playoff hopes, after a late afternoon high-wire act against the Cowboys on Sunday, are on life support. The reasons they are 4-6, and not 5-5, were too many for Dalvin Cook, Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson to overcome. They fell 31-28 to the Cowboys in a game filled with lead changes, magnificent catches from Vikings and Cowboys receivers and hard-to-explain penalties that keep the game close ended with the Vikings' inability to get a defensive stop. "I don't think we played well...

ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Red Lake Nation is betting big on solar energy. The Chippewa Indian reservation in northern Minnesota will soon be home to one of the region's largest solar arrays, a 240-kilowatt installation atop a workforce training center that will generate about half the building's electricity needs. The real power, though, could be in the emerging model to use solar, microgrids, and a tribal-run utility as a path to energy sovereignty. "We have to prove that we can do this and we have to do this not only for ourselves but for o...
BEMIDJI -- A camera malfunction at his first gig couldn't stop Bob Smith from forging what would become a 50-year career as a commercial photographer. It was Aug. 8, 1970, and Smith was shooting the first of about 2,500 weddings in the Bemidji area. Robyn and Bill Schulke were the bride and groom.

Despite that, Garcia, who uses they/them pronouns, headed back to teaching remotely along with other Springfield teachers when the new school year began...

Education groups say that more than half a million teachers and school personnel have been laid off and more turmoil is on the horizon unless the federal government steps in with emergency funding. Those critical needs must be addressed first, they said, over...
