With hugs, laughter and a few tears, nearly a dozen people who have been living at a south Minneapolis homeless encampment for weeks and even months finally moved out of the cold on Tuesday and into a temporary shelter sponsored by the Red Lake Nation and city officials. Their peaceful transition from a compound of tattered, snow-covered tents — crowded together on a narrow strip of mud and pavement along a busy highway — marked a pivotal moment in a massive, monthslong campaign to bring social services to a hard-to-reach population of peo...

With more than 460,000 diabetics in Minnesota, legislators say they are hearing many complaints from frustrated and worried constituents. Rationing insulin can lead to illness, even death. http://www.startribune.com/soaring-insulin-prices-cause-minnesota-lawmakers-to-draf...

WASHINGTON — In a wild Oval Office confrontation, President Donald Trump heatedly threatened to shut down the U.S. government Tuesday as he and Democratic leaders bickered over funding for his promised border wall and offered a grim preview of life in Washington the next two years under divided government. Trump and House and Senate Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer squabbled for more than 15 minutes in the stunning, televised encounter. Each of them, especially Trump, interrupted the others to question facts, quibble over e...
As Vikings coach Mike Zimmer explained his decision to fire offensive coordinator John DeFilippo the morning after the team’s 21-7 loss at Seattle, he fixated on a stretch that’s seen the team go from the top of the NFC North to a fight for the final playoff spot. “We had to shake things up and try to get better as a football team together,” Zimmer said Tuesday. “I didn’t feel like we were going in that direction based on the past four or five weeks. It wasn’t about one game. It’s about the direction we were going throughout the latter part...
Kirk Cousins is shrinking before our eyes, melting like sugar in hot tea, and unlike his frazzled and frayed predecessors, he is capable of detonating an entire franchise. Cousins’ wobbly kneed performance Monday at Seattle got offensive coordinator John DeFilippo fired, a move that should be viewed as a preview of coming events should the current Vikings quarterback continue to look small as a theater mouse on a large stage. http://www.startribune.com/kirk-cousins-rattled-play-costs-john-defilippo-his-job-and-could-cost-mik...

HOUSTON — In a case with echoes of the furor involving a Stanford University swimmer two years ago, advocates for sex-crime victims say the plea bargain that enabled a former Baylor University fraternity president to stay out of jail is another failure by the legal system. "What's similar is that violence against women is not taken seriously by the legal system," said Michele Dauber, a Stanford law professor who led the successful campaign to recall the judge in the swimmer's case. "The handling of sexual assault in the criminal justice s...
