One of the largest and most visible homeless settlements in Minnesota history is rapidly becoming a shadow of its former self, with fewer than 70 people still living in a camp that was once home to several hundred. In just the past three days, nearly three dozen people have packed their belongings and moved to a gated compound of large heated tents that will serve as a temporary shelter until more stable housing can be found. Another 80 had already found apartments or other housing in recent...

WASHINGTON – Gov.-elect Tim Walz declined an invitation to join a bipartisan group of new governors in a meeting with President Donald Trump on Thursday. The six-term Democratic congressman stayed back in Minnesota this week to meet with transition staff and advisers, even as his counterparts from South Dakota, Wisconsin and other Midwestern states visited the White House. http://www.startribune.com/gov-elect-tim-walz-skips-meeting-with-president-trump/502733172/...
SAN FRANCISCO — A divided U.S. appeals court Thursday blocked rules by the Trump administration that allowed more employers to opt out of providing women with no-cost birth control. The ruling, however, may be short lived because the administration has adopted new rules on contraceptive coverage that are set to take effect next month and will likely prompt renewed legal challenges. http://www.startribune.com/us-appeals-court-blocks-trump-birth-control-coverage-rules/502719812/...
LAS CRUCES, N.M. — A 7-year-old girl who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border with her father last week died after being taken into the custody of the U.S. Border Patrol, federal immigration authorities confirmed Thursday.

The girl was from Guatemala and was traveling with a group of 163 people who approached agents to turn themselves in on Dec. 6. http://www.startribune.com/7-year-o...
State utility regulators Thursday stood by their decision approving a route for Enbridge's controversial new pipeline across northern Minnesota. The decision by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) was expected, as the PUC rarely rescinds its earlier judgments. The PUC already had voted last month against reconsidering the certificate of need for the $2.6 billion project. http://www.startribune.com/state-regulators-affirm-decision-on-route-for-new-2-6-billion-enbridge-pipeline/502702652/...
NEW YORK — A wave of bomb threats emailed Thursday to hundreds of schools, businesses and government buildings across the U.S. triggered searches, evacuations and fear — but there were no signs of explosives, and authorities said the scare appeared to be a crude extortion attempt. Law enforcement agencies across the country dismissed the threats, saying they were meant to cause disruption and compel recipients into sending money and were not considered credible. http://www.startribune.com/authorities-bomb-threats-across-us-a...
BEMIDJI—A Minneapolis man who previously led a high speed chase through the Nymore area of Bemidji has picked up an additional charge of obstructing the legal process. According to court documents, a female called the authorities after she found Donald Fransisco Negron, 25, in her home in Bemidji at approximately 6:30 a.m., Dec. 9. The officer asked Negron to leave. Negron, however, appeared to be under the influence and insisted he lived in the home. https://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/4543053-man-who-led-high-speed-chase-p...
This week, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted in favor of an order to help address the budget shortfall in the High-Cost Universal Service Fund (USF), which is also known as the Connect America Fund.

In October 2017 and May 2018, Representative Peterson led bipartisan letters strongly urging the FCC to...
This week, Representative Peterson agreed to co-sponsor H.R. 5856, the Good Samaritan Charitable Physicians Service Act, to provide tax deductions to certified healthcare providers in exchange for pro-bono services to Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries. “The Good Samaritan Charitable Physicians Service Act has the potential to save billions of dollars in federal healthcare expenditures,” said Peterson. “There are certified doctors ready and willing to serve a greater number of patients under this legislation.” “The Good Samaritan Charitabl...

School districts across the country are banning homework, forbidding it on certain days or just not grading it, in response to parents who complain of overload and some experts who say too much can be detrimental. A new policy in Ridgefield Public Schools in Ridgefield, Conn., places nightly time limits on homework for most students. It is banned on weekends, school vacations and some other days off for elementary and middle-school students, and isn’t calculated into their overall grades. https://www.wsj.com/articles/no-home...
