When they arrived, officers found Mitchell, a first-term senator from Woodbury,...

House Speaker Mike Johnson had walked into something of an ambush. President Biden had called in the four congressional leaders - Johnson (R-La.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), along with Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) - to the Oval Office in late February ostensibly to talk about heading off a government shutdown. But Biden and the others had devised a plan to pressure Johnson to push through a Ukraine...
The Tennessee legislature passed a bill Tuesday that would allow teachers and school staffers to carry concealed handguns in schools, one of the most divisive steps taken by Republican leaders in the year since six people were killed by a shooter at a Nashville school. The House approved the measure as protesters shouted objections, nearly drowning out the proceedings with chants of "Not one more kid!" At least one person was kicked out of the gallery by House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R). The...
PHOENIX - Former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows and lawyer Rudy Giuliani are among those indicted in the Arizona election interference case. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE.

Minnesota lawmakers grappled with the fallout of a state senator's burglary arrest on Wednesday, debating what should be done in response to a case that has cast uncertainty over the end of the legislative session. Democrats in the Senate pulled bills from the floor and canceled a morning rules committee hearing so they could huddle behind closed doors about Sen. Nicole Mitchell, who's been charged with felony first-degree burglary for allegedly breaking into her stepmother's home to take some...
Minnesota involuntarily commits more people for sex offenses than anywhere else in the nation per capita, but authors of a new report say the more than $100 million-a-year program fails to meaningfully address sexual violence or recognize the humanity of those it locks up. Twenty states civilly commit sex offenders. Among those, Minnesota is "notorious" for the number of people it confines, the duration of their commitment and a low rate of community reintegration, according to the report...
WASHINGTON - Danna Jackson, a Kootenai descandant who grew up in Montana on the Flathead Reservation, was nominated by President Joe Biden on Wednesday to become a federal judge for the United States District Court for the District of Montana. Jackson is the fifth Native American President Biden has nominated to the federal bench. Jackson, who has spent much of her legal career focused on Indian law and natural resources, must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate. If confirmed, Jackson would be the...
TAMPA, Fla. - President Biden traveled to Florida on Tuesday to denounce that state's six-week abortion ban - just days before the law goes into effect - blaming former president Donald Trump for the erosion of reproductive rights across the country. "There's one person who is responsible for this nightmare - and he's acknowledged and he's bragged about it," Biden told a crowd of several hundred at Hillsborough Community College. "It's Donald Trump." Repeatedly bashing Trump by name, Biden took...
NEW YORK - Donald Trump oversaw a "planned, coordinated, long-running conspiracy to influence the 2016 election," which included hush money payments to an adult-film actress, prosecutors told a jury Monday in the opening salvo of the first criminal trial of a former U.S. president. "It was election fraud, pure and simple," Assistant District Attorney Matthew Colangelo told the jury inside a packed and heavily-guarded courtroom, illustrating the sky-high stakes of a criminal trial in which the...
The House came together Saturday to pass a sweeping $95 billion foreign aid package, a rare moment of bipartisan cooperation in the closely divided chamber. But the move only intensified infighting among House Republicans, who split sharply on the strategy to deliver assistance to foreign allies including Ukraine and Israel. In social media posts and TV interviews afterward, House Republicans took aim at one another - in unusually sharp terms - over the events that led up to the vote....

Nicole Mitchell, a first-term Democrat from Woodbury, was booked into the Becker County Jail. The roster indicates she was arrested on suspicion of first-degree burglary. A woman living in the 700 block of Granger Road called police at 4:45 a.m. to report an active burglary at her home, Detroit Lakes Police Chief Steve Todd said.

NEW YORK - Donald Trump tried to illegally influence the 2016 presidential election by preventing damaging stories about his personal life from becoming public, a prosecutor told jurors Monday at the start of the former president's historic hush money trial. "This was a planned, coordinated, long-running conspiracy to influence the 2016 election - to help Donald Trump get elected through illegal expenditures to silence people who had something bad to say about his behavior, using doctored...
Growing up in a proud Irish Catholic middle-class family, Joe Biden idolized the Kennedys. He and his family saw the Kennedys - successful, wealthy, attractive Irish Catholics - as the embodiment of the American Dream. Biden says Robert F. Kennedy Sr., whose bust sits in the Oval Office, inspired him to become a public defender and ultimately run for office. "The Kennedys were, as a group, the people he patterned his life after," said former senator Ted Kaufman (D-Del.), who was Biden's...
St. Anthony Middle School went cellphone-free this year, and behavioral referrals tied to negative social media posts are down from 30 or more a year ago to just one so far this school year, Principal Amy Kujawski said last week. At Maple Grove Middle School, with cell phones gone, kids are happy and talking, eyes ahead in hallways and in the lunchroom, and no longer locked in power struggles with teachers, Principal Patrick Smith said. The Minnesota House is hoping to build on such successes...

The Biden administration voted against a United Nations Security Council resolution that aimed to extend full member status to a Palestinian state Thursday. The final vote was 12 in favor, one against, with two countries - the United Kingdom and Switzerland - abstaining. If the resolution had been approved by the council, the issue would have then gone to the U.N. General Assembly, where two-thirds of the 193 member countries would have had to agree. Robert Wood, the alternate American...
PHILADELPHIA - More than a dozen Kennedy family members endorsed President Biden for reelection at a campaign event on Thursday, saying he reflects the values and "moral leadership" of their clan's most celebrated members, a move intended in part to counter the independent campaign of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The family members - including siblings of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - were on hand during Biden's remarks. The event came at the end of the president's three-day sprint through the battleground s...
Voters in more than two dozen Minnesota cities and five counties will have local sales tax proposals on their ballots this fall after the Legislature approved a record number of sales tax proposals in 2023, but there could be stricter guidelines next time a city seeks a sales tax. Until recently, it was rare to see a local sales tax outside Minneapolis and St. Paul, and regional hubs like Duluth and Rochester. But in the last five years, sales taxes have been enacted in suburbs and rural...
St Paul, Minnesota— Today, the Minnesota Senate passed the Elections Omnibus Bill (SF 4729), including the Minnesota Voting Rights Act (MNVRA), which takes critical steps to codify the protections offered by the federal Voting Rights Act into state law to ensure ballot access and protect voters from disenfranchisement. Codifying these rights through the MNVRA will help to protect voting rights and access, especially in communities of color and other groups whose voting rights have been under attack for decades. The MNVRA will ensure that M...
Concerns over how Canadian mining companies are conducting themselves in foreign lands landed squarely on the floor of the United Nations in New York on Tuesday. "We would like the Canadian government to listen to us and stop destroying our Indigenous territories," said Zenaida Yasacama from Peru through an interpreter. "Our territories, our life is where we harvest where we have everything for our food, we ask respect for our rights and respect for nature. "Companies are violating the right of...
The Senate voted Wednesday to dismiss two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, which allege he mismanaged an influx of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. Both votes were along party lines. The impeachment trial came to a close a little more than three hours after it started, following a GOP senator's move to quickly quash an offer for limited debate and the creation of an impeachment committee, marking a rapid close to the first impeachment of a...
House Speaker Mike Johnson is plowing ahead on a foreign aid plan that has roiled his conference and prompted two Republicans to push an effort to oust him from the chamber's top job. But instead of the complex four-part plan he floated this week, Johnson now intends to try to pass five bills - one each for aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Indo-Pacific allies, as well as a GOP wish list of foreign policy priorities and a fifth stand-alone bill to address widespread Republican demands to strengthen...
WASHINGTON — The Biden administration has reached an agreement to provide $6.1 billion in government support for Micron Technology to produce advanced memory computer chips in New York and Idaho. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., personally courted Micron to build what would ultimately be a set of four chip factories near Syracuse in the town of Clay. He noted in a Wednesday interview that the announcement was a sign to voters about how Democrats were reviving the manufacturing sector. ''It will be the biggest memory chip plant i...
