NEW YORK - Stormy Daniels, the adult-film actress at the center of Donald Trump's hush money trial, testified Tuesday about a disturbing sexual encounter she says she had with him, leading to angry, profane muttering from the former president that alarmed the judge. New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan called Trump's lawyer Todd Blanche to a sidebar during a midday break to say that Trump was "cursing audibly" and possibly intimidating Daniels, who had begun testifying, according to a...
WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden condemned the ''ferocious surge of antisemitism in America and around the world'' during a Tuesday ceremony to remember victims of the Holocaust at a time when the Hamas attack on Israel and controversy over the war in Gaza have sparked new waves of violence and hateful rhetoric toward Jews. ''We're at risk of people not knowing the truth," Biden said of the horrors of the Holocaust, when 6 million Jews were systematically killed by Nazi Germany and its...
Congresswoman Betty McCollum: Thank you to tribal leaders from Red Lake, Mille Lacs, Prairie Island, and the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission for testifying in front of the Interior-Environment Appropriations Subcommittee today on your funding priorities for FY 25. The federal government must meet its trust and treaty responsibilities for health care, public safety, and more....
ST. PAUL - The right to make a person's own pregnancy decisions was added to the Minnesota Equal Rights Act during a Monday Rules and Legislative Administration committee hearing. The ERA would bar discrimination based on race, color, national origin, ancestry, disability, sex, gender identity and gender expression or sexual orientation - and now pregnancy decisions. The bill would amend Minnesota's constitution and require voter approval in the 2024 general election. https:/...
Donald Trump's campaign sought to stir enthusiasm among prospective donors to his White House bid, contending that the ex-president has a chance to go on offense and expand the electoral map. Trump's team said its polling shows he has a chance to win Minnesota and Virginia, according to two donors who heard the presentation at a retreat in Palm Beach, Fla. President Joe Biden, who's headed for a rematch for the presidency with Trump in November, carried both states decisively in 2020. Richard...
COLUMBIA, S.C. - A church volunteer stood at an apartment door, beckoning inside a Congolese family for their first look at where they would live in America. ''Your new house!'' volunteer Dan Davidson exclaimed as the couple and the woman's brother stepped into the two-bedroom apartment in South Carolina's capital, smiling tentatively at what would come next. Inside, church volunteers had made quilts for the beds and set out an orange and yellow plastic dump truck and other toys for the...
WAUKESHA, Wis. - Donald Trump's words were almost exactly the same, but the change of scenery made all the difference. On Tuesday, he spoke as a criminal defendant: in a dingy, echoing courthouse hallway, behind a metal barricade, flanked by a grim-faced lawyer, speaking to a handful of reporters and a single TV camera. On Wednesday, he was the presumptive Republican nominee: backed by American flags, greeted as a hero by thousands of fans who chanted his name. This time, when Trump railed...
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders declared Thursday that the state won't comply with a federal regulation that seeks to protect the rights of transgender students in the nation's schools, joining other Republican-led states that are defying the new rules. Sanders signed an executive order stating that Arkansas schools will continue to enforce restrictions on which bathrooms and pronouns transgender students can use, laws that could be invalidated by the new regulations on...
A half-century after high school kids in California's Marin County started using "4:20" as code for smoking marijuana, political advisers to the 81-year-old teetotaler president, Joe Biden, began signaling that he was hip to reefer slang. The Department of Health and Human Services announced at 4:20 p.m. one day last year that it was moving forward with a plan to reschedule the drug. President Biden and Vice President Harris each tweeted at 4:20 p.m. on April 20 of this year that they supported...
Caitlin Efta's path to becoming a teacher began with helping her younger siblings with homework, navigating their daily hurdles and cheering them on from the front row at all of their sporting events. This passion led her to pursue a career in teaching when she left for college. But the journey hasn't been easy. The financial burden of unpaid teaching experiences, often far from home, has forced Efta and many of her peers to question their fate as educators. "It's just a lot of hard work, a lot...
NEW YORK - Former president Donald Trump was held in contempt of court Tuesday for repeatedly violating a gag order, and the judge overseeing his ongoing criminal trial warned him that he could go to jail if he keeps breaking the court's rules. "Defendant is hereby warned that the Court will not tolerate continued violations of its lawful orders and that if necessary and appropriate under the circumstances, it will impose an incarceratory punishment," New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan...
Democratic leaders in the House officially declared Tuesday that they would vote to keep order in the House by protecting Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) from any far-right Republicans seeking his ouster. That significantly improves Johnson's chances of surviving an attempt to topple him from his right flank, though the situation in the House is extremely fluid and Republican opposition could accelerate at any moment. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is leading the effort to remove Johnson from...
Minnesota legislators and regulators are facing increasing pressure to license marijuana growers ahead of dispensaries to ensure the market will have enough supply when it launches next year. Under current law, the state's Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) cannot issue cultivation licenses until it has set rules for the recreational industry. That rulemaking process is expected to wrap up in early 2025. State senators pushed forward a proposal Tuesday to allow certain Minnesotans to grow...
Hundreds of Lakeville educators wearing red assembled near the school district's office Tuesday night, carrying signs reading "Fair Pay = Teachers Stay" and "Worth Every Penny" and cheering as a band of students from both district high schools played upbeat songs. The gathering, at the corner of County Road 50 and Kenrick Avenue, followed a decision made Tuesday morning: The Lakeville teachers union filed an intent to strike, setting the stage for the potential shutdown of one of the state's...
WASHINGTON (AP) - House Democrats will vote to save Republican Speaker Mike Johnson's job should some of his fellow Republican lawmakers seek to remove him from the position, Democratic leaders said Tuesday, likely assuring for now that Johnson will avoid being ousted from office like his predecessor, former Rep. Kevin McCarthy. Johnson, R-La., has come under heavy criticism from some Republicans for moving forward with aid for Ukraine as part of a $95 billion emergency spending package that...

There were some 2,600 people at Saturday's White House Correspondents' Association dinner. But, really, it came down to only two men: Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Washington's annual mashup of political humor and earnest paeans to the free press is typically a good-natured collection of one-liners and affectionate jabs at friends and enemies alike. But it was the leading 2024 presidential contenders who loomed largest - one in the Washington Hilton hotel ballroom, the other who definitely,...
Republicans endorsed longtime politician Tad Jude in a convention this weekend, hoping he wins the suburban Third Congressional District for Republicans for the first time since 2016. Republicans held the seat for almost 60 years until Rep. Dean Phillips was elected in 2018. Phillips announced last year he would not seek re-election as he ran a long-shot campaign for president. State Sen. Kelly Morrison, DFL-Deephaven, is the sole Democrat in the race to replace Phillips. "I am humbled and...
DFL state Sen. Nicole Mitchell, of Woodbury, who was arrested in an alleged burglary this month, will be relieved of her committee work and removed from DFL caucus meetings while her case is under review in the courts and the Senate, DFL Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy said in a statement Sunday. "This is a tragic situation, and there are still questions that need to be answered," Murphy said. Mitchell is, however, expected to participate in votes, DFL Assistant Majority Leader Sen. Nick...

When the stepmother of Democratic state Sen. Nicole Mitchell called police at 4:45 a.m. Monday, she said someone broke into her house and "ran downstairs into my basement," according to the 911 transcript obtained by the Star Tribune on Thursday. Police asked her if she got a look at the person, to which she responded: "I tripped over 'em. Ah, he was on the floor next to my bed. He ran downstairs into my basement." 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...
