The budget resolution in the U.S. House targets Medicaid spending to help pay for a GOP-proposed tax plan.

Instead of caving to Trump’s threats, the U should stand tall and protect free speech.

I don’t think they’ll use that information to commit identity theft, but no one should have to even wonder.

I wonder what Stauber might think if our governor pardoned his assailant.

Please, take the next step and organize your fellow Republicans to fight back against what their party has become.

Members of Congress would not say how many genders there are just days after President Donald Trump proclaimed that there are only two: male and female.

As an Ohio senator, JD Vance supported the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. As VP, his advocacy could play a key role in reauthorizing this historic, pollution-remediation measure.

I don't imagine the muskrat realizes its tunneling has destroyed the very dam that held back the water that created the pond it called home.

'It's outrageous'

The bald eagle has (almost) landed as the national bird of the United States after the House on Monday cleared the bill to make the designation official.

Congress should act this year to reauthorize the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. Four members of Minnesota’s Congressional delegation are part of a commendable coalition pushing for swift passage.

Results were still coming in on Tuesday night

From the editorial: "It’s hard to fathom anyone allowing their voice to go silent on an Election Day. Yet too many of us have."

How party balance has shifted in Minnesota over the decades and how the state with the longest blue streak in the country may come out of the 2024 election

Like other Republicans representing Minnesota in Congress, Stauber has to know full well that Trump, who acts reprehensibly, lost the 2020 presidential election.

And I’ll be on your side building a better future for everyone.

"Survivors need help now, to get their lives and businesses back together."

Incumbent Republican Rep. Pete Stauber faces a rematch with former DFL legislator Jennifer Schultz.

Voters, you can hold your elected leaders accountable for failing the test of courageous truth-telling.

Stauber further shows what I consider disdain for voters and our democracy by failing to hold in-person town-hall meetings and by refusing to participate in debates as part of the election process.

If you follow GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s social media account or watch Fox News, you might believe that stepping out of your house means you’re plummeting into a dangerous, post-apocalyptic world. You’re probably paranoid that strolling down any major city street could result in being mugged, beaten, or murdered by the usual scapegoats—immigrants. Because according to the right-wing’s favorite talking points, immigration and homicide are wreaking havoc on major American cities. But here are the facts: Violent crime fell 3% in 2023, while murder and manslaughter dipped by 11.6%, according to new data from the FBI. And as for those big cities that, according to Trump and his surrogates, are in anarchic free fall? Crime rates there are down for the second consecutive year.Urban areas have long been a target for Republican ire and right-wing media criticism. But the FBI statistics show that cities with more than 1 million residents saw the most significant dips in violent crime, with a 7% decrease from 2022 to 2023.While the homicide rate surged by 30% during the COVID-19 pandemic, that number has since fallen and violent crime rates overall are now back down to pre-pandemic levels from 2019—when Trump was in office.

From the editorial: "The forums feature the races Duluthians will vote for and are great opportunities ... to learn more about the issues and candidates."

Rep. Pete Stauber is 100% in support of Trump and his ideas.

I wrote to Stauber and said his silence on the matter implied an agreement with Trump’s maligning of our military.

"A bipartisan group of three senators (a Republican, an independent, and a Democrat) worked months to write the most comprehensive immigration law in 30 years."

“As a 23-year police officer,” Stauber responded. “I am ... defending law and order ... (and) supporting our law enforcement.”

I think the money spent on me was a net benefit.

In 2013, a cheerful state employee told us that cleaning up a century of pollution on this Great Lakes estuary was doable. He was right.
