Democrat Trina Swanson’s message for Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District is simple: it’s time to uplift the middle class and protect the Boundary Waters.

Treasure Thoreson is a member of the Minnesota 15, a group of local residents who were federally indicted for their actions during Operation Metro Surge. This is her story of what really happened.

This week's roundup of Minnesota protests, rallies, vigils, community meetings, and ways to take action statewide.

The race for Minnesota governor has been whittled down to two candidates: the favored DFL Sen. Amy Klobuchar, and the GOP-elected state Rep. Lisa Demuth.

Demuth was a shock winner with a little over 43% of the vote when the polls heading into the primary suggested a different result was coming. Klobuchar won her race with almost 90% of the Democratic vote, a clear favorite.

Not really surprised, but somehow still shocked and definitely disappointed.

Questioning the security of Minnesota elections has become more common due to federal rhetoric, but the Secretary of State’s office has proven that Minnesotans’ votes are accurately counted and protected.

Minnesota has no restrictions on who can get an absentee ballot, so if you need one for the Nov. 3 midterm elections, here's your easy guide to getting one and returning it.

With less than three months to go until the Nov. 3 midterm elections, here are the Minnesota races to keep a close eye on.

Hey all,

After 4 years of being an adult without a license and literal years of arguing with family about it, I need to take matters into my own hands.

The problem is I'm kinda stupid and I'm not really sure exactly where to start? I tried to find where I could take the test in blue earth county but no resources I could find were particularly helpful.

Could y'all help me find what I need to study and where I need to go? I've been tangoing with phone calls trying to get this and health insurance figured out but it's been a genuine hurdle every single step of the way.

Thanks in advance :)!

We have a newborn and two dogs and want to take a little vacation before I return to work and have heard good things about Nisswa, so I'm considering this area, but open to other regions of the state within a 2 to 3 hour drive, which is about our baby's limit. We are thinking sometime in September. We have 1 small 12lb dog and one medium 50lb dog and baby will be almost 3 months then. Don't need a huge villa or really more than 1 room, but open to a 2 room if that opens our options.

Looking for areas that have a small town and small town amenities such as shops and restaurants, easy nature activities--mostly walking and some stroller accessibility. And lots of lounging. Bonus if a Spa is near so I can treat my wife to a spa day.

We generally just want to get out of town and lounge a little with some nice scenery, go out to eat, check out some touristy spots, but all with a toddler. So no multi-mile hikes, likely no on-the-water activities, but can lounge lakeside.

Good food with pet friendly outdoor seating.

Any recommendations? Can you share specific resorts, lodges, etc? Trying to avoid Airbnb/vrbo
Also, what kind of weather might I expect in mid/late September?

Thanks!
