Peggy Flanagan, a former Minneapolis School Board member, joined other Minnesota officials in demanding that ICE leave the state. In St. Paul, the district has asked impacted families to contact their child’s principal for help enrolling in its existing online school. Students in most Minnesota districts have yet to return to pre-pandemic academic achievement levels, according to an analysis in the Minnesota Reformer. “Districts really want to serve these students in person — that’s generally the most effective,” said Scott Croonquist, executive director of the Association of Metropolitan School Districts. Before COVID-19, online schools — then often of shoddy quality — had to earn state approval to operate, and temporary school closures were governed by rules addressing severe winter weather.

The prominent riverside area sits south of the National Mall near the memorials to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Rev. “That hasn’t been a final decision, but it’s getting close.”West Potomac Park sits northwest of the golf course but does not touch it. The golf course also abuts a less legally restricted area, the picnic grounds at East Potomac Park’s southern tip. It’s unclear whether the golf course, or other sites, are still in contention. The National Park Service and the Interior Department did not respond to requests for comment.

The court’s decision could affect similar laws in more than half the country. • In one of the more remarkable moments from the arguments, Chief Justice John Roberts quickly sought to distinguish the sports cases from a 2020 precedent that protects gay and transgender employees from workplace discrimination. By doing so, he eviscerated a central argument that had been raised by the American Civil Liberties Union and other lawyers challenging the bans. • Throughout the arguments, the justices similarly wrestled with the question of whether transgender girls who have taken hormone therapy really have some inherent advantage in sports just because they were born male. • Attorneys for the transgender students urged the justices to send the cases back down to lower courts for a more thorough factual record to be developed – particularly on the question of whether transgender girls have some inherent advantages on girls teams.

Trump to tout economy in visit to Ford factory President Donald Trump is traveling to Michigan on Tuesday as he looks to refocus his attention on the struggling economy.

President Donald Trump speaks at the Detroit Economic Club in Detroit, Michigan, on Jan. 13, 2026. One guy is trying to sell hydrogen?” he said on a detour about fuel-cell powered electric cars, apparently unaware of the explosive characteristics of gasoline vapor. AdvertisementAnd while describing his efforts to pressure the pharmaceutical industry to lower drug prices, Trump again adopted his nonsensical approach to arithmetic: “They’re going to be coming down thousands of percents. In reality, grocery prices have not been coming down, and inflation numbers released Tuesday showed that food prices increased last month at the fastest pace since 2022. While inflation was high under Biden in 2021 and 2022 as the economy rebounded from the pandemic, there was no stagflation, as steady growth continued throughout.

SACRAMENTO — LeBron James wore a patch on his jersey for the first time Tuesday commemorating his unprecedented 23rd NBA season in the city where he played his first NBA game. It features a silhouette of his pregame chalk toss and three colored stripes that represents the three franchises he has played on — the Lakers, Cavaliers and Heat. James, who scored 22 points in the Lakers’ 124-112 loss to the Sacramento Kings, will wear the patch for the remainder of the season. After each game, the patch will be removed from his jersey for that game, dated and shipped to a Topps production facility to be authenticated and inserted into a pack of trading cards. Super humbled, blessed,” James said.

The union called the action the largest nursing strike in New York City history, and picketing continued into a second day as negotiations remained stalled. City health officials and hospital leaders warned the walkout could create service bottlenecks and signed emergency measures to stabilize staffing. Union leaders framed such actions as efforts to intimidate staff and suppress organizing at a moment when nurses say patient safety is at stake. Union leaders argue that stable, well-supported nursing staff are essential to reducing disparities in outcomes for low-income and marginalized communities. Hospital executives say preserving operations during a large-scale strike requires temporary measures that can be costly and disruptive.

Outside the delivery room, I held him in my hands and whispered the words I’d practiced for weeks. I told my wife to stay at home while I searched, then jumped in my car and called 911. I wouldn’t leave my child the way I’d been left. And on that morning after leaving Chris, I ate every word of it. In the end, it wasn’t about leaving Chris.

The Department of Homeland Security said the Target worker seen in the video was arrested in connection with “assaulting, resisting or impeding federal officers.” It was unclear on Tuesday if the employee was charged. Federal officers are descending on streets in what they say is an effort to find undocumented immigrants with criminal and dangerous backgrounds. They are displaying a show of force they argue is necessary in cities and states where local governments and law enforcement agencies have refused to help them. The skirmishes between residents and the heavily armed federal agents have been especially nerve-racking for residents of Minneapolis, where the memories of the 2020 murder of George Floyd — and the protests and rioting that followed — are still raw. This time, residents and elected officials say, the fear is not abuses by law enforcement but an encroaching federal government.

“I don’t think there’s really any benefit to me” looking into who made the edits, Moore said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. Moore said he would refuse if the mayor, who is his boss, requested edits to an after-action report. The after-action report contained only a brief mention of the earlier fire. After the Times report, Bass directed Moore to commission an independent investigation into the LAFD’s handling of the Lachman fire. Moore later added: “If that is true, then — you asked me about discipline — potential discipline would possibly occur.”©2026 Los Angeles Times.

A woman told CNN she was hit by a flash-bang while demonstrating outside of the Whipple Federal Building near Minneapolis Tuesday. “ICE does not scare me … there is power in the people,” Zoe said. “If they’re throwing weapons at us, they’re afraid, they don’t want us here because they know we have power against them,” she said. Video shows agents and demonstrators standing opposite each other on the street, with protesters shouting at agents to take off their masks, and agents backing away slowly as protesters chant “shame” repeatedly. More than two dozen federal agents are visible in the video.
