America's law enforcement community is under attack both on the streets and in the courtroom — and we are seeing this play out right here in Minnesota.

WASHINGTON — On a hunting trip for deer with his bow and arrows, Levi Bock was in the woods north of Crosslake in central Minnesota when he spotted three gray wolves about 40 yards away.

Bock, 35, had come across gray wolves before and they usually avoided close contact with humans. But this trio was behaving in an odd and threatening manner.

WASHINGTON D.C. (Northern News Now) - Congressman Pete Stauber made a touching tribute to Adam Johnson on the House of Representatives floor in Washington D.C. on Wednesday.

Johnson, a Hibbing native and former UMD hockey player, died after suffering a medical emergency on the ice in the UK at the end of October.

In a desperate publicity stunt to sell the American people on the Biden Administration’s push for electric vehicles (EVs), Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm embarked on a four-day road trip through the southeast in an EV.

The representatives met at Clyde Iron Works with 14 Northland leaders in transportation, business and community development industries to discuss supply chain crisis impacts.

U.S. Rep. Pete Stauber joined fellow state Republicans in voting against a short-term extension to raise the national debt ceiling Tuesday, telling the Democrats they'll have to go it alone on spending.

"It is unacceptable that Democrats want to spend more money at this critical juncture instead of discussing pro-growth policies that will change the direction of our nearly $29 trillion in national debt," Stauber, R-Hermantown, said in a news release late Tuesday.
