New legislation could change how social media looks on young Minnesotans' devices

How social media looks on the devices of young Minnesotans could be in for a major change. The Minnesota House voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to require social media age verification and less-addictive interfaces for kids.

The Wisconsin Department of Justice has finished its investigation of a Superior police officer shooting and killing a 42-year old man in April. It's one of two police shootings in Superior in the past two months.

A ban on prediction markets passed both the Minnesota Senate and House Tuesday, and now it heads to the governor's desk. The proposal, part of a larger public safety bill, makes it a felony to host or advertise a prediction market in the state. The sites allow users to wager on a broad range of future events. People involved in creating, managing or facilitating the sites could face felony charges under the bill.

Three members of a Prior Lake family pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to federal charges of assaulting a conservative influencer at the Whipple federal building last month.

The Legislature could vote this week on a bill that ramps up safety for e-bikes. The bill requires anyone under the age of 18 to wear a helmet while riding an e-bike and closes a loophole for sellers to sell motorcycles as e-bikes. It also includes a public education campaign on e-bike safety.
