  • Trump's options on North Korea going from bad to worse

    Sep 5, 2017

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Sanctions on North Korea have been tried, and failed. Serious negotiations seem like a pipedream. And any military strike would almost surely bring mass devastation and horrific civilian casualties. The Trump administration’s options are going from bad to worse as Kim Jong Un’s military marches ever closer to being able to strike the U.S. mainland with nuclear weapons. Just as President Donald Trump seeks to show global resolve after the North’s most powerful nuclear test, his leverage is limited even further by new tension...

  • Cherokee slave-owning legacy loses court battle; 'freedmen' gain citizenship

    Sep 5, 2017

    WASHINGTON (CN) – The Cherokee Nation cannot deny membership to the descendants of Black slaves owned by the tribe and others like it, a federal judge ruled August 30, 2017.

  • EPA now requires political aide's sign-off for agency awards, grant applications

    Sep 5, 2017

    The Environmental Protection Agency has taken the unusual step of putting a political operative in charge of vetting the hundreds of millions of dollars in grants the EPA distributes annually, assigning final funding decisions to a former Trump campaign aide with little environmental policy experience. In this role, John Konkus reviews every award the agency gives out, along with every grant solicitation before it is issued. According to both career and political employees, Konkus has told staff that he is on the lookout for “the double C...

  • Most Native Americans live in cities, not reservations. Here are their stories

    Sep 5, 2017

    As I left my small, remote hometown of Joseph, Oregon, driving two hours to the nearest airport to fly south, I thought about my father, a Caddo/Delaware Native American man who spent most of his life in the Bay Area. Dad arrived in California as a child due to the assimilation policies enacted by the US government in the 1950s, which forcefully relocated Native Americans from their land into urban areas to become “productive” members of society. It also intentionally placed Indian orphans into the homes of white families. Today, 78% of Nat...
