DES MOINES, Iowa — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a fiery conservative loathed by his own party's leaders, swept to victory in Iowa's Republican caucuses Monday, overcoming billionaire Donald Trump and a stronger-than-expected showing by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. Among Democrats, Bernie Sanders rode a wave of voter enthusiasm to a virtual tie with Hillary Clinton, long considered her party's front-runner. Cruz's victory over Trump was a testament to his massive get-out-the-vote operation in Iowa and the months he spent wooing the state's influential c...
Recycled trash delivered $3.4 billion worth of economic treasures to Minnesotans’ wallets last year, according to a new Minnesota Pollution Control Agency report issued to state legislators Monday. The report shows that the conversion of old or used products into new ones created 60,215 jobs, $3.4 billion in wages and $26 billion worth of sales last year. That’s an increase of about 1,700 jobs from 2011, the last year for which the MPCA reported totals to Minnesota legislators, as required by law. http://www.startribune.com/...
Gov. Mark Dayton was released from Regions Hospital in St. Paul on Monday after fainting at a political event in Woodbury the night before. The governor was treated for dehydration, said Bob Hume, the senior adviser to the governor. Dayton fainted during a volunteer recognition event for state Rep. JoAnn Ward, DFL-Woodbury. http://www.startribune.com/dayton-released-from-hospital-after-fainting-at-political-event/367272711/...
January was more deadly than usual on Minnesota roads, with nearly three times as many deaths in 2016 as last year, including two in the last two days of the month. February didn’t start well, either, when a crash Monday morning in Winona County killed two people and left another injured, the State Patrol said. A woman heading north on Hwy. 61 near Winona lost control of her car on an icy curve about 6 a.m., crossed the median and crashed head-on into an SUV. The SUV caught fire; the driver was trapped and died at the scene. The woman in the c...
A rash of armed robberies near the University of Minnesota campus in recent weeks has shaken students easing into the spring semester and renewed concerns about security on and around the campus. The most recent attack occurred in the early morning hours Sunday, when three men wearing hoodies robbed a man who was walking in the area of SE. 8th Street and 12th Avenue SE., near campus. Police revealed few details about the three male suspects, but said the latest robbery was unlike a string of earlier armed stickups in the area....

SAN FRANCISCO — Alphabet now comes before Apple atop the list of the world's most valuable companies. The shift occurred in Monday's extended trading after Alphabet, Google's new parent company, released a fourth-quarter earnings report that highlighted the robust growth of the digital ad market. Apple Inc.'s iPhone, meanwhile, is suffering its first downturn since it debuted eight years ago. Alphabet Inc. earned $4.9 billion on revenue of $21.3 billion in the fourth quarter. If not for employee stock expenses and certain other items, A...
The rows of sleek, shiny lockers that once symbolized American high school life are gathering dust across the Twin Cities metro area. In some schools, they’re going away completely. Some students are hardly touching their lockers, opting to tote books via backpack instead of doubling back to their storage spot multiple times a day. Less time jiggling combination locks means more time socializing between classes. http://www.startribune.com/at-metro-high-schools-lockers-are-losing-their-luster/367303521/...
GENEVA — The World Health Organization declared a global emergency over the explosive spread of the Zika virus, which has been linked to birth defects in the Americas, calling it an "extraordinary event" that poses a public health threat to other parts of the world. The U.N. agency took the rare step despite a lack of definitive evidence proving the mosquito-borne virus is causing a surge in babies born with brain defects and abnormally small heads in Brazil and following a 2013-14 outbreak in French Polynesia. http://www.st...
CHICAGO — Chicago saw a dramatic spike in the number of homicides and shootings in January — the bloodiest start to a year in at least 16 years and a blow to a police force struggling to regain public trust following the release of a video of a white officer fatally shooting a black teen. In a news release Monday, Chicago police reported 51 homicides were committed in the city last month, compared with 29 in January 2015. The number of shooting incidents more than doubled, from 119 last January to 242 this January. The number of shooting vic...
Disenrollment is tantamount to relinquishment of my Birthright. But unlike relinquishment of parental rights, disenrollment is based on no fault of my own. Because, as an Indian Mother who gave up an Indian Son, it feels eerily reminiscent of a day 39 years ago. He was there. Then taken from my arms. Then gone. I never again had any say. http://nativenewsonline.net/currents/seattle-councilperson-debora-juarez-holds-deeply-personal-beliefs-against-disenrollment/...
With California on the knife edge of legalization, Orange County has become known as the land of brutal dispensary raids and corrupt cops. But last week's raid on the Oklevueha Native American Church (ONAC) in Costa Mesa strayed from the typical cannabis facility invasion. ONAC isn't a medical facility— it's a place to engage in indigenous Native American spiritual ceremonies, which can include the use of sacred plants, such as cannabis, ayahuasca, peyote and psilocybin. The Costa Mesa Police Department raided the Harbor Blvd. church at 3:30 p...
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Secretary of State Linda McCulloch announced Monday that five new satellite elections offices are set to open on tribal lands across Montana in advance of this year's elections. The satellite offices are a result of a directive issued last fall by McCulloch, the state's chief election officer, to comply with a 2014 settlement over a federal lawsuit brought by Native Americans two years prior under the federal Voting Rights Act. The lawsuit asserted that the remote locations of some reservations presented undue burden on N...
We recently reported on six other cities in Michigan, which have more lead poisoning in their city water supplies, than Flint. The Detroit News reports that “Elevated blood-lead levels are seen in a higher percentage of children in parts of Grand Rapids, Jackson, Detroit, Saginaw, Muskegon, Holland and several other cities, proof that the scourge of lead has not been eradicated despite decades of public health campaigns and hundreds of millions of dollars spent to find and eliminate it.” http://countercurrentnews.com/2016/01...
Terry Two Bull’s guacamole is so good that people are willing to lie for it it. Two Bulls is also the “chicken guy” at Arrowhead Foods, the first Native owned business in Whiteclay, Nebraska, near the Pine Ridge reservation in neighboring South Dakota. Martin Pilcher, Lakota from Pine Ridge, who bought Arrowhead Foods in December, recently described the guacamole incident. “A lady called up and asked if we had any guacamole left. It’s really good and people like it; we had one container left. She asked me to save it for her and I said I wo...
WINNIPEG – Internal government documents say Manitoba First Nations live in some of the most dilapidated homes in the country and it will cost $2 billion to eliminate mould and chronic overcrowding in that province alone. That’s almost 13 times more than the $150 million the federal government has budgeted for housing on all reserves across Canada this year. Reports from Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, obtained by The Canadian Press under access-to-information legislation, say the housing situation in Manitoba has worsened as inf...
Forecasting the 2016 legislative agenda requires the use of something like a political Rorschach Test. Some people look at 2016 and see it as more-of-the-same—the second year of the 114th Congress. To others, 2016 looks the final, lame duck year of the Obama Administration. And to others it is a high-stakes election year with the control of the next Congress and White House up for grabs. We think 2016 will prove to be all of these and much more. Conventional wisdom suggests that this November’s elections will stymie most legislation until at...
Four Ojibwe protesters appeared in court Monday morning on charges of harvesting wild rice without a permit and illegal fish netting. The protesters argue the state of Minnesota has no jurisdiction in their case, because an 1855 treaty gives Ojibwe band members rights to hunt, fish and gather. The state disagrees. Tribal officials say they will ask a federal court to resolve the dispute. Interpreting a treaty Understanding an American Indian treaty more than 150 years old is a complicated process. http://www.mprnews.org/stor...
Margaret Maurice, 69, was scared as she lay on an operating table in Prince Albert on Jan. 21, waiting for a surgeon to take out her appendix. A couple of hours later, after the anesthesia wore off, Maurice woke up in a recovery room at Victoria Hospital and discovered three bloodied bandages on her belly and a surprising revelation. "One of the nurses told me, 'You had no appendix.' And that was it," Maurice told CBC News. "Then I couldn't ask any questions, because they weren't around anymore." http://www.cbc.ca/news/canad...
The Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 is a big win for Indian country, according to the National Indian Education Association. Executive Director Ahniwake Rose, Cherokee/Creek, and Federal Policy Associate Dimple Patel explained why in a January 27 webinar, “Understanding the Every Student Succeeds Act.” ESSA, signed into law by President Obama on December 10, reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, a piece of civil rights legislation meant to protect the nation’s most vulnerable children. ESSA replaces the 2001 No Ch...
