  • Trump-GOP split: Senators loudly oppose Mexico tariff threat

    Jun 5, 2019

    WASHINGTON — In a rare confrontation, Republican senators declared deep opposition Tuesday to President Donald Trump's threatened tariffs on all goods coming into the U.S. from Mexico. But it's unclear they have the votes to stop him, and Trump said they'd be "foolish" to try. All sides, including officials from Mexico meeting with Trump negotiators in Washington this week, remain hopeful that high-level talks will ease the president away from his threat. But with the tariffs set to start next Monday — and Trump declaring them "more lik...

    Jun 5, 2019

    Imagine if Republicans and Democrats worked together to pass reforms that improve the lives of millions of people.

    Michael Barrett, RLNN|Jun 5, 2019

    The Red Lake Lady Warriors lost in 5 innings to Blackduck 21-4 in Red Lake on Monday, May 13, 2019. The Junior Varsity also dropped their game. Part of the problem could have been they were released from class at 10:30 that morning for an 11 AM game, which would have only gave them about 10 to 15 minutes to get their uniforms on, get to the field, and start playing. They didn't have much time to warm up. The loss gave Red Lake a 3-3 record on the season. Red Lake's Lady Warriors will play Pine...
