Attorneys general for the District of Columbia and the state of Maryland say they will sue President Donald Trump on Monday, alleging that he has violated anticorruption clauses in the Constitution by accepting millions in payments and benefits from foreign governments since moving into the White House. The lawsuit, the first of its kind brought by government entities, centers on the fact that Trump chose to retain ownership of his company when he became president. Trump said in January that he was shifting his business assets into a trust...
A powerful thunderstorm raced into the Twin Cities from the west Sunday morning, bringing heavy rain, thunder and strong winds, ripping down trees and causing property damage. Hail in many Twin Cities communities was so thick that it resembled several inches of snow. http://www.startribune.com/severe-storms-on-doorstep-of-twin-cites-trees-down-in-western-minn/427774273/...
A man was found shot to death early Sunday just south of downtown Minneapolis, police said.

Authorities have identified the 37-year-old man who was fatally shot on the front stoop of a house in north Minneapolis. Melvin A.

NEW YORK — Sen. Charles Schumer says President Donald Trump's plan to privatize the nation's air traffic control system could mean higher costs for consumers. The New York Democrat and Senate minority leader said Sunday that the plan Trump announced on June 5 would give airlines too much control over costs. http://www.startribune.com/schumer-opposes-trump-plan-to-privatize-air-traffic-control/427761543/...
WASHINGTON — Fellow Republicans pressed President Donald Trump on Sunday to come clean about whether he has tapes of private conversations with former FBI Director James Comey and provide them to Congress if he does — or possibly face a subpoena, as a Senate investigation into collusion with Russia or obstruction of justice extended to a Trump Cabinet member. It was a sign of escalating fallout from riveting testimony from Comey last week of undue pressure from Trump, which drew an angry response from the president on Friday that Comey was lyi...
The annual Svitak fish fry was the highlight of my summer as a child. After my father brought home the fish, the work fell to my mother, who dipped walleye and northern pike into eggwash and crushed cornflakes. The oil in the deep fryer crackled as she dropped in the fillets, her face flushed from the heat. Once cooked, the fillets were sprinkled with enough salt to give a doctor a heart attack, before my mother served them with lemon wedges and a big smile. It was the best meal of the year. http://www.startribune.com/get-fr...
Scientific instruments discovered what appears to be a mass grave -- jumbled bones and other items scattered throughout the cemetery on the north side of the church -- as the search for nearly 2,000 bodies buried at Old Mission Santa Inés continued Wednesday. The results are not unexpected for archaeologists familiar with burials at California missions. http://syvnews.com/news/local/continuing-search-for-bodies-reveals-mass-grave-at-mission-santa/article_ce866016-85f9-5141-900c-a254c2b7dffe.html...
The June afternoon heat had hit its peak last week as two dogs lay quietly in the dirt. Brown and black with scruffy hair, they lingered in a scrap of shade beneath a towering McDonald’s sign on the side of U.S. Highway 160 in Tuba City. Only when a tourist walked close by with his own leashed pup did the dogs rouse themselves to bark half-heartedly. http://azdailysun.com/news/local/no-easy-answer-for-stray-animals-on-the-rez/article_6c67df99-80ad-5c1b-8600-3fde0168bb6b.html...
TUCSON, Ariz. — Police on the Tohono O’odham reservation in southern Arizona are investigating a body that was found hanging from a tree near the village of Santa Cruz. Officials with the Tucson sector of the U.S. Customs and Border Protections say air interdiction agents aboard an Air and Marine Operations helicopter reported seeing what they believed to be a deceased person hanging from a tree Wednesday. http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/briefs/tribal-police-investigate-body-found-hanging-from-a-tree/article_40994566-5...
Recent developments in the legal dispute between the Northern Arapaho Tribe and federal government on the Wind River Reservation in central Wyoming suggest a resolution may not be near after all. The tribe and the Bureau of Indian Affairs moved to settle in March, after a federal judge ruled in favor of the Arapaho in several key aspects of the case last fall that deals with how federal money is distributed to the tribes. http://trib.com/news/state-and-regional/once-appearing-near-settlement-wind-river-legal-dispute-drags-on...

On June 11, 1971, the 19-month occupation of Alcatraz Island ended when federal marshals removed the last of the protestors. Three Coast Guard cutters bearing 20 armed marshals arrived on the island at 1:45 p.m., the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Fifteen Indians—six men, four women and five children—“surrendered peacefully.” No arrests were made. https://indiancountrymedianetwork.com/history/events/today-native-history-occupation-alcatraz-island-ends/...
