Hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans will get more money in their pockets thanks to tax cuts beginning July 1, costing the state treasury about $650 million over the next two years and much more over the coming decade. Social Security recipients, farmers, first-time home buyers, families with child care costs, small businesses with big property tax bills and college loan debtors are among the beneficiaries. The chief author of the cuts, Rep. Greg Davids, R-Preston, cheekily called it “the greatest tax bill ever” as he lauded its relief for a r...

WASHINGTON – Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and President Donald Trump don’t agree on much about Russia’s meddling in the 2016 U.S. elections, but they agree on this: President Barack Obama should have done more to stop Moscow from interfering. Obama made a “very serious mistake” in not doing more about Russia’s intervention in the presidential election campaign, Schiff, the top-ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday. http://www.startribune.com/key-democrat-agrees-with-trump-obama-should-have-acted-on...
UPPER RED LAKE, Minn. – The electric trolling motor on the bow of our fishing boat rattled in its horizontal mount as we pounded across 4-foot swells of foaming, root beer-colored water en route to a promising jigging hole. The boat belly-flopped into the ebb of a big wave, springing the motor upright, then down with a loud clunk. Not good. http://www.startribune.com/on-upper-red-lake-fishing-is-simply-a-breeze/430588093/...

This Date in Native History: Representatives from many Native nations of the Plains came together for the 138th anniversary of the Battle of Little Big Horn on June 25, 2014, where a re-dedication ceremony of the newly completed Indian Memorial will take place. The Big Horn Riders arrived from Pine Ridge in two groups of 20, “as they do each year in memory of the battle,” Doug Bissonette, the Pine Ridge spokesman for the family of Crazy Horse said. Northern Cheyenne youth, whose ancestors fought at Little Big Horn, participated with a run to...
The following essay appeared last year on the 140th anniversary of one of the most discussed conflicts in U.S. history. And one of the most distorted. I am repeating it with a few tweaks—MB. ••• ••• ••• Today marks the 141st anniversary of the Little Big Horn Battle, known as Custer’s Last Stand to Americans at the time and ever afterward. Remembered as the Battle of the Greasy Grass among the Lakota (Sioux), Cheyenne and Arapahoe, it’s hard to overstate how much the 7th Cavalry’s defeat in the hills of Montana that June day in 1876 affected...

Since the election, Sherman Alexie’s been getting death threats. He got so many leading up to his commencement speech at Washington’s Gonzaga University in late May that he considered canceling his appearance. “I’m a Commie liberal brown dude,” he told me on a sunny June day in Seattle, where he’s lived for the last 20 years. “I don’t believe them, but it still creates such fear — like with the candidates dropping out of races because of death threats. I don’t think it would happen to them, and I don’t think it’s going to happen to me. But I...

Here’s how it works: Scammers are using auto-dialers to call cell phone numbers across the country. Scammers let the phone ring once — just enough for a missed call message to pop up. The scammers hope you’ll call back, either because you believe a legitimate call was cut off, or you will be curious about who called. If you do, chances are you’ll hear something like, “Hello. You’ve reached the operator, please hold.” All the while, you’re getting slammed with some hefty charges — a per-minute charge on top of an international rate. The calls ar...
