It said Islamist militants, or armed criminal elements closely associated with...

U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee of California issued the scathing order Friday afternoon, saying the Trump administration had failed to provide even the most basic health protections for children and their families amid the pandemic.

Summer is a great time to get outside and enjoy the nature we have in Minnesota, and many of us have hobbies that get us into the woods or onto the trails. Think back to the last time you went hiking, horseback riding, biking, camping, ATV riding, or whatever it is you like to do outside – did you remember to clean your equipment, clothes, or pets before heading home or off to your next adventure? It may not be on your radar yet, but invasive plants can be spread accidentally as we r...

A federal appeals court in California on Friday ruled that the Trump administration’s use of Pentagon funding to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border is illegal. In a 2-1 ruling, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals found that President Trump’s diversion of defense, military and other funding — billions of dollars that were not originally earmarked for border wall construction — violated the Appropriations Clause of the Constitution, which gives Congress the exclusive power of the purse. “These funds were appropriated for other purposes,...
The House on Friday approved landmark legislation granting statehood to Washington, D.C., in a 232-180 vote. The vote was historic, marking the first time either chamber has passed legislation to elevate the District to the 51st state — and empower its residents with long-sought voting representation within the halls of Congress. Calls for Washington, D.C., to gain statehood have gained steam amid the national calls for racial justice that have followed the police killing of George Floyd last month. https://thehill.com/homen...
Yesterday, the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe filed suit against President Donald Trump, Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Dr. Deborah Birx, and other federal officials for abusing federal authority to force the Tribe to dismantle health checkpoints the Tribe uses to screen people for COVID-19 coming onto their reservation in central South Dakota. The White House and the Bureau of Indian Affairs began a campaign against the health checkpoints after South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem appealed to Trump for help in her fight against the Indian tribe....
It's another one of those Trump Era realities best described as unsurprising but nevertheless shocking. Three serious research efforts have put numerical weight - yes, data-driven evidence - behind what many suspected all along: Americans who relied on Fox News, or similar right-wing sources, were duped as the coronavirus began its deadly spread. Dangerously duped. https://www.ctpost.com/opinion/article/The-data-is-in-Fox-News-may-have-kept-millions-15371951.php...
Those face masks you see with coin-sized valves on the front may look intriguing but they are not as good at preventing the spread of the novel coronavirus as the seemingly lower-tech, non-valved masks. Some masks designed for hot, dusty construction work - where the intent is to filter out dust before it hits the wearer's lungs - have "exhaust" valves that allow the exhaled air to flow out more easily, to keep the mask-wearer cooler. The 3M company, which makes valve masks for such occupations, illustrates on its website how they work:...

The president has privately come to that grim realization in recent days, multiple people close to him told POLITICO, amid a mountain of bad polling and warnings from some of his staunchest allies that he's on course to be a one-term president. Trump has endured what aides describe as the worst stretch of his presidency, marred by widespread criticism over his response to the coronavirus pandemic and nationwide racial unrest. His rally in Oklahoma last weekend, his first since March, turned out...

Samantha Honani's son hasn't completed a school assignment in months. After his high school on the Hopi Reservation in Arizona shut down in March, he finished about three weeks of distance learning via his family's computer. Then, in April, he stopped hearing from his teachers. Caught up in the tumult of Covid-19 and the struggles of sharing one computer with subpar internet, academics faded to an afterthought, Honani said. "There was a breakdown in communication in the school and the students," said Honani, who works as a program manager for...
Authorities in Mendocino County located more than 32,000 marijuana plants during recent raids of illegal pot farms. The raids were a part of a broader crackdown on the increasing number of marijuana grows on tribal land in Covelo designated for Round Valley Indian Tribe members, Mendocino County Sheriff's Lt. Shannon Barney said. Many of the large-scale grows discovered by authorities have been started from people from outside the area, he added. "It's basically a focused effort to deal with...
