WASHINGTON – Critics continue to push back against the Trump administration’s plan to gather and scrutinize American voter data. “This presidential Commission on Election Integrity is a commission in search of a problem,” said U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who joined with other Senate Democrats Tuesday to call on the administration to rescind its request and to ask the Department of Justice to rule on whether the White House had the authority to request and compile election data from all 50 states. “A study recently found that out of 1 billion v...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The issue of whether to preserve, shrink or revoke the protected status of two dozen U.S. national monuments drew more than 2 million public comments ahead of a report to be issued by Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to President Donald Trump next month.

LINCOLN — The lack of law enforcement in the unincorporated village of Whiteclay, Nebraska, has allowed “epidemic” liquor-related problems rivaling “Chicago in the Roaring Twenties,” the Nebraska Supreme Court was told Monday. Attorneys for the State Liquor Control Commission submitted written legal arguments on Monday to support the commission’s decision in April to shut down the beer stores in the northwest Nebraska border town. http://www.omaha.com/news/nebraska/whiteclay-s-liquor-related-problems-rival-chicago-in-the-roa...
An inquest underway in Cat Lake First Nation is unlikely to provide the accountability the northern Ontario community wants in the death of a 34-year-old man who died in a nursing station after being pepper-sprayed, kicked, hit, handcuffed and stepped on by police, the community's chief says. Romeo Wesley had sought help from a Health Canada nursing station four times over two days in September 2010 for an escalating series of symptoms. When a nurse became concerned about Wesley's behaviour, police were called. http://www.cb...
