  • DPCC REPORT: CUT, CAP & BALANCE IS RYAN PLAN ON STEROIDS

    Jul 21, 2011

    Theater trumps serious solutions this week as Congressional Republicans plan votes on their so-called “Cut, Cap, and Balance” proposal. This reckless plan is the Ryan budget on steroids. It would require even deeper cuts to Medicare and Social Security than the controversial Ryan plan – in fact, under the GOP plan, seniors in 2021 could see their Medicare cut by nearly $2,500 beyond the cuts in the Ryan plan, and they could see their Social Security cut by $3,000 in 2021, with even larger cuts down the road.

  • Tribal members lose immunity ruling

    Abby Simons, Star Tribune|Jul 21, 2011

    Tribal members claiming sovereignty are not immune from the state's statute ordering the civil commitment of sexually dangerous people, the Minnesota Supreme Court ordered Wednesday. The decision upholds an earlier appeals court ruling that the state of Minnesota has the jurisdiction to commit Jeremiah Jerome Johnson, a member of the Bois Forte Band of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, and Lloyd Robert Desjarlais, a member of the Leech Lake Band of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe.

    Jul 21, 2011

    Flagstaff, AZ— A massive coal-mining facility on Black Mesa has a much more damaging effect to a vital local water supply, according to a new report released today.
