PHILADELPHIA — Seeking to bridge deep Democratic divides, Bernie Sanders robustly embraced his former rival Hillary Clinton Monday night as a champion for the same economic causes that enlivened his supporters, signaling it was time for them, too, to rally behind her in the campaign against Republican Donald Trump. "Any objective observer will conclude that — based on her ideas and her leadership — Hillary Clinton must become the next president of the United States," he declared in a headlining address on the opening night of the Democ...
The number of people who have died on Minnesota roads this year passed the 200 mark Monday when a semi driver was killed in a rear-end crash involving another big rig northwest of Duluth, the State Patrol said. A 52-year-old man from Chisholm, Minn., was driving a semitrailer truck northbound on Hwy. 53 about 4 p.m. when he stuck another semitrailer truck from behind at the intersection of Shipley Road in St. Louis County.

A 90-year-old convicted sex offender was caught at the Edina municipal pool exposing and fondling himself in front of teenage girls, according to prosecutors. Lloyd K. Rudy, of Eden Prairie, was charged with felony fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct in connection with the incident last Tuesday at the Edina Aquatic Center. When Rudy was arrested, he had with him a bag containing three sex toys, according to the criminal complaint filed in Hennepin County District Court. Rudy was jailed that afternoon and released after posting bond. His...
Before it was even gaveled in on Monday, the Democratic National Convention started on the wrong note, with a damaging leak of e-mails that cast the party in the worst possible light and threw further doubts on the veracity of the nominee it is supposed to showcase this week. Democrats were right to remove Debbie Wasserman Schultz from her role in the convention, and her resignation as DNC chairwoman is a needed first step. But that can’t be the only repair work. The DNC’s mishandling of the primary has been flawed from the beginning, sta...
General Mills is expanding its national flour recall for the second time after more people were sickened due to E. coli in its products. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 46 people have become ill from E. coli contamination of its flour, with one person in Indiana having developed a type of kidney failure. The number of cases in Minnesota has risen from three to five — the most of any of the 21 states with cases. General Mills in May recalled batches of its Gold Medal, Wondra and Signature Kitchens flour made during three w...
SAGAMIHARA, Japan — At least 19 people were killed and about 20 wounded in a knife attack Tuesday at a facility for the handicapped in a city just outside Tokyo in the worst mass killing in generations in Japan. Police said they responded to a call at about 2:30 a.m. from an employee saying something horrible was happening at the facility in the city of Sagamihara, 50 kilometers (30 miles) west of Tokyo. A man turned himself in at a police station about two hours later, police in Sagamihara said. He left the knife in his car when he entered t...
PHILADELPHIA -- U.S. Sen. Al Franken leaned on his comedy roots in a short speech to the Democratic National Convention on Monday night made up largely of ridicule for Republican candidate Donald Trump. “I’m Al Franken – Minnesotan, senator and world renowned expert on right-wing megalomaniacs,” Franken said in a prime time speech from the stage of the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. “Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly and now Donald Trump.” Franken, of course, was a “Saturday Night Live” writer and performer for years before shifting into a c...
LOS ANGELES — Flames raced down a steep hillside "like a freight train," leaving smoldering remains of homes and forcing thousands to flee the wildfire churning through tinder-dry canyons in Southern California, authorities said Sunday. The fire that has destroyed at least 18 homes in northern Los Angeles County gained ferocious new power two days after it broke out, sending so much smoke in the air that planes making drops on it had to be grounded for part of the afternoon. "For this time of year, it's the most extreme fire behavior I've s...
PHILADELPHIA – Edward Manuel ticks off the issues – water shortages, federal approval of mining projects, allocation of scarce resources – all decisions made with what he thinks is insufficient input from the nation’s tribes. That’s why Manuel, the chairman of the Tohono O’odham Nation, joined scores of tribal leaders who called on the next president to have a strong Native American presence in political discussions, something they said has been happening under the Obama administration. “Our voice, tribal voice,” was the mantra during Monday’s...
Tribal leaders, delegates and candidates from all over the country turned up in record-breaking numbers at this year's Democratic National Convention, which kicks off today in Philadelphia. Underscoring its commitment to uphold the government's treaty obligations with America's 567 federally recognized Indian tribes, the DNC has dedicated a lengthy plank in its platform to the most pressing issues confronting Indian communities in the 21st century. As pre-convention events got under way over the weekend, controversy around leaked DNC emails...
It was a long, bitter week at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland―an event that was supposed to be the coronation of Donald J. Trump as the party’s nominee and a celebration of unity after a year-long, contentious primary season in which 17 candidates had winnowed to one. Instead, the atmosphere inside Quicken Loans Arena was marked by open, internecine warfare within the party, charges of plagiarism, disorganization and nonsensical programming headlined by a colorful array of nightly speakers plucked from reality shows and Tru...
Healthcare, gay marriage, voting rights, affirmative action, reproductive rights, labor rights, immigration, climate change. These are some of the crucial issues that have come before the Supreme Court in recent years or will be heard this year. A cliché we hear every presidential cycle is that the Court should be one of the most important issues in the election, but this year, following the death of Antonin Scalia, it’s never been truer. The next president will almost certainly appoint one or more justices, especially if Republicans zeal...
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — The former head of the Chippewa Cree Tribe's water resource department went on trial Monday on charges that he lied to federal authorities investigating a contaminated drinking water tank used by dozens of homes on the Rocky Boy Indian Reservation. Jonathan Jay Eagleman has pleaded not guilty to making false statements to a federal agency and demanded a jury trial, which got underway Monday in U.S. District Court in Great Falls with jury selection and opening arguments. On Aug. 30, 2012, two workers for the tribe's water d...
A group of people prayed and sang for wild rice on Pigeon Lake Sunday after large quantities were ripped from the water. About a dozen people paddled in five canoes from Flood's Landing in Ennismore to the Birch Point Dr. area, where rice had been torn away. Caleb Musgrave organized the event after discovering an area of wild rice missing equaling the size of three Olympic swimming pools. http://www.thepeterboroughexaminer.com/2016/07/25/prayers-song-for-wild-rice-pulled-from-lake...
Hundreds of volunteers spent their weekend at Long Plain First Nation picking up shingles, toys and pieces of homes after a tornado tore through the southern Manitoba community last week. Environment Canada says an enhanced Fujita scale 1 (EF-1) tornado touched down and travelled at least eight kilometres on Wednesday, tearing roofs off houses, flipping vehicles and bringing down trees at the First Nation. "[The cleanup is] going very well," Chief Dennis Meeches said on Sunday afternoon. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitob...

The shooting sparked widespread condemnation but authorities said officer Austin Shipley won't face any criminal charges for his conduct. "After a careful review of the facts surrounding this case, including available video evidence and witness statements from all involved, my office has found...
A California man is due in court on Monday to face charges in connection with the brutal beating and robbery of a disabled member of the Nisqually Tribe. Corey Joe Foye, 25, is accused of striking the 54-year-old victim numerous times in the face and head on July 12, The Alpenhorn News reported.
