RED LAKE -- More than three dozen Red Lakers assembled took off from the reservation's powwow grounds Wednesday in an effort to spread a message of hope, support, health and sobriety. The annual Anishinaabe Spirit Run began under overcast skies, and runners weathered unseasonably cool temperatures and an intermittent drizzle as they headed toward their first stop in Cass Lake.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump bluntly declared on Wednesday his attorney general should terminate "right now" the federal probe into the campaign that took him to the White House, a newly fervent attack on the special counsel investigation that could imperil his presidency. Trump also assailed the trial, just underway, of his former campaign chairman by the special counsel's team. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders scrambled to explain that Trump's tweet was "not an order" and the president was not directing his a...

Of all the messages Cheryl Reeve delivered Tuesday, one stood above the rest. No matter how closely other people are watching the WNBA standings, the Lynx coach ordered her players to ignore them. With so little separation among the top nine teams, Reeve knows there will be plenty of volatility over the final three weeks of the regular season. And the third-place Lynx, who kick off a rugged three-game stretch Thursday at Los Angeles, can ill afford to be distracted. Over the next four days, they play back-to-back road games at fourth-place...
NEW YORK — Wells Fargo agreed Wednesday to pay a $2.1 billion fine to settle allegations it misrepresented the types of mortgages it sold to investors during the housing bubble that ultimately led to the 2008 financial crisis.

Wells Fargo is one of the last remaining big banks to settle charges related to its role in the subprime mortgage crisis. h...

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota residents with autism or obstructive sleep apnea can now qualify for the state’s medical marijuana program. Those additions are effective Wednesday, marking the latest expansion of the program that launched in 2015.

Patients with intractable pain were added to the fold in 2016. The state allowed residents suffe...

Until recently, Bug-O-Nay-Ge-Shig was glaring proof of the federal government's neglect of its treaty obligation to tribal schools.
