A hastily formed coalition of medical and social service agencies plans a major outreach effort Friday at a homeless camp in south Minneapolis that has alarmed local authorities and American Indian leaders because of its growing size and health risks. Health and social workers plan to sweep through the sprawling settlement, offering to help the tent dwellers find housing, medical care and other social services in a concerted push before any attempt by the state to force people off the site, which is situated on land owned by the Minnesota...
The state’s top police regulator moved Wednesday to improve the handling of sexual assault cases in Minnesota, aiming to have a model policy for investigations and guidelines for officer training ready when the Legislature convenes in January. The steps by the Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) are the most far-reaching of various changes proposed in the wake of a Star Tribune series that has documented widespread failings in the way Minnesota law enforcement agencies investigate rapes and sexual assaults.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump abruptly revoked the security clearance of ex-CIA Director John Brennan on Wednesday, an unprecedented act of retribution against a vocally critical former top U.S. official.

Below, the Star Tribune Editorial Board’s contribution: Let’s start with a fundamental truth: It is and always has been in the interests of the powerful to dismiss and discredit those who could prove a check on their power. President Donald Trump is not the first politician to openly attack the media for fulfill...
In the City of Light, it is now possible to take in a sweeping, flower-filled scene of the River Seine and the historic Notre Dame cathedral — all while emptying one’s bladder in a totally legal, even environmentally friendly way. Parisian leaders are trying to tackle a problem that is evident to anyone who has ever tried to catch a glimpse of a historic site in a historic city and instead caught a foul-smelling whiff of stale urine. http://www.startribune.com/paris-introduces-outdoor-urinals-with-scenic-views/490946341/...
Veterans shouldn’t have to jump through unnecessary hoops to get the benefits they deserve. But the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is doing that to thousands of disabled veterans and wasting millions of dollars in the process. http://www.startribune.com/va-required-thousands-of-unwarranted-reexaminations-for-vets-costing-millions/490970411/...
The DFL and Republican candidates for governor offered contrasting visions for leading the state on Wednesday, setting up a clash over what role state government plays in the lives of Minnesotans. U.S. Rep. Tim Walz, the former Mankato high school teacher who won the three-way DFL primary, offered an expansive view of government that would more effectively educate Minnesotans from prekindergarten to job training, expand government health insurance and pour money into infrastructure spending — with the help of a gas tax increase. h...
