REDBY DISTRICT - On Thursday, August 20, 2020, the Red Lake Nation COVID-19 Emergency Response Team offered free testing for anyone 18 years and older at the Oshkiimaajitahdah site from 10 AM -3 PM.

As you probably know by now, we are starting the year in a distance learning scenario. All students will be given a laptop to use to interact with their teachers and complete their assignments. Our schedule is different this year as well. Based on what we learned from last spring, our students will have only 3 (grades 6-9) or 4 (grades 10-12) classes at a single time. They will spend more time on them each day to complete them in a three week time frame. This schedule will be what we follow all...
WILMINGTON, Del. - Joe Biden is accepting the Democratic presidential nomination Thursday night, achieving the pinnacle - so far - of his nearly five-decade political career on the final night of the most unorthodox national convention in modern history. The former vice president is hoping the night helps the Democrats make progress toward not only unifying the diverse party but a deeply divided America struggling through a global pandemic as well. Biden was to be feted by family and former...
Seventeen students at St. Olaf College in Northfield have been suspended for the fall semester after attending an off-campus party where masks were not worn and at least one student present was already infected with COVID-19, the school announced Thursday. "This is the kind of reckless behavior that will put an end to our in-person semester, and it must stop," St. Olaf President David Anderson said. Fifty students need to quarantine due to a lack of social distancing. Much of the quarantine is...
NEW YORK — President Donald Trump’s former chief strategist, Steve Bannon, was pulled from a luxury yacht and arrested Thursday on allegations that he and three associates ripped off donors trying to fund a southern border wall, making him the latest in a long list of Trump allies to be charged with a crime. The organizers of the “We Build The Wall” group portrayed themselves as eager to help the president build a “big beautiful” barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border, as he promised during the 2016 campaign. They raised more than $25 million...
For Ryan Jeffers' first major-league at-bat, there was no easing into it. The 23-year-old approached home base with Ildemaro Vargas looming at third, his speed carrying him to scoring position after a line drive to centerfield. And now the newbie could drive in the Twins' breakthrough run against the Milwaukee Brewers at the bottom of the third inning Thursday. Ryan Jeffers could have understandably failed to rise to the big occasion. Instead he exceeded expectations, smacking first hit and RBI...
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump on Thursday reaffirmed his plan to withdraw all U.S. troops from Iraq as quickly as possible as he met with the prime minister of Iraq to discuss ways to rein in pro-Iran militias in the country and counter residual threats from Islamic State sleeper cells. "We look forward to the day when we don't have to be there," Trump said during an Oval Office meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi. "We were there and now we're getting out. We'll be...
Making the best of an extraordinary and unconventional moment, Minnesota Democrats held an outdoor party on a steamy Thursday night to celebrate the nomination of Joe Biden to run against President Donald Trump in November. The gathering at Nicollet Island in Minneapolis was the only in-person event in Minnesota associated with the Democratic National Convention, which was to be held in Milwaukee before the COVID-19 pandemic pushed much of its programming online, as it has next week's GOP...

Prepare for an onslaught of public service messages begging you to get a shot not only to protect yourself and your vulnerable loved ones but an entire health system already strained by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Everyone needs help sometimes. That is especially true for Minnesotans who have lost their jobs or have been hit hard by COVID-19, especially those in Black, Asian, Latino, Native American and immigrant communities. As I have listened to community members across the state, one of the pressing concerns I’ve heard is that Minnesotans are struggling to put food on their tables The onset of COVID-19 has only heightened that need. In June, more than 426,000 Minnesotans accessed the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – an increase of 11% ove...

MINNEAPOLIS — When Frank Paro and Lisa Bellanger took the helm of the American Indian Movement from Clyde Bellecourt this spring, they became the first nonfounders at the head of the half-century-old grassroots Native advocacy organization. Their ascension marked a generational shift for the social justice group and came on the eve — literally — of what some see as a generational shift in the broader social justice landscape. Paro and Bellanger were tapped as co-chairs of the movement’s Grand Governing Council in late May on the night before...
