A group of tribal youth in the small northern Minnesota village of Ball Club are leading a Native nation rebuilding project that will result in a new park for their community. Leech Lake youth have been working with the Circle of Healing group to design and fundraise for a new park in the Ball Club's second village neighborhood. The proposed playground will take the shape of a turtle, or Mikinaak, to honor the Ojibwe culture and language. The playground will be accessible for people of all...
Workers and volunteers in downtown Minneapolis swept up glass, boarded up buildings and assessed the emotional toll of another night in a summer of civil unrest Thursday after rioters damaged more than 40 buildings overnight, this time sparked by a false rumor that police had killed a man. More than 1,000 uniformed personnel including 400 National Guard members and 250 State Patrol troopers stood ready to quell potential disturbances Thursday night as an 8 p.m. curfew fell upon both Minneapolis...
Facing a major budget shortfall, the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) is preparing to lay off staff and slash millions of dollars in spending on state-run programs that serve vulnerable populations as well as sex offenders. The budget cuts, disclosed in a memo to state employees Wednesday, include shifting the operation of some group homes for people with disabilities to private operators and the termination of a satellite program for treating sex offenders at the state prison in...
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump blasted Joe Biden as a hapless career politician who will endanger Americans' safety as he accepted his party's renomination Thursday on the South Lawn of the White House. While the coronavirus kills 1,000 Americans each day, Trump defied his own administration's pandemic guidelines to speak for more than an hour to a tightly packed, largely maskless crowd. Facing a moment fraught with racial turmoil, economic collapse and a national health emergency, Trump delivered a triumphant, optimistic vision of...
A 51-year-old man threatened in a phone message to kill Gov. Tim Walz over his endorsement of Ilhan Omar for Congress, according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday. Shawn P. Simonson, of Blaine, was charged in Ramsey County District Court with threats of violence in connection with the call he made on Aug. 2 to the governor's public State Capitol line. Simonson was charged by warrant. He declined Thursday to respond to the allegations. https://www.startribune.com/charge-b...
LAKE CHARLES, La. - Remnants of Hurricane Laura unleashed heavy rain and twisters hundreds of miles inland from a path of death and mangled buildings along the Gulf Coast, and forecasters warned an eastern turn would again make the storm a looming threat, this time to the densely populated Eastern Seaboard. Trees were down and power was out as far north as Arkansas, where remnants of the storm that killed at least six people in the United States were centered. The once fearsome Category 4...
Large group COVID-19 outbreaks remain a concern in Minnesota ahead of school reopenings that could accelerate the spread of the infectious disease, but state health officials warned that Thursday's one-day high of 1,158 confirmed cases was an anomaly due to delays by one lab. A glut of 19,000 test results from samples collected in the past two weeks was turned over by Valley Medical after the state contacted the Burnsville-based medical provider about irregular reporting. Among those, 4,658...
A man shot on Minneapolis' South Side early Thursday died at a hospital a few hours later as police searched for his killer, according to officials. The shooting occurred under unknown circumstances in the 3500 block of Chicago Avenue, in the Central neighborhood. The location is several blocks north of where George Floyd was killed three months ago, but officials don't believe that Thursday's homicide had anything to do with the memorial site. The victim's identity hasn't been released, but he...
MILWAUKEE — Three Major League Baseball games were postponed Wednesday as players across the sports landscape drove the decisions in the wake of the weekend shooting by police of Jacob Blake, a Black man, in Wisconsin. Games between the Cincinnati Reds and Brewers in Milwaukee, Seattle Mariners and Padres in San Diego and the Los Angeles Dodgers and Giants in San Francisco were called off hours before they were set to begin. "There are serious issues in this country," Seattle's Dee Gordon tweeted. "For me, and for many of my teammates, the...
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - For the first time in modern history, an American Indian has been executed by the federal government for killing another tribal member on a reservation. Navajo citizen Lezmond Charles Mitchell was put to death by lethal injection on Wednesday evening for his role in the gruesome 2001 murder of 63-year old Alyce Slim, a Navajo woman, and her nine-year old granddaughter, Tiffany Lee. Mitchell's execution took place this evening in Terre Haute, Ind. at the Federal Correctional C...
The COVID-19 data posted today show 1,158 reported new cases and 21,144 reported test results. These higher counts are partially due to a backlog of data belatedly reported by a Minnesota provider and lab, Valley Medical, which has had an inconsistent record of reporting results to the state despite the requirements of the communicable disease reporting rule. After MDH followed up with Valley Medical, the company provided almost 19,000 test results to MDH as required. We have started to process the data, and today’s new cases include a batch...
As Donald Trump's chief strategist in 2016, Steve Bannon helped shape Trump's "America First" campaign. Now, Bannon is inadvertently helping to test Trump's 2020 reelection message: "Me First." On the eve of this week's Republican National Convention, federal authorities arrested Bannon aboard a Chinese billionaire's $28 million, 152-foot yacht and charged Bannon and three other men with defrauding donors giving to a private effort to build a wall along the border with Mexico. Bannon and his...

Anti-Black racism had always bothered John Collins, but he'd never personally done anything about it. That changed after police killed George Floyd in May. Stuck at home and furloughed from work because of the pandemic, Collins had time to watch coverage of the protests Floyd's death had set off and to reflect on the nation's history of racial injustice. https://www.npr.org/2020/08/27/906329303/as-nation-reckons-with-race-poll-finds-white-americans-least-engaged?utm_source=npr_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=20200827...

Fast chargers can fully recharge an EV with a 100-mile range in as little as 20 minutes, depending on the car battery. Chargers will be placed 30 to 70 miles apart along seven proposed...
