If you’re tempted by the tiny house movement and think 160 square feet is just about right for your needs, you may want to contact the Academy of Construction and Design (ACAD) at IDEA Public Charter School in Northeast Washington. Students in the program built a micro house with a kitchen, a bathroom, a sleeping loft with space for a queen-size bed and a storage loft, all set on a trailer for mobility. The exterior of the house was part of a sustainable living exhibit in 2015 and was moved to the IDEA campus so students could work with b...
Students in Asia have been notified that their scores on the writing section of last month's ACT college-entrance exam are being canceled, in the latest example of how standardized test makers are struggling to contain an international epidemic of cheating. The incident comes just months after ACT Inc, the Iowa-based nonprofit that operates the test, was forced to cancel its exam for all takers in South Korea and Hong Kong. That incident, in June, marked the first time the high-stakes exam was canceled for an entire country....
U.S. intelligence agencies do not see Russia as capable of using cyberespionage to alter the outcome of Tuesday’s presidential election, but they have warned that Moscow may continue meddling after the voting has ended to sow doubts about the legitimacy of the result, U.S. officials said. The assessment reflects widespread concern among U.S. spy agencies that a monthslong campaign by Russia to rattle the mechanisms of American democracy will probably continue after polls close on one of the most polarizing races in recent history, extending a...

The Shakopee School District sent a vaguely worded note to families Wednesday about “an alleged situation on Tuesday involving two of our students at Shakope...
The city of Minneapolis began the process this week to revoke the 62 rental licenses of Stephen Frenz, one of the city’s biggest landlords. The action comes after a monthslong housing court battle over a rundown south Minneapolis apartment building. The case revealed that Spiros Zorbalas, a landlord banned by the city, was a business partner in Frenz’s properties. Thousands of tenants could be affected if the city strips Frenz of the rental licenses. The city has identified at least 1,300 tenants who live in the apartments and believe the tot...
After deliberating for two days, a jury in St. Paul found former entrepreneur Bryan Reichel guilty Thursday on 11 counts of fraud, but not guilty of concealing bankruptcy estate property.

MNsure officials say call volumes, wait times and website functions have been back to normal the last two days, as the state's health insurance exchange shakes off what a top official called "suspicious" behavior earlier this week on the phone lines.

CANNON BALL, N.D. — Hundreds of clergy of various faiths joined protests Thursday against the Dakota Access oil pipeline in southern North Dakota, singing hymns, marching and ceremonially burning a copy of a 600-year-old document.

The tribe believes the pipeline t...
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Donald Trump warned Thursday that a cloud of investigation would follow Hillary Clinton into the White House, evoking the bitter impeachment battle of the 1990s in a closing campaign argument meant to bring wayward Republicans home. Clinton and her allies, led by President Barack Obama, told voters to get serious about the dangers of Trump. As polls show Trump closing in on Clinton in key battleground states, her campaign is rushing to shore up support in some long-standing Democratic strongholds. That includes the c...

Last week, the world watched in horror as a massive militarized police force attacked prayerful indigenous water protectors fighting for the water of 18 million people. Over and over, people were brutalized, pulled out of sweat lodges while in ceremony wearing only their underwear. Medics and journalists were arrested alongside water protectors. Cars were searched and impounded, personal possessions were taken by police. Everyone by now has seen the videos of the assault last Thursday. Here at Standing Rock, the age-old story of government...

When Hillary Clinton campaigned in Washington state in March, she met privately with tribal leaders at a Puyallup Indian Reservation school. At the event, Clinton listened to tribal concerns and was presented with a traditional blanket and an honorary Indian name meaning “strong woman.” Four months later, the Puyallups provided a less sentimental but more lucrative gift: a check for $353,400 to the Hillary Victory Fund. http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/power-couples-tribes-among-states-big-donors-to-the-clin...
On November 3, 1884, the United States Supreme Court issued one of its most controversial decisions, when it said that American Indians who paid taxes didn’t have the right to vote in elections. It would take 40 years for a series of legal changes to make full citizenship a reality for all American Indians living in the United States, despite the 14th Amendment’s promise of equal protection and due process under the law for all Americans. http://blog.constitutioncenter.org/2016/11/on-this-day-supreme-court-says-tax-paying-in...
