  • Russia used every major social media platform to help elect, support Trump, report says

    Dec 17, 2018

    WASHINGTON – A report prepared for the Senate that provides the most sweeping analysis yet of Russia’s disinformation campaign around the 2016 election found the operation used every major social media platform to deliver words, images and videos tailored to voters’ interests to help elect President Donald Trump — and worked even harder to support him while in office. The report, a draft of which was obtained by the Washington Post, is the first to study the millions of posts provided by major technology firms to the Senate Intelli...

  • Minnesota has plenty of jobs, but health insurance? No

    Dec 17, 2018

    Nine years into a robust economic expansion, with Minnesota’s unemployment rate at historic lows, the number of people on public health insurance for the poor is still at historic highs. Back in 2013, when Minnesota’s unemployment rate was 5 percent, the state had 740,000 people on Medical Assistance, also known as Medicaid. Since then, unemployment has fallen to 2.8 percent, while Medicaid rolls have grown every year, reaching 1.1 million. http://www.startribune.com/minnesota-has-plenty-of-jobs-but-health-insurance-no/50288...

  • Relentless Vikings pound Miami 41-17 at U.S. Bank Stadium

    Dec 17, 2018

    They returned to U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday, six days after coming perilously close to being shut out in Seattle and five after executing a change at offensive coordinator that seemed weeks in the making. Badly in need of a victory against a curious Dolphins team that harbored slim playoff hopes despite winning just once this season on the road, the Vikings did on Sunday what they usually do to such opponents at U.S. Bank Stadium. http://www.startribune.com/relentless-viking...

  • As sanctions squeeze, North Korea threatens to keep its nukes

    Dec 17, 2018

    SEOUL – North Korea warned on Sunday that if the U.S. continues to escalate its sanctions and human rights campaign against the North, that approach could permanently shatter any chance of denuclearizing the country. Washington is holding fast to its policy of exerting “maximum” economic and diplomatic pressure on North Korea, even though President Donald Trump has claimed progress in denuclearizing the North since his meeting with Kim Jong Un in June. http://www.startribune.com/as-sanctions-squeeze-north-korea-threatens-to-...

  • Democratic gains raise odds for gun control in Minnesota

    Dec 17, 2018

    MINNEAPOLIS — A shift in the balance of power at the state Capitol has boosted the odds of lawmakers passing bills to reduce gun violence during the upcoming legislative session. The Democratic takeover of the Minnesota House includes so many freshmen who support tougher gun laws that staunch gun control opponents now consider the chamber to be hostile territory. The Senate, where the GOP maintains a one-vote majority, remains a question mark, though the chamber's top Republican, Majority Leader Paul Gazelka of Nisswa, has signaled "some o...

  • Wisconsin is home to the nation's first Indian-owned distillery

    Dec 17, 2018

    RED CLIFF, Wis. – One of the last relics of federal prohibition may soon come to an end, after Congress voted late last month to lift a 184-year-old ban that prohibited distilleries on tribal lands. Once signed into law, American Indians across the country can tap into the budding industry of craft spirits on their own lands, no longer stifled by a policy from a time when federal authorities forcibly removed tribes from their homelands and enacted discriminatory statutes aimed at choking off Native wealth. http://www.startri...

  • Minnesota election saw surge in American Indian voters, candidates

    J. Patrick Coolican, Star Tribune|Dec 17, 2018

    If not for the American Indian population, which comprises 13 percent of Bemidji, John Persell probably would not have won his Minnesota House seat. Persell, a Democrat who won by 11 votes, is just one illustration of the ascendance this year of American Indian voters - and candidates. Lt. Gov.-elect Peggy Flanagan, a member of the White Earth Nation, won one of the most high-profile seats. She was part of a wave of Indian candidates running this year. "We've been doing the work as far as voter...
