Last October, Aiyana James attended her first water potato harvest on the reservation of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe in northwestern Idaho. The weather was unusually cold, but she was determined to harvest her first water potatoes, a small wetland tuber that’s one of the tribe’s key traditional foods. The smell of smoke and drying elk meat filled the air along the shore of Lake Coeur d’Alene, where the tribe set up food booths and educational stations.

    Political Wire, Sunday - 10/20/2024 - 10:26 AM

    New York Times: “Given Mr. Musk’s immense business footprint, he will be a major player no matter who wins the election.” “But he has thrown his fortune and power behind former President Donald J.

It is an image not of shame but of defiance, the image of a man who would be a convicted felon before Election Day and yet possibly president of the United States again afterward,” the New York Times reports. “Sometimes lost amid all the shouting of a high-octane campaign heading into its final couple of weeks is that simple if mind-bending fact.
