In an era when Democratic attorneys general have increasingly taken the lead in opposing Republican President Donald Trump’s agenda, Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson says she keeps doing her job the same way regardless of who’s running the federal or state government. “I get involved in things where I think it’s in Minnesota’s interest to be involved,” Swanson told the Associated Press. “I have approached the job of attorney general as being one that enforces the law and stands up for the Constitution regardless of who the governor migh...

It’s hard to know if President Donald Trump’s plan to arm teachers is a real proposal or just noise to obscure his hapless response to the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida. The idea of “firearms training for school personnel” is on a White House list of measures that patently falls short of being an actual policy to prevent shootings at schools or anywhere else.
