    Apr 23, 2024

    NEW YORK - Donald Trump oversaw a "planned, coordinated, long-running conspiracy to influence the 2016 election," which included hush money payments to an adult-film actress, prosecutors told a jury Monday in the opening salvo of the first criminal trial of a former U.S. president.

  • House Republican infighting getting worse after foreign aid vote

    Apr 23, 2024

    The House came together Saturday to pass a sweeping $95 billion foreign aid package, a rare moment of bipartisan cooperation in the closely divided chamber.

In social media posts and TV interviews afterward, House Republicans took aim at one another - in unusually sharp terms - over the events that led up to the vote....

  • Rooftop solar panels are flooding California's grid. That's a problem.

    Apr 23, 2024

    In sunny California, solar panels are everywhere. They sit in dry, desert landscapes in the Central Valley and are scattered over rooftops in Los Angeles's urban center. By last count, the state had nearly 47 gigawatts of solar power installed - enough to power 13.9 million homes and provide over a quarter of the Golden State's electricity.

  • Prehistoric lake sturgeon is not endangered, US says despite calls from conservationists

    Apr 23, 2024

    MADISON, Wis. — Lake sturgeon don't need Endangered Species Act protections, federal wildlife officials announced Monday, saying that stocking programs have helped the prehistoric fish return to areas where they had vanished. The decision ends the Arizona-based Center of Biological Diversity's petition filed in May 2018 asking the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to list lake sturgeon as endangered or threatened. Such listings would make harvesting the fish illegal, but without them, popular sturgeon harvest seasons in states such as Wisconsin a...
