WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced his support for the first major rewrite of the nation's criminal justice sentencing laws in a generation, but it remains to be seen whether the proposal can pass Congress. Trump said the bill "will make our communities safer and give former inmates a second chance at life after they have served their time." Trump hailed the deal as proof that "true bipartisanship is possible" — though no Democrats attended the White House announcement. http://www.startribune.com/trum...

Managing the nation’s landscapes with carbon in mind — from prairies to farms to urban and northern forests — could cut greenhouse gas emissions as much as 21 percent annually, or about equal to the discharge of all cars and trucks on the road today.

With Thanksgiving and turkey dinners just around the corner, food-safety investigators are still trying to pinpoint the source of drug-resistant salmonella that has shown up in some raw turkey around the country over the past year.

As Democrats take control of the U.S. House of Representatives for the first time since 2010, they could usher in some big changes in how Washington approaches education and a lot more oversight of U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.

Bobby Scott, D-Va., is set to be the next chairman of the House education committee in the 116th Congress as a result of last week's midterm elections. He would replace Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., who's been the committee chairwoman for the past two...
