Federal officials have agreed to recognize Connecticut pardons as legally valid again and stop deporting people who have been pardoned for their crimes by a state board, reversing a hard-line stance taken by the Trump administration, authorities announced Friday. Connecticut Attorney General William Tong said the departments of Justice and Homeland Security under Trump had abandoned six decades of practice by singling out Connecticut and refusing to acknowledge its pardons — because they are issued by a board instead of the governor. Five other states — Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, South Carolina and Utah — have similar pardon systems, but the federal government did not stop recognizing their pardons, Tong said. The five states are more conservative than … [Read more...] about Federal officials reverses hard-line stance from Trump administration by acknowledging Connecticut pardons

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A federal judge on Friday reinstated a moratorium on coal leasing from federal lands that was imposed under former President Barack Obama and then scuttled under former President Donald Trump. The ruling from U.S. District Judge Brian Morris requires government officials to conduct a new environmental review before they can resume coal sales from federal lands. Almost half the nation’s annual coal production — some 260 million tons last year — is mined by private companies from leases on federal land, primarily in Western states such as Wyoming, Montana and Colorado. Few coal leases were sold in recent years after demand for the fuel shrank drastically. But the industry’s opponents had urged Morris to revive the Obama-era moratorium to ensure it can’t make a comeback as wildfires, drought, rising sea levels and other effects of climate change worsen. Coal combustion for electricity remains one of the top sources of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, even … [Read more...] about Judge revives Obama-era ban on coal sales from federal lands

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 5 DENVER (AP) — The fliers piled up in mailboxes in central South Dakota like snow during a high-plains blizzard: “Transgender Sex Education in Schools?” one asked. “Vote Against Sex Ed Radical Mary Duvall for State Senate.” The mailers were part of a $58,000 campaign against the five-term Republican lawmaker, an enormous sum of money in a place where the cost of running for a statehouse seat is typically in the low five figures. Despite the subject of the attack ads, Duvall was targeted not for her stance on sex education but for her opposition to a longshot bid by some conservatives to force a convention to amend the U.S. Constitution. “I knew they were angry at me, but I had no idea this was going to be coming during my primary campaign,” said Duvall, who ended up losing her race by 176 votes. Duvall opposed legislation that would have added South Dakota to 19 other … [Read more...] about GOP spends big in state-level effort to change Constitution

NEW YORK - FBI agents who searched former president Donald Trump's Florida home this week removed 11 sets of classified documents including some marked as top secret, the US Justice Department said on Friday (Aug 12) while also disclosing that prosecutors had probable cause to believe Trump may have violated the Espionage Act. The bombshell disclosures were made in a search warrant and accompanying legal documents released four days after FBI agents carried out the search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach based on a warrant approved by a federal magistrate judge. The Espionage Act, one of three laws cited in the warrant application, dates to 1917 and makes it a crime to release information that could harm national security. Trump, in a statement on his social media platform, said the records at issue were "all declassified" and placed in "secure storage." "They didn't need to 'seize' anything. They could have had it anytime they wanted without playing politics and … [Read more...] about FBI seized top secret documents at Trump’s home; Espionage Act cited

There is a relatively new cockroach invading California and it’s certain to have some people cowering under their covers. Sightings of the Turkestan cockroach have become increasingly common as the bug establishes itself in the Golden State and emerges in the warmer weather. The roaches have been around for about a decade, entomologists say, which make them a newer arrival as a common pest. The population seems to be growing slowly but steadily. According to entomologists and vector control officers, the heat, as well as the drought, may be making them more visible, particularly in the hotter regions of the state, as the creatures search for water. Seven years ago, Alameda County’s Vector Control Services received no calls involving the Turkestan cockroaches, said Daniel Wilson, a spokesman for the agency. In the past 18 months, they have received 33 calls. Most people who spot an invasion of roaches are likely to call an exterminator, Wilson said, so the newcomers are likely … [Read more...] about Turkestan cockroaches are invading California.
