Get up, go to a long day of school, come home, do homework, play video games, draw, go to bed. If I tell anyone I like video games and Dungeons and Dragons, I know I’ll be mocked for the next few years of my life. Having never met you, I can’t surmise why you have difficulty interacting with others. [...] there is nothing wrong with playing video games unless you substitute them for real-life experiences. Surely, there are activities at your school that you could join that would give you more contact with your peers ... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Education Secretary Betsy DeVos' attempt to mend fences with teachers and parents across the country got off to a rocky start, when she was confronted by angry protesters during her first visit to a public school.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has promised more legal action after a federal appeals court refused to reinstate his ban on travelers from seven predominantly Muslim nations. The Trump administration could decide to ask the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider the three-judge panel's ruling. White House counsel Donald McGahn had issued guidance days after the executive order saying it didn't apply to legal permanent residents of the U.S., but the appeals court said that was not enough.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has revived groundless claims of voter fraud, arguing in a lunch meeting with senators that he and former Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte would have won in New Hampshire if not for voters bused in from out of state. President Trump continues to spread a dangerous lie and it's long past time for Republican leadership in New Hampshire to stand up and defend our state's electoral system. Last month, during a bipartisan congressional leadership meeting at the White House... Читать дальше...

(AP) — The voter identified himself as a cancer survivor, and he had something to say to Republican Rep. Justin Amash: "I am scared to death that I will not have health insurance in the future." [...] just as the protests in 2009 focused on health care but reflected broader concerns over an increasingly divisive new president and Democrats' monopoly control over Washington, now, too, constituent complaints at town hall meetings appear to reflect more general fears about the Trump administration...

Welcoming Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to the White House with a hug, Trump said Friday he wants to bring the post-World War II alliance with Japan "even closer."

After a working lunch on economic issues, the two leaders boarded Air Force One with their wives for a trip to Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida. Stepping carefully into Japan's... Читать дальше...

Federal lawyers, invariably inclined to speak through technical legal pleadings instead of on social media, are likely to be asked time and again to account for public statements from the president, including comments that seem to contradict or harm their arguments. Even as Justice Department attorneys worked to convince courts that the policy was not motivated by religious prejudice, Trump himself was quoted in a news interview as saying he wanted to prioritize refugee admissions for Christians.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says he might give his refugee and immigration travel ban a second try, either as a revision or as a new order, as he contends with an appeals court ruling that prevents the ban from being enforced. [...] chief of staff Reince Priebus scrambled to clarify to reporters that "every single court option is on the table," including a high court appeal or "fighting out this case on the merits" in a lower court. While the White House boasted that Trump was fulfilling... Читать дальше...

Meghan McCain sprang to her father's defense after Trump slammed him on Twitter and accused the veteran of emboldening the enemy for disputing the administration's insistence that the deadly U.S. military mission in Yemen was a success. Truman sent an angry letter to a Washington Post music critic who wrote a less than favorable review of one of Margaret Truman's concerts. Katherine Jellison, head of the history department at Ohio University, asked: "If Twitter had existed in those days, would... Читать дальше...

SEATTLE (AP) — When a judge who helped derail President Donald Trump's travel ban was hit with online threats, the abuse raised safety concerns among jurists across the country, and experts are worried that the president's own attacks on the judiciary could make judges a more inviting target. Trump blasted the federal court system again Wednesday after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments on whether Robart's temporary restraining order should stand. During a speech to law enforcement officials... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Opponents of President Donald Trump's travel ban sought Friday to rack up another legal victory against the measure, believing they have the administration on the defensive after a federal appeals court refused to reinstate the order.

The NFL sharpened its warning to Texas on Friday about a “bathroom bill” targeting transgender people, suggesting for the first time that the state could miss hosting another Super Bowl if the proposal is enacted. “If a proposal that is discriminatory or inconsistent with our values were to become law there, that would certainly be a factor considered when thinking about awarding future events,” league spokesman Brian McCarthy said in response to an email question about the Texas bill.

Draymond Green makes NBA history as Warriors rout Memphis MEMPHIS — The biggest issue for Draymond Green on a night he made NBA history was a pair of irksome contact lenses. Multiple times during the Warriors’ 122-107 rout of the Grizzlies on Friday, he ambled to the sideline to put them back in. Seldom did Green head to the bench without stopping to administer a hefty dose of eye drops. Green was at his do-everything best while others handled the scoring load.

A flash flood damaged several homes in Weiser, Idaho, and forced residents to flee to the tops of their cars and roofs to escape the icy waters Friday morning. Emergency workers used a large front-end loader to rescue four adults and five children, along with several horses and other animals, from one property outside of the southwestern Idaho town of Weiser. Quickly rising temperatures and rainfall caused the accumulated snow to begin to rapidly melt, swelling rivers, creeks and irrigation canals and causing many to overflow their banks. Читать дальше...
