WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is considering a plan that would allow states to require certain food stamp recipients to undergo drug testing, handing a win to conservatives who've long sought ways to curb the safety net program. The proposal under review would be narrowly targeted, applying mostly to people who are able-bodied, without dependents and applying for some specialized jobs, according to an administration official briefed on the plan. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations... Читать дальше...

Gyllenhall, who just became the first celebrity ambassador and the face of the Cartier luxury goods company, was asked point blank by China News Asia if he is going to be the next Batman. “Wow, that’s a very difficult question,” said Gyllenhaal about sporting Batman’s cape and cowl. “The answer to that question is ‘no’.” In other words, take him off your Batman actors March madness bracket.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Illinois lawmakers sued for sexual harassment couldn't use tax money to pay settlements under legislation that flew through the House. Rep. David McSweeney's legislation won approval 113-0. It moves to the Senate.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia lawmakers briefly returned to the Capitol on Wednesday to kick off a new round of negotiations over whether to expand Medicaid. But there was little actual movement on the issue, or any sign of when there might be a resolution. Legislators left town after voting to start a new special session devoted to passing a state budget, a move necessary before lawmakers can resume negotiations on Medicaid in earnest. The GOP-led General Assembly failed to pass a state spending... Читать дальше...

NEW YORK (AP) — Mark Zuckerberg faced two days of grilling before House and Senate committees Tuesday and Wednesday to address Facebook's privacy issues and the need for more regulation for the social media site. Yet the hearings in Washington managed to showcase the normally press-shy Zuckerberg's ability to perform as an able and well-rehearsed, if a bit stiff, CEO of one of the world's biggest companies — and the degree to which much of Congress appears befuddled about technology and the relevant issues.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Times and other news media organizations sued over California's new execution rules Wednesday, saying they would bar journalists from fully reporting on the lethal injection procedure. The lawsuit is the latest challenge as the state seeks to resume executions for the first time since 2006. The execution chamber at San Quentin State Prison leaves critical steps out of public view, according to the lawsuit filed in federal court in San Francisco against the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation...

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Paul Ryan will leave Congress having achieved one of his career goals: rewriting the tax code. On his other defining aim — balancing the budget and cutting back benefit programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — Ryan has utterly failed. Ryan, a budget geek with a passion for details who announced Wednesday that he would retire next year, proved adroit in drawing up budget plans that balanced on paper but didn't get beyond the hypothetical. Under his leadership... Читать дальше...

LOS ANGELES — Oil and gas companies drilling in state waters off Southern California violated regulations nearly 400 times in the past three years, according to a report being released Wednesday by an environmental group.

No civil penalties were issued for any of the violations, according to a spokesman for... Читать дальше...

The Los Angeles District Attorney’s office is reviewing a sexual assault case against Kevin Spacey sent by the County Sheriff’s Dept., according to multiple media reports including CNN. The case was presented on April 5 to the office’s special task force handling sexual assault in Hollywood. No further details have been included. Spacey has not yet faced criminal charges for any of the accusations made against him, but his career has plummeted, as he was removed from the hit show “House of Cards” which earned him five Emmy nominations...

HELENA, Mont. — It has been an iron rule for candidates in rural areas and red states for decades: Do not antagonize the National Rifle Association. But that was before the massacre at a high school in Parkland, Fla., galvanized gun politics across the country. Now, a striking number of Democratic candidates in coming midterm elections, from congressional contests in the Rocky Mountains to governor’s races in the Deep South, are openly daring, defying and disparaging the NRA, a group with deep pockets...

NORRISTOWN, Pennsylvania, EE.UU. (AP) — La primera acusadora en testificar en el nuevo juicio de Bill Cosby describió al comediante el miércoles como “un violador en serie” al defenderse de los abogados del comediante, mientras que una segunda acusadora lo confrontó entre lágrimas por un presunto abuso cometido hace 32 años al preguntarle: “Usted lo recuerda, ¿no es así, señor Cosby?”. El dramatismo en la corte llevó a que los abogados de Cosby solicitaran que se declarara juicio nulo, lo cual fue negado... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged Wednesday that regulation of social media is "inevitable" and disclosed that his own personal information has been compromised by malicious outsiders. But after two days of congressional testimony, what seemed clear was how little Congress seems to know about Facebook, much less what to do about it. Statements from representatives facing re-election this year ranged from complaints of anti-conservative bias to questions about whether Facebook... Читать дальше...

Those who are familiar with the city of Chicago will get to see some of its downtown destroyed in “Rampage,” a bread-and-butter Dwayne Johnson vehicle that is heavy on plot and light on character and reason and thrills. This film is based on an arcade video game that featured large-sized creatures knocking down buildings and running amok, but that basic idea has been swamped here by too many convoluted plot lines and extraneous characters. “Rampage,” which is directed by Brad Peyton (“San Andreas”)...

SANTA FE, N.M. — Documenting sexual harassment complaints against state lawmakers and publicly releasing the outcomes can provide encouragement for people who might otherwise be hesitant to report allegations of inappropriate behavior. Experts and many female lawmakers say that’s true even if the complaints are ultimately dismissed, because it shows legislative chambers take the matter seriously. “If there’s no accountability, if we don’t know what the outcomes are...

If you’re going to take the Chicago architecture tour, pick a day when a gigantic sea creature isn’t terrorizing the city. Likewise, if hundred-foot wolves and apes are crashing into buildings, it’s probably best to take a personal day and avoid downtown. “Rampage” is a monster movie, and in many ways an old-fashioned one, with a misunderstood ape, not unlike King Kong, a sea monster that’s akin to Godzilla, and with effects that are striking and yet just cheesy enough to be more fun than disturbing.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Jerry Brown has agreed to deploy 400 National Guard troops at President Donald Trump's request, but not all will head to the U.S.-Mexico border and none will enforce federal immigration enforcement. A letter sent Wednesday to the Trump administration by Brown says the California troops will focus on combating transnational drug crime, firearms smuggling and human trafficking. The Democrat says the California troops will not help build a wall or "detain people escaping violence and seeking a better life.
