Democrats are regrouping after losing the race for Montana's open House of Representatives seat on Thursday, one day after the Republican candidate, Greg Gianforte, was charged with assaulting a reporter.

Gianforte's win didn't come as much of a surprise in a state that President Donald Trump won by 20 points in November — and many Democrats are already moving on.

"There are 300 districts in America that are better for Democrats than Montana at large," Steve Schale... Читать дальше...

The Yankees have historically been known for outspending other teams to get the best players, relying on their history and deep pockets to attract talent.

This year's team, however, is more notable for the contributions of young prospects... Читать дальше...

Almost immediately after the sale, Mallinckrodt doubled the price of Ofirmev to 1,019.52 for a pack of 24 vials.

A question flamingo researchers get asked all the time — why the birds stand on one leg — may need rethinking. The bigger puzzle may be why flamingos bother standing on two.

Balance aids built into the birds’ basic anatomy allow for a one-legged stance that demands little muscular effort, tests find. This stance is so exquisitely stable that a bird sways less to keep itself upright when it appears to be dozing than when it’s alert with eyes open, two Atlanta... Читать дальше...
