Forty-six-year-old Anila Daulatzai's lawyer says she agreed with crew members that she'd be fine with the dogs on the cross-country flight as long as they sat far apart. But she says other Southwest employees told her to leave the plane. Police were called and forcibly removed her. Other passengers on the flight to Los Angeles took video and posted it online.

BOSTON (AP) — Renewable energy advocates are increasingly spending more on lobbying to capture the ears of Massachusetts lawmakers. An Associated Press review of state lobbying records found that in 2016, energy interests reported spending a combined $6.7 million lobbying Beacon Hill. Six out of every 10 of those dollars — or about $4.1 million — came from groups pushing renewable energy initiatives or fighting against fossil fuel-related projects, like the construction of natural gas pipelines. In 2015... Читать дальше...

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A lesbian who helped raise a child with her former partner following artificial insemination can seek custody or visitation with the child even though they were never married and she was not the one who gave birth, Missouri appellate judges ruled.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Officials say a glass company manufacturing plant near Pittsburgh could be closed next summer, affecting almost 200 workers.

Amid the usual buzz of the crowd and the blare of the band Saturday night at Husky Stadium, there will be two distinct sounds. They’ll come one, right after the other. When Cal punter Dylan Klumph connects on a kick, there will be a true thump that is unique only to his powerful leg, and as the ball travels toward Washington returner Dante Pettis, the stadium will go almost silent in breathless anticipation of the dynamo’s next highlight. Klumph... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional Republicans on Wednesday kicked off debate on House and Senate budget plans that promise slashing cuts to social programs — but whose real purpose is to grease the skids for a sweeping overhaul of the U.S. tax code that would add up to $1.5 trillion to the nation's spiraling debt. The companion GOP budget measures differ in key respects but both rely on rosy estimates of economic growth and illusory spending cuts to promise to wrestle the federal budget back into surplus within a decade.

PHOENIX (AP) — President Donald Trump's pardon of former Sheriff Joe Arpaio's conviction for disobeying a court order in an immigration case will stand after a judge on Wednesday rejected arguments that it would encourage government officials to flout similar judicial commands in the future. U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton cited U.S. Supreme Court precedent in formally dismissing the criminal case against the former six-term sheriff of metro Phoenix known for his harsh treatment of inmates and immigration enforcement crackdowns.

ATLANTA (AP) — The Las Vegas gunman possessed a little-known device called a "bump stock" that was not widely sold — until now. Originally created with the idea of making it easier for people with disabilities to shoot a gun, the attachments allow a semi-automatic rifle to mimic a fully automatic weapon by unleashing an entire large magazine in seconds. Now the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history has drawn attention to the devices, which critics say flout federal restrictions on automatic guns. Читать дальше...
