ATLANTA (AP) — This week's primary election in Georgia presents black women voters with a rare opportunity: To give a Democrat who looks like them a chance at occupying the governor's mansion in a Republican-controlled state. A Democratic primary win Tuesday for Stacey Abrams or Stacey Evans — both lawyers and former state lawmakers — means Georgia could elect its first woman governor later this year. If Abrams wins the primary and the general election, America would get its first black woman governor. Читать дальше...

JACKSBORO, Tenn. (AP) — There was no makeup to put on, no outfit to prepare. There wasn't even any notice a visitor was coming. It was 2:30 on a weekday afternoon, and some women were roused from sleep by the sound of their cell door unlocking. They were asked if they'd pose for a portrait. The setting was the Campbell County Jail — where the last time these female inmates looked into a camera, their mug shots were being taken. Some women were in for theft; others for drug possession or parole violations. Читать дальше...

JACKSBORO, Tenn. (AP) — On opposite sides of the county jail, a mother and her son chat about school, girls, birthday gifts — and their future together. They aren't allowed to see each other face-to-face, so the inmate and the fifth-grader connect by video. "Hi, Mommy," 10-year-old Robby says to Krystle Sweat, clutching a phone in the visiting room as he looks at his mother on a screen, sitting in her cell. Robby hasn't hugged or even touched her since Christmas Day 2015, just before Sweat wound up back behind bars. Читать дальше...

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Vermont's unemployment rate for April remains unchanged from March, at 2.8 percent. The unemployment rate for Vermont's 17 labor market ranged from a low of 2.2 percent in Burlington-South Burlington to a high of 5.9 percent in Derby. The Burlington-South Burlington metropolitan area had the sixth lowest unemployment in the country. The national rate in April was 3.9 percent. Vermont Labor Commissioner Lindsay Kurrle said Friday that the numbers from the first four months of... Читать дальше...

There was no better way for the WNBA to open its 22nd season than with another intense matchup between the Los Angeles Sparks and the Minnesota Lynx. After the Lynx received their championship rings and raised a fourth banner in the arena, Chelsea Gray and the Sparks gave them their parting shot. Gray, the Hayward native who played at Duke, had 18 points, including two on a double-clutch, off-balance shot in the lane at the buzzer that gave the Sparks a 77-76 victory... Читать дальше...

BANGKOK (AP) — Four years after seizing power, Thailand's junta has a singular success it never hoped for: uniting a politically divided nation in growing dissatisfaction with the thin-skinned rule of the generals. After rifle-toting soldiers overthrew Thailand's elected government in a bloodless coup in May 2014, the new military leaders, like a succession of Thai coup makers before them, pledged reform and reconciliation and promised they wouldn't stay long. But after repeatedly delaying elections... Читать дальше...

Aaron Wise cruised to his first PGA Tour victory Sunday, shattering the AT&T Byron Nelson record at 23-under. The 21-year-old rookie shot a 6-under-par 65 to beat Marc Leishman by three strokes as both became the first to finish the Nelson at 20-under or better in the first year at Trinity Forest. The links-style layout was defenseless with softer fairways and greens and no wind once morning storms passed. The Nelson celebrated its 50th anniversary with a return... Читать дальше...

Atlanta’s Dansby Swanson struck out to begin the ninth inning, so he wanted to do something special with the game on the line after the Braves batted around. “Yeah, I mean, who doesn’t?” Swanson said. “I think situations like that are what this game is meant to be played for. But obviously we wouldn’t have been in that situation if the whole team didn’t pick each other up that whole inning.” Swanson’s two-run single capped a six-run ninth, and the host Braves rallied to stun the Miami Marlins 10-9 on Sunday.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Latest on the Minnesota Legislature's rush to finish up its work (all times local): 10:20 p.m. The Minnesota House has failed to override Gov. Mark Dayton's veto of funding to reimburse local offices who struggled with the state's new driver registration system. It's just the second attempted override in Dayton's tenure. With just 79 House members voting to override Dayton on Sunday, it fell short of the required 90-vote margin. Most Democrats voted against overriding Dayton's veto. Читать дальше...

(Spoiler alert: Please do not read ahead unless you’ve seen “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”s Season 5 finale, “Jake and Amy.”) No one is happier than us that “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” was picked up for a sixth season by NBC. Nobody. But if (and we do mean only if) the comedy hadn’t been revived just 24 hours after being canceled by its current network, Fox, earlier this month, we would have survived because Dan Goor & Co did such a great job with the Season 5 finale. “Nine-Nine” aired its fifth-year closer...

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — With mere hours left in the legislative session, Gov. Mark Dayton said Sunday evening he'd veto bills headed to his desk that would modestly cut income taxes for most Minnesotans, provide some additional funding for schools in a budget crunch and tweak government spending across the board. Dayton's veto threat raised the specter that the top priorities of both the Democratic governor and Republican-controlled Legislature would remain unfinished as session concludes. But Dayton...

WASHINGTON — President Trump said Sunday that he will demand that the Justice Department open an investigation into whether the FBI infiltrated his presidential campaign, an extraordinary order that came hours before his legal team said that the special counsel indicated its investigation into the president could be concluded by September.

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (AP) — His home on the rocky coast is former President George H.W. Bush's happy place, chock full of sea-sprayed memories of boating, golfing, family and friends. But this summer there's a different feel as he arrives without his wife of 73 years. The nation's 41st president arrived Sunday at Walker's Point, where he spends his summers, a little over a month after the funeral of his wife, Barbara, in Texas. "We're so pleased to have President Bush back at the place that he loves so much. Читать дальше...

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The sentencing of a man convicted of mailing fatal cyanide to a suicidal Englishman is set to resume in Maine. Sidney Kilmartin was scheduled to be sentenced last month in federal court in Portland, but testimony in the case ran long and his sentencing was suspended. He's due back in court on Tuesday, when sentencing will be completed. Kilmartin, of Windham, was found guilty in 2016. He was charged with advertising and mailing a substance he said was cyanide to several suicidal people. Читать дальше...

KIRKERSVILLE, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio nursing home where a man killed two employees and the village police chief has reopened a year after the attack. Tom Rosser is the owner of Pine Kirk Care Center in Kirkersville, about 25 miles (40 kilometers) east of Columbus. He tells the Newark Advocate that residents began moving back in earlier this month. Renovations to the facility included new flooring, paint and security measures. Rosser says it took longer than expected because of the emotional toll it took on workers. Читать дальше...

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A Boston police captain's son who is accused of plotting a terrorist attack on a college campus to support the Islamic State group is expected to plead guilty. A plea hearing for Alexander Ciccolo (chih-KOH'-loh) will be held in federal court in Springfield Monday. It was not immediately clear what he might plead guilty to. Prosecutors and Ciccolo's attorney declined to comment last week. Ciccolo was arrested in July 2015 after receiving guns from a federal informant. Prosecutors... Читать дальше...
