Virginia Democrats on Tuesday are voting for their nominees for lieutenant governor and attorney general, rounding out the statewide ticket and setting the stage for a bellwether election later this year.

Most of the nominees slated to be at the top of the November ticket have already been picked, and Republicans aren't having a statewide primary.

In the race for governor, Democrat Abigail Spanberger, whose candidacy thwarted prospective primary challengers, will go up against Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears — the only Republican who qualified for the...

Smith said she was a friend of Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota state lawmaker who was killed along with her husband, while another state lawmaker and his wife were...

A federal judge declared the Trump administration's move to nix some National Institutes of Health grants as illegal, describing the cuts as discriminatory during remarks on Monday, according to reports.

"That’s what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out."

Young, who serves in the...

Washington — The Senate is moving toward final passage on a landmark piece of legislation to regulate crypto after a bumpy path through the upper chamber.

The bill, known as the GENIUS Act, would establish a regulatory framework for the $250 billion market for stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency tied to the value of an asset like the U.S. dollar.

It advanced out of the Senate Banking Committee in March with bipartisan backing, but bled Democratic support weeks later when it was revealed that an Abu Dhabi-backed firm would use $2 billion in...

President Trump said Tuesday that he won't call Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after the targeted shootings of two state lawmakers because it would "waste time."

One of the lawmakers and her husband were killed.

The president spoke to reporters early Tuesday aboard Air Force One as he flew back to Washington after abruptly leaving the G7 summit in Canada. The White House said the president wants to better monitor the rising tensions in the Middle East between Israel and Iran. Asked if he planned to call Walz, Trump said the Democratic governor is "slick"...

California State Sen. Scott Wiener is introducing legislation to prohibit law enforcement from hiding their faces when working with the public, as well as making sure they can identify themselves.

The scrutiny comes as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is increasing arrests in Los Angeles and throughout California, which triggered anti-ICE protests and riots in the region last week.

The bill would likely face legal challenges as it attempts to regulate federal authorities at a state level if signed into law.

The new clip features a couple on a date, comprised of a...

President Donald Trump denied reports late Monday that he left the G7 summit in Canada early to work on a cease-fire between Israel and Iran, hinting that it was for something "much bigger."

Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One during an overnight flight back to Washington that he was looking to achieve something better than a cease-fire and would meet with advisers in the Situation Room early Tuesday.

"We're looking at better than a cease-fire," Trump said. "We're not looking for a cease-fire. I didn't say that I was looking for a...

Former Sen. Bob Menendez is set to report to prison Tuesday to begin serving an 11-year sentence following his conviction on federal bribery charges.

In court papers last month, Menendez's lawyers said he is expected to be housed at a facility in Minersville, Pennsylvania, that has both a medium and minimum-security prison. Given the white-collar nature of his crimes, he will likely end up in the latter.

The Federal Correctional Institution, Schuylkill, is about three hours away from his Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey home and it houses...

Though he maintains his innocence, Menendez was convicted on all 16 counts last July. At trial, federal prosecutors argued that the longtime senator accepted bribes of gold bars, hundreds of thousands in cash and other luxury items from three New Jersey businessmen in exchange for favors that benefited the...
