MINNEAPOLIS — Gov. Tim Walz on Tuesday signed a ticket transparency bill aimed at protecting music fans when they buy tickets for shows.

Complaints among music fans have far outnumbered the number of seats available in even the biggest venues, especially during the frenzy for Taylor Swift tickets. Minnesota lawmakers heard the noise and passed two bills, including the aptly-named house file 1989 — a nod to Swift's album — which was signed into law on Tuesday.

The new rules mean no hidden fees, no deceptive websites to look like they're official...

Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. The charges stem from a years-long investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.

The charges are related to alleged payments made ahead of the 2016 presidential election to silence Daniels about an...

The Biden administration has paused shipments of two types of precision bombs to Israel in response to U.S. opposition to Israeli forces' operation in Rafah, according to a U.S. official.

If Stormy Daniels succeeded yesterday in convincing a jury that she had a one-night sexual encounter with Donald Trump, it was by delving into the details.

At the same time, she acknowledged that Trump did nothing to pressure her into having sex in 2006 and that she sought him out the following year. The porn star has never described their alleged one-nighter as anything other than consensual sex, though Trump insists it never happened.

That may not matter in a trial that ultimately turns on an allegation of falsified business records, but this...

The expanded bill would give women 30 days to drop off the newborn, up from the current seven-day time limit. The bill would also authorize 911 dispatchers to arrange an infant drop-off location in instances where the...
