LYNN ELBER AP Television Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) - Television has been America's constant companion amid an unyielding virus and whirlwind of racial reappraisal. But will the Emmy nominations arriving Tuesday reflect the times or retreat to the familiar?

How September's ceremony...
ALAN SUDERMAN Associated Press RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia has removed from its iconic state capitol the busts and a statue honoring Confederate generals and officials. That includes a bronze statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee positioned in the same spot where he stood to assume command of the state's armed forces in the Civil War nearly 160 years ago. They are the latest Confederate symbols to be removed or retired in the weeks since the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police sparked a nationwide protest m...
JULIE CARR SMYTH Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Tension was thick in the air. After 10 consecutive votes in which another man had garnered more support than Larry Householder's favored candidate to be the next Ohio House speaker, Householder leaned back quietly in his chair, arms confidently propped behind his head. As usual, he was playing the long game. The Republican now accused in a $60 million federal bribery probe had contributed to a monthslong impasse over the speakership that brought Ohio lawmaking to a s...
KEN MORITSUGU Associated Press BEIJING (AP) — Four decades after the U.S. established diplomatic ties with Communist China, the relationship between the two may have reached a turning point. Tensions have reached new heights on what has always been a rocky road, as the ambitions of a rising superpower increasingly clash with those of the established one. China ordered the closing of the U.S. Consulate in the southwestern city of Chengdu on Friday, in rapid retaliation for the closing of its consulate in Houston. Two weeks a...

President Donald Trump is planning to deploy federal agents to Chicago and possibly other Democrat-run cities as he continues to assert federal power and use the Department of Homeland Security in unprecedented, politicized ways. DHS is slated to send about 150 Homeland Security Investigations agents to Chicago to help local law enforcement deal with a spike in crime, according to an official with direct knowledge of the plans who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official wasn’t authorized to speak publicly. The a...
The Trump Administration’s foreign policy is focused on the national security of America, religious freedom and is “100% pro-life,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during a speech given at The Family Leader Summit held Friday, July 17, in West Des Moines, Iowa. “Our founders built our country on a commitment to essential rights, unalienable rights … that come from these amazing documents, our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution, and our nation’s foreign policy must be grounded in those central understandi...
Ever since the U.S. government launched its emergency lending program for small businesses, April 3, there have been complaints that bigger companies had their loans approved and disbursed more quickly. There is now evidence to back up those complaints.

Melania Trump made some of the deliveries herself in her first public appearances in a face mask. Melania Trump had been making regular visits to schools, hospitals and other venues to promote her youth welfare initiative, "Be Best." But after the pandemic forced classrooms to close and...

At the Fallbrook Union High School District board of trustees' meeting Monday, July 13, district superintendent Ilsa Garza-Gonzalez said that the framework for returning to school could change on a dime.

Appearing on CNN, Garcetti was asked about a Los Angeles Times editorial that criticized the rapid reopening of California, which was followed by a spike in new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. "I do agree those things happened too quickly," Garcetti said, adding...
“I believe the shutting down of numerous industries is extreme government overreach. We should come down on the bad actors, but not the hard-working San Diegans who are trying to make a living,” Desmond said July 1. “Businesses continue to be punished because of a lack of foresight from our governor. We were told we had an ample amount of testing and just a few weeks later, we are running low. Other states had the vision, but not California,” Desmond said July 15. There you go again. Businesses are not being punished or singl...
