Senate Republicans face long odds in advancing voter ID legislation, but they’re not backing down. Huddled behind closed doors on Tuesday, GOP lawmakers attempted to chart a path forward on the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, a revamped version of election integrity legislation that has long gathered dust in Congress. GOP considers standing filibuster option after Thune rejects eliminating 60-vote threshold for election integrity bill.

President Donald J. Trump praised farmers for their hard work and contributions to the economy in a video message played at the World AG Expo opening day ceremony Tuesday in Tulare. 

The sudden and surprising airspace closure over El Paso, Texas, on Wednesday stemmed from the Pentagon's plans to test a laser for use in shooting down drones used by Mexican drug cartels, according to three people familiar with the situation who were granted anonymity to share sensitive details.

The indictment, pursued by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, led by Trump appointee Jeanine Pirro, is the latest example of the Justice Department’s targeting the president's perceived political opponents.

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act turns 30 this year. The provision is straightforward. It shields online platforms, from Facebook to your church’s message board, from being sued over content their users post. 

The new commercial promotes a new technological feature for the doorbell, and the ad explains how it works by addressing the missing pets crisis in the US. However, some social media users have been left 'creeped' out by the ad. 

Olympic organizers are investigating with "maximum attention" after a spate of medals have fallen off their ribbons during celebrations on the opening weekend of the Games.

Several candidates are preparing for a school board election nine months away to represent the southwest region of Fresno Unified School District. Keshia Thomas, who represents the Edison High region, is running for Fresno City Council District 3. If Thomas doesn’t make it out of the June 2 council primary, the door would open for her to seek re-election to the school board in Area 1.
