Fisherman, 71, attacked and killed by 12-foot alligator alongside Florida lake

A 71-year-old man fishing on the shore of a Florida pond was attacked and killed on Friday by a nearly 12-foot alligator, the second fatal such attack reported this year.

Shrewd moves helped the Brewers become annual contenders. Here's how they got to the World Series

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Now that the World Series-bound Milwaukee Brewers finally have translated their extraordinary regular-season success into the postseason, the same question that comes up every time they clinch a playoff berth is getting repeated again.

Trump's decision to waive Russian sanctions outrages Congress, but no quick counter seen

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's abrupt decision to waive sanctions on Russia days before they were to take effect drew outrage Saturday from members of Congress, which had overwhelmingly passed the legislation in a bipartisan display of American support for Ukraine in the war with Russia.

Lawmakers from both parties blasted the executive order late Friday, the latest in a series of steps that the Republican president has taken drawing the United States closer to Russia's Vladimir Putin. Trump recently announced a diesel deal with Putin to import Russian energy in a... Read More
