Many Democrats are stressed out by the news. They still can't turn away, a new poll finds

AP News WASHINGTON (AP) — Denver retiree Don Cohen spends about two-and-a-half hours each day consuming the news, between reading on his iPad and watching broadcast programs. But while the 72-year-old says he wishes he could avoid stories about President Donald Trump, he’s accepted that’s impossible.

“It would be to avoid media,” said Cohen, an independent voter who has opposed Trump since he announced his 2016 presidential campaign.

Although Cohen has given up, others have not. A new Media Insight Project survey finds that about 6 in 10 U.S adults say they actively...

Fed likely to leave rates unchanged at what may be Powell's last meeting, as Warsh to advance

AP News WASHINGTON (AP) — Wednesday will likely be a momentous day for the future of the Federal Reserve as Chair Jerome Powell could signal he will stay with the Fed even as a Senate panel is expected to confirm his replacement.

Powell will preside over what will probably be his last meeting as chair and hold a news conference Wednesday afternoon, when he may say whether he will take the unusual step of remaining on the central bank's board of governors, even after his term as chair ends May 15.

Do you prefer to pay income taxes or sales taxes? Missouri voters will get to choose

AP News JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — It's not every day — or even every decade — that voters are presented a decision like this: Should the state's individual income tax be eliminated?

When that question appears on a Missouri ballot later this year, it will mark the first time since the modern income tax began over a century ago that a U.S. state legislature has asked voters whether to eliminate the tax. If they say “yes,” they will also be authorizing a sales tax expansion.

Missouri's unique proposal caps a five-year tax-cutting binge in states that flourished while...

Oakland attributes a 6-decade low in homicides, in part, to life coaches

AP News OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Young men at risk of succumbing to gang violence slump over tables in an Oakland church. With them are prosecutors, clergy and survivors of shootings determined to show them they have more to look forward to than incarceration, injury or death.

The message is not one of punishment but of unceasing support. The men start to perk up.

“We’re going to talk about keeping you and those you love alive and free,” Jim Hopkins, emeritus pastor of Lakeshore Avenue Baptist Church, says he told the men who gather at his church. “If you put down the...

White House says funds to pay TSA and other Homeland Security workers will 'soon run out'

AP News WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is warning Congress that funding to pay Department of Homeland Security personnel will "soon run out,” sparking new threats of airport disruptions and national security concerns as the House slow-walks legislation to end what has been the longest-ever lapse in agency funding.

In a memo late Tuesday to lawmakers, the Office of Management and Budget said money that President Donald Trump tapped to pay Transportation Security Administration and other workers through executive actions will be exhausted by May. It called on the House to quickly...
