WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal school safety commission set up after the deadly shooting at a Florida high school will not examine the role of guns in school violence, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said Tuesday. DeVos' testimony to a Senate subcommittee came amid criticism by Democrats and some educators that the panel, set up by President Donald Trump in March, was focused more on distracting public attention rather than truly addressing gun violence. During a hearing on education spending, DeVos was asked whether the commission that she is c...
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico voters will narrow the field Tuesday in two competitive congressional races, including one in a district along the Mexico border involving a GOP-held seat that Democrats have long targeted. The state's other competitive congressional contest is in the central district that encompasses Albuquerque. The seats are open because Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, and Rep. Steve Pearce, a Republican, are stepping down to run for governor. Statewide voters were turning out in robust numbers to decide who w...
WASHINGTON (AP) — The steadily expanding global economy should remain resilient — at least for a couple of years — the World Bank says. The anti-poverty agency predicted Tuesday that global growth will decelerate from a solid 3.1 percent this year to 3 percent next year and 2.9 percent in 2020. The world economy is generally healthy but must contend with rising interest rates in wealthier countries and weaker demand for commodities in developing nations. It also faces risks from trade disputes, financial volatility and geopolitical tensi...
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Scientists may have found previously unmapped faults in Oklahoma that could be contributing to a sharp increase in induced earthquakes in the state, according to a report on a study that used magnetic imaging to explore the rock formations below the earth's surface. The apparent faults extend from what appeared to be the end of mapped faults directly to areas where many quakes occurred, Oklahoma Geological Survey Director Jeremy Boak said Tuesday. "This study really gave us some new interesting information about the orienta...
VIENNA (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin says Western sanctions against Russia haven't worked and both Moscow and the West would benefit from lifting them. Putin, speaking on a visit to Austria on Tuesday, said the restrictions are "harmful for everyone — those who initiated them and those who are targeted by them." The United States, the European Union and other Western allies introduced a slew of sanctions against Moscow over its 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula and for its support for separatists in eastern Ukraine. Cou...
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. services firms expanded at a stronger pace in May compared to the prior month, as companies saw gains in business activity, new orders and employment.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A federal appeals court is resurrecting a lawsuit by animal-rights groups against a North Carolina law that discourages undercover investigations into conditions at farms and other workplaces. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday reversed a North Carolina federal judge's decision dismissing the lawsuit.

SUGAR LAND, Texas (AP) — Nearly 100 unmarked graves near Houston believed to contain the century-old remains of imprisoned African-Americans will be exhumed after workers building a school discovered the gravesites. A judge on Monday gave the Fort Bend Independent School District permission to begin a monthslong process, at a cost of upward of $1 million, to exhume the graves. Bones were found this year as the ground in Sugar Land was being prepped for a $59 million career and technical center for the district's students. The area is near t...
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Legislators in the country's No. 2 hog-growing state on Tuesday stepped up efforts to shield industrial hog operations from neighbors who have complained for decades about the smell, noise and flies generated by housing thousands of animals together.

The proposed changes to a state farm-protection law would block lawsuits alleging negligent or improper operations that c...

But the dairy industry has bee...
WASHINGTON (AP) — Medicare will run out of money sooner than expected, and Social Security's financial problems can't be ignored either, the government said Tuesday in a sobering checkup on programs vital to the middle class. The report from program trustees says Medicare will become insolvent in 2026 — three years earlier than previously forecast. Its giant trust fund for inpatient care won't be able to fully cover projected medical bills starting at that point. The report says Social Security will become insolvent in 2034 — no change from...
