WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said he was just exercising his right to free speech. Democrats said he was intimidating a witness. Whichever is the case, Trump’s Twitter assault on an ex-ambassador’s record came with a heavy dose of distortion. He portrayed her, in a few choice words, as a wrecking ball in every country where she served U.S. interests in a long diplomatic career that has spanned danger zones and emerging democracies. The tweet jolted impeachment hearings where Marie Yovanovitch was already testifying to the perso...

CAMPOBELLO, S.C. (AP) — Authorities say two horses have recently been stabbed in northern South Carolina and investigators are trying to figure out if the attacks are related. In the most recent incident, a quarter horse named Trigg was cut on the leg down to the bone and was slashed so deep on the stomach that its intestines were coming out at a Campobello pasture, owner Ann McGinnis told the Herald-Journal. “I thought maybe it was an accident at first,” McGinnis told the newspaper. “I thought maybe he cut (his leg) on a branch or something.

But the district decided to bump up pay to $130 a day just a few months into the school year. "I think this makes us, hopefully, more attractive to not only substitute teachers but other i...
