Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:48:19 GMT

Donald Trump’s bombastic attorney in his defense against his high-profile indictment once donated to the campaign of a Democrat who moved to prosecute Trump during his presidency.Joe Tacopina, the lead defense attorney in the latest case against the former president, has not been a prolific donor to political campaigns, but those he has made have been bipartisan.In 2010, Tacopina gave to then-Rep. Kathleen Rice, D-N.Y., a former prosecutor who later sent a criminal referral to the FBI requesting they investigate Trump’s phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger.The phone call, in which Trump pressured Raffensberger to “find” him enough votes to overturn the presidential election, is now being investigated by the Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith.While it’s not clear in this case, such criminal referrals are considered to carry significant weight with the FBI and often trigger investigations.The $1,500 campaign donation to Rice is Tacopina’s second lar...

Transgender bathroom bill approved in Kansas; veto expected

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:48:19 GMT

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas bill that would bar transgender people from using public bathrooms or changing their name or gender on their driver’s license cleared the GOP-controlled Legislature on Tuesday by margins suggesting backers could override Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly’s expected veto.The state Senate voted 28-12 with one vote more than a two-thirds majority that would be needed to overturn any veto, giving final passage to an earlier House-passed version of the legislation and sending it to the governor.The measure deals with bathrooms, locker rooms and other facilities, and defines “sex” as “either male or female, at birth,” a move LGBTQ+-rights advocates said would legally erase transgender people and deny recognition to non-binary, gender fluid and gender non-conforming people.The sweeping transgender bill, one of the broadest of its kind in the nation, is among several hundred measures aimed at rolling back LGBTQ rights pursued by Republicans this year across the ...

Caregivers: Returning orca Lolita to Northwest is risky

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:48:19 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — An ambitious plan announced last week to return Lolita, a killer whale held captive for more than a half-century, to her home waters in Washington’s Puget Sound thrilled those who have long advocated for her to be freed from her tank at the Miami Seaquarium.But it also called to mind the release of Keiko — the star of the movie “Free Willy” — more than two decades ago. Keiko’s return to his native Iceland vastly improved upon his life in a Mexico City tank, but he failed to adapt to the wild and died five years later.He is the only orca released after long-term captivity. Some of Lolita’s former caregivers are warning she could face a similar fate — or that she might not survive a move across the country.But advocates say there are big differences between the cases and that their experience with Keiko will inform how they plan for Lolita’s return.While they hope to bring Lolita — also known as Tokitae, or Toki — to a whale sanctuary among the Pacific...
