3 police officers shot, at least 1 fatally, in Paris attack
A gunman opened fire on French police on the renowned Champs-Élysées, killing one and wounding two others before being fatally shot himself in an incident that shook France just three days before a crucial election.
GOP moderate offers revisions to health-care bill
The amendment, proposed by Rep. Tom MacArthur, would reinstate a crucial provision of the health-care law. However, GOP leaders say it is unlikely to win over enough conservative and moderate votes to pass the House.

Trump's claim that 'no administration has accomplished more in the first 90 days'
It's rather silly for any president to suggest that his first 100 days somehow topped Franklin D. Roosevelt's achievement. We check the history books.
 
The five shots that changed this boy's life
One March morning, someone raised a gun one block from Tyshaun McPhatter's home and a dozen steps from his school. Inside, Tyshaun couldn't hear the five shots that would thrust the violence circling him for years into the center of his life.

Trump's pick for regulatory czar would hand more power to the president
Among the more controversial aspects of law professor Neomi Rao's writings is her support for the power of the president and the need to bring independent agencies under control of the White House.
 
Bill O'Reilly's gone. Now the hard work really starts for Fox News.
His dismissal may have lifted the immediate cloud over Fox, but it also raised new issues: Can the network clean up its workplace, keep viewers loyal and lure sponsors back to its new lineup?
 
Venezuela seizes a General Motors plant amid anti-government protests
The action may be an attempt to provoke the U.S. and move the spotlight away from the demonstrations.
 
Satellite images suggest North Koreans were playing volleyball at their nuclear test site last weekend
The images surprised analysts, as they coincided with speculation about North Korean plans to test a nuclear weapon.

Arkansas' plan to resume executions is blocked by court orders
The Arkansas Supreme Court stayed one of the two executions planned for today, while a state judge issued a broader order that temporarily prohibited the state from using one of its three lethal injection drugs.
 
'I don't like to be touched': Video shows autistic boy arrested at school
"I didn't know I was going to get arrested like this," cried 10--year-old John Benjamin Haygood as school resource officers in Florida secured handcuffs around his wrists.
 
Naked mole-rats are now even weirder: Without oxygen, they live like plants
In oxygen-poor air, even at levels that would be lethal to mice or humans, these marvelous and bizarre rodents switch their energy source from glucose to fructose — that's the sugar that plants use.
 
TV Review
'The Handmaid's Tale' isn't just timely, it's essential viewing for our fractured culture
Margaret Atwood's premise describes a situation that seems at first outlandish, yet its plausibility has a way of creeping up on the viewer, showing how the smallest freedoms are the first to disappear, followed by a radical reordering of one's world.
