By SEAN MURPHY and MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The Catholic Church in Oklahoma wants taxpayers to fund an online charter school that “is faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ.” The Supreme Court could well approve. St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School would be the nation’s first religious charter school. A ruling from the high court allowing public money to flow directly to a religious school almost certainly would lead to others. Opponents warn it would blur the separation between church and state, sap money from public schools and possibly upend the rules governing charter schools…
By JOSH BOAK, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s first 100 days back in the White House have been a demolition job — and that’s a point of pride for his administration. For the Republican administration, the raw numbers on executive actions, deportations, reductions in the federal workforce, increased tariff rates and other issues point toward a renewed America. To Trump’s critics, though, he’s wielding his authority in ways that challenge the Constitution’s separation of powers and pose the risk of triggering a recession. From executive orders to deportations, some defining numbers from Trump’s first 100 days: Roughly…

(AP) — President Donald Trump is holding a rally in Michigan on Tuesday to mark the first 100 days of his second term, staging his largest public event since returning to the White House in a state that has been especially rocked by his steep trade tariffs and combative attitude toward Canada.

LOS ANGELES — This business of defending a championship is not for the faint of heart. The Dodgers blew a five-run lead in the middle innings and went into a five-inning hibernation before Tommy Edman’s two-run walk-off single retrieved a 7-6 victory over the Miami Marlins in 10 innings on Monday night. Since starting the season better than any defending World Series champion ever has (8-0), the Dodgers have barely won more than they’ve lost (11-10). Things were going well through five innings. Dustin May had a three-hit shutout going and the Dodgers had scored in four of the first…

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico and the United States said Monday they had reached an agreement that involves Mexico immediately sending more water from their shared Rio Grande basin to Texas farmers after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened tariffs and sanctions earlier this month. “Mexico has committed to make an immediate transfer of water from international reservoirs and increase the U.S. share of the flow in six of Mexico’s Rio Grande tributaries through the end of the current five-year water cycle,” U.S. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said in a statement. Bruce thanked Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum for her involvement…
LOS ANGELES — Officially, Tyler Glasnow went on the injured list with shoulder inflammation. But the real diagnosis could be severe, Grade 1 frustration. Glasnow left each of his past two starts early with physical issues – leg cramping last week in Texas, a sore shoulder after just one inning on Sunday afternoon. Afterward, he expressed his frustration with an inability to get comfortable with some changes in his routine and mechanics – changes he made in hopes of preventing more of the elbow injuries that ended his 2024 season early. “Just making a lot of changes, trying to figure…
