The Hasan execution plan has drawn strong criticism from senior Catholic leaders in the United States.

He was also wounded by police during the attack and now…

The lawsuit argued that taxpayer money should not be used…

President Donald Trump said Russia will send more diesel fuel to global markets after a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump hopes the move will help ease energy costs before the US midterm elections. However, market experts doubt the deal will lead to a major drop in fuel prices.

The two shipments would total about six million barrels of diesel fuel. That amount would cover US demand for roughly one and a half…

President Donald Trump returned to Texas this week as Republicans and Democrats intensified their efforts in several closely watched races ahead of the midterm elections. The visit marked Trump’s second trip to Texas in less than a week. His appearance highlighted growing concern among both parties as competition increases in areas that have traditionally favored Republicans. Trump attended a rally in San Antonio to support Attorney General Ken Paxton and congressional candidate Carlos De La Cruz. Both candidates are facing stronger challenges than many political observers expected earlier in the election cycle. Paxton remains locked in a competitive race against…

After receiving two injections of pentobarbital, she was removed from the execution chamber and taken to a Nashville hospital in critical condition.
