The Wildcats (5-0) earned 11 first-place votes to jump two spots. That came after last week's win at then-No. 3 UConn, part of run that began with a victory over reigning NCAA champion Florida in Las Vegas and a win against a ranked UCLA team in Los Angeles.

14+ hour, 29+ min ago (319+ words) The case has wound its way through federal district court and, more recently, federal appellate court throughout the year. Julie Pace, AP's executive editor, wrote in an op-ed piece Monday morning that the question of access is not just about AP; it's about people's access to the government that works for them. "Letting the government control which journalists can cover the highest office in the land and setting rules about what those journalists can say or write is a direct attempt to undercut the First Amendment," Pace wrote. "It should worry all of us." The Trump administration says it is up to the White House, not the press, to decide access to areas where space is limited. The White House Correspondents' Association had been deciding who is in the press pools since the Eisenhower administration. The White House reset that…...

11+ hour, 38+ min ago (1404+ words) Local governments across Maine have received just over $22 million in opioid settlement funds from pharmaceutical companies accused of fueling the overdose epidemic, with nearly $54 million more expected over the next decade and a half. The money is meant to go to prevention and harm reduction efforts, as well as treatment and recovery programs. But oversight is limited, and until recently there were no reporting requirements, meaning it was up to local officials how much they wanted to disclose about their plans. Many municipalities and counties have struggled to determine how those choices should be made, getting caught up in the logistics of how to disburse the funds fairly, ultimately delaying much-needed help for vulnerable communities. That's where a $2.5 million resource center comes in: one designed to help the local governments start spending the money appropriately and maintain data on where…...
