Charles Koch: ‘What we’re after is to fight against special interests’ Posted: 11 Oct 2015 12:16 PM PDT Charles Koch — one-half of the notorious multibillionaire Koch brothers — says he gets daily death threats and is now on al-Qaida's hit list.

Ex-Benghazi investigator: 'This has become a partisan investigation' focused on Clinton Posted: 11 Oct 2015 09:31 AM PDT A former investigator with the select congressional committee on Benghazi says the probe into the September 11, 2012, terror attacks that killed four Americans — including Ambassador Chris Stevens — morphed into a politically motivated mission targeting Hillary Clinton after the revelation that she used a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state.

Cushing quake follows rules to curb seismic activity tied to wells Posted: 11 Oct 2015 08:23 AM PDT An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.5 that struck near the U.S. crude oil hub of Cushing, Oklahoma on Saturday occurred just days after regulators imposed new rules meant to prevent temblors in the area and said more changes were possible. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC), which regulates the state's oil and gas industry, ordered companies on Sept. 18 to shut or reduce usage of five saltwater disposal wells around the north-central Oklahoma city of Cushing. Saltwater, a normal byproduct of oil and gas work, is put into deep disposal wells that scientists say have contributed to a rash of small and medium-sized earthquakes in Oklahoma since 2009.

House conservative group would 'look favorably' on Ryan for speakership Posted: 11 Oct 2015 08:05 AM PDT By Jason Lange and Timothy Gardner WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A group of hard-line conservative Republicans would "look favorably" on Paul Ryan if he ran to be speaker of the House of Representatives, the group's leader said on Sunday. The approximately 40-member House Freedom Caucus is at the center of turmoil within the Republican Party over who will be the party's effective leader in the House ahead of the 2016 presidential election. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy had been the front-runner in the race but abruptly dropped out on Thursday after facing skepticism from Freedom Caucus lawmakers who viewed him as too willing to compromise with Democratic President Barack Obama.

NLDS Game 2: Dodgers rally to even series after controversial takeout slide Posted: 10 Oct 2015 11:23 PM PDT

Reports: Officer's shooting of boy with pellet gun justified Posted: 10 Oct 2015 09:28 PM PDT A white Cleveland police officer was justified in fatally shooting a black 12-year-old boy holding a pellet gun moments after pulling up beside him, according to two outside reviews conducted at the request of the prosecutor investigating the death.

Reports given to Ohio prosecutors find police shooting of Tamir Rice 'reasonable' Posted: 10 Oct 2015 08:38 PM PDT Two outside experts have concluded a Cleveland police officer's fatal shooting of a 12-year-old boy who was carrying a toy gun was a reasonable response to a perceived threat, according to reports released by an Ohio prosecutor's office on Saturday. The independent conclusions submitted to the Cuyahoga County prosecutor's office come ahead of an expected decision by a grand jury on whether criminal charges are warranted in the November 2014 shooting of Tamir Rice, which was captured on surveillance video. Rice was black while the officer who shot him is white, and the case is one in a series of high-profile deaths of African-Americans at the hands of law enforcement which have raised questions about the use of force by police.
