LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, has asked a judge to grant him immunity from being re-charged with attempted murder of a police officer for shooting at officers he thought were robbers breaking into Taylor’s apartment during an early morning raid.

"I believe additional investigation is necessary," Wine said, citing a pending FBI investigation of the...

After his three years in the USFL, the league went out of business so the running back moved to the NFL where he played for 11 years, most noticeably with the Dallas Cowboys. Biden’ s...

The committee Wednesday considered the nomination of Judge Justin Walker to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, also known as the D.C.

Wisconsin’s Democratic Gov.-elect Tony Evers said Sunday he’s not optimistic that outgoing governor Scott Walker will veto bills approved by the Republican-dominated Legislature that would limit the new governor’s power. Speaking on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Evers said he talked by telephone with Walker recently and appealed to him to veto the legislation, but that Walker was noncommittal.

From an email: Dear SEIU Local 1000 Members: Today the Supreme Court issued the long-awaited decision in the case of Janus vs. AFSCME. As expected, we witnessed the highest legal authority in the United States disregard 40 years of their own legal precedents protecting workers’ rights and instead choose to continue to erode unions. The Janus vs. AFSCME case was argued by the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation – a group whose sole purpose is to break unions. This case, like many others, is supported and funded by billionaires and corporations who began the “Right to Work” movement....
