By DANICA KIRKA and JILL LAWLESS (Associated Press)LONDON (AP) — King Charles III was crowned Saturday at Westminster Abbey, in a ceremony steeped in ancient ritual and brimming with bling at a time when the monarchy is striving to remain relevant in a fractured modern Britain.At a coronation with displays of royal power straight out of the Middle Ages, Charles was presented with an orb, a sword and scepter and had the solid gold, bejeweled St. Edward’s Crown placed atop his head as he sat upon a 700-year-old oak chair.In front of world leaders, foreign royals, dignitaries and a smattering of stars, Charles declared: “I come not to be served but to serve.” Inside the medieval abbey, trumpets sounded, and the congregation of more than 2,000 shouted “God save the king!” Outside, thousands of troops, hundreds of thousands of spectators and scores of protesters converged.It was the culmination of a seven-decade journey for the king from heir to monarc...

New Hampshire teeming with politicians as 2024 race shapes up

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:56:22 GMT

It may seem like it’s some time away here in the Bay State, but for residents of the first-in-the-nation primary state just to our north, it would be impossible to ignore the steady beat of the political war drums through their cities and towns.Despite the year and a half standing between now and the 2024 presidential election — or the most of a year before the party primaries — New Hampshire is already crawling with White House hopefuls, some of whom are already household names in the Granite State.Former President Donald Trump is obviously not unknown to voters north of Boston, where he twice won the state primary, and Salem, N.H., was Trump’s first official campaign stop after announcing his run. The 45th President, who continues to dominate the Republican field, was there again last week for a campaign rally in Manchester and will be there again next week for a town hall-style forum at Saint Anselm College.“Trump to me is clearly taking this seriously and this time he’s got a te...

Oregon GOP boycott hits 4th day, delays Democrat-led bills

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:56:22 GMT

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A walkout by most Republican members of the Oregon Senate reached a fourth straight day Saturday, delaying action by the majority Democrats on bills on gun safety, abortion rights and gender-affirming health care.The GOP’s boycott prevented a quorum, and Senate President Rob Wagner adjourned the body until Sunday morning.Republican lawmakers have used walkouts in the past, but if they continue to stay away they’ll be risking their jobs. Last November, voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot measure that bans lawmakers with 10 unexcused absences from running for reelection.The boycott comes as several statehouses around the nation, including in Montana and Tennessee, have become battlegrounds between conservatives and liberals. Oregon has increasingly been divided between liberal population centers like Portland and Eugene and its mostly conservative rural areas.The Associated Press
