A Louisiana appeals court has upheld a lower court finding that the mayor of Shreveport cannot run for reelection this fall because he used the wrong address when he signed up for the race. Monday's ruling is the latest in a lawsuit that says Mayor Adrian Perkins did not use the address where he claims a homestead tax exemption when he signed up to run for reelection as the law requires. He used another address in a different part of the city. The issue is expected to wind up before the state Supreme Court.

Matthew DePerno made his political reputation on loudly and repeatedly questioning the 2020 presidential election results. But now the political novice is accused of helping obtain improper access to voting machines and intending to use them to further the false claims, just three months before voters head to the polls in key statewide races in battleground Michigan. The reliability of election systems and equipment was already at stake in the attorney general's race given DePerno’s history. Michigan political experts said the new accusations are likely to influence voters, the majority of whom don't buy former President Donald Trump's lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
Testimony has ended in the trial of a truck driver charged in a crash that killed seven members of a Marine motorcycle club in New Hampshire. The final witness for the defense Monday was an accident reconstruction expert who testified that the 2019 crash would've happened even if the truck was in the middle of its lane because the lead biker was “headed in that direction." Prosecutors have argued that Volodymyr Zhukovskyy repeatedly swerved back and forth before the head-on crash and told police he caused it. But his attorney blames the lead biker, saying he lost control of his motorcycle and collided with the truck while driving drunk.

Authorities say a buffalo charged and seriously injured a Kansas sheriff’s deputy one day before the animal’s owner was found gored to death. Ellsworth County Sheriff Murray Marston said in a news release that the buffalo had wandered onto a state highway and the deputy was trying to get the animal back in a pasture when it charged. A deputy from a neighboring county “put down" the animal. Then, Monday morning, dispatchers got a call from a woman who said that she had found her nephew, 56-year-old Scott Schroeder, of rural Bushton, dead in a pen and that she thought a buffalo had killed him.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer effectively became the leader of the U.S. Senate on the morning of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. And it has been mess and tumult ever since, though less violent. Yet the New York Democrat has led the Senate in a surprisingly productive run, despite the longest evenly split 50-50 Senate in U.S. history. “I persist,” he told The Associated Press in an interview after passage of President Joe Biden's big health care, climate and economic package. With a willingness to broker often politically unpleasant compromises he is leading the fragile Senate Democratic majority to other substantive, sizable accomplishments. Biden

Oklahoma City police say a man who shot and killed his three children before turning the gun on himself livestreamed threatening messages shortly before the killings. Police on Monday identified the man as 30-year-old Francoise Littlejohn. They say a relative saw Littlejohn threatening to harm his children on a social media livestream early Saturday and notified police. Police say just three minutes before that call, surveillance video showed Littlejohn parking in a northwest Oklahoma City neighborhood where the bodies were later discovered by a jogger. The children were identified as 3-year-old Trinity Littlejohn, 4-year-old Aliyah Littlejohn and 6-year-old Kyren Littlejohn.
Researchers are seeking thousands of volunteers in the U.S. and Europe to test the first potential vaccine against Lyme disease in 20 years.

The only prior Lyme vaccine for people, made by another company, was pulled off the U.S. market in 2002. Pfizer and Valneva say with Lyme a growing threat, it's time to try again.

The Israeli military says that close to one-third of the Palestinians who died in the latest outbreak of violence between Israel and Gaza militants may have been killed by errant rockets fired by the Palestinian side. That assessment appears consistent with independent reporting by The Associated Press. Israel says 47 Palestinians were killed in the weekend of fighting — at least 14 of them by Islamic Jihad-fired rockets that fell short. No one in Gaza with direct knowledge of the explosions in question is speaking about them publicly. But live TV footage showed militant rockets falling short in densely packed residential neighborhoods. And AP visits to the sites of two explosions lent support to suspicions they were caused by rockets that went off course.
