The outcry over the Trump administration's approach to illegal immigration has served to highlight the widening partisan gulf between most U.S. farmers and their largely foreign workforce. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday, June 20, addressing the practice of separating migrant families arriving at the U.S. border, which has been the subject of huge media attention. Trump said the "zero-tolerance" policy toward undocumented immigrants continues.
President Donald Trump never mentioned Tim Pawlenty at a rally in Duluth, Minnesota, on Wednesday. But with a shout-out to Pawlenty's running mate, Michelle Fischbach, the president seemed to all but endorse Pawlenty's bid for the Republican nomination for Minnesota governor this year.
They work as private tutors and soccer coaches, as waiters, grocery clerks and ride-share drivers. Across the country, 18 percent of teachers earn income outside the classroom, according to a National Center for Education Statistics report released Wednesday.

The Senate on Wednesday rejected billions in spending cuts proposed by the Trump administration as two Republicans joined all Democrats in voting "no." The 48-50 vote rebuffed a White House plan to claw back some $15 billion in spending previously approved by Congress - a show of fiscal responsibility that was encouraged by conservative lawmakers outraged over a $1.3 trillion spending bill in March.
There are lots of ways to celebrate the World Cup. You could wear a festive jersey. You could take a day off to watch some games. You could paint your face or even fly to Russia to attend in person. Or, according to a new ad from Burger King, you could allow yourself to get impregnated by a World Cup soccer star. In a social media post, Burger King's Russia team offered 3 million rubles (about $47,000) and a lifetime supply of Whoppers to "women who get pregnant from world football stars." It's all part of an effort, it said, to inherit "the best football genes."
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump abruptly reversed course Wednesday, signing an executive order ending family separations at the U.S.-Mexico border after a public uproar over the impact of his administration's "zero tolerance" immigration policy.

The 13 bald eagles were found lifeless on a Maryland farm more than two years ago, many with wings splayed, bodies intact, and talons clenched. Several were too young to have their species' distinctive white heads. And at least six, according to a federal lab report, had ingested a highly toxic pesticide that has been essentially banned from the U.S. market, in part because it is lethal to birds.
Cooper Hefner has his father's translucent skin and mischievous smile, which stretches across his face like a flat line. He's lankier but has the same eyes, impenetrable bits of brown seaglass below that high forehead. "He looks just like his father," marvels a woman catching a glimpse in a dark nightclub. True, if you can imagine Hugh Hefner without the satin pajamas and harem of spray-tanned blondes.
VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis stepped into a growing controversy over President Donald Trump's immigration policies, criticizing the separation of migrant families at the U.S.-Mexican border and saying that "populism" and "creating psychosis" are not the way to resolve migration problems, according to an interview published Wednesday. Speaking to Reuters news agency, the pope said, "It's not easy, but populism is not the solution."
