Vogel had sent text messages late last month threatening New York Attorney General Letitia James and Judge Arthur Engoron with “death and physical harm” if they did not comply with his demands to “cease action” in the Trump case, according to a complaint filed in a court in Lancaster, a suburb east of Buffalo.

Burning ditches ‘can have devastating consequences,’ fire officials warn. Here’s an example
It is not uncommon for rural landowners to set fire to their ditches to burn away dry grass, brush and weeds. But fire officials in Haldimand-Norfolk say the risks of ditch burning far outweigh the convenience of using fire to clear land. Over the past week, firefighters in Haldimand have had to put out “numerous” fires that were started by residents burning grass and brush in roadside ditches, according to Katie McNaught, the county’s co-ordinator of emergency management. “This practice poses s

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri lawmakers gave final approval Thursday to significantly expand a low-interest loan program for farmers and small businesses, in a move that reflects strong consumer demand for such government aid amid persistently high borrowing costs.

UPDATE 1-BOJ's Ueda signals chance of rate hike if weak yen boosts inflation
Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda said on Thursday the central bank may raise interest rates again if the yen's declines significantly push up domestic inflation. "There's a possibility the weak yen could push up trend inflation through rises in imported goods prices," Ueda said in a press conference after attending the Group of 20 (G20) finance leaders' meeting in Washington. "If the impact becomes too big to ignore, it might lead to a change in monetary policy," he said, signaling the chance of another rate hike depending on the inflationary impact of the weak yen.
