50+ min ago (616+ words) With their fifth-straight win of at least 20 points, the Wildcats (10-0) continued their undefeated season and their best start since opening 11-0 in 2021-2022. Abilene Christian, which ranks 349th in the country in opponent free throws attempted per game, repeatedly sent Arizona to the foul line, which set the tone early. Abilene Christian had seven fouls in the game's first five minutes, and Arizona senior Jaden Bradley tied his career high of 10 made free throws just 11:29 into the game. Bradley finished with those 10 points and without a field goal (0 of 2) for the first time this season, something he did just once all of last season. The Wildcats found themselves in the double bonus 8:59 into the game and shot more free throws (25) than field goals (23) in the first half. Arizona's final free-throw tally was 30 of 39. Arizona had six players score in double figures and were…...

1+ hour ago (140+ words) A new bill could make speed limits a thing of the past on rural highways in Arizona for non-commercial traffic during daylight hours. Proposed Arizona bill could remove speed limits from rural highways Rep. Nick Kupper says having no maximum speed could make roads safer. But Joseph Young with the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety says a 25-year national study showed even modest speed-limit increases have big impacts. "On those higher speed roads a 5 mph increase on the speed limits associated with about an 8% increase in the fatality rate on those roads. The evidence is pretty clear that there's definitely a safety drawback when states do raise those speed limits," Young said. Kupper's bill would require ADOT to conduct a yearlong pilot program on a stretch of Interstate 8 between Yuma and Casa Grande....

2+ hour, 5+ min ago (434+ words) Pete Hegseth and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly had a contentious exchange Tuesday as the Defense secretary attempted to defend controversial strikes on alleged drug boats. Hegseth, 45, was briefing lawmakers on the Senate Armed Services Committee about the Trump administration's strikes in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean. Some have questioned the legality of the lethal actions, in particular one in early September that killed survivors of a prior strike who were clinging to boat wreckage. After Kelly asked about the strikes, Hegseth contrasted lawful and unlawful orders, according to PunchBowl News. This was an apparent reference to how Hegseth's Defense Department is investigating the senator for participating in a video reminding troops that they should disobey "unlawful orders." Kelly, a former Navy captain, interrupted Hegseth and said his question was unrelated to the department's probe, according to the report....

3+ hour, 33+ min ago (697+ words) The lawsuit filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington is the latest legal battle that several states are pursuing over funding for EV charging infrastructure that they say was obligated to them by Congress under former President Joe Biden, but that the Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration are "impounding." "The Trump Administration's illegal attempt to stop funding for electric vehicle infrastructure must come to an end," California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a release. "This is just another reckless attempt that will stall the fight against air pollution and climate change, slow innovation, thwart green job creation, and leave communities without access to clean, affordable transportation." The Department of Transportation did not immediately respond to request for comment. The Trump administration in February ordered states to halt spending money for EV charging…...

4+ hour, 5+ min ago (347+ words) December 16, 2025, 8:08 PM A quick meeting of the House Democrats Tuesday morning cleared the way for Del. Joseline Pe'a-Melnyk (D-Prince George's and Anne Arundel) to become the next speaker of the House of Delegates.

5+ hour, 21+ min ago (282+ words) A grand jury in Texas has indicted a Baytown police officer for a fatal crash that killed two children in October. KPRC reports that Michael Hightower, 28, has been charged with two counts of manslaughter and one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The crash took place on October 23 as Hightower was reportedly responding to a call shortly after 7 p.m. The indictments say Hightower was traveling at a high rate of speed without lights or sirens when he struck a 2023 Honda Odyssey carrying five children as that vehicle was making a left turn with a blinking yellow arrow. Hightower reportedly had a green light, but a police report determined he was at fault since he was speeding and had not engaged his lights and sirens. The rate of speed impacted the other driver's response time, the report said. Hightower and…...

5+ hour, 24+ min ago (611+ words) LAS VEGAS " Becky Mitchell was blunt in her assessment of the situation. "The Colorado River does not respond to press releases or historical entitlements, it responds to snowpack, soil moisture and temperature," Mitchell, who is Colorado's commissioner over the river, said in remarks on Tuesday. She pointed out the horrible hydrology at a meeting of Upper Basin states at the annual Colorado River Water Users Association meeting. Lake Powell is only 27% full; Lake Mead is 33%. For eastern Utah rancher Bill Butcher? It was nothing new. He lives along a tributary of the Colorado River and relies on it. "We're a little worried. The drought is affecting all of us for sure," Butcher said. The hydrology is becoming a significant component in negotiations between the seven states along the Colorado River, who are here in Las Vegas to try to come…...
