(AP) A Republican state lawmaker in North Dakota says he doesn’t know how two anti-Islam posts appeared in his Facebook feed. Rep. Jim Kasper, of Fargo, says his account may have been hacked by political opponents. Kasper posted an apology Tuesday on his private Facebook page to those who can see his posts. He says he has about 4,000 Facebook friends, most of whom he does not know personally. Kasper says he is deleting some of his Facebook friends and having his computer checked for security breaches. Kasper is one of the most conservative lawmakers in the GOP-led Legislature.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — State environmental officials say a spill of oilfield wastewater caused by a faulty valve has affected some pastureland in western North Dakota. The state Department of Environmental Quality said the 12,180-gallon produced water spill happened on Saturday at a well pad about 14 miles east of Watford City. State environmental scientist Bill Suess said only about 168 gallons of produced water escaped the well site. He said about 800 square feet of pastureland was affected. He said no water sources were harmed.

Graphic looks at how the Houston Astros used electronics for sign stealing during their run to the 2017 World Series title; 2c x 4 3/4 inches; with BC-BBA-Astros-Sign-Stealing;
(AP) Here is a diagram of how the Houston Astros stole Signs from the opposing teams catcher during the 2017 baseball season.
Less than a month before the start of spring training, the American League champion Houston Astros are without a manager and general manager after AJ Hinch and Jeff Luhnow were suspended by Major League Baseball and then fired by team owner Jim Crane for a sign-stealing scheme. The penalties were announced Monday by MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred after he found illicit use of electronics to steal signs in Houston’s run to the 2017 World Series championship and again in the 2018 season. The Astros lost Game 7 of the World Series last year and begin spring training in four weeks.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Rougher shoving and sharper jabs are expected as a tighter field of Democrats takes the stage for Tuesday night’s final debate before Iowa’s leadoff presidential caucuses. Just six candidates are gathering in Des Moines. That’s the smallest number yet on a debate stage. The new dynamic will offer candidates more opportunities to criticize each other’s proposals as well as tout their own. But the fuel for the fire comes from the fact that it’s the last debate before Iowa’s results, which will give the winner momentum for the primaries to come. State polling shows Iowans’ preferences too close to call.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House is expected to vote Wednesday to send the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate. Speaker Nancy Pelosi made the announcement Tuesday. Meanwhile, pressure in mounting on senators to call fresh witnesses for the trial. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the trial could start this week, but significant proceedings would launch next Tuesday after the holiday break. He said all 53 GOP senators are on board with his plan to start the session and consider the issue of witnesses later. Trump was impeached by the Democratic-led House last month on charges of abuse of power over pushing Ukraine to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden and obstructing Congress’ probe.
(AP) The National Security Agency has discovered a major security flaw in Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system that could allow hackers to intercept seemingly secure communications. But rather than exploit the flaw for its own intelligence needs, the NSA tipped off Microsoft so that it can fix the system for everyone. Microsoft released a free software patch Tuesday. It credits the agency for discovering it. The company says it hasn’t seen any evidence that hackers have used the technique. One expert says this is a good example of the “constructive role” that the NSA can play in improving global information security.
NEW YORK (AP) — Producers of the game show ‘Jeopardy!’ are apologizing for a mistake that put the show in a political controversy. A clue in a game last week required contestants to identify the site of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. When one contestant said it was in Palestine, she was told she was incorrect and another contestant won $200 for answering Israel. Bethlehem is in an Israeli-controlled section of the West Bank that some countries recognize as Palestine and others, including the United States, do not. ‘Jeopardy!’ says it removed the question from the game, seeing it was problematic, but an incorrect version was sent to TV stations.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The Equal Rights Amendment is continuing to advance in the Virginia Legislature, where its passage is all but certain. A House committee on Tuesday approved a resolution to ratify the gender equality measure. Advocates hope it will become the next amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The 13-9 vote split along party lines, with all Democrats supporting it and all Republicans opposing it. A Senate committee already advanced a similar resolution. The resolutions are now before the full House and Senate. Even if it’s ratified in Virginia, the amendment is far from being a done deal. Court battles are expected nationwide over a long-passed 1982 deadline set by Congress.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin appeals court has put on hold an order to immediately remove up to 209,000 names from the state’s voter registration rolls, handing Democrats who had fought the move a victory in the battleground state. The case is being closely watched, as Wisconsin is among a group of swing states being targeted by both Democrats and President Donald Trump this year. Trump narrowly won Wisconsin in 2016 by fewer than 23,000 votes, putting even more of a focus on every voter in the state. The state appeals court sided with the elections commission Tuesday in putting the purge on hold.
CHICAGO (AP) — Boeing orders have fallen to their lowest level since 2003 and cancellations are outnumbering sales. Those are signs of how badly the crisis surrounding the 737 Max has damaged the company. Boeing says it took 246 orders for new commercial airplanes in 2019, the lowest number since 2003. And deliveries are down too because Boeing halted shipments of the Max last spring. Its European rival Airbus has sprinted far ahead of Boeing in both orders and deliveries. Meanwhile, American Airlines is taking the Max out of its schedule for two more months, until early June, and canceling thousands more flights.
