Oregon state Sen. Brian Boquist, one of the nearly dozen Republican lawmakers who went into hiding or left the state last week to prevent the chamber from voting on a bill that would create a cap-and-trade system in the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, after her department announced that it was dropping the remaining criminal charges for the Flint water crisis. The cases were dismissed without prejudice -- meaning they could be refiled -- in order to conduct a full and complete investigation.
