The icon for the TikTok video sharing app is seen on a smartphone in Marple Township, Pa., on Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2023. (AP Photo/Matt Slocum, File)2025-04-01T16:37:09Z LOS ANGELES (AP) As the deadline to strike a deal over TikTok approaches this week, President Donald Trump has signaled that he is confident his administration can broker an agreement with ByteDance, the social media apps China-based parent company.Speaking with reporters on Air Force One late Sunday, Trump said that theres tremendous interest in Tiktok. He added that he would like to see TikTok remain alive. The presidents comments came less than one week before an April deadline requiring ByteDance to divest or face a ban in the United States.We have a lot of potential buyers, Trump said. Trump also said that the administration is dealing with China who also want it because they may have something to do with it. Last week, Trump said he would consider a reduction in tariffs on China if that countrys government approves a sale of TikToks operations in the U.S. Questions about the fate of the popular video sharing app have continued to linger since a law requiring ByteDances divestment took effect on Jan. 19. After taking office, Trump gave TikTok a 75-day reprieve by signing an executive order that delayed enforcement of the statute until April 5. During his first term, Trump tried to ban TikTok on national security grounds, which was halted by the courts before his administration negotiated a sale of the platform that eventually failed to materialize. He changed his position on the popular app during last years presidential election and has credited the platform with helping him win more young voters. I won the young vote by 36 points. Republicans generally dont do very well with the young vote, he said Sunday. I think a lot of it could have been TikTok.Trump has said that the deadline on a TikTok deal could be extended further if needed. He previously proposed terms in which the U.S. would have a 50% stake in a joint venture. The administration hasnt provided details on what that type of deal would entail. TikTok and ByteDance have not publicly commented on the talks. Its also unclear if ByteDance has changed its position on selling TikTok, which it said early last year it does not plan to do. What will happen on April 5?If TikTok is not sold to an approved buyer by April 5, the original law that bans it nationwide would once again go into effect. However, the deadline for the executive order doesnt appear to be set in stone and the president has reiterated it could be extended further if needed.Trumps order came a few days after the Supreme Court unanimously upheld a federal law that required ByteDance to divest or be banned in January. The day after the ruling, TikTok went dark for U.S. users and came back online after Trump vowed to stall the ban.The decision to keep TikTok alive through an executive order has received some scrutiny, but it has not faced a legal challenge in court.Who wants to buy TikTok?Although its unclear if ByteDance plans to sell TikTok, several potential bidders have come forward in the past few months.Aides for Vice President JD Vance, who was tapped to oversee a potential deal, have reached out to some parties, such as the artificial intelligence startup Perplexity AI, to get additional details about their bids, according to a person familiar with the matter. In January, Perplexity AI presented ByteDance with a merger proposal that would combine Perplexitys business with TikToks U.S. operation. Other potential bidders include a consortium organized by billionaire businessman Frank McCourt, which recently recruited Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian as a strategic adviser. Investors in the consortium say theyve offered ByteDance $20 billion in cash for TikToks U.S. platform. And if successful, they plan to redesign the popular app with blockchain technology they say will provide users with more control over their online data.Jesse Tinsley, the founder of the payroll firm Employer.com, says he too has organized a consortium, which includes the CEO of the video game platform Roblox, and is offering ByteDance more than $30 billion for TikTok. Trump said in January that Microsoft was also eyeing the popular app. Other interested parties include Trumps former Treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin and Rumble, the video site popular with some conservatives and far-right groups. In a post on X last March, Rumble said it was ready to join a consortium of parties interested in purchasing TikTok and serving as a tech partner for the company.

After two years with little progress in the case, supporters and friends of the late drag queen Heklina are demanding justice from the London Metropolitan Police, who they are accusing of homophobia in the investigation into her death. Heklina whose birth name was Stefan Grygelko was found dead by close friends and fellow drag queen Peaches Christ (Joshua Grannell) in London on April 3, 2023, but The Met has yet to reveal the cause of death, although they have said labeled her death as unexpected, the BBC reports. On March 31, protesters carrying signs reading, We Deserve Justice, Not Discrimination, Queer Safety Over Police Power, End Met Police Homophobia Now! and blown-up photos of Heklina walked along the Thames River Embankment and gathered outside of New Scotland Yard, accusing investigators of shirking their responsibilities in the case due to homophobic bias.Sign up for the PRIDE.com Newsletter to get a candid take on whats fresh and fun in LGBTQ+ culture this week!Peaches Christ, LGBTQ+ activist Peter Tatchell, drag queens Cheddar Gorgeous, and Crystal all spoke at the rally that was held in tandem with an event at The Stud in San Francisco where drag queens perfumed and then protestors participated in a candlelit march to nightclub Oasis, which Heklina helped transform into a drag and cabaret club.We feel your sisterly love here in London and we super appreciate it, Peaches Christ told the crowd in London, per the San Francisco Chronicle. This sunshine, this weather today, I feel Heklina is with us and she will be in San Francisco later today.See on InstagramThe police said it apologized to Heklinas family and was working to establish any missed opportunities in the case after reviewing the investigation. The Met has also been accused of keeping information from the family and for taking until January of this year to release the CCTV footage that showed three men leaving the flat where Heklina was found dead and was living at with Peaches Christ at the time of her death.When Heklina died, there was no public appeal for witnesses and it's taken them two years to release the CCTV footage, Tatchell told the BBC. Tatchell joined the rally outside The Met in an attempt to hold the polices feet to the fire."That is an abject betrayal of trust and confidence, and I think the police have to answer those questions and have to start getting serious about finding out how Heklina died, he said, adding that the case was proof that The Met is institutionally homophobic."They're not treating the death of a significant member of our community seriously, they've not done the basics of any proper investigation, Tatchell continued.Drag Race star Crystal (Colin Seymour) echoed this frustration with the police, telling the publication that the handling of the case has been disgraceful.It seems very clear that homophobic bias has influenced the investigation in this case," she said.When Heklinas body was found by Peaches Christ, she was still in drag and found in a compromising position, potentially leading to internal bias coloring the investigation into her death."It paints a very clear picture that if you're a queer person, especially if you're gender non-conforming, and you die unexplained, then the police don't care. It seems to be only through the threat of public action that anything's been getting done with this case, Crystal explained.Detective Chief Superintendent Christina Jessah told the BBC The Met is aware that there is "frustration with the pace of the police investigation."We continue to examine all lines of inquiry in relation to Steven's death and remain steadfast in our determination to establish the facts, she said.

MAGA supporter Kid Rock is being mercilessly roasted by the internet after showing up to the Oval Office wearing a ridiculous bright red bedazzled suit featuring an American Flag motif.On Monday, the musician stood beside the Resolute Desk as President Donald Trump signed an executive order meant to reign in exploitative ticket scalping and price gouging by making commonsense reforms to how concerts and other live events are priced, The Guardian reports.Not only was Kid Rock sporting a suit more befitting Super Dave being shot out of a cannon, but he was also wearing a white straw fedora, sunglasses, and a gold chain while talking about online ticket bots scooping up tickets before jacking up the price. Anyone whos bought a concert ticket in the last decade, maybe 20 years no matter what your politics are knows that its a conundrum, Kid Rock said.Although ticket pricing is an issue that the Biden administration also tried to tackle, and many people are frustrated by how out of control ticket prices have gotten in recent years, Kid Rock who once shot up cases of Bud Light after trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney became a spokesperson is currently enduring mocking on X (formerly Twitter) over his bizarre choice of attire. People pointed out MAGAs hypocrisy in keeping silent about Kid Rocks outfit after whining that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was being inappropriate by not wearing a suit to the White House, while other people were clearly having fun comparing his sparkly suit to a Temu version of Evel Knievels signature getup.

Scott Applewhite)2025-04-01T20:14:50Z WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump says his tariff announcements slated for Wednesday will amount to a Liberation Day for the United States. But American businesses and financial markets are unlikely to be freed from the uncertainty generated by his often stop-and-go trade policy.Some big questions will be resolved when Trump announces what are expected to be reciprocal tariffs that involve raising U.S. import duties to be equal to the levies that other countries impose on U.S. goods. Companies will have a greater sense of how many countries will be affected, and how high the duties will be.Yet questions will still swirl around trade and tariffs for months to come, economists say. More tariffs are in the pipeline and could target specific industries such as pharmaceuticals, copper and lumber. And the United States may reach deals with other countries that could alter the reciprocal tariffs. There will also be countless details that could take months to resolve to determine precisely which imports will be hit with taxes. As a result, few analysts expect Wednesdays announcement to bring the certainty that many businesses and Wall Street investors crave. April 2 is when this all kicks off, its not when all of this ends, said Kelly Ann Shaw, a former senior White House trade adviser during Trumps first term. At some point this will settle. But because were at the very beginning of what will fundamentally be a total rethink of the global trading system, there are going to be a lot more questions than answers in the near term. For now, a measure of economic policy uncertainty maintained by Nicholas Bloom, a Stanford University economist and two colleagues, is at its highest level outside of the pandemic since its inception in 1985.When businesses are unsure about where economic policy is headed, they are more likely to put major spending projects on hold and slow hiring, Bloom said. And when unsure, consumers typically take a more cautious approach to spending. April 2 could reduce uncertainty if this is a once and final announcement on tariffs, Bloom said. But I suspect it will be one of a series on ongoing announcements.Trump has been unequivocally clear for decades about the need to restore American greatness, said White House spokesman Kush Desai. America cannot just be an assembler of foreign-made parts we must become a manufacturing powerhouse that dominates every step of the supply chain of industries that are critical for our national security and economic interests.Randy Carr, CEO of World Emblem, said he expects the products he makes in Mexico and Canada will face a 25% tariff as soon as Wednesday. The company has already notified customers that it will raise prices 8%. World Emblem makes badges, patches and labels for companies, universities and law enforcement agencies.In February, Carr put about $9 million in investment on hold, most of which he planned to spend on artificial intelligence and online commerce. He has started to spend some of that money but is doing so more slowly than he would prefer. We dont know if well need the money for tariffs, he said. Who knows what will happen on Wednesday.Already in place are duties on cars, steel, aluminum and all imports from China. Surveys have found widespread uncertainty among manufacturing firms and even oil company executives, who say that higher costs for steel pipe will cut into their profits.Emerald Packaging, which makes packaging for produce and whose clients include Walmart and Kroger, is holding back on investment for now, given the uncertainty.CEO Kevin Kelly said the Union City, California-based company learned a big lesson during the height of the pandemic. It started 2021 with $7 million in cash but depleted its reserves by year-end because of the costs of navigating supply chain snarls.Were not spending any money right now, he said. Were trying to build cash ... because well need a cushion.One reason the cloudy outlook surrounding tariffs is likely to remain for months is that Trump wants to maintain some uncertainty about his next steps as a negotiating strategy, Shaw said. Intentional ambiguity is a key component of his approach to trade talks, Shaw said. Those negotiations will likely start after reciprocal duties are announced and could take months to resolve.At the same time, Trump is due to receive a series of reports this week on other countries trade policies, including tariffs but also the subsidies, currency manipulation and tax policies that Trump officials say can distort trade. Those reports could prompt further steps.And then there is Trumps confessed love of tariffs and his willingness to use them for a variety of policy goals, including raising revenue, forcing action on fentanyl trafficking and bringing back manufacturing. The White House has also said it will slap 25% tariffs on any country that imports oil from Venezuela, though that also includes the United States. Given that tariffs seem to be an answer for every problem, who knows what might happen next and what will lead to yet another ad hoc round of tariffs? said Marc Busch, professor of international business diplomacy at Georgetown University.A big question for the economy is how long this might last.Matthew Luzzetti, an economist at Deutsche Bank, said that even if Wednesdays announcement were the final word on tariffs, the uncertainty around the presidents actions so far could drag down growth by about 1% for several quarters.If that uncertainty were to extend further, or remain elevated for longer, that would only amplify the effects, Luzzetti said.Neil Bradley, chief policy officer at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said that even with more certainty, adding tariffs will harm the economy.To the extent that April 2 provides clarity, then you can begin to make adjustments and plans, Bradley said. But having certainty about economically harmful policies is not a positive.___Associated Press Retail Writer Anne DInnocenzio in New York contributed to this report.

In this photo provided by El Salvador's presidential press office, prison guards transfer deportees from the U.S., alleged to be Venezuelan gang members, to the Terrorism Confinement Center in Tecoluca, El Salvador, Sunday, March 16, 2025. (El Salvador presidential press office via AP)2025-04-01T15:52:44Z President Donald Trump s administration has acknowledged mistakenly deporting a Maryland man with protected legal status to a notorious El Salvador prison last month, but is arguing against returning him to the United States because of his alleged gang ties and the U.S. governments lack of power over the Central American nation.Lawyers for Kilmar Armando Garcia, 29, maintain he is not affiliated with MS-13 or any other street gang and argue the U.S. government has never produced an iota of evidence that he does.Abrego Garcia was arrested in Baltimore on March 12 after working a shift as a sheet metal apprentice in Baltimore and picking up his 5-year-old son, who has autism and other disabilities, from his grandmothers house, his lawyers complaint stated.Abrego Garcia was then sent to the Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT, which activists say is rife with abuses and where inmates are packed into cells and never allowed outside. Abrego Garcias wife later saw him in photos and video from the prison, identifying her husband through his distinctive tattoos and two scars on his head. AP AUDIO: An administrative error sent a Maryland man to an El Salvador prison, ICE says At a news conference, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about the Trump administration acknowledging it mistakenly deported a Maryland man with protected legal status to a notorious El Salvador prison U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials admitted in a court filing on Monday to an administrative error in deporting him. The governments acknowledgment sparked immediate uproar from immigration advocates while prompting Vice President JD Vance and other administration officials to repeat the allegation that hes a gang member. MS-13 allegation stems from a 2019 arrestAbrego Garcia came to the U.S. illegally from El Salvador around 2011, fleeing gang violence, according to his lawyers, and made his way to Maryland to join his older brother, a U.S. citizen.Beginning around 2006, gang members had stalked, hit, and threatened to kidnap and kill him in order to coerce his parents to succumb to their increasing demands for extortion, the complaint states of his life in his native country. Abrego Garcia later married a U.S. citizen and worked in construction to support her, their son and her two children from a previous relationship.The allegations about his affiliation with MS-13 stem from a 2019 arrest outside a Maryland Home Depot store, where he and other young men were looking for work, according to the complaint. County police asked if he was a gang member and demanded information about other gang members. After explaining that he wasnt a gang member and had no information, he was turned over to ICE.ICE argued against Abrego Garcias release at a subsequent immigration court hearing because local police had verified his gang membership, the complaint said. The evidence they cited included his wearing of a Chicago Bulls hat and hoodie and a confidential informants claim that Abrego Garcia belonged to MS-13s Westerns clique in Long Island, New York, despite having never lived there.Abrego Garcia filed for asylum, while his lawyer submitted a voluminous evidentiary filing establishing his eligibility for protection and contesting the unfounded allegation of gang membership, the complaint stated. In response, ICE cited the information previously provided by local police. An immigration judge denied Abrego Garcias asylum request in October 2019 but granted him protection from being deported back to El Salvador. He was released after ICE did not appeal.Abrego Garcias lawyers say he has neither been convicted nor charged with any crime and has fully complied with the conditions of his protected status, checking in with ICE yearly.Abrego Garcias lawyer, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, said U.S. government lawyers had multiple opportunities to try legally to deport him, including appealing the judges 2019 decision or deporting him elsewhere.There are lots of things they could have done, Sandoval-Moshenberg told The Associated Press. But each one of those is in a court and gives him the opportunity to defend himself. And they didnt do any of them. They just put him on an airplane. ICE calls deportation an oversight In its court filing on Monday, the Trump administration said ICE was aware of his protection from removal to El Salvador, but still deported Abrego Garcia because of an administrative error.An ICE official called his deportation to El Salvador an oversight in a statement submitted to the court on Monday.Robert Cerna, ICEs acting field office director of enforcement and removal operations, wrote that it was carried out in good faith based on the existence of a final order of removal and Abrego-Garcias purported membership in MS-13.The administration argued against his return to the U.S., citing alleged gang ties and claiming that he is a danger to the community.They also argued that the court lacks jurisdiction in the matter because Abrego Garcia is no longer in U.S. custody.The administration wrote that Abrego Garcias attorneys do not argue that the United States can exercise its will over a foreign sovereign. The most they ask for is a court order that the United States entreat or even cajole a close ally. In response to criticism, Vance posted a screenshot of court documents related to Abrego Garcias 2019 bond proceeding on the social platform X and wrote that its gross to get fired up about gang members getting deported while ignoring citizens they victimize. ___Finley reported from Norfolk, Virginia.

(AP Photo/Phil Sears, File)2025-04-01T04:01:47Z ORMOND BEACH, Fla. (AP) Republican state Sen. Randy Fine won a special election Tuesday to represent Floridas 6th Congressional District, defeating Democratic challenger Josh Weil and squashing efforts by national Democrats who spent millions of dollars on the race.Fine had faced growing pressure during the races final days as some Republicans publicly criticized his campaign and fundraising efforts. His victory ends Democratic hopes to score a huge upset in a district that was heavily supportive of President Donald Trump in November. The race to fill the seat vacated by Mike Waltz when he was tapped to become Trumps national security adviser received national attention. Democrats poured money into Weils campaign to outraise Fine by nearly tenfold, attempting to flip a seat where the president won by more than 30 points. Fine, a self-described conservative firebrand, ran with Trumps endorsement. Fines struggles came in the last few weeks as national Republican operatives worried that he needed more money to combat Weils eye-popping $9 million compared to Fines $1 million, which drew national attention from political operatives questioning whether this race would embarrass Republicans less than 100 days into Trumps administration. Yet that wasnt the case for Democrats. For weeks, national leaders have attributed Weils fundraising success to what they characterized as widespread outrage about the Trump administrations overhaul of the federal government. That outrage failed to materialize in large enough numbers to overturn the outcome in the reliably Republican district, foiling Democrats hope to pull off a huge upset that would have buoyed their party.Fine was first elected to the Florida House in 2016 and ran each year as a representative until 2024 when he successfully won his election to the Florida Senate.

An entrance to the U.S. Naval Academy campus in Annapolis, Md., is seen Jan. 9, 2014. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File)2025-04-01T23:11:21Z WASHINGTON (AP) The U.S. Naval Academy has removed nearly 400 books from its library after being told by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseths office to review and get rid of ones that promote diversity, equity and inclusion, U.S officials said Tuesday.Academy officials were told to review the library late last week, and an initial search had identified about 900 books for a closer look. They decided on nearly 400 to remove and began doing so Monday, finishing before Hegseth arrived for a visit Tuesday that had already been planned and was not connected to the library purge, officials said. A list of the books has not yet been made available.Pulling the books off the shelves is another step in the Trump administrations far-reaching effort to eliminate so-called DEI content from federal agencies, including policies, programs, online and social media postings and curriculum at schools. The Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, the Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs, Colorado, and the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York, had not been included in President Donald Trumps executive order in January that banned DEI instruction, programs or curriculum in kindergarten through 12th grade schools that receive federal funding. That is because the academies are colleges. Pentagon leaders, however, suddenly turned their attention to the Naval Academy last week when a media report noted that the school had not removed books that promoted DEI. A U.S. official said the academy was told late last week to conduct the review and removal. It isnt clear if the order was directed by Hegseth or someone else on his staff. A West Point official confirmed that the school had completed a review of its curriculum and was prepared to review library content if directed by the Army. The Air Force and Naval academies had also done curriculum reviews as had been required. An Air Force Academy official said the school continually reviews its curriculum, coursework and other materials to ensure it all complies with executive orders and Defense Department policies. Last week, Lt. Gen. Tony Bauernfeind, the Air Force Academy superintendent, told Congress that the school was in the middle of its course review, but there was no mention of books.The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss academy policies.Hegseth has aggressively pushed the department to erase DEI programs and online content, but the campaign has been met with questions from angry lawmakers, local leaders and citizens over the removal of military heroes and historic mentions from Defense Department websites and social media pages. In response, the department has scrambled to restore some of those posts as their removals have come to light. The confusion about how to interpret the DEI policy was underscored Monday as Naval Academy personnel mistakenly removed some photos of distinguished female Jewish graduates from a display case as they prepared for Hegseths visit. The photos were put back.In a statement, the Navy said it is aware that photos were mistakenly removed from the Naval Academy Jewish Center. It said U.S. Naval Academy leadership was immediately taking steps to review and correct the unauthorized removal.Hegseth spoke with students and had lunch at the academy Tuesday, but media were not invited or allowed to cover the visit.

The NWSL is one of the gayest sports leagues in the world, with legends like Megan Rapinoe, Ali Krieger, Tobin Heath, and Quinn helping establish the league, and current stars like Christen Press, Marta, Debinha, and Tierna Davidson continuing to lead the way.The league's games are also a haven for queer people, with pride flags, butches, queer kids, and trans support everywhere the eye can see! Going to an NWSL game is basically like going to lesbian heaven.But what fans really want to know is, what team name is the gayest? That's where we come in with our expert analysis!So without further ado, these are all the currently named NWSL teams ranked in ascending order by how gay the club name sounds.15. Chicago StarsSee on InstagramAccording to a social media rumor, the team name was changed from the Red Stars in 2024 due to "new ownership's belief that the team's name had a political connotation they didn't like." We don't know if there's any truth to that rumor, but there is nothing gay about trying to distance yourself from communism.14. Gotham FCSee on InstagramNew York City is pretty gay, but when we hear this nickname we think of Batman, who unfortunately, is very straight.13. Racing LouisvilleSee on InstagramWhile walking fast is definitely gay, we don't know about running. Gay rights aren't a race, we're all trying to get to the finish line together.12. Houston DashSee on InstagramSimilar to Racing, the Houston Dash implies a lot of running and racing, something we're not sure gays are that into.11. Boston LegacySee on InstagramBoston Legacy is definitely gayer than the club's original name, Bos Nation. While Bos Nation was an anagram of "Bostonian," the new name Boston Legacy is an anagram of "Bent Cool Gays."10. Angel City FCSee on InstagramAngels are pretty gay, with most depictions of them traditionally looking like twinks, muscle daddies, gorgeous femmes, or if you're into the biblically accurate type the kind of unspeakable horror that kinky queers love to put on a "hear me out" cake.9. Portland ThornsSee on InstagramFlowers have long been used as a symbol for women's sexuality, and by invoking the "thorns" of a rose, Portland promises its sexuality and womanhood comes with an edge to it. If that's not gay, we don't know what is.8. KC CurrentSee on InstagramThere's nothing more current and now than queerness. The current generation is always the queerest, and so is this team name.7. San Diego WaveSee on InstagramWho doesn't love a nice day at the beach? We know gays sure do!6. Seattle ReignSee on InstagramReign invokes both images of queens and female rulers, and a nice stormy day, two things queer women are known to love. Plus, queers can't resist a good pun!5. Utah RoyalsSee on InstagramGays love Royals! Whether it's the Lorde song, drag queens and kings, pillow princesses, the band Queen, or King Princess, we love our royalty!4. Bay FCSee on InstagramThe Bay Area has been a haven for queers for decades. All you need to do is say the area's name and immediately most people will think of gay culture.3. North Carolina CourageSee on InstagramFor better or worse, it takes a lot of courage to be gay. From fighting for our rights in the '60s and '70s to the battle for marriage equality, to the current attacks on trans youth, we've always needed plenty of courage to keep us going.2. Washington SpiritSee on InstagramOn the original Gilbert Baker Pride flag, the color violet represents "Spirit," so naturally, the Washington Spirit would be one of the gayest team names in the league.1. Orlando PrideSee on InstagramOf course, nothing is gayer than Pride! We name our month after it, it's the flag we wave around, it's what we have in spades. Plus, with those gorgeous purple kits, the Orlando Pride is about as gay as a sports team name can get.

(AP Photo/Kayla Wolf)2025-04-01T05:00:25Z MADISON, Wis. (AP) Wisconsin voters decided Tuesday to enshrine a voter ID law in the state constitution. The state was also electing its top education official, who will guide policies affecting K-12 schools during President Donald Trumps second term, will be elected Tuesday in a race between the teachers union-backed incumbent and a Republican-supported critic.Both contests had sharp partisan divisions, though they have drawn far less spending and national attention than the race for control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Polls closed at 8 p.m. CDT.Heres a look at the two contests: Longtime voter ID law enshrined in the state constitution Wisconsins photo ID requirement for voting will be elevated from state law to constitutional amendment under a proposal approved by voters.The Republican-controlled Legislature placed the measure on the ballot and pitched it as a way to bolster election security and protect the law from being overturned in court.Democratic opponents argued that photo ID requirements are often enforced unfairly, making voting more difficult for people of color, disabled people and poor people.Wisconsin voters will not notice any change when they go to the polls. They will still have to present a valid photo ID just as they have under the state law, which was passed in 2011 and went into effect permanently in 2016 after a series of unsuccessful lawsuits. Placing the photo ID requirement in the constitution makes it more difficult for a future Legislature controlled by Democrats to change the law. Any constitutional amendment must be approved in two consecutive legislative sessions and by a statewide popular vote. Wisconsin is one of nine states where people must present photo ID to vote, and its requirement is the nations strictest, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Thirty-six states have laws requiring or requesting that voters show some sort of identification, according to the NCSL. Union-backed incumbent faces GOP-backed voucher advocateThe race to lead the state Department of Public Instruction pits incumbent Jill Underly, who is backed by Democrats and the teachers union, against consultant Brittany Kinser, a supporter of the private school voucher program who is endorsed by Republicans but calls herself a moderate.Wisconsin is the only state where voters elect the top education official but there is no state board of education. That gives the superintendent broad authority to oversee education policy, from dispersing school funding to managing teacher licensing.The winner will take office at a time when test scores are still recovering from the pandemic, the achievement gap between white and Black students remains the worst in the country and more schools are asking voters to raise property taxes to pay for operations.Underlys education career began in 1999 as a high school social studies teacher in Indiana. She moved to Wisconsin in 2005 and worked for five years at the state education department. She also was principal of Pecatonica Elementary School for a year before becoming district administrator.Underly, 47, was elected state superintendent in 2021 and was endorsed by the union, the Wisconsin Education Association Council, as well as the Wisconsin Democratic Party and numerous Democratic officeholders. Kinser, whose backers include the Wisconsin Republican Party and former Republican Govs. Tommy Thompson and Scott Walker, is vying to become the first GOP-affiliated person to hold the superintendent position in more than 30 years. She worked for almost 10 years as a special education teacher and instructional coach in Chicago Public Schools. After that she spent 15 years at public charter schools in Chicago, California and Milwaukee.In the Milwaukee area, Kinser worked for Rocketship schools, part of a national network of public charter institutions, and became its executive director for the region.In 2022 she left Rocketship for City Forward Collective, a Milwaukee nonprofit that advocates for charter and voucher schools. She also founded a consulting firm where she currently works. Kinser, 47, tried to brand Underly as being a poor manager of the Department of Public Instruction and keyed in on her overhaul of state achievement standards last year. Underly said that was done to better reflect what students are learning now, but the change was met with bipartisan opposition including from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, who was previously state superintendent himself. Evers has not made an endorsement in the race.Kinser said the new standards lowered the bar for students and made it more difficult to evaluate how schools and districts are performing over time. Underly portrayed Kinser as nothing more than a lobbyist who doesnt care about public education. Kinser supports the states private school voucher and charter school program, which Democrats and Underly oppose on the grounds that such programs siphon needed money away from public schools.

Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford waves during her election night party after winning the election Tuesday, April 1, 2025, in Madison, Wis. (AP Photo/Kayla Wolf)2025-04-01T05:01:11Z MADISON, Wis. (AP) The Democratic-backed candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court defeated a challenger endorsed by President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk on Tuesday, touting her victory as a win against the richest man in the world and cementing a liberal majority for at least three more years.Susan Crawford, a Dane County judge who led legal fights to protect union power and abortion rights and to oppose voter ID, stood on stage surrounded by the courts four current liberal justices and celebrated her win as a victory for democracy.Musk and groups he backed had spent more than $21 million in an effort to defeat Crawford. Musk even traveled to Wisconsin two days before the election to personally hand over $1 million checks to two voters.Today Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy, our fair elections and our Supreme Court, Crawford said in her victory speech. And Wisconsin stood up and said loudly that justice does not have a price, our courts are not for sale.Crawford defeated Republican-backed Brad Schimel in a race that broke records for spending, was the highest-turnout Wisconsin Supreme Court election ever and became a proxy fight for the nations political battles. Growing up in Chippewa Falls, I never could have imagined that I would be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin, Crawford said, referring to Musk. And we won.Musk was silent on his X platform in the wake of Crawfords victory, reposting a message about Vietnam and tariffs but nothing on the Supreme Court contest.Trump, Musk and other Republicans lined up behind Schimel, a former state attorney general. Democrats including former President Barack Obama and billionaire megadonor George Soros backed Crawford.The first major election in the country since November was seen as a litmus test of how voters feel about Trumps first months back in office and the role played by Musk, whose Department of Government Efficiency has torn through federal agencies and laid off thousands of workers. Musk traveled to Wisconsin on Sunday to make a pitch for Schimel and personally hand out to $1 million checks to voters.Turnout surpassed the previous record for a court race, set in 2023, and spending was on its way to pass $100 million, which would double the 2023 record.Schimel told his supporters he had conceded to Crawford, leading to yells of anger. One woman began to chant, Cheater, cheater!No, Schimel said. Youve got to accept the results.A state race with nationwide significanceThe court can decide election-related laws and settle disputes over future election outcomes.Wisconsins a big state politically, and the Supreme Court has a lot to do with elections in Wisconsin, Trump said Monday. Winning Wisconsins a big deal, so therefore the Supreme Court choice its a big race.Crawford embraced the backing of Planned Parenthood and other abortion rights advocates, running ads that highlighted Schimels opposition to the procedure. She also attacked Schimel for his ties to Musk and Republicans, referring to Musk as Elon Schimel during a debate.Schimels campaign tried to portray Crawford as weak on crime and puppet of Democrats who, if elected, would push to redraw congressional district boundary lines to hurt Republicans and repeal a GOP-backed state law that took collective bargaining rights away from most public workers.Voters in Eau Claire seemed to respond to both messages. Jim Seeger, a 68-year-old retiree, said he voted for Schimel because he was concerned about redistricting.Jim Hazelton, a 68-year-old disabled veteran, said he had planned to abstain but voted for Crawford after Musk whom he called a pushy billionaire and Trump got involved.Hes cutting everything, Hazelton said of Musk. People need these things hes cutting.Whats on the courts agenda?Crawfords win keeps the court under a 4-3 liberal majority, as it has been since 2023. A liberal justice is not up for election again until April 2028, ensuring liberals will either maintain or increase their hold on the court until then.Crawford thanked each of the current liberal justices and hugged each of them after her win. One of the four is retiring, creating the open seat she won.The court likely will be deciding cases on abortion, public sector unions, voting rules and congressional district boundaries. Who controls the court also could factor into how it might rule on any future voting challenge in the perennial presidential battleground state, which raised the stakes of the race for national Republicans and Democrats.Donald Trump Jr., the presidents eldest son, campaigned for Schimel in the closing weeks and said electing him was essential to protecting the Republican agenda. Trump endorsed Schimel just 11 days before the election.Last year the court declined to take up a Democratic-backed challenge to congressional lines, but Schimel and Musk have said that if Crawford won, the court would redraw congressional districts to make them more favorable to Democrats.Musk pushed that message on election day, both on TV and on X, urging people to cast ballots in the final hours.Schimel, who leaned into his Trump endorsement in the closing days of the race, said he would not be beholden to the president or Musk.Crawford benefitted from campaign stops by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the vice presidential nominee last year, and money from billionaire megadonors including Soros and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.Record-breaking donationsThe contest was the most expensive court race on record in the U.S., with spending nearing $99 million, according to a tally by the Brennan Center for Justice. That broke the previous record of $51 million record, for the states Supreme Court race in 2023.Musk contributed $3 million to the campaign, while groups he funded poured in another $18 million. Musk also gave $1 million each to three voters who signed a petition he circulated against activist judges. Schimel leaned into his support from Trump while saying he would not be beholden to the president or Musk. Democrats have centered their messaging on the spending by Musk-funded groups.Ultimately I think its going to help Susan Crawford, because people do not want to see Elon Musk buying election after election after election, Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler said Monday. If it works here, hes going to do it all over the country.Voters weigh in on Musk and reasons for whom they backedAt a polling place in Waunakee near Madison, 39-year-old Iraq War veteran Taylor Sullivan said he voted for Schimel for no reasons connected to Trump or Musk, but rather because I support the police as much as Schimel does.In Milwaukee, 22-year-old college student Kenneth Gifford said he feels that Trump has done damage to American institutions and that Musk is trying to buy votes.I want an actual, respectable democracy, he said.___Associated Press writers Christine Fernando in Pewaukee, Wisconsin; Ali Swenson in New York; Christina A.
