Florida is ready to execute 2 inmates on the same day, first time in the US in nearly a decade
SUMMARY: Florida is set to put two inmates to death hours apart, marking the first time since 2017 that a state has scheduled two executions in a single day. Former police officer James Aren Duckett is set to receive a lethal injection at noon Tuesday for the 1987 rape and murder of a young girl. Six hours later, 80-year-old Dominick Anthony Occhicone is scheduled to become the oldest inmate executed in Florida’s modern history and the second-oldest in the U.S. He was convicted of a double murder. Florida has carried out 10 executions so far this year, more than all other states combined.

Lindsay Clancy goes on trial over whether postpartum psychosis drove her to kill her 3 children
SUMMARY: A Massachusetts woman is on trial in a case where her lawyers argue that postpartum psychosis was the reason she killed her three children, aged 5 and younger. Opening statements in Lindsay Clancy's trial began Monday. Jurors are expected to hear evidence for weeks, including dueling views about her culpability and mental state. Clancy has pleaded not guilty and her attorney has laid out an insanity defense. Prosecutors argue she strangled Cora, Dawson, and Callan in well-planned murders in January 2023. At the time, she had been getting psychiatric care for about four months.

Savannah Guthrie makes an emotional plea to her mother's kidnappers
SUMMARY: Savannah Guthrie says her family is living a nightmare nearly six months after her mother's disappearance. In a video released Monday, she pleads with her mother's kidnappers to reveal her location. Eighty-four-year-old Nancy Guthrie vanished from her home near Tucson, Arizona, on February 1. Authorities believe she was taken against her will. Blood was found near her doorstep, and surveillance footage showed a masked man on her porch. The FBI is evaluating ransom notes, some of which have been dismissed as extortion attempts. Savannah Guthrie has offered a $1 million reward for information leading to her mother's recovery.

Tate brothers will remain in jail at least 2 more weeks as they fight extradition to the UK
SUMMARY: Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate will remain in jail at least two more weeks until their next hearing. The brothers are fighting extradition to the United Kingdom where they are accused of rape and sex trafficking. U.S. Magistrate Lauren Louis on Monday set a detention hearing for Aug. 13 to determine whether the Tates should stay in jail or be released as they fight extradition. The Tates weren’t in court Monday or required to be there. They’ve have remained in jail since making a brief court appearance two days after their July 18 arrest. The brothers have consistently denied allegations of abuse and human trafficking.

Georgia school shooter had a chaotic childhood and was fixated on mass killings, psychologist says
SUMMARY: A psychologist has testified that a teenager who killed two students and two teachers in a shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia had a chaotic, lonely upbringing. Sixteen-year-old Colt Gray pleaded guilty Friday to 55 counts, including murder, for the September 2024 shooting. The psychologist said Monday that Gray immersed himself in an online community fascinated by mass shootings. He was particularly interested in the 2018 massacre at Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Murder carries a minimum penalty of life in prison, but the judge will decide if Gray will have the possibility of parole.

US-Canada bridge opens in Detroit even as trade disputes test the neighbors' ties
SUMMARY: Traffic is flowing across a new bridge over the Detroit River that will serve as a critical route for trade and tourism between Canada and the U.S. The bridge is named for Gordie Howe, a native of Canada who famously played hockey for the Detroit Red Wings. Howe's descendants were among the first to drive across Monday. Canada last week celebrated the bridge with a ceremony in Windsor, Ontario. U.S. and Michigan representatives were uninvited after President Donald Trump announced 50% tariffs on Canadian goods entering America. The first trucker to Detroit calls the bridge a “beautiful piece of architecture.”

Senate expected to confirm Jay Clayton as next intelligence director
SUMMARY: The Senate is set to confirm Jay Clayton to become head of the nation’s intelligence agencies, ensuring that a permanent director is in place as the midterm elections approach. Clayton is expected to be confirmed along party lines on Tuesday after a contentious hearing two weeks ago in which he repeatedly refused to say that former President Joe Biden won the 2020 election. Still, Democrats have said they have more confidence in Clayton than they do in Trump’s temporary pick for the job, Bill Pulte, who has no known intelligence experience and investigated the president’s perceived enemies in his previous post as a federal housing regulator.

Wisconsin voters begin casting ballots at the polls in chaotic Democratic governor's race
SUMMARY: Early in-person voting is beginning in swing state Wisconsin’s chaotic Democratic primary for governor, with a democratic socialist trying to overcome the incumbent governor’s pick. Democrats are hoping to retain control of the governor’s office and flip both chambers of the Legislature to earn full control of Wisconsin state government for the first time since 2010. But they have failed to coalesce around one candidate in the tumultuous primary for governor. Voters began casting ballots in person Tuesday ahead of the Aug. 11 primary. The Democratic candidates were meeting for their only debate Tuesday night.

Joe Biden interviews with memoir ghostwriter reveal him discussing sensitive information
SUMMARY: Newly released audio tapes appear to show Joe Biden sharing classified information with a biographer and sometimes claiming memory lapses during interviews that occurred before his election to the presidency in 2020. About three hours of audio and 117 pages of transcripts were released by the conservative Oversight Project, an arm of the Heritage Foundation. The audio and transcript feature frequent redactions. The conversations were released after Biden lost a prolonged legal fight to keep his talks with memoir ghostwriter Mark Lewis Zwonitzer private. In the sessions, Biden discusses a range of matters, shares notes from his vice presidency and appears to confirm to Zwonitzer that he retained some classified material.

Lindsey Graham eulogized as an 'American original' at services drawing world leaders in Washington
SUMMARY: Sen. Lindsey Graham is being eulogized in Washington. Graham’s flag-draped casket arrived Tuesday at the U.S. Capitol, where the Republican served for more than 30 years as an indefatigable dealmaker. Vice President JD Vance calls Graham a “swashbuckling” character and a “true American original.” Senate Majority Leader John Thune says Graham was “a towering figure.” A funeral will be held later at Washington National Cathedral. President Donald Trump is expected to deliver remarks at the cathedral ceremony. Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy plan to attend. It’s the start of two days of services for Graham, with burial Wednesday in his home state of South Carolina. He died July 11 at age 71.

US looks to boost anti-China spending worldwide by hundreds of millions, documents say
SUMMARY: The Trump administration is preparing to ramp up funding by hundreds of millions of dollars for programs designed to counter China’s growing influence worldwide. It comes after having put a halt to many of those initiatives last year during a flurry of budget and personnel cuts. The administration notified Congress late last week that it intends to spend $175.8 million to replace outdated and aging undersea telecommunications cables in the Caribbean and Central America to prevent China from moving in. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the notification Monday. The funding appears to be part of a broader push to restore support for initiatives aimed at blunting Chinese influence globally that would cost hundreds of millions of dollars more.

Trump administration urges Supreme Court to allow order targeting mail-in voting before midterms
SUMMARY: The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to allow for now an executive order targeting mail-in voting. This request follows an appeals court decision that blocked the order in nearly half the country. Trump's order, issued in March, directs the creation of a federal list of eligible voters for mail ballots. Democratic officials from 23 states and the District of Columbia sued, arguing that election rules are set by states and Congress, not the president. A Massachusetts judge blocked the order for those states, and an appeals court left that ruling in place. The Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to allow the proposed changes to move ahead while lawsuits play out.

Trump defends his sweeping tariffs and watches 'America First' drag races during Michigan stop
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump says his economic policies have revived the auto industry and American manufacturing. His comments in the Detroit suburb of Milford on Monday came as many businesses there contend that sweeping tariffs he's imposed against Canada and the rest of the world have hurt Michigan. The Republican president watched General Motors vehicles compete in drag races and looked at other vehicles at a GM facility before he delivered a speech. His tariffs have affected many businesses in Michigan, where the economy relies heavily on trade with Canada.

Comey says seashells post was political speech - not a threat - as he presses to dismiss charges
SUMMARY: Former FBI Director James Comey is urging a judge to throw out federal charges against him. He's arguing that a photo of seashells arranged on a beach he posted on social media was not a call to violence against President Donald Trump but protected political speech. Comey’s lawyers argue the government cannot prove the Instagram photo of seashells in the numerical arrangement of “86 47” constituted a “true threat” against the Republican president, who fired Comey in 2017 and has publicly called for his prosecution. The seashells case against Comey was the second in months targeting the ex-FBI director, a long-running Trump foe.

Republicans decry a new Democratic Socialists of America platform as Dem primaries split the party
SUMMARY: A new platform from the progressive Democratic Socialists of America is sparking Republican attacks. The DSA's Workers Deserve More program proposes sweeping changes, like abolishing the Senate and allowing all permanent U.S. residents to vote. Republicans including House Speaker Mike Johnson are framing these ideas as communist threats. The DSA platform has created an opening for Republicans to attack Democrats broadly. Meanwhile, DSA-backed candidates have gained traction in recent Democratic primaries, challenging moderates, even as some try to distance themselves from the “socialism” label. Some establishment Democrats have forcefully pushed back against the DSA-backed candidates' efforts, saying they shouldn't run under the Democratic Party banner.

Trump demands Senate cancel August break until it passes voting bill
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump is calling on Senate Majority Leader John Thune to keep senators in Washington until they pass a strict proof-of-citizenship voting bill. The legislation known as the SAVE America Act has become a priority for Trump even as it's been clear it doesn't have enough support to pass. Thune has repeatedly tried to move on from the issue with the Senate having a full legislative calendar already. But a small but vocal group of Republicans have joined Trump's call. Utah Sen. Mike Lee escalated his pressure last week saying it could affect leadership support after November.

France orders 4,000 more evacuated as fires displace a third of a million across southwest Europe
SUMMARY: French authorities have ordered nearly 4,000 more people to evacuate from Atlantic coast tourist sites because of wildfires. The orders issued Tuesday are widening what may be France’s largest peacetime evacuation. Meanwhile, the return of hot weather heat threatened firefighters’ fragile hold on a vast wildfire west of Bordeaux. Fire crews held the blaze in the Gironde region in check through a calm night, bringing flare-ups near coastal dunes under control and keeping the burned area unchanged at 420 square kilometers (162 square miles). Authorities called the fire stabilized, but not contained, and said it was still capable of breaking loose as temperatures rose and humidity fell.

Trump and Netanyahu meet for the first time since launching the Iran war
SUMMARY: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump have met at the White House. The sitdown Tuesday was the first since they launched a joint war against Iran, and it offered a chance for Netanyahu to smooth out strains in their relationship. The closed-door meeting lasted nearly an hour and a half. The White House said it was “positive and productive." Both leaders face growing pressures at home. Netanyahu is up for reelection and is embattled in part because of his deteriorating relationship with the president. Trump is under pressure to end an unpopular war that has wreaked economic havoc ahead of U.S. elections in November.

SUMMARY: President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have met to discuss Ukraine producing its own weapons amid its ongoing war with Russia. Zelenskyy calls it a “good meeting.” Tuesday's White House sit-down followed a NATO summit in Turkey, where Trump announced the U.S. will allow Ukraine to make Patriot defense systems. Zelenskyy thanks Trump for the support and emphasizes the importance of diplomacy. The meeting coincides with Zelenskyy's visit to Washington to honor Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, whose funeral is Tuesday. Graham was a strong supporter of Ukraine. Zelenskyy also warned about Russia aiding Iran, though Trump downplayed its impact. Zelenskyy plans to meet with senators after Graham’s funeral.

SUMMARY: Mediators have made progress in efforts to bring the United States and Iran back to negotiations and prevent an all-out war in the Middle East.

Americans' confidence in US economy falls as Iran conflict sends gas prices higher
SUMMARY: Americans’ confidence in the economy fell this month as gas prices resumed their climb after the U.S. and Iran stepped up their fighting.

What to know about postpartum psychosis, which can affect a new mom's sense of reality
SUMMARY: A key question in a Massachusetts murder trial is whether postpartum psychosis drove a mother to kill her three children. Postpartum psychosis is a rare and dangerous condition estimated to afflict 1 to 2 per 1,000 women after delivery. Medical experts describe it as a mental health emergency affecting someone’s sense of reality. Symptoms may include hallucinations, delusions, paranoia or other behavior changes. A woman may also have mood changes, such as mania or depression, disorganized thinking or behavior, insomnia, irritability or agitation. The condition is treatable, but experts say it is best to get treatment early.

Judge rules singer D4vd must stand trial in killing of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez
SUMMARY: A judge has ruled there’s enough evidence to send singer D4vd to trial for the killing of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The Los Angeles judge on Monday decided the evidence presented during a preliminary hearing provided probable cause for charges of murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child, and unlawful mutilation of human remains. D4vd, whose legal name is David Burke, has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors allege Burke met Rivas Hernandez when she was 11 and began abusing her at 13. They claim he killed her when she threatened to report him. Burke’s music career was rising before these allegations emerged.
