A famous rock formation in Utah has crumbled and tumbled. Kamala Harris is suddenly right on Donald Trump's heels in the Sunshine State. And Tropical Storm Ernesto is out there, and growing stronger. |
👋Hey, Tuesday! Laura Davis here. Ready for the news? It's ready for you. Let's get to it. |
💚 But first: It's been a blast, but brat summer is coming to an end. Get ready for the newest TikTok trend: Demure fall. |
Utah's Double Arch collapses |
One of Utah's natural wonders will never be the same. Double Arch, a frequently visited geologic feature in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, gave way to the elements last week, the National Park Service said. No one was injured as a result of the fine-grained sand feature's collapse. |
A good reminder: Glen Canyon Superintendent Michelle Kerns pointed out that the collapse should serve as a reminder of the responsibility and need to protect the mineral resources in the area. 🌄 What we know about the collapse. | The "Double Arch" at Glen Canyon's National Recreation Area on Friday, a day after its collapse.

Could Florida swing blue? |
Kamala Harris is proving to be competition for Donald Trump in his home state of Florida – and if a new presidential survey is any indication, the red wave that washed over Florida in recent years might not be as large as it once seemed. |
By the numbers: Harris is within "striking distance" of Trump in Florida, says a USA TODAY/Suffolk University/WSVN-TV survey of 500 likely voters released Tuesday. Trump leads Harris by 5 percentage points in the survey, but it's closer than recent polls, and within the poll's margin of error – another sign of the nationwide enthusiasm Harris has generated within the Democratic Party since she entered the race. 🗳️ See more from the survey. |
Now, can you ... go away? Tropical Storm Ernesto formed Monday and continued strengthening on Tuesday, unleashing heavy rain and moving swiftly over the Caribbean islands with Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands in its path. |
Growing stronger: As Ernesto moves over the warm waters of the Caribbean, it is expected to become a hurricane by early Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center said. As of Tuesday afternoon, Ernesto had sustained winds of up to 60 mph as it barreled toward the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico at 18 mph. 🌀 Tracking the storm. | A satellite image shows Tropical Storm Ernesto, which is forecast to reach hurricane strength this week.

It's a growing trend – and one that's worrisome for churches: More young women are eschewing religion, dismayed by the subservient role of women. While Americans have been disaffiliating from organized religion over the past few decades, the rate of women's departure has overtaken those of men. So, what's behind the trend? |
In her words: "Women are less inclined to be involved with churches that don't want us speaking up, that don't want us to be smart," said Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez, whose father was a pastor and who was taught by their fundamentalist evangelical faith that a woman's role was to serve her husband. "We're like the mules of the church – that's what it feels like." 🔎 We break it down. | | | | Rep.
