'An act of horrific violence' in Seattle 💔
|
Police in Seattle are searching for a second shooter who opened fire during a food festival on Sunday, killing three people and injuring at least four others ‒ including a 2-year-old boy. The gunfire, police said, erupted when at least two people began shooting at each other in what the city's mayor called "an act of horrific violence," one that sent families running for cover.

Trump tries (again) to save the SAVE Act 🗳️
|
President Trump took to social media to urge the Senate to remain in session, deferring their summer recess, so that lawmakers can pass the SAVE Act. The long-stalled legislation would require proof of citizenship and voter ID for federal elections and dramatically scale back mail-in voting ahead of the midterms.
|
The Senate is scheduled to go on recess Aug. 7 and return to Washington on Sept. 14, but with all Democrats opposed to it and four Republicans siding with them, it's unlikely to pass.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum inducted its Class of 2026 this weekend, and Jeff Kent, Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones, writes columnist Bob Nightengale, are "an old-school reminder to the way baseball used to be played, the way we looked at the game, and the stats that shaped our opinions."
