Man charged with arson as wildfires burn
|
Three major wildfires continued to burn more than 10,000 acres in Washington state Tuesday, putting 65,000 people under evacuation orders. On Monday, officials announced the arrest of 37-year-old Aaron F. Farinacci of Spokane on a charge of first-degree arson related to one of the blazes, the Old Trails Fire. Spokane County Sheriff John Nowels said the causes of the other fires remain under investigation.

Five states are holding primary elections on Tuesday: Michigan, Missouri, Kansas, Virginia and Washington. Perhaps the most closely watched race is in Michigan, where Democrats Abdul El-Sayed and Rep. Haley Stevens are vying for a seat that could determine control of the Senate. And in Missouri, former Democratic Rep. Cori Bush is looking to make a comeback in a rematch against Rep. Wesley Bell, who defeated her for the seat in 2024. Get the latest updates and results here.

Park Service says Trump's massive arch could alter iconic DC views
|
The National Park Service believes Trump's proposed 250-foot-tall arch in the Washington, DC, area could have a disruptive effect on dozens of other historic sites . The arch, which would tower over the nearby Lincoln Memorial, is set to be built on Memorial Circle in Arlington, Virginia – just blocks away from the National Mall. Trump announced plans last year to build the arch as part of the country's 250th birthday celebrations, but the towering structure has faced opposition from some critics.
