President Trump said he would consider temporarily withdrawing Todd Blanche's attorney general nomination rather than bow to two Republican senators blocking the confirmation, a standoff that now threatens to drag past the August recess. Trump posted on Truth Social Thursday that he has "no objection" to shelving Blanche's name and resubmitting it once Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina are out of office. Both senators' current terms expire in January 2027. The move would leave Blanche, already serving as acting attorney general, in that role indefinitely while the White House waits out two members of its own party. The Senate Judiciary Committee had been set to vote Thursday on advancing Blanche's nomination.…Open

But officials have not released the results publicly, and the Jackson County District Attorney's office says the full case, including the autopsy report, will go before a grand jury once investigators wrap up their work. That means the central question in this case, what…Open

An avalanche on Pakistan's Broad Peak has left at least four climbers dead and six others missing from a 10-person international expedition, and bad weather is slowing the desperate search for survivors. Pakistani rescue teams located four bodies on the mountain Friday after an avalanche struck the expedition during a summit attempt on Broad Peak, the world's 12th-highest peak at 8,047 meters in the Karakoram range. The expedition was led by Nirmal Purja, the renowned British-Nepali mountaineer known as "Nims Dai," who gained worldwide fame after climbing all 14 of the world's peaks above 8,000 meters in a record 189 days in 2019. That feat was chronicled in the Netflix documentary "14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible." Three of the four…Open

Malicious cyber activity forced water utilities in at least seven states to switch to manual operations this week, and federal investigators are now examining whether Iran is behind the breach, even as President Trump publicly disputes that theory.

More than 30 community water systems in Minnesota alone lost remote monitoring and control capability after attackers compromised programmable logic controllers, the small computers that automate pumps, valves, and chemical treatment at…Open
