Five adults drowned one after another in the Scioto River in Powell, Ohio, after jumping in to save a struggling swimmer, leaving their young children stranded on the bank, screaming for help no one could give in time. The chain of deaths began around 9 p.m. on a Sunday evening when one member of a group of friends waded into the river and started fighting the current. Two others rushed in to help. When they, too, went under, the final two adults entered the water. None of the five made it back to shore. On the nearby bank, children who had come with the group watched it all happen. One child ran along a road in a panic until a passing motorist spotted the boy and called 911. Emergency radio traffic captured the scale of the disaster in…Open

Republican lawmakers say they have almost no details about the party's unprecedented midterm convention scheduled for September in Dallas, even as organizers sell VIP packages topping $250,000 and pitch the event as a turning point for the 2026 elections. The two-day gathering, set for September 9 and 10 at American Airlines Center, is supposed to rally the Republican base ahead of November's midterm contests. President Trump himself announced the event in late June, calling it "a truly Historic Event" that has "never been done before." But with roughly six weeks to go, GOP senators who spoke to the Daily Mail offered a striking range of responses, from vague enthusiasm to outright bewilderment. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, whose home state…Open

Missouri's Republican attorney general filed a federal lawsuit alleging Kansas City's minority business contracting program discriminates against white people and men, and the city's Democratic mayor fired back, calling it a "political stunt." Attorney General Catherine Hanaway brought the suit this week on behalf of a Kansas City salvage company and its owner, claiming the city's Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise program violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The program, which has existed in some form for more than three decades, sets goals for how much contracting money flows to businesses owned by minorities and women. Hanaway wants a federal judge to permanently bar the city from considering race…Open

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez faced sharp pushback from Republican lawmakers and a Trump administration official after claiming the House defense bill would fuse American and Israeli military forces, a characterization multiple officials called flatly dishonest.

The House passed the sweeping defense bill on a 219, 206 vote with the contested provision, Section 219, intact, Fox News Digital reported…Open

The ACLU has jumped into a federal lawsuit over biological males in girls' restrooms at a rural Wisconsin school district, filing a friend-of-the-court brief that dismisses the Supreme Court's recent ruling against males in girls' sports as irrelevant.

A Chicago plumbing contractor that helped build the Obama Presidential Center has closed its doors and laid off 25 union workers after racking up nearly $4 million in losses on the project, and the Obama Foundation says the construction manager, not the foundation, handles payments. Mike Owen spent months trying to resolve the money quietly. He negotiated with Lakeside Alliance, the joint venture managing construction at the center in Jackson Park on Chicago's South Side. When those talks went nowhere, he went public. When a promised $100,000 payment failed to arrive before the center's grand opening on June 19, he pulled the plug. On June 25, Owen suspended operations at Adamson Plumbing Contractors, sent home 25 union workers, walked…Open

ESPN's highest-paid personality publicly backed the network's decision to cut staff, including his own colleague Ryan Clark, calling the era of endless hiring "long gone" even as he admitted the move stung.
