The depositions, from 2019 and 2022, stem from a lawsuit involving Unity Resources, a mineral assets firm where Paxton once served as a lawyer, board member, and investor. Though Paxton was not a defendant, his testimony has drawn scrutiny for raising "substantial ethical questions," according to Talarico's campaign.

The case centered on allegations of securities fraud between North Texas businessman Charles Loper III and investors Byron Cook and Joel Hochberg. Loper accused the investors of a fraudulent scheme, while Cook and Hochberg countered by accusing Loper and Paxton of conspiring to damage their reputations as witnesses in a separate criminal case against Paxton.

The warning follows a 2013 incident in which gunmen disabled 17 large transformers at a Pacific Gas and Electric substation near San Jose, California, in less than 20 minutes. Although power was rerouted to prevent a blackout, the attack revealed weaknesses in the grid’s infrastructure, which could lead to catastrophic outages if repeated on a larger scale.

Replacing damaged high-voltage transformers is a major challenge, with lead times for manufacturing and installation ranging from two to over four years under normal conditions. Some reports indicate waits up to 41 years for specialized equipment, exacerbated by limited manufacturers and supply chain constraints.

U.S. District Judge Michael W Fitzgerald opened the session with a moment of silence for country music legend Dolly Parton. FBI Special Agent Jarron Farmby resumed testimony, revealing that Jason Smith commonly booked flights for Only the Family (OTF) members, a fact prosecutors emphasize in their case against Banks.

Farmby presented an Instagram post by Dayvon Bennett (King Von), stating, "If Smurk want a [dude] dead then that [dude] dead." Banks' attorney questioned if this meant Banks supported Bennett’s career, to which Farmby affirmed.

The survey of 1,200 registered voters, conducted August 5 to 13, shows Talarico with 42 percent support to Paxton's 39 percent, placing the contest within the survey's 2.83 percentage point margin of error. Libertarian candidate Ted Brown drew 3 percent, while 14 percent of respondents expressed no preference.

Partisan consolidation drives the tight margin. Talarico secures 91 percent of Democratic voters, whereas 79 percent of Republicans back Paxton. Independent voters favor Talarico 37 percent to 11 percent, though 43 percent remain undecided. Democratic voters also report higher voting enthusiasm, with 50 percent describing themselves as extremely enthusiastic compared to 39 percent of Republicans.

Despite Oswego County being a conservative stronghold where Trump secured 62 percent of the vote in 2024, local leaders rejected the proposal, emphasizing the historical, economic, and tourism ties shared with neighboring Canadian partners.

Oswego Mayor Rob Corradino noted that existing trade disputes and tariffs have already depressed Canadian tourism, causing visits to New York state to fall by 25 percent last year according to state records.

The trade negotiations broke down on August 22, triggering 50 percent tariffs on approximately 5 percent of Canadian products entering the United States, including goods such as dairy, wine, cement, and hockey sticks. The trade dispute escalated further when the White House published a promotional graphic on social media displaying an altered map of North America.

The administration's social media graphic, which featured a map composed of digital toy blocks, relabeled the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America and Lake Ontario as Lake America. However, the published graphic contained numerous cartographic errors, including misplaced state borders and placing Washington, D.C., along the coastline between Virginia and North Carolina instead of between Maryland and Virginia.

Chinese state media reported three fatalities and another 265 people missing in Tibet after a mudslide buried the border hub of Gyirong County, prompting the dispatch of emergency workers, speed boats, and sniffer dogs.

Surveillance video from the Chinese border side captured a wall of mud and debris crashing over a multi-story building, sweeping away parked buses and cars while dozens of people fled the surging waters. The Nepal tourism ministry stated that at least 403 tourists were unaccounted for following the deluge, including 341 foreign citizens from India, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada, South Korea, and other nations.

We The Hoosiers announced it has joined Concerned Scientists at Indiana University Bloomington in demanding Steele's ouster. Steele made a post on X on Aug. 10 asking for permission to waterboard Fauci while hanging him upside down by his toes.

Concerned Scientists at IUB initially submitted a letter to IU's Chief Compliance Officer and Gov. Mike Braun, arguing that Steele breached the university's Principles of Ethical Conduct. The group, which comprises over 1,000 faculty members, staff, students, and community residents, emphasized that the conduct policy explicitly applies to the Board of Trustees.

Attorneys representing Chauvin filed the motion on August 18, 2026, seeking to return the case to the local trial court. The defense argues that procedural violations occurred when Governor Tim Walz assigned Attorney General Keith Ellison to lead the prosecution.

The defense team asserts that this transfer of authority, along with the lack of a grand jury proceeding, created non-waivable structural errors that deprived Chauvin of due process during his original trial.

Authorities identified the missing child as Leonardo Paco De La Rosa, described as a 1-year-old white male. Details regarding his clothing at the time of his disappearance were not available.

The Daily Beast reported CBS News was asked for comment.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled 2-1 that McIver’s actions during an unannounced visit to Delaney Hall were non-legislative. McIver faces up to 17 years in prison on charges including assaulting, impeding, and interfering with federal officers during the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, whose charges were later dropped.

Judges Cindy Chung and Stephanos Bibas noted that McIver’s alleged intervention in the mayor's arrest had no connection to legislative functions protected by the Speech and Debate Clause. The panel allowed two counts of physical contact with officers to move toward trial while remanding a broader third count to a lower court for further fact-finding.

Air Force Lt. Col. Michael Schrama established the timeline by rejecting a request from prosecution attorneys to initiate proceedings in January 2027. Defense attorneys deemed the proposed 2027 start date unrealistic, leading the judge to set the trial roughly 18 months later.

While environmental conditions remain somewhat favorable over the next 48 hours, adverse conditions including dry air and wind shear are expected to limit further development by the weekend. If the system strengthens past a depression, it will become Tropical Storm Dolly, the fourth named storm of the 2026 Atlantic season.

Meteorologists noted that the system's name bears no relation to country music singer Dolly Parton, who died on August 25. The World Meteorological Organization selects Atlantic storm names on a six-year rotational cycle, with Dolly having replaced the name Diana after it was retired in 1990 following a lethal hurricane in Mexico.

Bridge officials issued a weather alert at 12:58 p.m. on Saturday temporarily closing the path due to severe thunderstorms and lightning. The closure was later extended until Sunday morning, forcing travelers to rearrange their travel plans or seek alternative transportation across the border.

Tracking data cited in an August forecast shows odds for a very strong El Nino rose from 87% for fall months to roughly 95% between October and November. The shift matters because scientists report only three super strong El Nino events since tracking began.

The same forecast also indicates National Weather Service graphs show odds jumping from roughly 75% to more than 90% around September, suggesting a potentially rainier fall and winter season for Texas. AccuWeather warns that subtropical jet stream changes could push storm systems toward the Lone Star State.

The department did not specify training details or a timeline, and said the initiative aims to help consular officers screen out applicants who fit the definition of becoming dependent on U.S. public benefits, while ensuring visa evaluations are "comprehensively and consistently".

U.S. State Department officials said the administration is also planning to revoke B1 and B2 visas tied to asylum-seeking conduct.

"People need to have a chance to have a say before they see bulldozers," said Keri Powell, a senior attorney at the Southern Environmental Law Center.

Supporters of the shift say it is meant to reduce administrative burden and speed up permitting, while environmental and public health advocates argue it weakens transparency and oversight for so-called minor pollution sources. "The administration is basically saying: 'You all may have thought this was an ironclad promise, but it no longer is,'" said Joe Goffman, a former assistant administrator for the EPA’s office of air and radiation.

Gilkar emotionally told the court, "He's our child," while accusing West of attempting to take the baby from them amid the dispute over parental rights.

West, a nurse from Alaska who traveled to Texas during the pregnancy, testified she was initially asked by the couple to terminate the pregnancy after the diagnosis but declined, believing the baby had a strong chance of survival. "I knew that this baby, despite the diagnosis, had a great chance at survival and a great chance at leading a long life," West said.

In a related development, a federal judge in New York vacated a Trump administration policy that suspended visa processing for nationals from 75 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Russia, and Somalia.

U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas ruled the policy "contrary to law and in excess of statutory authority," stating that Secretary of State Marco Rubio exceeded his authority by enforcing categorical visa refusals based on nationality. Judge Vargas emphasized that consular officers have exclusive authority and discretion to decide visa eligibility, and the policy undermined this statutory scheme.

Precipitation totals could reach up to 3 inches in northwest New Jersey and the lower Hudson Valley, with some areas experiencing rainfall rates of two to three inches per hour, according to forecasters reported by PIX11 and Syracuse.com.

Huffman, one of the few openly non-religious lawmakers in Congress, warned that the movement gained significant momentum after the January 6 Capitol riot and the return of former President Donald Trump to power. In his book, titled No Prophets: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism, he argued that religious extremism actively threatens science, education, and democratic norms.

Reflecting on the events of January 6, 2021, Huffman noted the prominent religious symbols displayed during the Capitol attack, including crosses, shofars, and 'Appeal to Heaven' flags, alongside public prayers offered by rioters.

Lowrey participated in a panel discussion titled "Bold Ideas, with Marc J. Dunkelman and Annie Lowrey" ahead of the book's official release on August 25 by publisher HarperCollins. The work explores the administrative hurdles, extensive paperwork, and mental friction that government agencies place on citizens trying to access public benefits.

According to research highlighted in the book, these administrative burdens disproportionately affect low-income Americans, trapping vulnerable families in cycles of disadvantage and reducing public trust in institutions. Recent federal policy shifts have begun addressing the issue, including an executive order from the Biden administration instructing agencies to reduce paperwork hurdles and minimize administrative friction.

The 84-year-old Kentucky Republican was hospitalized in Washington, D.C., after losing consciousness during a June 14 fall. McConnell later developed mild pneumonia and spent weeks in a rehabilitation facility before being discharged on August 6 to continue physical therapy at home.

McConnell's office maintains that his physical therapy is designed solely to help him regain strength and balance to prevent future falls. However, his prolonged absence from Capitol Hill led him to miss critical votes, including a war powers resolution and the confirmation of Donald Trump's personal lawyer as U.S. attorney general.

Authorities confirmed the unrelated deaths of four people reported missing on Jeju, including 37-year-old Jang Mi-ran, whose disappearance sparked national attention after police prematurely closed her case without verifying her safety. Her body was found 104 days after she vanished, on a palm tree farm near her residence.

Investigations revealed that a single police officer prematurely closed some missing-person cases, allegedly without confirming the individuals' safety. This prompted a review of all 298 cases handled by the officer, with about 10 under scrutiny for improper closure. Another victim was a man in his 60s, whose family reported him missing again after police had reportedly closed his case, falsely indicating he was safe but unwilling to disclose his location. His body was later discovered.

Air Force chief Brigadier General Gustavo Javier Valverde triggered the controversy during a Sunday interview when he described "Magallanes, the south, and the Drake" as matters of "sovereignty" and stressed the need for Argentina to maintain presence in this strategic area connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

Mica Miller, 30, was discovered with a gunshot wound to her head, and her death was ruled a suicide. The couple had ties to the Solid Rock Church in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where John-Paul was the pastor and Mica served as the worship leader and creative director.

Their marriage, which began after a scandalous affair in 2015, was reportedly troubled with multiple divorce filings and legal separations. Mica had filed for divorce in October 2023 but later dismissed it, and John-Paul filed for separation shortly after, which was also dismissed. Police reports show Mica expressed fears for her life, citing incidents of tire slashing and feeling followed.

According to the complaint, the assault occurred inside a janitor's closet after Scott and Dylan separated from faculty and a video crew during the filming of an instructional basketball video in the school gym. Scott admitted to sexual contact but asserted in court filings that he believed Dylan was an 18-year-old production crew member.

The state honor recognizes Musk's personal merits in strengthening bilateral ties with the United States. Starlink satellite connectivity has become fundamental to Ukrainian military operations, enabling battlefield communication and precise long-range drone navigation.

While Musk permitted Starlink usage within Ukrainian borders and occupied regions, he restricted the network's operation inside Russian territory. Zelenskyy has urged U.S. officials to help persuade Musk to expand coverage, aiming to support deeper strikes against Russian infrastructure.

"It looks like a glacier in the area basically snapped off in a clean break, allowing it to fall just over a vertical kilometer to the valley bottom," said Daniel Shugar, a geologist at the University of Calgary in Canada.

The force of the fall pulverized the ice and triggered a rapid surge of water and debris that coursed northwest toward the Bhotekoshi River, smashing into border settlements and sweeping away entire buildings. "The bottom looks like a bomb exploded — it’s just deposits from the broken-up glacier," said Shugar.

In Pittsburgh's Knoxville neighborhood, officers responded to reports of a shooting in the 400 block of Brownsville Road around 8:25 p.m. on Tuesday, August 25. Police initially found no victim at the scene.
