Quick look at Tuesday's news: |
At least 104 dead as hard-hit areas in Texas face new flooding risks |
Potent, slow-moving storms over central Texas have begun to trigger flooding in areas already hard-hit by the state. Forecasters with the National Weather Service extended some riverside flood watches and warnings, with some advisories lasting through Thursday. |
| • | Nearly a decade before this catastrophic flooding, the state's Division of Emergency Management denied requests for a $1 million grant to improve Kerr County's flood warning system. | | • | What we know about the victims: Camp directors. Sisters. Teachers. Grandparents. More than 100 people died in flooding in central Texas. Here are stories of those who lost their lives. | | • | Stories from survivors: With little warning from forecasters, some residents said they were alerted to the danger by panicked screaming and the sounds of the storm in the early morning hours of the holiday weekend. | | Search and rescue workers paddle a boat in the Guadalupe River in the aftermath of deadly flooding in Kerr County, Texas, on Monday.

LA mayor calls out federal agent presence in MacArthur Park |
'Franky, it is outrageous and un-American that we have federal armed vehicles in our parks when nothing is going on in our parks.' |
~ Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is condemning federal agents and National Guard troops for descending on a city park on Monday. Armored vehicles, mounted officers and armed troops briefly swarmed the city's MacArthur Park Monday morning before leaving. Bass said 20 children were playing before the troops surged through and shared footage of federal officers running through the park. |
Are tariff rates going up? |
President Donald Trump in April announced a baseline 10% tariff, as well as targeted tariffs, on dozens of countries. After stocks tanked and the bond market rebelled, Trump reversed course and said he would pause the sweeping tariffs for 90 days, giving countries until July 9 to negotiate rates. The flat 10% rate remained in effect. But the July 9 goalpost has been pushed back — with new tariff rates set to kick in on Aug. 1. So far, the Trump administration has announced two trade deals, with Vietnam and the United Kingdom. Because U.S. businesses that import will be paying Trump's tariffs, economists have warned that U.S. consumers will likely see higher prices as companies pass along those higher rates to customers. |
