      Obama reportedly moved his speaking slot at the DNC so he could 'pass the torch' to Harris

      Former President Barack Obama knows what it's like to make history at a Democratic National Convention, and soon, so will Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.). Obama was set to give the final speech during night three of the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, but instead, he asked organizers to switch things up and give his slot to Harris, a person familiar with the matter told The Washington Post. Because as the first Black president, he wanted to "pass the torch" to Harris, who is poised to become the first Black and South Asian woman on a major party's presidential ticket.

      ‘She Has No Role’: Biden Condemns Ousted Women’s March Organizer Linda Sarsour after Her DNC Appearance

      Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden condemned the views of former Women's March co-chair Linda Sarsour, who has been repeatedly accused of anti-Semitism, after she participated in a Democratic National Convention council meeting on Tuesday. Sarsour, a Muslim activist who endorsed Biden after he announced Senator Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) as his running mate last week, spoke at the DNC's “Muslim Delegates and Allies Assembly” on Tuesday, sparking disapproval in light of her history of controversial comments on Jews and Israel. “Joe Biden has been a strong supporter of Israel and a vehement opponent of anti-Semitism his entire life, and he obviously condemns her views and opposes BDS, as does the Democratic platform,” Biden spokesman Andrew Bates said, according to CNN's Jake Tapper.

      ‘Accept her dominion over you’: Tucker Carlson rages at Michelle Obama in ‘unhinged’ Fox News rant

      In an angry monologue on his Tuesday night show, Fox News host Tucker Carlson tore into Michelle Obama for her speech to the Democratic National Convention, accusing Democrats of elevating her to the level of a religious leader. “Michelle Obama, it's fair to say, has done pretty well for herself,” Mr Carlson said. The speech that had infuriated Mr Carlson was widely received as by far the best of Monday's Democratic convention night, echoing her still-remembered address to the 2016 convention in which she debuted what has become her signature line: “When they go low, we go high.”

      Attorney for Minneapolis police officer says he'll argue George Floyd died of an overdose and a heart condition

      The public quickly reached its verdict: Minneapolis police killed George Floyd. Video seen around the world shows him on the pavement, his neck pinned beneath the knee of Officer Derek Chauvin, pleading for his life — "I can't breathe" — until his body goes limp. Chauvin was charged with murder and three other officers — Thomas Lane and Alexander Kueng, who both helped hold down Floyd, and Tou Thao, who kept onlookers at bay — were charged as accomplices.

      Flint water crisis: Michigan 'agrees to pay $600m'

      The US state of Michigan has agreed to pay a settlement of $600m to victims of the Flint water crisis, US media say. Most of the money will go to children in the city who were exposed to drinking water poisoned with lead, reports add. At least 12 people died after Flint switched its water supply to the Flint River in 2014 to save money.

      ‘He truly is an evil monster with no soul’: Victims and families face Golden State Killer ahead of sentencing

      Victims and surviving family members gave emotional testimony against the Golden State Killer ahead of his sentencing, calling him a “sick monster” and a “horrible man” who should ”go straight to hell”. A number of victims and family members appeared in a courtroom in California on Tuesday to confront serial killer Joseph DeAngelo, who pleaded guilty in June to 13 murders and more than 50 rapes between 1973 and 1986. The testimony marks the first of four days of hearings in Sacramento County Superior Court before he is formally sentenced to life in prison on Friday.

      ISS crew looks for source of small cabin air leak: NASA

      Three crew members on board the International Space Station will spend the weekend in the vessel's Russian segment while they search for the source of a cabin air leak, NASA and Russian space agency Roscosmos said on Thursday. "In September 2019, NASA and its international partners first saw indications of a slight increase above the standard cabin air leak rate," NASA said in a statement. It said the crew, composed of NASA's Chris Cassidy and Russia's Ivan Vagner and Anatoly Ivanishin, would close the station's hatches this weekend to monitor air pressure and find the source of the leak.

      Trump asks Supreme Court to let him block critics from following him on Twitter

      WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump is taking his effort to block his critics on Twitter to the Supreme Court. The Justice Department on Thursday asked the high court to review a federal appeals court ruling that found the president's practice of blocking critics violates the First Amendment. Trump, who now has more than 85 million Twitter followers, prompted the court battle in 2017 by blocking some of the social media company's users from following his Twitter account.

      A lawyer for a police officer charged in George Floyd's death says Floyd 'killed himself' by dying from an overdose and a heart condition

      A lawyer for Thomas Lane, one of the four former Minneapolis police officers charged in George Floyd's death, told the Los Angeles Times that he planned to argue that Floyd "killed himself." He told the Times that Floyd died from a fentanyl overdose and an underlying heart condition and that the police officers involved in Floyd's death on May 25 were just "doing their jobs." "None of these guys — even Chauvin — actually killed him," he said, referring to Derek Chauvin, the officer who knelt on Floyd's neck for nine minutes.

      Two die fighting California lightning fires, tens of thousands flee

      Two people were killed fighting lightning-sparked California wildfires, and tens of thousands have evacuated homes as the state scrambles to find more firefighters. The deaths on Wednesday of a utility worker and helicopter pilot participating in the fire response came after nearly 11,000 lightning strikes hit the state over a 72-hour stretch this week, igniting 367 fires. Authorities are warning all 40 million state residents to be ready to evacuate, if necessary.

      'At some point, we obviously will be gone.' Trump declines to give timetable for U.S. withdrawal from Iraq

      More than 17 years after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, President Donald Trump said Thursday the United States will eventually withdraw all American troops from the conflict-ridden nation, though he did not provide a timetable. "At some point, we obviously will be gone," Trump said during an Oval Office meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi. Trump and the Iraqi leader said they planned to discuss oil development, relations with Iran, and Iraq's internal security, the chief focus for U.S. forces who remain in the country.

      A Brooklyn mother traveling alone with her six children was forced off a JetBlue flight in Orlando, Florida, Wednesday when her 2-year-old daughter wouldn't wear her mask. Flight attendants ordered Chaya Bruck of Midwood to get off the Newark, New Jersey-bound plane after her daughter Dina refused to keep the face covering on — and when the desperate mom tried to explain the tot wasn't cooperating, the attendants told all of the passengers to get off the aircraft. “It was horrible, the whole experience was traumatizing,” Bruck told the New York Daily News from Orlando International Airport, where she and her children were still stranded Wednesday afternoon.

      Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. sought to distance itself Wednesday from a viral image about a purported "zero tolerance" policy that bans MAGA attire and which drew President Donald Trump's ire. The giant tiremaker responded to a report by a local Kansas TV station featuring an image that the news outlet said it received from a Goodyear employee and which was allegedly displayed during a diversity training at a company plant. The image in the story by CBS affiliate WIBW in Topeka, Kansas, which was widely shared on social media, listed two columns, one headlined "acceptable" and the other "unacceptable."

      Thousands of chicks transported through USPS to farms in Maine arrived dead, the Press Herald reported. The chicks were mishandled due to cost-cutting measures undertaken by the USPS and the organization's postmaster general Louis DeJoy, the report alleged. Rep.

      ‘Jurassic Park experiment’: 750 million genetically engineered mosquitoes to be released in Florida

      US authorities have approved a plan to release more than 750 million genetically modified mosquitoes across the Florida Keys, despite objections from local residents. British-based firm Oxitec are behind the project, that will test whether the altered mosquitoes can work as an alternative to pesticides to control the spread of diseases, such as Zika, dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever, according to CNN. The male mosquito, which is named OX5034, has been created to produce female offspring that die at larval stage, before they grow big enough to spread disease and bite.

      Germany and France offered on Thursday to provide medical care on their soil for Russian opposition leader Alexander Navalny, who is gravely ill after aides said he was poisoned. French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel said they were deeply concerned at what was happening to Navalny, one of the fiercest critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Macron, who hosted Merkel for talks at his summer residence in a medieval island fortress in the Mediterranean, said he had discussed Navalny's illness at length with the German leader.
