Kamala Harris is now Democratic presidential nominee, will face off against Donald Trump this fall. WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris, a daughter of immigrants who rose through the California political and law enforcement ranks to become the first female vice president in U.S. history, formally secured the Democratic presidential nomination on Monday — becoming the first woman of color to lead a major party ticket. More than four years after her first attempt at the presidency collapsed, Harris’ coronation as her party’s standard-bearer caps a tumultuous and frenetic period for Democrats prompted by President Joe Biden’s disastrous June debate performance that shattered his own supporters’ confidence in his reelection prospects and spurred extraordinary intraparty warfare about whether he should stay in the race.

Tropical Storm Debby slams Florida with catastrophic flooding and forcing some Sarasota residents out of their homes HORSESHOE BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Tropical Storm Debby moved menacingly into some of America’s most historic Southern cities and was expected to bring prolonged downpours and flooding throughout the day Tuesday after slamming into Florida and prompting the rescue of hundreds from flooded homes.  Record-setting rain from the storm that killed at least five people on Monday was causing flash flooding, with up to 30 inches (76 centimeters) possible in some areas, the National Hurricane Center said.  “Hunker down,” Van Johnson, the mayor of Savannah, Georgia, told residents in a social media livestream Monday night. “Expect that it will be a rough day” on Tuesday, he said.

Jimmy Chérizier, widely known as "Barbecue," has signed a peace treaty aimed at curbing the ongoing gang violence plaguing the Caribbean nation. This agreement has emerged from a closed-door meeting among various gang leaders in Port-au-Prince, the capital city. Haiti has long been mired in a state of lawlessness, with armed gangs exerting control over large swathes of Port-au-Prince. The recent announcement by Prime Minister Ariel Henry of his intention to step down has only served to intensify the turmoil. The United Nations has reported alarming casualty figures with an estimated 1,500 lives lost to gang violence this year alone, following 4,500 deaths in the previous year. Amidst this chaos, Chérizier's gang consortium, known as G9 Family and Allies, has emerged as a dominant force.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Buoyed by an increase in recruiting, the Army will expand its basic combat training in what its leaders hope reflects a turning point as it prepares to meet the challenges of future wars. The added training will begin in October and comes as the Army tries to reverse years of dismal recruiting when it failed to meet its enlistment goals. New units in Oklahoma and Missouri will train as many as 4,000 recruits every year. Army leaders are optimistic they will hit their target of 55,000 recruits this year and say the influx of new soldiers forced them to increase the number of training sites. “I am happy to say last year’s recruiting transformation efforts have us on track to make this year’s recruiting mission, with thousands awaiting basic training” in the next year, Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said. Adding the two new locations, she said, is a way to get the soldiers trained and into units quickly, “with further expansion likely next spring if our recruiting numbers keep improving.”
