A summer food festival in Seattle turned deadly as police said they detained a suspect after a shooting left three people dead, according to Reuters video reports.[1]
Abroad, the Middle East conflict’s shifting contours are drawing fresh scrutiny. The Pentagon has changed how it reports U.S. casualties in the Iran war, a move likely to intensify debate over the campaign’s human and political costs.[7] At the same time, the Houthis have cornered Saudi Arabia into a new battle, complicating Riyadh’s posture and the broader regional map.[8] Against this backdrop, the White House signaled that any U.S.–Saudi civilian nuclear deal is off the table without the kingdom’s recognition of Israel.[1]
Markets are again parsing the cost of the AI boom: the Nasdaq lagged as investors fretted about mounting AI infrastructure spending ahead of major tech earnings, keeping pressure on the broader tape.[3][6] Consumer currents are shifting, too: Reuters reports the golden era of ultra-cheap Shein shopping is fading as costs rise and trade frictions bite.[6] Fresh tariff salvos — including on Canada — and oil’s march toward $100 have added to the inflation watch on Wall Street.[3][6]
Extreme weather is exacting a toll across two continents. Spain declared a national emergency as wildfires surged near Madrid, with Greek firefighting aircraft joining the battle, while fire-hit communities in southeastern France continued to support exhausted crews as blazes raged on.[4][5] In the U.S., flash flooding in West Virginia forced evacuations after torrential downpours.[1]
In a notable media-law turn, U.S. prosecutors dropped subpoenas to The New York Times in the Trump plane leak probe, a rare pullback in a high-profile case involving press records.[1]
