- Residents of the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in North Africa destroyed a makeshift migrant camp on a beach. Locals tore down tents, threw migrants' belongings into the sea and lit a bonfire while waving Spanish flags, as migrants watched from a nearby.
Earlier, protesters blocked a road next to the beach, chanting slogans including "kick out invaders." Tensions between residents and migrants have risen since a mass crossing in late July. Authorities say 5,000 people remain in Ceuta after at least 72,000 people crossed from Morocco on July 30 in a rush that left 82 migrants dead on the Spanish side of the border, with 14 more deaths confirmed by Morocco.

- At the 2026 March on Washington, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez delivered speeches criticizing the Supreme Court for its April 29 decision that limited a landmark civil rights law.
The Supreme Court on April 29 threw out a congressional map in Louisiana that had been drawn to protect the voting power of Black residents. An ideologically divided court sided 6-3 with the Trump administration and with the non-Black voters who challenged the map as relying too heavily on race to sort voters – and it did so just three years after upholding the 1965 Voting Rights Act’s vote dilution protections for racial minorities.

Benjamin P.

While landslides are common in the tectonically active Himalayas, he said the scale of this event was exceptional.

He said the federal funds rate, the Fed’s benchmark for interest rates across the country, is the predominant tool to achieve price stability and maximum employment. But those hoping for clarity on the Fed’s next rate decision didn’t get it. Instead, Warsh made a case against giving markets forward guidance.

The trip to Houston comes just two days after Trump's endorsement carried Sen. Darline Graham of South Carolina over the finish line in a special primary, fending off increasing scrutiny of her foreign policy knowledge and reasserting his influence over Republican voters.
The White House says Trump is attending a Republican National Committee engagement at 6 p.m. Donors must pay $10,000 to attend the reception and more than $88,000 if they want a photo opportunity, according to a copy of the event invitation obtained by a New York Times reporter.

- The volume and speed of the wall of mud, boulders and debris that rushed more than 60 miles down a river through Nepal on Aug. 26 shocked even experienced researchers who study mountains, glaciers and waterways in the Himalayas.
"The force of this thing is just almost incomprehensible," said Alton Byers, a faculty research scientist at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research at the University of Colorado at Boulder. It's "one of the largest events" of its kind that he's seen in some 30 years of research, Byers told USA TODAY.
Communities were devastated, nearly 1,500 are missing, and at least 165 have been reported dead, Reuters reported. According to authorities, among the missing are at least 800 foreigners, including dozens of Americans.
