OPINION | After President Trump’s July 16 address exaggerating U.S. election vulnerabilities to foreign operators, Senate Intelligence Vice Chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.) was sharply critical. Warner called it “a whole series of falsehoods, accusations, I believe aimed at trying to undermine America’s confidence in our system.”
With November’s midterm elections fast approaching, Trump is driven by desperation, fearing that Republicans could lose control of the House and possibly the Senate.

The double-decker jet, which had been outfitted for the Qatari royal family, had a spacious bedroom adorned with leather and wood and a lounge featuring a chandelier and another with suede seats.

Since the fighting picked back up this month, Iran has been firing the Kheibar Shekan at American bases, U.S. officials said.

What’s for dinner? Lately, at Apral Jack’s house, it’s whatever is on sale.
Jack scouts an app for deals at her local supermarket before she buys groceries. When she reaches the store, she grabs the weekly circular to look for coupons she might have missed. If the shelf prices look too high, she scratches items off her list or tries to find lower prices someplace else.

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is facing growing calls to be more transparent about his health nearly six weeks after he was hospitalized.
McConnell, 84, has been absent from the Senate since he said he suffered a fall June 14. His office shared a photo of McConnell holding The Washington Post on July 12, and McConnell said in a statement that he had left the hospital and moved to a rehabilitation center — but he did not say when he planned to return, offering only that he would not “be able to return to the Senate floor to vote quite yet.”
