Police are searching for at least one additional suspect after the shooting beneath the Space Needle.
The four wounded include a 2-year-old boy. Court documents indicate that a second suspected shooter died at the scene, while police detained one suspect and sought another.

The blocked order would create a federal citizenship list and restrict ballot delivery to voters on it.
A Massachusetts judge blocked those provisions in the 23 states that sued, finding the executive order intruded on election authority assigned to states and Congress; the First Circuit left the injunction in place. Solicitor General D. John Sauer argues the challenge is premature because federal agencies have not finalized how they would implement the order.

Near one funding cutoff, an extra $388 per pupil produced lower local revenue, faster reopening and higher enrollment—not detectable test-score gains.
Congress appropriated $189.5 billion for the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief fund. Comparing districts around a funding threshold tied to a 5% poverty share, researchers found that additional federal dollars flowed to residents through lower local revenue collections, including property taxes. The working paper reports no detectable test-score gains, higher enrollment, faster reopening and suggestive evidence of more political engagement—especially among parents. Its public summary reports the direction of those effects, not their magnitudes.

Private operators will run the stores; the city supplies the sites, covers overhead and has committed $70 million in capital funding.
The city plans one store in each borough. All produce, meat and seafood plus roughly 20 pantry and dairy categories will be priced 30% below the local market, with no income limit. City officials project that the discounted basket will reduce a shopper’s total grocery bill by about 15%—roughly $90 a month—not 30%. The first store is scheduled to open in Hunts Point by the end of 2027; all five are promised by 2029.

More than 300,000 hectares have burned across the two countries, with major fires in Gironde, Ávila and Castellón.
France has recorded 116,000 burned hectares and 13,566 fires this year; Spain has recorded about 153,000 hectares—roughly six times its total at the same point last year. The Ávila fire alone has burned more than 50,000 hectares, about five times Barcelona’s area. Around 220,000 people were evacuated in France’s Gironde region, while Spain evacuated roughly 79,000 and confined another 30,000.

The 2016–17 memoir recordings—not Biden’s later interview with special counsel Robert Hur—became evidence in Hur’s classified-documents investigation.
Roughly 70 hours of Biden’s private interviews with memoir ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer exist; more than two hours have been released. In excerpts, Biden cautions that some notebook material “may be classified” and says he found “all the classified stuff downstairs.” Hur cited the recordings but declined charges because investigators said they could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Biden willfully retained or disclosed classified material. No classified material was alleged to have appeared in the published book.

A new estimate across 69 economies finds the largest spillovers from nondefense research, especially in non-OECD countries.
Researchers tracked shocks to U.S. research appropriations and productivity in 69 foreign economies from 1980 through 2019. Their estimate: a spending shock equal to 1% of the federal R&D capital stock raises foreign total-factor productivity by about 1% after 12 years. The response comes mostly from nondefense research and is concentrated in non-OECD economies.
