Dallas opened a mega-shelter at its downtown convention center Tuesday, as the city gears up to help thousands left homeless by Tropical Storm Harvey.

It sheltered more than 9,000 […]

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan sued the city of Chicago Tuesday, asking a federal court to stop the city’s police department from engaging in what the suit calls a “pattern of using excessive force” and other discriminatory misconduct against Chicago’s African-American and Latino residents.

Eager to demonstrate leadership amid the worst natural disaster of his tenure, President Donald Trump arrived Tuesday in Corpus Christi, Texas, his first of two stops in the storm-ravaged state to meet with officials to discuss the damage.

The megachurch led by Joel Osteen is receiving people who need shelter and also helping evacuees with supplies such as baby food, formula and other shelter needs, the church announced via Twitter Tuesday morning.

A few of Selena Gomez’s 125 million followers got to see more of Justin Bieber than they probably ever imagined.

The aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and the ongoing flooding in Houston have already, almost inevitably, drawn comparisons with Hurricane Katrina. The latest images playing out on television are, in many ways, reminiscent of August 2005, when New Orleans’ federal levees fell apart, ushering a powerful storm surge into the city and displacing thousands of residents. […]

Minutes before he veered into a prolonged back-and-forth with reporters two weeks ago, blaming “both sides” for the violence days earlier in Charlottesville, Virginia, President Donald Trump unveiled an executive order killing planned regulations on new infrastructure building. Among them was a rule that would have required federally funded projects to account for flood risks. […]

Hurricane Harvey took direct aim at the country’s Gulf Coast energy machine. But the blow is being softened by huge supplies of shale. The shale revolution didn’t exist when Hurricanes Katrina and Rita pummeled the Gulf a decade ago and sent gas prices soaring. This time, hotbeds of shale in places like North Dakota, far […]

Harvey’s havoc continued to pour down, three days after the storm rammed Texas as a Category 4 hurricane, unleashing a torrent of rain, turning streets into rivers, and leaving thousands of residents stranded in flooded homes. Harvey, a tropical storm by Tuesday morning with its eye hovering over the Gulf of Mexico, could still dump […]

Less than a week after the U.S. noted an absence of “provocative acts” by North Korea, Kim Jong Un’s regime fired a ballistic missile over Japan. Coming soon after the launch of shorter-range missiles over the weekend, Tuesday’s move increases the likelihood of more sanctions on North Korea’s foreign trade, experts say. “This latest provocation […]

The streets are eerily empty, with few signs of life in sight. Plumes of smoke billow from the top floors of hollowed out buildings. Neighboring structures appear flattened by mortars and bombs. This is Raqqa, the capital of ISIS’ caliphate in Syria, and the terror group’s last major stronghold. Photojournalist Gabriel Chaim has captured drone […]

“Socks are key. Dry socks in fact. They’re the most important thing you need to pack,” my guide Giorgi says nonchalantly. “You should never go hiking without an extra pair.” I nod approvingly but can’t offer much else. We’re barreling down a narrow, unpaved mountain road toward the village of Juta near the Georgia-Russia border. […]

Pastor Joel Osteen’s Houston megachurch says it’s opening its doors Tuesday to residents displaced by flooding. Lakewood Church, which was founded by Osteen’s father in the 1950s, posted on social media Monday that the venue was “inaccessible due to severe flooding” following Hurricane Harvey, which has been downgraded to a tropical storm. The message included […]

Tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou — credited by Serena Williams with taking her from “great to history” — has given short shrift to the idea that the men’s calendar needs changing after a spate of injuries to some of the sport’s leading players.

Local communities almost always pull together on the ground after natural disasters like the torrential flooding that has submerged Houston. But the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey is likely to strain America’s fraying capacity to coalesce as a national community at a moment of heightened political conflict and division. Amid the images of devastation and loss, […]

A North Korean missile fired over Japan Tuesday was denounced by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as a “most serious and grave” threat. The missile was fired just before 6 a.m. in Japan.

There’s nothing more fundamental to President Donald Trump’s political philosophy than a vision of the relentless and uncompromising enforcement of law and order. Trump waited only until the second paragraph of a stark convention speech in Philadelphia last year before hitting on the theme. He went on to describe a nation threatened by “attacks on […]

The boat turned onto a Houston waterway that used to be a street, and the three volunteers from Louisiana’s Cajun Navy saw what they first thought was debris, caught in the rapid current of rushing floodwaters. They quickly realized that what they were looking at was a person, an elderly woman, floating face down as […]
