Who will show up? Who will pay? The many unknowns of the GOP convention. 
With less than three weeks to go, Donald Trump's Republican National Convention in Cleveland is poised to be the most chaotic GOP gathering of the modern era.
Republicans may have just forfeited half their Senate pickup chances
They had two big chances to pick off a Democratic seat. They may have just lost one in Colorado.
 
Istanbul airport blasts that killed 41 raise questions on ISIS fight
There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack, but the Turkish government believed the Islamic State was behind it. Last year, officials blamed the group for bombings that killed at least 100 people in the capital, Ankara, but the country so far has held back from deploying warplanes in the U.S.-led fight in Syria.
 
Her shocking murder became the stuff of legend. But everyone got the story wrong.
Kitty Genovese's murder was made famous when a newspaper sensationally reported that 37 eyewitnesses did nothing to stop the crime. Now a new movie revisits her death and reexamines the facts through her brother's eyes.

107 Nobel laureates sign letter blasting Greenpeace for 'anti-science' stance on GMOs

David Cameron has advice for Jeremy Corbyn: 'For heaven's sake, man, go!'
Britain's Labour leader refuses to budge as increasing pressure is put on him to resign a day after his own party voted overwhelmingly to oust him.
 
U.S. diplomat attacked by Russian government guard outside Moscow embassy
OP-ED | This previously unreported attack caused a diplomatic episode behind the scenes that has not surfaced until now. The motive for the attack remains unclear. Was the diplomat working as a spy?
 
New analysis shows 160 emails missing from Clinton's disclosure to State
Dozens of emails that crossed her private server but were not included in the 55,000 pages of correspondence she delivered to the State Department have come to light, many of them through lawsuits brought by the conservative group Judicial Watch.
 
Two transgender candidates, both named Misty, just made history by winning primaries
As gay politicians have made strides, the victories are a first for transgender candidates.

Someone needs to tell Bernie he lost.

D.C. announces a new name (in case it becomes the 51st state)
Mayor Muriel Bowser is leading a renewed push for statehood that has picked up steam this year, including some high-profile endorsements from President Obama and presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
 
D.C. Schools Chancellor Kaya Henderson to step down, leaving legacy of progress

‘Please, don't shoot': Daughters futilely beg mom to stop in 911 calls during fatal Texas shooting
The sheriff's department, which released the calls on Tuesday, described them as "difficult to listen to" and said no motive for the shooting has been determined, only that it began with a family argument.
 
'This is savagery': Venezuelans storming stores, attacking trucks as food supplies dwindle
On any day in cities across this oil-rich but increasingly desperate nation, crowds form to sack supermarkets, and protesters decry the skyrocketing prices and dwindling supplies of basic goods.
