Scorching heat at Trump rally in Las Vegas sends 6 to hospital, fire department says
Six people were taken to a hospital, while another two dozen received medical attention on site at former President Donald Trump's rally in Las Vegas on Sunday amid extreme heat, the Clark County Fire Department said. Temperatures on Sunday topped 100 degrees and the National Weather Service issued an excessive heat watch. Prior to the rally at Sunset Park in Las Vegas the Trump campaign stressed its efforts to implement "comfort measures" to ensure the safety of rally goers who usually spend hours waiting in line just to get into Trump rallies and additional hours waiting for Trump to take the stage -- including providing water bottles, allowing small umbrellas into the rally, setting up tents and misting stations, and deploying "ample" medical staff in case of emergencies.

Mayorkas defends new asylum restrictions: 'We stand by the legality of what we have done'
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas defended the Biden administration's new asylum restrictions and consequences for migrants who cross the border illegally in an interview with ABC News' "This Week" on Sunday. "Our intent is to really change the risk calculus of individuals before they leave their countries of origin and incentivize them to use lawful pathways that we have made available to them and keep them out of the hands of exploitative smugglers," Mayorkas told "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz. The number of people in processing for expedited removal from the border has more than doubled since President Joe Biden issued the proclamation to significantly curb asylum for illegal border crossers in the southwest, administration officials said Friday.

Take it for a spin on winding roads or test its limits on a race track -- the car's rowdy, brash exhaust note reacts to every input the driver decrees.

Permission to win: Ukraine needs more from Biden than weapons to defeat Russia, according to experts
Last week, Biden gave limited permission for Ukrainian forces to fire back at Russians attacking Kharkiv from just across the border with United States' weapons, but the administration has been emphatic that it still opposes strikes on key military targets elsewhere on Russian territory. "It should not be construed as a shift away from our broader policy that we don’t encourage or enable U.S. weapons to be used against targets inside Russia," a U.S. official said. Zelenskyy has been vocal about the importance of using long-range Western weapons, like the U.S.-provided Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), against military targets in Russia.

4 big takeaways from Day 5 of Hunter Biden's federal gun trial
Hunter Biden's criminal gun trial abruptly ended for the week on Friday after his daughter Naomi Biden testified that her dad "seemed great, he seemed hopeful" just days after he purchased a Colt revolver in October of 2018, bolstering the defense claim that he was not abusing drugs around the time he procured the gun. Whether Hunter Biden will testify in his own defense remains an open question, as his attorneys suggested they needed the weekend to make that "last decision" before resting their case. Naomi Biden, the 30-year-old daughter of Hunter Biden, testified that she twice saw her father during the timeframe in 2018 when Hunter Biden's attorneys said he was not actively using drugs, and each time, she testified, he "seemed great."
