U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed are spending the final hours of Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary in settings that reflect their starkly different campaigns. In Detroit, El-Sayed posed Monday for photos and participated in interviews with content creators at a backyard pool party before a final rally with supporters. Stevens appeared alongside Michigan Democratic officials in the state's west side. The race has become one of the clearest tests yet of where Democratic voters want their party to go. El-Sayed is a progressive while Stevens is backed by establishment leaders. Tuesday's winner faces Republican Mike Rogers in November for an open seat Democrats probably need to hold to take control of the Senate.

Investigators are trying to determine what led a 24-year-old man to open fire at an Idaho fast-food restaurant , in an attack that left three people dead and seven others wounded before authorities say he killed himself. Police Chief Matthew Hicks said Sunday that investigators are confident that the gunman, identified as Chad Williams, acted alone in the shooting Saturday at an In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls. Hicks says an off-duty state trooper and a civilian fired on the attacker and diverted him from the restaurant. He also says Williams’ family is cooperating fully with the investigation.

State health officials say two people have died in the cyclospora outbreak in Michigan. They are the first confirmed deaths in the U.S. related to the microscopic parasite. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services said Monday that both had underlying health conditions that may have been impacted by the intestinal illness and dehydration.

The Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies took big swings ahead of baseball’s trade deadline, with the Red Sox adding three-time All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman a few hours after the Phillies picked up three-time batting champion Luis Arraez. The pair of aggressive moves was part of more than a dozen swaps that have happened before Monday’s 6 p.m. EDT deadline. Most of the biggest names are off the board, but some enticing options still remain, including Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho. The Los Angeles Dodgers woke up already looking like the deadline’s biggest winners after adding two-time Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal to a loaded roster Sunday.
The Board of Peace official overseeing Gaza’s postwar transition has met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. They discussed on Monday a new disarmament plan reached with Hamas. Nikolay Mladenov, the high representative for Gaza, held “constructive and detailed” talks with Netanyahu and his team. Mladenov also urged Netanyahu to halt Israeli strikes in Gaza. That's according to two people familiar with the matter. U.S. President Donald Trump had announced the agreement, part of a broader ceasefire deal reached last year. Israeli attacks have killed 1,250 people since the ceasefire deal was reached in October.
Nate Rouette and his brother Nelson went shark fishing on Cape Cod hoping for an exciting catch, but were shocked by what they reeled in. The brothers caught a tiger shark, a tropical species with a reputation for eating everything it can swallow. The brothers, longtime sport fishermen who live in Massachusetts, caught and released the juvenile shark in July. The shark is far more common in warmer, southern waters such as the Caribbean Sea. Scientists say its appearance off Falmouth, Massachusetts, is an indicator of warming seas caused by climate change.
