Found during a daring submersible expedition, it’s not the first deep-sea fish—but its adaptation to such profound depths is unprecedented. Researchers are now racing to uncover its secrets: how it eats, reproduces, and survives in the abyss. The trench, a frontier o...

Alaska’s primary is heating up in a wild twist: two candidates named Dan Sullivan are battling it out, with election officials trying to disqualify the challenger over “good faith” claims — a move a judge slammed as unconstitutional and made-up. The incumbent, Dan Sullivan, and his team accuse the challenger, a retired teacher and Forest Service veteran, of trying to confuse voters — but the challenger says he’s genuinely frustrated with current policies and admits the name game gives him an edge. Meanwhile, accusations fly about Democratic ties and campaign strategies, while the election division prepares to appeal the judge’s ruli...

Rectory Fire Forces Pastor to Continue Duties

A beloved Austin resident was killed by a falling pecan tree at Green Mesquite BBQ — and his family is now suing for $1 million, accusing the restaurant and property owners of gross negligence for ignoring obvious signs the tree was dying. The tree, nicknamed the “Widowmaker,” crushed Mr. Foyle during a peaceful evening on the patio. The lawsuit also highlights a troubling twist: the property was refinanced for nearly $1 million just seven days after his death — raising questions about financial responsibility. The case, now in Travis County District Court, underscores the critical duty of businesses and owners to ensure public safety. ...

Authorities urge everyone to always wear life jackets, especially for kids under 13, avoid boating under the influence, check the weather, and tell someone your plans. The search continue...

Texas Democrats, after a 30-year drought of statewide wins, are sensing a comeback as Attorney General candidate Nathan Johnson rides a wave of momentum built on economic and social issues—not culture wars.

The Democratic convention signaled a strategic pivot, with Governor candidate Gina Hinojosa admitting the party has lost its way and calling for a New Deal-style revival.

While some insiders note his state law enforcement background could be an asset, Senate confirmation remains a major hurdle, especially as ICE’s leadership void stretches years.
