Erin Piacenti, 32, was returning to work for the first time since giving birth to her 5-month-old daughter Madison on Aug. 31 when she was fatally stabbed by Pamela Cisneros, 49, as she headed home from her job at Bank of America (BoA).

Mike Trout was practically beaming. He dropped the phrase "fresh start" four times in an interview that barely lasted five minutes. The burden of the Angels' failures has been disproportionately his to bear. He has insisted that his path to Cooperstown would run through Anaheim and only Anaheim. He has played 16 seasons for an owner that blessed him with half a billion dollars, treated his family like royalty and stranded him in position to conclude a star-spangled career without ever winning a postseason game. On Tuesday, Trout learned that the Angels would have a new owner: Stan Kroenke. Trout got off the call, looked up Kroenke and has not stopped smiling since.
Earlier this week, Daniel Driscoll, the secretary of the United States Army, resigned from his post after he reportedly tried to directly appeal to US President Donald Trump about how changes in the military's leadership were having an impact on the institution's readiness for war. Driscoll, a law school colleague of US Vice President JD Vance, was appointed last February to his position, the highest civilian role in the Army below the secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth.

Republicans have been facing a problem with voters over high gasoline prices for months " but the economic pain from near-record diesel fuel prices looks set to hit at the worst possible time for them. The war in Iran, disruptions in Russian production and refining bottlenecks have sent the price of diesel fuel rising faster than that of gasoline or crude oil, and it's now grinding toward an all-time record just two months ahead of the midterms. That matters for Republicans in particular because diesel prices hit first " and hardest " in rural areas and affect blue-collar businesses like farming and trucking before spreading to suburban dinner tables and the rest of the economy.
