The funerals for some of the hostages have been held. These pictures are from raanana, just north of tel aviv, where a service was held for almog sarusi. The israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, blamed hamas leaders for the killings, saying they showed hamas did not want a deal.

In both in both georgia and nevada. Trump, meanwhile, leads by a single point in the bout appeared all of those results are within the margin of error, but the trendlines favor harris.

Summer. Maybe squeeze in one last cookout before the weather gets colder and everything starts to taste like pumpkin spice. But labor day weekend also marks the moment when most americans really start to pay attention to the presidential race. For the campaign, this is the moment when every little detail starts to matter. Vice president kamala harris and her running mate tim walz are coming off a twoday bus tour through southern georgia. The first democratic campaign in that part of the state since 1992.
