A powerful storm system roared across the Midwest and South Friday night, unleashing a series of tornadoes that carved paths of destruction and left at least 10 dead in Missouri. The outbreak of tornadoes raked through towns under the cover of darkness — the most dangerous and deadly time for a tornado outbreak. The magnitude of the damage was unclear in the early-morning hours Saturday as forecasters at the National Weather Service furiously issued tornado warnings and the radar lit up with severe thunderstorms from Wisconsin to Mississippi. It’s part of a major, cross-country low pressure system that has killed at least 16 people so far and pounded the central US with hurricane-force gusts, creating a blinding dust storm and fanning wildfire flames. As meteorologists from the weather service assess the damage Saturday, a new, more dangerous round of storms is underway in the Southeast, prompting a “particularly dangerous situation” tornado watch in parts of Louisiana and Mississippi due to the highest possible risk of tornadoes and severe thunderstorms.

The Justice Department’s leadership asked career prosecutors in Florida Tuesday to volunteer over the “next several days” to help to redact the Epstein files, in the latest internal Trump administrationpush toward releasing the hundreds of thousands of photos, internal memos and other evidence around the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The US State Department on Tuesday imposed visa sanctions on a former top European Union official and employees of organizations that combat disinformation for alleged censorship – sharply ratcheting up the Trump administration’s fight against European regulations that have impacted digital platforms, far-right politicians and Trump allies, including Elon Musk.
