Torrential rain and flooding expected in South and Midwest
Another round of torrential rain and flash flooding was expected in parts of the South and Midwest already heavily waterlogged by days of relentless severe storms that in some cases spawned deadly tornadoes. Round after round of heavy rains have pounded the central U.S., leading to rapidly rising waterways and prompting a series of flash flood emergencies Friday night in Missouri, Texas and Arkansas. Meanwhile, many communities were still reeling from tornadoes that destroyed entire neighborhoods and killed at least seven people earlier this week. Kentucky's governor says floodwaters swept away and killed a boy Friday in his state. Forecasters warn of more severe weather on the way Saturday.
Democrats planning Trump trade protests
Democrat activists are planning to participate in rallies across the country Saturday to protest President Donald Trump's trade policies. Trump's new tariffs mark an all-in bet that his economic vision will pay off for Americans. It's the realization of his decades of advocacy for an America First foreign policy and the belief that free trade was forcing the United States into decline. The early reviews have given Democrats some hope for a turnaround for their party. Trump has promised that the taxes on imports will bring about a domestic manufacturing renaissance and help fund an extension of his 2017 tax cuts.
