The Tripoli-based government in Libya reported a mass prison break on Tuesday, staged during a fierce battle between rival armed militias in the cities of Zawiya and Surman.

Local news footage depicted heavy gunfire and clouds of black smoke from the battles, and the mayor of Surman said the…
Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) heads into Tuesday’s Democrat primary as the underdog against a Sanders-backed democratic socialist, with polling and prediction markets pointing to the wealthy incumbent losing his Detroit seat to the party’s insurgent left. Thanedar faces state Rep. Donavan McKinney in the August 4 primary for Michigan’s 13th Congressional District, a contest that has become a proxy war between the Democrat establishment and the surging Democratic Socialists of America. A mid-July Data for Progress survey put Thanedar up 46-42. But the lead was soft. Once voters saw biographies of both candidates, McKinney flipped it and led 48-41. Prediction…

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei said there has been “positive” movement in discussions with Oman over controlling the Strait of Hormuz – with an eye toward extorting “fees” from international shipping through the vital waterway. “The talks, which are being held between the two coastal states…
