Bush pushes his mission in Rockford
Vice President George Bush spoke to more than 200 Illinois Federation of Republican Women in Rockford urging a fall mission to secure victory in November. He framed it as a push for peace, economic progress, and a safer world while advocating a minimum wage differential to aid training for higher paying jobs. He defended holding line on taxes, urged spending restraint, and warned against federal control of education policy.

Fires Run Wild as Yellowstone Braces for 60 MPH Winds
Forecasters warned 50 to 60 mph winds could intensify wildfires in Yellowstone National Park, now largely closed to all but firefighters. Three Cabinet members planned Westward visits to assess damage as federal troops bolster the response to the park system's most severe blaze in 116 years. Major fires spread across several Western states, with the Old Faithful complex threatened but largely contained after earlier flame-driven evacuations and firefighting efforts.
