Among the onslaught were posts that falsely accused foreign powers, including Russia, Iran, Ukraine and Israel, of assassinating the South Carolina Republican.

Health experts say overnight temperatures that fail to cool down are even more dangerous than daytime temperatures that soar. It has already been a sweltering start to the summer across much of the U.S. due to the long-lasting heat dome expected to blanket much…
