Two Dead in Grand Canyon Flooding, Pentagon Shakeup, FDA Approves New Cancer Pill: AM Update 9/1

Jurors deliberated for roughly 17 hours over three days without a verdict, and two female jurors reportedly wore pink, the same color as Clancy's supporters.

The lengthy deliberations are not surprising because the trial was lengthy and the country is split on the case. A manslaughter option could give jurors a middle ground between a murder conviction and finding Clancy not criminally responsible.

Jurors are likely to feel the crime was so horrific that they will want something more than a not guilty verdict, making involuntary manslaughter a good compromise.

You're not supposed to be wearing things that show where your mind's at in the trial, but it could just be an innocent explanation.

Two people are dead and at least 14 others are missing or unaccounted for after catastrophic flash flooding tore through the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

A short burst of heavy rain high above the canyon turned into a violent rush of water far below, carrying debris and destroying infrastructure.

If the park ranger hadn't ordered everybody to evacuate when they did, they might not have made it out alive.

It was like a whirlpool in there, with all the debris circling around cabins and other equipment from the maintenance worksite. A 15-foot wall of water came through the campground in Phantom Ranch and just wiped out all the bridges.

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll reportedly submitted his resignation to President Trump, following months of reported tension with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

Driscoll has been highly effective in advancing the president's agenda, pointing to his leadership during military operations and his focus on readiness.

The Washington Post reports the Pentagon allegedly secretly used social media influencers to advance Secretary Hegseth's agenda.

The Washington Post reports that several top military leaders have warned Secretary Hegseth that continuing large-scale operations against Iran risks weakening the military's ability to respond to threats elsewhere.

The U.S. is in a position where it is as strong as it has ever been and is only going to get stronger under the president's leadership, fixing underinvestment from the Biden administration.

U.S. forces struck Iranian rocket launchers near the Strait of Hormuz after CENTCOM says members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard were observed preparing to launch rockets and deploy sea mines. Iran later said it launched missiles toward U.S. sites in Jordan. President Trump posted a video depicting Iran's Karg Island oil hub being destroyed, but there is no evidence it was actually attacked.

NBC News reports that Secretary Hegseth and his wife have recently floated the possibility of a presidential run in 2028.

Reports of 2028 ambitions are 100% false.

Secretary Hegseth is not running for president, and his main priority is leading the War Department.

The FDA approved Revolution Medicine's RazinQ, a once-daily pill for metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma that nearly doubles survival in a major clinical trial.

Patients on the drug lived more than twice as long as their life expectancy, with the control group living almost six months and the drug group living 13.7 months. The treatment comes with potentially serious side effects, including a severe rash he describes as 'nuclear.'

The drug is a big deal because it is a pill, not chemotherapy, and targets a specific mutation in the tumor, resulting in fewer side effects and better quality of life.

The approval is a groundbreaking milestone.

NBC News reports the drug will carry a list price of $39,800 for a one-month supply before insurance or other discounts.
