MSNBC has shuffled its daytime lineup, doubling Nicolle Wallace's workload and moving Chuck Todd's ‘Meet the Press Daily’ program from 5 p.m. ET to 1 p.m. Wallace's program will increase by an hour and run from 4 to 6 p.m. Wallace, the former Bush administration communications official and fierce critic of President Donald Trump, had been drawing a bigger audience than Todd. MSNBC will also give an afternoon news show to Ayman Mohyeldin, who had been working the hour before ‘Morning Joe.’ 

A prosecutor says the man accused in the 2017 killing of a transgender teen whose body was set on fire in southwest Missouri told law enforcement officers that he tried to make the death “quick and painless.” The Springfield News-Leader reports that in opening statements neither side disputed at a bench trial that began Monday that Andrew Vrba killed 17-year-old Ally Steinfeld. The prosecution contends the killing was premeditated, while the defense countered that it was not premeditated. The 21-year-old man is charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action and abandonment of a corpse in the killing.

Microsoft, known primarily for its work software like Windows and Office, is in talks to buy TikTok, a popular Chinese-owned video app that has raised national-security concerns for U.S. officials. The U.S. government is effectively forcing ByteDance, TikTok’s owner, to try to sell. President Donald Trump has threatened a “ban” on TikTok and other administration officials and lawmakers of both parties have said they are concerned because the app is owned by a Chinese company. It’s unclear what shape such a ban would take or whether the sale will go through. TikTok’s users are posting videos saying they are upset and angry.

It’s being described as a “part movie, part evangelist” event. This year, amid a global pandemic, the staple Harvest Crusade event at Angel Stadium will take shape as a cinematic event. Dubbed “A Rush of Hope,” the film will be released on Labor Day weekend. It will feature messages from Harvest Christian Fellowship Pastor Greg Laurie along with outtakes from faith-based films like “I Still Believe” and “Woodlawn.” Laurie said the cinematic crusade will be more intimate and personal.

Seven St. Louis Cardinals players and six staff members have tested positive for COVID-19, causing Major League Baseball to postpone the team’s four-game series at Detroit. The series was to have been played at Comerica Park from Tuesday through Thursday. St. Louis has been in quarantine since Thursday in Milwaukee, where the Cardinals’ series last weekend was postponed, and the team is being tested daily. The Cardinals are the second team sidelined by the novel coronavirus since the season started July 23. The Miami Marlins are set to resume play Tuesday in Baltimore.

The Associated Press said that it had mistakenly sent a photo taken a year ago to depict Sunday's splashdown of a crew returning from the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX capsule. The news service issued a ‘kill advisory’ deleting the photo and advised customers of the error. The wrong picture was used Monday by several of AP's member news organizations. With no news organizations allowed on the recovery mission, the AP used images provided by NASA photographers, and mistakenly chose one from NASA's website that was from a March 2019 training mission.

Vice presidential searches make for perhaps the most popular of Washington parlor games: Veepstakes. Joe Biden ultimately will make the final decision himself on who will join him on the Democratic ticket in November. But there's a group of key advisers who have helped shape his options and present him with pros and cons for potential vice presidents. They include Delaware Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, former Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and former Apple executive and longtime Biden adviser Cynthia Hogan. They're aided by lawyers with deep ties to Democratic politics and former President Barack Obama. 

Police in suburban Denver have apologized after a group of Black girls was detained and at least two handcuffed during a weekend investigation of a stolen car.  Officers later determined that the vehicle they were seeking had the same license plate number but was from out-of-state. KUSA-TV reported that the children shown in a video by a bystander in a parking lot in Aurora on Sunday ranged in age from 6 to 17 years old. They can be heard crying and screaming. Police say officers are trained to do a “high-risk stop” with stolen cars, which involves drawing weapons and putting occupants on the ground.

Chicago Police say they have arrested a suspect in the fatal shooting of a 9-year-old boy and hope to secure charges against him within days. Janari Ricks was shot in the chest as he played with friends outside his home in Cabrini-Green on Friday night. Police Superintendent David Brown said Monday that the suspect was arrested after people in the community came forward with information. Police say Janari was not the intended target. An alderman who represents the neighborhood says the suspect and his intended target knew each other and that both used to live in the area.

Between 16 and 20 people are injured after three hot air balloons crashed in western Wyoming. The crashes happened Monday morning in Jackson Hole, a popular tourist area near Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks. Teton County Sheriff Matt Carr says at least one person was flown to an Idaho hospital for treatment. Carr describes the crash scene as about half a mile long and that weather apparently contributed to the crashes. The balloons apparently went down separately and did not crash into each other. All of the balloons belong to Wyoming Balloon Company sightseeing balloon operator. The company could not be reached to comment.

After a three year halt due to financial problems, work has resumed on a Greek Orthodox church being built to replace one destroyed in the attack on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. On Monday, the archbishop who leads of the Greek Orthodox church in America, blessed the construction of the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine at the World Trade Center. Construction was halted by a lack of funds in 2017. When complete, St. Nicholas will serve Orthodox believers as well as welcoming visitors of all faiths who wish to reflect on the losses of Sept. 11.

Retailers that have sought bankruptcy protection in 2020 range from those selling inexpensive and off-brand goods, to chichi names that have catered to the well-off for more than a century. The one thing many have in common is that in a sector turned upside down by Amazon.com, they were in trouble for some time. The spread of COVID-19 forced, or accelerated their trip before a bankruptcy judge as thousands of stores were forced to close because of the pandemic, including Lord & Taylor on Monday. 

Lawyers for a Manhattan prosecutor trying to get President Donald Trump’s tax returns told a judge Monday that it was justified in demanding them because of public reports of “extensive and protracted criminal conduct at  the Trump Organization.” Trump’s lawyers last month said the grand jury subpoena for the tax returns was issued in bad faith and amounted to harassment of the president. Manhattan District Attorney District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., is seeking eight years of the Republican president’s personal and corporate tax records, but has disclosed little about what prompted him to request the records, other than part of the investigation is related to payoffs made to women to keep them quiet about alleged affairs with Trump.

Magnolias, stars, guitars, beer cans, crawfish, a Gulf Coast lighthouse. Elvis Presley and Kermit the Frog. All appear on proposals submitted by the general public for a new Mississippi flag. Mississippi recently retired the last state banner with the Confederate battle emblem that’s widely condemned as racist. A commission will design a replacement that cannot include the Confederate symbol and must have the phrase, “In God We Trust.” The public submitted more than 1,800 proposals. The Mississippi Department of Archives and History posted those to its website Monday. By early September, commissioners will choose a single design to put on the Nov. 3 statewide ballot. 

Twenty-three pillars of light shot into a cloudy El Paso sky to commemorate the lives lost during a shooting that targeted Mexicans at a Walmart one year ago. The memorial late Sunday was visible from both sides of the US-Mexico border. People lit paper lanterns and played music in a park in a ceremony marking a year since the attack. Events to commemorate the shooting in El Paso have been reshaped by the coronavirus. The pandemic has added peril to gatherings, but hasn't stopped the largely Hispanic city of 700,000 showing unity. Later Monday, a star of lights is set to flash once for each of the victims on the mountains that overlook the city.

Virgin Orbit says it's determined what caused the failure of its debut rocket launch and is working toward a second flight that will carry small satellites for NASA. The company experienced a premature shutdown of its main rocket engine on Memorial Day moments after the launch vehicle was released from beneath the wing of a modified Boeing 747 off the Southern California coast. The investigation determined there was a breach in a high-pressure line carrying cryogenic liquid oxygen to the first-stage combustion chamber. The engine soon stopped providing thrust and the demonstration launch ended. 

Court records in Liechtenstein obtained by The Associated Press show that Claudia Díaz, who once served as a nurse for former Venezuela President Hugo Chávez, is accused of transferring millions of dollar out of the socialist country by purchasing gold bars through a shell company in the Caribbean nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. That company bought 250 gold bars that were stored in a vault in the tiny European country that has become a banking magnet for the world’s uber-rich.  Those transactions are now at the center of an international criminal investigation into the network of shell companies and dodgy Swiss bankers that have helped turn Venezuela into one of the world’s most corrupt countries.

The Legislature has passed a bill that would add Nevada to a growing list of states that will mail all active voters ballots in the November 2020 election amid the coronavirus pandemic. After the state's decision to limit the number of polling places in the June primary led to voters standing in line for hours, the bill passed Sunday requires counties open additional polling places. Gov. Steve Sisolak is expected to sign it into law. The Democratic-controlled Legislature passed the bill on a party-line vote, with Republicans dismayed with provisions that changed laws governing ballot collection.

A Virginia judge has dissolved one injunction but imposed another preventing Virginia's governor from removing an enormous statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. The new 90-day injunction bars the statue’s removal while claims in a lawsuit filed by a group of Richmond property owners are litigated. Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring has filed a pending motion to dismiss the case. Gov. Ralph Northam announced plans to remove the statue in early June, citing the pain felt across the country about the death of George Floyd.

Sorry, boomers. Millennials and their younger siblings and kids now make up a majority of the U.S. population. A new analysis by the Brookings Institution shows that 50.7% of U.S. residents were under age 40, as of July 2019. The analysis of population estimates released this summer by the U.S. Census Bureau shows that the combined Millennial, Generation Z, and younger generations numbered 166 million people.  The combined Generation X, baby boomer, and older cohorts represented 162 million U.S. residents. Millennials typically are defined as being born between 1981 and 1996. Baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964.

The Michigan Legislature has canceled this week’s session and hearings after a Lansing-area state senator tested positive for the coronavirus through screening required by his service in the Michigan Army National Guard. Republican state Sen. Tom Barrett, of Charlotte, said Sunday that he was told the results Sunday afternoon after being tested Friday. The news led the Legislature on Monday to cancel the week's session and committee hearings that had been scheduled for this week. Barrett says he tested positive despite taking “reasonable precautions.” Recent video shows him wearing a mask during several recent legislative hearings. 

The U.S. Marine Corps has identified all nine people killed when a Marine landing craft sank in hundreds of feet of water off the Southern California coast. Only one of their bodies was found, despite an intense days-long search involving helicopters and boats ranging from inflatables to a Navy destroyer. The 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit said Sunday night that the others, from California, Texas, Wisconsin and Oregon, are “presumed dead.” Their tank-like amphibious assault vehicle took on water and quickly sank to the ocean floor off San Clemente Island after a training exercise on Thursday. 

Police have arrested a suspect accused of shooting a man in the parking lot of an eastern Iowa funeral home where he was attending the funeral of his 8-year-old son, who died of cancer. The Quad-City Times says 26-year-old Jeramie Shorter, of Davenport, was shot Saturday morning outside Weerts Funeral Home in Davenport and later died. Shorter was there to attend the funeral of Jermier Leon Shorter, of St. Paul, Minnesota. A possible motive for the shooting wasn’t immediately known. Police later arrested 24-year-old Nuemonei Tre Vonne Laster, of Davenport, who appeared in court Sunday on charges of first-degree murder, eluding and weapons counts. He is being held on a $300,000 cash bond.

A popular online spoof of the children’s favorite “Goodnight Moon,” reworked for the coronavirus, will be published by Penguin Random House this fall. The Penguin imprint Philomel Books announced Monday that “Good Morning Zoom” is scheduled for Oct. 6. It's written by Lindsay Rechler and illustrated by June Park. Currently self-published, “Good Morning Zoom” takes Margaret Wise Brown’s beloved bedtime story and turns it into a narrative about Zoom, bread baking, home schooling and other familiar parts of life during the pandemic. The book’s fans include talk show host James Corden, who read from it on “The Late, Late Show.”

A federal judge from New Jersey is publicly speaking out about a shooting at her  home last month when authorities say a misogynistic lawyer killed her son and seriously wounded her husband. In a video statement issued Monday, Judge Esther Salas called for more privacy for federal judges in the wake of the July 19 attack at her home in New Brunswick. She noted that serving as judge involves “making tough calls” that sometimes leave people angry and upset. But she said judges should not have to “live in fear for our lives” because personal information, such as home addresses, can be easily obtained by anyone seeking to them or their families harm.

Ohio lawmakers are facing calls to repeal a $1 billion nuclear plant bailout that’s now entangled in a state bribery scandal. The bigger question is whether they are willing to find a new way to prop up Ohio’s financially strapped nuclear plants or will abandon the idea altogether. Republican Gov. Mike DeWine wants the Legislature to repeal the bailout and replace it. He says he still believes the plants are an important part of the state’s energy future. But some lawmakers say they don’t want to reward what federal prosecutors say was an illegal scheme behind the plants' financial rescue.

Tormented by mind-scarring memories and questions without answers, Dion Green has dedicated his life after the death of his father and eight other people in a mass shooting to memorializing them and trying to bring helpful change. Green's father died in his arms, one of nine people killed by a gunman in the early morning of Aug. 4, 2019 in Dayton, Ohio. There is a lot of frustration and disappointment as the first anniversary nears Tuesday, much of it because of the coronavirus-necessitated safety restrictions and orders that will prevent a large community commemoration. At-home activities such as a nine-minute remembrance are planned.

The dairy industry has a familiar question for you: “Got milk?” Six years after the popular tagline was retired, “Got milk?” ads are back. The dairy industry is reviving the campaign hoping to prolong the U.S. sales boost milk has gotten during the pandemic. From January through mid-July, U.S. milk retail sales were up 8.3% to $6.4 billion, according to Nielsen. During the same period last year, milk sales were down 2.3%. The dairy industry says kids are eating lunches at home and adults have more time for breakfast and cooking with milk.

A handwritten letter written by Rosa Parks recalling Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s work in the civil rights movement is on sale for $54,000. The letter, dated Oct. 6, 1981, was sent to a Mr. Kessler more than a decade after King’s assassination. In the letter, Parks writes that she admires and respects King, and calls him a great man committed to freedom and equality for oppressed people. The letter is being sold by Moments in Time. The company's CEO told AL.com it’s the only letter where he’s seen Parks mentioning King, and says it’s rare because it’s handwritten. Parks died in 2005 at age 92.

Your daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and the stories that will be talked about today:

Thousands of people remain under evacuation orders early Monday after a wildfire in mountains east of Los Angeles exploded in size and forced crews to battle flames in triple-digit heat. The fire in Riverside County has consumed more than 31 square miles of dry brush and timber. It is 5% contained. One home and two outbuildings have been destroyed. No injuries are reported. A huge smoke plume was visible for miles around and contributed to poor air quality. The National Weather Service says “dangerously hot conditions” are expected to continue. The cause of the blaze is under investigation.

New York landmark retailer Lord & Taylor has filed for bankruptcy. The company, which was sold to the French rental clothing company Le Tote Inc. last year, filed Sunday for bankruptcy protection in the Eastern Court of Virginia. Like many retailers, it was already struggling with the shift to online shopping even before the pandemic struck this spring. The company was founded as a dry goods store in 1826. Last year, it sold its flagship building on New York’s Fifth Avenue after more than a century in the 11-story building. There are several dozen Lord & Taylor stores across the country.

Isaias is near hurricane strength early Monday as it approaches the Carolinas, just a day after bands of heavy rain from the tropical storm lashed Florida's east coast as state officials dealt with surging cases of the coronavirus. Isaias weakened from a hurricane to a tropical storm Saturday but still hit Florida with heavy rain and flooding. The National Hurricane Service said Monday morning that the storm is expected to re-strengthen. It's moving toward the Carolinas with maximum sustained winds around 70 mph. Both North and South Carolina are due for up to 6 inches of rain, storm surge and possible tornadoes Monday.

MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte is reimposing a moderate lockdown in the Philippine capital and outlying provinces after medical groups appealed for the move as coronavirus infections surge alarmingly.

Black women have long been the Democratic Party’s most reliable and loyal voters, but for generations that allegiance didn’t translate to their own political rise. There have been zero Black woman governors, just two senators, several dozen congresswomen. But now Black women are mobilized and demanding an overdue return on their investment. Over the last several years and across America, Black women ran and won elections in historic numbers, from Congress to county school boards. They played an important role in Joe Biden's capture of the Democratic nomination for president, and now they have taken prominent places on his list of possible running mates.

Prosecutors plan to begin sketching out their evidence against a couple at the center of a bizarre case of two missing children whose bodies were later unearthed in rural Idaho. The preliminary hearing Monday could offer new details in a case with ties to doomsday beliefs and other mysterious deaths. It will help a judge decide if the charges against Chad Daybell will move forward in state court. He's charged with concealing evidence by destroying or hiding the bodies of 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow and 17-year-old Tylee Ryan. He married their mom, Lori Vallow Daybell, who's charged with conspiring to help keep the bodies hidden. Both have pleaded not guilty.

Parents in some states are getting their first look at a new school year as the coronavirus continues to cause upheaval in school systems around the country. Parents in Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee are among those who will be the first to navigate the new academic year as schools open up in parts of those states this week. Many school districts had offered parents a choice of at least some in-person classes or remote instruction. But an uptick in COVID-19 cases in many states has prompted school districts to scrap in-person classes at least for the start of the school year, including Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Washington.

A baby elephant has died several weeks after it was born at the St. Louis Zoo. Zoo officials say the Asian elephant calf named Avi was euthanized Sunday because he had developmental problems that limited his ability to feed. The zoo said Avi’s condition had deteriorated quickly in recent days despite feeding assistance and intravenous treatments. The calf was born July 6 to a 24-year-old Asian elephant at the zoo. The zoo’s 27-year-old bull elephant was the father. An elephant pregnancy lasts about 22 months and a calf weighs between 250 and 350 pounds at birth.  

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says President Donald Trump plans to take action on what he sees as a broad array of national security risks presented by software connected to the Chinese Communist Party. Pompeo’s remarks followed reports that Microsoft is in advanced talks to buy the U.S. operations of TikTok, which has been a source of national security and censorship concerns. Trump has said he would soon ban TikTok in the United States. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says a federal committee is reviewing whether that’s possible, and its members agree that TikTok cannot remain in the U.S. in its current form.

Kai Kahele is the only major candidate in the race to succeed U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, virtually guaranteeing he will be sworn in as Hawaii’s newest congressman in January. The Democrat is so far ahead of everyone else that he’s spent the final four months before this week’s primary on active duty with the Hawaii National Guard. He's been helping the Guard respond to the coronavirus pandemic instead of campaigning. Kahele got a head start when he said he would run for Gabbard’s seat while she campaigned for president. He became the front-runner when Gabbard later said she wouldn’t run for reelection.

Newly released documents indicate Navy officials were reluctant to reinstate former Navy SEAL and Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens in 2019 until Vice President Mike Pence’s office intervened. Greitens resigned as governor in 2018 amid a number of scandals, including campaign misconduct allegations and accusations that he took a compromising photo of a woman without her consent during a 2015 extramarital affair. Navy officials expressed reservations about Greitens rejoining the military in emails obtained by the Kansas City Star. But the objections to Greitens' service were dismissed after the vice president’s office weighed in. Pence’s office declined to comment on the report Sunday.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — SpaceX capsule with two NASA astronauts makes dramatic splashdown in Gulf of Mexico to end test flight.

Tamar Braxton is thanking her boyfriend for saving her life after her hospitalization last month. Braxton posted a lengthy message on social media late Saturday that paid tribute to David Adefeso being her “angel on earth.” She said she is grateful for Adefeso who found her “lifeless” in their home, saying it “couldn’t have been easy” for him. The R&B singer did not provide details about her hospitalization. Police have only said they responded to a medical emergency at the downtown Los Angeles high rise that she calls home. The 43-year-old Braxton called Adefeso and her 7-year-old son a priority.

Gun violence continues to plague Chicago, with eight people dead, including a 9-year-old boy, and at least 19 others wounded so far this weekend. Police say the latest fatal shooting occurred early Sunday, when two men were killed as they sat in a vehicle parked on Chicago’s West Side. Both were shot multiple times in the head. The first reported fatal shooting of the weekend occurred Friday evening, when a 9-year-old boy who was playing outside in the Cabrini-Green neighborhood was shot to death. Police say the boy wasn't the intended target. No arrests have been made in that case.

A trial is set to start for a man charged in the 2017 killing of a transgender teen whose eyes were gouged out and whose body was set on fire in southwest Missouri. Twenty-one-year-old Andrew Vrba is charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action and abandonment of a corpse in the killing of 17-year-old Ally Steinfeld. Three others have pleaded guilty and are in prison for their roles in Steinfeld’s death. Vrba had been missing for weeks when her burned remains were found in September 2017 in Cabool. Authorities say the crime wasn’t motivated by Steinfeld’s gender identity.

Thousands of people are under evacuation orders after a wildfire in mountains east of Los Angeles exploded in size as crews battle the flames in triple-digit heat. The blaze straddling Riverside and San Bernardino counties has consumed more than 23 square miles of dry brush and timber. There's zero containment. One home and two outbuildings have been destroyed. No injuries are reported. A huge smoke plume was visible for miles around and contributed to poor air quality. The National Weather Service says “dangerously hot conditions” are expected to continue. The cause of the blaze is under investigation. 

A Texas man has been charged with capital murder charge after police say he fatally stabbed his 7-year-old brother in a Fort Worth suburb. Haltom City police say officers were called to a home around 9:45 p.m. Saturday and found Jacob Gabriel Brito with multiple stab wounds. The boy was pronounced dead at a hospital. Police Chief Cody Phillips says officers found 20-year-old Isidro Brito Bruno nearby with what appeared to be a self-inflicted stab wound. He was taken to a hospital and by Sunday morning was jailed on a $250,000 bond. Jail records don't list a lawyer for him.

NEW YORK (AP) — What sort of staying power does it take for a protest movement to be judged a success?
