A wildfire near Reno, Nevada, led authorities to urge tens of thousands of residents to evacuate on Monday. Firefighters responded to the blaze as it spread through the area. In Washington, the Supreme Court issued a decision that cleared the way for President Trump's executive order restricting mail-in voting to move forward. The order addresses specific procedures for casting ballots by mail. Separately, the Pentagon reported a military action in the eastern Pacific. Officials stated that forces struck a boat, resulting in the deaths of two individuals. The Pentagon accused these individuals of trafficking drugs.
