Police: 4 dead in a San Antonio crash involving a bus and a stolen vehicle
Several people fled the stolen Camaro without stopping to help, including at least one who was armed, police said. Police Chief William McManus said children and older people were among the injured. The Camaro struck a trailer attached to the bus, causing the bus driver to lose control of the vehicle, which then bounced into a guardrail.
A tractor-trailer then smashed into the bus, which rolled onto its side. Several people were ejected from the bus, police said. Police said the people who fled the Camaro have not been located or identified.

Trump Signs Order to Justify 50% Tariffs on Brazil
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday to impose his threatened 50 percent tariffs on Brazil, setting a legal rationale that Brazil's policies and criminal prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro constitute an economic emergency under a 1977 law. Trump had threatened the tariffs July 9 in a letter to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. But the legal basis of that threat was an earlier executive order premised on trade imbalances being a threat to the US economy. But America ran a 6.8 billion trade surplus last year with Brazil according to the US Census Bureau. A statement by the White House said Brazil's judiciary had tried to coerce social media companies and block their users though it did not name the companies involved X and Rumble. Trump appears to identify with Bolsonaro, who attempted to overturn the results of his 2022 loss to Lula. Similarly, Trump was indicted in 2023 for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 US presidential election. Also Wednesday, Trump's Treasury Department announced sanctions on Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes over alleged suppression of freedom of expression and Bolsonaro's ongoing trial. De Moraes oversees the criminal case against Bolsonaro, who is accused of masterminding a plot to stay in power despite his 2022 defeat. On July 18, the State Department announced visa restrictions on Brazilian judicial officials, including de Moraes.

Hoffa legend endures 50 years after ex-Detroit union leader's disappearance
It was September 2012, and dozens of residents looked on as police cordoned off the area around a shed just northeast of Detroit. Low whispers about what – or who – officers were searching for grew to more excited chatter when the name Jimmy Hoffa started floating around the normally quiet street. By that time, the name had become sort of mythical in and around Detroit. Wednesday marks 50 years since the iron-fisted former Teamsters union boss disappeared from a restaurant about 10 miles (16 kilometers) north of the city. Presumed dead long before being legally declared deceased in 1982, Hoffa's remains were not found beneath the concrete shed floor in Roseville in 2012. Nor were they uncovered eight years earlier below floorboards in a Detroit house. Neither were they found in 2013 at a horse farm miles northwest of the city. In 2013, digging equipment found mostly dirt as authorities excavated a field in Oakland Township about 25 miles (40 kilometers) north of Detroit. And no signs of Hoffa were found in 2022 during a search of land beneath the Pulaski Skyway in New Jersey. Who was Jimmy Hoffa? Hoffa, the son of a coal miner who died when he was 7, was born in Brazil, Indiana, but moved with his mother to Detroit while still a boy. He quit school at 14 and went to work, landing a job on a grocery warehouse loading dock. In 1932, Hoffa led a workers strike over poor labor conditions and unfair treatment of workers by the store, according to a post about him on the International Brotherhood of Teamsters website. He joined the union a year later and became a business agent for Local 299 in Detroit, the website said. Hoffa was elected the local's president in 1937 and would become a union organizer. He often found himself on the other end of the law. In 1937, he was convicted of assault and battery. In 1940, he pleaded no contest to charges of conspiring with unionized waste-paper companies to prevent non-union competitors from selling their products. Seven years later, he was arrested for attempted extortion. Each time, Hoffa only received fines. He continued to rise in the union's ranks. From 1957 to 1971, he served as the Teamsters general president. Hoffa had a history of associating with organized crime. In the late 1960s, he was convicted of fraud, conspiracy, and jury tampering. He was sent to federal prison in 1967. President Richard Nixon commuted Hoffa's 13-year sentence in 1971. On July 30, 1975, Hoffa, now 62, was to meet reputed Detroit mob enforcer Anthony 'Tony Jack' Giacalone and alleged New Jersey mob figure Anthony 'Tony Pro' Provenzano at the Machus Red Fox restaurant in Oakland County's Bloomfield Township. Hoffa called his wife, Josephine, about 2:15 p.m. from a pay phone to tell her no one showed up for the meeting. He has not been seen or heard from since, despite scores of tips and multiple searches spanning several states. A grand jury later was convened in Detroit, but no one ever has been directly charged in Hoffa's disappearance or death. From missing to legendary: 'I think it confirms in my mind ... somebody did a pretty good hit job on him,' Wayne State University educator Marick Masters said of Hoffa. Masters, professor emeritus at the university's Mike Ilitch School of Business in Detroit, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Hoffa was considering getting back into Teamsters leadership at the time of his disappearance. 'He still obviously was very much passionately involved in the union, and he wanted to find a way of moving forward in it,' Masters said. 'Whatever the circumstances were, he was tragically prevented from doing that.' Hoffa was inducted into Labor's International Hall of Fame in 1999, according to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which refers to Hoffa on its website as a 'worker's hero.' 'He was viewed as a very passionate champion of the Teamsters,' Masters said. 'On the other hand, he had problematic associations which besmirched the image of organized labor. He was a very controversial figure. He was capable of accomplishing things and also capable of having associations that raised questions about his integrity.'
