WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina is back — as Ted Cruz's running mate.

DETROIT (AP) — The U.S. Attorney's office has charged 14 people in school supply kickback schemes in Detroit.

A long-time vendor also is charged.
HONOLULU (AP) — A church in Hawaii says it's found one way to address the state's ongoing homelessness crisis: igloos. First Assembly of God in Honolulu says the dome-shaped structures are made of fiberglass, and the interior keeps about 10-15 degrees cooler when the hot sun is blazing down. Church officials plan to order a dozen homes, each of which can house four people, and erect them on the windward side of Oahu on land the church had planned to use as a cabin retreat for its members.
