Summary

Today on Post Reports, Kim Bellware is following protests in Kenosha, Wis., where a Black man was shot multiple times by police. Columnist Eugene Robinson on the civil rights moment we’re in, and why we need Black Lives Matter. Elise Viebeck reports on how voting by mail went in the primaries. And, deputy weather editor Andrew Freedman on what happens when you’re dealing with climate change, a pandemic and a Category 4 hurricane.

Opinion: We need Black Lives Matter. The police who shot Jacob Blake prove it.

More than 500,000 mail ballots were rejected in the primaries. That could make the difference in battleground states this fall.

Hurricane Laura struck Louisiana as a Category 4 storm. Read live updates here.
