• Do not pass Go, Google. In a landmark decision, a federal judge ruled Google has illegally maintained a monopoly, citing the tech giant’s arrangements to be the default search engine on nearly every phone and computer. Google, which may eventually be forced to sell part of its business, plans to appeal, saying it achieved dominance by offering “the best search engine.”

• Hurricane Debby has been quite the downer. The slow-moving storm made landfall as a Category 1, dumping a month's worth of rain on Florida and forcing treacherous evacuations. At least five people have died. Debby has weakened to a tropical storm but is expected to drop 30 inches of rain on coastal South Carolina and Georgia this week.

• Five U.S. troops were wounded in a suspected rocket attack on a base in Iraq Monday. The attack, which Pentagon leaders called “a dangerous escalation,” may be related to Iran’s promise to avenge the top Hamas leader killed in Tehran last Wednesday. Israel hasn't taken responsibility for the assassination but is bracing for Iran’s retaliation.

• Simone Biles bid adieu to Paris with silver on floor, with teammate Jordan Chiles landing a dramatic bronze. Cole Hocker ran to 1500m gold (and an Olympic record); the USWNT is headed to the gold medal match; and LeBron and Co. are “Final Four” bound. Meanwhile, 9,751 miles away in French Polynesia’s Tahiti, American Caroline Marks surfed to gold. 

• Deadpool and Wolverine are continuing their run as super-est anti-hero and top dog at the box office. The latest star-studded release from Marvel is leading the pack as the highest-grossing domestic R-rated film of all time. Deadpool & Wolverine enjoyed the second biggest opening so far this year, topped only by the beloved cast of emotions in Disney-Pixar’s Inside Out 2.
