Wednesday Briefing: Highlights include Barack and Michelle Obama at the DNC, RFK Jr. news, record heat in the Southern U.S., Jennifer Lopez's divorce, and more.

 Sure! Here’s a rewritten version:

Last Night: The former president and first lady shared their hopeful vision with Kamala Harris while taking jabs at Donald Trump. Republicans joined in the criticism, and a rapper nearly stole the spotlight.

Today: Tim Walz, Harris’s running mate, is set to headline Day 3 in Chicago alongside former president Bill Clinton and former House speaker Nancy Pelosi. You can find the full schedule here.

2. Trump falsely accused Harris of being involved in a “violent” coup.

What he said: He claimed she orchestrated a “vicious, violent overthrow” of President Joe Biden. While campaigning in Michigan yesterday, he also defended the January 6 rioters.

In Chicago: His former press secretary remarked at the Democratic convention that Trump had belittled his supporters as “basement dwellers.”

Other election updates: Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) won his primary, overcoming the backlash from former speaker Kevin McCarthy. Meanwhile, RFK Jr.’s running mate expressed their desire to assist Trump.

3. The South is facing record-breaking heat.

According to the HeatRisk outlook from government forecasters, much of western Texas is bracing for several days of extreme heat. The National Weather Service and CDC provide this data.

What’s happening? A slow-moving heat dome has caused relentless heat across the Desert Southwest and Texas, expected to persist throughout the week.

The numbers: Highs could reach 110 degrees in parts of New Mexico and Texas, while Phoenix continues its record streak of days over 100, hitting 112 degrees on Monday.

4. The Justice Department will investigate alleged abuse at a Tennessee prison.

What to know: Federal authorities launched a civil rights investigation yesterday following reports of murders, sexual abuse, and other violence at Tennessee’s largest correctional facility.

Digging deeper: The Trousdale Turner Correctional Center, which opened in 2016, is one of at least four Tennessee state prisons operated by the private company, CoreCivic.

5. Disney will not use streaming service fine print to contest a wrongful-death lawsuit.

What happened? The company argued that a man was barred from suing after his wife died from an allergic reaction at Disney World last October due to having signed online terms of service for a Disney Plus free trial. However, Disney announced on Monday that it would change its approach.

6. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are splitting up again.

What happened? Lopez reportedly filed for divorce in Los Angeles yesterday, just two years after their 2022 wedding. We reflected on the powerhouse couple, known as “Bennifer,” here.

Looking back: This breakup follows more than two decades since the celebrity co-stars first dated and separated, lasting about 3½ years this time.

7. An elite rock climber who lost his vision has adapted to climb blind.

The Post's international investigative correspondent, Kevin Sieff, traveled to Morocco to meet one of the few elite blind rock climbers in the world.

Who? Jesse Dufton, 38, became completely blind due to a degenerative eye condition, but that hasn’t prevented him from tackling some of the toughest climbing routes globally.

How does he do it? Guided by his partner, Molly Thompson, who uses a headset to describe the terrain to him, the Post recently observed his daring ascent.
