The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced Tuesday the recall of nearly 20 million eggs produced in Texas due to fears over Salmonella. The FDA says Midwest Poultry Services issued the voluntary recall of almost 1.6 million dozens of white-shell, brown-shell eggs and cage-free eggs "because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis." The eggs were produced and distributed from Texas farms beginning June 6 and ending July 3, with sell-by dates ranging from July 20 through August 17.
A congressional candidate from Louisiana who was the subject of a police report accusing him of rape " which he denies " says he is hoping to again "earn" Donald Trump's endorsement as he considers precisely where to run amid redistricting. The candidate, Blake Miguez, is weighing running in one of two districts, neither of which he lives in but in which he is allowed to run. He has been mulling that choice after the supreme court's landmark decision in Callais v Louisiana prompted the state to swiftly redraw its US House districts " and after he had secured the president's backing under the previous congressional map. Miguez's campaign has also had to grapple with an Atlantic report that he had not disclosed to Trump's team the existence of a 2007 rape accusation reported to local law enforcement on the same day of the alleged assault.
A Pentagon website has removed the names of four U.S. service members killed in Donald Trump's war with Iran from its list of casualties. The Defense Casualty Analysis System, a Defense Department website that keeps track of those killed during Operation Epic Fury, currently has a tally of seven "hostile" and seven "non-hostile" casualties, for a total of 14. But that's four less than the number of deaths the site had listed on Wednesday, The New York Times reported. Yet three military officials told the Times that one reason for the change was because the troops' deaths took place after Trump declared a cease fire in April.
Calling him a "thug," detestable Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville (R) brayed that NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) be arrested and sent to the infamous torture prison at Guantanamo Bay for correctly calling ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu an "architect of genocide," responsible for a series of atrocities in Gaza (~75,000 Palestinians murdered, per The Lancet UK).
Perfect message from NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D)

Sen. Mitch McConnell's extended absence has thrown a number of the Senate's top priorities into limbo. McConnell has not voted since he was hospitalized following a fall on June 14, and it's still unclear when the Kentucky Republican will return to the upper chamber. His absence has complicated the math for leadership on several key votes as Republicans continue to grapple with a slim majority and only 10 legislative weeks before the end of the year. "We're at 52" Republican votes, Majority Leader John Thune told NOTUS, versus the 53 seats the party holds in the Senate. "This is the reality."
The Justice Department told a judge it will withdraw its subpoenas for grand jury testimony and phone record records from New York Times reporters during a heated court hearing Thursday. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian grilled federal prosecutors working for the Justice Department on why it had issued subpoenas before taking further investigative steps, and questioned whether he should issue sanctions over alleged perjury in an application to a judge to secure the subpoenas.
The deal between the US and Saudi Arabia to help the Gulf kingdom develop nuclear energy is dependent on Riyadh recognising the State of Israel, President Donald Trump has said.
"The Civil Nuclear Deal (There will be no enrichment of material!)... which pertains only to non-military use... will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords," Trump said on Truth Social.
Tennessee's redraw was one of several that occurred across the South in the wake of a landmark ruling at the Supreme Court that narrowed the scope of the Voting Rights Act and eliminated race-based congressional districts.
A federal judge on Thursday sentenced Vance Boelter to two life sentences plus 40 years with no parole in the killings of former Minnesota DFL House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, and the attacks on DFL state Sen. John Hoffman, his wife Yvette and their daughter Hope. "This is truly a life sentence," Judge John Tunheim told Boelter during the hearing at the federal courthouse in Minneapolis. "I would say also that the people of Minnesota are victims of your crimes as well. Violence will never triumph over justice." Boelter pleaded guilty in June to the attacks. In sentencing memos filed earlier this week, prosecutors and Boelter's attorneys agreed to a recommendation of two life sentences plus 40 years.
PROMINENT MANOSPHERE INFLUENCERS and accused sex traffickers Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested by U.S. marshals in Miami last weekend, as they were set to host"what else?"a bare-knuckle boxing match. Video of their arrest, which quickly went viral, showed Andrew Tate dressed in clamdigger pants and an unusual purple shirt unbuttoned down almost to his navel. But maybe the most surprising thing is that it happened on American soil at all. That's because, despite years of accusations involving rape and sex trafficking, the Tates have enjoyed a strangely close relationship with Trump world that seems to have extended to preferential treatment from the government.
Nearly two-thirds of Americans feel "dissatisfied" or "upset" with President Donald Trump's projects remaking the look of Washington, according to a new poll from The Washington Post released on Thursday.
Quoidbach et al. elicited estimates of people's personality, values, and choices and compared how much, for instance, 33-year-olds believed that they would change in the next 10 years with how much 43-year-olds reported that they had changed in the past 10 years. For groups spanning 18 to 68 years of age, people of all ages described more change in the past 10 years than they would have predicted 10 years ago. Read more
The majority of immigration officers who faced charges were accused of sex offenses or crimes against children.
Confidence is essential in combat, but swagger is dangerous because it tempts leaders into believing they already know what will happen, or how a battle or war will end. The enemy always gets a vote. Swagger may energize political supporters and produce memorable television clips, but it is not strategy. Strategy begins with a clear understanding of the enemy, realistic assessments of what military force can accomplish, and enough humility to recognize that wars rarely unfold according to plan. More than two decades after learning that lesson in southern Iraq, I still remind myself never to predict the outcome of a war while the enemy is still fighting. Secretary Hegseth and President Trump would be well served to remember that lesson today. Read more
"Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" does not apply to nearly one in four US workers (24%) who suffer from "job lock." Approximately 23m Americans stay unhappily in their current job, even though they want to leave, because they are afraid of losing their health insurance.
Medical debt crushing Americans
