The biggest-ever cyclospora outbreak in the U.S. still shows no signs of slowing down. Michigan has now recorded 10,077 cases, and at least 160 people have been hospitalized. The state, which usually only has about 50 cases a year, was the first to publicly identify iceberg lettuce as the possible culprit spreading Cyclospora cayetanensis, the parasite that causes watery diarrhea or other gastrointestinal issues associated with cyclosporiasis. "Past outbreaks have generally been smaller, and the source has been identified faster." Hamer believes several factors are to blame " including recent cuts to federal funding for outbreak response and surveillance, the theory that there is more than one outbreak underway, and the prevalence of leafy greens on dining-room tables in the summer months.


President Trump on Sunday said that he is "not looking to kill people" as he seeks a deal with Iran, telling reporters that negotiations with Iranian officials are set for Monday. Trump told reporters on Air Force One that the latest round of talks was orchestrated by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. He said the U.S. had "an attack planned that would have been the biggest attack since World War II" on Iran before the Gulf countries reached out to the U.S. "We're ready to go any time we want," he said about the potential for the U.S. striking back at Iran.

It's a tough Sunday for the "Trump can't ..." crowd. For months, the mainstream media pounced on President Donald J. Trump, claiming he was physically washed up and incapable of even swinging a golf club. But on Sunday, No. 47 walked onto one of the toughest championship courses in the country, fired a 70, took the Senior Division title, and captured what he said was his 40th club championship title.

Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA): "We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Dummkopf Trumpf because he made that promise. But he's betrayed us all. Our commitment is America First for all Americans, right, left, and center. The movement has begun."

AIPAC obviously funds genocide and Islamophobic foreign wars using American taxpayer dollars which this circle intends to fight


President Donald Trump went on a posting spree on Truth Social on Saturday, sharing AI-generated images of him doing everything from arresting extraterrestrials to kissing a statue of Jesus Christ. Trump went on Truth Social on Saturday to insist the United States is winning the Iran war and lash out at Jeannine Pirro after the U.S. Attorney in Washington D.C. dropped criminal charges against an Olympian accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. He also posted a number of strange memes that ran all over the place. One image was of him kissing a golden statue of Jesus.

Trump said on Friday it'd be a good bet to say the United States will have "operational control" of Greenland before the end of his second term.

On July 28, 2026, a Republican-led Senate committee questioned Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a leading face of the U.S. government's COVID-19 response, over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the hearing, Fauci declined to answer by invoking his Fifth Amendment rights more than 100 times. The Fifth Amendment protects people from answering self-incriminating questions. In a November 2022 decision to appoint a court monitor to oversee the Trump family businesses during his civil fraud trial, a judge wrote (PDF Page 9) that Trump invoked "his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination more than 400 times in response to questions posed to him during his deposition." Trump and his defense team did not appear to contest that statement.

In a recent Politico poll, 66 percent of MAGA voters who cast their ballot for President Trump in his last contest for the White House said they would back a GOP candidate even if "a former partner has accused the Republican candidate of sexual assault" rather than support the Democratic candidate in a hypothetical congressional race. MAGA voters showing support for a Republican candidate alleged to have committed sexual misconduct is not new. In fact, in May 2023, a jury found that Trump himself sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll in the mid-1990s.

Democratic Socialist Oliver Larkin, who is running to represent Florida's 25th District, blasted President Donald Trump as a "pedophile president" Thursday on Fox News. Larkin was asked by Fox News @ Night anchor Trace Gallagher why he is socialist. "Well, Democratic Socialism is about bringing the systems of government that govern our lives under democratic control. We already pay a Medicare tax, why don't we all have access to Medicare? We already pay into Social Security, why are the wealthy and elite getting away with paying a lower effective tax late on Social Security than the rest of us, with the social security income cap? So the capitalist system in the United States of America, we've seen the great recession, we've seen the enormous transfers of wealth under covid-19 and we want equity in our system," he answered.
