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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

That money was disbursed to Carroll from a court-controlled escrow account on July 9. But the president's legal team is seeking an emergency injunction that would order Carroll to return the payment to the account in the hopes that the Supreme Court will grant him a legal Hail Mary and reverse the judgment, sending the money back to him. That payment to Carroll " more than three years after the jury's verdict " "should have been the end of this case," her lawyers said. "But Defendant now demands yet another unprecedented remedy. ...
