Midea is recalling 1.7 million air conditioning units because a drainage problem could expose consumers to mold. Water can pool in the appliance maker's U Window Air Conditioner and U+ Window Air Conditioner units, possibly leading to mold growth. Mold can cause respiratory issues and other infections. The CPSC has received at least 152 reports of mold buildup in the Midea AC units. 17 consumers experienced respiratory infections, allergic reactions, coughing and sneezing, or sore throats as a result of mold exposure. Along with the units sold in the US, nearly 46,000 were sold in Canada. The Midea products were sold under a range of brand names, including Comfort Aire, Danby, Frigidaire, Insignia, Keystone, LBG Products, Mr. Cool, Perfect Aire and Sea Breeze, according to the recall notice. A range of makes and models, measuring 22 inches wide by 14 inches high, are under recall. Midea toll-free number: (888) 345-0256. read more

A federal investigation found a Kentucky nonprofit pushed hospital workers toward surgery despite signs of revival in patients. Officials in charge of coordinating organ donations in Kentucky ignored signs of growing alertness in dozens of other potential donors. The investigation examined about 350 cases in Kentucky over the past four years in which plans to remove organs were ultimately canceled. In 73 instances, officials should have considered stopping sooner because the patients had high or improving levels of consciousness. Although the surgeries didn't happen, multiple patients showed signs of pain or distress while being readied for the procedure. The report criticized Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, which was coordinating donations in the state. Now called Network for Hope after a merger, it has said it always follows the rules and never removes organs until a hospital has declared a patient dead. read more


The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) arrested two Russian agents who detonated an IED under a prosecutor's car in the city of Dnipro on 6 June 2025. The SSU reported that the assassins were recruited by Russia through Telegram channels offering "easy money." The two agents first tracked the routes of a prosecutor's office employee. They then placed an IED in a specific location near the prosecutor's car in one of Dnipro's districts and remotely detonated the explosive. One law enforcement officer received minor injuries and the prosecutor survived; his vehicle was completely destroyed. The defendants face 12 years imprisonment. read more


  • Rep. Mike Collins (R), who is reportedly weighing a run for US Senate, said he wants to make it "more advantageous" for people to "get off of Medicaid, get off of Social Security," in an interview on XTRA 106.3. This idiotic, Henry F. Potter-like comment comes after Collins voted for the GOP budget bill that could leave 750,000 of his fellow Georgians uninsured, unlike him with the platinum healthcare benefits he receives as a Congressman.
