Michigan Reports Two Deaths In Ongoing Cyclosporiasis Outbreak

Aug 3 (Reuters) - Two deaths have been identified as part of a cyclosporiasis outbreak affecting Michigan, the state's health department said on Monday. Both individuals had significant underlying health conditions that may have been impacted by cyclosporiasis and dehydration, according to medical records. No additional information will be provided on these two cases, the department said. Cyclosporiasis is generally not a life-threatening illness. Death resulting from cyclosporiasis is uncommon in the United States. Cases of the intestinal infection caused by the cyclospora parasite, which can cause diarrhea, nausea and other gastrointestinal symptoms, have risen steadily across the United States in recent months, according to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Michigan health officials reported 11,234 cases linked to an outbreak of cyclosporiasis, an increase of 461 cases since its last update on Friday. The outbreak in Michigan has resulted in 193 hospitalizations, as of July 30, the state health department's latest update said. Nationwide, the CDC has recorded 6,707 laboratory-confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis as of July 28, with more than 11,500 additional suspected cases still awaiting confirmation or further investigation. The Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately respond to Reuters request for comment.

Idaho Shooting Leaves 3 Dead, 7 Injured; Suspect Dead

TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) — Investigators are trying to determine what led a 24-year-old man to open fire at an Idaho fast-food restaurant over the weekend, in an attack that left three people dead and seven others wounded before authorities say he killed himself. Police Chief Matthew Hicks said Sunday that investigators are confident that the gunman, identified as Chad Williams, acted alone in the shooting Saturday at an In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls. Hicks says an off-duty state trooper and a civilian fired on the attacker and diverted him from the restaurant. He also says Williams’ family is cooperating fully with the investigation.

Federal Judge Lets DHS Proceed With Border Wall Through Small Texas Town’s Levee System

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that the Department of Homeland Security can proceed with building a border wall through a levee system in a small Texas town. This decision supports the Trump administration’s efforts to construct a $46 billion wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The town of Presidio, with about 3,200 residents, argued the wall could cause flooding and that legal procedures were not followed. DHS has waived many regulations to speed up construction, and claims it has the authority to bypass the rules. The town’s development district said Monday it was “very disappointed that the court will allow this potentially disastrous construction to continue” but that it remains "committed to protecting the Big Bend area and those who rely on the threatened levees.”

Broken Heart Syndrome

M and M Extra: Broken Heart Syndrome

We get philosophical today about a phenomenon that always stops us in our tracks: elderly couples dying just days apart. Is it God calling them home together, or the simply death caused by extreme grief? Science calls it "broken heart syndrome"—a real condition triggered by intense emotional loss . But we've all heard the stories: the couple married 60 years, and within 72 hours of one passing, the other follows. It's heartbreaking, it's mysterious, and it makes you wonder about the power of love.

FBI Investigates As Michigan Joins Minnesota In Reporting Cyberattacks

Michigan has joined Minnesota in reporting cyberattacks on water systems but an official said all were operating “safely.” Earlier this week, authorities said cyberattacks targeted over 30 water systems in Minnesota. The source of the attacks is being investigated, but they came amid warnings that Iranian hackers have been focused on such systems.

Senate Leaders Reach Funding Deal To Avoid Shutdown During Campaign Season

WASHINGTON (AP) — Key senators have unveiled a short-term spending bill to avoid a government shutdown during the middle of campaign season. The bill unveiled Sunday would keep federal agencies funded past the midterm elections, through Dec. 11. The Senate is likely to vote on the measure before leaving Washington at the end of the week for its traditional August recess. Many lawmakers want to spend the coming weeks shoring up their reelection prospects rather than working in the nation’s capital. By extending government funding now, lawmakers can use the ensuing months to work out their differences on funding for the full year.

Justice Department Drops Case Against Former Olympian Charged With Damaging Reflecting Pool

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department has moved to dismiss a criminal case charging a former Olympian with deliberately damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Government lawyers said in a 20-page court filing Friday evening that information provided since the indictment of David Hearn shows that the damage was the result of a “flawed installation by the contractor” as well as “the rush to complete the project prior to events associated with the America 250 celebration in the weeks surrounding Independence Day 2026.” Hearn’s lawyers say the case against him should never have been brought.

Trump Calls Iran Duplicitous, Claims Talks Are Underway

Posting on Truth Social Monday morning, President Donald Trump gave an update on negotiations with Iran to end the conflict. "Iranian Leadership is unbelievably duplicitous! They ask for a meeting, some would say “beg,” talks begin, with more scheduled in the immediate future, and they say, openly and proudly, that they’re not having any discussions, that nothing is being talked about, and they’re only dealing with “Oman.” They then go on to give their usual blather in saying, the Strait of Hormuz will be operated powerfully by them, when it is already completely controlled by the United States Navy and our “Blockade” or, as some say, “The United States Wall of Steel!” Nothing gets through to Iran, unless we want it to, and nothing will get through, unless a Deal, or Total Surrender, is accomplished. Whether Iran wants to admit it or not, we are, in fact, talking of a solution to a problem that they have caused, for decades. It is very simple, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP."
