WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump plans to unveil a $22 billion plan to rebuild Washington Dulles airport, the latest in a series of major projects he announced in the U.S. capital region, sources told Reuters. Trump, who will be joined by United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy at the White House, has been pushing for a massive rebuilding of the airport that is the main international gateway for the national capital region. The plan is expected to include four new concourses. Duffy in May confirmed the federal government planned a $22 billion overhaul of Dulles. The White House and United did not immediately comment. United is the largest carrier at Dulles handling about 70% of the traffic. On February 25, Trump held a meeting on the airport's future that included Kirby, where the CEO pitched the idea of a merger with American Airlines . Kirby said he was dropping his pursuit of American in April. In ?December, Trump said he has a new design in mind for Dulles "because it's not a good airport. ?It ?should be a great airport... They have a great building and a bad airport." Critics say Dulles needs modernization and gripe about slow vehicles that transport passengers across the tarmac, which are expected to be phased out as part of the overhaul. USDOT in December criticized the "jet fuel smell in the concourses" and the "paltry" number of gates in ?the main terminal. The airport ?is operated by ?the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority under a 50-year lease approved by Congress. MWAA did not comment. In 2025, the airport authority ?approved a master capital plan to spend at least $7 billion overhauling ?Dulles in coming ?years. One open question is how the reconstruction will be funded and how much will add to the cost of flights per passenger. The airport, about 25 miles (40 km) from the U.S. capital, opened in 1962 and had a record year in 2025, handling 29 million total passengers, up 6.4%. This fall, it ?will ?get a new 435,000-square-foot (40,412-square-meter), 14-gate concourse serving United customers. Finnish ?architect Eero Saarinen designed the airport's terminal building, a distinctive structure with a sloping roof that sweeps up toward ?the sky on opposite sides.

July 29 (Reuters) - Michigan health officials reported 10,077 cases of cyclosporiasis on Wednesday, an increase of 397 cases since their last update a day earlier. An investigation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has linked the outbreak to iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell restaurants sourced from privately held Taylor Farms operations in central Mexico, but authorities are still looking for other potential sources given the size of the outbreak. Consumers in the U.S. have been steering clear of some restaurant chains and buying less lettuce in grocery stores as a ?multistate outbreak of a parasitic disease has fueled confusion over what is safe to eat. Michigan's health department has reported 160 hospitalizations as of July 23, but no deaths. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has received reports of 6,707 laboratory-confirmed domestic cases of cyclosporiasis, and said it was aware of more than 11,500 additional cases that are not laboratory confirmed or require further investigation across 45 states. Health officials have said ?they are investigating additional potential sources of infection. In North Carolina, parsley and cilantro were commonly identified ingredients among people who fell ill, though there could be multiple ?sources of exposure, according to the state's health department. Cyclosporiasis, caused by the cyclospora parasite, can be contracted by consuming food — typically raw fruits and vegetables — or water contaminated with feces.

Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment over 100 times on Wednesday and declined to answer questions from senators in a Republican-led committee hearing about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky subpoenaed Fauci to appear before a Senate committee Wednesday. It’s part of Paul’s yearslong accusations that the now-retired infectious disease expert had lied about the pandemic, something Fauci has called “preposterous.” Paul closed the hearing by saying lawmakers will vote next week on whether to hold the now-retired infectious-disease expert in contempt for refusing to testify.

WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) - The United States on Wednesday issued another round of Iran-related sanctions, taking aim at Iran's efforts to "monetize the Strait of Hormuz" with designations of 10 entities and eight more tankers, the U.S. Treasury Department said. Six of the entities targeted for sanctions were based in China, it said. The sanctions followed a vow by U.S. President Donald Trump earlier on Wednesday to hit Iran hard, according to an interview with Fox News, after the U.S. military said it had intercepted multiple ballistic missiles launched by Iran toward American forces in the Middle East. The United States and Saudi Arabia jointly struck Iran-backed ?groups in Iraq on Wednesday. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control designated two firms, the Persian Gulf Marine Insurance Co and HormuzSafe Marine Services Authority, which it said were integral to an Iranian scheme to extract digital assets and other revenue from ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz through various insurance policies. “With its economy in freefall and inflation in the triple digits, the regime is desperate for cash,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. “The United States will not allow Iran to hold global commerce hostage or use international shipping to finance the IRGC’s terrorism, aggression, and repression,” Bessent said, referring to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The new sanctions are part of a broader push by the Trump administration to leverage both economic tools and military strikes to intensify pressure on Iran and end a deeply unpopular war that has dragged Trump's approval ratings lower. "The Iran war demonstrates that this administration will use U.S. economic and military power in concert," said Jess Hoversen, a former OFAC official who is now chief economist at Column, a digital platform bank. OFAC has moved quickly to designate maritime logistics, currency exchange infrastructure, and procurement networks, even as the U.S. military has increased its strikes, she said. "Treasury is moving at an operational tempo, and combining military strikes with targeted sanctions could be a template for future conflicts," Hoversen said. Since the start of 2026, OFAC has sanctioned over 100 vessels linked to Iran's shadow fleet, which has been used to keep oil revenue flowing despite international sanctions.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Sen. Lindsey Graham is being buried in South Carolina, where a funeral in the state capital is drawing people who remember him as the son of pool hall owners who never forgot his roots. The Republican powerbroker was eulogized Tuesday in Washington by the president and other national leaders. Wednesday's funeral is featuring mourners who recall how he knew every mayor, went to many state festivals and helped any local Republican he could. The senator died suddenly on July 11 in Washington, likely from an aortic tear. He was 71. Now his sister is holding his seat and being challenged by eight other Republicans in a special primary.

CAIRO (AP) — Iran has launched a barrage of missiles at American forces in the Middle East. The U.S., meanwhile, partnered with Saudi Arabia on Wednesday to strike Iran-backed militias in neighboring Iraq, killing at least 20 fighters. Iraqi militia officials said six Iranian advisers were also killed in the U.S.-Saudi strikes. The flare-up after several days of relative calm raised the risk of a return to all-out war. It also underscored the difficulty of winding down a five-month conflict that has jolted the world economy and is deeply unpopular among Americans. Saudi Arabia had accused the Iraqi militias of firing drones against its oil facilities.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve left its key interest rate unchanged Wednesday despite persistently high inflation and a spike in energy prices caused by the Iran war. The Fed’s rate-setting committee reached the 9-3 decision after two days of deliberations, marking the fifth straight meeting at which the benchmark rate was kept at around 3.6%. Dissenting in favor of a quarter-point interest rate hike were Beth Hammack, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland; Neel Kashkari, president of the Minneapolis Fed; and Lorie Logan, president of the Dallas Fed. Inflation has been stuck above the central bank’s 2% target for more than five years.

In part two of this conversation, Chuck Swindoll reflects on more than six decades of ministry, sharing what he wishes he had done differently. He talks about learning to say yes sooner, encourage others more often, criticize less, and involve his wife, Cynthia, as a true ministry partner much earlier in life. Chuck also discusses the four temptations every pastor faces—sloth, silver, self, and sex—and explains why the need for vigilance never disappears, even at 85. Greg asks Chuck what passage he would preach if he had only one sermon left to give. His answer centers on the message of God's grace—freely given through Christ, undeserved and available to all who believe. Along the way, Chuck shares memories of mentors from Dallas Theological Seminary, reflects on the value of memorized hymns, addresses the rise of antisemitism, and speaks candidly about caring for Cynthia as she lives with dementia. The conversation closes with Chuck offering a heartfelt prayer over Greg, his family, and his ministry.

Newly released audio recordings appear to show former President Joe Biden discussing classified information with a biographer and at times describing memory lapses during interviews conducted before the 2020 presidential election. The recordings were made public after Biden lost a prolonged legal battle to keep the conversations private. The interviews were conducted as part of work on a memoir and include discussions about his time as vice president, personal recollections and documents he retained after leaving office. According to the released recordings and transcripts, Biden appears to acknowledge retaining some classified material while also referencing moments when he struggled to recall certain dates and events. Supporters argue the recordings lack important context, while critics say they raise new questions about his handling of sensitive information. The release is expected to intensify political debate over Biden's handling of classified documents and the federal investigation that followed.

Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during a Republican-led Senate hearing Wednesday, refusing to answer questions about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The now-retired infectious disease expert was subpoenaed by Sen. Rand Paul, who has been among Fauci's most vocal critics and has repeatedly accused him of misleading Congress about the origins of the coronavirus. Fauci has consistently denied those allegations. The hearing is part of an ongoing effort by some congressional Republicans to further investigate the federal government's pandemic response and pursue potential legal action against Fauci. His decision to invoke the Fifth Amendment added a dramatic turn to the proceedings and is expected to fuel continued political debate over the government's handling of COVID-19. President Donald Trump also weighed in, saying he believed Fauci made poor decisions regarding mask guidance and widespread shutdowns during the pandemic.

The teenager responsible for the deadly 2024 mass shooting at Georgia's Apalachee High School has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Sixteen-year-old Colt Gray pleaded guilty to murder and other charges stemming from the September 2024 attack, which killed two students and two teachers and injured several others. Gray was just 14 years old when he carried out the shooting. During sentencing, prosecutors said Gray had researched previous mass shootings and studied other attackers before planning the assault. The case drew national attention because of Gray's age and renewed calls for stronger school safety measures. The life sentence brings one of the most closely watched school shooting cases in recent years to a close, though investigations into the circumstances leading up to the attack have continued.
