Cyclospora Outbreak: What You Need to Know | California News

A new cyclospora outbreak is underway, with federal officials racing to trace the contaminated food source—no product has been confirmed yet. This isn’t the first time: a major 2023 outbreak tied to Taylor Farms’ iceberg lettuce from central Mexico sickened thousands. Cyclospora, a microscopic parasite, causes severe diarrhea and gut distress—washing won’t kill it; cooking will. The CDC reports 1,600+ confirmed cases since May, with hundreds hospitalized, but state data like Michigan’s 7,000+ cases suggest the true toll is far higher. Many cases go unreported, so stay alert and cook your produce thoroughly. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

House Limits Trump’s Iran War Powers | California News

The House narrowly voted to force President Trump to seek congressional approval before using U.S. troops against Iran, with four Republicans joining Democrats in a 214-208 win. The resolution challenges the administration’s claim that a ceasefire reset the War Powers clock and argues the law remains valid. Democrats are pushing back hard to reassert congressional authority, while the White House seeks $67 billion to fund the conflict and $1.5 trillion for the Pentagon. Meanwhile, the Senate blocked a similar effort, revealing deep partisan divides—even within the GOP—over how to handle the escalating crisis.
