Iran also has stepped up its threats to further expand the strikes, drawing a warning overnight from the United Arab Emirates. \n\n\n\nKuwait and Bahrain again activated air defenses Sunday morning as they warned of incoming Iranian drones and missiles.\n\n\n\nLatest U.S. strikes come after troops killed\n\n\n\nThe U.S. military’s Central Command in its statement also said it hit “Iranian military coastal surveillance and air defense facilities, maritime capabilities and missile and drone storage sites.” It said the attack was designed to degrade Iran’s ability to control the Strait of Hormuz and “swiftly punish Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces,” a key power base in Iran’s theocracy that controls its ballistic missile arsenal.\n\n\n\nFootage released by the U.S. military appeared to show strikes carried out by fighter jets and by Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from sea. One target site appeared to be in a valley of a mountainous region. The Guard often has missile bases and other military equipment tucked into mountain ranges. \n\n\n\nIran has provided no overall information on its materiel losses in the American campaign, which now is in its eighth day as the nations vie over control of the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which a fifth of all oil and natural gas traded passes in peacetime.\n\n\n\nAn Iranian attack on a base in Jordan killed two American service members, left one missing and four requiring hospitalization, the U.S. military said. \n\n\n\nSince the war began, 16 U.S. service members have been killed and over 430 wounded.\n\n\n\nIranian authorities said Saturday that at least 50 people have been killed and more than 500 wounded in the latest U.S. strikes. \n\n\n\nIran has provided no overall information on its materiel losses in the American campaign, which is now in its eighth day as the nations vie over control of the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which a fifth of all oil and natural gas traded passes in peacetime.\n\n\n\nIran’s atomic energy agency said that U.S. strikes early on Sunday morning targeted a construction site of a planned nuclear power plant in southwest Iran, according to Iranian state television.\n\n\n\nSatellite images from Planet Labs PBC of the planned site of the Darkhovin Nuclear Power Plant show earth clearing but very little construction having taken place there as of July 9. There is no radiological material known to be at the site, which Iran had not previously announced as targeted throughout the war.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWar with Iran\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t20 hours ago\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tU.S. military launches new airstrikes to ‘punish' Iran for deaths of U.S. troops\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIran\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 15\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump announces release of U.S. citizen held in Iran since 2024\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nNearly every Gulf Arab state has been targeted by Iran for retaliatory strikes\n\n\n\nKuwait said on Sunday that one of the country’s power and water desalination plants was attacked for the second time in two days, causing fires. Its Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy said that the power grid remains stable, yet the attack marked the latest instance in which strikes — by both the United States and Iran — have targeted civilian infrastructure relied on by millions of people.\n\n\n\nIn Kuwait, about 90% of drinking water comes from desalination.\n\n\n\nThe attacks in Kuwait and Bahrain were the latest reported by U.S. allies in the Persian Gulf as well as in Jordan.\n\n\n\nIran has over the past week refrained from striking Israel — which has stayed out of this round of fighting — or the United Arab Emirates, a regional military power.\n\n\n\nThe semiofficial Iranian news agency Fars, believed to be close to the Guard, issued a threat against the UAE late on Saturday. Quoting an anonymous official, Fars said that continued strikes on Iranian civilian infrastructure would mean that the “airports of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, as well as the ports of Fujairah and Jebel Ali, must be immediately evacuated.”\n\n\n\nApparently responding to the threat, the Emirates’ Foreign Ministry issued a statement calling “for exercising the utmost restraint in order to avoid dangerous repercussions and the region being pulled into new levels of violence and instability.”\n\n\n\nDuring the Iran war, officials say both the UAE and Saudi Arabia carried out retaliatory airstrikes against Tehran for targeting their nations.\n\n\n\nThe secretary-general of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council, Jasem Mohamed al-Budaiwi, accused Iran of war crimes for strikes on infrastructure and civilian facilities. International humanitarian law generally protects civilian infrastructure, such as bridges and power plants, from attack, but such sites can lose these protections if used for military purposes. In such cases, attacks must be proportionate and minimize harm to civilians.\n\n\n\nCampaign comes as Strait of Hormuz remains key to conflict\n\n\n\nTrump has threatened to target Iran’s power stations and bridges to try to compel Tehran to loosen its hold on the Strait of Hormuz. Recent attacks suggest the U.S. military is carrying out that plan, beginning first with coastal areas of Iran on the strait.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. in the past week also reimposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports to halt its shipments of crude oil, and the military on Saturday said it had redirected five ships and disabled one since then.\n\n\n\nIran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, in a statement Saturday, warned of “unforgettable lessons” if the U.S. keeps attacking the Islamic Republic. An Iranian negotiator said Tehran was suspending its commitments to the interim deal signed about a month ago and aimed at permanently ending the fighting.\n\n\n\nIran’s joint military command said that U.S. “covetousness, bullying, totalitarianism or brutality” would meet with a “devastating response.”\n\n\n\nMetz reported from Ramallah, West Bank.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/us-strikes-iran-revolutionary-guard-over-killed-troops-in-jordan/4051491/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Jon Gambrell | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-19T02:54:02.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2286061203.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D6000%2C4000","slug":"us-strikes-irans-revolutionary-guard-over-attack-that-killed-troops-in-jordan"},{"id":"kpsgki","title":"US launches strikes to ‘swiftly punish’ Iran for deadly attacks","excerpt":"The U.S. military launched a new round of strikes on Iran on Saturday night, aiming to “swiftly punish” the nation’s Revolutionary Guard Corps for an attack on a Jordanian base that killed two American service members.","content":"The U.S. military launched a new round of strikes on Iran on Saturday night, aiming to “swiftly punish” the nation’s Revolutionary Guard Corps for an attack on a Jordanian base that killed two American service members.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/us-launches-strikes-swiftly-punish-iran-deadly-attacks","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Nick.Viviani@fox.com (Nick Viviani)","publishDate":"2026-07-19T02:15:49.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.livenowfox.com%2Fwww.livenowfox.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fcentcom-on-july-18.jpg","slug":"us-launches-strikes-to-swiftly-punish-iran-for-deadly-attacks"},{"id":"xtjd8n","title":"Andrew Tate arrested with brother Tristan in Miami; new rape charges filed","excerpt":"Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service on Saturday after British prosecutors filed another round of rape and sexual exploitation charges aimed at the brothers.

More than 100 hours aloft.\n\n\n\nFIFA President Gianni Infantino got some serious air time over the course of the 2026 World Cup, the tournament’s most far-flung edition ever. He crisscrossed North America for matches, meetings and other appearances during the competition, which took place in three countries, 16 cities and four time zones, and ends with Sunday’s final in New Jersey.\n\n\n\nTo track his travels, The Associated Press analyzed flight logs for a private business jet used by Infantino in recent years, along with photos taken by AP photographers and images posted on Instagram by FIFA and the head of world soccer’s governing body himself. The analysis shows that by the time either Argentina or Spain emerges as champion, he will have flown far enough to circle the planet almost 2 1/2 times. \n\n\n\nAccess to a Gulfstream G650 jet from the fleet of the Qatari government made Infantino’s prodigious jet-setting possible. The aircraft is operated by the private charter division of Qatar Airways, a World Cup sponsor. \n\n\n\nSince a June 9 flight from Los Angeles to Mexico City ahead of the tournament’s opening match, the aircraft averaged more than one flight a day and on multiple days made more than three, according to flight-tracking site FlightAware. \n\n\n\nAlong with attending matches, Infantino’s itinerary included stops in New York for an interview on Fox & Friends and in Miami for a FIFA summit attended by representatives from the organization’s 211 member associations. He also flew to Doha to attend the funeral of Qatar’s former emir before returning to the U.S. in time for the World Cup semifinals.\n\n\n\nFIFA did not respond to an emailed request for comment about Infantino’s travel schedule and arrangements.\n\n\n\nHere’s a look at some of the numbers racked up by the person overseeing the tournament that will have featured a record 104 matches spread across the United States, Canada and Mexico, the largest geographic footprint in World Cup history.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 18\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHow the World Cup final is starting to look a lot like the Super Bowl\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 17\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t‘We united the world': Trump, Infantino give World Cup high praise ahead of final\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\n43 matches\n\n\n\nThe number of World Cup matches Infantino attended before Sunday.

Thunderstorms caused flight delays at New York City area airports on Saturday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. \n\n\n\n16 stadiums\n\n\n\nInfantino saw at least one match at all 16 World Cup venues. Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, where he attended five games, is the venue he visited the most. \n\n\n\n13\n\n\n\nThe number of days Infantino attended two matches, often at stadiums located hundreds of miles apart. \n\n\n\n21 airports\n\n\n\nThe Gulfstream mostly used the host cities’ main international airports during the tournament but sometimes relied on smaller general and business aviation airports, including Atlanta’s Fulton County Executive Airport and Miami’s Opa Locka Executive Airport.\n\n\n\n23\n\n\n\nThe number of international border crossings the jet made within North America through the semifinals.\n\n\n\n115 flight hours\n\n\n\nThe flight time the Gulfstream amassed during the tournament, not including repositioning flights and 29 hours of travel for the funeral in Qatar, equals nearly five full days in the air and would be enough for a commercial plane traveling at typical cruising speed to fly from New York to Los Angeles 20 times. \n\n\n\n\n\n5 hours and 44 minutes\n\n\n\nExcluding the journey to Qatar, the flight that took the longest lasted 344 minutes and went from Miami to Seattle, where Infantino attended the Belgium-Egypt match on June 15. The flight time is the same length as three full World Cup matches from kickoff to final whistle. \n\n\n\n28 minutes\n\n\n\nThe shortest flight time, excluding repositioning flights, was a 28-minute hop from Seattle to Vancouver on July 6 — about the length of a network TV sitcom like “Friends” with commercials. Infantino attended the United States-Belgium match in Seattle that day before watching Switzerland face Colombia in Vancouver the following day.\n\n\n\n59,281 miles\n\n\n\nThe distance the jet traveled during the tournament, excluding the journey to Qatar and back for the funeral, according to the AP analysis. That’s more than round-trip flights between New York and Singapore, Los Angeles and Doha, Qatar, and London and the Australian city of Perth combined. \n\n\n\n5,772 miles\n\n\n\nThe most miles covered in a single day’s itinerary were on June 26, which started with a morning flight from Miami to Dallas. From there, the plane went to Seattle, where Infantino attended the Egypt-Iran match. The final leg departed Seattle late that night and landed the next morning in Miami. Infantino watched Colombia face Portugal there.\n\n\n\n50%\n\n\n\nFIFA has pledged to reduce carbon emissions from the World Cup and related activities by half by 2030 and has committed to reaching net-zero emissions by 2040. The organization’s 2026 World Cup sustainability and human rights strategy says it is committed to addressing climate change. \n\n\n\nClimate researchers and environmental groups have argued that the expanded, three-country tournament was likely to produce the most atmosphere-polluting greenhouse gases of any World Cup emissions and be the most carbon-intensive World Cup ever because of the extensive air travel required for teams, fans and officials.\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nAssociated Press journalist Graham Dunbar in Geneva, Switzerland contributed to this report.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/flight-hours-miles-world-cup-travels-fifa-infantino/4051488/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Rio Yamat | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-19T01:22:56.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26192762096220.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3557%2C2371","slug":"the-flight-hours-and-miles-of-world-cup-travels-of-fifas-infantino-in-numbers"},{"id":"f1mj48","title":"These foods are better for you than your daily electrolyte powder, dietitians say","excerpt":"In recent years, electrolyte packets have evolved from a tool to replenish fluids after marathons or a nasty stomach flu into a daily wellness ritual for many.

On TikTok, many creators praise the mineral-rich powders as the key to hydration, athletic performance, good skin and more.\n\n\n\nThe electrolyte powder market was valued at $6.6 billion in 2025 and is projected to keep growing.\n\n\n\nThe core component of these supplements is electrolytes, which are essential minerals that carry an electrical charge, Collin Popp, Ph.D., dietitian and professor at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, tells TODAY.com. The main electrolytes are sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride and phosphate.\n\n\n\nElectrolytes either carry a positive charge or a negative charge. “They help maintain homeostasis, or a level or balance in our cells, in order for our body to function,” says Popp.\n\n\n\nElectrolytes regulate fluid balance, support muscle contraction and nerve signaling, stabilize heart rhythm and help maintain a healthy blood pressure and pH, per Medline Plus.\n\n\n\nAn electrolyte imbalance occurs when the amount of water in the body changes — for example, after losing fluids through sweating, says Popp. If we’re dehydrated (or over-hydrated), this causes levels of certain electrolytes to be too high or too low.\n\n\n\nThe result? Muscle cramps, fatigue and, in severe cases, disrupted heart rhythm, which can lead to cardiac arrest, says Popp. “We need to replenish those electrolytes regularly to maintain that balance,” he adds.\n\n\n\nElectrolyte packets can do that job quickly, but they aren’t the only — or the healthiest — way to regularly consume these minerals, experts say.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDiet & Exercise\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 14\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe No. 1 plant-based protein to boost heart health, according to a dietitian\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDiet & Exercise\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 9\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA dietitian's No. 1 plant-based protein to eat during menopause\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nAre electrolyte packets good for you?\n\n\n\nElectrolyte packets can be good for you, says Popp, but they aren’t necessary for the average person to maintain adequate hydration and overall health.\n\n\n\n“It all depends on whether or not you are in need of additional electrolytes,” Julia Zumpano, a registered dietitian with the Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Human Nutrition, tells TODAY.com.\n\n\n\nThe powders may be a good choice if you’ve lost a lot of fluids and need to replenish minerals rapidly, the experts emphasize.\n\n\n\nElectrolyte powders can be useful before or after:\n\n\n\n\nIntense, prolonged exercise\n\n\n\nExcessive sweating\n\n\n\nWorking outside in hot temperatures\n\n\n\nDiarrhea and vomiting\n\n\n\n\n“If you use a reverse osmosis water filter or water purifier that removes all minerals, you may also benefit,” Zumpano adds.\n\n\n\nIn these situations, keeping electrolyte packets on hand “is like having insurance,” says Popp.\n\n\n\nHowever, for a healthy person going about their normal daily activities or exercise, electrolyte powders won’t provide extra benefits, the experts note.\n\n\n\nThere are also potential downsides.\n\n\n\nRisks of electrolyte powders\n\n\n\nElectrolyte powders may contain added sugar, artificial sweeteners, caffeine or other additives, Zumpano says. But the main concern is overdoing it with sodium or potassium.\n\n\n\nSome brands contain over 1,000 milligrams of sodium per serving, she adds. This can dramatically up your intake, and the typical American diet is already high in salt.\n\n\n\nConsuming too much sodium can cause hypernatremia and spike blood pressure. Excessive potassium may lead to hyperkalemia, which can strain the heart and trigger arrhythmias or cardiac arrest, TODAY.com reported previously.\n\n\n\nDue to these risks, cardiologist Dr. Ami Bhatt would never drink electrolyte packets daily, she told TODAY.com previously.\n\n\n\nPeople with kidney disease, heart disease, high blood pressure and adrenal disorders are at higher risk and should always consult their doctor before taking electrolytes, says Zumpano.\n\n\n\nIf you’re healthy, the occasional electrolyte packet probably won’t do harm, but you don’t need to rely on them to stay hydrated.\n\n\n\n“I think it’s probably a waste of money,” Popp says.\n\n\n\nCan you get enough electrolytes from food?\n\n\n\n“Yes, you can get enough electrolytes from foods if you have a healthy, balanced diet,” says Popp.\n\n\n\nIt’s possible to maintain adequate levels of calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium from whole foods alone.\n\n\n\n“Most people (who are not losing fluids) can get electrolytes from food, but you need to make an effort to ingest foods rich in electrolytes,” says Zumpano.\n\n\n\nFoods to eat instead of drinking electrolyte powder\n\n\n\nRelying on food for electrolytes has several benefits. You’ll get a broader array of nutrients, including protein, fiber, healthy fats, and essential vitamins.\n\n\n\nWhen you consume electrolytes from food, it’s highly unlikely to result in toxicity, the experts note. Overdoses of vitamins and minerals usually occur from taking supplements.\n\n\n\nIn addition to eating electrolyte-rich foods, it’s important to drink enough fluids.\n\n\n\nFoods high in potassium\n\n\n\nPotassium supports muscle and nerve function, aids with fluid balance and lowers blood pressure. The recommended daily intake is 3,400 milligrams for men and 2,600 milligrams for women, per the National Institutes of Health.\n\n\n\nApricots\n\n\n\nOne serving of apricots provides about 755 milligrams of potassium, or 16% of the daily value. This sweet dried fruit is also rich in fiber, vitamin C and beta-carotene, a potent antioxidant.\n\n\n\nPotatoes\n\n\n\nThe humble potato is an excellent source of potassium, Popp notes. One baked potato, eaten with the skin, packs 952 milligrams per serving (35% of the daily value).\n\n\n\nLentils\n\n\n\nLentils are loaded with potassium, providing 730 milligrams per serving (15% of the daily value), along with plant protein and B vitamins.\n\n\n\nBananas\n\n\n\nYou’ve probably heard that bananas can help with muscle cramps — that’s because the fruit is a great source of potassium, providing 420 milligrams per medium banana.\n\n\n\nAvocados\n\n\n\nHalf of an avocado contains about 470 milligrams of potassium, along with heart-healthy unsaturated fats.\n\n\n\nFoods high in magnesium\n\n\n\nMagnesium plays an important role in energy metabolism, muscle function, bone health, sleep and more.\n\n\n\nThe recommended daily intake of magnesium for adults is 320 milligrams for women and 420 milligrams for men, per the NIH.\n\n\n\nPumpkin Seeds\n\n\n\nPumpkin seeds are a magnesium superstar, delivering 156 milligrams per serving (37% of the daily value), plus protein and healthy fats.\n\n\n\nQuinoa\n\n\n\nQuinoa is another excellent source of magnesium, says Popp. One serving provides 118 milligrams of this essential mineral.\n\n\n\nAlmonds\n\n\n\nAlmonds are a nutrient-dense nut that packs up to 80 milligrams of magnesium (20% of the daily value) per serving.\n\n\n\nChia Seeds\n\n\n\nOne ounce of chia seeds provides 111 milligrams of magnesium, which is 25% of the daily value. The tiny seeds are also rich in fiber and plant-based protein, says Popp.\n\n\n\nFoods high in calcium\n\n\n\nCalcium helps the body build and maintain strong bones and teeth. It’s crucial to consume enough of it to maintain bone density, which decreases naturally with age.\n\n\n\nThe recommended intake of calcium is 1,000 milligrams for men and women — it goes up to 1,200 milligrams for women past the age of 50 and adults over 70, per the NIH.\n\n\n\nYogurt\n\n\n\nYogurt is packed with calcium to support bone health. One serving of plain, low-fat yogurt has 415 milligrams of calcium, more than one-third the amount you need for the day.\n\n\n\nMozzarella\n\n\n\nA naturally high-protein cheese, mozzarella cheese packs about 330 milligrams of calcium per serving or 26% of the daily value.\n\n\n\nSardines\n\n\n\nSardines are tiny, oily fish loaded with nutrients. When eaten with the bones, a can of sardines provides 325 milligrams of calcium.\n\n\n\nCottage Cheese\n\n\n\nPacked with protein, cottage cheese is also a good source of calcium, providing about 138 milligrams per cup.\n\n\n\nTofu\n\n\n\nTofu is a nutrient-rich plant protein made from soy milk. One serving provides 255 milligrams of calcium (20% of the daily value).\n\n\n\nFoods high in sodium and chloride\n\n\n\nSodium and chloride help maintain a healthy balance of fluids in the body and aid with muscle function. Together, they form sodium chloride, aka table salt, which most Americans already get enough of in their diet, Popp says.\n\n\n\nHealthy adults should limit their intake of sodium to less than 2,300 milligrams per day, per the American Heart Association.\n\n\n\nThe best way to replenish sodium chloride is by sprinkling salt onto whole foods, such as avocado or potatoes, says Popp. However, these sodium-rich foods also do the trick:\n\n\n\nOlives\n\n\n\nOlives are rich in healthy fats and pack a salty punch. One serving of green olives has about 620 milligrams of sodium.\n\n\n\nPickles\n\n\n\nPickles are a great post-workout snack to replenish electrolytes. One serving of kosher dill pickles provides 325 milligrams of sodium.\n\n\n\nKimchi\n\n\n\nKimchi is known for its gut-healthy probiotics, but this fermented vegetable dish also packs about 498 milligrams of sodium per serving.\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

They were arrested there in 2022, accused of participating in schemes to lure women for sexual exploitation. They denied those allegations and the case didn’t go forward because of legal and procedural irregularities.\n\n\n\nThe brothers are expected to appear in Miami’s federal court early next week, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive law enforcement operations.\n\n\n\nThe pending charges in the United Kingdom accused the brothers of abusing women in an area north of London, where they grew up.

America does not do Britain’s political dirty work\n\n\n\nAndrew Tate, 39, first reached a mainstream audience as a contestant on the U.K. reality television show “Big Brother” in 2016. He was removed from the show when a video surfaced that appeared to show Tate assaulting a woman. He and his brother Tristan Tate, 38, are vocal supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump.\n\n\n\nAndrew Tate has amassed over 10 million followers on X but has been banned from platforms like YouTube, TikTok and Instagram for violating hate speech guidelines. His most widely condemned rhetoric includes comments that women who are sexually assaulted should bear some responsibility for their attacks, graphic descriptions of how he might attack women and criticisms of people who seek treatment for mental illness.\n\n\n\nThe Tate brothers have consistently denied allegations of abuse and human trafficking, claiming that violent and misogynistic statements have been taken out of context or were intended as jokes.\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nAP writer Savannah Peters in Santa Fe, New Mexico contributed.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/andrew-tristan-tate-arrested-in-miami/4051431/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Alanna Durkin Richer | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-18T18:46:30.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2188618581.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C683","slug":"social-media-influencers-andrew-and-tristan-tate-arrested-in-miami-us-marshals-service-tells-ap"},{"id":"t62xnz","title":"Saka's hat trick lifts England past Mbappé and France 6-4 in wild World Cup third-place game","excerpt":"Bukayo Saka scored three goals to lead England to a 6-4 win over France for third place in the World Cup, while Kylian Mbappé surpassed Lionel Messi’s career tournament scoring record and took the lead in the Golden Boot race with a pair of second-half goals on Saturday.\n\n\n\nIt was the highest-sco...","content":"Bukayo Saka scored three goals to lead England to a 6-4 win over France for third place in the World Cup, while Kylian Mbappé surpassed Lionel Messi’s career tournament scoring record and took the lead in the Golden Boot race with a pair of second-half goals on Saturday.\n\n\n\nIt was the highest-scoring World Cup game since Hungary beat El Salvador 10-1 in 1982, and the 10 goals were the most in a third-place match.\n\n\n\nSaka had goals in the 37th minute and in first-half stoppage time, then added his third on a penalty in the 87th for his second career hat trick with England. The Three Lions also got goals from Declan Rice and Ezri Konsa to build a 4-0 halftime lead, and they hung on during a wild second half to secure their second-best finish in the World Cup. England won its only title in 1966.\n\n\n\nEngland’s Jude Bellingham capped the scoring in the eighth minute of second-half stoppage time, his seventh goal of the tournament.\n\n\n\nMbappé reached 22 career goals, one more than Messi. The star striker finished this World Cup with 10 goals, two ahead of Messi in the race for the Golden Boot, which is awarded to the tournament’s top scorer.\n\n\n\nMessi will get one last shot at the scoring title when he and defending champion Argentina face Spain on Sunday in East Rutherford, New Jersey.\n\n\n\nBradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé also scored for France.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoth teams had said they’d rather be playing in Sunday’s final. France had enough offensive firepower to potentially win the tournament, but Les Bleus lost to Spain in the semifinals and squandered their chance at reaching a third straight World Cup final. England blew a 1-0 lead against Argentina and lost 2-1 when Messi assisted on two late goals.\n\n\n\nStill, a sellout crowd of 64,478 showed up to watch the seventh and final match of this World Cup at Hard Rock Stadium.\n\n\n\nPlenty of supporters were cheering for both teams, but many were there simply for the atmosphere of the low-stakes match.\n\n\n\n“I love English football,” said Gaston Esquivel, a native of Mexico City who came to support England. “I’ve followed the Premier League since I was a kid. I am a Manchester United fan. I like their style, I like their game.”\n\n\n\nThomas Viel, who traveled from Paris to follow France throughout the tournament, was hoping to see a hat trick by Mbappé. He nearly got his wish.\n\n\n\nFrance trailed 4-0 when Mbappé flicked a shot past goalkeeper Dean Henderson in the 48th minute. Then he beat Henderson again with a left-footed strike from about 14 yards in the 66th.\n\n\n\n“I think Messi will not score a hat trick tomorrow,” Viel said.\n\n\n\nIt was also the final match for France coach Didier Deschamps, who has said he will step down after 14 years. Deschamps embraced players and waved toward the crowd as he exited the pitch.\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nAssociated Press writer David Fischer contributed to this report.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/england-france-world-cup-third-place-score/4051429/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) -

The waterway accounted for roughly 20% of global oil supplies before the war.\n\n\n\nAn area near Sirik, on the Strait of Hormuz, was targeted around 1:30 a.m. local time, according to Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency, which cited local authorities in southern Hormozgan province.\n\n\n\nThe new strikes came after the U.S. military announced its first troop deaths from direct Iranian fire since the opening days of the war, following a drone and missile attack on a base in Jordan on Friday. The dead were not identified, and Central Command wouldn’t offer any further details on the deaths.\n\n\n\nSince the war began, 16 U.S. service members have been killed and over 430 wounded.\n\n\n\n\n\nIran’s supreme leader warns of ‘unforgettable lessons’\n\n\n\nMinutes before the U.S. announced the troop deaths earlier Saturday, Iran’s supreme leader warned of “unforgettable lessons” if the U.S. keeps attacking the Islamic Republic.\n\n\n\nThe remarks read out on state TV and attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei, still unseen since the war began, also called President Donald Trump’s signature “worthless and invalid.” An Iranian negotiator said Tehran was suspending its commitments to the interim deal signed about a month ago and aimed at permanently ending the fighting.\n\n\n\nTehran’s declarations snapped another fragile thread as the war shows no end in sight. Now Khamenei warns of “lessons” not only from Iran but also its armed proxies in the region, calling them the “Axis of Resistance.” The U.S. issued a global travel alert over the rising tensions.\n\n\n\nThe battle has focused on control of the Strait of Hormuz. The widening strikes now threaten civilians and infrastructure, including desalination plants for drinking water, while the global economy again is on alert.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. has violated its commitments under the deal and now Iran is “no longer implementing them,” Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister, told state TV.\n\n\n\nThere was no new word on mediation efforts.\n\n\n\nU.S. soldiers face growing risks\n\n\n\nThe previous recorded death of a U.S. service member was that of a helicopter pilot who crashed in the Arabian Sea earlier this month. Early in the war, an Iranian drone strike on a command center in Kuwait killed six soldiers. One soldier died after an attack on a base in Saudi Arabia. Six were killed when a refueling aircraft crashed in Iraq.\n\n\n\nOn Saturday, the most significant damage from Iranian strikes occurred in Kuwait, where a water desalination plant and an oil facility were hit, according to the Kuwait authorities and the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation. Both declined to provide locations.\n\n\n\nIt was the second attack against a desalination plant in two days in the tiny desert nation that depends on desalination for 90% of its drinking water. The strikes injured several people at the oil facility and caused a fire at the desalination plant, forcing several power generation units offline.\n\n\n\nSeveral firefighters and a worker were injured while battling two other blazes sparked by Iranian strikes, according to the Kuwait Fire Force. Kuwait briefly closed its airspace due to missile threats, and Kuwait Airways said it was rescheduling most flights to and from the capital.\n\n\n\nMeanwhile, Iraq said it shot down attack drones over the city of Irbil. Jordan’s state-run Petra news agency said the kingdom’s air defense systems had downed Iranian missiles, while air sirens sounded multiple times in Bahrain throughout the day and in Saudi Arabia in the morning, according to their governments.\n\n\n\nThe secretary general of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council, Jasem Mohamed al-Budaiwi, accused Iran of war crimes for strikes on infrastructure and civilian facilities.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWar with Iran\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 16\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tU.S. expands strikes into northern Iran and disables ship trying to run blockade\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIran\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 15\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump announces release of U.S. citizen held in Iran since 2024\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nU.S. strikes hit infrastructure in Iran\n\n\n\nThe U.S. Central Command said early Saturday that its seventh straight night of strikes hit “surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage, and maritime capabilities.”\n\n\n\nU.S. airstrikes hit an electricity and desalination plant in Iran’s southern Hormozgan province, Iranian state TV reported. IRNA said the Bonji desalination plant was destroyed, cutting off water supplies to about 10,000 people, and that a desalination plant on strategic Qeshm Island inside the strait was damaged.\n\n\n\nOvernight strikes damaged two tunnels and a bridge, disrupting one of the main highways toward Bandar Abbas, Iran’s main port that sits near the narrowest part of the strait, according to Iran’s state-run news agency. IRNA said three bridges were hit Saturday, including one on a route to Bandar Abbas.\n\n\n\nIran acknowledged “attacks on power infrastructure” during the U.S. airstrikes for the first time Friday when its Energy Ministry issued a call for people to use less power in southern provinces “experiencing extreme heat.” It did not specify what was hit.\n\n\n\nIranian authorities said at least 50 people have been killed and more than 500 wounded in U.S. strikes in the past three weeks, including eight killed in a strike on a bridge Friday.\n\n\n\nIran and U.S. vie for Strait of Hormuz\n\n\n\nIran effectively closed the strait to shipping traffic after the war started with U.S. and Israeli strikes on Feb. 28. That sent the price of oil soaring and has given Tehran significant leverage in negotiations.\n\n\n\nIran has said the strait must be under its sole control and that vessels should pay fees to Tehran, even though the world for decades has considered it an international waterway. It fired on ships on recent days. Crossings through the strait fell to a three-week low, according to an international shipping tracker.\n\n\n\nTrump has resumed threats to target power stations and bridges to try to compel Iran to loosen its hold. The U.S. in the past week reimposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports to halt its shipments of crude oil, and the military on Saturday said it had redirected five ships and disabled one since then.\n\n\n\nBefore the war began, the U.S. had been in talks with Iran over its nuclear program. Trump now faces political pressure to end the war and avoid the kind of prolonged Middle East conflict he had campaigned against.\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nEzzidin reported from Cairo and Toropin from Washington.

Fischer was accused of raping a woman aboard his boat, the “Lion King,” in 2003, NBC New York reported.\n\n\n\n“He was subsequently convicted in absentia of First-Degree Sexual Assault after failing to appear for trial and remained wanted for Failure to Appear, First Degree Sexual Assault, and Flight to Avoid Prosecution,” the Marshals Service said in a press release Thursday.\n\n\n\nEarlier this week, investigators received information about Fischer’s whereabouts that they determined was credible, prompting members of the Rhode Island Violent Fugitive Task Force to deploy to New York.\n\n\n\nInvestigators determined Fischer was operating a 56-foot sailboat named “The Silver Lining,” which was registered under the name Richard Graydon, an alias authorities said Fischer used. U.S. Marshals and Coast Guard personnel intercepted the vessel about an hour offshore and arrested him without incident.\n\n\n\nAccording to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, fingerprints taken from Fischer by the Marshals Service and analyzed by the FBI confirmed that he was the same man on trial for rape charges in Rhode Island 21 years ago.\n\n\n\nBooks on how to evade law enforcement were found at Fischer’s residence during a search warrant, and it was determined that he was using what’s known as an “onion router” to hide his IP addresses and avoid being tracked, the district attorney’s office said.\n\n\n\nInvestigators also found emails between Fischer and family members who have been helping him evade law enforcement, according to the district attorney’s office.\n\n\n\nFischer’s capture was a coordinated effort by the Rhode Island Violent Fugitive Task Force, the Marshals Service New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force, the U.S. Marshals Service for the Southern District of New York and the U.S. Coast Guard. The FBI also assisted in the investigation.\n\n\n\n“This arrest demonstrates that time does not erase accountability,” said Wing Chau, the U.S. marshal for the District of Rhode Island. “For more than twenty years, Ronald Fischer believed he had successfully escaped justice. The men and women of the Rhode Island Violent Fugitive Task Force, together with our partners, remained committed to ensuring that day would eventually come.”\n\n\n\nThe victim, Cheryl Gingerich, told NBC 10 in an exclusive interview that news of Fischer’s arrest made her happy.\n\n\n\nThe trauma of the incident affected nearly every aspect of her life, she said, leaving her afraid to leave her home and forcing her to abandon her career as an English professor.\n\n\n\n“I always lived in fear of seeing him again because I never felt that he was far away,” she told the outlet.\n\n\n\nFischer was arraigned in Manhattan on Friday, according to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, which confirmed that he was “remanded and waived extradition.”\n\n\n\nIt is not clear whether Fischer has an attorney at this time.\n\n\n\nSamantha Cookinham contributed.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/rhode-island-fugitive-captured-after-more-than-20-years-on-the-run/4051400/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Mirna Alsharif | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-18T12:15:43.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2019%2F09%2Fcrime7.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C675","slug":"rhode-island-fugitive-captured-after-more-than-20-years-on-the-run"},{"id":"ygo6sz","title":"Wildfire smoke kills tens of thousands of people a year.

And then there are long-term risks connecting prolonged smoke and other air pollution exposure to some cancers and dementia.\n\n\n\nAfter huge global fires in 2018 and 2019, the medical and science communities started looking at the health effects from the smoke with “more and more studies coming out finding that there’s all types of impacts that may not have been so obvious before,” said Dr. Mary Johnson, a Harvard School of Public Health environmental health scientist. \n\n\n\nSmoke causes inflammation by triggering the body’s immune system to go into overtime to fight the irritant. Scientists have found it can harm the brain, the skin and men’s sperm, with almost no system of the body spared, Johnson said. People over 60 become more prone to stroke in wildfire smoke, she said.\n\n\n\n“Wildfire smoke is the toxic product of combustion of whatever burned,” which could include houses and cars, said Dr. Courtney Howard, an emergency room physician, chair of the Global Climate and Health Alliance and president-elect of the Canadian Medical Association. \n\n\n\n“So really it’s a big giant toxic soup of particles and gases.”\n\n\n\nScientists have counted at least 1,000 toxins in wildfire smoke, according to Colorado State University environmental toxicologist Luke Montrose.\n\n\n\n“If I gave you a list, you would recognize some of these as being very bad, oftentimes associated with the burning of diesel fuel or cigarette smoke, things like formaldehyde or volatile organic compounds,” Montrose said. “So just the smoke itself can be bad.”\n\n\n\n\n\nRising global temperatures from climate change means more fires\n\n\n\nSo far this year, more than 5,740 square miles (more than 14,860 square kilometers) of the United States has burned from wildfires, which is 31% more than the average of the previous 10 years on this date, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. The amount of U.S. land burned each year in the 2020s — averaged out over a decade — is now more than twice what it was 30 years ago.\n\n\n\nEurope saw a record high amount of land burned in 2025, Canada has had several record or near-record fire years in the 2020s and the Arctic recently has had unprecedented levels of burning.\n\n\n\n“Wildfires are becoming more frequent and intense because of climate change, and when a fire happens, you have smoke,” said Colleen Reid, a University of Colorado geographic health professor.\n\n\n\nMost of the biggest particles in wildfire smoke fall close to where a blaze is burning, while the smallest particles — the ones that scientists say do the most damage — travel the farthest. In a typical wildfire, the nasty particles that harm human health are about the size of one micron, Reid said.\n\n\n\nInside the body, particles attack\n\n\n\nFirst those particles have to get by your body’s protection, mainly nose hairs and mucus, then they get into your lungs and from there the bloodstream.\n\n\n\nMontrose said the particles can be coated in lots of chemicals and have large surface areas. That triggers the body’s defense system to “send signals to other cells that say, ‘We have a problem. We need to mount an immune response to this.’ And that’s where you get your acute effect or your effect within minutes, hours or even that day.” It’s mostly happening in the hearts and lungs, he said.\n\n\n\nAnd many people die.\n\n\n\nOn average 24,100 people died each year in the Lower 48 states between 2006 and 2020 due to long-term exposure to tiny particles from wildfire smoke, according to a study this year in the journal Science Advances. A Stanford study projects that U.S. wildfire smoke deaths will increase with climate change and by midcentury hit an annual cost of $244 billion in terms of the economic value the government puts on each life.\n\n\n\nOn a global scale, wildfire smoke particles cause 677,745 deaths annually, with almost 39% of them children under age 5, according to a 2021 study that combined observations, studies on how the body responds to the particles and computer models to calculate the toll.\n\n\n\nThe biggest nonlethal effects have to do with the way people breathe, especially those with asthma.\n\n\n\n“We did a study here in 2014 after we had about two-and-a-half months of smoke off and on, because we’re in the subarctic so we’re warming at triple the global rate, so in a way we’re kind of canaries in the coal mine of the health impacts of climate change,” Howard said on a clear day from Yellowknife, Canada. “We found a full doubling of emergency department visits for asthma and about 50% increase in pneumonia.”\n\n\n\n“Even in individuals that don’t have asthma, the air can be so irritating that you could have difficulty with your respiratory system regardless,” Johnson said, “whether it’s coughing, whether it’s chest tightness, whether it’s sore throat, headache.”\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpets\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 16\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWildfire smoke impacts pets, too.

People come to the emergency room depressed, Howard said. That’s why it’s important to find a place with clean air — including designated shelters or libraries — to get a break from the smoke and possibly exercise, she said.\n\n\n\nExperts suggest people wear high-quality masks when outdoors, even though they don’t provide perfect protection. Inside, check windows and doors for seals, invest in a good ventilation system and check air filters, they say.\n\n\n\n“Staying away from the smoke is No. 1 if you can,” Johnson said. \n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nThe Associated Press’ climate and environmental coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.

The two stood face‑to‑face, trading words before Brady suddenly struck Paul, prompting Knicks star Karl‑Anthony Towns and event staff to step in and separate them before the confrontation escalated.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile the audio in the clip was hard to make out, WWE quickly amplified the moment by sharing its own angle to social media, capturing Paul’s apparent reaction: “Yo, get your boy. Get your boy, bro. Get your boy. Take him that way; he’s going to get himself hurt.”\n\n\n\nBoth men sounded off afterward on X.\n\n\n\n“This happened bc I was roasting Tom for beating him in flag football. And he tries to smack me ?? Horrible example for the kids,” Paul wrote. “Aura -100 + Blocked.

I feel like I’m retired from football, and I have an opportunity to go out there and still showcase that I’m a little bit of an athlete.”\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/tom-brady-logan-paul-clash-tense-onstage-moment-fanatics-fest/4051392/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Julia Elbaba","publishDate":"2026-07-18T09:53:02.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fimage-64-2.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3000%2C1692","slug":"tom-brady-and-logan-paul-clash-in-tense-onstage-moment-at-fanatics-fest"},{"id":"lu2cac","title":"As youth soccer grows in Texas, some kids struggle for opportunities to play","excerpt":"Millions of kids in the U.S. have many more places to play soccer compared to a decade ago, but the sport’s popularity masks a divide that can leave children from lower income neighborhoods shut out. \n\n\n\nAlthough more than 1,100 new soccer fields have been created in the Dallas-Fort Worth area si...","content":"Millions of kids in the U.S. have many more places to play soccer compared to a decade ago, but the sport’s popularity masks a divide that can leave children from lower income neighborhoods shut out. \n\n\n\nAlthough more than 1,100 new soccer fields have been created in the Dallas-Fort Worth area since 2014, they aren’t distributed evenly among neighborhoods. Some children must still scramble to find a field.\n\n\n\n“Roughly 28 million children in the U.S. don’t have a place to play within walking distance of them,” said Lex Chalat, the executive director at U.S. Soccer’s Soccer Forward Foundation.\n\n\n\n\nvar pymParent = new pym.Parent('map-over-time', 'https://visuals.otsops.com/projects/soccer-fields/map-over-time.html', {title: '', parenturlparam: 'parentDomain', parenturlvalue: window.location.hostname});\n\n\n\n\nWhy most budding soccer players quit by age 14\n\n\n\nSoccer in the United States, unlike in many other countries, operates largely on a pay-to-play model. According to the 2025 State of Play report from the Aspen Institute, the average U.S. family spends $1,016 on their child’s primary sport, up nearly 50% in five years.\n\n\n\nOutdoor soccer participation for all ages in the United States was at an all-time high in 2025 at nearly 16 million, according to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association. Kids have been participating in fewer sports over the past few years, but children ages 6 to 12 remain the country’s largest group of outdoor soccer players with 5.5 million participating. \n\n\n\nBy the time they reach age 14, however, 70% of them quit, especially those from underserved communities, U.S. Soccer found.\n\n\n\n“If I had to guess it would be because at 14 it probably gets really, really expensive,” said Tyler Adams, the captain of the U.S. soccer team at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. “You’re spending a lot of time in the car, you’re spending a lot of money on flights, going to tournaments. Other sports are expensive as well, but soccer is especially expensive at a certain level.”\n\n\n\nLow-income neighborhoods face barriers to access\n\n\n\nThere are now eight times more fields in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for each elementary-aged child than in 2014. But whether that means easier access to the soccer fields is determined by where a child lives.\n\n\n\n\n\nvar pymParent = new pym.Parent('map-choropleth', 'https://visuals.otsops.com/projects/soccer-fields/map-choropleth.html', {title: '', parenturlparam: 'parentDomain', parenturlvalue: window.location.hostname});\n\n\n\n\nWe compared school districts in and around the Dallas-Fort Worth area on key demographics and found that the soccer fields are concentrated in high-income areas. Elementary school-aged children in areas with the lowest median household income have access to a third as many soccer fields as those in areas with the highest median household income.\n\n\n\nIn areas with the highest median income, an average of 938 kids share one soccer field. In areas with the lowest median income, that number goes up to 2,641.\n\n\n\n\n\nvar pymParent = new pym.Parent('slope-chart-wrapper', 'https://visuals.otsops.com/projects/soccer-fields/slope-chart.html', {title: '', parenturlparam: 'parentDomain', parenturlvalue: window.location.hostname});\n\n\n\n\nAccess also varies along property wealth lines. Children in areas with a median home value below average for the Dallas-Fort Worth area, which was $311,957 in early 2026 according to Zillow, have to access to half as many soccer fields as children in areas with a median home value above average.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nvar pymParent = new pym.Parent('neighborhoods', 'https://visuals.otsops.com/projects/soccer-fields/all_markets_html/neighborhoods/neighborhoods.html', {title: '', parenturlparam: 'parentDomain', parenturlvalue: window.location.hostname});\n\nSource: OpenStreetMap, Census data\n\n\n\nThe ‘ideal’ soccer field\n\n\n\nA tiny percentage of the country’s 90,000 public schools — less than 1% — have schoolyards that are green and open to the public outside of school hours, according to the Trust for Public Land.\n\n\n\n“I wouldn’t say that anywhere in America really has direct access to soccer pitches unless you live in a major city,” said Adams, who spent his childhood in New York’s Hudson Valley. “For me, it was always walking down to a park and making the baseball field and the outfield the ‘ideal’ soccer field, or we’d play on the concrete of a basketball court.”\n\n\n\nThe existence of a field doesn’t mean that it’s usable. It might not be maintained or be in a setting that makes some would-be players feel that they don’t belong, Chalat said.\n\n\n\nMany of the now-soccer fields in the area used to be open land or fields built for other sports. These soccer fields in Carrollton, for example, were built in Montgomery Park in 2020.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nvar pymParent = new pym.Parent('fields_post_2014', 'https://visuals.otsops.com/projects/soccer-fields/all_markets_html/fields_post_2014/fields_post_2014.html', {title: '', parenturlparam: 'parentDomain', parenturlvalue: window.location.hostname});\n\nSource: OpenStreetMap, Census data\n\n\n\nFuture of soccer: ‘Sustainable, community-centered, and accessible’\n\n\n\nAhead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the North Texas FIFA World Cup Organizing Committee and the U.S. Soccer Foundation partnered to build six mini-pitches in the region so children could play in their own neighborhoods. \n\n\n\nChalat said Soccer Forward’s next phase is to make soccer truly accessible to everyone everywhere.\n\n\n\n“It’s not only public policy, it’s not only lack of investment, it’s not only a representation issue or a socioeconomic issue, it’s everything,” she said. “The key piece there is making sure it’s sustainable, that it’s community centered, and that it’s accessible. And that’s not an easy thing to do.”\n\n\n\nOther groups focused on making soccer more accessible include the nonprofit Street Soccer USA, which aims to provide an alternative to the pay-to-play model, especially in neighborhoods where over a third of residents live below the poverty line.\n\n\n\nAnother organization, 703 Warriors, a youth soccer development club based in Arlington, Virginia, identified five key ways to meet marginalized communities, including connecting with them in more languages.\n\n\n\n“In those inner-city communities, they go through a lot of obstacles that not every kid in the suburbs or other kids have to go through,” Adams said. “I think there’s a lot of opportunity to do more wrong sometimes than there is good. It’s about inspiring them and remembering to find their reason why.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMethodology\n\n\n\nWe analyzed OpenStreetMap data from 2014 and 2026 to get the number of fields across the U.S. and mapped it against American Community Survey 5-year estimates for school districts from 2014 and 2024 (the latest data available). We calculated the change in fields over time and across geographical boundaries.\n\n\n\nWe mean ‘elementary school-aged kids’ to be the population group that is 5-14 years of age.\n\n\n\nFor income calculations, we used median household income for families with children under 18 years of age. We split it into deciles to ensure we had the same number of geographical blocks in each category, with ‘lowest income’ being the first decile and ‘highest income’ being the last. If an area did not have an estimation of median household income, we dropped that area.\n\n\n\nWe did the same for the median home value for a given geographical area, with ‘lowest home value’ being the first decile and ‘highest home value’ being the last.\n\n\n\nLastly, for our graphics, we limited our analysis to the school districts served by NBC and Telemundo Dallas-Fort Worth.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/soccer-fields-disparity-youth/4019984/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Tejal Wakchoure","publishDate":"2026-07-18T07:01:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F05%2FGettyImages-2227587212.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5000%2C3333","slug":"as-youth-soccer-grows-in-texas-some-kids-struggle-for-opportunities-to-play"},{"id":"kt4yix","title":"How the World Cup final is starting to look a lot like the Super Bowl","excerpt":"For American viewers of the World Cup final on Sunday, the sport the rest of the world knows as football will closely resemble the one Americans call the same name.\n\n\n\nThat’s because, perhaps taking a cue from the Super Bowl, the FIFA World Cup final will feature its very own halftime show.\n\n\n\nUn...","content":"For American viewers of the World Cup final on Sunday, the sport the rest of the world knows as football will closely resemble the one Americans call the same name.\n\n\n\nThat’s because, perhaps taking a cue from the Super Bowl, the FIFA World Cup final will feature its very own halftime show.\n\n\n\nUnlike the Super Bowl, however, the World Cup’s halftime show is not being met with quite the same anticipation as say, a performance by Bad Bunny. That’s because the halftime show is the latest maneuver by FIFA that arguably changes the spirit of the sport, which started with this tournament’s hydration breaks.\n\n\n\nAlthough FIFA had implemented “cooling breaks” before to address such sweltering conditions as the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, this year was the first time that hydration breaks were mandated to take place in the middle of each half of every game. Lasting three minutes each, the breaks effectively broke matches into quarters, which critics, such as England coach Thomas Tuchel, said “interrupts and changes the identity of a football match much more than I thought.”\n\n\n\nSaid Uruguay coach Marcelo Bielsa: “Playing four periods instead of two alters the culturally constructed conception of how to interpret football. In my view, it adds nothing and takes away a lot. When [the match] was divided into four periods, no thought was given to the effect it might have on what makes football such a captivating sport.”\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWorld Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 8\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJustin Bieber joins World Cup final halftime show featuring Madonna, Shakira and BTS\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 17\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t‘We united the world': Trump, Infantino give World Cup high praise ahead of final\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 17\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWorld Cup final history: List of winners and more to know before Argentina-Spain\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nOther coaches, like the U.S.’s Mauricio Pochettino, did not initially endorse the idea but later tried using them to his advantage. During a pre-tournament friendly in Charlotte, he was seen showing players tactical adjustments on a laptop during one such break.\n\n\n\n“I think it’s nice to have a hydration break,” U.S. player Sergiño Dest said last month. “It’s also [a chance] to kind of settle and talk with your teammates. It can be nice.”\n\n\n\nHalftime, however, will be a much longer break than players are accustomed to. To set up the on-field stage for the co-headliners of Justin Bieber, Madonna, Shakira and BTS, the mid-match break could last around 25 minutes, according to Reuters.\n\n\n\nThis is despite international football rules explicitly stating that halftime should not last longer than 15 minutes.\n\n\n\nSoccer has attempted halftime shows before, such as during last year’s Club World Cup. In 2024, CONMEBOL produced a halftime show for the Copa America final between Argentina and Colombia, which was met with some criticism.\n\n\n\n“I think the halftime for the final should be 15 minutes because those are the rules,” Colombia coach Nestor Lorenzo said before that match. “But now apparently, because there’s going to be a concert, we’ll be walking back out 20 to 25 minutes later. This could affect the players’ fitness. They could cool down too much. Those minutes of recovery in the dressing room… people don’t understand what it takes to reach those levels.”\n\n\n\nOn top of the hydration breaks turning World Cup matches from two halves into four quarters and the extended halftime, FIFA also announced Thursday that — for the first time in the sport’s history — Sunday’s winning players will receive championship rings in addition to the World Cup trophy and gold medals.\n\n\n\nIn the press release announcing the rings, FIFA said it was “bringing one of the most recognizable American sporting traditions to the global game.”\n\n\n\nFIFA has done exactly that, in more ways than one.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/world-cup-final-starting-to-look-like-super-bowl/4051384/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Rohan Nadkarni | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-18T06:58:39.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2286285066.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5056%2C3370","slug":"how-the-world-cup-final-is-starting-to-look-a-lot-like-the-super-bowl"},{"id":"yw9nfr","title":"Toyota Financial Services moves into new Frisco office - WFAA","excerpt":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi0AFBVV95cUxQWDQ5VjZ1UDJOaVZ0bUQ4Z2h3Y1VFMVo3NFlWLXlCSEZMUVM4eTBBdFdIRXBYMC1zLVo1cVlObE0xaHZkMzdxSnMzWUxjLThCUW01cnptdzN1T1pKb3NwM1BLUnI3cmlPcktIOWowZTk5aWdJRW9xMzVzWjVFWGN5UTBzQXgySTMwSUdHNUUwTWRYbTU1elFuT2J2MzhWSXB1eXg0NlpUekh5MGZXUk43SjZnWC04RTR...","content":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi0AFBVV95cUxQWDQ5VjZ1UDJOaVZ0bUQ4Z2h3Y1VFMVo3NFlWLXlCSEZMUVM4eTBBdFdIRXBYMC1zLVo1cVlObE0xaHZkMzdxSnMzWUxjLThCUW01cnptdzN1T1pKb3NwM1BLUnI3cmlPcktIOWowZTk5aWdJRW9xMzVzWjVFWGN5UTBzQXgySTMwSUdHNUUwTWRYbTU1elFuT2J2MzhWSXB1eXg0NlpUekh5MGZXUk43SjZnWC04RTRwN3FiS1VKbU80dEd3ODYyNGUyeEUyaTd4?oc=5\" target=\"_blank\">Toyota Financial Services moves into new Frisco office</a>  <font color=\"#6f6f6f\">WFAA</font>","url":"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi0AFBVV95cUxQWDQ5VjZ1UDJOaVZ0bUQ4Z2h3Y1VFMVo3NFlWLXlCSEZMUVM4eTBBdFdIRXBYMC1zLVo1cVlObE0xaHZkMzdxSnMzWUxjLThCUW01cnptdzN1T1pKb3NwM1BLUnI3cmlPcktIOWowZTk5aWdJRW9xMzVzWjVFWGN5UTBzQXgySTMwSUdHNUUwTWRYbTU1elFuT2J2MzhWSXB1eXg0NlpUekh5MGZXUk43SjZnWC04RTRwN3FiS1VKbU80dEd3ODYyNGUyeEUyaTd4?oc=5","source":"Google News - \"Frisco, Texas\"","author":"Google News - \"Frisco, Texas\"","publishDate":"2026-07-18T02:41:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":2,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Flh3.googleusercontent.com%2FJ6_coFbogxhRI9iM864NL_liGXvsQp2AupsKei7z0cNNfDvGUmWUy20nuUhkREQyrpY4bEeIBuc%3Ds0-w300","slug":"toyota-financial-services-moves-into-new-frisco-office-wfaa"},{"id":"vebb1d","title":"Suspect arrested for 1981 killing of Grapevine flight attendant","excerpt":"More than four decades after a flight attendant from Grapevine was murdered, police have arrested a suspect who they believe killed her over financial disputes.

His three-run homer into the Braves bullpen in the fourth gave Atlanta a 5-0 lead. Olson followed two batters later with a 420-foot shot into the Chop House restaurant in right field. He was 2 for 3 with two walks and two runs.\n\n\n\nThe Rangers had won eight of their last 10 games against left-handed starters, but they were overmatched against Sale. The veteran ace sat out Tuesday night’s All-Star Game in Philadelphia and was ready for Texas. He had six strikeouts, no walks and allowed just a single in the third and a double in the seventh. He threw 62 strikes on 89 pitches.\n\n\n\nRangers starter Cal Quantrill (3-2) lasted four innings and gave up 11 hits and six runs on a season-high 86 pitches. He was relieved by Emiliano Teodo, who permitted two runs over 1 2/3 innings in his big league debut.\n\n\n\nAll nine Braves starters had a hit, and seven had at least two. Riley was 2 for 5 with two runs. Rookie shortstop Jim Jarvis went 2 for 4 with a double, two runs and an RBI. All-Star second baseman Ozzie Albies was 2 for 4 with an RBI, and Michael Harris II had two doubles and three RBIs.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/red-fever/chris-sale-dominates-as-braves-beat-rangers/4051362/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-17T21:47:08.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2285918460.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4366%2C2910","slug":"chris-sale-dominates-as-braves-beat-rangers"},{"id":"qi0yjs","title":"Trump fumes over Canadian wildfire smoke and issues tariff threat","excerpt":"President Donald Trump on Friday pledged to hold Canada responsible for costs associated with unhealthy air quality in the U.S. due to spreading smoke from the Canadian wildfires.\n\n\n\n“The cost is incalculable!” the president wrote in a post on Truth Social. “This is Willful Negligence, and becomi...","content":"President Donald Trump on Friday pledged to hold Canada responsible for costs associated with unhealthy air quality in the U.S. due to spreading smoke from the Canadian wildfires.\n\n\n\n“The cost is incalculable!” the president wrote in a post on Truth Social. “This is Willful Negligence, and becoming a yearly occurrence, costing the United States Billions of Dollars, which cost of this pollution must of necessity be added to the TARIFFS Canada is currently paying.”\n\n\n\nTrump has often used tariffs — which are paid by businesses and consumers — as a political cudgel in disputes with other countries.\n\n\n\nTrump said that he would call Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney “to find out what they are going to do about it.”\n\n\n\n“We are holding Canada responsible for the fact that they are not properly maintaining their Forests, and Brush therein, and the United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air, the quality of which is dangerous, and totally unacceptable!” Trump wrote.\n\n\n\nWildfire smoke shrouds the sun as it rises behind the skyline of midtown Manhattan in New York City on July 17, 2026.\n\n\n\nCarney on Thursday alluded to criticism of Canada’s response to the natural disaster, spotlighting the U.S.’s own opposition to climate policies.\n\n\n\n“Each of us has his own responsibility. At the moment, we’re emphasizing investment in clean energy, but in the U.S., there are modes of production which are working against clean energy,” he told reporters in French. “And Canada is pursuing their efforts on the world scale, whereas the United States are reducing their footprint worldwide.”\n\n\n\nSince returning to office, Trump has suspended U.S. support for dozens of international climate initiatives and research groups. In March, a group of universities sued the Trump administration for its efforts to dismantle the country’s largest federal climate research center.\n\n\n\nAir quality alerts remain for more than 100 million people on Friday, as smoke from the wildfires in Minnesota and Canada continues to envelop major cities, including Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and New York City.\n\n\n\nThe conditions have also led to concerns about Sunday’s World Cup final, which Trump plans to attend, in New Jersey, where poor air quality levels persist going into the weekend.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe president has repeatedly touted the success of the tournament, even suggesting Friday at a FIFA reception that the U.S. should host the World Cup again. Trump also quipped that the next time the U.S. hosts the tournament, it should “leave Mexico and Canada out.”\n\n\n\nTrump’s threats Friday to raise tariffs against Canada come after the administration announced on July 1 that it plans to drop out of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which has been seen as a key stabilizing force across North America for the last six years.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpets\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 16\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWildfire smoke impacts pets, too.

That led to his biological aunt on a genealogy platform. Her nephew, Jeremy Morrison, then had his DNA tested. The results were irrefutable.\n\n\n\n“That’s when my mind was just completely blown,” Bylin said. “We could have never imagined that it was an actual birth switch that occurred.”\n\n\n\nMorrison said he was convinced as soon as he saw a photo of Bylin’s brother and realized they looked very much alike.\n\n\n\nBylin and Morrison were the only babies born on Jan. 26, 1988, at Unity Medical Center in Grafton, North Dakota, according to their lawsuit filed in state court last week. Somehow, they went home with the wrong parents.\n\n\n\nA hospital statement says there’s no evidence staff were responsible for the switch.\n\n\n\nBut Bylin, born Jeremy Morrison, says he still has the hospital bracelet that misidentified him as Kyle Bylin.\n\n\n\nThe hospital records no longer exist\n\n\n\nTwo years have passed since the DNA tests shattered what they thought they knew about their families — including disorienting moments, emotional family meetings and thoughts about the what-ifs.\n\n\n\n“Kyle is still my son — that is never going to change,” Evelyn Newton, who raised him as her own, told The Associated Press in a phone interview Friday. “But I feel robbed of the life I should have had with my biological son. You can’t go back and replace 35 years. First steps, driving a car, getting married — how do you make up for that?”\n\n\n\nThe hospital doesn’t dispute that the babies were switched at some point. It says it’s working to better understand what happened, but has uncovered no evidence that its administration or staff were responsible for the lives-altering error.\n\n\n\n“We recognize the profound impact this discovery has had on them and their families,” Unity Medical’s statement says. “Unfortunately, because of the passage of nearly four decades, the medical and staffing records that might have provided additional clarity no longer exist, and no members of the delivery team from that time are still employed by the hospital.”\n\n\n\nThe knowledge hasn’t changed the way Morrison feels about the family he’s always known. He still thinks of the parents he grew up with — Elizabeth O’Toole and Terry Morrison — as his parents. And aside from some challenging times — like wishing he had a sibling to lean on when he was 7 and they divorced — he says his childhood was fine.\n\n\n\n“I was loved. I played sports. I did well in school,” Morrison said. “A DNA test is not going to take away 38 years of memories.”\n\n\n\nThe shocking truth led to emotional encounters\n\n\n\nMorrison now lives in Colorado City, Colorado, and works as a welding inspector for a wind energy company. Had he not been switched at birth, he figures he’d still be with his biological brother and father, working on the North Dakota grain farm where Bylin grew up.\n\n\n\nNewton said she never had any thought that Kyle might not be their biological son as she and her then-husband, Keith Bylin, were raising him. True, the immediate family had light hair and Kyle’s was dark. But her husband had relatives with dark hair, and Newton herself was adopted, so she didn’t know what her own blood relatives looked like.\n\n\n\nFor Bylin, questions about nature versus nurture have become more personal. As he pursued an academic career far from North Dakota, he figured the political debates over Thanksgiving dinner were just a staple of American family life.\n\n\n\n“You’re just kind of shaking your fist, like, how can this be my family? How am I so different from them?” Bylin said. “It turns out that we’re just totally different people, period.”\n\n\n\nBylin and Morrison have now met their biological parents — the encounters were welcoming but awkward, they said. They have yet to meet each other, but have spoken on the phone.\n\n\n\n“We’ve tried to unite as a group and just recognize that no matter what, there’s different ways that this can be socially messy,” Bylin said. “Everyone’s getting to know people that they didn’t know before.”\n\n\n\nOthers have discovered they were switched at birth\n\n\n\nSuch cases are rare, but at-home DNA tests are making them easier to uncover: \n\n\n\n\nIn 2024, two women sued the government of Norway alleging a breach of human rights after discovering they had been switched.\n\n\n\nTwo men who believe they were switched at birth in 1942 sued a Roman Catholic diocese in West Virginia in 2020, alleging negligence and breach of duty by the hospital where they were born.\n\n\n\nIn 2018 in Pennsylvania, testing revealed that two girls had been switched some 75 years earlier.\n\n\n\nIn 2016, the Canadian government launched an investigation after DNA evidence indicated two men from a northern Manitoba Indigenous community were switched at birth in 1975.\n\n\n\nIn 2024, two women sued the government of Norway alleging a breach of human rights after discovering they had been switched.\n\n\n\n\nModern tech helps hospitals prevent switches\n\n\n\nDr. Jonathan Marron, a pediatric oncologist who also teaches at Harvard Medical School’s Center for Bioethics, says such mix-ups should happen “pretty close to never” nowadays.\n\n\n\n“As often as all clinicians, doctors, nurses, social workers, everybody else, gripe about the electronic health records,” the digital backstop is a clear benefit, Marron said. \n\n\n\nAttorney Tim O’Keefe said he tried for a year to reach a monetary settlement with the hospital before filing a lawsuit claiming emotional distress due to negligence and medical malpractice. The families have spent this time adjusting to new realities.\n\n\n\n“I know the truth now, but we’re still working to build relationships,” Morrison said. “I mean, it’s not like I can go back in time and rebuild what’s already lost. It’s a work in progress, just like me.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSusan Montoya Bryan contributed from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Johnson reported from Seattle, Schuettler from Phoenix.

Soon after, local, state and federal resources began to flock to the scene, officials said.\n\n\n\nNegotiations started around 4 p.m.\n\n\n\n“There’s a lot that transpired between that,” LaRue said. “At about 1:50 a.m., the survivors, the hostages, the two employees of the Forest Service were released, and I’m so incredibly proud of that.”\n\n\n\nThe first hostage came out alone, followed 15 minutes later by the second, Tosh said.\n\n\n\nThen around 2:30 a.m., Henrichsen and his adult son, Phoenix Henrichsen, 23, surrendered and exited the trailer, LaRue said.\n\n\n\nAt the time, Joseph Henrichsen had an AR-15 and claimed to have grenades, Tosh said.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImmigration\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 17\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tICE officer in Maine shooting has history of violent behavior, family and records say\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCentral Texas Flood\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 16\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMore dangerous floods expected, 2 killed and hundreds rescued in Central Texas\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTesla\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 17\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTesla driver whose car slammed into Texas home overrode driver assistance mode, NTSB says\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nBoth were arrested and charged with kidnapping of a federal employee.

The safety of our guests and 1,000+ team members nationally will always come before money.”\n\n\n\nKelley said the business had maintained a safe environment inside the venue through its security team and staff, but said conditions outside its control ultimately led to the decision to leave.\n\n\n\n“While we have been fortunate to maintain a safe environment inside KANVAS through the outstanding work of our security team and staff, we cannot control what happens throughout the surrounding community,” Kelley wrote. “We believe too much violence has occurred in Deep Ellum for us to continue operating there.”\n\n\n\nHe said the violence in the surrounding area “is a condition we did not create and cannot control” and made continuing to operate in Deep Ellum “inconsistent with our standards.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“We are not willing to ask our guests or employees to accept that risk, regardless of the money to be made,” Kelley wrote.\n\n\n\nKelley acknowledged efforts by the City of Dallas and Westdale Management to improve public safety in the entertainment district.\n\n\n\n“We recognize that the City of Dallas and Westdale Management are actively working to improve safety in Deep Ellum, and we sincerely hope those efforts are successful,” he wrote. “Deep Ellum is an important part of Dallas, and we wish the district, its businesses, and its residents nothing but success.”\n\n\n\nDespite the closure, Kelley said his company plans to continue expanding.\n\n\n\nKelley thanked customers who supported Kanvas and encouraged them to visit his other concepts, including Kitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley and Club VIVO.\n\n\n\nThe closure marks another business departure from Deep Ellum, where several bars and entertainment venues have closed in recent years. Kelley did not identify a single incident that prompted the decision, instead citing ongoing concerns about violence in the surrounding area.\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/kanvas-closing-deep-ellum/4051335/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Ahraya Burns","publishDate":"2026-07-17T18:55:08.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2019%2F09%2Fdeep-ellum.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C675","slug":"why-popular-bar-kanvas-is-closing-in-deep-ellum-despite-strong-business"},{"id":"oq9l4u","title":"‘We united the world': Trump, Infantino give World Cup high praise ahead of final","excerpt":"FIFA President Gianni Infantino deemed the World Cup a success on Friday, again lauding President Donald Trump for his role in the event and saying the tournament achieved its mission of uniting people from all corners of the globe.\n\n\n\nInfantino pointed to many numbers — sold-out stadiums and big...","content":"FIFA President Gianni Infantino deemed the World Cup a success on Friday, again lauding President Donald Trump for his role in the event and saying the tournament achieved its mission of uniting people from all corners of the globe.\n\n\n\nInfantino pointed to many numbers — sold-out stadiums and big television ratings — as proof that the biggest World Cup ever met expectations, as Trump nodded in approval.\n\n\n\n“The American dream, Mr. President, came to reality,” Infantino said as he stood alongside Trump in New York on Friday. “We united the world.”\n\n\n\nTrump hosted a reception at Trump Tower in Manhattan for Infantino and international soccer stars.

He brought one of the official game balls that are to be used in Sunday’s World Cup final between Argentina and Spain to the stage, calling it “a magic object which has the power to unite the world.”\n\n\n\n“We hear it many times, don’t we, that we live in a divided world, that we live in an aggressive world, that there are so many things that divide us, that create us problems,” Infantino said. “But we know as well, and if there is one thing, if there is one thing that this World Cup has shown us and is showing us, we know that there are many more things that bring us together than things that divide us.”\n\n\n\nThis was the largest World Cup in history, with 48 teams qualifying and matches spread out over the U.S., Canada and Mexico. FIFA has said stadiums have been basically full for each of the 102 matches played to date — there are two remaining, the France-England game for third place in Miami Gardens, Florida, on Saturday, and then Sunday’s final in East Rutherford, New Jersey.\n\n\n\n\n\nTotal attendance for the tournament will end up somewhere around 6.7 million — a World Cup record, despite concerns months ago that high ticket prices and immigration issues would deter fans from coming to North America for the matches.\n\n\n\n“We have seen millions of people coming together in the last month and a half to the United States, to Canada and to Mexico, but in every corner of the world, coming together in a peaceful way, in a joyful way, wanting to spend time together and wanting to celebrate a moment of community,” Infantino said. “This is the strongest message ever and this is the message on which we have to build our future — a future of community and a future of unity.”\n\n\n\nThe tournament has not had any major security incidents, which some feared, but has featured geopolitical discomfort and controversy. The Iranian team had a tumultuous experience, narrowly being knocked out in the group stage while facing what it said were onerous travel restrictions as its country was at war with the U.S. Infantino was criticized globally after lifting U.S. star Folarin Balogun’s red-card suspension following urging from Trump — who described his role in that saga as “making a recommendation.”\n\n\n\n“Gianni made yet another of his good decisions,” Trump said.\n\n\n\nAnd the British government has urged FIFA to investigate Argentina’s soccer team after players posed with a banner claiming sovereignty over the Falkland Islands after their semifinal win against England.\n\n\n\nInfantino pledged to the U.N. that he and FIFA would “lend our full support” to youth mental health causes, saying that the topic should be taken seriously.\n\n\n\nBut he pointed to these matches as examples of how sport can be a bridge across language, cultural, political and other barriers.\n\n\n\n“In two days, we will know if Spain or Argentina will be the world champion,” Infantino said. “But what we know already, dear friends, is that football is not just the most popular sport in the world, but football has definitely become that common, that universal language that everyone speaks because everyone wants to come together.”\n\n\n\n\n\nAssociated Press Writers Josh Boak in New York and Will Weissert in Washington contributed.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/trump-infantino-world-cup-praise/4051318/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Tim Reynolds | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-17T18:53:48.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26198801413736.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C676","slug":"we-united-the-world-trump-infantino-give-world-cup-high-praise-ahead-of-final"},{"id":"qfss64","title":"Detective ties rapper's lyrics to murder-for-hire theory in MO3 murder pretrial hearing","excerpt":"Several songs by Dallas rapper Yella Beezy support the state’s theory that the death of rapper MO3 was a murder-for-hire plot, that’s according to a detective who testified Friday during a pretrial hearing.\n\n\n\nDetective Eric Barnes pointed to lyrics in the songs “Hitters,” “Keep It in the Streets...","content":"Several songs by Dallas rapper Yella Beezy support the state’s theory that the death of rapper MO3 was a murder-for-hire plot, that’s according to a detective who testified Friday during a pretrial hearing.\n\n\n\nDetective Eric Barnes pointed to lyrics in the songs “Hitters,” “Keep It in the Streets,” and “On Your Head,” testifying that they referenced paying for violence and putting money on someone’s head.\n\n\n\nYella Beezy, whose legal name is Markies DeAndre Conway, is charged with capital murder while remuneration in connection to the 2020 murder of MO3, whose legal name is Melvin Abdul Noble Jr.\n\n\n\nBarnes also testified that the alleged shooter, Kewon White, appeared on stage with Conway at a concert shortly before Noble’s murder, which Barnes said showed White was trusted by Conway.\n\n\n\nBarnes also testified that Conway’s comments during a DJ Vlad interview about needing to “get my lick back” showed a motive.\n\n\n\nBarnes also testified about a history of conflict between Conway and Noble, including a concert at which police intervened out of concern for public safety.\n\n\n\nThe next pretrial hearing is set for July 24.

Instead, he accepted a Chancellor’s Scholarship to attend TCU. After initially being denied a walk-on opportunity, he continued training while waiting for another chance.\n\n\n\n“I was not recruited at all by TCU at all for football, but I was recruited by SMU when Sonny Dykes was the coach at the time,” Cunningham said.\n\n\n\nAbout six months later, Cunningham received an unexpected phone call.\n\n\n\n“About six months later, I get a call from Sonny Dykes, the head coach at SMU at the time, and he said, ‘Hey, why aren’t you on the roster at TCU?’” Cunningham said.\n\n\n\nThat persistence paid off on the football field, and Cunningham now hopes a similar approach will help him in music.\n\n\n\nHe is a finalist in the inaugural NIL Star, a singing competition for college student-athletes.\n\n\n\n“Winning this competition would mean the world,” Cunningham said.\n\n\n\nCunningham said the support he’s received has encouraged him to continue pursuing music, regardless of where football takes him.\n\n\n\n“Seeing how much people support doing something other than your sport, like singing, it really just warms the heart because I can see this is something that I really want to pursue if football doesn’t work out or if it does. I want to pursue music no matter what,” Cunningham said.\n\n\n\nThe NIL Star winner gets $10,000. Keagan said he would use it to kickstart his music career.\n\n\n\nVoting is open until July 19th; click here to vote. \n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

So it’s tough to watch that and not be there at the same time,” Stice said.\n\n\n\nWhen volunteers arrive, their first priority will be preparing meals for survivors. Stice said crews expect to prepare about 1,300 meals on the first day, with production increasing in the days that follow. \n\n\n\nThe organization is working in support of the Salvation Army Texas Division, based in Arlington.\n\n\n\n“So we will [be] preparing, first day, about 1,300 meals and our numbers will go up after that.

Uvalde is split in half right now, so we’re kind of concerned about how we’ll be able to reach the whole community,” Stice said.\n\n\n\nIn addition to feeding survivors, volunteers will help residents clean out flood-damaged homes as they begin the recovery process and prepare for repairs.\n\n\n\nMany of the volunteers also responded to the deadly Hill Country flooding last year and are returning to help once again.\n\n\n\n“Of course, last year was tough with the loss of life, but the flood event itself was, they’re veterans at that. They can handle that. But the loss of life is still fresh on everyone’s minds,” Stice said.\n\n\n\nThe volunteers plan to remain in Uvalde for at least seven to 10 days. Officials said they will reevaluate the situation and stay longer if additional assistance is needed.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tTexas flooding\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCentral Texas Flood\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 17\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDonate emergency supplies for pets and families affected by the Central Texas Floods\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExtreme Weather\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 17\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGov.

Its new flagship GLM-5.2 model is already widely used by software developers around the world who say it can perform work almost as well as top U.S. models at a lower price. \n\n\n\nThe hype over the new Chinese model resembles the market-shaking panic that followed Chinese startup DeepSeek ‘s new model release in early 2025, though not everyone finds it justified. The response to K3 is an “overreaction shockingly similar” to DeepSeek’s release last year, said tech analyst Patrick Moorhead on social media. He said it could be good for parts of the broader AI industry but poses a revenue challenge to Anthropic and OpenAI.\n\n\n\nDuring the conference, which runs until Monday, tech giant Huawei has also been showcasing a new AI computing system called the Atlas 950 SuperPoD, a signal that China increasingly is amassing the domestic hardware it needs despite U.S. restrictions on imports from chipmakers like Nvidia.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tArtificial Intelligence\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 16\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAI chatbots at risk of spreading government restrictions on online speech, new study says\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLawsuits\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 14\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMeta employees sue, alleging AI-driven layoffs hit workers on parental and medical leave\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tArtificial Intelligence\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 13\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHundreds of economists say ‘we must act now' on AI's economic impact and job displacement risks\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nMoonshot hasn’t said what hardware it used to build K3, but the startup is a partner with Huawei.\n\n\n\nThe price to use K3 is the highest yet for a Chinese AI model, but is still half as expensive as OpenAI’s high-performing GPT-5.6 Sol model, according to a Friday report by Bank of America research analysts.\n\n\n\nU.S. politicians and several major U.S. AI companies including Anthropic and OpenAI have accused Chinese AI models of illicit “distillation” of their models to extract their technologies, a claim that Beijing says is “groundless.” \n\n\n\nAnthropic in February accused DeepSeek, Moonshot and a third China-based AI lab, MiniMax, of engaging in campaigns to “illicitly extract Claude’s capabilities to improve their own models” using the distillation technique that “involves training a less capable model on the outputs of a stronger one.”\n\n\n\nAnthropic said that distillation can be a legitimate way to train AI systems but it’s a problem when competitors “use it to acquire powerful capabilities from other labs in a fraction of the time, and at a fraction of the cost, that it would take to develop them independently.”\n\n\n\nBut it can go both ways. San Francisco-based startup Anysphere, maker of the popular coding tool Cursor, has acknowledged that one of its top products was based on Moonshot’s K2.5 model. Elon Musk’s SpaceX is planning to close a deal to buy Cursor for $60 billion later this year.\n\n\n\nK3 marks a leap for ‘open-source’ AI models\n\n\n\nMoonshot co-founder and CEO Yang Zhilin earned his Ph.D. in 2019 at Carnegie Mellon University, where he is said to have made fundamental contributions to the machine-learning field and was known for a love of rock bands like Pink Floyd.\n\n\n\nThe pride among his former colleagues at the Pennsylvania school transcends the U.S.-China rivalry.\n\n\n\n“What a huge win for the open-source community! It feels like just yesterday Zhilin was graduating from my lab at CMU,” wrote his former adviser Russ Salakhutdinov, who is also a former director of AI research at Apple.\n\n\n\nDevelopers who build “open-source” AI make key components of the technology accessible for anyone to examine, modify and build upon. Proponents say open-source practices promote innovation, while critics warn that making powerful AI models publicly accessible poses safety and security dangers. \n\n\n\nAssociated Press writer Chan Ho-him contributed to this report.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/tech/chinese-ai-model-kimi-k3-rivaling-claude-chatgpt/4051203/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Matt O'Brien | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-17T16:19:59.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FCHINA-AI.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C675","slug":"chinese-ai-model-takes-us-tech-industry-by-surprise-with-abilities-rivaling-claude-and-chatgpt"},{"id":"g6qjmp","title":"Suspected dog-attack death ruled a homicide, autopsy shows","excerpt":"A man believed to have died from a dog attack was later determined to be the victim of homicide.\n\n\n\nAccording to an update from the Dallas Police Department on Thursday, autopsy reports show that Antonio Dominic Turner died from injuries consistent with homicide and not a dog attack.\n\n\n\nBack in J...","content":"A man believed to have died from a dog attack was later determined to be the victim of homicide.\n\n\n\nAccording to an update from the Dallas Police Department on Thursday, autopsy reports show that Antonio Dominic Turner died from injuries consistent with homicide and not a dog attack.\n\n\n\nBack in January, the preliminary investigation determined he had been attacked by a dog inside a home on the 4100 block of Pringle Drive.

Police said that no further details were available, citing the ongoing investigation and additional pending forensic DNA testing.\n\n\n\nAccording to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by NBC 5, 79-year-old Larry Dean Brown was arrested on a murder warrant in Larimer County, Colorado, for the 1981 murder of 35-year-old Beverly Bruneau. \n\n\n\nBruneau, according to the document, was strangled to death with an electrical cord in her Grapevine apartment on Feb. 10, 1981. Her body was found in the living room by her boyfriend when he returned home from work at Braniff Airlines.\n\n\n\nBruneau told police he thought his girlfriend had been raped and murdered, but a subsequent report from the medical examiner determined the woman had not been sexually assaulted. Detectives investigating the murder said there were obvious signs of a struggle in the residence and that blood was found on the woman’s clothing and near the kitchen sink.\n\n\n\nInvestigators went to talk with the victim’s best friend, Thelma Brown, who also worked at Braniff and lived in Grapevine, but she was away on an international trip. Detectives spoke with Brown’s husband, Larry, who told police that Thelma and Beverly co-owned a residence where they had previously lived and that the residence had recently been damaged by a fire. Detectives noted a fresh wound on Larry’s right thumb.\n\n\n\nLarry Dean Brown, inset.\n\n\n\nIt’s unclear when the case went cold, but it was reopened in 2025. Investigators learned there was a financial motive related to the residence co-owned by the women, related to an agreement where if either married or left the residence, they would make alternative arrangements to cover expenses. After that agreement, investigators said Thelma married Larry, who had been laid off at Braniff and was feeling financial strain from a home purchased in Grapevine and continuing to meet Thelma’s financial obligation on the co-owned residence.\n\n\n\nAccording to the affidavit, Beverly refused to sell the property, take on a new roommate or release Thelma from her obligations. Investigators said on Nov. 3, 1980, while Beverly was away on a flight, the residence caught fire. After the first fire was put out, Larry Brown reported a second fire at the home that same night. In the affidavit, it’s noted that over the years, different investigators have indicated the fire was the result of arson.\n\n\n\nAfter the fire, Beverly moved in with her boyfriend and investigators said Larry began working with insurance on the damaged property on behalf of his wife. Repair estimates for the property “substantially exceeded” the insurance company’s appraisals, leading to a dispute when the insurer refused to pay the requested amount. Beverly’s family said Larry proposed inflating repair costs to get a larger payout and got into a heated argument with Beverly, who refused to participate in insurance fraud. After the murder, it was learned that Thelma forged Beverly’s signature on the insurance paperwork. \n\n\n\nDuring an interview with detectives after the murder, Larry Brown told investigators he was at his home in Grapevine on the day of the murder and had met with contractors at the damaged property between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. before he went to a job that afternoon. When asked about his injured thumb, investigators said he was reluctant to answer but later said he’d injured it on the job.\n\n\n\nInvestigators said Larry was initially cooperative in the investigation and was interviewed multiple times, but eventually refused direct questions, fingerprinting and polygraphs or to have injuries photographed.\n\n\n\nIn February 2026, Grapevine Police detectives contacted the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office for assistance in their investigation.

Health officials have said it’s likely that multiple outbreaks are ongoing in at least 34 states.\n\n\n\nThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in emailed statement Friday morning that shredded lettuce sold in grocery stores or served in other restaurants is not affected. \n\n\n\nNationwide, nearly 7,000 people may have been sickened with the stomach bug that causes weeks of severe diarrhea. As of Friday, the CDC had confirmed 1,644 of those cases and was investigating more than 5,100. No deaths have been reported.\n\n\n\nIn an emailed statement Thursday, Taco Bell said it has voluntarily removed lettuce suspected in the outbreak from its supply chain nationwide “indefinitely” and will replace it in selected states within the next day. \n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHealth & Wellness\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 17\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLettuce at Taco Bell in 5 states confirmed as a source of diarrhea-causing parasite\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHealth\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 16\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIceberg lettuce supplier investigated as possible source in cyclosporiasis outbreak\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHealth\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 14\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNearly 7,000 cases of cyclosporiasis confirmed or under investigation nationwide, CDC says\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nThe company did not name Taylor Farms in its statement, but said it believes “public health is a shared responsibility among restaurants, their suppliers, and authorities, and we are proud to have consistently acted quickly and proactively to protect our guests,” the statement read. “We encourage all relevant restaurants, retailers, and foodservice operators to do the same.”\n\n\n\nThe link between Taylor Farms and the outbreak was first reported by the Washington Post.\n\n\n\nMichigan has been hit the hardest in the outbreak, with 5,002 cases as of Friday. (The CDC’s count often lags behind state counts.) The state Health Department said that 102 people in Michigan have had to be hospitalized.\n\n\n\nMichigan health officials previously flagged lettuce and salad greens as a potential source based on more than 1,000 interviews with people who’ve tested positive. The health department has since conducted 2,025 such interviews. \n\n\n\nNot all people who’ve been sickened in Michigan say they ate at a Taco Bell. \n\n\n\n“Many did not report eating lettuce at a restaurant chain or other food establishment. However, lettuce still appeared frequently in food questionnaires, including those without restaurant or fast-food exposure, Michigan’s Health Department said in a statement Friday.\n\n\n\nGetting to the source of the outbreak has been difficult, as the incubation period for the parasite to make a person sick can be up to two weeks.\n\n\n\nThis isn’t the first time Taylor Farms has been connected to a cyclosporiasis outbreak. In 2013, 631 people in 25 states were sickened by a salad mix linked to the company, health officials concluded. Many of the illnesses occurred in Iowa and Nebraska among people who’d eaten at Olive Garden and Red Lobster. The outbreak was eventually traced to a salad mix from a Taylor Farms processing plant in Mexico.\n\n\n\nHealth officials also determined that Taylor Farms was also at the root of a 2024 E. coli outbreak linked to slivered onions on McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburgers. According to the Food and Drug Administration, 104 people were sickened in 14 states in that outbreak. Nearly three dozen were hospitalized, four people, including at least one child, developed severe kidney problems. One person, an older adult from Colorado, died.\n\n\n\nMarina Kopf contributed.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/taylor-farms-recalls-iceberg-lettuce-amid-cyclosporiasis-outbreak/4051154/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Erika Edwards and Sara G.

He always finds a way through them.”\n\n\n\nThat indomitable will was in full display during the meditative Walk for Peace that Pannakara led earlier this year with an international group of monks and his rescue dog, Aloka, who has become a mascot for the movement. The 2,300-mile journey started in Fort Worth on Oct. 26 and ended in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 14.\n\n\n\nAn ascetic walks into the spotlight\n\n\n\nPannakara’s discourses on mindfulness and kindness in churchyards, town squares and in front of the Lincoln Memorial drew large, diverse crowds. Millions worldwide followed along online.\n\n\n\nWithin weeks, the Walk for Peace had propelled this obscure monk into the spotlight as a leading voice for inner peace and unity in an increasingly divided nation. His popularity continues to soar, with some drawing comparisons with the Dalai Lama, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and the late Thich Nhat Hanh, a revered Zen master and peace activist who shared Pannakara’s Vietnamese roots.\n\n\n\nPannakara, who traveled to Southern California last weekend with Aloka for several speaking engagements, said he doesn’t care for all the attention.\n\n\n\n“There is no fame for monks,” he said. “I made a vow to walk to raise awareness of peace, loving kindness and compassion. That’s what it’s about.”\n\n\n\nAs part of his Theravada Buddhist practice, he follows “Vinaya” — a strict code of monastic rules. That means no social media accounts, personal possessions or handling money, and the practice of celibacy and modesty.\n\n\n\nHe doesn’t eat after noon and, according to Le, sleeps sitting up, which is not mandatory for Theravada monks, but adopted by some as an ascetic practice to deepen mindfulness.\n\n\n\nThe pivot from engineer to monk\n\n\n\nPannakara was born in Dak Lak, Vietnam, in 1981, the youngest of 10 children. He says his family was Buddhist in “name only.” He immigrated to the U.S. in 1997 and graduated with a degree in information technology from the University of Texas at Arlington. He said his first exposure to Buddhism was in the U.S. through temple summer camps and youth leadership.\n\n\n\nPannakara stepped away from his engineering career to become a novice monk and became fully ordained in 2010 by his teacher, the Most Venerable Ratanaguna, who he has often cited as his source of inspiration. There was not one life-changing event that prompted his decision, he said, but the cumulative effect of seeing his loved ones suffer and people trying to step on each other to move up.\n\n\n\n“To me everything just seemed fake,” he said.\n\n\n\nLe recalls that Pannakara’s parents were inconsolable.\n\n\n\n“Even on the day he was ordained, his mother came, and she cried a lot,” he said, adding that they eventually accepted it.\n\n\n\nLe said Pannakara was a quick learner, completing several projects on their campus including landscaping, a new kitchen, homes for the monastics and a memorial hall for deceased members.\n\n\n\nAt his teacher’s direction, Pannakara traveled to Myanmar between 2018 and 2020 to study and practice Vipassana meditation, an ancient technique taught by the Buddha himself as core for attaining enlightenment. When COVID hit, he returned to Fort Worth and organized food drives, said Amanda Phan, a temple member.\n\n\n\n“(Pannakara) is a rare human being,” she said. “He is an embodiment of kindness, compassion, wisdom — a bodhisattva — a being whose purpose is to relieve others from their suffering.”\n\n\n\nTransformative journey tracing the Buddha’s steps\n\n\n\nIn late 2022, Pannakara joined about 100 monks in a 2,100-mile (3,380-kilometer), 112-day pilgrimage tracing the footsteps of the Buddha — from his birthplace in Lumbini, Nepal, to Bodh Gaya where he attained enlightenment; Sarnath, the site of the first sermon; and Kushinagar, where he died. The monks emulated Buddha’s journey — walking barefoot, eating one meal a day, and sleeping under the stars.\n\n\n\n“I had learned the Buddha’s teachings from the Tipitaka (Buddhist canon),” Pannakara said. “But with this walk, I experienced it.”\n\n\n\nHe also learned about himself — about his strength to bear adversity and pain.\n\n\n\n“I learned that we can do much more than we think we’re capable of,” he said.\n\n\n\nThat journey also brought Aloka into his life. Aloka means light in Pali.\n\n\n\n“Even when he faced challenges and almost died he walked with us,” Pannakara said of his dog.\n\n\n\nIt was on a previous trip to Bodh Gaya — under the Bodhi tree where the Buddha attained enlightenment — that Pannakara said he had a vision to build stone stupas to preserve the sacred teachings for generations to come. Seven years later, he told Ratanaguna about his desire. With his teacher’s blessing, the plan for the $200-million Dhammacetiya project was born — 840 stupas bearing Buddha’s teachings in 10 languages, built to last 4,000 years.\n\n\n\nPannakara knelt before an assembly of monastics and visitors during the temple’s 2022 International Vesak Ceremony and vowed that if he is unable to complete the project in this lifetime, he would “be reborn to continue this project until its completion.” This project and the peace walks — which he plans to do more of — together uphold his vow to promote peace and preserve the Buddha’s teachings, he said.\n\n\n\nAjahn Nisabho, a Seattle-based Theravada Buddhist monk, said he was moved by Pannakara’s authenticity and commitment.\n\n\n\n“The story of his quilted robe that he stitched it together from pieces of cloth he picked up during the walk in India — he was honoring that past and that ethos,” Nisabho said. “As a fellow monk, it was inspiring for me to see floods of people walking behind him during the peace walk.”\n\n\n\nA conscious decision to steer clear of politics\n\n\n\nThe Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi, a senior Theravada monk who spoke at the conclusion of the Walk for Peace in Washington, said Pannakara was wise to remain silent on politics during his walk. But Bodhi, 81, hopes he does speak up on critical social issues like poverty, hunger, housing and the climate.\n\n\n\n“I just hope that as (Pannakara) becomes more established and gets accustomed to publicity, he’ll consider taking a stand on these issues that have deep moral and spiritual significance,” he said.\n\n\n\nNisabho believes Pannakara made the right decision to steer clear of politics and activism. He said there are not many spaces today that are able to welcome the kind of diversity the peace walk attracted — with the exception of Dolly Parton “who brings truckers and drag queens together.”\n\n\n\n“The vision of a monastic is the one chance someone has, to be inspired toward awakening and find an escape from suffering,” Nisabho said. “If you bring politics into that, you cause damage by alienating half the country.”\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nAssociated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP’s collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

But another round of showers worsened already swollen rivers and flooded rural communities near the border with Mexico that had largely been spared major damage.\n\n\n\nTexas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a 20-page major disaster declaration to open the door to federal relief to assist in the rebuilding of the region. The disaster order includes 28 counties hardest hit by the devastating floodwaters. The governor said more counties can be added as needed. In addition to Uvalde, the areas under the greatest threat include the counties along the Nueces River including Zavala, Dimmitt, Real, Sutton and Crockett.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbbott said the state has rescued more than 270 people and that local authorities have rescued another 300. About 125 people remain in shelters in the Uvalde area.\n\n\n\nNear Ozona, a small town about 200 miles west of San Antonio, floodwaters spilled over Interstate 10. A section of a bridge also collapsed over the Nueces River in Uvalde County, where months’ worth of rain has fallen in a span of days.\n\n\n\nEmergency personnel across a wide swath of southern and central Texas have rescued more than 200 people, including stranded drivers and people trapped in homes, Abbott said. In the Texas Hill Country, residents were beginning to clean up after floodwaters again barrelled down the Guadalupe River and through communities still reeling from deadly floods a year ago.\n\n\n\nAn aerial view shows debris along the Guadalupe River after a series of storms Friday, July 17, 2026, in Kerrville, Texas. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)\n\n\n\n“The water’s up to the top of the banks,” Sutton County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Jon Gann said. “If we get any more, we’re going to be into homes.”\n\n\n\nThe Texas Department of Transportation said high waters closed a 50-mile stretch of U.S. Highway 57 and that parts of the roadway were not expected to reopen until Monday.\n\n\n\nIn all, the downpours put roughly 6 million residents across Texas under a flood watch at various points this week.\n\n\n\nResidents in hard-hit Uvalde return to flooded homes\n\n\n\nIn Uvalde, one of the hardest-hit cities from flooding, waters were receding and officials said a major highway, Route 90, had reopened after floodwaters had overrun the city and cut off most outside routes.\n\n\n\nSandra Gomez was assessing the damage at her Uvalde home on Friday after having left it before the flooding. She said about 6 inches of water got inside and left mud throughout the house, where she’s lived since last year. She said she was luckier than other people she knows whose homes were under 5 or 6 feet of water.\n\n\n\n“Well, really it’s very, very emotional,” she said. “Material things I can replace. It may take a while, but I can replace those; but I cannot replace my family. So, my family’s safe and that’s all that really matters.”\n\n\n\nElla and Grace Sanford and their dog Benjamin ride on a Texas Game Wardens rescue boat after being evacuated from their home after flooding in Uvalde, Texas, on Thursday, July 16, 2026. (Casy Sanford via AP)\n\n\n\nOne person who died was driving on a flooded road and was swept away near Uvalde, authorities said.\n\n\n\nAnother victim, 65-year-old John Mark Steward of Kerrville, died after his mobile home was swept into Goat Creek on the Guadalupe River, his wife said. The river is the same one that was wrecked by flash floods last year when two dozen children and counselors died at Camp Mystic. Authorities on Thursday said summer campers were safe.\n\n\n\n\n\nNearly 1 trillion gallons of rainfall\n\n\n\nAuthorities in Crockett County evacuated more than 50 people Friday morning from apartments and an RV park in the southern part of the county seat of Ozona, using seven rescue boat teams.

The company disclosed that this was in connection to a ransomware event — and in response, it took some operations offline.\n\n\n\n“Product quality and safety have not been impacted,” Atlanta-based Coca-Cola said in a statement. “However, as a result of the incident, production operations at Fairlife in the United States are temporarily suspended.”\n\n\n\nFairlife’s Canadian operations were not affected. The full scope and impacts of the attack are otherwise still unknown, Coca-Cola added — but the beverage giant said it had informed law enforcement, and is also working with cybersecurity experts as it continues its investigation and recovery to restore operations.\n\n\n\nA company spokesperson said there were no further updates to share as of Friday morning.\n\n\n\nCyberattacks are on the rise across sectors. Beyond dairy goods, other breaches have recently resulted in anything from core education services getting knocked offline to empty shelves at popular clothing or grocery stores.\n\n\n\nRansomware attacks — in which hackers demand a hefty payment to restore hacked systems — also account for a growing share of cyber crimes. And experts note that attackers know there’s a particular impact when going after well-known brands and products that shoppers buy or need every day.\n\n\n\nFairlife touts over $3 billion in annual retail sales today.

She said they stayed in touch only intermittently as Trachtenberg’s condition worsened.\n\n\n\n“She got into drugs and alcohol, I believe, and then I lost touch with her,” O’Donnell said in an interview with Variety. “In the last few years, when she was in pretty bad shape, she would call me and we would talk.”\n\n\n\nShe said they attempted to meet several times but Trachtenberg never followed through. “We were supposed to see each other three or four times, and she just never showed up … She was not in good shape.”\n\n\n\nO’Donnell recalled moments when Trachtenberg missed plans they had made. \n\n\n\n“Sometimes at restaurants, other times at my house where we’d had someone prepare the whole meal,” O’Donnell said. “I would call her and go, ‘Honey, are you heading over?’ and she’d go, ‘Was that today?’ She was not in good shape.”\n\n\n\nO’Donnell said she didn’t expect the situation to become fatal. \n\n\n\n“I didn’t think that she would die,” she said, adding that addiction often blindsides loved ones. “With most people suffering from addiction, their loved ones think that they’ll survive it, but you can die from your addiction … and it happens too often.”\n\n\n\nShe also reflected on Trachtenberg’s early talent and close family ties.\n\n\n\n“She was a real genius child … connected and right there,” O’Donnell said. “She was so close to her mother, Lana, and her sister, who’s a ballerina. They were a very loving family.”\n\n\n\nO’Donnell said Trachtenberg’s decline reminded her of other high‑profile struggles, comparing it to Whitney Houston’s years‑long battle with addiction that ultimately contributed to her death following an accidental drowning in 2012.\n\n\n\n“It reminded me of Whitney Houston where everyone knew what was going on, but no one was willing to say something,” she added.\n\n\n\nTrachtenberg, known for “Harriet the Spy,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Gossip Girl,” died earlier this year at age 39 after being found in her Manhattan apartment. Months before her death, she had responded to fans’ concerns about her appearance on social media, telling followers she was “happy and healthy.”\n\n\n\nThe medical examiner later determined Trachtenberg died of natural causes from complications of diabetes mellitus. The office said it was able to make the determination following laboratory tests.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tparenting\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOct 29, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRosie O'Donnell asks for fans' support as daughter Chelsea faces ‘scary future'\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCelebrity News\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMar 11, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRosie O'Donnell reveals why she left the US and moved to Ireland\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nO’Donnell said Trachtenberg had become increasingly unreachable in her final years, noting her own family has faced similar challenges.\n\n\n\n“Addiction has hit my family, too.

All that texting and scrolling might be stressing out your fingers.\n\n\n\nThe term texting thumb can describe a wide range of phone-related pains caused by tired-out tendons and achy joints — like general stiffness, throbbing near the knuckle and a clicking sensation when bending the thumb. If left untreated, repetitive typing and swiping can lead to more serious issues like carpal tunnel and arthritis.\n\n\n\nPeople have pecked away at devices for decades with warnings about overuse injuries — think BlackBerry thumb. Today’s smartphones have gotten larger and heavier, and the way we use them has also shifted: Beyond talking and texting, it’s common to doomscroll for hours, pay medical bills and even watch full-length movies and TV shows.\n\n\n\n“Mobile devices are here to stay. So rather than saying ‘you can’t be on your device,’ we really just need to learn and think about ways to make the devices compatible with modern life,” said Dr. Maureen O’Shaughnessy with the University of Kentucky HealthCare Hand Center.\n\n\n\nTo avoid texter’s thumb, switch up your posture\n\n\n\nLocking wrists and elbows in the same position for hours can lead to soreness in places like the base of the thumb or wrist. Holding phones upright for long periods can also tire other fingers.\n\n\n\nO’Shaughnessy said people tend to realize the painful effects when they’re not on their device as much, such as being on vacation. That is when phone-related irritation or dull aches go away.\n\n\n\nThe simplest way to ease this pain is to go touch grass — that is, limit phone time or take short breaks in between scrolling spurts. But that’s easier said than done. If a detox feels difficult, try to mix up postures, switch hands to type and use the index or other fingers.\n\n\n\nBuilt-in accessibility features can also minimize thumb overuse. Try sending messages using the voice-to-text feature and enlarge the text size so you don’t have to hold the phone so close.\n\n\n\nThere are also circle and ring-shaped grip accessories that attach to the back of the phone and more evenly distribute the weight across the hand. They can also double as a stand to prop up your phone to watch videos and TV.\n\n\n\nSimple thumb and wrist stretches can offer relief\n\n\n\nIf your hands are throbbing after a long day of screen time, stretch them out daily. Flex the wrist by tilting your palm toward and away from you, pulling and pushing down with the other hand. O’Shaughnessy also recommended flexing each of the fingers and making small circles with your thumbs.\n\n\n\nFor pain at the base of the thumb, you can place your hand on a flat surface and pull the thumb away from the other fingers, holding that for about 30 seconds.\n\n\n\nIf the aches, numbing or tingling persist even after limiting screen time and using remedies like ibuprofen or ice, see a doctor to see if it could be something more serious. \n\n\n\nConstant phone use can exacerbate thumb arthritis or cause De Quervain’s tenosynovitis — sharp pain or swelling at the base of the thumb and wrist. It can also lead to carpal tunnel, caused by a pinched nerve. Trigger thumb, a painful catching in the thumb when you bend it, is caused by an inflamed tendon.\n\n\n\nIt’s easy to get trapped in an endless cycle of scrolling and swiping. Taking a quick, intentional break to adjust posture can still make a difference.\n\n\n\n“Our hands were not designed to use phones all day long,” said Dr. Eugene Tsai, a surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine. “In order for us to use the phones, we have to be kind to our hands.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/tech/texting-thumb-tips-soothe-phone-related-pains/4051037/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Adithi Ramakrishnan | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-17T13:24:09.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26195624570698.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3000%2C2022","slug":"got-texting-thumb-heres-how-to-soothe-phone-related-pains"},{"id":"rg8tkc","title":"DNA from a Revolutionary War soldier reveals an orphan fighting in the snows at Valley Forge","excerpt":"After 246 years, Pvt.

John Pumphrey is unknown no more.\n\n\n\nThrough DNA testing and old-fashioned sleuthing, the Maryland teenager who died in one of the last big battles of the American Revolution can now take his place in history, just in time for the 250th birthday of the nation he fought to create.\n\n\n\n“There was a sense of divine timing, I guess,” said Allison Peacock, founder of FHD Forensics, a company that helped with the search. “I don’t know what else you want to call it.”\n\n\n\nPumphrey died Aug. 16, 1780, at the Battle of Camden, South Carolina. It was one of the Continental Army’s most devastating defeats, where British Gen. Charles Lord Cornwallis routed patriot forces under Maj. Gen. Horatio Gates.\n\n\n\nMany of the 900 killed were left where they fell, abandoned to the predations of wild animals, South Carolina’s scorching heat and its ruinous humidity.\n\n\n\nBones emerge from a Revolutionary War battlefield\n\n\n\nArchaeologists surveying the area in 2020 came across human bones protruding from the ground. Eventually, 14 sets of remains were identified — 12 of them Continental soldiers. The others were determined to be connected to the British side and were reburied at the battlefield.\n\n\n\nThe Richland County Coroner’s Office had worked with Texas-based FHD Forensics on modern-day cases and asked for their help. Peacock took to calling it the case of “America’s oldest John Doe.”\n\n\n\n“What we did is pretty much the same as what we do with any other John Doe case,” she said. “Nobody really knew for sure whether we could get genetic profiles suitable for a genealogy investigation on 240-plus-year-old remains. But we got lucky.”\n\n\n\nUnlike most, Pumphrey and four comrades received a cursory burial beneath a thin layer of dirt. He was dubbed “Camden 9B,” because his were the second set of remains retrieved from burial nine. The remains were examined and cataloged.\n\n\n\nThe 12 Continentals were later reinterred with full military honors. Camden 9B’s headstone read: “UNKNOWN. REV WAR. BATTLE OF CAMDEN.

Peacock’s team then uploaded the data to FamilyTreeDNA and GEDmatch to trace three types of DNA matches: autosomal, X chromosome and Y chromosome. \n\n\n\n“We got 20,000 matches to work with,” she said. “So, it was a lot to kind of comb through.”\n\n\n\nThis undated photo provided by the Maryland State Archives on Thursday, July 16, 2026, shows a copy of Pvt. John Pumphrey’s re-enlistment contract with the 7th Maryland Regiment, dated Feb. 28, 1779. \n\n\n\nAn orphan soldier’s life comes into focus\n\n\n\nOne of those matches, from the maternal line, was Russ Hudson.\n\n\n\nThe retired federal agent in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, offered to help do archival research. A profile began to emerge of a young orphan from Maryland’s Anne Arundel County, dispossessed and looking for his way in life.\n\n\n\n“I learned that probably when he was 13, he went to Baltimore and he enlisted in the militia,” Hudson said. “And who knows what his story was? What did he accomplish in order to become a member of the militia at such a young age?”\n\n\n\nBecause no birth record has been found, it’s unclear how old Pumphrey was when he went to war. He signed his reenlistment papers with an “X.” But he was young enough that, when he died, the growth plates around his knees had not yet fully closed, Peacock said. \n\n\n\nA witness to history\n\n\n\nResearchers now know Pumphrey and his comrades from the 7th Maryland Regiment were with George Washington in the snows at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Peacock said his unit was involved in some of the major contests in the Northern Theater, including the battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth.\n\n\n\nShe figures he had marched 1,000 miles before he met his end in the pinelands of South Carolina.\n\n\n\n“We don’t really know what John Pumphrey’s cause of death was because they did not find a particular injury on his body,” she said. “It’s possible that he had a soft tissue injury, like a bayonet injury, but it’s a little hard to tell after 246 years.”\n\n\n\nAn unexpected twist and an emotional reunion\n\n\n\nWork continues on the other set of remains, Camden 11A. One thing is certain: Peacock is related to him.\n\n\n\n“One of the first things I do when I take on a case is I run my DNA against the remains to see if it’s somebody I’m related to, just on the wild chance that it might be,” she said. “It’s never happened before, but I am related to Camden 11A. So, I’m very motivated to get him identified.”\n\n\n\nRelatives of Revolutionary War Pvt. John Pumphrey pose for a photo outside the 19th century Benson-Hammond House in Linthicum Heights, Maryland, on June 18, 2026. \n\n\n\nLast month, Peacock was confident enough in the research to put a name to Camden 9B. Relatives wept during an emotional ceremony at the 19th-century Benson-Hammond House in Anne Arundel County.\n\n\n\n“The fact that some archaeologists just happened to stumble on bones that were protruding from the earth, and knowing that it would be difficult to identify those people by DNA, I just found it really exciting,” Becky Berman of Daytona Beach, Florida, Pumphrey’s first cousin, several times removed, told The Associated Press.\n\n\n\nFor Hudson, the retired federal agent, the story won’t be over until the U.S. government confirms the research and replaces his fifth great-uncle’s “UNKNOWN” gravestone. He said America owes it to John Pumphrey.\n\n\n\n“He sacrificed himself, along with some others,” Hudson said, his eyes tearing up, “for the sake of this new nation.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/dna-skull-unknown-revolutionary-war-soldier/4051084/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Allen G.

It’s coming Sunday afternoon against the Los Angeles Sparks; the Wings were supposed to host the New York Liberty on Thursday night, but that game was postponed to Monday because the Liberty’s charter flight had mechanical issues.\n\n\n\nThe Wings (16-8) are off the best start to a season in a decade. The Sparks (10-13) are one of the three worst teams in the Western Conference by record. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis is the Wings’ first game in Arlington since June 28.They spent two weeks on the road, without a loss, before defeating the Chicago Sky at the American Airlines Center, in front of a crowd of 13,236, on Sunday night for their fifth straight win – their longest winning streak since 2023.\n\n\n\nThe Wings have two more games at the AAC this season: Aug. 7 against Golden State and Aug. 20, when Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever come to town.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Wings currently have the fourth-best record in the league; the top eight teams make the playoffs. The Wings have 20 games remaining in their WNBA regular season. Only eight of the Wings’ remaining games are against teams that currently have a winning record: New York (13-11), Atlanta (13-10), Washington (11-10), Golden State (17-7), Minnesota (17-6), and Indiana (14-9). The Wings play Washington, Golden State, and Indiana twice before the season ends. Their last seven games of the season are against teams with a losing record.\n\n\n\nBueckers, an All-Star starter, is top five in the league in scoring (20.7 ppg). Kelsey Plum for the Sparks is second at 23.9 points per game. The only player scoring more points per game on a team with a better record than Bueckers is reigning four-time league MVP A’ja Wilson. Bueckers and Plum are two guards competing for spots on the 2028 Team USA Olympic basketball team in Los Angeles. Plum won a Gold Medal in Paris in 2024; Bueckers made her senior team debut earlier this year.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe women’s team is seeking its ninth straight Gold Medal – a streak that started at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.

The vehicle was going at 70 mph when the crash occurred, the agency said.\n\n\n\nAccording to a NTSB report released Wednesday, the car was on a residential road when it “partially entered a driveway, and crashed into a residence.”\n\n\n\nThe driver had engaged Tesla’s Advanced Driver Assistance System, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) at the time of the crash, the NTSB report said. \n\n\n\nBut, it continued, “electronic data recovered from the vehicle indicated that before the crash, the driver manually overrode FSD (Supervised) by pressing the accelerator pedal to 100%, and the vehicle’s speed was greater than 70 mph when the crash occurred.” \n\n\n\nAs a result, the woman inside the home was killed, and the driver sustained minor injuries, the NTSB said. \n\n\n\nButler has since been charged with manslaughter in connection with Avila’s death. Prosecutors and investigators have not yet said whether the car was at all to blame.\n\n\n\nAn attorney for Butler did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the findings. \n\n\n\nThe agency pointed out that the residential road, Rose Hollow Lane, has a speed limit of 30 mph. Also, at the time of the crash, “the weather was clear, the roadway was dry, and daylight conditions were present,” the NTSB report said. \n\n\n\nThe NTSB findings echo what Ashok Elluswamy, vice president of AI software at Tesla, said days after the crash, defending the vehicle’s systems.\n\n\n\n“In this case, the driver manually overrode self-driving by pressing the accelerator all the way to 100% of the accelerator pedal in this residential area,” Elluswamy wrote on X on June 22.\n\n\n\nTesla and its CEO, Elon Musk, did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment on Thursday. \n\n\n\nBut Philip Koopman, a professor emeritus at Carnegie Mellon University who has been working on self-driving car safety for 30 years, told NBC News that the findings from the NTSB report might not tell the whole story. \n\n\n\nHe said the NTSB must also consider whether “computer or electronics malfunction caused a false accelerator pedal reading.” \n\n\n\n“As with any allegation of unintended acceleration by a driver, a thorough investigation must consider the potential for human driver error, but also mechanical failure, electronics failure, and software failure,” he said. \n\n\n\nAccording to the arrest affidavit, Butler told police he did not feel sick at the time of the crash and did not have any alcohol or drugs in his system. \n\n\n\nHe said he was making a DoorDash delivery when he changed the music on the Tesla’s touchscreen and eventually “passed out,” according to the court documents. \n\n\n\nNo further information was available on Butler’s condition at the time of the crash. \n\n\n\nKoopman pointed out that the “100% pedal position” at the time of the crash could be due to a number of other factors, including the driver’s foot, but also a foreign object, a mechanical pedal malfunction, a wiring harness failure, a computer hardware or software malfunction, among other factors or a combination of factors. \n\n\n\n“To the degree that Tesla makes relevant information available, NTSB should also be looking for potential common cause failures in otherwise redundant systems,” Koopman suggested. \n\n\n\nHe added that he hopes the final NTSB report “will make clear what potential causes other than human driver error could not be ruled out because insufficient information was available.”\n\n\n\nBrett Schreiber, who represented the families of two victims in another Tesla crash, said the driver’s behavior reported by the NTSB “is not ordinary… on a low-speed residential street.” \n\n\n\n“Tesla has faced years of allegations from drivers who reported their vehicles suddenly accelerating without warning, only to be told the recorded data blamed them,” Schreiber explained. “But electronic data recorders only log the values the vehicle’s own computer generated.”\n\n\n\nThe NTSB said the crash remains under investigation while it determines probable cause. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has also opened a special crash investigation into the crash.\n\n\n\nNBC News previously reported that those involved in other similar Tesla crashes — some of which resulted in deaths — have taken issue with the way the company led by Musk advertises Full Self-Driving, noting that the technology requires more human oversight than the name suggests. \n\n\n\n“The more driving tasks automation assumes, the more important it becomes to support the driver’s attention, understanding, and ability to intervene when the system reaches its limits,” Bryan Reimer, an MIT researcher and adviser on the future of mobility and AI, said Thursday after reviewing the NTSB report. \n\n\n\nHe added: “Names such as Full Self-Driving can communicate a level of capability that the system does not actually provide. Clearer naming is a basic part of helping drivers understand their continuing responsibility.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/tesla-driver-car-slammed-texas-home-overrode-driver-assistance-mode-ntsb/4050994/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Rebecca Cohen and Austin Mullen | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-17T11:25:09.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fcrash.png%3Ffit%3D1984%2C1330%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"tesla-driver-whose-car-slammed-into-texas-home-overrode-driver-assistance-mode-ntsb-says"},{"id":"nghfhw","title":"Here's why American elections are so complicated — and secure","excerpt":"In a speech to the nation Thursday evening, President Donald Trump said Americans deserve secure elections, and he claimed to be using federal authority to prevent them from being “stolen.”\n\n\n\nIn fact, one of the strongest security features of U.S. elections is the fact that they aren’t conducted...","content":"In a speech to the nation Thursday evening, President Donald Trump said Americans deserve secure elections, and he claimed to be using federal authority to prevent them from being “stolen.”\n\n\n\nIn fact, one of the strongest security features of U.S. elections is the fact that they aren’t conducted at the federal level.

While Congress has the power to regulate elections — and has used that authority to pass such laws as the Voting Rights Act — the Constitution makes clear that states have primary authority to set the “times, places and manner” for elections.\n\n\n\nThere also is no national election agency that administers the presidential contest, something that’s different from many other countries. And when it comes to doing the day-to-day work of running an election, the responsibility falls to officials at the local level — usually a clerk or election supervisor — with help from staff and volunteers.\n\n\n\nWhile differences in election laws can get confusing, election security experts say this structure is a strength. That’s because to pull off stealing a presidential election — as Trump falsely claims was done to him in 2020 — it would require large numbers of election workers in the most competitive counties across the country who are willing to risk prosecution, prison time and fines while working with officials from both parties willing to look the other way. And everyone somehow would have to keep quiet — a highly unlikely scenario.\n\n\n\nThere are also shared practices and security measures in place across the country that together work to ensure that only eligible voters can cast a ballot and only one ballot is counted for each.\n\n\n\n\n\nVoter fraud can happen, but it’s rare and there are safeguards to catch it\n\n\n\nMost Americans by now have probably heard stories about someone casting multiple ballots, or voting in the name of dead relatives, or stealing mail ballots from mailboxes. \n\n\n\nWhen these incidents happen, they are often caught and prosecuted.\n\n\n\nVoting more than once, tampering with ballots, lying about your residence to vote somewhere else or casting someone else’s ballot are crimes that can be punished with hefty fines and prison time. Non-U.S. citizens who break election laws can be deported.\n\n\n\nFor anyone still motivated to cheat, election systems in the United States are designed with multiple layers of protection and transparency intended to stand in the way.\n\n\n\nFor example, for in-person voting, most states either require or request voters provide some sort of identification at the polls. Others require voters to verify who they are in another way, such as stating their name and address, signing a poll book or signing an affidavit.\n\n\n\nFor absentee voting, all states require a voter’s signature, and many states have further precautions, such as having bipartisan teams compare the signature with other signatures on file, requiring the signature to be notarized or requiring a witness to sign.\n\n\n\nThat means even if a ballot is erroneously sent to someone’s past address and the current resident mails it in, there are checks to alert election workers to the foul play.\n\n\n\n\n\nAP review found there was too little voter fraud to tip the 2020 election\n\n\n\nTrump has spent six years insisting he won the 2020 election, a campaign he lost to former President Joe Biden.\n\n\n\nAn Associated Press review in 2021 dug into every potential case of voter fraud in the six battleground states that Trump disputed. It found fewer than 475 cases — a number that would have made no difference in that race.\n\n\n\nAllegations from Trump of massive voting fraud have been refuted by a variety of judges, state election officials and an arm of his own administration’s Homeland Security Department. In 2020, then-Attorney General William Barr, a Trump appointee, told the AP that no proof of widespread voter fraud had been uncovered. “To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election,” he said at the time.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/politics/why-american-elections-complicated-secure/4051020/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Ali Swenson | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-17T11:14:45.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F05%2FGettyImages-1202502780.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4000%2C2667","slug":"heres-why-american-elections-are-so-complicated-and-secure"},{"id":"1ug4w8","title":"Magnitude 7.3 earthquake strikes off Pacific coast near Mexico and Guatemala","excerpt":"A strong earthquake struck the southern Mexican Pacific coast on Friday, right on the border with Guatemala, and was felt from Mexico City to El Salvador.

Authorities have not immediately reported any severe damage or casualties in any country.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. Geological Survey reported that the earthquake had a magnitude of 7.3 with the epicenter 30 miles southwest of Aquiles Serdan, near the coast of Chiapas and at a depth of nine miles. It was preceded by a smaller quake with an epicenter a bit farther out in the ocean.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere were at least five aftershocks between magnitude 5.1 and 6, according to USGS.\n\n\n\nIn Tapachula, the main city on Mexico’s southern border, the tremor began mildly but gradually intensified.\n\n\n\n“We were upstairs on the second floor when it started shaking; we thought it would pass, but then it got stronger, so we all went downstairs and evacuated in an orderly manner to the front courtyard,” Alejandra Mendoza, an administrative employee at a public hospital in the city, explained to The Associated Press.\n\n\n\nIn Guatemala City, the earthquake frightened residents because of how long it lasted. Many people poured into the streets in the middle of rush hour as the workday was beginning and several buildings were evacuated.\n\n\n\nGuatemala’s National Coordinator for Disaster Reduction (CONRED) reported no immediate damage. Social media users posted videos of some landslides, especially on roads heading west.\n\n\n\nThe Ministry of Education suspended in-person classes in the departments of San Marcos, Quetzaltenango, Suchitepéquez and Retalhuleu, near the quake’s epicenter.\n\n\n\nIn the Mexican capital, where buildings in certain areas creaked and shook, the earthquake alert did not sound because, the government said, “the energy radiated by the earthquake during the first few seconds did not exceed the activation thresholds.”\n\n\n\nMexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said that preliminary reports showed no damage. The navy recommended staying away from beaches for six hours because of tsunami risk.\n\n\n\nThe Meteorological Service of Chiapas alerted that there could be tsunami waves up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) off the coast of Mexico and Guatemala.\n\n\n\nIn the town of Suchiate, located along the river that separates Mexico from Guatemala, coastal areas are being monitored for tsunami risk, according to Mayor Elmer Vázquez Gallardo.\n\n\n\nThe region is prone to earthquakes, many that can be deadly. Earlier this year, a strong earthquake rattled southern and central Mexico, killing two. Hundreds in Mexico City were killed in a 7.1 magnitude earthquake in 2017.\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nSonia Pérez D. contributed from Guatemala City.

They accuse him of attacking women in his life over the years, and one shared a voicemail with the AP from last winter in which he told her that he thought someone should slit her throat.\n\n\n\nBrouillette’s troubling past further challenges how thoroughly the Department of Homeland Security has vetted recruits as it went on a hiring spree to help carry out President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.\n\n\n\nAt least 10 people have died in encounters with immigration agents since Trump launched the crackdown after retaking office, including 25-year-old Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a Colombian national who was shot and killed by Brouillette on Monday while in his car near his home in the coastal Maine city of Biddeford.\n\n\n\n\n\nDHS, which hasn’t released the name of the officer who killed Durán Guerrero, has said the “vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.”\n\n\n\nBrouillette didn’t respond to text messages or an email seeking comment. Three relatives who said they had spoken to him since the shooting, including an ex-wife and daughter, said he told them he acted in self-defense.\n\n\n\nWhen reached for comment about Brouillette’s record and his role in Monday’s shooting, ICE spokesperson Lauren Bis said in a statement that, “We will never confirm or deny attempts to dox our law enforcement officers,” and that “The ICE officer in question has nearly a decade of federal law enforcement experience with required training including use of force training.”\n\n\n\nThe White House referred all questions about the shooting and Brouillette to ICE.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tU.S. & World\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaine\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 15\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump says ICE should continue traffic stops after recent fatal shootings\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaine\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 13\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPerson fatally shot by ICE officer during Maine traffic stop\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nA new career in ICE \n\n\n\nBrouillette, 37, told his ex-wife Ashley Brouillette late last year that he had been hired by ICE. She said that because of his long history of psychiatric issues, she thought he was having a mental health episode and she didn’t believe him. She didn’t realize he’d been telling the truth until this week, when videos began circulating online of the moments surrounding the shooting.\n\n\n\nAshley Brouillette poses for a portrait at a park in Harrison, Mich., on Thursday, July 16, 2026. \n\n\n\nAshley Brouillette told the AP that she spoke to her ex-husband in a Facebook audio call, and he acknowledged that he had killed Durán Guerrero. Their 18-year-old daughter, Madison Brouillette, also told the AP that her father called her Wednesday and said that he shot and killed Durán Guerrero.\n\n\n\nDavid and Ashley Brouillette were high school sweethearts who got married in 2007. She said she divorced him in 2009 because he had become physically violent with her, which began after she got pregnant with their daughter.\n\n\n\nAccording to Ashley Brouillette, he once threw boiling water at her while she was holding their child — an incident her mother Avis Collins also recounted.\n\n\n\nThe abuse continued after she left him, she said.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tIn the News\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCalifornia\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tApr 7\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tICE involved in shooting in California's Central Valley, investigation underway\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFBI\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJan 23\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFBI agent resigns over investigation into shooting of Renee Good, sources say\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGolden State Warriors\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJan 9\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWarriors coach Steve Kerr addresses fatal ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nDavid Brouillette doesn’t appear to have a criminal record in Maine, as a check with the Maine Department of Public Safety returned no records for him.\n\n\n\nBut hundreds of family court records obtained from the Augusta District Court clerk’s office detail years of allegations of physical and verbal abuse raised by his second ex-wife on behalf of herself and his daughters.\n\n\n\nThe ex-wife — whom the AP is not identifying because she fears retaliation — alleged that he had stalked and harassed her and physically and verbally abused his daughter, according to multiple requests for temporary protection orders. Brouillette tackled his teenage daughter and smashed spaghetti in her hair, and during another outburst, he dragged his daughter around the house as she cried, she said.\n\n\n\n“Dave needs counseling or something for his PTSD & depression,” she wrote in an application for a temporary protective order on behalf of his teenage daughter which a judge granted in 2021.\n\n\n\nIn court filings, David Brouillette said that his second ex-wife had slandered him.\n\n\n\nHis oldest daughter, Madison Brouillette, said she also witnessed her dad’s volatility.\n\n\n\n“I watched my dad struggle a lot with a lot of things,” she told the AP. She said she came home from school once and he told her he had been sitting on a tree stump with a gun to his head.\n\n\n\n“If you don’t really, truly take care of yourself, there’s no way you can protect other people. And with my dad, he never wanted to get help,” she said.\n\n\n\nAn immediate relative of David Brouillette who spoke on the condition that their name not be used said he was diagnosed with severe bipolar disorder and attention deficit disorder as a child — a diagnosis that Ashley Brouillette confirmed. The immediate relative described him as “extremely mentally ill” and said he attempted suicide twice at age 12 and was hospitalized multiple times.\n\n\n\nThe relative said they’ve been estranged for years, after they broke off contact because they feared he would harm them. He did not respond to their outreach this week, the relative added.\n\n\n\nA military deployment and law enforcement aspirations\n\n\n\nGrowing up in Gardiner, a city of about 6,000 people roughly 60 miles (97 kilometers) northeast of Biddeford, where Monday’s shooting occurred, David Brouillette was enchanted by law enforcement and the military, his relatives said.\n\n\n\nHigh school yearbook photos show he was a member of the school’s Naval Junior ROTC, and he wrote that he planned to go to college and become a police officer.\n\n\n\nBrouillette was initially rejected by military recruiters because of his mental health diagnoses, but recruiters encouraged him to go off his medications for a year and reapply, which he did, his immediate relative said. \n\n\n\nHe was eventually able to enlist.\n\n\n\nAccording to U.S. military records, Brouillette enlisted as a chemical equipment repairer in the Maine Army National Guard but then changed jobs to be a medical logistics specialist. He was in the Guard from November 2007 until January 2010, according to records provided by the Pentagon.\n\n\n\nA 2009 article in the Kennebec Journal listed Brouillette as a private in the Maine Army National Guard’s 152nd Maintenance Company in Augusta.\n\n\n\nIn January 2010 he joined the regular Army as a human intelligence collector. Brouillette deployed to Afghanistan from May 2012 to February 2013 and eventually left the Army as a sergeant in December 2015.\n\n\n\nHis immediate relative believes Brouillette’s time abroad worsened his emotional struggles: “Afghanistan destroyed him — trained him to be a killing monster, a machine. They took someone who was extremely mentally ill and turned him into a killing machine.”\n\n\n\n\n\nLife after the Army\n\n\n\nAfter his discharge, Brouillette held a hodgepodge of jobs — some in or adjacent to law enforcement — and was injured in an accident while training to become a firefighter, public records and court documents show.\n\n\n\nBrouillette worked for the Maine Correctional Center — a medium-security prison — and for the state’s Health and Human Services Department, spending less than a year at each.\n\n\n\nIn 2019, court documents show, he was a police officer at a Department of Veterans Affairs medical center near the state capital, Augusta. A Veterans Affairs department spokesperson on Thursday referred questions about Brouillette’s employment to DHS.\n\n\n\nBut by the end of 2021, he wrote in a text message included in court filings, he was broke, going to school full-time and making money delivering food for DoorDash.\n\n\n\nBrouillette was enrolled in a firefighting program at Southern Maine Community College and was struck in the head by a steel beam while unloading a trailer at a training facility, according to a lawsuit he filed over his injury.\n\n\n\nHe sustained a concussion and post-concussive syndrome, with symptoms including impaired memory, cognitive deficits, headaches, vertigo and light sensitivity, and was unable to complete the program, according to the lawsuit, which was settled out of court.\n\n\n\nIn recent years, court filings show, he was collecting disability pay through the VA. He also drove a truck, but quit in January 2025, citing health issues.\n\n\n\nIn March 2025, Brouillette passed an exam to become a real estate sales agent. His license was active until December. In a Facebook post, Realty of Maine announced Brouillette would be working in the firm’s Bangor office.\n\n\n\n“David lives in Maine after retiring from the United States Army,” said the post, which has since been deleted. Brouillette is no longer listed as an agent on the firm’s website. Messages seeking comment were left for Realty of Maine.\n\n\n\nIn March, the Maine agency that handles child support matters filed a lien against him, public records show. The filing suggests that Brouillette may have been in line for a permanent impairment or disability settlement.\n\n\n\n‘I don’t think he sees himself as a killer’\n\n\n\nIn late 2025, around the time he joined ICE, his ex-wife Ashley said he left a three-minute voicemail mocking her for taking out a restraining order against him. According to the message she shared with AP, he repeatedly called her “disgusting” and suggested that she and the other women and girls in her “bloodline” should die.\n\n\n\n“And all of you should have your f——–g throats cut,” the voicemail said. “Yeah, you should. Am I threatening that I’m gonna do that? Nope. Nope. But do I think that you should have your f——-g throats cuts? Or should have had them cut? Yep.”\n\n\n\nShe said she cut off contact with him until Wednesday, when his picture began circulating online.\n\n\n\nAshley Brouillette reached out to his current wife on Facebook and they spoke on the phone for several minutes. Her ex-husband spoke with her, according to cellphone screenshots of the phone exchange she shared with the AP. He acknowledged he had fatally shot Durán Guerrero.\n\n\n\n“He was asking if I could tell them that he was a good person and not to talk about the abuse and stuff that I had endured while with him and he said that the most important thing is his character right now,” she said.\n\n\n\nShe said he told her he is now hiding in protective custody.\n\n\n\n“I asked him why he did it,” she said. “He said it was a justified shooting. The guy was trying to run him over with a car.”\n\n\n\nHis daughter also said he told her it was justified.\n\n\n\n“I don’t think he sees himself as a killer,” Madison Brouillette said. \n\n\n\n“I think he thinks that he genuinely did the right thing,” she added. “All he said was that he did what he had to do. He said that he had to protect himself.”\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nBrook reported from New Orleans, Sisak reported from New York and Galofaro reported from Louisville, Kentucky.

The federal warnings to consumers did not identify the company, but a person familiar with the investigation told NBC News it was Taylor Farms of Salinas, California.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTaylor Farms did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The company was also tied to a 2013 cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to salad mix and a 2024 E. coli outbreak tied to onions served at McDonald’s.\n\n\n\n“FDA is working with the supplier of iceberg lettuce to determine if potentially contaminated shredded iceberg lettuce remains on the market, including in other states,” the CDC said. “Taco Bell has committed to stop using any lettuce from the supplier identified by FDA’s traceback investigation.”\n\n\n\nIn a statement, federal health officials stressed that other “brands, restaurants, retailers, or distribution channels” could be identified as the investigation continues.\n\n\n\nTaco Bell said earlier this week that it had “voluntarily and temporarily removed” certain ingredients from some locations amid the outbreak.\n\n\n\n“The health and safety of our guests is our top priority,” Taco Bell Corp said in its statement. “Public health officials have not confirmed a link to Taco Bell or any specific ingredient, supplier, restaurant or retailer. While authorities continue their broader review, Taco Bell has voluntarily and temporarily removed limited ingredients at select restaurants as a precautionary measure. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and follow the guidance of public health authorities.”\n\n\n\nLast week, local news outlets in the Detroit area reported signs at certain Taco Bell locations indicating the restaurants had pulled lettuce, cilantro, onion, pico de gallo and guacamole.\n\n\n\nA record number of Cyclospora cases have been reported in more than 30 states, and experts have said not every recent U.S. illness might be caused by a single source.\n\n\n\nCDC, FDA and public health officials in several states have been investigating a multistate outbreak that led to thousands of infections.\n\n\n\nMichigan has seen the most cases of cyclosporiasis of any state in the U.S. so far — and by a large margin. As of Friday, more than 5,000 cases had been reported in the state.\n\n\n\nHealth officials there had previously said “current results point to lettuce or salad greens” as the source, but they noted that “other food items cannot be completely ruled out.”\n\n\n\nMore than 30 states have reported infections this year, and current data from them shows the number of infections surpassing the record U.S. mark of about 4,700 set in 2019. \n\n\n\n“This is much, much higher than what we’ve seen last year or the year before,” Gwen Biggerstaff, deputy director of the CDC’s Division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases, said. “This is a pretty big shift from what we’ve seen in previous seasons.”\n\n\n\n\n\nCyclospora is a microscopic, spherical parasite that commonly causes watery diarrhea “with frequent and sometimes explosive bowel movements,” according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Outbreaks tend to occur most often in the late spring and summer.\n\n\n\nThe heat-loving parasite infects the bowels and spreads through feces. In the past, people have been infected by consuming fruits or vegetables that were exposed to feces-contaminated irrigation water.\n\n\n\nThe illness, called cyclosporiasis, is less common than foodborne illnesses caused by other germs, including Salmonella and E. coli. Many cases are never linked to a specific food or other source and, for years, few U.S. cyclospora outbreaks were reported. But the number started rising about a decade ago, with a particularly notable spike in 2018 and 2019.\n\n\n\nExperts say it’s likely that cyclospora cases historically were underreported, in part because some common tests used to check for food poisoning have not been geared to detect cyclospora. They attribute the increasing trend in cases to climate change and better detection.\n\n\n\nAnyone experiencing frequent, watery diarrhea is being urged to contact their healthcare provider and “specifically request testing for cyclospora as routine stool tests may miss the parasite,” health officials said.\n\n\n\nTreatment for confirmed infections will include antibiotics, but those who contract it should also be prepared to rest and drink fluids to maintain hydration.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/health/lettuce-at-taco-bell-in-5-states-confirmed-as-a-source-of-diarrhea-causing-parasite/4051044/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Alex Dvorak and The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-17T10:03:25.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-163772446.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3000%2C1996","slug":"lettuce-at-taco-bell-in-5-states-confirmed-as-a-source-of-diarrhea-causing-parasite"},{"id":"ao56h8","title":"Brenda Fricker, beloved ‘Home Alone 2' actress, dies at 81","excerpt":"Brenda Fricker, who won an Academy Award for her role as Bridget Fagan Brown in the 1989 film “My Left Foot,’’ has died.

Daniel Day-Lewis, who played Christy Brown, won the award for best actor.\n\n\n\n“We will never see her like again and the world is lesser for the lack of her,’’ Belfield said. “I was honored to know, love and work with her and she will always have a place in my heart and in the heart of so many film and TV fans the world over.”\n\n\n\nFricker, who appeared in more than 90 films and television shows between 1964 and 2024, was also known for her role in the 1992 film “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York,” where she played a homeless woman who befriended Macaulay Culkin’s character in New York’s Central Park.\n\n\n\nShe also featured in the original cast of the BBC medical drama “Casualty” and appeared alongside Cate Blanchett in “Veronica Guerin,” the story of an Irish investigative journalist who was murdered in 1996.\n\n\n\nBorn in Dublin in 1945, Fricker received the city’s highest honor earlier this year when she was awarded the Freedom of the City.\n\n\n\nIn her autobiography “She Died Young: A Life in Fragments,” Fricker describes both happy childhood escapades with her sister Grania and her struggles to overcome sexual violence and mental health issues, which caused her to be institutionalized several times. Published in September 2025, the book appeared on the Irish Sunday Times bestseller list.\n\n\n\nSimon Harris, Ireland’s deputy prime minister, said the country had lost a national treasure.\n\n\n\n“She truly was among the greatest exports this country has ever produced and an ambassador for Irish talent on the world stage,” he said. “Quite simply, we will never see the like of her ever again.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/brenda-fricker-first-irish-actress-win-oscar-my-left-foot-dies-81/4051004/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Danica Kirka | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-17T10:01:27.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26198474717682.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2997%2C2127","slug":"brenda-fricker-beloved-home-alone-2-actress-dies-at-81"},{"id":"rsf2tb","title":"World Cup beer sales are hopping.

Fans downed a total of 290,000 stadium beers during the six matches in Philadelphia, FIFA organizers said.\n\n\n\nBut all that frothy foam obscures a cold reality: Beer sales have been struggling globally, and it’s unclear if soccer’s world championship tournament can reverse the trend despite having three countries and 16 cities as co-hosts this year. \n\n\n\nIn the U.S., beer consumption has fallen steadily for a decade, according to the Brewers Association, a trade group for craft brewers. Canada has seen a similar decline, according to the national statistics agency. The Brewers of Europe trade association says the story is the same in the European Union. \n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 16\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRanking the top goals from the 2026 World Cup: Messi, Mbappe, Cape Verde on list\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 16\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup winners will get first ever championship rings, FIFA says\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nConsumers are buying less regular beer and more ‘wellness’ drinks\n\n\n\nMany consumers are cutting back on alcohol for health reasons. Last year was the first time in Gallup’s polling that a majority of Americans – 53% — said drinking “one or two drinks a day” was bad for one’s health.\n\n\n\nWhile sales of non-alcoholic beer have grown, they still make up only around 1% of the U.S. market, according to the Beer Institute, a trade group for brewers.\n\n\n\nEconomic worries also have taken a toll on sales. U.S. consumption of all types of alcohol – including wine and spirits – fell 5% last year, and affordability concerns were partly to blame, beverage market research company IWSR said.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCraig Purser, the president and CEO of the National Beer Wholesalers Association, said he thinks smartphones and Netflix have taken consumers away from socializing with a cold beer in hand. \n\n\n\n“If you have this behavior where we’re cocooning and we’re not spending time with other folks, that’s going to affect beer consumption,” Purser said.\n\n\n\nWorld Cup host cities saw a bump in beer sales at stadiums, bars and restaurants\n\n\n\nEnter the World Cup and the soccer fans who traveled from around the world to support their national teams and engage in communal celebration or sorrow. \n\n\n\nIn the first four weeks of the tournament, beer sales in bars, restaurants, stadiums and other venues rose 14% in U.S. host cities compared to the same period last year, according to the Beer Institute. The bump extended beyond host cities; sales were up 4% nationally, the institute said.\n\n\n\nJim Koch, the brewer, founder and CEO of the Boston Beer Co., which makes Samuel Adams and other brands, said the company had to make two emergency deliveries to its Sam Adams Boston Taproom on the first day that Scotland’s fans were in town.\n\n\n\n“At one point, we were pouring them a Sam Adams Boston Lager every 12 seconds. What a wonderful group of people,” he said.\n\n\n\nBut that wasn’t all that warmed Koch’s heart.\n\n\n\n“I didn’t see a single soul on their phone,” he said, “They had a beer in their hand and they were talking to each other. They were doing what beer is meant to do, which is helping people enjoy each other’s company.”\n\n\n\nThe plentiful drinking on display in stadiums stood in stark constrast to the World Cup held four years ago in Qatar, where the government banned the sale of alcoholic beer in match venues.\n\n\n\nBrewers leaned heavily into this year’s tournament. Budweiser and Michelob Ultra maker AB InBev, the World’s Cup’s official beer sponsor, doled out marketing support to bars and hosted 200,000 watch parties in 40 countries. \n\n\n\nMolson Coors said it would spend 60% more than last year on marketing in June and July; it also debuted a limited edition soccer ball that can hold 12 cans of Miller Lite.\n\n\n\n\n\nA team’s loss can make supporters cry, but not in their beer\n\n\n\nMaybell Romero, a law professor at Tulane University School of Law in New Orleans, usually prefers cocktails over beer. But she says she opts for beer during the World Cup since it has lower alcohol content than liquor or wine and watching games can be an all-day affair.\n\n\n\n“If I drink cocktail after cocktail, I will not be functional after a few hours,” Romero said.\n\n\n\nRomero, who has been watching this year’s matches at bars in Mexico City, said she’s enjoyed trying new beers, especially those with novel ingredients like champagne yeast. She might order an occasional beer once the World Cup ends but expects to go back to mostly drinking cocktails.\n\n\n\nBeer consumption was expected to fall in some markets even before the World Cup ended. Shares in AB InBev and Constellation Brands — which owns the U.S. rights to Mexican beer brands like Corona and Modelo — tumbled after Mexico and Brazil were eliminated from the tournament.\n\n\n\nRomero observed the mood shift in Mexico City after those losses.\n\n\n\n“The city is collectively depressed,” she said. “Everything is a lot quieter, and people aren’t going out as much.”\n\n\n\nMajor sporting events on the horizon allow the beer industry to hold out hope\n\n\n\nPurser remains hopeful the World Cup will remind people how much they like to gather and cheer on athletes, especially with the Summer Olympics heading to Los Angeles in 2028. Occasions are expanding, he said; college and professional football games are now played on more nights of the week, for example. And beer’s consumer base is widening as more brands put out low- and no-alcohol versions, he said.\n\n\n\nIn May, the NCAA reversed its long-standing ban on alcohol advertising during March Madness, allowing makers of beer, wine, spirits and hard seltzer makers to sponsor the college basketball tournaments for the first time starting next season. \n\n\n\nThe Boston Beer Co.’s Koch said he’s not fretting until then. \n\n\n\n“People worry that the beer business has declined for a few years, and I always remind them that beer has been a part of human society, human civilization, for 10,000 years,” he said. “Beer will always be a part enhancing our enjoyment of our lives and the time we spend on this earth.”\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nAP Video Journalist Rodrique Ngowi contributed from Boston.\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/world-cup-beer-sales-up-brewers-hope-demand-continues/4050970/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Dee-ann Durbin | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-17T08:57:11.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26197616940864.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1620%2C1080","slug":"world-cup-beer-sales-are-hopping-brewers-hope-the-stout-demand-outlasts-the-tournament"},{"id":"hygrre","title":"Oak Cliff neighborhood selected for traffic safety program after years of concerns","excerpt":"After years of complaints about speeding drivers, crashes and safety concerns at an Oak Cliff intersection, residents are beginning to see progress toward changes they hope will make their neighborhood safer.\n\n\n\nThe intersection of West Clarendon Drive and Coombs Creek Drive, near Martin Weiss Pa...","content":"After years of complaints about speeding drivers, crashes and safety concerns at an Oak Cliff intersection, residents are beginning to see progress toward changes they hope will make their neighborhood safer.\n\n\n\nThe intersection of West Clarendon Drive and Coombs Creek Drive, near Martin Weiss Park, has been selected as part of the Better Block Foundation‘s “Better Intersections” pilot program. It’s an initiative focused on improving traffic safety through community-driven design and testing.\n\n\n\nNeighbors who live near the intersection say dangerous driving has been a longtime problem. Residents report drivers frequently going over the speed limit, creating a dangerous situation for people walking to the park and for families who live nearby.\n\n\n\n“We listen for the screech of tires. We listen for the crash,” said Mary Ann Hernandez, who has lived in the neighborhood for 45 years. “It’s a very unsafe street.”\n\n\n\nShe said she and her husband have experienced multiple crashes near their home, including some vehicles that have even crashed into homes along the street.\n\n\n\n“With my neighbors over here, we did actually have an accident where a young man passed away on site,” she said.\n\n\n\nHernandez said her family has even spent thousands of dollars to have large boulders placed in their front yard as an added layer of protection.\n\n\n\nThe concerns extend beyond property damage. Andrew Finney, president of Rooted Oak Cliff Neighborhood Association, confirmed the area has experienced serious crashes, including one that resulted in a fatality.\n\n\n\nFinney said neighborhood leaders have spent years advocating for solutions and are encouraged by the opportunity to work with the Better Block Foundation, city officials and residents on possible improvements.\n\n\n\n“I think this is the best opportunity that our neighborhood has ever had to get some substantial change,” Finney said.\n\n\n\nThe Better Intersections program will include community meetings, design feedback sessions, pilot demonstrations and testing to evaluate potential traffic-calming measures and safety enhancements. According to the nonprofit, each intersection project costs $40,000, which is why the organization is consistently fundraising to keep the mission going.\n\n\n\nDallas City Councilmember Chad West said the intersection was a natural choice for the program because of its location near Martin Weiss Park and the challenges it creates for pedestrians.\n\n\n\nIn a statement to NBC 5, West said, “This intersection, which is in the heart of the West Oak Cliff Area Plan, is dangerous and a barrier for children and families trying to access Martin Weiss Park, was a natural choice for this Better Block traffic safety enhancement.I appreciate the advocacy for safer streets from Rooted Oak Cliff and Better Block.”\n\n\n\nFor families who have lived in the area for decades, the project represents a long-awaited step toward safer streets and peace of mind.\n\n\n\n“Solving traffic issues isn’t something that gets solved overnight,” said Finney. “They love Oak Cliff; this is where they’ve raised their families, but they’re afraid for the safety of their families.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/oak-cliff-neighborhood-selected-for-traffic-safety-program-after-years-of-concerns/4050952/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Alanna Quillen and Candace Sweat","publishDate":"2026-07-17T07:04:30.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fposter-frame-1784289935327.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"oak-cliff-neighborhood-selected-for-traffic-safety-program-after-years-of-concerns"},{"id":"3yobqy","title":"‘Solar sheep' industry booms as ranchers, farmers try to co-exist with energy projects","excerpt":"Clouds skated across the sky as sunshine poked through, reflecting off the sea of solar panels beneath it.A soft wind brushed across the grass as a few sheep poked their heads between the panels.\n\n\n\nOne let out a brief “baa.”\n\n\n\nA tour group on the other side of the fence cooed at the fluffy whit...","content":"Clouds skated across the sky as sunshine poked through, reflecting off the sea of solar panels beneath it.A soft wind brushed across the grass as a few sheep poked their heads between the panels.\n\n\n\nOne let out a brief “baa.”\n\n\n\nA tour group on the other side of the fence cooed at the fluffy white animals and snapped photos before turning their attention back to JR Howard, who was explaining how he rotates the thousands of sheep through different pastures.\n\n\n\nThe sheep, unbothered, continued chomping on the grass.

Now that both of my kids are school age, I noticed how much they love to read and color, so it dawned on me to create this coloring book. We are big on speaking and reading words of affirmation in my home, so I wanted to create something that would be positive and uplifting for other families to read together.”\n\n\n\nGregg said she and the children co-authored the bilingual coloring book of affirmations. Specifically for them, they were the foundation for the coloring book portion.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Every page was created with real-life examples of what my family has experienced with each other. They were the main inspiration of the affirmations and illustrations,” Gregg said.\n\n\n\nShe made it clear that while she and her children are hoping to inspire other families, it’s also in the name of childhood literacy.\n\n\n\n“Reading comprehension skills are key to success in our lives. Not only do you excel further in school and later on, the earlier you introduce books, but reading brings your family together. You create memories together; it forces you to slow down in such a busy world to appreciate the love and support you have at home,” Gregg said.\n\n\n\nHer hope is that this book of affirmations will also be a unique look into a child’s world.\n\n\n\n“Each page was created with love and captures the essence of real-life experiences of my family. Reading affirmations instills confidence, courage, and self-love. It’s so important to expose our children to positive and uplifting words and phrases daily.

Currently, the organization reports what they call an emergency shortage. \n\n\n\nLeaders at the nonprofit said supply fell nearly 25% in June, so they are urging North Texans to help. The shortage is especially serious for platelets and types O positive and B negative blood.\n\n\n\nAlexis Gonzalez works with the Red Cross North Texas Region and she knows firsthand the importance of blood donation. Gonzalez scheduled her first donation in December 2023 and has been a blood donor and advocate ever since.\n\n\n\n“When I started with the Red Cross, I was sharing information about the donation process but had not given blood myself,” Gonzalez said. “I thought to myself, ‘If I’m going to share this information, I should know what it’s like.’”\n\n\n\nAs she advanced in her role with the Red Cross, she learned about the health disparities affecting the Hispanic/Latino population. According to the Red Cross, Latinos play a critical role in helping patients in need of lifesaving blood products. One in seven patients hospitalized l in the U.S. will need blood products. \n\n\n\n“As a Latina, I realized I had the opportunity to educate my community about why their blood is so needed and that the donation process is safe. Part of that education involved dispelling common myths we grew up with,” Gonzalez said. “Through my own blood donation experiences, I can empower them to use their superpower [their blood] to save lives.”\n\n\n\nBut in 2025, she found herself on the other side of blood donation.\n\n\n\nGonzalez woke up in excruciating pain radiating from her stomach and the symptoms lasted for days. She eventually went to the hospital and doctors discovered that she had three blood clots in the veins connecting to her liver as well as severe anemia.\n\n\n\n“Because I was a blood donor, I knew my blood type and confidently told the staff I was B positive. That’s because the Red Cross lets you know your blood type after your first donation, and you can easily see it in the Blood Donor App,” Gonzalez said.\n\n\n\nWhile Gonzalez is currently unable to donate, she is now empowered to share her story to inspire others to roll up their sleeves and save lives. \n\n\n\nIn addition to our mobile blood drives throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, residents can always donate at our fixed donation centers:\n\n\n\nIrving Blood and Platelet Donation Center2511 W.

The film opens in theaters nationwide on Friday, but if you haven’t gotten a ticket yet, it may be difficult to snag one.\n\n\n\nThe film is making cinematic history, standing as the first feature film to be shot entirely with IMAX film cameras. \n\n\n\nWhile numerous local theaters offer IMAX screenings, only the Cinemark in Dallas has 70mm film capabilities. The only other movie theater in Texas with equal capabilities is the AMC Rivercenter 11 in San Antonio. The full list of theaters can be found on IMAX.com.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA massive Trojan horse was installed in New York City ahead of the film’s premiere on Tuesday. The 40-foot, 8,000-pound replica of the Trojan horse from ‘The Odyssey’ was installed outside AMC Lincoln Square. The city of Arlington got a similar statue near the intersection of E. Randol Mill and Arlington Downs Road. It was part of the national promotional tour.  \n\n\n\nTrojan Horse Pops Up in Arlington to Promote New Movie ‘The Odyssey’Published on June 18, 2026Forty foot trojan horse sculpture on display outside. By Office of Communication\n\n\n\nThe film used 2.1 million feet of IMAX film. According to the production, that’s longer than the distance from Toronto to New York.\n\n\n\n\n\n“By shooting on IMAX 70mm film, you’re really letting the screen disappear,” Nolan said. “You’re getting a feeling of 3D without the glasses. You’ve got a huge screen, and you’re filling the peripheral vision of the audience. You’re immersing them in the world of the film.”\n\n\n\nIMAX cameras can only shoot for 3 minutes continuously before it needs to be reloaded. Instead of being a hindrance, though, it kept everyone hyper-focused.\n\n\n\n\n\n“That’s an expensive camera. You got two and a half minutes with each roll of film, so you gotta get it in and keep it moving,” said Lupita Nyong’o. “There’s a different vibration on a Chris Nolan set. Everyone is present, everyone is ready, alert, and doing their bit to keep the train on the tracks.”\n\n\n\nThe camera, plus the noise-reducing muffler they dubbed “the blimp” that encased it, weighs approximately 300 pounds.\n\n\n\nNolan’s favorite exhibition format is also the rarest, and some of the most popular locations in New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas’ Cinemark are virtually sold out for weeks.\n\n\n\n“The sharpness and the clarity and the depth of the image is unparalleled,” Nolan said.\n\n\n\nOn a technical level, the IMAX film resolution is almost 10 times more than a 35mm projector, and each frame has some 18,000 pixels of resolution versus a home HD screen that has 1,920 pixels. On the biggest presentations, IMAX 1.43:1 (the massive square screen), the screen essentially disappears for the audience. For other formats like 35mm, the top and the bottom get cropped.\n\n\n\nThe film is also showing in other formats at movie theaters across DFW, including Alamo Drafthouse, AMC, Angelika, B&B, Cinemark, Cinepolis, Galaxy, Regal, and Studio Movie Grill.\n\n\n\nIMAX 70mm film was also an essential part of the movie Sinners‘ theatrical run; Sinners ended up nominated for a record 16 awards, including Best Picture at the 98th Academy Awards. \n\n\n\n“The Odyssey” is a Universal production, part of NBC Universal, the parent company of NBC DFW and Telemundo 39.\n\n\n\nCharlize Theron, Himesh Patel, Travis Scott, Mia Goth, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Matt Damon, Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan, Zendaya, Samantha Morton, Elliot Page, Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, Hoyte van Hoytema and Ludwig Goransson attend the World Premiere of “The Odyssey” at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square on July 6, 2026 in London, England.\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/texas-today/arts-culture/dallas-has-one-of-25-theaters-showing-the-odyssey-in-imax-70mm-film/4050415/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"LINDSEY BAHR | The Associated Press and Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-07-16T10:17:50.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FARLINGNTON-TROJAN-HORSE-articles-trojan-horse-sculpture.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1140%2C760","slug":"dallas-has-one-of-25-us-theaters-showing-the-odyssey-in-imax-70mm-film"},{"id":"ib8aof","title":"FBI agent on human trafficking: “It can happen to anybody.”","excerpt":"The Federal Bureau of Investigation Dallas Field Office is spreading awareness about human trafficking ahead of ‘World Day Against Trafficking in Persons’ on July 30.\n\n\n\nFBI investigators say this criminal activity poses a real threat across the region and say it’s important to understand who is ...","content":"The Federal Bureau of Investigation Dallas Field Office is spreading awareness about human trafficking ahead of ‘World Day Against Trafficking in Persons’ on July 30.\n\n\n\nFBI investigators say this criminal activity poses a real threat across the region and say it’s important to understand who is really being victimized and how social media is being used to exploit individuals of all ages and walks of life.\n\n\n\nJeremy Wright is an assistant special agent in the agency’s violent crime branch, which investigates different violations, including human trafficking.\n\n\n\n“It’s basically a crime committed against a person using force, fraud, or coercion to kind of trick somebody into or to force somebody into a certain behavior of typically labor or services, sexual in nature or otherwise, against their will,” said Wright. “You need to think in terms it can happen to anybody. We protect our kids more because they’re vulnerable, but there are many adults that are vulnerable.”\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to the fight against human trafficking, one obstacle facing law enforcement is changing public perception about who is exploited and how.\n\n\n\n“We hear a lot abductions and people being forced into trafficking situations, which can occur, [but] I would say in my experience of years of working human trafficking at the federal level, it’s usually going to be more of a coercive type of thing,” said Wright. \n\n\n\nThe investigator explains examples of human trafficking include immigrants forced to work without pay, or extorted for more money once smuggled into the country.\n\n\n\nHuman trafficking is also seen in cases where individuals, minors but more often adults, are forced into prostitution, he said.\n\n\n\n“I think the folks that are targeted are going to be probably deemed to be more vulnerable for it,” explained Wright. ” \n\n\n\nVulnerable populations include minors, immigrants, and in many cases, Wright says, adults struggling with addiction.\n\n\n\n“They are really looking for connection, or they’re looking for some sense of purpose, and somebody shows up to give them that sense of purpose,” he said.\n\n\n\nPredators have exploited social media platforms seeking out would-be victims. Some relationships start innocent enough, only to turn controlling and isolating the victim from friends and family, said Wright.\n\n\n\n“[Traffickers] might be online talking to multiple people; they could form a relationship with them online, and at that point that’s kind of where they’re going to mislead them into a certain relationship, and then it’s going to turn into a coercive environment,” he said.\n\n\n\nIt is not unusual for victims to follow relationships across state lines, never expecting to be forced into illegal activity.\n\n\n\n “We all think it can’t happen where we live, but the truth is it happens everywhere,” said Wright.\n\n\n\nJust one example that dispels the ‘not in my neighborhood’ mentality is the 2023 raid in a quiet Plano neighborhood.\n\n\n\nNeighbors in a subdivision near Coit and Parker Roads were shocked to learn of a sex trafficking ring being run next door.\n\n\n\nA multi-year investigation by Plano Police and the FBI ended in multiple arrests, including the alleged ringleader, William Garland.\n\n\n\nA federal jury in January found Garland guilty of enticing a woman into traveling to Texas from Ohio, then forcing her and others into prostitution using threats and force.\n\n\n\nThe jury also found one of Garland’s accomplices guilty of the conspiracy.\n\n\n\nGarland faces up to life in prison and will soon be sentenced, according to his attorney, Rafael de La Garza.\n\n\n\nDe La Garza shared the following statement with NBC 5: “Although we respect the jury verdict, we do intend to appeal the verdict once we have sentencing, which has not been set yet.”\n\n\n\nThe federal government seized large amounts of cash, luxury cars, and a stockpile of guns and ammunition from the house.\n\n\n\n In 2023, neighbors told NBC 5 they would see multiple women coming and going from the house and large bags being hauled in and out.\n\n\n\nSome residents reported the strange activity to police.\n\n\n\nIt’s this kind of vigilance, the FBI urges from everyone, everywhere.\n\n\n\n“I think you just gotta be vigilant, you gotta be aware, you gotta know the red flags, understand the signs,” said Wright. “[Red flags like] more people in the home than the home could actually hold, and then they’re being all transported out to work, and they’re transported back and they’re always kept kind of control.”\n\n\n\nYou can report suspicious activities and crime by contacting the FBI Dallas Field Office 24/7 at (972) 559-5000 or tips.fbi.gov.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/fbi-agent-on-human-trafficking-it-can-happen-to-anybody/4050382/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Maria Guerrero","publishDate":"2026-07-16T09:04:01.000Z","category":"library","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F02%2Fshutterstock_2643264507.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1000%2C667","slug":"fbi-agent-on-human-trafficking-it-can-happen-to-anybody"},{"id":"xjawt7","title":"Deadline passes for Cowboys, George Pickens to reach long-term contract extension","excerpt":"The deadline has passed for NFL players on the franchise tag to sign a long-term deal with their current teams, meaning wide receiver George Pickens is expected to be a Dallas Cowboy for at least one more season.

Pickens signed a $27.3 million fully guaranteed deal back in April to remain with the Cowboys for one more season.\n\n\n\nPickens’ contract cannot be extended until after the Cowboys’ Week 18 game against the Washington Commanders in January 2027. Pickens is the only player in the league who was franchise-tagged but did not receive a longer extension.\n\n\n\nPickens skipped voluntary workouts this offseason but showed up for mandatory minicamp last month, promising he would not be holding out of training camp or the regular season. The team had already announced before camp that they would not be negotiating a longer deal with Pickens or trading him. The team has said publicly that they hope Pickens is a Cowboy long-term. The Cowboys could technically tag Pickens again next offseason. If they did so, Pickens would automatically receive a 20% raise, bringing his salary to about $32.8m, according to the Cowboys.\n\n\n\nPickens spoke to reporters on the first day of minicamp and appeared to be at peace with how the negotiation — or lack thereof — had gone. He reiterated his only wish: to win a Super Bowl and his ambition to do it with the Cowboys while he’s here. As for the business side of things, Pickens didn’t vocalize any frustration.\n\n\n\n“The game is going to be the game,” Pickens said. “Money is kind of tagged to it.”\n\n\n\nPickens had a breakout season for the Cowboys in 2025, setting career highs in catches (93), touchdowns (nine) and yards (1,429). He finished third in the NFL in receiving yards and earned his first Pro Bowl honor. \n\n\n\nPickens is also only 25 years old. If he can replicate his success from this past season, then he could increase his value, whether it’s on the open market or on a second-consecutive franchise tag. \n\n\n\nClick here to read more on this report from our partners at The Dallas Morning News.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/nfl/deadline-passes-for-cowboys-george-pickens-to-reach-long-term-contract-extension/4050335/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Joseph Hoyt, Staff Writer | The Dallas Morning News and Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-07-16T07:19:37.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2025%2F10%2FAP25285641868749.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4605%2C3070","slug":"deadline-passes-for-cowboys-george-pickens-to-reach-long-term-contract-extension"},{"id":"3v7vu","title":"Pregnant Dallas-area women in their first trimester needed for health study","excerpt":"North Texas women in their first trimester of pregnancy are needed for a new study, and it could mean money, diapers, and personalized food kits. \n\n\n\nThe City of Mansfield and Methodist Mansfield partnered with Texas A&M AgriLife Institute for Advancing Health in the Harvesting Health Study. \n\n\n\n...","content":"North Texas women in their first trimester of pregnancy are needed for a new study, and it could mean money, diapers, and personalized food kits. \n\n\n\nThe City of Mansfield and Methodist Mansfield partnered with Texas A&M AgriLife Institute for Advancing Health in the Harvesting Health Study. \n\n\n\nResearchers want to better understand how healthy food can improve the health of pregnant moms and their babies.\n\n\n\n“This study has the potential to influence how communities nationwide approach maternal and infant health through food and nutrition,” said Erica Bender, Clinical Program Director, Institute for Advancing Health through Agriculture (IHA) & Texas A&M AgriLife Research, in a news release. \n\n\n\nCrystal Brown, Vice President of Operations for Methodist Mansfield Medical Center also said in the release, “The IHA’s Harvesting Health project will enable us to take a proactive approach by advancing our understanding how nutrition can shape healthier outcomes for mothers and babies.”\n\n\n\nA mobile health assessment center with specialized state-of-the-art equipment will be used to assess maternal and infant biometrics.

When crews arrived, they found flames coming from the front of the home and immediately began attacking the fire while conducting a search for people inside.\n\n\n\nDuring the search, firefighters located a woman in the back of the house. She was removed from the home and EMS immediately performed emergency medical care on her. Officials say she was transported to a hospital in critical condition.\n\n\n\nA second victim, a man, was found in the front of the home. Firefighters brought him outside and attempted lifesaving measures, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.\n\n\n\nTwo firefighters were also taken to a hospital as a precaution after helping rescue the victims and battling the blaze.\n\n\n\n“Being a part of two separate rescues of individuals, just trying to get them out of the house, it’s very taxing on the body, especially in this heat,” said Fort Worth Fire Department PIO Craig Trojacek said. “I know it’s nighttime, but it’s still hot outside.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOfficials said the firefighters’ injuries are not believed to be serious.\n\n\n\nTrojacek described the residence as a “hoarder home,” which created significant challenges for firefighters working inside the burning structure.\n\n\n\nAccording to Trojacek, the heavy accumulation of belongings made it more difficult for crews to navigate through the home while searching for victims and extinguishing the fire.\n\n\n\n“When we talk about a hoarder home, that stuff all plays back into the fire itself. The more stuff that’s in there, the more stuff that’s burning, the higher the heat,” he said. “A lot of stuff just stacked up, doorways, windows blocked off…So as you can imagine, in high heat and flames and you’re looking for somebody, and you’re going to run into barriers every turn.”\n\n\n\nThe cause of the fire remains under investigation. Arson investigators are at the scene as part of the department’s standard protocol for investigating fatal fires.\n\n\n\nThe identities of the victims have not yet been released by officials.\n\n\n\nHowever, the family confirmed to NBC 5 that the man who died was 37-year old Jaime Martinez. Family shared that he had limited mobility and was on machines with oxygen.\n\n\n\nA dog was also rescued from the fire and appeared on the scene unharmed alongside fire fighters.\n\n\n\nThis is a developing story.

He was convicted of murder and will be eligible for parole after serving half of his sentence.\n\n\n\nThe affidavit, filed by defense attorney Mike Howard, is included in the defense’s motion for a new trial.\n\n\n\nHoward’s affidavit says prosecutors and the defense reached what he described as a “gentlemen’s agreement” before trial to limit what jurors would hear about Anthony and the Metcalf twins beyond the April 2, 2025, stabbing. According to Howard, that meant jurors would not hear evidence about Anthony’s cellphone contents or school disciplinary records, while the defense would not introduce evidence it says it had gathered about Austin and Hunter Metcalf, including allegations involving violence, bullying and racist graffiti.\n\n\n\nHoward wrote that the defense relied heavily on that understanding when developing its trial strategy. He said attorneys chose not to pursue certain lines of questioning, limited witness testimony and decided against calling expert witnesses because they believed the agreement would remain in place throughout the trial.\n\n\n\nThe affidavit also says the defense abandoned plans to introduce testimony and other evidence involving allegations about Austin and Hunter Metcalf’s reputations for violence, bullying and racism. Howard wrote that the defense also intended to question witnesses about school disciplinary records and a prior arrest involving alleged racist graffiti, but chose not to pursue that evidence because of the agreement. Those allegations are contained in the defense filing and are not findings by the court.\n\n\n\nHoward wrote that the dispute arose after the prosecution rested its case. According to the affidavit, prosecutors argued the agreement would not apply if Anthony testified and maintained the defense had already “opened the door” to otherwise restricted evidence by mentioning during opening statements that Anthony played chess.\n\n\n\nThe affidavit says Judge John Roach Jr. disagreed that the chess reference violated the agreement, but told attorneys he did not believe he had a mechanism to enforce an agreement between the parties if a dispute arose.\n\n\n\nHoward wrote that the defense was given about 10 minutes to discuss Anthony’s Fifth Amendment rights and whether he should testify.\n\n\n\n“Ultimately, Mr. Anthony chose not to testify,” Howard wrote. “This 180-degree change in the defense strategy was the direct consequence of the breach of the agreement.”\n\n\n\nAccording to the affidavit, the defense believed calling Anthony to testify could have exposed him to evidence about his character, reputation and alleged prior bad acts. Howard argues that concern led the defense to advise Anthony not to take the witness stand.\n\n\n\nThe filing also alleges the disagreement affected other aspects of the case, including witness examinations and sentencing strategy.\n\n\n\nThe affidavit is one of several arguments the defense has raised in asking the court to grant Anthony a new trial. Prosecutors had not responded in court to the specific allegations contained in Howard’s affidavit at the time of the filing.\n\n\n\nHoward said the agreement was reached during pretrial discussions. The alleged agreement does not appear in the public court record.\n\n\n\nIn a statement to NBC 5 last week, Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis’ office disputed the defense’s claims.\n\n\n\n“The defendant’s new lawyers have filed a motion containing several inaccurate characterizations of the trial proceedings,” First Assistant District Attorney Bill Wirskye said in the statement. “I and the entire prosecution team conducted this trial ethically and in full compliance with the Court’s rulings and any agreements with defense counsel. We look forward to addressing these claims thoroughly in our written response, which will be filed with the Court in the coming weeks.”\n\n\n\nThe statement added, “The jury heard extensive evidence over the course of the trial and returned a unanimous verdict. We remain confident in that verdict and the fairness of the proceedings.”\n\n\n\nAnthony is serving his sentence at the Wallace Pack Unit in Navasota while his post-trial motions remain pending.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFrisco\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 8\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKarmelo Anthony sentenced to 35 years for the murder of Austin Metcalf\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFrisco\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 10\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKarmelo Anthony to appeal murder conviction in Frisco stabbing case\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCollin County\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 19\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFirst look at evidence shown in Karmelo Anthony murder case\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCollin County\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 22\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHigh-profile attorneys join Karmelo Anthony appeal effort\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCollin County\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 7\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKarmelo Anthony's attorneys ask for new trial, new judge in Frisco track meet murder case","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/handshake-deal-karmelo-anthonys-trial/4050186/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) -

The arrest warrant affidavit states that the Tarrant County Medical Examiner determined the amount of meperidine found in the girl’s system was high enough to be considered lethal.\n\n\n\nThe affidavit alleges Hemphill told investigators she administered the medication to calm her before the procedure, but neither she nor members of her staff could immediately say how much had been given.\n\n\n\nInvestigators also allege the child received three sedating medications along with nitrous oxide, all of which can suppress breathing.\n\n\n\nThe affidavit further alleges that medical experts identified failures in the child’s monitoring and emergency care after she became unresponsive, including administering the wrong reversal medication.\n\n\n\nAccording to the warrant, Hemphill and members of her staff told investigators the child had breathing problems that were not disclosed before the procedure. However, investigators wrote that the girl’s doctors disputed that claim, telling detectives she had no history of breathing issues and was otherwise healthy.\n\n\n\nThe affidavit also states that one of the girls’ doctors told investigators he did not believe she had a tongue-tie condition and questioned why the procedure was performed.\n\n\n\n“It’s not an easy case, and I know from my experience the detectives take their time to make sure that every step taken is the right step,” Fort Worth police spokesman Daniel Segura said.\n\n\n\nThe Fort Worth Police Department’s Crimes Against Children Unit investigated the case. Police said investigators determined an offense had occurred and identified the doctor who performed the procedure as the person responsible, leading to Hemphill’s arrest.\n\n\n\nAuthorities said Hemphill was taken into custody at about 3:42 p.m. Tuesday.\n\n\n\n\nArriaga attended Dan Powell Early Learning Academy in Everman. In a statement, Everman ISD said she was “a cherished member of the school community” and that her loss continues to be felt across the district.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNBC 5 called Cuddle Kids Dental Care and left a voicemail requesting comment. As of publication, the practice had not responded.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/fort-worth-dentist-arrested-4-year-old-girl-dead-dental-procedure/4050172/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Ahraya Burns and Maria Guerrero","publishDate":"2026-07-15T19:32:57.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fdownload-7.png%3Ffit%3D859%2C483%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"fort-worth-dentist-arrested-after-4-year-old-girl-died-following-dental-procedure"},{"id":"839ltw","title":"Fishing returns to Bedford Boys Ranch Lake after major fish die-off a year ago","excerpt":"Fishing has returned to Bedford Boys Ranch Lake in Generations Park, where city officials say restoration efforts are paying off a year after a chlorine contamination killed thousands of fish.\n\n\n\nFor Cody Hicks and his family, the lake has once again become a favorite place to spend time together...","content":"Fishing has returned to Bedford Boys Ranch Lake in Generations Park, where city officials say restoration efforts are paying off a year after a chlorine contamination killed thousands of fish.\n\n\n\nFor Cody Hicks and his family, the lake has once again become a favorite place to spend time together.\n\n\n\n“Seems like it’s always stocked and they keep it clean. That’s what I like about it the most,” Hicks said.\n\n\n\nThe family has already had success on the water.\n\n\n\n“We’ve got a bunch of sunfish. My sons, and wife and I probably got about six sunfish and one bass,” Hicks said.\n\n\n\nThe lake looked much different in July of 2025, when high levels of chlorine entered the water.\n\n\n\nAccording to Bedford Communications Director Molly Fox, the contamination had a devastating impact on the lake’s fish population.\n\n\n\n“Unfortunately, it only got worse from there and we had the majority of our fish population Pass away within the lake,” Fox said.\n\n\n\nThe city estimates more than 4,000 fish died. Officials never determined where the chlorine came from, and the investigation has since ended. Restoration work, however, has continued.\n\n\n\nLast fall, the city stocked the lake with sunfish and bluegill to rebuild the food chain before introducing larger fish.\n\n\n\n“So what we did last fall was we put sunfish in there. And bluegill sun fat fish are the prey species of our future bass residents of our lake,” Fox said.\n\n\n\nIn April, the city added fingerling bass, bringing the total number of bass stocked to more than 600.\n\n\n\nOfficials have also planted hundreds of aquatic plants throughout the lake to improve habitat and water quality.\n\n\n\n“We also planted about three to four hundred plants in different parts of the lake to give the fish places to hide, to help with the oxygen levels, to help what the algae, to contribute to the lake’s health,” Fox said.\n\n\n\nThe restoration effort extends beyond the lake itself. The city has also planted vegetation upstream to help filter runoff before it reaches the water.\n\n\n\n“So we have the plants upstream and one of the good things about the plants is that it will filter any pollutants that may harm the fish in the lake,” Fox said.\n\n\n\nFox said the city is also conducting regular water testing as part of its efforts to help prevent a similar incident from happening again.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

Spain will take on the winner of Argentina and England in Atlanta. Before the game, FIFA’s closing ceremony will be headlined by Grapevine’s own Post Malone. The ceremony will start around 12:30 CST. The game is at 2 p.m.\n\n\n\n“At a time when sport, culture and global attention converge, Post Malone will deliver a performance designed to celebrate the tournament’s journey and ignite the atmosphere before the world’s attention turns to the two finalists,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino. “We are thrilled to have so many stars taking to the pitch, from both the football and entertainment worlds. The closing ceremony will set the tone for a historic FIFA World Cup final, uniting the passion of 48 teams, 16 host cities and millions of fans on one unforgettable stage.”\n\n\n\nMost recently, Post Malone released his debut country album, F-1 Trillion, which landed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. His catalogue features diamond-certified hits including Rockstar, I Fall Apart, Psycho, White Iverson, Better Now, Congratulations, Circles and Sunflower, which became the highest-certified single in RIAA history.\n\n\n\nPost Malone performed the halftime show at the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving game win against the Kansas City Chiefs.\n\n\n\n\n\nFans attending the final are encouraged to arrive early to experience the full pre-match program. \n\n\n\nTom Cruise and streamer IShowSpeed will also be a part of the closing ceremony, while Jennifer Hudson will sing the U.S. national anthem. This isn’t Cruise’s first ride at a closing ceremony. The “Mission: Impossible” star pulled off a stunt at the 2024 Olympic Closing Ceremony in Paris and assisted in the handoff for the 2028 Los Angeles Games.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe final will feature a Super Bowl-like halftime show, with performances from Justin Bieber, Madonna, Shakira, BTS, Burna Boy and others. Coldplay’s Chris Martin will curate the 11-minute show.\n\n\n\n\n\nPresident Donald Trump will also be in attendance for the World Cup final and present the trophy to the winning team.\n\n\n\n\n\nMetLife Stadium, the home of the NFL’s New York Giants and Jets, hosted seven previous matches in this tournament, the most recent being Norway’s round of 16 win over Brazil. International football fans have criticized the NY/NJ stadium experience, questioning why the final is not being played at a dome like Dallas Stadium (AT&T) or Los Angeles (SOFI). Detractors cited the commute from New York, the heat, and the field the game is played on.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe next men’s World Cup in 2030 will feature games across six countries and three continents. Morocco, Portugal, and Spain will serve as the main co-hosts, while Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay will each host one match in celebration of the World Cup’s 100th anniversary.\n\n\n\nUruguay hosted and won the inaugural World Cup, beating Argentina in the 1930 final.\n\n\n\nNorth Texas is in the bidding to host the 2031 Women’s World Cup Final. It’s unclear when that decision will be made.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/grapevines-post-malone-to-headline-2026-fifa-world-cup-closing-ceremony/4049952/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Charles Nichelson and Max Molski","publishDate":"2026-07-15T12:36:23.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2021%2F05%2FCowboys-Post-Malone.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","slug":"grapevines-post-malone-to-headline-2026-fifa-world-cup-closing-ceremony"},{"id":"uov2jc","title":"Rangers switching streaming providers from Victory+ to BZZR, effective immediately","excerpt":"The Texas Rangers are making a major move for the second half of the season: they announced Bzzr (pronounced Buzzer) will be their new direct-to-consumer distributor for live game broadcasts, not Victory+.\n\n\n\nBzzr is a new platform.

The first Rangers Sports Network broadcast on the new platform is Friday against the Atlanta Braves. Cable, satellite and over-the-air providers will not be affected.\n\n\n\nFans who paid for Victory+ can have their subscriptions transferred. The Rangers say subscribers will receive emails with info on creating a new account and authenticating their subscription.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile minority owner Neil Leibman is listed as a director for the Texas-based company, this doesn’t appear to be a financial move, at least not in the short term. The Rangers needed somebody who could deliver the programming for the remainder of the season without expecting much in the way of finances. For BZZR, a new company, the benefit appears to be exposure in hopes of gaining more traction. \n\n\n\nAccording to multiple reports in the Sports Business Journal, Victory+’s parent company has been seeking additional funding in order to grow. \n\n\n\n“When Rangers Sports Network was launched in January 2025, we committed to providing our fans with the highest-quality options to watch our games,” said Chairman of Rangers Sports Media and Entertainment Company Neil Leibman. “It is unfortunate that this switch in direct-to-consumer distributors was necessary, but the decision was made in the best interest of both the Rangers and our fans. RSN is committed to continued delivery of the highest-quality game broadcast possible, and we feel BZZR is well-positioned to manage a seamless transition.”\n\n\n\nAccording to two people familiar with ongoing talks between the Rangers and Victory+, the club had grown increasingly concerned about the company’s ability to meet financial and delivery obligations. The Rangers, they said, wanted to make sure fans would not potentially be left without the ability to watch games.\n\n\n\n“We’re honored that the Texas Rangers have chosen BZZR as their direct-to-consumer streaming partner. Together, we’re creating a platform that gives fans unprecedented access while helping teams build deeper, year-round relationships with their audiences. We believe this represents the next evolution of sports streaming,” said Jeff Bookout, Founder and Chairman of the Board at BZZR. “Fans want access, community, and connection to the game they love, and that’s what we deliver.”\n\n\n\nClick here to read more on this report from our partners at The Dallas Morning News.\n\n\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/red-fever/rangers-switching-streaming-providers-from-victory-to-bzzr-effective-immediately/4049922/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Charles Nichelson and Evan Grant, Staff Writer | The Dallas Morning News","publishDate":"2026-07-15T12:04:34.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2019%2F09%2FTexas-Rangers-Logo-2.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","slug":"rangers-switching-streaming-providers-from-victory-to-bzzr-effective-immediately"},{"id":"rqwn88","title":"Peptides trending on social media: Experts urge caution before buying into the hype","excerpt":"Peptides have become a popular wellness trend online, with influencers and content creators touting them as solutions for everything from muscle recovery and longevity to improved appearance and overall health. \n\n\n\nWhile the claims can be appealing, medical experts warn that many of the injectabl...","content":"Peptides have become a popular wellness trend online, with influencers and content creators touting them as solutions for everything from muscle recovery and longevity to improved appearance and overall health. \n\n\n\nWhile the claims can be appealing, medical experts warn that many of the injectable peptides being promoted on social media remain largely untested in humans.\n\n\n\nDr. David Winter is a board-certified physician specializing in internal medicine at Baylor Scott & White.\n\n\n\nHe explains that peptides are essentially short chains of amino acids that make up proteins in the body.\n\n\n\n“Proteins are in our body, and they’re made up of amino acids,” said Dr. Winter. \n\n\n\n“In short, chains of amino acids are peptides. They’re kind of a small segment of a protein.”\n\n\n\nWhile some peptides are FDA-approved and prescribed by physicians for specific medical conditions, the growing wellness market has introduced a variety of unregulated peptide products that promise benefits ranging from enhanced recovery to longer life spans.\n\n\n\nWhat Does the Science Say?\n\n\n\nThe challenge, he says, is that many of these claims are not supported by strong human research.\n\n\n\n“They have a lot of promises, and they may do a lot of things,” the physician said. “The truth is, we don’t really know a lot of that. They’ve been tested a lot in animals, but not very much in humans. So there’s not a lot of good science behind them.”\n\n\n\nWhile some users report positive results, Dr. Winter cautioned that anecdotal experiences do not prove effectiveness.\n\n\n\n“There’s no good science that tells us they will exactly do what they’re promised to do if they’re not regulated,” he said.\n\n\n\nFor many people, using peptides may not cause immediate harm. However, experts say there are risks, particularly when multiple supplements and peptides are combined or used at high doses.\n\n\n\nDr. Winter recalled treating a patient who experienced severe psychiatric symptoms after taking a combination of vitamins and peptides.\n\n\n\n“I had a patient just last month who became mentally ill, had to be hospitalized and sedated because he was taking too many vitamins and peptides together,” he said. “Which ones were causing the problem? I have no idea.”\n\n\n\nBecause many of these products are not FDA-approved, their ingredients, dosing and side effects may not be well understood.\n\n\n\n“Anything that a doctor prescribes is FDA-approved. It has some side effects, but they’re limited,” he said. “Anything that’s not FDA-approved, we have no idea.”\n\n\n\n\n\nFor people considering peptides to improve their health or fitness, experts recommend focusing first on proven lifestyle habits.\n\n\n\n“If you want to be healthy, you need to eat healthy,” the physician said. “The best way you can get vitamins is through food.”\n\n\n\nHe also emphasized the importance of regular exercise and quality sleep.\n\n\n\n“Exercise is important. Good sleep is important. All these things make a big difference in your health.”\n\n\n\nSupporters of peptides often point to early research suggesting they may help with muscle recovery. Some studies involving animals have shown promising results.\n\n\n\n“Peptides have actually helped mice recover from muscle injury,” he noted.\n\n\n\nBut translating those findings to people is another matter.\n\n\n\n“It ought to work in humans. Well, we haven’t been able to prove that,” he said. “Maybe it will, maybe it won’t.”\n\n\n\nUntil stronger human evidence exists, he says consumers should be skeptical of claims that peptides can deliver dramatic results.\n\n\n\n“I wouldn’t be inclined to take high doses of peptides to do something that nature might do itself, or that good exercise, good diet and good sleep habits may do the same way.”\n\n\n\nThe rise of “looksmaxxing” culture — a social media trend focused on maximizing physical appearance — has also contributed to increased interest in peptides among teenagers and young adults.\n\n\n\nMany young people are obtaining information from influencers and online personalities, sometimes purchasing the same products promoted in videos and posts.\n\n\n\nWhile younger individuals may be less likely to experience immediate side effects than older adults, experts caution that the lack of research remains a concern.\n\n\n\n“Honestly, younger folks probably tolerate these better than older folks,” the physician said. “But again, you’re taking kind of an uneducated guess as to what these are going to do for me.”\n\n\n\nAs peptide marketing continues to flood social media feeds, experts encourage consumers to rely on scientific evidence rather than influencer endorsements.\n\n\n\n“If you’re going to try something, follow the science,” said Dr. Winter. “Try to find good literature that says these have actually been shown in a scientific study of humans to make a difference.”\n\n\n\nUntil more research becomes available, doctors say healthy eating, exercise and quality sleep remain some of the most reliable ways to support overall health and wellness.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/health/peptides-trending-social-media-experts/4049894/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Bianca Castro","publishDate":"2026-07-15T11:17:14.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fgeneric-peptide.png%3Ffit%3D1302%2C732%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"peptides-trending-on-social-media-experts-urge-caution-before-buying-into-the-hype"},{"id":"q3st3t","title":"2026 Dallas Cowboys position breakdown: Will Caleb Downs provide a boost at safety? - Dallas News","excerpt":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiqAFBVV95cUxQbTlGbkV0SzFUTUZaQXZCd1RNNE5ueE1KeW9NQXRlZTVBX0pIWTlaRV9VUUdCckVoQlhCQ1dGTEl3R1BiNEFoRGhjS01VcGdzQUxsVWdVRGlvQ1lPRDBMZTZpUDM2Z2dMNERoQ2JVdDE1cnJ0RGtTS3o0bjVrSjQzTWFNMkRhWnFHQ1gtXzVXUmpvMnVzWU1WX0RzOVNhZkJ1QTA5WWtvOWk?oc=5\" target=\"_blan...","content":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiqAFBVV95cUxQbTlGbkV0SzFUTUZaQXZCd1RNNE5ueE1KeW9NQXRlZTVBX0pIWTlaRV9VUUdCckVoQlhCQ1dGTEl3R1BiNEFoRGhjS01VcGdzQUxsVWdVRGlvQ1lPRDBMZTZpUDM2Z2dMNERoQ2JVdDE1cnJ0RGtTS3o0bjVrSjQzTWFNMkRhWnFHQ1gtXzVXUmpvMnVzWU1WX0RzOVNhZkJ1QTA5WWtvOWk?oc=5\" target=\"_blank\">2026 Dallas Cowboys position breakdown: Will Caleb Downs provide a boost at safety?</a>  <font color=\"#6f6f6f\">Dallas News</font>","url":"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiqAFBVV95cUxQbTlGbkV0SzFUTUZaQXZCd1RNNE5ueE1KeW9NQXRlZTVBX0pIWTlaRV9VUUdCckVoQlhCQ1dGTEl3R1BiNEFoRGhjS01VcGdzQUxsVWdVRGlvQ1lPRDBMZTZpUDM2Z2dMNERoQ2JVdDE1cnJ0RGtTS3o0bjVrSjQzTWFNMkRhWnFHQ1gtXzVXUmpvMnVzWU1WX0RzOVNhZkJ1QTA5WWtvOWk?oc=5","source":"Google News - \"Frisco, Texas\"","author":"Google News - \"Frisco, Texas\"","publishDate":"2026-07-15T11:03:53.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":2,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Flh3.googleusercontent.com%2FJ6_coFbogxhRI9iM864NL_liGXvsQp2AupsKei7z0cNNfDvGUmWUy20nuUhkREQyrpY4bEeIBuc%3Ds0-w300","slug":"2026-dallas-cowboys-position-breakdown-will-caleb-downs-provide-a-boost-at-safety-dallas-news"},{"id":"z7p5mo","title":"Flooding forces evacuations as slow-moving storms swamp Southern Texas","excerpt":"What to KnowThe highest rainfall totals so far — up to 16 inches — have been in Uvalde County, where officials tallied 25 rescues as of 9 a.m.The National Weather Service says 10 to 20 inches of rain is possible in some places before the storms move out.

In Kerr County, where catastrophic flooding last year killed more than 100 people, officials were in contact with summer camps and retreat centers near rising rivers.\n\n\n\nWidening evacuation warnings and high-water rescues in Texas mounted Wednesday under relentlessly heavy storms that turned roads into rivers, washed away vehicles and spun up a tornado across a busy interstate in San Antonio.\n\n\n\nTexas Game Wardens have rescued over 40 people so far during the flooding, mostly in Uvalde County, according to a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department spokesperson.\n\n\n\nForecasters warned that already dangerous conditions were likely to worsen in some hard-hit communities. The deluge dumped nearly a foot of rain in some counties and put people in dozens of counties under flood watches, including parts of the Texas Hill Country, where last summer’s devastating floods killed more than 100 people. Some of the flood watches were expected to remain in effect through Friday evening.\n\n\n\nThe National Weather Service said a tornado touched down in the northwestern part of San Antonio near Interstate 10. Videos posted on social media showed what appeared to be a small twister. Local officials said apartment buildings and other properties were damaged.\n\n\n\nAs much as 10 to 20 inches of rain was possible in some places before the storms move out, the weather service said.\n\n\n\nThere have been no reports of deaths or injuries from the tornado or the flooding.\n\n\n\n\n\nMore than a foot of rain has fallen, with more to come\n\n\n\nThe highest rainfall totals so far — up to 16 inches  — have been in Uvalde County, where officials tallied 25 rescues as of 9 a.m. Wednesday, and said more people needed help as river levels rose. Highways and roads were closed across the region because of high water.\n\n\n\nThe county typically receives about 23 inches of rain per year, according to the Uvalde County Extension Office.\n\n\n\nThe Uvalde Police Department said on Facebook at 1 p.m. that a dam in the northern part of the county was still intact, but the Leona River was still expected to rise another 15 feet. Police warned people along the river to get to higher ground.\n\n\n\nState Rep. Don McLaughlin said that despite a “little lull,” the rainfall wasn’t done and waterways could become more dangerous. “The rivers and the creeks are going to be coming up, and they’re going to be coming up again with a vengeance,” McLaughlin said.\n\n\n\nFrances McNamara and her 10-year-old son, Everett, watched the bloated Leona River in Uvalde sweep southward Wednesday as she considered possible evacuation routes. She pointed to a solid line of dirt, branches and twigs about 8 feet above the river where the water reached the day before.\n\n\n\n“We’ve seen the water rise, but not to this extent,” she said, describing how it rushed through a ditch next to her home on Tuesday with enough force to sound like a river.\n\n\n\nThis week’s severe weather brought back memories of last year’s deadly flooding in the Texas Hill Country.\n\n\n\n“It scared me,” said McNamara, her eyes wet with tears as she recalled the 2025 floods. “Cause I have a son, and to know what those parents went through.” Her son reached up and patted her back.\n\n\n\n\n\nSome mandatory evacuations ordered in Uvalde\n\n\n\nUvalde Police ordered mandatory evacuations in some areas, with first responders notifying directly affected people, the department said on Facebook. Others were asked to stay vigilant in case more evacuations are needed.\n\n\n\nSome folks walked out of their homes onto the street to see the water growing closer every hour, their faces worried. People living along the river scrambled to pack cars and head out, though many did not yet know where they should go. One man threw two kayaks into his truck bed, just in case.\n\n\n\nBailey Luckman, 26, was getting ready to evacuate with her dog on Wednesday afternoon. The floodwaters are close to her house, she said, and authorities recommended that she leave.\n\n\n\n“I’m very worried about my things,” Luckman said.\n\n\n\nShe gestured to an inundated road nearby, saying she normally drives that route to get to the gym. It looked more like a river than a road.\n\n\n\n“I’ve never seen it flow the way that it is right now, so that’s pretty terrifying,” Luckman said.\n\n\n\nLightning flashed as clouds darkened the landscape, and brown water created large rapids in the typically calm Leona River. The river was pushing up against the town’s high bridge and into neighborhoods by Wednesday afternoon.\n\n\n\nTexas Gov. Greg Abbott has issued disaster declarations for dozens of counties.\n\n\n\nAuthorities posted videos on Tuesday showing a rescue crew in a boat navigating flooded streets and a vehicle being swept away by fast-moving waters. Five people were rescued by the Texas Game Warden Search and Rescue Team and four were rescued by a local game warden, said Maggie Berger, a Texas Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman.\n\n\n\nOther areas of Texas could see dangerous flooding\n\n\n\nForecasters warned that hilly terrain in other parts of the region could be especially vulnerable to heavy rain.\n\n\n\nThe highest level of concern for potentially dangerous flooding on Wednesday was for areas west of San Antonio and north of Route 90, Weather Service meteorologist Monte Oaks said.\n\n\n\nIn Boerne, a city of about 24,000 northwest of San Antonio, officials told residents in several areas to either evacuate voluntarily or prepare to shelter in place as water levels rose. City spokesperson Chris Shadrock said in a Facebook video that high-water rescues were ongoing and that the city’s busiest intersection was “completely underwater.”\n\n\n\n“This is a life-threatening weather event. I don’t want to mince words about how serious this situation is,” Shadrock said.\n\n\n\nHe said the water was rising even in areas that don’t usually flood.\n\n\n\nFirst responders helped a woman escape after a car was swept off Boerne’s River Road by the fast-rising Cibolo Creek.\n\n\n\nPeople in about 20 vehicles were stranded in a nearby gas station parking lot when every surrounding street quickly flooded.

Now he’s leaving his mark on something a little more permanent: Peruvian birth certificates.\n\n\n\nAs Haaland helped Norway reach its deepest-ever run in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, parents across Peru were busy celebrating in a distinctly local fashion.\n\n\n\nAccording to Peru’s National Registry of Identification and Civil Status (RENIEC), 468 newborns were registered with his surname “Haaland,” while another 91 babies received the full name “Erling Haaland” during the tournament.\n\n\n\nThe surge accelerated as Norway advanced to the quarterfinals.\n\n\n\n“Different football stars serve inspiration for Peruvians to register their children with these names,” a RENIEC spokesperson, Ivan Torres, told Panamericana Television. (TODAY.com contacted RENIEC for additional comment but had not heard back by the time of publication.)\n\n\n\nThe phenomenon might seem surprising in a country with no obvious connection to the 25-year-old standout. Peru did not qualify for this year’s World Cup, and Haaland has never played professionally there. Yet his name has become the latest addition to a uniquely Peruvian tradition of treating soccer’s biggest stars as unlikely godparents to a new generation.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 13\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tErling Haaland brings taxidermy raccoon back to Norway after World Cup\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 9\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSoccer fans in China are rooting for Norway's Erling Haaland, their ‘Ha Bao'\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 16\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tErling Haaland dominates in World Cup debut as Norway routs Iraq 4-1\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nMore than 33,800 Peruvians are named after Brazilian soccer star Neymar, while more than 3,400 carry the name of Argentinian legend Messi, including hundreds whose legal first and middle names are “Lionel Messi.” Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo has inspired more than 1,100 namesakes, while Spain’s Lamine Yamal has already lent his surname to more than 1,200 Peruvians, according to figures released by RENIEC.\n\n\n\nIn interviews and videos, the Norwegian striker pronounces his name “AIR-ling HAW-lahn,” rather than the “ER-ling HAW-land” pronunciation commonly heard in English language broadcasts.\n\n\n\n“Erling” is an Old Norse name meaning “descendant of a nobleman,” a fitting name for a player who has become soccer royalty.\n\n\n\nUnlike countries that restrict baby names, Peru gives parents broad discretion in naming their children, and RENIEC officials say names are generally permitted as long as they are not offensive.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

Norway were knocked out in the quarter-final match against England.\n\n\n\nAs the photos of him and his gift went viral, it caught the attention of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), who shared some thoughts on what people can and can’t fly with.\n\n\n\n“We’re getting some questions about flying with taxidermy raccoons holding empty liquor bottles,” reads TSA’s July 14 message on social media. “It’s ok with us but pls check with your airline first.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe taxidermy raccoon was purchased during his visit to Wild Bill’s Western Store in Dallas, according to the local store. On their Instagram story, they shared Haaland’s photo and commented, “We know that raccoon! so cool seeing our little raccoon made it to Norway.”\n\n\n\nHaaland filmed his visit to the store and shared the experience in a July 3 YouTube video he titled “Norway’s Texas Takeover.”\n\n\n\nThe 10-minute vlog shows the athlete trying on a variety of western wear, including boots and hats. It appears that he purchased “four hats, three winter hats and one summer” hat, according to the salesman in the video.\n\n\n\nWhile shopping around, Haaland also expressed interest in a shirt that said, “Y’all can kiss my Dallas.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHaaland, who became an online sensation for U.S. World Cup viewers, couldn’t believe how welcoming everyone was.\n\n\n\n“Unbelievable, so nice. I’m coming back here,” he said. “People are so nice here. So positive. Don’t know what it is, they’re… enjoying life. It’s amazing.”\n\n\n\nHaaland and the rest of Team Norway were unfortunately eliminated during the quarterfinals. They returned to their home country after they lost to England on July 11.\n\n\n\nSince Haaland’s visit, sales from Wild Bill’s have skyrocketed. The store has even begun to offer international shipping for the first time in its history, owner Julie Newport told The Athletic.\n\n\n\n“We are somewhere around 2,000 online orders right now, about 30 per cent of that is international but every day when we wake up, we have more orders,” Newport told the outlet. “For international, we just didn’t have that ability turned on before (Haaland visited).”\n\n\n\nWhile Haaland didn’t share footage of his raccoon purchase, which retails for $750, the store still experienced significant interest in its taxidermy selection.\n\n\n\n“We’ve had a couple of these taxidermy raccoons in the store for the last few years, and he obviously gravitated to that and a couple of the squirrels,” Newport told The Athletic. “(Since he posted on social media), we ordered another raccoon — we put it out on the floor today but by the time we put it on the floor, someone already bought it online.”\n\n\n\nUnfortunately, the taxidermy specialist from whom the store purchased its critters has retired, so there is limited stock of the famous raccoon, Newport told the outlet.\n\n\n\nThe store isn’t shy about its association to Haaland. Its website proudly displays a blurb about its famous fan.\n\n\n\n“Looking for one of the most talked-about souvenirs at Wild Bill’s?” the website says. “Our squirrels and raccoons gained worldwide attention after soccer superstar Erling Haaland shared photos from his visit to Wild Bill’s Western Store during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, introducing millions of fans to one of Texas’ most unexpected western traditions.”\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

The video will challenge viewers to track the lemonade-filled cup as all of the cups shuffle around.\n\n\n\nThe lemonade-filled cup will eventually reveal a code, and the first 100,000 fans to text that code to the number 888-222 will win a free entrée offer.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe free offer can be used for any regularly priced entrée, subject to availability, until July 24.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 16\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPreviewing the Argentina-Spain World Cup final: Key players, stats and more\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 16\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat to know about the FIFA World Cup trophy ahead of the Argentina-Spain final\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 10\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLionel Messi once bathed baby Lamine Yamal.

Bueckers has played for the Junior national team and made her Senior team debut earlier this year. She also competed with the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics 3×3 basketball team. The women’s team is seeking its ninth straight Gold Medal – a streak that started at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. This is the first Summer Olympics hosted by the United States since ’96.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe USWNT won their first Gold Medal at the ’96 Olympics. They’re seeking their sixth Gold overall; they also won in Paris in 2024. Frisco’s Jaedyn Shaw was on the team and is expected to be in 2028.\n\n\n\n\n\nSix-time medalist Suni Lee, 23, recently announced her return to gymnastics. Lee competed at the 2020 Olympics, winning the all-around Gold Medal, and the ’24 Olympics.\n\n\n\nDiscussions for major leaguers to play in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics baseball tournament remain in the early stages, with players used to top hotels wanting to be assured of accommodations. Major League Baseball has envisioned an extended 11-day All-Star break. The last regular-season games before the break would be on July 9, followed by the All-Star Game on July 11, likely at San Francisco, and the Olympic tournament at Dodger Stadium from July 13-19. The season would resume July 21.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe United States qualified automatically as host, and the Dominican Republic and Venezuela earned berths based on their finish in this year’s World Baseball Classic. Asia and Europe/Oceania will have one spot each, and the sixth nation will be determined during a final qualifying tournament.\n\n\n\n\n\nMLB wants player participation to be mandatory for those chosen, along with those picked for future All-Star Games.\n\n\n\n\n\nFlag football and an American Ninja Warrior-style course will make their Olympic debuts in the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles too. The NFL is even launching a pro flag football league.\n\n\n\n\n\nVolunteer applications are now open to the public. Oklahoma City is among the support cities, which is about three hours north of Dallas. Los Angeles suburbs like Carson and Long Beach will also host events.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/olympics/2028-los-angeles/la-2028-summer-olympics-2-years-away-what-can-north-texans-expect/4049807/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Charles Nichelson and RONALD BLUM | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-15T08:20:15.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F03%2FGettyImages-2213407727-e1773355752485.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3000%2C1625","slug":"los-angeles-2028-summer-olympics-2-years-away-what-can-north-texans-expect"},{"id":"v4nmrg","title":"Dallas council members drop lawsuit over City Hall vote","excerpt":"Two Dallas City Council members have dropped their lawsuit over a potential City Hall vote, saying the court order blocking it gave them the relief they sought.\n\n\n\nThe dismissal ends a legal fight over one of Dallas’ biggest civic questions: whether to spend hundreds of millions repairing the nea...","content":"Two Dallas City Council members have dropped their lawsuit over a potential City Hall vote, saying the court order blocking it gave them the relief they sought.\n\n\n\nThe dismissal ends a legal fight over one of Dallas’ biggest civic questions: whether to spend hundreds of millions repairing the nearly 50-year-old I.M.

The Dallas Cowboys’ next game in Arlington is Aug. 28 against the New Orleans Saints in the preseason. The Cowboys’ first real home game is Sunday, Sept. 20 against the Washington Commanders in week 2.\n\n\n\n\n\nAT&T Stadium overhauled hospitality areas, the food menu, and locker rooms for the World Cup. They also installed natural grass turf that grows indoors, which they will return to artificial turf for the Cowboys. The field surface, a Kentucky bluegrass and ryegrass mix, was grown in Colorado before being transported roughly 800 miles to North Texas. Underneath the field is a ventilation and irrigation system designed to maintain the playing surface throughout the tournament.\n\n\n\n\n\nField-level suites were also closed to make room for the elevated pitch. Soccer fields are also wider than NFL fields. \n\n\n\n\n\nLevi’s Stadium, the home of the San Francisco 49ers, restored its branding last week. The Bay Area hosted six matches of its own.\n\n\n\nAT&T Stadium began converting or covering its signage back in May, right after MetLife Stadium (New York/New Jersey) and SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles) did the same. MetLife is hosting the World Cup Final on Sunday, July 19; Miami will host the third-place game on Saturday. Those will be the last two stadiums to convert back.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFIFA even used curtains to block the sun, a recurring issue at Dallas Cowboys’ afternoon games. Hall of Fame Owner Jerry Jones has previously refused to do so despite the sun’s glare blinding players at key moments.\n\n\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/att-stadium-returning-to-normal-signage-branding-after-9-2026-fifa-world-cup-matches/4049739/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-07-15T05:52:48.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fatt2.png%3Ffit%3D442%2C248%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"att-stadium-returning-to-normal-signage-branding-after-nine-2026-world-cup-matches"},{"id":"jn3cjc","title":"Aldi UK store removes Argentinian wine from shelves ahead of World Cup match","excerpt":"One U.K.-based Aldi grocery store has removed its Argentinian wine from store shelves in solidarity with England ahead of Wednesday's FIFA World Cup Match.","content":"One U.K.-based Aldi grocery store has removed its Argentinian wine from store shelves in solidarity with England ahead of Wednesday's FIFA World Cup Match.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/aldi-uk-appears-remove-argentinian-wine-from-shelves-ahead-world-cup-match","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Catherine.Stoddard@fox.com (Catherine Stoddard)","publishDate":"2026-07-14T23:39:33.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.livenowfox.com%2Fwww.livenowfox.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Faldi-uk.jpg","slug":"aldi-uk-store-removes-argentinian-wine-from-shelves-ahead-of-world-cup-match"},{"id":"m8kyz8","title":"FBI: World Cup drone seizures included real estate photographers, roofing inspectors","excerpt":"The FBI’s Dallas Field Office says some of the drone pilots accused of violating airspace restrictions at FIFA World Cup matches told FBI agents they were taking real estate photos or conducting roofing inspections in neighborhoods inside the three-mile no-fly zone around AT&T Stadium in Arlingto...","content":"The FBI’s Dallas Field Office says some of the drone pilots accused of violating airspace restrictions at FIFA World Cup matches told FBI agents they were taking real estate photos or conducting roofing inspections in neighborhoods inside the three-mile no-fly zone around AT&T Stadium in Arlington.\n\n\n\nOthers accused of operating in restricted airspace said they were trying to get a glimpse of the World Cup excitement, according to a top Dallas FBI official.\n\n\n\n“Many of the operators have told us they’re doing it to get an aerial view of the stadium, of the crowds, of the marches, just the environment of the World Cup because it’s such a unique event,” Kevin Vest, assistant special agent-in-charge of the Dallas Field Office, told NBC 5 Investigates.\n\n\n\nFBI agents in Dallas seized at least 84 drones allegedly detected in restricted airspace near the stadium and the FIFA World Cup Fan Festival at Fair Park in Dallas. \n\n\n\nAcross the country, the FBI says it has seized more than 700 drones suspected of violating flight restrictions around World Cup events this summer, making it the largest federal drone enforcement effort yet.\n\n\n\nThe World Cup may be drawing fans eager to see every goal, march and celebration, but federal officials said drone pilots trying to get the ultimate overhead view are risking arrest or criminal charges. \n\n\n\nSecurity rules put in place around the World Cup forbid flying within a three-mile radius around AT&T Stadium and within one mile of the Dallas Fan Festival. Federal agents used technology to detect drones and pinpoint their launch locations. Teams were then sent to find the drone pilot.\n\n\n\nIn Dallas, the fan festival continues Sunday with flight restrictions in place during the watch party for the World Cup Final, which will be played in New Jersey. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKevin Vest, with the Dallas FBI\n\n\n\nThe larger three-mile no-fly zone around AT&T Stadium included many residential neighborhoods and businesses where drones may be used on a normal day for property photos or roofing inspections. But under federal law, all commercial and recreational drone pilots must check for temporary flight restrictions before they fly.\n\n\n\nAviation attorneys told NBC 5 Investigates that ignorance of the rules is not a strong defense.\n\n\n\n“Nope. To be blunt, nope,” said aviation attorney David Norton.\n\n\n\nNorton said it only takes seconds for a drone pilot to find flight-restricted areas listed on the FAA’s website, leaving him wondering why so many people did not seem to get the message about the World Cup restrictions.\n\n\n\n“It does surprise me the number of people who would actually fly drones into sensitive areas like that around such major events,” Norton said.\n\n\n\nAviation attorney David Norton.\n\n\n\nTwo drone operators arrested in Arlington are now facing federal criminal charges.\n\n\n\nLuis Mauricio Flores Ordonez is accused of operating a drone that was not properly registered within the three-mile restricted area around the stadium. His attorney did not immediately respond to questions.\n\n\n\nCristobal Torres Alvarez is accused of flying in the restricted stadium zone without permission or a drone license. His attorney declined to comment on the case, but on a GoFundMe page his family created, they wrote in Spanish that Alvarez was just flying near his house and did not know there would be restrictions due to the World Cup.\n\n\n\nIn court papers, the FBI alleges that both men charged were flying drones with a feature that alerts the pilot when they are in a flight-restricted area. Agents said the alert must be acknowledged before the drone can launch.\n\n\n\n“Whenever we detect a drone, we will dispatch teams on the street to go encounter the pilot,” Vest said.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFederal officials said that type of drone enforcement is likely to become the new norm at major sporting events across the country. NFL games already have similar flight restrictions, but the top White House official overseeing World Cup security told NBC 5 Investigates that lessons learned from intensive enforcement over the last month will shape future security plans.\n\n\n\n“That’s going to be something that long past the last goal is scored on July 19 that we’re going to continue to have to focus on, whether it’s for Cowboys games in Dallas or Longhorns games in Austin or Texans games in Houston or anywhere else in the country,” said Andrew Giuliani, Executive Director of the White House FIFA World Cup Task Force.\n\n\n\nIn Dallas, the FBI told NBC 5 Investigates that none of the drones seized near World Cup events were carrying any sort of dangerous payload. That is the biggest safety concern — that a drone could be used to drop explosives or a dangerous substance on a crowd.\n\n\n\nThe FBI said some drone operators will face civil penalties rather than criminal charges, with decisions made on a case-by-case basis depending on the circumstances and in consultation with federal prosecutors.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tWorld Cup\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 13\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWorld Cup semifinal puts Dallas-area security teams under brightest spotlight yet\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 25\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFour arrested without tickets, one slips away in Dallas Stadium World Cup security breach","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/investigations/fbi-world-cup-drone-seizures-included-real-estate-photographers-roofing-inspectors/4049617/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Scott Friedman, Eva Parks and Edward Ayala","publishDate":"2026-07-14T21:45:28.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fdrone-generic.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"fbi-world-cup-drone-seizures-included-real-estate-photographers-roofing-inspectors"},{"id":"g18za6","title":"Family seeks answers after construction worker is struck and killed by police vehicle","excerpt":"The family of a 22-year-old construction worker is searching for answers after he was struck and killed by a police vehicle at a highway work zone in Mesquite.\n\n\n\nEdwin Valdez died after the crash on June 23 while working at a construction site along Interstate 635.\n\n\n\nHis partner, Jazmin Torres,...","content":"The family of a 22-year-old construction worker is searching for answers after he was struck and killed by a police vehicle at a highway work zone in Mesquite.\n\n\n\nEdwin Valdez died after the crash on June 23 while working at a construction site along Interstate 635.\n\n\n\nHis partner, Jazmin Torres, said the couple had been planning for the future and enjoying life with a new baby — their first child.\n\n\n\n“Ever since he found out, he would always tell me my baby’s going to get the childhood I never did. I’m always going to be there for him, and yeah, he was there with me every appointment,” she told NBC 5.\n\n\n\nMesquite police said the crash happened around 11:40 p.m. when Valdez was guiding a crane across the highway.\n\n\n\nAccording to police, an off-duty police vehicle that was working traffic control for the construction company struck Valdez while the officer was moving to set up for the next road closure.\n\n\n\nValdez was taken to the hospital but died shortly afterward.\n\n\n\nTorres said the loss has changed the course of their family’s future.\n\n\n\n“It definitely sucks knowing my baby now has to grow up without a dad. And it’s not because his dad didn’t want to, but because it was taken away from him,” she said. “All of those dreams were crushed in that instant.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOfficials say the off-duty officer is employed by Southwestern Christian College Police Department in Terrell. NBC 5 reached out to the department for comment and is waiting to hear back.\n\n\n\nTorres said she wants accountability and is asking questions about the circumstances surrounding the crash, including the vehicle’s speed, whether its emergency lights were activated, and whether the collision could have been prevented.\n\n\n\n“His job was to protect Edwin from incidents like this, so he could avoid things like this. And instead of protecting him, he failed him,” Torres said.\n\n\n\nMesquite police said the investigation remains ongoing and have not shared additional details about the crash. \n\n\n\nThe department did say in a statement that based on the preliminary investigation and consultation with the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office, no criminal charges are anticipated at this time.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/construction-worker-struck-killed-police-vehicle/4049673/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Allie Spillyards","publishDate":"2026-07-14T21:13:36.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fconstruction-worker-killed.png%3Ffit%3D859%2C483%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"family-seeks-answers-after-construction-worker-is-struck-and-killed-by-police-vehicle"},{"id":"fd2hnr","title":"Want to be in an H-E-B commercial in North Texas?

Authorities said Roper and another teenager were the last people to see Erving before he died. They admitted to throwing away Erving’s clothes and dumping his phone after they said he accidentally drowned. Roper has since bonded out.\n\n\n\nCrump said the circumstances surrounding the case warrant closer scrutiny and called for prosecutors to take additional action.\n\n\n\n“Send it to a grand jury, build a case, argue zealously, just as if it was your child,” said Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump.\n\n\n\nThe Erving family’s legal team and activists have sharply criticized the handling of the investigation, arguing that more serious charges should be considered.\n\n\n\n“How many times can you all tell us it’s an accidental death before we start to say if it was your child, would you say it was an accidental death? Or would you say it was a murder?” Crump said. \n\n\n\nCrump is also representing the families in two other cases involving the deaths of 18-year-old Black men. One involves Nolen Wells, whose body was found in a Mississippi lake after he had been with friends. The other involves Tyler Smith in Lexington, Kentucky, where police reportedly said he accidentally shot himself while with friends.\n\n\n\nDaniel Erving’s mother, Tameka Erving, said she has recently been in contact with Wells’ mother as both families continue seeking answers.\n\n\n\n“I can relate. I understand how you feel,” Tameka Erving said. “I raised my children to love everybody. So this is, so for those who may say it’s about race, in this case, it I believe that it is.”\n\n\n\nThe Erving family’s legal team said Crump’s involvement brings additional attention to the case as they conduct their own independent investigation.\n\n\n\n“Ben Crump has stood in these moments more than any attorney in America,” said Sean Daredia, the Erving family attorney. “We will make sure that the world hears Daniel Erving’s name.”\n\n\n\nThe Dallas Police Department released the following statement: “As with any active criminal investigation, detectives evaluate information as it is received and will continue to follow the facts wherever they lead. However, because this case remains under active investigation and pending prosecution, the Dallas Police Department cannot comment on the authenticity of materials released by third parties, allegations made outside the judicial process, or evidence that may be presented in future court proceedings.”\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

Agencies safely moved hundreds of thousands of fans through nine matches at Dallas Stadium, provided security for approximately 35,000 daily visitors at Fan Fest in Dallas and coordinated more than 50 escorts for teams and dignitaries traveling between hotels, practice facilities and the stadium.\n\n\n\nGiuliani said the federal funding is intended to reimburse law enforcement agencies for the significant security costs associated with the tournament.\n\n\n\n“We’ve done preliminary budget requests from these 11 host cities to make sure that, A, that all of this money ends up going, or the overwhelming majority ends up going to law enforcement overtime to additional security. And, B, to make sure that there is no fraud, waste, and abuse in any of these issuances right here,” Giuliani said.\n\n\n\nBeyond the federal reimbursement, Giuliani said North Texas law enforcement’s successful security operation showcased the region’s ability to protect fans, athletes and dignitaries during one of the world’s largest sporting events.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

Unai Simon and Spain have only conceded one goal this summer, which came in the 2-1 quarterfinal win vs. Belgium.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoth teams put out strong starting lineups, with Spain being unchanged from the quarterfinals and France bringing in Bradley Barcola in attack and Aurelien Tchouameni in midfield.\n\n\n\nAfter a cautious yet aggressive start from both, Spain were awarded a penalty after a foul by left-back Lucas Digne in the 19th minute. Digne caught Lamine Yamal after attempting a clearance but he missed the ball completely, catching the Spanish winger instead. \n\n\n\nDigne was not given a yellow card. Left-back was a position of worry for France coming into this matchup given Yamal’s threat.\n\n\n\nStriker Mikel Oyarzabal stepped up and drilled it home past goalie Mike Maignan a few minutes later, netting his fifth goal of the 2026 tournament.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt then went from bad to worse for France in a matter of minutes. Star center-back William Saliba went down with what appeared to be a back injury, with Maxence Lacroix coming in in the 30th minute.\n\n\n\nSaliba of Premier League champions Arsenal came into the tournament with back issues but played with it. He formed an elite partnership with Dayot Upamecano but couldn’t continue at a crucial time.\n\n\n\nThe only separator between the two nations at halftime had been the Oyarzabal penalty goal, while Fabian Ruiz came close for Spain on a well-worked tiki-taka move. \n\n\n\nAt the interval, La Furia Roja had 0.99 expected goals across five shots, per data-tracking platform FotMob. Penalties account for about 0.7. They also had 56% possession of the ball with Rodri dominating the midfield. Les Bleus posted just 0.04 expected goals on only two shots. \n\n\n\nSpain then made it 2-0 in the 58th minute as France still couldn’t find any rhythm in attack.\n\n\n\nRight-back Pedro Porro started the move in the right half-space by linking up with Dani Olmo. Olmo played it back and Porro slotted it home for a mesmerizing play.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYamal later thought he had a third when he got in behind Digne and finished past Maignan, but it was called back for a tight offsides.\n\n\n\nSpain held onto win without facing too much threat from France, a shocking narrative turn given how well the attack performed coming into the game. Barcola and Olise came off early for Desire Doue and Rayan Cherki, but the changes made no difference. Ousmane Dembele, the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner, played the full game but didn’t add much threat, either.\n\n\n\nSo, in the first real test France faced after breezing through the tournament, it could not survive at the most vital moment.\n\n\n\nLa Furia Roja ended the game with 1.63 expected goals across 10 total shots. France had just 0.3 on 10 shots, too. The possession battle ended up slightly evening out, with Spain edging it 51-49 as France got on the ball more.\n\n\n\nMbappe is also 0-6 vs. Yamal in single-elimination matches for both club and country. Yamal and Co. won in the UEFA Euro semifinals in 2024, the Supercopa final, Copa del Rey final and Nations League semifinals in 2025 and the 2026 Supercopa Final. This matchup is the latest triumph for the Spaniard.\n\n\n\nSpain will meet either England or Argentina in the final on Sunday. The Three Lions and La Albiceleste will clash in Atlanta on Wednesday.\n\n\n\nLes Bleus will await the loser in the third-place game on Saturday. Their bid for a third straight World Cup final appearance also failed. They beat Croatia in the 2018 final before losing to Lionel Messi and Argentina in extra time of the 2022 final.\n\n\n\nLa Furia Roja last made the final in 2010, when they took down the Netherlands 1-0 in extra time for their first ever win in the tournament.\n\n\n\nManager Luis de la Fuente did not lose a game during the 2024 Euros — that record could continue with another triumph on Sunday.\n\n\n\nSpain started the tournament tying to Cape Verde 0-0, which ultimately began the latter nation’s dream run. La Furia Roja then thrashed Saudi Arabia 4-0 before edging Uruguay 1-0 in the group finale.\n\n\n\nIn the knockout rounds, Spain cruised past Austria 3-0. Mikel Merino then scored late winners to eliminate Portugal 1-0 and Belgium 2-1.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/spain-france-score-yamal-mbappe/4049436/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Sanjesh Singh","publishDate":"2026-07-14T16:15:19.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2285500852-e1784063662842.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D8256%2C4678","slug":"spain-reaches-second-ever-world-cup-final-with-2-0-win-vs-france"},{"id":"kndx79","title":"Texas man sentenced to 20 years for sexually abusing child at furry convention in Atlanta - Local 3 News","excerpt":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiiAJBVV95cUxQeExaYTg1YVVDZkM4QTI1am9iNzhSMnNXdmJidkotZ0RIMkI5Wm5QczZEQmRrdDlhRVY4ajRWazRHUkw0Q29KRWJvNFhFUi11NmYtYUppNTVFRE83QnBXTWR2YlV1eFU0Z3VKZS00b04yU3Ztd3ROc3ZRd2FYQm1XTk5NSXgxNzdYcmtGVmxadkJaOHpPd2dXNlVfZ0V1Y24wS3JsbkFGbjdhS000VkFkWUtDZDNPTGp...","content":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiiAJBVV95cUxQeExaYTg1YVVDZkM4QTI1am9iNzhSMnNXdmJidkotZ0RIMkI5Wm5QczZEQmRrdDlhRVY4ajRWazRHUkw0Q29KRWJvNFhFUi11NmYtYUppNTVFRE83QnBXTWR2YlV1eFU0Z3VKZS00b04yU3Ztd3ROc3ZRd2FYQm1XTk5NSXgxNzdYcmtGVmxadkJaOHpPd2dXNlVfZ0V1Y24wS3JsbkFGbjdhS000VkFkWUtDZDNPTGpGQm1xVy0xdjBBOTBMUWpGTDhlZGtWOUpjLTVYMkhmMi1nYlI2cmx5TVV3akE1VXVnUkdUb0Jyd2pna3FSY1dNUGs0QWRjR05pWGxFWS1OUmg?oc=5\" target=\"_blank\">Texas man sentenced to 20 years for sexually abusing child at furry convention in Atlanta</a>  <font color=\"#6f6f6f\">Local 3 News</font>","url":"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiiAJBVV95cUxQeExaYTg1YVVDZkM4QTI1am9iNzhSMnNXdmJidkotZ0RIMkI5Wm5QczZEQmRrdDlhRVY4ajRWazRHUkw0Q29KRWJvNFhFUi11NmYtYUppNTVFRE83QnBXTWR2YlV1eFU0Z3VKZS00b04yU3Ztd3ROc3ZRd2FYQm1XTk5NSXgxNzdYcmtGVmxadkJaOHpPd2dXNlVfZ0V1Y24wS3JsbkFGbjdhS000VkFkWUtDZDNPTGpGQm1xVy0xdjBBOTBMUWpGTDhlZGtWOUpjLTVYMkhmMi1nYlI2cmx5TVV3akE1VXVnUkdUb0Jyd2pna3FSY1dNUGs0QWRjR05pWGxFWS1OUmg?oc=5","source":"Google News - \"Frisco, Texas\"","author":"Google News - \"Frisco, Texas\"","publishDate":"2026-07-14T15:51:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":2,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Flh3.googleusercontent.com%2FJ6_coFbogxhRI9iM864NL_liGXvsQp2AupsKei7z0cNNfDvGUmWUy20nuUhkREQyrpY4bEeIBuc%3Ds0-w300","slug":"texas-man-sentenced-to-20-years-for-sexually-abusing-child-at-furry-convention-in-atlanta-local-3-ne"},{"id":"k327hp","title":"Fort Worth illustrator earns praise on global soccer stage","excerpt":"In the nine matches played at Dallas Stadium in Arlington, players and fans came from 15 countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Croatia, Egypt, England, France, Ivory Coast, Japan, Jordan, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden.\n\n\n\nSoccer connects these diverse cultures and communities, ...","content":"In the nine matches played at Dallas Stadium in Arlington, players and fans came from 15 countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Croatia, Egypt, England, France, Ivory Coast, Japan, Jordan, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden.\n\n\n\nSoccer connects these diverse cultures and communities, and that’s also reflected in the official host city posters. \n\n\n\nFIFA asked each of the 16 host cities in Canada, Mexico and the United States to create a poster to showcase local artists and each city’s connection to this global sport.\n\n\n\nThe Dallas host city poster design shows a cowboy kicking a soccer ball towards a city skyline. The winning entry came from Matt Cliff, an illustrator in Fort Worth.\n\n\n\n“I want them to understand, yes, cowboy culture is a part of DFW and the metroplex, and so is the modern age. We have an incredibly iconic skyline in Dallas, and you gotta figure out how to merge those things,” Cliff said.\n\n\n\nHe submitted his design back in October 2024. He learned in January 2025 that his design had won. The big reveal then came in March, the last of the 16 host city posters to be debuted.\n\n\n\n“It was a lot of pressure I didn’t know I was under, ” Cliff said. “The night before the unveiling, I talked to my wife and said, ‘We should look up the other posters.’ She said, ‘Well, there’s hundreds of thousands of people looking at these other ones, and they’re anticipating the Dallas one.’ The next day, I was scheduled to speak for the unveiling in Dallas. And at that point, I realized there’s quite a few people with eyes on this.”\n\n\n\nNow, more than a year and a half later, Cliff is enjoying his place on the world stage, signing autographs, giving talks, seeing his work in the wild and how it impacts people. \n\n\n\n“I mainly work in my office and keep my nose to the grindstone, ” Cliff said. “When you’re a freelance artist, and I work mostly in the music industry, you’re building the staircase as you climb it. So it’s a different experience to be out with people. And it’s created an opportunity for me to meet people from around the world and interact with how people are interacting with my work, which is something I don’t usually get to do. It’s forced me to enjoy this experience more than I would in another opportunity.”\n\n\n\nMultiple companies got Matt’s design, and his art showed up on everything from beach towels to T-shirts to water bottles. He doesn’t get a penny from those sales but the payoff may be bigger. \n\n\n\n“When you design for a global audience, you kinda need to lean into the stereotypes, but they’re stereotypes for a reason,” he said. “There’s a reason why people think there are cowboys all over Texas because they kinda are. I went to a Sweden game, and everyone from Sweden was wearing cowboy hats. It was one of those situations where I was like, ‘OK.I think I got it right.’ And it resonated with the right people.”\n\n\n\nCliff hopes his success inspires kids and others to go after something big. \n\n\n\n“This was something that I took a chance on, and it wound up being one of the biggest things in my career that I’ve ever worked on,” he said.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/fort-worth-illustrator-global-soccer/4049424/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Deborah Ferguson","publishDate":"2026-07-14T15:01:57.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Ffifa-dallas-poster.png%3Ffit%3D1302%2C732%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"fort-worth-illustrator-earns-praise-on-global-soccer-stage"},{"id":"xppd0a","title":"Registration deadline approaching for Dallas Mayor's Back to School Fair","excerpt":"Students living in Dallas or attending Dallas ISD schools have until July 26 to register for this year’s Mayor’s Back to School Fair.\n\n\n\nThe 30th Annual Dallas Mayor’s Back to School Fair connects families and students in Dallas or in the Dallas ISD with free resources to start the next school ye...","content":"Students living in Dallas or attending Dallas ISD schools have until July 26 to register for this year’s Mayor’s Back to School Fair.\n\n\n\nThe 30th Annual Dallas Mayor’s Back to School Fair connects families and students in Dallas or in the Dallas ISD with free resources to start the next school year, including school supplies, health and dental checks, haircuts and more. \n\n\n\nThe annual event takes place from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 7, at the Hall of State in Fair Park.

Both clubs lost in devastating fashion in the semis, with heavily-favored France being shut out by Spain and England surrendering two goals in the final minutes to fall 2-1 to Argentina.\n\n\n\nThe third place game typically gets less attention, for obvious reasons, but this year’s matchup should be worth watching. Mbappé, the reigning Golden Boot winner, is tied with Messi for the most goals in the tournament as he looks to repeat. Kane and Jude Bellingham are both two goals behind Mbappé and Messi, giving them an outside chance, as well.\n\n\n\nThe Three Lions are seeking their best World Cup finish since they won it all in 1966, while Les Bleus aim for a third straight top-3 result after winning in 2018 and placing second in 2022.\n\n\n\nSo, where will the France-England showdown take place?

Americans vote in more than 10,000 different jurisdictions with different rules, making the nations’ elections extraordinarily complicated but safe from widespread fraud.\n\n\n\nNo credible intelligence has emerged showing that the vote count in 2020 was manipulated by foreign actors. Repeated audits and reviews — manyrun by Republicans, including Trump’s own then-attorney general — have found no significant fraud occurred in 2020.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tElections\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 10\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump ousts members of bipartisan federal election commission\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFBI\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 2\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFBI directing hundreds of analysts to probe of Georgia's 2020 presidential election\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nEven if substantiated, Trump’s claims did not amount to conduct that would have altered the outcome of any race, let alone the 2020 race for the White House.\n\n\n\nHe also did not raise doubts about his election wins in 2016 or 2024. \n\n\n\nAs Trump spoke, the White House unveiled a website containing documents that were presented without context and included selectively released pieces of investigation files, intelligence analysis and correspondence.\n\n\n\nFormer intelligence official calls address ‘dangerous’\n\n\n\nSue Gordon, principal deputy director of national intelligence in Trump’s first term, called the president’s address “a dangerous speech about an incredibly important topic.” She said the intelligence community throughout Trump’s first term was alarmed about foreign interference in elections, but Trump scoffed at them, angered at the investigation of his campaign’s relationship with Russia.\n\n\n\n“He had an entire term to deal with it and I don’t know how you can believe how the same community that told him about it, that was excoriated about it” wouldn’t warn him in 2020, Gordon said on CNN.\n\n\n\nConservative commentator John Solomon, who joined the White House staff last month and was seated in the East Room for Trump’s speech, later told MS NOW that “the intelligence community has zero evidence that someone has flipped – that a foreign power flipped — a vote in 2020, ‘22 or ’24.”\n\n\n\nBut, he added, “We’re not through all the documents.”\n\n\n\nTrump urged the Justice Department to conduct investigations and prosecutions, though it was unclear from his speech what sort of criminal conduct — if any — could be identified, proven and charged.\n\n\n\nIn a contrast with his concerns about foreign interference in elections, Trump in his new budget proposes a $707 million cut in the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, the group charged with protecting American election systems from overseas cyberattacks. Trump and other conservatives have been frustrated that the organization pushed back on election claims in 2020 and beyond.\n\n\n\n\n\nSome networks did not air it live\n\n\n\nIn past presidencies, primetime addresses have typically been reserved for major milestones or nationally significant events.\n\n\n\nTrump last spoke to the nation in April, giving an address on the Iran war a month after it started. He said then that the U.S. would accomplish its objectives “very shortly” and that “the hard part is done, so it should be easy.” The war, however, has dragged on and strikes between the U.S. and Iran have intensified this week.\n\n\n\nTrump also delivered a politically charged primetime speech in December in which he sought to blame the challenging economic climate on Democrats.\n\n\n\nABC, NBC and CNN did not air Thursday’s remarks live but carried them in full on their streaming services.\n\n\n\nCBS and MS NOW both cut away from Trump’s speech before he finished, while Fox News continued to carry his address.\n\n\n\nTrump called out the media outlets for not carrying it live, accused them of being “part of a plot” and suggested their broadcast licenses be revoked. \n\n\n\nNetworks typically — but not always — carry presidential addresses to the nation live. In 2022, when Biden delivered a primetime address full of warnings about Trump and his adherents’ “extreme ideology,” the networks did not carry it live. \n\n\n\nIn 2014, the major networks chose to stick with their primetime programming instead of airing an address by President Barack Obama on his plans for immigration reform.\n\n\n\n\n\nDemocrats accuse Trump of seeking to discredit next election\n\n\n\nDemocrats warned that Trump was trying to revive false claims of past stolen elections in order to delegitimize the 2026 midterm elections, in which Trump’s Republican Party is facing headwinds.\n\n\n\nDemocratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia called Trump’s claims “totally bogus.”\n\n\n\n“The fact is our intelligence agencies unanimously agreed that China did not even try to change a single vote in the 2020 election,” Warner said in a statement on X. “A single concurring opinion suggested China may have tried to sway voters’ opinions … but that’s been public knowledge since 2021.”\n\n\n\nRep. Joseph Morelle of New York, the ranking Democrat on the administration committee that handles federal voting issues and elections, said Trump is trying to sow confusion before the midterm elections.\n\n\n\n“This is a pretext for the president, I think, calling into dispute the 2026 elections,” Morelle said on C-SPAN, adding that “we have secure elections.”\n\n\n\n“I heard no concrete allegations that foreign actors actually changed the results of an American election,” Democratic Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware said on CNN.\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nAssociated Press writers Mary Clare Jalonick, Lisa Mascaro and Will Weissert in Washington, Ali Swenson and Jocelyn Noveck in New York and Nicholas Riccardi in Denver contributed to this report.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/president-trump-national-address-thursday-voting-elections/4050665/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Michelle L.

La Albiceleste would not have made it this far in their repeat bid without him, as Messi leads the Golden Boot race with eight goals and four assists. \n\n\n\nSpain is anchored by 19-year-old prodigy Lamine Yamal, who is overcoming hamstring issues but is still playing a central role to his team’s success. La Furia Roja are a nightmare for any side due to their unique fusion of technical brilliance and physicality. Even a star-studded France failed to deal any damage.\n\n\n\nOf course, there’s also the fact that Messi once bathed Yamal as a baby in 2007. Both are star left-footed playmakers who play on the right flank, Barcelona products and the key forces behind their respective nations.\n\n\n\nEither Messi goes back to back for another iconic sporting achievement or the torch is truly passed to Yamal, soccer’s next big prospect.\n\n\n\nHere’s everything to know for the blockbuster World Cup final clash:\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tMORE WORLD CUP COVERAGE\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 16\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup winners will get first ever championship rings, FIFA says\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 16\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat to know about the FIFA World Cup trophy ahead of the Argentina-Spain final\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 14\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen and where is the World Cup final being played?

In Lionel Scaloni’s 4-4-2 setup, Messi operates as the right-sided forward so he cut inside on his stronger left foot. He oftentimes will drift to the right wing, too, to act as a playmaking hub for crosses into the box. It’s how Argentina pulled off comebacks vs. Egypt and England. \n\n\n\nThe four-man midfield will also be important for Scaloni to get right. It didn’t work well against Cape Verde, Egypt and Switzerland, with all games being too close for comfort. Scaloni made a change vs. England to have youngster Giuliano Simeone on the right flank, a true winger who supplied fresh energy. But the left side needed better balance, as Alexis Mac Allister isn’t a width holder. That’ll be something to consider.\n\n\n\nFor Spain, the offense typically runs through Yamal on the right flank in Luis de la Fuente’s hybrid 4-2-3-1 shape. He’s gotten crucial goalscoring help from Mikel Oyarzabal up top, who has five goals this summer. Star left winger Nico Williams has battled knocks throughout the tournament, but may have a say off the bench. \n\n\n\nThe real heartbeat of La Furia Roja has been in midfield, though. Rodri, the 2024 Ballon d’Or winner, has returned to peak form following an ACL tear has been running games almost by himself at times. Fabian Ruiz has come in for Pedri in the double pivot to provide better balance alongside the Manchester City star. Super sub Mikel Merino scored two late winners vs. Portugal and Belgium with box-crashing runs. If Spain is to overcome Messi and Co., winning the midfield battle will be vital.\n\n\n\n\n\nStatistics to know for Argentina-Spain World Cup final\n\n\n\n1 – Spain have conceded just once throughout this World Cup, which includes games vs. Uruguay, Austria, Portugal, Belgium (the goalscorer) and France. Rodri, Aymeric Laporte, Pau Cubarsi and Unai Simon have all been vital.\n\n\n\n8 – Messi leads the Golden Boot race with eight goals and four assists, which could change if Kylian Mbappe plays and adds to his tally in Saturday’s third-place game. \n\n\n\n6-2-6 – Both teams have six wins, two draws and six losses against one another. The most recent matchup was a friendly in 2018, which Spain won 6-1. The only previous World Cup battle was in 1966, which Argentina won 2-1.\n\n\n\n1 and 2 – FIFA’s updated rankings has Argentina No. 1 and Spain No. 2. The nations also held those spots before the tournament started, making this the first World Cup match to feature the top two ranked teams since they were introduced in 1992.\n\n\n\nHow many World Cups do Argentina and Spain have?\n\n\n\nArgentina has three World Cups in its history. The first came in 1978 on home soil before winning two in three with another win in 1986. The most recent success came in 2022, so La Albiceleste is looking to become the first repeat winner in 64 years.\n\n\n\nSpain has just one final appearance and one win, which came in 2010. This is the nation’s second World Cup final berth.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/argentina-spain-final-preview-messi-yamal/4050633/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Sanjesh Singh","publishDate":"2026-07-16T17:22:27.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fmessi-trophy-yamal-getty-71626.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2250%2C1269","slug":"previewing-the-argentina-spain-world-cup-final-key-players-stats-and-more"},{"id":"b8s9a3","title":"Iceberg lettuce supplier investigated as possible source in cyclosporiasis outbreak","excerpt":"The Food and Drug Administration is investigating iceberg lettuce supplied to Taco Bell by Taylor Farms as a possible source in an escalating outbreak of cyclosporiasis, a stomach bug that causes weeks of severe diarrhea, in five states, according to a person familiar with the investigation.\n\n\n\nN...","content":"The Food and Drug Administration is investigating iceberg lettuce supplied to Taco Bell by Taylor Farms as a possible source in an escalating outbreak of cyclosporiasis, a stomach bug that causes weeks of severe diarrhea, in five states, according to a person familiar with the investigation.\n\n\n\nNationwide, nearly 7,000 people may have been sickened, with 1,645 of those cases confirmed and more than 5,100 still under investigation, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. No deaths have been reported.\n\n\n\nEarlier this week, the CDC announced an investigation into more than 400 cases in Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky. A source with knowledge of the federal health investigation said Thursday that Indiana appears to be part of that outbreak.\n\n\n\nThe possible outbreak source was first reported by the Washington Post.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s unclear whether produce from Taylor Farms could be linked to cases in other states with cases. Health officials have said it’s likely that multiple outbreaks are ongoing in at least 34 states.\n\n\n\nIn an emailed statement, Taco Bell said it has voluntarily removed lettuce suspected in the outbreak from its supply chain nationwide “indefinitely” and will replace it in selected states within the next day.\n\n\n\n“While no official advisory has been issued, we believe public health is a shared responsibility among restaurants, their suppliers, and authorities, and we are proud to have consistently acted quickly and proactively to protect our guests,” the statement read. “We encourage all relevant restaurants, retailers, and foodservice operators to do the same.”\n\n\n\nTaylor Farms did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHealth & Wellness\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 15\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTaco Bell issues statement, some locations pull ingredients over cyclosporiasis outbreak\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHealth & Wellness\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 9\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat is cyclosporiasis, the ‘explosive diarrhea' parasite infection tied to produce?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nMichigan has been hit hardest in the outbreak, with 4,312 cases as of Thursday. (The CDC’s count often lag behind state counts.) The state’s health department said that 102 people in Michigan have had to be hospitalized.\n\n\n\nMichigan health officials previously flagged lettuce and salad greens as a potential source based on more than 1,000 interviews with people who’ve tested positive.\n\n\n\nGetting to the source of the outbreak has been difficult, as the incubation period for the parasite to make a person sick can be up to two weeks.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis isn’t the first time Taylor Farms has been connected to a cyclosporiasis outbreak. In 2013, 631 people in 25 states were sickened by a salad mix linked to the company, health officials concluded. Many of the illnesses occurred in Iowa and Nebraska among people who’d eaten at Olive Garden and Red Lobster. The outbreak was eventually traced to a salad mix from a Taylor Farms processing plant in Mexico.\n\n\n\nHealth officials also determined that Taylor Farms was also at the root of a 2024 E. coli outbreak linked to slivered onions on McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburgers. According to the FDA, 104 people were sickened in 14 states in that outbreak. Nearly three dozen were hospitalized, four people, including at least one child, developed severe kidney problems. One person, an older adult from Colorado, died.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarina Kopf contributed.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/iceberg-lettuce-supplier-investigated-possible-source-cyclosporiasis-outbreak/4050689/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Erika Edwards and Sara G.

It’s “absurd for anyone to insinuate that this president is profiting off of the presidency.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/politics/trump-teleprompter-operator-alleged-prediction-market-bets/4050595/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Bill Barrow | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-16T15:26:30.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FTRUMP-TELEPROMPTER.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C675","slug":"trumps-teleprompter-operator-on-unpaid-leave-for-alleged-prediction-market-bets"},{"id":"om5zoe","title":"Arvest to open first Texas location - Talk Business & Politics","excerpt":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMieEFVX3lxTE8xcGlzODVLRlo2Q09oUlZZbUZQSDJhclFzTG5DWXpiYlVfd3BJNXJHUXlEOG9HTFNlcjRnOW50Zzd3NmlTWUFndXladlN5SUJGNVJEZU83WWQwVnhIWTQ4SGhRY3huRkpDZTc2eXNEN3Z6elFCTXo3UQ?oc=5\" target=\"_blank\">Arvest to open first Texas location</a>  <font color=\"#6f6f6f\"...","content":"<a href=\"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMieEFVX3lxTE8xcGlzODVLRlo2Q09oUlZZbUZQSDJhclFzTG5DWXpiYlVfd3BJNXJHUXlEOG9HTFNlcjRnOW50Zzd3NmlTWUFndXladlN5SUJGNVJEZU83WWQwVnhIWTQ4SGhRY3huRkpDZTc2eXNEN3Z6elFCTXo3UQ?oc=5\" target=\"_blank\">Arvest to open first Texas location</a>  <font color=\"#6f6f6f\">Talk Business & Politics</font>","url":"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMieEFVX3lxTE8xcGlzODVLRlo2Q09oUlZZbUZQSDJhclFzTG5DWXpiYlVfd3BJNXJHUXlEOG9HTFNlcjRnOW50Zzd3NmlTWUFndXladlN5SUJGNVJEZU83WWQwVnhIWTQ4SGhRY3huRkpDZTc2eXNEN3Z6elFCTXo3UQ?oc=5","source":"Google News - \"Frisco, Texas\"","author":"Google News - \"Frisco, Texas\"","publishDate":"2026-07-17T00:06:27.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":2,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Flh3.googleusercontent.com%2FJ6_coFbogxhRI9iM864NL_liGXvsQp2AupsKei7z0cNNfDvGUmWUy20nuUhkREQyrpY4bEeIBuc%3Ds0-w300","slug":"arvest-to-open-first-texas-location-talk-business-politics"},{"id":"ucdqnl","title":"Texas buys first state-owned firefighting helicopters to fight wildfires","excerpt":"Texas is launching its first state-owned firefighting fleet with a $257 million helicopter purchase to speed up wildfire response and protect communities.","content":"Texas is launching its first state-owned firefighting fleet with a $257 million helicopter purchase to speed up wildfire response and protect communities.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/texas-buys-first-state-owned-firefighting-helicopters-fight-wildfires","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Joseph.Rowe@fox.com (Joseph Rowe)","publishDate":"2026-07-17T21:20:37.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox7austin.com%2Fwww.fox7austin.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fdsc_0981-1.jpg","inBriefing":true,"slug":"texas-buys-first-state-owned-firefighting-helicopters-to-fight-wildfires"},{"id":"6ijbz5","title":"Southlake police officer saves driver from burning car during traffic stop","excerpt":"A Southlake police officer is being called a hero after breaking a window to rescue a driver from a burning car during a recent traffic stop.","content":"A Southlake police officer is being called a hero after breaking a window to rescue a driver from a burning car during a recent traffic stop.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/southlake-police-officer-saves-driver-from-burning-car-during-traffic-stop","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Dan.Godwin@fox.com (Dan Godwin)","publishDate":"2026-07-16T19:15:24.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fv-dan-southlake-pd-burning-vehicle-rescue-live-5a_00.00.18.30.jpg","slug":"southlake-police-officer-saves-driver-from-burning-car-during-traffic-stop"},{"id":"q95npf","title":"Chloe Fineman leaving ‘SNL' after 7 seasons: ‘Greatest privilege of my life'","excerpt":"After seven seasons of viral sketches and celebrity impressions, Chloe Fineman is leaving “Saturday Night Live” ahead of its 52nd season.\n\n\n\nThe comedian announced on Instagram July 16 that she is departing from the show, describing her time on the comedy staple as “the greatest privilege” of her...","content":"After seven seasons of viral sketches and celebrity impressions, Chloe Fineman is leaving “Saturday Night Live” ahead of its 52nd season.\n\n\n\nThe comedian announced on Instagram July 16 that she is departing from the show, describing her time on the comedy staple as “the greatest privilege” of her life.\n\n\n\n“It’s really hard to leave SNL but it does feel like the right time,” Fineman wrote. “I’m going to miss it a lot. But the people who work there are my family and that place is my home, and I know I’ll never be too far away.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHer departure follows a slew of exits from many of the show’s veteran comedians in 2025, including Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim and Bowen Yang, as well as Michael Longfellow, Devon Walker and Emil Wakim, who were shorter-tenured performers.\n\n\n\nAhead of the Season 51 premiere in September 2025, Fineman told Extra TV that she was still wrapping her head around the shakeups.\n\n\n\n“Some shocking stuff,” she said. “A little heartbreak, sadness. I haven’t fully processed anything, but I will say the show has such a turnover.”\n\n\n\nIn the post announcing her departure, Fineman wrote about the highs and lows of working on the show: “I still can’t really believe I got to be a part of it. I fell in love with the place the second I walked through the door.”\n\n\n\nShe also joked about the plights of working on “SNL,” recalling how performers can “sob uncontrollably” when a sketch is cut, only to look back “a few years later” and realize “it was a sketch called ‘lipstick for thicc dogs.’”\n\n\n\nFineman wrapped up her farewell message with a final declaration about the sketch: “And I swear to God, one day, sometime in the future, they WILL make lipstick for thicc dogs,” she wrote.\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

Ray James) in Folkston.\n\n\n\nThe agency said emergency responders transported Arenas-Silva to Irwin County Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.\n\n\n\n“The suspected cause of death was cardiac arrest; the official cause of death is pending additional medical examination,” the statement said.\n\n\n\nAccording to ICE, Arenas-Silva first attempted to enter the United States through the San Luis Port of Entry in Arizona on Oct. 1, 2021, where he was deemed inadmissible. The agency said he later entered the country illegally on or about Oct. 11, 2021, near Calexico, California, where he was apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol. He was issued a Notice to Appear in immigration court the following day.\n\n\n\nAn immigration judge in Atlanta ordered his removal to Venezuela on April 27, 2026, and Arenas-Silva was arrested on July 9 during an immigration enforcement operation in Dallas, Georgia, according to ICE.\n\n\n\nPerson identified as his sister says he needed medication\n\n\n\nA person identified by the advocacy group Detention Watch Network as Arenas-Silva’s sister, whose name was not released, said in a statement that his arrest was “traumatic” for the family.\n\n\n\n“We begged ICE not to take him because of his medical needs, but they ignored our pleas. They also ignored our request to at least allow him to take all of his medications with him, authorizing only one medication,” she said.\n\n\n\nAccording to Detention Watch Network, Arenas-Silva later told his family member that ICE had not provided him with the medication he needed. The organization did not specify the medical condition or medications involved.\n\n\n\n“He was a loving son and brother, a caring and hardworking man who came to this country seeking better opportunities. His tragic death has left our family with an enormous void and profound grief,” the statement continued.\n\n\n\nIn its statement, ICE said Arenas-Silva received medical care and was evaluated by healthcare professionals during his detention.\n\n\n\nDeaths in ICE custody\n\n\n\nAt least 52 people have died while in ICE custody since President Donald Trump’s inauguration through to June 4, 2026, according to a Human Rights Watch report.\n\n\n\n“The death rate in ICE custody is at its highest level in more than a decade and has more than doubled since the start of Trump’s second term. That rate is nearly four times higher than during the Biden administration and more than two and a half times higher than during Trump’s first administration,” the report states.\n\n\n\nUnder ICE’s 2021 policy on “Detainee Death Reporting, Review, and Notification Requirements,” the agency issues public notifications of deaths in its custody to all interested parties, including the general public, within two business days.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/immigrant-dies-ice-custody-four-days-after-arrest-georgia/4050572/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Johanna A.

We even dress the same, or we wear headbands. And so it goes to show even when you’re not saying it, they’re watching our behavior.”\n\n\n\nJenna Bush Hager, whose daughters Mila and Poppy are slightly younger than Clara, agreed with Sheinelle.\n\n\n\n“The way I want her to live is how I’m trying to live, right?” Sheinelle said of her daughter. “So I don’t want to look in the mirror and disparage the body that’s kept me healthy.”\n\n\n\nSheinelle acknowledged that her daughter’s needs may shift as she grows, especially as she enters high school.\n\n\n\nBoth women applauded Tracee Ellis Ross for putting herself in the power position of being the “chooser” in relationships, not waiting to be “chosen.”\n\n\n\n“I have told my girls that,” Jenna said. “Because what it does is it empowers women to think about what they want — in everything, not just in romantic relationships.”\n\n\n\nShe wants her kids to decide what they want in a relationship, in a high school or college. “You’re the chooser,” Jenna said.\n\n\n\nShe then followed up quickly with a shrug and said, “I mean, Poppy’s 10.

Both the victim and Cobos-Martinez were employees at a motel off of Samuel Blvd, where the attack happened.\n\n\n\nInvestigators previously told NBC 5 that Cobos-Martinez placed the victim’s head in a trash can and was wearing a blood-soaked T-shirt when officers arrested him.\n\n\n\nAccording to the arrest affidavit, Cobos-Martinez was cleaning a motel room with a co-worker when Nagamallaiah told him not to use a broken washing machine. The co-worker told investigators Cobos-Martinez became angry because the victim spoke to her as a translator rather than addressing him directly.\n\n\n\nThe affidavit says surveillance video showed Cobos-Martinez leave the motel room, retrieve a machete and repeatedly stab and strike the victim.\n\n\n\nThe indictment alleges he caused Nagamallaiah’s death “by stabbing and by cutting and by chopping.” It further alleges he used multiple weapons, including a knife, an axe, a machete and another sharp object, while attempting to rob the victim.\n\n\n\nRecords show Cobos-Martinez has a history of escalating violence, with charges that span Florida, California and Texas, including vehicle theft, an attempted carjacking and assault-related cases.\n\n\n\nIn 2018, he was arrested on an indecency with a child charge in Harris County, but the charge was later dismissed for insufficient evidence. He spent a year in jail for an assault charge related to the case.\n\n\n\nNagamallaiah, known as Bob by friends and family, was described as a selfless and kind person who always had “a kind word and a smile, and who never hesitated to help others in need.”\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tPrevious coverage:\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDallas\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSep 10, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMan beheaded with machete at Dallas motel, head put in the trash, police say\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDallas\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSep 12, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMotel beheading suspect's criminal history reveals escalating path of violent crime\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDallas\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSep 11, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tICE says suspect in motel beheading was released from custody on supervision order in January","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/prosecutors-will-not-seek-the-death-penalty-in-dallas-motel-beheading-case-da-says/4049984/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Sara Sanchez","publishDate":"2026-07-15T13:18:34.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2025%2F09%2Fn5pf-p-motel-beheading-_KXASA1HO_2025-09-12-18-32-00.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dallas-da-wont-seek-death-penalty-in-motel-beheading-case"},{"id":"tm03vk","title":"Beach Boys' Mike Love selling Lake Tahoe estate for $43 million.

It is surrounded by six acres of preserved land the family placed into a conservation to prevent future development, securing the home’s ability to maintain the privacy and natural environment as it exists today.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThat decision secures the setting, maintaining the privacy and natural environment as they exist today, with panoramic views of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada forming a constant backdrop.\n\n\n\nThe stone-covered mansion includes a recording studio, home theater, wine cellar, a poker room, an in-home sauna and gym, and a pool with with panoramic views of Lake Tahoe.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Much of Love’s work took shape within these walls, in a setting built to support the creative process rather than separate from it,” listing agent Jeannette Harpole of Habitat Nevada said in a press release of the homes pitched ceilings and acoustics.\n\n\n\nThe home also features elements from Eastern philosophy and meditation practices throughout, from a hand-carved Ganesh at the entry to a Hindu statuary and a celestial dome ceiling. The front door was commissioned by Love and created by southern Indian temple artisans and blessed by a temple priest.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheck out more pictures of the property below:","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/beach-boys-mike-love-selling-lake-tahoe-estate-for-43-million/4049955/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Danielle Abreu","publishDate":"2026-07-15T12:51:35.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FMike-Love-Lake-tahoe-copy.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C675","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"beach-boys-mike-love-selling-lake-tahoe-estate-for-43-million-see-inside"},{"id":"t9iq81","title":"Live updates: Argentina leads England 2-1 in World Cup semifinal","excerpt":"What to KnowAnthony Gordon gave England the lead in the 55th minute after tapping home Morgan Rogers’ cross in transition.

While authorities continue their broader review, Taco Bell has voluntarily and temporarily removed limited ingredients at select restaurants as a precautionary measure. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and follow the guidance of public health authorities.” \n\n\n\nLast week, local news outlets in the Detroit area reported signs at certain Taco Bell locations indicating the restaurants had pulled lettuce, cilantro, onion, pico de gallo and guacamole. The Washington Post on Tuesday, citing sources, reported health officials were investigating a possible connection between the outbreak and the fast food chain, but health officials would not confirm that claim. \n\n\n\nMichigan has seen the most cases of cyclosporiasis of any state in the U.S. so far — and by a large margin. \n\n\n\nAs of Wednesday, more than 3,700 cases had been reported in the state. \n\n\n\nHealth officials there have said no exact source has been identified but that “current results point to lettuce or salad greens.” They noted that “other food items cannot be completely ruled out” and “no specific type of produce, grower or supplier has been identified as the source.”\n\n\n\n“Although we do not have a definite product identified as the source of the outbreak, we want to let Michiganders know what we have learned so far so they can take steps to protect their families,” Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, chief medical executive for MDHSS, said in a statement. “Early information has shown lettuce as a common product that regularly comes up during the investigation. We will continue to provide updates as we learn more.”\n\n\n\nThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it is investigating a cluster of cases in four Midwest states as part of the major outbreak spreading across the U.S. that has left them “concerned.”\n\n\n\nAccording to the CDC, cases in Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and West Virginia are being investigated together as part of a multi-state cluster.\n\n\n\n“Public health officials are interviewing people linked to this outbreak to find out what foods they ate before getting sick,” the CDC said in an alert Tuesday. “A specific food item has not yet been confirmed as the source. Investigators are collecting as much information as they can to solve this outbreak.” \n\n\n\nAs of July 13, more than 400 people infected with cyclospora have been reported to CDC from those locations, with additional cases under investigation. \n\n\n\nThose sickened all reported experiencing symptoms on or after June 22.\n\n\n\n“The true number of sick people in this multistate outbreak is likely higher than the number reported, and the outbreak may not be limited to the states with known illnesses,” the CDC noted. “This is because some people recover without medical care and are not tested for Cyclospora. In addition, recent illnesses may not yet be reported as it can take several weeks to determine if a sick person is part of an outbreak.”\n\n\n\nThe link between the states remains unclear, but officials said the “investigation is showing a likely common source.”\n\n\n\nGwen Biggerstaff, deputy director of the CDC’s Division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases, noted, however, that “there are a lot of cases that are not accounted for as part of that multistate outbreak and there are a number of investigations that are going on.”\n\n\n\n“This is much, much higher than what we’ve seen last year or the year before,” she said. “This is a pretty big shift from what we’ve seen in previous seasons.”\n\n\n\nAcross the U.S., the CDC said 1,645 cases were confirmed to have been acquired domestically since May, 1 with at least 141 hospitalized as of July 13. Those sickened ranged in ages from 2 to 95 years old, data showed, with cases confirmed in at least 34 states. \n\n\n\nKentucky officials confirmed a larger-than-typically increase in cases, reaching 100 reports, but only 55 confirmed so far. That’s compared to the average of 35 cases reported each year in the state.\n\n\n\nAnother Midwest state, Illinois, has reported several new infections in recent days as health officials investigate a potential source for the outbreak known for causing “explosive” diarrhea.\n\n\n\nAccording to numbers released by the Illinois Department of Public Health Tuesday, the state has recorded at least 216 cases of the parasitic infection so far. Of those, 18 were hospitalized, health officials said. \n\n\n\nChicago made up as many as 50 of the reported cases, though three remain under investigation. \n\n\n\n“At this time, no single source or cause of Chicago cases has been identified, and there is still no evidence of a large outbreak accounting for all or most of these Chicago cases,” the Chicago Department of Public Health said in a statement. \n\n\n\nThe numbers are some of the highest of the 34 states currently reporting cases, according to the CDC.\n\n\n\nKnown for causing watery diarrhea, nausea and stomach pains, cyclosporiasis is an infection caused by a parasite often linked to contaminated food and water.\n\n\n\nAnyone experiencing frequent, watery diarrhea is being urged to contact their healthcare provider and “specifically request testing for cyclospora as routine stool tests may miss the parasite,” health officials said.\n\n\n\nTreatment for confirmed infections will include antibiotics, but those who contract it should also be prepared to rest and drink fluids to maintain hydration.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/health/taco-bell-issues-statement-some-locations-pull-ingredients-over-cyclosporiasis-outbreak/4050012/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Alex Dvorak","publishDate":"2026-07-15T11:29:35.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F04%2FGettyImages-2254933616.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C675","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"taco-bell-issues-statement-some-locations-pull-ingredients-over-cyclosporiasis-outbreak"},{"id":"rzp3vq","title":"NBC's Clear The Shelters returns for 12th pet adoption and donation campaign","excerpt":"Who’s ready to clear those shelters?\n\n\n\nNBCUniversal Local‘s Clear The Shelters, an annual pet adoption and donation campaign, returns this summer for a 12th consecutive year.

John Cornyn, raised concerns that the Trump administration has yet to commit in writing that the fund is dead and that it could therefore conceivably be resurrected.\n\n\n\n“Just to be clear, the president of the United States, who’s a plaintiff in this lawsuit, has not agreed in writing to delete the ‘Anti-Weaponization Fund’ and there’s no guarantee that he won’t raise it in the future?” Cornyn asked. Blanche replied that Trump has no power over the fund, which was to have been administered by the Justice Department but never launched.\n\n\n\nCornyn’s questions were closely watched since Blanche requires the backing of all Republicans on the Judiciary Committee and the Texas senator has not committed his support.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe hearing arrived at a tumultuous time for the Justice Department, with mass firings and resignations hollowing out the workforce and Democrats and other critics raising alarms that Blanche is still functioning as the president’s personal lawyer.\n\n\n\nHe has led the department on an interim basis since April, functioning as the public face of the maligned and later-withdrawn fund and accelerating investigations into perceived Trump adversaries. Even as he said the fund had been shelved, he made clear that immunity from tax audits afforded to Trump this year remained in place.\n\n\n\nThose actions, along with the flawed release of files from the Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking investigation, received fresh scrutiny Wednesday as Blanche testified for the opportunity to serve out the duration of Trump’s term.\n\n\n\n“You’re in charge of a Department of Justice I don’t recognize, prosecuting the president’s political enemies, firing rank and file prosecutors and FBI agents,” Democratic Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware told Blanche. “These are some actions that in your previous confirmation hearing before us, you said you would not take.”\n\n\n\nBlanche, for his part, insisted that he has presided over a course correction at the department following investigations into Trump during the Biden administration.\n\n\n\n“In recent years, we watched the Justice Department turned against many of you and a former president, and it damaged the public’s faith in justice,” Blanche argued. “We are fixing that.”\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDepartment of Justice\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 4\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump says he'll nominate acting AG Todd Blanche as permanent attorney general\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCongress\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMay 22\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTed Cruz says GOP senators were ‘screaming' at Todd Blanche during ‘anti-weaponization' fund briefing\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCapitol Riot\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMay 19\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTodd Blanche doesn't rule out violent Jan. 6 rioters getting payments from $1.8B fund\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nBlanche will need the support of each Republican on the panel\n\n\n\nKey to Blanche’s confirmation are Cornyn of Texas, who in May lost his primary, and Sen. Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican who has opted not to seek reelection. Entering the final stretches of their Senate career, both men are seen as more likely than before to split from Trump and both have been outspoken critics of the fund the Trump administration created to compensate people who feel unjustly persecuted by the criminal justice system, and then quickly withdrew.\n\n\n\nAfter questioning Blanche about the fund, Cornyn told CNN he continues “to have some concerns” and is not “going to make any decisions at this point.” Tillis, meanwhile, indicated during questioning that he is likely to support Blanche, even as he said he wanted “to stick a fork in this turkey of a 1776 fund.”\n\n\n\nWith the death of South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, who was a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, there are 11 Republicans and 10 Democrats on the panel. If even one Republican on the committee votes against Blanche, it could scuttle his nomination.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBlanche insists that the fund is dead. Lawmakers aren’t so sure\n\n\n\nThe “Anti-Weaponization Fund” emerged as part of a settlement of Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over his leaked tax returns.\n\n\n\nBlanche initially defended the fund during congressional appearances only to reveal later that it was being scrapped, a retreat that followed fierce bipartisan backlash that flared during a tense closed-door meeting he had with lawmakers.\n\n\n\nThe judge who presided over the case said in a scathing ruling Monday that Trump and his lawyers had manipulated the court system through the lawsuit and subsequent settled. The judge, Kathleen Williams, said Monday she was troubled by Blanche’s involvement in the settlement given that he previously represented Trump and sent a copy of her ruling to the New York Bar Association, where an investigation is pending.\n\n\n\n“I very much disagree with the judge’s insinuations about me, and we’re going to do what we can to make that right,” Blanche said.\n\n\n\nBlanche also defended a separate element of the settlement that afforded Trump and members of his family protection from tax audits and that, he has said, remains on track despite outrage over it even from Republicans. He denied that it placed Trump above the law.\n\n\n\n“Nobody is above the law,” Blanche said. Such a settlement “doesn’t make any of those individuals above the law.”\n\n\n\n\n\nEpstein files are also under scrutiny\n\n\n\nOther testimony focused on Blanche’s handling of the Epstein files, especially after his predecessor Pam Bondi told lawmakers behind closed doors after her ouster as attorney general that Blanche was the department’s point person on the release of documents from the sex trafficking case into the late financier.\n\n\n\nThe staggered release, mandated by an act of Congress, was beset by problems, including redaction errors that left exposed nude photos showing the faces of potential victims. Some names, email addresses and other identifying information were either unredacted or not fully obscured. About 1% of the records had redactions that needed to be fixed, he said.\n\n\n\nBlanche said while “mistakes were made,” the disclosure of the documents was an exercise in unprecedented transparency, although the Justice Department only released additional files after Trump bowed to bipartisan pressure to sign a law forcing the department to do so.\n\n\n\n“I want to make sure that the American people know that this administration, when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, has been more transparent than any administration,” he said.\n\n\n\n\n\nA former federal prosecutor and key member of Trump’s defense team as the Republican battled four indictments, Blanche arrived at the Justice Department last year as deputy attorney general. At one point, under friendly questioning from Republican Sen. John Kennedy about whether he and Trump are friends, Blanche responded: “I’m his lawyer,” before quickly correcting himself to say he “was his lawyer.”\n\n\n\nHe ascended to the top job in April after Trump ousted Bondi, who had frustrated the White House by struggling to bring successful cases against Trump’s political opponents. Blanche has tried to satisfy Trump in that regard, including with an indictment of ex-FBI Director James Comey, another Trump adversary, on charges of threatening the 47th president by posting a social media photograph of seashells in the numerical arrangement of “86 47.”\n\n\n\nComey has said the numbers were not a call to violence.\n\n\n\nBlanche was also pressed on Jan. 6 violence\n\n\n\nTillis, who has said he would not support for attorney general anyone who equivocates on the events of Jan. 6, 2021, when pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol, denounced the Biden administration Justice Department for what he said were excessive prosecutions and punishments.\n\n\n\nDemocrats, meanwhile, pressed Blanche on the violence and Trump’s sweeping clemency action benefiting more than 1,500 people, including those convicted of violently attacking police.\n\n\n\nDemocratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse criticized Blanche for comments at a political conference this year where he appeared to characterize the Jan. 6 pardons as an administration accomplishment. Blanche replied that he has “never said that any sort of violence against law enforcement is appropriate.”\n\n\n\n“He has the absolute right to pardon anybody for any reason he sees fit,” Blanche said of the president. “I am not celebrating that. It is a fact.”\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nAssociated Press writers Meg Kinnard and Michael Kunzelman contributed to this report.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/todd-blanche-justice-department-senate-confirmation-hearing/4049862/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Eric Tucker and Alanna Durkin Richer | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-15T10:43:48.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FBlancheFaces-Senate-Test-Amid-Harsh-Criticism-From-2285592749-Getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4000%2C2667","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"todd-blanche-pressed-about-fund-and-epstein-files-at-senate-confirmation-hearing"},{"id":"7cf2iq","title":"20 National Hot Dog Day deals that are frankly delicious","excerpt":"Hot diggity dog!\n\n\n\nNational Hot Dog Day is here, and hot dog lovers everywhere are ready to fire up the grill and celebrate the annual mustard-topped holiday.\n\n\n\nWhether you like to load your hot dog up with condiments and toppings (dragged through the garden, perhaps?) or prefer a more toned-do...","content":"Hot diggity dog!\n\n\n\nNational Hot Dog Day is here, and hot dog lovers everywhere are ready to fire up the grill and celebrate the annual mustard-topped holiday.\n\n\n\nWhether you like to load your hot dog up with condiments and toppings (dragged through the garden, perhaps?) or prefer a more toned-down frank, we can all agree that hot dogs are a summer staple that can be enjoyed in numerous ways.\n\n\n\nOn Wednesday, July 15, many restaurants and retailers are making it easier to mark National Hot Dog Day with freebies and discounts galore.

Many Democrats remain divided on Biden’s legacy and his ill-fated determination to seek a second term in the White House, and leaders hope to keep the fall campaign focused on the record of Republican President Donald Trump.\n\n\n\n“’Promise Me, America’ is about the challenges we faced as a nation. It’s about the decisions I made and why I made them,” Biden said in a video statement accompanying Wednesday’s announcement. “Most of all, it’s about my faith in the promise of America.”\n\n\n\nReports of Biden’s book have circulated for more than a year, and the former president himself has referred to it during public remarks, appearing to suggest it would be released before November’s election. \n\n\n\nBiden, who will turn 84 three days after the publication of “Promise Me, America,” has long presented himself as an upholder of standards and traditions; presidential memoirs are one of them. With a handful of exceptions, modern presidents since Harry Truman in the 1950s have published books about their White House years. Little, Brown declined to release financial details for ”Promise Me, America,” although presidents have usually reached deals worth at least seven figures.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe book’s title echoes a 2017 memoir by Biden, “Promise Me, Dad,” which centered on the death of his son, Beau Biden.\n\n\n\nVowing as a candidate to “restore the soul” of his country, Biden was sworn into office in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters seeking to stop his certification as president. Biden’s term was defined by a wide range of conflicts and achievements, from his handling of wars in Ukraine and the Middle East to the passage of ambitious infrastructure and economic aid bills. But many readers will likely want to know more about his health while president, including the disastrous debate in June 2024 against Trump that led to his giving up his reelection bid. Then-Vice President Kamala Harris, who ran instead, lost decisively to Trump.\n\n\n\nFormer first lady Jill Biden wrote in her own book that her husband seemed so weak and disoriented during the debate that she feared he was having a stroke. In “View from the East Wing,” published in June, she noted that the White House had initially said he was suffering from a cold.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJill Biden\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 1\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJill Biden defends backing 2nd term for Joe Biden despite health concerns\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJoe Biden\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMar 31\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJoe and Jill Biden adopt a pair of black Lab-mix puppies named Boo and Scout\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\n“The biggest lesson for us, I think, was that if you don’t explain something well enough then the question won’t go away,” she wrote. “There was never a satisfying enough explanation offered for Joe’s debate performance, and a lot of people never got over it.”\n\n\n\nBiden was the oldest man to serve as president and his health was a source of speculation for much of his term; Biden and his White House advisers have faced intense criticism from Democrats and Republicans for allegedly concealing the extent of his problems. A notable book release from 2025, Jake Tapper’s and Alex Thompson’s “Original Sin,” was subtitled “President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.”\n\n\n\nThat year, Biden announced he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.\n\n\n\n\n\nBiden’s previous books also include “Promises to Keep,” a campaign work published to boost his run for president in 2008, when Barack Obama was the eventual nominee and Biden his running mate. ”Promise Me, America” comes out during a year when nonfiction sales have declined and few political books have caught on, although recent bestsellers have included Vice President JD Vance’s “Communion” and an inside account of Trump’s second term, by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, “Regime Change.”\n\n\n\nA Little, Brown spokesperson said that Biden plans to tour on behalf of the book and give interviews. In his video announcement, Biden said that many people had been asking him how he was doing.\n\n\n\n“I’ve been spending a lot of time with my family. I’m dealing with a cancer diagnosis, been getting treatment, and it’s going really well,” he said. “I want to thank all those who have offered their prayers and support and well-wishes.

This time, a 28-year-old man was killed after he was hit by a tractor trailer while running from immigration and other federal officers, authorities said.\n\n\n\nA senior DHS official with knowledge of the vehicle stop pause said ICE leadership was first made aware of Trump’s position on the policy by the Truth Social post. There had been no discussions at DHS, ICE or with the White House prior to Trump’s post, the senior DHS official said.\n\n\n\nNow, in a recent post on X replying to Trump’s post, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin says “Illegal aliens will be arrested and deported wherever they are.”\n\n\n\nThis all has renewed criticism of the agency’s enforcement tactics that were widely condemned last winter after the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minnesota.\n\n\n\nThere have been at least 10 deaths involving encounters with immigration agents since Trump launched his deportation campaign. At least four of those deaths involved people in vehicles, including the one last week in Houston, a trend so troubling that U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said Tuesday that she had urged Mullin “to cease all non-urgent vehicle stops.”\n\n\n\nJohn Sandweg, who was acting director at ICE, which is part of DHS, during President Barack Obama’s Democratic administration, estimated recently that there have been roughly 18 traffic stop shootings during the Trump immigration crackdown.\n\n\n\nIt’s a narrative that has been repeated again and again since the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown began, with federal officers confronting drivers and then saying they opened fire when the drivers’ vehicles became a danger. That’s despite decades of warnings from policing experts that shooting into moving cars presents a danger of its own and should almost always be avoided.\n\n\n\nThe office of Maine Sen. Angus King, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, was told by DHS that ICE was suspending traffic stops, office spokesperson Matthew Felling said.\n\n\n\nICE, which has been under pressure to beef up arrest and deportation numbers, often says people it’s trying to arrest are increasingly resistant to leaving their homes. ICE officers blame immigration advocates who advise immigrants to stay in their homes unless ICE produces a warrant signed by an independent judge instead of the administrative warrants the agency generally uses that are signed by another ICE officer. So, ICE officers say, they’re forced to find other areas in which to make arrests.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDeadly ICE shooting in Biddeford, Maine \n\n\n\nHundreds of people in Maine protested Tuesday over the fatal shooting of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a 25-year-old Colombian national. Advocacy groups said Guerrero, who had a wife and a young daughter, was authorized to work in the United States.\n\n\n\nDHS said Monday that an officer, “fearing for public safety,” shot and killed Durán Guerrero while officers were watching the home of someone they believed was in the U.S. illegally and facing a final order of removal from the country. It said in a post on X that when ICE tried to stop a car driven by someone who came from the home, the person attempted to flee in the vehicle and the officer fired.\n\n\n\nThat was a shift from how Maine U.S. Sen. Angus King earlier described the encounter, when he said Mullin told him the officer opened fire after the man tried to use his vehicle as a weapon against ICE agents in Biddeford, a coastal city roughly 15 miles southwest of Portland. The agents involved didn’t have body cameras, he said. \n\n\n\nKing, an independent, said Mullin also told him the officers were in Biddeford to serve an arrest warrant but that it was not for the person who was shot. King said Mullin told him that earlier information that the man was the target of an enforcement action was incorrect.\n\n\n\nDHS did not immediately respond to an email seeking clarity on what led to the shooting.\n\n\n\nIn a scathing post on X, outgoing Colombian President Gustavo Petro called the shooting a targeted killing “at the hands of the U.S. government.”\n\n\n\nPetro, who has openly quarreled with Trump, urged Trump to provide an explanation and accused ICE officers of treating Durán Guerrero as “an inferior being without rights.” \n\n\n\nThe Colombian Embassy said it was in contact with U.S. authorities about the Colombian national’s death and “is providing the necessary consular assistance to his family.”\n\n\n\nIn Wednesday’s social media post, Trump told ICE to be “judicious, fair and smart, and go back and do your very important job.”\n\n\n\nMaine’s congressional delegation on Tuesday demanded a “comprehensive, transparent, and expedited investigation.”\n\n\n\n\n\nCollins said Mullin told her the Homeland Security Department’s Office of Inspector General is investigating in cooperation with the FBI.\n\n\n\nMessages seeking comment were left for the inspector general’s office and the Maine Department of Public Safety.\n\n\n\nThe Maine attorney general’s office, which is also investigating, said initial statements suggest the motorist was trying to flee in the direction of the agent. The office said the agent who killed him has been placed on leave.\n\n\n\nJanet Mills says it’s time to fundamentally reform ICE — or abolish it\n\n\n\nIn the wake of the shooting, Maine Gov. Janet Mills sent a letter to the state’s congressional delegation Wednesday morning calling on them to immediately take action to reform and rein in ICE.\n\n\n\n“Before more families are robbed of a loved one, this violence has to end. Before one more community is robbed of its peace and security, this has to end,” Mills wrote in her letter. “Before more gunshots shatter another windshield, steal another person’s life and fracture the freedom of all who seek peace, this has to end. Before the fragile American dream memorialized on hopeful parchment two and a half centuries ago is altogether abandoned, this has to end.”\n\n\n\n“ICE needs to be fundamentally reformed, and if not, then it is time to abolish it,” she added.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWitness says he heard driver say, ‘I tried to stop’\n\n\n\nDaniel Boucher said he looked out his third-floor window after hearing a “pop, pop, pop” sound and saw a small car “turned 90 degrees to the curb” with an SUV behind it. The driver was wounded and the car started moving down the street until the SUV hit it, Boucher said.\n\n\n\n“His face was bloody. His head was bloody,” Boucher said, getting choked up. “I clearly heard the victim say, ‘I tried to stop.’”\n\n\n\nBoucher said he saw an ICE officer bring a medical bag to where the man was lying before an ambulance and fire truck arrived. At one point, Boucher said, the agent who shot the man walked close to him.\n\n\n\n“I was emotional and I just let him have it, and he looked at me and said, ‘He tried to run me over,’ or something to that effect,” Boucher said. “I don’t remember his exact words.”\n\n\n\nVideo from a security camera at a nearby business, obtained by the AP, shows a white vehicle approaching an intersection at a modest speed before making several slow circles. A law enforcement SUV blocked its path and two officers opened the driver’s door and dragged out a limp body.\n\n\n\nIt was not clear from the video at what point shots were fired.\n\n\n\nThe man was authorized to work in the U.S., advocates say\n\n\n\nTwo advocacy groups — the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition and Presente! — said the man who was killed was authorized to work in the U.S.\n\n\n\nAfter the shooting, his family contacted the Immigrants’ Rights Coalition, but they weren’t ready to speak publicly about the shooting, said the group’s executive director, Mufalo Chitam.\n\n\n\nMary Hayes, who lives close to where the shooting happened, said the man lived nearby with his wife and daughter.\n\n\n\n“I watched a wife fall to her knees looking at her husband’s dead body on the ground,” Hayes told the AP as she held a piece of cardboard with “No ICE Stop ICE” written on it. “I watched a little girl crying with a little pink backpack on because she’s never going to see her father again.”\n\n\n\n\n\nSadie Dilboy said the man killed in the shooting regularly came to her laundromat and would bring his daughter, who he’d give quarters to buy candy from the vending machine.\n\n\n\n“He was such a good person,” she said. “He was always cleaning up.”\n\n\n\nAnti-ICE protesters gather near the scene in Biddeford\n\n\n\nSeveral hundred demonstrators gathered in Biddeford on Monday night to wave anti-ICE signs and call for the agency to be abolished.\n\n\n\n“We will always be a city of immigrants,” said Maine Speaker of the House Ryan Fecteau, a Democrat from Biddeford.\n\n\n\nA handful of pro-ICE and pro-Trump protesters demonstrated across the street.\n\n\n\nSome demonstrators had gathered in the city within hours of the shooting. Amy Goodman arrived with a sign that said “Stop Killing Us” and directed it toward police working at the scene.\n\n\n\n“Sadly, it’s something we’re seeing a whole lot more often lately, and I’m mad about it,” she said.\n\n\n\n\n\nHundreds of protesters also gathered Tuesday outside an ICE detention center in Scarborough, just up the coast between Biddeford and Portland.\n\n\n\n“These people are killers and they must leave our state now,” organizer Todd Chretien told the crowd.\n\n\n\nProtest in Boston after Maine shooting\n\n\n\nDozens gathered Tuesday night on the steps of the Boston Public Library, similarly rallying against ICE following the deadly shooting in Maine.\n\n\n\n“We are here to say that we absolutely will not stand for this, and that all of Boston and all of Massachusetts stands against ICE terror.”\n\n\n\nThe protesters condemned ICE’s actions and called for change.\n\n\n\nEarlier in the day, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said she was “sick to her stomach” about the shooting, and called for an investigation.\n\n\n\n“I spoke to Governor Mills yesterday and last evening,” Healey said. “This has got to end.” \n\n\n\nHealey’s comments on Tuesday echoed those she made after ICE agents shot and killed Good and Pretti in Minnesota earlier this year. \n\n\n\n“I’ve said this for a long time, ICE and Trump — they need to call ICE back,” the governor said Tuesday. “What is happening is so, it’s so predictable. You’ve got people out there not trained, not wearing body cameras. They’re going after individuals, we’ve seen time and time again, they shouldn’t be going after.”\n\n\n\nShe reiterated that as the state’s former attorney general, she used to work with federal agencies including ICE, but drew a distinction between “put[ting] away bad guys” and “what is happening right now.” \n\n\n\n“How is it that you have an individual shot dead in that manner, in front of his wife, his child, and all ICE can say is, ‘Sorry, we got the wrong guy.’ That’s not good law enforcement, folks. It’s shameful, and it needs to stop,” she said.\n\n\n\nA recent uptick in Trump’s immigration crackdown\n\n\n\nOn July 7, an ICE officer fatally shot 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, of Houston, after federal agents driving unmarked vehicles pursued him while he was taking his construction crew to a job site.\n\n\n\nThe shootings come amid a Trump administration push to carry out its mass deportations agenda. During the five-day period at the end of June, ICE arrested more than 10,000 people.\n\n\n\nThe figures indicate that while the administration is no longer cracking down on individual cities, the arrests are surging. The administration’s enforcement efforts were widely condemned last winter after the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minnesota.\n\n\n\nHundreds of Maine ICE arrests since Trump’s return\n\n\n\nICE had a significant presence in Maine earlier this year, which prompted several protests. Immigration officials later said in late January that they had ceased “enhanced operations” in Maine after hundreds of arrests.\n\n\n\nA Homeland Security spokesperson said at the time that some Maine arrests were of people “convicted of horrific crimes” including aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child.\n\n\n\nCourt records show that while some had felony convictions, others had unresolved immigration proceedings or had been arrested but never convicted of a crime.\n\n\n\nICE arrested 546 people in Maine between the start of Trump’s second term and March 11, 2026, the most recent data available, according to ICE arrest data provided to the University of California, Berkeley Deportation Data Project and analyzed by the AP.\n\n\n\nAbout 45% of arrested people had criminal backgrounds. During the equivalent 416-day period before Trump took office, roughly 69% of those arrested had criminal backgrounds, the data shows. \n\n\n\nTrump administration orders ICE to suspend most vehicle stops after deadly shootings\n\n\n\nOn Tuesday, people familiar with the decision said Trump administration officials told ICE to suspend most vehicle stops after two deadly shootings within a week.\n\n\n\nThe policy change came after the ICE shootings in Maine and Houston. \n\n\n\nThe suspension of vehicle stops allows room for exceptions when executing a criminal warrant or working with partner agencies, according to a person who spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive law enforcement operations. Matthew Felling, a spokesperson for Maine Sen. Angus King, said the senator’s office was also told by the Department of Homeland Security that ICE was suspending stops.\n\n\n\nQuestions surround the shooting in Maine\n\n\n\nDurán Guerrero’s shooting marked at least the ninth time ICE has used deadly force since Trump began his immigration crackdown.\n\n\n\nPhotos showed bullet holes in Durán Guerrero’s car windshield, but the officers involved in the shooting didn’t have body cameras, leaving many questions. Among them are how close the officer was to the vehicle when they fired, whether officers told Durán Guerrero to stop, and why ICE believes he had put the public in danger.\n\n\n\n“We are always evaluating our procedures to keep our officers safe and criminals off our streets. We will not disclose or discuss law enforcement tactics,” an ICE spokesperson said in a statement.\n\n\n\nIn a scathing post on X, outgoing Colombian President Gustavo Petro called the shooting a targeted killing “at the hands of the U.S. government.”\n\n\n\nPetro, who has openly quarreled with Trump, urged Trump to provide an explanation and accused ICE officers of treating Durán Guerrero as “an inferior being without rights.”\n\n\n\nMaine’s congressional delegation on Tuesday demanded a “comprehensive, transparent and expedited investigation.”\n\n\n\n\n\nBorder Czar Tom Homan told reporters Tuesday that the investigation needs to play out.\n\n\n\n“If officers acted inappropriately or illegally, they’ll be held accountable,” he said.\n\n\n\nMaine’s attorney general’s office, which noted that it’s working with federal agencies to investigate, said initial statements suggest the driver was trying to flee in the direction of the officer, whose name hasn’t been released and who was placed on leave.\n\n\n\nThe state’s other senator, Republican Susan Collins, said Mullin told her that DHS’ Office of Inspector General is investigating in cooperation with the FBI.\n\n\n\nDemocrats seeking to unseat Collins in November sought Tuesday to connect her with ICE’s methods, which have drawn public scrutiny and derision. Collins later said in a statement that although ICE needs to improve, eliminating the agency would make the nation less safe.\n\n\n\nMaine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, who is vying for Collins’ seat, called the ICE officers at the shooting “thugs” during a vigil Tuesday evening in Lewiston.\n\n\n\n“That agency is broken and we need to go back to a time where the rule of law united all of us regardless of the politics,” she told the crowd.\n\n\n\nVideo shows the Maine shooting’s aftermath\n\n\n\nAccording to neighbors and public records, Guerrero lived in an apartment about 150 feet (46 meters) from where his car came to a rest outside an apartment building across the street from a pawnshop and laundromat.\n\n\n\nVideo from a nearby business’ security camera obtained by the AP shows a white car slowly approaching an intersection before making several circles. A law enforcement SUV blocks its path and two officers open the driver’s door and drag out a limp body.\n\n\n\nIt isn’t clear from the video when the shots were fired.\n\n\n\nDaniel Boucher said he heard a “pop, pop, pop” and ran to the intersection.\n\n\n\n“His face was bloody. His head was bloody,” Boucher said. “I clearly heard the victim say, ‘I tried to stop.’”\n\n\n\n\n\nBoucher said the officer who shot Durán Guerrero walked close to him.\n\n\n\n“He looked at me and said, ‘He tried to run me over,’ or something to that effect,” Boucher said. “I don’t remember his exact words.”\n\n\n\nDurán Guerrero is survived by his wife and young daughter\n\n\n\nNeighbors say Durán Guerrero was a friendly and familiar face even though they rarely chatted because he didn’t appear to speak English.\n\n\n\nClaudia Morton, who often waved to Durán Guerrero, was distraught.\n\n\n\n“The whole world should be crying,” she said.\n\n\n\nDozens of Durán Guerrero’s relatives and neighbors gathered in Bucaramanga, his hometown in northeastern Colombia, to remember him on Tuesday. They stood outside his parents’ home, holding candles around a table where a photograph of him rested beside a statue of the Virgin Mary.\n\n\n\nNBC10 Boston and the State House News Service contributed to this report\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tMore on the deadly ICE shooting in Maine\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImmigration\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 14\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump administration orders ICE to suspend most vehicle stops after deadly shootings","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/ice-traffic-stops-trump-recent-shootings-biddeford-maine-latest/4049804/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-15T07:10:47.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FUSATSI_29380471.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1616%2C1080","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"trump-says-ice-should-continue-traffic-stops-after-recent-fatal-shootings"},{"id":"guj2xp","title":"Iran threatens to halt all Mideast energy exports after U.S. reimposes blockade","excerpt":"The U.S. reimposed a naval blockade on Iran and intensified its airstrike campaign Wednesday in retaliation for Tehran’s attacks on ships trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

The American strikes hit an Iranian army barracks, killed at least seven troops and wounded more than 260 people across the country, Iranian officials said.\n\n\n\nDays of back-and-forth strikes by the U.S. and Iran across the Middle East — and renewed threats to the waterway crucial to global energy supplies — have shredded the interim deal to end the conflict and the region could tip back into all-out war.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. first imposed a blockade in April and then lifted it last month after signing the interim deal that paused the fighting and set a 60-day period for negotiations over issues such as Iran’s nuclear program. Those talks have stalled as fighting over the Strait of Hormuz has intensified.\n\n\n\nWhen the U.S. and Israel launched the war on Iran on Feb. 28, Tehran effectively closed the waterway to shipping traffic — a move that sent the price of oil, fertilizer and many other goods soaring far beyond the region and gave Iran major leverage in negotiations. Those rising prices pose a particular challenge to U.S. President Donald Trump and his Republican Party, which hopes to retain control of Congress in elections in November. But Washington has struggled to successfully reopen the waterway.\n\n\n\nIran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard threatened Wednesday to halt all energy exports from the Middle East over the blockade.\n\n\n\n“The export of oil and gas from the region will be either for everyone or for no one,” it said.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEconomy\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 14\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFalling gas prices cut inflation in June, but renewal of Iran war could limit progress\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImmigration\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 7\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tU.S. illegally shared confidential info on asylum seekers with Iran, lawsuit alleges\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nBoth U.S. and Iran launched attacks as blockade reimposed\n\n\n\nThe U.S. carried out another wave of strikes as it reimposed the blockade, striking dozens of targets over seven hours, the U.S. military’s Central Command said Wednesday. \n\n\n\nWithin 17 hours of reimposing the blockade on Iranian ports, Central Command said U.S. forces had “redirected” two commercial vessels attempting to run the blockade.\n\n\n\n“The U.S. military remains vigilant and prepared to ensure full compliance,” it said on social media.\n\n\n\nAmong the U.S. military’s targets was Greater Tunb Island, which is viewed as a strategic point in the Strait of Hormuz. Central Command said the attack targeted Iranian defense and missile sites.\n\n\n\nIran took control of three islands — Abu Musa, Greater Tunb and Lesser Tunb — from what would become the United Arab Emirates in 1971. The UAE has sought to reclaim them.\n\n\n\nSome analysts have suggested that if the U.S. seized the islands, they could allow it to control the strait.\n\n\n\nAnother strike targeted a barracks for Iran’s 388th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, which operates tanks and armored vehicles, in Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iranian state television reported. The report said the Americans fired at least 13 missiles in the attack and that the seven dead included conscripts and career soldiers. A number of troops were wounded.\n\n\n\nIncluding those at the barracks, more than 30 people have been killed in recent days, Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani said, without elaborating.\n\n\n\nHossein Kermanpour, a spokesperson for the Health Ministry, meanwhile, said over 260 people were wounded in overnight strikes alone — a figure far larger than for any other round of recent violence between Iran and the U.S. He did not say how many people were killed overnight.\n\n\n\nThe army said it would make “a decisive response to this aggressive action by the American enemy,” according to state TV.\n\n\n\nMissile alert warnings sounded in Bahrain and Kuwait early Wednesday as they faced incoming Iranian fire — a daily occurrence in recent days. Jordan said it shot down three incoming Iranian missiles. Iran claimed attacks on the three nations, all of which host U.S. forces.\n\n\n\nU.S. Navy Adm. Brad Cooper, who leads Central Command, said in a statement that Iran had launched dozens of missiles and drones at neighboring Gulf Arab countries.\n\n\n\nTrump told the Fox News Channel on Tuesday night that more U.S. strikes against Iran would come over the next two days and that bridges and power plants could be targeted by next week unless negotiations resume. Already, the U.S. has struck at least one bridge.\n\n\n\n“You better make a deal, or you’re not going to have anything left,” Trump warned.\n\n\n\nIran’s ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, criticized America’s attacks.\n\n\n\n“The U.S. is the aggressor, not the victim,” he wrote to the world body’s leader, according to the state-run IRNA news agency.\n\n\n\nThe Strait of Hormuz remains at the heart of the fighting\n\n\n\nThe latest round of fighting is focused on the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas trade passes during peacetime. How to reopen the strait has bedeviled the U.S. since Iran choked it off in the early days of the war.\n\n\n\nDuring the interim deal, some ships began moving through the passage using a route near Oman overseen by the U.S. military that is outside Tehran’s control.\n\n\n\nIn recent days, Iran attacked ships using that route — and back-and-forth attacks ensued. The U.S. has threatened to reopen the strait by force — but experts say that would require a much bigger armada if not tens of thousands of ground troops. Imposing the blockade is another way to put pressure on Iran.\n\n\n\nBut in the meantime, oil prices are rising. The price for Brent crude oil, the international standard, traded above $85 a barrel on Wednesday — more than 15% higher than the price before the war, but still well below the nearly $120 reached at the height of the conflict.\n\n\n\nAnalysts with the International Monetary Fund warned Wednesday that while a surplus of oil had kept prices low, “much of that room has now been used up.”\n\n\n\n“As tensions flare again in the Strait of Hormuz, that room is now smaller and shrinking further as spare capacity has been deployed, demand has compressed, and inventories have been drawn down,” Azim Sadikov and Jean-Marc Natal wrote in a blog post. “Unless inventories are replenished, the world will start from a weaker position when the next shock comes.”\n\n\n\nRegional mediators are still trying to get the United States and Iran back to the negotiating table.\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nAssociated Press writer Nasser Karimi in Tehran, Iran, contributed to this report.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/iran-threatens-halt-mideast-energy-exports-us-reimposes-blockade/4049724/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Jon Gambrell | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-15T02:56:39.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26195650192044.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5111%2C3408","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"iran-threatens-to-halt-all-mideast-energy-exports-after-us-reimposes-blockade"},{"id":"962x1d","title":"What's the ‘POWER' training method?

This macronutrient supports muscle growth and the immune system. It also keeps you feeling full for longer and helps with tissue repair, TODAY.com previously reported.\n\n\n\nO: Overload, progressive overload, to be exact. This is the process of gradually increasing your weight and/or repetitions. “If you’re doing a set of 10 and you can do another 10 immediately after that, the weight is too light,” he said. That’s how you’ll know it’s time to take it up a notch.\n\n\n\nW: Workout and when you schedule it. Herrera recommends twice per week if you’re looking to maintain your muscle and up to four times per week if you’re looking to build muscle.\n\n\n\nE: Energy. In addition to protein, says Herrera, a balanced and nutrient-dense diet filled with healthy fats, carbs and fiber will keep you going until the last set.\n\n\n\nR: Recovery. Muscle building also happens when you leave the gym, says Herrera. On recovery days, try walking, jogging, cycling or swimming, and prioritize protein and carbs to help your muscles heal and grow.\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy it matters\n\n\n\nBuilding muscle is essential to healthy aging. “You’re more coordinated, you’re stronger to do your activities of daily living (and it) decreases falls,” Herrera said. It can also ward off osteoporosis and improve bone density.\n\n\n\nExercise also sends blood to the brain, which releases endorphins and boosts mental health. Plus, you’ll see an improvement in your metabolic rate, building muscle improves insulin resistance, says Herrera. This reduces your risk of Type 2 diabetes, and you’ll find that, with more muscle, you’ll burn more calories at rest.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHealth & Wellness\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tApr 5\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf you're strength-training and middle-aged, this is how heavy your weights should be\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHealth & Wellness\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 14\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHow often should you strength train to lower heart disease risk?

The AL won for the 18th time in 23 games and holds a 49-45-2 advantage overall.\n\n\n\nSingles by Juan Soto in the fourth, Pete Crow-Armstrong in the eighth and Otto Lopez in the ninth were the only hits by the NL, which failed to advance a runner past first.\n\n\n\nPitchers combined for 27 strikeouts, 15 by AL hurlers.\n\n\n\n\n\nCease struck out Kyle Schwarber, Soto and CJ Abrams around a walk in the first inning. He became just the seventh pitcher to strike out three in an All-Star opening inning after Carl Hubbell (1934), Warren Spahn (1949), Jim Palmer (1977), Dave Stieb (1983), Pedro Martinez (1999) and Brad Penny (2006) — four of them Hall of Famers.\n\n\n\nParker Messick, Michael Wacha, Joe Ryan, Nick Martinez, Cade Smith, Drew Rasmussen, Jacob Latz, Louis Varland, Aroldis Chapman and Bryan Baker finished the first All-Star shutout since the AL’s 2-0 win in 2013 at New York’s Citi Field.\n\n\n\nSome starting star power was missing, with Jacob Misoriowski, Paul Skenes and Shohei Ohtani all unavailable. Just six pitches reached 100 mph, the fewest in an All-Star Game since 2021.\n\n\n\nBellinger and Rice both singled on up sinkers from Sánchez, who struggled through a 34-pitch inning that included three hits and two walks.\n\n\n\n“It just took me a little time to soak it all in and enjoy it,” Sánchez said through a translator.\n\n\n\nMike Trout, a 12-time All-Star who hadn’t played in the game since 2019 because of injuries, went 0 for 3 with a strikeout.\n\n\n\n\n\nDocumenting the day\n\n\n\nManagers and starters entered through replica Liberty Bells in front of each dugout, walked to home plate and used a feathered quill to sign an oversized lineup card, as if they were Founding Fathers affixing names to the Declaration of Independence.

But it’s the referees who keep the matches on track.\n\n\n\nNBC 5 spent the day with Dallas-based Major League Soccer referee Lorenzo Hernandez to see what it takes to officiate at the highest levels of the sport. From sprint workouts at a Cedar Hill middle school track to strength training inside MENT Fitness, Hernandez’s full-time job is preparing to keep up with some of the world’s best athletes.\n\n\n\n“We gotta make sure we stay top tier in the physical realm so that we don’t lose our mental state whenever we’re in the game,” Hernandez said.\n\n\n\nHernandez started playing soccer when he was just four years old and continued through college. He started officiating as a teenager to make extra money and later decided to pursue officiating full-time.\n\n\n\n“I grew up playing since I was four,” Hernandez said. “I stopped playing around college just to take officiating more seriously. If you’re injured, you can’t referee.”\n\n\n\nHernandez and his brothers grew up watching their father referee, eventually following in his footsteps. After eight years of working his way through youth, amateur and professional matches, Hernandez is now one of only 30 senior match officials in Major League Soccer and the only one based in Dallas.\n\n\n\n“You’re really having to go all over the field, and your job is to make the decision as the head referee,” he said.\n\n\n\nWhen he’s not traveling across the country to officiate MLS matches, Hernandez can usually be found training in Cedar Hill.\n\n\n\nSome days he’s running laps, sprinting, and working on conditioning at the track. Other days, he is attending group classes at MENT Fitness, focusing on strength, agility, and recovery.\n\n\n\n“You have to sprint. You have to move laterally,” Hernandez said.\n\n\n\nHis training closely mirrors that of the players he officiates. His workouts, meals, sleep, and recovery are all tracked through wearable technology to make sure he’s physically and mentally prepared for every assignment.\n\n\n\nThe physical demands are only part of the job. Referees also carry a heavy mental load.\n\n\n\n“In a game, I would say we’re making hundreds and thousands of decisions,” Hernandez said. “A lot of it is very dynamic, but when it comes to making the decision, it’s trying to arrive so that you can be focused, composed.”\n\n\n\nHis commitment to his role is forever etched in ink. Hernandez has a tattoo of a field and the words “Law 5” a nod to his responsibilities as a match official.\n\n\n\n“Law 5 in the law book is where it describes what the referee does in the game,” he said. “You’re there to manage the game so that the game can flow, so it can be an enjoyable thing to watch. We want a safe game. We want to keep them injury-free if possible.”\n\n\n\nProfessional referees are also expected to remain completely impartial.\n\n\n\n“We’re compared to judges, police officers. We have to be very impartial,” Hernandez said.\n\n\n\nThat mindset even changes how he watches soccer. Hernandez says he doesn’t watch matches as a fan. But with the World Cup taking place in North Texas, he found himself enjoying the tournament from a different perspective, soaking up the energy, and cultural exchange and celebrations.\n\n\n\nHe isn’t calling any World Cup games, which means he’s had about a month off to train. If he does in the future, he wouldn’t be allowed to officiate games for teams from countries where he has personal ties, including the U.S. and Mexico. Which means this time, he had the rare opportunity to support a team without worrying about it impacting his credibility as a match official.\n\n\n\n“As someone born in the U.S. with a family of Mexican descent, I can say, ‘I’m supporting the United States, I’m supporting Mexico,’ ” Hernandez said. \n\n\n\nWatching several of his colleagues officiate World Cup matches has only strengthened his own ambitions.\n\n\n\nHe’s only in his second year as a tier one referee. But says he intends to keep training so he can continue living his dream for the next 20 years. His next goal is to become a FIFA referee and one day earn an assignment at the world’s biggest tournament.\n\n\n\nHernandez says one of the biggest impacts of the World Cup has been seeing more people become interested in the sport and ask questions about the rules, officiating, and how the game is managed. He hopes that curiosity continues long after the tournament ends.\n\n\n\nHe also shared a few fun facts about what it takes to keep up. \n\n\n\nReferees run an average of 6to 8 miles during a match and have every decision reviewed. Their performances are also graded to help determine future assignments.\n\n\n\nHe says they also wear fitness trackers and their bosses collect data to monitor workouts, recovery, sleep, and training load to help prevent injuries and prepare them for competition.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/one-of-the-youngest-major-league-soccer-referees-trains-in-north-texas/4049684/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Brittney Johnson","publishDate":"2026-07-14T21:48:04.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FLorenzo-Hernandez.png%3Ffit%3D859%2C483%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"one-of-the-youngest-major-league-soccer-referees-trains-in-north-texas"},{"id":"44zv90","title":"3 teens arrested after acid attack on 6 women in New Jersey","excerpt":"Three teens have been arrested in connection to an acid attack on six women in Jersey City last month, according to the Jersey City Department of Public Safety. \n\n\n\nThe women were splashed with sulfuric acid on June 15 when people on a moped targeted them in their car as they drove by,officials s...","content":"Three teens have been arrested in connection to an acid attack on six women in Jersey City last month, according to the Jersey City Department of Public Safety. \n\n\n\nThe women were splashed with sulfuric acid on June 15 when people on a moped targeted them in their car as they drove by,officials said.\n\n\n\n“All six victims were transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries that included skin burns and peeling,” department spokesperson Kim Wallace Scalcione said.\n\n\n\nThree teens, 13, 14 and 15 years old, were arrested in connection with the incident, Scalcione said, without providing a date of their arrests. \n\n\n\nThey each are accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon causing bodily injury and additional charges. \n\n\n\nThe Department of Public Safety says the incident appears to have been targeted and “may have stemmed from an earlier dispute among a large group.”\n\n\n\nThe department previously said that five women were injured in the attack, but clarified in an update that there are six victims, including three teens.\n\n\n\nOne of the victims, a 21-year-old woman, was taken to a burn unit last month “to be treated for second-degree burns to her face and scalp,” according to Scalcione.\n\n\n\nThe investigation is ongoing, officials said.\n\n\n\nEmma Caughlan contributed.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/teens-arrested-after-acid-attack-on-women-in-new-jersey/4049679/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Mirna Alsharif | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-14T21:29:54.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2022%2F01%2FGettyImages-1182075441.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2121%2C1414","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"3-teens-arrested-after-acid-attack-on-6-women-in-new-jersey"},{"id":"hrsf2u","title":"McDonald's introduces new Caesar sauce and menu items","excerpt":"McDonald’s is introducing a savory new Caesar sauce that’s ready to put a fresh — and garlicky — spin on some of the fast food chain’s popular menu items.\n\n\n\nThe limited-time McDonald’s Caesar Sauce arrives July 21 at participating restaurants across the country.\n\n\n\nThe sauce is a “creamy, garlic...","content":"McDonald’s is introducing a savory new Caesar sauce that’s ready to put a fresh — and garlicky — spin on some of the fast food chain’s popular menu items.\n\n\n\nThe limited-time McDonald’s Caesar Sauce arrives July 21 at participating restaurants across the country.\n\n\n\nThe sauce is a “creamy, garlicky parmesan blend infused with notes of lemon that’s giving fan-favorite chicken items a glow-up this summer,” according to McDonald’s.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe creamy new sauce is temporarily bringing a classic Caesar flavor to some of the chain’s most popular items.\n\n\n\n\nCaesar Snack Wrap: A McCrispy Strip that includes shredded cheese, shredded lettuce and Caesar Sauce, wrapped in a tortilla.

Didn’t know how much i needed this Caesar wrap til right now,” one wrote.\n\n\n\n“You have no idea how long I’ve needed a Caesar snack wrap,” another added.\n\n\n\nThe update also prompted some fans of Caesar dressing to demand McDonald’s bring back other long gone Caesar-related menu items.\n\n\n\nMany customers lamented the loss of the chain’s Caesar salads, which were discontinued in 2020.\n\n\n\n“To put on what?!” one emotional customer asked of the new Caesar sauce. “Salads still aren’t back 🙄😒.”\n\n\n\n“BRING BACK THE SALADS NOWWWWW,” another demanded.\n\n\n\nFor others, their memories went even further back to the chain’s early 2000s-era McSalad Shakers. The salad meals were served in a to-go cup that allowed customers to simply add dressing and enjoy.\n\n\n\nThe McSalad Shakers, they remembered all too well, included a Grilled Chicken Caesar option.\n\n\n\n“Just bring the shakable salads cups please 🙏 🙌” one begged.\n\n\n\nThough McDonald’s new Caesar sauce will be spicing up the menu for only a limited time, the chain recently brought back its famous Fried Apple Pie.

The speech comes as he’s escalated calls for Republicans to pass tighter federal voting rules for November’s midterm elections.\n\n\n\nThe Republican president has been guarded about what he plans to say in the 9 p.m. Thursday speech, scheduled as he confronts a collapsing deal to end the war with Iran. He also faces numerous domestic issues, including recent deadly shootings by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. Asked for a preview of the speech on Tuesday, Trump offered scant details but said he has “really big news.”\n\n\n\n“It doesn’t get bigger, because without free and fair elections, you don’t have a country,” Trump said in the Oval Office. He refused to go further, saying he wanted to “save it” for the moment, though he also hinted he would be talking about a hodgepodge of issues.\n\n\n\n“We’ll be discussing other things, too,” Trump said, without elaborating. “It’s going to be a very big announcement.”\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImmigration\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 14\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump administration orders ICE to suspend most vehicle stops after deadly shootings\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUtah\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 14\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump reduces size of 2 national monuments in Utah as Republicans reshape land management\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDonald Trump\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 13\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump's IRS lawsuit was filed for ‘improper purpose,' judge says in scathing ruling\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nTrump has used the power of the primetime presidential address — typically reserved for milestones — to deliver politically charged speeches before, including one in December when he sought to blame the challenging economic climate on Democrats. But Thursday’s address seems poised to go even further, using the moment to amplify election lies before an audience of millions in an effort to boost Republican prospects before midterms that threaten to hobble Trump for the remainder of his term.\n\n\n\nOn Monday, when asked about the speech, Trump repeated baseless claims of voter fraud in the Los Angeles primary race for mayor. During the interview with conservative outlet Newsmax, Trump said Republican Spencer Pratt lost his primary bid because of fraud, citing in part California’s slow vote count.\n\n\n\nFederal prosecutors said they were opening fraud investigations in the state last month after Trump drew attention to the claim.\n\n\n\nThe president’s preoccupation with voting fraud and election security dates back at least to 2016, when he refused to say whether he would accept defeat to Democrat Hillary Clinton. After he won, he convened a voting integrity commission to support his claims that widespread voter fraud cost him the popular vote, though the commission disbanded without uncovering any such evidence.\n\n\n\nFour years later, after he lost the 2020 election to Biden, Trump again claimed cheating and zeroed in on the Democrat’s narrow win in Georgia. Trump called the state’s secretary of state and pressured him to “find 11,780 votes,” just enough votes to overturn Biden’s victory in the state. He, along with than a dozen allies, was indicted in the state though the charges were later dropped.\n\n\n\nRepeated audits and reviews — many run by Republicans, including Trump’s own then-attorney general — have found no significant fraud occurred in 2020.\n\n\n\nBefore winning in 2024, Trump was again laying the groundwork to claim cheating if he lost. After returning to office, he stocked his administration with officials who back his false claims of 2020 election fraud.\n\n\n\nTrump made voting regulation central in this term\n\n\n\nFrequently declaring that he won the White House “three times,” Trump has made voting regulation a core issue during his second term, demanding legislation that would require voter ID and sharply limit mail-in voting. Facing midterm races that will decide control of Capitol Hill, Trump has stirred new claims to cast doubt on election results that could challenge his power in Washington.\n\n\n\nEarlier this year, FBI agents raided elections offices in Fulton County, Georgia, seizing materials from the 2020 election. Tulsi Gabbard, then Trump’s director of national intelligence, traveled to Atlanta to oversee the execution of the search warrant.\n\n\n\nMaryland Gov. Wes Moore, campaigning in Georgia for Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff and governor’s candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms, smiled Tuesday when asked about Trump potentially rehashing the 2020 election in his national address.\n\n\n\nHe called it a strategy “for losers.”\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tElections\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 10\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump ousts members of bipartisan federal election commission\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump administration\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 10\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump will let housing bill become law without signing in protest over GOP voter ID law\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\n“I think people are exhausted by having conversations about elections that happened six years ago, that we have the answer to,” Moore said. “He continues to bring this up because he cannot get out of his mind that he actually could have lost.”\n\n\n\nBeyond Georgia, Trump has widely taken aim at states that allow voters to submit ballots by mail. Trump said he called a U.S. attorney in California and demanded scrutiny of the governor’s primary last month as votes were being counted.\n\n\n\nLast week, Trump ousted the remaining members of the federal Election Assistance Commission, a bipartisan panel that resisted his efforts to require would-be voters to document their U.S. citizenship before registering.\n\n\n\n\n\nBarrow reported from Atlanta.

Three of the rescued passengers were taken to a local hospital in stable condition with injuries sustained from falling into the water. They were expected to be released Tuesday evening.\n\n\n\nThe victim who died was alive when rescue crews plucked him from the water but later succumbed. A dog onboard also died in the wreck. Authorities initially reported 19 people were onboard with two missing but updated the passenger total to 20 during an evening briefing.\n\n\n\nSan Francisco Fire Lt. Mariano Elias said the emergency call came in just after 3:30 p.m. reporting a vessel in distress about 600 yards from Alcatraz. The boating mishap was initially reported as a fire, but San Francisco Fire Chief Dean Crispen said there was no evidence of that, and no burn injuries were reported.\n\n\n\nFirst responders arrived to find the vessel mostly submerged, with the motor still running and leaking fuel. Crispen said the boat is believed to have launched near the St. Francis Yacht Club, though the club had no immediate information on the incident.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe ensuing search and rescue operation included divers, helicopters, 11 boats, jet skis and several private boaters.\n\n\n\n“Right now we are in full rescue mode,” Crispen said Tuesday night. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie called the massive, multi-agency response an “all-hands-on-deck search and hopefully rescue.”\n\n\n\nMike Montoya and Justin Marceline of the East Bay were on a nearby charter boat and jumped into action as the boat went down. They described a chaotic scene, with only the top deck visible above the water and passengers trapped inside a lower deck.\n\n\n\n“There was even people banging at the windows as they were like filing out, and as soon as people were hitting the water, we were just trying to pick them up as fast as we can,” they said. “Some people didn’t even have life vests on and they were drowning.”\n\n\n\nJames Smith of Berkeley, captain of the charter fishing boat California Dawn, spotted the overturned vessel shortly after passing under the Golden Gate Bridge and arrived just as Coast Guard rescuers got to the scene.\n\n\n\n“I’ve been a charter operator for 35-plus years, and it’s pretty horrific anytime you see an accident like this,” Smith said.\n\n\n\nLive video from the scene showed a man and a woman wrapped in blankets, sitting on a curb before walking to a nearby ambulance. Survivors were reunited with their families with assistance from the American Red Cross. Crispen noted that families were incredibly upset as they awaited news on the missing.\n\n\n\nMultiple agencies, including the Coast Guard, Oakland police, and the Richmond Police Department’s marine unit, assisted in the response.\n\n\n\n“The Richmond Police Department remains committed to supporting our partner agencies whenever called upon,” the department said in a statement. “Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones affected by this tragic incident.”\n\n\n\n“This is obviously a tragic situation,” San Francisco Supervisor Stephen Sherrill said. “Our thoughts are with the victims and their families.”\n\n\n\nStatement from the American Red Cross: \n\n\n\n“Our hearts go out to those impacted by the tragic boat incident near Alcatraz in San Francisco. The American Red Cross is working closely with emergency management, local officials and community partners to help ensure those involved receive the care and support they need. The Red Cross supported with immediate needs such as providing dry clothing, food, blankets, and comfort kits. Our Disaster Mental Health and Spiritual Care teams remain available to offer support and care to those affected. We remain committed to working alongside our partners to help meet evolving needs as recovery efforts continue.”\n\n\n\nAuthorities are expected to provide additional details Wednesday morning as the search mission continues.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat caused the 50-foot cabin cruiser to sink near Alcatraz?\n\n\n\nBoating experts are questioning what caused a three-level, 50-foot cabin cruiser carrying 20 people to sink near Alcatraz as first responders continue their search and rescue efforts.\n\n\n\nWhile the exact cause of the incident remains unknown, local boat operators have offered conflicting views on the water conditions in San Francisco Bay when the vessel overturned.\n\n\n\nSan Francisco Fire Chief Dean Crispen said witnesses described rough seas right before the boat capsized.\n\n\n\n“The reports we have from witnesses are that there were rough seas and apparently a vessel began to take on water and was turned over in the bay,” Crispen said.\n\n\n\nCharles Jennings, owner of the tour company Bay Voyager, noted that the bay’s waters are unforgiving and said the size of the vessel stood out to him.\n\n\n\n“I would be concerned to see a boat of that size out there with that many people in that wind out there,” Jennings said. “If I were to see a boat out there, I’d expect it to be a very hearty vessel or perhaps a good sailboat.”\n\n\n\nHowever, John McNamara, an operator with the Red and White Fleet who was on the bay Tuesday afternoon, said the conditions did not seem extreme and do not entirely explain what happened.\n\n\n\n“From spending as much time as I have in the San Francisco Bay, today was not a bad day to be boating,” McNamara said.\n\n\n\nMcNamara was nearby when the cabin cruiser went down and immediately prepared his crew to assist.\n\n\n\n“I directed my crew to put on the man overboard gear in case there were people I needed to pull out,” McNamara said. “As I got closer, I can see people on the water and stuck on the vessel.”\n\n\n\nA Coast Guard lieutenant stated that more information about the boat will be released as the situation evolves, but the current focus remains strictly on the search and rescue of the missing passengers.\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/50-foot-cabin-cruiser-capsizes-near-alcatraz/4049667/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Thom Jensen, Pete Suratos and Olga R.

The lawsuit filed late Monday in federal court in Oakland, California, claims the company used internal AI systems, keystroke and activity-monitoring data, AI token-usage dashboards and algorithmically assisted performance rankings, among other methods, to determine who would be laid off.\n\n\n\nMany of these scores and ratings “by design, cannot be accumulated by an employee who is on protected medical or family leave, or whose output is reduced by a disability,” the lawsuit says. Meta, according to the lawsuit, did not account for protected leave when taking employees’ scores into account and “did not pause the system for the individualized, leave- and accommodation-neutral review that the law requires.” \n\n\n\nAs a result, people on protected medical or family leave were disproportionately selected for layoffs, the lawsuit says. Each of the 26 anonymous employees in the lawsuit took protected leave and requested or received a reasonable accommodation for disability. Though they have been notified of their layoffs, all 26 remain employed by Meta, with separations set to begin July 22. \n\n\n\nMany workers were on parental leave\n\n\n\nMany of the employees in the lawsuit took pregnancy or parental leave, during which time they wouldn’t have worked and thus had their measured output reduced. Others took medical leave — one disclosed a “serious health condition and disability” that was approved by Meta’s own provider. But according to the lawsuit, he was “discouraged and deterred from taking that leave by a manager” who warned that doing so would result in his selection for the anticipated layoffs. Meta offered no accommodation for his disability, the lawsuit says. \n\n\n\nMeta said in a statement that the claims “lack merit and are not based on facts. Workforce management and organizational decisions were and are made by people, not AI.” \n\n\n\nAbout half the plaintiffs had taken leave for caregiving or pregnancy-related reasons. Eight are women who had taken maternity or pregnancy-related leave, four are men who had taken parental leave and one is a woman who had taken leave to care for a family member and later bereavement leave.\n\n\n\nThe lawsuit says the layoffs violated several state and federal laws, including the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act and the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.\n\n\n\nLawsuit cites ‘disparate impact’\n\n\n\nThe complaint also references “disparate impact liability,” a longstanding civil rights concept that President Donald Trump’s administration moved to abandon. Disparate impact, codified in Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, holds that facially neutral policies or practices can be discriminatory if they disproportionately burden a protected class of workers and aren’t necessary for the job.\n\n\n\nThe Trump administration has ordered federal agencies to deprioritize disparate impact liability enforcement, arguing that its use undermines “meritocracy” and encourages the assumption that any racial or gender imbalance in a workforce is the result of discrimination. The order has led the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to drop discrimination cases on behalf of some workers.\n\n\n\nHowever, the lawsuit against Meta underscores that companies remain vulnerable to disparate impact litigation in the age of AI despite the Trump administration’s efforts to stamp out its enforcement. Workers are still free to pursue such lawsuits on their own if the EEOC rejects their complaints, and several state laws specifically prohibit disparate impact discrimination.\n\n\n\nIn the case against Meta, lawyers for the plaintiffs argued that the company’s “algorithmically assisted selection process, by systematically recording such absences as reduced performance, falls more heavily on women than on men.” That’s because women disproportionately take pregnancy and caregiving leave, according to the lawyers. The lawsuit cites Title VII’s prohibition on employment practices that have a disparate impact, as well as a landmark 1971 Supreme Court ruling that recognized the doctrine.\n\n\n\nThe plaintiffs’ lawyers said in a statement that the lawsuit asks for one thing — preserving the status quo to keep the workers employed pending arbitration. That’s because “once these separations are final, the harms are irreversible: employer-subsidized health coverage lost during pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and active medical treatment; time-bound leave rights extinguished; unvested equity forfeited; and immigration consequences triggered.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/meta-lawsuit-alleges-ai-driven-layoffs-hit-workers-medical-parental-leave/4049542/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Barbara Ortutay and Alexandra Olson l The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-14T17:08:34.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FMETA-SUED.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C675","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"meta-employees-sue-alleging-ai-driven-layoffs-hit-workers-on-parental-and-medical-leave"},{"id":"95v4z9","title":"Bill to make daylight saving time permanent passes in U.S. House","excerpt":"A bid to end the biannual practice of changing clocks and make daylight saving time permanent moved one step closer to becoming law on Tuesday.\n\n\n\nThe House voted 308-117 to pass the bill, known as The Sunshine Protection Act, a day after it cleared a key hurdle in the House Rules Committee.

The measure, which has bipartisan support and the backing of President Donald Trump, would allow states to make daylight saving time permanent, with the option to opt out.\n\n\n\nThe legislation aims to permanently end the twice-annual changing of clocks and establish daylight saving time as the national standard. Supporters of the bill cited economic benefits like boosted tourism and outdoor recreation, while proponents voiced concerns that the measure would negatively impact health.\n\n\n\n\n\nDaylight saving time — setting the clocks forward one hour during ⁠the summer half of the year — has been in place in nearly all of the ​United States since the 1960s. With the exception of Arizona and Hawaii, most states observe daylight saving time.\n\n\n\nThe Sunshine Protection Act’s momentum comes after the House Energy and Commerce Committee overwhelmingly passed the measure 48-1 in May. A month prior, Trump had urged Congress to end time changes and “push hard for more daylight at the end of a day.”\n\n\n\nRep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., who authored the measure, said in a statement Monday that Americans are “tired of the biannual time change.”\n\n\n\n“Ending the clock change is a commonsense reform that will improve everyday life for millions of Americans,” he added.\n\n\n\nSince the bill passed the House on Tuesday, it now moves to the Senate for a vote. In order for Trump to sign it into law, it must pass both the Senate and the House.\n\n\n\nThe president has long pushed for an end to time changes, writing in an April Truth Social post that staying on daylight saving time would be “Very popular and, most importantly, no more changing of the clocks, a big inconvenience and, for our government, A VERY COSTLY EVENT!!!”\n\n\n\nThe Senate voted unanimously in March 2022 to make daylight saving time permanent, but the measure failed to advance in the House. And though polls show most Americans dislike changing their clocks twice a year, the political moves necessary to change the system haven’t succeeded, as opinions on the issue and its potential impacts remain sharply divided.\n\n\n\n\n\nSupporters of the Sunshine Protection Act say the time shift causes sleep ​disturbances, greater workplace injuries and more car crashes. They also believe brighter evenings would encourage more economic activity during winter and allow kids to be outdoors and physically active for longer hours.\n\n\n\nAlthough the legislation passed the House, it faces opposition from Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark. \n\n\n\nCotton has said the Sunrise Protection Act would result in “absurdly late” winter sunrises and force children to “walk to school in the pitch black” in much ​of the country. The lawmaker previously thwarted a bipartisan group of senators who sought unanimous consent to pass a similar measure in 2025.\n\n\n\nSpringing one hour ahead is also “not good for brain health,” according to sleep experts. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the American Medical Association and the National Sleep Foundation have all called for year-round standard time, which they say aligns the body with natural daylight. \n\n\n\nMany states, however, are ready to “ditch the switch.” Nineteen states have already passed legislation to make daylight saving time permanent should Congress allow it, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Other states have introduced legislation calling for permanent standard time.\n\n\n\nBuchanan, who has put forward the bill regularly since 2018, proposed it again this year. The plan is popular in the lawmaker’s home ​state because it would allow more evening hours to play on ​golf courses ⁠and sports fields.\n\n\n\nThe ⁠United ​States used year-round daylight saving time during World War ​II. It was reenacted by President Richard Nixon in 1974 to reduce energy use following the country’s oil crisis. But that stint proved unpopular and brief — it was repealed by Congress later that year.\n\n\n\nMaking daylight saving time permanent would mean the sun rises around 9 a.m. in Detroit for a while during the winter. Staying on standard time year round means the sun would be up at 4:11 a.m. in Seattle in June.\n\n\n\nJay Pea, president of Save Standard Time, an organization devoted to switching to standard time for good, weighed in on the longlasting time change debate, saying, “There’s no law we can pass to move the sun to our will” — although that hasn’t deterred lawmakers from toying with the idea.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/sunshine-protection-act-clears-house-committee/4049154/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Katharine Lee","publishDate":"2026-07-14T16:35:05.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FU.S.-Capitol-Building-Exterior-2283909791-Getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5046%2C3364","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"bill-to-make-daylight-saving-time-permanent-passes-in-us-house"},{"id":"rw73r8","title":"Nearly 7,000 cases of cyclosporiasis confirmed or under investigation nationwide, CDC says","excerpt":"Nearly 7,000 people nationwide may have cyclosporiasis, a foodborne illness that can cause weeks of severe diarrhea, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday.

An additional 5,100 cases are under investigation. \n\n\n\nAt least 34 states are reporting cases. The national tally lags behind what states are reporting as the agency must confirm each case.\n\n\n\nAccording to the CDC, 141 people have been hospitalized since cases were first reported in May. No deaths have been reported. \n\n\n\nThere have been 403 cases in New York City; 374 of them were reported between May and July 10, according to the city’s health department. \n\n\n\nThe CDC suspects that at least 400 of the cases across four states — Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and West Virginia — are connected. \n\n\n\n\n\nMichigan health officials said that based on more than 1,000 interviews with people who’ve tested positive, lettuce or salad greens have emerged as possible sources. \n\n\n\nHealth officials haven’t identified a supplier of the produce or where the products have been distributed. Michigan’s chief medical executive, Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, suggested the source of the outbreak is likely larger than one restaurant chain or grocer.\n\n\n\n“We know that contamination usually occurs where the produce was grown or processed, and because distributors supply the same produce to multiple types of establishments,” she said, “it’s unlikely for there to be one single place as the exposure for all of our cases.”\n\n\n\nNationally, no single product, restaurant, grocer or distributor has been implicated as the source of the illnesses, and there have been no recalls. \n\n\n\nOn Tuesday, Taco Bell Corp said in a statement that it had “voluntarily and temporarily removed limited ingredients at select restaurants as a precautionary measure,” though it noted that public health officials have not confirmed a link to the restaurant chain. \n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHealth & Wellness\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 13\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMichigan health officials reveal potential source for cyclosporiasis outbreak\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHealth\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 10\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t86 people have been hospitalized with foodborne parasite spreading across the U.S., CDC says\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nThe Food and Drug Administration said last week that it’s launched an investigation.\n\n\n\nCyclosporiasis is a foodborne illness caused by cyclospora, a microscopic parasite. That parasite can spread from human feces to products like lettuce through contaminated water or unsafe food handling. \n\n\n\nPrevious outbreaks have involved raspberries, bagged lettuce or salads, cilantro, basil, green onions and snow peas.\n\n\n\nOnce the parasites latch on, they’re hard to wash away. There’s no evidence that soaking food or dousing it with vinegar or commercial vegetable washes is enough to get rid of them. They need to be scrubbed off or cut off as much as possible.\n\n\n\nIf people eat food contaminated with cyclospora, it takes up to two weeks for people to get sick. The illness can begin with flu-like symptoms, such as fatigue, body aches and nausea. \n\n\n\nThe hallmark symptom of cyclosporiasis is severe, watery diarrhea that’s sometimes uncontrollable. Cyclosporiasis is most commonly treated with Bactrim, an antibiotic. \n\n\n\nLeft untreated, symptoms can linger for weeks. People with the illness need to drink plenty of fluids to counter the diarrhea.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/cyclosporiasis-cases-us-cdc-parasite-explosive-diarrhea/4049481/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Erika Edwards | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-14T16:00:52.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FCDC-CYCLOSPORIASIS_68eb48.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C675","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"nearly-7000-cases-of-cyclosporiasis-confirmed-or-under-investigation-nationwide-cdc-says"},{"id":"3yylay","title":"Elon Musk likely broke the law by promising voters $1 million payouts, Wisconsin board says","excerpt":"Billionaire Elon Musk likely broke Wisconsin law when he promised to hand out $1 million checks to voters in the 2025 state Supreme Court election, a bipartisan panel has found.\n\n\n\nThe Wisconsin Elections Commission last week referred two complaints to the Brown County district attorney’s office,...","content":"Billionaire Elon Musk likely broke Wisconsin law when he promised to hand out $1 million checks to voters in the 2025 state Supreme Court election, a bipartisan panel has found.\n\n\n\nThe Wisconsin Elections Commission last week referred two complaints to the Brown County district attorney’s office, which can choose to bring criminal charges over violating the state law against election bribery. Prosecutors have 40 days to report back to the commission. \n\n\n\nMusk, the founder of SpaceX and CEO of Tesla, was deeply involved in the effort to flip majority control of the highest court in battleground Wisconsin.\n\n\n\nThe tech titan and groups he supported spent at least $20 million on the candidate backed by Republicans, Brad Schimel. However, he lost by 10 percentage points to Democratic-backed candidate Susan Crawford.\n\n\n\nA month after the lopsided loss, Musk announced that he would be spending far less on political campaigns. Spending on the election topped $100 million, making it the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history. \n\n\n\nProsecutors will decide if Musk should be charged over the $1 million checks\n\n\n\nThe complaints, which are confidential under state law, were brought by voters in Milwaukee and Green Bay, which is in Brown County. Musk handed out checks at a rally there just days before the election.\n\n\n\nThe Wisconsin Elections Commission, consisting of three Democrats and three Republicans, voted 5-1 in closed session on Thursday to refer the complaints to the district attorney, the commission’s spokesperson Emilee Miklas said.\n\n\n\nBrown County District Attorney David Lasee, a Republican, did not immediately return a message seeking comment Tuesday. \n\n\n\nThe motion approved by the elections commission said it found probable cause that Musk broke Wisconsin law by making a social media post offering $1 million to people who voted in the Supreme Court election “in order to induce them to vote in that election.”\n\n\n\nSpokespeople for Musk did not immediately respond to requests for comment.\n\n\n\n\n\nMusk gave $1 million checks to 3 Wisconsin voters\n\n\n\nThree Wisconsin voters received checks from Musk, including two who got them in person at the Green Bay rally. Two weeks before the election, Musk’s political action committee, America PAC, offered $100 to voters who signed a petition in opposition to “activist judges,” or referred someone to sign it.\n\n\n\nCrawford’s win kept liberals in control of the state Supreme Court, and their majority grew to 5-2 after Democratic-backed candidate Chris Taylor’s victory this year.\n\n\n\nMusk’s spending on the 2025 race has already resulted in one lawsuit filed by a government watchdog group, the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, which seeks to prohibit him from ever again offering cash payments in the state. \n\n\n\nThat lawsuit is pending in Brown County. It alleges that Musk and two groups he funds violated prohibitions on vote bribery and unauthorized lotteries and that his actions were an unlawful conspiracy and public nuisance. \n\n\n\nAttempts to stop Musk failed in 2025\n\n\n\nWisconsin’s Democratic attorney general sued to stop Musk from handing over the checks to two voters, but was rejected by state courts.\n\n\n\nMusk’s attorneys argued in legal filings in 2025 that Musk was exercising his free speech rights with the giveaways and any attempt to restrict that would violate both the Wisconsin and U.S. constitutions.\n\n\n\nThe payments are “intended to generate a grassroots movement in opposition to activist judges, not to expressly advocate for or against any candidate,” Musk’s attorneys argued in court filings.\n\n\n\nMusk’s political action committee used a nearly identical tactic before the 2024 presidential election, offering to pay $1 million a day to voters in Wisconsin and six other battleground states who signed a petition supporting the First and Second amendments. A judge in Pennsylvania said prosecutors failed to show the effort was an illegal lottery and allowed it to continue through Election Day.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/elon-musk-likely-broke-the-law-by-giving-wisconsin-voters-1-million-in-election/4049435/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Scott Bauer | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-14T15:48:33.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2021%2F07%2FAP21190798629710.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4782%2C3188","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"elon-musk-likely-broke-the-law-by-promising-voters-1-million-payouts-wisconsin-board-says"},{"id":"cibxtq","title":"Mystery bidder buys T. rex nicknamed ‘Gus' for a record $50 million","excerpt":"A Tyrannosaurus rex fossil billed as one of the world’s largest and most complete specimens sold for a record $50.1 million Tuesday.\n\n\n\nSotheby’s said the 67-million-year-old fossil, nicknamed “Gus,” is now the most expensive set of dinosaur bones ever auctioned off, besting the almost $45 millio...","content":"A Tyrannosaurus rex fossil billed as one of the world’s largest and most complete specimens sold for a record $50.1 million Tuesday.\n\n\n\nSotheby’s said the 67-million-year-old fossil, nicknamed “Gus,” is now the most expensive set of dinosaur bones ever auctioned off, besting the almost $45 million price tag for a nearly complete stegosaurus sold by the same New York auction house in 2024. The previous record holder had been a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton nicknamed “Stan” that sold for nearly $32 million in 2020.\n\n\n\n“Gus is not only an exceptional find, but a specimen that’s been excavated, documented, prepared, and cared for with real excellence,” Cassandra Hatton, Sotheby’s vice chair, said after the sale was completed. “The market responds when great specimens are taken care of in the right way.”\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy the bidding for this T. rex was intense\n\n\n\nStanding upright with its tail extended and right foot slightly raised, “Gus” is an adult dinosaur specimen measuring about 12 ½ feet tall and 38 feet long.\n\n\n\nHe’s about 63% complete, with what Sotheby’s describes as an “exceptionally preserved” skull including a gaping jaw of powerful teeth, two “well represented” feet and a number of rarely found bones, including a furcula, or wishbone.\n\n\n\nThe fossil was discovered in 2021 on a ranch in South Dakota and named in honor of property owner Gary Licking, who died during the roughly five year excavation, restoration and mounting process.\n\n\n\nThe auction house said the mystery winner outbid six other prospective buyers during Tuesday’s 10-minute bidding battle. \n\n\n\n“Try a bigger bite,” auctioneer Phyllis Kao cajoled the bidders at one point as the auction was conducted live and online. “It’s a T. rex, after all.”\n\n\n\nSpokespersons didn’t respond to an email seeking more information about the winning bidder or their plans for the piece, which had been estimated to fetch anywhere from $20 to $30 million ahead of the sale.\n\n\n\n\n\nScientists want ‘Gus’ on public display\n\n\n\nThe Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, an advocacy group of scientists, scholars and students, said ahead of Tuesday’s sale that scientifically significant fossils such as “Gus” should be publicly displayed in museums and other research institutions so that they can be “preserved, documented, and accessible for future generations.”\n\n\n\n“The discovery of an important fossil is only the beginning of its scientific story,” Kristina Curry Rogers, the society’s vice president, explained in a statement. “Many of the most significant advances in paleontology have come years or even decades after a fossil was collected, as new analytical methods and technologies allowed scientists to ask entirely new questions of specimens already housed in museum collections.”\n\n\n\nIndeed, “Apex,” the stegosaurus, the previous dinosaur fossil record-holder, is currently on long-term loan to the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. “Sue” the T. rex, the first dinosaur ever sold at auction in 1997, also by Sotheby’s, is a centerpiece of the Field Museum in Chicago.\n\n\n\nAnd “Stan” is on display at the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi, posed in combat with another fossilized T. rex over the remains of a triceratops.\n\n\n\nA Cretaceous king and Hollywood staple\n\n\n\nTyrannosaurus rex, whose name roughly translates to “King of the Tyrant Lizards,” stood firmly at the top of the food chain when it ruled during the late Cretaceous period.\n\n\n\nWith its fearsome jawline and comically stubby arms, it has become the most recognizable and beloved of the dinosaurs, depicted in everything from children’s programs like Barney, the purple T. rex, to the enduring “Jurassic Park” movie franchise.\n\n\n\nThe great beasts roamed what is today western North America, during a time when the region boasted “warm climates, high sea levels, and rich coastal floodplains” that allowed their primary prey, giant herbivores like the triceratops, to flourish, according to Sotheby’s.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/mystery-bidder-buys-t-rex-gus-record-50-million/4049401/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) -

Matthew Felling, a spokesman for Maine Sen. Angus King, said the senator’s office was also told by the Department of Homeland Security that ICE was suspending vehicle stops.\n\n\n\nHundreds of people in Maine protested Tuesday over an ICE officer’s fatal shooting Monday of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, a 26-year-old Colombian national.\n\n\n\nDHS said Monday that the officer, “fearing for public safety,” shot and killed Durán Guerrero while officers were watching the home of someone they believed was in the U.S. illegally and had a final order of removal from the country. It said in a post on X that when ICE tried to stop a car driven by someone who came from the home, the vehicle attempted to flee and the officer fired his weapon.\n\n\n\nThat was a shift from how King described the encounter hours earlier, when he said Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told him the officer opened fire after the man tried to use his vehicle as a weapon. King said Mullin told him the officers were trying to serve an arrest warrant, but not for the man who was shot.\n\n\n\nDHS, which oversees ICE, didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking clarity on what led to the shooting.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tU.S. & World \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaine\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 13\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPerson fatally shot by ICE officer during Maine traffic stop\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImmigration\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 9\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat we know about the fatal shooting of a man by an ICE officer in Houston\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImmigration\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 3\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tICE arrests 10,000 in 5 days, a sharp late-June surge in Trump's deportation push\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nIn a scathing post on X, outgoing Colombian President Gustavo Petro called the shooting a targeted killing “at the hands of the U.S. government.”\n\n\n\nPetro, who has openly quarreled with U.S. President Donald Trump, urged Trump to provide an explanation and accused ICE officers of treating Durán Guerrero as “an inferior being without rights.”\n\n\n\nThe shooting sparked outrage among hundreds of protesters who gathered Tuesday outside of ICE detention center in Scarborough, just up the coast between Biddeford and Portland.\n\n\n\n“These people are killers and they must leave our state now,” organizer Todd Chretien told the crowd, including some who held signs reading “Stop the murder” and “End this terror.”\n\n\n\nMaine’s congressional delegation on Tuesday demanded a “comprehensive, transparent, and expedited investigation.”\n\n\n\nQuestions surround the shooting\n\n\n\nDurán Guerrero’s shooting marked at least the ninth time ICE has used deadly force since Trump began his immigration crackdown.\n\n\n\nPhotos showed bullet holes in the Maine car’s windshield, but the officers involved in the shooting didn’t have body cameras, leaving many questions. Among them are how close the officer was to the vehicle when they fired, whether officers told Durán Guerrero to stop, and why ICE believes he had put the public in danger.\n\n\n\n“We are always evaluating our procedures to keep our officers safe and criminals off our streets. We will not disclose or discuss law enforcement tactics,” an ICE spokesperson said in a statement.\n\n\n\nMaine’s other senator, Republican Susan Collins, said Mullin told her that DHS’ Office of Inspector General is investigating in cooperation with the FBI.\n\n\n\nThe state attorney general’s office, which noted that it’s working cooperatively with federal agencies to investigate, said initial statements suggest the driver was trying to flee in the direction of the officer, whose name hasn’t been released and who was placed on leave.\n\n\n\nVideo shows the shooting’s aftermath\n\n\n\nAccording to neighbors and public records, Guerrero lived in an apartment about 150 feet from where his car came to a rest outside an apartment building across the street from a pawnshop and laundromat.\n\n\n\nVideo from a nearby business’ security camera obtained by the AP shows a white car slowly approaching an intersection before making several circles.

Their testimony came weeks after the conservative-majority court handed down a series of major opinions, including one that increased President Donald Trump’s power over federal regulatory agencies and one that rejected his wide-ranging tariffs. Those rulings and more sparked harsh personal criticism of the justices.\n\n\n\nThe main focus of the hearings in the House and Senate was a request for increased security funding for the justices. Like judges around the country, they’ve faced a surge in threats of violence and intimidation.\n\n\n\nBarrett said she had to take a bulletproof vest home a few years ago, something she struggled to explain to her 12-year-old son. “I didn’t expect that performing this service would put me in the position of explaining to my children what a bulletproof vest was, why I had to wear one,” she said.\n\n\n\nWhile security was the major theme of the justices’ testimony, ethics and the shadow docket also emerged as lines of questioning for members of Congress in packed hearing rooms with lines out the door.\n\n\n\nSecurity is central to the Supreme Court’s budget request\n\n\n\nThe Supreme Court requested a total of $228 million for next fiscal year, a roughly 10% increase over the year before. About $18 million of that is for maintaining the building and grounds.\n\n\n\nMuch of the requested operating-budget increase, $14.6 million, would go to expanding personal protection for justices, with six more agents for each.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. Marshals Service reported 564 threats in the last government fiscal year, an increase that includes threats to the hundreds of federal judges around the country.\n\n\n\nThe nine-member Supreme Court has also been targeted, including by fake 911 swatting calls and pizza deliveries in the name of a judge’s murdered son.\n\n\n\nBarrett said her son opened their door in May to see their street filled with police cars responding to a fake swatting call that her security team quickly dispersed. Last year, her sister was the victim of a bomb threat in Charleston, South Carolina, police said. No bomb was found.\n\n\n\nIn 2022, shortly after the leak of a draft opinion overturning the Roe v. Wade abortion decision, a would-be assassin was arrested near the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh with weapons and zip ties. Threats to the Supreme Court have continued to grow since then and are expected to be up 38% this year, Kagan said.\n\n\n\nShe condemned rhetoric from public officials targeting judges for personal criticism when they disagree with their rulings.\n\n\n\n“When political figures of any stripe are trying to intimidate judges and justices to do things that they like rather than things they don’t, that’s where we really have crossed the line,” she said.\n\n\n\nKagan and Barrett differ on ethics code enforcement\n\n\n\nMultiple Democrats brought up the Supreme Court’s relatively new code of ethics, adopted in 2023 during a storm of criticism over undisclosed trips and gifts from wealthy benefactors to some justices.\n\n\n\nWhile the justices agreed that members of the court are taking the code seriously, Kagan supported creating a way to enforce it. The liberal-leaning justice acknowledged, though, that enforcement could be tricky. That would have to come from the judicial branch and the Supreme Court sits at its head.\n\n\n\nBarrett, who is part of the court’s conservative majority, said she’s not sure an enforcement mechanism is possible. It’s not clear there’s an effective way to address questions about who would do the enforcing and how, she said.\n\n\n\n“I am certainly fully committed to the code as are all of our colleagues, but because of some of the complexities I’m just not quite sure” about enforcement, she said.\n\n\n\nKagan cites downsides to the rise in emergency appeals\n\n\n\nThe Supreme Court has seen a sharp rise in appeals to its short-term emergency docket, where the justices make quicker decisions in cases still working their way through the court system.\n\n\n\nIt’s been especially busy during Trump’s second term, as his administration appeals orders blocking parts of his wide-ranging agenda to the nation’s highest court. The government notched a string of wins in this manner, on cuts to the federal workforce, restrictions on transgender members of the military, and more.\n\n\n\nSuch decisions are usually made without a detailed explanation, and while the orders are designed to be temporary they can nevertheless have real-world effects.\n\n\n\n“There are downsides of using emergency relief,” Kagan said. “You don’t get the kind of briefing that we ordinarily do. We don’t get the argument we ordinarily get.” She added: “We should consider those downsides when we decide how often to grant relief.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/supreme-court-justices-congress-ask-more-security/4049286/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Lindsay Whitehurst | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-14T13:29:31.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FSCOTUS-JUSTICES-SEC.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C675","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"supreme-court-justices-detail-security-risks-in-rare-congressional-testimony"},{"id":"44d9yq","title":"Missing man's body recovered from Benbrook Lake","excerpt":"The body of a 62-year-old man was recovered from Benbrook Lake on Monday morning.\n\n\n\nTexas Game Wardens and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began searching Sunday evening for a man seen at about 6 p.m. slipping underwater in a swimming area near Mustang Park. \n\n\n\nGame wardens and USACE employees...","content":"The body of a 62-year-old man was recovered from Benbrook Lake on Monday morning.\n\n\n\nTexas Game Wardens and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began searching Sunday evening for a man seen at about 6 p.m. slipping underwater in a swimming area near Mustang Park. \n\n\n\nGame wardens and USACE employees searched the area but suspended operations overnight.

For now, this means a name may not come easily to me, I forget a story I have recently told, or I don’t sleep as well, but I am in the beginning of this long journey,” Sullenberger, 75, said in a statement on his website.\n\n\n\nSullenberger said he hopes that by sharing the news of his diagnosis, “other families living in the shadows with this disease will feel they too can step forward.”\n\n\n\n“Though it may impact my memory of the past, this diagnosis will not prevent me from looking forward to and appreciating our future,” Sullenberger said. “I will navigate this chapter with my wonderful family by my side.”\n\n\n\nSullenberger earned international acclaim after he managed to safely land US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River on Jan. 15, 2009, after both engines got knocked out by a collision with birds. All 155 people aboard survived.\n\n\n\nThe water landing came to be known as the “Miracle on the Hudson.” Clint Eastwood dramatized Sullenberger’s heroic exploits in the 2016 film “Sully,” starring Tom Hanks in the title role.\n\n\n\nSullenberger retired in March 2010 after three decades as a professional pilot. In recent years, Sullenberger established himself as a prominent advocate for aviation safety.\n\n\n\n“Over the years, when people would ask about the successful outcome of Flight 1549, I would say that ‘courage can be contagious,’ and on that day it helped everyone band together to get everyone off that airplane successfully,” Sullenberger said in Tuesday’s statement.\n\n\n\n“Now we need that courage to battle this disease. I am now part of a larger community with many of you, and we will be courageous together,” he added.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/sully-sullenberger-miracle-hudson-pilot-says-alzheimers-disease/4049227/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Daniel Arkin | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-14T12:29:53.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FSULLY.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C675","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"sully-sullenberger-miracle-on-the-hudson-pilot-says-he-has-alzheimers-disease"},{"id":"sf6y6","title":"United Airlines launches new Economy Plus row with no middle seat","excerpt":"Hate the middle seat on the airplane?

Our customers are going to love all these new options.”\n\n\n\nEach XLR aircraft will have one row with the new feature, United said. In those rows, the middle the chair will have large, “custom-designed tables stretching from armrest to armrest” across the seat. The updated look will give customers on the window and aisle “extra space to stretch out on longer international flights,” United said. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The table is permanently fixed, with a soft leather-like covering, and two indentations for cups,” the announcement said. “And the extra space is in addition to the three inches of additional legroom already offered in Economy Plus on the XLR.”\n\n\n\nThe new offering, for the Economy Plus tier, will be available for sale starting later in 2026, United said.\n\n\n\nUnited’s Airbus A321XL was designed to be the airline’s “most premium narrowbody airplane,” the release said. In addition to the special row, the aircraft is outfitted with 32 premium seats, including a new United Polaris Studio suite — an all-aisle access seat that can lie completely flat and comes with a privacy door. \n\n\n\n“Every seat has a large, 4K OLED screen with Bluetooth connectivity, ranging in size from 19 inches in Polaris, 16 inches in United Premium Plus and 13 inches in United Economy, and everyone has access to larger overhead bins with room for rollaboard bags and a snack bar in the rear of the economy cabin,” United said. \n\n\n\nUnited plans to offer its first domestic flights on the new A321XLR later this fall, the announcement said. International service was expected to begin by early 2027.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/united-airlines-launches-new-economy-plus-row-with-no-middle-seats/4049963/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"NBC Chicago Staff","publishDate":"2026-07-14T12:21:39.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2025%2F01%2Fshutterstock_2292032849.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1000%2C563","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"united-airlines-launches-new-economy-plus-row-with-no-middle-seat"},{"id":"ennln1","title":"World Cup fans tip their hat to western wardrobe","excerpt":"The Fort Worth Stockyards have been the ultimate western base camp for FIFA World Cup fans.\n\n\n\nGlobal soccer culture meets classic Texas style – and visitors want to grab it by the horns.\n\n\n\n“They start grabbing hats and puttin’ em on, and we show ’em how to wear it.

It’s one of the retailer’s largest. \n\n\n\nHarvard says cowboy hat sales at Cavender’s in the Stockyards are up 20 percent. More than 400 hats sold in just three weeks. \n\n\n\n“I had to call our buyer, Dylan, ‘Can you get me some more hats? Whatever you can get your hands on, bring it to me,” he said. \n\n\n\nWild Bill’s Western Store in Dallas had to stock up, too, after a shirt Norway superstar Erling Haaland bought sold out in 45 minutes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe owners say he left with two hats and boots, too,and his teammates did some retail therapy, too. \n\n\n\n“They were playing dress up.

It’s that southern charm. “\n\n\n\nHarvard gets it, too. “They wanna take Texas back with ’em. Go home.

Hernandez serves as president of Oui Dallas, an organization that helps connect and support the French community across the Dallas-Fort Worth area.\n\n\n\nFor Hernandez, the timing of the match makes the experience even more meaningful.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Having the people I love from back home, in a place that is my new home, now on a special day for both countries,” Hernandez said. “So having my mom with me is going to be something that I think we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.”\n\n\n\nHernandez recently traveled to Boston to watch the French national team play and will be cheering on “Les Bleus” once again during Tuesday’s championship match. His mother booked a last-minute flight from the south of France to be part of what he calls a once-in-a-lifetime experience.\n\n\n\n“It’s a blessing,” Hernandez said. “Sometimes things happen for a reason. And I hope for good reasons, we get the win, and we celebrate after.”\n\n\n\nHernandez said he expects visitors from France to feel right at home in North Texas.\n\n\n\n“Here, the culture is very welcoming. It has a soul. It’s very unique from any other place in the United States,” he said. “And I’m sure people will come and blend in together.”\n\n\n\nThe semifinal match kicks off at 2 p.m. at Dallas Stadium.\n\n\n\nOui Dallas is helping organize a large watch party at Hendy’s on Henderson Avenue in Dallas, with doors opening at 11 a.m. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers expect fans to gather hours before kickoff to celebrate both the World Cup final and Bastille Day.\n\n\n\nFestivities for the national holiday will continue after the match regardless of the outcome.\n\n\n\nA Bastille Day celebration is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. at Hendy’s.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeanwhile, the Bishop Arts District will host a major Bastille Day festival from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. The event will feature a “Bastille Walk” with French food, drinks and entertainment as streets in the district are closed to accommodate the celebration.\n\n\n\nAttending the festival is free but organizers ask that you buy tickets online if you want to do the food and drink crawl.\n\n\n\nFun fact: The Oak Cliff neighborhood was originally established as a French Utopian colony called La Reunion, which is from where the iconic Reunion Tower in Downtown Dallas also received its name. Nearly 350 men and women settled the Oak Cliff area in the 1850s, although most eventually moved elsewhere. That is why the Oak Cliff neighborhood continues to host the Bastille Day celebration every year.\n\n\n\nAccording to Hernandez, French visitors began arriving in North Texas over the weekend, allowing locals to show off some of Dallas’ most popular attractions before the championship match.\n\n\n\n“We went to the stockyards. They got to see their first rodeo. You had a lot of French and Spanish jerseys over there. No animosity between the two. We got along well,” Hernandez said.\n\n\n\nWhether France brings home another World Cup title or not, Hernandez believes the combination of soccer’s biggest stage and France’s national holiday will make Bastille Day 2026 in Dallas a celebration French fans will never forget.\n\n\n\n“I feel like all French people here are happy about it. We are going to get together anyway. The big benefits of Bastille Day during the World Cup here in Dallas is that also people that are not French or not necessarily aware that this is happening, get a chance to meet with us in person and discover our culture and spend some time,” he said. “This is a special day in France, that we also have our 4th of July, and they get a chance to come and spend time with us and hopefully celebrate the win.”\n\n\n\n\n\nTo find more Bastille Day celebrations, click here to read more from our partners at The Dallas Morning News.\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/bastille-day-adds-extra-meaning-to-france-spain-world-cup-match-in-dallas/4049100/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Alanna Quillen","publishDate":"2026-07-14T07:54:04.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fposter-frame-1784033942944.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"bastille-day-adds-extra-meaning-to-the-france-spain-world-cup-match-in-dallas"},{"id":"g3naou","title":"Vive la France!

The winner is headed to New York for the final. The loser will play in Miami on Saturday for third place.\n\n\n\nFrance filled Klyde Warren Park Monday night ahead of the big match.\n\n\n\n“The atmosphere that those fans create is unlike anything we see in sport,” Chad Estis, Dallas Cowboys Exec. VP of Business Ops., said. “When Messi scored the goal that made him the all-time leader in World Cup goals, 25.9 terabytes of data went through the stadium. I don’t think I saw a person that did not have their phone out.” \n\n\n\n\n\nCreating that atmosphere took years of planning and thousands of people working behind the scenes. \n\n\n\n“You believed in a vision years before the first whistle blew,” Monica Paul, who led the North Texas FIFA Organizing Committee, said. “There’s a lot of years and hours that have gone into putting together this World Cup. You know, we knew from the beginning that it was going to take an entire region to come together.”\n\n\n\nOrganizers say the relationships, international exposure, and momentum from the World Cup have them chasing even more goals, like bringing the 2031 Women’s World Cup to North Texas; FC Dallas Owner Dan Hunt hopes to host the Final. \n\n\n\n\n\n“Our country has developed a reputation that we’re not always that friendly. These games here in North Texas have changed opinions about what people think of Americans,” Arlington Mayor Jim Ross said.\n\n\n\nThe goal, according to North Texas leaders, has always been to bring visitors and global attention back to our region.\n\n\n\n\n\n“Our vision is also towards 2031 and hopefully being able to host the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2031,” Paul said.\n\n\n\nOther highlights from the FIFA World Cup include the Orange Army marching to Dallas Stadium, Croatian fans walking their massive flag through Downtown Dallas, England fans taking over The Londonder, Lionel Messi making World Cup history, and Japan fans turning Harwood Park into a sea of blue.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/what-comes-after-north-texas-final-world-cup-match/4049012/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Meredith Yeomans, Alicia Barrera and Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-07-14T06:00:41.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FDallas-Stadium-rules.png%3Ffit%3D862%2C485%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"what-comes-after-north-texas-final-world-cup-match"},{"id":"pbwllb","title":"World Cup semifinal puts Dallas-area security teams under brightest spotlight yet","excerpt":"A senior White House official overseeing World Cup security says the biggest concern ahead of Tuesday’s semifinal match at Dallas Stadium in Arlington is not a known threat; it’s complacency.\n\n\n\nAfter eight World Cup Dallas matches with no major security incidents, Andrew Giuliani, who leads Pres...","content":"A senior White House official overseeing World Cup security says the biggest concern ahead of Tuesday’s semifinal match at Dallas Stadium in Arlington is not a known threat; it’s complacency.\n\n\n\nAfter eight World Cup Dallas matches with no major security incidents, Andrew Giuliani, who leads President Donald Trump’s FIFA World Cup Task Force, told NBC 5 Investigates that security teams must remain vigilant as Spain takes on France in the highest-profile match held in North Texas so far.\n\n\n\nLaw enforcement teams have spent more than 30 days monitoring intelligence, controlling stadium crowds in Arlington, protecting the fan festival and World Cup International Broadcast Center in Dallas, guarding restricted airspace against drone threats, securing team hotels and escorting players.\n\n\n\nDrone, left, and the IBC in Dallas, right.\n\n\n\nGiuliani said fatigue becomes a concern for security teams operating at a heightened level for weeks, especially in the North Texas heat.\n\n\n\n“It really is something that I’ve reminded our team about that we need to stay on our game as sharp as we ever have in spite of the fact that fatigue is probably kicking in right now,” Giuliana said.\n\n\n\nSecurity leaders said they are not aware of any credible threats against Tuesday’s semifinal match. Giuliani said the security plan remains largely the same as it was for previous matches, including intense monitoring for potential threats.\n\n\n\nAndrew Giuliani\n\n\n\n“We continue to focus on a minute-by-minute basis to see if we can uncover any potential intelligence that will make not just the World Cup site safe at AT&T Stadium – or Dallas Stadium in Arlington,” Giuliani said.\n\n\n\nThere have been challenges during the tournament. Arlington Police reviewed stadium security measures after fans were arrested for attempting to sneak into previous matches without tickets. \n\n\n\nMore than a dozen people have been arrested so far, and as NBC 5 Investigates first reported, Arlington Police said one person was able to get inside and then elude capture.\n\n\n\nFans outside Dallas Stadium in Arlington during the World Cup.\n\n\n\nGiuliani said law enforcement responded well to that potential threat.\n\n\n\n“I think they’ve done very, very well. I mean, you look at this and there’s been really no major security incidents. Uh, that was obviously concerning. Uh, but you know, adjustments were made,” Giuliani said.\n\n\n\nSecurity officials have also dealt with drone concerns. The FBI’s Dallas Field Office told NBC 5 Investigates it has seized at least 84 drones suspected of illegally flying in restricted airspace around both Dallas Stadium in Arlington and the fan festival at Dallas Fair Park.\n\n\n\nAreas around Dallas Fair Park and “Dallas Stadium” in Arlington were no-fly zones during the World Cup.\n\n\n\nGiuliani said that the number was not a surprise and that he expected many drones would be seized. Nationally, more than 700 drones have been seized by law enforcement, and more than 1,500 have been detected in airspace around FIFA-related events, according to the White House Task Force.\n\n\n\n“We knew that it was going to be a significant amount,” Giuliani said.\n\n\n\nAfter weeks of drone seizures, including serious criminal charges filed against two drone operators accused of launching in the stadium no-fly zone, officials said the message appears to be getting through.\n\n\n\n“I think the good thing is what we’re starting to see is those numbers, after about week two, they started to come down,” Giuliani said.\n\n\n\nGiuliani declined to answer whether any of the drone operators who were arrested were attempting to disrupt World Cup events and said he did not want to focus on specific cases. He said most people caught flying drones in restricted airspace either did not understand the restrictions or disregarded the rules.\n\n\n\nNBC 5 senior investigative reporter Scott Friedman talks with Andrew Giuliani.\n\n\n\nSo far, in federal charges filed in Dallas and across the country, prosecutors have not indicated that anyone intended to harm people, however investigations into intent may be ongoing.\n\n\n\nWith one game left in Arlington, Giuliani said he is confident in the security team.\n\n\n\n“I think they’ve done a fantastic job in Dallas and Arlington,” Giuliani said.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tWorld Cup\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 25\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFour arrested without tickets, one slips away in Dallas Stadium World Cup security breach\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNBC 5 Investigates\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 14\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDallas' World Cup match runs smoothly amid unprecedented security","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/investigations/world-cup-semifinal-tests-dallas-area-security-teams/4048847/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Scott Friedman, Eva Parks, Edward Ayala and Frank Heinz","publishDate":"2026-07-13T21:50:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Farlington-police-world-cup-att-stadium-dallas.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"world-cup-semifinal-puts-dallas-area-security-teams-under-brightest-spotlight-yet"},{"id":"5kfomf","title":"North Dallas couple says three apartment break-ins left them with nothing","excerpt":"A North Dallas couple says they are leaving their apartment just two weeks after moving in because it was burglarized three times in less than two weeks.\n\n\n\nMac and Kenz Flannery say they have lost nearly everything they owned after repeated break-ins at their apartment at North Star Apartments o...","content":"A North Dallas couple says they are leaving their apartment just two weeks after moving in because it was burglarized three times in less than two weeks.\n\n\n\nMac and Kenz Flannery say they have lost nearly everything they owned after repeated break-ins at their apartment at North Star Apartments on Forest Lane.\n\n\n\n“The door was locked, so we didn’t immediately suspect anything was wrong. And then noticed that the TV was gone pretty quickly. And then once that was obvious, then it was immensely apparent that someone had been in here. Everything was gone,” Kenz. Flannery said.\n\n\n\nThe couple had been out of town for a gender reveal celebration. They say they are expecting their first child, a girl. Flannery is 16 weeks pregnant.\n\n\n\nAfter discovering the first burglary, the Flannerys say they notified apartment management and stayed in a hotel because they no longer felt safe.\n\n\n\n“The complex never sent security or anybody out to be securing the unit for us. We’d been coming back every couple of days just ourselves to check in and see if anything else had happened or whatever. And everything was fine until we came back on Saturday,” she said.\n\n\n\nWhen they returned, they said additional items had been stolen, including their stove, washer and dryer.\n\n\n\nA third burglary the following day pushed their estimated losses to nearly $100,000.\n\n\n\n“I have to go through the entire identity protection process. They’ve taken our passports, our marriage certificate, my Social Security card. I’m pregnant. They’ve taken our ultrasound photos,” Flannery said.\n\n\n\nThe couple says thieves also took jewelry, a coin collection, a baseball card collection and many everyday belongings.\n\n\n\n“I mean, pretty much everything but the seven boxes that remain just here has pretty much just been taken of our personal belongings,” Mac Flannery said.\n\n\n\nThe Flannerys also say they repeatedly contacted apartment management after each burglary but saw no additional security measures.\n\n\n\n“A lot of it, too, is what I would say is completely avoidable. Like, I mean, we’ve contacted obviously the owner and management here between every single one of these break-ins, and there’s been no attempt to help us secure the place in any way, especially when their own property has been taken. They’ve been made known of that as well,” Mac Flannery said.\n\n\n\nThe couple says the only relief offered by North Star Apartments was the ability to terminate their new lease.\n\n\n\nA manager at the property told NBC 5 that the request for information had been forwarded to the apartment complex’s ownership. NBC 5 has not yet received a response.\n\n\n\nDallas police said the burglaries remain under investigation.\n\n\n\nThe Flannerys say they have decided to move back to Georgia to rebuild.\n\n\n\n“If you try to think about it too much, none of it makes sense, so you can’t really wrap your head around it. We’re just trying to focus on packing up, getting out, and preventing this from happening to anybody else,” Kenz Flannery said.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/dfw-dallas-apartment-robbed-three-times/4048929/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Allie Spillyards","publishDate":"2026-07-13T20:31:38.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Frobbed.png%3Ffit%3D859%2C483%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"north-dallas-couple-says-three-apartment-break-ins-left-them-with-nothing"},{"id":"5nx1kp","title":"Family demands more charges after teen's arrest in Lake Ray Hubbard drowning","excerpt":"The family of 18-year-old Daniel Erving is demanding additional charges and more answers after a teenager was arrested nearly three months after Erving’s death at Lake Ray Hubbard.\n\n\n\nSurrounded by family and friends during a news conference, Erving’s mother, Tameka Erving, spoke publicly about h...","content":"The family of 18-year-old Daniel Erving is demanding additional charges and more answers after a teenager was arrested nearly three months after Erving’s death at Lake Ray Hubbard.\n\n\n\nSurrounded by family and friends during a news conference, Erving’s mother, Tameka Erving, spoke publicly about her son’s death.\n\n\n\n“This wasn’t supposed to happen.”\n\n\n\nThe family described Daniel Erving as an honor roll high school senior, a member of the swim team and “a good kid.” His body was found in Lake Ray Hubbard four days after he went missing in April.\n\n\n\nLast Thursday, 19-year-old Lucas Roper was arrested.\n\n\n\nAccording to an arrest affidavit, Roper and a 16-year-old picked up Erving from his home to go fishing and swimming. The affidavit says the three jumped from a bridge into the lake and that Erving drowned.\n\n\n\nThe affidavit alleges the two teens panicked and left Erving in the water. It says they threw his clothes into nearby trees and discarded his cellphone in a ditch after driving away.\n\n\n\nAccording to the affidavit, Roper later admitted deleting messages between himself and Erving because he knew there would be an investigation and did not want to get into trouble.\n\n\n\n“If you are not guilty of a crime, why would you throw away his clothes and delete messages and not even call his mother?” Tameka Erving said.\n\n\n\nSean Daredia, an attorney representing the Erving family, criticized the actions described in the affidavit.\n\n\n\n“Those two suspects let Daniel Erving; they let his body sit on the bottom of Lake Ray Hubbard for four days.”\n\n\n\nHe added:\n\n\n\n“They went to school, they lived their lives, they talked to their parents, talked to their friends, acted like nothing happened.”\n\n\n\nRoper was interviewed by police on April 20 but was not arrested until July 9.\n\n\n\nAnother attorney representing the family questioned the timeline.\n\n\n\n“Why did it take them three months to decide to do anything about it?”\n\n\n\nRowlett police initially investigated the case before Dallas police took over because Erving’s body was found within Dallas’ jurisdiction.\n\n\n\nBoth departments and the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office said they cannot comment because the investigation remains open.\n\n\n\nThe family’s attorneys said they are now conducting their own investigation.\n\n\n\nDominique Alexander of the Next Generation Action Network said the current charge is not enough.\n\n\n\n“Tampering with the evidence charge is an outright disrespect to this family, to me, to this community.”\n\n\n\nThe family is calling for additional charges as they continue seeking answers.\n\n\n\n“I just want justice for my son,” Tameka Erving said.\n\n\n\nCourt records do not list an attorney for Lucas Roper. The other teen involved is a minor.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/family-demands-charges-teens-arrest-lake-ray-hubbard-drowning/4048902/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Jala Washington","publishDate":"2026-07-13T18:40:24.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fdownload-6.png%3Ffit%3D859%2C483%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"family-demands-more-charges-after-teens-arrest-in-lake-ray-hubbard-drowning"},{"id":"7pdy5e","title":"Allen graduates help North Texas students start school with confidence","excerpt":"As the new school year approaches, recent graduates from Allen are helping make back-to-school shopping a little less stressful for some North Texas families through a nonprofit they launched while still in high school.\n\n\n\nPathway Packs, founded two years ago by twin brothers Amalan Sivalogan and...","content":"As the new school year approaches, recent graduates from Allen are helping make back-to-school shopping a little less stressful for some North Texas families through a nonprofit they launched while still in high school.\n\n\n\nPathway Packs, founded two years ago by twin brothers Amalan Sivalogan and Darshan Sivalogan, along with their friend Cole Dolton, donates backpacks filled with school supplies to students at Title I schools in low-income communities across North Texas.\n\n\n\nEach backpack includes paper, pencils and other classroom essentials — along with a note of encouragement for the student receiving it.\n\n\n\n“Inside you’ll find supplies to help you learn because the world needs your light,” Amalan Sivalogan read from a note included in a backpack.\n\n\n\nThe founders said the mission is about more than providing school supplies.\n\n\n\n“So we all believe every student deserves an equal chance and equal start,” Amalan Sivalogan said.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe idea for Pathway Packs grew out of the founders’ own memories of preparing for a new school year as elementary school students.\n\n\n\n“It was like a fresh start for that year for us, and we wanted to attack that year with our best and give it our best and that’s why we thought of this idea,” Darshan Sivalogan said.\n\n\n\nThe organization hopes every backpack helps students feel valued and confident as they begin the school year.\n\n\n\n“Just giving them a sense of you matter — your confidence matters — you’re going to do good in your life,” Darshan Sivalogan said.\n\n\n\nAs the founders prepare to attend the University of Texas at Austin this fall, they have built a pipeline of high school student volunteers to keep the nonprofit operating while they are away. They also plan to expand Pathway Packs to reach even more students.\n\n\n\n“We make sure to tell them that there are students just like us that are doing stuff like this, and we want to serve as an inspiration to them to do things like that in the future,” Darshan Sivalogan said.\n\n\n\nFor the founders, a backpack represents more than a collection of school supplies. They hope it serves as the first step toward a brighter future for every student who receives one.\n\n\n\n“We’re hoping this is their first step, they can go chase their dreams, really do anything,” Amalan Sivalogan said.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

Nobody could get by. It was a complete disaster,” Hunt County driver Leonard Graves said.\n\n\n\nThe unusual reports sparked speculation among residents about what caused the pavement to fail.\n\n\n\nTxDOT said extreme heat was the primary factor. According to the agency, traffic sitting on the highway while the crash was cleared increased pavement temperatures, while some drivers making U-turns helped break apart the already softened asphalt.\n\n\n\nA TxDOT spokesperson said the oil-based material used to bind the aggregate together can soften, or become “reactivated,” during periods of extreme heat, causing the pavement to become sticky.\n\n\n\nFor some longtime Texans, the explanation was surprising.\n\n\n\n“No ma’am I have not,” Hunt County driver Doug Milton said when asked whether he had ever heard of roads melting in Texas.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

The winner is headed to New York for the final. The loser will play in Miami on Saturday for third place.\n\n\n\n\n\nRefereeing has made headlines this tournament, including the quarterfinals. Switzerland was outraged after referee João Pinheiro reversed a yellow card decision in the second half against Argentina that ended up sending a Swiss player off instead – it’s a new rule FIFA calls “mistaken identity.”\n\n\n\nNorway was equally as outraged when Jude Bellingham’s equalizer for England was not overturned. Norway argued the ball hit an aerial camera cable in the lead-up, meaning play should have stopped, and a drop ball should have been utilized. FIFA disagreed, and England went on to win 2-1.\n\n\n\n\n\nFIFA announced Monday they would move video assistant refereeing (VAR) on-site due to backlash. It had been exclusively run out of a centralized video operation room at the International Broadcast Center in Downtown Dallas.\n\n\n\n“There’s a lot of drama that unfolds in these games. And look, when you are asking only four officials to manage what’s going on on the field, it’s very difficult on a field that’s much bigger than an American football field. I’m glad that there’s gonna be on-site.

Paraguay held on to their 1-0 win over Turkiye despite playing a man down for the entire second half. Almiron later apologized to his team for the mistake. \n\n\n\n\n\nTwo players in total have been sent off with red cards for covering their mouths while confronting an opponent. FIFA established the new rule to prevent players from hiding abusive, discriminatory, or offensive language while on the field. FIFA president Gianni Infantino pushed for the rule after Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni tried to hide verbal insults toward Real Madrid’s Vinícius Júnior in a Champions League game.\n\n\n\nAlmiron was also carded under the mistaken identity rule in the opening match against the USMNT after video review overturned a yellow card issued to Tim Ream.\n\n\n\n\n\nThere have been multiple officiating controversies to come out of the 2026 World Cup.\n\n\n\nFIFA’s refereeing chief rejected claims of bias in Argentina’s win after Egypt’s coach Hossam Hassan alleged after the match that there may have been pressure on the referee to keep Argentina in the tournament.\n\n\n\n\n\nEuropean soccer leaders criticized FIFA’s decision to let USMNT striker Falorin Balogun play after a questionable red card in the second half of their win over Bosnia.\n\n\n\n\n\nThere were also allegations of a video review official using a white supremacist gesture; the official said it was caused by a twitch, and FIFA announced no rules were breached.\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/meet-the-referees-for-the-france-spain-2026-fifa-world-cup-semifinal-at-dallas-stadium/4048623/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-07-13T10:46:45.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2F2026-07-07T211546Z_1126883491_UP1EM771N29FI_RTRMADP_3_SOCCER-WORLDCUP-SWI-COL.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3660%2C2546","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"meet-the-referees-for-the-france-spain-2026-world-cup-semifinal-at-dallas-stadium"},{"id":"e3nwjz","title":"Federal housing law restricts mega-investors.

Toast for Charity is hosting their event on Saturday, July 18th at the historic Pan African Connection in Oak Cliff. \n\n\n\nTheir objective is to introduce the kids of southern Dallas to the rich history of Black culture while also empowering childhood literacy. Come ready for reading, snacks, fun, and more. Registration for the free event is required.\n\n\n\n“Ready. Set. READ! is Toast for Charity’s signature early literacy program,” Dr. Lamar T. Quinn, Founder & Executive Director of Toast for Charity said. “We operate this initiative on one core belief: every single word shapes a lifetime. By providing bi-weekly story time sessions, gifting free books for home libraries, and bringing in passionate volunteer readers. Each session adds up to over 2,000 new words in a child’s growing vocabulary. This is how we build the foundation for readers, thinkers, and leaders long before they ever step into a third-grade classroom.”\n\n\n\nThe Ready. Set. Read! program tackles the literacy crisis head-on by pairing professionals with daycare and preschool-aged children, igniting a powerful love for reading from the very beginning. They said their goal is simple: to improve the transition from “learn to read” to “read to learn” by third grade and beyond. \n\n\n\nToast for Charity is a 501c3 nonprofit organization moving the younger generation to make a difference in their communities.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/something-good-newsletter/ready-set-read-story-time-with-toast-for-charity/4048511/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Laura Harris","publishDate":"2026-07-13T05:59:25.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fposter-frame-17.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"ready-set-read-story-time-with-toast-for-charity"},{"id":"f7ivtx","title":"Downtown Denton road closures Monday morning and afternoon","excerpt":"Parts of three roads will be closed in Denton on Monday, July 13.\n\n\n\nPortions of Hickory Street and Avenue A/Fry Street will experience temporary closures during the estimated times:\n\n\n\n-Hickory Street (between Elm and Locust) closed 6 to 11 a.m.\n\n\n\n-Avenue A/Fry Street (between Mulberry and Hick...","content":"Parts of three roads will be closed in Denton on Monday, July 13.\n\n\n\nPortions of Hickory Street and Avenue A/Fry Street will experience temporary closures during the estimated times:\n\n\n\n-Hickory Street (between Elm and Locust) closed 6 to 11 a.m.\n\n\n\n-Avenue A/Fry Street (between Mulberry and Hickory) closed 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.\n\n\n\nPlease avoid the area and be mindful of work crews.

We can bring more people into it and grow this thing,” Williams said.\n\n\n\nWilliams has appeared on a dozen seasons of American Ninja Warrior and has even been dubbed an All-Star on NBC’s hit show. \n\n\n\n“I always knew this sport was special, but now, it’s global. The Olympics really accelerates the adoption of this sport. It legitimizes the sport. The real thing. It opens up the door for more athletes to come in and see this thing really take off to the next level,” Williams said.\n\n\n\nThe American Ninja Warrior-style course will be the fifth event in the modern pentathlon, which includes: fencing, swimming, running and laser pistol shooting. The obstacle course will replace the equestrian show jumping portion.\n\n\n\nFor Williams, this has been a labor of love since he found the sport. \n\n\n\n“I learned about the sport from the TV show like everybody else, and so I applied and got on. I’ve been training and competing ever since,” Williams said.\n\n\n\nNow, it’s also about the next generation of Ninja Warriors. Williams has been working this summer with summer campers at a Ninja gym in Murphy. \n\n\n\nHe is also the creator of the Ninja Project Dallas. It’s a mobile entertainment experience for kids to see what the Warrior course is all about. Now that the course is in the Olympics, he said it’s not just training for the warrior, but potentially a future group of Olympians.\n\n\n\n“It really feels like it’s real. It’s something that is going to be here to stay. It’s going to build character and people wanting to come back to see what’s next,” Williams said.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/olympics/2028-los-angeles/american-ninja-warrior-style-course-making-olympic-debut-in-2028/4048484/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Laura Harris","publishDate":"2026-07-13T05:14:24.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fposter-frame-1783938687499.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"american-ninja-warrior-style-course-making-olympic-debut-in-2028"},{"id":"6zwoe8","title":"Bueckers' 22 points, 11 rebounds help Wings beat Sky, extend streak to 5","excerpt":"Paige Bueckers had 22 points and 11 assists, Jessica Shepard added 19 points and 10 rebounds, and the Dallas Wings beat the Chicago Sky 96-91 on Sunday.\n\n\n\nThe Wings (16-8) have won a season-high five straight games, their longest streak since also winning five in a row in 2023.\n\n\n\nArike Ogunbowa...","content":"Paige Bueckers had 22 points and 11 assists, Jessica Shepard added 19 points and 10 rebounds, and the Dallas Wings beat the Chicago Sky 96-91 on Sunday.\n\n\n\nThe Wings (16-8) have won a season-high five straight games, their longest streak since also winning five in a row in 2023.\n\n\n\nArike Ogunbowale scored 17 points and Azzi Fudd 16 for Dallas at the American Airlines Center, home of the NBA’s Mavericks, in front of a crowd of 13,236.\n\n\n\nLi Yueru had 10 points and a season-high 10 rebounds and slowed down Chicago’s Kamilla Cardoso after a hot start.

Two Alzheimer’s drugs, lecanemab and donanemab, try to clear buildup of the better-known amyloid protein and can modestly slow cognitive decline.\n\n\n\nThe new findings suggest Biogen’s diranersen did more than lower tau levels. The study of about 400 people found signs that it also slowed cognitive decline, in one small subset enough to be comparable to amyloid therapy, according to results presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in London. Biogen is planning a larger study to try to prove the drug’s benefit.\n\n\n\n“This is really quite promising if it were to hold up” in that next-step testing, said Jessica Langbaum of the Banner Alzheimer’s Institute in Phoenix, who wasn’t involved with Biogen’s study.\n\n\n\n“This is early days,” cautioned Dr. Reisa Sperling of Mass General Brigham, who also wasn’t involved in the study. But “I think it will reinvigorate interest and investment in lots of tau mechanisms, and the field needs that.”\n\n\n\nIt’s one of multiple novel attempts to fight the mind-destroying disease, including a possible tau vaccine, an experimental heart drug that might do double-duty for some people at high risk of Alzheimer’s, and ways to help medicines more easily get across the so-called blood-brain barrier.\n\n\n\n\n\nNew approaches are needed to fight the leading cause of dementia\n\n\n\nIt’s not clear exactly what causes Alzheimer’s, which affects more than 7 million Americans and tens of millions worldwide. That sticky amyloid protein starts building up to form plaques in the brain about two decades before symptoms appear. But amyloid alone isn’t enough to cause Alzheimer’s. Many scientists believe that amyloid buildup eventually triggers an abnormal form of tau to form tangles in neurons, setting off symptoms.\n\n\n\nDiranersen is what’s called an antisense oligonucleotide that doesn’t attack tau buildup but instead instructs a tau-producing gene to produce less.\n\n\n\n“If you lower tau production, you are lowering the amount of the abnormal tau that needs to be cleared by the microglia, by the clearance mechanism in the brain. And so you are enabling the normal clearance mechanism to have more capacity to clear the tau,” said Dr. Cath Mummery of University College London, who led the new study.\n\n\n\nToday’s anti-amyloid drugs are given through the bloodstream via infusions or injections. Diranersen is injected into the fluid surrounding the spinal cord, a straighter path to the brain.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tU.S. & World\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCelebrity News\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 1\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDanny Glover reveals Alzheimer's diagnosis and shares update on illness\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHealth\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tApr 27\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPatients say they want Alzheimer's blood tests.

Back in May, Biogen and partner Ionis Pharmaceuticals announced that the lowest dose — given every six months — had the strongest effect. That was a counterintuitive surprise and meant the study didn’t meet its planned goal of showing that higher doses brought greater benefits.\n\n\n\nStill, scientists had been anxiously awaiting details about how much that twice-a-year spinal shot really helped. Five of six different brain tests showed diranersen recipients’ memory and other cognitive abilities still worsened but more slowly than those given dummy shots, Mummery said. In one test of the lowest dose, that translated to a 26% reduction in cognitive decline — “approximately the same” change seen in earlier tests of amyloid drugs, she said.\n\n\n\nSide effects included injection site pain and a temporary state of confusion that could appear a few days after the shot and last about a week, she said. But there were no signs of brain inflammation, which can affect recipients of anti-amyloid drugs.\n\n\n\nAlzheimer’s researchers also target tau in a broad new study\n\n\n\nThe University of California, San Francisco, last week opened a first-of-its-kind study known as the Alzheimer’s Tau Platform. Funded by the National Institutes of Health, it will test a variety of experimental anti-tau therapies against and in combination with today’s amyloid treatments. First up is a vaccine called AADvac1 designed to train the immune system to recognize and fight a specific worrisome portion of the tau protein, said UCSF’s Dr. Adam Boxer.\n\n\n\nThe “platform” approach will expand to locations around the country, allow addition of other tau drugs to test and include people with Alzheimer’s-related protein buildup who aren’t yet showing symptoms, he said.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tIn the News\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHealth & Science\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 21, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCould cancer drugs be the future of Alzheimer's treatment?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHealth & Science\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 3, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe MIND diet may help reduce Alzheimer's risk, a large study shows\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvaccines\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tApr 2, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tShingles vaccine may protect against dementia, new study suggests\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nOther studies hint at new ways of attacking Alzheimer’s\n\n\n\nResearchers told the Alzheimer’s meeting that an experimental cholesterol-lowering drug called obicetrapib might do more than help heart health. They’re exploring if it also might lower buildup of Alzheimer’s-related proteins in people who carry a genetic risk for the disease. \n\n\n\nWhy? That gene, called APOE4, also affects how the body processes cholesterol. Obicetrapib maker NewAmsterdam Pharma plans to begin a study soon to test if the drug’s cholesterol effects also can mitigate the Alzheimer’s risk in people carrying one or two copies of that gene.\n\n\n\nCompanies also are trying to get Alzheimer’s drugs into the brain faster and at higher volumes, by penetrating the protective lining meant to protect the brain from harm. Denali Therapeutics’ CEO Ryan Watts describes it as “hitching a ride” with iron that naturally gets into the brain. His company is pursuing drugs that target tau and amyloid using that “transport vehicle” technology. \n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nThe Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

He’s charged with tampering with evidence with the intent to impair. \n\n\n\nDaniel Erving, 18, was picked up by friends to go fishing on the lake. His family said that after he left home, he never returned.\n\n\n\nErving’s family said he was a senior at Sachse High School, he was on the swim team and was an honor-roll student.\n\n\n\nTimeline leading up to Daniel’s body being recovered\n\n\n\n\nApril 14: Daniel’s mother filed a missing persons report with the Rowlett Police Department after she couldn’t get in contact with her son, who had left with friends to go fishing.\n\n\n\nApril 16: Rowlett Police issued a community alert online detailing Daniel’s disappearance. Police said Daniel was without several personal belongings, including his driver’s license and cash. Officials added that this was suspicious and uncommon behavior for Daniel, per his family.\n\n\n\nApril 17: Daniel’s body was recovered from the lake, four days after he went missing. \n\n\n\nJuly 9: Police arrested Lucas Roper in connection with the case.\n\n\n\n\nCivil rights activist groups criticize the handling of the case\n\n\n\nSince Daniel’s death, North Texas groups Next Generation Action Network and Justice Seekers have worked with the Erving family, pushing for transparency into the investigation. \n\n\n\n“The family believes the urgency they requested was not met during the critical early stages of the investigation,” Dominique Alexander, founder of Next Generation Action Network, said in an open letter to the Dallas Police Department that has now taken over the investigation. “In the time since, the silence and lack of communication have only deepened their worry that this case is not receiving the attention and diligence it demands.”\n\n\n\nDaniel’s mother said Rowlett police said they were unable to ping her son’s phone until after his body was recovered, due to privacy laws. She and other family members questioned what they call a delay in notifying the public that he was missing. After Daniel’s death, advocacy groups said one of the people Daniel was with before he died came forward and told police that what happened was an accident.\n\n\n\n“Daniel left home with somebody, went out there to Ray Hubbard Lake with somebody, but nobody called his mother … nor called 911,” Alexander said. “They have been met with delays, instead of accountability.”\n\n\n\nRowlett PD told NBC 5 that it cannot discuss the details of the case while the investigation is ongoing. Dallas Police also did not comment on the pending investigation.\n\n\n\nFamily attorneys announce independent investigation\n\n\n\nAs Daniel’s family mourns his loss, they now have a legal team working to get more answers on their behalf. Daredia Law on Sunday said its law firm will facilitate an independent investigation into Daniel’s death. \n\n\n\n“Nearly three months later, the only charge arising from his death is tampering with evidence,” the firm said. “The family and its attorneys are calling for accountability and a complete investigation that follows the evidence wherever it leads.”\n\n\n\nDaredia Law will provide an update on the case on Monday. \n\n\n\nThere is no attorney listed for Roper. As of Sunday afternoon, he is not listed as still being in jail.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/19-arrested-connection-north-texas-body-found-in-lake-daniel-erving/4048431/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Jala Washington","publishDate":"2026-07-12T20:01:06.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2F0_00-DFW_260626_99f18760a.mp4.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"arrest-made-months-after-sachse-high-senior-was-found-dead-in-lake-ray-hubbard"},{"id":"4aj74a","title":"E.

Jean Carroll has collected her $5 million judgment against President Donald Trump, more than three years after a jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her, court records show.\n\n\n\nThe money, which was being held in a court escrow account, has been “disbursed” to Carroll’s attorneys, the court filing shows. The amount totalled $5,625,005.48 with interest.\n\n\n\n“We are pleased to report that she has received the damages payment the jury awarded her as a result of that verdict, Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, confirmed in an emailed statement\n\n\n\nA spokesperson for Trump’s legal team said in a statement that “the American people stand with President Trump as they demand an immediate end to all of the Witch Hunts, including the Democrat-funded travesty of the Carroll Hoaxes. President Trump will keep winning against Liberal Lawfare, as he continues to focus on his mission to make America Great Again.”\n\n\n\nThe case arose from a 2022 suit Carroll filed in New York alleging Trump sexually assaulted her in the dressing room of a Manhattan department store after a chance encounter in 1996, and then defamed he after she came forward with her claims in 2019. Trump maintains he does not know Carroll and didn’t commit any wrongdoing.\n\n\n\nA jury found Trump liable in 2023 and awarded Carroll $5 million, but the money remained in the court fund while Trump filed various appeals.\n\n\n\nU.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan ordered the money to be turned over to Carroll earlier this month, after the U.S. Supreme Court denied Trump’s bid to hear his appeal.\n\n\n\nThe president’s attorneys unsuccessfully tried to block the disbursement, arguing their client faced “unrecoverable loss” once Carroll collects because she “has repeatedly stated that she intends to give away all funds that she collects from him,” and “once those funds are distributed to third parties, they likely cannot be recovered,” they said.\n\n\n\nIn a filing to the appeals court last week, Carroll’s attorneys said the money isn’t going anywhere, at least for the time being.\n\n\n\n“Carroll plans to use the money from this Judgment to fund her retirement, and will place the award in an interest-bearing account” at least until Trump’s bid to get the Supreme Court to reconsider hearing his appeal is resolved, the filing said.\n\n\n\nHer comments previously made about giving the money away “referred to Carroll’s intended use of the separate, $83 million judgment that she obtained against Trump” in a related defamation case, they added.\n\n\n\nTrump has asked the Supreme Court to hear his appeal in that case as well.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/e-jean-carroll-collects-5-million-trump-sexual-abuse-defamation-case/4049186/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Dareh Gregorian | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-14T10:50:11.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2177531981.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5796%2C3864","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"e-jean-carroll-collects-more-than-5-million-from-trump-in-sexual-abuse-and-defamation-case"},{"id":"x0os8s","title":"North Texas who found cycling losing weight for kidney donation to witness Tour de France","excerpt":"The prestigious Tour de France is underway.

The 21-day cycling race is famed for its scenic and challenging routes. \n\n\n\nNorth Texas has a strong biking community that’s watching the race from afar, but a man from Aubrey will get the chance of a lifetime to see the Tour de France up close and personal. \n\n\n\nTim Connor, 50, became a cycling enthusiast after deciding to donate a kidney to a neighbor while he was living in Oklahoma.\n\n\n\n“During COVID, I started riding my bike more consistently so I could lose some weight in order to be able to donate a kidney to a neighbor,” said Connor.\n\n\n\nThat act of selflessness turned into a love for cycling. Now, Connor is an avid rider who takes part in group rides when he’s not working.\n\n\n\nLater on this month, he’ll pack up his bike and call France home for 10 days to watch the Tour de France and ride in parts of the country. \n\n\n\n“So this year I turned 50-years-old, and on my bucket list was to actually go to the Tour de France this year. So somehow I’ve talked my wife into a bucket list trip to France,” He explained.\n\n\n\nConnor, who is a husband, father and grandfather, is celebrating more than just his trip around the sun.\n\n\n\nI’ll get to join the final stages of the Tour de France this year, while also celebrating our anniversary and doing some other things while we’re in France. So I am super excited in the coming weeks to be able to be a part of the tour live and in person,” said Connor as he chuckled with excitement. \n\n\n\nHe and his wife, Julie, are marking 27 years of marriage.\n\n\n\n “Every time I choose to do a ride out on the road, I’m not doing that with my wife; she’s not a cyclist. So being able to put together a trip that is obviously celebrating an anniversary and doing something that she loves, hiking through the mountains and then being able to do the part that I love, which is cycling for the entire day around the Tour de France, we are so excited and looking forward to this trip,” said Connor. \n\n\n\nStage 8 of the Tour de France will air on NBC 5 on Saturday, July 11. People can watch the remaining stages daily on Peacock.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/north-texas-man-attends-tour-de-france/4048357/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Sophia Beausoleil","publishDate":"2026-07-12T09:55:39.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Ftour-de-france-bucket-list.png%3Ffit%3D1254%2C705%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"north-texas-who-found-cycling-losing-weight-for-kidney-donation-to-witness-tour-de-france"},{"id":"c6tddn","title":"Rangers' draft plan neatly falls into place as Texas finds big-time value on Day 1","excerpt":"How’d draft day go for the Rangers?Well, let’s put it this way: They got the guy on whom they’d spent significant discussion for their first-round pick.

Only they got him in the second round. Then they got a 6-9 lefty who hits 100 mph and was ranked as a top 25 talent in the third round.\n\n\n\nHope may not be a strategy, but serendipity will always work. \n\n\n\nIn the first round, the Rangers took 19-year-old lefty Gio Rojas, considered the top high school pitcher in the draft at No. 16. Rojas had been considered a top 10 or top 12 pick, but with what was considered a deep draft pool, several teams above them chose to go for “value” picks that will likely allow them to spend more deeply into the draft. It left Rojas, who pitched at the same Florida high school as Jesus Luzardo, for the Rangers.\n\n\n\n“In our estimation, he was the best pitcher in the draft,” Rangers scouting director Kip Fagg said. “His pedigree is among the best. We thought there was a limited chance that Gio would get to us. I was surprised he was there.”\n\n\n\nIt was so surprising it made them postpone talks — but only temporarily — with 17-year-old infielder Connor Comeau of Austin, who had wowed club officials during a recent workout and had worked his way into the conversation if the Rangers chose to go with a money-saving value pick in the first round. Alas, Comeau was still sitting there in the second round when the Rangers’ pick came up at No. 54. There was no hesitation. When a plan falls together this neatly, there is no need to do more reflecting.\n\n\n\nClick here to read more on this report from our partners at The Dallas Morning News.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/red-fever/rangers-draft-plan-neatly-falls-into-place-as-texas-finds-big-time-value-on-day-1/4048279/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Evan Grant, Staff Writer | The Dallas Morning News","publishDate":"2026-07-11T21:02:58.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2285067903.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D7855%2C5237","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"rangers-draft-plan-neatly-falls-into-place-as-texas-finds-big-time-value-on-day-1"},{"id":"i57cvy","title":"Wilmer's newly reelected mayor resigns without explanation after 6 years on the job","excerpt":"The Mayor of Wilmer, Sheila Petta, decided to step down effective immediately.\n\n\n\nPetta submitted her resignation letter Friday morning, calling serving the residents of Wilmer “one of the greatest honors” of her life.\n\n\n\nHer resignation letter read, “It is with mixed emotions that I submit my re...","content":"The Mayor of Wilmer, Sheila Petta, decided to step down effective immediately.\n\n\n\nPetta submitted her resignation letter Friday morning, calling serving the residents of Wilmer “one of the greatest honors” of her life.\n\n\n\nHer resignation letter read, “It is with mixed emotions that I submit my resignation as Mayor of the City of Wilmer, effective July 10, 2026.

And that’s where the decisions were coming from. What was going to be best for Brendan Sorsby,” McGuire said. “I’ve never been through anything like this when it comes to coaching, and I’ve been doing it for 32 years.”\n\n\n\nMcGuire still expects Sorsby to have a future in the NFL.\n\n\n\n“I think he’s doing good. You know, this year is going to be really hard, but I think he’s going to attack it from the standpoint, not just as a player,” McGuire said. “He has a problem. And, I don’t know about you, but I’ve been around addiction. You know, I’ve had addicts in my family. And so, you know, you’ve got to really deal with it every single day and find ways to not relapse. And so I think there’s a real chance of growth this year… And somebody’s going to take him next year really early. And they’re going to get a really good person and a really good quarterback.”\n\n\n\nMcGuire also addressed the backlash he’s faced. \n\n\n\n“We’ll see how it goes whenever the ball is kicked off. But I think because the majority of my peers and people that I really trust and mentor, you know, they were there. I mean, like I said, Eric Morris called me and he said, man, I don’t want to ask anything other than, how are you? Like, are you good? You know, he’s a West Texas guy. He’s a Red Raider,” McGuire said.\n\n\n\nMcGuire also doubled down on his belief that Tech and Texas should play each other at Big 12 media days Tuesday at the Ford Center. The topic was initially broached two months ago when, after Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian took a swipe at Tech’s strength of schedule, McGuire said that he’d “love” to play the in-state powerhouse. He even reportedly spoke to Abilene Christian and Texas State — the two programs’ respective Week 1 opponents — about a potential buyout to clear the schedule for a nationally ranked showdown.\n\n\n\n“Spot the ball, man, we’re ready to go right now,” McGuire said Tuesday afternoon. “We’ll play tomorrow. We don’t need any film study or anything like that, and I know they don’t either.”\n\n\n\nThe Longhorns and Red Raiders used to play regularly when both were Big 12 conference members, but after the former left for the SEC two years ago, the in-state rivalry ended. McGuire, who also praised Sarkisian as a coach and play-caller, urged for that game’s return as well as other local showdowns. \n\n\n\nClick here to read more on this report from our partners at The Dallas Morning News.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/ncaaf/texas-techs-mcguire-doubles-down-on-his-desire-to-immediately-renew-rivalry-with-texas/4048222/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Shawn McFarland, Staff Writer | The Dallas Morning News, Newy Scruggs and Charle","publishDate":"2026-07-11T19:03:13.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2F49541701693-1080pnbcstations.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"techs-mcguire-talks-brendan-sorsby-drama-desire-to-renew-texas-rivalry-game"},{"id":"mh9zgb","title":"World Cup inspires cross-cultural conversations at TCU medical school","excerpt":"A new class of students at the TCU Barnett School of Medicine is about to start.

The road repair could take longer.\n\n\n\n“It probably will be Monday before we can make the road repair,” Gugliuzza said.\n\n\n\nThe Fort Worth Water Department said rain on Monday morning would delay when the repairs can be done.\n\n\n\n“We have a 6-inch cast iron water main break,” Gugliuzza said. “It’s at the intersection of Horn Street and Camp Bowie Boulevard.” \n\n\n\nGugliuzza said the issue is likely aging infrastructure – an issue the city has been addressing over the last year. Gugliuzza did not know the exact age of the broken pipe. \n\n\n\n“We have over 700 miles of cast iron water mains of various sizes, from about six inches up to as large as 36 inches in our system,” Gugliuzza said. ” We have roughly just under 200 miles, somewhere around 200 miles of Cast Iron Pipe that is either in design or in construction at this point in time. So we are making progress, but it’s just going to take a while, because you have to go through the engineering designs on the replacements before you can ever go to construction. There’s timing involved in that as well, and of course available funding plays a role in all of this as well.”\n\n\n\nThe break was reported around 12:30 p.m. The break was repaired and temporary street repair was completed around 7 a.m. on Sunday.\n\n\n\n“It’s gonna vary slightly from year to year, but it’s usually somewhere between 85 and 90% of our main breaks each year are on cast-iron mains,” Gugliuzza said.\n\n\n\nThe city will not know how much water leaked until the process is complete.\n\n\n\nThe city is asking everyone to avoid the area for the time being.\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/fort-worth-water-main-break-on-camp-bowie-blvd/4048175/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Tahera Rahman and Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-07-11T16:56:07.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fposter-frame-1783807475894-e1783807543273.png%3Ffit%3D602%2C336%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"fort-worth-water-main-break-near-camp-bowie-blvd-road-repairs-could-take-days"},{"id":"1u3fqh","title":"Who will lead DART?

They held a meet and greet at DART headquarters in Downtown Dallas Saturday afternoon.\n\n\n\nThe board will vote on a finalist on Tuesday, July 14 at 6 p.m.\n\n\n\nThe finalists come from a variety of transit backgrounds, each with extensive public service and experience.\n\n\n\nThe finalists are Monica Téllez-Fowler, CEO of the Central Ohio Transit Authority; Nathaniel P. Ford Sr., CEO of the Jacksonville Transportation Authority in Florida; and Dee Leggett, former executive vice president and chief development officer at DART.\n\n\n\nTéllez-Fowler joined the greater Columbus, Ohio, area transportation agency in 2023, according to COTA’s website, and formerly worked for an agency in Vancouver, Wash. She has roots in Texas, having served as chief financial officer of Trinity Metro in Fort Worth and earned degrees from Texas A&M University and Tarleton State University.\n\n\n\nFord began his career at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in New York before leading San Francisco and Atlanta transit agencies. He has served as CEO of the Jacksonville Transportation Authority for more than 13 years. Florida media outlets reported this week he plans to step down Jan. 8, 2027.\n\n\n\nmuni_141_mac.jpg  MUNI had over 100 people passsing out apology flyer today, including Jamie Osborne at the Embarcadero Station. The letter began: Dear Muni Customers- “On behalf of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, (SFMTA), I would like to express our apologies for the frustrations you have experienced with Muni over the last few days.”   The letter went on and was signed by Nathaniel P. Ford, Executive director/CEO SFMTA.  MUNI Exec. Director Nat Ford kept a close watch on the evening commute at the Embarcader station, while talking with people about the train service over the past few days.

As part of our commitment to transparency and community engagement, we’re asking the public for feedback from our meet & greet on Saturday to inform the final decision.” \n\n\n\nThe onboarding schedule for the new President & CEO is dynamic based on who is selected and the outcome of negotiations. Current Interim President & CEO David Leininger will continue to oversee the agency while the transition takes place.\n\n\n\nThe agency’s next chief executive will inherit a system still working to rebuild trust with member cities while navigating major changes to governance, funding and service.\n\n\n\nFormer CEO Nadine Lee stepped down amid tension with DART’s member cities like Addison, Highland Park, and University Park. All three cities threatened to leave if the transit agency was not changed; Highland Park eventually did vote to leave.

Maura Healey and Mayor Michelle Wu, who both paid tribute to the Tartan Army fan group’s spirit of generous fun that took over the city as Scotland’s national team played two games at Boston Stadium. \n\n\n\n“The peaceful invasion of the Tartan Army has transformed our city and we are not going to let you all go,” Wu said. \n\n\n\nAs part of that invasion, fans imported a tradition of placing traffic cones on statues. The cone honored Tuesday — which flew over first class the day before — went viral back home after it was placed on Glasgow’s most famous statue, an equestrian piece depicting the Duke of Wellington.\n\n\n\nAndrew Dobbie said he was inspired to make out of FOMO, or the fear of missing out, “because every video on my feed was the Tartan Army having the most fun out in Boston.” \n\n\n\nA Glasgow traffic cone flying to Boston from Scotland.

On a yearly basis, inflation declined to 3.5%, down from a year-over-year gain of 4.2% in May and lower than many economists expected.\n\n\n\nYet oil prices rose for a second day Tuesday as the United States renewed attacks on Iran and President Donald Trump announced a new blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for about one-fifth of the world’s oil. And many Americans have soured on the economy after five years of elevated inflation, posing a risk to Trump and Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStill, excluding the food and energy categories, core prices were unchanged in June, a positive sign that underlying inflation is cooling. On a yearly basis, core prices rose just 2.6%, down from 2.9% the previous month. Core inflation remains above the Fed’s target of 2%.\n\n\n\nA wider range of prices cooled last month than economists had forecast. Electricity prices, which have been elevated by spiking demand from data centers, fell 1% from May to June, though they are still 4% higher than a year ago. Clothing prices dropped 0.6% from May to June but are 3.9% more expensive than a year earlier.\n\n\n\nGroceries rose 0.2% from May to June and are up 2.7% from last year, while apartment rental costs cooled, rising just 0.1% last month and 2.8% from a year ago.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe inflation-fighters at the Fed remain sharply divided over next steps, according to minutes of their June 16-17 meeting. About half of policymakers support raising interest rates by the end of the year to cool borrowing, spending, and price increases, the minutes showed. Another half are willing to wait for signs that inflation may resume falling as gas prices decline, though the minutes predate the recent flare-up of violence in the Middle East.\n\n\n\nFed Chair Kevin Warsh, in written testimony to the House Financial Services Committee, said Tuesday that the Fed has “no tolerance” for high inflation which he pledged would become “a thing of the past.” Warsh will face questions later Tuesday from members of Congress.\n\n\n\nAnd the situation in the Middle East continues to change hour to hour. On Tuesday, the price for a barrel of Brent crude oil, the international standard, climbed 4.6% to $87.13 after the United States and Iran each said the Strait of Hormuz is under its control.\n\n\n\nA slowdown in inflation could take some pressure off the Federal Reserve to raise its key rate, which it typically does to cool spending and price increases. Warsh, who took over May 22, has underscored that the Fed is tightly focused on getting inflation back to its target of 2%, though he has declined to signal what the Fed’s next steps will be.\n\n\n\nMany of those officials have said massive investments in the buildout of artificial intelligence infrastructure could also worsen inflation by pushing up prices for memory chips and other semiconductors, as well as electricity. As a result, companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Dell have announced price increases for laptops, tablets, and video game consoles.\n\n\n\nOn Monday, Fed governor Christopher Waller said he was worried about core inflation, which he noted had risen from 3% last December to 3.4% in May, according to the Fed’s preferred measure, which uses data from the consumer price index. He pointed out that the cost of more than two-thirds of services have risen by 3% or more compared with a year ago.\n\n\n\n\n\nWaller had favored cutting rates early this year, but is now warning a hike could be needed.\n\n\n\n“If we get another hot reading on core inflation this week, then the (Fed) will need to consider tightening monetary policy in the near term,” Waller said in a speech in New York.\n\n\n\nGas prices have fallen nearly 20% from their peak in late May but have rebounded in the past week, likely in response to renewed fighting in the Middle East. Gas prices averaged $3.86 a gallon nationwide Tuesday, up 6 cents from a week earlier. They averaged $4.09 a month ago, according to AAA.\n\n\n\nOther signs of where prices are headed are mixed. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York said last week that a survey found that nearly half the companies in its region that have paid tariffs still plan to lift their prices further.\n\n\n\nSeparately, Walmart last week said it was rolling back prices on thousands of items, including ground beef, potato chips, toys, and clothes. President Donald Trump praised the move on social media and sought to take credit for the reduction, though the company did not mention Trump in its announcement.\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/june-inflation-cools-fuel-iran-war-progress/4049099/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Christopher Rugaber | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-14T08:07:58.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Funrecognizable-woman-using-gas-pump-to-add-fuel-to-1388054817-Getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D6240%2C4160","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"falling-gas-prices-cut-inflation-in-june-but-renewal-of-iran-war-could-limit-progress"},{"id":"x0tku","title":"National Hurricane Center flags area in Gulf to watch this weekend","excerpt":"The National Hurricane Center has flagged an area to watch in the Gulf of America this weekend.","content":"The National Hurricane Center has flagged an area to watch in the Gulf of America this weekend.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/weather/national-hurricane-center-area-to-watch-gulf-texas","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Aaron.Barker@fox.com (Aaron Barker)","publishDate":"2026-07-15T16:14:17.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox26houston.com%2Fwww.fox26houston.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fgulf-area-to-watch.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"national-hurricane-center-flags-area-in-gulf-to-watch-this-weekend"},{"id":"h0ce8m","title":"U.S. restores blockade in response to Iran's attacks on ships on Strait of Hormuz","excerpt":"The U.S. military said Tuesday that it has reimposed its blockade of Iranian ports in response to Iran’s attacks on commercial ships on the Strait of Hormuz, as the interim ceasefire deal unravels and concerns grow about a return to all-out war.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. first imposed the blockade in mid-April...","content":"The U.S. military said Tuesday that it has reimposed its blockade of Iranian ports in response to Iran’s attacks on commercial ships on the Strait of Hormuz, as the interim ceasefire deal unravels and concerns grow about a return to all-out war.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. first imposed the blockade in mid-April and then lifted it in mid-June, a day after the signing of the interim deal aimed at permanently ending the war. The deal set a 60-day timeline to also negotiate an agreement on Iran’s nuclear program, but talks have stalled as fighting over the strait has intensified.\n\n\n\nWhen U.S. President Donald Trump announced the return of the blockade Monday, he also said he would impose a 20% fee on ships passing through the strait. But he dropped the plan to collect fees hours before resuming the blockade, citing requests from allies in the Gulf.\n\n\n\nAnother wave of U.S. strikes on Iran, and Iranian attacks on shipping and American allies, left an interim peace deal in tatters.\n\n\n\nThat agreement was supposed to reopen a waterway that is key to world energy supplies and give negotiators time to hammer out a permanent end to the war. Instead, fighting has once again engulfed the region, threatened the global economy and brought warnings to commercial airlines.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. carried out another wave of strikes ahead of its planned reimposition of a blockade on Iran’s ports, a U.S. official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive military operation. Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi, said in an interview aired Tuesday by IRIB, Iran’s state broadcaster, that the U.S. was seeking to prevent Tehran from exercising what he described as “effective sovereignty” over the Strait of Hormuz.\n\n\n\nA fifth of all traded crude oil and natural gas passed through the Strait of Hormuz before the war, when it was open to all without tolls. When the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28, it effectively shut the passage by attacking and threatening ships — a tactic that proved its greatest strategic advantage. That sent the price of oil, fertilizer and other goods soaring.\n\n\n\nIran has more recently attacked ships moving through the strait on a route overseen by the U.S. military that is outside Tehran’s control, setting off tit-for-tat strikes. The U.S. has threatened to reopen the strait by force — but experts say that would require a much bigger armada if not tens of thousands of ground troops.\n\n\n\nTrump says he’s replacing the fees with Gulf investments\n\n\n\nOn Monday, Trump said the U.S. would reimpose a blockade on Iranian ports and begin charging ships fees equivalent to 20% of their cargo to defray the costs of securing the strait. He backed off on the fees a day later, while the blockade is set to come back into force in the coming hours.\n\n\n\n“Based on highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership, I have decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States,” Trump said on social media.\n\n\n\nThe president said the investments “will be MASSIVE,” though it’s unclear if these would be new commitments relative to what Trump announced after a visit last year to the Middle East.\n\n\n\nStrikes and counterstrikes resume across the Mideast\n\n\n\nThe U.S. military’s Central Command said it struck several areas in Iran, targeting “coastal defense systems, missile and drone sites and maritime capabilities.” Iran acknowledged the strikes but provided no immediate casualty or damage assessments.\n\n\n\n“These strikes will continue imposing a heavy cost on Iranian forces and degrade their ability to attack innocent civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz,” the U.S. military said.\n\n\n\nIran responded with attacks targeting Bahrain, Jordan and three tankers that traveled through the strait. Kuwait’s military said it was responding to an aerial attack without providing further details.\n\n\n\nTwo of the ships were associated with the United Arab Emirates and were set ablaze for a time. The International Maritime Organization said the attack on the tankers Mombasa and Al Bahiyah killed two mariners and wounded 14 others. The Emirates threatened to retaliate.\n\n\n\nDutch shipping firm Stolt Tankers said that one of its ships came under attack. The attack on the Stolt Magnesium off Oman sparked a fire in the engine room, but the company said all the mariners were safe.\n\n\n\nIran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard said the Mombasa and Al Bahiyah “ignored repeated warnings.” Iran has targeted ships that use a route through the strait that passes near Oman outside of its territorial waters.\n\n\n\nHours after the U.S. said it ended its campaign of strikes, the Iranian city of Bushehr on the Persian Gulf was hit in at least four locations, the state-run IRNA news agency reported. The attacks again raised the possibility that Gulf Arab states were retaliating against Iran without discussing it in public.\n\n\n\nThe European Union Aviation Safety Agency warned airlines against operating in the airspace of Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, as well as over the Gulf of Oman.\n\n\n\nIt said in a bulletin that “unpredictable military developments, combined with the possible use of missiles, drones, combat aircraft and air-defense systems, create a high risk to civil flights.”\n\n\n\nThe interim peace deal is in peril\n\n\n\nExchanges of fire in recent days had already cast doubt on the interim peace deal — now almost halfway through the 60-day period in which negotiators were supposed to agree to a final accord, which also was meant to address Iran’s disputed nuclear program and other issues.\n\n\n\nBut Trump’s vow to impose a blockade further imperils it. Washington lifted a blockade it imposed in mid-April as part of the deal. The U.S. military said it will resume it at midnight Wednesday in Dubai.\n\n\n\nTrump’s plan to charge fees would have been a change to longstanding U.S. policy and a departure from recent U.S. promises that the strait would remain open to all without tolls — recently offered by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on a trip to the region.\n\n\n\nUnder the interim deal, Iran agreed that passage through the strait would remain free of charge for 60 days — but the agreement left open what would happen after. Iran asserts it has the right to manage traffic through the strait and potentially charge fees. The U.S. has disputed that.\n\n\n\nThe price for a barrel of Brent crude oil, the international standard, briefly topped $87 early Tuesday, still well below the nearly $120 reached at the height of the war but threatening to raise costs everywhere. The price dipped to $78 in the aftermath of Trump’s announcement that he had changed course.\n\n\n\nMediators are trying to prevent a return to full-scale war\n\n\n\nRegional mediators are still trying to get the United States and Iran back to the negotiating table, according to two regional officials.\n\n\n\nThe officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the delicate diplomatic process, said Pakistan-led mediation was working around the clock to reactivate the ceasefire.\n\n\n\nMeanwhile, Lebanese and Israeli delegations were expected to meet in Rome on Tuesday to continue U.S.-mediated negotiations. Shortly after the U.S. and Israel launched the war on Feb. 28, the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah joined the conflict in support of its ally, Iran, and began attacking Israel. Israel responded with a ground invasion of Lebanon.\n\n\n\nLast month, Lebanon and Israel announced a “framework agreement” outlining the withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon in exchange for the disarmament of Hezbollah. Implementation has stalled.\n\n\n\nBefore the fighting around the strait intensified, Israel’s war against Hezbollah in Lebanon repeatedly threatened to derail the interim deal. A truce now exists in Lebanon, but it remains unclear whether it will hold if the U.S. and Iran return to full-scale war.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/us-attacks-iran-retaliates-control-strait-hormuz/4048998/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Jon Gambrell | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-14T04:59:56.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2285299107.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2467%2C1645","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"us-restores-blockade-in-response-to-irans-attacks-on-ships-on-strait-of-hormuz"},{"id":"wtmj8d","title":"The 7 best foods to eat to support bone density midlife, according to a doctor","excerpt":"It’s never too early to start protecting your bone health.

After this point, bones gradually become weaker with age.\n\n\n\nBone density refers to how porous our bones are, measured by the amount of calcium and other minerals. Think of your bones as a sponge, Dr. Ian Smith, physician and author of “Eat Your Age,” tells TODAY.com.\n\n\n\nThe less bone mineral density, the more holes and gaps, Smith explains. As we age, this raises the risk of osteoporosis.\n\n\n\nBone loss can start as early as your 20s, says Smith. That’s why it’s important to start “feeding” our bones as early as possible. Here are the foods, and nutrients, to prioritize:\n\n\n\nNutrition tip of the day: Eat foods rich in calcium and vitamin D to protect bone density\n\n\n\n“I think everyone understands that calcium is important for bones. But what people often don’t understand, or miss out on, is the importance of vitamin D,” says Smith.\n\n\n\nCalcium helps build strong bones and teeth, but vitamin D helps the gut absorb it. “If calcium is the bricks, vitamin D is the delivery truck that gets it where it needs to go,” says Smith.\n\n\n\nThe top sources of calcium include dairy products, says Smith, along with calcium-fortified plant milks and soy. The foods highest in vitamin D include fatty fish and fortified milk.\n\n\n\nHere are the top foods Smith recommends to protect bone density:\n\n\n\n\nYogurt\n\n\n\nMilk\n\n\n\nSoy milk\n\n\n\nCottage cheese\n\n\n\nSalmon\n\n\n\nSardines\n\n\n\nTofu\n\n\n\n\n“You don’t have to eat these together, you can have them separately, and it doesn’t matter what time of the day, as long as you’re getting them both in,” says Smith.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDiet & Exercise\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 9\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA dietitian's No. 1 plant-based protein to eat during menopause\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDiet & Exercise\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJan 10\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStrength training is crucial after menopause.

If you don’t feed them and support them, they weaken,” says Smith.\n\n\n\nA common mistake Smith sees people make is only increasing calcium intake for bone density, without getting more vitamin D to absorb and use the mineral — and most Americans already fall short on the sunshine vitamin. (About one-third of adults in the U.S. are deficient in vitamin D, per the Cleveland Clinic.)\n\n\n\nIf you eat calcium-rich foods without sufficient vitamin D levels, the body can only absorb 10-15% of the calcium. “If you have adequate amounts of vitamin D, that calcium absorption increases up to 40%,” says Smith.\n\n\n\n“Calcium and vitamin D are partners in maximizing bone health,” says Smith. That’s why it’s crucial to prioritize both in your diet, especially in midlife.\n\n\n\nCompared to supplements, whole foods provide other nutrients that promote bone density, including protein, magnesium, vitamin C and vitamin K, says Smith.\n\n\n\nHow to get started\n\n\n\nMost people should aim to consume 1,000 milligrams of calcium per day, but women over 50 and adults over 70 need 1,200 milligrams per day, per the National Institutes of Health.\n\n\n\nThe recommended intake for vitamin D is 15 micrograms (600 IU) for adults and 20 micrograms (800 IU) for adults ages 70 and older.\n\n\n\nIt’s possible to get enough calcium and vitamin D from food alone, Smith says. If you have concerns, talk to your doctor.\n\n\n\nHere are some meal ideas to get you started:\n\n\n\n\nSmoothie with yogurt, milk and fruit\n\n\n\nCanned sardine salad\n\n\n\nRoast salmon with creamed spinach\n\n\n\nTofu veggie stir fry\n\n\n\nLabneh toast with smoked salmon\n\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

He took similar actions during his first term, but those were reversed by President Joe Biden, a Democrat.\n\n\n\nThe latest move comes as Trump and other Republicans have drastically reshaped the management of vast taxpayer-owned lands concentrated in Western states. Trump administration officials and congressional Republicans have sought to expand drilling, mining and logging on public lands, while removing protections for imperiled species and rolling back rules for conservation.\n\n\n\n“They took the land from the people quite honestly,” Trump said at a signing event at the White House Monday. “We’re giving it back.”\n\n\n\nPresident Bill Clinton, a Democrat, established Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in 1996, and President Barack Obama, also a Democrat, created Bears Ears National Monument in 2016 under the Antiquities Act. The 1906 law gives presidents the powers to protect sites considered historic, archaeologically significant or culturally important.\n\n\n\nDavina Smith-Idjesa, a citizen of the Navajo Nation and co-chair of the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition, said tribal leaders had braced for a reduction since Trump was elected to a second term. She said it was “heartbreaking” and accused federal officials of sidestepping their legal responsibility to consult with tribal nations that would be impacted.\n\n\n\n“From a Navajo perspective, Bears Ears is not simply a piece of federal public land,” Smith-Idjesa said. “This is a living cultural site that holds our histories, our ceremonies, our traditional foods and medicines and our ancestors’ footprints.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n‘Big day for Utah’\n\n\n\nUtah officials had long fought against the monument designations and argued that the state should be in charge of controlling its own lands. Trump in his first term reduced their size, calling their creation a “massive land grab.” Combined they spanned more than 3.2 million acres (13 million hectares), an area nearly the size of Connecticut. \n\n\n\nTrump reduced them Monday to less than 303,000 acres (123,000 hectares) combined.\n\n\n\nThat’s a greater reduction than his first term, when he left Grand Staircase Escalante at 1 million acres (405,000 hectares) and Bears Ears at 213,000 acres (86,000 hectares).\n\n\n\n“This is a big day for Utah,” Utah Gov. Spencer Cox as he stood next to Trump at the White House. “These monument designations are supposed to be the smallest area as possible to protect the antiquities.”\n\n\n\nBears Ears was the first national monument created at the request of tribal nations that consider the land sacred. The landscape contains ancestral villages, ceremonial and burial sites and features in some tribes’ creation and migration stories. Its designation honored five tribes in the region — Navajo, Hopi, Zuni, Ute Mountain Ute and Uintah-Ouray Ute. \n\n\n\nHome to hundreds of thousands of objects of cultural and scientific significance, Bears Ears is jointly managed by an agreement between tribal nations and federal agencies.\n\n\n\nNewspaper Rock, featuring a rock panel of petroglyphs in the Indian Creek Area, is seen near Monticello, Utah, on July 14, 2016. \n\n\n\nGrand Staircase-Escalante consists of cliffs, canyons, natural arches and archaeological sites, including rock paintings. It holds large coal reserves, while the Bears Ears area has uranium. \n\n\n\nThe national monument designation provides sweeping protections not just for significant geological features or artifacts but also for the surrounding landscape, banning drilling, mining and new construction nearby. Proponents of Trump’s move to downsize say the protective boundaries stretch too far and hinder mining for critical minerals.\n\n\n\nTrump asserted Monday that people can not hunt, fish or “virtually not even walk” on the monuments. That’s false: Hunting, fishing, camping and other recreation are permitted under state and federal regulations, said Steve Bloch, legal director for the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, a conservation group.\n\n\n\nBiden designated or expanded more than a dozen monuments and had a goal to conserve at least 30% of U.S. lands and waters by 2030.\n\n\n\nTrump’s policies are largely the opposite: He wants to tap into the natural resource wealth of federal lands that total more than 100,000 square miles (260,000 square kilometers) and offshore areas under federal control, such as in the Gulf of Mexico and off Alaska.\n\n\n\nThat’s drawn backlash from Democrats who warn of the wholesale disposal of treasured landscapes for commercial gain.\n\n\n\n“Today’s executive action is another chapter in this administration’s war on the West,” Democratic Sen. Martin Heinrich of New Mexico said Monday. He added that Trump was “turning the Antiquities Act on its head.”\n\n\n\nLand sale proposals fell flat\n\n\n\nTrump Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said last year that federal officials would review and consider redrawing monument boundaries as part of a push to expand U.S. energy production. \n\n\n\nTrump in his current term has used proclamations to lift commercial fishing prohibitions within expansive marine monuments in areas of the Pacific Ocean and in the Atlantic Ocean off the New England coast. Those monuments were created by Democratic and Republican administrations. The effort to boost the fishing industry, which has been challenged in court, marks a dramatic shift in federal policy by prioritizing commercial interests over efforts to allow the fish supply to increase.\n\n\n\nSome Republicans have tried to sell or transfer federal lands to states or other entities. Those efforts have largely fallen flat: A push by some GOP lawmakers in the House to sell public lands ran into bipartisan opposition, while another proposal by Sen. Mike Lee of Utah to sell more than 3,200 square miles (8,300 square kilometers) of federal lands was removed from Republicans’ big tax and spending bill.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. Supreme Court last year turned back a lawsuit from Utah officials who sought to wrest control of vast areas of public land within the state from the federal government. \n\n\n\n__\n\n\n\nHannah Schoenbaum reported from Salt Lake City.\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/trump-reduces-size-national-monuments-utah/4048988/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Matthew Brown and Savannah Peters | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-14T01:12:57.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26194632078390.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3600%2C2400","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"trump-reduces-size-of-2-national-monuments-in-utah-as-republicans-reshape-land-management"},{"id":"y6pmhf","title":"The No. 1 plant-based protein to boost heart health, according to a dietitian","excerpt":"Plant-based proteins don’t just provide the muscle-building macronutrient, they’re also packed with other nutrients to support your health — including heart health.\n\n\n\n“Fiber is the most important nutrient for heart health because it lowers cholesterol,” says Natalie Rizzo, registered dietitian a...","content":"Plant-based proteins don’t just provide the muscle-building macronutrient, they’re also packed with other nutrients to support your health — including heart health.\n\n\n\n“Fiber is the most important nutrient for heart health because it lowers cholesterol,” says Natalie Rizzo, registered dietitian and TODAY nutrition editor. Soluble fiber can actually “cling” to LDL “bad” cholesterol and prevent the body from absorbing it into the bloodstream, Rizzo said previously.\n\n\n\nSo, choosing plant-based proteins that are also rich in fiber can help support your heart health while also helping you stay full and build muscle.\n\n\n\nAlthough you won’t find fiber in animal proteins, there are many plant protein options that also pack a lot of this crucial nutrient. On top of that, some plant proteins also contain other nutrients that support your heart health, like anti-inflammatory omega-3s, Rizzo notes.\n\n\n\nHere are a few of her favorite heart-healthy plant proteins.\n\n\n\nThe best plant-based protein to support heart health\n\n\n\nBlack beans\n\n\n\nRizzo says black beans top her list of plant-based proteins that support heart health because they’re full of fiber. A half-cup serving of these tasty beans packs about 8 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber, TODAY.com explained previously.\n\n\n\nAs you might guess from their dark color, black beans are also rich in antioxidant plant compounds called anthocyanins. These compounds give the beans their characteristic color and have anti-inflammatory properties. You’ll also find a variety of flavonoids in black beans, which can help support long-term health, including heart health, dietitians said previously.\n\n\n\nTry whipping up some of Rizzo’s high-protein favorites, like black bean quesadillas or breakfast burritos, to get the wealth of nutrients in these beans.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDiet & Exercise\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 9\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA dietitian's No. 1 plant-based protein to eat during menopause\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDiet & Exercise\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 1\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe No. 1 plant-based protein to help build and maintain muscle, according to a dietitian\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nAlmonds\n\n\n\nAlmonds came it at the top of Rizzo’s list of high-protein nuts — and her list of high-fiber nuts. With about 6 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber per 1-ounce serving, a handful of these nuts will keep you full while boosting heart health.\n\n\n\nIn addition to their protein and fiber, almonds are also a good source of vitamin E, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that support your health in many ways. That includes heart-protective properties that ensure healthy circulation, TODAY.com explained previously.\n\n\n\nOf course, you can eat plain almonds as a heart-healthy snack. But you can also use them in a tasty, homemade trail mix (or even trail mix cookies) to satisfy cravings during the day or even add sliced almonds to your morning oatmeal or Greek yogurt for added crunch.\n\n\n\nOther heart-healthy plant proteins to try\n\n\n\nHemp seeds\n\n\n\nThese seeds may be tiny, but they’re mighty. They are one of the seeds with the most protein and anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, Rizzo says.\n\n\n\nThe type of omega-3 fatty acids in hemp seeds are called alpha-linolenic acids (ALAs), which has been linked to certain biomarkers of cardiovascular health. That includes healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels, TODAY.com explained previously. (You can get other types of omega-3s, which are more linked to brain health, from marine foods.)\n\n\n\nA 3-tablespoon serving of hemp seeds provides a full 10 grams of plant-based protein and 3 grams of ALAs. But, as small as these seeds are, it is still a challenge to eat a full serving.\n\n\n\nStill, they’re a delicious addition to a bowl of Greek yogurt or cereal, or sprinkled on top of avocado toast or a smoothie, for instance. Or you could add them to your homemade granola or trail mix.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLentils\n\n\n\nLike beans, lentils have a balanced amount of both plant protein and fiber, Rizzo says. Just a half-cup serving will net you about 9 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber.\n\n\n\nBeyond that, lentils are rich in potassium, an essential mineral that supports healthy blood pressure. They also have a good amount of folate, a B vitamin that’s important for the production of red blood cells.\n\n\n\nLentils are an essential ingredient in many hearty soups and stews. And, in warmer months, you can add them to veggie-rich salads. \n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

Spain beat France 2-1; teenage superstar Lamine Yamal scored, and Spain went on to win the tournament against England. Their 2026 World Cup path could be a repeat if England can defeat Norway and then likely Argentina.\n\n\n\nThe French fever is already being felt across North Texas. At Alliance Française de Dallas, a French school, kids are singing, and there are touches of France everywhere.\n\n\n\n“We teach French and do events,” said Angel Jimenez, Executive Assistant.\n\n\n\nRight now, the energy is bubbling for the World Cup. The school has been co-hosting watch parties throughout the tournament at Hendy’s on Henderson.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“We have been thinking about it since the beginning. We know we will have a semi-final here in Dallas. But we didn’t know if France will be playing in Dallas,” Alexandre Rossignol, Alliance Française de Dallas executive director, said.\n\n\n\n“The third time they are in a row, they reach for the semi-finals, and we won twice, so we will win,” Eric Nega, exam coordinator & teacher, said.\n\n\n\nThe game is Tuesday, July 14 at 2 p.m. July 14 also happens to be Bastille Day, the French national holiday commemorating the 1789 storming of the Bastille prison during the French Revolution. Typically, it’s celebrated with a parade along the Champs Élysées and fireworks, so we’ll see if the national team can display some fireworks on the pitch in Arlington.\n\n\n\n “I think it’s a sign we’re gonna win this World Cup,” Rossignol said. \n\n\n\nHe said they’re planning a Bastille Day Soiree at Hendy’s on Henderson immediately after next week’s match.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo celebrate Bastille Day after the match Tuesday, you can also join the annual Bishop Bastille Walk in Oak Cliff’s Bishop Arts District. Your ticket includes access to participating businesses offering wine, cocktails, mocktails, small bites, treats, restaurant specials and shopping perks. At check-in, you’ll receive a wine glass and a Bastille passport and map to guide you through the district.\n\n\n\n“Alles les blues!” Nega said. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith a win, France would join Brazil and Germany as the only nations to reach three straight finals. France won 4-2 over Croatia in 2018 before losing to Argentina in 2022. France has yet to lose in this tournament and has only conceded two goals, both in the group stage.\n\n\n\nMbappe has 8 goals so far this tournament as he seeks to add to his astonishing totals at just 27 years old. Only Lionel Messi (21) has more than Mbappe’s 20 in 20 games.\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat to know about France\n\n\n\nNickname: “Les Bleus”\n\n\n\nColors: Blue, white, red\n\n\n\nFIFA World Ranking: 1\n\n\n\nWorld Cup appearances: 17 (1930, 1934, 1938, 1954, 1958, 1966, 1978, 1982, 1986, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022, 2026)\n\n\n\nBest finish: Champion (1998, 2018)\n\n\n\nPopulation: 66.8 million\n\n\n\nClick here to read more on this report from our partners at The Dallas Morning News.\n\n\n\nSpain defeated Belgium 2-1 in Los Angeles Friday to seal their spot in the semis. Substitute Arsenal striker Mikel Merino scored late in the game to give them the lead. Friday was Spain’s first goal conceded of the tournament; Merino also scored a late winner against Portugal.\n\n\n\nYamal only has one goal this tournament, but he’s often been guarded with two or three defenders, and his teammates and coaches say they’re quite satisfied with his overall tournament performance, which began with limited playing time in the group matches while he returned from a hamstring injury incurred in April with Barcelona.\n\n\n\n\n\nSpain won its only World Cup in 2010. They’ve only reached the last four twice: 1950 and 2010. This is their first time past the Round of 16 since winning the tournament.\n\n\n\nThe only previous World Cup meeting between Spain and France was the Round of 16 in Germany 2006; France won 3-1, before eventually falling to Italy in the final.\n\n\n\nThe winner of this game heads to the final at New York/New Jersey Stadium on Sunday, July 19. The loser will head to the third-place game in Miami on Saturday.\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/france-takes-on-spain-in-2026-fifa-world-cup-semifinal-at-dallas-stadium-on-bastille-day-excitement-is-building/4048147/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Charles Nichelson and Tahera Rahman","publishDate":"2026-07-11T15:56:59.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2024%2F07%2Frsz_1spain-france-getty-7824.png%3Ffit%3D1280%2C722%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"france-takes-on-spain-in-world-cup-semifinal-at-dallas-stadium-on-bastille-day"},{"id":"fmhvsj","title":"Erling Haaland brings taxidermy raccoon back to Norway after World Cup","excerpt":"Norway is out of the World Cup, but Erling Haaland is still doing Erling Haaland things.\n\n\n\nThe 6-foot-5 striker was already popular in the soccer world, but his stock grew significantly throughout the 2026 tournament.

(Raccoon On Wheels).\n\n\n\nNorway’s dark-horse run came to an end in the quarterfinals vs. England, where the Three Lions came back to win 2-1 in extra time.\n\n\n\nThe team became known for their viral “Viking Row,” which was performed in front of fans after wins. Fans also did it themselves during games for extra moral support toward the players.\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/erling-haaland-raccoon-norway/4048838/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Sanjesh Singh","publishDate":"2026-07-13T18:00:13.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2285318303-e1783981336856.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3875%2C2306","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"erling-haaland-brings-taxidermy-raccoon-back-to-norway-after-world-cup"},{"id":"ivrgrf","title":"France fans line downtown Dallas streets to welcome World Cup stars","excerpt":"Hundreds of soccer fans lined Main Street in downtown Dallas on Monday afternoon for the chance to see France’s national team as players boarded their bus ahead of practice.\n\n\n\nSupporters waited for about two hours in the July heat to catch a glimpse of the world’s top-ranked team before it depar...","content":"Hundreds of soccer fans lined Main Street in downtown Dallas on Monday afternoon for the chance to see France’s national team as players boarded their bus ahead of practice.\n\n\n\nSupporters waited for about two hours in the July heat to catch a glimpse of the world’s top-ranked team before it departed for its practice session with a parade-style escort from Dallas police. The loudest cheers came when star forward Kylian Mbappe boarded the bus.\n\n\n\nAmong the crowd was the Benichou family, who traveled from Paris and have been exploring North Texas during their visit, including stops at the Fort Worth Stockyards and Klyde Warren Park. \n\n\n\n“For my son he’s a big fan of the French team,” David Benichou said.\n\n\n\nTuesday marks France’s only appearance among the nine World Cup matches being played in Arlington.\n\n\n\n“I think the people are amazing – nicer than in other areas of the United States, to be honest,” Elisa Benichou said. “It was a real discovery – so I think the World Cup is nice for that, so we discovered Dallas, and I think we’re going to come back for sure.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe excitement also drew local fans eager to see European soccer powers in person.\n\n\n\n“This is great for the city, especially being able to see teams that you never seen here before – the European teams and the players – so, it’s great,” Chris Watkins of Grand Prairie said.\n\n\n\nSpanish supporter Guilla Caro said he had arrived in Dallas only about 30 minutes before joining the crowd.\n\n\n\n“The ambiance looks great, like a football ambiance, and I hope Spain will win tomorrow,” Caro said.\n\n\n\nFor many North Texans, the event was another sign of the excitement surrounding Dallas’ role as a World Cup host city.\n\n\n\n“I’m just grateful that we’re in a city that is hosting,” Kaela Jimenez of Richardson said.\n\n\n\nWatkins said the city delivered a memorable welcome for France.\n\n\n\n“I think on a scale of 1 to 10 – we blew it out the water with a 10,” Watkins said.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

We will continue to provide updates as we learn more.”\n\n\n\nKnown for causing watery diarrhea, nausea and stomach pains, cyclosporiasis is an infection caused by a parasite often linked to contaminated food and water.\n\n\n\nMichigan health officials said while they typically only record 40-50 cases annually, they have already seen 2,640 in a matter of weeks.\n\n\n\n“MDHHS continues to work closely with local health departments to conduct in-depth interviews of individuals testing positive for cyclosporiasis, as well as with other state and federal partners to conduct traceback investigations. More than 1,000 interviews have than have been completed to date,” the department said in a release. “Given the extent of the outbreak, the incubation period of up to two weeks for symptoms to develop after exposure and complex food distribution networks across the state and country, it will take some time for agencies to complete their investigation.”\n\n\n\nWhile the infections can be contracted from swimming in contaminated waters, such transmission is uncommon and Michigan health officials said it is “not a recognized risk factor” and “there is currently no evidence linking recreational water activities to this outbreak.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstead, they have said foodborne exposure remains the primary focus for the latest outbreak, which has sparked cases nationwide.\n\n\n\nThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Friday that 31 states have reported cases of cyclosporiasis and 86 people have been hospitalized.\n\n\n\nIt remains unclear whether there is currently a single or multistate outbreak linking all cases.\n\n\n\n\nWhat can you do to prevent infection?\n\n\n\nWhile lettuces are being investigated as a potential source, and have been the source for previous cyclosporiasis outbreaks, officials urged anyone eating or preparing lettuce or salad greens in areas where cases have been reported to take added precautions. \n\n\n\nThat includes: \n\n\n\n\nPurchase whole heads: Buy whole heads of lettuce rather than pre-washed, bagged lettuce or pre-mixed salad kits.\n\n\n\nDiscard outer layers: Before preparation, throw away the outer two to three layers of leaves.\n\n\n\nWash inner leaves: Thoroughly wash the remaining inner leaves under clean running water.\n\n\n\nPrioritize cooking: For any greens that can be cooked, cooking to a temperature of at least 158 F (70 C) is the safest option, as the parasite is resistant to routine chemical disinfection and washing alone cannot guarantee its removal.\n\n\n\n\nOther recommendations include: \n\n\n\n\nCook produce when possible: Heating food to 158 F (70 C) or higher kills cyclospora.\n\n\n\nPeel produce: Peeling is highly effective for food items with removable skin as the parasite sits on the outer surface.\n\n\n\nWash all fresh produce: Wash under clean running water, even if you plan to peel it. “Pre-washed” does not guarantee safety and rewashing bagged lettuce is unlikely to remove cyclospora. While washing alone may not fully eliminate cyclospora, it enhances protection when combined with cooking or peeling.\n\n\n\n\nProduce items linked to previous outbreaks\n\n\n\nFood items that have been linked to previous cyclospora outbreaks in the U.S. and Canada include:\n\n\n\n\nBagged salad mixes and kits\n\n\n\nFresh cilantro (coriander leaves)\n\n\n\nFresh basil\n\n\n\nRaspberries\n\n\n\nSnow peas\n\n\n\nGreen onions (scallions)\n\n\n\n\nSymptoms of cyclosporiasis\n\n\n\nWhile the most common and notable symptom of the infection is known as “explosive diarrhea,” there are numerous other signs of infection.\n\n\n\n“[The diarrhea] can be really frequent, pretty severe. People talk about explosive diarrhea,” said Dr. Kiran Joshi with the Cook County Department of Public Health. “You can get all kinds of other abdominal symptoms as well, including loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, sometimes a low grade fever. Now, those symptoms can certainly cause quite a bit of distress. The good news is that this is typically not a life-threatening illness, though if untreated, it can last for a month or longer, so it’s really important.”\n\n\n\nExperts say diarrhea itself isn’t a distinctive symptom, but knowing the outbreak is growing could lead more practitioners to testing for cyclosporiasis. \n\n\n\n“There are a lot of different causes of diarrhea, and cyclosporiasis is not one of the higher causes of infectious diarrhea. But when cases do surge in the way that they are, it’s important to pay attention to it,” Mayer said.\n\n\n\nOne of the larger indications of cyclosporiasis is likely the timing of infection and symptoms. \n\n\n\nWhile many other foodborne illnesses will show symptoms within hours, cyclosporiasis can take days or even up to two weeks to appear. The most common time frame is around one week, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.\n\n\n\n“The first thing is explosive diarrhea, bloating, cramping, loss of appetite,” Dr. Sharon Welbel, chair of infectious diseases for Cook County Health, said. “Some people have a low-grade fever but that’s pretty uncommon.”\n\n\n\nThe infections can also last much longer than other foodborne illnesses.\n\n\n\n“The symptoms are a bit less, but they go on longer. Noroviruses kind of hits you hard and then it’s done. This kind of just drags on for a longer period of time,” Dr. Irfan Hafiz, an infectious disease physician at Northwestern Medicine, told NBC Chicago.\n\n\n\nThe CDC notes that the illness can last anywhere from a few days to over a month and, in some cases, may even seem to go away but then return one or more times.\n\n\n\nHere’s a look at how it compares to other illnesses.\n\n\n\nWhat to do if you become ill\n\n\n\nPeople experiencing frequent, watery diarrhea are being urged to contact their healthcare provider and “specifically request testing for cyclospora as routine stool tests may miss the parasite,” MDHSS stated. \n\n\n\nTreatment for confirmed infections will include antibiotics, but those who contract it should also be prepared to rest and drink fluids to maintain hydration.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/health/michigan-health-officials-reveal-potential-source-for-cyclosporiasis-outbreak-causing-thousands-of-cases-of-explosive-diarrhea/4049141/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Alex Dvorak","publishDate":"2026-07-13T17:33:08.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2175962645.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D6271%2C3006","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"michigan-health-officials-reveal-potential-source-for-cyclosporiasis-outbreak"},{"id":"91przl","title":"Trump's IRS lawsuit was filed for ‘improper purpose,' judge says in scathing ruling","excerpt":"President Donald Trump‘s lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over his leaked tax returns was filed for an “improper purpose,” a judge said Monday as she referred one of his lawyers for potential disciplinary action and characterized the $10 billion complaint as an exercise in self-dealin...","content":"President Donald Trump‘s lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over his leaked tax returns was filed for an “improper purpose,” a judge said Monday as she referred one of his lawyers for potential disciplinary action and characterized the $10 billion complaint as an exercise in self-dealing.\n\n\n\nU.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams accused Trump and his lawyers in a scathing ruling of having manipulated the court system when he sued a federal agency under his control, bypassing a requirement that parties in a lawsuit must have adverse interests.

Ensuring that our courts are used only for the express purpose created by the Constitution is the obligation of every judge and an obligation that this Court must discharge in light of the matter before it.”\n\n\n\nThe suit against the IRS and Treasury Department in January accused the federal agencies of a failure to prevent a leak of the president’s tax information to news outlets between 2018 and 2020. \n\n\n\nIn May, however, the administration announced that it was settling the case and creating a fund to compensate people who believe they’ve been mistreated by the criminal justice system. The fund was quickly shelved amid bipartisan backlash, though the Trump administration has said it intends to proceed with a separate element of the deal affording Trump and family members protection from audits.\n\n\n\nFrom the start, the judge had appeared skeptical of the complaint and assigned a group of attorneys to determine whether there was a conflict in the case since, as sitting president, Trump was suing “entities whose decisions are subject to his direction.” \n\n\n\nEven after the settlement was revealed, she directed Trump attorneys to lay out their positions on whether the parties in the case were truly adverse to each other, whether the settlement was premised on fraud and whether the case should be reopened.\n\n\n\nShe made clear in her ruling that she was not satisfied by the lawyers’ answers.\n\n\n\n“After a review of the record, and the Parties’ statements, the Court declines to adopt or accept the credulous exercise of divorcing President Trump’s current job title from an understanding of what happened here,” she wrote.\n\n\n\nThe ruling also raises the possibility of disciplinary actions\n\n\n\nThe judge referred Trump attorney Alejandro Brito, who filed the case, for possible disciplinary action before the state bar in Florida and said another lawyer, Daniel Epstein, will not be granted permission to file within the Southern District of Florida for up to a year. \n\n\n\nA spokesman for the Trump legal team responded to a request seeking comment from Brito with a statement that blamed the IRS for allowing his tax returns to be leaked.\n\n\n\nThe judge also ordered that her ruling be sent to the state bars in New York and the District of Columbia, where ethics complaints have been filed against Blanche and Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward.\n\n\n\nWilliams pointed to Blanche’s congressional testimony in early June in which he revealed that the “anti-weaponization” fund was no longer moving forward. Though nothing had been filed in court, Blanche appeared confident in his testimony that he “could speak for, and bind, both sides of this matter,” Williams said.\n\n\n\n“Acting Attorney General Blanche’s apparent capacity to speak for both Plaintiffs and Defendants, sign a ‘settlement’ document on behalf of all Parties to this action, and then repudiate part of that agreement, demonstrates that there was only one party whose interests were being represented throughout this case,” the judge wrote.\n\n\n\nThe judge also raised ethical concerns about Blanche and Woodward’s involvement in the settlement given Blanche’s past representation of Trump as well as Woodward’s previous defense of Jan. 6 defendants and a co-defendant in Trump’s classified documents case.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tElections\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 10\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump ousts members of bipartisan federal election commission\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCapitol Riot\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 10\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJudge grants DOJ's request to toss remaining Jan. 6 convictions of Proud Boys\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\n“Instead of either recusing because of their previous representations or vigorously defending this lawsuit as required to do so by DOJ policies and procedures, these lawyers agreed to a ‘settlement’ involving a staggering amount of money potentially benefitting former clients,” she said.\n\n\n\nBlanche denied in a CNN interview last spring that he had come up with the settlement terms, saying, “The president has outside counsel, and their counsel, the Department of Justice, not me.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAssociated Press writers Fatima Hussein and Michelle L.

And the fifth All-Star Game to be played in Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was signed, comes as the U.S. celebrates its 250th anniversary.\n\n\n\nThe host Phillies have six All-Star representatives, including a trio of starters. Outfielder Brandon Marsh will be in the starting lineup as he makes his All-Star Game debut while designated hitter Kyle Schwarber took over Shohei Ohtani’s starting spot. Southpaw Cristopher Sánchez will become the first Phillies pitcher to start a Midsummer Classic since Roy Halladay in 2011 — and he’ll do so at his home ballpark.\n\n\n\n\n\nBlue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease, meanwhile, will be the first Toronto pitcher to make an All-Star start since Halladay in 2009.\n\n\n\nFrom the full AL and NL rosters to how to watch the exhibition and more, here’s everything to know for the 96th MLB All-Star Game:\n\n\n\nWhen is the 2026 MLB All-Star Game?\n\n\n\nThe All-Star Game is on Tuesday, July 14.\n\n\n\nWhat time does the 2026 MLB All-Star Game start?\n\n\n\nThe game is slated for 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT/5 p.m. PT.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMLB\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 9\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t50 fun facts about the MLB All-Star Game\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMLB\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 13\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCardinals' Jordan Walker wins 2026 MLB Home Run Derby to stun Philly crowd\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nWhere is the 2026 MLB All-Star Game being played?\n\n\n\nCitizens Bank Park, home of the Phillies, is hosting the All-Star Game for the first time.\n\n\n\nWhat TV channel is the 2026 MLB All-Star Game on?\n\n\n\nFox will air the Midsummer Classic. \n\n\n\nWhere to stream the 2026 MLB All-Star Game live online\n\n\n\nThe game will also be available to stream on Fox One, FoxSports.com and the Fox Sports app.\n\n\n\nWho are the 2026 MLB All-Star Game managers?\n\n\n\nThe managers of the reigning AL and NL pennant winners serve as All-Star Game skippers.

Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger and Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene will take over those spots.\n\n\n\nAnd Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander, who is retiring after this season, was added to the AL roster by MLB commissioner Rob Manfred as a “Legend Pick.” But the three-time Cy Young winner won’t be active for the game due to injury.\n\n\n\nHere’s a full breakdown of the AL roster:\n\n\n\nStarting lineup\n\n\n\n\nMike Trout, CF, Angels\n\n\n\nYordan Alvarez, DH, Astros\n\n\n\nShea Langeliers, C, Athletics\n\n\n\nJunior Caminero, 3B, Rays\n\n\n\nBobby Witt Jr., SS, Royals\n\n\n\nCody Bellinger, RF, Yankees\n\n\n\nBen Rice, 1B, Yankess\n\n\n\nRiley Greene, LF, Tigers\n\n\n\nErnie Clement, 2B, Blue Jays\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReserves\n\n\n\n\nDillon Dingler, C, Tigers\n\n\n\nAdley Rutschman, C, Orioles\n\n\n\nTravis Bazzana, INF, Guardians\n\n\n\nWillson Contreras, INF, Red Sox (replacement)\n\n\n\nKevin McGonigle, INF, Tigers\n\n\n\nMunetaka Murakami, INF, White Sox (replacement)\n\n\n\nMiguel Vargas, INF, White Sox\n\n\n\nRandy Arozarena, OF, Mariners\n\n\n\nTristan Peters, OF, White Sox (replacement)\n\n\n\nCeddanne Rafaela, OF, Red Sox (replacement)\n\n\n\nYandy Díaz, DH, Rays\n\n\n\n\nStarting pitchers\n\n\n\n\nDylan Cease, RHP, Blue Jays (ASG starter)\n\n\n\nNick Martinez, RHP, Rays (replacement)\n\n\n\nParker Messick, LHP, Guardians\n\n\n\nDrew Rasmussen, RHP, Rays\n\n\n\nJoe Ryan, RHP, Twins\n\n\n\nCam Schlittler, RHP, Yankees\n\n\n\nRanger Suarez, LHP, Red Sox\n\n\n\nMichael Wacha, RHP, Royals\n\n\n\n\nRelievers\n\n\n\n\nBryan Baker, RHP, Rays\n\n\n\nAroldis Chapman, LHP, Red Sox\n\n\n\nJacob Latz, LHP, Rangers\n\n\n\nCade Smith, RHP, Guardians\n\n\n\nLouis Varland, RHP, Blue Jays\n\n\n\n\nNL All-Star Game starters, lineup, pitchers, reserves\n\n\n\nDH Kyle Schwarber is starting in place of Shohei Ohtani, who can’t compete due to injury.\n\n\n\nHere’s a look at the full NL team:\n\n\n\nStarting lineup\n\n\n\n\nKyle Schwarber, DH, Phillies\n\n\n\nJuan Soto, LF, Mets\n\n\n\nFreddie Freeman, 1B, Dodgers\n\n\n\nCJ Abrams, SS, Nationals\n\n\n\nMax Muncy, 3B, Dodgers\n\n\n\nOzzie Albies, 2B, Braves\n\n\n\nBrandon Marsh, RF, Phillies\n\n\n\nAndy Pages, CF, Dodgers\n\n\n\nDrake Baldwin, C, Braves\n\n\n\n\nReserves\n\n\n\n\nWilliam Contreras, C, Brewers\n\n\n\nHunter Goodman, C, Rockies\n\n\n\nLuis Arraez, INF, Giants\n\n\n\nBryce Harper, INF, Phillies (Legend Pick)\n\n\n\nOtto Lopez, INF, Marlins\n\n\n\nMatt Olson, INF, Braves\n\n\n\nSal Stewart, INF, Reds\n\n\n\nCorbin Carroll, OF, Diamondbacks\n\n\n\nPete Crow-Armstrong, OF, Cubs\n\n\n\nJordan Walker, OF, Cardinals\n\n\n\nJames Wood, OF, Nationals\n\n\n\nIván Herrera, DH, Cardinals (replacement)\n\n\n\n\nStarting pitchers\n\n\n\n\nCristopher Sánchez, LHP, Phillies (ASG starter)\n\n\n\nBraxton Ashcraft, RHP, Pirates (replacement)\n\n\n\nChase Burns, RHP, Reds\n\n\n\nFoster Griffin, LHP, Nationals (replacement)\n\n\n\nJesús Luzardo, LHP, Phillies (replacement)\n\n\n\nMax Meyer, RHP, Marlins\n\n\n\nJacob Misiorowski, RHP, Brewers\n\n\n\nEduardo Rodriguez, LHP, Diamondbacks\n\n\n\nChris Sale, LHP, Braves\n\n\n\nPaul Skenes, RHP, Pirates\n\n\n\nLogan Webb, RHP, Giants\n\n\n\nJustin Wrobleski, LHP, Dodgers (replacement)\n\n\n\nYoshinobu Yamamoto, RHP, Dodgers\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRelievers\n\n\n\n\nJhoan Duran, RHP, Phillies\n\n\n\nRaisel Iglesias, RHP, Braves\n\n\n\nMason Miller, RHP, Padres\n\n\n\nRiley O’Brien, RHP, Cardinals (replacement)\n\n\n\n\nDoes the MLB All-Star Game determine World Series home-field advantage?\n\n\n\nThe All-Star Game no longer determines which league gets home-field advantage in the World Series.

In a statement, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Ryan Raybould said, “The defendant allegedly took advantage of his victims’ faith by promising significant profits through investment opportunities but instead used their funds to selfishly enrich himself at their expense.”\n\n\n\nProsecutors allege Garcia solicited funds for “church flipping” projects, Christian music concerts and other church programs, promising investors significant profits before using the money for personal and business expenses. According to court records, the alleged “church flipping” projects involved purchasing church properties, renovating them and reselling them for a profit.\n\n\n\nGarcia controlled bank accounts associated with Ministerio Gracia, Iglesia Gracia de Texas, Gracia Church of Texas and Pesar de Todo LLC, according to prosecutors. Court records identify addresses tied to those entities in Arlington and Mansfield.\n\n\n\nProsecutors allege Garcia directed some victims to transfer money into those accounts and describe the payments as donations, even though prosecutors say the money was intended for investment agreements.\n\n\n\nA criminal complaint filed earlier in the investigation provides additional detail about how investigators said the alleged scheme operated.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccording to the complaint, Garcia allegedly persuaded investors to finance church renovation projects in Arlington, Texarkana and Lubbock, as well as Christian concerts in the Dominican Republic and Colombia.\n\n\n\nThe timeline below highlights key events described in court records.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe criminal complaint provides examples of individual investments investigators said victims made after being promised returns from church renovation projects and Christian concert ventures. Prosecutors allege those investments were part of a broader fraud scheme that ultimately involved more than $3.2 million from over 50 victims, according to prosecutors\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInvestigators allege some victims were told their investments had been rolled into new projects without their permission, while others were shown fraudulent contracts or property documents intended to persuade them to invest additional money.\n\n\n\nThe complaint also alleges Garcia made what investigators describe as “lulling payments,” small payments intended to reassure investors the ventures were legitimate and encourage additional investments.\n\n\n\nThe case is scheduled for trial Oct. 13 in Fort Worth.\n\n\n\nIf convicted, Garcia faces up to 20 years in federal prison on each wire fraud-related count and a mandatory consecutive two-year sentence on the aggravated identity theft charge.\n\n\n\nThe FBI is asking anyone who believes they may have been a victim of the alleged scheme to complete its Seeking Victims Questionnaire.

Lindsey Graham is a medical emergency that can rapidly kill.\n\n\n\nThe aorta is our largest artery, like a highway that arches up from the heart and then curves back down through the abdomen — carrying oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body as other arteries branch off from it.\n\n\n\nWhat doctors call an aortic dissection happens when a tear in its inner lining lets blood rapidly leak between its other layers, according to the American Medical Association. That reduces blood flow to vital organs, and sometimes can lead to a rupture that pours blood into surrounding tissues. It often can be caused by an aortic aneurysm, a weakened spot on the artery that can bulge like a balloon.\n\n\n\nRisk factors\n\n\n\nRisk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol that in turn stiffens arteries — called atherosclerosis — and smoking. It’s more common in older people but also can be caused by certain genetic conditions in younger people.\n\n\n\nAccording to American Heart Association volunteer president Dr. Manesh Patel, the disorder is more common in men than women, with most people experiencing a dissection between the ages of 50 to 70 years old.\n\n\n\nA preliminary medical examiner’s report shared by Graham’s office said the aortic dissection was related to artery hardening.\n\n\n\nSymptoms \n\n\n\nSymptoms tend to be sudden, with severe stabbing-like pain, often in the chest or back but sometimes in the neck, jaw or abdomen depending on where in the aorta the tear happened. According to the heart association, people also may suddenly lose consciousness, have clammy or sweaty skin, experience stroke-like symptoms such as sudden weakness on one side of the body, or show signs of shock, including rapid heart rate or confusion.\n\n\n\nFast treatment improves the chances of survival. Depending on where the tear occurred and its extent, surgeons may try to repair it or patch the torn section of the aorta.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/health/what-is-aortic-dissection-heart-condition-lindsey-grahams-death/4048679/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Lauran Neergaard | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-13T13:13:33.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-1041805044.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3000%2C2000","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"what-is-an-aortic-dissection-the-heart-condition-linked-to-lindsey-grahams-sudden-death"},{"id":"59ml7p","title":"Sweet discovery: Astronomers find sugar lurking in the space between stars","excerpt":"The space between stars just got a little sweeter.\n\n\n\nAstronomers have detected a type of sugar in space that’s also found in raspberries and self-tanners.

The sugar, called erythrulose, lurks in what’s called the interstellar medium: thin clouds of gas and dust littered between stars.\n\n\n\nSugar does more than sweeten tea and powder doughnuts. Different varieties fuel our cells and even make up DNA. Scientists are itching to know how sugars form because they’re a key ingredient for life as we know it.\n\n\n\nUsing two dish-shaped radio telescopes in Spain, researchers collected data from a large gas cloud near the center of the Milky Way. They identified the sugar in gas form by comparing telescope signals to samples in the lab. It’s the latest kind of sugar detected in space — in a region crossed by NASA’s twin Voyager, the farthest spacecraft to ever travel from Earth.\n\n\n\nThe results were published Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy.\n\n\n\nScientists have found interesting chemistry in our galaxy, including building blocks for genetic material and parts of the cell. They spotted a cousin to table sugar near the center of the Milky Way about 25 years ago, and black grains from asteroid Bennu retrieved by NASA’s Osiris-Rex spacecraft yielded other sugars, including a key DNA ingredient.\n\n\n\nThe latest sugar isn’t essential for life, but can easily convert to a form that’s thought to be crucial to kick-starting life on Earth. And it’s one of the most complex sugars spotted so far, said astrophysicist Erika Hamden with the University of Arizona.\n\n\n\nIt’s “a pristine example of the stuff that’s just floating out in the galaxy,” said Hamden, who had no role in the new research.\n\n\n\nThese interstellar investigations are all about understanding how life got started. Did faraway comets or space rocks deliver the essential ingredients to us? Or were the essential components already here that eventually gave rise to our solar system?\n\n\n\nThe new sugar lends evidence to the latter theory. Researchers want to look for more sugars in space and learn about how they convert to different forms.\n\n\n\nFinding them in one spot means they’re likely also hiding in distant corners of the galaxy along with other important bits, said study author Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, an astrophysicist at the Center for Astrobiology in Spain.\n\n\n\n“The key ingredients for the origin of life could be present in other regions across the galaxy, opening the possibility for life to develop elsewhere in the universe,” Jiménez-Serra said.\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nThe Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Discovery on Monday, filing a lawsuit that argues the $81 billion mega merger would “extinguish competition” in Hollywood and threaten jobs across the industry.\n\n\n\nThe office of California’s attorney general, who is leading the case, said the states are asking Warner and Paramount to not close their merger “until after the judicial process concludes” — and if the companies do not agree, the coalition will then file a temporary restraining order.\n\n\n\n“The unlawful merger of these two entertainment behemoths would lead to higher prices, lower quality, and less content for film and television, harming movie theaters, basic cable distributors, and ultimately, audiences on every sofa and movie theater seat in the U.S.,” California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement.\n\n\n\nThe additional states joining the suit include Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon and Washington.\n\n\n\nSkydance-owned Paramount said Monday’s lawsuit “distorts settled antitrust law” and maintained its merger would create a “stronger competitor against dominant streaming and technology platforms who have harmed the market for theatrical exhibition and jobs in the entertainment industry.”\n\n\n\nThe company vowed to “vigorously defend” the transaction.

The antitrust case arrives at a pivotal time for the Paramount-Warner transaction — which, after months of what became a very public bidding war with Netflix, received shareholders’ stamp of approval in April and then a blessing from the Trump administration just last month.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. Justice Department isn’t challenging the deal — and instead released an unusually lengthy statement in support, maintaining a Paramount-Warner combo would “increase competition across the media and entertainment ecosystem, with benefits for American consumers and workers.”\n\n\n\nParamount has touted additional regulatory clearances it says it’s received in a handful of other countries, including China, Canada and Australia. But other reviews remain in progress, including in the European Union and the U.K. — which has separately suggested it may intervene.\n\n\n\nParamount and Warner previously said they hoped to close their deal sometime in the third quarter of this year, signaling recently an effort to complete process in the coming weeks. The clock is ticking. Paramount pledged to give shareholders some compensation if the acquisition doesn’t close by Sept. 30 — in the form of a 25-cent per share “ticking fee” for every quarter past that date. It’s also agreed to a regulatory termination fee of $7 billion.\n\n\n\nIncluding debt, Paramount’s proposed purchase of Warner is valued at nearly $111 billion (or $31 per share) based on current outstanding shares.\n\n\n\nCritics of the deal, and Paramount’s response\n\n\n\nWarner and Paramount argue that merging will be good for growth in the industry and give consumers access to more content, particularly if HBO Max and Paramount+ libraries are combined. But critics have decried what further consolidation could mean in an industry already controlled by just a few major players.\n\n\n\nThousands of actors, directors, writers and other industry professionals have voiced “unequivocal opposition” to the Paramount deal, arguing that further consolidation will lead to job losses and fewer choices for filmmakers and movie goers. Meanwhile, Paramount on Monday argued that delaying the merger “will only harm entertainment workers who have already suffered over recent years as technology has disrupted their livelihood and cost California tens of thousands of entertainment jobs.”\n\n\n\nQuestions of political influence have also piled up. Democrats in particular have expressed skepticism about whether regulators working under President Donald Trump would scrutinize the deal as heavily.\n\n\n\nThe Justice Department maintained that politics would not play a role in the regulatory process — but Trump himself has publicly waded into Warner’s future at times, despite backpedaling on what he once suggested his personal role would be. The Republican president also has a close relationship with the Ellison family, particularly Oracle founder Larry Ellison, who is putting billions of dollars on the table to back the bid for his son’s company.\n\n\n\nMany eyes are on CNN, a network that has long attracted ire from Trump and his allies. Paramount’s CBS has already seen significant turmoil and shifts in editorial leadership since coming under Skydance ownership last — and if Warner merger goes through, the reach of that could grow. Several Trump administration officials have been far from shy from sharing their hopes for CNN under Paramount ownership, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth telling reporters in March that “the sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/states-challenge-paramount-takeover-warner-bros-lawsuit/4048669/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Wyatte Grantham-Philips | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-13T12:44:53.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2F260713-wbd-paramount-getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5000%2C2812","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"12-states-challenge-paramounts-81-billion-takeover-of-warner-bros-in-lawsuit"},{"id":"z2y2zc","title":"Former Dallas ISD superintendent announce mayoral run","excerpt":"Former Dallas ISD superintendent Michael Hinojosa says he will run for Dallas mayor in 2027.","content":"Former Dallas ISD superintendent Michael Hinojosa says he will run for Dallas mayor in 2027.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/video/fmc-1v3b3hgus50y39xu","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","publishDate":"2026-07-13T23:43:12.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic-media.fox.com%2Ffmcv3%2Fprod%2Ffts%2Fo4aijmporvz879pa%2F6v1ckslhi0f3fqzl.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"former-dallas-isd-superintendent-announce-mayoral-run"},{"id":"5h8a53","title":"DART close to finalizing new CEO","excerpt":"DART's Board of Directors will finalize their choice for the company's new CEO on Tuesday.

This is no different than anything else we do day in and day out. We have an incredibly robust civil rights division who goes out to these scenes, who works collaboratively with the investigating agency, and finds the truth. Because any time that a member of our community loses their life at the hands of law enforcement.”\n\n\n\nSalgado Araujo’s death set off protests in Texas’ largest city and calls from Democrats and Salgado Araujo’s family for an independent investigation. The shooting on Tuesday in a heavily Hispanic neighborhood is at least the eighth death during the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement campaign.\n\n\n\nThe Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, said federal officers were looking for someone they had targeted weeks before when they attempted to stop a vehicle driven by Salgado Araujo. In a statement, DHS said Salgado Araujo rammed an ICE vehicle and that a federal officer fired a weapon in self-defense.\n\n\n\nSalgado Araujo’s family said he had nearly finished the long process of obtaining legal status in the U.S. after living in the country for 35 years, and that he knew what to do if approached by ICE officers. Ronaldo Salgado, his son, said his father may have been scared that the people in unmarked vehicles were coming to steal his work tools.\n\n\n\nHere’s what we know about Salgado Araujo’s shooting:\n\n\n\nThe shooting happened on a Houston street\n\n\n\nFew photos or video surrounding the shooting in Houston have emerged on social media, unlike other deaths involving federal immigration officers.\n\n\n\nDHS said weeks before the shooting, agents investigating a tip saw two white vans at the address of a target. While heading to that address Tuesday, officers saw a white van and someone inside who resembled the person they were looking for, the department said in a statement.\n\n\n\nDHS said an officer opened fire after Salgado Araujo ignored commands and attempted to ram the officer with his vehicle. The agency has not released any video or photos.\n\n\n\nA video shot by bystander Juliet Martinez shows the aftermath of the shooting. A black vehicle is angled toward a white van, their doors wide open. A bleeding and handcuffed man groans loudly on the ground and his leg shakes. Other federal officers stand over at least three other handcuffed men.\n\n\n\nICE has not released the names of the other men detained, but Salgado Araujo’s family identified one as his brother. Families of the other two men said they were able to briefly talk to them on Wednesday, July 10 and they are being detained.\n\n\n\nICE said Thursday, July 11, that the officers involved in the shooting were not wearing body cameras. They have not said if agents were specifically targeting Salgado Araujo or whether the officers involved are on leave.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/texas-news/harris-county-officials-investigation-fatal-shooting-ice-officer-houston/4048655/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Lekan Oyekanmi, Jack Brook and Jeffrey Collins | The Associated Press and NBCDFW","publishDate":"2026-07-13T11:49:36.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26189576455034-e1783644974571.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3069%2C1730","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"harris-county-officials-say-district-attorneys-office-will-independently-investigate-death-of-man-sh"},{"id":"ocvo9v","title":"Video shows bison chasing and flipping grandfather 8 feet into the air at Yellowstone","excerpt":"A bull bison charged at visitors at a campsite in Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park on Friday, hooking and tossing a grandfather 8 feet into the air.\n\n\n\nThe terrifying encounter was captured by a professional photographer who said the animal appeared “agitated.”\n\n\n\nMike MacLeod told NBC News th...","content":"A bull bison charged at visitors at a campsite in Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park on Friday, hooking and tossing a grandfather 8 feet into the air.\n\n\n\nThe terrifying encounter was captured by a professional photographer who said the animal appeared “agitated.”\n\n\n\nMike MacLeod told NBC News the 65-year-old man and his grandson were taking photos of the bison from a distance when the animal got up and bolted in their direction. The duo ran and tried hiding behind some trees as the bison chased them around, MacLoed said.\n\n\n\nThe bison was able to catch up to the grandfather and hooked him with one of its horns before flipping him in the air.\n\n\n\n“It was like watching a bulldozer move out at 45 miles an hour,” MacLeod said.\n\n\n\nMacLeod said he and several other campers rushed to the man’s aid and hazed off the bull.

I learned every minute from you when we were together on and off set,” Peter Shinkoda wrote on Instagram. “I know wisdom — I’d hang on your every word. We will meet again, my friend. You were beautiful.” \n\n\n\nJudy Lei recalled working with Ho on her first movie in 2019, writing that the seasoned actress had “grace” toward Lei’s lack of on-set experience. \n\n\n\n“I’m so sad to hear of her passing,” Lei wrote on Instagram. \n\n\n\nPerry Young, who played Ho’s husband in “High Resolution,” wrote on Instagram that she “was a kind, compassionate human being whose work as an artist lifted every production to a higher standard, and we are better for it.” \n\n\n\n“Rest in power dear friend,” Young wrote.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/marvel-actress-wai-ching-ho-dead/4048600/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Rebecca Cohen and Austin Mullen | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-13T09:13:43.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-653626906.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3000%2C2000","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"marvel-actress-wai-ching-ho-dead-at-82"},{"id":"x3fqnh","title":"How sleep trials and warranties can protect your mattress purchase","excerpt":"A quality mattress can cost thousands of dollars and is expected to provide years of comfortable sleep.

But what should you do if it starts sagging or sinking long before you think it should?\n\n\n\nThat’s the question Anita Karnes faced after she said her Tempur-Pedic mattress developed a noticeable dip just two years after she bought it.\n\n\n\n“It had a place on it to where you sunk into it,” Karnes said. “It was a dip in the mattress. And you could visibly see that one side was lower than the other.” \n\n\n\nKarnes contacted Home Zone, the retailer where she purchased both the mattress and its foundation.\n\n\n\nKarnes said Home Zone first sent technicians to determine whether the problem was related to the bed’s support system rather than the mattress itself.\n\n\n\n“They came out here the first time, and they screwed slats, which it already had slats…but they screwed slats onto the frame,” Karnes said.\n\n\n\nWhen that didn’t solve the issue, she said technicians tried another approach: Styrofoam placed beneath the mattress. \n\n\n\n“And they came, and they stuck that under the bed, the side that was sinking,” Karnes said. \n\n\n\nExperts say that’s a common first step in many warranty situations. Before approving a warranty claim, manufacturers and retailers often want to confirm that the mattress has been used with a proper foundation or bed frame. An inadequate support system can contribute to premature wear and may affect warranty coverage.\n\n\n\nMany mattress warranties are handled directly by the manufacturer, and the claims process varies by brand.\n\n\n\nFor example, Tempur-Pedic’s 10-year limited warranty covers certain manufacturing defects, including visible indentations of three-quarters of an inch or more, provided they are not caused by normal wear or an unsupportive foundation or bed base. The company instructs customers to submit warranty claims directly, along with photographs of the mattress and proof of purchase.\n\n\n\nIn Karnes’ case, she said the second attempt to improve the mattress support also failed to resolve the problem. Home Zone then offered to apply the original purchase price toward a different mattress.\n\n\n\nKarnes chose to upgrade to a Tempur-Pedic hybrid model, which combines memory foam with traditional coils.\n\n\n\n“So we got a better Tempur-Pedic that had springs in it,” she said. “We spent $1,000 more, but we got a better mattress.” \n\n\n\nSleep experts say hybrid mattresses may provide additional structural support, and the coil system can help reduce the deep body impressions that some people experience with all-foam mattresses.\n\n\n\nBefore purchasing a mattress, compare sleep trial policies as well as warranty coverage.\n\n\n\nMany brands offer sleep trials lasting 90 to 100 nights, giving customers time to decide whether the mattress is the right fit. Some companies, including Saatva and Nectar, extend that trial period to as long as one year.\n\n\n\nIf you believe your mattress has developed a manufacturing defect, review the warranty to determine whether the issue is covered, then contact the manufacturer to begin the claims process.\n\n\n\nSome retailers also offer generous return policies.\n\n\n\n Costco, for example, allows members to return mattresses without a restocking fee. Mattresses must be clean, in reasonable condition, and associated with an active membership. In-store purchases must be returned to a warehouse, while eligible online mattress purchases qualify for free in-home pickup.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/nbc-5-responds/how-sleep-trials-and-warranties-can-protect-your-mattress-purchase/4047845/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Kristi Nelson","publishDate":"2026-07-10T12:56:51.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fposter-frame-1783706246667.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"how-sleep-trials-and-warranties-can-protect-your-mattress-purchase"},{"id":"gd2pz0","title":"SpaceX targets Thursday for Starship’s 13th test flight from South Texas","excerpt":"SpaceX is looking at later this week for its next flight test of Starship from its South Texas launch site.","content":"SpaceX is looking at later this week for its next flight test of Starship from its South Texas launch site.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/spacex-targets-thursday-starships-13th-test-flight-from-south-texas","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Steven.Ardary@fox.com (Steven Ardary)","publishDate":"2026-07-14T20:25:46.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox26houston.com%2Fwww.fox26houston.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2Fstarship-4-1.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"spacex-targets-thursday-for-starships-13th-test-flight-from-south-texas"},{"id":"tp79pw","title":"Fort Worth family blames fireworks for house fire","excerpt":"A family in Fort Worth says fireworks caused their house to be set on fire last week, which would be the second fireworks-related fire in Fort Worth in the past week.

The shooting sparked protests in the city as politicians called for more answers about what happened.  \n\n\n\nThe driver, whom authorities haven’t publicly identified, was shot while attempting to flee when being stopped by Immigration and Customs Enforcement about 7 a.m., an ICE representative said in a statement. \n\n\n\n“The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and fearing for public safety an officer discharged his weapon,” the statement said.   \n\n\n\nThe ICE representative said officers had been conducting surveillance on the last known address of an undocumented immigrant who’d been ordered to be removed from the country. They also characterized the person who was shot, and died of their injuries, as undocumented; it wasn’t clear from the ICE statement whether the person who was shot was the person the agents had been seeking. \n\n\n\nBut the office of Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, said he’d been told by Homeland Security Sec. Markwayne Mullin that the person who was killed wasn’t the one for whom they had a warrant. King had earlier relayed to reporters that Mullin told him the slain person had been the target of the operation.\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd Maine immigration advocates said that the person was a 26-year-old man who had work authorization and a Social Security number. \n\n\n\nICE said that the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of the Inspector General was notified about the shooting, which will be investigated, as is standard protocol. \n\n\n\nBiddeford resident Em Akerly said she was still processing the shooting near the intersection of Pool and Hill streets, near her home.  \n\n\n\n“I heard a gunshot. I thought it was a backfire. And then I kept hearing them, and I thought it was a drive-by shooting,” Akerly said. \n\n\n\nMaine Gov. Janet Mills was among the many politicians who decried the shooting, calling it “disturbing and infuriating” in a post on X. She said it highlights “the reckless and haphazard manner in which immigration enforcement operations are being conducted in Maine and across the country.”\n\n\n\nRallies were held throughout the day in Biddeford, a small city south of Portland, and elsewhere in Maine.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau, who represents Biddeford, said in a post on Facebook earlier Monday that a person was killed in a shooting and ICE was involved. He said Maine State Police and the Department of Public Safety were at the scene, which they later confirmed.\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/ryan.fecteau/posts/pfbid0dSMvo3dLpxedyrZwpVbNbdy2HRmgFRv2fYfHVpTXhD1Q2YuiYZcit8rpv5uvVLcCl\n\nBiddeford Police Chief Joanne Fisk confirmed in a statement that the shooting happened around 7 a.m. at the intersection of Pool and Hill streets and involved ICE personnel. \n\n\n\nProject Relief, an immigrant rights advocacy group, wrote in a social media post that one of its community members was killed “during an encounter with ICE in Biddeford” and that it was in contact with the person’s family. The group described the person as “young,” but did not provide an age or other identifying details.\n\n\n\n“This was a young person whose life was cut short,” the group said, calling for justice and support for the family and community.\n\n\n\nBiddeford Saco for Racial Justice planned a noon protest against ICE at Mechanics Park in Biddeford. Protesters have already begun gathering, according to local news reports.\n\n\n\nDemocratic Rep. Chellie Pingree, of Maine, said in a video posted on social media that she was driving to Portland to catch a flight to Washington when she learned of the reported shooting. She said she was seeking answers about the circumstances surrounding the shooting, including whether officers were wearing body cameras, adding, “More than anything else, I want to know, ‘Why are you in Maine?’”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nICE had a significant presence in Maine earlier this year, which resulted in several large demonstrations against the agency.\n\n\n\nThe Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, named the operation “Catch of the Day,” an apparent play on Maine’s seafood industry, just as it has done for other enforcement surges, like “Patriot” in Massachusetts, “Metro Surge” in Minnesota and “Midway Blitz” in Chicago.\n\n\n\nImmigration officials said in late January that they had ceased “enhanced operations” in Maine after making hundreds of arrests. A Homeland Security spokesperson said at the time that some Maine arrests were of people “convicted of horrific crimes including aggravated assault, false imprisonment, and endangering the welfare of a child.” But court records painted a slightly different story: While some had felony convictions, others were detainees with unresolved immigration proceedings or who were arrested but never convicted of a crime.\n\n\n\nThe Trump administration’s immigration crackdowns received widespread condemnation last winter after the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minnesota. Last week, an ICE officer fatally shot Salgado Araujo, 52, of Houston, after he was pursued by federal agents driving unmarked vehicles while he was taking his crew to their latest job site.\n\n\n\nThe Associated Press contributed to this report.\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/person-shot-killed-in-incident-involving-ice-in-maine-house-speaker-says/4048692/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Marc Fortier, Asher Klein and Oscar Margain","publishDate":"2026-07-13T08:57:17.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fmaine-ice.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1440%2C810","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"person-fatally-shot-by-ice-officer-during-maine-traffic-stop"},{"id":"l57z71","title":"Olive Garden's Never-Ending Pasta Pass is back.

Henry McMaster announced at a news conference at the Statehouse on Monday that Nordone would serve the remaining months on Graham’s current term, which expires in January. She will be sworn in Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the Senate schedule who requested anonymity ahead of an announcement.\n\n\n\nNordone will be the first woman to represent the state in the Senate.\n\n\n\n“It is such an honor,” she said, as dozens of Graham staffers and campaign advisers stood behind her, some with eyes glassy from welling tears. “Lindsey has always been there for me. And now, I will be there for him.”\n\n\n\nGraham died on Saturday night at age 71. He never married or had a family of his own, but Nordone was often by her brother’s side for the political touch points of his career, speaking at events and appearing in some of his campaign ads.\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter their parents died at a young age, Graham was left to raise his sister, for whom he later became legal guardian. They were very close, and she was there as he filed reelection paperwork earlier this year, along with her children and grandchildren.\n\n\n\n“To Lindsey, I miss you more than I can even put into words,” Nordone said, emotion rising in her voice. “But I’m going to do this. I got it.”\n\n\n\nIntroducing Nordone, McMaster said the two had spoken in “in the wee hours of Sunday morning” after Graham’s death, and he asked her to serve.\n\n\n\n“I had wondered what you would say, and I was humbled by your quickness to see the duty that you had to serve,” McMaster said. He added that President Donald Trump “thought it was a great idea” when he later told him of his pick. Trump announced his support for Nardone to fill the seat earlier Monday.\n\n\n\nNordone has worked as an optician and at various state agencies, including the South Carolina Commission for the Blind and the Department of Employment and Workforce. She lives in Lexington, is a graduate of the College of Charleston and has a master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow will a special primary work?\n\n\n\nA special election will be held next month to pick a new Republican nominee in the general election for Graham’s seat. He had been seeking a fifth term this year.\n\n\n\nThe rare open Senate seat has ignited a scramble among South Carolina’s most ambitious conservatives, who have been eager to climb the political ladder.\n\n\n\nRepublicans just finished a sprawling and bruising contest to figure out their nominee for succeeding McMaster, who is wrapping up his second term. State Attorney General Alan Wilson won the nomination, overcoming a field that included Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, Rep. Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman — all of whom are now eyeing Graham’s seat following his death over the weekend.\n\n\n\nAccording to South Carolina law, a one-week filing period for a special primary election begins on the second Tuesday after the candidate’s death, or July 21.\n\n\n\nThe special primary election would be held on the second Tuesday after that filing period closes, or Aug. 11. Any necessary runoff would follow two weeks after that, or Aug. 25.\n\n\n\nFrom that point, the new nominee would have just over two months to campaign for the general election on Nov. 3.\n\n\n\nAll of this is problematic according to federal law, which requires military and overseas ballots to go out 45 days before any federal election. For the special election primary, that would have been June 27. Federal Election Commission officials didn’t immediately return a message seeking clarity about the process.\n\n\n\n\n\nWho could replace Graham?\n\n\n\nGraham died on Saturday night, and a preliminary medical examiner report said he suffered a tear in his aorta, known as an aortic dissection.\n\n\n\nIn the hours after Graham’s death was announced, South Carolina’s Republican circles were already swirling with rumors about possible replacements. Given the proximity of November’s election, it’s likely that whomever McMaster appoints could be a top contender in the special primary, although it’s possible that McMaster’s choice will only serve as a temporary caretaker.\n\n\n\nEvette, who has served nearly eight years alongside McMaster and received his endorsement in the governor’s race, is one possibility. She lost the June 23 runoff to Wilson.\n\n\n\nA person with knowledge of Evette’s thinking but not authorized to discuss it publicly said that she was getting encouragement from across the state and feels she would have good chances in the special primary.\n\n\n\nIt’s unlikely that any House member would be appointed to finish Graham’s current term, since Republicans have such a slim majority in the chamber.\n\n\n\nU.S. Rep. Joe Wilson, a rumored replacement, said he assured Trump on Sunday that “my goal is to remain in the House to keep his two-vote majority for the American people!!!”\n\n\n\nHowever, that doesn’t mean that House members won’t run for the next full term. A person with knowledge of Mace’s thinking but not authorized to speak about it publicly said she was considering the race. Mace is not running for reelection to the House.\n\n\n\nBut another Republican from the state, Rep. Russell Fry, could be a possibility. The two-term lawmaker represents the growing area around Myrtle Beach, and he’s been a top Trump ally.\n\n\n\nBusinessman Mark Lynch, whom Graham defeated in the primary, could also jump into the race. A person familiar with but not authorized to speak publicly about the thinking of Mark Sanford — South Carolina’s former governor who also served two separate stints in the U.S. House — said he was considering it, too.\n\n\n\nTreasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who lived in South Carolina before joining the Trump administration, has fielded calls about potentially replacing Graham but doesn’t have interest in the role and enjoys working for the president, according to a person who insisted on anonymity to describe private conversations.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDonald Trump\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 12\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump says he spoke with Sen.

When Graham last ran in 2020, he defeated his Democratic opponent, Jaime Harrison, by a 10 percentage point margin.\n\n\n\nSo while history suggests that Graham was en route to a fifth term, Republicans are carefully surveying the landscape.\n\n\n\nCharleston pediatrician Annie Andrews won the Democratic nomination last month and has raised more than $8 million in the race, and she had just under $3 million cash on hand at the end of May, according to federal filings. Graham had taken in $6 million, with just over $4 million on hand.\n\n\n\nIn a statement Sunday, Andrews called on South Carolinians to join her “in setting partisanship aside and offering gratitude” to Graham for his service.\n\n\n\nHarrison, noting that he and Graham “had our share of political disagreements,” wrote on social media that he “always appreciated that even in our fiercest political battles, we could still share a conversation, a laugh, and a mutual respect for South Carolina and the institutions we were both privileged to serve.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/politics/who-will-replace-lindsey-graham-south-carolina-senate-seat/4048548/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Meg Kinnard | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-13T08:22:25.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FDARLINE-GRAHAM-NORDONE.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C675","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"south-carolina-governor-appoints-lindsey-grahams-sister-to-finish-his-senate-term"},{"id":"zakh33","title":"New Braunfels resident claims $20M scratch ticket prize","excerpt":"A New Braunfels resident has won $20 million with a top prize-winning ticket in the Texas Lottery's scratch ticket game $20 Million Supreme.","content":"A New Braunfels resident has won $20 million with a top prize-winning ticket in the Texas Lottery's scratch ticket game $20 Million Supreme.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/new-braunfels-resident-scratch-ticket-prize-texas-lottery","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Elizabeth.Evans@fox.com (Elizabeth Evans)","publishDate":"2026-07-14T17:36:45.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox7austin.com%2Fwww.fox7austin.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F02%2Ftexas-lottery.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"new-braunfels-resident-claims-20m-scratch-ticket-prize"},{"id":"4xg6zw","title":"H-E-B reopens fire-damaged North Fort Worth store Saturday","excerpt":"The H-E-B grocery store in far North Fort Worth has reopened as of 8 a.m. Saturday morning after closing its doors for repairs after a fire broke out Thursday night.\n\n\n\nAccording to the Fort Worth Fire Department, firefighters were called to the store on Heritage Trace Parkway just after 8 p.m. T...","content":"The H-E-B grocery store in far North Fort Worth has reopened as of 8 a.m. Saturday morning after closing its doors for repairs after a fire broke out Thursday night.\n\n\n\nAccording to the Fort Worth Fire Department, firefighters were called to the store on Heritage Trace Parkway just after 8 p.m. Thursday when contractors working on refrigerant lines inside the store reported hearing a loud bang and then seeing flames.\n\n\n\nFire officials said the workers tried to put out the fire with extinguishers, but by the time firefighters arrived, it had spread to the back of the building.\n\n\n\nFort Worth Fire said an aggressive attack by the first firefighters who arrived at the grocery store, along with the store’s fire suppression system, helped bring the fire under control in about 15 minutes.

After detectives and investigators with the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office talked with witnesses, the scene was cleared.\n\n\n\nPolice said preliminary information indicates the fetus was between 5 and 6 months of gestation and was “intentionally discarded at the location.” Investigators did not reveal any other information about the child or say whether they found evidence indicating the child was delivered at the park.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the child’s identity and other characteristics.\n\n\n\nAccording to the Mayo Clinic, babies at 22 to 26 weeks’ gestation are in the second trimester and can be about nine inches long and weigh about two pounds.

They were led by an affable Brazilian professor named Antonio Paes, who briefly scanned the classroom and selected one group to present their final project. \n\n\n\n“Yes, you go. I saw you debating about it,” Paes announced, provoking laughs. \n\n\n\nAs the North Texas AI boom surges, how is AI impacting your daily work life, and how has it changed your career choices?\n\n\n\nThe three soft-spoken young men took the front of the classroom and — after some brief technical difficulties — began running the sophisticated AI modeling system they had created over the past week. As AI-generated code scrolled on a large projector, they explained that their program, called Chain Pilot, was designed to help businesses adjust to real-world supply chain shocks by continuously monitoring inventory and pricing. It was designed to sometimes automatically implement solutions, saving human managers critical time; in a more unique twist, it also incorporates multiple AI agents, including a “skeptic” agent and an “advocate” agent, that are intentionally pitted against each other to help humans select the optimum solution to bigger problems. Later, another small group presented their customizable AI-powered travel planner. Another, the final group, explained how its AI model crawled the internet to identify competitors’ pricing history and offer detailed recommendations. \n\n\n\nClick here to read more on this report from our partners at The Dallas Morning News.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/texas-universities-are-offering-ai-degrees-is-it-the-answer-for-a-changing-workforce/4047686/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Trevor Bach, Staff Writer | The Dallas Morning News","publishDate":"2026-07-10T09:33:33.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2019%2F09%2FUNT-North-Texas-Denton.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"tx-universities-are-offering-ai-degrees-is-it-the-answer-for-a-changing-workforce"},{"id":"ccbx1r","title":"‘It's like no other season,' Wings CEO talks success and move to downtown Dallas","excerpt":"The Dallas Wings have the fourth-best record in the league, setting them up for a potential playoff spot.

At 14-8, this is the best start in team history after 22 games.\n\n\n\nIn addition to the team’s success, the Wings have two starters in the WNBA All-Star Game: Paige Bueckers and Jessica Shepard. Paige received the most votes of any player (1,045,051).\n\n\n\n\n\n“We had the good fortune to draft Paige Bueckers number one overall last year and then Azzi Fudd number one overall this year. We had a big free agent signing with Jessica Shepard in the offseason,” Dallas Wings CEO Greg Bibb said. “She’s been fantastic. She’s one of our two all-star starters, along with Paige. So it’s been a great summer thus far.”\n\n\n\nWhile their home court is at the University of Texas at Arlington, they will host three games at the American Airlines Center this season. The first will be Sunday, July 12, at 6 p.m. vs. the Chicago Sky.\n\n\n\nIt’s the start of their slow but sure move from Arlington to downtown Dallas.\n\n\n\n\n\n“The Wings are close to finalizing an agreement to play all of their 2027 home games at American Airlines Center. The team has an agreement with the City of Dallas to begin play in a renovated Dallas Memorial Auditorium beginning in 2028,” Bibb said.\n\n\n\nBibb said the new practice facility in West Dallas will be ready by the 2027 training camp in April.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe team is also finalizing arrangements to play all of its games at the AAC next season.\n\n\n\nBibb said that for the team, this is about more than just what happens on the court. One way they continue to stay involved in their community is through their unique mentorship program.\n\n\n\n“We have a program where, once a year, we allow the players to identify someone from their life who has played an integral part in their rise to becoming a professional basketball player. It could be a parent, a sibling, a friend or a former coach. This year, we had an individual coming from Italy; we had another one from Australia. We bring them on the road with us for a game. They attend practice, they attend meetings, we have a formal dinner, and they come to the game. During that dinner, we asked the player to stand up and talk about their mentor and how they’ve impacted their life and of all the things we do it’s my personal favorite because it’s really a powerful night and it allows us all to take a second and express our gratitude to those who helped us all get to this very special place of professional sports,” Bibb said.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/wnba/its-like-no-other-season-dallas-wings-ceo-talks-success-move-to-downtown/4047624/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Laura Harris","publishDate":"2026-07-10T07:45:15.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2283823165.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5796%2C3864","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"its-like-no-other-season-wings-ceo-talks-success-and-move-to-downtown-dallas"},{"id":"x3ik0i","title":"Deep Vellum to host new Music and Literature Festival in Dallas this weekend","excerpt":"Friday evening will kick off Deep Vellum’s inauguralMusic and Literature Festival in Downtown Dallas. \n\n\n\nThe three day event is happening in Deep Ellum, which is the inspiration for Deep Vellum’s name.

The non-profit, which was created in 2013, is a publishing house, bookstore and literary arts center. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“It’s all about celebrating the Deep Ellum community, the Dallas literary community, and what our mission is all about: bringing the world’s best writers to Dallas, celebrating with our own amazing writers who call North Texas home, and bringing readers into these conversations that they might not have otherwise, and celebrating it all with music in the mix. Deep Ellum has such a rich legacy of music history, and we’re all about celebrating that and elevating it and having a really special time in this amazing Texas cultural district we call home,” said Will Evans, founder and CEO of Deep Vellum. \n\n\n\nThe festival will take place across 11 different venues in Deep Ellum. More than 60 literary and music artists are scheduled in the lineup for the weekend. \n\n\n\nThe day events are free with registration. The evening shows are available for purchase. Evans said they’re expecting thousands to show up for their first-ever festival. \n\n\n\n“I think that’s what the beauty of what a book can do. You open up the pages and you’re transported into another world inside the minds and the hearts of a writer and the characters that he or she creates and that conversation that happens between the reader and the writer is so special. And then these conversations between the reader and writer in public, hearing about the creation, the inspiration, how it’s done and what it means, and the author can feel that impact, that dialog coming back from the readers,” said Evans. “That’s what this is really about too. It’s not just for readers to get to see their favorite author. If the favorite author wants to hear from you, the reader, you have a voice in that story and that’s what it’s about. Dallas has a story. Literary Dallas is such a rich ecosystem.”\n\n\n\nAward-winning poet, essayist and cultural critic Hanif Abdurraqib, originally from Columbus, Ohio, will headline Saturday night’s show. Musician and poet Jamila Woods, who is from the South Side of Chicago, will also headline on Saturday. \n\n\n\nDuring the day, there will be poetry readings, musical performances and different panels. \n\n\n\n“One of my favorite events we’re super passionate about here is all day Saturday; we’re gonna have the poets of Dallas reading outside of Poets Bookshop on Main Street Plaza. And when you’re there, you’re gonna get to see the vast and truly extraordinary diversity of styles and backgrounds that all these amazing poets who call our own city home. We are not just a local book market. We are a part of the world. Dallas is a part the world, so we’re bringing the world to Dallas and Dallas to the world at the same time. That’s the Deep Vellum way,” expressed Evans.\n\n\n\nTo find free tickets click here.\n\n\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/deep-vellum-to-host-new-music-and-literature-festival-in-dallas-this-weekend/4047610/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Sophia Beausoleil","publishDate":"2026-07-10T07:30:01.000Z","category":"library","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FHeadliner-Announcement-e1783687237692.png%3Ffit%3D1080%2C608%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"deep-vellum-to-host-new-music-and-literature-festival-in-dallas-this-weekend"},{"id":"n5izo9","title":"Millions in Texas face serious dayslong flash flooding threat","excerpt":"Millions across Texas face the risk of flash flooding this week.","content":"Millions across Texas face the risk of flash flooding this week.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/weather/texas-flash-flooding-threat","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Aaron.Barker@fox.com (Aaron Barker)","publishDate":"2026-07-14T17:02:06.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox7austin.com%2Fwww.fox7austin.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fflooding.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"millions-in-texas-face-serious-dayslong-flash-flooding-threat"},{"id":"rktmnq","title":"Dallas police searching for teenage murder suspect accused of shooting mother of 4","excerpt":"Dallas police are searching for a 19-year-old, Jordan Hooker, who they say shot and killed a mother of four, Kayli Lopez, back in February.

Both teams have yet to lose in the competition.\n\n\n\nSpain, the reigning European champions, have yet to allow a goal in the tournament. Their goalkeeper Unai Simón has only had to make six saves across five matches. They’re led by teenage superstar Lamine Yamal, who plays for FC Barcelona, and former Ballon d’Or winner Rodri, of Manchester City. Spain has actually won 36 competitive matches since March 2023, including a win over Portugal on Monday. Belgium is unbeaten in 18 matches across all competitions.\n\n\n\n\n\nYamal only has one goal this tournament, but he’s often been guarded with two or three defenders, and his teammates and coaches say they’re quite satisfied with his overall tournament performance, which began with limited playing time in the group matches while he returned from a hamstring injury incurred in April with Barcelona.\n\n\n\n\n\n“Maybe he hasn’t contributed goals, but he brings all the attack,” midfielder Gavi said. “He’s incredible. I hope that now, if we win, hopefully in the semifinals or the final, too, if we win, then he scores goals so people understand what he does for us.”\n\n\n\nSpain won its only World Cup in 2010. They’ve only reached the last four twice: 1950 and 2010.\n\n\n\n\n\nBelgium is headlined by some senior members of their ‘golden generation,’ like goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, Kevin De Bruyne, who did not play against the U.S., and Romelu Lukaku, who scored against the U.S. Lukaku has as many career World Cup goals as Diego Maradona (8).\n\n\n\n“Tomorrow we need to play the perfect game if we want to proceed,” said Lukaku, Belgium’s career goals leader. “Spain is an excellent team. They’ve been playing the same type of football since 2008. They’re well prepared, but we have certain assets that can make life difficult for them. We love the challenge.”\n\n\n\nThey also have younger stars like Youri Tielemans and Jeremy Doku.\n\n\n\nBelgium is coming off a dominant 4-1 win over the USMNT. They’ve reached the quarterfinal four times before, three in the last four tournaments alone. They’ve never won a World Cup.\n\n\n\nBelgium lost midfielder Amadou Onana to a knee injury this week, forcing a tactical change to preserve its defensive structure. That change might simply be the return of De Bruyne, who likely didn’t play against the U.S. to keep him in top condition for Friday’s match.\n\n\n\nSpain and Belgium have met twice in World Cups before: a 1986 Belgium win in penalties and a 1990 2-1 Spain win.\n\n\n\nThis is the last of 8 games at Los Angeles Stadium (SOFI).\n\n\n\n\n\nThe winner of this game will play France on Tuesday at 2 p.m. – the first semifinal and the last game at Dallas Stadium.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/belgium-spain-playing-for-spot-in-dallas-stadium-semifinal-against-france/4047585/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"GREG BEACHAM | The Associated Press and Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-07-10T06:30:22.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2284977842.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D6000%2C4000","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"belgium-spain-playing-for-spot-in-dallas-stadium-semifinal-against-france"},{"id":"xzmml","title":"Former Dallas ISD Superintendent Michael Hinojosa runs for Dallas Mayor","excerpt":"Former Dallas ISD Superintendent Michael Hinojosa has officially filed paperwork to run for Mayor of Dallas, citing his past financial management experience as key to addressing the city's current budget and downtown sports franchise challenges.","content":"Former Dallas ISD Superintendent Michael Hinojosa has officially filed paperwork to run for Mayor of Dallas, citing his past financial management experience as key to addressing the city's current budget and downtown sports franchise challenges.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/former-dallas-isd-superintendent-michael-hinojosa-runs-dallas-mayor","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Shaun.Rabb@fox.com (Shaun Rabb)","publishDate":"2026-07-13T23:19:52.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2F4p-h2-hinojosa-mayoral-run_00.00.12.16.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"former-dallas-isd-superintendent-michael-hinojosa-runs-for-dallas-mayor"},{"id":"mhvu3q","title":"DART to name CEO finalist on Tuesday","excerpt":"Dallas' biggest public transportation company will vote on who they want their next President and CEO to be tomorrow.","content":"Dallas' biggest public transportation company will vote on who they want their next President and CEO to be tomorrow.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/dart-name-ceo-finalist-tuesday","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Lori.Brown@fox.com (Lori Brown)","publishDate":"2026-07-13T22:21:39.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fv-dart-ceo-candidate-photo_00.00.00.00.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dart-to-name-ceo-finalist-on-tuesday"},{"id":"z0jsva","title":"Cyclosporiasis outbreak possibly tied to salad greens, lettuce, MDHHS says","excerpt":"Michigan health officials are pointing to lettuce or salad greens as a potential source behind the outbreak of cyclosporiasis that is spreading throughout the state.","content":"Michigan health officials are pointing to lettuce or salad greens as a potential source behind the outbreak of cyclosporiasis that is spreading throughout the state.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/cyclosporiasis-outbreak-possibly-tied-salad-greens-lettuce-mdhhs-says","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","publishDate":"2026-07-13T21:03:47.000Z","category":"library","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox2detroit.com%2Fwww.fox2detroit.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fbhdn_6a-nv-new-cj-barrymore-coaster_wjbk69c4_146.00_00_03_00.still001.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"cyclosporiasis-outbreak-possibly-tied-to-salad-greens-lettuce-mdhhs-says"},{"id":"xp402j","title":"South Carolina governor announces Sen.

Trump separately suggested the United States will charge other ships for safe passage, upending hundreds of years of American policy supporting freedom of navigation across the globe.\n\n\n\nIran responded with attacks targeting Bahrain and two tankers associated with the United Arab Emirates traveling through the strait, killing one mariner and wounding eight others. The Emirates threatened to retaliate against Iran, potentially drawing the nation home to Abu Dhabi and Dubai back into fighting with Tehran.\n\n\n\nThe attacks come as Iran and the U.S. both vie for control of the strait through which a fifth of all crude oil and natural gas once passed in peacetime. The price of benchmark Brent crude oil rose to a one-month high of over $84 in trading early Tuesday, still well below the nearly $120 reached at the height of the war but threatening to make costs everywhere higher.\n\n\n\nTrump insists strait will be open\n\n\n\nU.S. Central Command announced on social media that the U.S. military had begun another round of strikes against Iran.\n\n\n\n“These strikes will continue imposing a heavy cost on Iranian forces and degrade their ability to attack innocent civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz,” the U.S. military said.\n\n\n\nMoments after the military announced the new strikes, Trump called it “another major attack.”\n\n\n\n“We’re hitting them very hard. And it’ll continue, and we’ll see what happens,” he told reporters in the Oval Office. “We’re knocking out all of their offensive capability and we’re controlling the straits. We’re putting the blockade back.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrump also provided new details on his administration doing an about-face and suggesting it will charge tolls for ships going through the strait, after previously suggesting that it wouldn’t.\n\n\n\n“We’re protecting a very rich portion of the world,” he said. “We’re spending money. And so, what we’ve done is, we are going to be reimbursed for protection.”\n\n\n\nIt’s a change in U.S. policy that, until now, said the strait should remain open to all without tolls — as it was before the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28. Any attempt by the U.S. or Iran to charge fees would violate global norms on freedom of navigation and raise tensions, likely causing further economic disruption far beyond the region.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. Navy has fought for freedom of navigation on the seas since the Barbary Wars and the War of 1812.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImmigration\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 7\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tU.S. illegally shared confidential info on asylum seekers with Iran, lawsuit alleges\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWar with Iran\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 1\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe AP reconstructs a U.S. strike that killed over 100 Iranian children\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nAttacks resume across the Mideast\n\n\n\nThe United Arab Emirates’ Defense Ministry said early Tuesday that Iran attacked two tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, killing one mariner and wounding eight others.\n\n\n\nThe Emirati Defense Ministry said Iran launched two cruise missiles at the tankers Mombasa and Al Bahiyah.\n\n\n\nThe attacks set both tankers ablaze, though the fires were extinguished.\n\n\n\nIran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard claimed the attack on the tankers, saying the vessels “ignored repeated warnings.”\n\n\n\n“They chose to pass through a minefield and were subsequently targeted and disabled,” the Guard said.\n\n\n\nBahrain also came under renewed attack early Tuesday morning as Iran retaliated over the latest round of U.S. airstrikes. Bahrain sounded its missile alert sirens twice, urging the public to seek shelter. There was no word on any damage or casualties from the attack.\n\n\n\nThe Emirati Defense Ministry said the attack on the tankers killed one Indian national and wounded six Indians and two Ukrainians.\n\n\n\n“The UAE reserves its full right to respond to this escalation and to take all necessary measures to protect its territory, its citizens and residents,” the Defense Ministry added.\n\n\n\nThe Emirates used similar language before launching attacks against Iran during the war. Fighter jets could be heard overheard Tuesday morning in Dubai.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the U.S. Consulate in Dubai alerted Americans early Tuesday that consular appointments had been canceled through Wednesday “due to the regional security situation.”\n\n\n\nTrump says Iran failed a test\n\n\n\nEarlier Monday, Trump told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt that the agreement reached last month was “built to test” Iran, adding that “when you’re dealing with sleazebags (agreements) don’t mean much.”\n\n\n\n“They didn’t honor the test,” the president said.\n\n\n\nIran asserts it has the right to manage traffic through the strait and potentially charge fees in accordance with the interim peace deal. The U.S. has disputed that.\n\n\n\nThe American military and the United Nations’ International Maritime Organization have tried to establish a route through the strait along the coast of Oman that would be outside of Iranian control. Iran has attacked ships using that route, saying the U.S. is violating the interim peace deal. The U.S. has attacked Iran in response, drawing Iranian attacks on U.S.-allied Arab states.\n\n\n\nExchanges of fire in recent days had already cast further doubt on the interim peace deal. Washington had lifted a blockade it imposed in mid-April as part of that deal, which also called for the strait to be fully reopened.\n\n\n\n“We are reinstating the THE IRANIAN BLOCKADE,” Trump said on social media. “All other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait.”\n\n\n\nThe president said the U.S. would be “reimbursed” by 20% of the value of cargo to help cover “any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security.”\n\n\n\nThe U.S. military said it will resume its blockade of Iranian ports at midnight local Wednesday in Dubai.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoak, Weissert and Toropin reported from Washington.

Firefighters initially entered the structure to attack the fire, but conditions quickly worsened and crews transitioned to a defensive operation as the blaze spread.\n\n\n\nThe fire escalated to a three-alarm response, bringing about 60 to 70 firefighters and multiple ladder trucks to the scene.\n\n\n\nOfficials said the building sustained significant damage, including multiple roof collapses. At least 24 individually owned condominium units were destroyed.\n\n\n\nFirefighters had extinguished the main body of the fire by about 7 a.m., but crews remained on scene throughout the morning after several hot spots reignited. As of 11 a.m., ladder trucks were still spraying water on portions of the damaged structure.\n\n\n\nNo injuries have been reported, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.\n\n\n\nResidents who spoke to NBC 5 described frantic efforts to escape as smoke filled hallways and stairwells.\n\n\n\nOne elderly resident said she had difficulty finding her way out of the building because of the heavy smoke.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“When I came outside of my condo, I didn’t see anything,” she said. “I had to drop to my knees and start crawling down three flights of stairs.”\n\n\n\nMany residents escaped with little more than the clothes they were wearing, while neighbors helped one another evacuate children and elderly residents.\n\n\n\nAmong those displaced is Sayra Myrick, a 14-year old girl who said she and her 21-year old brother were living in the condo while their father remains hospitalized on life support because of an illness.\n\n\n\nNow after losing their home, she says their future remains uncertain.\n\n\n\n“It like really caught me off guard when this happened out of nowhere,” she said. “When I saw it fully on fire, my brain just shut down,” she said. “I just stood there for like a good minute just staring at that apartment. It really distressed me, honestly.”\n\n\n\nDallas Fire Rescue estimates that about 45 residents were displaced by the fire. However, relief organizations are assisting even more people affected by the incident.\n\n\n\nThe local chapter of the American Red Cross said it is helping not only residents whose homes were destroyed, but also people from a neighboring building who were evacuated, lost power or experienced water damage from firefighting efforts. In total, approximately 80 people are receiving assistance.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Lake Highlands YMCA has been established as a temporary assistance center for affected residents and families. The Red Cross is providing meals, water, snacks and toiletries while working with Dallas Emergency Management to secure temporary housing options.\n\n\n\nDART is also helping transport residents who cannot access their vehicles because of fire hoses, debris or emergency operations around the complex.\n\n\n\nRed Cross officials said the YMCA site is expected to remain open through 8 p.m. Friday while the agencies continue working to arrange longer term accommodations for displaced residents.\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/3-alarm-condo-fire-in-northeast-dallas-displaces-dozens/4047532/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Alanna Quillen","publishDate":"2026-07-10T05:07:35.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fposter-frame-13.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"3-alarm-condo-fire-in-northeast-dallas-displaces-dozens-of-residents"},{"id":"m36zq4","title":"How a dermatologist monitors herself for skin cancer and the ‘big sign' a mole may be melanoma","excerpt":"Skin cancer is sneaky, but it can be caught early with the watchful eye of a dermatologist.\n\n\n\nDr. Michelle Henry, founder of Skin & Aesthetic Surgery of Manhattan, sometimes spots it on patients who book a visit for other reasons.

The last melanoma she found was on a woman who came in for laser skin resurfacing. When she took off her cardigan, Henry saw it on her forearm.\n\n\n\nThe doctor and clinical instructor of dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical College turns that watchful eye on herself as well.\n\n\n\n“I’m constantly surveying my skin,” Henry, who serves on the board of the Melanoma Research Foundation, tells TODAY.com.\n\n\n\n“I have the same sort of vigilance that I have with my patients for myself. I use sunscreen, I reapply, I wear a hat, I wear sunglasses.”\n\n\n\nMany people regularly check their skin for suspicious spots, but they often miss “double-covered areas” hidden beneath underwear or socks, she says, including buttocks or soles of feet. The scalp and the skin behind the ears are other commonly missed places where skin cancer can lurk.\n\n\n\nTo monitor herself for skin cancer, Henry performs at-home checks on her body every month, and has a colleague look at areas she can’t see as well. Her hairstylist checks her scalp at every visit and takes pictures of any new spots. Photos are important because “memory is not perfect” so the images can be used for comparison over time, she notes.\n\n\n\nThe dermatologist also checks her nails whenever she gets a manicure to check for signs of acral lentiginous melanoma, which can grow on the extremities.\n\n\n\n“I always remind everyone that’s what Bob Marley died of, so I’m always paying attention to my hands and feet, and those areas that I know (melanoma) can be really devastating in darker skin types,” Henry says.\n\n\n\nKnowing what she knows, here are skin cancer symptoms Henry pays attention to in her own body:\n\n\n\nSuspicious mole\n\n\n\nHenry looks for the ABCDEs of melanoma, the deadliest type of skin cancer:\n\n\n\nAsymmetry\n\n\n\nThis means a mole’s one half doesn’t match the other — they should be roughly mirror images of each other, she notes.\n\n\n\nBorder\n\n\n\nShe checks if a mole’s border is irregular, scalloped or poorly defined. She also notices if a mole has an “offshoot — like one part of the mole looks like it’s growing faster or changing more rapidly.”\n\n\n\nColor\n\n\n\nA mole that’s ink black or has multiple colors is suspicious.\n\n\n\nDiameter\n\n\n\n“It should be smaller than a pencil eraser, although many melanomas are smaller,” Henry says. “But the larger it is, the more concerning.”\n\n\n\nEvolving\n\n\n\nBesides moles that change shape or color, Henry is also on the lookout for new ones. “I’m in my mid-40s. After the age of 40, really any new mole becomes concerning. We don’t expect as many new moles,” she says.\n\n\n\nWhich of these signs would be most worrisome? The dermatologist says it’s hard to pick one since the more features a mole has, the more concerning it is.\n\n\n\n“(But) at the end of the day, melanoma is a cancer of the pigment itself. So if you see something that looks completely ink black, that is going to be a big sign for you that that might be a melanoma,” Henry says.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n‘Ugly duckling’ mole\n\n\n\nThis is a mole that stands out because it just looks or feels different from other spots on the body. The ugly duckling mole could also be the sole lesion in a part of the body that doesn’t have any other spots.\n\n\n\n“Our bodies are kind of boring creatures. … (They’re) literally machines of habit, and we kind of pump out the same things again and again,” Henry says.\n\n\n\n“So if you see a mole that looks interesting, that’s not a good thing.”\n\n\n\nMole with symptoms\n\n\n\nAny spot that itches, bleeds, feels painful, turns white or just doesn’t heal piques Henry’s suspicion.\n\n\n\nIt’s also important to notice unexplained weight loss or lumps where lymph nodes are located.\n\n\n\n“In my skin exams, I check everyone’s lymph nodes, because you can get swollen lymph nodes if you have a melanoma or skin cancer in that area,” she says.\n\n\n\nStreaks on nails\n\n\n\nA vertical dark line on a nail can be a sign of acral lentiginous melanoma.\n\n\n\nAny new streak on the nail should be checked out, especially one that’s wider than 3 millimeters, is ink black or disrupting the texture and surface of the skin, Henry says.\n\n\n\nPearly bump or scaly patch\n\n\n\nA pearly bump can be a sign of basal cell carcinoma, the most common type of skin cancer. A scaly patch may indicate squamous cell carcinoma.\n\n\n\nHow to get help\n\n\n\nRegularly check your skin, and if you see something, say something, Henry advises patients.\n\n\n\n“It will never be a bother to me, but it could save your life,” she says.\n\n\n\n“We also don’t want people to live in a constant state of anxiety, worried about every mole on their body. That’s why I always tell my patients, ‘Let me worry. All you have to do is come in once a year. Let me check your moles.’”\n\n\n\nMost dermatologists now use a dermatoscope, a handheld magnifying device that lets them see deeper into the skin and observe its structures and pigment in a way they could never see with the naked eye, Henry adds. It reduces biopsies of benign moles.\n\n\n\nBut she will quickly biopsy her own skin if she finds a concerning spot.\n\n\n\n“If I see something, I do something. I don’t wait, because I’ve seen these things progress really rapidly. So the best thing we can do is early prevention,” Henry says.\n\n\n\nRegular eye exams can reveal ocular melanoma inside the eye. Gynecologist checks can discover vaginal melanoma.\n\n\n\nPreventing skin cancer\n\n\n\nJuly is UV Awareness Month. Exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun is a risk factor for all types of skin cancer.\n\n\n\nTo protect herself, Henry uses a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB rays. She likes both chemical and mineral sunscreens, applying SPF 30 for daily use, and SPF 50 if she’s outside for more than an hour.\n\n\n\nThe doctor is enthusiastic about bemotrizinol (BEMT), a sunscreen ingredient that’s popular in Europe and has just been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.\n\n\n\nIt has broader UVA coverage than current options, is more stable — meaning it doesn’t break down in the sun — and is less irritating, Henry says. It also “blends beautifully into skin,” she adds.\n\n\n\n“Dermatologists are over-the-moon excited that we now have this option,” she says. “We’re hoping that this addition will improve compliance and save lives.”\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

He was 78.\n\n\n\nIn 2023, Neill disclosed he had been diagnosed with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Neill died on Monday in Sydney, according to a statement posted to the actor’s social media page.\n\n\n\nHis death was “sudden and unexpected,” the statement said, adding that he “remained cancer free” when he died. A cause of death wasn’t specified.\n\n\n\n“Sam was surrounded by family and passed with the dignity that has characterised his whole life,” his family wrote.\n\n\n\nNeil was one of a host of actors and directors who achieved international fame after an explosion of Australian films that began in the late 1970s, a list that includes Paul Hogan, Mel Gibson, Geoffrey Rush, Russell Crowe, Jane Campion, Peter Weir and Gillian Armstrong. His range was remarkable, playing opposite Helena Bonham Carter in the Alan Ayckbourn comedy “Sweet Revenge” to chopping off Hunter’s finger in “The Piano” to poking his own eyes out in the sci-fi horror “Event Horizon.”\n\n\n\nIn “Omen III: The Final Conflict,” he played Damien the Antichrist and he also played Cardinal Thomas Wolsey in “The Tudors.”\n\n\n\nThe actor first came to the attention of international audiences in Armstrong’s 1979 film “My Brilliant Career,” which also introduced Judy Davis. He later appeared in Phillip Noyce’s “Dead Calm,” a classy thriller set at sea and co-starring the then-relatively unknown Nicole Kidman.\n\n\n\nNeill twice co-starred with Meryl Streep, in Australian director Fred Schepisi’s “Plenty” and — again for Schepisi — in “A Cry in the Dark,” a film about the sensationalized aftermath of a dingo killing a baby in the Australian Outback. He earned an Emmy nomination for his performance in the title role of the 1998 mini-series “Merlin” and another as narrator of 2017’s “Wild New Zealand.”\n\n\n\nBut perhaps he achieved his highest level of fame in “Jurassic Park” playing paleontologist Alan Grant, who is summoned to an island off Costa Rica where a theme park has been built to house herds of cloned dinosaurs. He co-starred alongside Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum and Richard Attenborough.\n\n\n\nHis character was thoughtful and reasonable, a scientist who warned the mastermind of the theme park before the chaos: “Dinosaurs and man, two species separated by 65 million years of evolution have just been suddenly thrown back into the mix together. How can we possibly have the slightest idea what to expect?”\n\n\n\nGrant survived the harrowing events when the creatures get loose, but didn’t return for “The Lost World: Jurassic Park II” in 1997. He came back for the third episode in 2001 and “Jurassic World: Dominion” in 2022.\n\n\n\n“It’s probably a little late to learn these things,” he told the Daily New of New York in 2001, “but I finally feel I’ve worked out how to be an action hero. I’m happier with Grant this time. He’s gnarly and grizzled, but he looks like he knows what he’s doing.”\n\n\n\nSam Neill on Thursday, March 7, 2024.\n\n\n\nBorn in 1947 in Northern Ireland, Neill emigrated to New Zealand at the age of 7. His family settled in Dunedin on the South Island and he was sent to boarding school in Christchurch. After college, he took the lead in “Sleeping Dogs” in 1977, the first feature made in New Zealand in more than a decade.\n\n\n\nNeill’s other film roles included playing a Soviet submarine officer who memorably dreams of a home in Montana in “The Hunt for Red October” and an investigator in director John Carpenter’s “In the Mouth of Madness.”\n\n\n\nOn the small screen, Neill played the malign Chester Campbell in TV’s “Peaky Blinders” and Thomas Jefferson in the four-hour CBS miniseries, “Sally Hemings: An American Tragedy.” On Apple TV+, he was on “Invasion,” playing Oklahoma Sheriff John Bell Tyson, a man late in his career searching for his purpose. In 2024 he starred opposite Annette Bening in the Peacock series “Apples Never Fall.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNeill was also a vintner and under his Two Paddocks brand, he produced pinot noir and riesling wines from his winery in the Central Otago region of New Zealand’s South Island.\n\n\n\nOn social media, he often posted images of his farm animals, many of them affectionately named after celebrities and friends, like Laura Dern the chicken, Kylie Minogue the duck and Helena Bonham Carter the cow.\n\n\n\nHis memoir “Did I Ever Tell You This?” came out in March 2023 and he was awarded a knighthood in recognition of his “outstanding contribution to film,” a title approved by the late Queen Elizabeth II.\n\n\n\n“I can’t pretend that the last year hasn’t had its dark moments,” Neill told The Guardian in 2023, referring to his cancer diagnosis and treatment. “But those dark moments throw the light into sharp relief, you know, and have made me grateful for every day and immensely grateful for all my friends.”\n\n\n\nHe is survived by four children and eight grandchildren.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/sam-neill-actor-jurassic-park-dies/4048461/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-13T01:16:46.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-129739245.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2949%2C1960","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"actor-sam-neill-known-for-jurassic-park-and-the-piano-dies-at-78"},{"id":"m3z31p","title":"Worried about high cortisol?

But lately, wellness influencers may have you convinced you should get rid of everything in your life that “triggers” a rise in cortisol.\n\n\n\nClaims that “high cortisol” is causing your bloating, poor sleep and fatigue abound online, but the reality is high cortisol is actually a diagnosable medical condition, known as Cushing’s syndrome, and it’s rare, Syal explains.\n\n\n\nSo, rather than chasing unverified hacks to lower your cortisol, it’s more effective to talk to a health care provider about your symptoms and try to manage your stress, Syal says.\n\n\n\nMental health tip of the day: Find a stress-reducing hobby (and ditch the cortisol hacks)\n\n\n\nThere’s little evidence to support many of the claims online about cortisol, Syal says. Instead, he encourages patients to think about what symptoms have them worried about their cortisol levels.\n\n\n\nA common one is chronic stress — in which case the most helpful thing is to find healthy ways to manage it, Syal tells TODAY.com.\n\n\n\n“If you’re having a lot of stress, step one is don’t freak out,” he says. “Stress is a natural part of life. Everybody experiences stress at some point.”\n\n\n\nBut if you find that it’s overwhelming, two of his go-to strategies are journaling and participating in a stress-reducing hobby. For Syal, it’s playing a musical instrument.\n\n\n\n“Find something that (you) love doing, that you can sort of forget about everything while you’re doing it,” he adds. “Having a way to unwind is just so important. It’s also good for your brain to learn new skills.”\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMy New Favorite Futbolista\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 2\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhy U.S. men's soccer captain Tim Ream uses LEGO sets to manage mental health\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmental health\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJan 24\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHave mental health days gone too far?

Without treatment, it can lead to other serious chronic illnesses, like diabetes and high blood pressure.\n\n\n\nCushing’s only affects 10-15 people out of 1 million every year, per the Endocrine Society. So while it’s worth consulting a doctor if you have symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome, the vague signs of “high cortisol” talked about on social media can usually be attributed to something more minor, Syal says.\n\n\n\nHow to get started\n\n\n\nSome stress-reducing hobbies that experts previously recommended to TODAY.com include: water-coloring, puzzles, embroidery, birdwatching, baking, dancing, knitting and reading.\n\n\n\nHere are some other tips from Syal for common reasons people think they have “high cortisol”:\n\n\n\n\nFacial bloating: Look at your diet, especially how much sodium you’re getting, and how often you’re exercising.\n\n\n\nPoor sleep: Look at your sleep hygiene — for example, try to go to bed at the same time every day and drink less caffeine.\n\n\n\nStress management: Try journaling, hobbies and breathing exercises.\n\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

It’s the first time that has occurred in tournament history, believe it or not.\n\n\n\nFrance, Spain, England and Argentina will all seek to make more history having avoided potential upsets en route to the semifinals.\n\n\n\nLa Albiceleste and Les Bleus are the two most recent World Cup winners, too, so there might be a psychological edge involved.\n\n\n\nHere’s what to know about each semifinalist’s World Cup trophy tally:\n\n\n\n\n\nEngland: 1\n\n\n\nWill football finally come home this year? English fans have been waiting since 1966, when the Three Lions won its only men’s World Cup. England took down West Germany 4-2 after extra time, doing so on home soil at Wembley Stadium in London.\n\n\n\nThe Three Lions have never made the final since or even before that. They fell in the semifinals in 1990 and 2018, the latter of which was an upset loss vs. Croatia. Can they push through this year? Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka will need to be decisive in attack.\n\n\n\nSpain: 1\n\n\n\nSimilar to England, Spain have just one World Cup trophy to its name. It came much more recently, though, as La Furia Roja finally claimed the trophy in 2010 after taking down the Netherlands 1-0 in extra time. Spain’s only other strong finish was fourth place in 1950, with not much success since the 2010 win.\n\n\n\nLa Furia Roja were grouped in 2014 before exiting early in the round of 16 in 2018 and 2022. Lamine Yamal, Rodri and super sub Mikel Merino have been vital for their progression this year.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tMORE WORLD CUP COVERAGE\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 23\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDonald Trump will present World Cup trophy at final, FIFA confirms\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFIFA\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDec 14, 2022\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDo the World Cup Winners Keep the Trophy?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAug 3, 2022\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFacts About the World Cup Trophy\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nFrance: 2\n\n\n\nLes Bleus suffered two third-place finishes in 1958 and 1986 before eventually winning it on home soil in 1998. They hadn’t qualified in the two World Cups before that, but they routed Brazil 3-0 in the 1998 final to ensure the home crowd wouldn’t be disappointed.\n\n\n\nFrance added its second World Cup in 2018, with a runners-up finish in 2006 and 2022 its other notable placements since the turn of the century. Kylian Mbappe made history en route to winning the 2018 final as a teenager. He’s now the leader of his nation at 27 years old and will need support from Michael Olise, 2025 Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue, among others, to hoist another.\n\n\n\nArgentina: 3\n\n\n\nLa Albiceleste tops the semifinalists with three World Cup wins thus far. They finished as runners-up in the first ever tournament in 1930, though the field was much smaller then. Argentina won its first in 1978 before claiming it again in 1986. The 1990 tournament saw the nation fall short as runners-up in its repeat bid.\n\n\n\nIn the Lionel Messi era, the nation most notably finished as runners-up in 2014 as Germany took home the title. Messi and Co. eventually bounced back in 2022, taking down France in an extra-time thriller. Now 39, Messi will need to do something never seen before to defend the trophy and bring it back to Argentina for a fourth time in its history.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/france-argentina-england-spain-wins/4048445/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Sanjesh Singh","publishDate":"2026-07-12T21:46:54.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fmessi-mbappe-getty-71226.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2250%2C1269","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"heres-how-many-world-cup-trophies-each-2026-semifinalist-has-won"},{"id":"v0gg29","title":"Galleria Dallas hosts summer story times","excerpt":"Galleria Dallas has teamed up with the Dallas-based nonprofit Catch Up & Read to offer story times throughout the month of July.\n\n\n\nThe story times at the mall are Wednesdays and Fridays at 10:30 a.m.\n\n\n\nOn Wednesdays, Storytimes will feature local children’s authors, including Jenn Hill, Kenna S...","content":"Galleria Dallas has teamed up with the Dallas-based nonprofit Catch Up & Read to offer story times throughout the month of July.\n\n\n\nThe story times at the mall are Wednesdays and Fridays at 10:30 a.m.\n\n\n\nOn Wednesdays, Storytimes will feature local children’s authors, including Jenn Hill, Kenna Sosa, Rosie J.

Since the program started in 1998, organizers said they have helped more than 10,000 students improve their reading skills through the summer.\n\n\n\n“We have more than 500 students enrolled in eight sites across North Texas,” Kirsten James with PTNT said. “They get enrolled, we spread the word through their schools, the neighborhood schools. Also, a lot of our sites are hosted by United Methodist Churches. They help spread the word through their contacts and their congregations, community and schools, our other networks, just however we can get the word out.”\n\n\n\nThe 2026 program opened on June 2 and will conclude July 23 with students in grades 1st through 12th.\n\n\n\n“Our biggest focus and outcome is based on literacy progression to make sure that kids do not fall into the summer slide. We want to make sure that they are ready to go back to school in August prepared for that next grade level. We’re also faith-based, so we do have some other social-emotional learning provided by our church volunteers,” James said.\n\n\n\nShe said every child receives a minimum of 40 minutes of individualized reading enrichment each day through one-to-one reading time with a trained community volunteer, made possible through hundreds of volunteers.\n\n\n\nJames said they work to address barriers to educational access and summer learning activities, no matter what a child’s economic background may be. She cited a report from Afterschool Alliance, “America After 3PM,” which states nearly three in five children in Texas are missing out on summer programs, and 39% of parents report cost as a primary barrier to participation. \n\n\n\n“These gaps are unfairly affecting under-resourced communities. A key component of our strategy involves developing relationships between children and young adult role models who are accepting, supportive, and empowering. When age-appropriate learning objectives are delivered alongside caring mentorship, children build confidence, strengthen their self-esteem, and develop a lifelong love of learning,” James said.\n\n\n\nThis summer’s event is run by more than 70 college-aged young adults who will serve as mentors and program leaders.\n\n\n\nBy the end of the summer, organizers said each child will have received more than 24 hours of individualized reading support designed to strengthen literacy skills and prepare students for academic success in the coming school year.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/about-nbc-5/community/reading-with-you/local-nonprofit-celebrates-literacy-for-more-than-10k-children/4047524/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Laura Harris","publishDate":"2026-07-10T05:02:47.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FPTNT-Photo-5.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1440%2C1438","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"local-nonprofit-celebrates-literacy-for-more-than-10k-children"},{"id":"yyvn34","title":"Nimmo's walk-off single gives Rangers a win over Astros and winning record at All-Star break","excerpt":"Brandon Nimmo hit a game-ending single that drove in Wyatt Langford with his third hit of the game, and the Texas Rangers beat the Houston Astros 6-5 on Sunday to enter the All-Star break with a winning record at 49-47.\n\n\n\nLangford singled off Josh Hader (3-1) leading off the ninth and advanced w...","content":"Brandon Nimmo hit a game-ending single that drove in Wyatt Langford with his third hit of the game, and the Texas Rangers beat the Houston Astros 6-5 on Sunday to enter the All-Star break with a winning record at 49-47.\n\n\n\nLangford singled off Josh Hader (3-1) leading off the ninth and advanced when Zach Dezenzo misplayed the ball for an error. Langford moved up on Josh Jung’s single and scored standing up when Nimmo hit a one-hopper that glanced off the raised glove of Hader and into center field, giving Texas its fourth walk-off win this year.\n\n\n\nNimmo had his first walk-off plate appearance for Texas and his seventh in the big leagues.\n\n\n\nAll-Star closer Jacob Latz (2-1) intentionally walked Yordan Alvarez with two outs and none on in the ninth, Alvarez’s second intentional walk of the game, then retired Isaac Paredes on a popout.\n\n\n\nTexas won two of three in the in-state series and leads the AL West by 1 1/2 games over second-place Seattle (48-49) and by three games over third-place Houston (47-51).

Mitch McConnell on Sunday revealed for the first time that a fall led to his hospitalization, breaking the silence about his condition after weeks of mounting speculation about the Kentucky Republican’s health.\n\n\n\nMcConnell, 84, said in a statement that he was “briefly unconscious” around the time he was first taken to the hospital and has undergone a battery of tests to try and determine what led to his fall. He said he was also treated for mild pneumonia and has been moved to a rehabilitation facility.\n\n\n\n“My doctors have confirmed that I didn’t break any bones or suffer a concussion. I didn’t have a heart attack or a stroke. I don’t have any tumors or hemorrhages,” McConnell said, adding that he is now “regaining my strength.” \n\n\n\nHe explained the four-week silence about his condition by saying that “folks of my generation often hesitate to share the vulnerability that comes with growing older.”\n\n\n\n“Even in the public eye, I feel that same instinct — I can’t help it,” he said.\n\n\n\nMcConnell said he will not be returning to the Senate “quite yet” but continues to work with his staff on Senate business. The statement included a smiling picture of the senator with his wife Elaine Chao, a tacit response to speculation online that McConnell had died or was incapacitated.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCongress\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 7\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSenate leaders say they've spoken to Mitch McConnell in the hospital\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCongress\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 14\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSen.

Speculation about his condition grew so intense that Kentucky’s Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear took the extraordinary step last week of issuing a public letter asking McConnell to update the public in a “transparent manner.”\n\n\n\nMcConnell is retiring at the end of January after one of the most consequential careers in modern politics. Republicans have nominated U.S. Rep. Andy Barr to replace him, while Democrats have nominated former state lawmaker Charles Booker. He said he is determined to finish out his term. \n\n\n\n“I still have unfinished business to complete on your behalf,” McConnell wrote in the statement addressed to Kentuckians, “and I have every intention of finishing the job you elected me to do.”\n\n\n\nMcConnell has a history of health problems\n\n\n\nMcConnell had polio in his early childhood and has long acknowledged some difficulty as an adult in walking and climbing stairs. \n\n\n\nThe physician’s office in Congress in the statement Sunday said McConnell has “experienced several falls through the year” due to his “post-polio condition.” The office said his physical therapy is aimed at reducing the risk of him falling again. \n\n\n\n“A comprehensive evaluation by a multidisciplinary team determined that he had no fractures, cardiac abnormalities, stroke, tumor, or hemorrhage,” the physician’s office said. \n\n\n\nMcConnell was first elected to the Senate in 1984 and was the Republican leader from 2007 until last year, serving as both majority and minority leader during that period. He has remained active as a rank-and-file senator, showing up for work when the chamber is in session, often using a wheelchair to get around.\n\n\n\nBut the senator’s physical condition has visibly declined in recent years.\n\n\n\nHe was hospitalized with a concussion in March 2023 and missed several weeks of work after falling in a Washington hotel. He twice froze up during news conferences after he returned, staring vacantly ahead before colleagues and staff. A year later, he fell and sprained his wrist while walking out of a GOP luncheon.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/mcconnell-says-fall-led-to-hospitalization-breaking-weeks-of-silence-on-health/4048409/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Mary Clare Jalonick | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-12T17:47:05.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26190531439762.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C685","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"mcconnell-says-a-fall-led-to-his-hospitalization-breaking-weeks-of-silence-about-health-condition"},{"id":"btfqd4","title":"Fire breaks out at a pub in Bangkok, killing at least 27 people, officials say","excerpt":"A huge fire engulfed a pub in Bangkok early on Monday morning, killing at least 27 people before firefighters brought the blaze under control, officials said.\n\n\n\nFootage shared online by first responders shows a huge blaze raging and plumes coming out of the front door of the Na Ladprao pub in th...","content":"A huge fire engulfed a pub in Bangkok early on Monday morning, killing at least 27 people before firefighters brought the blaze under control, officials said.\n\n\n\nFootage shared online by first responders shows a huge blaze raging and plumes coming out of the front door of the Na Ladprao pub in the northern part of the Thai capital. People are seen trying to flee as thick black smoke billows into the sky. Rescuers said the fire was reported around midnight. \n\n\n\nThailand Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul told reporters at the scene that 27 people died and that several of the injured have been taken to the hospital. He said the cause of the fire is under investigation.\n\n\n\nAnutin said a musician who was performing at the pub told him that he saw smoke coming out of a circuit breaker near the stage before the power went out, then an explosion was heard and thick smoke quickly filled the place. \n\n\n\nMany of victims were found in the restrooms, at the back of the pub, Anutin added.\n\n\n\nFirefighters took about half an hour to bring the fire under control. Photos of the aftermath show charred tables and chairs, and the damaged interior of the pub.\n\n\n\nThailand has seen similar tragedies in the past. In 2022, 14 people were killed by a fire at a music pub in the eastern part of the country.\n\n\n\nAnd more than a decade before that, 66 people were killed and more than 200 injured in a fire during a Jan. 1, 2009 New Year’s Eve celebration at the Santika nightclub in Thailand’s capital. That blaze was apparently sparked by an indoor fireworks display.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/bangkok-pub-fire-kills-at-least-27-people/4048392/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-12T16:09:39.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26193688063912.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C675","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"fire-breaks-out-at-a-pub-in-bangkok-killing-at-least-27-people-officials-say"},{"id":"2cvj5u","title":"Red Cross issues urgent plea to North Texas residents to donate blood amid severe summer shortfall","excerpt":"The American Red Cross declared an emergency blood shortage Monday, warning that its national blood supply plummeted by nearly 25% during June.","content":"The American Red Cross declared an emergency blood shortage Monday, warning that its national blood supply plummeted by nearly 25% during June.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/red-cross-issues-urgent-plea-north-texas-residents-donate-blood-amid-severe-summer-shortfall","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Amber.Kite@fox.com (Amber Kite)","publishDate":"2026-07-13T17:54:33.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F02%2FGettyImages-1323895432.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"red-cross-issues-urgent-plea-to-north-texas-residents-to-donate-blood-amid-severe-summer-shortfall"},{"id":"uvmc3z","title":"Ranking the possible World Cup final matchups: Is France vs. Argentina No. 1?","excerpt":"The 2026 World Cup has lived up to the billing.

It’s about to get even better.\n\n\n\nFor the first time in World Cup history, the top four ranked teams by FIFA are alive in the semifinals. France, Spain, England and Argentina punched their tickets after successful quarterfinal outings.\n\n\n\nAlthough FIFA’s ratings can be subjective at times due to its points system, these four nations have been a few levels above the rest and deserve a spot with the whole world watching. \n\n\n\nLes Bleus have benefited from a light travel schedule and are blitzing through teams with a high-powered attack and underrated defense. La Furia Roja’s philosophy involves possession and patience. Both of those have been prevalent in their success so far.\n\n\n\nThe Three Lions have survived tough tests amid constant injury issues and a demanding travel schedule, while La Albiceleste have had the closest calls against teams they should’ve handled more easily. Both of these teams understandably look tired physically, but there are bigger games to come.\n\n\n\nSo, which possible matchup would make for the best viewing in the World Cup final? Let’s rank them from least to most entertaining:\n\n\n\n\n\n4. England vs. Spain\n\n\n\nTo start, all four of these matchups would be extremely enticing from both tactical and narrative standpoints. England and Spain would be a rematch of the 2024 UEFA Euros Final, which La Furia Roja won 2-1 thanks to a late Mikel Oyarzabal goal. Spain isn’t as dominant as that year with Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams playing through respective injuries, while England didn’t have current manager Thomas Tuchel yet. Yamal vs. Bukayo Saka, Rodri vs. Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham vs. Pedri are among the intriguing individual battles, but the other three matchups just have more impact to them.\n\n\n\n3. Argentina vs. Spain\n\n\n\nYamal vs. Lionel Messi. That’s the main selling point of this potential showdown. The past vs. the future. Two left-footed playmakers coming from Barcelona. The viral photo of Messi bathing Yamal as a toddler. It’d be a dream matchup from a storytelling perspective. Both teams also want possession of the ball and don’t mind needing to defend in certain spells of the game, though Spain has the upper hand on both aspects at the moment. It’s also a matchup the soccer world has been waiting for, as the 2025 Finalissima (later postponed to 2026) between both sides was canceled due to the conflict in Iran.\n\n\n\n2. France vs. Argentina\n\n\n\nA rematch of the thrilling 2022 World Cup Final. Messi possibly passing the torch to Kylian Mbappe. France either getting its revenge or Messi guiding his nation to a historic and memorable repeat. There’s plenty to like from a narrative lens in this possible clash, but it just falls short due to the tactical standpoint. Compared to the 2022 sides, Les Bleus have significantly improved in all phases except at left-back. La Albiceleste have declined in many areas except for Messi’s individual brilliance. Argentina would need a lot to go its way to take down this version of Mbappe and France, which leads to the No. 1 spot.\n\n\n\n1. France vs. England\n\n\n\nIt’d be interesting to see how England look physically entering this game due to the vast difference in travel mileage accumulated for both, as well as France getting through games more smoothly. But in a final, you want the best possible matchup. France, on paper, are better than Spain, as is England with Argentina. Mbappe, Michael Olise, Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue, William Saliba and Dayot Upamecano vs. Bellingham, Harry Kane, Saka, Rice, Reece James and Anthony Gordon could make for a special showdown. Both teams have also improved from their 2022 quarterfinal battle, which Les Bleus won 2-1 after Kane missed a penalty.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/ranking-final-matchups-france-spain-england-argentina/4048376/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Sanjesh Singh","publishDate":"2026-07-12T15:39:07.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fworld-cup-final-matchups-getty-71226.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2250%2C1269","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"ranking-the-possible-world-cup-final-matchups-is-france-vs-argentina-no-1"},{"id":"ciit0n","title":"Top-ranked Jannik Sinner beats Alexander Zverev to win Wimbledon again","excerpt":"Jannik Sinner is starting to make a habit of responding to adversity in Paris with Wimbledon titles.\n\n\n\nThe top-ranked Sinner beat Alexander Zverev 6-7 (7), 7-6 (2), 6-3, 6-4 Sunday for his second consecutive title at the All England Club after his German opponent appeared bothered by a knee issu...","content":"Jannik Sinner is starting to make a habit of responding to adversity in Paris with Wimbledon titles.\n\n\n\nThe top-ranked Sinner beat Alexander Zverev 6-7 (7), 7-6 (2), 6-3, 6-4 Sunday for his second consecutive title at the All England Club after his German opponent appeared bothered by a knee issue following a slip to the grass on a key point in the third set.\n\n\n\nSinner’s fifth Grand Slam title came in his first tournament since a second-round meltdown at the French Open, when he wilted in a Paris heat wave.\n\n\n\nA year ago, Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz in the final at the All England Club after wasting three match points against his rival in the Roland Garros final.\n\n\n\nIt was Sinner’s 10th straight victory over Zverev, who was coming off his first Grand Slam title at the French Open.\n\n\n\nLinda Noskova beat Karolina Muchova in an all-Czech women’s final on Saturday for her first Grand Slam title.\n\n\n\nPrince William joined his wife Kate and two of their children for the final in a star-studded Royal Box that also included actors Dustin Hoffman, Nicole Kidman and Ben Stiller.\n\n\n\nZverev slips\n\n\n\nThe top two seeds appeared perfectly matched until Zverev earned his first break point of the match at 3-3 in the third set — 2 hours and 42 minutes in. Sinner produced a drop shot and Zverev slipped and appeared to hyper-extend his right knee as he attempted to change directions behind the baseline.\n\n\n\nZverev grasped his knee in apparent discomfort and Sinner went around the net and helped his opponent up off the grass. Zverev quickly resumed playing but he appeared slightly hampered and slung his racket across the baseline in frustration when he missed a forehand and handed Sinner the first break of the match and a 5-3 lead in the third. Sinner then served it out.\n\n\n\nZverev had also lost 14 straight sets to Sinner and when he claimed the opening set of the final with a forehand winner up the line to conclude a tight tiebreaker, he let out a loud roar toward his box as he bent over in celebration.\n\n\n\nZverev continually cranked out serves at up to 139 mph (224 kph), while Sinner produced a series of well-placed aces at a slightly lower speed.\n\n\n\nBut Sinner began to read Zverev’s serve better in the second-set tiebreaker and Zverev started to miss forehands.\n\n\n\nParis meltdown\n\n\n\nAmid stifling heat and humidity in Paris in late May, Sinner had his 30-match winning streak ended after coming within one game of a straight-set victory over Juan Manuel Cerundolo, who was ranked No. 56.\n\n\n\nConditions were cooler in southwest London for the final, with clear skies and a temperature of 82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 Celsius) but it was also breezy — which led to a series of shanked shots from both players.\n\n\n\nSinner went in for medical exams in Milan after the Paris defeat and didn’t play an official match again until he arrived at Wimbledon, where he twice had to come back from a set down in a five-set marathon against Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round.\n\n\n\nSinner then didn’t drop a set the rest of the way until the final, having dominated against Novak Djokovic in the semifinals.\n\n\n\nDespite the defeat in the final, Zverev will leapfrog Alcaraz into the No. 2 spot in the rankings on Monday.\n\n\n\nAlcaraz missed both the French Open and Wimbledon this year due to a right wrist injury.\n\n\n\nAssociated Press writer Mattias Karén contributed.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/tennis/defending-champ-jannik-sinner-wins-wimbledon/4048368/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) -

The 2016 animated film is the most watched movie on Disney+. Its sequel, which was stitched together from a planned streaming series, made over $1 billion and scored a Thanksgiving record when it opened with $225 million in 2024. “Moana 2” was also released just 19 months ago.\n\n\n\nThis latest “Moana,” directed by Thomas Kail, brings Dwayne Johnson back as the demigod Maui and introduces Catherine Lagaʻaia as the adventuring Polynesian princess. Despite praise for Lagaʻaia, the film set sail on a wave of dismal reviews from critics for being essentially a shot-for-shot remake of the original.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMovies\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 9\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDwayne Johnson brings daughters to ‘Moana' premiere in rare family red carpet outing\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLawsuits\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMar 10, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t‘Moana' has her origins questioned at trial where man says his surfer boy led to the Disney hit\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tnews\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJan 21, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t‘Moana 2' tops $1 billion, extending Disney's box office domination\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nWhat audiences say about “Moana”\n\n\n\nIt’s currently sitting at a 34% on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences, the majority of whom were women (66%), were less negative: According to PostTrak, 63% said they would “definitely” recommend the film to their friends. Parent reactions were even stronger, with 78% saying they would recommend it to other parents. It also got a promising A- CinemaScore.\n\n\n\nDisney’s live action remakes of beloved animated films, new and old, have had their share of successes and disappointments. Some have made over $1 billion, including “Lilo & Stitch,” “The Lion King” and “Beauty and the Beast.” Others have floundered, most notably last year’s “Snow White,” which made only $205 million worldwide. “Moana” opened more on par with “Snow White” ($42.2 million).\n\n\n\nPaul Dergarabedian, the head of marketplace trends for Rentrak, said “Moana’s” debut could also be a product of PG-rated oversaturation in the marketplace: Universal’s “Minions & Monsters” was in second place with $20.5 million and “Toy Story 5” was close behind in third place with $18.5 million.\n\n\n\n“Families love going to the movies, but right now there are three of them,” Dergarabedian said. “That’s a lot of competition.”\n\n\n\nPG-rated films outgrossed others in 2024 and 2025, so “Moana’s” performance may not be a case of “family movie fatigue,” he said, but simply shows there can be a ceiling. Families have to make a choice, and after four weekends, “Toy Story 5” is still going strong with a running global total of $879.1 million.\n\n\n\nThere also are signs that these movies might not sink or swim based on the opening weekend alone. Although “Minions & Monsters” opened below expectations over the Fourth of July holiday, it also had a modest 45% drop this weekend. Its running domestic total is currently sitting at $108.3 million.\n\n\n\nElsewhere at the box office, horror and history\n\n\n\nThe weekend’s other big new opener was definitely not PG: The R-rated horror “Evil Dead Burn,” a Warner Bros. release, opened to $13.7 million and landed in fourth place.\n\n\n\nAngel Studios’ George Washington movie “Young Washington” rounded out the top five in its second weekend in theaters, with $6.4 million. Olivia Wilde’s chamber dramedy “The Invite” landed in sixth place in its first weekend in wide release, with $5.7 million from 1,610 theaters.\n\n\n\nAnd though it has dropped out of the top 10 domestically, “Michael” has officially crossed $1 billion at the worldwide box office, only the second film this year to do so after “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.” It’s also now the highest grossing musical biopic of all time, a title previously held by “Bohemian Rhapsody.”\n\n\n\nThe total domestic box office for the year is currently sitting just under $5.2 billion, up about 10.7% from this point last year. While both May and June were very strong — both generating over $1 billion in North America — July, Dergarabedian said, has faced some headwinds with a string of underperformers, including “Supergirl.” Things will likely pick up next week with the arrival of Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” followed by “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” the weekend after.\n\n\n\n“They could power a stronger August than July at the box office, which would be very unusual,” Dergarabedian said.\n\n\n\nTop 10 movies by domestic box office\n\n\n\nWith final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak:\n\n\n\n1. “Moana,” $43 million.\n\n\n\n2. “Minions & Monsters,” $20.5 million.\n\n\n\n3. “Toy Story 5,” $18.5 million.\n\n\n\n4. “Evil Dead Burn,” $13.7 million.\n\n\n\n5. “Young Washington,” $6.4 million.\n\n\n\n6. “The Invite,” $5.7 million.\n\n\n\n7. “Obsession,” $3.8 million.\n\n\n\n8. “Supergirl,” $3.6 million.\n\n\n\n9. “Disclosure Day,” $3.2 million.\n\n\n\n10. “Backrooms,” $1.5 million.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/disney-live-action-moana-underwhelming-box-office/4048365/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Lindsey Bahr | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-12T12:07:22.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fmoana.png%3Ffit%3D2378%2C1334%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"disneys-live-action-moana-crashes-to-shore-with-an-underwhelming-splash-at-the-box-office"},{"id":"36jttl","title":"Republicans scramble to find a replacement for Sen.

Lindsey Graham’s death, President Donald Trump said Sunday that he had a preferred replacement in mind but declined to share a name out of respect for Graham.\n\n\n\n“I have somebody that I think would be great, but I don’t want to say it now because it’s just, you know, it’s too soon with Lindsey,” the president told NBC News’ “Meet the Press.” “I don’t want to even talk about anybody, but I do have somebody that I think is really good.”\n\n\n\nRepublicans are starting to scramble to find both a temporary and a permanent replacement for Graham, who in June won the GOP Senate primary in South Carolina and was expected to cruise to re-election to a fifth term in November.\n\n\n\nPer South Carolina state law, GOP Gov. Henry McMaster must appoint someone to take over Graham’s post until early January.\n\n\n\nThe law also dictates the process for an election to permanently replace Graham. A special Republican primary election will be held on Aug. 11 and candidates who wish to run for the Senate can file to run for the seat beginning on July 21.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., who served alongside Graham, said Sunday that he did not have any insight into whom McMaster may appoint to fill the seat.\n\n\n\n“I do know that there are at least one or two Congress members that I would expect Henry McMaster, our governor, to consider,” Scott told “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker, adding later that it’s “hard to swallow that life moves so quickly, and the party doesn’t stop, ever.”\n\n\n\nScott said regardless of whom McMaster selects as a temporary appointment, “I would imagine an open primary process would be in the best interest of South Carolinians.”\n\n\n\nRep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., is strongly considering running for the now-vacant seat, according to a source familiar with her thinking. Mace ran unsuccessfully for governor in the state’s June primary.\n\n\n\nRep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., publicly said that he won’t run for the seat in a post on X today, citing a conversation he had with the president and Republicans’ slim majority in the House.\n\n\n\n“I was grateful to speak with President Trump today, reminiscing about our mutual friend, Senator Lindsey Graham. I assured him my goal is to remain in the House to keep his two-vote majority for the American people!!!” Wilson wrote on social media.\n\n\n\nIn a statement, Mark Lynch, a South Carolina businessman who challenged Graham in the Republican primary for Senate earlier this year, did not say whether he planned to run for the seat again.\n\n\n\n“While we had our political disagreements, today is not a day for politics,” Lynch said. “It is a day to recognize his decades of service and to pray for everyone who knew and loved him.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/republicans-scramble-replacement-sen-lindsey-graham-ahead-of-midterm-elections/4048364/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Alexandra Marquez, Frank Thorp V and Melanie Zanona | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-12T11:39:11.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-1815050475.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4800%2C3200","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"republicans-scramble-to-find-a-replacement-for-sen-lindsey-graham-ahead-of-the-midterm-elections"},{"id":"hixybm","title":"New York Times reporters are subpoenaed after Air Force One stories, raising press freedom concerns","excerpt":"The Department of Justice has subpoenaed New York Times journalists after they reported on security concerns involving the new, Qatari-gifted Air Force One, marking a dramatic escalation of President Donald Trump’s campaign against the media that has drawn condemnation for eroding a fundamental f...","content":"The Department of Justice has subpoenaed New York Times journalists after they reported on security concerns involving the new, Qatari-gifted Air Force One, marking a dramatic escalation of President Donald Trump’s campaign against the media that has drawn condemnation for eroding a fundamental freedom of American democracy.\n\n\n\nThe new jet, a present from the U.S. ally that the administration spent $400 million on to retrofit and upgrade, entered service last week. But Trump used an older model Air Force One jet to leave a NATO summit in Turkey and later referenced threats against him made by Iran. \n\n\n\nThe subpoenas seek to force the reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan next week, the Times said, adding that federal agents delivered some subpoenas to the reporters at their homes. \n\n\n\nThey were issued after FBI Director Kash Patel and other Justice Department officials met at the White House on Friday to talk about the matter, according to a person familiar with the discussions who was not authorized to discuss the issue publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.\n\n\n\nThe journalists subpoenaed included Julian E. Barnes, Eric Lipton, Tyler Pager and Eric Schmitt, the Times reported.\n\n\n\nIt also said that before its first story was published, a senior official at the FBI contacted a reporter and editor to ask that the article be held, citing national security issues. The newspaper said that the FBI official declined to explain the security issue but asked The Times to disclose its sources for the story, which the Times said it refused to do.\n\n\n\n“The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects,” David McCraw, a lawyer for the Times, said in a statement.\n\n\n\nThe White House did not answer messages seeking comment about the subpoenas of the Times journalists.\n\n\n\nBruce D. Brown, president of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, said Trump’s “war on the press is looking for another victim.” \n\n\n\nHe said in a statement that the subpoenas “break from longstanding Justice Department practice to protect the public interest and press independence by requiring prosecutors to only seek information from reporters as a last resort when all other avenues have been exhausted.”\n\n\n\nThe Justice Department said that “to be clear, reporters are not the targets, those leaking classified information are.”\n\n\n\nIts statement said “we value and appreciate the important role that the press plays in this country, but DOJ also plays an important role to make sure that the people entrusted with our nation’s secrets do what they’re supposed to do with that information, which means not sharing classified information.” \n\n\n\nWhile recognizing “there may always be natural tension there,” the department said “we are not going to ignore the law and stop investigating the people who work in the administration and think it’s okay to leak classified information impacting national security.”\n\n\n\nPart of a pattern of anti-press actions \n\n\n\nIssuing subpoenas represents further ramping up of Trump’s effort to threaten independent new organizations by leveraging the power of the federal government against them. It is also part of a systematic pattern by the Republican president to attempt to undermine press freedom in order to shield him from negative coverage. \n\n\n\nEarlier this year, the Justice Department issued subpoenas seeking to compel testimony from reporters at The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal. In both cases, the department later withdrew the subpoenas, though. \n\n\n\nIn January, FBI agents searched the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson, who has been covering Trump’s transformation of the federal government, as part of a leak investigation into a Pentagon contractor accused of taking home classified information.\n\n\n\nAdam Steinbaugh, senior attorney for the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, said Friday’s subpoenas and the prospect of “hauling reporters before grand juries sends a chilling message to journalists and whistleblowers alike: Watch what you say, or expect a knock on the door.”\n\n\n\n“These tactics are becoming more common,” Steinbaugh said in a statement. “That doesn’t make them normal.”\n\n\n\nDuring his first term, Trump suggested that the press constituted an “enemy” of the American people. Since returning to the White House, he has waged an aggressive campaign against the media unlike any in modern U.S. history. \n\n\n\nTrump’s attacks against news outlets and media figures he believes are overly critical of him has included filing lawsuits against outlets whose coverage he dislikes, threatening to revoke TV broadcast licenses and seeking to bend news organizations and social media companies to his will.\n\n\n\nThe Justice Department over the years has developed and revised internal policies governing how it will respond to news media leaks.\n\n\n\nThough the department across presidential administrations has periodically seized the phone records of individual journalists in hopes of identifying sources for national security stories, it is extremely rare for the government to attempt to compel reporters to reveal their sources before a grand jury.\n\n\n\nIn April 2025, then-Attorney General Pam Bondi rescinded a policy from President Joe Biden’s Democratic administration that protected journalists from having their phone records secretly seized during leak investigations — a practice long decried by news organizations and press freedom groups. \n\n\n\nDoing so again gave prosecutors the authority to use subpoenas, court orders and search warrants to hunt for government officials who make “unauthorized disclosures” to journalists.\n\n\n\nA memo Bondi issued said members of the press are “presumptively entitled to advance notice of such investigative activities,” and subpoenas are to be “narrowly drawn.” Warrants must also include “protocols designed to limit the scope of intrusion into potentially protected materials or newsgathering activities,” the memo stated.\n\n\n\n\n\nTrump didn’t use his new Air Force One while leaving Turkey \n\n\n\nThe president flew the new Air Force One to Turkey during this week’s visit. But he departed Wednesday on one of the older-model Air Force One jets for Mildenhall, a Royal Air Force base in Suffolk, England. \n\n\n\nThe newer plane also flew to Mildenhall. Trump then switched to that plane for the flight home to Joint Base Andrews.\n\n\n\nThe abrupt swap came as a shaky ceasefire with Iran had collapsed, with the U.S. launching airstrikes on Iran and Tehran attacking three Gulf Arab states. Iran and Turkey share a border, sparking speculation that the new jet lacked certain sophisticated security and countermeasure systems. \n\n\n\nThe Times, citing anonymous sources, reported the switch had come at the urging of the Secret Service, and that the newer plane lacked some of the advanced security features of the older aircraft, including antimissile capabilities.\n\n\n\nTrump denied any security concerns, posting on social media that the stop in Mildenhall was so that service members there could view the new jet. During the flight, Trump denied to the reporters accompanying him that security concerns involving Iran were a factor in flying two planes home. \n\n\n\nStill, asked if he was aware of any credible threats against Air Force One by Iran, Trump responded, “I have a threat all the time. I’m No. 1 on their list.”\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nAssociated Press writers Eric Tucker, Alanna Durkin Richer, Michelle L.

She died June 26 in Oklahoma, the last U.S. polio patient who used the machine, her sister said. She was 78. \n\n\n\n“They told her she wasn’t supposed to live past 20 years old,” Lillard’s younger sister, Cindy McVey, told The Associated Press on Friday. “She had the enthusiasm and the drive to continue living and make the best of her life.”\n\n\n\nMcVey attributes her sister’s death to the effects of long-haul COVID-19. A death certificate lists causes as chronic pulmonary failure and post-polio syndrome, McVey said. \n\n\n\nLillard slept in the iron lung cylinder that encased her body as the air pressure in the chamber forced air in and out of her lungs. As a child, she went to grade school for two hours a day and was tutored the rest of the time. She attended Shawnee High School by using a phone system that allowed her to interact with her teachers and classmates through an intercom in her classrooms.\n\n\n\nHer family went on road trips to Missouri thanks to a custom trailer and her father calling hotels to find out if they had doors wide enough to accommodate the machine Lillard slept in. Lillard was even able to drive for a time.\n\n\n\n“To me, it was just normal,” recalled McVey, 75.\n\n\n\nPolio was once one of the nation’s most feared diseases, with annual outbreaks causing thousands of cases of paralysis.

According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a national vaccination campaign cut the annual number of U.S. cases to fewer than 100 in the 1960s and fewer than 10 in the 1970s. In 1979, polio was declared eliminated in the U.S., meaning it was no longer routinely spread.\n\n\n\nLater the internet would help Lillard stay informed and learn about all sorts of topics, including her disease, which paralyzed her from the neck down. \n\n\n\nWith therapy she was able to regain partial use of her left arm and use of her legs. But she could only move her left arm side to side at her waist. Even though she couldn’t reach up, she spent many years living alone and preparing her own meals. \n\n\n\nThe internet also allowed Lillard to meet her future husband. After the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Lillard wanted to understand more about what happened. In a chat room, she met a man in Egypt and communicated with him online for more than 20 years, McVey said.\n\n\n\nLillard married Baha Salh in February after he was finally able to obtain a visa to travel to Oklahoma. \n\n\n\n“They were really soul mates,” McVey said. “He’s extremely brokenhearted.” \n\n\n\nDuring the coronavirus pandemic, Lillard got COVID-19 twice. Before getting COVID-19, she had less than 25% lung capacity. The last five years of her life, she wasn’t able to leave home as it became harder to breathe. For the past two years, she was in the iron lung nearly 24 hours a day, McVey said. \n\n\n\nMcVey described her sister as artistic and creative. She wrote poems and composed songs. She wrote her own obituary, which is now posted online by a funeral home. She described being a Humane Society volunteer. “She was an avid Beagle lover and assisted in animal rescue as a cross poster on Facebook,” Lillard wrote.\n\n\n\nShe later updated her obituary to say she “died of long-haul Covid 19,” but McVey added the date of her death. \n\n\n\nIn recent years, McVey and Lillard were desperate to find someone who could fix the iron lung, one of several she had over her lifetime.\n\n\n\n“But since she’s the last one, we don’t need that anymore,” McVey said through tears.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/martha-lillard-last-us-polio-patient-using-iron-lung-dies/4048347/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Jennifer Sinco Kelleher | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-12T09:19:55.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-1147625347.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2850%2C2236","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"martha-lillard-last-us-polio-patient-using-iron-lung-dies-at-78-in-oklahoma"},{"id":"eal5by","title":"One runner gored in the face at Spain's San Fermin bull run festival","excerpt":"A runner was gored in the face and many more were fortunate to not be seriously injured during a chaotic bull run at Spain’s San Fermin festival on Saturday.\n\n\n\nThe six bulls and accompanying steers charged through crowds of thrill-seekers who packed the narrow street course in Pamplona.

The huge animals knocked down bodies to the cobblestones, and stumbling runners caused several pileups during the two-and-a-half-minute run from the pen to the bull ring, where bullfighters will kill the bulls later in the day.\n\n\n\nOne runner was pierced by a horn in the face, while 12 more people needed medical treatment for an assortment of knocks, according to the University of Navarra Hospital.\n\n\n\nA black bull broke away from the pack early in the 875-meter (957-yard) run and plowed into a group of people, smacking one full in the side of the face with a horn. It was not clear if that was the moment of the goring.\n\n\n\nMany runners appeared completely unaware when bulls were breathing down their necks and, instead of trying to gore them, just shoved them out of the way.\n\n\n\nSaturday was the fifth morning run of the eight-day festival in northern Spain.\n\n\n\nThis year’s festival comes 100 years after the publication of Ernest Hemingway’s novel “The Sun Also Rises,” whose publication launched the San Fermin festival to international fame.\n\n\n\nThe last death at San Fermin’s bull runs occurred in 2009, but gorings and broken bones are common, partly due to the large number of novice bull runners and foreign tourists who join the experienced locals.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/one-runner-gored-in-face-spain-san-fermin-bull-run-festival/4048344/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-12T09:05:45.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2284823584.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D7392%2C5120","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"one-runner-gored-in-the-face-at-spains-san-fermin-bull-run-festival"},{"id":"mc37ws","title":"McKinney homeowners push back against Oncor tree-trimming project","excerpt":"For homeowner Rob Wythe, preserving the historic character of downtown McKinney includes protecting the mature cedar and walnut trees that surround his home.\n\n\n\n“The charm is taking these homes and bringing them back to life, and that’s what makes people come to downtown McKinney,” Wythe said.\n\n\n...","content":"For homeowner Rob Wythe, preserving the historic character of downtown McKinney includes protecting the mature cedar and walnut trees that surround his home.\n\n\n\n“The charm is taking these homes and bringing them back to life, and that’s what makes people come to downtown McKinney,” Wythe said.\n\n\n\nWythe said he regularly hires arborists to maintain his trees and keep them clear of power lines.\n\n\n\n“We also take care of the trees too by hiring arborists to cut back from those lines, so we are watching out for it too,” Wythe said.\n\n\n\nBut when contractors working for Oncor arrived to trim his walnut tree, Wythe said he was told the tree would have to be cut back to the trunk.\n\n\n\n“The first group was telling me I was going to have to cut it at the trunk,” Wythe said.\n\n\n\nWythe said he refused because he believed the planned trimming would kill the tree.\n\n\n\n“I said you’re not going to come down as much as you’re planning to because you’re going to kill my trees,” Wythe said.\n\n\n\nHe said the disagreement escalated.\n\n\n\n“We’re going to be back tomorrow and if you step in our way we’ll come with police to take you away,” Wythe said.\n\n\n\nWythe enlisted ISA-certified arborist Julie Odum to evaluate the trees.\n\n\n\n“The problem is when you cut away 50% of the canopy of any tree you have increased the likelihood of tree failure exponentially,” Odum said.\n\n\n\nOdum helped present crews with a cease-and-desist request while neighbors gathered to voice their concerns.\n\n\n\n“Again, we understand powerlines need to be cleared, but can you do it with a little more ease or working with the owners? Most of us didn’t get notifications they were going to this even until someone knocked on our door saying we’re doing this today,” Wythe said.\n\n\n\nOne homeowner on Hill Street showed NBC 5 a front yard that had been reduced to a single hanging branch after four mature trees were cut down to their stumps.\n\n\n\nThe homeowner told NBC 5 the options presented were either to allow the trees to be cut back, leaving them to die while remaining the homeowner’s responsibility, or to have them cut down entirely. The homeowner said they are now responsible for removing the stumps.\n\n\n\nOncor confirmed its safety and reliability project includes replacing power poles. In a statement provided to NBC 5, the company acknowledged residents’ concerns while emphasizing that the work is necessary.\n\n\n\n“This work is being done to prepare for future reliability upgrades, and maintaining safe clearance around power lines is critical to preventing outages and protecting the safety of our customers and workers.”\n\n\n\nOdum argued the work has left historic properties with diminished value while creating additional risks.\n\n\n\n“The first load event that occurs it’s going to push the tree into the house,” Odum said.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

However, with two serious situations this week, there’s a renewed call for roadside safety.\n\n\n\n“We’re not out there just because we want to be out there,” Snow said. “We’re out there because we have a reason to be out there, and that’s why we have those lights to let drivers know we’re trying to get everything cleared up as fast as possible.”\n\n\n\nTexas law requires drivers to move over an entire lane, or slow down to 20 miles per hour below the posted speed limit when approaching roadside workers. \n\n\n\nHowever, that law isn’t always followed.

Investigators said Bates admitted to taking the photos and videos found on his phone.\n\n\n\nIrving Police said the investigation began after officers were called June 3 about a man photographing and recording women inside a restroom and dressing room at a business in the 7700 block of North MacArthur Boulevard. During the investigation, store employees told police the same unidentified man had done the same thing several times before.\n\n\n\nAccording to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by NBC 5, on June 27, Irving Police were called to a TJ Maxx store on North MacArthur Boulevard, where employees said a man had been taking photos of women in the restroom.\n\n\n\nEmployees told police that a customer and her daughter reported seeing a man taking photos of them in the restroom before he left the store. About 40 minutes later, employees said, the same man returned wearing the same clothes and walked back toward the women’s restroom. An employee went to the women’s restroom and spoke with another employee who was walking out. According to the affidavit, the employee “was bothered by something that occurred and was extremely emotional.” The employee told police she was wearing a dress and using the toilet when she looked down and saw a man’s hand holding a phone under the stall. She said she could see the phone was recording.\n\n\n\nA loss prevention officer gave police the man’s license plate number and told investigators he had been alleged to have committed several similar offenses at the store on April 12 and June 1, according to the affidavit. Irving investigators said they recovered electronic evidence suggesting there may be additional victims recorded inside stores along North MacArthur Boulevard between Texas 161 and Interstate 635.\n\n\n\nPolice said they used the license plate number to identify Bates as the vehicle’s owner. Investigators also said they compared body camera footage from a traffic stop involving the vehicle’s owner with surveillance video from the store and confirmed the same man appeared in both videos.\n\n\n\nMakarious Jevonne Bates\n\n\n\nIn the affidavit, police said data from Flock cameras showed that Bates’ vehicle was scanned along MacArthur Boulevard in the area where the offenses were alleged to have occurred. Officers later initiated another traffic stop, arrested Bates on an unrelated offense and impounded his vehicle. Police said Bates’ phone was seized during his arrest and that he gave officers his passcode. After a search warrant was executed, police said forensic teams found more than 290 images and videos of “women walking through department stores, dressing rooms or bathrooms.” Investigators said some of the images contained metadata showing when and where the photos and videos were taken.\n\n\n\nPolice said one video dated June 15 showed an employee using the bathroom at a store on Forest Lane in Dallas. The woman was identified and contacted by police. She told investigators she had no idea she had been recorded using the restroom, identified herself in the video and agreed to press charges.\n\n\n\nAfter that interview, police obtained an arrest warrant for Bates on June 25 on an invasive recording charge. On June 26, investigators went to a Kroger store on North MacArthur Boulevard, where Bates was believed to be employed. Officials said they learned Bates had been fired from a different Kroger store, but that he had been “captured on video recording another victim in their bathroom.” That woman gave police a written statement and agreed to press charges.\n\n\n\nPolice said Bates was arrested that afternoon and admitted to recording the photos and videos found on his phone. Bates was charged with multiple counts of invasive visual recording and is free on bond. It’s unclear if he’s obtained an attorney to speak on his behalf.\n\n\n\nIrving Police ask any shopper who believes they may have encountered Bates or who suspects their privacy may have been invaded to contact Detective S. Herring at 972-721-2604 or sherring@irvingtx.gov.

Graham had just returned from a trip to Ukraine before his sudden death.\n\n\n\nThe president said that Graham called him in the early evening to discuss the SAVE America Act, a bill that would reshape how elections operate but does not have enough support to pass the Senate.\n\n\n\n“He actually said he was tired, but he wanted to pass the SAVE America Act, and I said, ‘Well, we’re going to get it done, Lindsey. We’re going to get it done. I’ll see you, like, soon,’” Trump told “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker, adding that the two believed they might meet on Sunday.\n\n\n\nIn a separate interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Trump said that Graham was also “telling me about the trip” in their phone call, noting that the senator “had a great trip.”\n\n\n\nTrump remembered the late senator as someone with a “unique ability,” saying that Graham could work out issues with Democrats and that he “loved being a politician.”\n\n\n\n“If I had a problem, a real problem, I wouldn’t often ask. But if I had a problem with a Democrat, he could work it out,” Trump said. “He was a great, he was a great politician, actually.”\n\n\n\nAt the same time, Trump said, the senator could be a “tough cookie.”\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvoting\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMar 27\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNot all driver's licenses usable for voter registration under the SAVE Act.

The senator was a prominent foreign policy hawk within the Republican Party.\n\n\n\nGraham had pushed for Trump to support Ukraine in the war against Russia, and he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Friday, just a day before he died.\n\n\n\nThe senator also had urged Trump to take a hardline approach against Iran, pushing for military intervention while arguing that Iranian leadership was an unreliable negotiating partner.\n\n\n\nThough Graham ultimately formed a close alliance with the president, he previously publicly criticized him multiple times.\n\n\n\nA decade ago, Graham was a critic of Trump when the then-candidate ran for president for the first time. The senator also briefly ran for president in the 2016 cycle. Ahead of Trump securing the GOP nomination, Graham said that Trump ran “a campaign on xenophobia, race-baiting, religious bigotry — that cannot be Republican conservatism.”\n\n\n\nGraham said that he did not vote for Trump nor then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016.\n\n\n\nThe senator also broke with Trump in the hours after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.\n\n\n\n“Trump and I, we’ve had a hell of a journey,” Graham said in a speech at the time. “I hate it to end this way. Oh my God, I hate it. From my point of view, he’s been a consequential president, but today, first thing you’ll see.”\n\n\n\n“All I can say is a count me out. Enough is enough,” he said.\n\n\n\n\n\nWeeks later, he voted to acquit Trump after his impeachment, saying in a statement that “this was an impeachment effort driven by passion and hatred against President Trump.” He went on to support Trump in the 2024 election.\n\n\n\nTrump discussed the evolution of their relationship, saying on “Meet the Press” that he got to know Graham during the 2016 campaign. The senator “respected” that Trump won the primary in South Carolina, Trump said.\n\n\n\n“We sort of got a little bit friendly, and just the friendship grew,” Trump continued. “It just grew, and he was an amazing advocate. He was — I don’t know how you find anybody like him.”\n\n\n\nGraham, who was up for reelection this fall, was endorsed by Trump, who said in the endorsement that Graham was “a wonderful friend to me” and someone who “has always been there when I needed him.”\n\n\n\nThe senator thanked Trump in his own social media post, touting their personal and professional relationship.\n\n\n\n“On a professional level, I am proud to have been there at the beginning when President Trump — through sheer force of will —achieved the greatest political comeback in American history,” Graham said, thanking Trump in March 2025 for his endorsement. “On a personal level, I genuinely enjoy our friendship. He’s an awesome golfing buddy, who I have yet to beat.”\n\n\n\nScott Wong and Frank Thorp V contributed.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/trump-spoke-with-sen-lindsey-graham-hours-before-death/4048341/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Megan Brand | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-12T08:50:47.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2022%2F11%2FGettyImages-1180489973.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4000%2C2667","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"trump-says-he-spoke-with-sen-lindsey-graham-hours-before-his-death"},{"id":"s5wpmz","title":"Cheney’s nine years as Frisco mayor ends tonight as Hill takes the oath","excerpt":"Jeff Cheney will take his seat on the dais in the Frisco Council Chambers one last time on Tuesday, July 7, not to cast a vote or open a public hearing, but to pass the gavel to the next mayor-elect…","content":"Jeff Cheney will take his seat on the dais in the Frisco Council Chambers one last time on Tuesday, July 7, not to cast a vote or open a public hearing, but to pass the gavel to the next mayor-elect…","url":"https://starlocalmedia.com/friscoenterprise/news/frisco-city-council-honors-jeff-cheney-on-final-day-as-mayor/article_f735f675-26cf-478b-8e69-385b3956f4a4.html","source":"Frisco Enterprise (Star Local Media)","author":"Staff Report","publishDate":"2026-07-07T17:27:00.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com%2Fstarlocalmedia.com%2Fcontent%2Ftncms%2Fassets%2Fv3%2Feditorial%2F1%2Fdb%2F1db4dada-858e-11ef-be2c-a34e259fb4b1%2F6705569232094.image.jpg%3Fresize%3D300%252C200","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"cheneys-nine-years-as-frisco-mayor-ends-tonight-as-hill-takes-the-oath"},{"id":"b9684o","title":"Governor Abbott announces massive AI tech investment in North Texas","excerpt":"Taiwanese electronics manufacturer LITEON is investing nearly $919 million to build a major AI power infrastructure facility in McKinney, Texas, creating over 600 new jobs.","content":"Taiwanese electronics manufacturer LITEON is investing nearly $919 million to build a major AI power infrastructure facility in McKinney, Texas, creating over 600 new jobs.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/abbott-announces-liteon-ai-facility-texas","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Joseph.Rowe@fox.com (Joseph Rowe)","publishDate":"2026-07-13T20:51:54.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox7austin.com%2Fwww.fox7austin.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fgettyimages-2253343387.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"governor-abbott-announces-massive-ai-tech-investment-in-north-texas"},{"id":"d8f6dm","title":"The U.S. launches more strikes on Iran as the standoff over the Strait of Hormuz escalates","excerpt":"The United States launched several waves of strikes on Iran on Sunday over an Iranian attack on a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz that set it ablaze and left a crew member missing the day before.

Iran responded with attacks on Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and Oman — the nation on the other side of the strait that Tehran has pressed to collaborate in managing shipping traffic.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. military said it was seeking “to degrade” Iran’s “ability to attack commercial ships freely transiting” the critical strait. The statement came after a third round of strikes late Sunday night and into Monday in Iran.\n\n\n\nThe first wave, on Sunday morning, came in response to an Iranian strike on a container ship in the critical waterway on Saturday. Iran responded to those strikes by attacking Gulf Arab states in an escalating cycle of violence that left the negotiations between Tehran and Washington to end the war at the edge of collapse.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. struck again later in the day. The governor of Qeshm Island near the strait told Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency that projectiles were fired at military targets, with no casualties. Explosions were also heard in the coastal city of Bandar Abbas and Hajiabad city to the north.\n\n\n\nA U.S. official said a few strikes were conducted on missile and air defense systems and paramilitary Revolutionary Guard boats at a couple of locations to further degrade Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss military operations.\n\n\n\nIran and the U.S. are nearly at the midway point of the 60-day period of ther interim deal aimed at reaching a permanent end to the war. The strait, a key route for the global supply of oil and natural gas, and long considered an international waterway, has become a sticking point in negotiations that seem in danger of collapse.\n\n\n\n“A return to full-scale hostilities would have catastrophic consequences,” United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said, according to a statement.\n\n\n\nIran says the strait is closed but the U.S. disagrees\n\n\n\nThe U.S. military said it hit some 140 targets in Sunday’s strikes, far more than in the two previous rounds of attacks, and went after missile and drone launch sites, ammunition dumps, communication equipment and other sites.\n\n\n\nThe attacks were heavier than in recent days. The U.S. has launched three rounds of airstrikes targeting Iran in the past week over attacks on ships heading through the strait using a route off Oman, seeking to avoid the Islamic Republic’s territorial waters.\n\n\n\n“We bombed the hell out of them last night,” President Donald Trump told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”\n\n\n\nSemiofficial Iranian news agencies reported that a navy officer was killed. Iran retaliated by attacking nations in the region hosting U.S. military forces, while insisting it alone must control the strait and potentially charge vessels for traveling through it.\n\n\n\n“The era of one-sided deals is OVER,” Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, the speaker of Iran’s parliament and a main negotiator, wrote. “We told you: keep your word or pay the price. Reality is knocking.”\n\n\n\nIran said the strait was closed until calm is restored, and Tehran would consider targeting “additional enemy bases in the region” if it faced more attacks. The U.S. military and Trump asserted that the strait remained open.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. military said over 140 ships had transited over the past week. A multinational body overseen by the U.S. Navy said traffic continued “at reduced levels” off both Oman and Iran, and that nearly 140 vessels transited daily before the war.\n\n\n\nAbout a fifth of all traded oil and natural gas passed through the strait before the war began. Iran’s grip on it during the war led to a global energy crisis, though oil prices have sharply dropped since wartime highs of $120 a barrel.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImmigration\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 7\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tU.S. illegally shared confidential info on asylum seekers with Iran, lawsuit alleges\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWar with Iran\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 1\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe AP reconstructs a U.S. strike that killed over 100 Iranian children\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nOman summons Iranian envoy to protest attack\n\n\n\nMissile alerts sounded across several Gulf Arab nations early Sunday morning.\n\n\n\nQatar’s military said it intercepted incoming Iranian fire, with explosions heard in the neighboring United Arab Emirates. Three people, including a child, were wounded as a result of falling shrapnel from the interception of Iranian attacks, Qatar’s Interior Ministry said.\n\n\n\nMissile alerts sounded in Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet.\n\n\n\nKuwait’s Defense Ministry said three “land border posts” in the north and an offshore drilling platform of the Kuwait Oil Company were damaged, with one worker wounded.\n\n\n\nThree Iranian missiles struck areas across Jordan, causing minor damage but no injuries, Jordan’s state news agency reported.\n\n\n\nAnd the Omani state news agency said drones struck sites in an area on the waterway, a day after Oman and Iran held talks on the strait and agreed to continue discussions. The strait sits in Iran and Oman’s territorial waters.\n\n\n\nOman summoned the Iranian ambassador to protest the strikes, the first such move since the war began, calling Iran’s acts “irresponsible.”\n\n\n\nIranian strike on ship harms Indian crew\n\n\n\nThe Cyprus-flagged container ship hit by Iran suffered “significant engine room damage,” the U.S. military said.\n\n\n\nOman’s maritime authority said it rescued 23 crew members but one was missing. India’s foreign ministry called him an Indian national.\n\n\n\nThe United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center, overseen by the British military, said the ship had been moving along Oman’s shoreline.\n\n\n\nIran’s Revolutionary Guard said multiple vessels “disregarded our warnings” and ignored instructions to follow what it called an approved route. One “was struck by a warning shot and brought to a stop.”\n\n\n\nIranian state media later reported U.S. strikes across the country, including southern Iran in the province closest to the strait and military sites in a province near Tehran.\n\n\n\nAttacks followed more diplomatic talks about the strait\n\n\n\nTrump suggested last week that the interim deal in the war was “over.” But mediators, including Pakistan, Qatar and Egypt, have continued efforts to reach an agreement.\n\n\n\nA regional official involved in mediation, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss talks, said efforts to shore up the ceasefire continued Sunday. Pakistan said its foreign minister spoke by phone with Iran’s top diplomat and urged “de-escalation” on both sides.\n\n\n\nIran’s new supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, unseen since the war began, on Saturday vowed in his first statement since the funeral of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, that Iranians would avenge his killing in the war’s opening strikes on Feb. 28.\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nWeissert and Toropin reported from Washington.

It’s a trace mineral, which means our body only needs a tiny amount to function — but this heavy metal does a lot of heavy lifting.\n\n\n\nIron plays a major role in many important bodily functions, from forming red blood cells to boosting energy levels and supporting our immune system. It’s also vital to a healthy pregnancy.\n\n\n\nThat’s why it’s important to get enough iron in your daily diet. If you want to reap the benefits of this mineral, you can do so by eating a variety of nutritious, iron-rich foods.\n\n\n\nHealth benefits of iron\n\n\n\n“Iron has a central role in the transport of oxygen through the body,” Sibylle Kranz, Ph.D., dietitian and spokesperson for The Obesity Society, tells TODAY.com.\n\n\n\nIt’s the main component of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs and delivers it to the organs and tissues. Iron also makes up myoglobin, a protein in skeletal muscle that holds onto oxygen and releases it when the muscles need to contract or move, per the Cleveland Clinic.\n\n\n\nIron supports immune function because it’s necessary for the development of germ-fighting white blood cells, Kranz notes. Iron also helps the enzymes that drive reactions involved in metabolism and energy production.\n\n\n\nAnd iron is required for healthy cell growth, especially in the brain, which is why it’s so important for pregnant women and children, Kranz explains.\n\n\n\nDespite all of these benefits, many people don’t consume enough of this mineral.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tnews\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSep 26, 2024\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEat iron-rich foods with those high in vitamin C—and 2 more essential food pairings to maximize your meals\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHealth\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSep 24, 2024\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIron deficiency in adults may be more common than thought, study finds\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nHow much iron do you need daily?\n\n\n\nIron needs vary depending on your age, gender and health status. According to the National Institutes of Health, the recommended daily intake (in milligrams) of iron for adults is:\n\n\n\n\nMen: 8 milligrams per day\n\n\n\nWomen: 18 milligrams per day\n\n\n\nPregnant women: 27 milligrams per day\n\n\n\nAdults over 50: 8 milligrams per day\n\n\n\n\nWomen of reproductive age need a higher daily intake of iron because it’s lost through blood during menstruation, Kranz notes.\n\n\n\nMost adults in the U.S. get enough iron from food, per the NIH, but some people are at higher risk of an iron deficiency. These include people who are pregnant, have gastrointestinal disorders, follow a vegan diet or donate blood frequently.\n\n\n\nLow iron levels can lead to anemia, which occurs when the body doesn’t have enough healthy red blood cells. Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, low exercise tolerance, pale skin and shortness of breath.\n\n\n\nIndividuals at risk of a deficiency may benefit iron supplements, TODAY.com reported previously. And everyone can increase their iron intake by eating more foods rich in this mineral.\n\n\n\nMeats with the most iron per serving\n\n\n\n“Meat, especially seafood and lean meat, are the best sources of iron for individuals who consume animal products,” says Kranz.\n\n\n\nThere are two forms of iron found in food: heme iron and non-heme iron, says Kranz. Heme iron is found in animal sources, whereas non-heme iron comes from plants and fortified foods.\n\n\n\nNon-heme iron is not as well absorbed by the body as heme iron, says Kranz. This means you need to consume a lot more of it — almost two times the amount — to meet nutritional needs.\n\n\n\nEating meat is a much more efficient way to get iron. You only need a small amount to hit the recommended intake. If you eat meat as part of a diet rich in plants, including iron-rich vegetables and legumes, you’ll get plenty.\n\n\n\nHere’s which meats offer the most iron per serving (based on a standard daily value of 18 milligrams):\n\n\n\nChicken Liver\n\n\n\nOrgan meat is incredibly nutrient-dense and good for you, even if it isn’t as popular as other meat options, and chicken liver is one of the most iron-rich meats you can eat.\n\n\n\nThree ounces of cooked chicken liver packs 11 milligrams of iron, over 60% of the daily value, per the U.S. Department of Agriculture database.\n\n\n\nIn addition to iron, chicken liver is loaded with complete protein, B vitamins to support a healthy metabolism, vitamin A and brain-boosting choline.\n\n\n\nIf you’re hesitant about whole chicken livers, try the blended version in a savory pâté.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOysters\n\n\n\nShellfish — which is, scientifically-speaking, considered a type of meat — is another excellent source of iron, says Kranz. The rich, salty flesh of oysters is loaded with minerals and vitamins.\n\n\n\nOne serving (3.5 ounces, or two to three large oysters) of cooked eastern oysters has 7.8 milligrams of iron, or 44% of the daily value.\n\n\n\nIf you down a dozen for an entree, you’ll easily meet your iron needs for the day.\n\n\n\nOysters also pack over 100% of the daily value of selenium and immune-boosting zinc. Plus you’ll get a hefty dose of lean protein and healthy fats, including omega-3 fatty acids which support heart and brain health.\n\n\n\nMussels\n\n\n\nMussels are another iron-rich shellfish, which can help fight fatigue and support healthy muscles.\n\n\n\nThree ounces of cooked blue mussels provide nearly 6 milligrams of iron, or about one-third of the daily value.\n\n\n\nIn addition to iron, mussels are loaded with protein, energy-boosting vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids and manganese.\n\n\n\nEnjoy fresh mussels steamed, or try canned mussels, a delicious and budget-friendly option.\n\n\n\nDuck Breast\n\n\n\nDuck is a nutrient-rich poultry option that will provide a hefty dose of iron along with amino acids and other micronutrients.\n\n\n\nOne serving of cooked, meat-only duck breast contains nearly 4 milligrams of iron, or about 22% of the daily value.\n\n\n\nDuck breast is also great source of complete protein, B vitamins, phosphorus and selenium.\n\n\n\nBison\n\n\n\nA naturally lean, high-protein meat, Bison is a great source of iron.\n\n\n\nOne serving (a 4-ounce patty) of cooked grass-fed ground bison contains over 3.2 milligrams of iron, 18% of the daily value.\n\n\n\nIn addition to energy-boosting iron, bison is rich in B vitamins and other minerals.\n\n\n\nBison is a free-range game animal, which means the meat tends be higher in nutrients and anti-inflammatory omega-3s but lower in saturated fat than grain-fed beef, for example, TODAY.com previously reported.\n\n\n\nSardines\n\n\n\nSardines are a nutritional powerhouse known for their protein and healthy fat content — but the tiny fish are also a good source of heme iron, according to Kranz.\n\n\n\nOne can of sardines packed in oil, drained, provides nearly 3 milligrams of iron, or about 16% of the daily value.\n\n\n\nCanned sardines are a convenient, healthy seafood that’s loaded with nutrients. In addition to iron, sardines provide heart-healthy omega-3s, calcium for strong bones and some vitamin D.\n\n\n\nBeef\n\n\n\nSurprised to see beef last on the list? Red meat gets a reputation for being rich in heme iron — and it is. While beef does get edged out by other meats with more iron per serving, it’s still a good source of this essential mineral, says Kranz.\n\n\n\nOne serving of bottom round steak, trimmed to 0% fat, provides about 2.5 milligrams of iron, which is about 11% of the daily value.\n\n\n\nBeef is a great source protein, featuring all nine essential amino acids, as well as vitamin B12, which supports healthy red blood cells along with heme iron. It’s also high in creatine, which provides energy to the cells and improves athletic performance.\n\n\n\nIn addition to these meats, there are plenty of iron-rich plant foods, including white beans, lentils, spinach and tofu.\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

He was 71.\n\n\n\nGraham died Saturday night “from a brief and sudden illness,” his office said in a statement.\n\n\n\n“Senator Graham’s family appreciates prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period,” the statement said.\n\n\n\nPresident Donald Trump led tributes Sunday to “one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known,” describing Graham as a “true American Patriot” in a Truth Social post.\n\n\n\nHe later told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that he spoke with Graham on Saturday night, hours before the senator died, adding that “other than being tired, he was fine.”\n\n\n\nAt the White House, flags were lowered to half-staff. In a later post on Truth Social, Trump ordered that all American flags must fly at half-staff until Saturday at 6 p.m.\n\n\n\nGraham was chairman of the Senate Budget Committee and was seeking a fifth six-year Senate term in November. He was one of the most well-known members of the chamber and a key voice within the party on defense and foreign policy. EMS audio later indicated CPR was in progress.\n\n\n\nEmergency personnel responded to a call for “cardiac arrest” at Graham’s Capitol Hill home on Saturday night, according to police scanner audio obtained by NBC News.\n\n\n\n\n\nPhotographs reviewed by NBC News show that paramedics carried a person on a stretcher from Graham’s home to an awaiting ambulance. Police cars and fire trucks were also on site.\n\n\n\nA top staffer to Graham told NBC News early Sunday that there was no indication the lawmaker was feeling unwell prior to his death. He had been scheduled to appear on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday. Graham was a frequent guest on the broadcast, appearing a total of 63 times over the years.\n\n\n\nGraham’s office said Sunday that the preliminary cause of death was “aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease,” or a rupture of his aorta due to a hardening of his arteries.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSenate Majority Leader John Thune paid tribute to a “strong advocate for the United States and a strong ally to freedom-loving countries across the globe,” while South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster said Graham had been “the fiercest of fighters for South Carolina and America—and a loyal and steadfast friend.”\n\n\n\nFormer President George W. Bush said Graham “understood how the world works and how important America’s international engagement is to resist tyranny.”\n\n\n\nAccording to South Carolina law, McMaster will appoint someone to fill Graham’s seat until Jan. 3 of next year.\n\n\n\nIn June, Graham defeated multiple primary challengers to secure the nomination for a fifth term in the Senate. South Carolina Republicans must now find a replacement nominee for that race, with a special primary expected by Aug. 11 under the state’s election laws.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump administration\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJan 26, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSen.

Israel has lost one of the great champions of the American-Israeli alliance. And frankly, I’ve lost a beloved friend who I’ve had for many decades.”\n\n\n\nHe added that Iran would be celebrating the news.\n\n\n\nTehran’s state media celebrated Graham’s death, describing him as “warmongering” and “anti-Iranian.” The country’s former crown prince Reza Pahlavi, an opponent of the regime, said on X that Graham “stood alongside the people of Iran in their struggle against tyranny.”\n\n\n\nHis death comes as fellow Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell remains in the hospital after paramedics responded to a call at a known residence last month for an individual experiencing cardiac arrest.\n\n\n\nA McConnell spokesperson has said the former GOP majority leader is continuing to recover, but his team has not provided further details about his condition.\n\n\n\nGraham grew up in the small town of Central, South Carolina, where his parents ran a restaurant and pool hall. The first of his family to go to college, he earned a law degree from the University of South Carolina before embarking on a career in the military, serving in the U.S. Air Force as a lawyer. Graham served a total of 33 years in the Air Force, Air Force Reserve and South Carolina Air National Guard, fulfilling his reserve duties while holding his seat in Congress. He retired in 2015 at the rank of colonel.\n\n\n\nGraham first arrived in Congress as a member of the House of Representatives, where he served from 1995 to 2003.\n\n\n\nHe ran for Senate in 2002, winning the South Carolina seat previously held by the retiring Strom Thurmond.\n\n\n\nGraham made a name for himself with his work on foreign policy. In recent years, he pressed both the Trump and Biden administrations to back Kyiv’s fight against Russia’s invasion, and pressed the Trump administration for a hawkish stance on Iran.\n\n\n\nHe found allies for his foreign policy positions in the upper chamber, befriending former Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., dubbed “the Three Amigos” for their shared hawkish stances.\n\n\n\nGraham was the Republicans’ “last highly effective advocate for the idea that American power must shape events before hostile powers reshape them,” Michael A. Horowitz, a geopolitical and security analyst, told NBC News.\n\n\n\nIn the Trump era, Horowitz added, “his foreign‑policy leverage shifted from shaping broad Senate consensus to shaping Trump’s own instincts, using loyalty and flattery to keep hard‑line positions on Iran, Ukraine, and Syria in the room even as the party’s base turned more inward.”\n\n\n\nGraham chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee from 2019 to 2021. He most recently served as chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, where he helped shepherd through a major tax cut and spending package during Trump’s second term.\n\n\n\nGraham was initially a critic of Trump, whom he briefly ran against during the 2016 Republican presidential primary. At the time, he warned: “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.” Graham even voted for a third-party candidate for president in 2016, saying he could not support either Trump or Hillary Clinton.\n\n\n\nThe pair’s relationship had evolved in the intervening decade, with Graham frequently praising Trump while sometimes pressing him on policy decisions. In an interview with NBC News in February, he called himself the president’s “North Star.”\n\n\n\n“We disagree, but he knows where I am coming from,” Graham said of the president. “He sees me helping him as much as anybody in the Senate.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/lindsey-graham-dies-at-71-after-brief-and-sudden-illness/4048314/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Scott Wong and Frank Thorp V | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-12T01:39:15.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2275283249.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D8075%2C5383","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"sen-lindsey-graham-dies-at-71-after-brief-and-sudden-illness"},{"id":"m4hnjm","title":"Fort Worth family says fireworks sparked house fire","excerpt":"A Fort Worth family says fireworks set their home on fire.

That’s what I assumed when I saw it, and that’s what the doctors think, too.”\n\n\n\nAsked if there may have been an existing injury, White said there were no signs of it at Friday’s ceremonial weigh-in. White added that with the millions of social-media views of McGregor rushing Holloway at the weigh-in, someone would have noticed if anyone was injured.\n\n\n\nHolloway said he kept telling referee Mike Beltran to stop the fight because it was apparent McGregor was injured, but the former champion kept saying, “Fight!”\n\n\n\n“During the fight, you could see his demeanor change,” Holloway said. “When I saw him hurt, I said, ‘Call this, he’s hurt.’\n\n\n\n“I just hope for a speedy recovery.”\n\n\n\nHolloway closed a -300 favorite at Bet MGM Sportsbook, which means a bettor would have to lay $300 to win $100. McGregor was a +240 underdog, which means a bettor would win $240 with a $100 wager on the Irishman.\n\n\n\nMcGregor, who strolled to the ring to the sounds of Notorious Biggie Smalls’ “Hypnotize” and the roar of the sold-out crowd, last fought exactly five years and a day before Saturday night.\n\n\n\nTo the delight of a frenzied audience just hours after his home country of England won its quarterfinal match over Norway in the World Cup, Liverpool’s Paddy Pimblett (24-4-0) made quick work of Benoit Saint Denis (17-4-0) with a first-round TKO. Pimblett, who closed a +120 underdog, blocked a roundkick, shot in and quickly applied a front headlock to put Saint Denis to sleep for the win in 52 seconds.\n\n\n\nIn a bantamweight battle, Mario Bautista (18-3-0) defeated Cory Sandhagen (18-7-0) by unanimous decision, after taking advantage of a first-round leg kick and applying pressure in each round after. A flurry of punches in the third round secured the decision.\n\n\n\nIn a scheduled three-round flyweight bout, Brandon Royval (18-9-0) applied a rear-naked choke on Lone’er Kavanagh (10-2-0) to win by submission at the 3:40 mark of the final round.\n\n\n\nIn an absolute shocker to start the main card, a bloodied King Green (36-17-0) overcame a beating for nearly the entire first round before landing a right hand to the jaw of Terrance McKinney (18-9-0) with roughly 20 seconds left, and then finished him off for a TKO at the 4:59 mark.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/conor-mcgregor-suffers-knee-injury-loses-max-holloway-ufc-329/4048309/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"W.G.

The Three Lions beat Norway 2-1 earlier in the day.\n\n\n\n“We’re among the best four,” Alvarez said, “so we’re meeting our objectives, and we knew it wasn’t going to be easy. The whole match was hard, and we would have loved to have the win earlier, but we tried to get the win however we could.\n\n\n\n“The opponent was really good but we fought until the end, and finally the goals came.”\n\n\n\nMessi’s nine-game World Cup scoring streak ended, but his pursuit of a second World Cup title continues. With Argentina and England joining France and Spain in the semifinals, it’s the first time the top four teams in the FIFA rankings have all advanced that far.\n\n\n\nThe game swung in the second half on a call sure to rile up critics who believe Argentina has been favored by officials in this tournament.\n\n\n\nThe Swiss had just tied the game on Dan Ndoye’s goal in the 67th minute when Leandro Paredes was shown a yellow card for a tackle on Breel Embolo. But video showed the Swiss player falling before the Argentina midfielder made contact with him, and since Embolo received a yellow card earlier in the match, he was sent off and Switzerland was left to defend with 10 players.\n\n\n\nIt was the second time a yellow card has been overturned using the “mistaken identity” protocol at the World Cup. The rule allows the video assistant referee to intervene when an incorrect player is shown a yellow or red card.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArgentina, which is riding a 12-match World Cup unbeaten streak, had looked quite beatable in the knockout rounds. Lionel Scaloni’s squad needed extra time to squeak past tiny Cape Verde before rallying from a 2-0 deficit in the final 11 minutes of regulation to beat Egypt and earn a date with Switzerland at the home of the Kansas City Chiefs.\n\n\n\nThe Swiss, meanwhile, were playing their first World Cup quarterfinal since 1954. They still have never made a semifinal, nor have they beaten Argentina in eight meetings — three of those in the tournament that matters the most.\n\n\n\nArgentina has made its base for the past month in Kansas City, training at the home of MLS club Sporting Kansas City while winning over thousands of new fans. And on Saturday night, they filled Arrowhead Stadium for the second time this tournament, hoping to see Messi make more magic after his hat trick against Algeria in the same building a few weeks ago.\n\n\n\nIt was brutally hot and humid throughout the day, but the temperatures began to fall with the setting sun, producing a picturesque setting for the 100th match of an expanded World Cup, and the final match of the quarterfinal round.\n\n\n\nThe defensive-minded Swiss had only conceded three goals in five games, and they dominated the ball in the opening minutes. But leave it to Messi, whose eight goals in the tournament are tied for the most with France’s Kylian Mbappé, to send a jolt through a heavily pro-Argentina crowd that included Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 11\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBellingham scores twice to lift England past Haaland and Norway 2-1 and into World Cup semifinals\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 9\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe 2026 World Cup semifinals are set.

And it didn’t help their cause that they were playing without Johan Manzabi, one of their best goal-scorers, who remained out with a knee injury after missing their round of 16 penalty shootout win over Colombia.\n\n\n\nBut after forcing Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez into making a couple of tough second-half saves, the Swiss broke through when Ricardo Rodriguez slipped a tidy pass to Ndoye and he easily found the back of the net.\n\n\n\nWhatever momentum the equalizer gave the Swiss disappeared with Embolo’s red card a few minutes later.\n\n\n\nArgentina turned up the pressure with Mac Allister missing wide with a header in the 89th minute, and Messi creating an opportunity in front of the goal that he sent just wide in the second minute of stoppage time, leaving the game tied into extra time.\n\n\n\nJust as they have all tournament, La Albiceleste found a way to keep their quest for back-to-back championships alive.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/argentina-beats-switzerland-3-1-messi-world-cup/4048299/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Dave Skretta | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-11T23:04:55.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26193130928235.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4014%2C2676","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"argentina-beats-switzerland-3-1-in-extra-time-to-keep-alive-hopes-of-world-cup-repeat"},{"id":"cfcrfl","title":"2 killed, 6 injured at Toronto festival after pair of gunmen shoot at one another","excerpt":"Two people were killed and six others were injured when a pair of gunmen opened fire at a festival celebrating Latino culture in Toronto on Saturday, police said.\n\n\n\nTwo of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene, while five others suffered gunshot wounds and another was hospitalized with u...","content":"Two people were killed and six others were injured when a pair of gunmen opened fire at a festival celebrating Latino culture in Toronto on Saturday, police said.\n\n\n\nTwo of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene, while five others suffered gunshot wounds and another was hospitalized with unspecified injuries following the gunfire in the area of St. Clair and Arlington avenues during the Salsa on St. Clair festival, Toronto police said.\n\n\n\n“There seemed to be an exchange of gunfire between individuals targeting each other,” Frank Barredo, Toronto Police Service deputy chief, said during a news conference.\n\n\n\nIt wasn’t clear whether the gunmen were among the dead or injured, nor could police say late Saturday whether any shooter was still being sought.\n\n\n\nThe shooting was reported around 8:12 p.m., Barredo said. An estimated 13,000 people were taking part in the festival, he said.\n\n\n\nTwo guns were recovered and investigators were focused on three different crime scenes, the chief said, adding that the investigation would be “complex.”\n\n\n\nMayor Olivia Chow expressed anger over the violence, especially because the festival attracts children and families.\n\n\n\n“I’m deeply disturbed and angry about this reckless, irresponsible act of violence right in the middle of a festival,” she said at the news conference.\n\n\n\nOne witness, Pamela Garcia, told Toronto news outlet CP24 that she heard three shots and saw people in the crowd run and scream.\n\n\n\nAnother witness, Jacy Lin, recalled being at the festival’s salsa stage and seeing everyone suddenly run toward it before police arrived, the music stopped and people began leaving.\n\n\n\n“I was walking from here and there was like a yellow tape, and I saw a bunch of paramedics coming down with a man and they were just doing CPR,” “Lin said. “And he had like an oxygen tank and everything, and he didn’t look well.”\n\n\n\nSalsa on St. Clair is a two-day festival celebrating Latino culture with music, dance food and art.

The outflow, according to TRA, has not affected drinking water or service to any customers.\n\n\n\nAll other areas of Joe Pool Lake remain open.\n\n\n\nWhile public drinking water and aquatic life has not been affected, TRA did warn those with private water wells.\n\n\n\n“People using private drinking water supply wells located within 1/2-mile of the spill site or within the potentially affected area should use only water that has been distilled or boiled at a rolling boil for at least one minute for all personal uses including drinking, cooking, bathing, and tooth brushing,” TRA said. “Individuals with private water wells should have their well water tested and disinfected, if necessary, prior to discontinuing distillation or boiling.”\n\n\n\nAfter the break, sampling indicated both swim beaches and the Loyd Park boat ramp should remain closed until state water quality standards were met.\n\n\n\nAccording to a spokesperson for the City of Grand Prairie, the USACE requires five days of sampling for confirmation to re-open swim beaches.

Following a video review, the goal was disallowed because of a foul by Haaland in the box. Haaland was also denied by Pickford on a point-blank header in the first half.\n\n\n\nSchjelderup, making just his second start of the tournament, fired a shot that caromed off the right post and into the net to stun an England team that had dominated possession to that point. Bellingham’s equalizer from close range elicited a roar from that crowd that included Mick Jagger and England great David Beckham.\n\n\n\nSchjelderup, who set up both of Haaland’s goals in Norway’s round of 16 win over Brazil, celebrated by stretching his arms wide and looking at the crowd as his teammates lifted him onto their shoulders. Meanwhile, Kane sat near midfield, grabbing his leg and looking toward the officials. No foul was called.\n\n\n\nMoments before Bellingham evened the score, a Norway goal kick resulted in the ball appearing to make contact with an aerial camera cable before landing at the feet of England’s Elliot Anderson. The ball was eventually played to Bellingham, who beat Ørjan Nyland with a low shot to the far post. By rule, if the ball had been noticed hitting the cable, play would have stopped and a drop ball would have been utilized to determine possession.\n\n\n\nThere was a brief moment of silence before the match in honor of Jayden Adams, the 25-year-old midfielder for South Africa whose death was announced earlier Saturday.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/england-norway-quarterfinals-result/4048235/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Alanis Thames | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-11T19:17:38.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26192788529477.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C686","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"bellingham-scores-twice-to-lift-england-past-haaland-and-norway-2-1-and-into-world-cup-semifinals"},{"id":"h5qzy1","title":"U.S. military says it is striking Iran in response to attack on civilian vessel in Strait of Hormuz","excerpt":"Iran said the Strait of Hormuz was closed once again after a warning shot fired by its military struck a vessel using an unauthorized route in the critical waterway, further jeopardizing the already tenuous ceasefire agreement with the United States.\n\n\n\nU.S. Central Command said a short time late...","content":"Iran said the Strait of Hormuz was closed once again after a warning shot fired by its military struck a vessel using an unauthorized route in the critical waterway, further jeopardizing the already tenuous ceasefire agreement with the United States.\n\n\n\nU.S. Central Command said a short time later that its forces began a third round of strikes against Iran.

Iran has insisted that the strait now remain under its control and that it be allowed to charge ships moving through it, a stance it took after the war began. The U.S. urges mariners to transit on a southern route through Oman’s territorial waters.\n\n\n\nAbout a fifth of all traded oil and natural gas passed through the strait before the war began. Iran’s grip on it during the war led to a global energy crisis, though oil prices have sharply dropped since wartime highs of $120 a barrel.\n\n\n\nIran’s top diplomat also accused the U.S. of violating the interim deal by ending waivers allowing Iran to sell crude oil on the open market in U.S. dollars. Washington ended them in response to the attacks on ships in the strait.\n\n\n\n“Reality check: There can only be mutual compliance,” Araghchi wrote on X.\n\n\n\n\n\nTrump says he responded to threats to kill him\n\n\n\nTrump said he’s personally been the target of an Iranian plot, and he said the U.S. military would automatically retaliate if he was killed.\n\n\n\nHe wrote on social media early Saturday that “1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat.”\n\n\n\nHowever, such retaliation would have to be ordered by Vice President JD Vance, who would become commander-in-chief if Trump were to be killed.\n\n\n\nTrump said he was responding to threats “to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate” him. During Khamenei’s funeral, mourners held posters or banners calling for Trump to be killed along with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. president has declared the ceasefire over but said the U.S. would continue negotiations.\n\n\n\nU.S. officials, speaking Friday on condition of anonymity about the current situation with Iran, said the resumption of strikes even before the latest round came as a result of what they described as a rogue faction of Iranian hard-liners who were trying to sabotage the ceasefire.\n\n\n\nIran has insisted its theocracy is unified under the new supreme leader.\n\n\n\nAfter the U.S. wrapped up strikes on Thursday, more attacks reportedly hit Iran, raising questions about who else may be targeting the Islamic Republic.\n\n\n\nIsrael didn’t claim them, meaning the Gulf Arab states may have launched them, likely as a means to deter Iran from attacking them again.

Results may take up to two business days. We will notify residents as soon as the water is confirmed safe and the notice is rescinded, the city said.\n\n\n\nFor the latest information, visit: aledotx.gov/boilnotice\n\n\n\nWhy are we asked to boil water?\n\n\n\nLower water pressure in the pipes allows groundwater and other contaminants to seep into older pipes that may have cracks. Some of that groundwater could contain harmful bacteria that can only be eliminated by boiling the water. Children, seniors, and persons with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria. When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the public water system officials will notify customers that the water is safe for drinking or other human consumption.\n\n\n\nWater for drinking or preparing food\n\n\n\n\nBring the water to a vigorous, rolling boil for 2 to 5 minutes, then allow it to cool before using. Boil tap water even if it’s filtered.\n\n\n\nYou can boil water and then refrigerate it for later use.\n\n\n\nYou can also substitute bottled water if available.\n\n\n\nDo not use any water from an appliance connected to the water line, such as filtration systems or ice and water from a refrigerator.\n\n\n\n\nOther water uses\n\n\n\n\nDuring a boil water notice, IT IS safe to shower or bathe as long as you don’t ingest the water. (As long as your city has not asked you to conserve for consumption only)\n\n\n\nUse caution when bathing babies and young children; consider a sponge bath to reduce the chances of them swallowing water.\n\n\n\nOnly brush your teeth with boiled or bottled water.\n\n\n\nIf possible, use disposable plates, cups and utensils. Dishwashers are safe to use if the final rinse temperature gets to at least 150 degrees or if you have a sanitizing cycle.\n\n\n\nIt is safe to wash laundry as usual.\n\n\n\nUse bottled, boiled or bleach-disinfected water for cleaning.\n\n\n\nDo not let pets drink tap water; either boil the water or use bottled water.\n\n\n\nTap water can be used to water plants.\n\n\n\n\nOnce power is stabilized and water pressure is restored, it may take 24 to 48 hours for the boil water notice to be lifted.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/aledo-issues-boil-water-notice-following-water-main-break/4047153/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-07-09T12:22:49.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2F742649392_1760543181658274_6576158658954560600_n.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D640%2C512","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"aledos-boil-water-notice-lifted-friday-following-water-main-break-wednesday"},{"id":"as5cn4","title":"US Sen.

A whopping 22,141 of the rapper’s fans, affectionately referred to as the “Bald-Es,” showed up to London’s BST Hyde Park festival to pull off the feat. The record was officially confirmed by the Guinness World Records.\n\n\n\nDale, indeed.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn a video capturing the official count, shared on the rapper’s social media, Pitbull can be seen ecstatically yelling, “Bald-E’s, we did it Bald-E’s! We did it Bald-E’s!”\n\n\n\nFor the gathering, thousands of fans showed up to the festival wearing not only bald caps, but also the rapper’s signature shades. Some took their outfits to another level, donning Pitbull’s legendary tie look, while others also drew on goatees for additional accuracy.\n\n\n\nTens of thousands of fans showed up to break the record.\n\n\n\n\nIn order for the record to be official, Pitbull himself had to wear a bald cap, Will Munford, an official adjudicator for the Guinness World Records said, according to The Guardian.\n\n\n\nThe moment called for serious counting. So, 400 volunteers were onsite to individually check people, Munford said, according to the outlet. There was also “drone footage with 42 counters backstage,” Munford added.\n\n\n\nThe record was officially confirmed by the Guinness World Records.\n\n\n\nThe gathering was actually the brainchild of British podcaster Jack Remington, who floated the idea on TikTok in October 2025.\n\n\n\n“The capacity of High Park is 65,000 people. That is easily enough to break the world record for the number of people cosplaying as Pitbull in one place at one time,” Remington said in the video. “There is only one man who can save us right now … and I actually have one thing to say. Dale.”\n\n\n\nPitbull eventually got wind of the proposed record attempt and it was on from there.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWell, we can safely say that everyone had a good hair day that day. \n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

O’Dell said she was by Funk’s side and that Funk had fallen a couple of times recently and had an infection in her leg.\n\n\n\n“It took its toll,” O’Dell said in a phone interview with The Associated Press.\n\n\n\nIn 2021, Funk was celebrated by the city of Grapevine for her historic spaceflight aboard a Blue Origin New Shepherd rocket. The mission was six decades in the making, as Funk, known as a pioneer for women in aviation and spaceflight, underwent a series of tests as part of NASA’s first human spaceflight program, “Project Mercury,” in the 1960s.\n\n\n\nFunk was one of 13 women selected to undergo the tests, known as the “Mercury 13.” Though it is commonly held that the group of women qualified to fly in space but were excluded because of their gender, Funk was adamant she was not selected because she did not have an engineering degree.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Wally Funk never stopped believing that one day she would reach space. Her passion for flight, perseverance, and love of exploration will continue to inspire generations of Americans. Godspeed, Wally,” NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman posted Thursday on X.\n\n\n\nO’Dell said Funk was the “most eternally optimistic person” she had ever met.\n\n\n\n“She was told by many, many, many men, ‘No, you can’t do this. No, you can’t do that,” O’Dell said. “And she never got mad about it. She just was more determined.”\n\n\n\nFor 60 years, Funk has been a member of the Ninety-Nines group. The international organization includes licensed female pilots from 44 countries.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt the age of 22, Funk already had the resume of lifetime achievements. She earned top aviation ratings in college, was a professional certified pilot, and became the first female civilian flight instructor at a U.S. military base — all at a time when women were systematically barred from many parts of life.\n\n\n\nFor Funk, all of it was in service of fulfilling one mission: becoming one of the first female astronauts. In 1961, the aviation whiz caught a break when, despite being under the required age of 24, she became the youngest of the so-called Mercury 13 women, who underwent testing to demonstrate that women could qualify for NASA’s astronaut corps.\n\n\n\nBut because she was a woman, Funk’s dreams of flying into space never came to fruition.\n\n\n\nUntil 60 years later on July 20, 2021. \n\n\n\nFunk, no stranger to breaking records, made history as the oldest astronaut when she emerged from the Blue Origin New Shepherd capsule after landing in the West Texas desert, with a big grin and arms opened wide. A look of pure elation spread across her face.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIndeed, Funk excelled across the board in every test she was given while participating in NASA’s 1961 Women In Space Program — sometimes even surpassing the men selected for the counter-astronaut program at the time. During one test, Funk was placed in a sensory deprivation tank where she remained for more than 10 hours before the researchers finally brought her out because they wanted to go home.\n\n\n\nWith more than 19,600 flying hours under her belt, Funk also likely has more time in the air than the three crewmen who joined her in space combined. She’s taught 3,000 students to fly.\n\n\n\nFunk was born in New Mexico in 1939 and grew up in Taos. She never married, famously saying she was “married to airplanes.” In 2024, three years after her trip to space, Funk was inducted into the Lone Star Flight Museum Hall of Fame.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tWally

downtown, according to a newspaper report.\n\n\n\nThe Dallas Morning News reported Wednesday that Cuban alleges Dumont has engaged in “adversarial business practices” in his bid to move the team about 10 miles north of downtown to the former site of a Dallas mall.\n\n\n\nA Mavericks spokeswoman and Cuban declined to comment to The Associated Press.\n\n\n\nThe billionaire businessman sold his majority stake in 2023 to the families of Miriam Adelson and Dumont, who is Adelson’s son-in-law.\n\n\n\nCuban said he had an agreement to continue running basketball operations, but Dumont gave former general manager Nico Harrison full control of the basketball side.\n\n\n\nThe newspaper reported that Cuban said in the filing he was unaware of Harrison’s plan to trade superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in February 2025 until it was too late to object and call off the trade.\n\n\n\nThe shocking trade backfired on the Mavericks, and Harrison was fired in November after the team’s slow start to the 2025-26 season.\n\n\n\nCuban owns 27% of the Mavericks, but the newspaper reported that there is a clause in the purchase agreement allowing the Adelson and Dumont families to

Like it’s stressful,” Wright said, a resident at The Bonnie.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s been more than 40 days since they had gas. The complex on East 8th Street has been without service since that deadly explosion at a neighboring complex, The Klein.\n\n\n\n“There’s not much communication from the office. Like, they just tell us that they’re working on it. The managers, the owners, and I’ve sent out several emails. I get no response,” Wright said.\n\n\n\nThe Austin Street Center echoed her sentiment.\n\n\n\n“Essentially what we need is just a list from the property owner of the bonding to tell us who’s in his building, and then we’re happy to reach out to them and see what assistance we can provide,” Daniel Roby, CEO of Austin Street Center, said.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe center said a lack of documentation from the property owner can hinder a fair and accurate distribution of services.\n\n\n\n“That is one thing I don’t think people fully understand is that providing support for people requires financial resources, but it also means removing roadblocks that are in the way. Everyone’s got to work together. In this case, I think we need cooperation from that landowner,” Roby said.\n\n\n\nOnce again, NBC 5 reached out to the landowner and the company that manages the property. Our calls have gone unanswered. \n\n\n\nIn a recent statement, Atmos Energy said a gas line not owned by Atmos requires repair before service is restored. The statement goes on to say, in part, “natural gas service to the property will be restored only after repairs to the non-Atmos energy line are made, city inspections and permits are complete, and Atmos can conduct a successful pressure test of the property’s repaired line.”\n\n\n\nA wrongful death lawsuit alleges Atmos’ negligence led to the explosion, claiming they failed to mark gas lines before the catastrophic blast. NBC 5 asked Atmos about the specific allegations outlined in the lawsuit. A spokesperson provided a previously released statement that did not mention AI locating services. \n\n\n\n“As party to NTSB’s investigation of the incident, Atmos Energy is limited in what it can say about the matter. This is common practice with NTSB and applies to all parties involved,” Atmos Energy said in a statement.\n\n\n\nThe NTSB’s preliminary report also did not mention AI locating services.\n\n\n\n\n\nWright said she has received letters from the leasing office about other maintenance projects and rent. \n\n\n\n“If we have no water, no hot water and no gas, like how was that even fair for you to expect us to pay you?” Wright asked.\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/nonprofit-and-victims-of-oak-cliff-apartment-explosion-face-obstacles-a-month-later/4046979/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Candace Sweat and Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-07-09T07:31:08.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2F49479182859-1080pnbcstations.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"nonprofit-and-victims-of-oak-cliff-apartment-explosion-face-obstacles-a-month-later"},{"id":"4eob3i","title":"Dallas libraries to close for city furlough days","excerpt":"The City of Dallas has announced it must close a $30M budget shortfall.

He has since been transferred to the Collin County jail where he remained Thursday night.\n\n\n\nPolice said the investigation began after an eight-year-old student, who is in the second grade, made an outcry to family members on July 4. According to an arrest affidavit released Thursday, the student told her sisters about the alleged abuse. They, in turn, told a parent who notified police. The affidavit states the girl reported that, “Campbell would call girls over behind his desk and touch their private parts.”The affidavit says a second eight-year-old girl independently described being touched inappropriately by Campbell more than once.\n\n\n\nAfter interviewing the children, police obtained an arrest warrant and took Campbell into custody without incident.\n\n\n\nJerry Minton with the Plano Police Department said Campbell was arrested after arriving at a meeting at the Plano ISD administration building.\n\n\n\n“There was a meeting at the Plano admin building this AM and when he showed up he was arrested in the parking lot when he got out of his car,” said Minton.\n\n\n\nPolice allege the abuse occurred during the 2025-26 school year at Brinker Elementary.\n\n\n\nInvestigators are now working to determine whether there are additional victims. Because Campbell spent decades teaching elementary school students, detectives said some people with information may now be adults.\n\n\n\n“Even if you’re over 18, 20, 30 years old, with him being there for so long and he taught in an elementary school, if you had any experience that was uncomfortable with Mr. Campbell, then come forward and let us know,” Minton said.\n\n\n\nThe arrest has left many parents in the Brinker Elementary community in shock.\n\n\n\nMelissa Borovay, whose oldest child was tutored by Campbell and whose three children attended Brinker Elementary, said she was devastated when she learned of the arrest.\n\n\n\n“It hit hard. Made you feel sick,” Borovay said.\n\n\n\nBorovay said Campbell was a familiar presence at school events and had always appeared to have positive relationships with students.\n\n\n\n“If there’s an event at Brinker, he’s present with a smile. Always had a good relationship with the kids, and so it hits you with total shock and disbelief,” Borovay said.\n\n\n\nShe said the allegations have shaken the trust that has long defined the school community.\n\n\n\n“It’s close to home. It’s in our home, and it’s hard to swallow,” Borovay said.During an emergency meeting called by the Plano ISD on Thursday night, board members voted to begin the process of firing Campbell. \n\n\n\nTrustees voted unanimously to send Campbell notice of proposed termination for good cause at the end of the meeting, which, without naming Campbell, cited on its agenda, “egregious and unlawful allegations of misconduct that jeopardize student safety.”“This action is necessary to ensure appropriate action is taken prior to the return of teachers and staff from summer break and to maintain the health and safety of students,” PISD Superintendent Dr. Theresa Williams said during the meeting.NBC 5 has been unable to reach anyone for comment on Campbell’s behalf.TEA records show his educator certificate is currently under review by the TEA Educator Investigations Division.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

Atmos is grossly negligent,” Lyon said.\n\n\n\nThe lawsuit accuses the natural gas distributor of failing to properly mark gas lines and respond to gas leaks reported in or around the Clyde Apartments before the deadly explosion.\n\n\n\nAccording to the lawsuit, gas built up until May 28, when contractors who had called 811 before digging struck an unmarked gas service line, resulting in what the lawsuit describes as a catastrophic explosion.\n\n\n\nThe lawsuit also claims that Atmos uses an artificial intelligence locating service called KorTerra, which provides the company with mapping and geographic data to generate remote line-locating instructions.\n\n\n\n“Atmos is responsible for notifying the AI company where their line is. The problem is they don’t know where their lines are. And they have leaking gas. They had leaking gas emergencies in this area for months and didn’t warn the residents,” Lyon said.\n\n\n\nLyon also alleged the company’s actions went beyond negligence.\n\n\n\n“We believe they rise to criminal intent. We believe that this is negligent homicide,” Lyon said.\n\n\n\nIn addition, the lawsuit accuses Atmos of “habitually mismarking its gas facilities in this area.”\n\n\n\nThe National Transportation Safety Board’s preliminary findings cited that the gas line struck on May 28 had not been marked.\n\n\n\nNBC 5 asked Atmos Energy about the specific allegations outlined in the lawsuit.

Investigators said Padilla then drove forward, nearly hitting the victim before circling the parking lot.\n\n\n\nThe report states surveillance video shows Padilla rapidly accelerating toward the victim, striking him with the front of the vehicle. Police said the victim landed on the hood and windshield of the vehicle until Padilla made a sharp turn, throwing the victim on the pavement. \n\n\n\nPadilla was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Wylie Police said detectives expect to upgrade the charges as the investigation continues. Investigators obtained an upgraded charge for murder against Padilla as of Saturday, July 11. Padilla remains in the Collin County jail at this time.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/arrest-report-19-year-old-accused-of-intentionally-hitting-man-with-vehicle-in-wylie/4046596/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Sara Sanchez","publishDate":"2026-07-08T14:04:47.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FFEAT-IMG-WYLIE-ATTACK-MAYBE.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"affidavit-details-alleged-deadly-intentional-vehicle-attack-in-wylie"},{"id":"4vb7di","title":"North Carolina man broke into ex's home, fatally stabbed his 5-year-old son before going to Taco Bell: police","excerpt":"A North Carolina man allegedly kicked down his ex-girlfriend's apartment door and fatally stabbed his 5-year-old son before leaving and heading to Taco Bell.","content":"A North Carolina man allegedly kicked down his ex-girlfriend's apartment door and fatally stabbed his 5-year-old son before leaving and heading to Taco Bell.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/north-carolina-man-fatally-stabbed-son-before-going-taco-bell","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","publishDate":"2026-07-11T17:43:53.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.livenowfox.com%2Fwww.livenowfox.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fecholes-nc-suspect-child-murder.jpeg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"north-carolina-man-broke-into-exs-home-fatally-stabbed-his-5-year-old-son-before-going-to-taco-bell-"},{"id":"lrzq5p","title":"Tributes pour in for South African midfielder who died after World Cup appearance","excerpt":"The soccer community is remembering Jayden Adams, a midfielder for Team South Africa, who died shortly after his last appearance in the World Cup, the country’s sports ministry ⁠announced on July 11.\n\n\n\nAdams, 25, last played in the FIFA tournament on June 24 in a match against South Korea.

The circumstances surrounding his death are currently under investigation, a Western Cape police spokesperson told the Agence France-Presse.\n\n\n\nThe news has come as a shock to those in the soccer world, who have been sending their thoughts to Adams’ family.\n\n\n\n“South African football has lost one of its brightest young talents, and our nation mourns alongside his family, his teammates and the millions of supporters who watched him grow from a promising academy prospect into a full Bafana Bafana international,” Gayton McKenzie, South Africa’s sports minister, said in a statement.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe South African Football Players Union described Adams’ death in a statement as an “immeasurable loss to his family, teammates, clubs, the football fraternity and country at large.”\n\n\n\n“Jayden had only recently represented South Africa at the 2026 World Cup, carrying the hopes of the nation with pride, courage, and distinction,” the statement said of the player before referencing a number of teams for which he had played. “We extend our deepest condolences to the Adams family, Mamelodi Sundowns, Stellenbosch FC, Bafana Bafana and all those whose lives he touched.”\n\n\n\nIn a post on social media, the union added that “Death has cruelly stolen one of our own.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“It has robbed our nation of a remarkable footballer, but it will never take away the legacy Jayden Adams leaves behind,” the union said in the post.\n\n\n\nAdams, the father of a young daughter Allaia-Jayda, appeared in three 2026 World Cup matches. While he started in the matches against Mexico and the Czech Republic, he came off the bench in the country’s 1-0 win over South Korea. The win marked the first time that South Africa advanced to the knockout rounds. The country was eliminated from the tournament on June 28 following a 0-1 loss to Canada.\n\n\n\nAdams was also a member of the South African professional soccer team the Mamelodi Sundowns F.C. In a statement following Adams’ death, the Mamelodi Sundowns called the player a “highly talented” midfielder.\n\n\n\n“We pray that the Almighty God comforts and strengthens the Adams family, his friends and everyone that knew him,” the statement said. “Sundowns respectfully ask that the family’s privacy be honoured as they grieve this profound loss.”\n\n\n\nMany others also paid tribute to the rising soccer star. The Confederation of African Football, the governing body for association soccer and several other sports in Africa, posted on social media that “football has lost one of its own.”\n\n\n\nFIFA President Gianni Infantino also honored the player with a statement shared on social media.\n\n\n\n“It’s so incredibly sad to hear that South Africa midfielder Jayden Adams has passed away just weeks after featuring in his nation’s historic World Cup campaign,” Infantino said in the statement. “My thoughts and condolences, as well as those of everyone at Fifa and the global football community, are with his family, friends and teammates. The Bafana Bafana and Mamelodi Sundowns star will be sorely missed. May he rest in peace.”\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

Ro Khanna said Saturday that he was detained by settlers and the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank and released only after calls to the American Embassy in Jerusalem. The Israeli Defense Forces denied detaining any visitors in the incident, the latest example of escalating political tensions involving Israel and its ally’s Democratic Party.\n\n\n\nA representative for Khanna, a California Democrat who is an outspoken progressive, said the confrontation occurred Wednesday in the middle of a three-day tour of the West Bank. As the congressman visited a Palestinian village that had been abandoned after settler attacks, masked men with guns stopped his group and refused to let them leave.\n\n\n\nThe New York Times said the incident was witnessed by one of its photographers. Khanna’s office said it occurred in the town of Khirbet Zanuta.\n\n\n\nKhanna said that when Israeli soldiers arrived he was dispirited to see them interact in a friendly manner with their captors and also block the exit for the congressman’s party. Not until the U.S. Embassy and Israeli police were called was Khanna’s group allowed to proceed.\n\n\n\n“If this can happen to an American member of Congress, imagine what life is like for Palestinians who have no smartphones, no security, and no national platform,” Khanna, who is exploring a presidential bid in 2028, said in a fundraising email he sent out shortly after his post Saturday about the incident.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tterrorism\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 30\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNY woman allegedly sent over $30K to help fund militant group's attacks on Israel\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWar with Iran\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 21\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSen.

This week, former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, whose father was born in Jerusalem and fought in Israel’s war of independence, gave a blistering speech last week in Tel Aviv in which he said Israel has become a “territorial pariah.” Emanuel also is a potential White House contender.\n\n\n\nIn a recent survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, about 58% of Democrats said the U.S. is “too supportive” of Israelis.\n\n\n\nAlso Saturday, the Israeli military said it detained four suspects who were attacking foreign journalists traveling to Sinjil, another West Bank community. The assailants blocked the journalists’ vehicle and damaged it and were armed with clubs and knives, according to the military’s statement.\n\n\n\nCNN reported that it had a team among the journalists who were attacked. The network said the journalists were there to cover the one-year anniversary of the killing of a Palestinian-American man who was beaten to death by Israeli settlers.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/democratic-congressman-says-detained-israeli-military-settlers-west-bank/4048099/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) -

In spring 2025, he added a note at the top of his restaurant’s digital menu.\n\n\n\nIt reads: “Please control your children. Chez Xue is a family-friendly restaurant. However, we are not a playground. Please ensure children REMAIN SEATED at all times and respectful of fellow guests and the dining environment. Running around, shouting, making noise with utensils, etc. WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!”\n\n\n\nRecently posted on X, the note went viral and garnered thousands of comments and lots of media attention.\n\n\n\nThough the policy may look harsh in print, Xue, who does not have children of his own, tells TODAY.com, “This is not an anti-child campaign.” In fact, he points out that the restaurant has plenty of high chairs and caters to big families. Xue’s issue, he says, is “parents who don’t do their jobs.”\n\n\n\nHe explains, “We’re not confronting children at the restaurant about their behavior. We’re not banning children. We’re not discriminating against children.” Xue also wouldn’t chastise a parent actively trying to corral their misbehaving child. Rather, it’s the parents who don’t pay attention that infuriate him.\n\n\n\nThe cost of misbehavior\n\n\n\nXue, who also owns a Michelin-recognized restaurant named wonderful, gives examples of problematic behavior, like parents ignoring children while they’re screaming or banging their utensils on the table repeatedly.\n\n\n\n“I think it’s the responsibility of the parents to turn to their child and say, ‘Hey, we don’t do that here.’ And to be honest, if children don’t stop their disruptive behavior, it’s actually the parents’ responsibility to take them outside the restaurant,” Xue says. Once they take the time to calm down, they can return to the table.\n\n\n\nThe difference in Xue’s approach, he says, is that he has proactively decided how to handle problematic situations.\n\n\n\n“My servers are all trained to take the appropriate action to protect the restaurant environment,” he says, noting that he tells them to be “firm and professional” with parents. He also tells servers that he is “always at their disposal” if they need backup.\n\n\n\n“The last thing they want to think about is how to run a daycare,” he says of his waitstaff.\n\n\n\nXue points out that misbehavior can be a safety issue, like when a child runs in front of a server carrying hot soup. It can also cause physical damage.\n\n\n\nHis website lists the cost of items that were damaged by children and billed to their parents:\n\n\n\n\nApril 2025: a shattered credit card machine cost $327.03\n\n\n\nDecember 2025: child-led table carving cost parents $109.38\n\n\n\nJanuary 2026: a smashed teacup cost $5.47\n\n\n\n\n“We’re not in the business of making people break things and buy them,” Xue says about administering fines to parents. “But anything that breaks comes straight out of my pocket … We want to show customers who might have doubts about our policy that we mean business.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReaction to the policy\n\n\n\nThough internet reactions to the policy is divided, Xue says that his patrons have generally reacted positively, and frequent diners are especially grateful.\n\n\n\nThe amount of incidents “has just basically gone to zero,” says Xue.\n\n\n\nThough he says he may be the only person “bold” enough to add a parenting policy to the menu, Xue is thrilled that he is “sparking a dialogue that may end up helping other restaurants that have been facing tough times in a post-COVID world.\n\n\n\nParents allowing their kids to “trash” a restaurant “just feels so insulting, it feels so disrespectful,” Xue says. “Maybe I’m taking it too personally, but at the end of the day, this is my baby. I’m trying to run a restaurant.”\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

He was 25.\n\n\n\nHis death was confirmed by Gayton McKenzie, South Africa’s minister of sport, arts and culture, in a statement on Saturday.\n\n\n\n“It is with profound shock and a heavy heart that I have learnt of the passing of Jayden Adams, midfielder for Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana, at the age of 25,” McKenzie posted on X.\n\n\n\n“South African football has lost one of its brightest young talents, and our nation mourns alongside his family, his team-mates and the millions of supporters.”\n\n\n\nAdams helped South Africa reach the World Cup knockout stage for the first time.\n\n\n\nFurther details of his death were not given.\n\n\n\n“The cause of Jayden’s passing has not yet been confirmed,” McKenzie said. “I wish to appeal to members of the media and the public to exercise restraint and compassion, and to refrain from speculation.”\n\n\n\nA moment of silence in honor of Adams was held ahead of the World Cup quarterfinal between Norway and England in Miami Gardens, Florida, on Saturday.\n\n\n\nAdams started South Africa’s first Group A game against the Czech Republic and was substituted at halftime. McKenzie said he played that game only hours after learning that his grandmother had died.\n\n\n\nAdams played several seasons for Stellenbosch before joining Mamelodi Sundowns last year. He helped the club win the CAF (African) Champions League this year.\n\n\n\n“Death has cruelly stolen one of our own.

It ran from January 1972 until May 1977. There were also made-for-television movies that aired until 1979.\n\n\n\nA spokesman for the Los Angeles County Fire Department said Friday that Mantooth will be remembered as a part of the legacy of the department and firefighters everywhere.\n\n\n\n“Randolph Mantooth was the face of the Los Angeles County Fire Department for an entire generation. Talk to any fire buff of a certain age, and Johnny Gage riding Squad 51 is the stuff of legend,” Los Angeles County Fire Capt. Aaron Katon said.\n\n\n\nMantooth was born in Sacramento, California, on Sept. 19, 1945. He earned a scholarship to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, his family said.\n\n\n\nHe appeared in the 2003 off-Broadway show “Rain Dance,” a play by Lanford Wilson, which also featured actor James Van Der Beek. \n\n\n\nMantooth was of Seminole descent, according to IMDB. He played a military police officer and former Native American dancer in the production, which profiles people on the night before the testing of the atomic bomb in New Mexico, Backstage reported at the time.\n\n\n\nWhile known for the television show, “Randy remained devoted to theater throughout his career,” his family said.\n\n\n\n“Beyond acting, Randy’s bond with the emergency services community became one of the most meaningful parts of his life,” Mantooth’s family said in the statement. “He dedicated himself to honoring firefighters and paramedics ensuring that their courage, sacrifice, and humanity were recognized.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/randolph-mantooth-medic-nbc-emergency-dies-at-80/4048056/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Bill Feather and Phil Helsel | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-10T23:36:05.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Frandolph-mantooth.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3000%2C1692","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"randolph-mantooth-who-played-medic-in-nbcs-emergency-dies-at-80"},{"id":"o3znfp","title":"Fort Worth City Council calls for pause on data centers","excerpt":"Residents of Fort Worth have been pushing back against data center construction this week, and now several Fort Worth City Council members are joining them.

Kelly granted the motion to dismiss the convictions against Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola with prejudice, meaning the case is permanently closed.\n\n\n\nKelly, who was appointed by Trump in 2017, wrote that while the federal government can request that a case be vacated, he did not approve of the administration’s move here.\n\n\n\n“Because the decisions to issue the Executive Order and to abandon this prosecution—even after the Government secured convictions for serious crimes relating to the attack on the Capitol on January 6—are solely the Executive’s, no one should mistake the Court’s granting of the Government’s motion for its agreement with those decisions,” he wrote.\n\n\n\nKelly indicated that he could not sustain the case once the Justice Department declined to maintain its prosecution of the defendants.\n\n\n\n“Indeed, it is hard to see how any course other than granting the motion in full could make practical sense,” he wrote. “Denying the motion would not somehow revive the convictions that the Court of Appeals vacated.

Those 14 sentences were reduced to time served but were not dismissed outright by the courts.\n\n\n\nNordean, Biggs, Rehl and Pezzola were among the 14 whose sentences were commuted by Trump. The four men were all convicted in 2023 of numerous felony charges, and all but Pezzola were convicted of seditious conspiracy.\n\n\n\nThe Justice Department in April requested to dismiss the case, saying it would end “these years-long, Biden-era weaponized prosecutions.”\n\n\n\nKelly wrote that there is “little mystery” to why the Justice Department sought to vacate the convictions.\n\n\n\n“President Trump’s views about the prosecution of those who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6—whether those views are based on fact or fiction—are well known, as is his intention to extend clemency to them through the Executive Order,” Kelly wrote. “The Government’s request to dismiss this case is consistent with that general approach.”\n\n\n\nRehl, who was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison in 2023, celebrated the ruling Friday in a post on X, writing “Finally, it’s ALL OVER!\n\n\n\n“January 6th can now be a thing of the past for me!” he added.\n\n\n\nPezzola, who was seen on video smashing a window at the Capitol, received the shortest sentence of the group at 10 years in federal prison.\n\n\n\nNordean was sentenced to 18 years in federal prison and was described by prosecutors as having “played a central role in unleashing the violence and destruction at the U.S. Capitol.” Prosecutors said Biggs, who was sentenced to 17 years in federal prison, was serving “as an instigator and leader” during the attack.\n\n\n\nEnrique Tarrio, who was on trial alongside the four men, congratulated them after Friday’s ruling.\n\n\n\n“The seditious conspiracy hoax and the whole rigged indictment against me, Ethan Nordean, Joe Biggs, Zach Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola has been VACATED!!!” Tarrio wrote in a post on X. “Trump dropped the pardons and now the rest is crumbling.

The statement said a temporary pause would allow for the development of regulations that better balance economic development with neighborhood impacts, water use, infrastructure demands and other community concerns.\n\n\n\nCity Council is expected to consider the proposed zoning rules at an upcoming meeting on Aug 11.\n\n\n\nThe zoning commission is discussing proposed regulations introduced in June that seek to balance the economic benefits with public concern.\n\n\n\nProposed zoning amendments aim to use the city’s regulatory authority to help create standards specifically for data centers that include:\n\n\n\n\nMinimum 250-foot setbacks from residential districts.\n\n\n\nLandscaping and screening requirements for facilities next to residential neighborhoods.\n\n\n\nBanning standby generators within 300 feet of homes and requiring permanent screening.\n\n\n\nRequiring acoustic barriers for rooftop cooling equipment.\n\n\n\nLimits on lighting near residential neighborhoods.\n\n\n\n\nThe proposal would also update city rules governing noise, water use and economic development incentives for data centers.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCommissioners are also considering limiting new data centers to industrial zoning districts and reclassifying cryptocurrency mining to allow increasing regulation following concerns over noise and resource consumption.\n\n\n\nCity officials say data centers generated more than $83 million in gross property tax revenue over the past five years, according to a June presentation. Proposed policy changes would also tighten criteria for economic development incentives.\n\n\n\nFort Worth’s proposed regulations come as Texas experiences rapid growth in data center development.\n\n\n\n ERCOT, which manages most of the state’s electric grid, estimates that requests from large power users could quadruple Texas’ electricity demand over the next decade. A February 2026 ERCOT report said it is tracking about 410 gigawatts of large load requests, with roughly 87% of those requests coming from data centers.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe rapid expansion has also drawn attention from state leaders. Gov. Greg Abbott has identified data center regulation as a priority for the 2027 legislative session.\n\n\n\nAbbott has earmarked regulation of data centers as a priority in the 2027 legislative session. In a letter to state regulators in June, Abbott asked the heads of the Public Utility Commission and ERCOT to ensure data centers shoulder the cost of industry growth, rather than passing it along to Texans.\n\n\n\nProposed laws would require the use of water-efficient technology, mandate reporting for electric and water usage, ensure data centers lower electric costs for consumers, and repeal sales tax exemptions and incentives. \n\n\n\nFort Worth’s debate reflects a broader discussion taking place across Texas as communities weigh the economic benefits of data centers against concerns about electricity demand, water use and impacts on nearby neighborhoods. According to ERCOT, the grid operator is tracking about 410 gigawatts of large-load requests, with roughly 87% tied to proposed data centers.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tData center growth and pushback\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGreg Abbott\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 1\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGov.

Langford and Jake Burger homered in a four-run eighth inning as the Texas Rangers beat the Houston Astros 7-3 on Friday night.\n\n\n\nLangford’s leadoff homer and Burger’s three-run shot came off Bryan King (2-2) after the Astros had rallied from an early 3-0 deficit to tie the score in the seventh inning. Houston’s rally included Yordan Alvarez’s 200th career home run, his 30th of the season.\n\n\n\nLangford hit a walk-off homer on Thursday night in a 7-6 win over the Los Angeles Angels hours after being reinstated from the injured list.\n\n\n\nCole Winn (5-2) retired all four batters he faced in the seventh and eighth innings for his second win in two nights.\n\n\n\nThe Rangers (48-46) lead the AL West by 1½ games over Seattle (47-48) and three games over the Astros (46-50). Houston has lost three of its last four games.\n\n\n\nThe Rangers took a 2-0 lead on Hunter Brown in the first inning and made it 3-0 in the fifth on Joc Pederson’s home run.\n\n\n\nAlvarez’s 455-foot shot to right field leading off the sixth was his sixth in five games at Globe Life Field this season and 18th in 35 career regular-season games at the park.\n\n\n\nTexas starter Cal Quantrill allowed the one run on Alvarez’s homer, one of five hits, and walked one in a season-high six innings making his fourth consecutive start following 15 relief appearances. His 79 pitches were also a season high.\n\n\n\nHouston tied the score at 3 in the seventh on Yainer Diaz’s two-run homer off Chris Martin.\n\n\n\nBrown gave up three runs in six innings. The 2025 All-Star made his fifth start after missing 2½ months with a strained shoulder and matched a career high with five walks to go with four hits.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/red-fever/wyatt-langford-stays-hot-as-rangers-pull-away-from-astros/4048036/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-10T21:57:11.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2284958280.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4201%2C2716","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"rangers-break-late-tie-with-langford-and-burger-home-runs"},{"id":"b95rxh","title":"2026 FIFA World Cup Quarterfinal: France-Morocco is 2022 Semifinal Rematch","excerpt":"The 2026 FIFA World Cup has moved into the quarterfinals, and it kicks off with France-Morocco at Boston Stadium at 3 p.m. It’s a rematch of the 2022 Qatar World Cup Semifinals.

France won that game 2-0 before eventually falling to Argentina in their bid to repeat as champions. France and Argentina could be on a collision course for a Final rematch.\n\n\n\nFrance is seeking to join Brazil and Germany as the only countries to appear in three consecutive finals. Morocco was already the most successful African nation at the World Cup thanks to their 2022 semifinal appearance; they’re looking to equal, if not better, that result.\n\n\n\n\n\nFrance has several players on yellow cards thanks to a physical 1-0 win over Paraguay. Those players would be ineligible for the semifinal if they pick up another card. If they do not, cards will reset next round. That Paraguay match has led to a war of words between French captain Kylian Mbappe and a Paraguayan senator. \n\n\n\n\n\nFrance has scored at least three goals in every game except against Paraguay. Their attack is led by Mbappe, who is chasing Lionel Messi in the Golden Boot Race for most goals. Mbappe has 7; Messi has 8.\n\n\n\n\n\nMorocco played five-time champion Brazil to a draw to open the tournament and have not lost since. They’ve won on penalties against the Netherlands and routed Canada 3-0 in Houston.\n\n\n\nFrance is the favorite to win the tournament. Morocco is not a long shot, but would be the first new champion since Spain in 2010.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe winner of France-Morocco will take on the winner of Spain-Belgium in the Dallas Stadium semifinal on Tuesday, July 14 at 2 p.m. That’s the final game in Texas.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/2026-fifa-world-cup-quarterfinal-france-morocco-is-2022-semifinal-rematch/4046996/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-07-09T08:11:49.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2022%2F12%2FGettyImages-1245609636.jpeg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4282%2C2854","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"2026-fifa-world-cup-quarterfinal-france-morocco-is-2022-semifinal-rematch"},{"id":"m7la1y","title":"Texas reports rise in cyclospora cases as foodborne illness spreads nationwide","excerpt":"Texas has reported 48 cases of Cyclospora, a foodborne illness caused by a parasite that health experts say can lead to severe gastrointestinal symptoms.\n\n\n\nDr. David Winter, an internal medicine physician with Baylor Scott & White, said cyclospora infections typically increase during the summer....","content":"Texas has reported 48 cases of Cyclospora, a foodborne illness caused by a parasite that health experts say can lead to severe gastrointestinal symptoms.\n\n\n\nDr. David Winter, an internal medicine physician with Baylor Scott & White, said cyclospora infections typically increase during the summer. However, he said the current increase affecting several states could become the worst in years.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt least 20 people nationwide have been hospitalized with symptoms that can last for weeks.\n\n\n\n“It’s really bad disease right now and sometimes you get in your intestines and that gives you these horrible cramps and gurgling and then diarrhea. In fact, the diarrhea is so bad, they call it explosive diarrhea,” Winter said.\n\n\n\nCyclospora is caused by a parasite rather than a virus or bacteria. Winter said the parasite multiplies inside the intestines, contributing to recurring symptoms.\n\n\n\n“It’s a parasite. It’s not a virus, it is not bacteria. So the parasite, once it gets in your intestine, it starts to multiply. And then when it builds up a certain amount, then it comes out with this explosion, and then it starts multiply again,” Winter said.\n\n\n\nThe illness spreads through food or water contaminated with infected feces and is rarely transmitted from person to person.\n\n\n\nThe source of the current outbreak is unknown. Previous outbreaks have been linked to fresh fruits and vegetables, including basil, cilantro, raspberries and snow peas.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoctors recommend thoroughly washing fresh produce before eating it to help reduce the risk of infection.\n\n\n\nFor many people, symptoms can be managed at home, and antibiotics are also effective, according to Winter.\n\n\n\nHe said patients with severe diarrhea should let their doctor know about their symptoms because many routine stool tests do not automatically screen for cyclospora.\n\n\n\n“Most stool tests in laboratories don’t look for this. So you want to be sure and tell your doctor, I’ve got this, quote, explosive diarrhea. I’m cramping, I feel like hell, I have all this fatigue,” Winter said.\n\n\n\nWhile the infection is uncommon, Winter said it can be especially difficult for those who become sick.\n\n\n\n“It’s rare, but boy when you get it, it is tough,” Winter said.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

On the pitch, there are stars like Argentina’s Lionel Messi, Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Norway’s Erling Haaland, among others.\n\n\n\nBut online, Bug the Brussels Griffon, Billy Heartnose and more pets are taking over soccer social media.\n\n\n\nThese pets have gone viral throughout the tournament for “predicting” the winners of each match, with varying results. Whether tapping a soccer ball topped with a country flag or pushing a tennis ball down a Plinko board, each animals’ casual play is being taken by fans as the ultimate sign of victory or defeat.\n\n\n\nBug, based in the United Kingdom, has over 55,000 followers and has become a celebrity for wearing his England jersey and choosing which team will be victorious in upcoming matches. In his videos, the Brussels Griffon stands in front of two mini soccer balls with flags representing each side of the match. Whichever ball he taps is interpreted as his projected winner.\n\n\n\n“He’s really clever,” the almost-2-year-old pup’s owner, who didn’t want to be named for privacy reasons, tells TODAY.com. “He’s just a really good boy, just a bit funny looking.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBug previously predicted the English Football League Cup, but his owner decided to jump in on the World Cup action. Bug’s first tournament video, which was published on June 11, has over 205,000 views and 11,000 likes.\n\n\n\n“He did really well with it. He’s getting them all right,” she says, adding that as of July 8, he’s “only got maybe three wrong. So I feel like that’s pretty good.”\n\n\n\nAmong Bug’s most popular videos is the match up between England and Croatia, with over 782,000 views. (That matchup occurred June 17, and England won 4-2.)\n\n\n\nIt’s safe to say that Bug is rooting for Team England.\n\n\n\n“He’s a patriot,” his owner says. “He loves the squad. I think we’ve got the best chance.”\n\n\n\nThen, there is Billy Heartnose, an adorable tuxedo cat from Ireland, whose owners place flags of the countries competing in front of him, and he taps which one will win.\n\n\n\nHe has about an 80% success rate, his owner Linka Lin tells TODAY.com. “It’s a decrease from his early days, but we’re still very happy.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBilly, who will turn 2 in August, is now invested in the World Cup, and it’s become part of his daily routine.\n\n\n\n“In the afternoon, he comes to me and starts meowing and shouting, as if, ‘Oh, it’s time. Let’s record a video,’” Lin says, adding that Billy “does things that benefit him. He actually wants the treat as a reward, which is reasonable.”\n\n\n\nLin and her husband, Mark Kelly, have been “very touched” by people’s reactions and their support. It’s especially heartwarming when commenters encourage Billy when he’s on a losing streak.\n\n\n\n“A lot of people would come and cheer him up, ask him not to give up,” Lin says, adding that even when people get rude, the true fans will defend Billy.\n\n\n\nElfi, a 2-year-old miniature dachshund from Austria, predicts winners with a custom-made Plinko board that her 21-year-old owner, Oskar Neumann, built. Set up on a couch, she pushes a large tennis ball down the board with the flags of the two countries playing on opposite sides.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNeumann tells TODAY.com that Elfi gets “very excited” when she sees him setting up her prediction board. “She’s very happy and she goes to her place to do the predictions,” he says. “She knows exactly what time it is when I pull out the board and she’s always happy to do this.”\n\n\n\nElfi is new to the social media prediction game, with, as of publication time, 14 videos and over 22,000 followers. She has a 76% success rate, Neumann estimates as of July 10.\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to 4-year-old Simba, or @simbawiththethumbs, he’s been in the game for a couple years, predicting NFL, NHL and NBA games. Simba has gotten used to the routine of heading to his mat and tapping the bell of the team he believes will be the winner.\n\n\n\n“He was treat motivated enough to learn how to sit right away, follow my finger, follow a pointer, and then eventually he rang a bell,” owner Jeff Horste says of his furry friend. “He wants to do this every day.”\n\n\n\nYet it wasn’t until the World Cup that people started engaging more with Simba’s profile, hoping he would choose their team. People rooting for Mexico became one of Simba’s biggest supporters after he successfully chose the country as the winner three times in a row.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“It got us into (soccer),” Horste says. “And between my girlfriend being Mexican and Simba just picking Mexico on his own, we started to get a lot more of a following on TikTok and Instagram, and we’ve just been riding all of that support as long as we can.”\n\n\n\nHis owner says ever since Mexico lost, “He’s in a little bit of a down streak,” adding that as of July 8, “he’s just trying to pick all of the upsets that he wants everybody to lose. He’s 20 and 13 overall.”\n\n\n\nThe World Cup quarterfinals are now well underway, meaning the pressure’s on for these pets.

The federal bill, supported by Trump, aims to permanently end the semiannual changing of clocks and establish daylight saving time as the national standard. \n\n\n\nWhile the U.S. Senate voted unanimously in March 2022 to make daylight saving time permanent, the measure stalled in the House due to opposition. The proposal the House will consider next week would allow states ​to opt out.\n\n\n\nDaylight saving time — setting the clocks forward one hour during ⁠the summer half of the year — has been in place in nearly all of the ​United States since the 1960s. With the exception of Arizona and Hawaii, most states observe daylight saving time. \n\n\n\nSpringing one hour ahead, however, is “not good for brain health,” according to experts. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the American Medical Association and the National Sleep Foundation have all called for yearround standard time, which they say aligns the body with natural daylight.\n\n\n\nEven though polls show most Americans dislike changing their clocks twice a year, the political moves necessary to change the system haven’t succeeded, as opinions on the issue and its potential impacts remain sharply divided.\n\n\n\nSupporters of the Sunshine Protection Act say the time shift causes sleep ​disturbances, greater workplace injuries and more car crashes. They also believe brighter evenings would encourage more economic activity during winter.\n\n\n\nPresident Donald Trump has pushed for an end to time changes, writing in an April TruthSocial post that staying on daylight saving time would be “Very popular and, most importantly, no more changing of the clocks, a big inconvenience and, for our government, A VERY COSTLY EVENT!!!”\n\n\n\nShould the Act pass the House, it would face opposition from U.S. Senator Tom Cotton, an Arkansas Republican, and others.\n\n\n\nCotton has said the measure would result in “absurdly late” winter sunrises and force children to “walk to school in the pitch black” in much ​of the country.\n\n\n\nRepresentative Vern ​Buchanan, a Florida ⁠Republican who has put forward the bill regularly since 2018, proposed it again this year. The plan is popular in the lawmaker’s home ​state because it would allow more evening hours to play on ​golf courses ⁠and sports fields.\n\n\n\nRepresentative Frank Pallone, a New Jersey Democrat, said permanent daylight saving time would improve safety and boost the state’s tourism industry. \n\n\n\nThe ⁠United ​States used year-round daylight saving time during World War ​Two. It was reenacted by President Richard Nixon in 1974 to reduce energy use following the country’s oil crisis. But that stint proved unpopular and brief — it was repealed by Congress later that year.\n\n\n\nMaking daylight saving time permanent would mean the sun rises around 9 a.m. in Detroit for a while during the winter. Staying on standard time year round means the sun would be up at 4:11 a.m. in Seattle in June.\n\n\n\nJay Pea, president of Save Standard Time, an organization devoted to switching to standard time for good, weighed in on the longlasting time change debate, saying, “There’s no law we can pass to move the sun to our will.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/house-vote-daylight-saving-permanent-bill/4047901/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Katharine Lee","publishDate":"2026-07-10T16:06:45.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FU.S.-Capitol-Building-Exterior-2283909734-Getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5170%2C3447","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"us-house-to-vote-on-bill-making-daylight-saving-time-permanent"},{"id":"ev7oza","title":"Arlington celebrates record tourism, global spotlight as World Cup nears finale","excerpt":"Arlington is one match away from wrapping up its role as a host city for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with next week’s semifinal marking the final match in the city.\n\n\n\nAs the tournament winds down locally, Arlington leaders say the event has already delivered historic economic results, strengthened ...","content":"Arlington is one match away from wrapping up its role as a host city for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with next week’s semifinal marking the final match in the city.\n\n\n\nAs the tournament winds down locally, Arlington leaders say the event has already delivered historic economic results, strengthened international relationships and positioned the city for future opportunities.\n\n\n\n\n\nMayor Jim Ross has attended every World Cup match at Dallas Stadium so far, meeting with diplomats and dignitaries from each visiting country.\n\n\n\n“Lord, I don’t even know where to start,” Ross said.\n\n\n\nRoss said those meetings have included conversations with world leaders, including the king of Jordan, which he believes could lead to long-term business partnerships.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“When the king asks to meet you and visit with you, you say, ‘Absolutely, yes!'” Ross said.\n\n\n\n“For Arlington, that’s special. We’re the most diverse city in all of Texas. We’re third most diverse in the country. So that diversity really is our heart and soul,” Ross said.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe mayor also said June was a record-setting month for the city’s hospitality industry.\n\n\n\n“This June, we had over 31 million dollars in hotel revenue,” Ross said. “That’s not including restaurants, retail shops, and everybody.”\n\n\n\nRoss said the city also received praise from FIFA President Gianni Infantino during the tournament.\n\n\n\n“And he introduced me, and he goes, ‘This is the mayor that has the city with the best stadium in the world,'” Ross said. “Now I hope I don’t get him in trouble for sharing that. Maybe he tells every mayor that, I don’t know. But I was bursting at the seams with pride.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLooking ahead, Ross said Arlington plans to pursue additional opportunities to host future FIFA events, including the FIFA Women’s World Cup.\n\n\n\n“You better believe that we’re gonna be putting forth a major effort to not only get the Women’s World Cup here, but to get the final of the Women’s World Cup here in Arlington,” Ross said.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

One is Tang Tan, who helped design the iPhone, Apple Watch and iPod and is now OpenAI’s chief hardware officer. The other is Chang Liu, a former electrical engineer Apple says it entrusted with some of its most sensitive product development efforts before Liu left Apple to join OpenAI earlier this year. \n\n\n\nOpenAI said it is still reviewing the filing, but spokesperson Drew Pusateri said in a statement Friday that OpenAI has “no interest in other companies’ trade secrets. We remain focused on building innovative technology that empowers people everywhere.”\n\n\n\nThe suit accuses OpenAI of seeking shortcuts on hardware\n\n\n\nOpenAI has never said exactly what type of device it is building, but has described it as an effort to find a new way to interact with AI that goes beyond “traditional products and interfaces.” It’s part of a broader push to create a physical embodiment of the latest AI advances, a decade after Amazon and Google introduced screen-free talking speakers into homes.\n\n\n\nThe lawsuit claims the effort was built partly on knowledge stolen from Apple. \n\n\n\n“OpenAI’s nascent hardware business now rests on the shakiest of foundations, rotten to its core by its illegal reliance on misappropriated trade secrets,” the lawsuit says.\n\n\n\nApple said it began investigating whether some of its confidential information was compromised and “uncovered a pattern of theft” of Apple’s trade secrets by former employees who moved on to positions at OpenAI.\n\n\n\nThe lawsuit alleges both Liu and Tan accessed Apple’s confidential company information and files while working at OpenAI. Among the allegations, Apple claims Liu accessed and downloaded several confidential hardware-related files on an Apple-issued device he kept after departing. It also alleges Tan directed job candidates who were still working for Apple to bring “Actual parts” from Apple to their interviews at OpenAI.\n\n\n\nApple said in the lawsuit that it reached out to OpenAI in February to raise its concerns early in its investigation, but said that OpenAI did not respond.\n\n\n\nAn Apple spokesperson said in a statement Friday that the company will “always defend our teams’ hard work and innovations, and we are taking all appropriate steps to do so.” \n\n\n\nA partnership with Apple has edged toward rivalry\n\n\n\nApple sought help from OpenAI several years ago as it was behind in the AI race sparked by ChatGPT’s arrival. The two companies partnered in 2024 to use ChatGPT as an AI-powered “answer engine” on the iPhone when the built-in Siri technology couldn’t satisfy user needs. More recently, the partnership has veered toward rivalry.\n\n\n\nAs part of its expansion efforts, OpenAI recruited former Apple designer Jony Ive to oversee a project to build an AI-powered device that many analysts believe could eventually challenge Apple’s products.\n\n\n\nLast year, OpenAI announced it was working on a secret hardware collaboration with Ive to pioneer a new way of communicating with artificial intelligence. As part of the collaboration, OpenAI acquired io Products, a product and engineering company co-founded by Ive, Tan and two others, in a deal valued at nearly $6.5 billion.\n\n\n\nThat led a little-known tech startup iyO Inc. to sue Ive and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman for trademark infringement due to the similar-sounding name and the firms’ past interactions. The startup also sued one of its own former employees for allegedly leaking a confidential drawing of iyO’s unreleased product, and it later added trade secret theft claims against Tan to the lawsuit.\n\n\n\nApple’s lawsuit also names io Products as a defendant. Lawyers who previously represented the firm and Tan referred The Associated Press to OpenAI for comment.\n\n\n\nApple’s lawsuit comes as OpenAI has been exploring whether to go public on Wall Street and faces heightened competition from rivals including Anthropic and Google.\n\n\n\nOpenAI winnowed down some of its business ventures earlier this year to focus on its core product, ChatGPT, but has continued to pursue a device, the company’s chief financial officer told The Associated Press this spring.\n\n\n\n“We have consumer hardware that will come towards the end of this year,” CFO Sarah Friar told the AP in April.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/apple-lawsuit-openai-trade-secrets/4048052/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Kaitlyn Huamani and Matt O'brien | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-10T16:03:22.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fimage_d1a9fa.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1500%2C846","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"apple-files-lawsuit-accusing-chatgpt-maker-openai-of-stealing-trade-secrets"},{"id":"nshm63","title":"Trump ousts members of bipartisan federal election commission","excerpt":"President Donald Trump has ousted members of a bipartisan federal election commission that resisted his efforts to require would-be voters to document their U.S. citizenship before registering.\n\n\n\nThe White House on Friday confirmed the executive action against members of the Election Assistance ...","content":"President Donald Trump has ousted members of a bipartisan federal election commission that resisted his efforts to require would-be voters to document their U.S. citizenship before registering.\n\n\n\nThe White House on Friday confirmed the executive action against members of the Election Assistance Commission, which distributes federal grants to states, oversees the testing of voting systems and maintains the national voter registration form.\n\n\n\nThough the move likely won’t have major effects on the November midterms, it’s the latest instance of the Republican president trying to exert White House influence over how U.S. elections are conducted, and it’s the first test of his newly expanded presidential power after the Supreme Court ruled recently that the president can fire members of independent agency boards without cause.\n\n\n\n“The President, and head of the Executive Branch, reserves the right to remove individuals that may not be totally aligned with the important task of securing America’s elections and ensuring every legal vote is counted.

Trump has also launched an investigation of his 2020 loss, which he continues to falsely insist was due to fraud, and this week his administration threatened states if they did not try to purge what federal officials believe are noncitizens from their voter rolls.\n\n\n\nStill, Trump has largely been powerless to change election processes through executive fiat and David Becker, a former Department of Justice attorney who runs the Center for Election Innovation & Research, said his purge of the EAC wouldn’t alter that.\n\n\n\n“This doesn’t really change anything about how our elections will be run, and how states are successfully ensuring secure, convenient, safe elections,” Becker wrote on the social media site BlueSky Friday morning.\n\n\n\nCritics accuse Trump of damaging voters’ trust\n\n\n\nOn Capitol Hill, the leading Democrats with election oversight responsibility said Trump, rather than bolstering U.S. election integrity, is further politicizing the voting process.\n\n\n\n“President Trump is trying to dismantle yet another independent guardrail of our democracy designed to keep elections fair and secure,” said Sen. Alex Padilla, D-California, and Rep. Joe Morelle, D-New York. “Purging commissioners just months before the midterm elections and further gutting support for our state and local elections officials is a blatant part of his plan to politicize our elections and enable more unlawful and dangerous election interference.”\n\n\n\nPadilla is the ranking member of the Senate Rules Committee, and Morelle is ranking member of the House Administration Committee.\n\n\n\nThe lawmakers noted that the Supreme Court’s conservative majority enabled Trump’s move with its decision to “upend decades of executive power to appease the President.”\n\n\n\nStaff at the Election Assistance Commission did not immediately respond Friday to a request for comment on the agency’s operations moving forward.\n\n\n\nWhile the White House statement did not offer a specific reason for Trump’s action, the commission has previously declined to change the national voter registration form to require documentation of an applicant’s U.S. citizenship, as Trump’s urged in a sweeping March 2025 executive order on U.S. elections. Though the form itself does not require citizenship documents, voter registration materials from the agency do state clearly that it already is illegal to falsely claim U.S. citizenship to vote.\n\n\n\nA federal judge blocked the order, ruling it exceeded the president’s authority since the U.S. Constitution grants authority over elections management and oversight to Congress and the states. The administration has indicated it will appeal.\n\n\n\nTrump hasn’t said whether he’ll pick new members\n\n\n\nIt was not clear whether Trump planned to nominate new members immediately or leave the positions vacant — a move that, months ahead of midterm elections, could prevent the agency from distributing new grants to state or local elections offices and perhaps complicate its role in overseeing testing and certification of voting systems around the country.\n\n\n\n“The Administration from the start has been working across all agencies and local partners to safeguard elections from fraud and abuse, and investing in a strong infrastructure to sustain that mission especially in the midterm elections,” the White House said.\n\n\n\nCongress created the commission as part of the Help America Vote Act, a bipartisan law signed by Republican President George W. Bush in 2002. The act requires the commission to include two Democrats and two Republicans, nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Hicks and McCormick were appointed by President Barack Obama. Trump appointed Hovland during his first presidency.\n\n\n\nAccording to VoteBeat, Hicks and Hovland were notified of their removal by an email signed by Morgan DeWitt Snow, the deputy director of presidential personnel in the Executive Office of the President.\n\n\n\nMore court fights are always possible\n\n\n\nHicks and Hovland could challenge their dismissals, but that ultimately could require the Supreme Court to revisit two decisions it just issued on the president’s power over independent agencies.\n\n\n\nThe court ruled 6-3 last month in the case of former Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Slaughter that Trump had wide executive authority to fire political appointees of independent executive agencies. Trump had fired Slaughter without cause despite a provision of federal law that required a reason and a nearly century-old Supreme Court precedent insulating independent agency heads from presidential whims.\n\n\n\nThe court’s six conservatives said that the previous restrictions on presidential prerogatives violated the Constitution’s separation of powers. The logic extends to other agencies, including the National Labor Relations Board, the Merit Systems Protection Board and the Consumer Product Safety Commission, where Trump also has fired board members.\n\n\n\nIn the separate case of Federal Reserve Board member Lisa Cook, whom Trump had tried to fire, a 5-4 majority deviated from the Slaughter decision and ruled that the president could not fire central bank governors without cause. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh sided with the court’s three liberals in the Cook case. They justified their exception to their Slaughter reasoning by citing the central bank’s unique structure as congressionally chartered but independent, quasi-private institution whose “appearance of independence is key to the Federal Reserve’s design” and its role in setting monetary policy that shapes the U.S. and world economy.\n\n\n\nNicholas Riccardi in Denver contributed to this report.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/politics/donald-trump-election-assistance-commission-members/4047877/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Bill Barrow | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-10T14:21:09.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Ftrump-getty7-10-e1783709746533.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D6000%2C3380","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"trump-ousts-members-of-bipartisan-federal-election-commission"},{"id":"jso6gl","title":"McDonald's teams up with BTS again for BT21 Happy Meal: See the toys","excerpt":"A toy chest full of uniquely “Dynamite” characters has arrived at McDonald’s.\n\n\n\nThe fast-food giant announced via its Menu Spotter that its latest BTS collab — the BT21 Happy Meal — will arrive at participating McDonald’s restaurants nationwide on July 14 for a limited time.\n\n\n\nThe chain’s newes...","content":"A toy chest full of uniquely “Dynamite” characters has arrived at McDonald’s.\n\n\n\nThe fast-food giant announced via its Menu Spotter that its latest BTS collab — the BT21 Happy Meal — will arrive at participating McDonald’s restaurants nationwide on July 14 for a limited time.\n\n\n\nThe chain’s newest partnership with Jungkook, V, Jimin, Suga, Jin, RM and J-Hope enters the BT21 Universe, the collaborative project between BTS and cuddly character platform Line Friends.\n\n\n\nThe BT21 Happy Meal arrives in stores soon.

Seven of the eight characters symbolize members of BTS, and VAN, the guardian robot, represents the BTS Army.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEach BT21 character has elements of the performers’ personalities. For example, Jungkook’s BT21 character COOKY is “always full of heart and boundless stamina,” according to the BT21 website, while RM’s KOYA is the “sleeping cutie” who “naps with a mind heavily filled with thoughts.”\n\n\n\nThe Golden Arches has teamed up with the South Korean boy band a couple times in the past. In 2021, it dropped the BTS Meal, which featured a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets with Sweet Chili and Cajun dipping sauces inspired by McDonald’s South Korea, fries and a drink. The limited-time promotion was available in nearly 50 markets around the world.\n\n\n\nA few years later, in September 2025, the chain tapped the “Butter” singers again to offer a Happy Meal special featuring two sets of TinyTAN toys inspired by each member of the group.\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Friday that 31 states have reported cases of cyclosporiasis and 86 people have been hospitalized. \n\n\n\nAs health officials scramble to find the source of the illnesses, the CDC said it’s unclear whether the outbreaks in different states are connected.\n\n\n\nThe numbers are a sharp rise compared to this time last year, it said. The agency has confirmed 843 of those cases, all acquired in the U.S., and is still investigating more than 1,500. No deaths have been reported. \n\n\n\nThe outbreak has been particularly intense in Michigan, which had 1,562 cases as of Friday. Illnesses caused by the cyclospora parasite, have also been reported in neighboring Ohio, as well as in Colorado, Illinois, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Wisconsin and other states.\n\n\n\nDr. Natasha Bagdasarian, chief medical executive of Michigan, said the rapid rise is “highly unusual.” The state usually sees 40 to 50 cases of cyclosporiasis a year. She said laboratories in the state are scrambling to sequence the genome of the bug to track where it came from. \n\n\n\n“We can see if isolates are closely related, meaning that there was likely a common source, and then we can potentially go back and look for the source of that contamination,” she said.\n\n\n\nFresh produce has historically been behind outbreaks. Cyclospora parasites cling to fruit, vegetables and herbs, making them difficult to rinse away. \n\n\n\nDianna Blau, acting chief of the CDC’s Parasitic Disease Branch, said it’s challenging to investigate the outbreaks because it can take a week or more for symptoms to appear. “In an average year, there’s a small proportion of cases that actually get traced back to one particular food item,” she said.\n\n\n\nWhatever is just now making people sick was likely consumed more than a week ago. Very often, the contaminated food is combined with other foods — cilantro in salsa or bagged lettuce in salads, for example — and easily forgotten days later.\n\n\n\nAs of Friday, the Food and Drug Administration said it was “actively engaged” with state partners. There have been no recalls of products possibly linked to the outbreaks. \n\n\n\nWhere is it spreading?\n\n\n\nMichigan has been hit hardest this summer, the season when cyclosporiasis cases typically occur. The state had confirmed 1,562 cases as of Friday, with at least 36 hospitalizations. Most are concentrated in the southeast corner of the state that borders the northwest part of Ohio, which is also experiencing an outbreak. \n\n\n\nThe Ohio Health Department had 177 cases listed, with 28 people hospitalized, as of July 2. Those numbers are sure to climb, because the Toledo-Lucas Health Department reported 306 cases this past week. New York has reported 394 cases and Illinois has 141 cases so far.\n\n\n\nAn NBC News tally of state health department data shows 2,912 cases have either been reported or confirmed nationwide. Last year, there were approximately 2,700 cases nationally, Blau said. Cases tend to increase during the summer, usually between May 1 and Aug. 31.\n\n\n\nWhat is cyclosporiasis and what are its symptoms?\n\n\n\nThe disease — cyclosporiasis — is a foodborne illness caused by a microscopic parasite called cyclospora. Fresh produce is almost always the source. Previous outbreaks have involved raspberries, bagged lettuce or salads, cilantro and basil. Rarely, it can also be waterborne.\n\n\n\nHowever it enters the human body, people usually start feeling sick about a week later. The illness can begin with flu-like symptoms, such as severe fatigue and body aches.\n\n\n\nWhat really sets cyclosporiasis symptoms apart is explosive, watery diarrhea that’s sometimes uncontrollable. People may also have unusually bad gas, stomach cramps and nausea. Consequently, most people lose their appetite. Low-grade fevers are rare.\n\n\n\nCyclosporiasis is treated with an antibiotic, usually Bactrim. Left untreated, symptoms can linger for weeks. People with the illness need to drink plenty of fluids to counter the diarrhea. \n\n\n\nOn average, 10% of patients need to be hospitalized, often from dehydration, Blau said. Young children, older adults and others with compromised immune systems are most at risk. \n\n\n\nTest results usually take about 24 hours. In some areas, however, demand for testing has lengthened the turnaround time to two to three days, doctors said. \n\n\n\nHow is the illness tracked?\n\n\n\nIn July last year, the CDC made tracking cyclospora optional as it scaled back its Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network. At the time, food safety experts worried actions like this and other cutbacks at the CDC would make it harder to identify and respond to outbreaks. \n\n\n\nDonald Schaffner, a food microbiology professor and department chair of the Department of Food Science at Rutgers University, said it’s unclear whether that made a difference in the current cyclosporiasis outbreaks. \n\n\n\n“Could we have learned earlier? Could we be finding out more?” he said. “We need to be doing more to track these.”\n\n\n\nThe CDC’s Blau said there’s been no difference in how cyclosporiasis cases are reported to or handled at the agency in recent years. \n\n\n\nState and local health departments are responsible for interviewing patients to see if they can remember what they ate within the past few weeks that could be the culprit, as well as analzying grocery receipts to look for similar food product brands. Blau said the CDC is providing technical assistance to states and helping analyze samples as investigators try to determine if they’re connected to other outbreaks. \n\n\n\nHow does it spread?\n\n\n\nThe illness doesn’t spread from person to person like a respiratory virus or the norovirus, another stomach bug. Even when a person sheds the parasite through bowel movements, the parasite isn’t mature enough to infect other people immediately. \n\n\n\nIt takes days or weeks for those parasites to grow in the environment before becoming strong enough to cause a new infection. \n\n\n\nAnd though cyclospora aren’t known to linger on surfaces, food safety experts always advise washing down countertops and cutting boards with soap and water. \n\n\n\nStaying safe from cyclosporiasis\n\n\n\nCooking food is the only sure way to kill the parasite. Rinsing produce can reduce the risk for cyclosporiasis but doesn’t eliminate it. \n\n\n\nJanet Buffer, senior institute manager at the Institute for Food Safety and Nutrition Security at George Washington University, recommends against using dishwashing soap because it could leave a residue on the surface of fruits and vegetables, which could also upset stomachs. \n\n\n\nInstead, “agitate the surface vigorously,” she said. \n\n\n\nRaspberries in particular can be difficult to clean because they’re covered in tiny hairs that make it easy for the parasite to hang on to. There’s no indication berries are involved in current outbreaks. The nation’s largest supplier of berries, Driscoll’s, told NBC News that health authorities have not contacted it regarding any connection to rising cases. \n\n\n\nThe Michigan Health and Human Services Department suggests cooking raspberries when possible, such as in pies and jams. It’s possible that freezing can kill the parasite, but it’s not guaranteed. \n\n\n\nOther tips to reduce the risk for cyclosporiasis, according to Michigan health officials:\n\n\n\n\nPurchase whole heads of lettuce rather than prewashed, bagged lettuce or salad mixes. Remove the outer leaves and rinse the remaining leaves.\n\n\n\nSeparate cilantro and basil leaves and wash them thoroughly under running water. \n\n\n\nTrim green onions by taking off the root end and removing the outer layer before washing them.\n\n\n\n\nUntil a source is found, Rutgers’ Schaffner cautions against staying away from fresh fruits and vegetables. “We know that fresh produce is part of a healthy diet. We know that cyclospora cases peak between May and August, which is also prime fresh produce eating season,” he said. “I can tell you that I’m not going to change my consumption habits.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/people-hospitalized-foodborne-parasite-spreading-across-us-cdc/4047834/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Erika Edwards | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-10T13:14:50.000Z","category":"library","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2F0_04-4P-VO-CYCLOSPORIASIS.mp4.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"86-people-have-been-hospitalized-with-foodborne-parasite-spreading-across-the-us-cdc-says"},{"id":"vj6l61","title":"Dallas public libraries closed during citywide furlough day","excerpt":"Dallas residents hoping to use public libraries on Friday were disappointed to find their doors locked due to a citywide furlough day.

A replacement aircraft was later provided to fly the passengers to Germany.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNASA\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFeb 19\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNASA report paints damning picture of Boeing mishap that stranded two astronauts in space\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAir Travel\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOct 16, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPay more for reclining seats?

It may be unique, trendy, newsworthy, classic, or just … fun! And there will always be a fascinating story behind it.\n\n\n\nWhen Britney Donley became a mother at 20, she wasn’t carrying a carefully curated list of baby names into the delivery room.\n\n\n\nExhausted after labor and overwhelmed as a first-time parent, she asked a nurse a simple question: “What day is it?”\n\n\n\n“Sunday,” the nurse replied.\n\n\n\nThat was all the inspiration she needed.\n\n\n\nHer first child became Sunday.\n\n\n\nEach week, TODAY.com spotlights an unusual or meaningful baby name and the story behind it. This week, that distinction belongs to Sunday, and to her six siblings who complete the calendar: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.\n\n\n\nIt sounds almost too perfect to be true. But Donley says each of her kids was born on the day that would become his or her name.\n\n\n\n“I can’t make it up,” the 37-year-old mom in Michigan tells TODAY.com with a laugh.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHer oldest, Sunday, recently turned 18 and graduated from high school. She hopes to become a teacher. Monday is 16. Tuesday is 10. Wednesday is 5. Thursday is 4. Friday is 2. Saturday is 17 months old.\n\n\n\nThe names often stop strangers in their tracks.\n\n\n\n“When we’re out together and I call for Monday or Tuesday, people turn their heads,” Donley says.\n\n\n\nFor her, the names were never about attracting attention.\n\n\n\nBritney Donley poses with her seven children: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. (Courtesy Britney Donley)\n\n\n\n\nGrowing up in a family of eight children, Donley dreamed of having a large family of her own. She also hoped her children would share a bond that went beyond biology. Because her children have different fathers, she wanted them to have something that uniquely connected them to one another.\n\n\n\n“I wanted them to be close,” she says. “That has always been really important to me. And they are close. They do everything together.”\n\n\n\nThat closeness, she believes, has become one of the greatest gifts of the unusual naming tradition.\n\n\n\nAt first, she says, her son Monday wasn’t fond of his name. He preferred using his last name at school and rarely introduced himself as Monday.\n\n\n\nThat changed after the family began sharing their lives online.\n\n\n\nAs viewers embraced the children’s names, the children began to see them differently.\n\n\n\n“Now they love them,” Donley says. “People tell them how special they are.”\n\n\n\nAlthough she says she isn’t planning to have more biological children, she hopes one day to become a foster or adoptive parent.\n\n\n\nAsked what she would name those future children, she didn’t hesitate.\n\n\n\n“The months,” Donley said. “I’d start naming them after the months\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

He said the dogs were in an air-conditioned location and that he checked on them before bed, but there was a power outage.\n\n\n\nSit’s girlfriend, Tingfeng Liu, was convicted of accessory to a felony. She was sentenced to 3 years in prison.\n\n\n\nAlso speaking through an interpreter, Liu said she was sorry for the wrong decision she made and apologized to the dog owners.\n\n\n\n Sit, who operated Happy K9 Academy, faced a maximum of nearly 14 years in prison.\n\n\n\n“It is a sense of relief that we finally got the justice that we deserve,” said dog owner Aimee Gutierrez. “Quite frankly, I don’t think 11 years is enough.”\n\n\n\nThe chain of events that led to Sit’s arrest included a June 18, 2025 text message to one of the dog owners that read, “I’m so sorry to let you know that Miko passed away peacefully during the night while resting. There were no signs of pain or struggle, and it was truly unexpected. I am deeply saddened by this loss.\n\n\n\n“Out of respect, I will refund the full training fee and offer additional compensation. The body has been lovingly cremated, and I will keep the ashes safe for you until you’re ready. Please know my thoughts are with you. If you need anything, I’m here for you.”\n\n\n\nMiko’s owner contacted Irvine police, whose Animal Services Unit opened an investigation and recovered the bodies of several dogs at different crematoriums that had been dropped off by Sit and Liu. Their owners had been notified via text of the dogs’ deaths.\n\n\n\nNecropsies on the dogs who were not cremated determined that most died from heat stroke. One dog died from blunt force injuries.\n\n\n\nSit was convicted of 11 felony counts of animal cruelty, seven misdemeanor counts of attempting to destroy evidence, and one misdemeanor count of destroying evidence. Liu was convicted of one felony count of accessory to a felony, one misdemeanor count of destruction of evidence, and two misdemeanor counts of attempted destruction of evidence.\n\n\n\nHappy K9 Academy advertised boarding and training services with one-to-four-week sessions ranging from $999 to $3,399.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/irvine-dog-trainer-dog-deaths-sentencing-cremation/4048080/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Jonathan Lloyd and Hetty Chang","publishDate":"2026-07-10T12:34:41.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Ftrainer.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dog-trainer-sentenced-to-nearly-12-years-in-prison-after-dogs-die-in-hot-van"},{"id":"2vvixu","title":"This Florida airport has a new name: President Donald J.

One person remarked that “the lightning in the background is the cherry on top,” while another cautioned, “It’s Newark, let’s not go that far.” Someone else joked the rainbow was “just trying to take the heat off the World Cup.”\n\n\n\nThe exchange between pilots and controllers as storms moved through the region unfolded amid a record‑setting heat wave and bursts of lightning and heavy rain, the kind of atmospheric mash‑up that can produce short‑lived but striking rainbows.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTaylor Swift\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 9\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDior reveals how Taylor Swift's first wedding photos will be unveiled\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTaylor Swift\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 9\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen will Taylor Swift reveal her wedding dress?

He has chosen to let the measure become law without his express approval, undercutting his administration’s claims that he considers it a priority to combat inflation.\n\n\n\nTrump’s rejection of the bipartisan housing legislation exacerbates tensions with his own party in a midterm election year and cuts short their efforts to address a key voter concern about rising costs. His post comes more than a week after he canceled plans to sign the bipartisan legislation, announcing he was using it as leverage in his push for a strict voter ID bill.\n\n\n\nThe 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act aims to lower the cost of housing and spur more home construction. It’s the broadest federal effort in decades to address America’s housing affordability problems, as state and local regulations have made it difficult to build in many of the communities that are also sources of job growth and economic opportunity. White House economists estimated earlier this year a national shortage of 10 million homes and the bill could help to close a portion of that gap.\n\n\n\nBut Trump called the bill “a yawn” and “so unimportant” compared to legislation that would require proof of citizenship for all voters.\n\n\n\nHe surprised Republican lawmakers on June 24, when, shortly before a planned signing ceremony at the Capitol, he announced he would not approve the bill until lawmakers first passed the voting legislation.\n\n\n\nThat bill, the SAVE America Act, doesn’t have enough Republican support to pass.\n\n\n\nThe housing bill passed the Senate on an 85-5 vote and the House approved it with an 358-32 vote.\n\n\n\nThat legislation seeks to cut federal housing rules, slim-down environmental reviews, make it faster to build homes and limit the ability of corporations to buy single-family homes.\n\n\n\nThe bill does not address all of the causes of the country’s housing woes, including a shortage of construction workers, climbing insurance costs and wages that have not risen fast enough for renters and buyers.\n\n\n\nBut the bill has drawn support from the real estate industry and housing advocates.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. housing market has been a driver of recent affordability challenges as skyrocketing prices have kept aspiring buyers out of the market. The National Association of Realtors said Thursday that the median sales price increased 1.8% in June from a year earlier to $440,600, an all-time high on data going back to 1999.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/trump-wont-sign-bipartisan-housing-bill-protest-gop-voter-id-law/4047684/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Michelle Price and Josh Boak | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-10T09:54:45.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FUS-POLITICS-TRUMP-2284348648-Getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2688%2C1792","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"trump-will-let-housing-bill-become-law-without-signing-in-protest-over-gop-voter-id-law"},{"id":"6viu6j","title":"Affidavit: Plano ISD teacher touched female students at his desk","excerpt":"More details have been released in the case of a Brinker Elementary School teacher who is accused of sexually abusing a second grader.

He was wearing blue swim trunks and sunglasses. \n\n\n\nNolan Xavier Wells on Horn Island, where he was last seen, on Saturday. Courtesy of Jackson County Sheriff’s Department.\n\n\n\nWells’ mother reported him missing that night after he did not return on the boat with the rest of the group, according to Ben Crump, the prominent civil rights attorney retained by Wells’ family.\n\n\n\nA two-day search was launched that included the National Park Service, the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources and the Coast Guard.\n\n\n\nA U.S. park ranger found his body Monday at the northwestern tip of the island, Crump said.\n\n\n\nThe Jackson County Coroner’s Office confirmed to NBC News that the body was identified as that of Wells. A cause of death has not been determined pending autopsy and toxicology reports.\n\n\n\nHis family is trying to piece together what happened on the boat and learn why he was left alone.\n\n\n\nWells’ mother, Christine Wonsley, shared photos Sunday on Facebook that she said were of Wells with his friends on the boat on the Fourth. The photos show her son with three other young males. Other boats are also seen in the distance.\n\n\n\nCrump told NBC affiliate WESH of Orlando, Florida, “You had this 18-year-old kid who went out celebrating on the Fourth of July with his friends on a boat, and tragically, they all came back, but Nolan didn’t, and Nolan was the only African American in the group, and so it is like making people harken back to the sins of the past in the state of Mississippi.” \n\n\n\n\n\nCrump told WESH that Wells’ friends and relatives do not accept that his death “was a drowning, an accidental drowning.”\n\n\n\nJackson County Sheriff John Ledbetter told The Associated Press that Wells’ friends are cooperating with the investigation.\n\n\n\n“From the people we’ve talked to, it sounds like he chose to stay on the island with the assumption that he was going to ride back to the mainland with someone else,” Ledbetter said.\n\n\n\nCrump said he will lead an independent investigation. He told WESH that Wells’ body will be flown to Washington, D.C., for an independent autopsy “that has no affiliation with Mississippi law enforcement officials.”\n\n\n\nMeanwhile, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department is asking anyone who may have had any sightings of or interactions with Wells on the Fourth to reach out and to send in any photos or videos taken on the northwest tip of Horn Island that day that could depict Wells.\n\n\n\n“We recognize that a significant amount of information, speculation, and commentary has been shared on social media and throughout the community,” the sheriff’s department said in a statement. “As with any active investigation, our investigators are working to establish the facts through eyewitness accounts, physical evidence, and other reliable information.”\n\n\n\nWells was a wide receiver at Southwest Mississippi Community College and was preparing to return for the coming football season. He would have turned 19 next month, according to Crump.\n\n\n\nWonsley said Monday on Facebook that she and her family “are absolutely devastated.”\n\n\n\n“My heart is broken for our sweet son who was always willing to cheer and uplift others,” she said. “Nolan was a special soul, God took his time creating our son.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/investigation-underway-death-mississippi-nolan-wells/4047657/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) -

Refereeing is back in the spotlight after FIFA announced João Pinheiro would be the head referee for the match.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPinheiro refereed the Bayern Munich vs. Paris Saint-Germain Champions League semifinal. A free kick that should have led to a second yellow card for handball by PSG defender Nuno Mendes was overturned after just 29 minutes when Bayern badly needed a way back into the game.\n\n\n\n“That would have been a decisive moment if PSG had lost a player so early,” said Bayern’s Konrad Laimer, who instead was eventually judged — on the fourth official’s advice — to have handled the ball seconds earlier.\n\n\n\nAn added frustration is the passage of play around the Nuno Mendes handball could not be reviewed by the VAR system — though a similar incident could be next season when the rules are updated.\n\n\n\nMendes, whose outstretched right arm made his body bigger and blocked the ball, was already booked for tripping Michael Olise; another seemed inevitable.\n\n\n\nPinheiro signaled for a free kick to Bayern, but a Bayern player was judged to have handled the ball several yards further back when he first controlled the bouncing ball. Television replays were inconclusive.\n\n\n\n“You don’t feel it during the game itself. I thought I had played the ball with my stomach, and then Mendes with his hand,” Bayern’s Konrad Laimer said. “The referee whistled for handball against me five seconds later. That’s really strange.”\n\n\n\nThe VAR protocol allowed video review of “clear and obvious errors” in four game-changing situations: A goal, a penalty, direct red cards, and mistaken identity when the wrong player is shown a red or yellow card.\n\n\n\nStarting with the 2026 World Cup, VAR can intervene to overturn a red card if a second yellow was shown in error.\n\n\n\n\n\nNuno Mendes was never shown a second yellow. However, a similar situation next season will let the referee follow their first instinct and review the whole passage of play at a pitch-side monitor.\n\n\n\n“I thought he was giving it,” Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said of Pinheiro moving toward a second yellow for Nuno Mendes. “I felt he pulled out because he realized he had already given him a yellow and he didn’t want to send him off for that, and he’s turned it around to the other side.\n\n\n\n“I’ve seen it from a few angles. I don’t see Konrad Laimer touch the ball with his hand.”\n\n\n\nInstead of playing one hour against PSG down one man, Bayern faced a full-strength opponent and did not score until Harry Kane’s goal at the very end of a 1-1 game that cut the overall score to 6-5.\n\n\n\nMinutes after the Laimer decision, Bayern was correctly denied a penalty for handball by PSG’s João Neves because the ball was played to his arm by a teammate. That nuance is not specified in The Laws of the Game, but it is in a supplementary document called Football Rules.\n\n\n\nThere have been multiple officiating controversies to come out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.\n\n\n\nFIFA’s refereeing chief rejected claims of bias in Argentina’s win after Egypt’s coach Hossam Hassan alleged after the match that there may have been pressure on the referee to keep Argentina in the tournament.\n\n\n\n\n\nEuropean soccer leaders criticized FIFA’s decision to let USMNT striker Falorin Balogun play after a questionable red card in the second half of their win over Bosnia.\n\n\n\n\n\nTwo players have also been sent off with red cards for covering their mouths while confronting an opponent. FIFA established the new rule to prevent players from hiding abusive, discriminatory, or offensive language while on the field.\n\n\n\n\n\nThere were also allegations of a video review official using a white supremacist gesture; the official said it was caused by a twitch, and FIFA announced no rules were breached.\n\n\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/referee-with-controversial-history-on-argentina-switzerland-2026-fifa-world-cup-match/4047663/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Charles Nichelson and GRAHAM DUNBAR | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-10T09:03:35.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2283293895.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4282%2C2854","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"referee-with-controversial-history-on-argentina-switzerland-2026-world-cup-match"},{"id":"69wtxk","title":"Man has hand blown off by explosive while cleaning July Fourth debris off California beach","excerpt":"A man lost his hand after an explosive device detonated while he was cleaning up Fourth of July firework debris on a Northern California beach.\n\n\n\nJason Turner and his girlfriend were walking along Point St. George Beach in Del Norte County on Sunday, picking up firework remnants from the day bef...","content":"A man lost his hand after an explosive device detonated while he was cleaning up Fourth of July firework debris on a Northern California beach.\n\n\n\nJason Turner and his girlfriend were walking along Point St. George Beach in Del Norte County on Sunday, picking up firework remnants from the day before to help keep the beach clean, according to a GoFundMe set up by his daughter, Ashley Turner. \n\n\n\nTurner picked up a “bomb-like device that unexpectedly went off,” causing an explosion that “resulted in the loss of his hand,” his daughter wrote.\n\n\n\nThe Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement posted to social media on Wednesday that deputies responded to reports of an explosion at the beach. Turner was found in the parking lot with a “significant injury to his hand” and he was transported to a nearby hospital. \n\n\n\nSheriff Kayle Stevens told NBC News on Thursday that investigators have not been able to determine exactly what exploded because “we did not find any debris or remnants of the device.” \n\n\n\nThe couple was about a quarter mile from the parking area when the incident occurred, where there was no cell service, Stevens said. The couple had to make their way back to the parking lot to call for help, and first responders arrived about 20 minutes after the incident.\n\n\n\nTurner described the object as a cylindrical device poking out of a mound of sand near the waterline that detonated when he picked it up, according to Stevens. \n\n\n\nAshley Turner said on the GoFundMe page that her dad underwent an amputation of his hand and is expected to need additional surgeries. \n\n\n\n“The explosion resulted in the loss of his hand, turning what should have been a simple act of kindness into a life-changing emergency,” she wrote.\n\n\n\nHer father has “metal fragments stuck in his eyes and behind his left eye he has blood … His right ear drum is blown and he has no hearing out of it,” she said in a Wednesday update.\n\n\n\nShe added his vision and hearing injuries may be permanent.\n\n\n\nAs of Thursday, the GoFundMe had raised nearly $90,000 to help cover his medical expenses.\n\n\n\nThe Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday that they have not found any similar devices or remnants of the device. The investigation into the cause of the explosion remains ongoing and urged the public not to handle any suspected explosive devices. \n\n\n\n“If you find a suspected explosive device do not touch it. Move away to a safe distance and immediately contact law enforcement,” the sheriff’s office warned.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/man-hand-blown-off-july-fourth-debris-california-beach/4047607/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) -

The break dropped the water level in the city’s water towers to critically low levels.\n\n\n\nThe city said its crews worked with private contractors through the night and into Wednesday morning to quickly repair a broken water line near the city’s main pump station. That break has been repaired, and the city’s water tanks refilled.\n\n\n\nCity officials told NBC 5 they aren’t sure what caused the break, but that it was not related to any construction. Drivers are asked to use caution when traveling on E. Main Street by Walmart, as water crews may still be working in the area.\n\n\n\nWhile the system recharged, water pressure slowly returned to normal. During that time, all residents were asked to boil their water before drinking, making ice, washing their hands, or brushing their teeth. \n\n\n\nThe water should be brought to a vigorous rolling boil, then boiled for two minutes. Or instead of boiling, individuals may use bottled water or obtain water from another suitable source for drinking or human consumption.\n\n\n\nDuring the conservation period, the city asked people to avoid unnecessary water use, including watering lawns, washing cars or anything else that can wait.\n\n\n\nWhy are we asked to boil water?\n\n\n\nLower water pressure in the pipes allows groundwater and other contaminants to seep into older pipes that may have cracks. Some of that groundwater could contain harmful bacteria that can only be eliminated by boiling the water. Children, seniors, and persons with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria. When it is no longer necessary to boil the water, the public water system officials will notify customers that the water is safe for drinking or other human consumption.\n\n\n\nWater for drinking or preparing food\n\n\n\n\nBring the water to a vigorous, rolling boil for 2 to 5 minutes, then allow it to cool before using. Boil tap water even if it’s filtered.\n\n\n\nYou can boil water and then refrigerate it for later use.\n\n\n\nYou can also substitute bottled water if available.\n\n\n\nDo not use any water from an appliance connected to the water line, such as filtration systems or ice and water from a refrigerator.\n\n\n\n\nOther water uses\n\n\n\n\nDuring a boil water notice, IT IS safe to shower or bathe as long as you don’t ingest the water. (As long as your city has not asked you to conserve for consumption only)\n\n\n\nUse caution when bathing babies and young children; consider a sponge bath to reduce the chances of them swallowing water.\n\n\n\nOnly brush your teeth with boiled or bottled water.\n\n\n\nIf possible, use disposable plates, cups and utensils. Dishwashers are safe to use if the final rinse temperature gets to at least 150 degrees or if you have a sanitizing cycle.\n\n\n\nIt is safe to wash laundry as usual.\n\n\n\nUse bottled, boiled or bleach-disinfected water for cleaning.\n\n\n\nDo not let pets drink tap water; either boil the water or use bottled water.\n\n\n\nTap water can be used to water plants.\n\n\n\n\nOnce power is stabilized and water pressure is restored, it may take 24 to 48 hours for the boil water notice to be lifted.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/crowley-asks-residents-to-conserve-water-after-line-break-near-pump-station/4046466/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"NBCDFW Staff","publishDate":"2026-07-08T10:45:16.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2024%2F01%2Fgeneric-faucet-dripping.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"crowley-ends-boil-water-notice-after-line-break-near-pump"},{"id":"pjsc7s","title":"Plano holds community open house for Dallas Stars' proposed Willow Bend District","excerpt":"The City of Plano is inviting the media and the public to see the proposed Willow Bend District that could one day be the home of the Stars.\n\n\n\nThe city is recruiting the Stars from Victory Park in Dallas.

Diagnosis requires post-mortem testing of brain tissue and therefore cannot yet be made in living patients, though research is ongoing to develop a way to detect the disease while the patient is alive.\n\n\n\nKneeland’s family, including his girlfriend, Catalina Mancera, said the diagnosis highlights what athletes in high-contact sports may be dealing with.\n\n\n\n“While this diagnosis does not change the tragedy of his passing, it provides important context about some of the struggles he may have been facing. We share this information to help people understand what NFL and other high-contact sport athletes might be struggling with. Raising awareness is important to us. We continue to remember Marshawn with compassion for the person he was, rather than defining him by the final moments of his life. One Love.”\n\n\n\nThe foundation said in their statement that “a post-mortem CTE diagnosis should not be considered the cause of a suicide and is not known to be a risk factor for suicide.”\n\n\n\n\n\nKneeland was 24 years old last November when he was involved in a brief pursuit with Texas State Troopers who said they attempted to pull him over on the Dallas North Tollway for a traffic violation. The DPS said they lost sight of the driver and terminated the pursuit, but that the vehicle was later found abandoned after a crash on Dallas Parkway near Warren Parkway, not far from the Dallas Cowboys headquarters in Frisco. The DPS said they joined the Frisco Police Department in a search of the immediate area and found the driver, identified as Kneeland, at about 1:30 a.m., deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Plano Police said they were asked to do a welfare check at Kneeland’s home earlier in the evening after a friend received a concerning text from Kneeland saying “goodbye,” but that no one was home when officers arrived.\n\n\n\n“Unfortunately, I was not surprised to find CTE in the brain of Mr. Kneeland, because we have found this progressive brain disease in nearly half of the athletes we’ve studied who have died before the age of 30,” said Dr. Ann McKee, director of the Boston University CTE Center and chief of neuropathology for the VA Boston Healthcare System. “Thanks to the generosity of our brain donor families, we now better understand the earliest stages of CTE, and it is bringing us closer than ever to diagnosing it during life. My team and I are fully dedicated to finding effective treatments and a cure for CTE.”\n\n\n\nDr. Chris Nowinski, Concussion & CTE Foundation CEO, said despite having access to better helmets and concussion protocols, there is no reason to believe modern football players are at any lower risk of developing CTE than previous generations. Nowinski said CTE is caused by repeated head impacts, not just concussions, and that to reduce the risk of CTE the number of impacts must be reduced at every level of the game.\n\n\n\nThe Concussion & CTE Foundation encourages anyone worried about suspected CTE symptoms to reach out to their HelpLine team for medical recommendations and support at ConcussionAndCTE.org/Helpline.\n\n\n\n\n\tIf you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or chat live at 988lifeline.org — callers will be connected with trained counselors available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Richard Coleman, public information officer with Arlington Police, said. “The parking lot was obviously full because of that.”\n\n\n\nOfficers arrived to find a 24-year-old man with multiple apparent gunshot wounds.\n\n\n\n“These individuals were not strangers to one another. They both work at the plant. They work in different departments inside the plant,” Coleman said. “There was a verbal argument that occurred, and then a very small physical altercation. And then shortly thereafter, the gunshots were fired.”\n\n\n\nAccording to police, the gunman left after the shooting as bystanders stepped in to help the victim.\n\n\n\n“After the shooting occurred, several of his coworkers were, you know, entering and exiting their vehicles at the time. And so, they saw him lying on the ground and began administering aid to him,” Coleman said.\n\n\n\nThe man was taken to a hospital for treatment. His current condition is not known.\n\n\n\nLarry Hines, inset.\n\n\n\nArlington Police said the suspected gunman, whom they identified as 26-year-old Larry Hines, called 911 a short time later and said he was involved in the shooting.\n\n\n\n“He provided information that led us to determine that he was also a second party to this incident,” Coleman said.\n\n\n\nPolice located Hines at his apartment on Viridian Village Drive and questioned him. He was ultimately arrested and is facing a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.  A bond amount has not been set, and it’s unclear whether he has retained an attorney to speak on his behalf. \n\n\n\nThere were no additional reports of any injuries or property damage.

The pest is actually the larvae of the New World screwworm fly. It eats live flesh and fluids rather than dead material, as the larvae of most fly species do.\n\n\n\nHere is what to know about the parasite, the threat it poses to pets and how to protect them:\n\n\n\nScrewworm fly larvae can infest any mammal\n\n\n\nThe fly’s migration north from Panama starting in 2024, and through Mexico in 2025, has agriculture officials warning that it poses a threat to the $113 billion U.S. cattle industry, but the larvae can hatch and breed in any mammal, including wildlife, dogs, cats and occasionally humans.\n\n\n\nThe problem develops when a female fly lays its eggs in open wounds and mucus. After the eggs hatch, the larvae feed for about a week before maturing, dropping to the ground and continuing to develop into an adult fly.\n\n\n\nThe American Veterinary Medical Association says newborn animals and animals with open wounds or who have undergone surgery or other medical procedures recently are especially vulnerable. Even a tick bite can host an infestation, Aaron Grady, executive director of the Houston Humane Society shelter, said during a webinar on the screwworm. \n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAnimals\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJan 31\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPet sounds: Why some dog owners share music with their 4-legged friends\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpets\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNov 4, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPets contribute to greenhouse gases.

Other signs include a foul smell and restlessness or anxiety in an animal, or an animal “hyper-fixating on looking or chewing in a certain area of the body,” said Melissa Stansell, a veterinarian at the shelter Austin Pets Alive!\n\n\n\nAny one of those is reason enough to go to a veterinarian. The affected animal is likely in a great deal of pain, and that can cause death from shock. The larvae also can cause death if they move into vital organs or by causing infections that turn deadly. \n\n\n\nFlea, tick medications can stop an infestation\n\n\n\nHumane society officials and veterinarians said shelters across Texas are trying to prevent infestations in animals by giving them prescription flea and tick medications. They recommend that pet owners do the same.\n\n\n\n“It will kill the larvae as they ingest the blood and tissue,” Stansell said. “The chemical compositions of those products are what kill the actual larval stages of these flies.”\n\n\n\nVeterinarians also can treat infestations and animals can recover if pet owners contact them quickly. Stansell said the treatment could include antibiotics.\n\n\n\n“It is only fatal if left untreated,” she said. \n\n\n\n\n\nAn effort to eradicate the fly again is underway\n\n\n\nThe New World screwworm fly is a tropical species and decades ago would disappear each year when colder weather arrived with the fall or winter.\n\n\n\nBut state and U.S. Department of Agriculture officials aren’t waiting for the weather to turn. They’ve returned to an eradication method that worked decades ago, breeding sterile male flies and releasing them into the wild. The female New World screwworm fly mates once in her monthslong life, and if her partner is sterile, her eggs won’t hatch — causing the population in an area to drop and then disappear.\n\n\n\nFor years, the only factory breeding sterile flies in the Western Hemisphere was in Panama, but the USDA invested $21 million to convert a site in southern Mexico from breeding fruit flies to recently start breeding screwworm flies. The agency also plans to spend $750 million on a new fly factory in Texas, set to open next year.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/protect-pets-new-world-screwworm-fly/4047605/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"John Hanna | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-10T07:23:45.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2161355113.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D6720%2C4480","slug":"how-to-protect-your-pets-from-the-new-world-screwworm-fly"},{"id":"zi8w6w","title":"One of Spain's deadliest wildfires has killed at least 11 people, with 19 others missing","excerpt":"A wildfire in southern Spain has killed at least 11 people, making it one of the country’s deadliest on record, as soaring temperatures grip much of the country, authorities said Friday.\n\n\n\nSeveral victims of the fire in Almeria were found inside burnt-out vehicles.

Eight others have been injured in the blaze, which 150 firefighters and 220 soldiers from Spain’s military emergency unit were battling.\n\n\n\nRegional emergency authorities said four British nationals appeared to be among the victims. Andalusia’s regional leader Juan Manuel Moreno said 19 people were unaccounted for on the Cadena Ser radio station.\n\n\n\nAuthorities reported earlier that 12 people had died, but revised the death toll Friday morning.\n\n\n\nFire causes evacuations, road closures\n\n\n\nThe fire broke out in a hamlet in a semi-arid area near the Sierra de Los Filabres mountains. Authorities have not confirmed the cause, but said people who called to report it said that a fallen power line had sparked a blaze that spread rapidly into a nearby forest.\n\n\n\nThe fire also led to road closures, while 1,000 residents were evacuated, according to emergency services.\n\n\n\nSpanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez expressed his condolences, writing on X of his “Immense sadness and desolation in the face of the terrible consequences of the fire affecting the province of Almeria.” \n\n\n\nSpain battles intense heat again\n\n\n\nSpain has battled frequent and severe heat waves in recent years, with temperatures often exceeding 40 C (104 F). Wind, high temperatures and little rainfall help small wildfires grow into unchecked blazes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn June, Spain experienced several days of record-setting heat, with over 1,000 excess deaths attributed to heat. \n\n\n\nParts of Western Europe are facing their third heat wave in six weeks.\n\n\n\nEurope is the world’s fastest-warming continent, with temperatures increasing twice as fast as the global average since the 1980s, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service.

Anthony said he was threatened before pulling out a knife and fatally stabbing Metcalf.\n\n\n\nOn Tuesday afternoon, Anthony’s legal team filed a formal 63-page motion seeking a new trial. The filing argues Anthony’s constitutional rights were violated in several ways, including claims that the public was improperly excluded from portions of the trial, prosecutors backed away from an alleged off-the-record agreement that influenced Anthony’s decision not to testify, and the jury received improper instructions.\n\n\n\nThe defense also argues that courtroom restrictions, including limited seating and the lack of an overflow room during testimony, violated Anthony’s right to a public trial.\n\n\n\nAnthony’s team is also asking that Judge John Roach, who oversaw the trial, be removed from the case because of “problematic comments” he made during a television interview after the trial, in which he shared his personal opinions about the case, the jury’s verdict, and his own rulings. \n\n\n\nIn a statement to NBC 5, Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis’ office disputed the defense’s claims.\n\n\n\n“The defendant’s new lawyers have filed a motion containing several inaccurate characterizations of the trial proceedings,” First Assistant District Attorney Bill Wirskye said in the statement. “I and the entire prosecution team conducted this trial ethically and in full compliance with the Court’s rulings and any agreements with defense counsel. We look forward to addressing these claims thoroughly in our written response, which will be filed with the Court in the coming weeks.”\n\n\n\nThe statement added, “The jury heard extensive evidence over the course of the trial and returned a unanimous verdict. We remain confident in that verdict and the fairness of the proceedings.”\n\n\n\nAnthony is serving his sentence at the Wallace Pack Unit in Navasota while the post-trial motions are pending.\n\n\n\nMotion to recuse\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMotion for a new trial and brief in support\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tKarmelo Anthony trial\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCollin County\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 22\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHigh-profile attorneys join Karmelo Anthony appeal effort\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCollin County\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 19\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFirst look at evidence shown in Karmelo Anthony murder case\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCrime and Courts\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 12\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tProsecutor in Karmelo Anthony murder trial reflects on trial, sentence\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFrisco\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 10\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKarmelo Anthony to appeal murder conviction in Frisco stabbing case\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFrisco\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 8\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKarmelo Anthony sentenced to 35 years for the murder of Austin Metcalf\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/karmelo-anthonys-attorneys-ask-for-new-trial-new-judge-in-frisco-track-meet-murder-case/4046043/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Frank Heinz and Ahraya Burns","publishDate":"2026-07-07T15:13:52.000Z","category":"local","localScore":30,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Fka-sketch-day5.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1875%2C1057","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"karmelo-anthonys-attorneys-ask-for-new-trial-new-judge-in-frisco-track-meet-murder-case"},{"id":"f760m1","title":"Big 12 Football Media Days returns to Frisco","excerpt":"Big 12 Football Media Days is back at The Star in Frisco again. \n\n\n\nTexas Tech’s offseason search for a quarterback\n\n\n\nTexas Tech is coming off a historic College Football Playoff appearance.

They’re led by former Cedar Hill High School coach Joey McGuire. Tech made offseason headlines after recruiting embattled quarterback Brendan Sorsby, who is from Lake Dallas. \n\n\n\nSorsby engaged in a legal battle with the NCAA, which had declared him ineligible for making thousands of sports bets worth at least $90,000, including during his freshman year at Indiana University in 2022. He did not play in the games he bet on for the Hoosiers that season.\n\n\n\nThe NFL ruled he cannot join the league until the 2027 draft or after. Sorsby will also not be playing college football this year. It’s unclear who will start in his place.\n\n\n\nTech is expected to be a conference-favorite once again.\n\n\n\n\n\nFormer UNT coach takes over for Oklahoma State\n\n\n\nOklahoma State is starting a new chapter with former UNT head coach Eric Morris, hot off one of the best seasons in North Texas history. He also took some players with him, including quarterback Drew Mestemaker, running back Caleb Hawkins, and linebacker Ethan Wesloski. Expectations will likely be tempered in year one, but a lot of people are anticipating what’s to come from Stillwater.\n\n\n\nColorado looks to return to winning ways with Deion ‘cancer-free’\n\n\n\nColorado coach and Dallas Cowboys legend Deion Sanders said he was feeling like his old self again after surgery to remove his cancerous bladder. Sanders is coming off his worst season at Colorado (3-9, 1-8 in conference). The team is still looking for a quarterback to take the reins after Shedeur Sanders left for the NFL in 2024.Its success could hinge on the productivity of quarterback Julian Lewis. The young quarterback saw limited action last year, finishing with 290 passing yards and two touchdowns through the air. Will Sanders endorse Lewis as his full-time starting quarterback?\n\n\n\nCan a new QB give Dave Aranda’s Baylor team a boost?\n\n\n\nBaylor finished the 2025 season with a lot of question marks. The school quickly handled a key aspect when it announced that Dave Aranda would return as its head football coach in November.\n\n\n\nNow, Aranda enters another pivotal campaign where Baylor looks to regain its status as a Big 12 power. The Bears will have a new leader under center in Florida transfer DJ Lagway,whose father, Derek, played at Baylor from 1997-2001. Lagway will look to regain his footing after a sour ending to his time at Florida.\n\n\n\nRead more from our media partners, The Dallas Morning News.\n\n\n\nBig 12 becomes first Power Four conference to have all members agree to CSC participation\n\n\n\nThe Big 12 became the first Power Four conference to have each of its members sign participation agreements with the College Sports Commission, the agency formed last year to police name, image, and likeness payments. The agreement requires schools to waive their right to file lawsuits against the enforcement agency and gives it wide latitude to sanction programs for violating rules that outline how players can be paid after the House settlement last year.\n\n\n\nBut all 68 Power Four schools must sign the 11-page document for it to become valid. All schools had initially been asked to review and sign the document by last December.\n\n\n\nThe document outlines rules that have been established since the House settlement was approved last summer — for instance, about the salary cap and the CSC’s role in analyzing third-party name, image, likeness deals through its NIL Go platform.\n\n\n\nThe CSC says it has cleared more than 26,000 NIL deals worth some $242.3 million through May 1 since its launch.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/ncaaf/big-12-football-media-days-returns-to-frisco/4045697/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) -

Clark has been hip-checked, poked in the eye and struck in the throat during games.\n\n\n\n“These incidents go far beyond routine physical play, yet the WNBA and its officiating have too often failed to address these unacceptable incidents and hold players accountable.”\n\n\n\nIt’s the latest chapter in the Clark saga about whether league officials must do more to protect one of the WNBA’s top players from unnecessarily aggressive physical contact.\n\n\n\nThe letter was sent two weeks after Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas made contact with her fist to Clark’s throat in a June 24 game. Thomas was not called for a foul on the play during the game, but the league subsequently upgraded the play to a flagrant foul and suspended her one game for “recklessly making contact with her fist.”\n\n\n\nLeague officials have not yet issued a statement in response to the letter.\n\n\n\nThomas has called the play a “complete accident,” adding that she has received death threats since the incident. Clark and her coach, Stephanie White, an ardent defender of Clark, have condemned threats levied at Thomas.\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere Clark stands among her WNBA peers\n\n\n\nThe 24-year-old Iowa alum has helped increase WNBA ticket sales and driven women’s basketball television ratings to unprecedented heights with her play.\n\n\n\nHowever, many conversations around her tap into a variety of combustible hot-button topics, including race, officiating, money and politics. Clark has largely managed to thrive, but can’t completely escape the noise.\n\n\n\n“I think sometimes people think I’m a robot. I’m not a robot,” she said. “It can be really frustrating to me at times. I’m 24 years old trying to navigate a lot. I’ve been in this world for four years now — and you would never change any of it — but there are times that it is hard. And there are times when it affects me a little bit more than I do put on. I think it’s important that people remember that part of it, too.”\n\n\n\nLawmakers also suggested in their letter that government agencies such as the Department of Justice should investigate if discrimination or retaliation are creating a hostile work environment in the WNBA.\n\n\n\nFever officials said in a statement that neither Clark nor team officials have been in contact with the Congressional group and that they were unaware of the letter before its release.\n\n\n\n“We have been clear in our public comments and in our ongoing dialogue with the league about the priority of player safety,” the statement read. “Our players and our fans know where we stand on those issues, and we will continue to stick up for our team and a standard of excellence across the league.”\n\n\n\nClark is one of the league’s most popular players, but she’s also one of the most polarizing — even amongst her peers.\n\n\n\nFans made her the No. 2 vote-getter for next week’s All-Star Game while Clark’s fellow players ranked her 11th among league guards — something three-time WNBA champ and Hall of Famer Candace Parker took exception with.\n\n\n\n“If you’re sitting down and putting Caitlin Clark as the 11th best guard … y’all need to go to a therapist and figure out what childhood issues you have,” Parker wrote on social media.\n\n\n\nWhat makes Clark so polarizing\n\n\n\nClark instantly became the face of the league from the moment she was drafted first overall in 2024, before ever playing a pro game and even though she had not won an NCAA championship.\n\n\n\nTo accommodate her rampant fan base, opponents moved games from home arenas to larger venues which generated more revenue. And Fever games quickly became a regular feature on national television even after Indiana missed the playoffs from 2016-23.\n\n\n\nClark supporters say her immediate notoriety created resentment among WNBA veterans and has led to the hard fouls that cross the line.\n\n\n\nOpponents counter that because of Clark’s ability to shoot the ball and beat opponents with her ball-handling, players defending her try to be as physical as a referee will allow to slow her down.\n\n\n\nFollowing the game on June 24, Fever coach Stephanie White angrily expressed players had crossed the line multiple times and highlighted two no-calls. The 6-foot, 157-pound Clark eventually left in the second half with a back injury that kept her out of the next two games.\n\n\n\nClark returned to action Wednesday night but was not expected to play Thursday night at Phoenix as a precaution.\n\n\n\nThe subject of race also has been injected into the Clark debate. White and Clark are both white; Thomas is Black.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tMORE WNBA COVERAGE\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWNBA\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 3\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCaitlin Clark condemns ‘harassment' as WNBA players face a surge of online threats\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWNBA\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 25\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWNBA suspends Alyssa Thomas 1 game for hit to Caitlin Clark's throat\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWNBA\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 17\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNike to release Caitlin Clark's ‘Caitlin 1' signature shoe this fall\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\n“Because the bandwagon and the fandom became so obsessed with the whole thing, it turned into a cause,” said UConn coach Geno Auriemma, who has won a record 12 NCAA women’s basketball championships. Clark, he added, “became the reason why white players get beat up in the WNBA and she became the reason why Black players don’t get the endorsements and don’t get the adulation that white players get.”\n\n\n\nThe coach noted that, “Not every foul is a good foul. Not every foul’s a bad foul, but there are fouls that are flagrant — but that’s all they are.”\n\n\n\nWhat role Clark plays in debate\n\n\n\nClark has repeatedly attempted to downplay the noise surrounding her.\n\n\n\nBut she also has played a part in this ongoing storyline, showing her passion by throwing her arms in the air when she’s unhappy with calls, exaggerating contact as a tactic to draw fouls and critiquing refs when she doesn’t get one.\n\n\n\nClark is also among the leading trash-talkers in the WNBA. When she gets the better of an opponent, she isn’t shy about letting them know about it. Clark is averaging a career-high 20.5 points per game while ranking second in the league in assists with 7.9 — trailing only Thomas (8.3).\n\n\n\nPart of Clark’s appeal is her antagonistic style.\n\n\n\nHowever, there can be a price to pay: She has drawn five technical fouls this season, the most recent coming June 22 against Phoenix when she started clapping after a heated exchange with Mercury forward and former Fever teammate DeWanna Bonner, who also is Black. Booner and Thomas are engaged.\n\n\n\nPlayers receive a one-game suspension when they reach eight technicals and Clark told reporters in that postgame news conference someone should pick a date for her suspension if clapping results in a technical foul.\n\n\n\nAll-Star center Aliyah Boston, who wants to ensure Clark stays on the court, said on her “Post Moves” podcast that she told her teammate: “We’re done. We’re done clapping. There’s no more claps. There’s nothing else to clap about.”\n\n\n\nIt’s more likely, though, that Clark and her fans will continue clapping — and her critics will keep clapping back.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/wnba/congress-letter-fouls-caitlin-clark/4047490/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Michael Marot | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-09T21:28:17.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FUSATSI_29269661.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1576%2C1051","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"congress-sends-letter-to-wnba-regarding-fouls-against-caitlin-clark"},{"id":"7nki2k","title":"Why George W.

The shooting on Tuesday in a heavily Hispanic neighborhood is at least the eighth death during the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement campaign.\n\n\n\nThe Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, said federal officers were looking for someone they had targeted weeks before when they attempted to stop a vehicle driven by Salgado Araujo. In a statement, DHS said Salgado Araujo rammed an ICE vehicle and that a federal officer fired a weapon in self-defense.\n\n\n\nSalgado Araujo’s family said he had nearly finished the long process of obtaining legal status in the U.S. after living in the country for 35 years, and that he knew what to do if approached by ICE officers. Ronaldo Salgado, his son, said his father may have been scared that the people in unmarked vehicles were coming to steal his work tools.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHere’s what we know about Salgado Araujo’s shooting:\n\n\n\nThe shooting happened on a Houston street\n\n\n\nFew photos or video surrounding the shooting in Houston have emerged on social media, unlike other deaths involving federal immigration officers.\n\n\n\nDHS said weeks before the shooting, agents investigating a tip saw two white vans at the address of a target. While heading to that address Tuesday, officers saw a white van and someone inside who resembled the person they were looking for, the department said in a statement.\n\n\n\nDHS said an officer opened fire after Salgado Araujo ignored commands and attempted to ram the officer with his vehicle. The agency has not released any video or photos.\n\n\n\nA video shot by bystander Juliet Martinez shows the aftermath of the shooting. A black vehicle is angled toward a white van, their doors wide open. A bleeding and handcuffed man groans loudly on the ground and his leg shakes. Other federal officers stand over at least three other handcuffed men.\n\n\n\nICE has not released the names of the other men detained, but Salgado Araujo’s family identified one as his brother. Families of the other two men said they were able to briefly talk to them Wednesday and they are being detained.\n\n\n\nICE said Thursday that the officers involved in the shooting were not wearing body cameras. They have not said if agents were specifically targeting Salgado Araujo or whether the officers involved are on leave.\n\n\n\nCandles are lit during a vigil for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national fatally shot by a federal immigration agent a day prior, Wednesday, July 8, 2026, in Houston. (AP Photo/Mark Felix)\n\n\n\nSalgado Araujo’s family says he worked hard for the American dream\n\n\n\nSalgado Araujo and his wife came to America after meeting in their teens in Mexico and deciding they wanted a better life for their future family, Ronaldo Salgado said.\n\n\n\nThe father of three built houses in the Houston suburbs, started his own business and established his own crew. He had no criminal record, his family said.\n\n\n\nRonaldo Salgado, the oldest son, became a teacher. He said one of his brothers is an engineer and the other is studying engineering in college.\n\n\n\nHis son said he was a quiet man who left for work at sunrise and loved to pet his dog and sit on his porch listening to music.\n\n\n\n“That’s how I want the world to know my father. Not as someone who got shot and killed, but as a family man, a man who understood that good things come to those who put in hard work,” Salgado said.\n\n\n\nAt least 8 deaths so far in the immigration crackdown\n\n\n\nSalgado Araujo was at least the eighth person to die during the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement campaign. No immigration officers have been charged in the deaths and video footage in several previous shootings contradicts the accounts of federal officers.\n\n\n\nThe most well-known of the killings happened during the winter crackdown in Minnesota where U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti were shot and killed during protests.\n\n\n\nTwo other shooting deaths happened during traffic stops, including Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, who was killed in Texas in March 2025. His death was not disclosed for nearly a year.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImmigration\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 7\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tU.S. illegally shared confidential info on asylum seekers with Iran, lawsuit alleges\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImmigration\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 3\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tICE arrests 10,000 in 5 days, a sharp late-June surge in Trump's deportation push\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nMexico wants criminal charges over deaths of its citizens\n\n\n\nPresident Claudia Sheinbaum said it is time to escalate Mexico’s complaints beyond diplomatic channels after the killing of Salgado Araujo.\n\n\n\n“We are going to do everything in our power, because we cannot stand silent” in the face of the deaths of Mexicans “whose only crime is working honestly in the United States,” Sheinbaum said.\n\n\n\nMexico will request that criminal charges be filed in U.S. courts over the alleged killing of three Mexicans during ICE operations and the deaths of another 14 in ICE custody, Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco said Thursday during a presidential press conference.\n\n\n\nThe complaints, filed against whoever is found responsible for the deaths, will be submitted to state prosecutor offices and the U.S. Department of Justice.\n\n\n\nDHS is investigating the shooting\n\n\n\nHomeland Security said Tuesday that the department’s Inspector General’s office was investigating the shooting.\n\n\n\nHarris County District Attorney Sean Teare said Salgado Araujo’s family and the community deserve the truth. His office said Thursday that they are “pursuing investigative avenues available to us and will conduct a review of any information we collect within our reach.”\n\n\n\nHouston Mayor John Whitmire said city police were not involved in any part of the chase or shooting and have no jurisdiction over federal officers.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/houston-ice-shooting/4047467/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Lekan Oyekanmi, Jack Brook and Jeffrey Collins | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-09T20:25:08.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26189576455034-e1783644974571.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3069%2C1730","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"what-we-know-about-the-fatal-shooting-of-a-man-by-an-ice-officer-in-houston"},{"id":"loeopk","title":"Meta's new AI image generator may use your Instagram photos.

Branch, director of AI policy at Public Citizen, a nonprofit consumer advocacy organization.\n\n\n\nAnother concern is that any adult with a public Instagram account was automatically opted in.\n\n\n\nUsers can either set their account to private to protect their content or opt out by changing their account settings if they wish to remain public.

Officials have said the group members harbored fringe conspiracy theories and hoped the attack would destabilize the government.\n\n\n\nOne of the defendants told investigators that they planned to fly explosive-laden drones into the event and then shoot panicked crowd members as they fled, according to a federal affidavit.\n\n\n\nTycen C. Proper 19, of Danville, Ohio, and four others were arrested and charged in Missouri, Nebraska and California the weekend of the cage-fighting event, called Freedom 250. Two more defendants were charged and arrested by the FBI about a week later in Washington and Missouri.\n\n\n\nThe Justice Department said an eighth man was charged this week. He is 21-year-old Chandler D. Scaggs, of Chapmanville, West Virginia, who was taken into custody in that state. Scaggs was allegedly assigned to be one of the snipers in the plotted attack, according to an affidavit.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUFC\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 15\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUFC boss Dana White says ‘never again' to another White House fight night\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhite House\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 15\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUFC fighter calls Michelle Obama ‘a man' after winning bout at White House\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nThe affidavit said Scaggs was apparently to be picked up by Proper and taken to Washington but lost contact with him after Proper was arrested, the same as the others.

He had also worked for a time in neighboring Chile. \n\n\n\nOn Saturday, according to the TN account, Bertazzo arrived that the school in the Córdoba suburb of Coronel Olmedo. He greeted his coworkers and then set off on the first training flight of the day, which went smoothly.\n\n\n\nThe second flight on his schedule was with Rosario, who has a pilot’s license but had not logged enough flying hours to pilot a plane by herself.\n\n\n\nIt was while flying over a mostly rural area called Toledo that Bertazzo suddenly shoved open the plane door — a maneuver Álvarez likened to opening the door of a car traveling 124 miles per hour.\n\n\n\nÁlvarez said that after the student successfully landed the Cessna he took off to look for Bertazzo’s body. After spotting it from the sky, he said he radioed officers from the Central Rural Patrol the coordinates and they found his remains.\n\n\n\nBertazzo was “a beautiful person with a great smile,” said Álvarez. “We are surprised that this has happened.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or chat live at 988lifeline.org.

It’s July 10, or this Friday, according to a post published earlier this year on the IRS National Taxpayer Advocate blog.\n\n\n\nFortunately for people filing claims last minute, it recently became possible to submit the appropriate form online through the IRS website. Previously, the forms had to be mailed in.\n\n\n\nHere’s what to know about claiming your potential COVID tax refund or abatement.\n\n\n\nWhat is the COVID tax refund?\n\n\n\nDuring the COVID-19 federal disaster period — which lasted from Jan. 20, 2020, to July 10, 2023 — the government eased up on many tax rules and paused many deadlines. But many people still payed fees for filing late, interest to the government or penalties for not making estimated payments, or have been told they owe money.\n\n\n\n“By the court’s logic, the IRS should not have assessed penalties for late filing or payment during that 3.5-year period, nor charged interest on those amounts,” the NTA explained.\n\n\n\nAs a result, millions of Americans may be owed money by the IRS or should have their payments changed.\n\n\n\nWho qualifies for a COVID refund from the IRS?\n\n\n\nAccording to the NTA, anyone assessed for the following types of payments during the COVID-19 federal disaster should receive an abatement or refund:\n\n\n\n\n“Penalties for failure to timely file returns, failure to pay taxes, or failure to make estimated tax payments”\n\n\n\n“Interest that began accruing earlier than it should have, or not at all”\n\n\n\n“Overpayment interest for the 2020–2023 disaster period”\n\n\n\n\nThe Taxpayer Advocate Service estimates that this applies to tens of millions of Americans. This includes “individuals, small businesses, large corporations, estates, and trusts.”\n\n\n\nThe payments that could be refunded or abated apply to “income, employment, estate, gift, and excise taxes,” the NTA explained.\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to file a claim for a COVID tax refund\n\n\n\nThe IRS doesn’t usually issue refunds unless a taxpayer has filed a claim. The relevant form for this claim is Form 843, Claim for Refund and Request for Abatement.\n\n\n\nOnline\n\n\n\nThe form can be filled out online through the IRS’ “mobile-friendly forms” tool. To do so, you need to make an online IRS account. You should have scans of the necessary documents ready to go. You’ll know your submission was successful when you receive a message confirming submission and a link to download it, per the IRS.\n\n\n\nMail\n\n\n\nIf you go the physical form route, the NTA recommends sending it by certified mail so you can prove you submitted it by the deadline.\n\n\n\nWhen you are filling out the form, the NTA says to “write ‘Protective Refund Claim Pursuant to Kwong Case’ or something similar across the top and fill in as much detail as possible.”\n\n\n\nYou can fill out the form for a refund of an amount you already paid or an abatement of a payment you’ve been told by the IRS that you owe.\n\n\n\nWhen is the deadline for the IRS COVID refund?\n\n\n\nThe NTA notes that “generally, taxpayers will need to file the form by July 10, 2026.”\n\n\n\n“The taxpayer must generally file their claim within three years from the date they filed their tax return or two years from the date they paid their tax,” the blog post explains.\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

James Talarico raised $30 million during the April, May and June reporting period, while Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton raised $9 million. According to the campaigns, both reported their strongest fundraising totals of the race so far.\n\n\n\nAt the same time, Paxton is facing scrutiny following a report by ProPublica and The Texas Tribune examining where he voted in six elections over the past two years. The report said Paxton voted using a Collin County address where he owns a home with his wife while apparently living in neighboring Denton County with his girlfriend.\n\n\n\nCritics have alleged the situation amounts to voter fraud.\n\n\n\nPaxton’s campaign rejected those claims, calling the report “baseless” and saying Paxton “is a lawful, registered Texas voter in full compliance with the law.”\n\n\n\nTalarico referenced that issue Thursday while also criticizing a plea agreement reached by the Texas Attorney General’s Office in a child sexual abuse case.\n\n\n\n“Texans deserve answers. Texans deserve transparency. And it’s why we’re going to keep fighting to get those questions answered after a pedophile was let back on the street after just 29 days in jail,” Talarico said.\n\n\n\nTalarico is also working to unify Democrats after a competitive primary.\n\n\n\nU.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who backed another candidate during the primary, recently addressed criticism that she has not actively campaigned with Talarico.\n\n\n\n“People keep trying to say that Jasmine has to go and hold his hand, no. I don’t. Don’t worry about the math and how it works in my mind. Because the reality is if you can give people more than one thing to vote for, then you have a better chance to get them out to the polls,” Crockett said on the Native Land podcast.\n\n\n\nTalarico has said he is continuing to reach out to Black voters and Crockett supporters as the general election campaign ramps up.\n\n\n\nThe campaigns are expected to file additional finance reports by July 15, which will identify their largest donors.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/politics/lone-star-politics/texas-senate-race-new-phase-fundraising/4047348/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Phil Prazan","publishDate":"2026-07-09T16:33:51.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fimage-18.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1875%2C1057","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"texas-senate-race-enters-new-phase-with-fundraising"},{"id":"l61yze","title":"Indiana man accused of cutting off genitals, using them to set fire in mother's garage","excerpt":"A man from Indiana is facing a felony charge after he allegedly cut off his genitals and used the dismembered organ to start a garage fire, authorities said.\n\n\n\nChristopher Peden, a 36-year-old man from Fort Wayne, Indiana, is facing one count of felony arson that stems from a fire he allegedly s...","content":"A man from Indiana is facing a felony charge after he allegedly cut off his genitals and used the dismembered organ to start a garage fire, authorities said.\n\n\n\nChristopher Peden, a 36-year-old man from Fort Wayne, Indiana, is facing one count of felony arson that stems from a fire he allegedly set in his mother’s garage on May 6, according to court documents. \n\n\n\nFort Wayne firefighters were dispatched to the garage fire around the same time that local police were called to a report of a stabbing, according to court documents. \n\n\n\nThough Peden first told authorities at the scene that he was stabbed while downtown and that he had been threatened by someone the day prior, he later told an officer while at a hospital that he went into the garage around 2 a.m. and used a kitchen knife to cut off his genitals, according to court documents. \n\n\n\nAfter cutting off his genitals, Peden said he then poured gasoline on the organ and set it on fire before leaving the garage. \n\n\n\nA gasoline container, four lighters and a kitchen knife were found by fire investigators at the scene. \n\n\n\nPeden’s brother, who lives at their mother’s house where the fire was started, said he was woken up by neighbors who had come over to tell them about the fire, court documents said.

He said he was “nowhere near” Arizona when Sheets died.\n\n\n\nHe then told police he had been receiving death threats and refused to answer more questions, according to the report.\n\n\n\nPolice also spoke to Sheets’ girlfriend, who told officials that she interacted with him shortly before his death.\n\n\n\nThat night, after dinner, she said he was sitting in the garage and was texting his daughter-in-law, who told him that his girlfriend was “suspicious and that she was stealing money from” him.\n\n\n\nHis girlfriend told police he “was sad and upset” about the messages.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGrapevine\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 9\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHistoric aviator Wally Funk dies at the age of 87\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMusic & Musicians\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 9\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBonnie Tyler, known for hit song ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart,' has died at 75\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nShe told police she then left to pick up Sheets’ granddaughter from work at around 8 p.m. When she returned, she said, Sheets was in bed.\n\n\n\nLater that night, she said, he got out of bed, waking his girlfriend. She went to look for him and found him in his office with what she believed to be a gun held to his head. She said he was crying and that he yelled at her to go back to bed.\n\n\n\nShe told police that she immediately thought “he was going to shoot himself.”\n\n\n\nShe said she tried to plead with him while backing away. She then said she heard one gunshot and called 911.\n\n\n\nIn a later interview with police, she said Sheets had been having trouble sleeping and that he was stressed out because he was “dealing with some issues with a male slandering his name.”\n\n\n\nShe also said Sheets and his son had “verbally fought over ‘family drama’” during a recent visit, which left Sheets “devastated.”\n\n\n\nSheets, originally from California, made a name for himself on the hit reality series “Storage Wars” as a regular cast member since its 2010 debut. On the show, he was known as “the gambler” for his ventures into risky auction bids.\n\n\n\nThe show is still on the air and follows teams of bidders who are on the hunt for abandoned and repurposed storage units that might hold items of value.\n\n\n\nSome of Sheets’ former “Storage Wars” co-stars shared messages on Instagram shortly after his death.\n\n\n\nBrandi Passante said she was “so very sorry, to hear the circumstances of his passing.”\n\n\n\n“I unfortunately lost a parent and a brother to similar situations,” she said in a post. “I would like to say to everyone, if you are struggling, if you feel hopeless or like no one cares. I assure you they do!! You are not alone.”\n\n\n\nRene Nezhoda called him a “very hard worker” who “cared more than anyone I’ve ever met about his family.”\n\n\n\n“He had a guy really, really tormenting him lately with cyberbullying,” Nezhoda said in a video. “You shouldn’t cyberbully at all. … Because you never know what demons somebody faces and what they go through and what you might push them through.”\n\n\n\nNezhoda in the video also encouraged law enforcement to look into the alleged cyberbully.\n\n\n\nPassante and Nezhoda did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Thursday.\n\n\n\nAccording to Sheets’ bio on A&E — the network that airs the show — he was once known for pursuing the “big hit,” accumulating four Picasso pieces over the years at storage auctions. But he eventually moved away from collecting, the bio said, finding greater pride in the adventure itself.\n\n\n\nCristian Santana contributed.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or chat live at 988lifeline.org.

Love Freeway.\n\n\n\nDallas Police told NBC 5 the officer was stopped at about 3:52 p.m. in the 6200 block of northbound U.S. Highway 67 for a traffic stop and was standing outside their police car when a passing vehicle struck both the officer and the patrol vehicle.\n\n\n\nThe department said the officer was taken to the hospital for a precautionary evaluation. The driver of the vehicle that struck the police car was also hospitalized. The conditions of both patients were unknown.\n\n\n\nNo other injuries have been reported.\n\n\n\nNBC 5’s Texas Sky Ranger flew over the scene Wednesday afternoon and spotted at least four damaged vehicles, including a Dallas police SUV, a blue sedan on its side, and two other midsize SUVs being loaded onto a tow truck.\n\n\n\nThe investigation into the crash is ongoing, and it is unclear whether the vehicle stopped by the police was involved in the collision. \n\n\n\nTraffic in the northbound lanes between Red Bird Lane and Hampton Road were backed up south of Interstate 20 to Cockrell Hill Road.\n\n\n\nThis is the second incident this week where a driver crashed into a police vehicle in North Texas. On Sunday, a Kaufman County sheriff’s deputy and a Forney police officer escaped serious injury when a passing vehicle slammed into the officer’s patrol car while they were working a call on a freeway.\n\n\n\nIn that incident, Kaufman County officials said the crash served as a stark reminder of the state’s Move Over or Slow Down law, which requires drivers to move over or slow down for stopped emergency vehicles.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/dallas-police-officer-hospitalized-after-being-hit-by-passing-vehicle-during-a-traffic-stop/4046715/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Frank Heinz","publishDate":"2026-07-08T17:40:27.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fus67-mdl-dpd-crash-070826.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1875%2C1057","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dallas-police-officer-hit-by-vehicle-during-a-traffic-stop-nb-us-67-reopened"},{"id":"bwrv0e","title":"Salvation Army activates heat relief efforts across North Texas","excerpt":"With North Texas experiencing its first 100-degree day of the summer, The Salvation Army of North Texas has activated a region-wide heat relief response aimed at helping vulnerable residents stay safe during the dangerous temperatures.\n\n\n\nVolunteers with The Salvation Army and Reliant gathered We...","content":"With North Texas experiencing its first 100-degree day of the summer, The Salvation Army of North Texas has activated a region-wide heat relief response aimed at helping vulnerable residents stay safe during the dangerous temperatures.\n\n\n\nVolunteers with The Salvation Army and Reliant gathered Wednesday morning at the Carr P. Collins Social Service Center in Dallas to distribute box fans, bottled water, and other supplies to residents during the organization’s regular summer food distribution event.\n\n\n\nThe distribution effort is part of a broader heat relief program that has now expanded across five North Texas counties as temperatures climb into the triple digits.\n\n\n\nThe Salvation Army has opened 13 cooling and hydration stations throughout Dallas, Tarrant, Denton, Collin and Ellis counties, providing relief for anyone needing a place to cool down, access drinking water or receive support during the heat wave.\n\n\n\nThe network is typically activated when temperatures are forecast to reach 100 degrees or higher, usually for more than one day, or when the heat index is expected to exceed 105 degrees for at least two consecutive days.\n\n\n\nAmong those visiting the distribution site Wednesday was Dallas resident Agapito Villalobos, who said staying cool at home can be a daily challenge.\n\n\n\n“I lay still most of the day because it does get hot even though we got an air conditioner and a couple of fans,” Villalobos said. “It’s just the heat comes through the ceiling because I don’t have the money to fix it.”\n\n\n\nSalvation Army leaders say stories like Villalobos’ are common during periods of extreme heat, when many households are forced to make difficult financial decisions.\n\n\n\n“We do know that many times there has to be a choice,” said Capt. Armando Acosta of The Salvation Army of North Texas. “Many times, it’s either you pay the bill, or you pay the rent, or you just shut off all your AC and everything in your house because you’ve got to make ends meet. And that’s where we step in. We let them know you can come. We have utility assistance.”\n\n\n\nIn addition to cooling centers and hydration stations, The Salvation Army is offering utility assistance for qualifying families and individuals who may be struggling to keep up with rising summer electricity bills.\n\n\n\nTo reach out for utility assistance, fill out the form or call the numbers at this link.\n\n\n\nAccording to the organization, DFW recorded seven days of 100-degree temperatures in 2025. Combined with a warmer-than-average spring and forecasts for a hotter-than-normal summer, officials say the need for heat relief services could be significant this year.\n\n\n\nMajor Rob Webb, Area Commander of The Salvation Army of North Texas, said the organization’s goal is not only to provide immediate relief during dangerous weather events but also connect people with resources that can help them long-term.\n\n\n\n“We are dedicated to providing our most vulnerable neighbors with the resources they need to have relief from the extreme heat,” Webb said. “Our reach expands beyond the initial heat relief services as we open our doors to reach as many people as we can and offer programs and services for these individuals to have long-term success year-round.”\n\n\n\nData shows extreme heat is the leading cause of weather-related deaths in the United States. Vulnerable populations include seniors, people experiencing homelessness, individuals with chronic medical conditions, and families facing financial hardship, who are often most at risk.\n\n\n\nCooling and Hydration Station Locations\n\n\n\nThe Salvation Army has activated the following locations across North Texas:\n\n\n\nDallas County\n\n\n\n\nGarland Corps Community Center\n\n\n\nIrving Corps Community Center\n\n\n\nOak Cliff Corps Community Center\n\n\n\nPleasant Grove Corps Community Center\n\n\n\nCarr P.

The goal made Musa the first active FC Dallas player to score at a FIFA World Cup. \n\n\n\nThe MLS All-Star game is an interleague game with Liga MX All-Stars. Liga MX is the MLS equivalent in Mexico.\n\n\n\nMusa has scored 12 MLS goals this season, most recently finding the net in FC Dallas’ 3-2 road victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on May 16. He is tied with Kenny Cooper for third on the club’s all-time scoring list with 46 goals and currently sits tied for second in the MLS Golden Boot race alongside Lionel Messi. The Croatian forward has recorded three multi-goal matches this season and six in his FC Dallas career, tying Cooper and Roland Lamah for the fourth-most in club history.\n\n\n\nMessi is also on the All-Star roster. He’s won back-to-back MLS MVP awards and also has 8 assists to go along with his 12 goals.\n\n\n\nMusa scored his second career hat trick on March 16 against San Diego FC, becoming the first player in FC Dallas history to record multiple hat tricks for the club. The performance marked the 12th hat trick in club history and earned him MLS Player of the Matchday honors for Matchday 4, the second time he has received the award.\n\n\n\nIn 2025, Musa tied Jason Kreis for the most goals scored by an FC Dallas player in a single season with 19 across all competitions. FC Dallas acquired Musa ahead of the 2024 season in the largest transfer in club history.\n\n\n\nBefore joining FC Dallas, Musa played in Portugal, Germany, and the Czech Republic.\n\n\n\nA native of Zagreb, Croatia, Musa has earned 13 senior international caps. He made his debut in a 1-1 draw against Wales during UEFA European Championship qualifying in 2023. Musa received his first call-up of 2026 during the March FIFA international window, when Croatia faced Colombia and Brazil in friendlies. He also scored his first senior international goal in a 3-1 win over the Faroe Islands in 2025, and recorded an assist against Montenegro three days later. Musa also represented Croatia at youth levels, making a combined 14 appearances.\n\n\n\nMLS All-Star starters were selected through a combination of fan, player, and media voting and announced last month. The 16 coach selections were a collaborative effort by MLS All-Star head coach Dean Smith and Major League Soccer. Two selections were made by MLS Commissioner Don Garber.\n\n\n\nOther recognizable names on the All-Star roster include USMNT players Matt Freese, Max Arfsten, Tim Ream, and Sebastian Berhalter. As well as international stars like Germany’s Thomas Müller and South Korea’s Son Heung-Min.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is Son’s first full MLS season, and he’s got a league-high nine assists. Müller is making his MLS All-Star debut; he won 35 trophies across his career at Bayern Munich and the 2014 World Cup. \n\n\n\nThomas Muller (R) of Bayern Munich is being followed by Son Heung-Min (L) of Tottenham Hotspur during the VisitMalta Cup soccer match between Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, United Kingdom, on August 10, 2024.

Ream was captain of the USMNT, which ended the World Cup with a disappointing 4-1 loss to Belgium. Freese started at goalkeeper for the USMNT; he was second in MLS Goalkeeper of the Year voting last season. Arfsten is making his second straight appearance; he made the USMNT roster but played sparingly. \n\n\n\nSoccer Football – FIFA World Cup 2026 – Round of 16 – United States v Belgium – Seattle Stadium, Seattle, Washington, U.S. – July 6, 2026 Sebastian Berhalter and Tim Ream of the U.S. look dejected after the match as U.S. are eliminated from the World Cup REUTERS/Lee Smith\n\n\n\nThe MLS season is on break until the World Cup semis end.\n\n\n\nTickets for the MLS All-Star Game presented by Chime and the MLS All-Star Skills Challenge presented by AT&T are on sale. \nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/fc-dallas-striker-petar-musa-named-mls-all-star/4046443/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-07-08T10:25:19.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2024%2F06%2FFC-Dallas-Petar-Musa.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"fc-dallas-striker-petar-musa-named-mls-all-star"},{"id":"4wg41y","title":"FFA students head to Fort Worth for annual state convention","excerpt":"More than 16,000 members of the Texas Future Farmers of America Association and guests are in Fort Worth this week for their annual convention.\n\n\n\nYou won’t miss ’em.

TWU is working to change that outcome through the FAST Academy and its year-round Frontiers program, which has supported students with foster care backgrounds for more than 15 years.\n\n\n\nThe success of the program at Texas Woman’s spurred the creation of a statewide hub to help foster care youth navigate the college-going process.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/something-good/program-puts-former-foster-care-youth-on-path-to-college/4046330/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Deborah Ferguson","publishDate":"2026-07-08T06:40:39.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fposter-frame-1783511366069.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"program-puts-former-foster-care-youth-on-path-to-college"},{"id":"68nfmy","title":"2 Dallas clinics offer free dermatology services Wednesday for uninsured patients","excerpt":"Have you been putting off getting that questionable mole checked out?

The DA’s office said they targeted hundreds of unsuspecting shoppers across North Texas.\n\n\n\n“Following an investigation by the Texas Financial Crimes Intelligence Center (TX FCIC), the Dallas County Criminal District Attorney’s Office successfully prosecuted the case, securing significant prison sentences for the defendants, who stole the financial information of at least 783 victims,” the DA’s office reported in a press release July 6.\n\n\n\nGheorge-Ciprian Hilitanu, Victor Tecu and Ionut Firan-Alexandrau each pleaded guilty to multiple felonies stemming from the financial fraud scheme targeting customers at CVS and Walgreens stores across North Texas during July 2025. The Dallas County DA’s office said they installed the devices on payment terminals.\n\n\n\nAccording to the District Attorney, they then created counterfeit cards or made unauthorized purchases with the victim’s financial information.\n\n\n\n“Financial crimes like these affect everyday people who are simply going about their lives,” Dallas County Criminal District Attorney John Creuzot said. “The defendants in this case operated a sophisticated criminal enterprise that victimized hundreds of people across North Texas. These significant prison sentences reflect the serious harm caused by organized financial crime and demonstrate our commitment to holding those who exploit hardworking Texans fully accountable.” \n\n\n\nInvestigators said after their initial arrest, they searched an Airbnb where the group was staying. There they found More than 150 skimming devices. 237 re-encoded gift cards containing stolen account information. 25 fake international I.D. cards and passports with multiple identities. They also had equipment used to manufacture counterfeit payment cards.\n\n\n\nOn June 25, 2026, Hilitanu entered a guilty plea, to which he was sentenced to 30 years in prison for engaging in organized criminal activity and fraudulent possession or use of a credit or debit card. Along with 20 years in prison for tampering with a governmental record and unlawful use of a wire or electronic communication. On June 29, 2026, Tecu and Firan-Alexandrau each pleaded guilty and were sentenced to 20 years in prison on all cases.\n\n\n\nThe DA’s office also said this case is a reminder to always inspect card readers before using them, cover the keypad when entering your PIN, and monitor your bank accounts for suspicious activity.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/3-people-sentenced-in-organized-credit-card-skimming-ring/4046281/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Laura Harris","publishDate":"2026-07-08T05:10:31.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FSKIMMER-BUST.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2000%2C1333","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"3-people-sentenced-in-north-texas-organized-credit-card-skimming-ring"},{"id":"xejhd9","title":"John Deere owners will get the right to repair their own equipment under a new FTC settlement","excerpt":"It looks like John Deere owners can soon feel free to fix their own machines.\n\n\n\nThe Federal Trade Commission and attorneys general from several states secured a right-to-repair settlement Wednesday with agriculture equipment giant Deere & Co. — commonly known as John Deere — that requires the co...","content":"It looks like John Deere owners can soon feel free to fix their own machines.\n\n\n\nThe Federal Trade Commission and attorneys general from several states secured a right-to-repair settlement Wednesday with agriculture equipment giant Deere & Co. — commonly known as John Deere — that requires the company to let farmers and independent shops fix their own equipment.\n\n\n\nThe Illinois-based manufacturer has faced complaints for years for withholding the software needed for repairs and forcing customers to use authorized dealers instead of independent ones. \n\n\n\nThis marks the second right-to-repair settlement Deere has reached this year, following a separate $99 million class-action settlement with farmers in April. Though the class-action compensated consumers, the FTC’s settlement instead requires Deere to make its repair services available to equipment owners and independent shops.\n\n\n\nThe FTC and attorneys general from Arizona, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin brought the antitrust lawsuit in January 2025, arguing that Deere had illegally restricted farmers and independent shops that might otherwise service them from repairing farm equipment such as tractors. Deere also makes engines and equipment for forestry, landscaping and construction.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRecalls\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSep 26, 2024\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJohn Deere recalls utility tractors for crash hazard.

It also prevents Deere dealers from retaliating against equipment owners or repair shops who choose to fix their own equipment instead of paying for Deere’s services. The order is headed to Judge Iain D. Johnston for his approval.\n\n\n\n“For too long, Arizona farmers and independent mechanics have been at the mercy of Deere’s monopoly over repair tools, forced to wait — and pay — for authorized dealers just to fix broken tractors and other equipment,” Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a statement Wednesday.\n\n\n\nDeere must pay $1 million collectively to the five states for antitrust enforcement costs and will be subject to strict compliance oversight for the next 10 years.\n\n\n\nIn the complaint, the FTC argued that Deere provides a service software tool to authorized dealers but does not provide the full version to equipment owners or independent shops. Deere had said the lawsuit was baseless, denied that its distribution of service tools was anticompetitive and argued that it could not monopolize services since it does not directly provide them.\n\n\n\nDeere maintained its commitment to independent repair in a statement Wednesday, adding that the agreement with the FTC reinforces its innovation of more flexible repair options.\n\n\n\n“This is good news for our customers and for the future of how Deere equipment is supported,” said Denver Caldwell, vice president of aftermarket and customer support.\n\n\n\nRight-to-repair has become an increasingly common issue over the years, especially for tech products, with consumers complaining that even simple repairs can only be done by company-authorized dealers.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/john-deere-owners-right-to-repair-own-equipment-new-ftc-settlement/4047244/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Sarah Raza | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-09T14:45:19.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26189791155782.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D8640%2C5760","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"john-deere-owners-will-get-the-right-to-repair-their-own-equipment-under-a-new-ftc-settlement"},{"id":"t16huj","title":"2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 16 wraps up Tuesday with Messi and Salah","excerpt":"The 2026 FIFA World Cup comes to a close in less than two weeks.

Tuesday is the end of the Round of 16. Argentina plays Egypt in Atlanta at 11 a.m. CST. Colombia plays Switzerland at 3 p.m. in Vancouver. The winners are headed to a Saturday night quarterfinal in Kansas City against each other. All four teams playing today have not lost in the 2026 tournament.\n\n\n\nArgentina and Egypt are the most decorated nations in modern South American and African football, respectively. Brazil’s five World Cups are hard to beat, but most of their success happened before Lionel Messi arrived as one of the greats of global football.\n\n\n\nMessi is still tied for the lead in the Golden Boot race with seven. Argentina has reached the Round of 16 in every tournament since 2002.\n\n\n\nEgypt had to battle to make it out of Group G, and their penalty-kick win over Australia at Dallas Stadium last week was even tougher. It was Egypt’s first knockout round win ever.\n\n\n\nEgypt’s captain, Mohamed Salah, has had quite the tournament of his own. Salah scored a penalty in that win over Australia. He also has 2 World Cup assists and a goal against New Zealand in the group stage. He was also a part of a meeting with Dallas police where they apologized for an incident at Egypt’s hotel in Dallas.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe two nations have only met twice before. Argentina won a 2008 friendly 2-0; the prior contest was a 6-0 Argentina win at the 1928 Olympics, the last tournament before the World Cup started.\n\n\n\nColombia has only conceded one goal in the tournament, second to only Spain who has yet to concede at all in five games.\n\n\n\nSwitzerland won Group B to send Canada to the United States for its knockout-round games. Switzerland has not reached a quarterfinal since 1954.\n\n\n\nColombia and Switzerland met at the 1994 World Cup at Stanford Stadium near Palo Alto, CA. Colombia won the game but finished bottom of the group, while Switzerland progressed to the knockouts. Team USA was also in that group and advanced.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe World Cup only has one more day with two games: Saturday, July 11. Norway and England play at 4 p.m. CST in Miami, ahead of the Kansas City quarterfinal that will feature two of the four teams above.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/2026-fifa-world-cup-round-of-16-wraps-up-tuesday-with-messi-and-salah/4045744/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-07-07T08:57:34.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2284647755.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D6000%2C4000","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"2026-fifa-world-cup-round-of-16-wraps-up-tuesday-with-messi-and-salah"},{"id":"6ls9p8","title":"Tennessee double-homicide suspect arrested by Border Patrol in Texas","excerpt":"A man wanted in connection with a double homicide in Tennessee was arrested by Border Patrol in Texas this week.","content":"A man wanted in connection with a double homicide in Tennessee was arrested by Border Patrol in Texas this week.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/tennessee-double-homicide-suspect-arrested-border-patrol-texas","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Aaron.Barker@fox.com (Aaron Barker)","publishDate":"2026-07-10T22:20:39.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox7austin.com%2Fwww.fox7austin.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fbeltran-mug.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"inBriefing":true,"slug":"tennessee-double-homicide-suspect-arrested-by-border-patrol-in-texas"},{"id":"onc2l5","title":"Dallas condo fire leaves 45 people homeless","excerpt":"Dozens of condos in Far Northeast Dallas were destroyed by an overnight fire, leaving about 45 people homeless.","content":"Dozens of condos in Far Northeast Dallas were destroyed by an overnight fire, leaving about 45 people homeless.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/video/fmc-w1q2jp8g14f85o2w","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","publishDate":"2026-07-10T12:16:03.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic-media.fox.com%2Ffmcv3%2Fprod%2Ffts%2Fytlly329qyyc80ml%2Famwjyciunf1qtsbc.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dallas-condo-fire-leaves-45-people-homeless"},{"id":"ujyv2t","title":"Feds order driverless car companies to fix ‘pattern' of interfering with first responders","excerpt":"The head of the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is giving autonomous vehicle companies until the end of the month to fix a “disturbing trend” of driverless cars interfering with law enforcement and other first responders.\n\n\n\nIn a letter sent to the industry, NHTSA Administrato...","content":"The head of the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is giving autonomous vehicle companies until the end of the month to fix a “disturbing trend” of driverless cars interfering with law enforcement and other first responders.\n\n\n\nIn a letter sent to the industry, NHTSA Administrator Jonathan Morrison said the agency has documented multiple instances of AVs driving ​into active emergency scenes, blocking ​paths of ambulances and firefighters, and failing to “recognize and respond ⁠to basic safety conditions like flashing lights, flares, smoke, fire, and traffic ​cones.”\n\n\n\n“This is unacceptable. To state it bluntly: an AV that cannot safely interact with first responders is a danger to the general public,” Morrison said in the letter.\n\n\n\nMorrison noted that human drivers are subject to fines and even jail time if they were to impede an emergency vehicle, so when an AV disrupts first responders, “it ceases to be a minor software anomaly.”\n\n\n\n“Let me be clear: the inability to detect and appropriately respond to such ​situations represents a functional insufficiency,” Morrison said, adding that “emergency scenes are not rare or extreme ‘edge cases.'”\n\n\n\nThe NHTSA said it will schedule meetings with AV developers by the end of the month to hear their solutions.\n\n\n\nMorrison did not provide specific cases of AVs disrupting law enforcement, paramedics or firefighters and the NHTSA didn’t say which companies received the letter. \n\n\n\nHowever, Waymo — the largest operator of robotaxis in the U.S., with vehicles in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Phoenix and five other metropolitan markets — has had repeated issues with its robotaxis blocking traffic and impeding officials from responding to emergency calls.\n\n\n\n\nIn March, a driverless Waymo blocked an ambulance after a mass shooting in Austin and last month, one of the company’s vehicles partially blocked a route fire trucks were using to get to an apartment building ​fire in Dallas. In December, a Waymo drove through an active Los Angeles police traffic stop while officers had their guns drawn, NBC News reported.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWaymo, which is owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. \n\n\n\nThe directive comes as Telsa is set to roll out its robotaxis using automated software in several U.S. cities this year and plans to invite Tesla owners to put their cars into the fleet using the same system across the country.\n\n\n\nThe NHTSA has launched several investigations into Tesla, including one late last year into 58 incidents in which Teslas reportedly violated traffic safety laws while using self-driving technology, leading to more than a dozen crashes and fires and nearly two dozen injuries. The agency has also opened 46 special crash investigations involving Teslas using self-driving or driver-assistance technology over the past decade, according to the NHTSA’s records. The most recent of these came last month when a Tesla 3 using an automated driving feature slammed into a Texas home at high speed and killed a 76-year-old woman standing inside.\n\n\n\nTesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the NHTSA’s letter. Amazon’s Zoox, which operates robotaxis in parts of San Francisco and Las Vegas, also did not respond to a request for comment.\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/nhtsa-driverless-car-companies-fix-interfering-first-responders/4047080/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Danielle Abreu","publishDate":"2026-07-09T12:14:59.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2279499881.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3000%2C1920","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"feds-order-driverless-car-companies-to-fix-pattern-of-interfering-with-first-responders"},{"id":"ct17f8","title":"Judge declares mistrial in Johnson County Sheriff Adam King criminal case","excerpt":"A judge declared a mistrial Tuesday evening in the criminal trial of Johnson County Sheriff Adam King after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict.\n\n\n\nThe jury had been deliberating since Monday afternoon.

City officials expect that work to be completed this fall.\n\n\n\n“This is the painstaking task to preserve a piece of 19th-century Richardson,” the city said as crews carefully prepared the structure for its next phase of restoration.\n\n\n\nCity Manager Don Magner said preserving the home is about honoring the city’s history.\n\n\n\n“In Richardson, we like to talk about standing on the shoulders of those that came before us, and so preserving our history is really important to this community,” Magner said.\n\n\n\nAccording to the city, contractors are following strict preservation standards while repairing and sealing the wooden structure and repainting it using its original colors.\n\n\n\n“It is very tailored toward preserving the unique features of the building so that it can continue to be that historical landmark,” Magner said.\n\n\n\nBuilt between 1886 and 1889, the home is named after Virginia Belle, a teacher who operated a private school there for more than 40 years.\n\n\n\nOriginally located at the corner of Sherman and Kaufman streets, the house has been moved several times over the decades, including to the former Owens Spring Creek Farm. Its final three-mile move to Huffhines Park took place in October, when part of the structure was detached to allow for transport.\n\n\n\nFor Richardson resident Anita White, watching the restoration has been a reminder of the city’s past.\n\n\n\n“We’ve been watching them and every little thing though, is one step to get to reality,” White said.\n\n\n\nWhite grew up in Richardson and remembers the neighborhood where the home once stood.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I used to walk through the streets to go to football games after school at the time Richardson Junior High, so I remember these houses and even babysat for people in that neighborhood. I remember everything, and now it’s here, and it’s right here,” she said.\n\n\n\nThe city’s long-term vision is to restore the home’s interior to its original condition. Officials said they may seek sponsors or donors to help transform the property into an educational space and community event venue.\n\n\n\nMagner said plans also include improving the outdoor space surrounding the home.\n\n\n\n“We’re also going to be creating a very nice exterior yard so events can extend into that yard area,” he said.\n\n\n\nWhite said she’s eager to see the project continue.\n\n\n\n“We just can’t wait to see the progress,” she said.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/richardsons-oldest-home-restoration/4046084/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Maria Guerrero","publishDate":"2026-07-07T16:11:49.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FRichardson-historic-house.png%3Ffit%3D859%2C483%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"richardsons-oldest-home-reaches-major-milestone-in-restoration"},{"id":"ihfc83","title":"Syria set to be removed from US state sponsored terrorism list","excerpt":"The Trump administration is taking steps to amend one of the longest-running U.S. foreign policy designations by removing Syria from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list.","content":"The Trump administration is taking steps to amend one of the longest-running U.S. foreign policy designations by removing Syria from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/syria-set-be-removed-from-us-state-sponsored-terrorism-list","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Jason.Gunn@fox.com (Jason Gunn)","publishDate":"2026-07-09T14:53:55.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.livenowfox.com%2Fwww.livenowfox.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fgettyimages-2268524981-scaled.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"syria-set-to-be-removed-from-us-state-sponsored-terrorism-list"},{"id":"z5ygw9","title":"3-alarm Dallas condo fire displaces 45 residents","excerpt":"An overnight three-alarm fire at the Cambridge Park Condominiums near Audelia Road and Skillman Street in Far Northeast Dallas damaged 24 units and displaced 45 residents, though no injuries were reported.","content":"An overnight three-alarm fire at the Cambridge Park Condominiums near Audelia Road and Skillman Street in Far Northeast Dallas damaged 24 units and displaced 45 residents, though no injuries were reported.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/3-alarm-dallas-condo-fire-displaces-45-residents","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Payton.May@fox.com (Payton May)","publishDate":"2026-07-10T11:52:30.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fkdfwu20_8485_mxf_01.52.20.50.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"3-alarm-dallas-condo-fire-displaces-45-residents"},{"id":"th1t77","title":"Fort Worth H-E-B to remain closed Friday after fire in meat case","excerpt":"Firefighters say a blaze at a Fort Worth HEB has been contained, one that began in the store's meat department.","content":"Firefighters say a blaze at a Fort Worth HEB has been contained, one that began in the store's meat department.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/multi-alarm-fire-breaks-out-fort-worth-heb","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Carter.Freemon@fox.com (Carter Freemon)","publishDate":"2026-07-10T11:38:38.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fv-fw-heb-heritage-trace-fire-4a_00.00.02.00.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"fort-worth-h-e-b-to-remain-closed-friday-after-fire-in-meat-case"},{"id":"9rndy5","title":"What is cyclosporiasis, the ‘explosive diarrhea' parasite infection tied to produce?","excerpt":"More than a thousand Americans have fallen ill with a condition that can cause “explosive” diarrhea.

The culprit, the cyclospora parasite, triggers an unpleasant gastrointestinal infection known as cyclosporiasis.\n\n\n\nSome states have been more impacted by the parasite than others. As of Thursday, Michigan alone has confirmed nearly 1,000 cases so far, up from the average 50 cases it sees per year. New York on Wednesday confirmed 394 cases, 273 of which were in New York City alone.\n\n\n\nHere’s what to know about the bug and the best ways to protect yourself from days, or even months, of uncomfortable gastrointestinal symptoms.\n\n\n\nWhat are the symptoms of cyclosporiasis?\n\n\n\nThe parasite’s nickname comes from its main symptoms, which include watery diarrhea and sudden, frequent — sometimes explosive — bowel movements, according to the CDC.\n\n\n\nOther common symptoms include abdominal cramping, bloating, loss of appetite and flu-like symptoms like nausea and fatigue. \n\n\n\nThe symptoms typically begin one week after consuming the parasite. However, some infected individuals may not experience any symptoms at all.\n\n\n\nHow long does cyclosporiasis last?\n\n\n\nWith appropriate antibiotic treatment, most people start to feel better within one to two weeks.\n\n\n\nIf left untreated, the illness may last from a few days to over a month, the CDC says. Symptoms often follow a relapsing cycle where they appear to improve, then return.\n\n\n\nHow is cyclosporiasis transmitted?\n\n\n\nThe parasite is spread when people consume food or water contaminated with feces, most commonly fresh produce like leafy greens, berries and herbs that were grown in or washed with contaminated water.\n\n\n\nBecause the parasite can latch into the crevices of rough-surfaced produce, it can be difficult to clean off completely. To lower your risk of contracting cyclosporiasis, you should thoroughly wash all fresh fruits and vegetables, wash your hands before and after food preparation and avoid drinking untreated water.\n\n\n\nThe illness is highly unlikely to spread directly from person to person, the CDC says, since the parasite must spend one to two weeks in the environment to mature before it becomes infectious.\n\n\n\nWhat causes cyclosporiasis?\n\n\n\nThe illness is caused by cyclospora cayetanensis, a microscopic parasite that attacks the small intestine.\n\n\n\nWhen ingested through contaminated food or water, the parasite burrows into the intestinal walls to reproduce, destroying cells and triggering severe gastrointestinal distress.\n\n\n\nHow is cyclosporiasis treated?\n\n\n\nHealthcare providers typically clear the cyclospora parasite using a combination of antibiotics. These include trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, which is often sold under brand names like Bactrim and Septra.\n\n\n\nWhile cyclosporiasis can go away on its own for otherwise healthy people, it can take days to over a month to recover. It is common for symptoms to temporarily stop and then return, resulting in a prolonged illness.\n\n\n\nThe CDC recommends treatment and medical monitoring for immunocompromised individuals infected by the parasite, as symptoms can be severe and ongoing.\n\n\n\nFor those suffering from diarrhea, it’s important to rest and drink plenty of fluids, the CDC says.\n\n\n\nHealth agencies are actively investigating the exact sources of the illnesses, as there is currently no evidence of a single, nationwide outbreak linking all cases.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/explosive-diarrhea-parasite-what-to-know/4047085/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Katharine Lee","publishDate":"2026-07-09T11:35:51.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FStomach-pain-1463546435-Getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5092%2C3395","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"what-is-cyclosporiasis-the-explosive-diarrhea-parasite-infection-tied-to-produce"},{"id":"3fhvg1","title":"H-E-B in Fort Worth closed after catching fire","excerpt":"An H-E-B store in Fort Worth caught fire on Thursday.

(In fact, we’ve written many of them!)\n\n\n\nBut this one is different.\n\n\n\nThis list is for the parents who think outside the box. The parents who want their child to be the only one in school with their unique name. The parents who have no interest in their child’s name being on a magnet at a souvenir shop.\n\n\n\nThese are some of the rarest baby names in America.\n\n\n\nEach year, the Social Security Administration releases a list of names that American parents gave their babies in the previous year. In 2025, for the seventh year in a row, Olivia and Liam topped the list for girls and boys.\n\n\n\nTODAY.com took a look at the opposite end of the list … the least popular (and therefore most unique) baby names in America.\n\n\n\nAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 3,606,400 babies born in America in 2025. We decided to take a look at the list of names given to just five of those babies. And the list was long. In all, we reviewed 1,923 names given to boys and 2,356 names given to girls and we selected our top 249 favorites.\n\n\n\nWe found some commonalities in types of names:\n\n\n\n\nNature-inspired names: Birch, Falcon, Dandelion, Oceanna\n\n\n\nSurnames: Bingham, Connelly, Fitzwilliam, Thompson\n\n\n\nPlace names: Alaska, Atlantis, Etna, Kansas\n\n\n\nWhimsical names: Action, Danger, Itzy, Magic\n\n\n\nAdorable old-timey names: Barnaby, Heathcliff, Bess, Georgetta\n\n\n\n\nThere were two names that appear on both the girl and boy lists that we adore for either gender: Breslin and Jonesy. And the girls’ list contained a number of double names like Angelisa, Danilynn, Rubylou and Sarabeth.\n\n\n\nThe SSA began creating its baby name list back in 1997, which included names that dated back to 1880. The agency became an easy source for the most popular baby names since parents must share their child’s name with the SSA after they are born to apply for a Social Security number.\n\n\n\n110 of the rarest baby boy names in America\n\n\n\n\nAction\n\n\n\nAddam\n\n\n\nAlaska\n\n\n\nAlizah\n\n\n\nAmazing\n\n\n\nAndes\n\n\n\nAndrews\n\n\n\nArti\n\n\n\nAtlantis\n\n\n\nBarnaby\n\n\n\nBarney\n\n\n\nBecks\n\n\n\nBingham\n\n\n\nBirch\n\n\n\nBoomer\n\n\n\nBoon\n\n\n\nBradon\n\n\n\nBreslin\n\n\n\nBriton\n\n\n\nBubba\n\n\n\nCallon\n\n\n\nCarlson\n\n\n\nCesare\n\n\n\nChavez\n\n\n\nCicero\n\n\n\nClarkson\n\n\n\nClutch\n\n\n\nColvin\n\n\n\nConlin\n\n\n\nConnelly\n\n\n\nConroy\n\n\n\nDaiton\n\n\n\nDanger\n\n\n\nDarnell\n\n\n\nDacari\n\n\n\nDerringer\n\n\n\nDewitt\n\n\n\nDrexton\n\n\n\nDryden\n\n\n\nEdge\n\n\n\nEdsel\n\n\n\nEmmanuelle\n\n\n\nEmmiliano\n\n\n\nFalcon\n\n\n\nFenwick\n\n\n\nFerguson\n\n\n\nFitzwilliam\n\n\n\nGalvin\n\n\n\nGarfield\n\n\n\nGarnett\n\n\n\nGeraldo\n\n\n\nGiancarlos\n\n\n\nGilligan\n\n\n\nGregg\n\n\n\nGreydon\n\n\n\nGriggs\n\n\n\nHarding\n\n\n\nHeathcliff\n\n\n\nHensley\n\n\n\nHobbes\n\n\n\nHuckleberry\n\n\n\nHuckley\n\n\n\nJaris\n\n\n\nJerod\n\n\n\nJevan\n\n\n\nJiro\n\n\n\nJonesy\n\n\n\nKamaro\n\n\n\nKansas\n\n\n\nKeeran\n\n\n\nKel\n\n\n\nKerby\n\n\n\nLenzo\n\n\n\nLeyden\n\n\n\nLivingston\n\n\n\nLorne\n\n\n\nLydell\n\n\n\nMackey\n\n\n\nMaddyx\n\n\n\nMaestro\n\n\n\nMaiko\n\n\n\nMarsh\n\n\n\nMontreal\n\n\n\nNazim\n\n\n\nOlaf\n\n\n\nOxford\n\n\n\nPaisley\n\n\n\nPharell\n\n\n\nPhilipp\n\n\n\nPhinneas\n\n\n\nQuigley\n\n\n\nReinhart\n\n\n\nRobb\n\n\n\nRolf\n\n\n\nRooster\n\n\n\nSan\n\n\n\nSanderson\n\n\n\nSolas\n\n\n\nStriker\n\n\n\nThaxton\n\n\n\nThurston\n\n\n\nTokyo\n\n\n\nTrotter\n\n\n\nVaughan\n\n\n\nVijay\n\n\n\nVishal\n\n\n\nVontrell\n\n\n\nWillam\n\n\n\nWills\n\n\n\nZahmari\n\n\n\n\n139 of the rarest baby girl names in America\n\n\n\n\nAkara\n\n\n\nAkiya\n\n\n\nAlannys\n\n\n\nAliyannah\n\n\n\nAllaina\n\n\n\nAmbrose\n\n\n\nAngelisa\n\n\n\nAnica\n\n\n\nAnnalucia\n\n\n\nArchie\n\n\n\nAvabella\n\n\n\nAvemaria\n\n\n\nAverley\n\n\n\nAveryrose\n\n\n\nAyami\n\n\n\nBabette\n\n\n\nBeasley\n\n\n\nBelany\n\n\n\nBellamarie\n\n\n\nBess\n\n\n\nBreslin\n\n\n\nBronwynn\n\n\n\nBrycelynn\n\n\n\nCadie\n\n\n\nCanon\n\n\n\nCarlynn\n\n\n\nCosetta\n\n\n\nDandelion\n\n\n\nDanilynn\n\n\n\nDomani\n\n\n\nDymond\n\n\n\nElisabetta\n\n\n\nEmiliarose\n\n\n\nEmmerlyn\n\n\n\nEstoria\n\n\n\nEtna\n\n\n\nEureka\n\n\n\nEvarose\n\n\n\nEzzie\n\n\n\nFaithful\n\n\n\nFerris\n\n\n\nFreyah\n\n\n\nGalaxi\n\n\n\nGardner\n\n\n\nGemini\n\n\n\nGeorge\n\n\n\nGeorgetta\n\n\n\nGlacier\n\n\n\nGold\n\n\n\nGrizelda\n\n\n\nHarvee\n\n\n\nHatti\n\n\n\nHawkins\n\n\n\nHeartlee\n\n\n\nHero\n\n\n\nIbiza\n\n\n\nIoana\n\n\n\nItzy\n\n\n\nJacky\n\n\n\nJadeline\n\n\n\nJaidah\n\n\n\nJaimie\n\n\n\nJamielynn\n\n\n\nJan\n\n\n\nJanissa\n\n\n\nJaquelyn\n\n\n\nJem\n\n\n\nJetty\n\n\n\nJimmie\n\n\n\nJoellen\n\n\n\nJohnni\n\n\n\nJoliette\n\n\n\nJonesy\n\n\n\nJoss\n\n\n\nJoyful\n\n\n\nKarlina\n\n\n\nKazia\n\n\n\nKeesha\n\n\n\nKendrick\n\n\n\nKerrie\n\n\n\nKimmy\n\n\n\nKindred\n\n\n\nKismet\n\n\n\nKorilynn\n\n\n\nKrissy\n\n\n\nLabella\n\n\n\nLailey\n\n\n\nLakeland\n\n\n\nLava\n\n\n\nLei\n\n\n\nLiberti\n\n\n\nLilliette\n\n\n\nLinen\n\n\n\nLivvi\n\n\n\nMackie\n\n\n\nMaeverly\n\n\n\nMagic\n\n\n\nMaise\n\n\n\nMaleny\n\n\n\nMarciana\n\n\n\nMarialucia\n\n\n\nMaryetta\n\n\n\nMckenzi\n\n\n\nMckinnon\n\n\n\nMercer\n\n\n\nMerle\n\n\n\nMerrily\n\n\n\nMirasol\n\n\n\nNamara\n\n\n\nOceanna\n\n\n\nParvati\n\n\n\nPatrice\n\n\n\nPatty\n\n\n\nRacquel\n\n\n\nRavena\n\n\n\nRoane\n\n\n\nRobbi\n\n\n\nRosamond\n\n\n\nRowdi\n\n\n\nRubylou\n\n\n\nRumor\n\n\n\nSandi\n\n\n\nSarabeth\n\n\n\nSeychelle\n\n\n\nSkipper\n\n\n\nSojourner\n\n\n\nSorel\n\n\n\nSparkle\n\n\n\nThaara\n\n\n\nThompson\n\n\n\nTonia\n\n\n\nVai\n\n\n\nVerina\n\n\n\nVienne\n\n\n\nWave\n\n\n\nWilde\n\n\n\nWoodlynn\n\n\n\nYuma\n\n\n\nZeni\n\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

Proposed policy changes would also tighten criteria for economic development incentives.\n\n\n\nFort Worth’s proposed regulations come as Texas experiences rapid growth in data center development.\n\n\n\n ERCOT, which manages most of the state’s electric grid, estimates that requests from large power users could quadruple Texas’ electricity demand over the next decade. A February 2026 ERCOT report said it is tracking about 410 gigawatts of large load requests, with roughly 87% of those requests coming from data centers.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe rapid expansion has also drawn attention from state leaders. Gov. Greg Abbott has identified data center regulation as a priority for the 2027 legislative session.\n\n\n\nTexas Governor Greg Abbott has earmarked regulation of data centers as a priority in the 2027 legislative session. In a letter to state regulators in June, Abbott asked the heads of the Public Utility Commission and ERCOT to ensure data centers shoulder the cost of industry growth, rather than passing it along to Texans. \n\n\n\nProposed laws would require the use of water-efficient technology, mandate reporting for electric and water usage, ensure data centers lower electric costs for consumers, and repeal sales tax exemptions and incentives. \n\n\n\nFort Worth City Council is expected to vote on the proposed policy changes on August 11.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tData center growth and pushback\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGreg Abbott\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 1\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGov.

Shortly after they boarded the railway car, Nathan Scherer told NBC affiliate WRCB of Chattanooga, the conductor began making what he described as “disturbing comments.” \n\n\n\nThe Scherers told WRCB the rest of the ride up the mountain was notably silent, with other passengers appearing uncomfortable after they heard the conductor’s remarks.\n\n\n\nDuring the ride back down, Nathan Scherer decided to pull out his phone and record. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the video, the conductor addresses passengers over the loudspeaker, saying: “To the very, very few Americans in here, happy Independence Day. To the rest of you, welcome to the greatest country on the face of the planet, and if you disagree, you can leave.”\n\n\n\nThe video shows other passengers recording as the conductor speaks, as well. Someone can be heard yelling “shut up,” while another passenger appears to react with a concerned expression. \n\n\n\nThe Scherer family told WRCB the comments were “xenophobic” and “racist.” Charles Scherer said he sent the video that day to officials at the agency overseeing the railway, the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority, or CARTA.\n\n\n\n“When I sent that, it was probably within 15 minutes I got a response from someone that said, ‘We are taking appropriate action on this, and I apologize,’ so that made me feel really good about CARTA and about their responsiveness to this,” Charles Scherer told WRCB.\n\n\n\nCARTA did not immediately respond to an NBC News request for comment. \n\n\n\nIn a statement to NBC News on Wednesday, CARTA chief of staff Scott Wilson apologized for the conductor’s behavior and said he was fired the day of the incident. \n\n\n\n“Instead of following protocol — and common decency — this new, seasonal employee used the microphone to make assumptions about the citizenship status of our visitors and their disposition toward our great country,” Wilson said.\n\n\n\n“We agree that this is the greatest country on the face of the planet, especially in this 250th anniversary year of the Declaration of Independence,” he said. “But rudeness toward our guests is the exact opposite of the conductor’s role, and he was dismissed with cause the same day.”\n\n\n\nWilson, however, said that CARTA would “have an open dialogue” with the individual and determine if there was an opportunity to rehire him.\n\n\n\n“The story of America is one of continued improvement, and we are hopeful we can demonstrate that with this employee in this unfortunate situation,” he said.\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/tennessee-railway-conductor-fired-xenophobic-remarks/4047025/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Sophie Ziedalski | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-09T09:29:29.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2F2020-model-railcar-of-the-Lookout-Mountain-Incline-2230853501-Getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5400%2C3602","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"tennessee-railway-conductor-fired-after-telling-non-americans-you-can-leave-during-tour"},{"id":"l4yojh","title":"Fort Worth officials target crime-ridden motel in lawsuit","excerpt":"The City of Fort Worth has filed a lawsuit against a motel said to be a hotbed for crime, and says it is still trying to serve the building's owner with that litigation.

Superior Court following a grand jury indictment on a single count of destruction of property after he was accused of causing more than $1,000 in damage to the pool.\n\n\n\nSuperior Court Judge Carmen McLean released Hearn on his own recognizance. His next hearing will be on August 5.\n\n\n\nNorm Eisen, one of Hearn’s attorneys, spoke to reporters outside of court Thursday following the hearing.\n\n\n\n“Every American is at risk, and every American should be alarmed by this prosecution,” Eisen said, adding: “Mr. Hearn is innocent.”\n\n\n\n“It is not a crime to touch the reflecting pool, to touch water in the United States of America,” he said. “This is a case that should never have been brought.”\n\n\n\nA chorus of “Davey! Davey!” echoed around the courthouse after Eisen addressed the public.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Washington courtroom reached maximum seating capacity prior to the hearing. Additional attendees were instructed to watch from overflow seating rooms elsewhere in the courthouse.\n\n\n\nHearn nodded when the clerk read him his charges and appeared stoic. He later conferred and whispered with his lawyers when offered several options for the next status hearing date.\n\n\n\nBefore court, Hearn’s supporters rallied in his favor.\n\n\n\nSupporters walked in circles outside of court in protest of Hearn’s charges.

Hearn’s legal team says he is innocent and calls the charges “outrageous.”\n\n\n\nHearn previously told NBC News that he was arrested and detained for five hours last month after he touched a piece of the detached coating in the pool.\n\n\n\nThe Olympian said he had stopped at the 2,030-foot-long pool during a bike ride “to satisfy my curiosity as a citizen of what was happening with all the algae and the peeling blue coating.”\n\n\n\nBut Hearn maintained he did not remove, tear or destroy any of the coating.\n\n\n\n“The condition of the Reflecting Pool was the same after I stepped away from the water as it was before I got there,” he said.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe pool has been a priority for Trump.\n\n\n\nSince April, it has undergone a more than $14 million rehabilitation project — well above the initial cost estimate of under $2 million.\n\n\n\nA new liner and coating were added in a color Trump called “American flag blue” for the country’s 250th anniversary celebrations over the July Fourth weekend, but the water turned green with algae instead.\n\n\n\nThree others accused of taking or attempting to take pieces of blue sealant from the bottom of the pool have been charged with misdemeanor destruction of property in D.C. Superior Court.\n\n\n\nSophie Elaine Dennison-Gibby, Justin Toribio Carreno, and Cameron Michael Thiers were each charged with misdemeanor destruction of public property valued at less than $1,000 this month.\n\n\n\nThey were all arraigned Wednesday and pleaded not guilty.\n\n\n\nBut, as NBC News reported last month, the material had already been peeling off the bottom of the pool at the time of the arrests.\n\n\n\nIn one case, an officer allegedly saw someone “pull up a piece of the blue paint.” In another instance, a 26-year-old white male allegedly removed a piece of blue sealant and had it in his hand.\n\n\n\nIn the other case, an officer with the Montana Department of Corrections said he witnessed a woman remove a piece of reflecting pool paint and that she allegedly had another piece in her purse.\n\n\n\nOutside the court on Thursday, Paul Flack, a former U.S. National Team canoeist, said he has known Hearn since 1978, when they competed together.\n\n\n\n“I would have touched the paint myself because to feel the texture of it, you can kind of determine what maybe went wrong,” Flack said. “It’s a $14 million project that went totally wrong and him touching the paint had absolutely nothing to do with it.”\n\n\n\nAbigail Endicott said she has known Hearn since he was a teenager, as her husband used to coach him.\n\n\n\n“Davey Hearn loves the reflecting pool,” Endicott said. “He would never want to do anything to hurt it.

But Haaland’s breakout popularity is taking a strikingly different form.\n\n\n\n\n\n“Cristiano Ronaldo is a superstar we look up to from afar,” Li said. “Haaland, by contrast, feels more like one of our close friends.”\n\n\n\nHaaland has embraced Chinese social media’s unique style of close communication with fans. \n\n\n\nIn one popular Douyin video, Haaland — who is also known in China as the “Nordic Cyborg” — directly addressed a fan’s question about whether he is actually a robot.\n\n\n\nLooking into the camera with a deadpan face and mischievous tone, Haaland said, “Maybe I am sometimes.” \n\n\n\nEven his partner, fellow Norwegian Isabel Haugseng Johansen, has found success on Douyin, with about 350,000 followers on the platform.\n\n\n\nFans also contrast Haaland’s Nordic upbringing and passionate approach to soccer with China’s state sports system, which identifies promising athletes as children and emphasizes sacrifice.\n\n\n\n“He plays football purely because he loves it and dreams of it. He has pride in representing his country, but he doesn’t burden himself with overwhelming pressure or expectations,” Li said. “That’s very different from many athletes in my country, who often come from disadvantaged backgrounds and see sports primarily as a way to earn a living.”\n\n\n\nIn addition to his skills, Li said, Haaland appears to enjoy “genuine friendship and teamwork with his teammates.”\n\n\n\n“He comes across as someone who is comfortable in his own skin and completely authentic,” she said. “In many ways, he’s living the kind of life that most of us wish we could have.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/soccer-fans-china-rooting-norway-erling-haaland-ha-bao/4046976/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Dawn Liu, Erin Tan and Janis Mackey Frayer | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-09T07:44:12.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2F260709-haaland-china-getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4500%2C2531","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"soccer-fans-in-china-are-rooting-for-norways-erling-haaland-their-ha-bao"},{"id":"dxo8o1","title":"Dallas runner's 220-mile journey honors fallen service members","excerpt":"A Dallas man is preparing for a 220-mile run next month to honor the service members killed in the Extortion 17 mission and raise money for military families. \n\n\n\nMike Rouse plans to run from his hometown of Abilene to his current hometown of Dallas, beginning Monday, Aug. 3, and arriving Thursda...","content":"A Dallas man is preparing for a 220-mile run next month to honor the service members killed in the Extortion 17 mission and raise money for military families. \n\n\n\nMike Rouse plans to run from his hometown of Abilene to his current hometown of Dallas, beginning Monday, Aug. 3, and arriving Thursday, Aug. 6 — the 15th anniversary of Extortion 17, a rescue mission that ended in the deaths of 31 military personnel.\n\n\n\nThe challenge is deeply personal for Rouse, who said one of those killed was his friend, Navy SEAL John Tomilson.\n\n\n\n“Extortion 17 was one of the cruelest days of my life when on August 6, 2011, when I got a call that my dear friend John Tomilson, who was a Navy SEAL that was on that helicopter, had lost his life,” Rouse said.\n\n\n\nSince then, Rouse has marked the anniversary each year by taking on a demanding endurance run in memory of those who died.\n\n\n\n“I just felt like it was my mission to bring awareness to the sacrifice of these men and the sacrifice of their families,” Rouse said.\n\n\n\nTraining through the Texas heat, Rouse said the 220-mile journey will test him both mentally and physically. He plans to run continuously with only a few breaks along the way.\n\n\n\nAs he prepares for this year’s run, Rouse said he often thinks about what his friend would say.\n\n\n\n“He would say pops youre crazy but I love you for it, and he probably would have run every step of the way with me,” Rouse said. “And so it just gives me that much more cause and momentum to do something really, really special.”\n\n\n\nRouse said the annual run is about leaving a lasting legacy through service and remembrance.\n\n\n\n“The older I get, the more I realize that the only thing I leave behind is my legacy,” Rouse said.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

Smith, and Patrick Zamarripa.\n\n\n\nWords were shared from the mayor, city manager, police chief Daniel Comeaux, and others about the importance of the day and letting family members know their sacrifice will never be forgotten.\n\n\n\n“They are not forgotten,” Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux said. “They are a part of who we are and always will be. Today we remember, we honor, and we renew our promise that their sacrifice will never fade with time.”\n\n\n\nDART also honored the life, service, and sacrifice of DART police officer Brent Thompson. Officer Thompson remains the only DART police officer to make the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.\n\n\n\n“The lasting legacy for us is that Brent left for us is that we need to have the courage to do the mission ahead of us, whatever that is,” DART Police Chief Charles Cato said.\n\n\n\nThompson’s parents and other family members attended.\n\n\n\n“10 years feels like yesterday when it all happened,” Thompson’s brother Darrell Thompson said. “Of course, we remember him every day.”\n\n\n\nThe shooting was the deadliest incident for U.S. law enforcement since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. The lone gunman, 25-year-old Micah Xavier Johnson, fired on the officers from an elevated position as they were working the peaceful protest in downtown Dallas.\n\n\n\nPolice said Johnson, who was an Army Reserve veteran, fled the scene. He was eventually cornered in a parking garage during a lengthy stand-off. After an exchange of gunfire, officers attached explosives to a bomb robot and detonated them near Johnson, killing him.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA permanent memorial honoring the fallen officers has been on display for several years outside of the Dallas police headquarters building on Botham Jean Boulevard.

She was 75.\n\n\n\nTyler died “unexpectedly” in a hospital in Portugal where she was being treated for an illness, her family said Thursday in a statement on her website. She was hospitalized in May in Faro, where she had a home, for emergency intestinal surgery. She had been placed in an induced coma for a period but was reportedly improving last month and expected to make a good recovery.\n\n\n\n“Bonnie’s family and team are heartbroken to announce that Bonnie unexpectedly passed away last night in hospital in Portugal as a result of the illness that she was being treated for, her family said.\n\n\n\nTyler earned three Grammy nods, represented Britain at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013, where she came in 19th. She was honored as a Member of the Order of the British Empire for her services to music by Queen Elizabeth II in 2022, all largely thanks to “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” which has had more that 1 billion streams, boosted by real eclipses in 2017 and 2024.\n\n\n\nThe song spent four weeks at No. 1, the video has surpassed 1 billion views and when Stereogum reevaluated it in 2020, the music outlet declared it an “extinction-level event rendered in musical form.”\n\n\n\n“It’s pop music as heart-pounding, chest-thumping, blood-gargling, heavens-falling passion explosion. It’s sheer spectacle. It’s fireworks and lasers and lightning and thunder. It soars and swoops and barrel-rolls,” the site said.\n\n\n\nThe song has never really gone away, covered by the English singer Nicki French in 1995 and the band Westlife in 2006. Cate Blanchett sang it while hitting Billy Bob Thornton with her car in 2001’s “Bandits,” it appeared at a wedding scene in 2003’s “Old School” and One Direction sang it in 2010 on a U.K. version of “The X Factor.”\n\n\n\nEarly life\n\n\n\nTyler was born — as Gaynor Hopkins — a coal miner’s daughter in public housing with an outside toilet in Skewen, Wales, about seven miles outside Swansea. She grew up with three sisters and two brothers. \n\n\n\nShe adored the Beatles and her first album was “A Hard Day’s Night.” The first song she bought was “Hippy Hippy Shake” by the Swinging Blue Jeans at 13 and watched “Top of the Pops” religiously, according to her memoir, “Straight From the Heart.”\n\n\n\nShe would record “Top of the Pops” on a reel-to-reel two-track recorder and write down the lyrics of songs she loved. Her favorites were songs by Janis Joplin, Nina Simone, Tina Turner, Wilson Pickett and Otis Redding. \n\n\n\n“I used to sing them into my hairbrush for hours and hours, and that’s how it all started for me. I fell in love with singing just from doing that. Looking back, even then my voice had a husky tone to it, but I didn’t think much of it. I thought everyone’s voices were different from each other’s,” she wrote.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 1976 she had to have surgery to remove nodules on her throat, leaving her with that trademark vocal sound. Changing her name to Sherene Davis, she was fronting a soul band when she was discovered by talent scout Roger Bell, who brought her to London for demo sessions. Then she waited for a label until RCA said it was interested.\n\n\n\nUnder her new RCA-sanctioned name Bonnie Tyler, her debut album “The World Starts Tonight” in 1977 contained her first chart hit, “Lost in France,” and she was nominated for a breakthrough artists award at the Brits Awards. She then had a No. 3 hit in 1978 with “It’s a Heartache,” but soon drifted. She then signed with Sony and saw Meat Loaf perform “Bat Out of Hell” on the BBC. Impressed, she requested to work with Meat Loaf songwriter and producer Jim Steinman.\n\n\n\n‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’\n\n\n\nSteinman introduced her to his song “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” which would become the debut single for her fifth studio album, “Faster Than the Speed of Night.” He borrowed one of the song’s lyrics — “Turn around, bright eyes” — from his 1969 musical “The Dream Engine” written as a student at Massachusetts’ Amherst College. He told her the song was from a prospective musical version of “Nosferatu.”\n\n\n\n“Jim liked to put down a basic rhythm track, do nine takes of the song, choose the best one and then put the kitchen sink on there, like Phil Spector used to,” Tyler told The Guardian in 2023. “He gave me a cassette to listen to in my hotel and we both preferred take two.”\n\n\n\nFeaturing E Street Band members Roy Bittan on piano and Max Weinberg on drums, “Total Eclipse” is a rumination on lost love: “Once upon a time there was light in my life/But now there’s only love in the dark,” she sings.\n\n\n\nThe video, a staple of early-days MTV, was shot in a frightening gothic former asylum in Surrey, where the guard dogs apparently wouldn’t set foot in the rooms downstairs where they used to give people electric shock treatment. The visuals included slow-motion tossed doves, candles, dancing ninjas, dancing greasers, Tyler in frighteningly big shoulder pads, fencers, gymnasts, wind machines and shirtless boys wearing swim goggles being doused with water.\n\n\n\n“Faster Than the Speed of Night” earned a Grammy nomination for best rock vocal performance — losing to Pat Benatar’s “Love Is a Battlefield” — and Tyler got another nod for “Total Eclipse of the Heart” in the best pop vocal performance category, losing to Irene Cara’s “Flashdance — What a Feeling.” \n\n\n\nAfter the ‘Eclipse’\n\n\n\nTyler never reached such dizzying heights again but stayed current with such movie soundtrack singles as “Holding Out For a Hero” — from 1984’s “Footloose” — and “Here She Comes” from “Metropolis” also in 1984. \n\n\n\nHer 2019 disc “Between the Earth and the Stars” featured duets with Rod Stewart, Cliff Richard and Status Quo’s Francis Rossi, and she ended that year performing a Vatican Christmas concert before Pope Francis.\n\n\n\nIn 2013, she switched gears to make a country-flavored record in Nashville, “Rocks and Honey,” which included the Vince Gill duet “What You Need From Me” and a little ballad called “Believe in Me,” written by American songwriter Desmond Child and British songwriters Lauren Christy and Christopher Braide. “Believe in Me” was picked to represent the United Kingdom at that year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden.\n\n\n\n“It was an absolutely wonderful atmosphere there,” she told the San Francisco Examiner in 2023. “I was being interviewed every 15, 20 minutes, and when I walked out onstage behind the British flag, I thought the roof was going to come off! It was awesome, just awesome!”\n\n\n\nIn 2017, she joined Joe Jonas’ band DNCE for a performance on the cruise ship Oasis of the Seas as part of a “Total Eclipse Cruise.” When the moon passed in front of the sun, they played “Total Eclipse of the Heart.”\n\n\n\nTyler was married to property developer and former Olympic judo competitor Robert Sullivan.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/bonnie-tyler-total-eclipse-of-the-heart-has-died/4046854/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Mark Kennedy | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-09T04:42:36.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26126572670750.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2953%2C2076","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"bonnie-tyler-known-for-hit-song-total-eclipse-of-the-heart-has-died-at-75"},{"id":"jaroyy","title":"U.S. and Iran exchange intensifying attacks across the Persian Gulf as ceasefire collapses","excerpt":"The United States launched new airstrikes against Iran early Thursday, and Tehran responded by targeting U.S.-allied Mideast countries in an exchange of fire that threatened an interim deal intended to help end the war in the Middle East.\n\n\n\nBack-and-forth attacks, including a day earlier, have r...","content":"The United States launched new airstrikes against Iran early Thursday, and Tehran responded by targeting U.S.-allied Mideast countries in an exchange of fire that threatened an interim deal intended to help end the war in the Middle East.\n\n\n\nBack-and-forth attacks, including a day earlier, have repeatedly threatened the ceasefire, but Thursday’s appeared bigger all around, with sirens sounding at least three times in Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet headquarters, and missiles targeting Kuwait and Qatar.\n\n\n\nSirens sounded Thursday afternoon in Jordan as well, where the U.S. has stationed troops and aircraft.\n\n\n\nAn Iranian official accused the U.S. of launching an airstrike later Thursday targeting the area around Iran’s sole nuclear power plant, and other explosions were reported elsewhere in the country during the afternoon.\n\n\n\nEarly Friday, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was laid to rest in his hometown of Mashhad after days of public mourning. Khamenei was killed in the opening salvos of the Iran war.\n\n\n\nThe strikes came hours after U.S. President Donald Trump said recent Iranian attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz signaled the end of a fragile ceasefire and threatened to escalate the conflict if they didn’t stop. That raised concerns that the region could tip back into a war that would engulf several countries and could halt energy shipments through the strait that are crucial for the global economy.\n\n\n\nIn Iran, the two days of American airstrikes have killed at least 14 people and wounded another 78, Iran’s Health Ministry said Thursday — most of those reportedly members of the armed forces.\n\n\n\nIn Kuwait, the military said falling debris wounded one person as the nation shot down three ballistic missiles, a cruise missile and 10 drones. Bahrain said it shot down incoming fire, without elaborating, and Jordanian government spokesperson Mohammad al-Momani said all incoming fire from Iran had been intercepted. Iranian state TV said the country’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard fired missiles at a U.S. base in Jordan.\n\n\n\nThere was no immediate word of damage in Qatar.\n\n\n\n\n\nU.S. strikes hit more targets\n\n\n\nThe U.S. military’s Central Command said it hit 90 targets across Iran, releasing black-and-white footage of what appeared to be strikes on an airport runway and missile launchers.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. said the strikes were intended to “further degrade” Iran’s ability “to threaten freedom of navigation” in the strait, through which a fifth of the world’s traded oil and natural gas passed before the war began with U.S. and Israeli attacks on Feb. 28.\n\n\n\nTraffic has picked up somewhat since a tentative deal last month included opening the waterway. Maritime data company Lloyd’s List Intelligence said Thursday that preliminary data showed at least 576 ships passed through the strait in June, compared with 233 in May. More than 3,100 transited the strait in June 2025.\n\n\n\nIranian state media reported explosions in several locations, including Bushehr, home to Iran’s nuclear power plant complex, and southern port cities. The state-run IRNA news agency quoted Ehsan Jahanian, a local official in Bushehr, as accusing the U.S. of striking near the plant around noon, hours after Central Command said it had ended its latest round of strikes. Asked for comment on Bushehr, Central Command referred to a press release that detailed targets but made no mention of the nuclear power plant.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWar with Iran\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 8\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tU.S. carries out another round of strikes on Iran after Trump says ceasefire is over\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWar with Iran\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 1\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe AP reconstructs a U.S. strike that killed over 100 Iranian children\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nStreets are jammed for Khamenei’s final funeral procession\n\n\n\nFor the first time since April, U.S. strikes also appeared to target Iranian bridges. State media reported a strike on a railway bridge in Iran’s northeastern Golestan province, and the Revolutionary Guard said two bridges were attacked on the route to Mashhad, where tens of thousands of mourners thronged wide boulevards during the final funeral procession for Khamenei on Thursday.\n\n\n\nPeople pressed forward to touch a vehicle carrying Khamenei’s body. Many carried Iranian flags and images of the late leader or banners evoking Shiite Islam’s long history of martyrs. Some signs called for the death of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.\n\n\n\nKhamenei ruled Iran for nearly 37 years before being killed in the U.S. and Israeli airstrikes that started the war. The funeral processions began last Saturday, with authorities shutting down streets, airspace and daily life in Tehran and other cities as throngs commemorated the man who led Iran for decades with an iron fist while confronting the West.\n\n\n\nTrump issues another warning to Iran if attacks on shipping happen again\n\n\n\nAfter leaving a NATO summit in Turkey, Trump posted several videos on his social media site of what he said were explosions in Iran and issued another warning to the Islamic Republic.\n\n\n\n“This is in retribution for yesterday’s bombing of ships by Iran. If it happens again, it will get much worse!” Trump wrote Wednesday, a day after three tankers were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz.\n\n\n\nTrump also renewed his past threats to hit Iran’s civilian infrastructure, including electric and desalination plants, and to seize Kharg Island, through which some 90% of Iranian oil exports pass.\n\n\n\nParliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, a key negotiator in talks seeking a permanent end to the war, was defiant in a post on X on Thursday morning: “America still hasn’t learned that bullying and breaking promises are no longer cost-free. Let me put it plainly: If you strike, you’ll get hit.”\n\n\n\nIranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a post on Telegram that he spoke by phone with his Saudi, Turkish and Omani counterparts and with Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, who has been one of the main mediators in the war. The outreach suggested efforts may be underway to reduce tensions.\n\n\n\nTalks on reaching a final deal were to begin after Khamenei’s funeral\n\n\n\nTrump said Wednesday that the interim ceasefire agreement was “over.” He said he would allow negotiations to continue but thought negotiators were “wasting their time.”\n\n\n\nNegotiations to reach a final deal were due to start after the funeral for Khamenei.\n\n\n\nThe talks are meant to focus on the toughest matters, including fully reopening the strait and rolling back Tehran’s disputed nuclear program.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/us-launches-new-airstrikes-iran-fires-back/4046851/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Jon Gambrell | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-09T03:11:52.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2284179867.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D8192%2C5462","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"us-and-iran-exchange-intensifying-attacks-across-the-persian-gulf-as-ceasefire-collapses"},{"id":"uieff2","title":"Texas Senate renews push to ban THC products statewide","excerpt":"The debate over THC products in Texas is returning to the Capitol, with conservative leaders in the Texas Senate signaling another attempt to ban the products statewide.\n\n\n\nDuring invited testimony on Tuesday morning, senators focused on mental health concerns and the impact THC-related cases are...","content":"The debate over THC products in Texas is returning to the Capitol, with conservative leaders in the Texas Senate signaling another attempt to ban the products statewide.\n\n\n\nDuring invited testimony on Tuesday morning, senators focused on mental health concerns and the impact THC-related cases are having on Texas hospitals. The effort has the backing of police chiefs, sheriffs and the Texas Medical Association.\n\n\n\n“Emergency department visits related to THC has also demonstrated an alarming and significant rise over the past several years,” Dr. Dominic Lucia with the Texas Medical Association said.\n\n\n\nA statewide ban on THC products was a top priority for Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick during the last legislative session, but Gov. Greg Abbott vetoed the proposal.\n\n\n\nAbbott instead legalized and regulated low-level THC through an executive order, a move that largely aligned with the state’s $10 billion industry, which supporters say employs 50,000 workers.\n\n\n\n“Texans don’t want a ban. We want fair policies. We want to protect consumers. We want to prevent under age access,” cannabis farmer Eddie Velez said.\n\n\n\n“There’s nothing good in this stuff. There’s no virtue in it,” Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, said.\n\n\n\nPerry, who filed the bill that was vetoed during the last legislative session, said he plans to bring the proposal back.\n\n\n\n“I’m at my breaking point from a conscious level. I don’t know as a society how we can allow this stuff to perpetuate itself in the name of profit. Or how these industries look at themselves in the mirror every day knowing what they’re doing,” Perry said.\n\n\n\nBoth supporters and opponents of the proposal are expected to spend the coming months preparing for another contentious fight at the Texas Capitol when lawmakers return to Austin.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW. AI tools helped convert the story into a digital article, and an NBC DFW journalist edited it again before publication.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/politics/lone-star-politics/texas-senate-renews-push-to-ban-thc-products-statewide/4046095/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Phil Prazan","publishDate":"2026-07-07T16:44:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FTHC-debate.png%3Ffit%3D598%2C336%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"texas-senate-renews-push-to-ban-thc-products-statewide"},{"id":"64ol1","title":"‘Cannot remain silent': Egypt complains officials were biased in World Cup loss to Argentina","excerpt":"The Egyptian Football Association said Wednesday it “cannot remain silent” after what it believes was unfair and biased officiating in Egypt’s 3-2 round of 16 loss against Argentina on Tuesday.\n\n\n\nEgypt coach Hossam Hassan and several players criticized the officiating after being left in disbeli...","content":"The Egyptian Football Association said Wednesday it “cannot remain silent” after what it believes was unfair and biased officiating in Egypt’s 3-2 round of 16 loss against Argentina on Tuesday.\n\n\n\nEgypt coach Hossam Hassan and several players criticized the officiating after being left in disbelief as Argentina scored three unanswered goals in 13 minutes to pull off one of the biggest comebacks in World Cup history.\n\n\n\n“Defending the rights and interests of the Egyptian national team is not a matter that can be ignored, minimized, or treated as secondary,” the EFA said in a statement. “It is a responsibility that we carry with full conviction and determination.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFIFA’s chief of refereeing Pierluigi Collina, in a statement issued later Wednesday, said while constructive discussion about decisions would always be part of football, “unfounded allegations have no place in our sport.”\n\n\n\n“Nobody can question the integrity of the FIFA World Cup match officials,” he said. “When this happens, it may provoke reactions that lead to threats against them and their families. This is not right.”\n\n\n\nThe EFA said that the referee failed to use the Video Assistant Referee system appropriately, leading to the loss to Argentina.\n\n\n\nEgypt appeared to have netted its second goal in the 58th minute, but a VAR review determined that Marwan Attia had fouled Argentina defender Lisandro Martínez early in the buildup up to the goal.\n\n\n\n“Several key incidents raised serious concerns and left profound questions about the consistency and fairness of decisions that directly influenced the course of the game,” the EFA statement read.\n\n\n\nCollina said “during a competition, we prefer not to focus on specific incidents,” but he defended the Attia decision.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 7\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMessi miracle: Argentina pulls off stunning World Cup comeback vs. Egypt\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 7\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMessi breaks a World Cup penalty record nobody wants\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\n“If a foul is identified in the build-up and is deemed to have had an impact on the goal, the VAR will recommend an on-field review,” Collina said. “There is no defined limit regarding either the distance from goal or the amount of time between the incident and the goal.”\n\n\n\nHe said in the disputed case, Attia “clearly treads on the foot of Argentina No. 6 Lisandro Martínez.”\n\n\n\n“We believe that a foul is a foul,” Collina added. “Regardless of whether the foul appears ‘obvious,’ if the referee did not see it on the field of play, the VAR can intervene.”\n\n\n\nMostafa Ziko netted later to give Egypt a 2-0 lead, but all momentum shifted onto Argentina’s side when Lionel Messi assisted Cristian Romero in the 79th minute — the first of three consecutive goals.\n\n\n\nHassan held his arms up in an “X” shape to signal racial abuse after Argentina’s game-winner two minutes into stoppage time.

You need it to maintain muscle mass, support gut health and combat potential weight gain, experts told TODAY.com previously.\n\n\n\nFor Rizzo, tofu is the obvious plant-based protein choice for those in menopause. Not only is it a rich source of protein (with around 10 grams per serving), but it’s also made with calcium, she says, which supports healthy bones. And if you don’t eat a lot of dairy, tofu can give you a helpful calcium bump, Rizzo adds.\n\n\n\nTofu is also made from soy milk, and soy-based foods can be especially beneficial for those in menopause, Rizzo says.\n\n\n\n“When you go through menopause, your estrogen levels drop. And there are phytoestrogens in soy,” she explains. “So, including more soy in your diet can actually help reduce hot flashes.”\n\n\n\nOther high-protein plant foods for midlife\n\n\n\nWhite Beans\n\n\n\nAny type of bean could fit the bill here: They’re all packed with plant-based protein as well as fiber, which supports gut health and heart health and keeps you feeling full.\n\n\n\nBeans also each offer their own special blend of extra vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Rizzo specifically recommends white beans in menopause, she says, because they’re rich in calcium, which supports bone health.\n\n\n\nWhite beans, including navy beans and cannellini beans, are also high in potassium, another mineral that aids in blood pressure control.\n\n\n\nTry a white bean salad, spicy soup or marinated beans with crusty bread, for instance.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChia Seeds\n\n\n\nNot only are chia seeds full of protein and fiber — 10 grams of fiber per serving to be exact, but they’re also quite rich in magnesium, Rizzo says. This mineral plays a role in both heart health and bone health. Chia seeds are also a good source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.\n\n\n\nThese tiny seeds may not look like much, but they swell when soaked in liquid and take on a gelatinous, pudding-like texture. That makes them perfect on their own in chia seed pudding, but they can also be a great addition to your overnight oats.\n\n\n\nChia seed pudding is a go-to meal for registered dietitian Grace Derocha, who previously told TODAY.com that chia seed pudding helps her hit her protein and fiber goals at the same time.\n\n\n\nAlmonds\n\n\n\nAnother surprisingly good source of calcium, almonds are also full of filling plant-based protein and fiber, Rizzo says. In fact, almonds topped Rizzo’s lists of the highest-protein and highest-fiber nuts you can eat.\n\n\n\nAnother bonus?

Platner on Monday denied the allegation, first made in an interview with Politico, but said he would be considering next steps for his campaign.\n\n\n\n\n\nFor Democrats to reclaim the Senate majority, the party will likely have to win in Maine, where the incumbent Republican, Sen. Susan Collins, has defeated many challengers before. State law allows Platner to be replaced on the ballot if he withdraws by July 13. The replacement candidate must be named by July 27, leaving the party little time to find a replacement.\n\n\n\nEarlier Wednesday, the Maine Democratic Party announced a plan to hold a nominating convention to fill the seat, if a vacancy arises. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Marine veteran and oyster farmer running against the establishment, Platner won the Democratic primary last month, after his main opponent, Gov. Janet Mills, suspended her campaign — she’d been backed by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.\n\n\n\nPlatner’s anti-billionaire, pro-union platform fired up the Democratic base, and he was polling competitively with Collins in the general election.\n\n\n\n\n\nHe had remained in the race through other controversies, including other allegations of misconduct and a tattoo that he’s since covered up of a symbol with Nazi connections. He’d defended himself in both cases.\n\n\n\nBut after Maine resident Jenny Racicot told Politico and CNN that Platner drunkenly entered her home in 2021, when they were in an on-and-off relationship, and sexually assaulted her, prominent political supporters of Platner’s began pulling their endorsements, including Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. \n\n\n\n“I have spoken with Graham Platner about the best path forward for Maine. In light of these very serious allegations, I have recommended that he step aside,” said Sanders, one of Platner’s earliest and most fervent backers, in a statement Tuesday.\n\n\n\nHannah Pingree, the Democratic nominee for Maine governor, called for his immediate departure from the race, saying in a statement, “Democrats need a nominee who can beat Susan Collins in November. Graham Platner is no longer that candidate.”\n\n\n\nIn a brief statement, Collins called the allegations “appalling,” adding, “Nevertheless, it is not up to me to choose the Democratic nominee for Senate.”\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tMore Graham Platner news\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaine\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 6\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaine Senate candidate Graham Platner faces new sexual assault allegation: reports\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nIn his video, posted just after 8 p.m. Wednesday, Platner insisted the allegations against him are false, but said it wasn’t the allegations alone that made he and his wife decide to pull out of the race, but the pressure the political establishment placed on him and the movement he’d built to prevent him from meaningfully campaigning.\n\n\n\nAnd he emphasized the success of his movement, built outside the establishment, while advocating for it to stay at the heart of the the Democratic ticket for Senate. \n\n\n\n“We went toe to toe with one of the most entrenched political systems in the history of the world and we won,” Platner said. “We beat them on June 9th, in overwhelming numbers. We did it the right way. We built a campaign, we engaged in electoral politics, we motivated people, we banded together, we did it the way that we were told that we are supposed to make change and we won, and now they are not going to let us have it. Not if it’s me.”\n\n\n\nRead Graham Platner’s full message suspending his Senate campaign\n\n\n\nHey everyone, it’s Graham Platner here. I think, as many of you know, over the past couple days I have faced some very serious allegations, and I just want to make it clear, this is all false. The things that have been claimed did not happen. It’s not real.\n\n\n\nIt has placed an immense amount of weight on me as I think about what needs to happen now. Amy and I are regular people. We were not looking for this experience. We were not looking to get into politics. We had no desire to run for office.\n\n\n\nI just want you to think about, like, what you would do as a regular person in a position where a much larger world, large forces were working against you personally to accuse you of the worst thing that a person could do, and it was not remotely true.\n\n\n\nI learned about this through press inquiries with no time to truly respond, no time for investigations, before a corporate media system and the political establishment got to act as judge, jury and executioner. Accusations are supposed to be the beginning of things, not the end.\n\n\n\nI think it’s really important to understand why this is happening in the timeline, why this is happening right now. Much like October, when the first attack started, much like the news that was created the week before the primary, there is a reason that this is happening now. I only have until July 13th until I am officially the nominee. This was the last week to try to get me off of the ballot, and that’s why this is occurring.\n\n\n\nIt’s not the false allegations, though, that have brought us to where we are. It’s the fact that they are being used by the political establishment to put structural pressure on us. We live in a political system that is not built for normal people. It is a system that is built structurally to make sure that movements like ours cannot flourish, that if they begin to succeed, they can be crushed.\n\n\n\nWhat we have accomplished here, you made possible, the people of Maine, the volunteers, the voters, the grassroots donors and I have all the faith in the world that we could win if we could continue to harness that, but the brutal political reality is that they are going to take everything away from us.\n\n\n\nThose in power who have the ability to do so are using these allegations as an excuse to take away all of the things that we need to run a campaign. We are going to lose our ability to fundraise. We are going to lose our ability to access voter data. We are going to lose all of the things that any campaign needs on the basic level simply to function.\n\n\n\nLarger organizations, the national level party, the bigger donor networks, they have all committed to spending no money in this race, if I’m in it, they would rather see Susan Collins win than have me be the next senator from Maine.\n\n\n\nWhat comes next needs to come from the people, needs to come from the people of Maine, needs to come from the voters who on June 9th at a strength of over 150,000 the largest number in the history of Maine primaries said no to this kind of politics, voted for a politics that would actually represent them, voted against the political system, against the donor class, against the entrenched forces.\n\n\n\nAnd I’m not asking for how this process is going to work, I’m not trying to dictate to anyone who it should be or how we get there, but I will say this: it needs to be open, transparent, and democratic. It needs to be reflecting the will and the values of the people that built this movement, the people that showed up on June 9, people in DC need to stay in DC. Decisions should not be made in back rooms by people in places of political power. Party apparatchiks are not the ones to make these decisions. These decisions need to be made in the open by the people of this state, the people who got us here.\n\n\n\nThis is exactly the kind of political system that everyone voted against on June 9th, and for that reason we need to be assured that it is going to be open and democratic as we move forward.\n\n\n\nAmy and I struggled about getting into this last summer, right around this time of year. We sat down and we looked at each other, and we said, if we believe in the kind of politics we think that we do we have to do this. Over the past couple days, really yesterday and today, we have had to have that exact same conversation.\n\n\n\nWe believe that for the movement to continue, it can’t be me, and for that reason, we are suspending campaign operations.\n\n\n\nThis is incredibly difficult, because I know that some will think it’s an admission of guilt, and it most certainly is not. We’re not doing it because of the allegations, we’re doing it because of the structures that are being taken away from us by those in power. And I also feel an immense amount of responsibility to everyone who has worked so hard to get us to where we are.\n\n\n\nWe went toe to toe with one of the most entrenched political systems in the history of the world, and we won. We beat them on June 9th in overwhelming numbers. We did it the right way. We built a campaign, we engaged in electoral politics, we motivated people, we banded together, we did it the way that we were told we are supposed to make change, and we won, and now they are not going to let us have it. Not if it’s me. And so we’re suspending campaign operations.\n\n\n\nI want to make clear, though, I intend to file my paperwork to withdraw. The process needs to assure that what comes next is reflective of the Mainers, who on June 9th turned out and showed that they are desperate for a different kind of politics. It needs to be driven not from back rooms but by the will of the people, and the decisions that come next must come from that.\n\n\n\nAll we were asking for was health care, was to end the genocide, to use our taxpayer dollars at home to uplift our communities, instead of waging war overseas. We were asking for a fair system. We were asking for an end to the corruption, the end to the money in politics. We were asking for real democracy, and we did it the right way, and we won. But now the ball is in the court of the Democratic establishment.\n\n\n\nMy name might be on the ballot right now, but that ballot line belongs to the people of Maine. And on November 3, it needs to belong to the people of Maine, and the next Democratic senator for Maine needs to belong to the people of Maine. They need to reflect the will and the values of the people of this state.\n\n\n\nI love this state. I love Maine, and I love Mainers in ways that I can’t really describe. I am immensely proud of what we have built, and I have the utmost faith that we will continue to build, and we will continue to move towards a better future. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank all of you, and keep fighting, we’re going to win someday.\n\n\n\nThe Associated Press contributed to this report.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tMore stories about Graham Platner\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaine\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 6\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaine Senate candidate Graham Platner faces new sexual assault allegation: reports\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\tThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/graham-platner-suspends-campaign-maine-senate/4046599/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Asher Klein, Monica Madeja and Marc Fortier","publishDate":"2026-07-08T19:21:10.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FAP26161070340162.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5513%2C3675","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"graham-platner-suspends-maine-senate-campaign-amid-scandal-sparking-dem-election-scramble"},{"id":"u9jay","title":"State lawmakers to explore banning foreign nationals from using Texas surrogates","excerpt":"State lawmakers are exploring prohibiting foreign nationals from using Texas surrogates, elevating a niche fertility issue into a larger battle over immigration and birthright citizenship, surrogacy experts say.\n\n\n\nThe Texas Senate health committee will hear testimony on Wednesday about potential...","content":"State lawmakers are exploring prohibiting foreign nationals from using Texas surrogates, elevating a niche fertility issue into a larger battle over immigration and birthright citizenship, surrogacy experts say.\n\n\n\nThe Texas Senate health committee will hear testimony on Wednesday about potentially banning foreign nationals from contracting with Texas surrogates to have children, after Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick made examining the issue an interim charge for the chamber ahead of the legislative session that starts in January. Last month, the Texas GOP also approved in its latest platform a ban on commercial surrogacy for foreign nationals, arguing that the practice lets children born under such circumstances obtain U.S. citizenship.\n\n\n\nSurrogacy is a medical procedure where a woman carries and delivers a child for another party. This is typically accomplished by transferring an embryo to the surrogate via in vitro fertilization (IVF) and the surrogate and the child are not biologically related. Among the most common users of surrogates are families who are suffering from fertility issues, as well as LGBTQ+ families.\n\n\n\nSurrogacy experts and advocacy groups in Texas say arrangements with foreign nationals account for a small percentage of the thousands of surrogacy births that are estimated to occur in the U.S. every year. The exact number is unknown because surrogacy contracts are private and the government does not collect data.\n\n\n\nThey worry that targeting that slice of the industry could be the first step toward restricting, if not banning, surrogacy for all Texans. Surrogacy agencies are navigating existential threats on multiple fronts as the state Republican Party also supported banning public funding for IVF, which party officials consider a “destructive practice” for embryos. Without IVF, surrogacy is severely limited.\n\n\n\n“It’s important to ensure the public conversation around surrogacy reflects the lived experiences of the one in six people who face infertility,” said Katy Encalade, president & CEO of Frisco-based Egg Donor & Surrogate Solutions. “Surrogacy is about creating families, not designer babies.”\n\n\n\nConservative groups believe they will have success regulating surrogacy this legislative session by tackling it as a birthright citizenship issue and one that threatens national security. Florida recently passed a law banning surrogacy and adoption contracts for any cases involving citizens or residents of a designated “foreign country of concern,” including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela and Syria. Congress is also considering similar legislation — Stopping Adversarial Foreign Exploitation of Kids in Domestic Surrogacy Act (SAFE Kids Act).\n\n\n\nThe move to cast surrogacy as a foreign threat comes amid multiple reports of Chinese nationals using American surrogates, including a 2025 Wall Street Journal report of a Chinese billionaire who had dozens of children via this procedure. Also, last year, Kayla Elliott from Corpus Christi told The Center for Bioethics and Culture Network, a California-based organization that supports a global ban on surrogacy, that she was a surrogate to one of many children for a Chinese couple in California who was later arrested on child endangerment charges. The surrogacy agency Elliott worked with was also based in California.\n\n\n\nLast week, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected President Donald Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship, drawing sharp criticism from conservatives. State Rep. Brian Harrison, R-Midlothian, wants the Legislature to pass laws criminalizing participation in birth tourism, stop issuing birth certificates to children of non-citizens and expand the attorney general’s office powers to investigate birth tourism businesses. In April, Attorney General Ken Paxton sued a Houston birthing center, claiming it was “facilitating the invasion of Chinese nationals into Texas for the sole purpose of birthing children.”\n\n\n\n“My read on it is there does seems to be an appetite to pass some legislation, at the very least dealing with commercial surrogacy, or with contracts with individuals who are not citizens of the United States, that’s like the baseline to me,” said John Seago, president of Texas Right to Life.\n\n\n\nSeago said banning foreign surrogacy is the first step to ultimately regulating the surrogacy industry. His group does not support commercial surrogacy, which involves paying a surrogate to carry the fetus, and wants the Legislature to consider ethical limits on surrogacy broadly, mirroring larger conversations happening among conservative policy think tanks. Texas Public Policy Foundation, which declined to comment on the story, published a Dallas Morning News op-ed in April about the use of surrogacy in the “commodification of babies” and its alleged use in child trafficking.\n\n\n\nThe GOP platform also supports banning “third-party egg and sperm donations and the commercialization of human reproduction in Texas,” which could particularly harm access for Texans who want to have biological children but cannot with their partners or do not have partners.\n\n\n\n“For us it’s really a question of how much higher we go to really put in a more robust ethical framework around the practice of surrogacy in Texas,” said Seago.\n\n\n\nTexas first set up a legal framework for surrogacy in 2003 by allowing the biological parents, also called the intended parents, to be recognized as the child’s legal parents before birth. The law made Texas one of the country’s more surrogacy-friendly states, surrogacy agencies say. Since then, the Legislature has largely left surrogacy laws untouched.\n\n\n\nSurrogacy is no longer just a family law issue but part of a larger political fight over who can use fertility services in the U.S., surrogacy agencies said. Egg Donor & Surrogate Solutions estimates that 5% of its cases involve foreign nationals, while Dallas-based Simple Surrogacy estimates that less than 20% of all cases involve foreign nationals.\n\n\n\n“Families that need surrogates, they’re cancer survivors, they’re women without a uterus, they’re same-sex couples, they’re people with unexplained infertility that just don’t know, or they’re more at advanced maternal age,” said Encalade.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. is globally considered the gold standard for surrogacy, which is why surrogacy agencies say parents come here for treatment. They are not looking for American surrogates for the purpose of birthright citizenship, but rather to have a safe surrogacy process, said Stephanie Scott, executive program director of Simple Surrogacy. Many parents who contract with her agency have tried to use surrogates in other countries, and it has either been unsuccessful or they lost a lot of money, she said.\n\n\n\n“They want checks and balances,” Scott said.\n\n\n\nIf surrogacy is limited or banned statewide, like with other medical treatments, Texans will leave the state to seek the service, Encalade said. For those who do not have the resources to take that extra step, the state will be depriving good families of having the children they deserve, Scott said.\n\n\n\n“Texas surrogacy law changes of any kind would likely have a chilling effect on Texans struggling with infertility being able to complete their families through surrogacy here,” said Christine Henry Andresen, an attorney with Austin-based CHA Law Group specializing in surrogacy law.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/texas-news/state-lawmakers-explore-banning-foreign-nationals-from-using-texas-surrogates/4045960/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Katlyn Ma | The Texas Tribune","publishDate":"2026-07-07T13:41:12.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2020%2F11%2FTexas-Flag.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"state-lawmakers-to-explore-banning-foreign-nationals-from-using-texas-surrogates"},{"id":"fbdhbq","title":"City of Fort Worth files lawsuit to have East Lancaster property declared a nuisance","excerpt":"The city of Fort Worth has filed a lawsuit seeking to reduce crime at a property on East Lancaster. \n\n\n\nThe lawsuit seeks to have the Central Motel at 5800 E.

Lancaster Avenue declared a common nuisance under Chapter 125 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, alleging the property has been the site of persistent criminal activity.\n\n\n\nThe lawsuit is intended to address chronic criminal behavior at the property. Through the lawsuit, Fort Worth asked the court to declare the property a common nuisance and issue a permanent injunction requiring measures designed to reduce criminal activity, improve management practices and enhance security, the city said.\n\n\n\n“Chronic criminal activity that threatens our neighborhoods will not be ignored,” City Manager Jay Chapa said. “Property owners have a responsibility to operate their properties in a manner that does not allow persistent criminal activity. The city will use every lawful tool available to protect our residents, support our police officers and hold property owners accountable.”\n\n\n\nAccording to the lawsuit, Fort Worth Police have responded to numerous reported incidents associated with the property over the past year. Alleged criminal activity includes prostitution, narcotics offenses, weapons violations and a homicide investigation.\n\n\n\nAs part of the lawsuit, the city is asking the court to impose measures to reduce criminal activity at the property. Under Chapter 125, a judge also has the authority, if warranted, to order the property closed for up to one year.\n\n\n\nFort Worth Police Chief Eddie Garcia, along with other city officials, addressed the lawsuit on Tuesday.\n\n\n\nIn December 2025, the city said it was creating the Nuisance Enforcement Task Force, or NET Force, comprised of 10 city departments, to slam owners with a slew of joint inspections.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/fort-worth-lawsuit-east-lancaster-property-nuisance/4045820/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) -

Meanwhile, investigations into similar illnesses have been going on in 28 other states, including in Ohio, where people just across the Michigan border are also becoming sick.\n\n\n\nMichigan officials first announced the outbreak last week, when they were aware of more than 170 cases — all in the southeastern corner of the state — since June 22. Michigan usually identifies only about 50 cases each year.\n\n\n\nOn Wednesday, the state reported the number had grown to 992, including about 40 hospitalizations. Just across the state line, Lucas County, Ohio, reported 306 cases as of Wednesday. Northwest Ohio has seen more than 500 cases.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCyclospora surges can be tricky to investigate, and food poisoning sources can be hard to establish. But “there is clearly a linked outbreak happening right now,” Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, Michigan’s chief medical executive, told The Associated Press on Wednesday.\n\n\n\nHere’s what to know about the current situation:\n\n\n\nWhat is cyclospora?\n\n\n\nCyclospora is a microscopic, spherical parasite that commonly causes watery diarrhea “with frequent and sometimes explosive bowel movements,” according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The illness, called cyclosporiasis, is not usually life threatening and is typically treated with antibiotics. Outbreaks tend to occur most often in the late spring and summer.\n\n\n\nThe heat-loving parasite infects the bowels and spreads through feces. In the past, people have been infected by consuming fruits or vegetables that were exposed to feces-contaminated irrigation water.\n\n\n\nIt’s less common than a number of other kinds of foodborne illnesses, including salmonella and E. coli. For years, few U.S. cyclospora outbreaks were reported each year. But the number started rising about a decade ago, with a particularly notable spike in 2018 and 2019. Experts attribute the increases to climate change and better detection. \n\n\n\nHow does this outbreak compare to previous ones in the U.S.?\n\n\n\nComprehensive data on cyclospora outbreaks is lacking. But available information shows only a small number of documented outbreaks in the last 20 years have surpassed 1,000 cases. That short list includes a 1997 outbreak tied to Guatemalan raspberries that sickened more than 1,000 in the U.S. and Canada, and a 2019 outbreak linked to Mexican basil that sickened more than 2,400.\n\n\n\nThere are several reasons it’s challenging to know the exact toll, said Melanie Firestone, a University of Minnesota foodborne illness researcher. Some tests used to check for types of food poisoning are not geared to detect cyclospora, “so there is a lot of underreporting when it comes to this,” she said.\n\n\n\nOther challenges: Technicians aren’t able to grow the parasite in labs, making it hard to draw evidence from contaminated produce. And it can be hard to figure out what food sick people had in common, because sometimes it’s a single ingredient that might be common in multiple recipes — like basil or cilantro. \n\n\n\nAlso, it’s possible that food distributors may channel contaminated foods to both grocery stores and restaurants, making it hard to discern where tainted food came from. Investigations can take months and sometimes never find a clear source.\n\n\n\nWhat’s the current situation?\n\n\n\nCases seem to be surging in and around southeastern Michigan. But it’s not considered a national health emergency. \n\n\n\nThere’s no evidence that the parasite has evolved to become more infectious, said Dianna Blau, the CDC’s acting parasitic diseases branch chief.\n\n\n\nThousands of cyclospora illnesses are reported in the U.S. each year and it’s not yet clear how unusual this year will be, she added. That said, the case total so far is four times higher than at the same point last year, according to current CDC national data, which lags dramatically from what’s being reported by the states.\n\n\n\nMichigan appears to be suffering the worst of it, but the state’s aggressiveness in investigating and reporting cases may be “part of the reason why this looks like a Michigan problem,” Bagdasarian said.\n\n\n\nHow can you protect yourself from cyclospora?\n\n\n\nPeople who have diarrhea that hasn’t gone away on its own within a few days should see a health provider and discuss the possibility of cyclospora, officials say.\n\n\n\nThe best way to prevent infection with a parasite is to avoid food or water that may have been contaminated. \n\n\n\nFresh produce should be thoroughly washed before being eaten. But be aware that cyclospora can really stick to some foods, so washing may not eliminate the risk of infection. \n\n\n\nAs Michigan officials investigate the potential source, they recommend consumers purchase whole heads of lettuce rather than prewashed, bagged lettuce or salad mixes, and to remove the outer two to three leaves before washing the remaining leaves under running water. \n\n\n\nThey also say to cook vegetables when possible.\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nThe Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

The oyster farmer and Marine veteran, who denies the allegation, had secured the Democratic nomination in June to go up against longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins in November.\n\n\n\nIn an editorial published in the Portland Press Herald, Dempsey wrote that Mainers are facing challenges including housing, healthcare and education, and whoever is elected as Maine’s next senator should work to enact meaningful change.\n\n\n\n“As I reflected on all of this, I kept coming back to one question: Do I truly want to serve in Congress?” Dempsey wrote. “After a lot of thought, I realized the answer is no. Not because public service isn’t honorable — it absolutely is. But because I believe I can contribute more effectively through the life I’ve already built.”\n\n\n\nDempsey did not endorse any other candidate from those currently teasing their interest in replacing Platner, nor did he name Platner.

It’s still used across multiple sports, and a version of it called “FitnessGram” is used in schools.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCooper was speaking at a conference in France in 1968 when Brazilian soccer fitness coach Claudio Coutinho asked him to create an aerobic training program for his players. Depending on position, some players run between six and eight miles per match. That can be even more demanding in the summer heat.\n\n\n\nCooper developed a workout routine that included the run test to monitor improvements in the players’ fitness levels. Players logged 20 miles a week running at about a 7-minute pace, in addition to the running that happened in practice and matches.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“And the final test of the 12-minute test was 2.3 miles, and 12 minutes went from 1.86 miles to be able to run 2.3, almost 2.4 miles in 12 minutes. So they were endurance athletes,” Cooper said. \n\n\n\nIt’s important, Cooper said, because soccer is a sport of sprints. “When you sprint and then you rest, you sprint, and when you rest, and your ability to recover after sprinting is much better if you’re endurance trained, and you recover more rapidly.”\n\n\n\nCooper told the players that with his training, they’d play better in the second game of each match because of improved endurance, reduced injuries that occur when athletes are fatigued, and aerobic fitness would prolong their careers.\n\n\n\nThe Brazilian team racked up six wins in a row that year to beat Italy and win the 1970 World Cup in Mexico. Legendary soccer player Pele led them on the field.\n\n\n\nCooper says that victory made him a hero in Brazil and started an aerobic fitness craze. \n\n\n\nIn 1970, there was no word for “jogging” in Portuguese. So, Brazilians called it “doing the Cooper.” Brazilians saw his 12-minute test as synonymous with a regular workout. Dr. Cooper says even today there are signs on Brazilian streets and promenades that mark distances for the Cooper Test. \n\n\n\nCooper, 95, talked about his past with the FIFA World Cup and soccer training.\n\n\n\nWhen Dallas hosted the World Cup in 1994, pro referees tested and trained at Cooper Aerobics Center. And years later, professional referees and linemen returned to Dallas to train and spend time with Dr. Cooper.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs the World Cup continues, Cooper believes the players on the pitch today are fitter than when he first got involved with soccer, and there’s pride in knowing he played a part. \n\n\n\n“I think that all spurred from the results we have with the Brazilian team,” he said. \n\n\n\nCooper adds it does not take World Cup aspirations to get fit.\n\n\n\n“You just want to get 30 minutes of exercise collective or sustained, most days a week. Why can’t you do that? You take a walk at lunch, maybe after dinner at night. But walk the dogs every once in a while,” Cooper said.If he has one word of advice for anyone, it’s discipline.\n\n\n\n“Discipline because once you start it you keep it up. Fitness as a journey and not a destination, and keep up for the rest of your life\n\n\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/dallas-doctor-recalls-training-1970-fifa-world-cup-champions-brazil-in-aerobics/4045739/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Deborah Ferguson","publishDate":"2026-07-07T08:44:19.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fposter-frame-1783427629939.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dallas-doctor-recalls-training-1970-fifa-world-cup-champions-brazil-in-aerobics"},{"id":"hc6e2l","title":"Talarico talks about 2026's top issues & the GOP midterm convention in Dallas","excerpt":"Texans head to the polls in a little under four months, with Republican John Cornyn’s U.S. Senate seat up for grabs.

The incumbent lost his runoff to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who will face off with democratic state lawmaker James Talarico. \n\n\n\nState Rep. Talarico spent Monday in Dallas, volunteering at a food pantry and speaking with needy North Texans about affordability.\n\n\n\nTalarico blames Pres. Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” which passed about a year ago.\n\n\n\n“That bill spent most of its money on the top one percent. Which, by the way, now owns more wealth than the entire middle class in this country. So it was a transfer of wealth from working people to the richest Americans,” Talarico said. \n\n\n\nTalarico also visited a coffee shop to talk to a few people who lost government health insurance after new rules kicked in as part of that Trump tax cut and spending bill.\n\n\n\nThe Ken Paxton campaign responded with a statement: “Talarico’s claiming to care about ‘affordability’ is laughable; Texans won’t be so easily convinced that he stands with them when he has opposed every tax-cutting measure that would have put money back in their pockets.”\n\n\n\nThe Paxton campaign pointed to several state laws Talarico voted against – including another ban on income tax, a ban on the inheritance tax, wealth tax, and capital gains tax as well.\n\n\n\nTalarico said those tax breaks are giveaways to Texans who are already wealthy.\n\n\n\n“All of those were going to be tax cuts for the wealthiest Texans at the expense of working people. That’s exactly what I’ve done in my career in the legislature. I have fought for working families,” Talarico said. \n\n\n\nSeveral recent polls show this race within the margin of error between Talarico and Paxton. \n\n\n\nIn the next couple of weeks, the campaigns should begin announcing their finance reports, so we’ll get a good idea of how much money each candidate has raised in donations.\n\n\n\nTalarico also dismissed the GOP convention coming to Dallas as an effort to blunt what he called a growing “bipartisan backlash” against “extremism and corruption.”\n\n\n\n Talarico said President Trump and GOP leaders picked Texas because they fear losing political ground, including in his closely watched Senate race.\n\n\n\n“They are concerned about what it could mean in November of this year,” Talarico said of Republicans. “That’s why they’re choosing Texas.”\n\n\n\nHe said Republicans could have held the convention in “North Carolina, Georgia or Ohio.”\n\n\n\nRead more from our media partners, The Dallas Morning News.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/politics/texas-politics/talarico-talks-about-2026-polling-top-issues-and-the-gop-midterm-convention-in-dallas/4045722/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Gromer Jeffers Jr., Political Writer | The Dallas Morning News, Phil Prazan and ","publishDate":"2026-07-07T07:57:12.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F04%2FGettyImages-2263914665.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4000%2C2667","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"talarico-talks-about-2026s-top-issues-the-gop-midterm-convention-in-dallas"},{"id":"ro0zl6","title":"Carrollton Police rolls out new paleta cart to connect with community","excerpt":"We are in the middle of the hot Texas dog days of summer.

Images of the Qatari-gifted jet captured since its unveiling show it is not equipped with some of the same missile detection and countermeasure systems as the older jets. \n\n\n\nThe swap was also announced less than a day after the U.S. military conducted a series of large strikes in Iran in retaliation for its attacks on merchant shipping in the region. Iran shares a border with Turkey.\n\n\n\n\n\nTrump first announced in a social media post that the gleaming new plane he had proudly shown off a day earlier would instead visit the U.K. base on the way home so military members could “tour the Aircraft.” Trump said he instead would be flying home in an older plane previously used as Air Force One.\n\n\n\nWhen asked later during a news conference if security concerns had played a role in the switch, Trump didn’t directly answer but said that when it came to Iran, he was “No. 1 on the list for killing.”\n\n\n\nWhen another reporter followed up, Trump said he’d be “going home by normal methods” while the new plane would be shown off to troops.\n\n\n\nWhen asked if the missing countermeasures systems played a role in the jet being swapped out, the U.S. Air Force directed questions to the White House. \n\n\n\n\n\n“The new Air Force One is a state-of-the-art aircraft that has been fitted with high-level security protocols that ensure the safety of the President and his staff,” spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement. “As the President has said recently, there are many enemies of America who have their sights on him, and we use every tool at our disposal— including distraction and misdirection— to address those threats.” \n\n\n\nTrump departed Turkey aboard one of the older Boeing VC-25As that have carried presidents for three and a half decades. Consumer flight trackers were unable to monitor its transponder early in the flight after takeoff, suggesting it had been temporarily disabled by the crew — a security measure used when ferrying the president to and from high-risk environments like war zones, not a major NATO ally hosting a long-scheduled summit.\n\n\n\nOther world leaders’ flights departed with trackable transponders, including those from Germany and the U.K.\n\n\n\nThe luxurious Boeing 747-800 gifted by Qatar, that was modified to carry Trump, departed earlier Wednesday from Turkey and landed at RAF Mildenhall on Wednesday afternoon, flight trackers showed.\n\n\n\n\n\nIran has several missiles and drones in its inventory with enough range to make the roughly 800-mile flight from its own borders to Turkey, including some of its Shahed drones and Shahab ballistic missiles.\n\n\n\nHowever, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Iran does not possess weaponry that would be capable of effectively striking England at a range of roughly 2,500 miles.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. Air Force, which oversees the running of the fleet of aircraft used by every president, had previously said that they had to prioritize making only some of the necessary upgrades and changes in order to deliver the Qatari jet — also known as the “bridge” aircraft — into service.\n\n\n\nThe Air Force argued that the rapid conversion of the jet was done “without accepting any risk regarding security, safety, or secure communications,” but did concede that “several highly complex engineering modifications required for the final (Air Force One aircraft) were intentionally excluded from the Bridge aircraft.”\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump administration\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 19\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPresident Donald Trump unveils the new Air Force One, a converted Qatari jet\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump administration\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMay 11, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump defends the prospect of Qatar gifting him a plane to use as Air Force One\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nJeremiah Gertler, a senior analyst for Teal Group, an aviation and defense consulting firm, previously told The Associated Press that the absence of countermeasure systems, as well as a seemingly smaller number of communications antennas, suggested that the Qatari jet was better suited to only work as a domestic aircraft.\n\n\n\nTrump’s first flight on the new Qatari jet was to North Dakota last week.\n\n\n\nThe original Air Force One planes were built from scratch near the end of the Cold War and they were hardened against the effects of a nuclear blast and included a range of security features, such as anti-missile countermeasures and an onboard operating room. \n\n\n\nThe jets are also equipped with air-to-air refueling capabilities for contingencies, though it has never been utilized with a president on board.\n\n\n\nThe pair of Boeing jets that are currently being modified to act as the permanent upgrades to the Air Force One jets have been delayed, and are expected to be delivered in 2028.\n\n\n\nAssociated Press writer Zeke Miller contributed to this report.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/politics/president-trump/trump-flies-back-turkey-old-air-force-one-not-qatari-jet/4046655/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Michelle L.

Despite the arena being home to the Chiefs, Kelce failed to get close to Swift and expressed his disappointment.\n\n\n\n“She doesn’t meet anybody, or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal,” he quipped. The podcast asked on Instagram: “Anyone know how to get a bracelet to @taylorswift13? … asking for a friend.”\n\n\n\nBy September 2023, Kelce was hinting his efforts had achieved some success, but declined to elaborate amid speculation and as reports surfaced that the two had been “quietly hanging out.” Then, Kelce revealed on a sports talk show that he’d invited Swift to a game at Arrowhead. “I threw the ball in her court,” he said.\n\n\n\nDays later, Swift took him up on his offer and attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game seated alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, in a moment that effectively confirmed the growing connection. The two left the stadium together in Kelce’s purple Chevelle. Her appearance, the first of many, sent NFL viewership and Kelce jersey sales surging.\n\n\n\n\n\nIn October 2023, Swift and Kelce were spotted together multiple times in New York City, including intimate dinners and a surprise “Saturday Night Live” cameo. Their comfort level in public increased and the pair was photographed leaving after‑parties hand‑in‑hand, signaling that the relationship was getting serious.\n\n\n\nKelce, meanwhile, traveled internationally during the NFL bye week in November to attend Swift’s Eras Tour stop in Argentina, where she changed a lyric in “Karma” to reference him. “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me,” she sang.\n\n\n\nThe relationship continued into 2024, with Swift attending playoff games, including the AFC Championship Game, where she joined Kelce on the field after the Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens to advance to the Super Bowl. The couple kissed, and in a viral moment heard around the world, Kelce tells Swift, “I love you. So much it’s not funny.”\n\n\n\nWeeks later, Swift raced across nine time zones after performing in Tokyo to attend the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win against the San Francisco 49ers. The “Love Story” singer again kissed Kelce on the field, making it clear they were not shying away from public displays of affection.\n\n\n\n\n\nThroughout spring and summer 2024, the couple balanced Swift’s touring schedule and Kelce’s offseason commitments, appearing together at charity events, concerts and family gatherings. Kelce even made his Eras stage debut at one of London concerts, donning a tuxedo and top hat and carrying Swift in his arms during a choreographed bit before “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”\n\n\n\nThe two began showing very public support and admiration for one another, with Kelce calling her “unbelievable” on his “New Heights” podcast, and Swift shouting out Kelce as she accepted an MTV Video Music Award.  \n\n\n\n“Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic,” she said.\n\n\n\nWhen Swift announced her highly anticipated 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” she did it on Kelce’s podcast, her first-ever podcast appearance. She also credited “New Heights” for getting her a boyfriend.\n\n\n\n\n\nKelce, in return, credited the Eras Tour for getting him a girlfriend. “I see you on that stage and see how you can get an entire stadium going, and then I get you in a room and it’s like I’ve known you forever,” he said. “It’s the easiest conversation I ever had, and it was just so much fun that it knocked my socks off.”\n\n\n\nIn August 2025, after two years of dating, Swift and Kelce announced their engagement in a five-photo carousel post on their Instagram accounts.  Kelce proposed in a floral‑filled garden of his home in Lee’s Summit, Missouri.\n\n\n\n“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the post was captioned.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/dior-reveals-how-taylor-swifts-first-wedding-photos-unveiled/4047121/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Julia Elbaba","publishDate":"2026-07-09T12:34:33.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fimage-60-1.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3000%2C1692","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dior-reveals-how-taylor-swifts-first-wedding-photos-will-be-unveiled"},{"id":"i9bh26","title":"Israeli strike kills World Cup screening organizer in Gaza just before kickoff","excerpt":"An Israeli strike in Gaza just before the kickoff of the Egypt-Argentina World Cup match killed a top Palestinian aid official who helped organize public screenings of the game across the enclave, according to local health officials.\n\n\n\nThe blast that killed Mohamed al-Wahidi, an official with Eg...","content":"An Israeli strike in Gaza just before the kickoff of the Egypt-Argentina World Cup match killed a top Palestinian aid official who helped organize public screenings of the game across the enclave, according to local health officials.\n\n\n\nThe blast that killed Mohamed al-Wahidi, an official with Egypt’s relief arm in Gaza, turned what was supposed to be a moment of celebration — the live screening Tuesday of a potential upset against Argentina by an Arab team — into a reminder of how the near-daily Israeli strikes are continuing to kill civilians despite a truce reached in October. \n\n\n\nIn the months since the ceasefire, Israeli attacks have killed 1,084 people, including nine killed by strikes and gunfire across Gaza on Wednesday, according to local health officials. Among the dead were two children, as well as a truck driver who was gunned down at a roadblock along the Philadelphi Corridor, an Israeli-controlled strip of land that runs along Gaza’s border with Egypt. \n\n\n\nThe Israeli military said it shot the truck driver after he “ran towards the troops.” Another man was killed on the street by a drone in Gaza City. \n\n\n\nThe strike that killed Wahidi on Tuesday hit a car in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City at dusk, according to Dr. Mohamed Abu Selmiya, the director of Shifa Hospital. He said three others were killed in the attack, including the driver, Ahmed Daghmush, 33, and two brothers, 10-year-old Hamza al-Deri and 8-year-old Fari.\n\n\n\nThe Israeli military said Wahidi, who helped organize the soccer screenings in Gaza on Tuesday, was not a target of the strike. It said the attack was aimed at a Hamas militant and that it was checking whether Daghmush was the target. Abu Selmiya said he was a taxi driver without any known links to militant groups.\n\n\n\nThe committee for which Wahidi worked is the relief arm of the Egyptian government, which provides food, shelter and other assistance to Palestinians in Gaza.\n\n\n\nMany in the Palestinian diaspora live across the border in Egypt, which was a key mediator of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire.\n\n\n\nTeam Egypt’s Gaza fan base has only grown since the start of the tournament, with coach Hossam Hassan spotlighting the plight of the Palestinian people in press briefings and on the pitch. He dedicated his team’s victory over Australia on Friday to both Egyptians and Palestinians and waved a Palestinian flag.\n\n\n\n\n\nIn a Monday briefing before the match against Argentina, Hassan urged the world to do more for the Palestinian people.\n\n\n\n“I urge you, I urge all media officers, all athletes worldwide, regardless of their identities, maybe we can convey a collective message that is as follows, let the Palestinian people be, let them exist, let them live a life of their own,” he said.\n\n\n\nIsrael’s military says its strikes target militants and it regrets harm to civilians. Five Israeli soldiers have been killed since the ceasefire went into effect in October.\n\n\n\nThe Palestinian death toll from the Israel-Hamas war stands at 73,110, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which is part of the Hamas-led government and is staffed by medical professionals who maintain detailed records viewed as generally reliable by United Nations agencies and independent experts. It does not distinguish between civilians and militants but says women and children make up around half of all fatalities.\n\n\n\nThe war began when Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing around 1,200 people and taking 251 others hostage.\n\n\n\nMagdy reported from Cairo and Frankel from Jerusalem.

It was silence.\n\n\n\nCarolina Moreno opened her eyes in the hospital room expecting to hear the reassuring thump of her unborn baby’s heartbeat. Instead, she heard the sharp alarm of a fetal monitor that could no longer find a signal.\n\n\n\n“I thought the worst,” Moreno, 27, tells TODAY.com.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA nurse rushed to reposition her, assuming the monitor had slipped. Babies frequently move during labor, making it difficult to capture a heartbeat, especially late in delivery. Moreno says her thoughts immediately went to the darkest place.\n\n\n\nThen she felt something unusual beneath her hand.\n\n\n\n“There’s something on the bed,” she remembered thinking.\n\n\n\nThe nurse pulled back the blanket to find Moreno’s son curled into a tiny fetal position. He had already been born.\n\n\n\nBy Moreno’s estimate, he had gone unnoticed for about six minutes.\n\n\n\nWhile the scenario is rare, it can happen, says Dr. Justin Brandt, director of maternal-fetal medicine at NYU Langone. A dense epidural can blunt a mother’s urge to push, allowing the uterus to continue moving the baby through the birth canal without much voluntary effort.\n\n\n\n“Completely unrecognized delivery is uncommon at term but can occur,” Brandt says, particularly in women who have given birth before and are deeply exhausted.\n\n\n\nNo one in the room, not Moreno, numbed by an epidural; not her husband, Jorge Carrera, asleep on a couch across the room; or her sister and cousin, who had nodded off nearby, had realized what had happened.\n\n\n\n“It was the biggest shock of my life,” Moreno says.“I just kept thinking, ‘Please tell me he’s okay.’”\n\n\n\nOnly then did another surprise register.\n\n\n\nIt was a boy.\n\n\n\nMoreno and Carrera, who live in Alberta, Canada, and are also parents to a 4-year-old son and a 23-month-old daughter, had spent nine months resisting the temptation to learn their baby’s sex. The announcement, under ordinary circumstances, might have been the emotional climax of the birth. But, she says, it barely sank in.\n\n\n\n“I think I was excited for about two seconds,” she says. “Then all I cared about was whether he was alive.”\n\n\n\nMoreno laughs now as she remembers how her husband, awakened by the commotion, instinctively reached for his phone to record what he assumed was the birth, smiling as he walked toward the bed.\n\n\n\nOnly seconds later, he realized he had already missed it. “He stopped recording as soon as he saw I was panicking,” Moreno says.\n\n\n\nHospital staff quickly assessed the infant, who responded immediately after being picked up. Moreno is emphatic that she does not blame the medical team.\n\n\n\n“They were incredible,” she says. “My nurse reacted so fast. Everyone came running.”\n\n\n\nToday, her son is three months old, healthy, and, according to his mother, the calmest member of the family.\n\n\n\nFor a baby who entered the world so quietly that no one realized he had arrived, Moreno says his easygoing temperament somehow feels fitting.\n\n\n\n“He’s just the chillest baby,” she says. “You lay him down and he falls right asleep.”\n\n\n\nhis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

I never wanted to retire because of a milestone, a number, or a date on the calendar. I wanted the game to tell me when it was time.\n\n\n\n“Over the last several months, I’ve realized that time has come. While I’m fully committed to giving my team everything I have for the rest of this season, I’ve decided this will be my last. It’s fitting that I get to finish where it all started – with the Detroit Tigers, the organization that drafted me and gave me my first opportunity.”\n\n\n\nVerlander, 43, is in the midst of his 21st big league season after rejoining the Tigers over the offseason. It’s been an injury-riddled campaign so far, as Verlander made just one appearance on March 30 before hip and hamstring injuries. He remains on the 60-day IL, but Commissioner Rob Manfred has added Verlander to the AL All-Star roster as a “Legend Pick.”\n\n\n\nVerlander started his career in Detroit in 2005 and played with the club until 2017, when he was traded to the Houston Astros. During his first run with the Tigers, he won Rookie of the Year (2006), Cy Young (2011) and MVP (2011) while leading MLB in strikeouts four times.\n\n\n\nAfter the trade to Houston, Verlander continued his success and helped launch a perennial contender. The Astros won the World Series in 2017 after acquiring him mid-season, then added another title in 2022. Verlander was named ALCS MVP in 2017.\n\n\n\nVerlander signed with the New York Mets for the 2023 season, but was traded back to the Astros that summer. He stayed in Houston for 2024 before signing one-year deals with the San Francisco Giants (2025) and Tigers (2026).\n\n\n\nOver his 21 seasons, Verlander threw three no-hitters, won the pitching triple crown once, the ERA title twice and made 10 All-Star teams (including 2026). His career numbers include 3,554 strikeouts, a 3.33 ERA and a 266-159 record over 556 games (all starts).","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/mlb/justin-verlander-retire-2026-season-tigers/4046538/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Logan Reardon","publishDate":"2026-07-08T12:51:14.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2F260708-justin-verlander-getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2700%2C1519","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"time-has-come-tigers-pitcher-justin-verlander-will-retire-after-2026-season"},{"id":"mqd3k7","title":"Dig World hosting grand opening this weekend in Grapevine","excerpt":"If you've ever wanted to drive a bulldozer or operate an excavator, your chance is here.

But despite the TV series’ massive popularity, it won’t be taking home any awards when the 78th Emmy Awards airs this September.\n\n\n\nThe Television Academy announced its full list of nominees on Wednesday for the upcoming awards show. Each year, there are always surprises and snubs. But one of the hottest series of the 2025-2026 season was always guaranteed to be excluded from the list, and it comes down to the Emmy Awards specific eligibility rules.\n\n\n\nOne of “Heated Rivalry’s” breakout actors, though, did receive a nod at the 2026 Emmys. Connor Storrie, who plays Russian hockey player Ilya Rozanov, was nominated for outstanding guest actor in a comedy series for hosting “Saturday Night Live” in February. He faces Michael J. Fox, Brett Goldstein, Hamish Linklater, Christopher McDonald and Rob Reiner, who received a posthumous nomination for Season 4 of “The Bear.”\n\n\n\nWhy is ‘Heated Rivalry’ ineligible for Emmy Award nominations?\n\n\n\nOne Emmy policy prevents the show from scoring a nomination.\n\n\n\nAccording to the Emmys’ rules and procedures, foreign television production is ineligible “unless it is the result of a co-production (both financially and creatively) between U.S. and foreign partners, which precedes the start of production, and with a purpose to be shown on U.S. television.”\n\n\n\n“Heated Rivalry,” based on Canadian author Rachel Reid’s 2019 romantic hockey novel of the same name, was produced in Canada. The TV adaptation, which was first announced in June 2025, is original to Crave, a Canadian streamer.\n\n\n\n“This was a Canadian book. We’re Canadian producers,” creator Jacob Tierney told “CBS Mornings” in February.\n\n\n\nThe show was able to air in the U.S. when, nine days before its November premiere, HBO Max announced it had acquired the rights.\n\n\n\nAccording to IMDB, the show’s country of origin is Canada. The website lists multiple production companies behind the show, including Bell Media, Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund, Accent Aigu Entertainment, Canada Media Fund, Crave and Sphere Abacus.\n\n\n\nTierney and “Heated Rivalry” co-creator Brendan Brady appeared on NPR’s “Planet Money” in February 2026 to discuss the show and its production process. Brady said the show was “made in the Canadian system,” which he described as “very different from the U.S.”\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEmmy Awards\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 8\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 Emmy nominations: See the full list\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEmmy Awards\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 7\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t‘Law & Order: SVU' star Mariska Hargitay to host 2026 Emmy Awards on NBC\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nWhat awards is ‘Heated Rivalry’ eligible for?\n\n\n\n“Heated Rivalry” is eligible for the International Emmy Awards, per The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline, which will be held on Nov. 23, 2026, in New York City.

They filled our home with laughter, music, hugs, and endless love,” Oswald wrote in a GoFundMe. “They were deeply loved by their family, friends, teachers, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing them.”\n\n\n\nThe fundraising page said all donations will not go to the Oswald family, but will instead be donated to a children’s charity in Caleb and Abigail’s memory. \n\n\n\n“While our hearts are broken beyond words, we want their legacy to be one of hope, compassion, and helping others,” he wrote. \n\n\n\nThe message marks the first identities to be released following the holiday weekend devastation. \n\n\n\nCaleb and Abigail were among three children killed when what authorities described as a “sudden and severe” storm struck the Lake Geneva area, causing a boat carrying 10 people to take on water, capsize and eventually sink. Six adults and and one child aboard were rescued by first responders.\n\n\n\nThe three remaining children – ages 10, 7 and 6 years old – were initially reported missing following the incident, but later recovered with the sunken boat underwater and taken to an area hospital, where they were pronounced dead. Each child was wearing a life jacket of “proper size and fit” at the time of the incident, authorities said.\n\n\n\nMedical findings showed the three children suffered no external injuries, and the preliminary cause of death was consistent with freshwater drowning.\n\n\n\nOfficials said Monday the boat’s occupants were from Batavia, Wheaton and Fontana, Wisconsin.\n\n\n\nA spokesperson for Wheaton-based Community Unit School District 200 said multiple students who died attended a school within the district.\n\n\n\n“On behalf of Community Unit School District 200, our deepest condolences are with the family and friends of the children who died in a tragic boating incident in Lake Geneva on July 3,” the spokesperson said. “We ask that you join us in supporting these families during this difficult time, and keep them in your thoughts as we all cope with this incredible loss.”\n\n\n\nOswald owns a Plainfield towing company known as Todd’s Towing and Recovery. \n\n\n\n“Many friends, family members, and members of our community have asked how they can support us during this unimaginable time. In lieu of flowers, meals, gifts, or other expressions of sympathy, we ask that you consider making a donation to this memorial fund,” the company wrote on social media. “The Oswald family will not keep these funds. They will be donated to support children and families through a charitable organization, ensuring Caleb and Abigail’s memory continues to make a positive difference in the lives of others.” \n\n\n\nRead Oswald’s full message below: \n\n\n\nOn July 3, Caleb (age 6) and Abigail (age 7) Oswald lost their lives in a tragic boating accident caused by an unprecedented severe storm on Lake Geneva, WI. This fundraiser is not for the Oswald family—donations will be given to a children’s charity in Caleb and Abigail’s memory. While our hearts are broken beyond words, we want their legacy to be one of hope, compassion, and helping others.\n\n\n\nCaleb had the sweetest heart and a smile that could brighten anyone’s day. He loved music so much that he was always asking Alexa to play his favorite songs. As soon as the music started, he would light up, dancing and singing with pure happiness. Caleb was fascinated by trucks of every kind and could spend hours playing with them, talking about them, or getting excited whenever he spotted one. He loved Chick-fil-A so much that he would proudly tell everyone he wanted to work there when he grew up. Caleb found happiness in the simple things, and his laughter and excitement were contagious.\n\n\n\nAbigail was full of personality and had the quickest wit of anyone we knew. She always had a funny comment or joke ready and could make everyone around her laugh. She loved swimming, dancing, and filling every room with her energy. She had a huge heart for others and dreamed of becoming a teacher one day because she wanted to help children learn and grow. She was kind, loving, and wise beyond her years.\n\n\n\nCaleb and Abigail were more than brother and sister—they were best friends. They filled our home with laughter, music, hugs, and endless love. They were deeply loved by their family, friends, teachers, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing them. Even in the face of this unimaginable tragedy, we hope Caleb and Abigail’s lives will continue to make a difference by helping other children for years to come. Knowing their legacy is bringing hope to other families will help bring some comfort to us as parents.\n\n\n\nMany friends, family members, and members of our community have asked how they can support us during this unimaginable time. In lieu of flowers, meals, gifts, or other expressions of sympathy, we ask that you consider making a donation to this charity fund. The Oswald family will not keep these funds. They will be donated to support children and families through a charitable organization, ensuring Caleb and Abigail’s memory continues to make a positive difference in the lives of others.\n\n\n\nThank you for honoring Caleb and Abigail in a way that reflects the love, kindness, and joy they brought to everyone who knew them.

And I believed Joe Biden was president.”\n\n\n\nThe 69-year-old Couric recalled she was in Aspen and spent the morning at a farmer’s market where she scored iced coffee,peaches, nectarines, a bag of kettle corn and “a cute straw hat I really didn’t need.”\n\n\n\nBut when husband John Molner drove her tothe Aspen Ideas Festival later that day, Couric said she went blank.\n\n\n\nThe condition impacts between 3.4 to 10.4 people per 100,000 per year, according to the National Institutes of Health.\n\n\n\nBut for people 50 or over, the rate of transient global amnesia jumps to 23.5 to 32 per 100,000 per year, the NIH said.\n\n\n\n“Patients typically present with a sudden onset of memory loss lasting several hours, featuring retrograde and pronounced anterograde amnesia,” according to the federal agency.\n\n\n\n“Patients retain self-identity and demonstrate no neurological or cognitive deficits. They remain cooperative and can name objects, with no history of trauma or epilepsy. Symptoms last between 1 and 24 hours, typically occurring later in the day rather than after waking,” the NIH said.\n\n\n\nThe threat of repeated attacks is minimal, but not impossible.\n\n\n\n“Once resolved, the symptoms of transient global amnesia rarely recur, the NIH added.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/katie-couric-temporary-memory-robbing-condition/4046458/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"David K.

The Postal Regulatory Commission approved the changes on May 27, paving the way for the increased prices.\n\n\n\n“The Postal Service is using all available tools, including available regulatory pricing authority, to ensure we can continue to fulfill our universal service obligation and serve the American public,” it said in April.\n\n\n\nAnother price increase for stamps\n\n\n\nThe postal service has consistently increased the price of a stamp dating back to the 1960s, but with steeper rises in recent years. The stamp has gone up six times over the last half-decade, increasing a total of 41% from 58 cents in 2021 to 82 cents this summer. The Forever stamp, first introduced in 2007, will have doubled from its initial price of 41 cents.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOther USPS price increases\n\n\n\nOther postal products like postcards and international letters will also see price increases starting July 12.

The search continued for five missing people who were aboard the aircraft. \n\n\n\nThree officials familiar with the search operation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the incident, said the vast search area in the Arabian Sea and rough monsoon seas were posing significant challenges to the search-and-rescue operation. \n\n\n\nPrime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed sympathy with the families of the five crew members, according to a statement from his office, and directed the government to deploy all available resources for the search effort.\n\n\n\nIn a statement, K2 Airways identified the missing crew as Capt. Muhammad Rizwan Idris, First Officer Faisal Jatoi, flight engineers Muhammad Hamid and Muhammad Arif Siddiqui, and aircraft loader Muhammad Taufiq Khan.\n\n\n\n“We continue to pray earnestly for the safety of our colleagues,” it said.\n\n\n\nPakistan’s Airports Authority said earlier on X that radar data showed the aircraft making a sharp change in heading and rapidly descending before radar and radio contact were lost at about 9:21 p.m., approximately 155 nautical miles (287 kilometers, 178 miles) west of Karachi.\n\n\n\nAviation expert Imran Aslam told local broadcaster ARY News late Tuesday that it remained unclear what caused the aircraft to disappear from radar. He said that even if an aircraft suffered an engine failure, it would normally continue gliding rather than plunge suddenly. He said the exact cause would become clear only after investigators gathered more evidence.\n\n\n\nIn May 2020, a Pakistan International Airlines flight carrying 98 people crashed into a densely populated neighborhood near Karachi airport while attempting to land. All but one of the 99 people on board were killed. A government investigation later concluded that human error by the pilots and air traffic controllers caused the crash.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/cargo-plane-wreckage-found-pakistan-coast-search-missing-crew/4046455/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Munir Ahmed | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-08T10:49:06.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2F260708-cargo-wreck-ap.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2032%2C1143","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"cargo-plane-wreckage-found-off-pakistans-coast-as-search-continues-for-5-missing-crew"},{"id":"oqxxej","title":"Lawmakers seek answers after Richardson man's death in ICE custody","excerpt":"Members of Congress are demanding answers following the death of a Richardson man who died a day after being taken into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody.\n\n\n\nThe nonprofit AfghanEvac said Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal came to the United States seeking asylum in 2021 after serving along...","content":"Members of Congress are demanding answers following the death of a Richardson man who died a day after being taken into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody.\n\n\n\nThe nonprofit AfghanEvac said Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal came to the United States seeking asylum in 2021 after serving alongside U.S. troops as an Afghan Special Forces soldier. The organization said he was evacuated by the U.S.\n\n\n\nPaktyawal’s family previously told NBC 5 that ICE officers detained the 41-year-old father of six outside his Richardson apartment in March.\n\n\n\nAt the time, federal immigration officials called Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal a “criminal” who had been arrested for alleged fraudulent use of food stamps and for theft. Officials also said Paktyawal had not provided any record of his military service.\n\n\n\nAccording to the Department of Homeland Security, Paktyawal told family members he was not feeling well after his medical intake examination at the Dallas field office. DHS said he later complained of shortness of breath and chest pain. He was taken to Parkland Hospital, where he died the following morning.\n\n\n\nA recently released death certificate lists anaphylaxis complicating asthma as the cause of death.\n\n\n\nThe death certificate also lists methamphetamine use, heart disease and cigarette smoking as  contributing factors. \n\n\n\nIt identifies the date of injury as two days before Paktyawal’s death, one day before he was detained.\n\n\n\nHis loved ones told NBC 5 they never knew him to use drugs and have questioned the information contained in the death certificate.\n\n\n\nNow, U.S. Rep. Julie Johnson of Texas and U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, who serves on the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, are calling on ICE to release the full autopsy report.\n\n\n\n“My office has repeatedly asked DHS for basic information: What medical care was provided? How quickly did officers respond? Why wasn’t an ambulance immediately dispatched? Who made those decisions? Where are the records? Where is the video? Why has Congress still not received any answers?” said Representative Johnson.\n\n\n\nDallas County officials told NBC 5 they cannot release the report because ICE has not authorized its release due to a pending criminal investigation.\n\n\n\nBlumenthal said withholding the records raises concerns.\n\n\n\n“Let me just say very simply, what’s happening here smacks of a cover-up. Without being unfair to ICE or the Department of Homeland Security, the refusal to release these records creates doubts and suspicions that raise the specter of some kind of cover-up.”\n\n\n\nThe Dallas County District Attorney’s Office told NBC 5 the case is a federal law enforcement matter.\n\n\n\nNBC 5 also reached out to ICE for comment and is awaiting a response.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/lawmakers-richardson-man-death-in-ice-custody/4045607/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Allie Spillyards","publishDate":"2026-07-06T20:56:34.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fafghan-man-ice-custody-death.png%3Ffit%3D859%2C483%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"lawmakers-seek-answers-after-richardson-mans-death-in-ice-custody"},{"id":"3xufrp","title":"Innocent bystander gunned down in Pleasant Grove","excerpt":"An innocent bystander was killed by three masked men in an East Dallas neighborhood last month, and Dallas Police are looking for them.

Henderson of the Salem County Sheriff’s Office discovered K-9 “Rip,” a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois, and K-9 “Boomer,” a 6-year-old Springer Spaniel, dead in his police vehicle.\n\n\n\nHenderson then transported the dogs to a Delaware animal hospital. That’s when the Salem County Sheriff’s Office then notified the Salem County Prosecutor’s Office of the deaths, prompting an immediate investigation.\n\n\n\nProsecutors said an investigation revealed that Henderson left the K-9s unattended in the police vehicle, without appropriate ventilation or other care, between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. \n\n\n\nIt is alleged that the vehicle the dogs were in was not running during that time frame, the windows were closed, no emergency alert system was activated and available indoor kennels were not utilized, according to prosecutors.\n\n\n\nProsecutors said investigators do not believe that the vehicle, K9 Heat Alarm “Hot-N-Pop” device, or other equipment malfunction was a contributing factor in the deaths of the dogs.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNBC Philadelphia reported a high of 81 degrees in Salem County on May 29. This means the temperature inside a car could have felt like 120-125 degrees after just one hour.\n\n\n\n\nA necropsy performed by the New Jersey Animal Health Diagnostic Laboratory determined the dogs likely died from hyperthermia, or heat stroke, according to a criminal complaint. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHenderson has been charged with the following: Two counts of inflicting unnecessary cruelty on a living animal. Two counts of failing to provide necessary care to a living animal. Two counts of unlawfully restraining an animal in a manner that exposed it to adverse environmental conditions for more than 30 minutes. Two counts of purposely, knowingly or recklessly causing bodily injury to a living animal by failing to provide necessary care.\n\n\n\nCourt records show Henderson is scheduled to appear in Salem County Court on July 30. Officials added that he has been placed on unpaid leave.\n\n\n\nThe Salem County Sheriff’s Office shared the following statement regarding the death of Rip and Boomer: \n\n\n\n“The Salem County Sheriff’s Office remains deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our K-9 partners, Rip and Boomer. These exceptional canines dedicated their lives to serving and protecting the residents of Salem County and were valued members of our law enforcement family.\n\n\n\nThe Office has been notified that following an investigation conducted by the Salem County Prosecutor’s Office, K-9 Sergeant Cody Henderson has been formally charged in connection with the deaths of his assigned canine partners K-9 Officer Boomer and K-9 Officer Rip.\n\n\n\nRip and Boomer exemplified the highest standards of service, loyalty, and dedication. Their contributions to public safety and their commitment to duty will not be forgotten. The loss of these loyal partners has had a profound impact on our agency, our law enforcement community, and the citizens they faithfully served. We continue to honor the memory and service of Rip and Boomer and extend our thoughts to all those affected by this tragic loss.\n\n\n\nAs criminal and administrative proceedings remain ongoing, the Salem County Sheriff’s Office will continue to direct all comments to the Salem County Prosecutor’s Office.“","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/officer-charged-two-k-9s-die-hot-vehicle-salem-county-new-jersey/4047112/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Cherise Lynch","publishDate":"2026-07-08T10:46:28.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fimage-59-1.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1500%2C846","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"new-jersey-officer-charged-after-two-k-9s-die-in-hot-vehicle-prosecutors-say"},{"id":"n76avv","title":"Dallas police officer injured during traffic stop on Hwy. 67","excerpt":"A driver struck a Dallas police SUV as the officer was conducting a traffic stop on Highway 67 near Wheatland Road on Wednesday afternoon.","content":"A driver struck a Dallas police SUV as the officer was conducting a traffic stop on Highway 67 near Wheatland Road on Wednesday afternoon.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/dallas-police-officer-injured-during-traffic-stop-hwy-67","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Tracy.DeLatte@fox.com (Tracy DeLatte)","publishDate":"2026-07-08T22:34:18.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fsky4-5pm-20260708-kdfweme003_16_54_48_mpg_00.06.40.50.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dallas-police-officer-injured-during-traffic-stop-on-hwy-67"},{"id":"29y4a","title":"Obamacare insurers seek another double-digit increase on premiums in 2027","excerpt":"Many Americans straining to pay for Affordable Care Act health insurance are unlikely to get relief next year, according to a new analysis that shows insurers in the marketplace are proposing a second straight year of double-digit premium hikes.\n\n\n\nAcross the 77 insurers in the ACA program that h...","content":"Many Americans straining to pay for Affordable Care Act health insurance are unlikely to get relief next year, according to a new analysis that shows insurers in the marketplace are proposing a second straight year of double-digit premium hikes.\n\n\n\nAcross the 77 insurers in the ACA program that have submitted rate filings that are publicly available, the median proposed premium increase for 2027 is 14%, according to Wednesday’s analysis from the healthcare research nonprofit KFF. The insurers cited mounting healthcare costs, federal regulatory changes and the recent expiration of pandemic-era enhanced subsidies as the biggest factors driving premiums higher.\n\n\n\nThe rise in premiums adds to what already was a significant jump in 2026, when the median rate increase was 20%, according to KFF. While many Americans in Obamacare still qualify for subsidies that protect them from paying the full premiums, middle-class enrollees making 400% of the poverty level or more will face an especially stark increase in costs.\n\n\n\nThe rate increases come as federal lawmakers have proposed various policy changes to overhaul the expensive U.S. healthcare system, but no comprehensive legislation has amassed enough support to pass. The higher costs are contributing to Americans’ existing worries about overall affordability, a concern that many voters say is front of mind with November’s midterm elections looming.\n\n\n\nInsurers cite rising costs and a smaller, sicker covered population\n\n\n\nHealth insurers must send filings to regulators every year, explaining what they expect to see in premium rate changes for individual market health plans for the coming year. \n\n\n\nNext year’s rates will be finalized later in the summer, but KFF’s analysis looked at those in the ACA marketplace that already are public across 16 states and Washington, D.C., to get an early glimpse at what insurers are saying. The report measured insurers’ premium increases as an average across all types of plans — bronze, silver, gold and platinum.\n\n\n\nThe analysis found that insurers listed rising costs across the healthcare sector — from hospital visits to prescription drugs, the workforce and sicker patients — as the biggest cause of rising premiums. Overall inflation contributed to that pressure, driving prices higher across the entire economy. \n\n\n\nInsurers also blamed the expiration of federal subsidies that had offset costs for many people and caused the Affordable Care Act program to balloon in size in recent years. When those tax credits expired in January, many plan costs skyrocketed. That prompted large swaths of enrollees to depart the marketplace, leaving sicker patients who carry higher risks and costs, and driving premiums higher. \n\n\n\nNew state-by-state data posted by the Trump administration shows that the overall ACA marketplace shrunk by more than 2.5 million people over the past year, with some states seeing declines amounting to nearly a third of their enrollee population.\n\n\n\nSome insurers added that federal regulatory changes contributed to their requests for higher premiums. For example, they said new enrollment and eligibility requirements instituted by the Trump administration could affect the overall population of ACA enrollees. \n\n\n\nWhile Affordable Care Act enrollees make up less than 10% of the population, similar cost drivers are likely to make other private plans, including employer-sponsored plans, pricier too, according to KFF’s analysis. \n\n\n\nFindings align with other analyses\n\n\n\nGeorgetown University’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms also published an analysis of preliminary ACA insurer rate filings last month. Like KFF’s, it projected double-digit premium increases in the marketplace next year.\n\n\n\nStacey Pogue, a senior research fellow at the center who authored the report, said the enrollees most affected by the rising premiums will be those who don’t qualify for financial help. She said those people already saw the most significant increases to their premiums in 2026, with some of their premiums doubling or tripling.\n\n\n\n“Those are the folks who kind of got a double whammy” this year, she said.\n\n\n\nPogue said the rate filings are demonstrating what many analysts had expected: that the expiration of enhanced tax credits would cause healthy Americans to flee the marketplace and leave a sicker patient population that relies more heavily on insurance.\n\n\n\n“When the healthy people leave, the prices go up,” she said. “The analysts all predicted that, and now that’s what we’re seeing.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/obamacare-insurers-premium-increase-2027/4046398/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Ali Swenson | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-08T10:15:46.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26178635377726.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3781%2C2455","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"obamacare-insurers-seek-another-double-digit-increase-on-premiums-in-2027"},{"id":"7eyioe","title":"Ruptured sewer line spills more than 100,000 gallons in Arlington","excerpt":"The Trinity River Authority says no public drinking water has been affected after a ruptured wastewater pipeline caused issues in Southeast Arlington.\n\n\n\nThe authority reported the ruptured sewer line off Mirabella Boulevard.

During last year’s holiday period, from July 1 through July 5, the department received 5,739 calls related to random gunfire.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResidents in southeast Dallas said they noticed the difference.\n\n\n\nWhile illegal fireworks were still set off in a vacant lot in the Dixon Circle neighborhood on July 4, Pam Henderson, president of the Dixon Circle Neighborhood Association, said the increased police presence helped reduce both fireworks and gunfire throughout the night.\n\n\n\n“I mean, you can tell that the presence of the officers were here, because we didn’t have fireworks and gunfire that went way into the night,” Henderson said.\n\n\n\nHenderson said increased patrols helped reduce the noise and nuisance tied to what she described as a 10-year problem in the neighborhood.\n\n\n\nIn addition to responding to calls, Dallas police said officers seized more than 1,800 pounds of illegal fireworks that were being sold. \n\n\n\nOf that total, 1,400 pounds were being sold from a U-Haul near Elsie Faye Heggins Street in southeast Dallas.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe department also implemented a new strategy near Klyde Warren Park’s Independence Day celebration, shutting down major roadways for 30 minutes to prevent people from illegally parking nearby and firing celebratory gunshots.\n\n\n\nDallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux said the decrease reflects both the department’s yearlong public safety campaign and the work of officers throughout the holiday weekend.\n\n\n\n“I believe the reduction reflects the impact of a consistent message we’ve been sharing over the past year that celebratory (random) gunfire is dangerous, illegal, and completely preventable. It also reflects the hard work of our officers, who increased traffic enforcement and maintained a strong presence throughout the holiday weekend to help keep our streets and neighborhoods safe,” Comeaux said.\n\n\n\nHenderson said residents continued reporting incidents to help police track ongoing problem areas.\n\n\n\n“We did make the calls, so they could have the data to say, this is still an area of concern,” Henderson said.\n\n\n\nAlthough Henderson called the reduction in gunfire and fireworks a positive step, she said she hopes the city continues building on that progress with long-term solutions, including fencing around the vacant lot where illegal activity has continued.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

It has also created opportunities for high school and college athletes to mentor younger players.\n\n\n\n“This year we’ve waived 75% of registrations to make it easy for youth in community to participate in the sport that they’re watching,” Martinez said. “It feels absolutely amazing that we can offer this. To every child in our neighborhood that wants to play regardless of income or any other barriers.”\n\n\n\nMartinez said the majority of children in the program are able to participate at no cost.

That total had significance to that year’s Tour de France bicycle race.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/red-fever/texas-rangers-budweiser-record-beer/4045440/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-06T15:01:19.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Frangers-bud-beer.png%3Ffit%3D1763%2C991%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"big-brew-texas-rangers-and-bud-set-a-world-record-with-a-12-foot-tall-600-gallon-beer"},{"id":"6384fv","title":"Three Texas tax preparers sentenced to federal prison after multi-million dollar fraud scheme","excerpt":"Three Texas tax return preparers, including a business owner and two of his employees, have been sentenced to federal prison for a multi-year conspiracy that utilized fake deductions to secure fraudulent refunds, costing the U.S. government millions of dollars","content":"Three Texas tax return preparers, including a business owner and two of his employees, have been sentenced to federal prison for a multi-year conspiracy that utilized fake deductions to secure fraudulent refunds, costing the U.S. government millions of dollars","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/three-texas-tax-preparers-sentenced-federal-prison-after-multi-million-dollar-fraud-scheme","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Amber.Kite@fox.com (Amber Kite)","publishDate":"2026-07-09T17:25:23.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox7austin.com%2Fwww.fox7austin.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fgettyimages-2147889022.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"three-texas-tax-preparers-sentenced-to-federal-prison-after-multi-million-dollar-fraud-scheme"},{"id":"44op83","title":"Renewed US-Iran strikes threaten fragile ceasefire","excerpt":"United States military forces launched a new round of strikes against Iran on Thursday, with Iran responding by targeting U.S. allies in the region.","content":"United States military forces launched a new round of strikes against Iran on Thursday, with Iran responding by targeting U.S. allies in the region.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/renewed-us-iran-strikes-threaten-fragile-ceasefire","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Jason.Gunn@fox.com (Jason Gunn)","publishDate":"2026-07-09T13:13:12.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.livenowfox.com%2Fwww.livenowfox.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fcentcom1.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"renewed-us-iran-strikes-threaten-fragile-ceasefire"},{"id":"9ttyeh","title":"2026 Emmy nominations: See the full list","excerpt":"And the nominees are…\n\n\n\nHBO Max’s emergency room series “The Pitt” led nominations for the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards with 25, followed by the network’s other hit show “Hacks,” which led all comedies with 24. \n\n\n\nPast winners Liza Colón-Zayas of “The Bear” and Jeff Hiller of “Somebody Somewhere”...","content":"And the nominees are…\n\n\n\nHBO Max’s emergency room series “The Pitt” led nominations for the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards with 25, followed by the network’s other hit show “Hacks,” which led all comedies with 24. \n\n\n\nPast winners Liza Colón-Zayas of “The Bear” and Jeff Hiller of “Somebody Somewhere” and “Widow’s Bay” announced the nominees Wednesday at the Television Academy in Los Angeles.\n\n\n\nBest variety series and reality competition nominations were revealed earlier Wednesday on the “TODAY” show.\n\n\n\nThe Emmy Awards will air live on NBC on Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT from the Peacock Theater, the longtime Emmys home that will soon also be home to the Oscars.

(Photo by Ralf Ibing – firo sportphoto/Getty Images)\n\n\n\nGermany’s coach ended up calling for a change in rules for handball so that a penalty would be given if the shot was on target, so referees do not have to interpret if the handball was intentional or not.\n\n\n\n“There are 50 robots that bring us coffee, so there must be an AI that calculates where the ball will go,” Julian Nagelsmann said; he resigned after Germany lost to Paraguay last week in the 2026 World Cup.\n\n\n\nTaylor also took criticism from Italian fans after a Europa League final between Roma and Sevilla; Sevilla won on penalties\n\n\n\nVideo caught Taylor and his family being escorted away by security at Budapest airport after outraged Roma fans directed insults and threw chairs at him.\n\n\n\nRoma largely blamed Taylor for its shootout loss. Former Roma coach Jose Mourinho lashed out at the referee in his post-match news conference and then was seen insulting Taylor with a series of expletives in the garage of the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary, as his team prepared to depart the stadium. Mourinho was banned for four matches for abusing Taylor.\n\n\n\nBUDAPEST, HUNGARY – MAY 31: The Referee Anthony Taylor of England shows a yellow card to Jose Mourinho Head coach of AS Roma during the UEFA Europa League 2022/23 final match between Sevilla FC and AS Roma at Puskas Arena on May 31, 2023 in Budapest, Hungary. (Photo by Jonathan Moscrop/Getty Images)\n\n\n\nThe English top-tier soccer referees’ association said in a statement that it “is aware of videos circulating on social media showing Anthony Taylor and his family being harassed and abused at Budapest Airport.\n\n\n\n“We are appalled at the unjustified and abhorrent abuse directed at Anthony and his family as he tries to make his way home from refereeing the UEFA Europa League final. We will continue to provide our full support to Anthony and his family,” the referees association added.\n\n\n\nRoma general manager Tiago Pinto continued the attack on Taylor in a statement to Italian news agency ANSA.\n\n\n\n“We at AS Roma don’t want to raise doubts about Sevilla’s merits. We believe that with our opponents we put on a great final and honored the stage offered to us by UEFA in the best way,” Pinto said. “We don’t usually comment immediately about these types of situations, but over the course of today we’ve analyzed both the most glaring incidents and those seemingly less evident, and it is clear that in disciplinary terms the refereeing of the match was not balanced.”\n\n\n\nUEFA also fined Roma 50,000 euros ($55,000) and blocked the club from selling tickets for an away game in the Europa League.\n\n\n\nThere have been multiple officiating controversies to come out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. \n\n\n\nEuropean soccer leaders criticized FIFA’s decision to let USMNT striker Falorin Balogun play after a questionable red card in the second half of their win over Bosnia. The Belgian soccer federation is now preparing to challenge the ruling before a FIFA-appointed appeals judge.\n\n\n\nTwo players have also been sent off with red cards for covering their mouths while confronting an opponent. FIFA established the new rule to prevent players from hiding abusive, discriminatory or offensive language while on the field.\n\n\n\nThere were also allegations of a video review official using a white supremacist gesture; the official said it was caused by a twitch and FIFA announced no rules were breached.\n\n\n\nAP sports writers Joseph Wilson in Barcelona and Ciaran Fahey in Berlin contributed.\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/fifa-assigns-referee-with-controversial-history-to-portugal-spain-match-at-dallas-stadium/4045249/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Charles Nichelson and DANIELLA MATAR | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-06T08:36:42.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2024%2F07%2Fefe_6194ff80bf9e40b34c178ac595ab9ffe3627c3few.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1336","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"fifa-referee-with-controversial-history-on-portugal-spain-match-at-dallas-stadium"},{"id":"vzkju0","title":"Egypt accepts Dallas Police's apology after incident ahead of game in Arlington","excerpt":"Dallas Police said that officers met with members of Egypt’s national soccer team after a video of a confrontation between an officer and men associated with the team went viral.

Dallas Police said the meeting followed a confrontation at the Westin Dallas Downtown on July 2 that started after hotel security asked police to help with a credential issue.\n\n\n\nVideo of the encounter showed an officer pushing a man and putting his finger in the chest of another man in a Team Egypt shirt as others tried to step in. The Associated Press reported Friday that those men were Egypt coach Hossam Hassan and team director Ibrahim Hassan. The AP also reported that coach Hassan said through a translator that the team had accepted an apology from police and considered the matter resolved.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“We are really happy to be here at this tournament, and we are satisfied with the security personnel that are accompanying us,” Hassan said, according to the AP. “I would like to point to the high-level organization we have with us and the level of security we have with us.”\n\n\n\nPolice said they determined that some “individuals were not displaying credentials properly, which is a requirement.” \n\n\n\nThey added that the situation was resolved, but did not address the officer’s actions.\n\n\n\nOfficers and team representatives later “exchanged gifts and shared conversations centered on partnership and mutual respect.”\n\n\n\nEnglish Premier League star Mohamed Salah, the team’s captain, was pictured with police.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The Dallas Police Department values its relationships with members of our community and international visitors,” the department said in the release. “We understand one conversation can make a difference, and respect is demonstrated through actions.”\n\n\n\nThe footage drew criticism from Dallas City Council member Adam Bazaldua, who called it “deeply troubling” and said the officer’s actions appeared overly aggressive.\n\n\n\nAustralia won its first knockout game ever over Australia on Friday afternoon; they play Argentina in the Round of 16 on Tuesday, July 7.\n\n\n\nDallas Police congratulated Egypt on the win and said the department looked forward to maintaining its relationship with the team “throughout the 2026 FIFA World Cup and beyond.”\n\n\n\nRead more from our media partners, The Dallas Morning News.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/egypt-accepts-dallas-polices-apology-after-incident-ahead-of-game-in-arlington/4045233/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Charles Nichelson and The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-06T07:43:20.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FHMar3VaXsAAlsW4.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2048%2C1536","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"egypt-accepts-dallas-polices-apology-after-incident-ahead-of-game-in-arlington"},{"id":"ctxoo9","title":"Want tickets to see Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo against Spain?

To add to the historic tournament for the USMNT, this is the first time they have ever won three games at a single World Cup.\n\n\n\nKenny Cooper, former FC Dallas forward and team ambassador, said even before the tournament started, he knew this team was something special.\n\n\n\n“There are guys that start games playing amazing. There are guys coming off the bench who have made massive contributions,” Cooper said. “This team is just so special, and it’s just amazing to see all these people come together. They all have different stories and have found a way to unify and represent this country in the most amazing way. I’ve just had such pride watching this team.”\n\n\n\nA large part of those contributions have come from players whose road to the international stage went right through North Texas. Specifically, the FC Dallas Youth Academy.\n\n\n\n“I’m just so proud of these guys. Four of the guys on the USMNT came through here. [Alex] Zendejas, Chris Richards, Ricardo Pepe and Weston McKennie. They are all superstar players, and they’re doing so great,” Cooper said.\n\n\n\nHe said to him, what makes this team different than any other is the togetherness. Cooper said he hasn’t seen a USMNT playing like a team like this in recent history.\n\n\n\nIn addition to the players on the USMNT, FC Dallas saw three of its current players on the pitch representing other countries. Petar Musa is a forward with Croatia, Herman Johansson with Sweden, and Don Deedson is a forward for Haiti. Deedson scored the goal that qualified Haiti for this World Cup.\n\n\n\nThis tournament has also been special for Cooper in that he was able to take his father on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to see England play. The country he emigrated from decades ago.\n\n\n\n“My dad was part of a generation of players who played in the 1970’s for the great Lamar Hunt. They poured their heart and soul into the game. They used to knock on doors to get people to come out to a soccer match. They were begging people. My personal mission coming into this World Cup was to go to see England and take my dad with me. My dad just turned 80, and we were able to take him to the match at Dallas Stadium,” Cooper said.\n\n\n\nCooper said they pushed his dad nearly a mile in his wheelchair to get him inside the stadium, but that nothing was going to stop them.\n\n\n\nLamar Hunt is credited with shaping sports like football and soccer in North Texas. The American sports pioneer, raised in Dallas, is known for founding FC Dallas and helping to build a foundation for the club that would live on.\n\n\n\nCooper’s dad played for 15 years professionally and coached another 20. He then watched him play for his 12-year career that included a stint from 2006 to 2009 and again in 2013.\n\n\n\nHe said while this has been one of the best World Cup tournaments he has ever seen, he also hopes people are left with a positive and lasting impression of the game he loves so much.\n\n\n\nShould the USMNT continue to win, their path to the final would run through Dallas Stadium in Arlington for the semifinal match.\n\n\n\nThe Round of 16 against Belgium is Monday, July 6.

If it happens again, it will get much worse!” Trump wrote.\n\n\n\nTrump had said earlier in the day that the latest back-and-forth fighting would not result in “long-term” military action.\n\n\n\n“Anything that happens is going to happen very fast,” Trump said, though he also suggested the U.S. military might “just finish the job.”\n\n\n\nTrump also renewed his past threats to hit Iran’s civilian infrastructure, including electric plants and desalinization plants, and to seize the oil-production hub of Kharg Island.\n\n\n\nAfter three tankers were hit Tuesday, the U.S. launched strikes on Iran, and Iranian forces retaliated by attacking American military sites in the Persian Gulf.\n\n\n\nIran has asserted that the interim ceasefire deal gives it the right to manage traffic through the strait. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, a key negotiator in talks seeking a permanent end to the war, was defiant in a post on X: “The era of bullying and extortion is over. It leads nowhere.

A renewed conflict could engulf the wider Middle East and would likely again halt energy shipments through the strait that are crucial to the global economy.\n\n\n\n“For me, I think it’s over,” Trump said when asked about the status of the ceasefire. He added that U.S. representatives can continue negotiations, but he cast doubt on the outcome. “They can talk, but I think they’re wasting their time,” he said.\n\n\n\nIranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, also a top negotiator, retorted on X that Trump’s remarks “are not a sign of power but an admission of the failure” of U.S. policy toward Iran.\n\n\n\nTrump has threatened to seize Kharg Island at previous points in the war, including last month, when he also questioned whether the U.S. “has the stomach for it.” Some 90% of Iranian oil exports pass through the island.\n\n\n\nThe new attacks on ships in the strait, despite the negotiations, could reflect a divide among Iran’s leadership. Hard-liners seek lasting control over the waterway, which is a globally important conduit for fuel shipments and has become a critical lever in confronting the West. Pragmatists want a permanent peace deal to lift international sanctions and provide desperately needed economic relief.\n\n\n\nNegotiations to reach a final deal had been due to start after the dayslong funeral for Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed Feb. 28 in the war’s first moments. The funeral, which ends Thursday, was supposed to be a period of lower tensions.\n\n\n\nThe talks are meant to focus on the toughest matters, including fully reopening the strait and rolling back Tehran’s disputed nuclear program.\n\n\n\n\n\nU.S. military says it hit air defenses and small boats\n\n\n\nOn Tuesday, the U.S. military’s Central Command said American forces launched strikes “to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway.”\n\n\n\nThe military said it hit Iranian targets including air-defense systems, radars and over 60 small boats used by Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard.\n\n\n\nThose boats have been key to threatening ships in the strait, through which a fifth of the world’s traded oil and natural gas passed before the war. Iran’s ability to bring shipping in the waterway to a near halt during the war proved its greatest strategic advantage.\n\n\n\nIranian state media reported explosions in several locations, including in Bandar Mahshahr, where a Revolutionary Guard member was killed. State television said eight members of the Army’s air and naval forces were killed in Bandar Abbas and Bushehr; the latter is home to Iran’s nuclear power plant complex.\n\n\n\nOn Wednesday morning, both Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet, and Kuwait, home to U.S. Army forces, sounded missile alerts. The Revolutionary Guard issued a statement acknowledging targeting U.S. military installations in both countries.\n\n\n\nKuwait said it intercepted two ballistic missiles and 13 drones launched by Iran. The Kuwaiti Electricity Ministry said a number of lines were out of service after shrapnel fell on them.\n\n\n\nU.S. revokes license allowing the sale of Iranian oil\n\n\n\nAfter the Iranian strikes on shipping. the U.S. revoked a license that — for the first time in years — had allowed Iran to conduct oil sales openly in U.S. dollars, as part of the interim deal.\n\n\n\nIran and the United States agreed as part of the interim deal to allow ships to pass through the strait without paying charges for 60 days. But Tehran has insisted it must control the vessels’ routes and vowed to later charge fees for passage. That would upend decades of practice in the waterway. The ships attacked Tuesday all appeared to be using a route close to Oman’s shore, rather than one ordered by Tehran.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. and many Gulf Arab states say they will not agree to Iran charging for passage through the strait.\n\n\n\nElsewhere, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Falah al-Zaidi and other Iranian and Iraqi officials attended funeral ceremonies for Khamenei on Wednesday in the Iraqi city of Najaf.\n\n\n\nKhamenei’s body will be returned to Iran to be buried Thursday at the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad, his birthplace.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/trump-says-ceasefire-with-iran-is-over-but-negotiations-can-continue/4046275/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Jon Gambrell and Seung Kim | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-08T04:07:25.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2284598359.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5460%2C3640","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"us-carries-out-another-round-of-strikes-on-iran-after-trump-says-ceasefire-is-over"},{"id":"bs5nbs","title":"Texas Tech University facing lawsuit over \"unconstitutional\" course review rules","excerpt":"Professors at Texas Tech University are suing the school over mandatory course reviews they say are discriminatory and censor instruction.","content":"Professors at Texas Tech University are suing the school over mandatory course reviews they say are discriminatory and censor instruction.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/texas-tech-university-facing-lawsuit-over-unconstitutional-course-review-rules","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Amelia.Jones@fox.com (Amelia Jones)","publishDate":"2026-07-09T01:23:13.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Ftexastechlawsuit.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"texas-tech-university-facing-lawsuit-over-unconstitutional-course-review-rules"},{"id":"ofxtcw","title":"World Cup 2026: Dozens arrested during matches in Arlington","excerpt":"Nearly 70,000 fans have descended upon Dallas Stadium in Arlington for each of the 2026 World Cup matches, but only a handful have found themselves on the wrong side of the law.","content":"Nearly 70,000 fans have descended upon Dallas Stadium in Arlington for each of the 2026 World Cup matches, but only a handful have found themselves on the wrong side of the law.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/world-cup-2026-dozens-arrested-during-matches-arlington","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Tracy.DeLatte@fox.com (Tracy DeLatte)","publishDate":"2026-07-08T21:59:34.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F061726-england-pregame-hbs-feed-kdfweme001_12_42_3_00.08.49.02.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"world-cup-2026-dozens-arrested-during-matches-in-arlington"},{"id":"2uow2g","title":"Florida influencer Brianna Johnson killed in Lamborghini drive-by shooting","excerpt":"A 21-year-old influencer was killed and two others were hurt after someone opened fire on the Lamborghini they were driving in Miramar, Florida over the July 4th weekend.\n\n\n\nPolice said the shooting happened as two men and one woman were driving in a lime green Lamborghini Urus, and a white sedan...","content":"A 21-year-old influencer was killed and two others were hurt after someone opened fire on the Lamborghini they were driving in Miramar, Florida over the July 4th weekend.\n\n\n\nPolice said the shooting happened as two men and one woman were driving in a lime green Lamborghini Urus, and a white sedan opened fire more than a dozen times.\n\n\n\nAll three people were hit, and video shows the Lamborghini slowly driving into the yard of a home.\n\n\n\nThe three victims were taken to the hospital by fire rescue crews.

As they reached the intersection, a white sedan, possibly a BMW, pulled alongside the driver’s side and opened fire more than a dozen times, authorities said.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe three victims were taken to the hospital by fire rescue crews.

Then, it speeds away.\n\n\n\nThe Lamborghini slowly drifts forward into the front yard of someone’s home.\n\n\n\nWho is ItGirlBri?\n\n\n\nJohnson was known to her followers as “ItGirlBri” on TikTok and “dreamdoll_bri” on Instagram. The 21-year-old amassed over 380,000 followers on TikTok alone.\n\n\n\nJohnson remained connected with her TikTok followers, consistently posting videos and lives. Her last TikTok video was posted five days before her sudden death. She was known for posting lifestyle content featuring her friends, family and mostly her sister.\n\n\n\nThe influencer was a rising star on the social media platform. She had also just started dabbling into a music career with her viral feature in rap song “Bend Ova” that was released in March of 2026 by friend and influencer @sadiityrackz.\n\n\n\n\n\nWho killed ItGirlBri?\n\n\n\nThe shooter is still at large.

An assistant U.S. attorney for the District of Arizona did not immediately respond to a request for information.\n\n\n\nGatz was arrested June 25 and ordered held for trial, according to federal case files. He was initially charged with building illegal fires, overstaying time limits for camping, leaving trash in unsanitary conditions and related counts as part of an 18-count federal indictment. \n\n\n\n“Defendant has been living illegally on the U.S.F.S. lands and has violated fire restrictions despite prior warnings and citations for doing so,” U.S. Magistrate Judge Camille D. Bibles wrote in a June 30 order.\n\n\n\nIn probable cause statements for an arrest warrant, U.S. Forest Service officers wrote that they’d come into contact with Gatz last year and this year. Gatz compiled a collection of refuse, including “tires, plastic bags, trash bags, aluminum cans, and other items of trash,” at a campsite he occupied for two years as of May, the officers wrote. \n\n\n\nOfficers found Gatz’s SUV under a canopy structure in the woods, about half a mile down a two-way dirt trail, the statements allege.\n\n\n\n“The campfire was located inside an illegal structure that was built with stone for cooking food,” according to one of the statements. \n\n\n\nOne officer estimated the surrounding trash pile weighed 1,000 pounds. \n\n\n\nIn May 2025, federal officers warned Gatz to clean up the trash and leave the campsite within two weeks, according to the statements, filed in federal court in Flagstaff. Campers are limited to 14 days in Tonto National Forest, the western edge of which is about 28 miles east-northeast of Phoenix.\n\n\n\nBy the time he was arrested this June 25, Gatz told law enforcement, he had lived in the forest a total of about eight years, according to the statements. \n\n\n\nBy then he had amassed six federal warrants, and officers noted that he had been warned before about building campfires amid weather and other restrictions, the statements said.\n\n\n\n Insiya Gandhi contributed.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/man-found-amid-1000-pounds-of-trash-in-national-forest/4046273/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Dennis Romero | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-08T03:35:09.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2264963108.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D8192%2C5464","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"man-found-amid-1000-pounds-of-trash-in-national-forest-said-hed-lived-on-parkland-for-8-years"},{"id":"wgg4mu","title":"Charlie Kirk murder: Prosecutors say suspect Tyler Robinson's DNA found on key evidence","excerpt":"The Utah man charged in the shooting death of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk is back in court for the third day of his week-long preliminary hearing as prosecutors continue presenting the evidence they have against Tyler Robinson, including DNA evidence.","content":"The Utah man charged in the shooting death of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk is back in court for the third day of his week-long preliminary hearing as prosecutors continue presenting the evidence they have against Tyler Robinson, including DNA evidence.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/tyler-robinson-hearing-july-8","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Nick.Viviani@fox.com (Nick Viviani)","publishDate":"2026-07-08T12:36:14.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.livenowfox.com%2Fwww.livenowfox.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Ftyler-robinson-gettyimages-2284565521.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"charlie-kirk-murder-prosecutors-say-suspect-tyler-robinsons-dna-found-on-key-evidence"},{"id":"d8plz9","title":"DOJ warns of criminal charges for state election officials if noncitizens vote","excerpt":"The Justice Department sent letters warning election officials in all 50 states and the District of Columbia that they could face criminal prosecution over noncitizen voting, a spokesperson for the Justice Department confirmed Tuesday.\n\n\n\nThe letters, signed by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet ...","content":"The Justice Department sent letters warning election officials in all 50 states and the District of Columbia that they could face criminal prosecution over noncitizen voting, a spokesperson for the Justice Department confirmed Tuesday.\n\n\n\nThe letters, signed by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who heads up the department’s Civil Rights Division, give states five days to explain how they will comply with federal voter eligibility laws and how they will maintain “clean voter lists.”\n\n\n\n“The Department sent these letters to all 50 states and the District of Columbia, asking for voluntary compliance in a timely manner with their obligations under federal law to ensure only citizens vote in federal elections,” a Justice Department spokesperson said in a statement.\n\n\n\nNoncitizen voting in federal elections is extremely rare, but Donald Trump and his administration have falsely portrayed it as a widespread issue.\n\n\n\nMichigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar and Utah Lt.

They further specify that any election officer who knowingly retains noncitizens on a statewide voting registration list or who facilitates noncitizens’ receiving and casting ballots could be subject to criminal liability.\n\n\n\n“An intentional act that is aimed at diluting the votes of citizens could also constitute a violation” of federal law, the letters said.\n\n\n\nHenderson wrote on social media that the threats constitute “truly bizarre behavior.”\n\n\n\n“Got another love letter this morning from the DOJ sprinkled throughout with threats of criminal prosecution,” she wrote. “I’m sure I’m not the only chief election officer of a state who is being targeted for following state and federal laws by resisting DOJ’s demands for private voter data that have thus far been ruled illegal by at least a dozen courts.”\n\n\n\nThe letters are the latest move in the Justice Department’s campaign to assert more federal control over state elections.\n\n\n\nWhile some states have complied with the administration’s demands that they hand over voter roll data, the Justice Department has sued 30 states and Washington, D.C., for resisting. So far, 11 different federal courts have dismissed the Justice Department’s efforts to seize voter rolls.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/doj-warns-criminal-charges-state-election-officials-if-noncitizens-vote/4046270/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Michael Kosnar and Kyla Guilfoil | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-08T01:35:28.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2278801248.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D6000%2C4000","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"doj-warns-of-criminal-charges-for-state-election-officials-if-noncitizens-vote"},{"id":"yi5uhx","title":"This 10-second balance test may help predict how long you'll live, research shows","excerpt":"Research shows that your grip strength, bone density and genetics can all play a role in your quality of life as you age — but how long can you stand on one leg?\n\n\n\nAs we get older, we’re more likely to have difficulty balancing, according to the National Institute on Aging.

But maintaining balance and reducing the likelihood of falls is key to staying independent and active, as well as completing daily tasks.\n\n\n\nA short test that calls on you to stand on one leg for 10 seconds can help estimate not only lifespan but how mobile you’ll be over the years.

Don’t let it touch your standing leg.\n\n\n\nHold for 10 seconds.\n\n\n\nRepeat on the other side.\n\n\n\n\nSome wobbling is normal, so if needed, keep your eye on something stable and hold your arms out to your sides, Steinhilber said.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy it matters\n\n\n\nHow good you are at balancing is “a reflection of how well multiple systems in your body are working together, things like muscle strength, neuromuscular control, vision, proprioception and even brain health,” Steinhilber explained.\n\n\n\nIn fact, a 2022 study of 1,700 people between 51 and 75 years old found that those who couldn’t stand on one leg for 10 seconds had an 84% higher risk of death over the next 10 years compared to those who could.\n\n\n\n“It may sound scary, but there’s good news,” Steinhilber added. “Balance is something that we can train and improve over time.”\n\n\n\nHow to get started\n\n\n\nIf you’re unable to complete the 10-second balance test initially, Steinhibler offered these tips:\n\n\n\n\nStart with just a few seconds per leg and build up to 10 seconds.\n\n\n\nFor extra stability, lightly rest the big toe of your lifted leg on the ground or on the ankle of the standing leg.\n\n\n\nHold onto something, like a wall or table, for stability and try to rely on it less over time.\n\n\n\n\nOnce you’ve mastered the test, you can increase the difficulty by holding the pose for longer than 10 seconds, or closing your eyes or crossing your arms over your chest.\n\n\n\nNo matter your fitness level, staying consistent will improve your balance, Steinhilber says.\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

Center fielder Cole Carrigg could only watch it fly out.\n\n\n\n“It was quite the homer,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “It was 119 (mph exit velocity) off the bat, low-launching, it was squared up, got out in a hurry. I just marvel at him every day. Three hundred is a big number.”\n\n\n\nOhtani is the fifth-fastest in history to reach 300 and the 170th member of the club. It took him 1,102 games between playing for the Los Angeles Angels and Dodgers; New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge was the quickest at 955 games.\n\n\n\nIt was Ohtani’s 31st career leadoff homer and seventh this season. He also homered in the Dodgers’ 8-7 victory in 11 innings on Monday night to highlight a 3-for-4 performance.\n\n\n\nRoberts believes there’s a lot more homers within reach for Ohtani, who turned 32 last Sunday.\n\n\n\n“He just had a birthday, still young, still strong, so I definitely think 500 is in his future,” the manager said.\n\n\n\nTeammate Freddie Freeman bowed as Ohtani made his way back to the dugout.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/mlb/shohei-ohtani-300th-career-homer/4046264/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-07T22:02:11.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FUSATSI_29350091.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3540%2C2310","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"shohei-ohtani-hits-300th-career-homer-the-first-japanese-born-mlb-player-to-reach-mark"},{"id":"c0yec5","title":"Crowley water main break leads to boil water notice","excerpt":"There is a boil water notice in place in Crowley because of a water main break that caused the water supply to residents to drop to critical levels.","content":"There is a boil water notice in place in Crowley because of a water main break that caused the water supply to residents to drop to critical levels.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/crowley-water-main-break-leads-boil-water-notice","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Dionne.Anglin@fox.com (Dionne Anglin)","publishDate":"2026-07-08T21:31:27.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fv-anglin-crowley-water-conservation-4p_00.01.26.14.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"crowley-water-main-break-leads-to-boil-water-notice"},{"id":"ngrs7t","title":"Plano ISD elementary school teacher charged with sexual assault of a child","excerpt":"Police say a Plano ISD teacher was arrested on Wednesday after continuously sexually abusing a child at the elementary school he worked at.","content":"Police say a Plano ISD teacher was arrested on Wednesday after continuously sexually abusing a child at the elementary school he worked at.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/plano-isd-elementary-school-teacher-arrested-sexual-assault-child","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Carter.Freemon@fox.com (Carter Freemon)","publishDate":"2026-07-08T21:09:29.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fbrinker.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"plano-isd-elementary-school-teacher-charged-with-sexual-assault-of-a-child"},{"id":"yamkbh","title":"Jessica Shepard's historic triple-double powers Wings past Liberty","excerpt":"Jessica Shepard had 22 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists for her third triple-double of the season, and the Dallas Wings beat the New York Liberty 88-77 on Tuesday night.\n\n\n\nDallas (14-8) earned its eighth road victory of the season — after totaling just six over the past two seasons.\n\n\n\nPaige B...","content":"Jessica Shepard had 22 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists for her third triple-double of the season, and the Dallas Wings beat the New York Liberty 88-77 on Tuesday night.\n\n\n\nDallas (14-8) earned its eighth road victory of the season — after totaling just six over the past two seasons.\n\n\n\nPaige Bueckers made her only 3-pointer of the game with 3:12 left in the fourth quarter to give Dallas an 82-70 lead.

European powerhouse France will take on rising African side Morocco Thursday in what should be an intense affair.\n\n\n\nFriday’s game will feature two European sides. Powerhouses Spain will put their flawless defensive record thus far to the test against long-time dark horses Belgium, which just routed USA 4-1.\n\n\n\nTwo games will be played on Saturday. Norway and England will meet in a battle of the newest dark horse and a European powerhouse on a trophy drought. Reigning champions Argentina will hope to keep its title defense running vs. Switzerland in the round finale.\n\n\n\nSo, which matchup is the best of the four? Let’s rank them from least to most entertaining:\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Argentina vs. Switzerland\n\n\n\nIt’s not every day a Lionel Messi-led side is on the “least entertaining” side of things. But one matchup had to be here, and it’s La Albiceleste vs. the Swiss. Argentina are the reigning World Cup champions, but Messi has done more heavy lifting than he should’ve at this point. Argentina has been fortunate other major nations in its path have fallen early, as Cape Verde and Egypt each provided different challenges that ended in a narrow 3-2 result. Colombia would have been the side’s biggest test yet, but that won’t happen.\n\n\n\nSwitzerland can hang with the very best, but its lack of superstar quality is the reason this matchup is No. 4. Granit Xhaka will need to man the midfield, while goalie Gregor Kobel will need to prove why he’s one of the best shot-stoppers in the game. The Swiss will hope to get breakout forward Johan Manzambi back from a knock, too, as he possesses the individual brilliance to hurt Argentina’s defense that is more susceptible than usual. \n\n\n\n3. Spain vs. Belgium\n\n\n\nThe names on paper make this an intriguing battle, but the on-pitch feel may be slightly different. Spain entered the tournament as one of the favorites for a reason. La Furia Roja have yet to concede a goal with Rodri returning to peak form in midfield. Where they’re struggling is in attack, as Lamine Yamal has not looked fully fit coming off a hamstring injury. Mikel Oyarzabal has four goals, but he’s left some on the table and backup left winger Alex Baena is not at the same level as Nico Williams, who’s nursing an injury.\n\n\n\nBelgium’s golden generation has passed, but players like Thibaut Courtois and Romelu Lukaku are still playing key roles. They’ve been aided by Leandro Trossard, Charles De Ketelaere and Youri Tielemans, among others, while Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku have not impressed head coach Rudi Garcia enough. There’s definitely potential for a great game that could top No. 2 on this list, but that will rely on the Red Devils staying consistent in attack against an elite defense.\n\n\n\n2. France vs. Morocco\n\n\n\nThe 2022 semifinal in Qatar saw the Atlas Lions fall short due to their lack of quality forwards. That’s changed now this time, with Brahim and Bilal El Khannouss thriving on the wings. The main worry will be Ismael Saibari’s fitness after coming off early vs. Canada with a hamstring injury. Morocco went onto win 3-0 thanks to its midfield, but Les Bleus are a whole different threat.\n\n\n\nKylian Mbappe, Michael Olise, Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele are among the star attackers, while William Saliba and Dayot Upamecano have formed a tremendous center-back partnership. France should eventually go through like in 2022, but the quality of the matchup will likely be levels higher as Morocco maintains top intensity regardless of the opponent. \n\n\n\n1. Norway vs. England\n\n\n\nThe sport’s most dominant scorer vs. a team full of Premier League players that know him well. That factor likely won’t stop Erling Haaland from getting on the score sheet again, but Norway’s dark-horse run will rely on him capitalizing on the moments with captain Martin Odegaard behind him. Haaland wasn’t involved much vs. Brazil until when it mattered most, while England are coming off an electric win vs. Mexico in Mexico City. Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka were vital in attack, with the defense stepping up after going down to 10 men.\n\n\n\nNorway’s starting left winger, whether it’s Antonio Nusa or Andreas Schjelderup, will need to take advantage of England’s right-back problem. Reece James and Djed Spence have been battling injuries, while emergency option Jarrell Quansah received the red card vs. Mexico. Will the “Viking row” be in the spotlight once again or will the Three Lions be one step closer to bringing it home?","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/ranking-quarterfinal-games-france-argentina-england/4046039/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Sanjesh Singh","publishDate":"2026-07-07T19:32:11.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fhaaland-messi-mbappe-getty-7726.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2250%2C1269","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"ranking-the-world-cup-quarterfinal-matchups-is-norway-england-no-1"},{"id":"2koyke","title":"Fort Worth officials vote against data center zoning rules after residents voice concerns","excerpt":"Fort Worth zoning officials rejected proposed recommendations for data centers built in the city on Wednesday after spending the day listening to resident concerns.","content":"Fort Worth zoning officials rejected proposed recommendations for data centers built in the city on Wednesday after spending the day listening to resident concerns.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/fort-worth-considers-data-center-zoning-rules","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Alex.Boyer@fox.com (Alex Boyer)","publishDate":"2026-07-08T20:59:23.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2F4p-h1-fw-data-center-regulations_00.00.00.00.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"fort-worth-officials-vote-against-data-center-zoning-rules-after-residents-voice-concerns"},{"id":"it2swj","title":"The World Cup quarterfinals are set.

Supporters from around the world are embracing new favorites to cheer for through the final stages of the World Cup.\n\n\n\nEnrique Zarate, whose native Mexico was eliminated earlier just before the U.S., shifted his support to France. He said Kylian Mbappé is one of his favorite players and he believes France has the talent to win the World Cup.\n\n\n\n\n\nMartina Vega, of Ecuador, backed Argentina, because she admires the team’s style of play: “They play as a team, not an individual, and their fans are definitely a great fan base.”\n\n\n\nMorocco is one of the only two non-European fans left, along with Argentina, and supporter Sabrina Marmucha welcomes fans looking for a new team to follow.\n\n\n\n“We want everyone to join,” Marmucha said. “We love culture.

She was denied entrance to the venue by authorities who told her, “we know where you stand,” she said.\n\n\n\nThat’s according to a lawsuit McGonigle filed Tuesday against the Office of the President and the Secret Service. She alleges the Trump administration violated her First Amendment rights by prohibiting her from attending events where Vice President JD Vance was speaking, due to her online criticism of the administration.\n\n\n\nMcGonigle, 37, is the self-described Vance troll behind the @catsonacouch account. The “petty cat account” has almost 2 million followers and “exists purr-ly to troll the current administration & have more followers than J.D. Vance,” according to its Instagram.\n\n\n\nThe creator launched the account in 2024, after Vance derided Kamala Harris and other Democrats as “childless cat ladies” in 2021. In his new memoir, Vance called the statement “one of the dumbest things I ever said.“\n\n\n\nMcGonigle’s account has trolled Vance with a variety of gimmicks, from sharing memes about him getting intimate with a couch, to printing out mock “Wanted” posters depicting him as a suspect in the death of Pope Francis. She also uses the account to engage in mutual aid efforts with her followers, which she calls her “petty besties.”\n\n\n\n“It’s absurd that the Secret Service is wasting their time tracking a satirical cat account on social media,” McGonigle said in a Tuesday statement released by the ACLU, who represents her. \n\n\n\nOn May 14, McGonigle registered to attend an event in Bangor, Maine, where Vance was set to speak on the Trump administration’s efforts to combat healthcare fraud. The vice president was accompanied by acting Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling.\n\n\n\nAccording to her lawsuit, McGonigle complied with all advance guest guidance provided by the Executive Office of the President before attending the event. She received confirmation directly from Vance’s office and event materials carrying the White House seal, but at the event was told by Secret Service that it was private, she said.\n\n\n\n“Every single sign pointed to this being a public event,” McGonigle said in a May Instagram post. “Either it was a public event as advertised, and I was denied entry because I think J.D. Vance is a sentient jar of mayonnaise, or it was a private event and taxpayer dollars were being used to fund J.D. Vance’s little ‘safe space.’ Either way, it’s giving lawsuit vibes.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis isn’t the first time McGonigle has been turned away from a vice presidential event, according to her Tuesday lawsuit. She was stopped from attending a Vance event in Iowa, after registering for the event but never receiving a confirmation she could attend, she alleges.\n\n\n\nMcGonigle’s suit notes she will try to attend more of Vance’s public events in the coming weeks and “express her views as an audience member, including by cheering, booing, and wearing clothing with political messages.” At the event in Maine, McGonigle said she wore a shirt saying, “J.D. Vance cured my imposter syndrome.”\n\n\n\nHer lawsuit argues there’s “a credible threat that Ms. McGonigle will be excluded from such events” and could face criminal charges without court intervention. The content creator is asking the court to bar the Trump administration from blocking her from any future events.\n\n\n\n“The First Amendment cannot be revoked just because one of the country’s most powerful people can’t take a joke,” said ACLU of Maine staff attorney Anahita Sotoohi. \n\n\n\nThe White House and the Secret Service did not immediately respond to requests for comment. \nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/amanda-mcgonigle-vance-lawsuit-first-amendment/4046069/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Katharine Lee","publishDate":"2026-07-07T17:55:29.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FVice-President-JD-Vance-Participates-In-Naval-Revi-2284626785-Getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5119%2C3412","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"catsonacouch-instagram-creator-sues-after-being-barred-from-jd-vance-event"},{"id":"xul6h4","title":"Cargo plane with 5 aboard goes missing off Pakistan's coast, officials say","excerpt":"A cargo plane with five crew members aboard went missing off the Pakistani port of Karachi late Tuesday after rapidly descending and losing contact with air traffic controllers on a flight from United Arab Emirates, officials said.\n\n\n\nPakistan’s airport authority posted on X that search and rescu...","content":"A cargo plane with five crew members aboard went missing off the Pakistani port of Karachi late Tuesday after rapidly descending and losing contact with air traffic controllers on a flight from United Arab Emirates, officials said.\n\n\n\nPakistan’s airport authority posted on X that search and rescue operations were underway in the Arabian Sea. The cause of the aircraft’s disappearance was not immediately known.\n\n\n\nThe Boeing 737 was being operated by Karachi-based K2 Airways on a cargo flight from Sharjah in the UAE to Karachi when it reported a navigation system problem at 9:18 p.m. local time, the authority said.\n\n\n\nRadar data showed the aircraft rapidly descending and making a sharp change in heading at about 9:21 p.m. before radar and radio contact were lost about 155 nautical miles (287 kilometers, 178 miles) west of Karachi, the authority said.\n\n\n\nAuthorities responded by activating the Rescue Coordination Center and search and rescue operations were launched at sea through various agencies to locate the missing aircraft, according to the airport authority.\n\n\n\nAviation expert Imran Aslam told local ARY News that it remains unclear what caused the aircraft to disappear from radar. He said that even if an aircraft suffers an engine failure, it would normally continue gliding rather than plunge suddenly. “I still cannot understand how the plane went down so abruptly instead of gliding,” he said.\n\n\n\nAccording to the K2 Airways website, it is a private cargo airline based in Karachi and was established in May 2018.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWar with Iran\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 7\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tU.S. launches new strikes against Iran, revokes oil sales permit after 3 ships attacked in Strait of Hormuz\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImmigration\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 7\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tU.S. illegally shared confidential info on asylum seekers with Iran, lawsuit alleges\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nAuthorities said Pakistan’s military and civilian authorities had deployed multiple air and sea assets for the search and rescue operation.

The demand for tests for cyclosporiasis, a pathogen often caused by contaminated fresh produce, is so intense, with so many patients seeking help for diarrhea and crippling abdominal cramps, that many labs can’t keep up. \n\n\n\nThe source of the fast-moving illnesses is unknown, although the Food and Drug Administration said an investigation is ongoing.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCases in Michigan could easily reach 1,000, said Dr. Anurag Malani, vice chief of staff at Trinity Health Ann Arbor. “There are many more cases that are yet to come.”\n\n\n\nMeanwhile, health officials are scrambling to figure out what people are eating that’s making them sick.\n\n\n\n“We’re pulling people’s grocery shopping lists,” said Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, chief medical executive for the state of Michigan. Staff, she said, are working overtime as cases have increased precipitously in recent weeks: 708 cases over the course of about 10 days. \n\n\n\nIt’s “highly unusual,” Bagdasarian said, as the state usually sees 40 to 50 cases a year. \n\n\n\n\n\nCyclosporiasis cases tend to increase during the summer, usually between May 1 and Aug. 31, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most cases are centered in the southeastern part of Michigan, although illnesses have also been reported in Ohio, North Carolina, Illinois and New Jersey, among others.\n\n\n\nThe FDA and CDC are monitoring the outbreaks, an FDA spokesperson said in an email. “We are not in a position at this time to characterize the current numbers as definitively unusual pending the completion of that investigation,” the spokesperson said.\n\n\n\nThe disease — cyclosporiasis — is a foodborne illness caused by a microscopic parasite called cyclospora. Fresh produce is almost always the source. Previous outbreaks have involved raspberries, bagged lettuce or salads, cilantro, and basil. \n\n\n\nSymptoms include explosive, watery diarrhea. People may also have unusually bad gas, stomach cramps, nausea and loss of appetite.\n\n\n\n\n\nAccording to the CDC, 145 cases of cyclosporiasis in 17 states were reported from the beginning of May through June 16, although those numbers are likely a vast undercount. \n\n\n\n“CDC has no evidence of a single, multistate Cyclospora outbreak linking cases happening right now and being reported in the press,” a CDC spokesperson wrote in an email. \n\n\n\nHowever, as of July 2025, the CDC made tracking cyclospora optional, as part of scaling back its Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network. At the time, food safety experts worried that it could make it harder to identify and respond to outbreaks.\n\n\n\nDr. Brian Kaminski, vice president of medical affairs at ProMedica Health System, which cares for patients in both southeast Michigan and northwest Ohio, said cases in the two states appear to be part of an “epidemic cluster.”\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHealth\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 2\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCDC is tracking the source of a parasite that causes ‘explosive' diarrhea\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHealth & Science\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 2\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat to know about the ‘explosive diarrhea parasite' as U.S. cases rise\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\n“When we started seeing cases of persistent diarrhea showing up, we knew there’s something going on,” Kaminski said. “I would say that trend continues.” As of Monday, the ProMedica Health System accounted for 411 cases. \n\n\n\nCyclosporiasis does not spread from person to person, unlike norovirus, a highly contagious stomach bug that usually runs its course in a few days. Left untreated, cyclosporiasis can linger for weeks. It’s treated with an antibiotic, usually Bactrim. Some people have needed to be hospitalized, often from dehydration, Malani said. \n\n\n\nNo deaths have been reported.\n\n\n\n“The question is, where is it coming from, and are all the states connected, or are there multiple outbreaks happening?” said Dr. Matthew Sims, director of infectious diseases research at Corewell Health in Royal Oak, Michigan.\n\n\n\nIt can take one to two weeks for symptoms to develop after eating contaminated food, which can complicate the investigation. \n\n\n\nBagdasarian said that health officials are asking each patient what restaurants they’ve been to in the past couple of weeks, what they ordered, where they grocery shop and what items they purchased.\n\n\n\nTesting in some areas has become strained. “Turnaround time was initially about 24 hours, and we’re two to three days out now,” Kaminski said. If those delays continue, it’s possible that doctors may need to start treating people based on symptoms alone, rather than waiting for confirmatory results. \n\n\n\nHow to stay safe from cyclospora\n\n\n\nRinsing produce can reduce the risk for cyclosporiasis but doesn’t eliminate it. The parasite, cyclospora, “clings to produce,” Kaminski said. \n\n\n\nMichigan health officials are encouraging people to buy whole heads of lettuce and remove outer leaves where there could be contamination before washing it. \n\n\n\nRaspberries in particular can be difficult to clean because they’re covered in tiny hairs that the parasite likes to hang on. \n\n\n\nIt’s possible that freezing can kill the parasite, Sims said, but it’s not guaranteed. Cooking food is the only sure way to kill it.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/health/cyclosporiasis-outbreak-symptoms-causes-fda-cdc/4046130/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Erika Edwards and Patrick Martin | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-07T17:40:14.000Z","category":"library","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fcyclosporiasis.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C675","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"cyclosporiasis-outbreaks-what-to-know-about-the-foodborne-illness-and-symptoms"},{"id":"j0ed1s","title":"Off-duty firefighter saves three children after boat overturns on lake","excerpt":"An off-duty firefighter is being hailed a hero for saving the lives of three children after a boat overturned on Alvarado Lake during the holiday weekend, according to Alvarado Police.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA boat carrying nine people capsized Sunday, trapping three children beneath the vessel.

Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet, sounded its missile alert sirens Wednesday morning after the American attack on Iran.\n\n\n\nThe attacks on shipping and the resulting strikes on Iran came during the dayslong funeral for Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed Feb. 28 in the war’s first moments at age 86. The funeral, which ends Thursday, had been thought to be a period of lower tensions — though mourners have repeatedly called for the killings of U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.\n\n\n\nNegotiations to reach a final deal had been due to start after Khamenei’s burial and focus on the toughest matters, including fully reopening the strait and rolling back Tehran’s disputed nuclear program. But the new attacks threw that into question.\n\n\n\n“The era of bullying and extortion is over,” Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf wrote on X. “It leads nowhere.

Those boats have been key in harassing ships in the strait.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. military remains “postured and prepared to hold Iran accountable when the agreement is not adhered to or obeyed,” it added, saying this round of attacks had ended.\n\n\n\nIran acknowledged the strikes, but offered no word on any losses. Iranian state media reported the sound of explosions in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm and Sirik.\n\n\n\nIran’s central military command warned it “will respond decisively to this aggression and terrorist act.”\n\n\n\n“Under no circumstances will (the Iranian armed forces) allow interference in the affairs of the Strait of Hormuz, nor will they permit others to manage it,” it said.\n\n\n\nA similar spate of Iranian attacks on shipping and U.S. retaliatory strikes occurred late last month — which drew Iranian attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait. Wednesday’s strikes also came as Trump was in Turkey for a summit of the NATO military alliance.\n\n\n\nU.S. revokes license for the sale of Iranian oil\n\n\n\nThe U.S. also revoked a license that authorized the sale of Iranian oil as part of the interim deal. That had allowed Iran for the first time in years to conduct oil sales openly on the international market for U.S. dollars. Iran long had been suspected of selling sanctioned crude oil at below-market prices to China.\n\n\n\nA U.S. official said the license was revoked because Iran’s actions in the strait were unacceptable and needed to be met with consequences. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to share insight into the reasoning behind the move.\n\n\n\nThe decision came after the strikes on shipping. One tanker was traveling off the coast of Oman when it was hit and caught fire, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said. Iranian state television said the liquefied natural gas tanker came under attack after ignoring warnings but did not directly claim the assault.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe other two ships sustained some damage, but no one was injured, and both continued on their way in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.K. maritime agency said. Iran has maintained a chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz since the war, disrupting global energy markets as a fifth of all traded oil and natural gas passed through the channel in peacetime. The ships attacked Tuesday all appeared to be using a route close to Oman’s shore, rather than one ordered by Tehran.\n\n\n\nTehran repeatedly has declared that only its approved route through the strait is safe and is suspected of attacking other ships that have used the Oman route.\n\n\n\nMajed al-Ansari, a spokesperson for the Qatari Foreign Ministry, said the Qatari tanker Al Rekayyat was targeted in an “unacceptable attack” on international navigation and global energy security. He said Qatar holds Iran “fully legally responsible.”\n\n\n\nIran and the United States agreed as part of the interim deal to allow ships to pass without paying charges for 60 days. But Tehran insisted it must control the vessels’ routes and later charge fees for passage, which would upend decades of practice in the waterway.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. and many Gulf Arab states say they will not agree to Iran charging for passage through the strait.\n\n\n\nMourners gather in Qom for Khamenei’s funeral\n\n\n\nAuthorities flew Khamenei’s body to the Shiite seminary city of Qom, where mourners honored him Tuesday.\n\n\n\nIranian state television aired live images of hundreds of thousands of people walking toward Jamkaran Mosque, just south of Qom, for the funeral service. Shiites believe the mosque once hosted Muhammad al-Mahdi, the 12th and last Shiite imam, who disappeared in the 9th century and is supposed to one day reappear to bring justice to the world.\n\n\n\nKhamenei’s son, Iran’s new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, has yet to make an appearance at the ceremonies, which began Saturday in Tehran. He is believed to be in hiding after reportedly being wounded in the airstrike that killed his father.\n\n\n\nKhamenei’s body arrived late Tuesday in Iraq, where it was received by officials from both countries. Processions are planned for Wednesday in Najaf and Karbala, the two holy Shiite cities.\n\n\n\nKhamenei will then be returned to Iran to be buried Thursday at the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad, his birthplace.\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nHussein and Toropin reported from Washington.

Peterman, WaterTower Theatre’s (WTT) Producing Artistic Director since 2019, departed the Addison-based theater company in June to become CEO of The Augusta Players and The Imperial Theatre in Augusta, Georgia.\n\n\n\nThe Imperial Theatre in Augusta, Georgia\n\n\n\nThe Imperial Theatre opened in 1918 as a vaudeville showcase, and it is the only operating historic theatre in Augusta. The Augusta Players is a non-profit community theatre organization founded in 1945. Peterman will lead both organizations as they work towards a proposed merger.\n\n\n\n“It felt it was time to pass things on to new leadership at WTT. I had a few opportunities pop up and Augusta felt really right. Two companies with just about 200 years of history merging, and a beautiful 185 seat theatre. I’m very excited by the opportunity and humbled by the challenge coupled with an authentic feeling of community in that region. They have been amazing at welcoming me and there is great support,” Peterman said.\n\n\n\nPeterman’s appointment concludes a national search involving board leadership, search committee members, staff, and community stakeholders representing both organizations.\n\n\n\n“Shane brings the rare combination of artistic understanding, business discipline, warmth, and vision that this moment requires,” said M. Amy Patton, Interim CEO of The Augusta Players and Search Committee Co-Chair. “He understands that strong organizations are built through trust, transparency, relationships, and mission. We believe Shane is the right leader to help guide this next chapter.”\n\n\n\n“We are excited to welcome Shane to Augusta’s arts community. He brings exceptional talent and energy that will invigorate The Imperial Theatre, The Augusta Players, and the entire downtown theatre district,” said Chip Matson, Board Chair of the Imperial Theatre.\n\n\n\nThe Augusta Players in Augusta, Georgia\n\n\n\nPeterman’s years at WaterTower Theatre were eventful, encompassing financial difficulties and a global pandemic.\n\n\n\n“From the brink of closure in 2019 to surviving the pandemic and subsequent challenges in regional theatre. WTT is a survivor. I’m very proud of our resilience for seven years,” Peterman said.\n\n\n\nAs Peterman started his new job on June 15, he reflected on what he will miss most about WaterTower Theatre.\n\n\n\n“The people. Patrons, board, staff, amazing artists; I’ve learned a lot and am excited to carry that with me into my next position as CEO,” Peterman said.\n\n\n\nIn an email sent to patrons on July 1, WaterTower Theatre announced changes to its Season 30 schedule as it navigates this leadership transition and considers financial realities.\n\n\n\n“After careful consideration, we have made the financial decision to cancel Wonderland, which was scheduled to close our 30th season this October.

Get to the roof,’ even though we told them we can’t. There’s nothing we can do,” said Wilson.\n\n\n\nHer husband, Julian Ryan, punched out a window in an attempt to save his family, but it was too late to escape.\n\n\n\nHis sacrifice would prove fatal. \n\n\n\nWilson said the shattered glass severed his arm. The bleeding wouldn’t stop. \n\n\n\n“I don’t know how long it took. I have guestimates. I have ranges, but I didn’t look at the time. I wasn’t watching it. But at some point, he was gone,” she said.\n\n\n\nRyan was one of 119 people who died that day in Kerr County.\n\n\n\nWilson, her two boys and her mother-in-law survived by clinging to a closet ledge as they waited hours for help to arrive.\n\n\n\n“It’s been a rollercoaster. I’ve had a lot of highs, a lot of lows, and it’s random. I’ll be thinking, I’m doing good and that everything’s great, and I’ve moved past it. Then a song will come on, or I’ll drive by a place that we used to go a lot, or Father’s Day will hit and I’ll think about how he’s missing all of the experiences with his son that he could be having,” said Wilson.\n\n\n\nOne year later, she’s piecing her life back together. \n\n\n\nWilson’s gone through counseling, and this week, started a new job. She’s now focused on getting her family back into permanent housing. \n\n\n\nAs many in the still flood-ravaged community have learned, recovery takes time.\n\n\n\n“You know, I have to recognize my new world, you know, learn to navigate my new life,” said Jackie Burton. \n\n\n\nWe first met Burton back in August when she showed us the tree where she rode out the storm.\n\n\n\nBurton was just a few doors down from Wilson when the water washed away her home. She lost her dog, Jack, in the rushing water as she clung to a tree waiting for help to arrive. \n\n\n\n“It’s so weird because it seems like it was so long ago and then it seems like it was yesterday,” she said.\n\n\n\nThanks to the generosity of fellow Texans, today Burton is in a new home. \n\n\n\nShe also adopted Bruno, an 8-month-old puppy that has served as a companion for her and her cat, Monkey, who also survived the flood. \n\n\n\nShe hopes the anniversary marks a new chapter. \n\n\n\n“I’m just trying to make it like be the tipping point of where I can just let it go now and just feel normal again,” said Burton. \n\n\n\nWilson’s also focused on moving forward.\n\n\n\nShe said she’s finally secured funding for a new home. And despite protests from some loved ones, she’s signed a letter of intent to again rent the lot where she was building a life with Julian.\n\n\n\n“This is where I felt closest to Julian. It’s where I still feel closest to Julian,” she said.\n\n\n\nIt’s also a place where their son can grow up reminded of his father’s love. \n\n\n\n“I want him to be a good person. I want him to be the person his dad knew he could be, and I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure of that,” said Wilson.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/family-father-killed-flood-fighting-return-home-one-year/4043994/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Allie Spillyards","publishDate":"2026-07-03T21:30:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fposter-frame-1782998675279.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"family-of-father-killed-in-flood-still-fighting-to-return-home-one-year-later"},{"id":"mom7fy","title":"Lost parrot reunited with owner after viral salon Snapchat","excerpt":"In Highland Village, a routine morning at Him.Barber started like any other, but took an unexpected turn when an unusual visitor was spotted at the front window.\n\n\n\nEmployees saw a colorful bird perched on the windowsill and figured he was far from home, so they jumped into action. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n” I or...","content":"In Highland Village, a routine morning at Him.Barber started like any other, but took an unexpected turn when an unusual visitor was spotted at the front window.\n\n\n\nEmployees saw a colorful bird perched on the windowsill and figured he was far from home, so they jumped into action. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n” I originally took a kolache one of our barbers got, and put it up on the windowsill. And he was sort of nibbling at it,” said barber Luke Spitzer. After getting a few nibbles, he lured the bird onto a booster chair and brought it inside.\n\n\n\nAt first, employees thought the bird couldn’t fly; they were wrong.\n\n\n\nVideo posted to social media shows the moments the bird, later identified as Bosco, took flight around the salon, and chaos followed.\n\n\n\nShop owner Genti Rifati said the initial flight was alarming, but cooler heads prevailed. \n\n\n\n” A lot of the younger kids are freaking out, screaming in their first reaction to flying,” he said, “But then I’m like, guys, it’s just like a pet, right?”\n\n\n\nEventually, Bosco settled on Genti’s arm and quickly made himself at home. \n\n\n\nHe perched on employees’ shoulders and made friends with staff and visitors. As staff waited for animal control to arrive, they shared videos of the unexpected visitor on social media, including a clip of employees dancing with the friendly bird. \n\n\n\nThose posts changed everything. \n\n\n\nOne of the salon employees shared the videos on Snapchat, where they eventually reached a teenager who immediately recognized Bosco as her family’s missing bird.\n\n\n\n“Someone messaged him and said, ‘Hey, I think you guys have my bird,'” Rifati recalled. “She’d been looking for him all night.”\n\n\n\nBosco’s owner, Kristen Bratton, said the curious Quaker parakeet had escaped the night before through a doggy door at her home. She spent hours searching neighborhoods, posting online and hoping he’d return.\n\n\n\n“I stayed up until 1:30 in the morning looking for him,” Bratton said. “I did not think I was going to see him again.”\n\n\n\nThen her 17-year-old daughter received a Snapchat from a friend who works at the salon.\n\n\n\nThe family rushed over.\n\n\n\nWhen Bratton walked through the door, Bosco flew straight back to her.\n\n\n\n“Out of all the people he could have ended up with, he ended up with someone my daughter knew,” Bratton said. “That is the crazy part.”\n\n\n\nFor the employees at Him.Barber, what started as an ordinary workday turned into an unforgettable rescue.\n\n\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/lost-parrot-reunited-with-owner-after-viral-salon-snapchat/4044659/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Sara Sanchez","publishDate":"2026-07-03T15:36:39.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fbird-feat.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"lost-parrot-reunited-with-owner-after-viral-salon-snapchat"},{"id":"kmzv5n","title":"Houston ICE shooting: Family of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, activists call for transparency","excerpt":"Family and activists are speaking out following the deadly shooting of a man in Houston by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer.","content":"Family and activists are speaking out following the deadly shooting of a man in Houston by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/houston-ice-shooting-death-lorenzo-salgado-araujo-press-conference","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Barbi.Barbee@fox.com (Barbi Barbee)","publishDate":"2026-07-08T23:31:40.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox26houston.com%2Fwww.fox26houston.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fvideo-5.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"houston-ice-shooting-family-of-lorenzo-salgado-araujo-activists-call-for-transparency"},{"id":"2z0vkh","title":"Salvation Army opens cooling stations across North Texas as heat index spikes","excerpt":"The Salvation Army of North Texas has activated 13 cooling and hydration stations across five counties to protect vulnerable residents from dangerous triple-digit temperatures.","content":"The Salvation Army of North Texas has activated 13 cooling and hydration stations across five counties to protect vulnerable residents from dangerous triple-digit temperatures.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/salvation-army-opens-cooling-stations-across-north-texas-heat-index-spikes","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Amber.Kite@fox.com (Amber Kite)","publishDate":"2026-07-08T18:32:35.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F08%2FS-SALVATION-ARMY-COOLING-STATION-9P_00.00.27.02.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"salvation-army-opens-cooling-stations-across-north-texas-as-heat-index-spikes"},{"id":"e677h9","title":"U.S. illegally shared confidential info on asylum seekers with Iran, lawsuit alleges","excerpt":"A lawsuit filed Tuesday alleges that the Trump administration‘s immigration agencies have been sharing confidential information about Iranian asylum seekers with the Iranian government, violating national immigration regulations and endangering countless Iranians, court filings argue.\n\n\n\nThe laws...","content":"A lawsuit filed Tuesday alleges that the Trump administration‘s immigration agencies have been sharing confidential information about Iranian asylum seekers with the Iranian government, violating national immigration regulations and endangering countless Iranians, court filings argue.\n\n\n\nThe lawsuit depicts a coordinated campaign between the U.S. and Iranian governments to identify Iranians in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody and pressure them to return to Iran — a marked departure from decades of diplomatic hostility between the two governments and an ongoing war. The Department of Homeland Security denied that it is sharing asylum application records with the Iranian government.\n\n\n\nRoughly 600 Iranians were put in immigration detention last year, according to public records obtained by the National Iranian American Council. In June, an Iranian woman was among the two dozen migrants the U.S. deported to the Central African Republic — in a marked departure from a decades-long practice by the U.S. of welcoming Iranian dissidents, exiles and others since the 1979 Islamic Revolution forced a large number of Iranians to flee.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. government is allowed to work with government officials of foreign countries to coordinate deportation logistics. However, federal regulations passed in the late 1990s prohibit the government from sharing information that could reveal that the individual getting deported applied for asylum.\n\n\n\n“Congress made these confidentiality protections mandatory precisely because lives depend on them, and no agency and no administration, of either party, may set them aside,” said Ali Rahnama, the interim executive director of Iranian American Legal Defense Fund.\n\n\n\nStarting in March 2025, the U.S. State Department arranged monthly meetings with Iranian officials, using the Pakistani embassy as an intermediary, in which U.S. officials shared detailed, sensitive information about detained Iranian immigrants who the U.S. government hoped to deport, lawyers for the Iranian American Legal Defense Fund and the Public Citizen Litigation Group wrote in a complaint.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWar with Iran\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 1\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe AP reconstructs a U.S. strike that killed over 100 Iranian children\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tImmigration\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 3\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tICE arrests 10,000 in 5 days, a sharp late-June surge in Trump's deportation push\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nThe information included details about asylum applications filed by people who say they were persecuted for converting to Christianity, for their sexuality or for participating in the Women, Life, Freedom protests against the Iranian government in 2022, according to the lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.\n\n\n\nICE forced Iranian asylum applicants who had been detained in numerous facilities, mostly southern states, to meet with an Iranian government official who had extensive and specific knowledge about their applications, according to the complaint. The information was shared even after the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran started the Iran war in February 2026.\n\n\n\nHomeland Security said in a statement Tuesday that ICE works to get travel documents for detainees in their custody and that ICE facilitates “consular access to detained individuals, in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and agency policy.”\n\n\n\n“These allegations that ICE shared asylum application records with the Iranian government are FALSE,” DHS said in a statement.\n\n\n\nThe lawsuit is seeking to halt sharing information about asylum seekers with the Iranian government and appoint an independent monitor to prevent future disclosures.\n\n\n\n“Despite the U.S.’s ongoing war with Iran, the administration seems more committed to mass deportation than protecting human lives,” Michael Kirkpatrick, attorney at Public Citizen Litigation Group said in a statement.\n\n\n\nThe complaint names the Department of Homeland Security, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin and the Department of State as some of the defendants.\n\n\n\nThe allegations come amid President Donald Trump’s ambitious and aggressive immigration crackdown that involved over 600,000 deportations and causing roughly 1.9 million immigrants to voluntarily leave in 2025 alone, according to an announcement made by DHS.\n\n\n\nIranian officials acknowledged in September 2025 that as many as 400 Iranians could be returned under an agreement with the Trump’s administration. That month, the first of three deportation flights brought dozens of Iranians back to Iran. The second deportation flight was in December 2025, and the final recorded deportation flight departed at the end of January 2026, roughly a month before the war on Iran started, and just weeks after the Iranian government killed thousands of citizens as part of a brutal crackdown on protests. The New York Times reported at the time that some of those deported in the flights in September, December and January were asylum seekers.\n\n\n\n\n\nAssociated Press reporter Rebecca Santana in Washington contributed to this report.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/us-asylum-seekers-iran-lawsuit/4046023/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) -

It also gave a reprieve to snowboard parallel giant slalom by keeping it on the program.\n\n\n\nThe changes should mean there are more female than male athletes at the next Winter Games.\n\n\n\nThe IOC set a record quota of 3,046 athletes, with 1,525 female and 1,521 male, for the next winter edition. There was a clear majority of male athletes among the almost 2,900 competing at the Milan Cortina Olympics in February.\n\n\n\nIn the French Alps there will be more medal events for women than men — 56 compared to 55 — plus 15 mixed events in the 126 total.\n\n\n\nThe Nordic combined had been all-male sport at the Olympics, but the IOC had the option of adding women’s and team events. Instead, it cut completely a sport that was an original Winter Games sport in 1924 yet struggled to find a modern audience for its mix of ski jumping and cross-country skiing.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tMORE OLYMPICS COVERAGE\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOlympics\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFeb 22\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen are the next Winter Olympics?

The IOC said Nordic combined ranked last in 11 of 14 indicators during the Milan Cortina Winter Games this year.\n\n\n\nLasse Ottesen, the Nordic combined race director at the International Ski and Snowboard Federation, said the IOC decision was extremely disappointing.\n\n\n\n“I am at a loss for words and struggle to understand the reasoning behind it,” Ottesen said. “Nordic combined has been at the heart of Nordic skiing and part of the Olympic Winter Games since 1924.”\n\n\n\nDoor still open for Utah 2034\n\n\n\n“We know and can fully understand that this may come as a disappointment,” IOC president Kirsty Coventry said Tuesday in a message to Nordic combined athletes.\n\n\n\nShe also said the discipline can return at the 2034 Utah Winter Games centered on Salt Lake City.\n\n\n\n“It is a shock that will take time to process,” said Norway’s Ida Marie Hagen, a two-time overall women’s World Cup champion. “It feels really hard that we never even got the chance to show our sport in the Olympics before we were cut out. I love this sport and we will fight all we can so that the next generation will get the change in this sport as well. Hopefully in 2034.”\n\n\n\n\n\nDebut events\n\n\n\nSynchronized skating is widely seen as a discipline for only women, and will join the Olympics in the nine-member Synchro9 format in 2030.\n\n\n\nSynchro will be female only when it debuts at the 2028 Youth Winter Olympics in Italy, with a future decision left open to let men also compete in the French Alps.\n\n\n\nFreeride takes skiers and snowboarders off traditional slopes to do jumps and turns on more natural terrain. The sport began its competitive history in 1996 as the Xtreme Verbier event in Switzerland.\n\n\n\nSnowboard PGS helped make an Olympic star of Czech two-time gold medalist Ester Ledecka and is retained for 2030, the IOC said. The discipline had been at risk after its racing style fell out of favor compared to events with jumps and tricks.\n\n\n\nAP Sports Writer Larry Lage in Detroit contributed to this report.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/2030-olympics-synchro-skating-freeride-nordic-combined/4046000/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Graham Dunbar | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-07T14:28:56.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2270385543-e1783452072158.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D6620%2C3895","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"winter-olympics-adds-synchro-skating-and-freeride-for-2030-nordic-combined-out"},{"id":"xj2wut","title":"They came to cheer World Cup teams, but after a lot of chewing they leave delighted by local fare","excerpt":"World Cup fans came from overseas to cheer.

But they’re also doing a lot of chewing, delighting their hosts with rave reviews of North American cuisine.\n\n\n\n“It’s greasy, it’s disgusting, but it’s absolutely glorious,” Jack Goodwin, a soccer enthusiast from London, said about the American food he has tried in Dallas, Boston, New York and Atlanta. \n\n\n\n“I don’t want to say this because it’s a little bit harsh, but the portions are a little bit larger — a lot more tasty — so I can understand the, um, obesity here. I don’t want to be harsh, but yes, the food is fantastic here.”\n\n\n\nInternational visitors want to try popular fast-food chains and local gems\n\n\n\nMany fans are making a point to try regional specialties or chains they can’t find where they live, like In-N-Out Burger or Buc-ee’s convenience stores. Erling Haaland, a striker for Norway’s World Cup team, posted a photo on X of himself outside Katz’s Delicatessen in New York.\n\n\n\nHarrison Murphy, who was traveling from London with his brother for the knockout rounds, had breakfast at a Chick-fil-A in Atlanta this week.\n\n\n\n“Have you had Chick-fil-A? It was fantastic and so cheap. The sauces are free! It was remarkable,” Murphy said. “I said, ‘This is my first time, what should I try?’ The woman said, ‘You’ve got to try the Chick-fil-A sauce.’ My God, was it fantastic.”\n\n\n\nGary Bishop had never heard of poutine — often considered Canada’s national dish — until he arrived in Toronto for the World Cup. But the Glasgow, Scotland, resident proclaimed it “absolutely delicious.”\n\n\n\n“It was like chips with gravy, cheese. But it was a really thick gravy. Different from back home. Vinegar, there was lots of vinegar through it,” said Bishop, who was sporting a Scotland jersey on a recent stroll through Toronto’s FIFA Fan Festival. “Really nice.”\n\n\n\nOthers are looking for a taste of home. Texas beer distributor Andrews Distributing welcomed a bus full of Dutch fans to its Dallas warehouse for Heinekens and dancing.\n\n\n\nHost city restaurants are eager to introduce new customers to old favorites\n\n\n\nIt’s a thrill for restaurant owners, from Cuban spots in Miami to barbecue joints in Kansas City and taco trucks in Mexico City.\n\n\n\n“I have not seen anything like this ever in my life,” said Paul Barker, the principal and founder of Pauli’s, a Boston restaurant known for generously filled sandwiches and comfort foods. Fans from Scotland, Brazil, England and elsewhere have lined up for his famous lobster rolls and taken photos with staff members, Barker said.\n\n\n\n“Food becomes a natural conversation starter,” he said. “It’s just been incredible for us to be part of this.”\n\n\n\nSome chains are leaning into the World Cup. Waffle House, the all-day breakfast chain with 2,000 restaurants across the South, opened a pop-up shop in downtown Atlanta to sell branded soccer balls, jerseys and patriotic gear. In a statement, the chain said it was “honored by the enthusiasm and curiosity” shown by visiting fans.\n\n\n\nFor other restaurants, World Cup fever has been a delightful surprise. Whataburger, a Texas-based chain with 1,100 locations, found itself in the spotlight after fans from Japan and elsewhere posted about their visits on social media.\n\n\n\n“The attention has been completely organic and honestly pretty entertaining,” Whataburger President and CEO Debbie Stroud said. “We knew the World Cup would bring the world to Texas and our footprint across 17 states. We just didn’t realize so many visitors would leave talking about a patty melt.”\n\n\n\nEating barbecue is high on the bucket lists of foreign foodies\n\n\n\nTerry Black’s Barbecue, a small Texas chain, figured authentic barbecue would be on many fans’ must-try lists. It started sourcing extra meat more than a month ago for its locations in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, which are each about 20 minutes from the stadium where World Cup matches are played.\n\n\n\nIt takes Terry Black’s four days to season and prepare its beef brisket and 12 hours to barbecue it. The chain also smokes turkey, pork and sausages on its pits, which run 24 hours a day.\n\n\n\nThe crush of World Cup fans has meant a lot of extra planning, said Darien Kapture, the chain’s senior vice president of food and beverage operations. But it’s also meant a lot of excitement, like the night Argentina supporters packed Terry Black’s Dallas location to celebrate the team’s victory over Austria, Kapture said.\n\n\n\n“They were hooting and hollering and praising the brisket,” Kapture said. “It’s great to see that these folks are coming to America and getting to experience what we experience every day.”\n\n\n\nGoodwin, the visitor from London who said he “blew his mortgage” on a U.S. World Cup tour with his dad, deemed Terry Black’s barbecue “the most gorgeous food ever.”\n\n\n\n“The best food we’ve had here is in Dallas,” Goodwin said. “Texas barbecue. Unbelievable.”\n\n\n\nTSA reminds ranch dressing converts not to pack bottles in carry-on bags\n\n\n\nNot every review has been positive. Some fans have complained about the high price of food in World Cup stadiums, for example. A British fan told the BBC that the breakfast tea he bought from Dunkin’ was “not great.”\n\n\n\nBut for the most part, there have been more thumbs up than thumbs down. So many World Cup visitors expressed love for ranch dressing, for example, that the Transportation Security Administration issued a light-hearted reminder that tourists should pack bottles of dressing in their checked bags.\n\n\n\nAP Sports Writer Maura Carey contributed from Atlanta.

The victim’s car, a 1985 Oldsmobile, and other belongings were taken, prosecutors said.\n\n\n\nMcAllister’s criminal defense lawyer did not immediately return a message seeking comment Tuesday.\n\n\n\nDays after the slaying, “police in Dalton, Georgia, recovered some of Warren’s property and other relevant items discarded behind a Cracker Barrel restaurant” about 400 miles away, prosecutors said.\n\n\n\nWarren’s car was found in Redington Beach, Florida, about 1,000 miles from where Warren was killed.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTennessee\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 6\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNational Guard members fatally shoot man during pursuit in Memphis, police say\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCrime and Courts\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 7\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMother who claimed vaccines killed her 18-month-old twins is charged with their murders\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCrime and Courts\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 6\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tD4vd case leaks may have led to internal probe at L.A.

Mitch McConnell, according to aides, as the former GOP leader remains in the hospital more than three weeks after being admitted for undisclosed health issues.\n\n\n\nAides to McConnell have declined to release any information about his condition, fueling speculation about his prognosis and whether he will be healthy enough to be at the Capitol when the Senate returns to Washington next week after a two-week recess. McConnell, 84, is retiring at the end of his term in January.\n\n\n\nA spokesperson for Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said he had spoken with McConnell by phone on Monday and that the two had a “lengthy and substantive conversation that covered a variety of topics, including national security.” As leader, Thune is generally kept up to date on illnesses and absences in his conference as he has to navigate vote counts and his narrow 53-47 majority.\n\n\n\nWyoming Sen. John Barrasso, the No. 2 Senate Republican, had a 20-minute conversation with McConnell on Tuesday, according to a spokeswoman. The two discussed Senate races ahead of the midterm elections, the Supreme Court and other topics, the statement said.\n\n\n\n“Senator McConnell was fully engaged and is eager to get back to the Senate,” said Barrasso spokeswoman Kate Noyes.\n\n\n\nAnother McConnell ally, Republican strategist Scott Jennings, posted on X that he had also talked to McConnell for 20 minutes on Tuesday, and that “he’s still recovering in the hospital.” Jennings said they spoke about politics, foreign policy “and even a little bit of Senate history.”\n\n\n\nFew details released as McConnell remains in the hospital\n\n\n\nMcConnell was admitted to the hospital on June 14, according to a statement from his office that only said he was “receiving excellent care.”\n\n\n\nA statement a week later said that he would not be voting that week. And on Thursday, a new statement said that he ”appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital.”\n\n\n\n“The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session,” the statement said.\n\n\n\nA spokesman for McConnell released the same statement again on Tuesday, with no new updates.\n\n\n\nMcConnell has a history of health troubles\n\n\n\nThe senator’s unspecified health issues come after several hospitalizations in recent years.\n\n\n\nWhile he was still Republican leader, McConnell was hospitalized with a concussion in March 2023 and missed several weeks of work after falling in a Washington hotel. He twice froze up during news conferences after he returned, staring vacantly ahead before colleagues and staff — including Barrasso, who is a doctor — came to his assistance.\n\n\n\nA year later, he fell and sprained his wrist while walking out of a GOP luncheon.\n\n\n\nMcConnell had polio in his early childhood and he has long acknowledged some difficulty as an adult in walking and climbing stairs. He also tripped and fell in 2019 at his home in Kentucky and underwent surgery for a fractured shoulder.\n\n\n\nThe Kentucky senator was first elected to the Senate in 1984 and was the Republican leader from 2007 until last year, serving as both majority and minority leader during that period. He has remained active as a rank-and-file senator, showing up for work when the chamber is in session, often using a wheelchair to get around.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/politics/senate-leaders-mitch-mcconnell-hospital/4045975/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) -

Employees monitoring the vehicle’s live interior camera feeds believed the passengers were firing a real weapon.\n\n\n\n“We got a call from a Waymo representative stating there were two people in their vehicle and saw them shooting out of their vehicle,” said Jeanine Luna, a community relations officer for the San Mateo Police Department. “They also reported seeing a recoil.”\n\n\n\n\n\nWaymo shared the car’s location with authorities and remotely disabled it near 20th Avenue and El Camino Real while officers moved into position. To keep the teens from leaving, the company told them the vehicle was experiencing mechanical trouble, police said.\n\n\n\nOfficers treated the response as a high-risk traffic stop. They safely removed the 14- and 15-year-old passengers before searching the vehicle and their property. Investigators determined the teens had been shooting an Orbeez gun, a widely available toy that fires water-filled pellets.\n\n\n\nWhile the weapons are sold at local retailers, police warned that they can cause real property damage and often resemble actual firearms.\n\n\n\n“BB guns, toy guns are getting painted over to look black, so to an untrained eye, you don’t know if it’s a real gun or not,” Luna said.\n\n\n\nWaymo declined to comment on the incident. However, the company’s website states its vehicles are equipped with interior cameras and microphones, and that it may share information with law enforcement during emergencies or as permitted by law.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe situation highlights the ethical gray areas of driverless technology and active passenger monitoring, according to Irina Raicu, the internet ethics program director at Santa Clara University.\n\n\n\n“I understand that it was the observation of the gun, but was it people outside the car who called Waymo … or was it something that set off the actual watching of the live video of the car?” Raicu asked.\n\n\n\nDespite the privacy concerns, Luna commended Waymo’s handling of the situation.\n\n\n\n“They were right in calling us and letting us figure it out,” Luna said.\n\n\n\nPolice also pointed out that despite the disruption, the teens made the smart choice to use a ride-hailing service rather than driving while impaired.\n\n\n\nThe teenagers were not arrested and were released to their parents. Investigators are asking the district attorney’s office to review a possible open-container violation and are continuing to work with Waymo to determine if additional charges are appropriate.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/waymo-teens-drinking-shooting-objects-san-mateo/4046586/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Jocelyn Moran and Ali Reid","publishDate":"2026-07-07T13:44:13.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FVideo-15-1.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"waymo-traps-teens-firing-toy-gun-in-driverless-car-raising-privacy-concerns"},{"id":"iig19","title":"Ride along on new Tormenta: Rampaging Run roller coaster at Six Flags Over Texas","excerpt":"Daredevils and speed seekers, buckle in.

In a short conversation posted on the institute’s website, the 43rd president talked about what July 4th means to him, the 1976 bicentennial, what unites the country and the “armies of compassion” he says will help lead America into its next 250 years.\n\n\n\nIn addition to special exhibits, the Bush Center houses a replica Oval Office, exhibits on Sept. 11, 2001 and an interactive experience in presidential decision-making through the Decision Points Theater.\n\n\n\nThe George W. Bush Presidential Center is on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tGeorge W.

Kennedy Jr. — Shaw said her twins died after getting vaccinated. Kennedy has not been affiliated with the group since December 2024, when he formally resigned as chairman to join President Donald Trump’s administration.\n\n\n\nShaw, 23, was arrested by Boise police officers Tuesday and arraigned Thursday. She is being held on a $2 million bond and could face life in prison or the death penalty if convicted or if she pleads guilty to first-degree murder. Her next court appearance is July 14.\n\n\n\nJoe Filicetti, an attorney representing Shaw, wrote in a text message that she “denies anything and everything” and that the state “cannot prove” the criminal charges.\n\n\n\n“We will defend her with wholeheartedness,” Filicetti added.\n\n\n\nThe Payette Police Department and the Payette County prosecutor’s office declined to comment Monday.\n\n\n\nDuring her May 2025 appearance on the Children’s Health Defense show, Shaw said she found her twins dead in their room days after they got vaccinated for the flu and other diseases.\n\n\n\n“They had got their shots at the same time by two nurses at the same time,” Shaw said. “And they got sick.”\n\n\n\nMedical experts point out that the childhood vaccines at issue — hepatitis A, influenza and DTaP — are safe and effective for kids and recommended by various medical groups.\n\n\n\nShaw is also a plaintiff in a federal lawsuit brought by Children’s Health Defense and others against the American Academy of Pediatrics. The lawsuit, which was filed in January in federal court in Washington, accuses the American Academy of Pediatrics of racketeering for its “central role in an enterprise that has defrauded American families about the safety of the childhood vaccine schedule for several decades.” In the lawsuit, Shaw is described as a mother “whose children died following routine vaccinations administered according to AAP guidelines.”\n\n\n\nThe American Academy of Pediatrics has asked the court to dismiss the suit, asserting in an April court filing that it is the “latest missive in a campaign targeting” the academy and its “use of science-backed evidence in vaccine policy.”\n\n\n\nIn January, pediatricians and other experts became alarmed when U.S. health officials made broad changes to childhood vaccine guidance, dropping several universal recommendations. Kennedy, who helped lead the anti-vaccine movement for years, said the changes better align the U.S. with peer nations “while strengthening transparency and informed consent.”\n\n\n\nIn March, a federal judge blocked the changes and said Kennedy likely violated federal procedures in revamping a key vaccine advisory committee. But the judge’s order is not the final word; the blocks are temporary, pending either a trial or a decision for summary judgment.\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nKelety reported from Phoenix.

The early goal put Argentina behind at the World Cup for the first time since its opening match against Saudi Arabia at the 2022 tournament.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMessi had a chance to draw Argentina even with a penalty kick in the 21st minute but was thwarted by Egyptian goalkeeper Mostafa Shoubir, who dove to his left for the save.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEgypt seemingly took a 2-0 lead in the 58th minute after taking it the length of the field and ending with a goal from Mostafa Ziko. However, a VAR review found that Attia fouled Argentina’s Lisandro Martinez to set up Egypt’s attack, wiping the goal off the board and keeping the deficit at one. \n\n\n\nThe Egyptians were not deterred, though. They mounted another counter attack in the 67th minute with Mo Salah taking it the full length of the pitch. He then dumped it off to Haissem Hassan, who dished a perfect pass to Ziko for the goal.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith their backs against the wall, Messi proved yet again why he’s the most decorated player in the history of the game.\n\n\n\nArgentina got some life back in the 79th minute when Messi lobbed in a crosser for Cristian Romero, who put a convincing header past Shoubir.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMessi then found the equalizer in the 83rd minute. The ball bounced around the box before Messi gave a left-footed strike into the back of the net. It was Messi’s eighth goal of the tournament — giving him the top spot in the Golden Boot race once again — the 21st goal of this World Cup career and his ninth straight World Cup match with a goal.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnzo Fernandez put Argentina ahead with a header in the second minute of second-half stoppage time, completing the miracle comeback.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArgentina will now await the winner of Tuesday’s Switzerland-Colombia clash in the quarterfinals. That quarterfinal match will be played 9 p.m. ET on Saturday in Kansas City.\n\n\n\nLa Albiceleste is looking to become the third ever team to repeat as World Cup champions. Only Italy (1934 and 1938) and Brazil (1958 and 1962) have accomplished the feat.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/argentina-egypt-score-lionel-messi-round-of-16/4045858/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Max Molski","publishDate":"2026-07-07T13:06:24.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FUSATSI_29345819.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4701%2C3088","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"messi-miracle-argentina-pulls-off-stunning-world-cup-comeback-vs-egypt"},{"id":"im0h6z","title":"Ex-Texas Tech professor admits to running fentanyl ring, trading drugs for sex, documents say","excerpt":"Former Texas Tech assistant professor Daniel Taylor pleaded guilty to running a sophisticated fentanyl network that traded drugs for sex and caused eight overdoses.","content":"Former Texas Tech assistant professor Daniel Taylor pleaded guilty to running a sophisticated fentanyl network that traded drugs for sex and caused eight overdoses.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/former-texas-tech-professor-pleads-guilty-running-sophisticated-fentanyl-ring","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Amber.Kite@fox.com (Amber Kite)","publishDate":"2026-07-08T17:19:46.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fttu-prof-fentanyl.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"ex-texas-tech-professor-admits-to-running-fentanyl-ring-trading-drugs-for-sex-documents-say"},{"id":"bp0muy","title":"Utah revokes license for school where Paris Hilton says she was abused as a teen","excerpt":"The state of Utah has revoked the license of a boarding school where socialite Paris Hilton said she was abused as a teenager, saying the school has “failed to provide applicable health and safety services for clients.”\n\n\n\nThe state’s action, which took effect Monday, cites multiple noncompliance...","content":"The state of Utah has revoked the license of a boarding school where socialite Paris Hilton said she was abused as a teenager, saying the school has “failed to provide applicable health and safety services for clients.”\n\n\n\nThe state’s action, which took effect Monday, cites multiple noncompliance issues against the Provo Canyon School’s campus in Springville. The school has 15 days to request a hearing before the Department of Health & Human Services.\n\n\n\nThe wide-ranging citations, which go back to 2025, include failing to increase staff-to-client ratios, engaging in an unnecessary restraint and aggressive physical contact with a client, neglecting care, and not verifying employee information or submitting background checks for applicants in a timely manner. State health officials imposed temporary restrictions on the school in May, saying staff did not seek immediate medical care for a student with serious injuries.\n\n\n\n“For more than fifty years, children came forward with stories of abuse, neglect, and trauma,” Hilton said in a statement provided Tuesday. “Today, the state confirmed what survivors have known all along: Provo Canyon School failed the children in its care.\n\n\n\n\n\n“I was one of those children. I know what it feels like to cry for help and believe no one is coming. Today, children still inside that facility know someone is finally coming to protect them.”\n\n\n\nHilton, the hotel heiress and media personality, spent almost a year at the school in the late 1990s. She alleges staff members beat her, watched her shower, fed her unknown pills and locked her in solitary confinement without clothing.\n\n\n\nShannon Thoman-Black, director of the division of licensing and background checks at the Utah Department of Health and Human Services, said Tuesday during a media briefing that the facility must close by Aug. 6. She also said the owners “may not reapply for a new license for five years” and the department continues to “conduct weekly inspections and monitor for rule compliance.”\n\n\n\n“It is actually incredibly unsafe if we were to go in and just stick a sign on the door and say, ‘Everybody out,’” Thoman-Black added. “We have the responsibility to make sure these kids get discharged into safe places.”\n\n\n\n\n\nHilton, 45, called on Utah licensors to shut down the school. She has testified about her experiences there in Congress and state legislatures around the U.S., helping pass laws to protect teens in Utah and 15 other states. Utah has long played an outsized role in the troubled teen industry, a network of private, for-profit residential centers for children with behavioral issues.\n\n\n\nProvo Canyon School, described on its website as a psychiatric residential treatment facility for youth ages 12 to 18, did not immediately respond to an Associated Press email seeking comment. The state said in its letter that all services at the campus must be terminated by Aug. 6.\n\n\n\nIn June, Hilton returned to the school to speak in support of two families who filed lawsuits alleging their children were mistreated there.\n\n\n\nThe school is under new ownership. The administration has said it can’t comment on anything that came before the change, including Hilton’s time there.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCelebrity News\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 16\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tParis Hilton returns to Utah ‘troubled teen' facility to support others who allege mistreatment\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCongress\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDec 18, 2024\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHouse passes bill backed by Paris Hilton to reform youth treatment facilities","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/utah-revokes-license-boarding-school-paris-hilton-says-was-abused-teen/4045849/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Kathy McCormack | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-07T11:44:12.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FPROVO-CANYON-SCHOOL.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C675","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"utah-revokes-license-for-school-where-paris-hilton-says-she-was-abused-as-a-teen"},{"id":"w100g4","title":"Chiefs wife wins $6,700 Chanel purse at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding","excerpt":"A star‑studded wedding came with star‑studded prizes.\n\n\n\nJackie Tranquill, wife of Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Drue Tranquill, revealed that she left Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding on July 3 with a new Chanel handbag after winning a raffle at the celebration.\n\n\n\nTranquill posted to soc...","content":"A star‑studded wedding came with star‑studded prizes.\n\n\n\nJackie Tranquill, wife of Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Drue Tranquill, revealed that she left Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding on July 3 with a new Chanel handbag after winning a raffle at the celebration.\n\n\n\nTranquill posted to social media on Monday, showing the black designer bag alongside a light‑pink raffle ticket marked “winner.” Her 10‑image carousel also included photos of the Tranquills ahead of the ceremony, a shot with Chiefs long snapper James Winchester and his wife, Emily, a plated dinner, and several Fourth of July and World Cup‑themed pictures featuring their youngest son, Shepard Freedom, born in May 2026.\n\n\n\nIt is captioned, “(Shep) Freedom, Friends & fútbol ⚽️ Congrats to the newly weds 💍 Happy 250th America 🎇 & of course, let’s go USA! 🇺🇸 WHAT A WEEKEND, WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE🙏🏽”\n\n\n\nThe Chanel bag, made of calfskin, retails for $6,700, according to the brand’s website.\n\n\n\nCristina Huda, attending the Munthe show during Copenhagen Fashion Week SS26, is seen wearing a Chanel 25 small bag in black and gold pleated hardware in grained calfskin. Photo by Moritz Scholz/Getty Images\n\n\n\nTwo guests told NBC News that wedding attendees were invited to play games throughout the night, earning tickets that could be entered into raffles. In addition to multiple designer bags, the prize list included a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle, the car Swift and Kelce rode in on their first date. It’s unclear who won the other various items.\n\n\n\nIn addition to the raffle prizes, the newlyweds gifted guests a lace handkerchief embroidered with the lyric “So it’s gonna be forever…,” a nod to Swift’s hit “Blank Space.” The keepsake also featured the wedding date, “New York City,” and “TT” topped with two hearts, a reference to Taylor and Travis.\n\n\n\nAnd for more luxury touches inside Madison Square Garden, the couple exchanged vows as Swift wore a custom Christian Dior gown designed by French designer Jonathan Anderson. Both completed their looks with custom-made Christian Louboutin shoes, and Swift accessorized with Cartier jewelry. \n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcelebrity couples\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 6\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAdam Sandler shared this marriage advice with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTaylor Swift\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 6\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWho caught Taylor Swift's bouquet?

Despite the arena being home to the Chiefs, Kelce failed to get close to Swift and expressed his disappointment.\n\n\n\n“She doesn’t meet anybody, or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal,” he quipped. The podcast asked on Instagram: “Anyone know how to get a bracelet to @taylorswift13? … asking for a friend.”\n\n\n\nBy September 2023, Kelce was hinting his efforts had achieved some success, but declined to elaborate amid speculation and as reports surfaced that the two had been “quietly hanging out.” Then, Kelce revealed on a sports talk show that he’d invited Swift to a game at Arrowhead. “I threw the ball in her court,” he said.\n\n\n\nDays later, Swift took him up on his offer and attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game seated alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, in a moment that effectively confirmed the growing connection. The two left the stadium together in Kelce’s purple Chevelle. Her appearance, the first of many, sent NFL viewership and Kelce jersey sales surging.\n\n\n\n\n\nIn October 2023, Swift and Kelce were spotted together multiple times in New York City, including intimate dinners and a surprise “Saturday Night Live” cameo. Their comfort level in public increased and the pair was photographed leaving after‑parties hand‑in‑hand, signaling that the relationship was getting serious.\n\n\n\nKelce, meanwhile, traveled internationally during the NFL bye week in November to attend Swift’s Eras Tour stop in Argentina, where she changed a lyric in “Karma” to reference him. “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me,” she sang.\n\n\n\nThe relationship continued into 2024, with Swift attending playoff games, including the AFC Championship Game, where she joined Kelce on the field after the Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens to advance to the Super Bowl. The couple kissed, and in a viral moment heard around the world, Kelce tells Swift, “I love you. So much it’s not funny.”\n\n\n\nWeeks later, Swift raced across nine time zones after performing in Tokyo to attend the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win against the San Francisco 49ers. The “Love Story” singer again kissed Kelce on the field, making it clear they were not shying away from public displays of affection.\n\n\n\n\n\nThroughout spring and summer 2024, the couple balanced Swift’s touring schedule and Kelce’s offseason commitments, appearing together at charity events, concerts and family gatherings. Kelce even made his Eras stage debut at one of London concerts, donning a tuxedo and top hat and carrying Swift in his arms during a choreographed bit before “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”\n\n\n\nThe two began showing very public support and admiration for one another, with Kelce calling her “unbelievable” on his “New Heights” podcast, and Swift shouting out Kelce as she accepted an MTV Video Music Award.  \n\n\n\n“Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic,” she said.\n\n\n\nWhen Swift announced her highly anticipated 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” she did it on Kelce’s podcast, her first-ever podcast appearance. She also credited “New Heights” for getting her a boyfriend.\n\n\n\n\n\nKelce, in return, credited the Eras Tour for getting him a girlfriend. “I see you on that stage and see how you can get an entire stadium going, and then I get you in a room and it’s like I’ve known you forever,” he said. “It’s the easiest conversation I ever had, and it was just so much fun that it knocked my socks off.”\n\n\n\nIn August 2025, after two years of dating, Swift and Kelce announced their engagement in a five-photo carousel post on their Instagram accounts.  Kelce proposed in a floral‑filled garden of his home in Lee’s Summit, Missouri.\n\n\n\n“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the post was captioned.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/chiefs-wife-wins-chanel-purse-taylor-swift-travis-kelce-wedding/4045812/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Julia Elbaba","publishDate":"2026-07-07T11:14:10.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fimage-57-1.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3000%2C1692","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"chiefs-wife-wins-6700-chanel-purse-at-taylor-swift-and-travis-kelces-wedding"},{"id":"s6s10j","title":"Texas AG Paxton investigates StubHub over World Cup ticket complaints","excerpt":"The dream of going to a FIFA World Cup match is one many soccer fans can relate to, but for some fans, it’s not going as they imagined.\n\n\n\nFans are buying tickets on the StubHub website, but they’re not always delivered on time or matched to what was purchased.\n\n\n\nTexas Attorney General Ken Paxto...","content":"The dream of going to a FIFA World Cup match is one many soccer fans can relate to, but for some fans, it’s not going as they imagined.\n\n\n\nFans are buying tickets on the StubHub website, but they’re not always delivered on time or matched to what was purchased.\n\n\n\nTexas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced an investigation into StubHub over issues with World Cup ticket purchases.\n\n\n\n StubHub has blamed the cancellations on “transfer problems” tied to FIFA’s ticketing platform.\n\n\n\nPaxton claims consumer complaints point to a broader pattern often called “ghost ticketing,” in which sellers list tickets they do not actually possess, collect payment, and then cancel when they cannot deliver.\n\n\n\n“In many cases, attending a World Cup match is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If StubHub is ghost ticketing Texans out of that experience, my office will use every tool available to hold them accountable and help fans who have been wronged,” said Paxton.\n\n\n\nTexans who purchased World Cup tickets through StubHub and did not receive them, or received tickets significantly inferior to what they paid for, are encouraged to file a complaint with the Office of the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division.\n\n\n\nNBC 5’s sister station, Telemundo 39, spoke with a California viewer about a similar ordeal. Edgar Correa’s wife wanted to make his World Cup dream a reality.\n\n\n\n“So then she bought them and told me, ‘Hey, you won’t believe it. I’ve got World Cup tickets,’ and I was like, ‘That’s awesome,’” said Edgar Correa, who never received the World Cup tickets bought through StubHub.\n\n\n\nThe tickets were for the Bosnia-Switzerland match at Los Angeles Stadium on June 18; they bought the tickets on June 11. Plans were in place.\n\n\n\n“I’d already requested the day off work, we’d already booked a hotel, we’d already paid for parking. I mean, we had a lot of things planned,” Correa said.\n\n\n\nThe Correas paid $941.05 for two tickets in Section 311, Row 15. But as the day got closer and they still didn’t have the tickets, worry started to set in.\n\n\n\n“According to this, the seller has until one hour before the event to send the tickets,” Correa said.\n\n\n\nAfter several calls and messages with StubHub, the Correas received this message informing them: “Unfortunately, your order was not processed. This means the transaction was not completed and, therefore, no tickets were reserved for you,” Correa said. “It makes you angry because you spend a lot … time, money, and so many things to be there and then they just tell you, ‘No,’ not even, ‘Sorry.’”\n\n\n\nWhen we contacted StubHub about Correa’s specific ticket case, they told us they understand that attending the World Cup represents a considerable investment of time and money and that they take that responsibility to every fan very seriously. They added that a refund is being processed in accordance with their “fanprotect” guarantee, and that their customer service team is also offering the customer a credit for what happened.\n\n\n\nThey also explained that “the issues fans have experienced at this World Cup are largely due to performance failures in the event organizer’s own ticketing infrastructure, which has caused transfer errors across all resale platforms.”\n\n\n\nIn response, a FIFA spokesperson explained in a statement: “The official FIFA ticketing platform for the FIFA World Cup 2026 operates reliably and at scale, as demonstrated by the more than 4.6 million spectators who have attended matches to date, with tickets purchased, delivered, resold, transferred, and successfully validated through FIFA systems.”\n\n\n\n“FIFA rejects any suggestion that the functional problems experienced by users of third-party platforms in relation to tickets for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ are the result of FIFA’s ticketing infrastructure.”\n\n\n\nBut despite the situation, Edgar made his dream come true.\n\n\n\n“I started looking on FIFA, and by chance I found two tickets, and on top of that they cost me more, and I ended up way at the very top,” Correa said.\n\n\n\nAnd he says the situation taught him a lesson.\n\n\n\n“Like FIFA said, look on our website,” Correa said.\n\n\n\nThe FAQ section on FIFA’s website states that for any ticket sold through another platform, buyers must contact that platform directly, since FIFA cannot access or manage those tickets. It also recommends buying tickets only through FIFA’s official site.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tWorld Cup\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNBC 5 Responds\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 1\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCustomer says StubHub seating map didn't match the tickets he received\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNBC 5 Responds\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 22\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTicket trouble resolved for young North Texas soccer fan","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/nbc-5-responds/fans-claim-world-cup-tickets-are-not-what-they-paid-for-ken-paxton-launches-investigation/4044561/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Olivia Martinez","publishDate":"2026-07-03T11:45:56.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FWorld-Cup-tickets-.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"texas-ag-paxton-investigates-stubhub-over-world-cup-ticket-complaints"},{"id":"b70q10","title":"Mistrial declared in Johnson Co.

That decision will come “at an appropriate time,” it said.\n\n\n\nThe next Olympic competition is the 2026 Youth Summer Games in Dakar, Senegal opening Oct. 31.\n\n\n\nThe IOC said to “address the lack of confidence in the global sporting community relating to the return of Russian athletes to international competition,” those athletes must give multiple doping controls and be part of a recognized testing program.\n\n\n\nThe IOC said it will continue to “not organize IOC events in Russia or invite Russian government or state officials to its events.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/olympics/2028-los-angeles/ioc-ending-neutral-status-vetting-russian-athletes-ahead-2028-la-olympics/4045810/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-07T10:41:01.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-467619377.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4014%2C2676","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"ioc-ending-neutral-status-vetting-for-russian-athletes-ahead-of-2028-la-olympics"},{"id":"dmi6yu","title":"World Cup Round of 16 coming to Dallas Stadium Monday, with USMNT playing after","excerpt":"Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal are coming to Dallas Stadium on Monday to take on European champions Spain.

Ronaldo scored a penalty kick, was subbed off, and then his team was able to find a winner. It was Ronaldo’s first World Cup knockout-round goal. The game seemed destined for extra time with a 103rd-minute equalizer, but the goal was overturned due to offside.\n\n\n\n\n\nSpain dominated Austria 3-0 in Atlanta. They’re led by teenage superstar Lamine Yamal. \n\n\n\nSoccer Football – FIFA World Cup 2026 – Round of 32 – Spain v Austria – Los Angeles Stadium, Inglewood, California, U.S. – July 2, 2026 Spain’s Lamine Yamal during the match IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters/Jessie Alcheh\n\n\n\nPortugal and Spain have played in two of the previous three World Cups. They first met in the Round of 16 in South Africa in 2010; Spain would go on to win the game and the tournament.\n\n\n\nThe 2018 matchup in Sochi, Russia, included a Ronaldo hat-trick. The game ended in a draw.\n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s the first of the final 2 games for Dallas Stadium, which also hosts the July 14 Semifinal.\n\n\n\nThe late game is the USMNT versus Belgium in Seattle. The USMNT is coming off a nail-biting 10-man win over Bosnia after striker Falorin Balogun was sent off with a second-half red card. Belgium was in an even more difficult spot, down 2-0 in the 85th minute against Senegal. They won 3-2 in extra time.\n\n\n\nThe teams are somewhat familiar with each other. Belgium dominated the U.S. in a March friendly in Atlanta 5-2. Little Elm’s Weston McKennie opened the scoring, but Belgium scored 4 in the second half. They also played in the 2014 World Cup. Belgium won 2-1 despite a record-breaking performance by Tim Howard; it’s a heartbreaking loss many USMNT fans are looking to purge from their memory with a win on Monday.\n\n\n\nThe teams have met five other times in World Cups. The USMNT beat Belgium in the inaugural tournament in 1930; Belgium has won the other four meetings.\n\n\n\nThe winners of Monday’s games will play Friday at 2 p.m. in Los Angeles.

He said there was a shortage of evidence to support the claims and found there was a possibility that the news stories came from legitimate sources.\n\n\n\n“In substance, the claimants’ case invites the Court to conclude that, because the information was private and because Associated cannot positively explain how it was sourced, the article must have been unlawfully sourced,” Nicklin wrote. “That is not a permissible approach.”\n\n\n\nThe ruling scuttles a bid by Harry and six others, including singer Elton John and actor-model Elizabeth Hurley, which sought substantial damages but could leave them with a large lawyers’ bill. Legal costs were estimated at about 40 million pounds ($53.5 million) for years of case preparation and an 11-week trial.\n\n\n\nThe publisher called it an “overwhelming victory” and a “magnificent vindication” of the Mail’s journalism.\n\n\n\n“The reputations of our decent and hard-working journalists were terribly impugned, and today they have been exonerated,” Associated said in a statement.\n\n\n\nThe newspapers had denied the allegations as “preposterous,” insisting the roughly 50 articles at issue were based on lawful sources including friends, royal aides and publicists who offered information to reporters.\n\n\n\nThe 436-page decision leaves a mixed legacy for Harry’s trio of lawsuits accusing tabloid publishers of using unlawful tactics, such as phone hacking, or hiring private detectives to dig up dirt to snoop on his life.\n\n\n\nHarry won a judgment in 2023 that condemned the publishers of the Daily Mirror for “widespread and habitual” phone hacking. Last year, Rupert Murdoch’s flagship U.K. tabloid, The Sun, made an unprecedented apology for intruding on his life for years, and agreed to pay substantial damages to settle his privacy invasion lawsuit.\n\n\n\nMark Stephens, a media lawyer not involved in the case, said Harry’s first significant loss was due to a lack of evidence such as admissions of culpability that he had in previous lawsuits.\n\n\n\n“This was always a mosaic case where little inferences from different things were being put together by the lawyers for Prince Harry,” Stephens said. “Associated newspapers’ lawyers cleverly rearranged the tiles to show an innocent picture as opposed to the culpable picture that the claimants’ lawyers were trying to demonstrate.”\n\n\n\nThe verdict, released remotely with no court hearing, coincided with Harry’s visit home to the U.K., which has been dominated by headlines over his latest efforts to repair a rift with his father, King Charles III.\n\n\n\nHarry has said his litigation — in which he broke with royal family tradition to seek relief in the courts — was a primary source of his falling out with his father and brother, Prince William.\n\n\n\nHis grudge with the press runs deep. He blames it for the death of his mother, Princess Diana, who was killed in a car crash in 1997 while being pursued by paparazzi in Paris, and for attacks on his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, that led the couple to abandon royal life and move to the United States in 2020.\n\n\n\n“They continue to come after me, they have made my wife’s life an absolute misery,” he testified as he choked back tears in the witness box during the trial in January.\n\n\n\nAttorney David Sherborne said the Daily Mail and its sister publication, Mail on Sunday, used its journalists, freelance reporters and private eyes for “clear, systematic and sustained use of unlawful information gathering” to snoop on his clients.\n\n\n\nDefense lawyer Antony White said the case relied on conjecture and inferences when the more likely source of information was “ordinary, legitimate journalism.” He said Harry was “inclined to see unlawful evidence gathering, in particular voicemail interception, everywhere.”\n\n\n\nOther claimants in the case were actor Sadie Frost, anti‑racism activist Doreen Lawrence, former politician Simon Hughes and John’s husband, David Furnish.\n\n\n\nThe Mail trial played out differently than the Mirror case, with many more journalists defending their work in court. Some Mail reporters pointed to official mouthpieces, such as a palace spokesperson, and others named their sources to dispute Harry’s assertion that his “social circles were not leaky.”\n\n\n\n“They were not all tight-lipped,” Katie Nicholl, a former Mail on Sunday editor, said about Harry’s associates. “I had very good sources in the inner circle.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/prince-harry-privacy-invasion-lawsuit-uk-publisher-dismissed/4045737/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Brian Melley | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-07T09:13:21.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FPrince-Harry-Duke-Of-Sussex-Visits-Kyiv-Security-F-2272783917-Getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3744%2C2496","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"judge-dismisses-prince-harrys-privacy-invasion-lawsuit-against-uk-publisher"},{"id":"57d2ii","title":"Maradona's ‘Hand of God' ball heads to auction in Dallas","excerpt":"The match ball from Argentina’s 1986 World Cup quarterfinal against England – better known as the ‘Hand of God’ ball, thanks to Diego Maradona’s famous goal – is set to go up for auction.

Four minutes later, Maradona struck again. The Argentinian took 11 seconds and 11 touches to pass six English defenders and score what was later voted the “Goal of the Century.” The game ended 2-1.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe goal should not have stood, but no VAR meant no replay to overturn the call.\n\n\n\nThe game referee kept the ball in Tunisia for more than three decades. \n\n\n\nThis comes ahead of England’s return to the Azteca for the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 16 against Mexico Sunday at 7 p.m. North Texas will likely be rocking from Sunday night right into the US Men’s National Team game against Belgium on Monday at 7 p.m. The winners of those games are headed to this year’s quarterfinals. \n\n\n\nMexico has never lost a World Cup game at the Azteca (7-3-0) and has only lost twice there in its history (70-17-2). England is 2-0 against Mexico in World Cup games, including on the way to their only World Cup title.

We’re excited to see him lead Dallas Trinity into its next chapter.”\n\n\n\nBefore entering coaching, Nguyen enjoyed one of the most accomplished playing careers of any American midfielder of his generation. Across 17 professional seasons, he competed in the Netherlands, Denmark, Vietnam and Major League Soccer, where he made more than 250 appearances with the New England Revolution, LAFC and Inter Miami CF.\n\n\n\nA finalist for the 2014 MLS Most Valuable Player Award and an MLS Best XI selection, Nguyen helped lead the Revolution to the MLS Cup Final before later winning the 2019 Supporters’ Shield with LAFC. He also earned nine appearances with the United States Men’s National Team.\n\n\n\nBorn in Richardson and raised in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Nguyen played youth soccer for the Dallas Texans before starring at Plano East Senior High School and Indiana University. A dual U.S.-Vietnamese citizen, he also became the first American player to compete in Vietnam’s top professional league, adding another unique chapter to a career that has connected soccer communities across the globe.\n\n\n\nNguyen’s return to North Texas also represents a full-circle moment. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he returned home and helped coach girls’ teams for the Dallas Texans, an experience that sparked his transition from an accomplished playing career into coaching. He now returns to lead Dallas Trinity FC into its next era.\n\n\n\n“Coming home to North Texas to lead Dallas Trinity FC is an incredible opportunity,” said Nguyen. “This club has already established a strong foundation, and I’m excited to work with our players, staff and supporters as we continue building something special. Dallas has always been part of who I am, and it’s an honor to help shape the future of this club and continue growing the women’s game in this community.”\n\n\n\nThe club also announced that First Team Manager Nathan Thackeray and Technical Director Chris Petrucelli have departed.\n\n\n\n“I want to thank Dallas Trinity for the opportunity to lead this remarkable group of players and staff, as well as the fans for all their support,” said former Dallas Trinity FC First Team Manager Nathan Thackeray. “I am incredibly proud of what we accomplished together and excited for the future of the club. While I’m disappointed not to be returning next season, I wish everyone associated with Dallas Trinity nothing but success.”\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/richardson-native-mls-standout-becomes-dallas-trinity-fc-manager/4044498/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-07-03T07:48:37.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-1396594288.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4800%2C3201","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"richardson-native-mls-standout-becomes-dallas-trinity-fc-manager"},{"id":"wwlawt","title":"Why the Republican Party is bringing its first midterm convention to Dallas","excerpt":"Thousands of Republican Party members will visit Dallas this September 9th and 10th at the American Airlines Center, the first-ever midterm national convention.\n\n\n\nNBC 5’s Phil Prazan spoke to the Republican National Committee Chair, Joe Gruters, about the decision. \n\n\n\nPresident Donald Trump is ...","content":"Thousands of Republican Party members will visit Dallas this September 9th and 10th at the American Airlines Center, the first-ever midterm national convention.\n\n\n\nNBC 5’s Phil Prazan spoke to the Republican National Committee Chair, Joe Gruters, about the decision. \n\n\n\nPresident Donald Trump is facing his worst poll numbers ever, and the President’s party typically loses in the midterms.\n\n\n\nGOP leaders are betting on Dallas to turn around their fortunes.\n\n\n\n“The president loves Dallas, and, you know, Texas is a perfect spot to host something that’s never been, never has happened before. We’re excited about it. We got three competitive congressional districts. We have a Senate district we’re watching,” Gruters said.\n\n\n\nGruters says there will be no official party business at the convention; instead, he’s aiming for a pep rally to get Republican voters excited about November elections.\n\n\n\nSources tell NBC 5 the focus is fundraising now that parties can officially coordinate with candidates, specifically Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s race against State Representative James Talarico (D).\n\n\n\n“We’ll do whatever is needed to make sure Ken Paxton is gonna get over the finish line as a winner. But in our books, and if you look at my board in terms of the competitive races, we think Ken Paxton’s an easy winner. But just like any races, we always watch out and see how they’re doing and the direction they’re going,” Gruters said.\n\n\n\nThe Democrats are planning counter-programming.\n\n\n\n“I don’t get nervous when the circus comes to town because I’m not afraid of clowns. I mean, of course they pick Texas. Of course they picked Dallas. I love hanging out in Dallas. That’s why I live here,” Texas Democratic Party Chair Kendall Scudder said. \n\n\n\nDemocrats are hoping to flip Texas blue for the first time in decades.\n\n\n\n“I mean there’s a lot of battlegrounds all across the country right now. Their internal polling must be telling them that they have something to be afraid of here in Texas,” Scudder said.\n\n\n\nThe election is November 3. Texans will vote for U.S. Senate, Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General and many of the statewide positions.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/politics/why-the-republican-party-is-bringing-its-first-midterm-convention-to-dallas/4044489/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Phil Prazan","publishDate":"2026-07-03T07:08:45.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2020%2F09%2FAmerican-Airlines-Center.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"why-the-republican-party-is-bringing-its-first-midterm-convention-to-dallas"},{"id":"njaife","title":"Dallas Mavericks announce Chase Bank is official jersey patch partner","excerpt":"The Dallas Mavericks announced that Chase Bank will be the official jersey patch partner.

The Tigers arrived at Globe Life Field after sweeping three games at Yankee Stadium.\n\n\n\nEovaldi (9-7) allowed only one walk through four innings and matched a season high with nine strikeouts in winning his fourth consecutive start, pitching five-plus innings. Detroit’s Colt Keith led off the fifth by homering on an 0-2 cut fastball above the strike zone. Hao-Yu Lee added a two-run homer that barely cleared the wall in left, just beyond Alejandro Osuna’s reach.\n\n\n\nEovaldi allowed five hits in the fifth inning and was pulled leading 5-3 after Riley Greene led off the sixth with a double. Peyton Gray, Texas’ third pitcher in the sixth, struck out Lee with the bases loaded to end the inning.\n\n\n\nDíaz’s home run came in Texas’ three-run second inning, his second in two games.\n\n\n\nSmith, recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday after previously missing 37 games primarily due to viral meningitis, hammered a first-pitch fastball for his first homer of the season and his first career pinch-hit homer in the sixth.\n\n\n\nCarter, activated from the injured list on Sunday, homered in the eighth.\n\n\n\nOsuna and Nicky Lopez each had three hits.\n\n\n\nFramber Valdez (4-6) allowed five runs on nine hits and two walks in five innings. That ended Detroit’s club-record 35-game streak of starting pitchers allowing no more than four runs.\n\n\n\nUp next\n\n\n\nThe series will take a break on Friday with a World Cup game between Australia and Egypt at the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium. On Saturday, Tigers RHP Jack Flaherty (1-8, 4.97 ERA) was scheduled to face Rangers RHP Kumar Rocker (2-6, 3.83).","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/red-fever/eovaldi-takes-a-no-hitter-into-the-5th-inning-in-the-rangers-10-4-win-over-the-tigers/4044458/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-03T06:18:10.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2023%2F05%2FAP23138013818319.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3810%2C2540","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"eovaldi-takes-a-no-hitter-into-the-5th-in-the-rangers-10-4-win-over-the-tigers"},{"id":"buf12t","title":"Texas gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa proposes $1,500 refund for Texans","excerpt":"Texas gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa is proposing $1,500 payments to Texans, saying the money should come from the state's multibillion-dollar surplus instead of remaining in reserve.","content":"Texas gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa is proposing $1,500 payments to Texans, saying the money should come from the state's multibillion-dollar surplus instead of remaining in reserve.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/texas-gubernatorial-candidate-gina-hinojosa-proposes-1500-refund-texans","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Joseph.Rowe@fox.com (Joseph Rowe)","publishDate":"2026-07-08T00:39:17.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox7austin.com%2Fwww.fox7austin.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F10%2Fg3tukl8xsaa0pnv.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"texas-gubernatorial-candidate-gina-hinojosa-proposes-1500-refund-for-texans"},{"id":"mql3g8","title":"Midtown building remains unstable as buckled columns keep moving;

Aside from that emergency shoring, there will need to be additional stabilization work done throughout the evening and in the coming days.\n\n\n\nA city official said safety inspections would allow the residents of 222 East 44th Street to return home around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. The green light was given as officials continue evaluating additional nearby structures surrounding the unstable structure. \n\n\n\nStill, the majority of nearby buildings and streets remain empty, including a school, diplomatic offices and several hotels. Mamdani had announced a so-called “frozen zone” around the building for vehicles and pedestrians. He said 40th to 45th streets is closed from First to Third avenues. It wasn’t clear when the entire area might reopen or when evacuees might return to their homes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith more than 1,600 units, the developers say the project is the largest office-to-residential conversion in the city’s history. Gensler, the architectural firm leading the project, says on its website that it is transforming a pair of 1970s-era office buildings by adding more than a dozen stories and redesigning an adjoining tower.\n\n\n\nBuildings department records show the project has been fined by the city for several safety violations, including glass and metal falling off the building, along with an incident where a worker fell off a ladder.\n\n\n\nMetroLoft, the project developer, stressed that the building itself is not at risk of collapse and that no debris fell from the building. \n\n\n\nFire officials said two columns appear to have buckled and there were multiple cracks and sagging floors between the 21st and 26th floors. From the street below, a badly bent column could be seen through a large glass window. The fire department also posted images of the column.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe building commissioner said workers will need to add emergency beams and columns to stabilize the compromised ones.\n\n\n\n“Our top priority right now,” the mayor said Tuesday morning, “is the safety of those who live in this area and the safety of those who work in this area.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRaw footage from inside, taken by a construction worker, showed crumbling steel beams on the 21st floor.\n\n\n\nEd Miller, an area resident, said he walks under the building’s scaffolding several times a day, but will find other routes home going forward.\n\n\n\n“The building was pretty old,” said Miles Grant, who used to work at the building. “It definitely needed a lot of work to become ready for residential.”\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tMore news\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBritish Royal Family\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t24 hours ago\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJudge dismisses Prince Harry's privacy invasion lawsuit against U.K. publisher\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 7\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKylian Mbappé fires back at Paraguayan senator over racist remarks: ‘Despicable woman'\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRecalls\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 6\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPopular high-end shampoo sold at retailers and salons nationwide recalled for bacteria\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\tThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/fdny-responds-to-report-of-buckling-building-in-manhattan/4045759/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Brian Price, Jennifer Millman and The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-07T07:40:25.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26188709416507.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1024%2C682","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"buckling-beams-at-new-york-city-high-rise-under-construction-trigger-evacuations"},{"id":"ibk7u","title":"Half Price Books summer reading camp","excerpt":"Half Price Books is offering its annual free summer reading camp that the whole family can enjoy.\n\n\n\n“The program is recommended for readers up to age 14, and kids can earn Bookworm Bucks through the end of July.

Racicot said she had been in an on-and-off relationship with Platner, but she cut off contact with him after that night and told him the incident wasn’t consensual.\n\n\n\nPlatner denied the allegation, but said he would be considering next steps for his campaign.\n\n\n\nOn Tuesday afternoon, The Washington Post published a new accusation from Lyndsey Fifield, a former girlfriend who’s previously alleged misconduct from Platner, in which she said he had surreptitiously and consensually removed protection while they were having sex.   \n\n\n\nPlatner’s campaign denied the allegation, which the newspaper confirmed that Fifield had told a friend about at the time. Fifield initially told the Post about the alleged condom removal off the record for an earlier report, but decided to speak out about it now in part to show that Racicot was not alone in her experience, according to the report.\n\n\n\nVermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, one of Platner’s earliest and most fervent backers, issued a statement shortly after noon Tuesday calling on Platner to bow out of the race.\n\n\n\n“I have spoken with Graham Platner about the best path forward for Maine. In light of these very serious allegations, I have recommended that he step aside,” Sanders said.\n\n\n\nMassachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who had campaigned with Platner and supported his bid, was among those who issued statements Monday calling on him to drop out of the race.\n\n\n\n“Now more than ever we need leaders in Washington who reflect our values. There can be no tolerance for sexual assault,” Warren said. “Working families are counting on Democrats to win the Senate election in Maine to unrig our economy and hold Donald Trump accountable. With so much at stake, the best path forward is for Graham Platner to step aside as the Democratic nominee and address these serious allegations outside this Senate race.”\n\n\n\n\n\nMassachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, who had said she would back Platner in a November general election against Republican Sen. Susan Collins, changed her mind after watching Racicot’s CNN interview on Monday night.\n\n\n\n“Graham Platner should get out of this race now. He should have already,” she said.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMassachusetts Sen. Ed Markey offered similar thoughts in a social media post, saying “The allegations reported against Graham Platner are deeply disturbing and must be taken seriously. I cannot support his candidacy.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMassachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton, who is running against Markey for Senate, also called on Platner to drop out.\n\n\n\n“Jenny Racicot chose truth over political convenience, despite deeply believing in the progressive goals Graham Platner espoused,” he said. “Her account must be believed and respected, and we must honor her courage.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“It is so important to listen to, and believe survivors,” Massachusetts Congresswoman Tram Nguyen said. “If we are to be the party that supports those who come forward and call for accountability, it must be for both Republicans and Democrats. I cannot support any candidate with such allegations against them and call for Platner to drop out immediately.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew Hampshire Congressman and Senate candidate Chris Pappas called the allegations against Platner “reprehensible,” and said he must step aside.\n\n\n\nNew Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen also weighed in, saying Platner “must end his campaign immediately.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRhode Island Congressman Seth Magaziner called the allegations “credible and appalling,” and said Platner should withdraw and the Maine Democratic Party should nominate a candidate “who is vetted and experienced to represent Maine in the Senate.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFellow Rhode Island Congressman Gabe Amo said Platner “must immediately withdraw as a candidate for the U.S. Senate in Maine” in light of the latest allegations.\n\n\n\nRhode Island Gov. Dan McKee’s campaign team also put out a statement calling the allegations against Platner “deeply disturbing,” and calling on Platner to step down.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConnecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal called the sexual assault allegation “serious, credible, and disqualifying.” He said Platner should “withdraw immediately. The sooner, the better,” and added that there is “no way he can continue his candidacy credibly.”\n\n\n\nConnecticut Gov. Ned Lamont agreed, saying he thinks Platner should “step aside.”\n\n\n\nHannah Pingree, the Democratic nominee for Maine governor, also weighed in.\n\n\n\n“For Maine, for the future of control of the US Senate, and because no party should stand behind a candidate facing allegations of assault, Graham Platner should exit the race immediately,” she said. “Democrats need a nominee who can beat Susan Collins in November. Graham Platner is no longer that candidate.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCollins issued only a brief statement.\n\n\n\n“These allegations are appalling,” she said. “Nevertheless, it is not up to me to choose the Democratic nominee for Senate.”\n\n\n\nState law allows Platner to be replaced on the ballot if he withdraws by July 13. The replacement candidate must be named by July 27. \n\n\n\nAs of Monday, Platner had canceled a handful of campaign town halls planned in Maine but he was said to still be undecided on Tuesday morning about whether to drop out of the race.\n\n\n\nChatter has already begun to circulate about other possible replacements, including former state senator and logger Troy Jackson and Secretary of State Shenna Bellows.\n\n\n\nThe Associated Press contributed to this report.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tMore stories about Graham Platner\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaine\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 6\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaine Senate candidate Graham Platner faces new sexual assault allegation: reports\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\tThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/mass-dems-call-for-graham-platner-to-drop-out-after-jenny-racicot-politico-report/4046011/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Monica Madeja and Marc Fortier","publishDate":"2026-07-07T07:23:20.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2280206540-1.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1440%2C810","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"sanders-warren-call-for-platner-to-drop-out-of-maine-senate-race-after-latest-allegation"},{"id":"e6wjs4","title":"WATCH: Forney officer, Kaufman County deputy narrow escape after driver hits parked patrol car","excerpt":"A Kaufman County Sheriff’s deputy and a Forney police officer narrowly escaped injury early Sunday morning after a passing vehicle struck a parked patrol car on the freeway, prompting authorities to issue a stark safety reminder to motorists.","content":"A Kaufman County Sheriff’s deputy and a Forney police officer narrowly escaped injury early Sunday morning after a passing vehicle struck a parked patrol car on the freeway, prompting authorities to issue a stark safety reminder to motorists.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/watch-forney-officer-kaufman-county-deputy-narrow-escape-after-driver-hits-parked-patrol-car","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Amber.Kite@fox.com (Amber Kite)","publishDate":"2026-07-07T17:18:06.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fvehicle-slams-into-parked-police-cruiser-in-forney-missing-first-responders-by-feet.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"watch-forney-officer-kaufman-county-deputy-narrow-escape-after-driver-hits-parked-patrol-car"},{"id":"dtqoch","title":"Kylian Mbappé fires back at Paraguayan senator over racist remarks: ‘Despicable woman'","excerpt":"France star Kylian Mbappé on Monday condemned a Paraguayan senator over racist remarks she made following Paraguay’s loss to France in the round of 16 at the World Cup.\n\n\n\nMbappé called Celeste Amarilla, a senator from Paraguay’s Liberal Radical Party, a “despicable woman” who was “unworthy” of s...","content":"France star Kylian Mbappé on Monday condemned a Paraguayan senator over racist remarks she made following Paraguay’s loss to France in the round of 16 at the World Cup.\n\n\n\nMbappé called Celeste Amarilla, a senator from Paraguay’s Liberal Radical Party, a “despicable woman” who was “unworthy” of serving in Paraguay’s Congress.\n\n\n\n“Through your recklessness and your brazen racism, the entire world has already forgotten the journey and the historic effort that your players accomplished during this World Cup,” Mbappé wrote on X.\n\n\n\nAmarilla posted a series of racist comments on X after Mbappé converted the winning penalty in France’s victory over Paraguay on Saturday, mocking the French captain’s origins, upbringing, education and appearance. France advanced to the quarterfinals, where it will face Morocco on Thursday.\n\n\n\nLate Monday, Amarilla issued an open letter in French and Spanish to Mbappé on social media, in which she said her problem was with the player, not the country of France. She wrote that she regretted mistreating Mbappé with “the same insults” she’s received as a mixed-race person and that she had deleted her post.\n\n\n\nBut she also demanded an apology from Mbappé, accusing him of gender-based violence in his comments about her, and threatening legal action if he didn’t retract them.\n\n\n\nThe Associated Press emailed France’s team media officers for comment on Amarilla’s letter.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Paraguayan government released a statement Monday afternoon condemning Amarilla’s remarks as “contrary to the values and principles that inspire peaceful coexistence and respect for human dignity that our country promotes.” It added that the senator’s comments do not represent either the Paraguayan government or the Paraguayan people.\n\n\n\nThe French Football Federation on Monday denounced Amarilla’s comments as “utterly abhorrent” and “unacceptable,” adding that it would refer the matter to prosecutors.\n\n\n\nFrance’s president, Emmanuel Macron, and sports minister Marina Ferrari voiced support for the national team’s captain.\n\n\n\n“By targeting Kylian Mbappé, the senator is attacking everything our captain embodies and everything our country stands for: liberty, equality and fraternity,” Ferrari wrote on X.\n\n\n\n“One more goal for Kylian Mbappé. This time against racism,” Macron wrote on X, adding the captain had his “full support.”\n\n\n\n\n\nFrance’s assistant coach Guy Stéphan also condemned the remarks on Monday.\n\n\n\n“In three words, it’s indignant, abject, scandalous,” he said.\n\n\n\nBefore Saturday’s match, former Paraguay goalkeeper José Luis Chilavert referred to France as “a squad from Africa.” Philippe Diallo, president of the FFF, said Chilavert “was once a great goalkeeper” who had now “fallen into disgrace.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/kylian-mbappe-paraguay-senator-racist-remarks/4045700/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-07T06:53:56.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FUSATSI_29336531.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4557%2C3038","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"kylian-mbapp-fires-back-at-paraguayan-senator-over-racist-remarks-despicable-woman"},{"id":"1rjjz5","title":"The benefits of “repeat reading”","excerpt":"Does your child like to read the same book over and over again?

Reading a story over again could also help reduce the stress a child might feel reading a new book every time, which may help them focus on more of the meaning of the story instead of trying to figure out a new plot every time.\n\n\n\nThey also report it helps to strengthen confidence since they are working with familiar text.\n\n\n\nWhile sometimes a child may want to read a book over and over because they just know what’s coming next, for many, it’s an opportunity to get a deeper understanding of the story and how it was put together.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/about-nbc-5/community/reading-with-you/the-benefits-of-repeat-reading/4044413/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Laura Harris","publishDate":"2026-07-03T05:10:34.000Z","category":"library","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2025%2F03%2Fbooks.png%3Ffit%3D624%2C349%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"the-benefits-of-repeat-reading"},{"id":"u0byp6","title":"Former Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD teacher facing new criminal charges","excerpt":"Former Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD middle school teacher Haley Radabaugh faces new charges for allegedly having an improper relationship with a student.

The decision drew the team into a geopolitical storm after both FIFA president Gianni Infantino and President Trump acknowledged that Trump had called soccer’s global leader to inquire about the red card Balogun had been given July 1 against Bosnia and Herzegovina.\n\n\n\nYet once Monday’s game at last kicked off, all U.S. influence waned during a 4-1 loss. Balogun went from main character to non-factor as a World Cup run that was at times galvanizing and inspiring ended in a familiar place — short of true contention.\n\n\n\n“Today, we were not the same team in the tournament that showed our quality,” coach Mauricio Pochettino said.\n\n\n\nIn Seattle, Belgium was technically sharper from the start, its passes crisper, its defense a wall where the U.S.’s was constantly undermined by its own mistakes. Belgium made the U.S. look more disheveled than it had at any point in the tournament, with multiple errors and questionable decisions leading to Belgian goals.\n\n\n\nWhy had the U.S. come out flat?\n\n\n\n“It’s a great question,” defender Tyler Adams said. “Wish I had the answer right now.”\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 6\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUSA out of World Cup after 4-1 loss to Belgium in Round of 16\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWorld Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 7\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAfter controversial ban lift, Balogun had little impact in U.S. World Cup loss\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nThat quality the U.S. had showed in its first four matches prior to Monday seemed to be a step forward for the U.S. men’s national team, which has never advanced past the quarterfinals in modern history. The stylish play introduced by Pochettino, its Argentinian coach, led to more goals through the group stage alone than the U.S. had ever scored in a single World Cup, and anticipation grew that this could be the year the U.S. men became a factor.\n\n\n\nFive days earlier, a record 36 million people tuned in to watch the team’s round-of-32 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina that was capped by scenes of Pochettino smiling as he sang “Country Roads,” the team’s adopted anthem, on the field after the U.S. had won its first knockout game at a World Cup since 2002. \n\n\n\nOn Monday, the mood had turned. After the U.S. scored on a stirring free kick by Malik Tillman in the 31st minute, only to concede a goal within a minute to fall behind 2-1, Pochettino kicked a water-bottle carrier on the sideline in frustration and banged the top of the dugout with his fist. At the final whistle stars Christian Pulisic, who had twisted an ankle, and Balogun stayed in the dugout, pulling their jerseys over their mouths to rue a missed opportunity.\n\n\n\nFrom Pochettino to his players, the U.S. was adamant that the storm around Balogun’s saga — with Belgium lodging a complaint that FIFA later dismissed, and multiple nations complaining of overreach — had not affected its focus or performance. Neither had it been a distraction for Belgium, forward Dodi Lukébakio said.\n\n\n\n\n\n“At the end we are players, we have to answer on the pitch,” he said. “And that’s what we did today.”\n\n\n\nPochettino made the case that the tournament marked a sizable turnaround from one year earlier, when the national team was a self-described “mess” after the Gold Cup. He added that progress is not always linear.\n\n\n\n“I am so proud because in one year … this team show that we can play football, we can play soccer, we can compete,” Pochettino said, before adding, “that we need to keep improving.”\n\n\n\nWhat will sting the U.S. is that it may never have a better opportunity for its breakthrough.\n\n\n\nAs a co-host along with Mexico and Canada, the U.S. had a favorable draw that ensured it would never need to leave the Pacific time zone for its first six matches. In Los Angeles, Seattle and the Bay Area, the team played in front of rapturous, pro-U.S. crowds.\n\n\n\nPlayers said they understood that they were playing not only for short-term victories, but to help foster long-term enthusiasm for soccer in a country that has not always received the sport warmly. Last week, U.S. player Gio Reyna acknowledged that “World Cups only come around every four years, especially on home soil; this opportunity will really never come back.”\n\n\n\n“I think that was the goal, to obviously inspire people that the sport was growing in the U.S., which I think we saw,” Adams said. “The support was unbelievable. I think our initial reaction as a team was that in this moment we let them down. But I think altogether people gravitated towards the team because we were relatable, we represented exactly what the U.S. was today.”\n\n\n\nDefender Tim Ream said he was not in a mood to analyze the game’s tactics Monday, but in the big-picture, said that it was important to wonder “how can we continue to inspire (youth players) now that the tournament is over?”\n\n\n\n\n\nIt isn’t the only question that faces the U.S. now that its tournament is over.\n\n\n\nIn recent years, U.S. Soccer has attracted more financial support, which has led to larger budgets and the resources capable of attracting a top coach like Pochettino. The billionaire Ken Griffin contributed a “significant part” of the funding for Pochettino’s deal, the federation has previously said. In the spring, U.S. Soccer opened its first dedicated training facility outside of Atlanta. And in June, the training center was the site of a summit of youth and national soccer officials from throughout the country as they set out to grapple with how to fix the flawed and fragmented talent-development pipeline in this country.\n\n\n\nHow the U.S. spends its next four years before the next World Cup building on that momentum could decide how they fare in 2030. Of the 26 players on the roster, 17 play for teams based in Europe, as the U.S. grows its representation within many of the leagues considered the world’s best. The average age of the Monday’s lineup was more than 27 years old. Whether the federation brings in younger blood, while retaining some veteran leadership, will be something Pochettino, or another coach, must balance.\n\n\n\nU.S. Soccer has reportedly offered its coach a contract extension, but Pochettino comes from a background of coaching some of the biggest clubs in the world, and more could court him now. He was non-committal about his future Monday, but said he and the U.S. Soccer Federation had “built a very good relationship.”\n\n\n\n“Now is a moment to see, to assess the tournament and for sure in the next weeks we can start to talk if the federation want to talk,” Pochettino said.\n\n\n\nThroughout the tournament, players had described the stark difference in atmosphere compared to four years earlier, when the World Cup was played in Qatar, as far as could be away from American support. But the feeling after another knockout stage loss was no different, Adams said.\n\n\n\n“This was this was a moment to have the opportunity to advance and really try and do something special,” he said. “We fell short.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/usa-opportunity-soccer-breakthrough-four-more-years/4045691/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Andrew Greif | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-07T06:22:13.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2F260707-tyler-adams-getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4245%2C2388","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"the-us-had-a-golden-opportunity-for-a-soccer-breakthrough-now-it-must-wait-four-more-years"},{"id":"cnsa1a","title":"NATO announces billions in arms deals to prove its firepower to Trump","excerpt":"NATO on Tuesday showcased a series of military projects worth billions of dollars in an attempt to convince President Donald Trump that U.S. allies are converting fresh defense spending into real firepower.\n\n\n\n“It’s money well spent,” an energized NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte told government...","content":"NATO on Tuesday showcased a series of military projects worth billions of dollars in an attempt to convince President Donald Trump that U.S. allies are converting fresh defense spending into real firepower.\n\n\n\n“It’s money well spent,” an energized NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte told government ministers and defense industry officials on the sidelines of a summit in Turkey. He was speaking at a defense industry forum billed as NATO’s “big reveal,” to the thrum of techno music and a slick video display.\n\n\n\nTrump, who arrived in Ankara Tuesday, has branded NATO a “paper tiger” that would cease to function without American arms and leadership.\n\n\n\nNATO as an organization does not own any weapons — these are the property of the 32 member countries — but it does have a fleet of 14 AWACS early warning radar surveillance planes that are about 50 years old, along with some newer surveillance drones.\n\n\n\nA deal to replace the aging planes was announced Tuesday. Swedish manufacturer Saab will be supplying up to 10 new GlobalEye surveillance aircraft for a 10-nation consortium, Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson announced. \n\n\n\n“It’s a moment of great pride,” he said, noting that the twin-engine aircraft would be “made within the alliance for all the alliance.” \n\n\n\nSome of the projects will be paid for with funds from a system of cheap loans for defense purposes set up by the European Union, comprising up to $170 billion raised on capital markets.\n\n\n\n“We need to ensure that we are translating our economic might into military capabilities, putting the cash to work from defense plans to drones, from money to missiles and interceptors,” Rutte said.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNATO\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 18\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPentagon chief lashes out at NATO and announces a review of U.S. forces in Europe\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRussia\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFeb 10\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRussia can't attack NATO this year but plans to boost its own forces, an intelligence chief says\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nDefense sales announced\n\n\n\nRepresentatives from 15 nations shook hands and patted shoulders on a vast podium under the NATO logo as they announced a multinational effort to buy air-to-air refueling and transport planes from Airbus.\n\n\n\nThen Rutte announced a four-country effort to purchase as many as five new Triton surveillance drones to add to NATO’s small fleet. \n\n\n\n“It is genuinely made in NATO, and creating jobs on both sides of the Atlantic,” he said.\n\n\n\nRutte told reporters on the eve of the military alliance’s two-day summit in Turkey that “we will announce tens of billions in new contracts that will provide the crucial kit we need to deter and defend.”\n\n\n\nHowever, at Tuesday’s event, no dollar figures were given and the display included some projects long since agreed. \n\n\n\nThe defense industry splash comes a few weeks after Rutte tried to ease U.S. concerns about military spending at NATO with a new pitch using a chart labeled the “The Trump Trillion” — showing $1.2 trillion in spending by European allies and Canada since 2017.\n\n\n\nFar from being impressed, Trump appeared unmoved, saying he was still disappointed at some NATO allies’ refusal to join the Iran war, which he had launched alongside Israel without consulting them.\n\n\n\n“We don’t need their money — we don’t need anything,” Trump said. “I just want loyalty.”\n\n\n\nDebate over jet sales to Turkey\n\n\n\nThe summit is being held in President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s sprawling palace compound in Ankara and Trump has suggested he would come bearing gifts for the Turkish leader.\n\n\n\nSpeaking Monday on the morning show “Fox & Friends,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the U.S. not to sell F-35 fighter jets to Turkey, saying that Erdogan “calls openly for the annihilation of Israel.”\n\n\n\nTurkey and Israel have acrimonious relations. Erdogan frequently accuses Israel of committing genocide in its war in Gaza, triggered by the deadly Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack on southern Israel.\n\n\n\nTurkey was barred from the F-35 program in 2019, after it purchased Russian-made S-400 missile defense systems. However, Trump, who has warm relations with Erdogan, has hinted ahead of his planned visit to Ankara that the sales could soon resume.\n\n\n\nNetanyahu said selling Turkey F-35s would “upset the power balance in the Middle East, which is ultimately guaranteed by Israeli air superiority and also, I think, by America’s posture in the Middle East.”\n\n\n\nIsrael’s Air Force depends on hundreds of U.S. fighter jets, including F-35s, F-16s and F-15s.\n\n\n\n\n\nSeeking a stronger Europe for a stronger NATO\n\n\n\nThe focus of the summit is a stronger Europe for a stronger NATO. The Trump administration has warned the allies that they must handle Europe’s security alone as the United States focuses on China and the Indo-Pacific region.\n\n\n\nThe Pentagon wants a reboot and is promoting what it calls “NATO 3.0,” a vision of the alliance in which Europe assumes greater responsibility for its own defense, freeing the U.S. to concentrate on other priorities.\n\n\n\nBut hiking defense spending means increasing taxes or diverting resources from other priorities. U.K. Defense Secretary John Healey unexpectedly quit last month, saying the British government was not willing to spend at a time of rising threats.\n\n\n\nConcern is mounting among some northern and central eastern countries that Russia might be preparing a hybrid attack — a combination of conventional warfare with tactics like cyberattacks — on the continent as Russian President Vladimir Putin struggles to secure victory in Ukraine.\n\n\n\nKeir Starmer’s office said the British leader will be “focused on building a stronger and more European NATO” on what is likely to be his last foreign trip as prime minister.\n\n\n\nStarmer, who announced his resignation June 22, has faced criticism from military leaders, opposition politicians and some in his center-left party for the slow rate of increase in U.K. military spending.\n\n\n\nHis government has committed to reach the NATO budget target of spending 3.5% of gross domestic product on defense by 2035 but does not have a concrete plan to get there.

I feel silly. We said Memorial Day, by Memorial Day 2026. Now that seems ridiculous to me now, and we’re not alone, by the way,” said Allen. “As I said to you last time, or I tried to say, many people had it far worse than we did.”\n\n\n\nBack then, Allen shared the story of how he used his shotgun to gain access to the second story of his home. He said the water rose so quickly that the doors wouldn’t open. His wife had the idea to shoot out the window across the breezeway.\n\n\n\n“The furniture was all floating,” he said. \n\n\n\nStanding in a room now stripped to the studs, Allen points to where the drywall’s been cut out on the floor above, showing where the water rose to the top of the stairs. \n\n\n\nLike many in Kerr County, where more than $1 billion in damage was reported, Allen and his wife have grown used to living alongside construction during the recovery from last year’s deadly flooding. \n\n\n\nAllen said they won’t return to the home they escaped. Instead, they’ll make a guest house at the front of the property their primary residence. For now, they’re living upstairs as they wait for construction downstairs to wrap up in the next month or so. \n\n\n\nThe house by the water likely won’t be ready for kids and grandkids to visit until the end of the year. \n\n\n\n “When we think of July 4th, we’ll always remember that night. I don’t think I could help but do that,” he said.\n\n\n\nStill, Allen said this one-year mark brings a sense of normalcy and a focus on the faith that’s carried them through. \n\n\n\n“When you encounter trials in life, you’re supposed to count it as all joy, because the testing of your faith produces patience and you should be patient and steadfast. So that’s what I’m trying to do, that’s what my wife’s trying to do, and I think that’s what everyone in this community is trying to do,” said Allen. \n\n\n\nAccording to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, 228 households have either returned to permanent housing or are on an active pathway to recovery.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/one-year-later-construction-continues-across-flood-ravaged-kerr-county/4043996/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Allie Spillyards","publishDate":"2026-07-02T21:30:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fposter-frame-1782998647548.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"one-year-later-construction-continues-across-flood-ravaged-kerr-county"},{"id":"gfd15s","title":"Dallas parents find hope through faith after losing daughters in Texas floods","excerpt":"Nearly one year after the devastating flooding in the Texas Hill Country on Friday, July 4, 2025, Annie and RJ Harber are sharing publicly for the first time how they are moving forward after losing their two daughters and RJ’s parents in one of the state’s deadliest flooding disasters.\n\n\n\nThe No...","content":"Nearly one year after the devastating flooding in the Texas Hill Country on Friday, July 4, 2025, Annie and RJ Harber are sharing publicly for the first time how they are moving forward after losing their two daughters and RJ’s parents in one of the state’s deadliest flooding disasters.\n\n\n\nThe North Texas couple said the grief remains overwhelming, but their faith has given them the strength to keep going and hope that one day they will grow their family again.\n\n\n\nInside St. Rita Catholic Church, Annie and RJ reflected on the lives of their daughters, 13-year-old Blair and 11-year-old Brooke, and the memories they cherish most.\n\n\n\nYou still wake up hoping that it’s a dream, and you get out of bed and this is our reality.Annie Harber\n\n\n\nBlair and Brooke had different personalities but shared a close bond.\n\n\n\n“Blair was my comfort. She was my closest companion,” RJ said.\n\n\n\nAnnie described Blair as “the kindest, most loving, gentle soul.”  Brooke, she said, brought joy wherever she went.\n\n\n\n“Brooke was just this ball of energy and joy that you couldn’t help but have fun with,” RJ said.\n\n\n\n“She was fearless. She was confident,” Annie added.\n\n\n\nBrooke Harber, left, and Blair Harber, right.\n\n\n\nThe family spent many summers along the Guadalupe River, building traditions together. That changed during the early morning hours of July 4, 2025, when catastrophic floodwaters swept through the area.\n\n\n\n“When I woke up to the lightning, the first thing I told RJ was, ‘We need to check on the girls,’ because I thought they might be scared,” Annie said. “Never did I think when he stepped out that our house would be flooded.”\n\n\n\nRJ said the water rose with astonishing speed.\n\n\n\n“If I had not put my foot down, Annie and I would have been washed away,” he said.\n\n\n\nThe couple escaped. Blair and Brooke, who were sleeping nearby in a neighboring house with RJ’s parents, did not survive. \n\n\n\nBrooke and Blair Harber, center, with their grandparents on their father’s side.\n\n\n\nAmong the family’s most treasured memories is one final text message from their daughters.\n\n\n\n“Their final words to us were a text message,” RJ said. “At 3:30 in the morning, it read, ‘I love you.’”\n\n\n\nHe said those words have become a source of comfort.\n\n\n\n“There was no message that said, ‘Help,’ or ‘I’m scared.’ Just, ‘I love you,’” he said.\n\n\n\nFor Annie, no sign or memory can replace being with her daughters again.\n\n\n\n“I would love the signs, but I would give anything to hold them in my arms. You know, one more hug,” she said.\n\n\n\nThe Harbers said their Catholic faith has sustained them through the most difficult period of their lives.\n\n\n\n“The only reason we’re here is because of God and our faith,” RJ said. “We want to be reunited with them one day.”\n\n\n\nAnnie and RJ Harber, right, talk with NBC 5’s Meredith Land, left, about the loss of their daughters and his parents in the 2005 flooding in Central Texas.\n\n\n\nLooking ahead, the couple said they hope to become parents again while always honoring Blair and Brooke.\n\n\n\n“We’re hopeful to be parents again one day, even though we’re always parents,” RJ said. “We want to raise another child.”\n\n\n\n“We still have so much more love to give,” Annie said.\n\n\n\n“There’s no such thing as a limit on love,” RJ added. “We just want to give a child even more love.”\n\n\n\nPhotographs of Blair and Brooke fill the Harbers’ home, and the girls remain at the center of the family’s lives.\n\n\n\n“We know Blair and Brooke are our angels in heaven,” Annie said. “We get up every day to honor them.”\n\n\n\nThe Harbers have also established a legacy fund supporting Catholic education and youth sports programs in honor of Blair and Brooke.

Iranian state television said the liquefied natural gas tanker came under attack after ignoring warnings but did not directly claim the assault.\n\n\n\nTehran has repeatedly declared that only its approved route through the strait is safe and is suspected of attacking other ships that have used another route close to the Omani shore. \n\n\n\nThe U.S. is eager to press ahead with negotiations with Iran aimed at fully reopening the strait, rolling back Tehran’s disputed nuclear program and reaching a permanent end to the war launched Feb. 28. But previous attacks in the strait have sparked retaliatory strikes by the U.S., which then saw Iran attack Gulf Arab states — raising the risk of an escalation.\n\n\n\nTalks between Iran and the U.S., meanwhile, appear to be on hold until after the burial of Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed at the beginning of the war. Signs have been increasing that mourners at his funeral were calling for the death of President Donald Trump.\n\n\n\nAuthorities flew Khamenei’s body to the Shiite seminary city of Qom overnight, where mourners honored him Tuesday. \n\n\n\nTanker struck in latest attack in strait\n\n\n\nThe United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said the tanker had been hit near Limah, Oman, in the strait. The UKMTO said the projectile hit the port side of the vessel while trying to traveling south out of the strait toward the Gulf of Oman.\n\n\n\nIt said there was no environmental impact from the strike and that authorities were investigating.\n\n\n\nIranian state TV, quoting anonymous sources, implied Tehran carried out the assault on a tanker it said was carrying natural gas from Qatar. However, there’s been no official claim from the Islamic Republic for the attack.\n\n\n\nIran’s joint military command warned last Thursday that all oil tankers moving through the strait must use its approved routes. It also said that interference by U.S. forces in the strait “will be met with a rapid and decisive reaction.”\n\n\n\nBut the Joint Maritime Information Center, a multinational body overseen by the U.S. Navy, told shippers on Monday that the route around Oman “has been expanded and remains available for all traffic.”\n\n\n\nTrump on Monday at the White House also warned Iran that they’d need to “make a deal or we’re going to finish the job.” \n\n\n\n“I’d rather make a deal, because I don’t want to affect 91 million people,” Trump said. “We can knock down their bridges in one hour. We can knock out their energy supply.”\n\n\n\nIran and the United States agreed as part of an interim deal to allow ships to pass without paying charges for 60 days. But Tehran insisted it must control the routes of the vessels and later charge fees for passage, upending decades of practice in the waterway.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. and many Gulf Arab states say they won’t agree to Iran charging for passage through the strait. An effort by Oman and a United Nations agency to launch a new route near Oman’s shore earlier sparked attacks across the Mideast, highlighting the tensions.\n\n\n\nThe data firm Kpler reported that over last weekend at least 108 ships crossed through the strait using various routes. \n\n\n\nMourners gather in Qom for Khamenei’s funeral\n\n\n\nIranian state television early Tuesday aired live images from a helicopter of hundreds of thousands of people walking toward Jamkaran Mosque, just south of Qom, for a funeral service for Khamenei. The mosque is believed by Shiites to have once hosted the Muhammad al-Mahdi, the 12th and last Shiite imam, who disappeared in the 9th century and will one day reappear to bring justice to the world. \n\n\n\nImages of Khamenei and his son, Iran’s new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, were displayed on banners and posters held by mourners. Mojtaba Khamenei has yet to make an appearance in the funeral ceremonies, which are unfolding over several days.

He helped set up Malik Tillman’s goal in the 31st minute when he was fouled by Belgium defender Brandon Mechele roughly 25 yards outside the Red Devils’ goal.\n\n\n\nTillman scored on the ensuing free kick. Just before the goal, Balogun waved his arms and pumped up the American fans.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. tried to set up Balogun multiple times. He made use of his speed on several runs but could not get past Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. His best chance came in the 82nd minute, when Courtois got in front of a left-footed attempt. Balogun was replaced by Haji Wright in the 92nd minute. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo a suggestion that Balogun wasn’t a major presence on the field, U.S. midfielder Tyler Adams responded: “Was anyone a major presence on the field today?”\n\n\n\n“We were happy that we had the opportunity for him to play,” Adams said. “He tried today to be a presence and a nuisance, and at times he was — getting the ball in behind and doing what he does. Just didn’t have too many opportunities.”\n\n\n\nBalogun said it was difficult to understand why the U.S. didn’t play with the intensity the team brought to its earlier games.\n\n\n\n“Today we didn’t give the crowd a lot to cheer for,” he said. “That’s the most disappointing thing, and that’s the part that hurts the most for me personally.”\n\n\n\nLast Wednesday during the Americans’ 2-0 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina, Balogun was shown a red card by Brazilian referee Raphael Claus for stepping on an opponent’s ankle, triggering an automatic one-game suspension.\n\n\n\nAfter Trump spoke by phone to FIFA president Gianni Infantino, FIFA’s disciplinary committee suspended the discipline for a year on Sunday.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 6\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUSA out of World Cup after 4-1 loss to Belgium in Round of 16\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 6\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFIFA dismisses Belgium's appeal and will let Folarin Balogun play for U.S.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nInfantino said he did not play a role in the decision by the disciplinary committee, which also fined Balogun $40,000, a penalty that can be paid by the U.S. Soccer Federation.\n\n\n\nThe FIFA president was in attendance for the match, watching from a suite with Pascale Van Damme, chair of the Belgian Football Association, and Cindy Parlow Cone, president of the USSF.

These foods tend to contain pigments and other health-boosting plant compounds that can reduce inflammation, in addition to being high in fiber.\n\n\n\nRaj also recommends colorful fruits and veggies because of their high antioxidant profile.\n\n\n\nWhy it matters\n\n\n\nA major part of managing chronic inflammation is making healthy eating choices that center unprocessed whole foods high in fiber, like fruits, veggies, whole grains and legumes. And certain types of whole foods, especially darkly pigmented foods, offer unique benefits.\n\n\n\n“Dark pigments, like the anthocyanins in blueberries, or the lycopene in tomatoes, are often a sign of beneficial plant compounds called phytonutrients,” Rizzo says. “These compounds have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.”\n\n\n\nShe recommends pairing these foods “with other anti-inflammatory staples,” such as leafy greens, nuts, seeds, beans, whole grains and healthy fats. Doing so will “help support overall health and reduce chronic inflammation over time,” Rizzo says.\n\n\n\nHowever, that doesn’t mean that lighter colored foods, like white potatoes or white carrots, are devoid of phytonutrients. These foods often have a different set of healthy compounds and antioxidants, such as the sulfur-containing compounds in cauliflower, dietitians said previously.\n\n\n\nIn fact, a few of Raj’s favorite foods to promote a healthy gut microbiome and reduce inflammation are light in color: yogurt with active cultures, kefir and sauerkraut, because they are high in probiotics.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to get started\n\n\n\nThere are so many healthy, delicious anti-inflammatory whole foods to choose from and all of them are great to add to your diet.\n\n\n\nBut if you’re not sure where to start, give berries a try.\n\n\n\nRegistered dietitian Keri Glassman previously rated blackberries as the top anti-inflammatory food, and blueberries topped TODAY.com’s list of healthiest fruit. Meanwhile, raspberries are exceedingly rich in gut- and heart-healthy fiber. And all of them are packed with antioxidant plant compounds.\n\n\n\nHave your morning yogurt or oatmeal with some fresh berries, snack on them throughout the day or add them to salads for a bright, flavorful pop.\n\n\n\nTo reduce inflammation throughout the body, Raj also recommends minimizing consumption of alcohol and ultraprocessed foods, as well as eating more foods high in omega-3 fatty acids.\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

Their July 3 ceremony at New York City’s Madison Square Garden may be one of the most high profile weddings in history. Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce called “magical,” while other guests said it was a “pinch-me moment.”\n\n\n\nSmith may have had her own pinch-me moment by catching the bouquet, potentially transforming 2026’s cruel summer into her love story.\n\n\n\nWhat did Ashley Smith say about catching the bouquet?\n\n\n\nSmith is hoping there’s some magic in the bouquet she caught.\n\n\n\n“Celebrated an Enchanting Love S(T&T)ory 🤍✨🤍 And somehow…I ended up catching Tay Tay’s bouquet. 💐” she captioned a series of photos of her and her brother on Instagram July 5.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“So here’s to believing it’s bringing a lifetime of love, luck, and laughter my way,” she added. “Congratulations, Taylor & Travis! Cheers to forever T&T!”\n\n\n\nWho are Trey and Ashley Smith?\n\n\n\nTrey Smith, 27, is a Jackson, Tennessee, native who plays guard on the offensive line for the Chiefs. He’s been with the team since they drafted him out of the University of Tennessee in 2021 in the sixth round, capping off a collegiate career in which he was a four-year starter.\n\n\n\nAshley Smith, meanwhile, has carved her own path in the NFL. In April, she wrote on Instagram that she wrapped up working at the league office. Her LinkedIn profile still lists her job as manager, player engagement, at the NFL.\n\n\n\n“Taking time to reflect on this chapter, I am just incredibly grateful. Grateful for the opportunity to serve both current and former players through personal and professional development,” she wrote on Instagram.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShe said she worked five Super Bowls, the draft, Pro Bowl and more high-profile events while with the NFL.\n\n\n\n“I had a front row seat to some of the biggest moments in sports, but what I will cherish most are the people,” she wrote.\n\n\n\n“The players I had the honor of serving are some of the most elite athletes in the world, but even better human beings. The colleagues across all 32 clubs are some of the brightest and most dedicated minds in football,” she added. “I am thankful for the opportunity to pour into others, to build, to lead, and to grow. I pray that the work I did continues to impact not only the players I worked with, but those who will come after them. Forever grateful for this chapter.”\n\n\n\nAshley Smith is one of her brother’s biggest cheerleaders\n\n\n\nTrey Smith re-signed with the Chiefs in 2025 for $94 million over four years, a record for a guard. That prompted his sister to think about his journey to becoming a standout football player.\n\n\n\n“Losing Mom when you were just 15 was a blow none of us were prepared for. I saw how deeply it affected you, but I also saw how you kept going — how you turned pain into purpose,” she wrote on Instagram.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShe reflected on more “tests” he faced in his career, such as suffering blood clots in his lungs in college.\n\n\n\n“So many counted you out. So many thought you’d never play again,” she wrote. “But you made a promise to Mom to finish what you started, and you did just that — getting your degree and showing the world what true resilience looks like.”\n\n\n\n“While you’ve often looked to me for direction, I’ve often looked to you for inspiration,” she added. Words can’t fully express how much your heart, your resilience, your faith, and your fight have impacted me. You’ve shown me what it means to persevere, to rise with grace, and to honor God through it all.”\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

The Folarin Balogun red-card controversy only added to any potential fuel. \n\n\n\nBelgium made sure to bring up the red card on social media in the aftermath, posting “Overturn this” with an emoji.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBalogun got the starting nod in an unchanged lineup from Mauricio Pochettino. Belgium, on the other hand, did not start Kevin De Bruyne, Jeremy Doku and Romelu Lukaku. But head coach Rudi Garcia knew what he was doing with the chemistry between his starters.\n\n\n\nIt was Belgium that used the aforementioned fuel first to get on the scoresheet inside 10 minutes. Some poor U.S. defending led a pass to be deflected to the back post from the left flank, where Belgian striker Charles De Ketelaere reacted first to tap home.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEven U.S. head coach Pochettino had a confused look on the sidelines with the lack of intensity and communication from the defense.\n\n\n\nBut the U.S. would get the next goal — and from a fitting scenario. Malik Tillman, just like he did vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina, scored a free kick at a crucial moment.\n\n\n\nThe 31st-minute goal was aided by a deflection that put off star goalie Thibaut Courtois, but it was a moment the U.S. desperately needed to calm down the nerves. Tillman had put the U.S. up 2-0 en route to eliminating Bosnia in the Round of 32.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBut the equalizer didn’t last long.\n\n\n\nJust about 61 seconds later, De Ketelaere made it a brace. Leandro Trossard moved down the left flank before putting in a cross with his weaker left foot. De Ketelaere rose up over Tim Ream to head home in the 33rd minute.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe U.S. went into the break struggling to get Christian Pulisic and Balogun involved. Gio Reyna came on for Sergino Dest at halftime as Pochettino sought some more attacking presence in midfield.\n\n\n\nHowever, the first decisive moment of the second half proved too costly for the U.S.\n\n\n\nIn the 57th minute, U.S. goalie Matt Freese came out to clear the ball and had enough support around him for a pass. But it seemed like Freese froze in the moment, as he lost the ball with no one protecting the net.\n\n\n\nThe ball came out to first-half substitute Hans Vanaken, who calmly put it home from long range with only Ream having a chance to block it.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt immediately went from bad to even worse, as Pulisic could not continue with what appeared to be a knock. Just minutes before, Pulisic attempted to shoot the ball just outside the box but ended up kicking Youri Tielemans instead. Sebastian Berhalter replaced him.\n\n\n\nPochettino attempted to make changes with fresh legs, but the quality difference between his bench and Belgium’s was too stark. De Bruyne did not come off the bench, though Lukaku and Doku did. \n\n\n\nThe final goal eventually went to Lukaku, who capitalized off another U.S. defensive mistake in second-half stoppage time to make it 4-1. Alex Freeman and Chris Richards took too long to clear the ball in their own defensive third, as the veteran Lukaku punished the mistake.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBelgium were deserved winners in the end, posting 2.15 expected goals across 15 total shots, per data-tracking platform FotMob. It’s the type of goalscoring performance the Red Devils needed as Spain present a whole new challenge.\n\n\n\nLa Furia Roja have yet to concede in this tournament as Unai Simon keeps extending his World Cup-minutes record. The U.S. would’ve faced a similar uphill battle had it qualified instead.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. ended the game with just 0.67 expected goals with seven shots and only 12 touches in the Belgian box. \n\n\n\nBalogun struggled to impose himself against center-backs Brandon Mechele and Nathan Ngoy, logging only 19 touches and three shots — two of which were off target. He finished the tournament with three goals amid the red-card controversy. The “Football Gods” may have had a say.\n\n\n\nPulisic assembled a poor overall tournament, too. He didn’t score a goal across four games and had one assist before exiting early with an injury. He didn’t get on the ball enough and lost too many key duels to keep his nation on the front foot. He’s left injured from three of the seven World Cup games he’s started.\n\n\n\nThe AC Milan forward had 36 touches, but completed just 2 of 6 dribbles and didn’t record a single shot. He lost 6 of 8 ground duels.\n\n\n\nThe goalie question mark will also continue from here. Freese made his mark to replace 2022 World Cup starter Matt Turner. But the 27-year-old NYCFC goalie didn’t do enough to make an impact, and his mistake will be his legacy from the tournament.\n\n\n\nReam’s replacement will also need to be someone of true quality to go alongside Richards. Mark McKenzie and Miles Robinson are not at the required levels to come in for the 38-year-old defender.\n\n\n\nThe 2022 World Cup saw the U.S. fall to the Netherlands 3-1 in the Round of 16 in a game that went a similar way. The U.S. came up against a superior European side just a tier below the best and lacked the confidence and individual attacking quality to make a difference.\n\n\n\nThe last quarterfinals berth for the USMNT came in 2002, when it fell to Germany 1-0. The nation has never won the men’s World Cup.\n\n\n\nAll eyes will now be on Pochettino’s status with the national team moving forward, as he will decide whether to stay on or potentially return to club football.\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/usa-belgium-score-balogun-lukaku/4045593/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Sanjesh Singh","publishDate":"2026-07-06T21:00:52.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2F2026-07-07T003451Z_1262939167_UP1EM7701M213_RTRMADP_3_SOCCER-WORLDCUP-USA-BEL-e1783389381184.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2300%2C1273","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"usa-out-of-world-cup-after-4-1-loss-to-belgium-in-round-of-16"},{"id":"ceunrx","title":"Grapevine firefighters help family recover after duplex fire destroys home","excerpt":"A Grapevine single father and his two young sons are beginning the difficult process of rebuilding after a duplex fire left their home unlivable.\n\n\n\nJordan Ceman said he returned home from work last Tuesday, smelled smoke and then saw flames.\n\n\n\nCeman said he tried to put out the fire before fire...","content":"A Grapevine single father and his two young sons are beginning the difficult process of rebuilding after a duplex fire left their home unlivable.\n\n\n\nJordan Ceman said he returned home from work last Tuesday, smelled smoke and then saw flames.\n\n\n\nCeman said he tried to put out the fire before firefighters arrived.\n\n\n\n“I tried to put it out myself before the fire department got there and burned all the fingers on my left hand,” Ceman said.\n\n\n\nCeman escaped safely. His two sons were not home at the time of the fire, and neither was the family’s next-door neighbor.\n\n\n\nGrapevine firefighters, with assistance from Southlake firefighters, battled the attic fire in sweltering heat. Neighbors captured video showing exhausted crews after the fire as firefighters worked to keep the flames from spreading.\n\n\n\nCeman said he initially believed the situation was under control until he saw firefighters rush into action.\n\n\n\n“I was under the impression everything was good, and everything was OK, but then all of a sudden I saw people panicking and running. And I think one of the firefighters had passed out,” Ceman said.\n\n\n\nGrapevine Fire confirmed one firefighter felt faint during the response, was treated and released, and returned to work later that night.\n\n\n\nAlthough the fire was contained, Ceman said his family lost everything because of smoke and water damage.\n\n\n\n“My neighbor started that GoFundMe for us, and everybody has come through for us,” Ceman said.\n\n\n\nThe GoFundMe continued to grow after receiving an unexpected donation from the Grapevine Firefighters Union.\n\n\n\n“Blew me away.

He also knows success will not be measured by looking ahead to a specific season.\n\n\n\nIn an interview with NBC 5, new Mavericks coach Dusty May outlined his philosophy for building the Mavericks, discussed his transition from college basketball to the NBA and shared his excitement about coaching a roster that includes Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving.\n\n\n\nMay acknowledged the recent success of previous Mavericks coaches. Avery Johnson reached the NBA Finals in his second season, Rick Carlisle won an NBA championship in his third season and Jason Kidd guided Dallas back to the Finals in his third year.\n\n\n\nRather than focus on a timeline, May said the approach starts with daily improvement.\n\n\n\n“We’re not going to get there just pointing towards year three and expecting it to happen,” May said. “Every single day pouring everything we have into helping every single player in this organization be the best they can be and building a winner one day at a time.”\n\n\n\nMay arrives in Dallas after successful coaching stops at Florida Atlantic and Michigan. He said leading Florida Atlantic to the Final Four remains the accomplishment that stands out most.\n\n\n\n“The program we inherited at FAU, that was too big of a dream as well,” May said. “I think when we made the NCAA tournament, we felt like we had reached the pinnacle at that level, and we just kept going from there.”\n\n\n\nHe said he never imagined the Owls would reach college basketball’s biggest stage.\n\n\n\n“We didn’t really think about it until after we advanced to the Sweet 16,” May said. “At that point, we thought, you know what, we’re going to be hard to beat and who knows how far we could take this thing.”\n\n\n\nLeaving Michigan for the NBA was not an easy conversation for him to have with his players.\n\n\n\n“I just asked them for the same support that we would give our guys when they left for the NBA,” May said. “Even though they were disappointed, they’ve all been very, very supportive and basically saying that they would have done the same thing if they had the same opportunity.”\n\n\n\nMay said he welcomes working alongside the Mavericks’ front office rather than having complete control over basketball operations.\n\n\n\n“With me and my personality, I love being a part of a team,” he said. “Whatever my role needs to be on each team, then I’m happy with that.”\n\n\n\nAsked what he admired most about Mavericks executive Masai Ujiri, May pointed to his leadership.\n\n\n\n“His energy is infectious,” May said. “You can just have a good feel for people and you could just tell that he was the type of guy that I wanted to be around every day and learn from.”\n\n\n\nMay said his basketball philosophy centers on teamwork and sacrifice.\n\n\n\n“I think my North Star is playing the game as a unit, five guys being connected on the court, supporting each other, embracing each other’s unique talents and gifts and also sharing the sacrifice that it takes to be a champion,” he said.\n\n\n\nHe believes that approach fits No. 1 overall draft pick Cooper Flagg.\n\n\n\n“I think it’s difficult to find someone that doesn’t have positive things to say about Cooper and his ability to impact the game in so many different ways and make him truly unique and special,” May said. “It’s going to be a heck of a responsibility to help him maximize his ability and become one of the best players in the NBA.”\n\n\n\nMay also addressed the transition from college coaching to leading an NBA team. He said he believes his coaching style already aligns with the professional game.\n\n\n\n“I feel like the way our teams have played, the way the NBA game is now being played, but also the way that myself and our staff, we teach and we coach, it’s a little bit different than the college model,” he said. “We’ve embraced trying to be more progressive and learn from the NBA and learn from different leagues across the world.”\n\n\n\nAway from basketball, May said he enjoys reading, spending time with his family and being outdoors. He recently began reading the book “Super Teams.”\n\n\n\nMay also reflected on a personal milestone. May turns 50 on Dec. 30 and said he feels grateful for the opportunity ahead.\n\n\n\n“Just blessed,” May said. “I never would have dreamed that this would be where I was at this step of my career, part of the journey.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/dallas-mavericks/new-dallas-mavericks-head-coach-dusty-may-vision/4045600/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Newy Scruggs and Ahraya Burns","publishDate":"2026-07-06T20:40:47.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FDusty-May-Dallas-Mavericks-head-coach.png%3Ffit%3D859%2C483%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dusty-may-lays-out-his-vision-for-the-mavericks-and-a-new-era"},{"id":"efdfhh","title":"D4vd case leaks may have led to internal probe at L.A.

It’s my great honor to host the 78th Emmy Awards — in the 100th birthday year of my beloved NBC — and celebrate this extraordinary community of storytellers,” Hargitay said in a statement. “Whether it’s an actor or a director, a costumer or a sound designer, we are all so privileged to take part in creating television that unites us.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHargitay, 62, becomes the first woman to host the Emmys in 15 years, following Jane Lynch in 2011.\n\n\n\nShe stars as Olivia Benson on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” which is entering its 28th season to extend its title as the longest-running primetime live-action drama in television history. Hargitay won an Emmy in 2006 for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series during a stretch of eight consecutive nominations in the category for her role as Benson.\n\n\n\nHargitay, who also serves as executive producer and director of the series, also produced the film “I Am Evidence” that won a 2019 Emmy for Best Documentary.\n\n\n\n“Mariska has earned her place among television’s icons,” Jen Neal, executive vice president of live events and specials at NBC and Peacock said in a statement. “Few performers have left the kind of mark on television that Mariska has. For 27 seasons, she has brought strength, compassion and humanity to one of the most beloved characters on TV. As NBC celebrates 100 years of unforgettable storytelling, we can’t think of anyone more fitting to help celebrate the incredible legacy of television.”\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCelebrity News\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 6\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMariska Hargitay's husband proposes (again) during her final Broadway show\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTelevision\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMay 6\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMariska Hargitay reveals new bob haircut ahead of Broadway debut — see the pics\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nNominations will be announced by the Television Academy on Wednesday in a livestream on Emmys.com beginning at 11:30 a.m. ET.

He said he tried to avoid eye contact and stay safe.\n\n\n\n“I’m not the first person to go through all of this.

Malik Tillman responded with another free kick before De Ketelaere made it a brace.U.S. goalie Matt Freese made a major error in the 57th minute, leading to an easy Belgium goal to make it 3-1. Christian Pulisic withdrew with a knock right after, marking a poor overall showing.Veteran striker Romelu Lukaku came off the bench and added the fourth in second-half stoppage time off another U.S. defensive error to seal the deal.Folarin Balogun’s availability was the main talking point of the game, as his one-game red-card ban was suspended for the clash. He did not have a major impact on the game.Belgium came into the game ranked No. 9 by FIFA, while the U.S. trailed at No. 16.The U.S. topped Group D and eliminated Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 in the Round of 32 despite being down a man for most of the second half.Belgium topped Group G thanks to a 5-1 rout of New Zealand in the finale before knocking out Senegal 3-2 in the Round of 32.

She said those disasters served as deadly reminders of how quickly conditions can become dangerous.\n\n\n\n“Those two events coupled with one another really accelerated people’s interest in this problem and trying to put some solutions in place,” Sutton said.\n\n\n\nIn the year since deadly floodwaters hit Central Texas, the Federal Emergency Management Agency told NBC 5 Investigates it has seen increased interest in IPAWS, with at least 133 jurisdictions applying to join across the U.S., including 27 from Texas.\n\n\n\nFEMA said the first Texas application it received after the floods was from the North Texas Tollway Authority, which can now use IPAWS to reach phones along roadways in an emergency.\n\n\n\nCities, including Frisco and Arlington, also joined in the last year. Arlington officials told NBC 5 Investigates last summer that the catastrophic floods factored into their decision and that they worked quickly to implement IPAWS before the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup at AT&T Stadium so they could reach visitors’ phones in an emergency.\n\n\n\nAfter the flooding in Central Texas, NBC 5 Investigates reported that 120 of Texas’s 254 counties had no county or city agency authorized to send IPAWS alerts. In many cases, counties or cities had simply never signed up with the federal government.\n\n\n\nChristen Leaf, a parent who spoke with NBC 5 Investigates last year, said she was shocked to learn how many gaps existed. Leaf’s child was at Camp Mystic when the flooding occurred, but avoided the high water that killed 25 children and two counselors.\n\n\n\n“It’s shocking. It’s shocking. I mean, it’s disheartening because you know you think that there would be some sort of consistency at least within the same state, you know that you’re in,” Leaf said.\n\n\n\nLeaf hoped more Texas counties would join IPAWS. A year later, FEMA data shows that it is happening, though gaps remain in dozens of counties across the state. Some counties and cities said they use opt-in alert systems instead of IPAWS, allowing people to sign up to receive cell phone warnings. But experts said those systems do not have the same reach.\n\n\n\n“The number of people who opt in to local alerting and notification systems generally is around 20% of the population, which means you are really not able to get your message out to all of the people who need to hear it,” Sutton said.\n\n\n\nDuring last year’s flooding in Central Texas, the National Weather Service issued IPAWS alerts, though officials said those warnings may not have reached some people near the river in areas with poor cell service. FEMA records showed local officials had access to IPAWS but did not use it to send additional evacuation instructions.\n\n\n\nAuthorities have said they were uncertain whether telling some people to leave their homes in the darkness might increase the danger.

Lawn chairs line the sidewalk. Customers sip coffee while waiting patiently. And just beyond the front yard, a bakery cart is about to roll onto the porch.\n\n\n\nThey’re waiting for Little Bit Bakery.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe home bakery, operated by 21-year-old Angela Henson, has become a weekend destination for customers from across North Texas. Thanks to Texas’ Cottage Food Law, Henson is able to bake from her home and sell directly to customers — and demand has grown so quickly that many of her most popular items sell out within hours.\n\n\n\nHer Saturdays begin long before most people wake up.\n\n\n\n“I’ll wake up really early. I would say my average time is 2:30 in the morning… around 3,” she said, “I’ll bake, stock it up and just have it ready to go for 8 a.m. or whenever I open.”\n\n\n\nThe bakery’s popularity has been fueled in part by its growing social media presence, with thousands of followers on Instagram. \n\n\n\nCustomers quickly learned that arriving late often means leaving empty-handed.\n\n\n\n“We were way down there,” said Delilah Navarette of her first visit. “We had no idea how early we had to get here. We were worried we might not get anything.” \n\n\n\nThe menu changes weekly but often includes fresh sourdough bread, English muffins, cinnamon rolls and Henson’s highly sought-after oatmeal cream pies.\n\n\n\nRepeat customer Dana Eagle said the early wake-up call is worth it.\n\n\n\n“She is amazing. I love everything about what she’s doing. Her goodies — I don’t know what she does and what she puts in them, but they are phenomenal,” Eagle said on a recent Saturday. “And they’re well worth the wait. We got here a little after six o’clock this morning.”\n\n\n\nLittle Bit Bakery began after Henson discovered a love for baking during the COVID-19 pandemic, initially decorating custom cakes from home. Last September, she expanded the business by rolling a bakery cart onto her front porch, creating a neighborhood bakery experience that has quickly attracted a loyal following.\n\n\n\nThe business has grown enough that Henson has invested in larger equipment to keep up with demand. On a typical Saturday, she bakes about 85 loaves of sourdough, nearly 100 English muffins and lots of other baked goods.\n\n\n\n“I was able to get a bread oven, which has been probably the biggest game-changer of my entire life,” Henson said. “I wouldn’t be able to push out this much product at all without those things.” \n\n\n\nFor many customers, the appeal goes beyond the baked goods.\n\n\n\n“I think we’re kind of all her aunties — wishing her the best and supporting her,” Navarrete said.\n\n\n\nImages featured in this story were provided by HRN Photography.\n\n\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/friscos-little-bit-bakery-lines-customers-21-year-olds-porch/4044160/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Kristi Nelson and Robin Carter","publishDate":"2026-07-02T14:27:37.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FScreenshot-2026-07-02-at-2.58.27-PM.png%3Ffit%3D1237%2C704%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"friscos-little-bit-bakery-draws-lines-flocking-to-a-21-year-olds-front-porch"},{"id":"99w0me","title":"Two Dallas Wings named WNBA All-Star starters","excerpt":"The Dallas Wings have two All-Star starters: Paige Bueckers and Jessica Shepard.\n\n\n\nBueckers, who is averaging nearly 20 points this season, received the most votes among all starters and will make her second straight All-Star start.

The move was likely due to Felix’s work rate in helping defend Lamine Yamal, though Leao’s offensive quality could’ve been key early.\n\n\n\nThe game eventually played out as highly predicted — a tight, cautious affair with Spain on the ball more and Portugal relying on transition moments.\n\n\n\nAfter a first half in which Spain probably should’ve found the back of the net at least once, a key turning point transpired early after the interval.\n\n\n\nStar left-back Nuno Mendes went down with what appeared to be a muscle injury, something he was trying to play through in the tournament. But facing Yamal, who is coming off a hamstring injury of his own, amplified the risk.\n\n\n\nYamal was still relatively kept in check by makeshift left-back Nelson Semedo, though the decisive moment came in stoppage time.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter coming on in the 85th minute, Merino found the breakthrough six minutes later. \n\n\n\nThe 30-year-old midfielder won a foul in a dangerous area but played it quickly. He then ghosted behind Portugal’s defense as fellow substitute Ferran Torres slipped him through. The Premier League champion with Arsenal then buried it low with force past Diogo Costa, who played a brilliant game otherwise.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPortugal did not have any remaining substitutes to bring on after the goal, as Leao, who entered in the 71st minute, was the team’s best threat down the left flank vs. right-back Pedro Porro.\n\n\n\nBut after a couple of decent moments, most notably an over-the-crossbar header by substitute Bernardo Silva, Portugal could not find the equalizer.\n\n\n\nRonaldo ended the game with just 19 touches and three shots, two of which were on target but didn’t threaten goalie Unai Simon enough. Simon’s record of minutes at the World Cup without conceding extends further, as Spain hasn’t conceded a goal this summer.\n\n\n\nLamine Yamal #19 of Spain interacts with Cristiano Ronaldo #7 of Portugal after the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 match between Portugal and Spain at Dallas Stadium on July 06, 2026 in Arlington, Texas.\n\n\n\nSpain also ended the game with 1.77 expected goals across 15 shots (six on target), per data-tracking platform FotMob. Portugal had just 0.60 on 10 shots, though only Ronaldo’s two hit the target.  \n\n\n\nLa Furia Roja will now meet either USA or Belgium in the quarterfinals. USA and Belgium battle in the Round of 16 Monday night.\n\n\n\nRonaldo recently said this would be his last World Cup, so his lengthy resume will not feature the prestigious trophy. He scored a brace vs. Uzbekistan and a penalty vs. Croatia to end the tournament with three goals.\n\n\n\nLionel Messi, 39, is currently on seven goals as reigning champions Argentina take on Mohamed Salah Egypt on Tuesday. Messi’s World Cup title pursuit ended at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, but the chase for a second is still on.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/spain-portugal-score-cristiano-ronaldo/4045474/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Sanjesh Singh","publishDate":"2026-07-06T16:09:03.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2284947541-e1783371969643.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5603%2C3437","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"cristiano-ronaldo-portugal-eliminated-by-spain-1-0-in-world-cup"},{"id":"o0qjlp","title":"Jury deliberations resume in criminal retaliation trial of Johnson County Sheriff Adam King","excerpt":"Jury deliberations are set to resume Tuesday morning in the criminal trial of Johnson County Sheriff Adam King, who is accused of retaliating against his former top deputy after the deputy reported sexual harassment allegations against the sheriff.","content":"Jury deliberations are set to resume Tuesday morning in the criminal trial of Johnson County Sheriff Adam King, who is accused of retaliating against his former top deputy after the deputy reported sexual harassment allegations against the sheriff.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/jury-deliberations-resume-criminal-retaliation-trial-johnson-county-sheriff-adam-king","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Amber.Kite@fox.com (Amber Kite)","publishDate":"2026-07-07T12:30:04.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F08%2Fadam-king-.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"jury-deliberations-resume-in-criminal-retaliation-trial-of-johnson-county-sheriff-adam-king"},{"id":"uvjd9y","title":"Adam Sandler shared this marriage advice with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce","excerpt":"Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s star-studded wedding even featured a celebrity officiant.\n\n\n\nComedian Adam Sandler served as the officiant as the music megastar and Kansas City Chiefs star tight end tied the knot July 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.\n\n\n\nChiefs head coach Andy Reid, wh...","content":"Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s star-studded wedding even featured a celebrity officiant.\n\n\n\nComedian Adam Sandler served as the officiant as the music megastar and Kansas City Chiefs star tight end tied the knot July 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.\n\n\n\nChiefs head coach Andy Reid, who was inside the “World’s Most Famous Arena” for the nuptials, commended Sandler for how he carried out the role.

Racicot said she had been in an on-and-off relationship with Platner, but she cut off contact with him after that night and told him the incident wasn’t consensual. A voicemail left at a number listed for Racicot seeking comment did not receive an immediate response, but in an interview on CNN Monday evening she said she opted not to fight back for fear of Platner, a former Marine, becoming more violent.\n\n\n\n“He violated multiple layers of consent that night,” Racicot said.\n\n\n\nPlatner’s campaign did not immediately respond to an email and phone message from The Associated Press seeking comment.\n\n\n\n“Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically false,” Platner said in his video.\n\n\n\n\n\tIf you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline by calling 1-800-799-SAFE (7233), visiting www.thehotline.org or texting LOVEIS to 22522.\n\n\n\nStill, the allegation sparked a flight away from a candidate who has long been controversial. The main campaign arm of Senate Democrats called on Platner to drop out and said it would spend no money in the state if he is the nominee.\n\n\n\n“Graham Platner needs to immediately withdraw as the Democratic nominee for Senate and allow Maine Democrats the opportunity to choose a new candidate who can defeat Susan Collins,” Kirsten Gillibrand, chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and Chuck Schumer, the top Senate Democrat, said in a joint statement.\n\n\n\nRep. Ro Khanna, a California Democrat who’d stood by Platner even as the insurgent candidate was hit with prior allegations, said Monday’s was enough. “I’ve been very clear that sexual assault or violence against women is a red line,” Khanna said. “These allegations are very serious and credible. Graham Platner should drop out from the race. I am withdrawing my endorsement.”\n\n\n\nArizona Sen. Ruben Gallego also announced he was pulling his endorsement, as did the Democratic-leaning political group End Citizens United.\n\n\n\nThe Democratic leaders of Maine’s legislature called for Platner to withdraw, as did top officials at the state Democratic Party.\n\n\n\n“Over the past several weeks, multiple women have made serious, credible allegations against Graham Platner. Today’s statements take those allegations even further,” party chair Charlie Dingman, vice chair Imke Schessler and executive director Devon Murphy-Anderson said in a joint statement.\n\n\n\n“This Senate race comes at a pivotal moment in the struggle against a government, supported by Senator Collins, that serves the interests of the wealthy and powerful at the expense of ordinary Maine people. It is essential that we refocus this campaign on that struggle,” the statement continued.\n\n\n\n\n\nPlatner commandingly won Maine’s Democratic primary last month, but state law allows him to be replaced on the ballot if he withdraws by July 13. The replacement candidate must be named by July 27.\n\n\n\nAs of Monday, Platner had canceled a handful of campaign town halls planned in Maine.\n\n\n\nPlatner was a first-time candidate who won the primary with backing of the party’s left wing. While some Democrats came around to support him after his commanding primary win, Platner’s controversial history had already left others openly despairing of their chances of winning the race. A veteran who also worked for a private security contractor, Platner has a chest tattoo recognized as a Nazi symbol, had a history of controversial statements on social media and reportedly sexted with other women shortly after getting married.\n\n\n\nIn 2013, Platner posted on Reddit that people shouldn’t get so drunk “they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to” and that sexual assault victims should “just take some responsibility for themselves.” He’s since apologized for the post and says he no longer holds those beliefs.\n\n\n\nHasan Piker, a leftist commentator and streamer who’s backed Platner, seemed to reverse himself Monday following the Politico report. “If new evidence presents itself, I’m going to change my perspective — it’s that simple,” Piker said during a livestream on Twitch, adding: “This is a clear-cut instance of verifiable sexual assault allegations. It’s completely irredeemable.”\n\n\n\nMaine’s Democrats have long sought to oust Republican Sen. Susan Collins, who’s held on despite representing a state that reliably votes for other party at the presidential level. After Collins’ solid 2020 win, several Maine Democrats passed on the opportunity to challenge her this time and instead looked at other offices. That left the state’s 78-year-old governor, Janet Mills, as the Democratic establishment’s best hope.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tMore Graham Platner news\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tElections\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 9\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrimaries takeaways: Platner's big night, Clyburn carries on and Trump's support gets mixed results\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nPlatner rode into the political void and pitched himself as a blue-collar oysterman and veteran who could reach disaffected voters who had supported President Donald Trump. But as allegations began mounting against him, some state Democrats had heartburn, embodied by Mills’ refusal to endorse Platner after she dropped out of the primary. Chatter already began to circulate about other possible replacements, including former state senator and logger Troy Jackson and Secretary of State Shenna Bellows.\n\n\n\n“I’ve known this has been coming,” said Marie Follayttar, a Democrat and community organizer in Maine, talking the growing whispers inside the state’s small population that had been bracing for yet another revelation surrounding Platner. “I’ve been scared and I’ve been sick waiting.”\n\n\n\nThe Associated Press generally does not name victims of sexual assault, but in this case Racicot spoke in an interview with Politico.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/maine-graham-platner-sexual-assault-report/4045458/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Kimberlee Kruesi | The Associated Press and Nicholas Riccardi | The Associated P","publishDate":"2026-07-06T15:29:14.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FGraham-Platner-060926.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"maine-senate-candidate-graham-platner-faces-new-sexual-assault-allegation-reports"},{"id":"8uzglq","title":"Supreme Court allows Texas age-verification law for mobile apps to stand","excerpt":"The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to block a Texas law requiring app stores to verify users’ ages and obtain parental consent before minors can download apps or make in-app purchases.\n\n\n\n Senate Bill 2420, called the App Store Accountability Act, was passed last year, but was temporarily ...","content":"The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to block a Texas law requiring app stores to verify users’ ages and obtain parental consent before minors can download apps or make in-app purchases.\n\n\n\n Senate Bill 2420, called the App Store Accountability Act, was passed last year, but was temporarily blocked by a federal judge in December over First Amendment concerns.\n\n\n\nEarlier this year, the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals lifted the lower court’s injunction, allowing the law to take effect while the case proceeds. On Monday, the Supreme Court denied emergency applications filed by Students Engaged in Advancing Texas and the Computer & Communications Industry Association, leaving the Fifth Circuit’s order in place.\n\n\n\nThe order is not a ruling on whether the law is constitutional. Instead, it allows Texas to continue enforcing the law while the appeal moves forward.\n\n\n\nTexas is one of at least 20 states that have passed or are considering age-verification laws aimed at protecting children online as lawmakers increasingly scrutinize the effects of social media and technology on young people.\n\n\n\nTexas Attorney General Ken Paxton argued the law is intended to give parents greater oversight of what their children download and the agreements they enter into online. In its Supreme Court filing, the state wrote, “Before allowing minor children to acquire products from app stores and agree to these terms, Texas requires parental consent, including disclosures to parents about the product and contract terms.”\n\n\n\nThe challengers, including tech industry groups and student plaintiffs, argued the law unconstitutionally “deputizes app stores to police both minors’ and adults’ threshold access to vast amounts of online speech.” They also argued the measure places unconstitutional burdens on app stores and developers.\n\n\n\nTexas lawmakers said the measure would give parents more control over their children’s online activity while helping protect minors’ privacy in an increasingly digital world. In its filing, the state noted the legislation passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in both chambers of the Texas Legislature.\n\n\n\nA federal judge in Austin blocked the law before it was scheduled to take effect, finding the challengers were likely to succeed on their First Amendment claims. In June, however, the Fifth Circuit stayed that injunction, concluding Texas had shown it was likely to prevail on appeal and allowing the law to take effect while litigation continues.\n\n\n\nMonday’s Supreme Court order leaves the Fifth Circuit’s decision intact.\n\n\n\nThe case now returns to the Fifth Circuit, which will decide whether the law ultimately complies with the Constitution.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tKids & Online safety\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSocial Media\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 28\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe U.S. lags other countries in social media restrictions for kids, but a reform push is growing\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTechnology\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFeb 10\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t‘You can't keep kids offline': Expert shares tools for safer internet use\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTexas Legislature\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMay 27, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTexas could soon ban social media for minors under 18 in landmark vote\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tInstagram\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSep 17, 2024\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tInstagram introduces ‘teen accounts,' other sweeping changes to boost child safety online\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tnews\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 25, 2024\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKids' online safety measure easily clears key Senate hurdle in 86-1 vote","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/supreme-court-allows-texas-age-verification-law-for-mobile-apps-to-stand/4045443/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) -

He said the project would be privately funded and estimated its cost at up to $6 million.\n\n\n\n“It’s got the seal of the White House on it in granite, in carved granite,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “It’s really a beautiful thing.”\n\n\n\nThe president did not offer details on how long the work would take. It is the latest major construction project he has overseen in an effort to increasingly mold the White House in his own image.\n\n\n\nThe helipad can handle new choppers, Trump says\n\n\n\nSome of Trump’s major White House construction projects have relied on public money, even when the president initially suggested otherwise. Still, Trump said that Sikorsky Aircraft, a subsidiary of defense contracting giant Lockheed Martin, would be paying for the helipad.\n\n\n\nAsked about the cost of the project and a timeline for its completion, Lockheed Martin responded with a statement reading in part: “This specific contribution was made to the Trust for the National Mall, the National Park Service’s nonprofit organization” and “conducted in full accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.”\n\n\n\nIn 2024, Sikorsky completed a new fleet of helicopters for use as Marine One, and President Joe Biden took the first flight aboard a modern VH-92A helicopter on his way to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago — the same day the military announced Sikorsky delivered the last of the 23 new aircraft.\n\n\n\nBut Trump said the new aircraft were more powerful than Vietnam War-era choppers that long had been used as Marine One, and that the modern ones were too potent to land on the White House lawn without damaging the grass. \n\n\n\n“It’s not that the grass gets discolored — it gets ripped out,” the president said. \n\n\n\nIndeed, the new aircraft has seen limited service because their exhaust vents aim heat downward, scorching the White House South Lawn.\n\n\n\nThe Marines and Sikorsky have spent years trying to find a solution to the problem, which has meant that the new helicopters haven’t been used at the White House. A 2026 Marine Corps aviation plan said the older VH-3Ds will remain in service through the end of this year. \n\n\n\nTrump on Monday recalled telling a group of gathered military generals that a White House helipad would solve those problems.\n\n\n\nThe president said Sikorsky was building the helipad and paying the “full cost” because they “felt a little bit guilty” that the new fleet of helicopters was too powerful to land at the White House. \n\n\n\nTrump also said he told builders to “do a beauty” and suggested granite rather than simply laying concrete and painting it white. \n\n\n\n“You’re landing on granite, which is the strongest stone,” the president said, noting that the completed landing pad could also be used for other events, like outdoor White House news conferences. He added that the helipad will allow officials to “finally retire 45-year-old helicopters” that had been used as Marine One. \n\n\n\nTrump’s other projects to remake the White House include tearing up part of the Rose Garden for a patio space reminiscent of his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida and affixing partisan plaques to the wall of the colonnade for a Presidential Walk of Fame. \n\n\n\nTrump also had crews redo the bathroom attached to the Lincoln Bedroom and renovate the Palm Room, place new flagpoles on the north and south lawns and demolish the entire East Wing for a sprawling ballroom.\n\n\n\nEfforts to improve presidential helicopters go back decades \n\n\n\nWhile the term “Marine One” is applied to a variety of helicopter models that transport presidents, the most iconic and longest serving helicopter to take on the mission is the specially modified VH-3D Sea King helicopter that first entered service in 1978.\n\n\n\nIn the early 2000s, President George W. Bush, a Republican, began an effort to modernize the helicopter fleet, but the program ran into cost overruns, leading it to be scrapped by President Barack Obama’s administration. \n\n\n\nObama, a Democrat, restarted the program, but new, technical issues emerged, and it wasn’t until May 2014 that the military finally awarded Sikorsky a contract to build the next presidential helicopter — the VH-92A Patriot, which were the aircraft delivered in 2024. \n\n\n\nTrump says ‘a lot of love is being put into the White House’\n\n\n\nLater Monday, Trump addressed a lunch in the Rose Garden patio space and detailed yet another White House construction project, this one to revamp the columns on the building’s north side. \n\n\n\nCrews have erected scaffolding and Trump said, “We’ve taken about 150 years of paint off of the columns,” noting that, “If you don’t strip the paint off, it gets worse and worse and worse.” \n\n\n\n“A lot of love is being put into the White House,” Trump said.\n\n\n\nHe didn’t say who would be covering the cost of the column work.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/trump-white-house-helipad-marine-one/4045401/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Will Weissert and Konstantin Toropin | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-06T14:32:36.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FHELIPAD.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C675","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"trump-says-hes-building-a-white-house-helipad-for-a-new-more-powerful-marine-one"},{"id":"25drq4","title":"Extreme July heat threatens North Texas with pop-up severe storms ahead","excerpt":"A prolonged summer heat wave is settling over the region, pushing temperatures near the triple-digit mark and threatening to break a newly elevated normal high temperature of 95 degrees.","content":"A prolonged summer heat wave is settling over the region, pushing temperatures near the triple-digit mark and threatening to break a newly elevated normal high temperature of 95 degrees.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/weather/extreme-july-heat-threatens-north-texas-pop-up-severe-storms-ahead","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Ali.Turiano@fox.com (Ali Turiano)","publishDate":"2026-07-07T12:04:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2F740286399_2419575135198479_5717013906364591136_n.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"extreme-july-heat-threatens-north-texas-with-pop-up-severe-storms-ahead"},{"id":"geawxn","title":"Waymo cars stranded on San Francisco streets as July Fourth gridlock drains batteries","excerpt":"Several Waymo vehicles had to be towed away after the company said their batteries died while they were stuck in heavy San Francisco traffic amid Fourth of July celebrations.\n\n\n\nVideo verified by NBC News showed at least a dozen stationary Waymo vehicles, many Jaguar I-PACE models, lined up on a ...","content":"Several Waymo vehicles had to be towed away after the company said their batteries died while they were stuck in heavy San Francisco traffic amid Fourth of July celebrations.\n\n\n\nVideo verified by NBC News showed at least a dozen stationary Waymo vehicles, many Jaguar I-PACE models, lined up on a street following a city and county-sponsored fireworks display from the Golden Gate Bridge.\n\n\n\nAnother video showed more vehicles at a standstill at an intersection filled with people. One of the vehicles was on a flatbed truck.\n\n\n\nThe company noted that there was heavy traffic in the area following fireworks celebrations.\n\n\n\n“Major traffic disruptions, a high volume of travelers, and unplanned road closures contributed to unexpected congestion,” a company spokesperson said in a statement. \n\n\n\nThe spokesperson said Waymo’s roadside assistance team worked to clear the vehicles, adding that the company is “evaluating ways to strengthen Waymo’s resilience in major traffic disruptions.”\n\n\n\nRose Peterson told NBC Bay Area she was in a Waymo ride leaving the area when the car kept driving while someone lit fireworks on the street.\n\n\n\n“We were pulling up to a four-way stop and this guy was shooting off a firework in the middle of the road, and then our Waymo starts driving, and we’re like, ‘Wait, what’s happening?’,” she said, adding that no one inside the car was hurt.\n\n\n\nDave Guingona told the station he spent nearly two hours in standstill traffic until a number of Waymo vehicles were cleared from a roadway.\n\n\n\n“We realized people were getting out of their cars, yelling and screaming at these Waymos because there were no drivers,” he said.\n\n\n\nA Waymo vehicle caught fire after it drove over fireworks that someone had set off, according to the company, which said no injuries reported.\n\n\n\nIn December, Waymo briefly paused service in San Francisco following an electricity outage that affected more than 100,000 customers and caused some traffic lights to go dark. Some of its vehicles stopped at intersections that had nonworking traffic lights, NBC Bay Area reported.\n\n\n\nMayor Daniel Lurie has been an advocate for the brand of autonomous vehicles, saying last year that they’re “safe and sustainable.”\n\n\n\nOn Saturday night, he warned motorists about the post-fireworks traffic in the city.\n\n\n\n“Fog and fireworks, we did it the San Francisco way,” Lurie said in a video statement posted to X. “It’s going to take a while for these clogged streets to empty out. Give each other some grace as we clear out San Francisco.”\n\n\n\nThe city’s Department of Emergency Management warned of “heavy traffic and crowded transit” following the displays and urged people to wait to head home where possible.\n\n\n\nThe mayor’s press secretary, Charles Lutvak, said Lurie’s office will have talks with stakeholders about Saturday night’s traffic.\n\n\n\n“We understand that with more than 100,000 people in the area, some people experienced delays getting home, and we will have conversations with our public and private partners to ensure the experience is smoother next time,” Lutvak said by email Sunday night.\n\n\n\nMadison Lambert and Anna McLean contributed.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/waymos-stranded-july-fourth-gridlock/4045329/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Dennis Romero | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-06T11:31:23.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FWaymo-in-Rainy-Weather-in-Downtown-San-Francisco-2252707034-Getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5300%2C3533","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"waymo-cars-stranded-on-san-francisco-streets-as-july-fourth-gridlock-drains-batteries"},{"id":"52ttat","title":"Prosecutors argue the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk should stand trial","excerpt":"A former campus police officer testified Monday that he found an apparent “sniper pad” on a rooftop near where Charlie Kirk was assassinated, as prosecutors sought to convince a state judge they have enough evidence to put a Utah man on trial for murder.\n\n\n\nFormer Utah Valley University Officer C...","content":"A former campus police officer testified Monday that he found an apparent “sniper pad” on a rooftop near where Charlie Kirk was assassinated, as prosecutors sought to convince a state judge they have enough evidence to put a Utah man on trial for murder.\n\n\n\nFormer Utah Valley University Officer Christopher Bagley said he witnessed Kirk’s shooting while the conservative activist was speaking on Sept. 10 to a crowd of thousands. Soon after, Bagley went to a nearby gravel rooftop, where it appeared someone had been lying prone with a clear sightline to Kirk’s location, he said.\n\n\n\n“It looks like a sniper pad,” Bagley said, adding, “you’ve got markings of elbows, knees and feet.”\n\n\n\nThe testimony came as Kirk’s parents, Kathryn and Robert, and widow, Erika, were in the courtroom for the first time since the case began, along with Donald Trump Jr., President Donald Trump’s son.\n\n\n\nProsecutors are seeking the death penalty for defendant Tyler Robinson. A five-day preliminary hearing that began Monday marks the most significant presentation of evidence to date in the case.\n\n\n\nThere were no major revelations on the first day, although prosecutors aired new video that investigators believe showed Robinson getting in and out of his vehicle on Sept. 10 and 11.\n\n\n\nRobinson’s parents also were present, sitting a few rows behind the Kirks as the hearing began. The 23-year-old defendant is charged with aggravated murder in the assassination of Kirk, a conservative activist and ally of Trump.

Attorneys from both sides tried to shield their monitors from spectators in the court gallery, after Graf said the assassination videos couldn’t be publicized because of their graphic nature.\n\n\n\nUtah State Bureau of Investigations Agent David Hull described the videos during questioning by prosecutors: They showed the crowd milling around at the event, Kirk interacting with some of the spectators, the harrowing moment when he was shot and, finally, an anxious scene as Kirk’s security detail picked him up and took him away while administering first aid.\n\n\n\nRobinson sat quietly between his attorneys throughout the hearing, looking at the prosecution’s exhibits on a monitor and occasionally taking notes. He wore a gray suit, and his wrists were shackled to a chain around his waist.\n\n\n\nCharlie Kirk’s parents and widow walked out of the courtroom when a police officer started testifying about Kirk’s arrival on campus the day he was shot. They later returned.\n\n\n\nThe proceeding resembles a minitrial, but prosecutors need only demonstrate that there are reasonable grounds to believe Robinson killed Kirk and should stand trial. The standard is lower than for a trial, where prosecutors must prove guilt “beyond a reasonable doubt.”\n\n\n\nProsecutors, as a result, should have little trouble advancing their case, said Mark Kouris, a former prosecutor and state judge in Salt Lake City.\n\n\n\n“This standard is extremely low and the chances of them not getting through it are, quite frankly, almost nothing,” said Kouris, now an adjunct professor at the University of Utah’s S.J. Quinney College of Law.\n\n\n\nBagley, the prosecution’s first witness, said he could see the right side of Charlie Kirk’s body as Kirk spoke on campus. Kirk was answering a question when Bagley heard a gunshot.\n\n\n\n“I saw him go to the left … I could no longer see the right side of his body,” Bagley said. “Then everybody started getting up and started to run, more of a chaos situation.”\n\n\n\nDefense attorney Kathryn Nester asked Bagley about finding an empty pistol holster on the ground after the crowd fled. Bagley acknowledged he never took custody of the holster and didn’t know whether it had been fingerprinted.\n\n\n\nUtah is an open carry state, meaning people can carry guns openly or conceal them without a permit.\n\n\n\nNester repeatedly objected to evidence introduced by prosecutors. She was mostly overruled by the judge. However, Graf sided with the defense to block the introduction of a compilation of surveillance videos from Utah Valley University because some had been altered to zoom in or had circles drawn around individuals.\n\n\n\nProsecutors said they would try again Tuesday to introduce that video with the alterations removed.\n\n\n\nAny evidence from this week’s hearing would have to be reintroduced to be used at trial.\n\n\n\n\n\nRoommate’s recorded testimony could be focal point\n\n\n\nProsecutors have said they plan to present DNA evidence linking Robinson to the suspected murder weapon, autopsy findings, witness statements and video of Kirk’s killing. They are also expected to argue the shooting endangered others at Kirk’s campus event — an aggravating circumstance that could make the crime punishable by death under Utah law.\n\n\n\nProsecutors allege Robinson confessed in a note left for his roommate, who was also his romantic partner, that read: “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.”\n\n\n\nRobinson’s roommate is not expected to testify in person during the hearing. Still, the roommate’s recorded testimony could be a focal point for prosecutors. In addition to the alleged confession note, Robinson reportedly texted his roommate that he targeted Kirk because he “had enough of his hatred,” prosecutors have said.\n\n\n\nErika Kirk says court proceedings are a ‘painful reminder’\n\n\n\nBefore his death, Kirk and the organization he co-founded, Turning Point USA, galvanized the conservative youth vote to help Trump win a second term.\n\n\n\nThe Republican president has said he hopes Robinson receives the death penalty.\n\n\n\nErika Kirk said during his memorial service that she forgives Robinson.\n\n\n\nAhead of Monday’s hearing, she thanked supporters in a statement for their kindness and prayers.\n\n\n\n“Every court proceeding serves as a painful reminder of his death,” she wrote, “and the loss that has irrevocably impacted our lives and the lives of his children.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/charlie-kirk-killing-man-accused-preliminary-hearing-begins/4045314/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Hannah Schoenbaum and Matthew Brown | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-06T11:04:09.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FTyler-Robinson-Attends-Court-Hearing-For-Charlie-K-2280589743-Getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2800%2C1867","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"prosecutors-argue-the-man-accused-of-killing-charlie-kirk-should-stand-trial"},{"id":"12vcg3","title":"Trump says he asked FIFA to review U.S. soccer star Folarin Balogun's suspension","excerpt":"President Donald Trump confirmed that he asked FIFA to review U.S. soccer player Folarin Balogun’s red card suspension before the organization reversed its decision, allowing the star striker to participate in Monday night’s match.\n\n\n\n“I asked for a review by FIFA,” Trump said, responding to a re...","content":"President Donald Trump confirmed that he asked FIFA to review U.S. soccer player Folarin Balogun’s red card suspension before the organization reversed its decision, allowing the star striker to participate in Monday night’s match.\n\n\n\n“I asked for a review by FIFA,” Trump said, responding to a reporter’s question during an Oval Office event on Monday. At the same time, the president said he had “nothing to do with the decision.”\n\n\n\nFIFA’s reversal sparked a firestorm in the sporting world as the U.S. prepares for the match against Belgium. Balogun, who is regarded as one of the top U.S. players, had initially been banned from playing in Monday’s match after he received a red card last week.\n\n\n\nThe president confirmed he spoke with FIFA President Gianni Infantino, calling the FIFA chief “highly respected.”\n\n\n\nTrump said that he understands sports “really well,” adding that he did not believe Balogun’s action was a foul. Instead, he said he believed the incident was a matter of “two great athletes that crashed into each other and got entangled.”\n\n\n\n“That was not a guy punching somebody in the face or anything that, you know, would be different,” Trump said, going on to criticize the referee.\n\n\n\n\n\nHe railed against the idea of the star player being prohibited from participating in the next World Cup match.\n\n\n\n“It’s one thing to penalize somebody for the game, but how do you penalize them for a game that hasn’t been played yet?” Trump said. “It’s very unfair. You can’t do that. So, yes, I asked for a review by FIFA.”\n\n\n\nTrump argued that “no matter what happened, you have to let them use their best players.”\n\n\n\nAsked later whether he believed his actions could start a new precedent for powerful leaders intervening for their teams, Trump argued that he “had nothing to do with the decision.”\n\n\n\n“The game tonight is going to be amazing,” he added later. “And we’re going to have a full team, and Belgium is going to have a full team, and you know what? If they beat us, then they can be really proud. The other way, if they beat us, I say it was rigged, just like the election was rigged in 2020.”\n\n\n\nTrump has repeatedly falsely claimed he won the 2020 presidential election.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 5\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen is the USA-Belgium game?

He said the initial call was a “bad decision” and that FIFA should not review plays in slow motion.\n\n\n\n“Maybe we’ll bring it up at NATO tomorrow when we’re there with the Belgians and everybody else,” he added, referencing the upcoming summit in Turkey\n\n\n\n“But I just hope the match will go on,” he said. “Everyone will be at full strength, and the winner will be the winner. And if it’s Belgium, they have a very good team, you know, they’ll move on, and they can say they beat the U.S. at full strength at home.”\n\n\n\nBalogun’s red card prompted fury from American soccer fans and concerns about the team’s prospects without the star player in the next match. Balogun was given a red card during last week’s match against Bosnia-Herzegovina, which the U.S. ultimately won. The foul was handed down after a replay review showed Balogun appearing to inadvertently step on the back of a player’s leg.\n\n\n\nCommerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who attended the game and sat next to Infantino, immediately started making calls to see what, if anything, could be done, given that these kinds of appeals are remarkably rare, according to two people familiar with the discussions.\n\n\n\n\n\nFIFA White House Task Force Head Andrew Giuliani informed Trump about the situation. This kicked off days of strategic discussions about how the federal government could help the U.S. soccer legal team form its argument to overturn the red card, these people said.\n\n\n\nThe president spoke with Infantino because he “wanted to better understand the reason why a red card was given and why there was a suspension,” according to a U.S. official.\n\n\n\n“The U.S. government provided additional evidence that was used in the appeal process,” the official said. “Ultimately, the correct and proper outcome was achieved.”\n\n\n\nThe appeal process is run by an independent board, the U.S. official added.\n\n\n\nThe Royal Belgian Football Association said in a Monday statement that it would push for Balogun to be excluded from the upcoming match. The association said it “has no alternative but to challenge the player’s eligibility for the upcoming match.”\n\n\n\n“Regardless of the sporting outcome of this match, the RBFA is deeply concerned by the course of events and will continue to fight in the coming hours, days and months in defence of the fundamental principles of ethics, fair competition, and the interests of football as a whole,” the association said in a statement.

The former royal and his wife have lived in the United States since 2020 after they stepped down as working members of the royal family and amid an embarrassing public split with the family.\n\n\n\nCiting Buckingham Palace, multiple outlets reported that that the Household requires a minimum notice period to ensure a guest can be hosted at a Royal residence and that the Duke of Sussex had missed a deadline.\n\n\n\nBut Harry’s spokesman said it was “disappointing that the offer has now been withdrawn.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHarry had spent last week “making alternative security arrangements. Once those arrangements were in place, he was able to formally accept the offer of accommodation for himself over the weekend,” he added.\n\n\n\n“It is therefore unclear why, having formally accepted the accommodation offer, it has now been withdrawn at the last moment,” the spokesman said.\n\n\n\nBuckingham Palace told NBC News Monday it was not commenting on the matter.\n\n\n\nHarry, 41, is due to visit the cities of London and Birmingham for a series of charity events this week. His wife and children Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, were initially due to accompany him but that was also walked back over the weekend, sparking further speculation about the relationship between King Charles III and his youngest son since Harry stepped back and later aired his grievances in his memoir “Spare” in 2023. \n\n\n\nWhile the spokesman told British media Harry’s family would no longer be joining him on the trip to London, citing a dispute with the government over security provisions for them — he did not rule out that they might join his trip later when he visits Birmingham.\n\n\n\nHarry’s trip starting Tuesday also coincides with an expected court judgement in his privacy claim against Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail. His representative said it could be a factor in the offer withdrawal but said Buckingham Palace had been aware of the impending judgement in the case “since last Thursday.”\n\n\n\nThe Duke and Duchess of Sussex were last together in the U.K. in 2022, for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. \n\n\n\nHarry, the fifth in line to the throne, has visited the country alone multiple times, and met briefly with the king on a trip last September after claiming his father had previously refused to speak to him.\n\n\n\nHarry had publicly alleged bitter internal feuds, including the breakdown of his relationship with Prince William, and claims his brother physically attacked him. He also spokeabout his father appearing to be concerned at being overshadowed by his sons and their wives in the media. Harry said his explosive book was “not about revenge, it is about accountability.”\n\n\n\nThe king, who is still undergoing treatment for cancer, has rarely seen his two grandchildren since they were born. After making public his personal grievances about his family in interviews and in his memoir, Harry said in May 2025,he wanted the fighting to end, adding that he did not “know how much longer my father has.”\n\n\n\nReuters and Jean-Nicholas Fievet contributed.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/fresh-dispute-prince-harry-u-k-return/4045304/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Adela Suliman | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-06T10:44:27.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FPrince-Harry-Duke-Of-Sussex-Visits-Kyiv-Security-F-2272783827-Getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5766%2C3844","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"fresh-dispute-clouds-prince-harrys-uk-return"},{"id":"ayg497","title":"Whale destroys fire boat on patrol in New Jersey","excerpt":"A surfacing whale “violently” hit a fire department marine security boat in New Jersey over the weekend, causing “catastrophic damage” to the boat but thankfully no injuries, officials say.\n\n\n\nAuthorities said the Carteret Fire Department Marine Unit 2 was conducting a regional special operations...","content":"A surfacing whale “violently” hit a fire department marine security boat in New Jersey over the weekend, causing “catastrophic damage” to the boat but thankfully no injuries, officials say.\n\n\n\nAuthorities said the Carteret Fire Department Marine Unit 2 was conducting a regional special operations marine security detail for the New York/New Jersey Port area around 4:30 p.m. Saturday when the whale struck.\n\n\n\nThe giant mammal breached the water south of the Arthur Kill, at the mouth of the Raritan Bay, and hit the boat. The vessel immediately started to take on water. Firefighters had seconds to abandon it, officials said. \n\n\n\nNo injuries were reported. \n\n\n\nOfficials in Carteret say a nearby recreational vessel had reported seeing a pod of whales breaching the water before and after the incident. The investigation is ongoing. \n\n\n\n“While the Carteret Fire Department Marine Unit regularly trains to rescue civilians from the water and respond to marine emergencies, fires, and vehicle incidents, an event of this nature is something no one anticipates,” the Carteret Fire Department said in a statement. “Understandably, it has left those involved shaken, but we are incredibly thankful that everyone returned home safely to their families.”\n\n\n\n“This incident also serves as an important reminder of the value of wearing a properly fitted life jacket. Every member aboard was wearing the required personal flotation device, which played a critical role in keeping them safe until rescuers arrived,” the statement continued.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/whale-hit-boat-nj-carteret-fire-department/4045408/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Jennifer Millman","publishDate":"2026-07-06T10:05:38.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fwhale.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D450%2C600","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"whale-destroys-fire-boat-on-patrol-in-new-jersey"},{"id":"wfb1ny","title":"Lauren Bennett, 'Party Rock Anthem' singer, dies","excerpt":"Singer Lauren Bennett, best known for her vocals on LMFAO's global hit \"Party Rock Anthem,\" has died, her former band G.R.L. revealed.","content":"Singer Lauren Bennett, best known for her vocals on LMFAO's global hit \"Party Rock Anthem,\" has died, her former band G.R.L. revealed.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/lauren-bennett-party-rock-anthem-singer-dies-36","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Stephanie.Weaver@fox.com (Stephanie Weaver)","publishDate":"2026-07-06T18:00:58.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.livenowfox.com%2Fwww.livenowfox.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Flauren-bennett-getty-scaled.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"lauren-bennett-party-rock-anthem-singer-dies"},{"id":"23u8ib","title":"Popular high-end shampoo sold at retailers and salons nationwide recalled for bacteria","excerpt":"A popular, high-end shampoo sold nationwide has been voluntarily recalled due to the presence of bacteria, with retailers and salons asked to pull the product from shelves and people urged to stop using it. \n\n\n\nThe recall, issued July 1 by Kao USA, was impacting certain lots of Oribe Serene Scalp...","content":"A popular, high-end shampoo sold nationwide has been voluntarily recalled due to the presence of bacteria, with retailers and salons asked to pull the product from shelves and people urged to stop using it. \n\n\n\nThe recall, issued July 1 by Kao USA, was impacting certain lots of Oribe Serene Scalp Densifying Shampoo sold in the U.S. and Canada. According to a release from the Food and Drug Administration, the recall was issued because Pluralibacter gergoviae bacteria was detected.\n\n\n\n“Though Pluralibacter gergoviae bacteria pose little medical risk to healthy people, those with certain health issues such as weakened immune systems may be more susceptible to infection by the bacteria,” the FDA said. The release went on to say that people were urged to stop using the products, regardless of health status. \n\n\n\nThe FDA says the recall is currently limited to specific lots of the Oribe shampoo in 8.5 ounce and 33.8 ounce sizes, but an investigation into the scope of the issue remains ongoing. Oribe’s website shows the impacted product may have be sold in purple bottles, starting at about $52.\n\n\n\nProvided by Kao USA\n\n\n\nThe following products have been recalled: \n\n\n\n\nOribe Serene Scalp Densifying Shampoo (in 8.5 oz and 33.8 oz sizes), manufactured between Feb. 21, 2026, and Feb. 26, 2026, could be impacted.\n\n\n\nThe affected lot codes for the 8.5 oz size (UPC 840035231242) can be found on the bottom of the bottle printed in black and begin with the prefix “YR”: o YR010556\n\n\n\nThe affected lot codes for the 33.8 oz size (UPC 840035231273) can be found on the bottom of the bottle printed in black and begin with the prefix “YR”: o YR010566 o YR010576\n\n\n\n\nA statement from Oribe manufacturer Kao USA said the company was working with the FDA to recall the lots from warehouses. \n\n\n\n“We are also asking retail and salon partners to remove affected lots from use and/or sale and return them to us for safe disposal,” the release said. \n\n\n\nThose who have used the product are urged to contact Kao Professional Hair Technical Hotline at 800-333-2442 or email oribecomplaints@kao.com with questions.\n\n\n\n“At Kao USA, the safety of our products and consumers is our highest priority,” the beauty manufacturer’s statement continued. “We are working with our partners to review manufacturing practices to help prevent similar issues in the future.”\n\n\n\nNBC Chicago reached out to Kao USA for comment on this story. \n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRecalls\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 2\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUtz potato chips issued highest-level FDA recall over salmonella concerns\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRecalls\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 29\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWidely used heart, kidney medications recalled due to ‘foreign substance'","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/recall-alert/oribe-shampoo-recalled-pluralibacter-gergoviae-bacteria/4045668/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Francie Swidler","publishDate":"2026-07-06T09:53:02.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-1326884896.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5760%2C3840","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"popular-high-end-shampoo-sold-at-retailers-and-salons-nationwide-recalled-for-bacteria"},{"id":"rbz7zz","title":"Could Monday's World Cup game in Arlington be Ronaldo's last?","excerpt":"Cristiano Ronaldo’s sometimes playful banter during a rare World Cup news conference ended in an exchange between Portugal’s superstar and an Argentine reporter.\n\n\n\nRonaldo took the moment on the eve of a round of 16 clash with border rival Spain to repeat something he has said at least once befo...","content":"Cristiano Ronaldo’s sometimes playful banter during a rare World Cup news conference ended in an exchange between Portugal’s superstar and an Argentine reporter.\n\n\n\nRonaldo took the moment on the eve of a round of 16 clash with border rival Spain to repeat something he has said at least once before.\n\n\n\nThis sixth World Cup for the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star will be his last.\n\n\n\n“What remains with me is the people — the people who love you. I share hotels with the staff, Latino people, and those are spectacular memories. Yesterday on the flight, there was an Argentine flight attendant. And knew she was Argentine by the way she looked at me: ‘I knew you were Argentine by the way you looked at me. If you look away quickly, it means you don’t like Cristiano,’” Ronaldo said in translated remarks Sunday, breaking into a smile.\n\n\n\n“I want to enjoy what will be my last World Cup to the fullest,” Ronaldo continued. “Hopefully, tomorrow won’t be my last match. That way, you can keep bashing me some more.”\n\n\n\nRonaldo, the career leader in international goals with 146, made similar comments in a television interview late last year, a few months after Portugal won the UEFA Nations League title with a riveting victory over Spain in a penalty shootout.\n\n\n\nMany of the questions for the 41-year-old during a 25-minute session at the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys referred to what everybody in the packed room was assuming: This was it for Ronaldo.\n\n\n\nBefore the end, he joked with reporters that they were pushing him out the door. Just about every time he did, though, he would turn philosophical.\n\n\n\n“There’s nothing missing,” Ronaldo said. “God was so generous toward me. He gave me everything I never expected to win, especially at the national team. And personally, the same thing. So it’s enjoying every moment. I’m not going to be more Cristiano or less Cristiano because I win the World Cup. Of course, we all have hopes, myself especially, and we all want all the conditions to win. But we know that only one is going to win.”\n\n\n\nRonaldo’s finale on soccer’s biggest stage — whenever that happens — will come eight years after he was the oldest to record a World Cup hat trick at 33. That was a 3-3 draw with Spain in a group-stage opener considered one of the World Cup’s best matches, although neither power reached the knockout stage.\n\n\n\n“Not to say that we have to do man-to-man marking, but in certain areas of the field you’ve got to be aware that he’s there,” Spain coach Luis de la Fuente said in translated remarks. “He’s got the talent, he’s got the class, and he’s got the quality, and at any moment he can be decisive for the game. He can be the best. So we’re well aware of this.”\n\n\n\nPortugal is trying for a second consecutive trip to the quarterfinals. The only other time Portugal went deeper in the Ronaldo era was a semifinal run in his World Cup debut in 2006.\n\n\n\nRonaldo had the tying goal in Portugal’s 2-1 win over Croatia in the round of 32. Three of his 11 World Cup goals have come in this tournament. It was a matchup of 40-somethings against Croatia’s Luka Modric, his former Real Madrid teammate, who was in his fifth World Cup at 40.\n\n\n\n“What I have done throughout my career is to adjust to the nuances of age, knowing that I’m not the player I used to be,” Ronaldo said. “But one thing I can understand very clearly is nothing has changed because I can still score a goal. I hope I do that tomorrow, and if I don’t, I hope others on the team do.”\n\n\n\nBarring a replay of his hat trick from 2018 in Russia, Ronaldo is unlikely to challenge the Golden Boot co-lead of seven shared by Lionel Messi of Argentina and France’s Kylian Mbappé, who also have a substantial edge on the career World Cup goals list.\n\n\n\nMessi set the record in this tournament and now has 20, while Mbappé is up to 19. Ronaldo sometimes bristles about where he stands among his rivals. But not on a day he reiterated his inevitable World Cup end.\n\n\n\n“Besides some different opinions that you may have, I’m not doing so bad, right?” Ronaldo said. “You know, I scored three goals. Well, there are others that scored more, because they are doing incredibly well, but I’m not doing so bad. And I need to continue onward.”\n\n\n\nFor at least one more World Cup game.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/could-mondays-world-cup-game-arlington-be-ronaldos-last/4045285/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Schuyler Dixon | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-06T09:35:17.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fronaldo-presser-arlington.png%3Ffit%3D1335%2C751%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"could-mondays-world-cup-game-in-arlington-be-ronaldos-last"},{"id":"3v9knz","title":"National Guard members fatally shoot man during pursuit in Memphis, police say","excerpt":"Two Tennessee National Guard members assigned to a crime-fighting patrol in Memphis fatally shot a man Sunday who turned toward the soldiers with a gun during a downtown pursuit, authorities said.\n\n\n\nThe Guard members are part of a federal task force in Memphis created by President Donald Trump, ...","content":"Two Tennessee National Guard members assigned to a crime-fighting patrol in Memphis fatally shot a man Sunday who turned toward the soldiers with a gun during a downtown pursuit, authorities said.\n\n\n\nThe Guard members are part of a federal task force in Memphis created by President Donald Trump, who last year sent troops and federal agents to Democrat-run cities that he described as overrun with crime. Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, a Republican, had deployed the Guard to support the effort.\n\n\n\nAuthorities said the soldiers in Memphis were responding with local police to reports of gunshots around 4 a.m. when they began pursuing an armed man fleeing on foot. The guardsmen opened fire after the man turned toward them with his weapon, according to the city’s police department.\n\n\n\nThe Tennessee Bureau of Investigation identified the man as Tyrin Johnson, 20, and said it is investigating the circumstances of the shooting. No law enforcement officers were injured, the agency added.\n\n\n\nJohnson died at the scene after two National Guard medical specialists attempted first aid, Guard spokesperson Lt. Col Darrin Haas said in a statement.\n\n\n\nJohnson’s older cousin, Terracle Nelson, 46, said authorities told family members that he had been shot twice in the chest. Authorities on Sunday did not immediately respond to questions about the number of shots fired and TBI declined to comment on Nelson’s account of the shooting.\n\n\n\nEvaniel Johnson said his grandson had taken classes at Tennessee State University, was the father of a young child and was preparing to help lead the family construction business. He said his grandson was also passionate about making music.\n\n\n\nHe said he wanted to review findings from investigators and any video of the shooting before making judgment.\n\n\n\n“I believed in him, and I know he still had so much life ahead of him,” Johnson said. “The heartbreaking reality is that he will never have the chance to enjoy what we were building together. That is a pain no grandparent should ever have to endure.”\n\n\n\nMayor Paul Young called the shooting an “unfortunate incident” and said he was waiting to see the results of the TBI investigation before commenting further, according to a statement provided by spokesperson Penelope Huston.\n\n\n\nA search of online records in federal and state courts Sunday did not immediately show any cases related to Johnson. In Memphis and in Nashville, local court records showed he had a handful of minor traffic violations.\n\n\n\nFederal troops have been patrolling the city since October over the objections of Young, a Democrat. The troops are part of the Memphis Safe Task Force, convened by Trump and comprised of federal and local agencies.\n\n\n\nThe task force has led to more than 10,000 arrests, the U.S. Marshals Service reported in June.\n\n\n\nThere have been at least four officer-involved shootings tied to the task force, according to TBI data. Two of those shootings occurred in May and did not involve National Guard members discharging their weapons. The TBI also tied the task force to an October shooting, but did not specify which law enforcement agencies were involved.\n\n\n\nThe TBI and the National Guard did not respond to questions about whether Sunday’s shooting was the first instance troops had fired their weapons since they were deployed to the city.\n\n\n\nFor years, Memphis, whose population exceeds 600,000, has dealt with high violent crime, including assaults, carjackings and homicides. Both Democratic and Republican officials have noted decreases last year in some crime categories, preceding the deployment and paralleling trends across U.S. cities.\n\n\n\nIn April, the Tennessee Court of Appeals ruled that state and local Democratic officials lacked standing to block the deployment of federal troops in Memphis.\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nBrook is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative. Report for America is a nonprofit national service program that places journalists in local newsrooms to report on undercovered issues.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/national-guard-memphis-fatal-shooting-pursuit-police-say/4045247/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Jack Brook | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-06T08:51:01.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26186722984248.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D7513%2C5009","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"national-guard-members-fatally-shoot-man-during-pursuit-in-memphis-police-say"},{"id":"7hcwtb","title":"Dallas Fire-Rescue fighting house fire in Far North Dallas","excerpt":"A house fire in Far North Dallas prompted a large response from Dallas Fire-Rescue on Monday evening.","content":"A house fire in Far North Dallas prompted a large response from Dallas Fire-Rescue on Monday evening.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/dallas-fire-rescue-fighting-house-fire-far-north-dallas","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Carter.Freemon@fox.com (Carter Freemon)","publishDate":"2026-07-07T03:08:50.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fdallas-fire-_2026_07_06t2127ct_7960_mp4_21.41.06.24.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dallas-fire-rescue-fighting-house-fire-in-far-north-dallas"},{"id":"gqp9l4","title":"First-responders rescue woman from Dallas ravine","excerpt":"Dallas first-responders personnel rescued a homeless woman who had been trapped in a Dallas ravine for days, officials said.

The first of eight bull runs is on Tuesday.\n\n\n\nHemingway’s 1926 novel captivated generations of readers with its sexy Jazz Age tale of American and British bohemians trying to fill some inner void with the distractions of exotic travel, vast quantities of alcohol and the anguishing pursuit of impossible love.\n\n\n\nIts success established “The Sun Also Rises” as a cornerstone of the American literary canon, right up there with F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby.” It also popularized the term “lost generation” to describe the tight-knit group of early 20th-century writers expatriated in Paris. Hemingway’s terse style forever changed American literature. In Spanish, its title is translated as “Fiesta.”\n\n\n\nHillmann, who hails from Chicago, was 19 when Hemingway’s vivid depiction of the bull running festival first enthralled him, especially descriptions of average Spaniards risking their lives sprinting through the streets to guide the bulls to the bull ring during the nine-day festival. \n\n\n\n“I sat there for about six hours, well past midnight, reading the book,” Hillmann told The Associated Press in Pamplona as he looked down on the pen where the bulls are held before being set free on the cobblestoned route. “And by the time I was done with that book, I was going to be a writer and I was going to be a bull runner.” \n\n\n\nSince that literary encounter, the 44-year-old Hillmann has run with the bulls in Spain hundreds of times, counting both his trips to Pamplona and his participation in dozens more bull runs in other Spanish towns. His infatuation with Hemingway and Pamplona has never waned, even though he nearly died one time that he was gored by a bull horn.\n\n\n\nHillmann’s appreciation led him to earn a doctorate in English, and now it is his turn to teach “The Sun Also Rises” at East-West University in Chicago, and write about bull running.\n\n\n\n\n\nAmericans are the biggest group of foreign bull runners\n\n\n\nHillmann is just one of many Americans inspired to travel to Spain to see the festival firsthand. While running with bulls is a cherished local custom for Spanish daredevils, Americans are still the leading group of foreigners who run at the San Fermin festival. In 2022, 16% of the bull runners were Americans, the largest percentage among foreigners and four times more than those from neighboring France, according to Pamplona’s City Hall.\n\n\n\nDallas-based tour operator Bruce Anderson, whose company “Running Of The Bulls” has helped thousands of Americans attend San Fermin over the years, says that Hemingway’s work made the festival a bucket-list destination. This year, his company is bringing 1,400 people to the festival, with over two-thirds from the United States.\n\n\n\n“There’s a lot of energy, a lot of excitement around just remembering that book and the impact that it’s had,” said Anderson, himself a lifelong Hemingway fan. He spoke in Pamplona’s art deco Café Iruña, which features heavily as a drinking spot in “The Sun Also Rises” and today houses a life-size statue of Hemingway bellying up to the bar.\n\n\n\nAnd Anderson, with his thick white beard, is something of a Hemingway look-alike. Local Spaniards often call out to him: “Papa!” – a nickname for their adopted hero.\n\n\n\nIt is impossible to avoid Hemingway in Pamplona\n\n\n\nHemingway is etched into the landscape of Pamplona. Hotels and bars have busts of him or signs up that he was once there. Outside the Pamplona bull ring, which also has a statue of the writer, a huge banner hangs in honor of the novel, including a quote that shows how the festival left the writer speechless: “At noon of Sunday, the 6th of July, the fiesta exploded. There is no other way to describe it.”\n\n\n\nWhen Hemingway made his last visits to Pamplona, he would frequent the Perla Hotel; his suite still has furniture from the 1950s when he stayed there. The room, which overlooks the bull run route, also has two glass bookcases holding dozens of copies of “The Sun Also Rises.”\n\n\n\n“Hemingway did a lot for Pamplona because he made it known around the world,” said Fernando Hualde, who worked for four decades as a receptionist in the hotel.\n\n\n\nHemingway’s legacy has become complicated over time\n\n\n\nHemingway’s local legacy, however, is mixed.\n\n\n\nBeside a feminist critique of his hyper masculine public persona, Hemingway has drawn criticism from the animal rights movement for his praise of bullfighters. In “The Sun Also Rises,” he spills far more ink on descriptions of their bravery than on the bull runs.\n\n\n\nAnimal welfare activist Brook Spurling said during a protest against the San Fermin bullfights that “Hemingway wrote about many, many themes that today would not be accepted into society. He writes about hunting, about war, and we don’t want to be appreciating these themes today.”\n\n\n\nHualde says that some Pamplona residents rue his early promotion of the festival due to the ills of overtourism the sleepy provincial city is now experiencing.\n\n\n\nPamplona has 200,000 residents and receives over a million more people for the festival. While most are Spaniards, around 15% of the revelers are from abroad. And many, especially the younger visitors, follow Hemingway’s example of drinking to excess.\n\n\n\nSome locals take pride in spots that weren’t touched by Hemingway. Local literature professor Gabriel Insausti of Pamplona’s University of Navarra recalls being in a bar with a sign that read “Hemingway was not here.”\n\n\n\n“In general, Hemingway has become a product of a franchise associated with San Fermin festival that has obscured his novel,” Insausti said. “People know who Hemingway is, but they haven’t read his novel.”\n\n\n\nBut the power of Hemingway’s English prose lives on\n\n\n\nHillmann said that the high percentage of inexperienced foreigners today makes the Pamplona bull runs particularly dangerous. The last death was in 2009 but gorings and other injuries are common. Novice runners can easily panic and make a wrong move that can cause a pileup or send someone into the path of a bull.\n\n\n\nHe was badly gored in 2014 when he said a bad maneuver by a fellow runner left him exposed to a bull. He thought he was dying, such was the quantity of blood gushing from his leg.\n\n\n\nAfter another goring in 2017, Hillmann told the AP from his hospital bed in Pamplona that he would not stop running. “People think this is just crazy people running. There is real art. If you pay attention, you can see it,” he said then.\n\n\n\nHemingway’s granddaughter, the actress Mariel Hemingway, recalls being treated “like royalty” when she attended San Fermin years ago. Mariel, who has written and spoken about her grandfather’s battles with mental illness that led to his suicide in 1961, is convinced his work will endure.\n\n\n\nThat fascination with death is likewise timeless.\n\n\n\n“Identity, love, purpose, and how to rebuild after profound loss … those themes haven’t ever changed. That’s what’s great about my grandfather,” Mariel Hemingway told the AP from her home in Idaho.\n\n\n\n“I think he captured something that will never go away.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/ernest-hemingway-spain-bull-runs-book-the-sun-also-rises/4045243/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Joseph Wilson | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-06T08:20:46.000Z","category":"library","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2F260706-spain-bulls-getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3543%2C1993","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"a-century-later-hemingways-story-still-draws-crowds-to-spanish-bull-run-festival"},{"id":"e44ji4","title":"Dallas police step up Fourth of July public safety with bridge, freeway closures","excerpt":"Six months after a viral video showed several men firing automatic weapons along the Margaret McDermott Bridge on New Year’s Eve, Dallas Police are taking new steps to prevent similar incidents during this year’s Fourth of July holiday.\n\n\n\nThe Dallas Police Department announced it will implement ...","content":"Six months after a viral video showed several men firing automatic weapons along the Margaret McDermott Bridge on New Year’s Eve, Dallas Police are taking new steps to prevent similar incidents during this year’s Fourth of July holiday.\n\n\n\nThe Dallas Police Department announced it will implement first-of-its-kind road closures Saturday from 9 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., beginning a half hour before the end of the Klyde Warren Park Independence Day Celebration.\n\n\n\n“We’re letting them know it’s not going to happen again. It’s going to be different, and this is just another way for us to keep everyone safe,” Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux said.\n\n\n\nThe temporary closures will affect the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, the Interstate 30 and Interstate 35E approaches to the Woodall Rodgers Freeway, the U.S. Highway 75 approach to the Woodall Rodgers Freeway, and streets surrounding Klyde Warren Park.\n\n\n\n\n\nPolice said they hope the closures will prevent the stalled traffic that occurred on New Year’s Eve, when vehicles stopped on roadways as people set off illegal fireworks and fired guns into the air.\n\n\n\n“Across the board, they need to know not to do it,” said Sgt. Kelvin Pope, a supervisor of the Dallas Police Traffic unit.\n\n\n\nDallas Police said they received more than 5,700 calls related to random gunfire between July 1 and July 5 last year.\n\n\n\nThe department also plans to increase its presence in the Highland Hills and Dixon Circle neighborhoods, which saw the highest number of random gunfire calls during last year’s Fourth of July weekend.\n\n\n\nFor those attending the FIFA Fan Fest fireworks celebration on Friday, police are encouraging people to carpool, use rideshare services or take public transportation. Street closures will also be in place near Gates 5 and 6 at Fair Park.\n\n\n\n“Please do not park your vehicles on the freeway, roadway or on the center median along the outer perimeter of Fair Park,” said Pope.\n\n\n\nPolice said the increased enforcement and temporary road closures are intended to prevent dangerous celebrations and random gunfire along some of Dallas’ busiest roadways during the holiday weekend.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

Lontrell Williams Sr., Pooh Shiesty’s father, is allegedly the man in the picture on page 8 holding a document, believed to be the recording contract release form.\n\n\n\nOn pages 8 and 11, the court documents allege Pooh Shiesty’s dad printed the contract release form at a Staples just hours before the meeting.\n\n\n\nProsecutors say the video, which NBC 5 is working to obtain, captures Gucci Mane stating that “Pooh Shiesty dropped from 1017 (Records)” after signing the form, while someone blocked the door with a gun.\n\n\n\nThe alleged robbery has now been valued at $450,000, including Gucci Mane’s wedding band, watch, earrings and cash, according to page 9 of the court documents,\n\n\n\nPooh Shiesty only got out of a Florida prison last year for an unrelated gun charge. He was supposed to be on house arrest.\n\n\n\nProsecutors allege Pooh Shiesty was able “to travel to unapproved locations while he was supposed to be confined to his residence,” according to court docs, because he was “involved in an inappropriate relationship with at least one of his” case supervisors. That caseworker was later fired.\n\n\n\nText messages in page 21 of the court docs appear to show Pooh Shiesty talking about being “high and drunk,” which would be a violation of his probation.\n\n\n\nProsecutors say they have five cooperating victims/witnesses who corroborate the digital and physical evidence.\n\n\n\nPooh Shiesty remains in the Kaufman County jail, awaiting trial in February of 2027. Big30 was released on bond.\n\n\n\nPooh Shiesty faces up to life in prison if convicted.

First is Australia versus Egypt at Dallas Stadium at 1 p.m. It is expected to bring an additional wave of international visitors into the region during the busy July Fourth holiday weekend.\n\n\n\n\n\nAustralia has not scored in its last two World Cup games, after opening the tournament with a surprise 2-0 win over Turkiye, but it was still enough to advance after a 0-0 draw with Paraguay, which also advanced.\n\n\n\nEgypt is led by former English Premier League star Mohamed Salah. Their supporters plan to march through Arlington Friday morning, similar to what Sweden fans did before their game against Japan.\n\n\n\nSupporters will gather around 8:30 a.m. around the Texas Golden Boot at the intersection of Cowboys Way and Stadium Drive. \n\n\n\n\n\nAustralia supporters are planning to attend the Thursday, July 2, Texas Rangers game against the Detroit Tigers.\n\n\n\nThe early evening game is Argentina versus Cabo Verde. Argentina dominated their group on the back of Lionel Messi’s 6 goals. Messi became the first player to score in 7 straight World Cup games while extending his goals record.\n\n\n\nCabo Verde is the smallest country in the knockouts. They shocked Spain in their tournament opener with a 0-0 draw. They followed that up with an equally shocking 2-2 draw against Uruguay, meaning the tiny island nation played at the level of two previous tournament champions. They wrapped up group play with a 0-0 draw with Saudi Arabia to finish second behind Spain. Argentina is the heavy favorite, but Cabo Verde has proven they cannot be counted out.\n\n\n\nArgentina-Cabo Verde kicks off at 5 p.m. in Miami.\n\n\n\nColombia-Ghana is at 8:30 p.m. Friday, July 3. Colombia won Group K with a draw against Portugal; they had already defeated Uzbekistan and DR Congo.\n\n\n\nColombia is led by Bayern Munich star Luis Diaz. \n\n\n\nGhana is one of 9 African nations to advance to the knockout rounds; only Tunisia failed to make it out of the group stage. The previous record was two.\n\n\n\nHowever, only Morocco has won their Round of 32 game, against the Netherlands. Côte d’Ivoire, Congo, Senegal, and South Africa have all been eliminated, many of them in heartbreaking fashion.\n\n\n\nAlgeria, Cabo Verde and Ghana are yet to play, but are all considered underdogs in their current matchups.\n\n\n\nThere will be two games per day moving forward until the Quarterfinals begin on Thursday, July 9.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/2026-fifa-world-cup-round-of-32-wraps-up-friday-with-dallas-stadium-kicking-off-final-three-game-day-of-the-tournament/4044016/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-07-02T09:33:33.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Fdownload-3-2.png%3Ffit%3D859%2C483%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"world-cup-round-of-32-ends-friday-with-dallas-stadium-wrapping-up-3-game-days"},{"id":"ta95gr","title":"Walmart to pay $13M to settle Texas investigation into delivery driver pay","excerpt":"Walmart is paying over $13 million to settle a Texas investigation alleging it shortchanged Spark gig drivers on customer tips and base pay, marking a massive win for the state's grocery delivery workers.","content":"Walmart is paying over $13 million to settle a Texas investigation alleging it shortchanged Spark gig drivers on customer tips and base pay, marking a massive win for the state's grocery delivery workers.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/walmart-pay-13m-settle-texas-investigation-delivery-driver-pay","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Joseph.Rowe@fox.com (Joseph Rowe)","publishDate":"2026-07-07T02:03:00.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F07%2Fwalmart-1-getty.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"walmart-to-pay-13m-to-settle-texas-investigation-into-delivery-driver-pay"},{"id":"cz4988","title":"Off-duty firefighter rescues kids trapped under boat","excerpt":"An off-duty Midlothian firefighter who was enjoying the July 4 holiday with his family jumped into Alvarado Lake to rescue three children trapped beneath an overturned boat.

In this case not.”\n\n\n\n“When the certainty of rules is no longer guaranteed by its guardians, the integrity of the game is at stake and the credibility of a competition is undermined,” said the European soccer body, which has often clashed with FIFA President Gianni Infantino during his decade in power.\n\n\n\n“We express our disbelief at such an unprecedented, incomprehensible and unjustifiable decision,” said UEFA, where Infantino was its CEO-like general secretary from 2009 until being elected to lead FIFA in February 2016.\n\n\n\nThe Belgian soccer federation prepared an appeal in Seattle in the early hours of Monday to challenge the Balogun ruling before a FIFA-appointed appeals judge, but was dismissed because Belgium was “not a party to the proceedings” and “has no standing to appeal the decision.”\n\n\n\n“The FIFA Appeal Committee has rendered a request submitted by the Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) as inadmissible in relation to the FIFA Disciplinary Committee’s decision to suspend for one year the match suspension imposed on United States national-team player Folarin Balogun,” FIFA said in a statement. “The chairperson of the FIFA Appeal Committee, Neil Eggleston (from the United States), was not involved in the decision.”\n\n\n\n The round of 16 game against the U.S. will kick off at 5 p.m. local time on Monday.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 5\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen is the USA-Belgium game?

Bernardo Silva of Portugal got just a yellow card against Congo.\n\n\n\n“I think a yellow card would have been fair,” Balogun later suggested.\n\n\n\nFIFA’s interventions\n\n\n\nThis World Cup has been remarkable for FIFA seeming to rewrite the norms of disciplinary action even before the tournament began.\n\n\n\nA pattern of pardons opened FIFA to suggestions of executive intervention in the statutory independence of its judicial bodies.\n\n\n\nCristiano Ronaldo was cleared to play in Portugal’s opening World Cup game despite getting a red card for serious foul play in a qualifying game against Ireland last November. He struck an opponent with an elbow.\n\n\n\nRonaldo served his mandatory ban in Portugal’s final qualifying game but he was reprieved from an expected two-game ban because FIFA introduced the idea of probation. An imposed three-game ban was less meaningful as two games were deferred during a one-year probationary period.\n\n\n\nAt the opening game on June 11, South Africa’s Themba Zwane got a red card against Mexico for a similar offense to Ronaldo’s and FIFA imposed a three-game ban with no probation. Zwane did not play again at the World Cup.\n\n\n\nThree players sent off in their teams’ qualifying games last year were surprisingly told by FIFA in May they could serve their bans in a future competition instead of at the World Cup, which was the long-standing norm.\n\n\n\nEcuador midfielder Moisés Caicedo, Argentina defender Nicolás Otamendi and Qatar defender Tarek Salman all had their bans waived for the World Cup.\n\n\n\nU.S. exceptionalism\n\n\n\nThis, FIFA said in May, was to ensure teams “can compete with their strongest possible squads on the biggest stage of men’s international football.”\n\n\n\nThe Balogun decision simply took this policy further, though not for other players shown a red card so far who were mandated to miss at least one game.\n\n\n\n“It is a principle embedded in regulations, which cannot be made subject to exceptions,” UEFA said, “let alone in the middle of a tournament where several other players have been in the same situation and regularly served their suspension.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/uefa-fifa-decision-folarin-balogun-belgium-appeal/4045169/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Graham Dunbar | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-06T06:08:47.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2F260706-bolagun-pulisic-getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4467%2C2513","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"fifa-dismisses-belgiums-appeal-and-will-let-folarin-balogun-play-for-us"},{"id":"stej5a","title":"DFW Airport braces for crowds as 4th of July travel rush meets World Cup traffic","excerpt":"The Fourth of July travel rush is underway at DFW Airport, where officials expect one of the busiest holiday periods on record as holiday travelers and FIFA World Cup fans converge on North Texas.\n\n\n\nDFW Airport projects approximately 1.75 million passengers will travel to, through or from the ai...","content":"The Fourth of July travel rush is underway at DFW Airport, where officials expect one of the busiest holiday periods on record as holiday travelers and FIFA World Cup fans converge on North Texas.\n\n\n\nDFW Airport projects approximately 1.75 million passengers will travel to, through or from the airport between Thursday, July 2 and Tuesday, July 7. \n\n\n\nThursday is expected to be one of the busiest days of the travel period, with more than 275,000 travelers moving through the airport. Airport officials also expect Monday to be the busiest day overall.\n\n\n\nThe surge comes as North Texas prepares to host a FIFA World Cup match on Friday at Dallas Stadium, where Australia will face Egypt. It is expected to bring an additional wave of international visitors into the region.\n\n\n\nAirport officials say roadways, terminal curbs and parking facilities are expected to remain busy throughout the holiday weekend, particularly during late morning and early evening hours. \n\n\n\nTravelers are encouraged to arrive early, check parking availability ahead of time and monitor security wait times before heading to the airport.\n\n\n\nMany of the World Cup visitors arriving in North Texas have already logged thousands of miles following their teams across the United States.\n\n\n\nAustralian fan Harry Gelder described the lengthy journey his group took to reach California for a previous match before making plans to continue to Texas.\n\n\n\n“Twenty-four hours. We had to detour. We went to Hong Kong, then Vancouver, then Seattle, and drove all the way down to San Fran,” Gelder told the NBC-affiliate in the Bay Area for Australia’s most recent match. “Everyone has been so welcoming here. I honestly didn’t know the Americans could be this nice. The Aussies are the best, but you guys are not far behind.”\n\n\n\nThe influx of international visitors comes during what AAA projects will be a record-setting Independence Day travel period nationwide.\n\n\n\nAccording to AAA, 72.2 million Americans are expected to travel at least 50 miles from home during the holiday period, surpassing last year’s record. In Texas, approximately 4.9 million people are expected to drive, while about 564,000 travelers will fly.\n\n\n\nDespite gas prices remaining higher than they were a year ago, AAA says driving continues to be the preferred option for most holiday travelers. About 85% of Americans traveling over the holiday are expected to drive to their destinations.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor many World Cup supporters, however, the long flights and crowded airports are part of the experience and make the travel worthwhile.\n\n\n\n“It is brilliant, and that’s what football does. The World Cup brings all different cultures together,” Australia resident Kristy Taddeo said.\n\n\n\nDFW Airport says some restaurants are equipped with TVs broadcasting the games so that they can host World Cup watch parties, allowing passengers to keep up with the tournament while waiting for their flights.\n\n\n\nAirport officials recommend arriving at least two hours before domestic departures and three hours before international flights to allow extra time for traffic, parking and security screening.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/dfw-airport-braces-for-crowds-as-4th-of-july-travel-rush-meets-world-cup-traffic/4043989/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Alanna Quillen","publishDate":"2026-07-02T08:06:24.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fposter-frame-1782997778213.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dfw-airport-braces-for-crowds-as-4th-of-july-travel-rush-meets-world-cup-traffic"},{"id":"ifygqf","title":"New renderings for Dallas Wings' Oak Cliff practice facility released","excerpt":"The Dallas Wings are sharing a new look at their practice facility, which is currently under construction.\n\n\n\nThe team shared a video reel that includes Downtown Dallas, where the Wings hope to permanently relocate their home games, and inside the facility in West Dallas.\n\n\n\nThere’s a community l...","content":"The Dallas Wings are sharing a new look at their practice facility, which is currently under construction.\n\n\n\nThe team shared a video reel that includes Downtown Dallas, where the Wings hope to permanently relocate their home games, and inside the facility in West Dallas.\n\n\n\nThere’s a community lobby, practice courts, a viewing porch, and a gym. There’s also a locker room for players, a salon, a treatment room, a content studio, a film study room, a draft room, and an open-concept office. The video ends with a family room, reception, a player dining room, and the parking lot.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n The facility is currently under construction after the team took over construction. The city was supposed to be in charge, but numerous delays led to a change of plans. The Wings still plan to open the facility in April.\n\n\n\nThe Wings are still negotiating where the team will play home games in 2027 and beyond. The current plan is the American Airlines Center full-time next year, with hopes the city’s rebuilt Memorial Auditorium is ready in 2028. \n\n\n\nThe Wings are playing three games at the American Airlines Center in 2026, but say it’s not a viable home as long as the Dallas Mavericks and Stars plan to occupy the building. The Mavs and Stars have leases there through 2030, before they both plan to move to new team-owned homes to the north. \n\n\n\nThe long-term future of the AAC and surrounding Victory Park remains unclear.\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/wnba/new-renderings-for-dallas-wings-oak-cliff-practice-facility-released/4043937/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-07-02T06:37:08.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fposter-frame-1782992823751.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"new-renderings-for-dallas-wings-oak-cliff-practice-facility-released"},{"id":"s6ncvf","title":"Off-duty Midlothian firefighter saves children after July 4 boat accident","excerpt":"An off-duty Midlothian firefighter is credited with saving three children trapped beneath a capsized boat at Lake Alvarado over the weekend, using lifesaving measures to resuscitate two unresponsive kids.","content":"An off-duty Midlothian firefighter is credited with saving three children trapped beneath a capsized boat at Lake Alvarado over the weekend, using lifesaving measures to resuscitate two unresponsive kids.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/off-duty-midlothian-firefighter-saves-children-after-july-4-boat-accident","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Dionne.Anglin@fox.com (Dionne Anglin)","publishDate":"2026-07-06T22:02:10.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fsv-alvarado-off-duty-firefighter-rescue-4p-_00.00.05.26.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"off-duty-midlothian-firefighter-saves-children-after-july-4-boat-accident"},{"id":"4p6v91","title":"July 4 fires damages multiple Fort Worth homes","excerpt":"Fire investigators are working to determine if fireworks caused several house fires in Fort Worth on the Fourth of July.","content":"Fire investigators are working to determine if fireworks caused several house fires in Fort Worth on the Fourth of July.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/july-4-fire-damages-multiple-fort-worth-buildings","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Tracy.DeLatte@fox.com (Tracy DeLatte)","publishDate":"2026-07-06T20:52:03.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2F070526-fw-curzon-ave-house-fire-lv_kdfw9a1f_186_mp_00.00.01.38.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"july-4-fires-damages-multiple-fort-worth-homes"},{"id":"lf1g8x","title":"Cedar Hill man arrested in connection to July 4 homicide in Grand Prairie","excerpt":"A Grand Prairie man was arrested on Sunday in connection to a shooting homicide.","content":"A Grand Prairie man was arrested on Sunday in connection to a shooting homicide.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/cedar-hill-man-arrested-connection-july-4-homicide-grand-prairie","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Carter.Freemon@fox.com (Carter Freemon)","publishDate":"2026-07-06T20:11:12.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fgphomicide.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"cedar-hill-man-arrested-in-connection-to-july-4-homicide-in-grand-prairie"},{"id":"2epl5y","title":"Microsoft cuts 4,800 jobs, including many in Xbox division","excerpt":"Microsoft has announced it is cutting 4,800 jobs, including many in its Xbox division.

His 10-year-old son had made it out safely.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe man’s home caught fire at about 9:40 p.m. Sunday. Firefighters were sent after a report of a house fire with a child believed to be trapped inside.\n\n\n\n\nAccording the police dispatch call, the father was inside the burning home and on the phone with 911 and he was looking for his son. At a certain point, he stopped talking on the call. \n\n\n\nThe dispatcher on the call said he was “no longer responding” and there was “just an open line with a lot of noise.” \n\n\n\nWhen firefighters arrived, there was a heavy fire that had spread throughout the family’s two-story home.\n\n\n\n“When we came out, you could just see the flames through the trees,” Jacqui Grantland, a neighbor said. “We were worried because there’s so much forest out here that the forest would engulf. It was just like nothing you’d had seen before.”\n\n\n\nThe family evacuated the home but once outside, the father couldn’t find his 10-year-old. He rushed back into the house to try to rescue him.\n\n\n\n“The child was later confirmed to have safely escaped the home,” the Office of the Maryland State Fair Marshal said in a statement. \n\n\n\n“That just says something about the character of the father,” Grantland said. \n\n\n\nWhen firefighters put out the fire, they found the father dead on the home’s second floor. \n\n\n\n“Our hearts are with this family as they face an unimaginable loss,” said Acting State Fire Marshal Jason Mowbray. \n\n\n\n\n\nPreliminary information from the fire marshal’s office revealed that the family had used ground-based sparklers earlier Sunday evening and they were thrown away in a trash can on a screened-in rear deck. It’s possible that the fireworks ignited other materials in the trash can.\n\n\n\nThe fire marshal’s office is investigating to confirm if the discarded fireworks retained enough heat to cause the fire inside the trash can.\n\n\n\n“As we continue our investigation, we want everyone to remember that fireworks don’t stop posing a risk when the show is over. Taking a few extra minutes to soak and properly dispose of used fireworks and sparklers can help prevent a tragedy like this,” Mowbray said.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/father-dies-after-trying-to-save-kid-from-house-fire-possibly-ignited-by-fireworks/4045293/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Megan McGrath","publishDate":"2026-07-06T05:43:04.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fst-marys-county-house-fire.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C675","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"maryland-father-dies-trying-to-save-child-in-house-fire-possibly-sparked-by-fireworks"},{"id":"ldrrqj","title":"3 Romanian nationals sentenced in massive Dallas credit card skimming operation","excerpt":"Three members of a sophisticated, organized credit card skimming ring have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms for stealing the financial information of nearly 800 North Texas shoppers, prosecutors announced Monday.","content":"Three members of a sophisticated, organized credit card skimming ring have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms for stealing the financial information of nearly 800 North Texas shoppers, prosecutors announced Monday.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/3-romanian-nationals-sentenced-massive-dallas-credit-card-skimming-operation","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Amber.Kite@fox.com (Amber Kite)","publishDate":"2026-07-06T17:57:49.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F07%2Fcredit-card-skimmer-suspects.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"3-romanian-nationals-sentenced-in-massive-dallas-credit-card-skimming-operation"},{"id":"oxfz6s","title":"White House report brands Smithsonian leadership as radical activists who can't be trusted","excerpt":"A White House report brands the leadership of the Smithsonian Institution, especially at the National Museum of American History, as radical activists who cannot be trusted, indicating that President Donald Trump may be preparing to install his own team.\n\n\n\nThe report released late on Independenc...","content":"A White House report brands the leadership of the Smithsonian Institution, especially at the National Museum of American History, as radical activists who cannot be trusted, indicating that President Donald Trump may be preparing to install his own team.\n\n\n\nThe report released late on Independence Day by the White House Domestic Policy Council comes in the midst of Trump’s aggressive campaign to overhaul some of Washington’s most sacred cultural and historic institutions.

In an unrelated interview that aired Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Bunch said “the notion of being a more perfect union, not the perfect union, is really what motivates me.” \n\n\n\n“I think what I want people to understand is that there is a responsibility to continue to make those aspirations available, accessible, meaningful to a whole range of people,” Bunch said. “And that, in essence, America’s greatest strength, it’s not running away from its history, but it’s understanding how that history shaped us and continues to shape us.”\n\n\n\nHistorian Anthea M. Hartig is the first woman to serve as director of National Museum of American History.\n\n\n\nTrump’s escalating effort to force changes at the Smithsonian marks the Republican president’s latest move to transform cultural pillars of society, such as universities and art, that he considers out of step with conservative sensibilities. Trump had himself installed as chairman of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts with the aim of overhauling programming, and his handpicked board voted to add his name to the building, only to have a federal judge later order the signage to be removed.\n\n\n\nThe administration also forced Columbia University to make a series of policy changes by threatening the Ivy League school with the loss of several hundred million dollars in federal funding.\n\n\n\nAnd Trump has imposed changes on historical sites beyond Washington, including in Philadelphia, where the administration won a court ruling last week allowing it to reinstall interpretive panels that critics say whitewash the history of slavery at the site of President George Washington’s home. Advocates, academics and officials have been concerned for months that the version that complies with Trump’s order could give a history that plays down the pain in the nation’s past in favor of a more triumphant view.\n\n\n\nGov. Josh Shapiro, D-Pa., accused Trump and his allies of trying to “rewrite history.”\n\n\n\n“There’s not one individual narrative that a president gets about our history,” Shapiro, a potential presidential prospect, said in an interview that aired Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “And any president should want to make sure that that full history is shared, that the American people are able to draw their own conclusions.”\n\n\n\nShapiro added, “If we understand where we came from, we’re going to have a better path forward.”\n\n\n\nTrump’s Domestic Policy Council does not necessarily agree.\n\n\n\nThe National Museum of American History “confronts visitors with materials intended to undermine faith in American institutions and the longstanding shared ideals of the American people,” the council’s report said. “We must be committed to restoring truth and sanity in how American history is presented and taught.”\n\n\n\nIn seeking to fulfill Trump’s order, which he called “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,” the review concluded by finding that the museum “by the intention and at the direction of current Museum and Smithsonian leadership, has become subject to institutional capture by a radical, activist ideology that is fundamentally opposed to telling the noble, honest story of the great country we know and love.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/white-house-report-smithsonian-leadership-radical-activists-who-cant-be-trusted/4045156/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Steve Peoples | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-06T03:36:31.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26186612559659.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2733%2C1822","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"white-house-report-brands-smithsonian-leadership-as-radical-activists-who-cant-be-trusted"},{"id":"j51ow5","title":"High-protein, healthy snacks to eat instead of a processed protein bar","excerpt":"A protein rich-snack can tide you over between meals, fight off afternoon hanger and help you refuel after a hard workout.\n\n\n\nWhen you’re in a pinch, eating a protein bar is a convenient way to get your macros in a candy bar-like package.\n\n\n\nHowever, protein bars aren’t the most nutritious snack ...","content":"A protein rich-snack can tide you over between meals, fight off afternoon hanger and help you refuel after a hard workout.\n\n\n\nWhen you’re in a pinch, eating a protein bar is a convenient way to get your macros in a candy bar-like package.\n\n\n\nHowever, protein bars aren’t the most nutritious snack option or the healthiest way to increase your intake of the muscle-building nutrient, experts say.\n\n\n\n“A big downside of relying just on protein bars between meals is that you’re missing out on all the nutrients you could be getting from snacking on whole foods,” registered dietitian Frances Largeman-Roth tells TODAY.com.\n\n\n\nProtein bars are considered dietary supplements, which means they’re intended to fill gaps, not replace a healthy diet rich in whole foods. It also means the U.S. Food and Drug Administration doesn’t test the ingredients or approve the labels before the protein bars are sold.

While the quantity is high, the quality tends to be low, says Kranz.\n\n\n\nManufacturers often use incomplete proteins, which lack all nine essential amino acids and have a lower digestibility rate, Kranz explains.\n\n\n\nProtein bars may also contain saturated fats, often in the form of palm oils. If you eat more than one a day, it can quickly increase your intake of unhealthy fats and calories, Largeman-Roth notes.\n\n\n\nMany contain artificial or low-calorie sweeteners, which can cause indigestion and diarrhea in some individuals, Kranz adds.\n\n\n\nWhile the occasional protein bar won’t hurt, these highly processed foods shouldn’t be an everyday snack, the experts emphasize.\n\n\n\nBenefits of getting protein from whole foods\n\n\n\n“Eating a whole food protein source as a snack will provide you with high-quality protein, as well as vital nutrients like vitamins, minerals, fiber and healthy fats,” Largeman-Roth says. These also provide energy, support muscle growth and curb cravings.\n\n\n\nWhole foods have a balance of nutrients, which helps the body absorb and use them more easily.\n\n\n\n“You’re getting an entire nutrient package, not just isolated protein or protein concentrate, plus sweeteners and other ingredients used to make bars taste good,” Largeman-Roth adds.\n\n\n\nWhat’s more, real food usually tends to be more more satiating than a candy-like bar, Kranz adds, so you’ll feel fuller for longer.\n\n\n\nHigh-protein snacks to eat instead of a protein bar\n\n\n\nThe Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend adults consume 1.2–1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight.\n\n\n\nThat protein math works out to about 20-40 grams of protein per meal and 10-15 grams per snack, dietitian and TODAY nutrition editor Natalie Rizzo, explains.\n\n\n\nIf you snack frequently, you can aim for a little less protein per serving — it’ll add up in the end.\n\n\n\nHere are 11 high-protein, whole or minimally processed snack foods to eat instead of a protein bar:\n\n\n\nTuna packets\n\n\n\nDon’t be wary of enjoying fish on the go. Tuna is a delicious, shelf-stable snack that’s loaded with protein and other nutrients.\n\n\n\nOne serving (3 ounces) of canned light tuna has a whopping 16 grams of complete protein for just 80 calories.\n\n\n\nThe lean protein and amino acids in tuna can help support muscle growth, especially if you’re strength-training. Tuna is also a great source of selenium, a powerful antioxidant, as well as vitamin B6, which supports protein metabolism.\n\n\n\nYou can find tuna in pouches or packets, already drained and portioned for maximum convenience.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCottage cheese\n\n\n\nCottage cheese is a favorite snack among dietitians for its high protein content and essential minerals.\n\n\n\nOne half-cup of low-fat (2%) cottage cheese packs 12 grams of protein for just 90 calories.\n\n\n\nDerived from cow’s milk, cottage cheese is an excellent source of complete protein to support healthy muscles and calcium to help maintain strong, healthy bones, says Rizzo.\n\n\n\nIt can be enjoyed up to two hours after taking it out of the fridge.\n\n\n\nRoasted edamame\n\n\n\nEdamame, or immature soybeans, are among the beans with the most protein.\n\n\n\nOne serving or half-cup of boiled, shelled edamame has 9 grams of protein for just 110 calories.\n\n\n\nEdamame is one of the healthiest high-protein plant-based foods, according to Rizzo. The sushi staple is also rich in gut-healthy fiber and vitamins.\n\n\n\nRoasting edamame with seasonings transforms it into a crunchy, flavorful snack you can enjoy on-the-go.\n\n\n\nHard-boiled eggs\n\n\n\n“The perfect protein source, eggs make a wonderful whole food snack,” says Largeman-Roth.\n\n\n\nOne large hard-boiled egg has 6 grams of protein and 70 calories. Eating two eggs will provide more protein than your average protein bar.\n\n\n\nIn addition to protein, eggs are a great source of choline, an important brain nutrient, vitamins B12 to support a healthy metabolism and iodine for thyroid health, Largeman-Roth adds.\n\n\n\nBoiled eggs should be enjoyed or popped in the refrigerator within two hours.\n\n\n\nAlmonds\n\n\n\nIf you’re looking for a quick and filling high-protein snack, nuts are a no-brainer. And the humble almond is among the healthiest nuts to eat.\n\n\n\nOne ounce of roasted almonds (about 23 nuts) provides 6 grams of plant protein for 160 calories.\n\n\n\n“Almonds bring a whole roster of important nutrients,” says Largeman-Roth. In addition to protein, one serving of almonds provides fiber, unsaturated healthy fats, magnesium, and 50% of the daily value of vitamin E, which acts as a potent antioxidant.\n\n\n\n“Almonds can easily be kept in a resealable container in your bag and make an excellent post-workout snack,” says Largeman-Roth.\n\n\n\nCheese sticks\n\n\n\nA lunch box staple, cheese sticks make a great high-protein snack. “I am the mom who eats the cheese sticks, right along with my kids,” says Largeman-Roth.\n\n\n\nOne serving or stick of low moisture, part-skim mozzarella has 7 grams protein and 80 calories.\n\n\n\n“They’re such a delicious and convenient source of protein, and also bring 200 milligrams of calcium to the party, making them a wise choice for post menopausal women,” says Largeman-Roth.\n\n\n\nPumpkin seeds\n\n\n\nPumpkin seeds are loaded with protein, essential fatty acids and minerals says Kranz.\n\n\n\nOne ounce of roasted pumpkin seeds will provide about 8 grams of protein for 160 calories.\n\n\n\nAlso known as pepitas, pumpkin seeds are a convenient high-protein food to keep in your snack rotation. “They’re very healthy and will keep you feeling full,” says Kranz.\n\n\n\nPumpkin seeds are also very high in magnesium, an electrolyte that supports healthy muscle and nerve function.\n\n\n\nMix them with nuts or yogurt for even more protein.\n\n\n\nGreek yogurt\n\n\n\nLow-carb and gut-healthy, Greek yogurt is a superfood that offers so much more than just protein, Rizzo says.\n\n\n\nOne serving of plain, non-fat Greek yogurt provides 16 grams of protein for just 90 calories.\n\n\n\nIn addition to high-quality protein, Greek yogurt features calcium, potassium and probiotics.\n\n\n\nTop your plain greek yogurt with fresh fruit for a boost of sweetness and fiber. “It’s the perfect pick-me-up pre or post-workout snack,” says Largeman-Roth.\n\n\n\nRoasted chickpeas\n\n\n\nRoasted chickpeas are another crunchy, savory snack option rich in plant-based protein. “You can’t beat their nutrient package,” says Largeman-Roth.\n\n\n\nOne ounce of cooked, roasted chickpeas has about 7 grams of protein for 130 calories.\n\n\n\nChickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are among the healthiest beans you can eat. In addition to protein, these hearty legumes are loaded with prebiotic fiber and potassium, which supports healthy muscles and nerve function.\n\n\n\nOvernight oats\n\n\n\n“While I usually think of overnight oats as a snack to eat at home, if you use the right leakproof container, you can take them on-the-go,” says Largeman-Roth.\n\n\n\nThe average serving of overnight oats (made with dairy or almond milk) can pack between 6–12 grams of protein.\n\n\n\nThe protein comes from both the oats, a nutritious whole grain, and the milk. You’ll also get calcium, vitamin D, essential minerals and cholesterol-reducing soluble fiber, says Largeman-Roth.\n\n\n\nGrass-fed, zero-sugar beef jerky\n\n\n\nBeef jerky is technically processed and should be eaten in moderation, but it makes a convenient high-protein snack, according to Kranz.\n\n\n\nOne serving of the average beef jerky provides 11 grams of protein for about 80 calories.\n\n\n\nIn addition to protein, beef jerky is rich in minerals like iron and zinc, which fight fatigue and support a healthy immune system.\n\n\n\nThe healthiest beef jerky is made with grass-fed beef and contains minimal ingredients and no added sugar. Jerky is notoriously salty, so opt for low-sodium varieties.\n\n\n\n(If you have salt restrictions, it’s best to avoid jerky, says Kranz.)\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

It came down to England’s attitude.\n\n\n\nThe Three Lions came away with a gritty 3-2 win over co-hosts Mexico in the World Cup Round of 16 on Sunday, as El Tri bows out at a stadium they rarely lose in.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith Canada losing to Morocco on Saturday, the U.S. men’s national team is the last host nation remaining. The Stars and Stripes meet Belgium on Monday.\n\n\n\nEngland’s main lineup concern involved its right-back spot as Reece James and Djed Spence weren’t fully fit enough to start. That meant makeshift defender Jarrell Quansah had to slot over. \n\n\n\nMexico, meanwhile, kept 17-year-old Gilberto Mora in midfield after two straight stellar performances as a starter vs. Czechia and Ecuador.\n\n\n\nEl Tri had the edge on the ball for the opening half hour, as England seemed OK to sit back and defend to preserve their legs in the altitude. \n\n\n\nThe first goal came against the run of play. Declan Rice drove down the field in very few touches, then swung it wide to Bukayo Saka on the right flank. Saka, dealing with an Achilles issue, took on his man before clipping a ball to the back post.\n\n\n\nHarry Kane was too ahead, but Jude Bellingham came flying in to head home in the 36th minute.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBellingham didn’t take long to make it a brace.\n\n\n\nAfter Mora was stripped near midfield, England broke out in attack again. This time, Kane slipped it into the box from the right side as Bellingham came rumbling in to tuck it away in the 38th minute.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngland couldn’t hang onto a clean sheet before halftime, however. \n\n\n\nIn the 42nd minute, a free kick from the left flank saw a deflected ball come into the path of Julian Quinones in the box. Mexico’s left winger had no problems drilling it past Jordan Pickford. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMexico then dominated from there and put heavy pressure on Pickford’s goal, but England held on to maintain a slight lead at the break.\n\n\n\nThe momentum then further went Mexico’s way in the 54th minute. Quansah was sent off with a red card after being adjudged to have made a high challenge on the ball.\n\n\n\nQuansah got the ball first in his slide-tackle attempt, but had studs up in the follow through upon VAR review. That led to Saka coming off for defender John Stones as England embraced a more defensive approach.\n\n\n\nHowever, it would be England that scored next. \n\n\n\nOn a long goal kick, Pickford’s ball came off Kane and into the path of left winger Anthony Gordon. Gordon brought the ball away from goalie Raul Rangel in the box, but was clearly tripped up for a penalty. Kane stepped up and buried it in the 60th minute, as Rangel went the right way.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBut Kane couldn’t escape the drama. Less than 10 minutes later, Kane gave away a penalty when attempting to clear the ball. He clipped midfielder Brian Gutierrez from behind upon VAR review.\n\n\n\nRaul Jimenez, who had a good record vs. Pickford coming into the game, made his stutter-step effort in the 69th minute to make it 3-2.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEngland had to make more defensive substitutions down the stretch as Mexico did the opposite to salvage its World Cup chances.\n\n\n\nBut after 11 minutes of added time, the breakthrough could not be found. England defended its box superbly to answer some questions about a possible shaky unit. Pickford commanded his box brilliantly while every player put their respective bodies on the line.\n\n\n\nIt’s also the second straight close affair for an England side that is getting severely tested. In the Round of 32, a late Kane brace was the decider to beat DR Congo 2-1.\n\n\n\nEngland ended the game with 1.55 expected goals across six shots, with five on target, per data-tracking platform FotMob. Mexico, for comparison’s sake, had 1.94 on 20 shots, but only five were on target.\n\n\n\nThe Three Lions will now meet Erling Haaland and Norway in the quarterfinals on Saturday, July 11. The game will be held in Miami. Haaland scored a brace to eliminate Brazil 2-1 earlier Sunday and has familiarity with England’s Premier League stars.\n\n\n\nEl Tri, meanwhile, fell at the Round of 16 hurdle once again. Despite beating Ecuador in the new Round of 32, Mexico has not advanced past this stage since hosting the World Cup in 1986. \n\n\n\nMexico made the Round of 16 in each World Cup from 1994 to 2018 before being grouped in 2022. Mora will have to lead the change by 2030 if that hurdle is to be crossed.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/england-mexico-score-bellingham-kane/4045124/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Sanjesh Singh","publishDate":"2026-07-05T22:34:01.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2284244110-e1783307735517.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4010%2C2348","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"england-eliminates-mexico-3-2-in-world-cup-in-possible-best-game-of-the-tournament"},{"id":"aeceu5","title":"Hear it: Calls for help after seaplane makes rough landing in New York City","excerpt":"A seaplane made a rough landing in New York City’s East River Sunday, alarming bystanders and resulting in two minor injuries, according to city authorities.\n\n\n\nThe seaplane carrying eight people made a “hard landing” around noon, according to the New York City Fire Department.

Seven victims are expected to survive, but a 21-year-old woman remains in critical condition after being shot in the chest, New York City police said. The gunman fled on foot, and authorities are working to identify and apprehend him.\n\n\n\nIn Florida, a 19-year-old was killed and six others were wounded by gunfire in downtown Pensacola after 1 a.m. Sunday. Pensacola Police Chief Eric Winstrom said at a news conference that the shooting appeared targeted and that no one was in custody. He noted that many young people, some as young as middle-school age, had been out unaccompanied that evening.\n\n\n\n“The youngest victim in this case was 16. The age range was 16 to 26 of the seven victims — very young, innocent kids out there,” Winstrom said.\n\n\n\nA shooting also erupted after 3 a.m. Sunday in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Police responding to the 2200 block of Oliver Street found one woman dead; eight adults were treated for non-life-threatening gunshot wounds, the Fort Wayne Police Department said. \n\n\n\nIn Gary, Indiana, police responded to two separate shootings early Sunday, one of which killed a 10-year-old boy.\n\n\n\nThe first shooting unfolded at 12:34 a.m. in the area of 19th Avenue and Hanley Street, where six gunshot victims took themselves to a hospital for treatment, Gary police said in a statement.\n\n\n\nMinutes later, at 12:49 a.m., police were dispatched to the 200 block of Chase Street after more gunfire. In that shooting, a 10-year-old boy and a 50-year-old man took themselves to a hospital with gunshot wounds, and the boy was later pronounced dead. The 50-year-old remains in critical condition.\n\n\n\nInvestigations into both shootings remains ongoing.\n\n\n\nIn Compton, California, a woman and a man were killed and three othersinjured at a large Fourth of July party at an apartment complex in the 700 block of West Laurel Street around 11:30 p.m. Saturday, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said. The two victims were pronounced deceased at the scene. Three others — a man, a woman, and a female juvenile — were taken to hospitals; the man is in critical condition, and the other two sustained non-life-threatening injuries, the sheriff’s office said.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWashington DC\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 4\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMasked men with Confederate flags seen chanting, marching, riding train in Washington, D.C.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFourth of July\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 4\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump mixes patriotism with partisanship as he celebrates America's ‘joyous' 250th anniversary\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsevere weather\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 4\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRecord heat suspected in over 20 deaths as severe weather puts damper on Fourth of July festivities\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nIn Dayton, Ohio, four people were injured in a shooting on the evening of July 3 in the Oregon District, a neighborhood known for nightlife and restaurants, according to a statement from the Oregon District Business Association. All four sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Association president Asha Parson said the shooting occurred after businesses and bars had closed and after security and police had ended their shifts for the night.\n\n\n\nSome tragedies unfolded closer to home. \n\n\n\nIn Canton, Ohio, 46-year-old woman was shot in the back while asleep inbed, after a suspect and others reportedly fired weapons into the air and set off fireworks to celebrate the holiday late Friday night. The woman was hospitalized in critical condition. \n\n\n\nThe suspect, Darius J. Leishman, 24, was arrested and charged with felonious assault and improperly discharging firearm into a habitation.\n\n\n\n“The idea that firing weapons randomly into the air has no consequences, or knowing and ignoring those consequences is outrageous,” Canton Police Chief John Gabbard said in a statement. “‘Celebratory gunfire’ is dangerous and illegal. It is heartbreaking that this victim had to suffer critical injuries to serve as an example of what should be clear and obvious to everyone.” \n\n\n\nIn St. Louis, Missouri, a 17-year-old boy was killed in a shooting around 12 a.m. Saturday in the 2100 block of Linton Avenue, police said. Two other victims, both 16-year-old boys, were dropped off at a hospital with gunshot wounds.\n\n\n\nIn Chino, California, a fireworks explosion killed one person and critically injured two others. Police responding to a reported vehicle fire in the 5600 block of D street at 8:30 p.m. Saturday found that the blast — believed to have been caused by a large quantity of ignited fireworks — had injured several people. Three adults were hospitalized with severe injuries; one, a woman in her 20s, later died. \n\n\n\nDerion Tradon James Jr., 28, of Hesperia, was detained and booked on an involuntary manslaughter charge. Chino police said the case will be submitted to the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office for review; the investigation is ongoing.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/deadly-fourth-of-july-shootings-explosions-across-the-country/4045062/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Marlene Lenthang | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-05T18:12:19.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2F8-wounded-in-mass-shooting-on-July-4th-holiday-in-2284185548-Getty.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C675","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"deadly-fourth-of-july-at-least-six-killed-in-shootings-explosions-that-leave-dozens-wounded-across-t"},{"id":"bs2ow4","title":"Recap: England beats co-hosts Mexico 3-2 in World Cup Round of 16 thriller","excerpt":"What to KnowJude Bellingham scored a brace in under two minutes to give the Three Lions a stunning 2-0 lead late in the first half.

That lasted about a month or two before I switched jobs and could not keep attending. Then in January of this year, a friend from church wanted to walk and talk on the Katy Trail on Thursday nights. We connected deeply, and I realized our young adults group at church needed something like this too. I invited everyone in Sunday class to a Friday night walk and talk, and only one person showed up. So I posted about it online, including a TikTok video that got around 30,000 views, and about 25 people came out,” Vasquez said.\n\n\n\n Three months later, more than 250 people are participating. \n\n\n\n“We have seen dozens of those moments, and probably many more we never even hear about [where people have connected],” Vasquez said.\n\n\n\nThey host a Walk & Talk every Friday, weather permitting.\n\n\n\n“Our next event is this Friday, July 3 at 7 PM. Everyone gets randomly partnered up to walk with someone new, in hopes that a real friendship forms from it,” Vasquez said.\n\n\n\nJuly 3 meetup will start at the Thomsen Overlook on the Katy Trail. \nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/uta-students-effort-to-bring-people-together/4043935/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Laura Harris","publishDate":"2026-07-02T06:35:17.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2019%2F09%2FKaty-Trail-2.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4032%2C3024","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"uta-students-effort-to-bring-people-together"},{"id":"2tymhs","title":"Teen driver arrested for DWI after Dallas crash injures two children","excerpt":"A 19-year-old driver was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated following a collision late Sunday night that sent two children to the hospital, Dallas police said.","content":"A 19-year-old driver was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated following a collision late Sunday night that sent two children to the hospital, Dallas police said.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/teen-driver-arrested-dwi-after-dallas-crash-injures-two-children","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Amber.Kite@fox.com (Amber Kite)","publishDate":"2026-07-06T17:25:14.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F03%2FDPD-Dallas-Police-car.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"teen-driver-arrested-for-dwi-after-dallas-crash-injures-two-children"},{"id":"edgby1","title":"Father dies trying to rescue child who had already escaped MD fire, police say","excerpt":"A Maryland father died Sunday night after running into his burning St. Mary's County home to rescue his 10-year-old son—unaware that the child had already escaped the fireworks-sparked blaze.","content":"A Maryland father died Sunday night after running into his burning St. Mary's County home to rescue his 10-year-old son—unaware that the child had already escaped the fireworks-sparked blaze.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/father-dies-trying-rescue-child-from-md-house-fire-sparked-discarded-fireworks-officials-say","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Sam.Kosmas@fox.com (Sam Kosmas)","publishDate":"2026-07-06T17:16:01.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox5dc.com%2Fwww.fox5dc.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fdeadlyfirehollywood-1.jpeg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"father-dies-trying-to-rescue-child-who-had-already-escaped-md-fire-police-say"},{"id":"3mxg4o","title":"When is the USA-Belgium game?

The last quarterfinals berth for the nation was in 2002, when the team fell to Germany 1-0.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. received a significant boost a day before the showdown, as FIFA suspended Folarin Balogun’s one-game red-card ban, meaning he will be eligible to start vs. Belgium.\n\n\n\nIt’s an unprecedented decision given the stakes of the game, with Belgium’s federation and staff understandably not happy with the decision.\n\n\n\nRicardo Pepi and Haji Wright are the backup strikers for the U.S., but Balogun’s impact at this World Cup lifts the team’s ceiling. He had a brace vs. Paraguay and scored the opener vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina.\n\n\n\nSo, what time is the game and where will it be available to watch? Here’s everything to know:\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen is the USA-Belgium World Cup game?\n\n\n\nThe U.S. and Belgium will meet on Monday, July 6.\n\n\n\nWhat time is the USA-Belgium World Cup game?\n\n\n\nKickoff time is slated for 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.\n\n\n\nWhere is the USA-Belgium World Cup game?\n\n\n\nSeattle is the host city for the game. The U.S. has already played there once this tournament, beating Australia 2-0 in its second group game.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere to watch the USA-Belgium World Cup game on TV, online\n\n\n\nFox will broadcast and stream the game in English. Telemundo will broadcast the game in Spanish, with streaming available on Peacock.\n\n\n\nWho are the key players in USA vs. Belgium?\n\n\n\nFor the U.S., Mauricio Pochettino’s 3-4-2-1 formation is key to optimize Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun up top. Those two will need adequate support from Malik Tillman, scorer of a free kick vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina, and wingbacks Sergino Dest and Antonee Robinson.\n\n\n\nBelgium is led by veterans Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne and Thibaut Courtois. Leandro Trossard and Jeremy Doku form the winger pairing, while midfielder Youri Tielemans logged a brace in a 3-2 comeback win vs. Senegal in the Round of 32. That game also transpired in Seattle.\n\n\n\nThe Red Devils topped a Group G that included Egypt, Iran and New Zealand, but only managed one win — a 5-1 rout of the All Whites. \n\n\n\nThe U.S. can definitely use youth and speed to their advantage as Belgium have oftentimes looked too slow to truly be a real threat. The home crowd support will also be crucial, with Spain or Portugal possibly up next.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/usa-belgium-tv-channel-stream-time/4045031/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Sanjesh Singh","publishDate":"2026-07-05T16:25:21.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fusa-belgium-world-cup-getty-7526.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2250%2C1269","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"when-is-the-usa-belgium-game-how-to-watch-key-players-and-more"},{"id":"vbr9i0","title":"Texas Stock Exchange begins test trades as part of staged rollout","excerpt":"Texas’ challenge to Wall Street has taken another step toward reality.","content":"Texas’ challenge to Wall Street has taken another step toward reality.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/texas-stock-exchange-opens","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Aaron.Barker@fox.com (Aaron Barker)","publishDate":"2026-07-06T16:56:12.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Ftexas-stocks-generic.png","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"texas-stock-exchange-begins-test-trades-as-part-of-staged-rollout"},{"id":"kcep2w","title":"Woman saved after surviving for days trapped in muddy Dallas ravine","excerpt":"A collaborative rescue operation between Dallas police officers and firefighters saved the life of a young woman who had been trapped for days in a steep ravine, authorities said.","content":"A collaborative rescue operation between Dallas police officers and firefighters saved the life of a young woman who had been trapped for days in a steep ravine, authorities said.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/woman-saved-after-surviving-days-trapped-muddy-dallas-ravine","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Amber.Kite@fox.com (Amber Kite)","publishDate":"2026-07-06T15:28:43.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fdallasfirerescue.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"woman-saved-after-surviving-for-days-trapped-in-muddy-dallas-ravine"},{"id":"7ihv6q","title":"Fight over woman leads to deadly shooting at Fourth of July gathering, police say","excerpt":"A person is dead and another is injured after a fight over a woman led to a deadly shooting on July 4th, the Fort Worth Police Department says.\n\n\n\nPolice said they were called to a shooting in the 5900 block of Wilbarger Street at about 8:18 p.m. When officers arrived, they reported a large gathe...","content":"A person is dead and another is injured after a fight over a woman led to a deadly shooting on July 4th, the Fort Worth Police Department says.\n\n\n\nPolice said they were called to a shooting in the 5900 block of Wilbarger Street at about 8:18 p.m. When officers arrived, they reported a large gathering of people. \n\n\n\nAccording to police, two men were arguing over a woman when they both pulled out guns and shot each other.\n\n\n\nOne man died at the scene, and the other was taken to the hospital in an unknown condition.\n\n\n\nAt the time, authorities did not release any information regarding the ages or identification of the two men involved.

Beginning Monday, the focus shifts to whether there is enough evidence for a trial and if the death penalty is warranted, said Paul Cassell, a University of Utah law professor and former federal judge.\n\n\n\nCassell said evidence made public to date in court filings suggests prosecutors have “an overwhelming case.”\n\n\n\n“This seems like the proverbial slam dunk at this stage of the case, where the only issue is whether there is a sound basis for moving forward with a trial on the merits,” he said.\n\n\n\nA death sentence is an option in Utah only when a crime has aggravating circumstances. Prosecutors will argue in Robinson’s case that Kirk’s shooting endangered others in attendance.\n\n\n\nThe proceeding will resemble a minitrial, with prosecutors planning to offer DNA evidence linking Robinson to the suspected murder weapon, testimony from investigators, autopsy findings, witness statements and video of Kirk’s killing. They are not required to present all their evidence and can use secondhand information, or hearsay.\n\n\n\nAfter the hearing concludes, state District Judge Tony Graf must determine if the case should proceed. \n\n\n\nReporters and the public will be allowed to attend after Graf denied a defense request to restrict access.\n\n\n\nKirk’s killing drew backlash from his Republican allies, including President Donald Trump, who first announced Robinson’s arrest in a Sept. 12 interview on Fox News and said, “I hope he gets the death penalty.” \n\n\n\nThis week prosecutors need only demonstrate that there are reasonable grounds to believe Robinson killed Kirk. The standard is lower than for a trial, where prosecutors have to prove guilt “beyond a reasonable doubt.”\n\n\n\nAuthorities have said DNA consistent with Robinson’s was found on the trigger of the rifle used to kill Kirk, the fired cartridge casing, two unfired cartridges and a towel used to wrap the rifle. \n\n\n\nRobinson’s parents had confronted him after authorities released a surveillance photo of the suspect and details about the rifle, authorities have said. His parents convinced him to meet with a family friend, who is a retired sheriff’s deputy, who reportedly helped arrange for Robinson to turn himself in.\n\n\n\nProsecutors have said Robinson left a note for his roommate, who was also his romantic partner, that read, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.” They also said he wrote to his roommate in a text message about Kirk: “I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.”\n\n\n\nDefense attorneys unsuccessfully sought to block prosecutors from using recorded statements from Robinson’s roommate during the hearing. The defense wanted the roommate to testify in person so Robinson could exercise his right challenge the credibility of witnesses against him. Graf said the time for challenging witnesses would come later.\n\n\n\nBefore his death, Kirk and the organization he co-founded, Turning Point USA, galvanized the conservative youth vote to help Trump win a second term. \n\n\n\nHis widow, Erika Kirk, who took the helm of the organization after his death, pushed to maintain public access to Robinson’s prosecution when defense attorneys sought to exclude cameras from the courtroom. She forgave Robinson during her husband’s memorial service.\n\n\n\nShe is expected in court throughout the week with her husband’s parents, Robert and Kathryn Kirk, according to a person familiar with the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/prosecutors-case-against-man-accused-killing-charlie-kirk/4044988/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Matthew Brown and Hannah Schoenbaum | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-05T12:39:39.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F05%2FGettyImages-2234255101-e1779312946223.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4928%2C2776","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"prosecutors-to-lay-out-their-case-against-the-man-accused-of-killing-charlie-kirk"},{"id":"j5a2nt","title":"Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's love story, from friendship bracelets to wedding rings","excerpt":"What started with a friendship bracelet has resulted in wedding rings.

The news was announced to the public with the marquee outside the Midtown Manhattan arena reading “JUST&T MARRIED.”\n\n\n\nIt is the latest chapter in the couple’s love story, one that has spanned three years, two Super Bowls, an album announcement and the highest-grossing tour of all time.\n\n\n\nHere is a look at some of the major events in their relationship.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTaylor Swift\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 4\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTaylor Swift and Travis Kelce appear to gift wedding guests sentimental lyric‑etched keepsake\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTaylor Swift\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 4\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wore for their star‑studded wedding.

The podcast asked on Instagram: “Anyone know how to get a bracelet to @taylorswift13? … asking for a friend.”\n\n\n\nDrivin’ the getaway car\n\n\n\nBut by that September, Kelce was hinting his efforts had achieved some success. He declined to elaborate amid speculation, telling an interviewer: “It is what it is.”\n\n\n\nClearly, though, something was happening. Soon, Kelce revealed he’d invited Swift to a game at Arrowhead. “I threw the ball in her court,” he said on another talk show.\n\n\n\nSwift took Kelce up on his offer, appearing for all the world to see at the Chiefs-Bears game, cheering next to his mom, Donna Kelce. The two left the stadium in Kelce’s purple Chevelle “getaway car” — forgive the pun, but Kelce himself used it.\n\n\n\n“Pretty ballsy,” Kelce said a few days later of Swift’s appearance, adding how much he loved seeing her cheer next to his mother.\n\n\n\nIt was the launch of a long series of appearances by Swift at Chiefs games. There was some online angst over whether Swift was distracting from football — while the NFL itself capitalized on her fandom. A day after the flashy Los Angeles premiere of her “Taylor Swift: Eras Tour” movie, she was back at Arrowhead.\n\n\n\n\n\nKarma is the guy on the Chiefs\n\n\n\nAnd now it was time for Kelce to be the adoring fan. In November 2023, after a hiatus of two months, Swift brought her tour to Argentina, where she changed the lyrics of “Karma” to salute her beau. “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me,” she sang. Scott Swift, next to a beaming Kelce, applauded his daughter’s new flame.\n\n\n\nWhen Time magazine announced its person of the year, few were surprised. In the Time interview, Swift spoke about her relationship.\n\n\n\n“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Swift said, adding that they’d already been a couple before that first Chiefs game cameo.\n\n\n\nSoon after, things were heating up on the football field — meaning the Chiefs were heading to the Super Bowl. At the AFC championship game, the couple made it clear they were fine with whatever attention was coming their way. In the middle of the field in Baltimore, after the Chiefs beat the Ravens, Swift and Kelce kissed. “I love you,” Kelce said. “So much it’s not funny.”\n\n\n\nA race across nine time zones\n\n\n\nThere was one game left. Fans wondered: How would Swift make it from her Tokyo shows to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas?\n\n\n\n“This week is truly the best kind of chaos,” Swift posted on Instagram.\n\n\n\nChaos indeed. In one week of February 2024, Swift attended the Grammys in Los Angeles, jetted to Tokyo for four concerts, then jumped back onto her private plane to make the Super Bowl with time to spare. To get there, she crossed nine time zones and the international dateline.\n\n\n\n“She’s rewriting the history books herself,” Kelce said a day after the Grammys, where Swift had won album of the year for a record fourth time. “I told her I’ll have to hold up my end of the bargain and come home with hardware, too.”\n\n\n\nAnd he did. The two kissed on the field again after the Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers, Swift in her “87” necklace.\n\n\n\nOn the road again\n\n\n\nWithin days, Swift was on the road again, with Kelce joining her in Australia for some koala-cuddling at the zoo.\n\n\n\nIn Paris, Swift introduced a section from “The Tortured Poets Department,” her new album. Fans wondered if Kelce had made his way into some of its lyrics — like “You knew what you wanted and, boy, you got her,” from “So High School.”\n\n\n\nBut the highlight came in June, during a celebrity-packed set of concerts in London. There, Kelce made his Eras stage debut, donning a tuxedo and top hat and carrying Swift in his arms during a choreographed bit before “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”\n\n\n\n“I’m still cracking up/swooning,” Swift wrote later on Instagram.\n\n\n\n\n\n‘Happiness and fun and magic’\n\n\n\nAs for Kelce, he spoke with pride about the relationship, noting on the “Bussin’ with the Boys” podcast that he had no desire to hide anything.\n\n\n\n“That’s my girl,” he said. “That’s my lady. I’m proud of that.”\n\n\n\nSwift echoed that emotion when she accepted an MTV Video Music Award last September, shouting out “my boyfriend Travis” in her speech.\n\n\n\n“Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic,” she said.\n\n\n\n‘I am just a jamoke supporting his girlfriend’\n\n\n\nThroughout the summer and fall of 2024, Kelce attended a number of Swift’s remaining tour dates and mentioned her on “New Heights,” officially referring to her as “his girlfriend” in a July episode.\n\n\n\n“She is every bit of what everyone makes her out to be. She’s so awesome. Some of these people you meet, and you’re just like, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing here,’” he said. “You are unbelievable, your talent is unbelievable, how you present yourself is unbelievable and I am just a jamoke supporting his girlfriend.”\n\n\n\nSwift, too, was regularly photographed attending Kelce’s games — including the 2025 Super Bowl.\n\n\n\nLights, camera, action, football\n\n\n\nA month post-Super Bowl, the couple made their red-carpet debut at the Tight End University in June, an annual three-day training summit founded by Kelce, George Kittle and Greg Olsen.\n\n\n\nThey were then spotted at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, where Swift hopped on stage to perform “Shake it Off” with country singer Kane Brown. For fans, it marked yet another moment of the couple showing very public support and admiration for one another.\n\n\n\n’The Life of a Showgirl’\n\n\n\nA couple that collaborates together, stays together.\n\n\n\nSwift announced her highly anticipated 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” in mid-August and included Kelce in the rollout. It began with a tease from “New Heights,” which later revealed Swift would appear in an episode the following day.\n\n\n\nSwift told the Kelce brothers she wanted to show them something, revealing a mint-green briefcase that featured her initials in orange. Jason Kelce asked what was in it, prompting her to pull out a vinyl record.\n\n\n\n’Our jobs are very similar’\n\n\n\nIn the two-hour “New Heights” episode featuring Swift, she went into detail about the pair’s summer following the Super Bowl. She said she spent considerable time in Florida with Travis Kelce. She also said “our jobs are very similar”: They revolve around entertaining “people for three hours in NFL stadiums.”\n\n\n\nOn her self-described “favorite podcast,” Swift credited “New Heights” for getting her a boyfriend. “This is sort of what I’ve been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager,” she said of their romance.\n\n\n\nAnd Kelce credited the tour for, well, getting him a girlfriend. “I see you on that stage and see how you can get an entire stadium going, and then I get you in a room and it’s like I’ve known you forever,” he said. “It’s the easiest conversation I ever had, and it was just so much fun that it knocked my socks off.”\n\n\n\nJock, meet writer\n\n\n\nIn late August, in a five-photo carousel shared to both Swift and Kelce’s official Instagram accounts, the couple announced their engagement. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” she wrote in her caption.\n\n\n\nA wedding at MSG\n\n\n\nThe idea seemed too crazy for even the most open-minded Swifty — a wedding at Madison Square Garden? Really? Yet as the July Fourth weekend approached, one of New York’s iconic venues began buzzing with activity as crews shuttled equipment into the giant, private space and a law enforcement official confirmed to the AP that Swift and Kelce’s wedding would be taking place on Friday, July 3. \n\n\n\nThe couple did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen, instead opting for Swift’s brother to serve as her man of honor and Kelce’s brother Jason serving as his best man. Actor Adam Sandler officiated the star-packed ceremony.\n\n\n\nAccording to Swift’s publicist, Swift and Kelce’s outfits were designed by Christian Dior Haute Couture and its designer Jonathan Anderson with shoes custom-made by Christian Louboutin. Swift wore Cartier jewelry.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-love-story-friendship-bracelet-wedding-rings/4044986/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Jocelyn Noveck, Maria Sherman and Kimberlee Kruesi | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-05T12:32:38.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2025%2F09%2FGettyImages-2004247309-e1758490836577.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4616%2C2596","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"taylor-swift-and-travis-kelces-love-story-from-friendship-bracelets-to-wedding-rings"},{"id":"82t0md","title":"Trump's administration won't seek new bids to repair the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool","excerpt":"The Trump administration will not seek new bids to repair the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said Sunday as he faced new questions about the troubled project and the taxpayer money involved.\n\n\n\nLike President Donald Trump, Burgum said he was 100% sure that vandal...","content":"The Trump administration will not seek new bids to repair the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said Sunday as he faced new questions about the troubled project and the taxpayer money involved.\n\n\n\nLike President Donald Trump, Burgum said he was 100% sure that vandals caused the damage to the century-old Reflecting Pool on the National Mall. Trump has charged that a 350-foot gash was cut into the pool’s liner in the midst of recent renovations, while Burgum described it as multiple cuts adding up to that figure. He also said the pool would have to be at least partially drained in the coming week to finish the repairs. \n\n\n\nThe repairs will not be opened up to new contractors, he said.\n\n\n\n“We’ll use the same company, because they did a fantastic job,” Burgum told CNN’s “State of the Union.” ”Thankfully, the vandalism was small. It was bad. I mean, it could cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair, so then it could fall into a felony … just like damaging any other government property could. But the job that was done to fix the Reflecting Pool was done extremely well.” \n\n\n\nTrump this spring pledged to beautify the Reflecting Pool before the nation’s 250th birthday celebrations on July Fourth. Water was drained and the Republican president directed that the bottom be painted a color he called “American flag blue.” But after the site was restored, the water was plagued by an algae bloom for more than a week, and pieces of the new coating have appeared to be peeling off the bottom.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump administration\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 2\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tU.S. Olympic canoeist David ‘Davey' Hearn charged in Reflecting Pool vandalism\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nThe pool was closed for the Independence Day celebration, but Burgum said that was due to a safety issue related to the fireworks.\n\n\n\nThe evolving debate over the Reflecting Pool has inflamed the broader fight over Trump’s aggressive push to overhaul Washington landmarks, including the White House, nearly two years into his final term in office. \n\n\n\nAuthorities have arrested more than a half dozen people in relation to Reflecting Pool damage, including former Olympian David Hearn, who was indicted last week on a felony of property destruction.\n\n\n\nThe top federal prosecutor in the District of Columbia, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, said Hearn ripped up recently installed sealant on the pool in “a deliberate act” that caused more than $1,000 in damage. She accused him of “forcefully and violently” pulling up the bottom liner “with both hands” and acting belligerently toward an employee who told him to stop. \n\n\n\nHearn’s lawyers, Democracy Defenders Fund co-founder Norm Eisen and Mary Dohrmann, said the charges were “outrageous and should be alarming to every American.” Eisen and Dohrmann construed the case as representative of “the misuse of government power against an ordinary citizen based on a concocted narrative.”\n\n\n\nBurgum was asked and did not answer directly whether there was photographic evidence of vandals cutting the pool’s liner. He was also asked whether Hearn should face a 10-year prison sentence, which is the maximum legal penalty for his charge.\n\n\n\n“Just because you were a former something doesn’t exclude you from the law today,” Burgum told CNN. “The courts will decide.” \n\n\n\nMeanwhile, questions loom over the no-bid contracts for the project that were awarded to vendors with prior ties to Trump.\n\n\n\nOhio-based Green Water Solutions, also known as Greenwater Services, was given a $1.7 million contract to install a water-purification system in the Reflecting Pool, while Virginia-based Atlantic Industrial Coatings was awarded $14.7 million to repaint and waterproof the pool’s concrete floor.\n\n\n\nAbout 10 Democratic senators and House members are investigating the pool project.\n\n\n\n“Taxpayers deserve a full explanation of how these failures occurred and who will be held accountable for correcting them,″ said a letter signed last month by six senators.\n\n\n\nBurgum also appeared on ABC’s “This Week.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/trumps-administration-wont-seek-new-bids-to-repair-the-lincoln-memorial-reflecting-pool/4044991/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Steve Peoples | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-05T12:04:03.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2284510883.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3700%2C2467","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"trumps-administration-wont-seek-new-bids-to-repair-the-lincoln-memorial-reflecting-pool"},{"id":"xcpcee","title":"Folarin Balogun available to play for USMNT vs. Belgium after suspension lifted","excerpt":"Folarin Balogun will play in the round of 16 after all.\n\n\n\nThe American star will have his one-game red-card ban suspended, Dan Sheldon and Adam Crafton of The Athletic reported and U.S. Soccer later confirmed Sunday.\n\n\n\n“We accept the decision of the Disciplinary Committee and are pleased that F...","content":"Folarin Balogun will play in the round of 16 after all.\n\n\n\nThe American star will have his one-game red-card ban suspended, Dan Sheldon and Adam Crafton of The Athletic reported and U.S. Soccer later confirmed Sunday.\n\n\n\n“We accept the decision of the Disciplinary Committee and are pleased that Folarin Balogun is eligible to compete tomorrow,” the federation said in a statement. “Our full attention is focused on the Round of 16 match against Belgium in Seattle, and we look forward to the continued support of our amazing fans.”\n\n\n\nBalogun was sent off in the round of 32 against Bosnia and Herzegovina for a foul on defender Tarik Muharemovic, which is typically an automatic one-game suspension under Article 10.5 of FIFA’s rules for the tournament.\n\n\n\nNow, despite the fact that the team could not appeal a red card or suspension, Balogun will be available for the round of 16 game against Belgium on Monday.\n\n\n\nBalogun was not given a red card initially for the incident, but was sent off upon a review with the referee saying he had committed a “serious foul.” On the play, he inadvertently landed on the back of Muharemovic’s leg and stepped down on his ankle.\n\n\n\nArticle 27 of FIFA’s disciplinary code states that “the judicial body may decide to fully or partially suspend the implementation of a disciplinary measure.”\n\n\n\nBalogun leads the U.S. with three goals in the World Cup, including one in the round of 32 before his red card. He’s the only player on the team with more than one goal so far in the tournament.\n\n\n\nAccording to NBC News sources, President Donald Trump called FIFA President Gianni Infantino on Wednesday and asked that he review the suspension. Trump and Infantino are close, and the head of the soccer governing body notably awarded Trump with the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize last year in Washington D.C.\n\n\n\nTrump, the White House and its allies have posted various messages on social media celebrating FIFA’s decision today, including one that said: “No man left behind.

But they’re also doing a lot of chewing, delighting their hosts with rave reviews of North American cuisine.\n\n\n\n“It’s greasy, it’s disgusting, but it’s absolutely glorious,” Jack Goodwin, a soccer enthusiast from London, said about the American food he has tried in Dallas, Boston, New York and Atlanta.\n\n\n\n“I don’t want to say this because it’s a little bit harsh, but the portions are a little bit larger — a lot more tastier — so I can understand the, um, obesity here. I don’t want to be harsh, but yes, the food is fantastic here.”\n\n\n\nInternational visitors want to try popular fast-food chains and local gems\n\n\n\nMany fans are making a point to try regional specialties or chains they can’t find where they live, like In-N-Out Burger or Buc-ee’s convenience stores. Erling Haaland, a striker for Norway’s World Cup team, posted a photo on X of himself outside Katz’s Delicatessen in New York.\n\n\n\nHarrison Murphy, who was traveling from London with his brother for the knockout rounds, had breakfast at a Chick-fil-A in Atlanta this week.\n\n\n\n“Have you had Chick-fil-A? It was fantastic and so cheap. The sauces are free! It was remarkable,” Murphy said. “I said, ‘This is my first time, what should I try?’ The woman said, ‘You’ve got to try the Chick-fil-A sauce.’ My God, was it fantastic.”\n\n\n\nGary Bishop had never heard of poutine — often considered Canada’s national dish — until he arrived in Toronto for the World Cup. But the Glasgow, Scotland, resident proclaimed it “absolutely delicious.”\n\n\n\n“It was like chips with gravy, cheese. But it was a really thick gravy. Different from back home. Vinegar, there was lots of vinegar through it,” said Bishop, who was sporting a Scotland jersey on a recent stroll through Toronto’s FIFA Fan Festival. “Really nice.”\n\n\n\nOthers are looking for a taste of home. Texas beer distributor Andrews Distributing welcomed a bus full of Dutch fans to its Dallas warehouse for Heinekens and dancing.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWorld Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 19\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWorld Cup fans joke about gaining ‘The FIFA 15' as they try ranch and other American foods\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 5\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMany soccer fans will be drinking alcohol and watching the World Cup.

Fans from Scotland, Brazil, England and elsewhere have lined up for his famous lobster rolls and taken photos with staff members, Barker said.\n\n\n\n“Food becomes a natural conversation starter,” he said. “It’s just been incredible for us to be part of this.”\n\n\n\nSome chains are leaning into the World Cup. Waffle House, the all-day breakfast chain with 2,000 restaurants across the South, opened a pop-up shop in downtown Atlanta to sell branded soccer balls, jerseys and patriotic gear. In a statement, the chain said it was “honored by the enthusiasm and curiosity” shown by visiting fans.\n\n\n\nFor other restaurants, World Cup fever has been a delightful surprise. Whataburger, a Texas-based chain with 1,100 locations, found itself in the spotlight after fans from Japan and elsewhere posted on social media about their visits.\n\n\n\n“The attention has been completely organic and honestly pretty entertaining,” Whataburger President and CEO Debbie Stroud said. “We knew the World Cup would bring the world to Texas and our footprint across 17 states. We just didn’t realize so many visitors would leave talking about a patty melt.”\n\n\n\n\n\nEating barbecue is high on the bucket lists of foreign foodies\n\n\n\nTerry Black’s Barbecue, a small Texas chain, figured authentic barbecue would be on many fans’ must-try lists. It started sourcing extra meat more than a month ago for its locations in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, which are each about 20 minutes from the stadium where World Cup matches are played.\n\n\n\nIt takes Terry Black’s four days to season and prepare its beef brisket and 12 hours to barbecue it. The chain also smokes turkey, pork and sausages on its pits, which run 24 hours a day.\n\n\n\nThe crush of World Cup fans has meant a lot of extra planning, said Darien Kapture, the chain’s senior vice president of food and beverage operations. But it’s also meant a lot of excitement, like the night Argentina supporters packed Terry Black’s Dallas location to celebrate the team’s victory over Austria, Kapture said.\n\n\n\n“They were hooting and hollering and praising the brisket,” Kapture said. “It’s great to see that these folks are coming to America and getting to experience what we experience every day.”\n\n\n\nGoodwin, the visitor from London who said he “blew his mortgage” on a U.S. World Cup tour with his dad, deemed Terry Black’s barbecue “the most gorgeous food ever.”\n\n\n\n“The best food we’ve had here is in Dallas,” Goodwin said. “Texas barbecue. Unbelievable.”\n\n\n\nTSA reminds ranch dressing converts not to pack bottles in carry-on bags\n\n\n\nNot every review has been positive. Some fans have complained about the high price of food in World Cup stadiums, for example. A British fan told the BBC that the breakfast tea he bought from Dunkin’ was “not great.”\n\n\n\nBut for the most part, there have been more thumbs up than thumbs down. So many World Cup visitors expressed love for ranch dressing, for example, that the Transportation Security Administration issued a light-hearted reminder that tourists should pack bottles of dressing in their checked bags.\n\n\n\n\n\nAP Sports Writer Maura Carey contributed from Atlanta.

Hundreds of thousands of people followed along with her journey on social media, where she shared the highs, lows and quirks of her trek in videos taken as she bobbed alone on the vast ocean. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPfendler appears to have broken both the previous women’s speed record as well as the men’s speed record, according to records maintained by Ocean Rowing Society International, which adjudicates ocean-rowing achievements for Guinness World Records. The organization didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press about Pfendler’s finish.\n\n\n\nThe rowing society’s online records showed Saturday morning that Pfendler finished in just under 44 days, faster than the previous comparable female record holder’s 86 days or the male record holder’s 52 days as recorded by both the society and Guinness World Records.\n\n\n\nPfendler’s video diaries explained the logistics of her passage and survival on the ocean. She detailed challenges including blistered hands, the struggle to sleep amid stiff winds and the mental and physical struggle of coping with sometimes-unfavorable currents and wind. She explained how she cooked, protected her skin from the sun, washed her clothes and made fresh water. \n\n\n\nIn some videos, her voice cracked with emotion. In others, she poked fun at her own forehead hat tan line and joked about the importance of her caffeine pills.\n\n\n\nPfendler’s website says she has been a professional raft guide since she was 18 and has spent the last eight years leading trips along the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. \n\n\n\n“I just love boats in the middle of nowhere,” she said in one video.\n\n\n\nLocal news outlets reported Pfendler was eventually expected to address the media. An emailed interview request sent to Pfendler’s team was not immediately returned.\n\n\n\nIn a recent video posted as she neared Oahu, she reflected on the meaning of her accomplishment and what she hoped others would take from it. \n\n\n\n“If any part of this made at least one person feel a little bit more powerful in their own skin, I couldn’t ask for anything else and I’m happy,” she said. “Think about trying to find your own big, hard, scary thing. You might not think that you are strong enough to finish it right now, but you’re definitely strong enough to start it, and you’ll find everything else along the way. I’m going to go finish my big, hard scary thing.”\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/female-american-rower-completes-record-breaking-solo-journey-california-hawaii/4044966/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-05T10:29:46.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2226837537.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4990%2C2804","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"female-american-rower-completes-record-breaking-solo-journey-from-california-to-hawaii"},{"id":"la2vn0","title":"Dietitians share 12 healthy, no-cook proteins for filling meals on hot days","excerpt":"Whether it’s boiling hot out or you’re just exhausted, it pays to have some convenient protein options ready to go.

But we also need protein “to support the immune system, it’s helpful in hormone production, digestion and appetite control,” she adds.\n\n\n\nAnd while our individual protein needs can vary widely, it’s something that all of us should strive to get throughout the day at every meal rather “lumping everything together at one meal,” says Susie, who is a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.\n\n\n\nOf course, that’s often easier said than done, which is where convenient, no-cook proteins come in especially handy.\n\n\n\n“It can be challenging for some people to meet their protein goals,” Susie says, “and I think two barriers to that are time and effort.” Being able to knock out at least one of those barriers by using proteins that don’t require cooking can be a huge win.\n\n\n\nHere are a few delicious, nutritious no-cook protein options that dietitians love.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDiet & Exercise\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 1\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe No. 1 plant-based protein to help build and maintain muscle, according to a dietitian\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDiet & Exercise\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 24\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t9 fruits with the most prebiotics, according to dietitians\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nHealthy no-cook proteins\n\n\n\nCanned beans\n\n\n\nVersatile and packed with both protein and fiber, beans are an obvious choice. “I always have black beans at my house because I’m always doing some nod to a Tex-Mex meal,” Susie says, like her turkey taco bake. But they’re also great in salads and crock pot meals.\n\n\n\nBlack beans are also a go-to for Natalie Rizzo, registered dietitian and TODAY nutrition editor. She uses them in easy weeknight dinners, like tacos and quesadillas.\n\n\n\nSusie also recommends blending your beans to make dips or sandwich spreads, particularly pinto beans.\n\n\n\nRotisserie chicken\n\n\n\nSusie calls store-bought rotisserie chicken an “unsung hero” of convenient no-cook proteins. “I’m working full time, I travel for my job and I’m a caretaker,” she says. Rotisserie chickens offer a simple, high-protein main on their own, but they can also be used in so many different types of recipes, like casseroles, wraps and chicken salad.\n\n\n\nFrozen peas\n\n\n\nWhile we often think of peas as a vegetable, they have more in common nutritionally with beans and legumes. That means they are actually a good source of plant protein, Rizzo says. She always has frozen ones on-hand, and often mixes them into dishes like pasta and fried rice for more filling protein and fiber.\n\n\n\nGreek yogurt\n\n\n\nCool, tangy and full of protein, a Greek yogurt bowl is a perfect no-cook meal on a hot day. But that’s just the beginning, Susie says. You can use plain Greek yogurt in place of mayo or sour cream to add extra protein to your favorite tuna salad, for instance, or as a spread on a sandwich.\n\n\n\nCanned chickpeas\n\n\n\nWhen she’s in a rush to make a quick lunch, Rizzo reaches for canned chickpeas, which she often mashes onto toast or into a pita. “I’ll end up mashing it up with something, like lemon juice and avocado,” she says. “Sometimes I’ll put a little buffalo sauce in there.”\n\n\n\nMilk\n\n\n\nA cup of milk contains 8 grams of filling protein, so your milk and cereal can be an easy yet high-protein snack. For the healthiest option, choose whole-grain cereal with as little added sugar as possible. The whole grains provide an extra protein and fiber boost. And if you prefer non-dairy milk, both soy and pea milk are also high in protein, Rizzo says.\n\n\n\nPumpkin seeds\n\n\n\nCrunchy pumpkin seeds topped TODAY.com’s list of high-protein seeds, providing 8 grams of protein per ounce. But they’re also full of magnesium, dietitians explained previously. Grab a handful of pumpkin seeds as a snack or try sprinkling some on your yogurt or salad.\n\n\n\nCanned tuna\n\n\n\nTinned fish, like canned tuna or salmon, is a convenient way to get some healthy protein in your day, particularly if packed in water or olive oil. But don’t sleep on other tinned fish, like sardines and mackerel, which dietitians previously ranked among the healthiest canned or tinned fish you can eat. All of these options are packed with protein, with around 20 grams or more per serving.\n\n\n\nFrozen edamame\n\n\n\nThese vibrant and tasty immature soybeans are among Rizzo’s favorite plant-based protein snacks. “They’re fun to eat and really satisfying,” Rizzo says. Edamame pack about 9 grams of protein in a serving.\n\n\n\nCottage cheese\n\n\n\nLike Greek yogurt, cottage cheese is creamy and packed with filling protein. You can eat it as is, or try whipping it into an herby dip using a food processor or blender. You can also fold cottage cheese into eggs before scrambling them to double the protein in your meal.\n\n\n\nTofu\n\n\n\nA classic plant-based protein source, tofu is also one of the most versatile options. You can cook it in a variety of ways, of course, but you can also eat it raw, Rizzo says. Choose the softer, silken tofu, which has a custard-like texture, and serve it cold with a flavorful sauce. Or you can blend it into a smoothie with fruit to add protein.\n\n\n\nAlmonds\n\n\n\nWhen Rizzo ranked the high-protein nuts previously, almonds were among the top three choices. One serving of almonds contains 6 grams of protein along with 4 grams of fiber. But if you’re not a fan of almonds, give pistachios or peanuts a try instead — all three were almost tied.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNo-cook proteins dietitians avoid\n\n\n\nWhile all foods can fit in a healthy diet, there are some protein sources that the dietitians say should not be your first choice — even if they are convenient.\n\n\n\nProcessed meat\n\n\n\nProcessed meat includes meat sticks, which are seemingly everywhere these days, but they’re quite high in sodium, Susie says. And they’re considered ultraprocessed food, which has been linked to serious health conditions. Of course, if you’re on a road trip, a meat stick can be a filling high-protein snack, Susie says. But, generally, you should try to choose other options.\n\n\n\nProcessed protein snacks\n\n\n\nSometimes it feels like every snack out there — from popcorn to Pop Tarts — has extra protein in it. And, because protein has a bit of a “health halo” right now, that might make you think these foods are healthier than they are. But, Susie says, they still contain the same amount of calories, saturated fat, added sugar and sodium. Adding protein doesn’t erase that.\n\n\n\n“You need to look at it as a whole,” Susie says. “(Even if) they maybe add a little protein, it’s still probably not the best choice.”\n\n\n\nProtein bars\n\n\n\nAs with meat sticks, there is a time and place for protein bars, Susie says. They are undeniable convenient and can be the perfect thing to keep in your bag on an airplane, for instance. But not all of them are made equally. Looking at the calories and fat in the bars, “I hate to say it, but some of them really can be glorified candy bars,” Susie says.\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com.

England has tried to keep secret its base hotel to prevent Mexican supporters from repeating the unbearable serenade they gave Ecuador the night before that match. Some English fans have said on social media that they fear Mexico more than Brazil.\n\n\n\nWhile memes are multiplying, pitting iconic figures from each country against each other — Cantinflas versus James Bond, Freddie Mercury versus Juan Gabriel — and bands like Oasis and Maná have started their predictions, Mexico fans haven’t stopped celebrating since the team’s victory in the opening match against South Africa.\n\n\n\nSome might think the viral videos showing the Mexican euphoria are made by artificial intelligence, says David Cávita, 26, but no. “Here, they can make anything fly,” he said, referring to the trend of fans being tossed into the air and then caught by the crowd.\n\n\n\n“The vibe here … I’ve never felt anything like it, never in my life, for anything,” says his friend, Esteban Bautista, 21, an engineering student. “We can have the best World Cup ever at home.”\n\n\n\nMexico and the World Cup: an ‘overflowing infatuation’ \n\n\n\nThe power of soccer to unite and inspire is well known, but some believe that in Mexico it goes even further.\n\n\n\n“What we’re seeing is like a passionate, overflowing infatuation,” especially among young people who want to feel part of something, leave their frustrations behind, and are supporting a team marked by youth, explains Carlos Cruz, 54, founder of a nonprofit that works with teenagers and now a city official.\n\n\n\nMexico has the youngest player in the tournament, 17-year-old Gilberto Mora, and a naturalized Mexican citizen from a region of Colombia known for drug violence and poverty, Julián Quiñones, both symbols for many, says Cruz.\n\n\n\n“Mora is the one who gave us that hope that Mexicans can achieve anything they want,” says Areli Navarrete, a teenager who only recently became interested in football.\n\n\n\n\n\n“We have a team that has played with passion … and we are eager, anxious, desperate for something to celebrate,” said Omar Gutiérrez, a 46-year-old market analyst who played in the youth ranks of several Mexican teams.\n\n\n\nTaking to the streets\n\n\n\nDespite the four deaths when more than a million people took to the streets to celebrate Mexico’s victory against Ecuador Tuesday, no one doubts that the capital’s center will be even more crowded on Sunday. \n\n\n\nFrancisco Guerra’s sons, the 15-year-old triplets Patricio, Jerónimo, and Juan Pablo, have watched three games live, wearing the jerseys of their second-favorite national teams, such as Germany and England, although the latter — Patricio jokes — might end up burned on Sunday. The family has strong ties with an English family with whom they share a chat group that is currently muted.\n\n\n\nThey dream of going to the Angel of Independence — the iconic location for the celebrations — to see Sunday’s game. Their father is reluctant, although Mexico City has promised more security measures and capped attendance.\n\n\n\nJoshua Zayas, 19, will definitely go. He says all it takes is a little caution. “We’ll buy foam, jump around, dance and de-stress, especially now that we just finished the semester at university. It’s really nice to see how we can come together.”\n\n\n\nAnd if Mexico doesn’t win?\n\n\n\n“We’ll be incredibly depressed, and who knows how we’ll react,” Zayas said. “But let’s hope they do advance.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/mexico-fans-dream-what-if-we-do-world-cup/4044916/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"María Verza | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-04T21:26:43.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26181779445851.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C685","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"mexico-fans-dream-of-more-wins-in-the-world-cup-singing-what-if-we-do"},{"id":"1i4jf8","title":"Record heat suspected in over 20 deaths as severe weather puts damper on Fourth of July festivities","excerpt":"Record-setting heat is suspected in 22 deaths from the Deep South to the Midwest to the East Coast, authorities said, with the temperature highs also suppressing some Fourth of July celebrations. \n\n\n\nNearly 156 million people in the eastern two-thirds of the nation were under heat alerts issued b...","content":"Record-setting heat is suspected in 22 deaths from the Deep South to the Midwest to the East Coast, authorities said, with the temperature highs also suppressing some Fourth of July celebrations. \n\n\n\nNearly 156 million people in the eastern two-thirds of the nation were under heat alerts issued by the National Weather Service on Saturday. A high-pressure dome of heat parked over the country was pushing air downward, heating it as it descends and resulting in temperatures of more than 100 degrees in some places, including the District of Columbia; Norfolk, Virginia; and Raleigh, North Carolina.\n\n\n\nIn Washington, D.C., which was hosting Salute to America 250 festivities at the National Mall celebrating a Fourth of July that marks 250 years of independence, emergency workers and members of the National Guard were seen rendering aid to attendees with heat-related ailments. \n\n\n\nA man yelled, “Emergency! Coming through!” as he helped clear the crowds for a woman on a stretcher.\n\n\n\nGeneral seating was under a beating sun, and the temperature of chairs was measured at 160 degrees. Pallets of bottled water were seen stocked in the sunlight.\n\n\n\nA joint information center spokesperson at the National Mall said the number of heat-related patients there would be released later.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAmerica250\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 4\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFireworks, storms and politics: America celebrates its 250th birthday\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFourth of July\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 4\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump mixes patriotism with partisanship as he celebrates America's ‘joyous' 250th anniversary\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFourth of July\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 4\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAnti-Trump protests unfold in D.C. on Fourth of July\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nFestivities were also delayed after the Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency urged attendees to seek shelter immediately due to a severe thunderstorm that was moving overhead. Festivalgoers rushed to white tents for shelter.\n\n\n\nThe thunderstorms are part of a clash of warm and cooler air that is producing the unsettled cells from parts of Missouri to Pennsylvania. \n\n\n\nMore than 72 million were under severe thunderstorm watches on Saturday, according to federal forecasters, with the unsettled cells capable of producing winds 65 mph and greater, as well as quarter-sized hail. Damaging wind gusts were reported across Nebraska and Iowa.\n\n\n\nA diagonal collection of states from Arkansas to Michigan to New York was the location of power outages for more than 900,000 utility customers on Saturday, according to utility tracker PowerOutage.us. \n\n\n\nMichigan led the numbers, with more than 305,000 in the dark. New Jersey was next, with more than 124,000, followed by Missouri, with more than 100,000, according to the tracker.\n\n\n\nThe National Weather Service said cool air from the north will push the heat dome, responsible for a heat wave that started midweek, south and west in the coming days, relieving some of the most extreme temperatures in the Northeast.\n\n\n\nBut, it warned in a forecast discussion, “dangerous overnight warmth and high humidity continue to exacerbate heat-related impacts.”\n\n\n\nIn New Jersey, heat is suspected in the deaths 19 people this week. The fatalities were mostly reported in the central and northern portions of the state since Thursday, state health commissioner Dr. Raynard Washington said.\n\n\n\n“Unfortunately, many of these individuals were found in homes without air conditioning,” he said at a news conference held by Gov. Mikie Sherrill on Saturday. “Few were outside of their residence, some on the street and some even in parked cars.”\n\n\n\nResources, including chillers and generators, were being sent to health care facilities “in distress,” Washington said.\n\n\n\n“In some cases, where we have to, we are working to evacuate patients from facilities where necessary,” he said.\n\n\n\nOne heat-related death was reported in Cook County, Illinois, government spokesperson Natalia Derevyanny said. The cause was reported as organic cardiovascular disease with heat stress as a contributing factor, she said. \n\n\n\nHinds County, Mississippi, reported the death of Mitchell Ray Cooley, 74, due to heat exposure on Thursday, state officials said. Cooley was the subject of a Silver Alert bulletin released by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation after he was reported missing. His body was found the next day behind a gas station, the county coroner said in a statement. \n\n\n\n“Mr. Cooley suffered from a medical condition that impaired his judgment,” the coroner’s office said.\n\n\n\nOn June 27, Martha Irene Van Egmond, 83, died in Bolton, a small town about 200 miles north of New Orleans.

Then he stutter-stepped on his way to his 19th goal in 19 World Cup appearances, one behind career record holder Lionel Messi of Argentina. Mbappé and Messi each have seven goals in this tournament to top the Golden Boot race.\n\n\n\nMbappé won that award four years ago in Qatar, but Messi and Argentina beat France in the final.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 4\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMorocco beats World Cup co-host Canada 3-0 and advances to the quarterfinals\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 30\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat we know about the World Cup Round of 16 qualified teams, schedule so far\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2026 World Cup\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 2\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUS win over Bosnia-Herzegovina most-watched soccer telecast in English language history\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nMbappé botched a breakaway attempt in the second half, and Manu Koné had his top-corner shot knocked away by goalkeeper Orlando Gill after he was wiped out in the netting by Ousmane Dembélé only moments earlier.\n\n\n\nGill also stopped two strong attempts by Mbappé in second-half stoppage time.\n\n\n\nFor the criticism that hydration breaks have watered down the pace of play at the World Cup, they were never more needed for the players than on this steamy, sticky day. Sprinklers showered the Kentucky bluegrass field during the breaks and at halftime.\n\n\n\nMore than in any of the five other World Cup games played before 68,000-plus fans at Lincoln Financial Field, spectators fled for the concourse at halftime, seeking shade and refuge from the sun.\n\n\n\nMaybe they were looking for some action of any kind.\n\n\n\nLes Bleus scored 13 goals in the first five games of the tournament but were stymied in the first half by a Paraguay team trying to turn the match into a rock fight. Tempers flared when Andrés Cubas took down Mbappé and the teams briefly pushed and shoved each other. Matías Galarza also threw his right elbow into Mbappé and sent him crashing to the grass.\n\n\n\nParaguay advanced by beating Germany in a penalty shootout on Monday, the biggest upset of this World Cup. But after a gritty effort by La Albirroja, it’s France that’s moving on.\n\n\n\nAfter defeating Croatia for the 2018 title, France lost to Argentina on penalty kicks in the 2022 final. Les Bleus are 5-0 in this year’s tournament, outscoring opponents 14-2.\n\n\n\nThe city soaked in the moment as the 250th anniversary of American independence was celebrated. More fans honored America — draped in flags or wearing Uncle Sam hats as they tailgated in the parking lot — than at any of the other games in Philadelphia, and Idina Menzel, The Roots and DJ Jazzy Jeff all performed.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/france-beats-paraguay-advances-world-cup-quarterfinals/4044899/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Dan Gelston | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-04T18:56:17.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26185823035448.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C677","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"kylian-mbapp-scores-france-reaches-world-cup-quarterfinals-with-1-0-win-over-paraguay"},{"id":"quacwz","title":"Off-duty firefighter rescues 9 people after boat capsizes in Alvarado","excerpt":"An off-duty firefighter is being credited with saving nine people, including resuscitating two trapped children, after a boat capsized in Alvarado on July 4.","content":"An off-duty firefighter is being credited with saving nine people, including resuscitating two trapped children, after a boat capsized in Alvarado on July 4.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/off-duty-firefighter-rescues-9-people-after-boat-capsizes-alvarado","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Joseph.Rowe@fox.com (Joseph Rowe)","publishDate":"2026-07-06T11:48:54.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2F46991614784.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"off-duty-firefighter-rescues-9-people-after-boat-capsizes-in-alvarado"},{"id":"8irt6","title":"Mexico fans fill FIFA Fan Festival Dallas as England advances to World Cup Quarterfinals","excerpt":"FIFA Fan Festival Dallas temporarily suspended operations because of lightning Sunday afternoon before reopening later as thunderstorms moved through North Texas.","content":"FIFA Fan Festival Dallas temporarily suspended operations because of lightning Sunday afternoon before reopening later as thunderstorms moved through North Texas.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/fifa-fan-festival-dallas-halts-entry-orders-fans-shelter-from-storms","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Joseph.Rowe@fox.com (Joseph Rowe)","publishDate":"2026-07-05T21:00:08.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Fn-amelia-fifa-fan-fest-usmnt-8a_00.00.00.00.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"mexico-fans-fill-fifa-fan-festival-dallas-as-england-advances-to-world-cup-quarterfinals"},{"id":"24h0hz","title":"Trump mixes patriotism with partisanship as he celebrates America's ‘joyous' 250th anniversary","excerpt":"President Donald Trump mixed partisan politics with patriotic appeals on Saturday as he commemorated the 250th anniversary of American independence, a moment he declared “one of the most joyous and glorious milestones of all time.”\n\n\n\nSpeaking in Washington after storms prompted a roughly two-hou...","content":"President Donald Trump mixed partisan politics with patriotic appeals on Saturday as he commemorated the 250th anniversary of American independence, a moment he declared “one of the most joyous and glorious milestones of all time.”\n\n\n\nSpeaking in Washington after storms prompted a roughly two-hour evacuation of the National Mall, Trump honored veterans, including several from World War II and one of the first Black officers to lead a Special Forces team in combat in Vietnam. They appeared before flags that symbolized some of the most significant and challenging moments in American history, from the one that was draped over Abraham Lincoln’s casket to the one that flew on the plane piloted by the Wright Brothers.\n\n\n\nYet Trump also leaned into partisan territory unusual for an Independence Day address, which presidents typically use as a moment to unify the country. Instead, he stumped again for the SAVE America Act, an elections bill that’s encountering challenges even from Trump’s fellow Republicans in Congress. He highlighted his support for the Second Amendment and revived denunciations of communism, which are becoming an increasingly central part of Trump’s message ahead of the November midterms.\n\n\n\nThe speech capped a holiday that Trump has gone to great lengths to shape to his own tastes. He was introduced by two musical performers who often appear at his trademark rallies, including Lee Greenwood, who performed “God Bless the USA.” The event organizers were largely aligned with the White House, supplanting a bipartisan organization that was launched by Congress a decade ago.\n\n\n\n“We will always be on top,” Trump said. “We will never let our country fall. We will always be the best.”\n\n\n\nTrump didn’t talk about himself as much as he does during his normal rally speeches. Still, he still found time to include a joke about seeking a third presidential term and about World War II’s “greatest generation.”\n\n\n\n“They are the greatest generation,” Trump said. “I hate to admit that, but they are.”\n\n\n\nAnticipation for the milestone holiday has been building for much of the year, serving as an opportunity for Americans to reflect on their complicated history as onetime colonists of an empire who became a superpower of their own. Organizers of celebrations months in the making had to adjust or cancel activities entirely as much of the East Coast sweltered under heat that approached and in many cases surpassed triple digits.\n\n\n\nHeat is defining the big weekend in many places\n\n\n\nSevere weather prompted the cancellation of celebrations in Hartford, Connecticut, along with Harrisburg and Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Spectators at Boston’s fireworks and concert were told to briefly seek shelter before events later resumed. An evacuation was also ordered in Philadelphia. New York and Pittsburgh moved forward with fireworks but shifted the time to accommodate the shifting weather.\n\n\n\nThe disruption was particularly acute in Washington, where signs at the Great American State Fair posted an alert shortly after 7 p.m. ET encouraging participants to leave the area. Crowds gathered in museums, subway stations and federal buildings near the Mall. At the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center they waited in chairs and sat on the floor to cool off in the air conditioning.\n\n\n\nCrowds were building in the area several hours before the evacuation. Tina Hale, 58, of Cohoes, New York, watched three of her grandchildren children dip their hands into a pool of water near a museum. Hale pointed toward the sky and urged them to look up as three military jets roared above the crowd.\n\n\n\n“If that doesn’t make you proud to be an American,” she said.\n\n\n\nDavid Koshko, 42, and his wife, Jennifer Koskho, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, came to Washington for a baseball game but planned to stay for the city’s fireworks show. After baking in the heat for hours during the Pittsburgh Pirates’ win over the Washington Nationals, they took a break in the shade of an overpass near the National Mall to plot their next stop.\n\n\n\n“Just to be a part of the 250 years (anniversary) is an amazing thing,” said David Koshko, a commercial driver and veteran of the Marine Corps reserves.\n\n\n\nIn Philadelphia, fireworks began to crack as early as midday in the birthplace of the nation near the site where the Declaration of Independence was adopted by delegates to the Second Continental Congress. Hundreds of visitors were gathering at Independence Hall in the sweltering heat to await the celebrations coinciding with the France-Paraguay World Cup knockout game at Philadelphia Stadium, which began with commemorations of the holiday.\n\n\n\n“It’s one big party in here,” Carlos Alban, who traveled to Philadelphia from Chicago to watch the match, said as he arrived at the stadium, adding that he spotted a fan in the parking lot dressed as one of the Founding Fathers.\n\n\n\nIn New York, tall ships, with their masts, rigging and white sails outlined against a blue sky, made a procession around the Statue of Liberty and up the Hudson River, recalling the fanfare around America’s 200th anniversary in 1976.\n\n\n\nThe 43 ships were followed by a display of aerial might with a stealth bomber and the Navy’s Blue Angels. Patrouille de France, the French Air Force’s acrobatic teams, flew over New York Harbor with their red, white and blue trails, evoking images of the American flag.\n\n\n\n“We got up early and just rode our bikes about a mile down here to come see the scene,” said Oona Moore, a Jersey City, New Jersey, resident who took in the New York festivities. “We saw the tall ships and we saw the planes, you know, all different manner of military aircraft. I’ve never seen it so close and in the sky at the same time.”\n\n\n\nAt George Washington’s Mount Vernon, people took the Oath of Allegiance to become U.S. citizens. They stood with eyes closed and hands over hearts for the national anthem.\n\n\n\nIn Phoenix, Steven Dortch, 25, and his brother JayLn Dortch, 23, gathered at Granada Park to try to forge a new July 4 cookout tradition. JayLn Dortch said young people in the U.S. give him hope by thinking for themselves and not taking the words from older people at face value.\n\n\n\nHe said the country needs to keep in mind the everyday, hardworking people who “keep America going.”\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nAssociated Press writers Jacques Billeaud in Phoenix, Emily Wang in New York, Luis Andres Henao in Philadelphia, Kristie Rieken in Houston, Sarah Rankin in Richmond, Va., Jeffrey Collins in Columbia, S.C., Safiyah Riddle in Los Angeles and Jesse Bedayn, Anna Johnson, Will Weissert and Michael Kunzelman contributed to this report.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/national-mall-evacuated-donald-trump-speech/4044903/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Steven Sloan | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-04T18:45:22.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26186147205227.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5513%2C3676","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"trump-mixes-patriotism-with-partisanship-as-he-celebrates-americas-joyous-250th-anniversary"},{"id":"yyrtgw","title":"Morocco beats World Cup co-host Canada 3-0 and advances to the quarterfinals","excerpt":"Azzedine Ounahi scored twice to lead Morocco to a 3-0 win over Canada in the World Cup round of 16 Saturday to make the country the first African nation to reach the quarterfinals more than once.\n\n\n\nIt’s Morocco’s second straight appearance in the quarterfinals after becoming the first African te...","content":"Azzedine Ounahi scored twice to lead Morocco to a 3-0 win over Canada in the World Cup round of 16 Saturday to make the country the first African nation to reach the quarterfinals more than once.\n\n\n\nIt’s Morocco’s second straight appearance in the quarterfinals after becoming the first African team to reach the semifinals in 2022.\n\n\n\nNeither team was able to break through until Ounahi took a free kick from Achraf Hakimi and made a right-footed shot through traffic from outside the box to the bottom right corner to put Morocco on top 1-0 in the 50th minute.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOunahi made it 2-0 on a right-footed shot from the middle of the box off a pass from Brahim Díaz in the 82nd minute.\n\n\n\nSoufiane Rahimi added a goal in the final minute of stoppage time.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMorocco advances to face France on Thursday at Boston Stadium.\n\n\n\nThe loss ends a historic run for World Cup co-host Canada, which won its first-ever knockout round with a 1-0 victory over South Africa to reach Saturday’s match.

Within just a few harrowing hours, homes, cabins, and vehicles were inundated. Roads became impassable, and entire communities were cut off. In multiple locations, the Guadalupe reached levels associated with 100-year and even 500-year flood events, creating one of the deadliest natural disasters in modern Texas history.\n\n\n\nOne year ago, NBC 5 documented the devastation left behind by the catastrophic Hill Country floods and examined the questions they raised. Since then, the water has receded, but the recovery is far from over. NBC 5 has continued to follow the people, policies, and questions that remain. From recovery efforts to legislative reform to families finding meaning after their lives have been reshaped by the river, this is where the story stands today.\n\n\n\nTwo flood survivors rebuild lives, share recovery process after loss \n\n\n\nOne year after the deadly Hill Country flooding, two survivors are sharing what recovery has looked like for them. One widow is rebuilding on the same property where she lost her husband, while another has found a new home and hopes the anniversary marks a new beginning. NBC 5’s Allie Spillyards has the story.\n\n\n\n\n\nTexas flood victims share message of hope after unimaginable family loss\n\n\n\nAfter catastrophic flooding changed their lives forever, Annie and RJ Harber of Dallas are sharing how faith, family and community have helped them through their grief. The couple lost their daughters, Blair and Brooke, along with RJ’s parents, Mike and Charlene Harber, in the floods. In an emotional interview with NBC 5’s Meredith Land, they talk about honoring their loved ones’ memories, finding strength in one another and moving forward one day at a time.\n\n\n\n\n\nPastor reflects on healing along Guadalupe River after devastating floods\n\n\n\nOne year after the devastating flooding along the Guadalupe River, signs of recovery can be seen throughout the community. But while physical rebuilding continues, emotional healing remains an ongoing journey for many families. NBC 5’s Brian Curtis spoke with Pastor David Payne, who has spent the past year helping people cope with loss, grief and the long road to recovery after the disaster.\n\n\n\n\n\nOne year later: How one family is finding hope after the Texas Hill Country flood\n\n\n\nNearly one year after the deadly Texas Hill Country flooding, Annie and RJ Harber are sharing publicly for the first time about losing their daughters, Blair and Brooke, and RJ’s parents. They say their Catholic faith has helped them move forward while honoring their loved ones and hoping to grow their family again. NBC 5’s Meredith Land has more.\n\n\n\n\n\nHow an entire community is rebuilding after the Texas Hill Country flood\n\n\n\nRecovery efforts continue across Texas after last year’s devastating flooding. Relief leaders say millions of dollars have helped people return to permanent housing, but they say rebuilding the community will take years. NBC 5 has team coverage from Texas Hill Country.\n\n\n\n\n\nNorth Texas firefighters reflect on Hill Country flood response one year later\n\n\n\nAs many Texans celebrate the Fourth of July, others are remembering the victims of the devastating Hill Country flooding one year ago. More than 130 people across several counties died in the disaster, including 25 campers and two counselors from Camp Mystic. NBC 5’s Vince Sims spoke with North Texas firefighters who traveled to the Hill Country to assist with the response and reflected on the tragedy one year later.\n\n\n\n\n\nMore Texas communities join cellphone emergency alert system after Central Texas floods\n\n\n\nMore communities in Texas and across the country are signing up to use the nation’s most powerful emergency alert system after deadly flooding in Central Texas exposed gaps in how warnings reach people in danger. NBC 5 Investigates learned more than 100 agencies nationwide, including more than two dozen in Texas, have applied over the last year to join the national wireless emergency alert system known as IPAWS.\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom forecast to catastrophe\n\n\n\nIn the early days after the flood, questions arose about warning systems and alerts, and whether local National Weather Service offices were sufficiently staffed. The NWS said that on the morning of July 3, 2025, forecast briefings were held for emergency management, and a Flood Watch was issued that afternoon. NWS Meteorologist Jason Runyen told NBC 5 that extra staff were on duty during the storms.\n\n\n\n\n\nEarly warnings\n\n\n\nAccording to the NWS, meteorologists raised concerns well before flooding began. On Thursday, July 3, during forecast briefings with emergency managers, the National Weather Service warned that conditions were becoming favorable for heavy rainfall across the Hill Country. By 1:18 p.m., forecasters issued a Flood Watch for Kerr County and surrounding areas, warning that multiple rounds of rain could produce flash flooding through Friday morning.\n\n\n\nAs thunderstorms repeatedly moved over the same areas, rainfall intensified. At 11:41 p.m., the National Weather Service issued its first Flash Flood Warning of the event for neighboring Bandera County.\n\n\n\nJuly 4, 2025\n\n\n\nAt 1:14 a.m. Friday, a Flash Flood Warning with a “considerable” tag was issued for Bandera and Kerr counties. The inclusion of an Impact-Based Warning tag would automatically trigger Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) on enabled mobile devices and over NOAA Weather Radio.\n\n\n\nAs water surged on the Guadalupe River, the NWS escalated the situation to a Flash Flood Emergency, its highest level of flood warning, at 5:34 a.m. The agency said automated rain gauges indicated “a large and deadly flood wave is moving down the Guadalupe River.” An NWS graph of flood sensor data in Kerr County showed that the river rose from about six feet to more than 29 feet in just three hours.\n\n\n\nOfficials began to provide information about the search for the missing as state agencies mobilized to aid local authorities. \n\n\n\nAt least 24 people were confirmed as deceased by the evening of July 4. An unknown number of people remained missing, including dozens of children from Camp Mystic.\n\n\n\nJuly 5, 2025\n\n\n\nAdditional rain fell as rescues continued into the early hours on July 5. State agencies reported more than 850 people were rescued unharmed, while 27 deceased victims were confirmed by midday. Additionally, 25 children and two counselors were reported missing from Camp Mystic, and officials could not estimate how many other people were unaccounted for. Damage from debris and floodwaters slowed the search, even as thousands of federal, state, and local responders came to offer aid. \n\n\n\nThe search continues\n\n\n\nAs search crews continued combing miles of debris along the Guadalupe River, officials faced another difficult challenge: determining how many people were still unaccounted for. Unlike hurricanes or wildfires, there was no comprehensive list of everyone in the flood zone. Many victims were tourists, campers and holiday visitors who had never checked into hotels or campsites, making it difficult to know who had been caught in the flood.\n\n\n\nState and local investigators worked to verify hundreds of missing-person reports while asking families to notify authorities if loved ones had been found safe. The process underscored both the scale of the disaster and the uncertainty that follows a catastrophic event, as search-and-recovery efforts continued across the Hill Country.\n\n\n\nBy July 10, the number of lives lost had risen to 96 and would eventually climb to more than 130 people, including 27 at Camp Mystic.\n\n\n\nQuestions began to emerge as some victims and lawmakers scrutinized emergency alerts, camp safety, and warning sirens. This eventually resulted in the inclusion of flood-related bills in the 2025 Special Session of the Texas Legislature. \n\n\n\nHonoring lost lives\n\n\n\nThose killed in the catastrophic flooding included campers, counselors, parents, grandparents, and children from communities all across Texas. In North Texas, the tragedy struck close to home. Seven girls from North Texas were among the 27 campers and counselors killed at Camp Mystic: Lila Bonner, Hadley Hanna, Janie Hunt, Hanna Lawrence, Rebecca Lawrence, Wynne Naylor, and Eloise Peck.\n\n\n\n\n\nOther North Texas families lost loved ones who were spending the holiday weekend near the river, including James and Cindy Rushing of Sulphur Springs, sisters Blair and Brooke Harber and grandparents Mike and Charlene Harber of Dallas, Carol Andrews of Athens along with her husband Richard Pagard, Tianna Mabey of Mansfield, and Tanya and Jeff Ramsey of Lewisville. Jeff Ramsey is one of two victims who have not been recovered. \n\n\n\nIn the months that followed, communities honored their memories through memorials, charitable foundations, scholarships and acts of service that reflected the lives they lived.\n\n\n\nFor some, grief became action; parents of Camp Mystic victims traveled to the Texas Capitol multiple times over the past year. The group advocated for camp safety on behalf of the children lost, known as”Heaven’s 27.”\n\n\n\n\n\nThey shared gut-wrenching testimony of their children’s stories, and called for change, demanding lawmakers strengthen camp safety requirements in the hopes of preventing another tragedy.\n\n\n\nLegislative changes\n\n\n\nSenate Bill 1 of the second special session of the Texas Legislature was known as the ‘Heaven 27 Camp Safety Act. \n\n\n\n\nCamps for children cannot be licensed if cabins are near a FEMA-designated floodplain\n\n\n\nAnnual emergency training and planning\n\n\n\nOnline registry of licensed youth camps\n\n\n\nExtends safety standards to campgrounds and RV parks\n\n\n\n\nHouse Bill 1, the Youth Camp Alert, Mitigation, Preparedness, and Emergency Response (Youth CAMPER) Act:\n\n\n\n\nRequires youth camps to adopt and annually update emergency plans and train staff and campers accordingly\n\n\n\nInform parents of floodplain risks in writing\n\n\n\nShare emergency plans with local emergency services.\n\n\n\nEnforcement authorized through the Department of State Health Services\n\n\n\n\nSenate Bill 3 offers cities and counties financial assistance to install early-warning sirens in flash-flood-prone areas. It establishes a $50 million grant program to help pay for siren equipment.\n\n\n\nSenate Bill 5 establishes a funding structure that directs resources to areas most affected by floods.\n\n\n\n\n$200 million in funding matching for federal disaster money\n\n\n\n$50 million for the previously mentioned warning siren grant program.\n\n\n\n$28 million for enhanced atmospheric measurement and modeling in Texas, to improve forecasting.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCamp Mystic questions\n\n\n\nNearly a year after the flood, a state investigative report concluded Camp Mystic did not have a written flood evacuation plan and had not adequately prepared staff or campers for a flood emergency. Investigators found there was no organized evacuation strategy despite dozens of adults being on campus, and said stronger planning and training could have saved lives. The findings intensified calls for accountability and helped reinforce legislative changes requiring more robust emergency planning at youth camps.\n\n\n\nJust days later, Camp Mystic filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as it faced mounting lawsuits from victims’ families. The filing paused much of the ongoing civil litigation while legal questions surrounding the camp’s preparedness and response continued to play out in court.\n\n\n\nThe Steward family has become one of the most visible voices seeking accountability. Their daughter, Cile Steward, remains the only Camp Mystic camper who has not been recovered. Will and CiCi Steward have urged that the camp not reopen until the search for Cile is complete, while continuing to press for answers through the courts and in the public eye.\n\n\n\nWarning systems\n\n\n\nNearly a year after the flood, new warning systems are in development. The Upper Guadalupe River Authority has installed six sirens in Kerr County and will seek reimbursement through SB3.\n\n\n\nIn SB3, the state of Texas directed the Texas Water Development Board to assess the 30 counties impacted by the July 2025 disaster declaration issued by Gov. Greg Abbott and identify areas that are flood-prone and in need of warning sirens. Counties can receive up to $1 million to install outdoor sirens.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tCentral Texas Flood\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCentral Texas Flood\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 1\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYear after July 4 flooding, responders say they left their hearts in Hill Country\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCentral Texas Flood\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 24\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCamp Mystic files for bankruptcy after catastrophic floods killed 28 people\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCentral Texas Flood\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 18\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCamp Mystic report finds no evacuation plan before deadly flood\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\tThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/texas-news/after-the-flood-resilience-along-the-river/4043252/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) -

Miki Sudo defended her title as well in the women’s division.\n\n\n\nSaturday marked the 18th time Chestnut, 42, won the so-called Mustard Belt in just 21 appearances at the internationally televised Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest. He beat out 13 competitors who came from around the country and world, trekking from the Czech Republic, Australia and South Korea.\n\n\n\n“It’s a dream, it’s electric, there’s no place better on Earth,” Chestnut said breathlessly in an interview immediately after the showdown, donning a bulky, bejeweled necklace bearing the name of the sports betting company “Polymarket” around his neck. In a video posted on Instagram before the competition, Chestnut called competitive hot dog eating “the most patriotic sport we’ve got.”\n\n\n\nChestnut handily defeated the second-place winner, Patrick Bertoletti, 41, who ate 50 hot dogs, but fell short of his own 2021 record of 76 wieners and buns — or approximately 7.6 hot dogs per minute.\n\n\n\nDefending champion in the women’s division, the 40-year-old Sudo of Tampa, Florida, won the bright pink Mustard Belt for the 12th time, downing 38.75 dogs. In 2024, she ate a record 51 links.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFourth of July\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 2\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHot dog hot takes with Joey Chestnut: Q&A with the legendary competitive eater\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrack & Field\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 7, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTikTokers debate who would win challenge between Joey Chestnut and Usain Bolt\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nAfter competing, Sudo joined the crowd to watch her husband — who proposed to her in 2021 immediately after downing 50 boiled eggs in just over 3 minutes to set a world record — compete in the men’s event.\n\n\n\nBoth champions said that the heatwave that scorched New York on Saturday — bringing temperatures in Brooklyn to roughly 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius) during the competition — made that much more difficult. On top of that, ESPN announcers said the humidity changed the consistency of the buns.\n\n\n\n“I just said I would have to rely on muscle memory, and the crowd really carried me through to another belt today,” Sudo said.\n\n\n\nA large crowd braved the heat to watch the event, wearing foam hot dogs on their heads and standing outside the original Nathan’s Famous restaurant that has been in Coney Island, Brooklyn, since 1972. The superfans who stood closest to the stage wore ponchos as protection in case a competitor threw up.\n\n\n\n\n\nThere was briefly some concern earlier this year that Chestnut wouldn’t be able to participate in the 2026 competition after he was arrested for allegedly slapping a man in an Indiana bar.

But several of its stores also have an animatronic creature that seems out of place: a life-jacketed duck named Stewie who sings about how not to drown.\n\n\n\nThe duck is named for the son of Stew Leonard, the grocery chain’s chief executive. The boy was 21 months old when he drowned during a family vacation on the island of St. Martin in 1989.\n\n\n\nMore than a dozen adults and kids had gathered at a birthday party for Stewie’s older sister, who was turning 3. Stew Leonard was outside hanging balloons and his wife was inside baking a cake.\n\n\n\n“I saw Stewie outside and I assumed that he (Leonard) was watching him,” said his wife, Kim, noting that other relatives also were in the area of the pool.\n\n\n\n“We never communicated with each other; ‘You’ve got him?’” said Kim Leonard, now 65. “When everyone’s watching, nobody’s watching.”\n\n\n\n“There were a couple of balloons floating in the water,” Leonard, 71, recalled. “And you know after a few minutes, sort of everybody was like, ‘Where’s Stewie?’ Unfortunately I was the one who found him. He was face down in the pool.”\n\n\n\nHis death led the couple to start a foundation that pays for children’s swimming lessons and promotes drowning prevention.\n\n\n\nWhy are more kids drowning?\n\n\n\nUnintentional child drowning deaths in the U.S. fell from around 2,000 a year in the 1980s to below 1,000 a year by the early 2000s, thanks in part to public awareness campaigns, expanded access to swimming lessons, and adoption of pool fencing laws. Between 2000 and 2019, health officials saw a 38% drop.\n\n\n\nBut then the trend reversed, with the number of child drowning deaths rising from 756 in 2019 to 865 in 2024, the most recent year for which complete data is available. The bulk of them were children younger than 5. The child drowning death rate also increased slightly, from 1.1 to 1.2 per 100,000 children.\n\n\n\nWhat happened?\n\n\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic interrupted swimming lessons and lifeguard training programs, and contributed to a national lifeguard shortage. Meanwhile, some data suggests an increase in swimming pool construction and increases in unsupervised swimming, said Tessa Clemens, the CDC Foundation’s senior director for drowning prevention initiatives.\n\n\n\nKym Roberts studies drownings in Australia — where child drownings have been either level or decreasing in recent years. She said “drowning in young children is often associated with falls into water and lapses in direct supervision.”\n\n\n\nSome possible good news: Preliminary U.S. data for last year suggests child drownings declined. But it’s not clear whether that’s the start of a trend, and the deaths still remain higher compared to before the COVID-19 pandemic, Clemens said.\n\n\n\n\n\nPediatricians push for standards and regulations\n\n\n\nInventors have recognized a need for child water safety measures, and recent years have seen the emergence of immersion alarms that sound if the wristband a child is wearing goes underwater. But manufacturers of such devices note they can serve as an extra warning system, but should not be considered a primary way to keep children safe.\n\n\n\nThe federal government’s top public health agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, laid off Clemens and the rest of the staff of its drowning prevention program last year. But new guidance and drowning prevention support continues to come out of other organizations, including the CDC Foundation and the American Academy of Pediatrics.\n\n\n\nA CDC Foundation program has paid for basic swimming and water safety skills training for over 35,000 students since 2024. The program operates in 11 states with higher drowning rates: Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Michigan, New York, Oklahoma and Texas.\n\n\n\nWays to prevent drowning\n\n\n\nThe AAP says research shows that policies can make a difference, including lifeguard standards, life jacket regulations and requirements that swimming pools be completely surrounded by fences with self-closing, self-latching gates.\n\n\n\nStew Leonard emphasizes two other approaches — swimming lessons for young kids and complete focus by caregivers when young children are around water.\n\n\n\n“I mean, I love ballet. I love karate. I love tennis lessons. You know, all the activities that kids can do,” he said. “But the only thing you can do to save their life is put them in swimming lessons.”\n\n\n\nHis foundation has funded over 250,000 swimming lessons for children and opened two swimming schools — one of them across the street from his company’s headquarters in Norwalk, Connecticut.\n\n\n\nAlso, “shut your cellphones off when you’re around the pool, watching the kids. Don’t sit there reading a book. Don’t sit there talking to your friends, neglecting your child that’s near the water,” he said.\n\n\n\n“This happens in the blink of an eye.”\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nThe Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

They later exited this apartment with the victim, where now the victim’s hands were tied behind his back. They transported the victim to an abandoned building in Chicago, where he was shot multiple times in the head and in the body.”\n\n\n\nAccording to Blanche, the suspects all entered the U.S. between December 2021 and April 2024, during the Biden Administration.\n\n\n\n“None of these men should have been in this country,” said Blanche.\n\n\n\nThe Trump Administration has designated TDA as a ‘foreign terrorist organization.’\n\n\n\nWhen asked if any of the men could face terrorism charges, the officials said they will look at any other potential charges, including terrorism.\n\n\n\nRaybould vows to root out the criminal organization’s presence in North Texas, saying: “We’re just continuing to investigate and investigate, and we’re going to dig deeper and deeper, and I’ll end with this to members of TDA: We’re coming for you, and we’re particularly coming for you if you come to North Texas.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/feds-warn-venezuelan-gang-federal-charges-chicago-dallas-murder-cases/4043817/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Maria Guerrero","publishDate":"2026-07-01T18:05:39.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F04%2FGettyImages-2269711939_4e9a57.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4000%2C2666","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"feds-warn-venezuelan-gang-members-after-charges-filed-in-chicago-dallas-murders"},{"id":"er4ak1","title":"Apartment building destroyed in Mesquite Fire, residents displaced","excerpt":"Several families are displaced after a fire destroyed an apartment building in Mesquite on Wednesday.\n\n\n\nAccording to Mesquite Fire Department officials, crews were called to the Westover on 80 apartment complex on the west side of Mesquite along Highway 80 around 12:20 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen firefight...","content":"Several families are displaced after a fire destroyed an apartment building in Mesquite on Wednesday.\n\n\n\nAccording to Mesquite Fire Department officials, crews were called to the Westover on 80 apartment complex on the west side of Mesquite along Highway 80 around 12:20 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen firefighters arrived, they found heavy smoke and flames in the attic on the south side of the building. Officials said strong winds caused the fire to spread rapidly through the roof.\n\n\n\nAs crews battled the blaze, portions of the roof collapsed, forcing firefighters to transition to a defensive firefighting operation.\n\n\n\nDespite the extensive damage, everyone inside the building was able to escape safely. No injuries were reported.\n\n\n\nThe City of Mesquite said the building is a total loss. Fire officials said nine apartment units were damaged or destroyed and 15 residents were displaced.\n\n\n\n“Most importantly, we are thankful that no residents or firefighters were injured. We believe this positive outcome was made possible by the quick actions of residents who immediately called for help and the rapid response of our fire department,” said Elizabeth Rodriguez-Ross, councilperson for District 3, which includes the area of the fire. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the families who have been displaced and we remain committed to supporting the affected residents as they recover and will continue working with our community partners to ensure they receive any assistance they may need in the days ahead.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne of the residents impacted by the fire, Symone Reese, said she was inside her apartment when she first realized something was wrong.\n\n\n\n“Yesterday, I was sitting in my apartment and I heard the smoke alarm going off and a few minutes later someone came beating on my door,” Reese said.\n\n\n\nShe said she quickly grabbed her dog, purse and phone before evacuating. Now, she says, everything she owned is gone.\n\n\n\n“That’s the part that’s hard.I just lost my stuff and I just moved here and I don’t have any family in this state so I feel like it makes stuff a little bit harder for me. Because I don’t really have anywhere to go,” Reese said. “But I’m going to be using those resources and just picking up from here.”\n\n\n\nDespite the loss, she is grateful no one was seriously hurt.\n\n\n\n“I’m feeling overwhelmed, I’m feeling upset and I’m feeling grateful that nobody got hurt and everybody got out,” she said.\n\n\n\nCity officials and building inspectors have condemned the building, and residents are not allowed to return inside to retrieve belongings because of safety concerns. Officials say much of what remained inside was damaged by fire, smoke or water.\n\n\n\nThe American Red Cross said it has been working with local emergency management officials to assist those affected. The organization has distributed water and comfort kits and is helping residents address immediate needs, including temporary housing and other emergency assistance.\n\n\n\nReese said the apartment complex is arranging another unit for her, but it could be several days before it is ready. Other displaced residents have told NBC 5 they are staying with relatives or temporarily in hotels.\n\n\n\nAnyone impacted by the fire who needs assistance can contact the American Red Cross at 1-800-733-2767.\n\n\n\nThe cause of the fire remains under investigation.\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/fire-roof-collapse-mesquite-apartment-building/4043720/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Alanna Quillen","publishDate":"2026-07-01T15:42:00.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FIMG_6612.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4032%2C2268","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"apartment-building-destroyed-in-mesquite-fire-residents-displaced"},{"id":"cq0ewt","title":"Argument over woman sparks deadly Fourth of July shootout at large Fort Worth gathering","excerpt":"A dispute over a woman at a large Fourth of July gathering ended in a double shooting Saturday night, leaving one man dead and another hospitalized, police said.","content":"A dispute over a woman at a large Fourth of July gathering ended in a double shooting Saturday night, leaving one man dead and another hospitalized, police said.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/argument-over-woman-sparks-deadly-fourth-july-shootout-large-fort-worth-gathering","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Amber.Kite@fox.com (Amber Kite)","publishDate":"2026-07-05T14:36:19.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Fv-carter-park-homicide-4a_00.00.00.42.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"argument-over-woman-sparks-deadly-fourth-of-july-shootout-at-large-fort-worth-gathering"},{"id":"z5hkhv","title":"Dallas Weather: Severe storms move across metroplex ahead of triple-digit heat","excerpt":"North Texas residents are bracing for a tumultuous week of weather, starting with storm risks Sunday before shifting into a sweltering, humid game day Monday and culminating in the region's first triple-digit heat wave of the season.","content":"North Texas residents are bracing for a tumultuous week of weather, starting with storm risks Sunday before shifting into a sweltering, humid game day Monday and culminating in the region's first triple-digit heat wave of the season.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/weather/storms-target-north-texas-ahead-blistering-monday-game-day-heat","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Kylie.Capps@fox.com (Kylie Capps)","publishDate":"2026-07-05T13:27:53.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic-media.fox.com%2Ffmcv3%2Fprod%2Ffts%2Flr19o7neu5lp9hfu%2F4ta6fx8eotgaitps.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dallas-weather-severe-storms-move-across-metroplex-ahead-of-triple-digit-heat"},{"id":"wx7gr","title":"NBC, Peacock will show all 15 Major League Baseball games on Sunday","excerpt":"NBC is used to undertaking large presentations with the Olympics.

The FIFA World Cup soccer tournament and celebrations of the nation’s 250th birthday have given some U.S. residents additional incentives to create summer memories without going far.\n\n\n\nMotor club federation AAA estimated that 72.2 million Americans would travel at least 50 miles from home between June 27 and this Sunday. That’s 0.5% more than the number who got away during last year’s July Fourth travel period, but the forecasted increase is almost all due to people taking cruises, buses and trains; AAA expects no change in the number driving or flying to their destinations. \n\n\n\nA meaningful reduction in summer globetrotting might have an upside for businesses that depend on tourists, said Tarik Dogru, an associate professor at Florida State University’s Dedman College of Hospitality. Fewer U.S. residents heading abroad or flying across the country means more of their vacation budgets are staying local too, Dogru said.\n\n\n\n“The current economic and tourism dynamics are likely to redirect spending toward small businesses, such as regional restaurants, local attractions, Airbnb hosts, and roadside businesses along drive routes that serve budget-conscious and close-to-home travel,” he said. \n\n\n\nIf the trend holds through the summer and the rest of the year, it could reduce a travel and tourism trade deficit the United States has run since the COVID-19 pandemic. Each year since 2020, Americans spent more on foreign travel than international visitors spent on travel-related goods and services in the U.S., according to the National Travel and Tourism Office. \n\n\n\nMorgan Kain, a teacher in Baltimore, said her family is among the ones keeping their travel bugs in check for financial reasons. Kain, her husband and three children usually take multiple trips each summer, including a weeklong stay at a Virginia lake house. Last year, they spent six weeks traveling around Italy.\n\n\n\n“This summer, we’re still doing a couple overnights and the lake house, but nothing else,” Kain said. “Things are crazy expensive, from travel costs to food costs to gas.”\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFourth of July\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 27\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRecord travel expected for July Fourth weekend.

Like the gasoline that powers cars, the price of boat fuel went up during the Iran war. \n\n\n\nBut Williams so far is “pleasantly surprised with how well the business is doing across the board.” His future bookings are 10% higher compared to the same time last year, he said. \n\n\n\n“I think people are probably sticking close to home, and being in Lake Tahoe, we have such a huge drive-up market,” Williams said. \n\n\n\nIncreased demand for the three Lake Tahoe area rental properties that Jerry Bindel manages for Pyramid Global Hospitality also came as a relief. Ski season bookings petered out along with the snow during an unusually warm winter, but “we just saw that flip” with the arrival of hiking and boating weather, he said. \n\n\n\nBindel, an area general director for the property management company, said he spotted a possible sign of Tahoe visitors watching their spending: more of them skipping restaurants and using the kitchens in their rental units or outdoor barbecue grills to prepare their own food. \n\n\n\n“We’re seeing a lot of additional use on those items this summer,” he said.\n\n\n\n\n\nLocals still want to have memorable summer experiences\n\n\n\nIn Asheville, North Carolina, small business owners have hoped tourism would rebound since Hurricane Helene and flooding from days of torrential rain caused widespread destruction to the city’s landscape, buildings and infrastructure in September 2024. \n\n\n\nAubrey Anderson, who owns a river tubing outfitter in Asheville, reduced her summer staff from 100 people to 25 after Helene. After reservations picked up earlier this year and she noticed “a lot new people coming into town,” Anderson felt encouraged enough to hire 50 workers for Zen Tubing’s current season.\n\n\n\nThe unfamiliar faces include day-trippers driving in from South Carolina, Tennessee and other parts of North Carolina to spend several hours floating down the French Broad River for around $30 per person, Anderson said. After tubing, customers from around the region often grab a meal, stop at a brewery, shop or visit other local attractions before heading home, which is “a win for Asheville as a whole,” she said. \n\n\n\n“We’re definitely seeing a lot of locals, so to speak,” Anderson said. “People are maybe skipping the long drive to the beach this year, and they’re kind of doing just something close by so that they can save a little money and still enjoy a family outing.” \n\n\n\nFactory tours offered by French Broad Chocolate have surged this summer, according to Jael Skeffington, the Asheville chocolate maker’s CEO and co-founder. Tour-takers often stop in the on-site cafe for ice cream or coffee and buy a box of chocolate bars or bonbons before they leave, she said. \n\n\n\n“So it’s good for business, but it also seems to be what people are looking for is something to do, not just something to eat — something to experience.” Skeffington said.\n\n\n\n\n\nCities are getting a World Cup boost\n\n\n\nSoccer enthusiasts have poured into Kansas City, Missouri, just like other North American cities hosting World Cup matches.\n\n\n\nMade in KC, a chain of four cafes and 11 shops that sells locally made sauces, Kansas City-themed gifts and T-shirts for fans of the city’s professional sports teams, has gotten “really noticeable spikes of traffic” at all its locations during the tournament, co-owner Keith Bradley said. World Cup-related merchandise, including $40 hats featuring the team colors of this year’s competitors, have been a big hit, he said. \n\n\n\nAmerican tourists from other Midwestern cities — Des Moines and Omaha both are within a three-hour drive from Kansas City — seem to outnumber U.S. visitors from farther away, Bradley noted. \n\n\n\n“We have a couple locations that are in tourist parts of Kansas City. … But then we also have little shops that are just in suburban neighborhoods in Kansas City, and those have also seen World Cup traffic of people going to watch parties, people coming in town to go to the games, and then tourists just exploring Kansas City on their own.”\n\n\n\nMollie Lothman, co-owner of McLain’s Bakery, a family-owned cafe with five locations, said she thinks the cost of food and lodging in Kansas City compared to bigger or better known host cities has helped.\n\n\n\n“We’re one of the smaller markets who got the World Cup in Kansas City, but we’re also probably one of least expensive markets, in terms of family budgeting, to try to come and experience the World Cup,” Lothman said. “So I think that’s been a huge draw for people.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/small-businesses-having-good-summer-americans-travel-closer-home/4044818/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Mae Anderson | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-04T08:09:49.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26181700711209.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D7964%2C5309","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"small-businesses-say-theyre-having-a-good-summer-as-americans-travel-closer-to-home"},{"id":"n9wnc6","title":"Trump hails U.S. exceptionalism before veering into darkly political speech to usher in America 250","excerpt":"President Donald Trump ushered in the 250th anniversary of American independence on Friday with soaring rhetoric about American exceptionalism before veering into a darkly political speech with warnings about a sinister threat of communism that evoked one of the country’s ugliest chapters.\n\n\n\n“Co...","content":"President Donald Trump ushered in the 250th anniversary of American independence on Friday with soaring rhetoric about American exceptionalism before veering into a darkly political speech with warnings about a sinister threat of communism that evoked one of the country’s ugliest chapters.\n\n\n\n“Communism is a mortal threat to American liberty,” he said from Mount Rushmore. “It is the greatest threat to our country, including World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor or even 9/11.”\n\n\n\nWhile the language was similar to several other speeches Trump has given in recent days, it was notable for being delivered in a national park that commemorates some of America’s most prominent presidents. And it swerved from the typically apolitical, unifying speeches past presidents like Gerald Ford or Ronald Reagan have delivered during earlier high-profile Independence Day celebrations.\n\n\n\nIndeed, Trump’s language evoked the Red Scare of the 1950s, when alleged communists were persecuted and blacklisted from jobs across America, from Washington to Hollywood.\n\n\n\nIn New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, delivered his own address that cast America as a nation of contradictions “working each day towards the perfection in which it was conceived.”\n\n\n\nThe president’s speech capped an Independence Day eve that was otherwise most notable for a brutal heat wave the gripped much of the eastern portion of the country. Officials have warned those celebrating the holiday to stay hydrated and take air-conditioned breaks as needed.\n\n\n\nPresident Donald Trump speaks at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Friday, July 3, 2026, near Keystone, S.D. \n\n\n\nPhiladelphia canceled its Salute to Independence parade Friday. The Great American State Fair in Washington shut down in the early afternoon before reopening at 5 p.m. The Capitol Fourth concert, a mainstay of the holiday in Washington, opened its gates a little later than normal but ultimately moved forward with appearances from Patti LaBelle, Trace Adkins, members of the Artemis II space mission and fireworks over George Washington’s Mount Vernon. An Independence Day parade scheduled for Saturday in Washington was canceled.\n\n\n\nLooking for a place to cool off\n\n\n\nBy early afternoon Friday in Washington, hundreds of people were roaming the grounds of the National Mall, home to The Great American State Fair. They snapped photos of the flyovers and tried to cool off inside tents that offered $9 lemonades and $23 turkey legs. Many were dressed in patriotic colors, their faces glistening with sweat.\n\n\n\nGlenn Brooks, who was pardoned by Trump for his participation in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, said he was “thankful to be participating in this grand event.”\n\n\n\nThe activity culminates in the main event Saturday, when fireworks will erupt in communities across the U.S., along with backyard cookouts and block parties. Trump will deliver another speech at the National Mall in Washington before what is being billed as a historically massive fireworks show.\n\n\n\nAs the rest of the country struggled under stifling heat, the Pacific Northwest enjoyed temperatures in the 60s with even a few light showers.\n\n\n\nWorld Cup soccer fans in Seattle were staying cool Friday as they got psyched up for Monday’s big game between the U.S. and Belgium. In the nearby suburb of Issaquah, Megan Kurowski, 31, brought her two dogs to the dog park so they could get some exercise before she went to work.\n\n\n\nKurowski said she was feeling positive about America’s 250th anniversary and was planning a possible paddleboard to watch the fireworks.\n\n\n\n“Everyone’s just, from what it seems, been pretty excited about celebrating 250 years,” she said.\n\n\n\nThe holiday is unfolding at a unique time in the U.S. The anniversary has served as an opportunity for the country to reflect on its history while also reminding it of the political polarization of the moment.\n\n\n\nOn a holiday of unity, there is an undercurrent of division\n\n\n\nIn New York, Mamdani, a Democrat, did not mention Trump by name, but parts of his speech appeared aimed at the president’s divisive rhetoric.\n\n\n\n“For generation after generation, we have been told that when the world has sent its people to our shores, it has not sent its best,” Mamdani said in an apparent reference to a common criticism from Trump. “Those ideals upon which our nation was built — they are strong enough to endure any authoritarian regime, but only if we reach for them.”\n\n\n\nFreedom 250, an organization aligned with the White House, has come to rival America250, a bipartisan group founded by Congress a decade ago. Freedom 250 has organized much of the activity in Washington, including the Great American State Fair. America250 is behind the ball drops unfolding in many cities, including New York, and will host a concert in Los Angeles on Saturday.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAmerica250\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 2\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFollow along live as 48 tall ships from around the world head to New York Harbor for the U.S. 250th\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWashington DC\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 19\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBlue paint seen chipping off Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAmerica250\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMay 29\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOne birthday, two party planners: Freedom 250 vs. America250, explained\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nAbout 4 in 10 U.S. adults feel “proud” about the country’s 250th anniversary, according to an April survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Roughly 3 in 10 said “excited” describes their emotions.\n\n\n\nAhead of the holiday, auto technician Joe Fuqua-Bejarano in Topeka, Kansas, sized up “what makes us awesome” as a people. It is clearly not the politics, in his view, but rather resilience.\n\n\n\n“We’ve just all got to find unity somewhere, whether that’s in laughter or perseverance, and keep everybody cool,” he said from the fireworks stand where he is doing a booming business as a side hustle.\n\n\n\nChristina Zhou, a 25-year-old research assistant from Cambridge, Massachusetts, said she would aim to “think about just things that are happening locally.”\n\n\n\n“It feels a little bit more like within our own personal control,” she said.\n\n\n\nJerry Chin of Newcastle, Washington, said he wasn’t aware that the U.S. was celebrating its 250th anniversary and planned to stay low-key around the holiday. He and his wife generally skip the fireworks and instead stay home with their fearful dogs to keep them calm.\n\n\n\n“America’s a great place, but there are some concerns,” he said. Chin, 55, and his wife worry about healthcare and issues around staying healthy, but they also stress about politics.\n\n\n\n“We’re Democrats, so kind of given up hope,” he said. “Just feel that it is the way it is. I don’t know if there could be change.”\n\n\n\nAt the National Archives in Washington, visitors made their way through the Rotunda to look at the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights — and to escape the heat outside.\n\n\n\nMichael Dresdner, 60, traveled from West Orange, New Jersey, with his wife, Cindi, 57, and about two dozen other people to be part of the America 250 celebrations. He said their group of travelers included people on both sides of the political aisle — and that is what gave him hope for the future of American democracy.\n\n\n\n“We are all here, and we all love America,” he said.\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nPeoples reported from New York.

Toosi in the police report. And when he was questioned by a police officer about his decision to pronounce the boy dead while the child was still gasping for air, the doctor allegedly pulled rank.\n\n\n\n“Please do your thing and let me do my thing,” Toosi is quoted as saying in the report. “I went to medical school for a reason.”\n\n\n\nA doctor named Aryan Toosi is identified in available reports as being affiliated with that hospital. He referred NBC News to lawyer Scott Holden.\n\n\n\nIn a statement to NBC News on Friday, the lawyer cited the police report and a potential case against the child’s parents. \n\n\n\n “Because of this, as well as patient confidentiality, we are unable to make a full statement at this time other than to assure you that there is much more to this case, both factually and medically, than has been reported thus far,” he said.\n\n\n\nVincent, the toddler, is not identified in the police report by name, but his family has set up a crowdfunding page to help with the medical costs.\n\n\n\n“I can’t comment on this right now, but thanks for calling,” a man who answered the phone at the house where Vincent lives said before hanging up.\n\n\n\nAccording to the crowdfunding page, Vincent is breathing with the assistance of a ventilator. He has avoided serious brain damage but will require ongoing medical monitoring and extensive therapy.\n\n\n\nThe turn of events began around 5:38 p.m. on Feb. 8 with a 911 call for help after the boy was found floating face down in the family pool and a relative tried to revive him by performing CPR, according to the report.\n\n\n\nThe boy was then rushed to the emergency room at Mercy Gilbert Medical Center, where an ER team that included Toosi took over the effort to save him.\n\n\n\nAt 6:13 p.m., according to the report, Toosi was seen checking the time on “a cell phone with a cheetah print orange and black case” before he went out to deliver bad news to the boy’s parents.\n\n\n\nMinutes later, Toosi had words with a Gilbert police officer who appeared to question his diagnosis and then returned to the ER.\n\n\n\n“As long as there are no objections, I’d like to call time of death,” Toosi said, according to the report.\n\n\n\nThen, “at approximately 18:20 hours, Dr. Toosi called the time of death and requested a moment of silence.”\n\n\n\nBut the child’s parents and police officers who had been in the ER said in the report that the child still appeared to be gasping for breath after he was declared dead.\n\n\n\nThen, at around 7:18 p.m., a detective on the scene reported hearing “another audible gasp” as the ER workers were preparing to move the boy from the trauma room to the “cold room” that serves as the hospital’s morgue and where the temperature is set at 36 to 39 degrees.\n\n\n\nThat same detective said that when he returned to photograph the body an hour later he “again observed what appeared to be a gasp or air release.”\n\n\n\n“The nurse again stated it was agonal breathing and explained it was due to compressions, oxygen, and possible pressure applied by family members while saying goodbye,” the report states.\n\n\n\nAnd at 7:23 p.m., “the cold room door was closed,” the report states.\n\n\n\nMore than four hours later, when the medical examiner’s team arrived at 11:52 p.m. to retrieve the boy, “he was found breathing,” the report states.\n\n\n\n“The family was notified immediately” and the boy was airlifted to Phoenix Children’s Hospital.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/arizona-toddler-declared-dead-found-alive-in-morgue/4044771/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) -

Just let everything out, don’t think about anything. Think about your penalty kick. Don’t even think about the goalkeeper. Just think about your kick.”\n\n\n\nEmam Ashour gave Egypt the lead in regulation by scoring in the 13th minute with a header that beat Beach just inside the near post. Australia evened the match in the 55th when Egypt defender Mohamed Hany became the first player to score two own-goals in the same World Cup.\n\n\n\nThe own-goal came when Aiden O’Neill took a free kick from left of the penalty area and Hany headed the ball past goalkeeper Mostafa Shoubir for a spot in World Cup infamy. His other own-goal came in a 1-1 draw with Belgium in the group stage.\n\n\n\nLess than 10 minutes earlier, Hany was down near the same spot after colliding with Connor Metcalfe on the Australia midfielder’s header attempt. Medical personnel tended to Hany with a stretcher waiting nearby, but he was helped up and stayed on after what appeared to be a concussion check.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAustralia’s only scoring in World Cup knockout rounds has been two own-goals. The Socceroos lost to Italy 1-0 in 2006 and lost to Argentina 2-1 four years ago in Qatar. The goal against Argentina was an own-goal.\n\n\n\n“It hurts when you get that close,” Australia coach Tony Popovic said. “Unfortunately, we bow out in a penalty shootout, so it’s difficult to take right now.”\n\n\n\nOmar Marmoush had a great chance to give Egypt a two-goal lead in the opening seconds of the second half, but he sent a shot wide.\n\n\n\nThe late goalkeeper switch to the 34-year-old Ryan, for his 105th international appearance, came despite several strong saves from the 22-year-old Beach, who was playing in only his sixth game for the Socceroos.\n\n\n\nBeach made a sprawling save on a header from Rabia in the waning moments of regulation, and seconds later had a much easier stop on Salah’s shot.\n\n\n\nEgypt had one more chance before the end of regulation, but Haissem Hassan was turned away by Souttar, who deflected the shot with his knee.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/egypt-wins-in-world-cup-knockout-round-debut-with-4-2-penalty-shootout-edge-over-australia/4044752/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Schuyler Dixon | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-03T19:37:16.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26184756831075.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C686","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"egypt-wins-in-world-cup-knockout-round-debut-with-4-2-penalty-shootout-edge-over-australia"},{"id":"ju6e22","title":"Portugal, Spain playing matches with Round of 16 at Dallas Stadium on the line","excerpt":"It’s a major day in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 32.

They drew 0-0 with Cape Verde to open the tournament, before blowing out Saudi Arabia. They defeated Uruguay 1-0 in their final group stage game to win Group H.\n\n\n\nAustria has already played at Dallas Stadium, losing 2-0 to Argentina and Lionel Messi. They advanced as the second-place team out of Group J after drawing with Algeria and defeating Jordan 3-1 in their tournament opener.\n\n\n\nPortugal is led by international superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, but has struggled to score outside of an avalanche of goals against Uzbekistan. They finished second in Group K after a 0-0 draw with Colombia in Miami last week.\n\n\n\nCroatia finished second in Group L to England, losing 4-2 at Dallas Stadium in their World Cup opener. Since then, it’s been a 1-0 win over Panama and a 2-1 win over Ghana. Croatia has been the surprise of the last two World Cups, finishing in the top four in 2018 and 2022. Croatia is led by FC Dallas striker Petar Musa and former Real Madrid legend Luka Modric. Musa scored against England in his World Cup debut.\n\n\n\nThe winners of those two games will play Monday, July 6, at Dallas Stadium at 2 p.m. It will be Dallas Stadium’s only game of the week; next up is the semifinal on July 14.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/portugal-and-spain-playing-knockout-matches-with-round-of-16-spot-at-dallas-stadium-on-the-line/4043658/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-07-01T13:57:52.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2F2026-07-01T182805Z_740985856_UP1EM711FAR33_RTRMADP_3_SOCCER-WORLDCUP-ESP-AUT-PREVIEW.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1879%2C1246","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"portugal-spain-playing-matches-with-round-of-16-at-dallas-stadium-on-the-line"},{"id":"lbfewr","title":"Red, white, and blue: How to properly display and honor the American flag","excerpt":"As the U.S. prepares to celebrate Flag Day on June 14 and 250 years of Independence on July 4, American flags will be flying prominently throughout the country.  Here is the proper way to display Old Glory.","content":"As the U.S. prepares to celebrate Flag Day on June 14 and 250 years of Independence on July 4, American flags will be flying prominently throughout the country.  Here is the proper way to display Old Glory.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/how-properly-display-us-flag","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Mark.Richardson@fox.com (Mark Richardson)","publishDate":"2026-07-04T14:33:53.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.livenowfox.com%2Fwww.livenowfox.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F05%2Fwhite-house-flag-photo.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"red-white-and-blue-how-to-properly-display-and-honor-the-american-flag"},{"id":"qgdzni","title":"America’s Time Capsule: 56 states and territories contribute artifacts for 250th anniversary","excerpt":"America250 has unveiled the contents of America’s Time Capsule, which features letters, artifacts, and objects from across the country to help tell the story of the United States at its 250th anniversary.","content":"America250 has unveiled the contents of America’s Time Capsule, which features letters, artifacts, and objects from across the country to help tell the story of the United States at its 250th anniversary.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/americas-time-capsule-56-states-territories-contribute-artifacts-250th-anniversary","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Dan.O&apos;Mara@fox.com (Dan O&apos;Mara)","publishDate":"2026-07-04T14:16:27.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox29.com%2Fwww.fox29.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F07%2Fvlcsnap-2026-07-04-10h28m24s514.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"americas-time-capsule-56-states-and-territories-contribute-artifacts-for-250th-anniversary"},{"id":"q21x7j","title":"Amid extreme heat wave, don't use fans indoors if it's above this temperature, experts warn","excerpt":"It seems a simple decision — using a fan to cool yourself down amid yet another heat wave.

But in the extreme conditions much of the country is currently facing, it may not help as much as you’d think.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises against using electric room fans if indoor temperatures rise above 90 degrees because doing so can actually increase your body’s core temperature. The World Health Organization places its threshold at 104 degrees to avoid overheating from electric fan use.\n\n\n\nIf it sounds counterintuitive, it’s likely because you’ve used a fan in milder weather and benefited from its effects. Fans circulate the air around you and help evaporate the sweat your body produces in an effort to cool down.\n\n\n\nBut once the air indoors is hotter than your core body temperature, studies have found that fans will stop facilitating sweat evaporation.\n\n\n\nThe American Lung Association calls it “false sense of comfort.” Fans, it advises, can actually increase your risk of heat-related illness, such as heat exhaustion, heat stroke, heat cramps and heat rash.\n\n\n\nIf you’re unsure whether it’s safe to use an indoor fan, give it a try, but turn it off it right away if makes you feel worse, Dr. John Torres, NBC News medical correspondent and ER physician, tells TODAY.com.\n\n\n\nAs 35 states from the Great Plains to the Northeast prepare for record heat this week — with temperatures between the high 90s and 100s, and heat indexes between 105 and 115 degrees — keep an eye out for these heat-related symptoms:\n\n\n\n\nSigns of heat exhaustion include fatigue, nausea and vomiting, TODAY.com previously reported.\n\n\n\nIf you notice someone is confused, that’s an indictor of a heat stroke. Heat stroke might also cause someone to lose consciousness, experience seizures and have a high body temperature, TODAY.com previously reported.\n\n\n\nHeat cramps can occur throughout the body including the arms and legs. They happen when you exert yourself, sweat profusely or exercise in high heat. Take this as a warning that a more serious heat illness might be coming on, according to the Cleveland Clinic.\n\n\n\nHeat rash is the result of an unusually high amount of sweat getting trapped in inflamed sweat glands. This will cause red, itchy and raised bumps to emerge throughout the body.\n\n\n\n\nTo keep cool…\n\n\n\nOther advice from Torres to navigate the current heat wave includes:\n\n\n\n\nStay in cool areas as much as possible, ideally air-conditioned spaces, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.\n\n\n\nIf you don’t have air conditioning in your home, find a local cooling center or another large, indoor, public space, like movie theaters or grocery stores.\n\n\n\nKeep your blinds down.\n\n\n\nKeep your windows closed unless the temperature inside exceeds the temperature outside.\n\n\n\nUse misting devices or wet towels to cool off.\n\n\n\nOpt for moisture-wicking pajamas and bedding.\n\n\n\nHydrate with plenty of water even if you don’t feel thirsty, and turn to electrolytes if you’re sweating a lot more than usual. Pale yellow urine is a sign you’re staying hydrated.\n\n\n\n\nThis story first appeared on TODAY.com. More from TODAY:\n\n\n\n\nI’m an ER Doctor.

Kids ages 2 and under get in free.\n\n\n\n“We are so excited. It’s so fun to have a theme park for littles, because there’s so many times you go to places and you’re not big enough or tall enough,” said Breshelle West of Frisco. “So here, he can ride almost every single ride and he’s only three years old. Which is amazing.”\n\n\n\nThere’s also an adventure camp, sensory gardens, play parks within each character land, arcades and more.\n\n\n\nTickets and hotel packages are on sale. Tickets start at $55 dollars for adults or $74 for a two-day pass. There are also annual passes, VIP experiences and special rates for larger groups. Click here to see more information on pricing and availability.\n\n\n\nThere were limited tickets still available for Friday and Sunday at the time of publication, but Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, July 4, were sold out as the park prepared for a busy holiday weekend.\n\n\n\nAt the entrance of the park is a 300-room hotel, complete with themed rooms, dining and a pool. The first families were already checked in on Tuesday night.\n\n\n\nLocal parents were excited for more options to keep their kids busy this summer.\n\n\n\n“It’s amazing, because every day I drive past it to work, and I would see the construction from birth to now, and we’re just excited,” said Jerry Li of Celina.\n\n\n\nThe park is located just off the Dallas North Tollway in North Frisco.\n\n\n\nPark officials urge everyone to stay hydrated and take advantage of the shaded areas and air conditioning inside the park.\n\n\n\nThe park is typically open from 10 a.m. to 7 or 8 p.m. depending on the day, with guests staying at the resort’s on-site hotel eligible for early admission.\n\n\n\n\nRegular parking is $20 per vehicle, premium parking is $30 per vehicle. Guests with NTTA Toll Tags can pay for parking through a toll plaza on site for quicker service.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe resort is owned by NBC Universal, the parent company of NBC 5.\n\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/universal-kids-is-open-what-to-know-about-friscos-new-theme-park/4043601/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Alanna Quillen and Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-07-01T12:31:17.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fposter-frame-8.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"universal-kids-is-open-what-to-know-about-friscos-new-theme-park"},{"id":"ol9p8v","title":"Customer says StubHub seating map didn't match the tickets he received","excerpt":"When Elvis Morris bought resale concert tickets for a trip to Paris, he expected the seats to match what he saw online.\n\n\n\nMorris, who said he frequently buys and sells tickets through the platform, purchased six Category 1 tickets to see Rüfüs Du Sol at the Adidas Arena in Paris.\n\n\n\n“So these we...","content":"When Elvis Morris bought resale concert tickets for a trip to Paris, he expected the seats to match what he saw online.\n\n\n\nMorris, who said he frequently buys and sells tickets through the platform, purchased six Category 1 tickets to see Rüfüs Du Sol at the Adidas Arena in Paris.\n\n\n\n“So these were all like sideline, lower-level, great seats at Adidas Arena in Paris, France,” Morris said.\n\n\n\nBut when the tickets arrived, Morris said the seats were not where StubHub’s seating map had indicated Category 1 tickets would be.\n\n\n\n“The tickets did say Category 1, but they were section N, which is in the top corner, almost at row 69, you know — nosebleed type seats. Not at all what I purchased, ” Morris said.\n\n\n\nHe said he contacted StubHub and was told he had received what he paid for: Category 1 seats.\n\n\n\n“I started screen-shotting everything. Not just the actual map, but I also started screen-shotting the web address as well as the time and date stamp on the bottom of my screen,” Morris said.\n\n\n\n“I go round and round and around with them numerous calls,” he added. “I’m recording each call, I’m documenting it, and every time they’re telling me, ‘You received Category 1 tickets, that’s what you paid for.’ But it’s not. They misrepresented the map,” Morris said.\n\n\n\nMorris said he eventually reached a StubHub representative who explained what may have happened.\n\n\n\n“Adidas Arena in Paris, France, has three different seating charts. They have a seating chart for concerts. They have a seating chart for sporting events, such as tennis or basketball,and then they have a seating chart for, you know, a stand-up comedian or some kind of speaking event, ” Morris said.\n\n\n\nMorris said he was told that within those different seating charts, Category 1 could mean different things.\n\n\n\n“StubHub or Adidas, I don’t know who made the mistake, put the wrong seating chart up, ” Morris said.\n\n\n\nAfter that conversation, Morris said he bought new seats in the area he wanted, expecting StubHub to refund the first purchase.\n\n\n\nWhen that refund did not come, he contacted NBC 5 Responds.\n\n\n\nNBC 5 Responds contacted StubHub about Morris’ complaint. Soon after, the company refunded his purchase and provided a 25% discount coupon.\n\n\n\nIn a statement to NBC 5 Responds, StubHub said:\n\n\n\n“We know fans put a great deal of trust in the ticket-buying experience, and we take that responsibility seriously.

The sentences ranged from nearly two to 15 years in prison.\n\n\n\nEight others who were convicted at trial last week were handed lengthy sentences, including a former Marine reservist who received a 100-year prison term.\n\n\n\nProsecutors said the group’s actions — including bringing firearms, first aid kits and wearing body armor — signaled nefarious intent, and U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman — one of two justices presiding over the sentencings — noted Wednesday that the center is located in a residential neighborhood.\n\n\n\n“This could have been an absolute slaughter,” Pittman said.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. Justice Department alleges the shooting was carried out by members of antifa — a claim attorneys for the defendants have denied. Antifa is an umbrella term for far-left militant groups that confront or resist neo-Nazis and white supremacists at demonstrations.\n\n\n\nThe protesters’ attorneys insisted their clients did not plan an ambush and that those who took firearms to the demonstration did so for their own protection. They argued the gathering was planned as a late-night demonstration with fireworks to show support for immigrants detained inside the facility.\n\n\n\nBenjamin Song, the former U.S. Marine reservist who was convicted of attempted murder and other charges in the shooting, was sentenced to 100 years in prison, and seven others received prison terms ranging from 30 to 70 years. Some of them, including Song, have filed notices of appeal.\n\n\n\nThose convicted at trial had faced various charges, with all but one charged with providing material support to terrorists.\n\n\n\nThe six defendants sentenced Wednesday who did not stand trial had pleaded guilty to providing material support to terrorists. Some of them were at the protest that night while others were accused of helping Song avoid arrest after the shooting.\n\n\n\nNathan Baumann was sentenced to almost two years in prison Wednesday after apologizing in court for vandalizing vehicles at Prairieland.\n\n\n\n“There is no justification for what I did,” Baumann said.\n\n\n\nJohn Thomas, who was sentenced to nine years in prison, was not at the July 4 protest but was among those accused of helping Song evade arrest by moving him from location to location and providing him with clothes, according to a court document.\n\n\n\n“I am so very sorry I ever got involved,” Thomas told the judge\n\n\n\nAnother person who was convicted at trial was among those sentenced Wednesday. Ines Soto was sentenced to 50 years in prison for providing material support to terrorists, riot and explosives charges.\n\n\n\nThe case has been closely watched by critics who say the prosecution could have serious implications for protesters nationwide and First Amendment free-speech rights.\n\n\n\nOne remaining person who pleaded guilty to providing material support to terrorists is set to be sentenced on Monday. According to a court document, she was among those who helped Song evade arrest.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/six-protesters-sentenced-texas-immigrant-detention-center-shooting/4043539/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Jamie Stengle | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-01T11:27:09.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2025%2F09%2Fn6pt-v-prairieland-det_KXASA7Q2_2025-09-30-18-48-43.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"court-sentences-7-more-to-prison-over-shooting-at-alvarado-immigration-detention-center"},{"id":"c5lne1","title":"Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce married in elaborate Madison Square Garden ceremony","excerpt":"Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce married Friday night at Madison Square Garden, where actor Adam Sandler was the surprising officiant at a star-packed ceremony.\n\n\n\nThe secrecy that surrounded the buildup to the nuptials lifted when a marquee outside the Midtown Manhattan arena proclaimed “JUST&T MAR...","content":"Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce married Friday night at Madison Square Garden, where actor Adam Sandler was the surprising officiant at a star-packed ceremony.\n\n\n\nThe secrecy that surrounded the buildup to the nuptials lifted when a marquee outside the Midtown Manhattan arena proclaimed “JUST&T MARRIED” once the deed was done.\n\n\n\nThe couple did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen, instead opting for Swift’s brother to serve as her man of honor and Kelce’s brother Jason serving as his best man, Swift’s publicist Tree Paine said in an email. \n\n\n\nThe bride and groom’s outfits were designed by Christian Dior Haute Couture and its designer Jonathan Anderson with shoes custom-made by Christian Louboutin. She wore Cartier jewelry. \n\n\n\nAn almost-royal wedding\n\n\n\nThe long anticipated union of sports and song brought hype to new heights at a venue made more for historic NBA games and bucket-list concerts. The Kansas City Chiefs’ superstar tight end and the music megastar married as fans and spectators gathered outside in blistering heat, eager to be part of the occasion, even though the event was almost entirely hidden.\n\n\n\nSinger Camila Cabello, actors Hugh Grant, Ethan Hawke and Jason Sudeikis, and model Karlie Kloss were among the guests. Running back Kareem Hunt was among Kelce’s Chiefs teammates in attendance. Seattle Seahawks receiver and recent Super Bowl champ Cooper Kupp, New York Giants receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, NFL announcer Joe Buck and Jenny Han, author of the “The Summer I Turned Pretty” series were also seen entering the arena.\n\n\n\nIn a culture obsessed with famous couplings it may be the apex celebrity wedding, with perhaps only royal unions getting more attention. Holding such a ceremony in a huge, iconic space that sits at the center of the U.S. media universe while keeping all the details secret made for a surreal scene, but it was a mix of hype and hush that is not out of character for Swift.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTaylor Swift\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 29\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTaylor Swift wedding invites came with NDAs, source tells NBC News; MSG bash set for Friday\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTaylor Swift\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMay 7\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTravis Kelce ‘can't wait' for this Taylor Swift wedding moment\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nA shrouded ceremony headed by Happy Gilmore\n\n\n\nAn Associated Press camera outside the arena showed a long line of black SUVs dropping off wedding-goers in tuxedos and evening gowns, surrounded by New Yorkers in shorts and Swifties amassing for the occasion.\n\n\n\nCelebrities, athletes and friends were posting on social media about getting ready or about to leave for a black-tie event, including Brandon Borders, producer of the New Heights podcast starring Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce; Beau Allen, retired defensive lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles; and Jessica Chastain.\n\n\n\nThere was a notable lack of social media posts from guests once they had entered the arena, after reports that phones would not be allowed. Rain began falling soon after the marriage was announced.\n\n\n\nWeddings have been a constant subject in Swift’s songs since she was a teenager, and her actually walking the aisle for the first time at age 36 adds to the drama. It would also be a first marriage for the 36-year-old three-time Super Bowl champ Kelce, who could have been one of the jock characters in Swift’s early hits. \n\n\n\nSandler, star of “The Wedding Singer” and many other hit comedies, can’t have been high on anyone’s betting list for who would marry the couple, though he’s become an increasingly warm and paternal cultural figure with age. The email announcing the marriage described him as “a friend” of the couple. Kelce was one of the many athletes who appeared in “Happy Gilmore 2,” Sandler’s 2025 sequel to one of his earlier hits.\n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome to New York — hot and hectic edition\n\n\n\nThe relationship of the pop star and the football player has thrilled and fascinated millions around the world — particularly the Swifties, the pop star’s enormous and ardent fan base — ever since the pair first started dating in 2023.\n\n\n\nOutside the arena, some frazzled tourists mixed with happy fans.\n\n\n\nLori Powers, who lives an hour north of Manhattan and rode the train in to be near the nuptials, said Swift’s “music is the soundtrack behind so many amazing moments in my life. Relationships, friends, like my husband and my kids.”\n\n\n\nShe stood outside the arena before the marriage was announced with her friend Cecily Hall.\n\n\n\n“Just being here and witnessing all the energy and the excitement, it’s so much fun,” Hall said. “The combination of sports and music makes perfect sense as to why they’re at Madison Square Garden today.”\n\n\n\nQuestions remain about who may perform and what it looked like inside the affair that could go well into the night.\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nDalton reported from Los Angeles.

A diamond-winged eagle carries a ruby shield and clutches an olive branch of emeralds, below a radiant “250” and atop the phrase “250 YEARS USA” etched in 18-karat gold.\n\n\n\nAll told, 321 diamonds, 56 sapphires, 13 emeralds and six rubies encrust the watch-sized gold ring presented this week to Bill White, the U.S. ambassador to Belgium, to give to U.S. President Donald Trump.\n\n\n\n“A very special thank you to my friends from Antwerp for the magnificent Freedom 250 ring,” Trump said in a prerecorded video message during an event marking America’s 250th birthday in Brussels.\n\n\n\nIsidore Mörsel, president of the Antwerp World Diamond Center, or AWDC, gifted the ring on behalf of the centuries-old diamond community in the Belgian port city, a central node in the worldwide trade of the precious stones that found itself struggling last year under the weight of Trump’s sweeping trade war.\n\n\n\n“May this ring serve as a lasting reminder that true partnership, like the finest natural diamonds, are formed under pressure, endure the test of time, and shine brightest when built on trust,” Mörsel said. The ring’s interior is engraved with the phrase “Crafted in Antwerp for Donald John Trump.”\n\n\n\nIn dollar terms, the ring’s value pales beside gifts like the $400 million plane donated by Qatar that Trump ordered converted into a new Air Force One. But it’s a glitzy window into the role that ostentatious – and almost always gilded — gifts are playing by those seeking to curry favor with the U.S. president.\n\n\n\nA White House official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter, said Thursday that the ring has not been presented to Trump yet.\n\n\n\nThe ring is latest in Trump’s historic break with White House custom \n\n\n\nThe gift comes months after Belgium’s diamond industry won the removal of U.S. tariffs on diamond imports. In September, AWDC said it had “succeeded in securing a zero percent import tariff” on Antwerp’s annual export of more than $2 billion of polished diamonds to the U.S. A spokesperson for the group said on Thursday that the AWDC provided “input” to the European Commission as it negotiated with Trump on a broad deal on tariffs in 2025, but did not itself lobby the administration.\n\n\n\nU.S. presidents have considerable discretion to accept gifts from domestic and foreign sources and may determine themselves whether a gift was meant for them personally or the nation. The exception is those from foreign governments, which are prohibited by the foreign emoluments clause of the Constitution without congressional assent, though presidents could use personal funds to reimburse the Treasury for the full value of an official gift if they wish to retain it.\n\n\n\nPersonal gifts are also supposed to be registered on the president’s annual financial disclosure. Trump’s 2025 disclosure, released this week, revealed a $250,000 gift of a sculpture depicting his triumphal gesture after surviving a 2024 assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and tickets to 10 sporting events, including 10 to the upcoming World Cup final in New Jersey from FIFA’s Gianni Infantino, valued at a collective $15,000.\n\n\n\nFour U.S. ethics experts told The Associated Press that Trump has broken with decades-old custom in the White House to avoid accepting such gifts. \n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEconomy\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMar 18\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTrump said tariffs would help American manufacturers.

The contract has a base salary of $850,000, the league minimum, with another $1,150,000 in potential performance bonuses. \n\n\n\n“Jamie’s leadership and commitment to this organization is truly unmatched and he has helped define our culture,” general manager Jim Nill said. “He continues to set the standard on and off the ice, and we’re excited to have him leading our team for another season.”\n\n\n\nHall of Fame center Mike Modano is the only player in franchise history with more than Benn’s 1,252 regular-season games, 414 goals and 992 points. Benn has 80 points (28 goals and 52 assists) in 126 postseason games, and still hopes to win a Stanley Cup title. \n\n\n\nBenn has been the Stars captain since 2013-14, and this is the second offseason in a row he had a decision to make about whether to play another season. He also played on a one-year deal last season after the end of a $76 million, eight-year contract. \n\n\n\nHe missed the first 19 games last season because of a punctured lung and his 60 games played were his fewest in a full 82-game regular season. He had 15 goals and 21 assists with a $1 million base salary, and earned another $2 million in bonuses. \n\n\n\nAfter the Stars were knocked out in the first round of the playoffs in May, Benn said he was going to sit back before making a decision about another season. His coach and teammates were clear then that they hoped he would keep playing. \n\n\n\n“For me, it’s a slam dunk. He needs to come back,” coach Glen Gulutzan said after completing his first season back with the Stars. \n\n\n\nBenn was the only player Gulutzan also coached during his first tenure behind the Dallas bench (2011-13).\n\n\n\nTyler Seguin has been teammates with Benn since 2013-14, after he was traded from Boston and the same season Benn became the Stars captain. \n\n\n\nSeguin, who is going into the final season of a $78.8 million, eight-year contract, made it clear after last season that he hoped for another chance at the Cup with Benn.\n\n\n\nDallas went to the Western Conference final in each of the previous three seasons before the early postseason exit this year. \n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nAP NHL: https://apnews.com/NHL","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/stars-central/dallas-stars-sign-captain-jamie-benn-to-his-18th-season-only-modano-has-more-games/4044647/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Stephen Hawkins | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-03T15:16:16.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FUSATSI_28835326.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dallas-stars-sign-captain-jamie-benn-to-his-18th-season-only-modano-has-more-games"},{"id":"etfd2o","title":"Caitlin Clark condemns ‘harassment' as WNBA players face a surge of online threats","excerpt":"Caitlin Clark has seen enough of the social media hatred that she, her Fever teammates, coaches and opposing WNBA players get.\n\n\n\n“I’ve said up here and said before, the harassment, the hate, none of that is OK,” Clark said at practice Friday “That goes for the opposing team we play, that goes fo...","content":"Caitlin Clark has seen enough of the social media hatred that she, her Fever teammates, coaches and opposing WNBA players get.\n\n\n\n“I’ve said up here and said before, the harassment, the hate, none of that is OK,” Clark said at practice Friday “That goes for the opposing team we play, that goes for my teammates, that goes for my coaches. There should never be question of character. None of that is OK, and I don’t want anybody to ever experience that.”\n\n\n\nThe WNBA has gotten a lot more attention the past few seasons with the addition of Clark and Angel Reese among others to the league. A multi-billion dollar media rights deal, million dollar salaries and higher attendance have been the positives. An increase of social media vitriol toward players and teams has been the negative.\n\n\n\nSocial media hatred is nothing new and isn’t just directed toward the WNBA and its players. It’s been going on for more than a decade toward the league and its players. However, it has gotten worse lately with players and coaches receiving threats for things that happen on the court.\n\n\n\nPhoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas said Tuesday that she received death threats and had been called racial slurs in the aftermath of her one-game suspension after she made contact with her fist to Clark’s throat in last week’s matchup against Indiana.\n\n\n\nWNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert issued a statement on Tuesday condemning “any and all forms of hate.”\n\n\n\n\n\nThe WNBA has been trying to do what it can to make the players feel more protected and combat its social media problem.\n\n\n\nThe league has made a major push with security over the past few seasons. Teams travel with more security on the road and there are enhanced protocols at arenas, hotels and when traveling. Franchises now take charter flights, which makes it easier on the teams.\n\n\n\nThe WNBA also has implemented initiatives that combat online hate and threats to players. Some of that includes artificial intelligence software to identify and respond more quickly to threats, harassment and hate directed at players and teams across social media platforms.\n\n\n\nUnfortunately, nothing is foolproof in stopping online hate spewed by anonymous people who hide behind their keyboards.\n\n\n\n“I think for the league as a whole, there’s been so much more toxicity, racism, homophobia — straight-up hateful nonsense, and it is absolutely unacceptable,” Fever coach Stephanie White said during a two-minute opening statement at practice Wednesday. “Most of it is coming from the online community. In my heart of hearts, I believe most of it is not coming from WNBA fans or Indiana Fever fans.”\n\n\n\nWhite coached Thomas in Connecticut two years ago and saw the social media vitriol there, as well.\n\n\n\n“AT is exactly right: We get to play a basketball game,” White said. “Yes, that’s going to come with criticism and yes, that’s going to come with fans and the love-hate relationship they have with players and teams. But it’s not hard to not be a jerk. And if you’re one of the people who’s online doing this, do not call yourself a WNBA fan.”\n\n\n\nClark said she’s been hurt by all of the narratives created online and in the media about her and her Fever teammates.\n\n\n\n“It can be really frustrating to me at times and it’s difficult,” Clark said. “A lot of people sometimes think I’m a robot. I’m not a robot. I have emotions, I have feelings. And it can be really difficult to go through a lot of that. I’m 24 years old, trying to navigate a lot … there are times that it is hard, and there are times that, you know, it probably affects me a little bit more than I do put on.”\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWNBA\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 25\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWNBA suspends Alyssa Thomas 1 game for hit to Caitlin Clark's throat\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWNBA\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 17\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNike to release Caitlin Clark's ‘Caitlin 1' signature shoe this fall\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nTo try and help the players deal with the hate they receive, the league also has expanded access to confidential mental health resources and support.\n\n\n\nThe union sent a letter to its players last week that was obtained by The Associated Press that included points on social media vitriol.\n\n\n\n“We know spirited debate and passionate fandom are part of sports.

Governors in Colorado and New Mexico this week urged restraint, while cities and counties from the Southwest to Oregon and Washington have imposed restrictions of their own.\n\n\n\nThe message is simple: Families should attend professional displays instead of lighting fireworks in their own yards.\n\n\n\nThis July Fourth marks the nation’s 250th anniversary. The country is looking forward to an especially big version of the holiday’s usual mix of red, white and blue. From Mount Rushmore to Washington, D.C., and thousands of communities in between, spectacular displays are still planned.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFourth of July\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 27\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFourth of July deals 2026: Freebies, food discounts and summer savings\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFourth of July\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 27\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFive ways to protect your pets during the Fourth of July\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nRecord dry conditions elevate the risk this year\n\n\n\nIn the past week alone, hundreds of wildfires erupted throughout the West, adding to the already above-average pace for acreage burned so far this year. The flames are being fueled by dry, windy conditions. \n\n\n\nWhile the Southwest was hit particularly hard by an unusually dry winter and dismal snowpack, others parts of the U.S., including much of the East Coast and parts of the South, are experiencing varying levels of drought, according to data from the U.S. Drought Monitor.\n\n\n\nNearly 85% of wildfires are caused by people, both intentionally and unintentionally, such as when power lines fail or campfires are left unattended. Lightning strikes are a common natural cause, but rarer culprits, such as animals chewing exposed wires, can cause fires, too.\n\n\n\nIngredients for a wildfire include flammable vegetation, weather conditions and an ignition source. Fireworks serve as an ignition source, which is why the number of fires spikes each year on July Fourth, said Philip Higuera, a fire ecology professor at the University of Montana.\n\n\n\n“It’s not because the Fourth of July is particularly always warm and dry and windy,” he said. “It’s because there are a lot of ignitions added to the landscape on that single day.”\n\n\n\nOfficials encourage alternatives for celebrating\n\n\n\nOnly Utah has enacted statewide restrictions, with Gov. Spencer Cox declaring an emergency because of wildfire risk. In other states, decisions are being made at a local level. \n\n\n\nAlthough some cities and counties are still planning to hold fireworks displays, others have canceled them, including Colorado Springs, the second-largest city in Colorado. Wednesday’s decision was made just as a Rocky Mountain foothills fire 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of the city surged across 55 square miles (142 square kilometers), destroying well over 100 structures.\n\n\n\nCertain counties in Florida have burn bans in place.\n\n\n\nFireworks restrictions are nothing new, but some areas are making the call for the first time.\n\n\n\nFrank Wirth, fire chief in Alamosa, Colorado, made the tough call to cancel his town’s fireworks display because dry conditions are expected. The city of nearly 10,000 is surrounded by brush and grass, and several hundred people typically attend the annual fireworks show.\n\n\n\n“I think they’re disappointed, and I’m disappointed, too,” Wirth said, but “fireworks are a cause of fires, there’s no two ways about it.”\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are safe ways to enjoy the holiday\n\n\n\nThe fireworks industry raked in $2.3 billion last year, and that figure could climb to $3 billion this year due to America 250 celebrations, according to Julie Heckman, executive director of the American Pyrotechnics Association.\n\n\n\nHeckman encouraged people to buy from a reputable licensed seller, whether it’s a big-box store or a nonprofit, and to follow the instructions to avoid injuries.\n\n\n\nAfter using fireworks, have a bucket of water handy to soak the spent fireworks before disposing of them, she said. Just because there’s not a flame, it doesn’t mean that combustion isn’t still happening.\n\n\n\nExperts also said to pay attention to local authorities and to be mindful of any restrictions.\n\n\n\n“The conditions dictate the tactics,” said Joe Ten Eyck, a wildland fire expert with the International Association of Fire Fighters. “And so that could put a damper on some people’s celebrating and they may have to celebrate in a different way.”\n\n\n\nIntentionally or unintentionally causing a wildfire is a punishable offense nationwide, though the consequences vary by jurisdiction.\n\n\n\nBut the safest option is to forego personal fireworks and opt for a professional show, where fire crews are usually on standby. These days, some displays use drone shows instead of combustible pyrotechnics, which further minimizes the fire risk.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/what-to-know-fireworks-risk-wildfires-july-4/4044607/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Sarah Raza | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-03T13:46:44.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-1300219600.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2450%2C1633","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"what-to-know-about-fireworks-and-the-risk-of-wildfires-this-july-4"},{"id":"rgnff2","title":"Maren Morris says Taylor Swift is a ‘hard person to buy for' ahead of reported wedding celebration","excerpt":"What does one buy a billionaire as a wedding celebration gift?

Maren Morris — and the TODAY show crew — are wondering the same thing.\n\n\n\nOn Friday’s broadcast, host Craig Melvin mentioned Variety’s reporting that the singer was invited to the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce festivities later that evening.\n\n\n\nMelvin teased the dilemma on air. “What do you get as a gift for someone like that? Do you get a juicer… air fryer?”\n\n\n\nMorris laughed, replying, “I don’t know, what do you get? That’d be a hard person to buy for.”\n\n\n\nThe 36‑year‑old singer added that she’s “so happy” for the couple, noting Swift’s long connection to New York. \n\n\n\n“She has such a close tie to New York. I’m so excited for them to celebrate their love.”\n\n\n\nThe singers first met in 2018, when Morris joined Swift on the Reputation Stadium Tour in Arlington, Texas, Morris’ hometown, to perform “The Middle” together. On an episode of “The Tonight Show” in 2023, Morris said Swift has been supportive of her career for “years” and that she admires how the star “treats her fans.”\n\n\n\nShe noted that even though they’re the same age, she has “looked up to Swift since she was a teenager.”\n\n\n\nWhether Morris was actually invited to Friday’s highly speculated wedding festivities remains unclear, but she said she’s “really happy to be here [in New York] during this frenzy.”\n\n\n\nSwift and Kelce are hosting 1,100 people at Madison Square Garden on Friday, a source with knowledge of the matter, who is among the invitees, told NBC News. Guests were sent nondisclosure agreements along with the electronic invites. There are also no phones allowed, the source said.\n\n\n\nThe couple reportedly held an intimate dinner Thursday night at Infosys Theater, a venue inside Madison Square Garden, according to a schedule obtained by the Associated Press. It was described as a “pre‑party celebration” for 100 guests.\n\n\n\nTaylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship timeline\n\n\n\nSwift and Kelce’s relationship began to take shape in July 2023, when Kelce revealed on his “New Heights” podcast that he had tried to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number after attending her Eras Tour stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. Despite the arena being home to the Chiefs, Kelce failed to get close to Swift and expressed his disappointment.\n\n\n\n“She doesn’t meet anybody, or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal,” he quipped. The podcast asked on Instagram: “Anyone know how to get a bracelet to @taylorswift13? … asking for a friend.”\n\n\n\nBy September 2023, Kelce was hinting his efforts had achieved some success, but declined to elaborate amid speculation and as reports surfaced that the two had been “quietly hanging out.” Then, Kelce revealed on a sports talk show that he’d invited Swift to a game at Arrowhead. “I threw the ball in her court,” he said.\n\n\n\nDays later, Swift took him up on his offer and attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game seated alongside Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, in a moment that effectively confirmed the growing connection. The two left the stadium together in Kelce’s purple Chevelle. Her appearance, the first of many, sent NFL viewership and Kelce jersey sales surging.\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter Taylor Swift wrapped her concert in Buenos Aires, the pop star put on a different kind of show with her new beau, NFL star Travis Kelce.\n\n\n\nIn October 2023, Swift and Kelce were spotted together multiple times in New York City, including intimate dinners and a surprise “Saturday Night Live” cameo. Their comfort level in public increased and the pair was photographed leaving after‑parties hand‑in‑hand, signaling that the relationship was getting serious.\n\n\n\nKelce, meanwhile, traveled internationally during the NFL bye week in November to attend Swift’s Eras Tour stop in Argentina, where she changed a lyric in “Karma” to reference him. “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me,” she sang.\n\n\n\nThe relationship continued into 2024, with Swift attending playoff games, including the AFC Championship Game, where she joined Kelce on the field after the Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens to advance to the Super Bowl. The couple kissed, and in a viral moment heard around the world, Kelce tells Swift, “I love you. So much it’s not funny.”\n\n\n\nWeeks later, Swift raced across nine time zones after performing in Tokyo to attend the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win against the San Francisco 49ers. The “Love Story” singer again kissed Kelce on the field, making it clear they were not shying away from public displays of affection.\n\n\n\n\n\nTaylor Swift is celebrating Travis Kelce’s Super Bowl win with a kiss. The Grammy winner took to the field after her man’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, won the Super Bowl on Sunday.\n\n\n\nThroughout spring and summer 2024, the couple balanced Swift’s touring schedule and Kelce’s offseason commitments, appearing together at charity events, concerts and family gatherings. Kelce even made his Eras stage debut at one of London concerts, donning a tuxedo and top hat and carrying Swift in his arms during a choreographed bit before “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”\n\n\n\nThe two began showing very public support and admiration for one another, with Kelce calling her “unbelievable” on his “New Heights” podcast, and Swift shouting out Kelce as she accepted an MTV Video Music Award. \n\n\n\n“Everything this man touches turns to happiness and fun and magic,” she said.\n\n\n\nWhen Swift announced her highly anticipated 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” she did it on Kelce’s podcast, her first-ever podcast appearance. She also credited “New Heights” for getting her a boyfriend.\n\n\n\n\n\nTaylor Swift and Travis Kelce are major couple goals. The pop icon appeared with her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason on their podcast “New Heights” on Wednesday.\n\n\n\nKelce, in return, credited the Eras Tour for getting him a girlfriend. “I see you on that stage and see how you can get an entire stadium going, and then I get you in a room and it’s like I’ve known you forever,” he said. “It’s the easiest conversation I ever had, and it was just so much fun that it knocked my socks off.”\n\n\n\nIn August 2025, after two years of dating, Swift and Kelce announced their engagement in a five-photo carousel post on their Instagram accounts. Kelce proposed in a floral‑filled garden of his home in Lee’s Summit, Missouri.\n\n\n\n“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the post was captioned.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/maren-morris-says-taylor-swift-hard-person-buy-ahead-reported-wedding-celebration/4044596/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Julia Elbaba","publishDate":"2026-07-03T13:30:55.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-1135879030.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4000%2C2667","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"maren-morris-says-taylor-swift-is-a-hard-person-to-buy-for-ahead-of-reported-wedding-celebration"},{"id":"5zw2o5","title":"Dallas budget crisis leads to furloughs for city employees","excerpt":"Thousands of city employees will be required to take unpaid time off after Dallas leaders announced furloughs as part of an effort to address a $30 million budget shortfall.\n\n\n\nCity Manager Kim Tolbert said the decision was not the preferred solution but was necessary to reduce expenses.\n\n\n\nUnder...","content":"Thousands of city employees will be required to take unpaid time off after Dallas leaders announced furloughs as part of an effort to address a $30 million budget shortfall.\n\n\n\nCity Manager Kim Tolbert said the decision was not the preferred solution but was necessary to reduce expenses.\n\n\n\nUnder the plan, most nonuniform city employees will be required to take three predetermined furlough days, including one day in July and two days in September. The move is expected to save the city millions of dollars.\n\n\n\nChris Bowers, a former assistant city attorney for the City of Dallas, said furloughs can have lasting effects on employees.\n\n\n\n“I experienced it. In 2008 and 2009, the city had several furlough days,” Bowers said.\n\n\n\nWhile three days may seem minor to some, Bowers said the impact can be significant.\n\n\n\n“It meant that your paychecks were smaller than you might’ve expected. It meant the days that you were eligible to retire would be pushed off a few more days in the future,” he said.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe announcement quickly drew reactions from members of the Dallas City Council.\n\n\n\nCouncilwoman Cara Mendelsohn released a statement criticizing the use of furloughs as a short-term solution.\n\n\n\n“Instead of looking at short-term solutions like a furlough, I’d like to see departments that have grown tremendously over the last several years, like HR, Data Analytics, City Attorney’s Office, Mayor & City Council Office, return to the staffing levels of 2017,” Mendelsohn said in part. “There are other departments that are outside the scope of the city, like Community Empowerment, that should really be a county function, and some that are administering ineffective programs that need to be sunset.”\n\n\n\nMendelsohn also called for reducing the number of boards and commissions, scaling back the civilian pension cost-of-living adjustment, and requiring a full return to the office for city employees.\n\n\n\nCouncilman Adam Bazaldua also criticized the decision and the way it was communicated to council members.\n\n\n\n“This news is incredibly frustrating, as no matter the budget issues encountered, cutting workers’ pay should be the last resort we default to,” Bazaldua said in part.\n\n\n\n“It’s incredibly disappointing to find out this information via correspondence intended for the media, instead of a one-to-one conversations, so that council feedback could be factored into this decision. Oftentimes, council conversations are the only way the resident’s perspective gets factored into executive decisions – this is not a detail we should gloss over,” he added.\n\n\n\nBowers said the city manager has broad authority over city employees and the ability to implement furloughs.\n\n\n\n“The city manager is in control of the vast majority of city employees. They report directly or indirectly to her,” Bowers said.\n\n\n\n“It’s her prerogative to institute furloughs. It’s probably advisable that she let the elected officials that she reports to know about her decision-making,” he said.\n\n\n\nDallas Mayor Eric Johnson also released a statement, saying he has pushed for spending reductions and believes the effort has become increasingly urgent.\n\n\n\nJohnson said the city should examine every part of municipal government for opportunities to reduce spending.\n\n\n\n“At a time when rising costs continue to strain family budgets across this city, we simply cannot raise taxes in lieu of addressing much deeper and more structural fiscal challenges. These challenges are rooted in the City’s relaxed approach to spending and the longstanding resistance around the horseshoe to making meaningful spending reductions,” Johnson said in part.\n\n\n\nThe furloughs are expected to affect most nonuniform city employees as Dallas works to close its budget gap.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/dallas-budget-crisis-furloughs-city-employees/4043326/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Candace Sweat","publishDate":"2026-06-30T21:35:37.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Fdallas-city-employees.png%3Ffit%3D859%2C483%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"dallas-budget-crisis-leads-to-furloughs-for-city-employees"},{"id":"qvwhbw","title":"Best summer toys and gear to keep kids busy and entertained all season long","excerpt":"Summer break brings plenty of opportunities for fun, and plenty of opportunities for kids to announce they’re bored. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re looking to encourage outdoor play, build independence or simply survive the long days between camps and vacations, these products can help keep kids engaged all ...","content":"Summer break brings plenty of opportunities for fun, and plenty of opportunities for kids to announce they’re bored. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re looking to encourage outdoor play, build independence or simply survive the long days between camps and vacations, these products can help keep kids engaged all season long.\n\n\n\nSkylight Buddy\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSummer routines can quickly disappear once school lets out, which is where the new Skylight Buddy comes in.

Urban Air’s Unlimited Play Summer Pass offers three months of unlimited visits to the indoor adventure park for $79.99 with no blackout dates.\n\n\n\nThe pass arrives as many parents say they’re looking for activities that do more than simply keep kids occupied. A recent survey commissioned by youth enrichment company Unleashed Brands found that 68% of parents prioritize confidence-building activities, while many worry their children’s summer programs are little more than time fillers.\n\n\n\nFrom climbing attractions to obstacle courses, active play can help kids build confidence and resilience while burning off some of that endless summer energy.\n\n\n\nCamp Snap 2 Screen-Free Digital Camera\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor parents looking to cut down on screen time without taking away the fun of technology, the Camp Snap 2 offers a modern take on the classic point-and-shoot camera.

Surfer Dudes Classics are designed to do the opposite — kids simply toss them into the surf and watch as they catch the waves and ride right back to shore.\n\n\n\nThe secret is the toy’s self-righting design, which allows it to turn itself around and surf back again and again without batteries or remote controls. That means endless entertainment with very little effort from parents.\n\n\n\nMade from durable materials with no sharp edges or small parts, Surfer Dudes are built for long beach days, pool trips and family vacations, making them an easy addition to any summer packing list.\n\n\n\nHape Pocket Swing\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA swing can instantly turn an ordinary outdoor spot into a favorite summer destination.

The National Archives\n\n\n\nThe Declaration was among a collection of papers seized by the Royal Navy in December 1776, after it captured the American privateer vessel the Dalton, it said.\n\n\n\n“It was an amazing addition to the story of the Dalton and the many other privateers that fought the British at sea,” Amanda Bevan, who leads the National Archives’ project cataloging Royal Navy correspondence from the American Revolution, told NBC News in an email Friday.\n\n\n\nPrivateers were privately owned ships authorized by the Continental Congress to attack British merchant vessels, disrupting trade and military supply lines during the Revolutionary War.\n\n\n\n“But the presence of the Declaration on the Dalton made it clear that they were doing this in the service of an ideal,” Bevan said.\n\n\n\nThe seized papers also included the Dalton’s commission, which granted the ship permission from Continental Congress to attack British vessels, and other official orders explaining the rules of warfare for privateers.\n\n\n\nBevan said it was common for such documents to be read aloud to crews to reinforce discipline.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“But I like to think that if Captain Johnson read the orders and the commission to his crew, he also read the Declaration to them,” she added. “It would have made clear what they were fighting for and involved all of them in that hope for a better world.”\n\n\n\nThe Dalton’s mission, however, ended in defeat.\n\n\n\nOn Christmas Eve 1776, the 18-gun vessel commanded by Eleazer Johnson was pursued for seven hours by the 64-gun HMS Raisonnable, commanded by Capt. Thomas Fitzherbert of the Royal Navy, before being captured off the coast of Portugal. Johnson and his crew of about 120 men were later imprisoned in Plymouth, England.\n\n\n\nThe seized Declaration, listed simply as “another paper” in the Royal Navy inventory, remained buried in British archives for centuries. It was eventually uncovered by Michael Scurr, a retired insurance executive who has volunteered at Britain’s National Archives for the past 11 years.\n\n\n\nWhile carrying out routine cataloging work designed to make the archives more accessible for future researchers, Scurr opened a report on the Dalton’s capture and immediately realized he had found something extraordinary.\n\n\n\nLetters from the Prize Papers collection, taken from ships (prizes) captured by the Royal Navy and British privateers between 1652 and 1815. The National Archives / Prize Papers Project\n\n\n\n“I thought, oh, right, this is definitely a Declaration of Independence,” Scurr told The Associated Press. “How exciting is this?”\n\n\n\nTo explain why the document went unnoticed for more than 250 years after it was seized by the British, historians say it is important to remember that its historical significance was not obvious when it was issued.\n\n\n\nAfter the Dalton was seized, the Declaration “might not have had the same significance and status for someone in the Royal Navy then that it would have subsequently,” said Nicholas Guyatt, a professor of North American history at the University of Cambridge. \n\n\n\n“From the British perspective, it was simply another document seized among many others,” he said. “It was filed away, sent back to London and ultimately disappeared into the archives.”\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAmerica250\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 3\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe story behind one of the most famous American speeches in history\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nGuyatt added that the discovery serves as a reminder that physical archives continue to yield important historical finds.\n\n\n\n“It reminds us that it still takes someone working through physical collections to uncover an object that can reshape our understanding of an event or provide entirely new historical context,” he said.\n\n\n\nThe Associated Press contributed.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/rare-declaration-independence-found-in-uk/4044550/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Elmira Aliieva | NBC News","publishDate":"2026-07-03T11:27:13.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FGettyImages-2283833655.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4102%2C2307","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"rare-copy-of-the-declaration-of-independence-seized-by-the-british-in-1776-is-found"},{"id":"tpdg48","title":"Paris deputy mayor blames the United States' carbon emissions for deadly heat wave","excerpt":"Paris Deputy Mayor Audrey Pulvar released a lengthy statement blaming the United States for the deadly heat wave over France this past week.","content":"Paris Deputy Mayor Audrey Pulvar released a lengthy statement blaming the United States for the deadly heat wave over France this past week.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/paris-deputy-mayor-blames-united-states-carbon-emissions-deadly-heat-wave","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","publishDate":"2026-06-30T21:05:08.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.livenowfox.com%2Fwww.livenowfox.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Fparis-heat-wave.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"paris-deputy-mayor-blames-the-united-states-carbon-emissions-for-deadly-heat-wave"},{"id":"mmndkg","title":"ICE arrests 10,000 in 5 days, a sharp late-June surge in Trump's deportation push","excerpt":"Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 10,000 people over a five-day period at the end of June, marking a major push by the agency tasked with carrying out the Trump administration’s mass deportations agenda.\n\n\n\nThe arrest numbers, obtained from a person familiar with the information who sp...","content":"Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 10,000 people over a five-day period at the end of June, marking a major push by the agency tasked with carrying out the Trump administration’s mass deportations agenda.\n\n\n\nThe arrest numbers, obtained from a person familiar with the information who spoke anonymously to discuss data that has not been publicly released, comes after the agency shifted its approach from high-profile arrest sweeps in major American cities to quieter ways to reach President Donald Trump’s deportation goals. \n\n\n\nThe figures indicate that while the administration is no longer cracking down on individual cities, the arrests continue and are surging. \n\n\n\nThe total number of arrests during the five-day period starting Friday and ending Tuesday translates into roughly 2,000 arrests per day. It was not clear where the arrests had taken place.\n\n\n\nThe spike in arrests was first reported by The New York Times.\n\n\n\n“Since Day One, DHS law enforcement has been delivering on President Trump’s promise to the American people to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens including murderers, rapists, pedophiles, gang members, and terrorists,” said the Department of Homeland Security in a statement. “Our message is clear: if you come to our country illegally, we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will deport you.”\n\n\n\nThe arrests news also comes as the number of people entered into ICE detention facilities climbed in June to roughly 39,000 after hovering around 30,000 per month since February, according to information obtained by The Associated Press.\n\n\n\nICE doesn’t publicly release arrest data, making exact comparisons with previous periods difficult. But according to data provided to UC Berkeley’s Deportation Data Project and analyzed by The Associated Press, 2,000 arrests per day would mark a sharp increase over previous periods.\n\n\n\nDecember had the most ICE arrests since the beginning of the Trump administration, and that month only averaged 1,283 arrests per day nationwide. \n\n\n\nIn January, at a time when the administration flooded the streets of Minneapolis and surrounding regions with hundreds of immigration enforcement officers, arrests averaged about 1,212 per day across the country.\n\n\n\nBut Minneapolis proved to be a turning point in the Trump administration’s mass deportations agenda after two American citizens were killed by immigration officers while protesting the crackdown in Minneapolis.\n\n\n\nBorder Czar Tom Homan started drawing down the number of officers in Minnesota as the agency stepped back from the flashy surge operations that had been common during the tenure of then- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.\n\n\n\nOperations under Noem headed by former Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino were marked by frequent clashes between immigration enforcement officers and protesters, in footage that was often splashed across the Department’s social media channels. \n\n\n\nIn February, immigration arrests fell to 1,057 a day, according to information from the Deportation Data Project. The Project sued through the Freedom of Information Act to obtain the ICE arrests data and it is only current through February.\n\n\n\nAfter Noem was fired, her successor at Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, suggested he’d be taking a more low-profile approach to immigration enforcement and he aimed to get the department out of the headlines. But Mullin was expected to adopt Trump’s priorities on immigration.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/politics/ice-arrests-sharp-late-june-surge-trump-deportation-push/4044527/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Rebecca Santana | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-03T10:16:14.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2FAP26166642963651.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2531%2C1688","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"ice-arrests-10000-in-5-days-a-sharp-late-june-surge-in-trumps-deportation-push"},{"id":"yd7ygk","title":"Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding buzz peaks at Madison Square Garden","excerpt":"Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Madison Square Garden wedding has arrived, and guests in formalwear have headed into the arena amid high heat, humming buzz and tented secrecy in Midtown Manhattan. \n\n\n\nThe long anticipated union of sports and song has brought hype to new heights at a venue usually...","content":"Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Madison Square Garden wedding has arrived, and guests in formalwear have headed into the arena amid high heat, humming buzz and tented secrecy in Midtown Manhattan. \n\n\n\nThe long anticipated union of sports and song has brought hype to new heights at a venue usually reserved for big games and bucket-list concerts. It was expected to begin at 5 p.m., with the close friends and family of the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and the pop superstar celebrating along with several hundred other luminaries. \n\n\n\nSinger Camila Cabello, actors Hugh Grant, Ethan Hawke and Jason Sudeikis, and model Karlie Kloss were among those arriving minutes before the expected start time. Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt, Seattle Seahawks receiver Cooper Kupp, NFL announcer Joe Buck and Jenny Han, author of the “The Summer I Turned Pretty” series, also entered the arena.\n\n\n\nAn Associated Press camera outside the arena showed a long line of black SUVs dropping off wedding-goers in tuxedos and evening gowns, surrounded by New Yorkers in shorts and Swifties amassing for the occasion. By 5:30 p.m. the arrivals appeared to be essentially over. \n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tToday Show\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJul 3\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaren Morris says Taylor Swift is a ‘hard person to buy for' ahead of reported wedding celebration\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nCelebrities, athletes and friends were posting on social media about getting ready or about to leave for a black-tie event, including Brandon Borders, producer of the New Heights podcast starring Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce; Beau Allen, retired defensive lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles; and Jessica Chastain.\n\n\n\nHeavy secrecy has left plenty of blank spaces that media outlets and fans are seeking to fill in. A city permit obtained by the AP shows that Friday’s wedding event could last until 4 a.m. Guests appeared as though they were coming to a big awards show, but their arrivals were obscured by tents and gazebos in an odd mix of hype and hush. \n\n\n\nOutside the arena, some frazzled tourists joked that it was a bad weekend to visit as they navigated strict road and sidewalk closures, but others appeared happy to sneak a peak at the spectacle. Police cut off most access where guests were being dropped off, but a few patrons gathered in nearby businesses ahead of World Cup matches and peered out windows.\n\n\n\nDiana Warshavsky, who lives in New York, decided to head over to MSG on Friday to celebrate Swift and Kelce’s wedding with fellow Swifties and “send her good vibes.”\n\n\n\n“We’re relatively the same age, I’m a year older than her and I just got married this year as well,” Warshavsky said. “I’m just so happy for her.”\n\n\n\nThe relationship of the pop star and the football player has continued to thrill and fascinate millions around the world — particularly the Swifties, the pop star’s enormous and ardent fan base — for the past three years ever since the pair first started dating.\n\n\n\nKey questions remain over how Swift and Kelce have transformed MSG into a wedding venue fit for a billionaire and the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, as well as who may perform and who will officiate. Trucks and crews have been going in and out of the venue for days, setting up tents and whisking massive materials inside, setting off more speculation about MSG’s makeover. \n\n\n\nAnd while fans have seen Swift wear wedding dresses in plenty of music videos over the years, many also remain eager to see what looks she will unveil at the wedding. \n\n\n\nThe wedding is taking place during a jam-packed weekend even by New York’s standards. It’s the July Fourth weekend, where the city will be partake in celebrating the nation’s 250th birthday. Separately, a parade of dozens of tall ships will take place on the Hudson River, and a World Cup game is scheduled in New Jersey. \n\n\n\nEarlier this week, Swift and Kelce donated $26 million to 20 local and national charities across the U.S. Many of the organizations were located in areas where the couple has deep ties, including Nashville, Tennessee; Los Angeles; Kansas City, Missouri; and New York. \n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nDalton reported from Los Angeles.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/fairytale-at-msg-taylor-swift-travis-kelce-wedding/4044674/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Top Stories","author":"Andrew Dalton, Jake Offenhartz and Kimberlee Kruesi | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-07-03T09:15:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F07%2Fimage-21.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1500%2C846","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"taylor-swift-and-travis-kelces-wedding-buzz-peaks-at-madison-square-garden"},{"id":"8p32yb","title":"Eight arrested after repeated attempts to enter World Cup matches without tickets","excerpt":"Despite heightened security around World Cup matches at Dallas Stadium, Arlington police say eight people have now been arrested for attempting to enter games without tickets.\n\n\n\nThe latest arrests occurred Saturday during the Argentina vs. Jordan match.

NBC 5 Investigates found similar incidents have happened multiple times during the tournament.\n\n\n\nPolice said all eight people arrested have been charged with criminal trespass.\n\n\n\nOn Saturday, Arlington police arrested 32-year-old New Zealand national Catalina Gambadoro, 26-year-old Argentine national Alejo Melgar and 18-year-old Kareem Kakour, who has an Indiana address.\n\n\n\nAccording to police, the three were apprehended quickly and did not make it inside the stadium. However, police said at least four people arrested this month were able to gain access to the venue before being caught.\n\n\n\nNBC 5 Investigates obtained police reports detailing arrests made on June 22 during the Argentina vs. Austria match.\n\n\n\nAccording to the reports:\n\n\n\n• Gerardo Nielsen, 46, of Cordoba, Spain, and Juan Ignacio Campoamor, 35, of Hollywood, Florida, unlawfully entered AT&T Stadium property without effective consent. Police said both had noticed that entry without a ticket was prohibited and pushed through a hole in a fence to gain access.\n\n\n\n• Leandro Ayala, 46, of Buenos Aires, Argentina, allegedly jumped a fence to gain access to AT&T Stadium without purchasing a ticket. Police said he entered the property without the owner’s effective consent despite notice that entry without a ticket was prohibited.\n\n\n\n• Federico Llach, 45, of Plano, allegedly crossed ticketed barriers and trespassed into AT&T Stadium.\n\n\n\nEarlier in the tournament, on June 14, police arrested Ryan King, 39, during the Japan vs. Netherlands match. According to a police report, King attempted to climb a security fence and enter the stadium before it opened to the public.\n\n\n\nOfficers quickly located and arrested him. The report states that officers determined he intended to watch the match without purchasing a ticket.\n\n\n\nSecurity measures at the stadium include vehicle barriers, metal fencing around the perimeter, and a heavy police presence at entry checkpoints.\n\n\n\nAfter the initial arrests, Arlington police said they were reviewing security procedures. It remains unclear whether any security changes have been implemented following the additional arrests.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/arrest-dallas-stadium-no-tickets/4043308/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Jala Washington and Eva Parks","publishDate":"2026-06-30T20:45:16.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Fdownload-3-2.png%3Ffit%3D859%2C483%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"eight-arrested-after-repeated-attempts-to-enter-world-cup-matches-without-tickets"},{"id":"352v3e","title":"Arlington celebrates 150 years on July 4","excerpt":"The city of Arlington is marking a major milestone this Fourth of July, celebrating a century and a half of history.

And without Trump on the ballot, Republican leaders worry that it could be hard to galvanize their voters.\n\n\n\nTrump hopes the convention would help change that dynamic, and he’s been talking about it since last year. He floated in a social media post that Republicans would use the event “to show the great things we have done since the Presidential Election of 2024.”\n\n\n\nLocating the convention in Texas places a spotlight on the state’s Senate race, which pits Democratic nominee James Talarico against Republican nominee Ken Paxton.\n\n\n\nPaxton is the state attorney general who, with Trump’s backing, defeated longtime Sen. John Cornyn in a primary earlier this year. Republican Senate leaders fear that Paxton’s history of scandals — including an extramarital affair, an impeachment and a securities fraud case that did not lead to a conviction — could undermine his candidacy and turn a winnable race into a drain on party resources.\n\n\n\nIt also highlights the aftereffects of Trump’s mid-decade redistricting push that began in Texas, an effort to secure more seats for Republicans in this fall’s elections.\n\n\n\nThe Republican National Committee began laying the groundwork earlier this year, voting at its winter meeting in January to make such an event possible by amending procedures centered around quadrennial presidential nominating conventions.\n\n\n\nDemocrats considered holding a similar gathering ahead of the midterms but tabled the idea. However, the party did hold such conferences in the 1970s and 1980s.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/gop-republicans-midterm-convention-dallas-trump/4043219/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Meg Kinnard | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-06-30T17:04:28.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Ftrump-dallas.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"gop-to-hold-midterm-convention-in-dallas-to-show-the-great-things-we-have-done-trump-says"},{"id":"17ndcx","title":"After rainbow crosswalk removal, Cedar Springs steps symbolize resilience","excerpt":"Less than a year after rainbow crosswalks disappeared from Cedar Springs, the neighborhood has found a new symbol of LGBTQ visibility: brightly painted rainbow steps.\n\n\n\nCommunity organizers celebrated the transformation of the steps outside The Oak Lawn Library into a vibrant rainbow installatio...","content":"Less than a year after rainbow crosswalks disappeared from Cedar Springs, the neighborhood has found a new symbol of LGBTQ visibility: brightly painted rainbow steps.\n\n\n\nCommunity organizers celebrated the transformation of the steps outside The Oak Lawn Library into a vibrant rainbow installation, culminating with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and dance party on June 27.\n\n\n\nRibbon cutting of the new Oak Lawn Library steps. Image courtesy Lee Daugherty \n\n\n\nThe colorful steps welcome visitors to Oak Lawn while reinforcing a message of safety, visibility and inclusion in one of Dallas’ historic LGBTQ neighborhoods.\n\n\n\nThe project grew after the removal of roughly 30 rainbow crosswalks earlier this year, after Republican Gov. Greg Abbott directed agencies to eliminate what he described as “non-compliant roadway markings.”\n\n\n\nKevin Miller, president of the Cedar Springs Merchant Association, said the effort grew out of conversations among neighbors after the rainbow crosswalks were removed. Miller said the neighborhood wanted a response that would endure.\n\n\n\n“Social media grabbed hold of it and said, let’s do something, let’s go paint the crosswalk at 2 a.m.” said Miller, “But we knew that wasn’t going to really be a lasting measure, so we invited folks to come back to this, to the CSMA meetings and talk about ideas.”\n\n\n\nThe crosswalks, first painted in 2020 with private funding from community organizations including the Cedar Springs Merchant Association, had been restored only months before they were removed.\n\n\n\nAfter their removal, the city and local community came together to help explore new ways to recognize and celebrate the neighborhood’s identity. In response, rainbow colors spread throughout Cedar Springs.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn October 2025, the Oak Lawn United Methodist Church painted its front steps in rainbow colors in a defiant show of support to the local LGBTQ community after residents encouraged businesses and institutions to display Pride symbols throughout the neighborhood.\n\n\n\nThe Dallas Landmark Commission later unanimously approved allowing the steps to remain in place on the historic church property for at least three years.\n\n\n\nBusinesses have painted storefronts and outdoor spaces, while new public art has continued to appear across the district.\n\n\n\n“Some of the barbershops painted their awnings, some bars painted different areas of their bars out front or put on coverings, some made banners,” said Miller.\n\n\n\nThe newest additions came Monday, when community leaders unveiled four painted bike racks. Speakers at the unveiling also highlighted walkability, transit access and bicycle infrastructure, arguing that welcoming public spaces extend beyond symbolic artwork to include how people safely move through the neighborhood.\n\n\n\nAcross the district, rainbow-colored public art has become an increasingly visible expression of the neighborhood’s history and identity, each new installation adding to a growing network of landmarks that community members say signal welcome, safety and belonging.\n\n\n\nThe two sets of painted steps are intended as bookends, marking the beginning and the end of a neighborhood with a long history of advocacy and community support. \n\n\n\n“Together, these new library steps and our church steps now bookend a neighborhood that has long been a refuge, a place of resilience, and a home for so many,” said Rev. Ryan Wager, executive pastor at Oak Lawn United Methodist Church.\n\n\n\nFor advocates in Oak Lawn, cans of paint and public art represent quiet rebellion and a message of unity.\n\n\n\n“We celebrate every visible reminder that our LGBTQIA+ neighbors belong in the life of our city. We are so appreciative of everyone that made the rainbow steps happen at the Oak Lawn Library,” said Wager in a written statement. “They are more than public art. They are an invitation. They remind every child, every family, every longtime resident, every visitor, and every person who has ever wondered if there is a place for them that they are seen, valued, and welcomed.”\n\n\n\nFor Miller, the project is also personal. He grew up on Cedar Springs and said he has watched the neighborhood evolve over the decades.\n\n\n\n“I grew up on this strip, and I’ve seen two generations of crosswalks come and go,” he said. \n\n\n\nMiller has a long history in Cedar Springs; his parents, Gary Miller and Alan Pierce, are owners of the Round Up Saloon and are original members of the Dallas Pride Board of Directors.\n\n\n\n“If you know the history of the Round-Up, it’s not just a bar for them,” Miller explained; it was a place where people built community.\n\n\n\nAs the neighborhood changes, he said the work becomes about reaching the next generation to help continue the legacy of connection through community.\n\n\n\n“That’s where I learn, that’s where I grow, is walking around the strip and learning about the stories,” said Miller. “For me, that’s the ever-growing history.”\n\n\n\nCommunity events like the Cedar Springs Wine Walk continue to help fund many of the neighborhood’s public art projects.\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/after-rainbow-crosswalk-removal-cedar-springs-steps-symbolize-resilience/4043145/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Sara Sanchez","publishDate":"2026-06-30T15:01:18.000Z","category":"library","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Fcedar-springs-library.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4000%2C3000","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"after-rainbow-crosswalk-removal-cedar-springs-steps-symbolize-resilience"},{"id":"ruikqn","title":"Former Fairfield police officer charged, surrenders in case of K9 death","excerpt":"The Fairfield Police Department announced a K9 (canine) Officer died earlier this month; the Ennis Police Department is investigating the incident.\n\n\n\nA Fairfield police officer, Joseph Silas, was let go on June 18, six days after the German shepherd died, after Fairfield’s Internal Affairs divis...","content":"The Fairfield Police Department announced a K9 (canine) Officer died earlier this month; the Ennis Police Department is investigating the incident.\n\n\n\nA Fairfield police officer, Joseph Silas, was let go on June 18, six days after the German shepherd died, after Fairfield’s Internal Affairs division investigated.

McKinney’s expansion into commercial air travel had been years in the making and moved forward despite a failed 2023 bond election.\n\n\n\nCity leaders said that outcome led them to pursue a smaller project with different funding sources, including local and state grants and sales-tax-backed debt.\n\n\n\nAirport Director Kenneth Carley said in February that the city reduced the scope to focus on what’s required to operate at the start, with plans to expand later. Carley said the goal was to build only what’s needed for day one and grow from there.\n\n\n\nAvelo’s Courtney Goff said the carrier is drawn to operating at a secondary airport in a large metro area and is excited to be the first airline to be anchored in McKinney.\n\n\n\nHandout photo\n\n\n\nAvelo is also announcing that it will offer introductory one-way fares starting at $99 for customers booking on its website in July.\n\n\n\nCustomers booking in July will also receive their first checked bag free of charge, according to the press release.\n\n\n\n“We are very excited to be the anchor tenant and launch airline at McKinney National Airport, introducing nonstop service to popular destinations including Las Vegas (LAS), Orlando (MCO), Tampa (TPA), Fort Myers (RSW) and Fort Lauderdale (FLL),” said Avelo Airlines Founder and CEO Andrew Levy in a statement. “We believe our everyday low fares, convenient and reliable service, combined with an easy-to-use, small airport, will resonate with North Texas travelers. We are also proud to base two aircraft at DTX, reflecting our long-term commitment to the region. This investment will drive meaningful job creation and economic development, bringing well over 100 new jobs to the area. As a proud Texas company, we are excited to grow our presence just a few hours north of our Houston home. McKinney is a community on the rise, and we’re proud to be its hometown airline.”\n\n\n\nDuring a tour of the airport’s new passenger terminal in February, McKinney Mayor Bill Cox said projections show a significant economic impact tied to the airport’s future, and that an expansion of $600 million to $700 million is expected in the couple of years after the airport begins operations.\n\n\n\n“With growth patterns and traffic and population increases in the Metroplex, really in the northern part of the Metroplex, it only made sense that McKinney National become a reliever airport for DFW and also Love Field,” Cox said in February. “This is bigger than McKinney, and we are as pleased as can be.”\n\n\n\nThe city also said it is on track to secure a second carrier.\n\n\n\nIt is important to note that there are two three-letter identifiers for the McKinney National Airport, which is run by the city of McKinney and overseen by the McKinney City Council. Commercial service operations at the airport can be found using the International Air Transport Association (IATA) code DTX.

Even with questions surrounding how much Lionel Messi would play, if at all, it cost more than $2,000 for the cheapest seat and a chance to see the global superstar, according to StubHub.\n\n\n\nThe upcoming Ivory Coast-Norway game won’t lack star power.

After the flames were brought under control, Patterson struck up a conversation with the man he helped and soon learned the man was a retired firefighter from Mexico.\n\n\n\nPatterson told him that he was a firefighter from Texas, and when local crews arrived, the retired firefighter introduced him to the officer in charge. The firefighters exchanged stories and took a photo together, with Patterson even touring the fire station in downtown Cabo before he left.\n\n\n\nPatterson has been with Plano Fire-Rescue for more than 28 years and serves as a captain at Station 13, the department’s wildland station on the west side of the city. That means his expertise happens to be brushfires, which put him at the right place at the right time in Mexico. \n\n\n\nFirefighters at Station 13 operate specialized brush trucks that are deployed to wildfires and brush fires across North Texas and the state. Over the course of his career, Patterson has been deployed numerous times to major wildfires throughout Texas and beyond.\n\n\n\nAs for his time off work, Patterson said he enjoyed his trip.\n\n\n\n“Yes, we had an awesome vacation,” he told NBC 5. “It was great to get away for a while. And no, neither one of us is currently seeking employment with the fire department in Cabo.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/something-good/plano-firefighter-helps-battle-brush-fire-while-on-vacation-in-mexico/4042931/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) - Local","author":"Alanna Quillen","publishDate":"2026-06-30T09:14:21.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Fposter-frame-6.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"plano-firefighter-helps-battle-brush-fire-while-on-vacation-in-mexico"},{"id":"89t4w","title":"4th of July deals and freebies","excerpt":"Many restaurant chains and food establishments are offering special discounts and freebies on July 4 in an effort to sweeten the holiday.","content":"Many restaurant chains and food establishments are offering special discounts and freebies on July 4 in an effort to sweeten the holiday.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/4th-july-2026-deals-freebies","source":"FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW) - News","author":"Stephanie.Weaver@fox.com (Stephanie Weaver)","publishDate":"2026-07-04T13:24:47.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://frisconews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.livenowfox.com%2Fwww.livenowfox.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Famerica-250.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"slug":"4th-of-july-deals-and-freebies"},{"id":"gkt8lo","title":"What's open and closed on the Fourth of July?

Congress officially designated Independence Day as a federal holiday in 1870.\n\n\n\nIs the post office open on the Fourth of July?\n\n\n\nNo.\n\n\n\nThe U.S. Postal Service will be closed on Saturday, July 4, and there will be no regular mail delivery or retail service. Post offices will reopen and normal mail delivery will resume on Monday, July 6. USPS locations will operate normally on Friday, July 3.\n\n\n\nWill I receive my UPS or FedEx package?\n\n\n\nMost UPS and FedEx pickup and delivery services will not operate on July Fourth.\n\n\n\nUPS says there will be no regular pickup or delivery service on Independence Day, though its UPS Express Critical service remains available. Many UPS Store locations may also be closed or operate with modified hours.\n\n\n\nFedEx will also suspend many delivery operations for the holiday, though some specialty and expedited services may continue operating. Customers should check with their local FedEx office for specific hours and service availability.\n\n\n\nWill banks be open on the Fourth of July?\n\n\n\nMost banks will be closed on Saturday, July 4.\n\n\n\nSince Independence Day falls on a Saturday this year, some banks may observe modified schedules on Friday, July 3, while others will operate normal business hours. Customers are encouraged to check with their local branch. Online banking services and ATMs will remain available.\n\n\n\nAre government offices closed on the Fourth of July?\n\n\n\nFederal offices, courts and many state and local government agencies will be closed on July 4 in observance of the holiday.\n\n\n\nMany DMV locations, Social Security offices and public libraries will also be closed, though hours can vary by jurisdiction.\n\n\n\nWill federal employees get the day off?\n\n\n\nMost federal employees receive a paid holiday for Independence Day. Because July Fourth falls on a Saturday this year, many federal workers observed the holiday on Friday, July 3. State and local government schedules may vary.\n\n\n\nAre businesses open on the Fourth of July?\n\n\n\nMost major retailers, grocery stores and restaurants will remain open on July Fourth, although some locations may operate with reduced holiday hours.\n\n\n\nOne notable exception is warehouse club giant Costco Wholesale, which closes its stores for Independence Day each year.\n\n\n\nMajor retailers including Target and Walmart are expected to remain open, while many grocery chains such as Kroger, Publix and Whole Foods Market also plan to operate, though some may have shortened hours. Customers should check with their local store before heading out.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/national-international/whats-open-closed-fourth-of-july-what-to-know-2026/4044122/","source":"NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS) -
