Colorado State

Public health experts are closely monitoring Colorado, following the unexpected spread of H5N1 bird flu into America’s dairy cattle herds and a potential cluster of human cases there. On July 14, Colorado officials announced that five workers involved in culling 1.8 million chickens at an H5N1-infected egg farm in Weld County had tested positive for the virus. The strain infecting these workers appears closely related to the virus affecting cows in Colorado and at least 12 other states.

Doug Emhoff’s daughter and ex-wife criticized Ohio GOP Sen. JD Vance after comments he once made referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as childless re-emerged. During a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson on Fox News, Vance — now former President Donald Trump’s running mate — said Harris was one of the “childless cat ladies” who “want to make the rest of the country miserable too.” Vance added, “If you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez], the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children.”

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”

I spend a lot of time explaining to people that our focus is Alameda, and Alameda alone, so our coverage doesn’t usually include stories as horrific as this one.

The bubonic plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, is not a thing of the past. While cases in the US are relatively rare, Oregon recently confirmed its first case in eight years. Officials suspect the infection was transmitted from a domestic cat to its owner, who became seriously ill but responded well to antibiotics. Symptoms typically start with flu-like signs but can progress to painful swollen lymph nodes, called buboes, and potentially life-threatening complications if left untreated.
