Ground beef sold nationwide possibly contaminated with E. coli

ground beef recallA public health alert has been issued for organic ground beef products that reportedly could be contaminated with E. coli, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has announced.

The alert, issued by FSIS, applies to some Organic Rancher products distributed to Whole Foods Market locations nationwide.

According to FSIS, there was no recall request since the products are no longer for sale. However, food safety officials are worried that consumers could still have some of the ground beef in their refrigerators or freezers. They advise that the affected product should not be consumed.

Here’s what to check for:

  • 1-pound vacuum-packed packages of “Organic Rancher Organic Ground Beef 85% Lean 15% Fat”
  • The affected beef was produced on May 22, 2025, and May 23, 2025, and has the use-by or freeze-by dates of June 19, 2025, and June 20, 2025, on the packaging.
  • The product bears the establishment number “EST. 4027” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

US judge rules prisons must provide gender-affirming care for trans people

dept. of prisons

A US judge on Tuesday ruled the US Bureau of Prisons must keep providing transgender inmates gender-affirming care, despite an executive order Donald Trump signed on his first day back in office to halt funding for such care.

US district judge Royce Lamberth in Washington DC allowed a group of more than 2,000 transgender inmates in federal prisons to pursue a lawsuit challenging the order as a class action. He ordered the Bureau of Prisons to provide them with hormone therapy and accommodations such as clothing and hair-removal devices while the lawsuit plays out.

The ruling does not require the bureau to provide surgical care related to gender transitions.

Harrison Fields, a White House spokesperson, said the Trump administration expects to ultimately prevail in the legal dispute.

Exodus of USDA veterinarians and others drives fears that U.S. farms are at risk

Health risks on farms

Back in early March, Massachusetts Agriculture Commissioner Ashley Randle sent a letter to the new U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, voicing congratulations — and a number of concerns.

Randle, a fifth-generation dairy farmer, shared that USDA's freeze on grants — imposed before Rollins was sworn in — had left Massachusetts farmers in limbo, wondering if they'd ever be reimbursed for investments they'd made based on those grants.

She also sounded the alarm on positions that had been cut.

"The loss of USDA staff has also left Massachusetts farmers without essential resources that have long been an important part of their success," Randle wrote, pointing to diminished staffing at the local Farm Service Agency office, which helps with loans, insurance and disaster relief.

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst Blocks Bill Protecting Right To Birth Control

Jodi ErnstDemocratic legislation that would protect the right to birth control and other contraceptives was blocked by Senate Republicans on Wednesday, a little more than a month after the Supreme Court reversed nearly 50 years of precedent and overturned abortion rights.

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) objected to a request to pass the bill via unanimous consent. If any senator opposes such a request on the Senate floor, it is rejected.

Ernst claimed the Democrats’ bill “purposefully goes far beyond the scope of contraception” and said it could fund abortion providers and protect abortion-inducing drugs.

The House passed the Right to Contraception Act last week amid fears that the high court may come for reproductive health care next. Democrats pointed to an opinion from Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas suggesting the court should reexamine precedent that guaranteed the right to contraception.

Missouri Supreme Court Halts Abortion Access, Defying Will Of The Voters

Moussouri S.C.The Missouri Supreme Court has halted abortion access in the state for now, upending a constitutional amendment that voters put in place last year and delivering a “devastating” setback for patients in need of immediate abortion care, reproductive rights advocates say.

The state’s highest court ruled Tuesday that a district judge must vacate her two recent rulings issuing preliminary injunctions protecting abortion rights, which were reinstated by voters last November following a 2022 ban in the wake of the fall of Roe v. Wade.

“This latest attack by the Missouri Supreme Court is unconstitutional, unconscionable, and downright dirty politics,” Mini Timmaraju, the president of Reproductive Freedom for All, said in reacting to the ruling. “It is devastating for people across the country to know that even if they organize, vote, and pass measures to protect their reproductive care, extreme GOP actors will still try to take away our constitutional rights.”

A New COVID Variant Is Here, And It's More Transmissible — Here Are The Signs And Symptoms

New Covid variantA new COVID variant known as NB.1.8.1 has made landfall in the United States. The variant, which was first detected in China this past January, currently accounts for 10% of the SARS-CoV-2 sequences tested from around the world, recent surveillance data found. That’s a significant jump from 2.5% four weeks ago.

A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) spokesperson told HuffPost that the agency is in regular contact with international partners about the activity of NB.1.8.1. To date, only 20 NB.1.8.1 sequences have been identified in the U.S. — that’s below the threshold needed for a variant to appear on the agency’s COVID dashboard. (As soon as its prevalence increases, NB.1.8.1 will pop up on the tracker, the spokesperson added.)

Here’s what to know about the newest COVID variant that’s gaining traction around the world.

NB.1.8.1’s mutations likely make it more transmissible.

Compared to the currently dominant variant in the U.S. (LP.8.1), NB.1.8.1 has a handful of new mutations on the spike protein that may enhance its ability to bind to our cells, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn't warning the public like it was months ago

Disease info not given

To accomplish its mission of increasing the health security of the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that it "conducts critical science and provides health information" to protect the nation. But since President Trump's administration assumed power in January, many of the platforms the CDC used to communicate with the public have gone silent, an NPR analysis found.

Many of the CDC's newsletters have stopped being distributed, workers at the CDC say. Health alerts about disease outbreaks, previously sent to health professionals subscribed to the CDC's Health Alert Network, haven't been dispatched since March. The agency's main social media channels have come under new ownership of the Department of Health and Human Services, emails reviewed by NPR show, and most have gone more than a month without posting their own new content.
