Food safety under the microscope: Recalls of infant formula and pasta spark urgent health warnings
A growing food safety crisis has sparked nationwide concern as the FDA expands recalls of ByHeart Whole Nutrition infant formula and multiple pasta products linked to serious health risks. The agency confirmed reports of infant botulism, a rare but potentially life-threatening illness, in connection with contaminated formula, and a separate listeria outbreak tied to ready-to-eat pasta that has left 27 people sick and six dead. Health officials are urging parents and consumers to check their kitchens immediately. Symptoms of infant botulism can include poor feeding, constipation, drooping eyelids, a weak cry, and low muscle tone. Listeriosis, caused by listeria infection, may present with fever, muscle aches, nausea, headache, and a stiff neck, and can be especially dangerous for pregnant women, newborns, and older adults. Sandra Eskin, CEO of Stop Foodborne Illness, explain more about food safety.

Shutdown showdown ends: Trump signs deal to reopen government after record 43 days
After a record-breaking 43-day standoff, the federal government is officially back in operation. President Donald Trump signed a bipartisan funding bill late Thursday night, ending the longest shutdown in U.S. history. The House passed the measure earlier in the day by a 222–209 vote, sending it to the president’s desk just hours before another round of missed paychecks for federal workers. The bill funds the government through January 30, 2026, providing temporary relief but leaving major political battles unresolved. University of Minnesota political science professor Kathryn Pearson explains how this happened and what's next.
