Maryland cheese recall widens to all Clover Hill products after listeria outbreak kills 1
The CDC has expanded its recall to all Clover Hill products after a deadly listeria outbreak left one person dead. The recall initially began on June 5 for soft requesón cheeses, but has now been expanded to include all cheese products made by the Maryland Department of Health. This follows a discovery that an environmental sample at the facility matched the outbreak strain. The CDC recommends discarding recalled products or returning them to the place of purchase. The affected cheese was sold in bulk buckets and later resold under brand names such as Kesso, Quesos La Ricura, Izalco, De Mi Pueblo, and Rio Lindo. Listeria can be dangerous to anyone, including those with weakened immune systems, very young people, and people over 65.

Venezuelans search more earthquake ruins as attention turns to humanitarian crisis
Venezuelans are searching for survivors after last week's back-to-back earthquakes, which left over 1,700 people homeless. The country's humanitarian crisis could persist for years. Relief organizations say the first 72 hours after a natural disaster is the most crucial time period for rescues, but survival can be extended if people have access to food and water. Concerns have been raised about the ability of the cash-strapped government to coordinate the effort needed to care for thousands of people left homeless. A 4.6 magnitude aftershock rattled the disaster zone in the northern state of La Guaira, causing residents in the capital of Caracas to panic. The death toll stands at over 800. The Venezuelan government has promoted its recovery efforts, with electricity restored to 90% of the hardest-hit state.

Alberta will front initial West Coast oil pipeline proposal without private backing, sources say
Alberta is set to submit its initial proposal for a new oil pipeline to the West Coast, which will not be backed by any private-sector proponents, according to two sources. The province has set a July 1 deadline to submit the proposal for fast-tracked federal consideration, despite opposition from some British Columbia First Nations and B.C. Premier David Eby. While the initial proposal will be led by Alberta, Energy Minister Brian Jean said various proponents had approached the government to invest in the pipeline, including Indigenous groups. The Alberta and federal governments prioritized the pipeline during a period of rising separatist sentiment, driven in part by a perception that Ottawa has opposed the province's resource industry. The Prime Minister’s Office is working with Alberta to grow Canada's energy sector and is expected to make a determination by October that the pipeline would be deemed a project of national interest.

New CDC leaders vow to boost skeleton staff left after DOGE cuts
New leaders at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have pledged to increase the number of staff left or cut after the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cut. Sean Slovenski, the CDC's new principal deputy director and chief operating officer, said he will focus on improving the agency's operating strategy over the next four to six months. The agency has been without a permanent director for nearly a year and has been dealing with several public health issues, including an ongoing Ebola outbreak in Africa, New World screwworm in the US, rising measles infections and the FIFA World Cup games. Interim leader Jay Bhattacharya also pledged to bring in more staff to alleviate employees working multiple jobs at once. The new CDC director nominee, Erica Schwartz, likely will undergo a confirmation hearing in the Senate soon.

LA homeless agency sues Trump administration to stop cutoff of federal funds
The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) has sued the Trump administration to prevent it from depriving the region of hundreds of millions of dollars in funding. The authority argues that the decision is unwarranted and violates federal laws. LAHSA, a joint city-county agency overseen by political appointees, is seeking a temporary restraining order to prevent the federal Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) from suspending the funds. The move comes after HUD officials announced they would suspend LAHHA from applying for or receiving federal funds due to financial mismanagement, fraud, and a lack of safeguards to prevent conflicts of interest. The lawsuit accuses HUD of prioritizing a policy favoring criminal enforcement, drug treatment, institutionalization and the mentally ill.
