Parts of Texas and Louisiana are under a tropical storm watch as a storm system dumps heavy rain on the coastline. The system is expected to make landfall Wednesday night along the Texas-Louisiana border. “The National Hurricane Center said there was a 60 percent chance that the storm would intensify into the first named storm of this year’s Atlantic hurricane season,” The New York Times reports. If the system intensifies enough, it will be called Arthur. Breaking News: Parts of Texas and Louisiana are under a tropical storm watch as a system threatens to dump heavy rain across the region. Forecasters warned that some places could record up to a foot of rain by the end of the week. https://t.co/ImKa1t9nFr — The New York Times (@nytimes) June 16, 2026 More from The New York Times: For now, the system is officially called Potential Tropical Cyclone One. Parts of Texas have already been inundated with heavy rain and flash flood warnings. Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas issued a disaster declaration on Monday evening for 101 counties in the state, citing the risk from the storms and possible flooding. A deluge of rain has fallen far inland since Sunday, bringing over nine inches in Caldwell, Texas, and from three to four inches in Austin, San Antonio and Houston. On Wednesday, Houston is set to host its second World Cup match, between Portugal and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The threat of heavy rain was not a cause of concern for the match at the covered NRG Stadium, temporarily renamed Houston Stadium for the tournament. But ahead of the match, organizers shortened hours for the city’s fan festival, where many have been gathering to watch matches. The city’s World Cup organizing committee said that the festival would open in the evening on Tuesday instead of earlier in the day. The shortened festivities on Tuesday could change further if severe weather made it unsafe for fans in the evening, organizers said. The fan festival was closed on Monday as heavy rain made its way through the area. “Potential Tropical Cyclone One has been designated. Heavy rain and dangerous flooding are expected from the Texas coast into parts of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama through Thursday. Some areas could receive up to 12 inches of rain,” The Weather Channel stated. BREAKING: Potential Tropical Cyclone One has been designated.

Potential Tropical Cyclone Advisories (PTC Advisories) are issued when there is high confidence that the disturbance will develop into a storm and bring significant impacts. Potentially life-threatening flash and urban flooding is possible across the Texas coast eastward into central Mississippi through Thursday. Prolonged rainfall may extend the flood threat into the weekend. Widespread small stream and minor river flooding is expected along the Texas coast into southwest Louisiana, with isolated areas of significant river flooding possible across the Texas Coast and Louisiana,” the National Weather Service wrote. “Potential Tropical Cyclone One is forecast to become a tropical storm as it moves along or just off the northwestern Gulf coast through Wednesday.

In New Orleans, Singleton said up to 4 inches of rain or more could be seen by end of day Thursday. Southeast Louisiana is also facing heavy rain from a different front, and a flash flood warning is in effect for an area that include Reserve, Donaldsonville and Gramercy until 1:45 p.m. The storms associated with Potential Tropical Cyclone 1 are expected to flood streets and roadways and lead to closures. Sandbag locations are already opening across southeast Louisiana on Tuesday morning. Local officials in the New Orleans area were beginning to make preparations Tuesday for the storm and any effects it could bring to the metro area. St. Charles Parish and St. John the Baptist Parish announced locations where residents could fill sandbags and other local governments were beginning to issue information to residents.

President Trump campaigned on closing the Department of Education and handing schools back to the states. He is now making good on it, one office at a time. On Tuesday, his administration announced another major move that strips key functions out of the agency and sends them elsewhere in the federal government. Washington is no longer just talking about shrinking the agency. The machinery is actually moving. The Department of Education is expected to announce a major step in the Trump administration's efforts to dismantle the agency. https://t.co/JrKbEegxVA — ABC 7 Chicago (@ABC7Chicago) June 16, 2026 The move was quickly picked up as one of the biggest steps yet in the effort to dismantle the department. The Associated Press described the core transfer this way: The Department of Justice will take on enforcement of civil rights in education, while the Department of Health and Human Services will oversee special education. That is the heart of it. Special education oversight moves to Health and Human Services. Civil-rights enforcement in education moves to the Justice Department. With those transfers, AP reported that the vast majority of Education Department functions have now been assigned to other agencies. That is exactly the outcome a lot of conservatives have wanted for decades. The federal bureaucracy shrinks, and the work goes to agencies that already exist. BREAKING: The Trump administration is moving Education Department oversight of special education and civil rights to other agencies. -AP — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) June 16, 2026 The program details make clear why this is a serious move, not a symbolic one. ABC News reported where two key offices are expected to go: The sources told ABC News the HHS is expected to receive the Offices of Special Education Programming (OSEP) and Rehabilitative Services Administration (RSA). ABC also reported that the transfer reaches programs connected to millions of students and families under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Critics will frame moving those dollars and programs as chaos. Supporters see it differently. The money and legal protections follow the programs to their new homes. This also follows a plan the administration laid out last year. The U.S. Department of Education previously described the larger mission in plain language: The Trump Administration is taking bold action to break up the federal education bureaucracy and return education to the states. Tuesday’s move fits that frame cleanly. Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s department keeps shedding functions while the work continues under other roofs. The left will scream that this is reckless. The unions will scream even louder. But President Trump told voters he would close the department and send education back to where it belongs. This is another piece of that promise turning into policy. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport. View the original article here.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli says he expects criminal charges to come out of the federal election-fraud investigations now running in California. That is the new line, and it raises the stakes considerably. Essayli told The Glenn Beck Program plainly that he believes the probes will produce defendants. “I expect people will be charged,” he said, while pressing for a wide-scale audit of California’s voter roll. He also accused state officials of stonewalling federal prosecutors who want access to voter registration records. Protecting the integrity of California’s elections is a top priority for my office. California’s election system has serious structural vulnerabilities. Universal vote-by-mail with no voter ID requirements creates conditions where fraud can go undetected and unpunished, eroding… — F.A. United States Attorney Bill Essayli (@USAttyEssayli) June 5, 2026 Essayli leads a serious operation. The Department of Justice profile lists him as First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, overseeing a team of 500 lawyers, agents, and staff in a district covering roughly 20 million people. Just the News reported that Essayli’s office is partnering with the FBI on multiple election-fraud investigations. He said his team and Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who runs the Civil Rights Division, have spent more than a year trying to audit the state under the National Voter Registration Act, the Help America Vote Act, and the Civil Rights Act. The report noted that California accepted more than 4.2 million mail-in ballots in its recent primary. The state counts mail-in ballots dropped off by 8 PM on Election Day or postmarked by Election Day and received by the following Tuesday. The outlet also noted that Essayli did not lay out specific fraud evidence in that interview. The expected-charges statement is about where the active investigations are heading, not a claim that prosecutions have already happened. The audit fight is the other half of this. Essayli has put California on blast for what he calls deliberate obstruction. California Is Blocking a Federal Audit of Its Voter Rolls California allows first-time voters to register using forms of ID that most Americans would find surprising, including: -Gym membership card-Employer ID card-Credit or debit card-Prescription drug label-Insurance… pic.twitter.com/kOEOzpctmb — F.A. United States Attorney Bill Essayli (@USAttyEssayli) June 7, 2026 FOX 11 Los Angeles reported that Essayli announced the federal investigations in coordination with the FBI, and that his voter-roll audit push with Dhillon is pending before the Ninth Circuit. The local station reported that Essayli pointed to a prior case involving a Marina del Rey woman charged with allegedly paying people, including unhoused individuals on Skid Row, to register to vote. FOX 11 also reported that the specific locations, scope, and targets of the current investigations are not public. It is not yet known whether the probes have uncovered irregularities large enough to affect any outcome. What is clear is the direction. The federal government wants to look at California’s rolls, the state has resisted, and the prosecutor running the show now says he expects indictments. Dhillon has made the same transparency argument publicly, asking why California is fighting federal access to voter-roll data. Teamwork/dreamwork. Ask yourselves — why does California (& many other states) hide their voter rolls from the federal government at the same time they gladly hand them over to liberal activist groups?! hmmm https://t.co/PXznPFqTZr — AAGHarmeetDhillon (@AAGDhillon) June 5, 2026 The next move belongs to the Ninth Circuit and to the grand juries Essayli says are doing their work. California officials can keep insisting there is nothing to see. But the federal prosecutor asking for the records has now told the public what he believes is coming.

Every time President Trump meets up with French President Emmanuel Macron, they have a handshake battle that lasts far longer than any handshake ever should. It’s become something of a legend and I look forward to the new installment each new visit. But this time, President Trump handshake battled with a different Macron: Brigette. Did President Trump tire of the effeminate Emannuel? Brigette was more sporting? Either way, this is pretty hilarious to watch: Trump tried his famous handshake tug-of-war on Brigitte Macron. 13 seconds later, the match was still too close to call. Emmanuel Macron looked like someone who's seen those hands at work before.

Ahh, just a few years ago no one knew. Now apparently you can prove it by a photo. Yes folks, that’s right….news is breaking today that French First Lady Brigette Macron will be sending “photographic evidence” into a U.S. Court in her lawsuit against Candace Owens to prove she is a woman. And if you need me to translate that, well….apparently Brigette is sending a picture of her “vaginis” to a Judge. What a time to be alive! BREAKING: Brigette Macron to present photographic evidence to U.S. court proving she’s a woman. — Polymarket (@Polymarket) September 18, 2025 Brigette Macron to present scientific and photographic evidence to US court proving she’s a woman https://t.co/IEE3tU6Lwt pic.twitter.com/gJ8nM5BYNW — New York Post (@nypost) September 18, 2025 People Magazine is speculating the “photos” may consist of photos of Brigette pregnant: French first lady Brigitte Macron is preparing to present “photographic and scientific evidence” in court to prove that she is a woman. French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife are currently suing right-wing podcaster Candace Owens for peddling a viral conspiracy theory about the first lady, calling it a “campaign of global humiliation.” Owens, 36, has become one of the most vocal proponents of an online theory that Brigitte was born a man, stole the identity of a woman and has been deceiving the public ever since. Many of the theories claim that the first lady was born a man named Jean-Michel Trogneux – who is actually Brigitte’s brother. In March 2024, Owens went so far as to state on X that she would “stake [her] entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man.” However, she has also filed a motion to dismiss the Macrons’ lawsuit against her. The French first couple’s lawyer, Tom Clare, recently spoke with BBC about how the conspiracy theory had affected Emmanuel, 47, and Brigitte, 72, and explained how the couple plans to disprove the claims once and for all. “It is incredibly upsetting to think that you have to go and subject yourself, to put this type of proof forward… It is a process that she will have to subject herself to in a very public way,” Clare said of the first lady. “But she’s willing to do it. She is firmly resolved to do what it takes to set the record straight.” The attorney said there will be “expert testimony that will come out that will be scientific in nature” as to Brigitte’s biological sex, adding that the couple is prepared to prove she is a woman “both generically and specifically.” While he did not specify the exact terms of the Macrons’ evidence, one possibility raised was the presentation of photographs of the first lady pregnant and raising her children. Clare told the BBC that such photos “existed and would be presented in court where there are rules and standards.” Hmmmm, I don’t know if photos of her raising he children is really proof? Is it? A male nanny could have photos like that, what does that prove? I think there’s really only one way in which a photograph could prove this and let’s just say probably no one is too excited to see that photo! In related news, have you seen this?

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a voluntary recall of a common antidepressant medication taken by millions. Manufacturer Towa Pharmaceutical and its American distributor, Breckenridge Pharmaceutical, are pulling both the 30mg and 60mg versions of duloxetine delayed-release capsules, which are a generic form of the brand-name drug Cymbalta. Approximately 370,000 bottles were recalled “due to levels of N-nitroso-duloxetine that exceeded the FDA’s limit,” the New York Post noted. Antidepressant taken by millions recalled over possible contamination with cancer-causing chemical https://t.co/cGGsa7XFgp pic.twitter.com/o77d4O9w8C — New York Post (@nypost) June 16, 2026 KVUE explained further: Duloxetine is an SNRI used to treat depression, anxiety and certain types of chronic pain. At issue is a chemical called N-nitroso-duloxetine, part of a family of compounds known as nitrosamines. It’s the same type of contaminant that triggered major recalls of blood pressure medications and heartburn drugs like Zantac in recent years. Nitrosamines are classified as probable human carcinogens, meaning repeated exposure above safe levels could raise your risk of cancer over time. A Class II recall designation indicates that the product “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,” according to the FDA. The company initiated the recall on June 4. Patients who have been prescribed duloxetine should not stop taking their medication without first consulting their doctor, as abruptly discontinuing the drug can cause withdrawal symptoms. The recalled medications include: 30mg capsules (NDC 51991-747-10): Lot 241180C, expiring April 2027. Packaged in 1,000-capsule bottles. About 14,729 bottles affected. 60mg capsules: Packaged in both 90-count (NDC 51991-748-90) and 1,000-count (NDC 51991-748-10) bottles. Multiple lots are affected, with expiration dates ranging from November 2026 through May 2027. About 359,676 bottles affected. Thousands of bottles of the antidepressant duloxetine have been recalled because they contain levels of a potentially cancer-causing impurity above federal safety limits, according to a notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.https://t.co/PXbNlH1cYw — ABC News (@ABC) June 16, 2026 More from the New York Post: Sold under the brand name Cymbalta, it’s a type of selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) that works to increase serotonin and norepinephrine, hormones that regulate mood and pain, in the brain. No adverse effects have been reported in connection with the recalled medication, which included multiple bottles across the 30mg and 60mg dosages. The affected lot codes are 241074C, 240317, 240318, 240315C, 240373C, 240370C, 240375C, 240413C, 240316, 232311, 240978C, 241052C and 241180C. The recall was classified as Class II, meaning exposure to the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, while more serious adverse health consequences are remote. Often found in tobacco products and several pharmaceuticals, nitrosamines are also present in water and some foods, including cured and grilled meats, dairy products, beer and vegetables. The toxic chemicals form from food when nitrates used as preservatives react with amines, accelerated by high temperatures or stomach acid. These compounds can appear in medications through chemical reactions during manufacturing, contaminated ingredients or by breaking down due to heat or moisture over time and interaction with packaging.
