A 39-year-old man could face up to five years in prison after he allegedly left messages on Donald Trump Jr.’s podcast livestream threatening to kill the president’s oldest son. James Gerald Eckert Jr., of Rochester, New York, was arrested and charged Monday with threatening to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm on a member of President Donald Trump’s immediate family, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of New York. The Secret Service was informed on June 18 that a user with the handle @JamesGeraldEckertJr had made several threats in the group chat feed of Triggered with Donald Trump Jr. on the platform Rumble. One of the posts said, “im going to kill you, (expletive), I am going to kill this (expletive) on the screen,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. While watching the podcast, Eckert also allegedly streamed himself for about eight minutes on Rumble, threatening Don Jr. and the platform’s CEO. He had previously allegedly posted on his Facebook profile that he would kill Rochester’s Democratic Mayor Malik Evans and Democratic state Sen. Samra Brouk.

A seemingly frenzied wild boar left four people hospitalized after ravaging through the Japanese city of Toyota, charging workers at a factory before attacking others nearby. The roughly 120-pound animal first stormed a factory that prepares school lunches around 5:30 a.m., knocking down a 64-year-old worker as he tried to fend it off with a shopping bag and a plastic container. Surveillance footage showed a colleague rushing in with a metal trolley before the boar finally retreated after a two-and-a-half-minute standoff. Minutes later, the boar attacked a cyclist at a nearby road crossing before attempting to gore a man in his 80s at another factory roughly 800 yards away. Police and firefighters eventually cornered the animal, which died at the scene. While bears remain Japan’s deadliest wildlife threat, wild boar attacks are climbing. More than 670 people have been attacked since 2016, with last year’s 94 incidents marking the highest annual total on record.

That urgent question of who and where is the Democratic Party’s ascendant leader—this theoretical charismatic, next-gen figure traveling the country, building passions and a faithful coalition—may have a pretty obvious answer. Bernie Sanders. Certainly, this new crop of Democratic lefties and socialists, seemingly sprouting up everywhere, is an inexperienced, untested, and unknown collection of wannabes... But focusing on them, and their callowness, may not be the most helpful way of looking at this intra-party rebellion. Instead, look at the set of potential 2028 Democratic figures—among them, Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, JB Pritzker, Andy Beshear, Josh Shapiro, Pete Buttigieg, Rahm Emanuel. Each represents a certain professionalism, plasticity, ideological level-headedness (if not blandness), and general political clubability. If contrast is a key calling card in present-day politics, you’d best measure them all against Sanders: unwavering over decades in his sensibility and eccentricities, far more a moralist than a politician, an outsider in belief and bearing, and, not just authentic, but, certainly in American politics, an original. And, apparently, not going away. Whether the Dems recognize it or choose to deny it, he is the uncrowned king of the Democratic Party.

Those busy searching for the future of the Democratic Party are looking right past the present. Subscribe to Michael Wolff’s HOWL on Substack to read the full argument.

Ten people were killed when a small passenger plane crashed while attempting to land on the Bahamas’ largest island, claiming the lives of several well-known local musicians traveling to a celebration for the country’s Independence Day. The Cessna 402, operated by Flamingo Air, departed Nassau shortly after 1 p.m. on July 10 for the short flight to San Andros Airport on Andros Island in a journey that should have taken 20 minutes. According to the Aircraft Accident Investigation Authority, the aircraft “encountered difficulties and crashed into bushes prior to landing.” Among those killed were five members of the popular Caribbean group Da Pond Band—Giovanni McKenzie, Mateo Winder, Rashad Storr, Tonique Gilot, and Travis Johnson—as well as Melvin Henfield, better known as DJ Fresh. The performers had been scheduled to appear at an Independence Day event on the island. Authorities have not said what caused the crash, and the investigation remains ongoing.

Summer is officially here, which means your schedule is probably brimming with backyard barbecues, vacation dinners, ice cream outings, and impromptu happy hours for the next couple of months. While these warm-weather (and often food-focused) festivities are fun, they can make it a little more challenging to navigate digestive sensitivities. If foods like garlic, onions, dairy, legumes, or wheat tend to leave you feeling bloated or uncomfortable, Fodzyme may be worth adding to your travel bag before your next food-filled adventure.

Designed for the roughly 35 million Americans living with IBS or FODMAP (fermentable carbohydrates like fructans and lactose that are difficult for the small intestine to absorb) sensitivity, Fodzyme is a clinically vetted digestive enzyme powder formulated to help break down common FODMAP carbohydrates (including fructans, GOS, and lactose) that are often associated with digestive symptoms such as bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort, constipation, and diarrhea.

Fodzyme Digestive Enzyme Powder Supplement

Unlike conventional digestive enzyme capsules and tablets, Fodzyme is sprinkled directly onto your meal before eating, allowing the enzymes to begin breaking down FODMAPs before they’re consumed. The proprietary blend includes fructan hydrolase, an enzyme that targets fructans found in foods like garlic, onions, and wheat, alongside alpha-galactosidase for beans and legumes and lactase for dairy.

Available in both a 60-serving Home Kit and convenient single-serve On-the-Go packets, Fodzyme is designed to make eating out, traveling, and special occasions a little less… uncomfortable. The powder format also sets it apart from many digestive enzyme supplements on the market, as it’s formulated to work directly on food before ingestion rather than after you’ve swallowed a capsule. If digestive discomfort has you thinking twice before ordering your favorite pasta, pizza, garlic bread, or ice cream this summer, it’s time to give sprinkle-on-anything Fodzyme a try.

Actress Leven Rambin has revealed a shocking health scare after she underwent surgery. “Going in for the endometriosis diagnostic and removal, and coming out with a NICKED AORTA, emergency surgery and a scar the size of my forearm was not on the bingo card,” the actress, 36, wrote on her Instagram alongside several photos of her in the hospital. The actress, who played Sloan Riley in the hit medical drama Grey’s Anatomy, also added, “The road to recovery will be long but I am determined to heal & start my family.” Endometriosis is a disease that affects women in which tissue similar to that of the inner uterus lining grows outside of the uterus, unable to leave the body during each menstrual cycle and causing buildup. Monday’s post by Rambin follows a June announcement that she would be undergoing surgery to assess if she was infertile and a confirmation in a TikTok that a nurse said her body was “normal.” “Oh how I love being a woman,” the actress joked at the end of her post.

Ariana Grande hinted at the rebirth of an old relationship with a bold lyric change during her concert Monday night. Thank U, Next, the 2018 lead single of Grande’s fifth studio album, reflects on Grande’s past relationships with gratitude, including the pop star’s ex-boyfriend Ricky Alvarez, of whom she sang, “Wrote some songs about Ricky, now I listen and laugh.” On Monday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, the pop star, 33, replaced the song’s original lyrics with “... we always find our way back.” Alvarez, 35, joined Grande as a backup dancer in 2014, and the two dated for a year starting in 2015. Now Grande’s lyric changes are causing fans to speculate if the spark has returned. During her concert in Austin, Texas, on June 26, Grande changed the same lyrics to “... I know he’s still got my back,” and a few days later to “... and they still kinda slap.” According to TMZ, the three-time Grammy winner and her backup dancer were reportedly seen together on the Fourth of July, following Grande’s split from Wicked co-star Ethan Slater.

The Bachelor star Joe Amabile, admitted on Instagram on Monday that doctors discovered what appears to be an early-stage brain tumor. “So a little medical update. I didn’t share my Prenuvo results because they ended up finding a lesion in my brain,” Amabile said in the video. “So then I had to go get a brain MRI, and there was a blueberry-sized lesion in my brain that looks to be a glioma, which is a tumor.” Amabile, who is also known to fans as “Grocery Store Joe” said he plans to have brain surgery in two weeks to remove the mass. “I think it’s one of those things where you’re like, ‘Oh, something like this never happened to me,’ and here I am,” he said. “They say it’s really early stages. I hope they are able to get it all, and I’m fine. But I will keep you updated.” The 40-year-old appeared on the 14th season of The Bachelor, and on seasons 5 and 7 of Bachelor in Paradise, where he met his wife, Serena Pitt. Pitt commented on Amabile’s post, “You’re so strong and we’re going to get through this together ❤️ I love you.”

A weeklong search for two missing climbers in the Italian Alps has ended in tragedy after rescuers found their bodies at the bottom of a crevasse in the Gran Paradiso massif. The two Romanian nationals had not been heard from since leaving a mountain refuge on July 9, prompting several days of helicopter searches across the rugged mountain range in Italy’s Aosta Valley. Authorities said the pair died after plunging into a crevasse roughly 65 feet deep, where their bodies were recovered Monday morning. Their names and ages have not been released. Gran Paradiso rises to 13,300 feet within Italy’s oldest national park and is a popular destination for climbers. Mountain accidents remain a persistent hazard in Italy. Earlier this year, 13 backcountry skiers, climbers, and hikers died in a single week, and the country recorded 528 mountain accident deaths in 2025, a 13 percent increase from the year before.

A crew member aboard Princess Cruises’ Regal Princess has died after going overboard off the coast of Cancún, Mexico, on July 13. The incident forced the massive cruise ship to suspend its Caribbean voyage while authorities launched a search-and-recovery operation. The unidentified worker was later found dead, the cruise line confirmed, though it has not disclosed the person’s age, job title, or how they ended up in the water. Princess Cruises said foul play is not suspected and thanked local maritime authorities, along with crew from Carnival Jubilee, for assisting in the search. “Our heartfelt condolences go out to the crew’s family and friends during this difficult time,” the company said. The Regal Princess, a 19-deck ship carrying up to 3,560 passengers and 1,346 crew members, has since resumed its seven-day Caribbean sailing after the recovery operation. Although one port stop was adjusted because of the incident, the ship is still expected to return to Fort Lauderdale as scheduled on Saturday.

Health officials in Michigan have pinpointed lettuce and salad greens as a “potential source” of a fast-spreading parasite outbreak causing “watery diarrhea,” loss of appetite, and weight loss in thousands of patients. The state’s health department cautioned that its investigation is ongoing, and warned that it is too early to rule out other foods. “No specific type of produce, grower, or supplier has been identified as the source,” officials said. The outbreak of cyclosporiasis, now topping 2,800 cases in Michigan alone, comes a year after the Trump administration slashed funding for state and local health departments and shrank a program that tracks foodborne illness. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed 843 cases and 1,500 suspected ones across 31 states, with 86 hospitalizations and no deaths. Ohio has reported 177 cases. Experts say the funding cuts have made tracking harder. “It’s like putting a puzzle together,” said Barbara Kowalcyk of George Washington University’s Milken Institute of Public Health. “You start taking pieces out of your puzzle—it’s harder to see the whole picture, and that’s what we’ve done.” Michigan’s chief medical executive, Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, said, “There is clearly a linked outbreak happening right now.”
