(NEXSTAR) – More cases have been linked to outbreaks of cyclospora that do not have an identified source, according to the Food and Drug Administration. The outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce, meanwhile, has expanded to two additional states.
There have been nearly 14,000 cases of domestically acquired cyclospora confirmed in the U.S. since May this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report. That's well over the roughly 1,180 cases reported from May through August last year.
Of this year's cases, at least 9,480 were reported in the 17 states connected to the cyclospora outbreak traced back to iceberg lettuce, according to the FDA and the CDC. Two states, Maine and Massachusetts, were added to that tally late last week.
What is a peanut ******* er pay raise, and why you may not get one next year
At least some of the nation's cases are also linked to the ongoing cyclospora outbreaks that the FDA has been investigating.

More than half of MAGA voters say they would support a Republican candidate accused of ******* ual ******* ault, according to a new poll.
In a recent Politico poll, 66 percent of MAGA voters who cast their ballot for President Trump in his last contest for the White House said they would back a GOP candidate even if "a former partner has accused the Republican candidate of ******* ual ******* ault" rather than support the Democratic candidate in a hypothetical congressional race.
Twenty-five percent of the MAGA voters said they would not cast their ballot for either candidate in the same hypothetical race, while 9 percent of the same group said they would cast their ballot for the Democrat.
In a larger group of Republican-leaning respondents, 42 percent said they would cast their ballot for the GOP candidate accused of ******* ual ******* ault, while 11 percent went for the Democrat and 47 percent went for neither.
MAGA voters showing support for a Republican candidate alleged to have committed ******* ual misconduct is not new. In fact, in May 2023, a jury found that Trump himself ******* ually abused writer E. Jean Carroll in the mid-1990s.

On Tuesday, French lawmakers approved a ban on social media for children below age 15. France becomes the first in Europe to follow Australia, where a social media ban for kids under 16 was implemented in December. President Emmanuel Macron aims to have the law in place in time for the start of the next academic year.

WASHINGTON, July 4 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump marked the 250th anniversary of the United States on Saturday with a campaign-style speech that repeated his calls for new voting restrictions, warned that "communists" could gain ground in the country and cycled through what he touted as his achievements.
After a storm-related delay of nearly two hours, Trump appeared on the National Mall in Washington to deliver a speech that mixed broad appeals to patriotism with pointed attacks on perceived ideological threats at home and abroad.

The Justice Department and 17 states have reached a settlement with three of the country's largest egg producers over allegations of price fixing. The government says the egg companies illegally colluded for years to raise prices, including in 2025 when the cost soared to record highs. None of the companies admitted wrongdoing but agreed to pay $3.3 million and donate 53 million eggs to settle the states' claims.
