Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor, Johnston.
President Trump will travel to Texas today to headline a fundraiser for Republican Senate
candidate Ken Paxton.
“As he campaigns for fellow Republicans, some members of his own party are pushing back”
on parts of his economic agenda. His tariffs on Canada and a plan to increase beef imports or drawing criticism from Republican senators, including some facing difficult elections this fall, NPR's deepest shiver on reports. With the tariffs on Canada that led to some Republicans who were running in some really tight elections, like Senators, Susan Collins and Maine, to distance herself from Trump
say that these tariffs are a mistake. And Trump recently also announced that the U.S. this is a different move. Would import more beef from abroad?
That was an effort to try and lower the cost of beef, which has increased in part because
of the war. That's NPR's deepest shiver on reporting. The jury is expected to begin deliberating today in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy.
“Deborah Becker from Member Station, W.B.U.R. reports the Massachusetts woman is charged”
with killing her three children in 2023. Before deliberations begin, both sides will have an hour each to make closing arguments. The defense claims Clancy had postpartum psychosis, and should not be held criminally responsible. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington says Clancy is hopeful. Prosecutors argue that Clancy did not have psychosis, and was mentally well enough to
follow the law. The case has focused international attention on mental health, especially for new mothers. For NPR news, I'm Deborah Becker in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the number of cases of cyclists barriacists in the U.S. continues to rise, and PR's Yuginiguchi reports more than 17,000
illnesses had been confirmed thus far. This year's spread of cyclists' spora, which causes diarrhea, dwarfs, previous food-born illness outbreaks from the borers had lostyria outbreak two years ago, or the jack in the box E. Coli outbreak in the early 1990s. Sandy Eskin is CEO of the advocacy group Stop Food-born Illness.
"It's off the charts. I don't think we've ever had an outbreak with this many illnesses." Experts say recent cuts across government to public health and food safety systems, as well as the consolidation of food production, have made it harder to anticipate and respond to outbreaks.
Yuginiguchi and PR news stocks open next on Wall Street this morning. The Dow Jones industrial average is downed 15 points, then has deck composite up 252. You're listening to NPR news from Washington. An ice officer charged in a mini-applish shooting has been released from a Texas jail after a judge rejected a bid from Minnesota for immediate extradition.
Learning Castro is facing four assault counts, and a charge of falsely reporting a crime in connection with the January shooting of an unarmed Venezuelan man. Texas law required Castro's release after 90 days in custody, unless he was extradited. Officials in Minnesota say they'll continue trying to bring him back to face the charges. Two weeks after a severe storm caused widespread power outages in northwest Indiana, utility
officials say restoration efforts are mostly complete, but as Barb Angayano of member station WFMI reports, some residents remain without power. Nipsco announced on their website Wednesday crews would continue working through individual outage cases. James Issen is a contractor and lives in Hobart, Indiana.
He says his neighbor still doesn't have electricity due to damage from trees. Issen says he's frustrated with a lack of urgency on Nipsco's part. There's still a lot about it and you can see that there's still people still hurting. And that makes no sense to me. Nipsco currently faces a class action lawsuit alleging the utility failed to manage vegetation
as well as conduct adequate inspections of utility poles and power lines. Indiana Governor Mike Braun has asked Indiana's utility watchdog to seek an investigation into Nipsco. For NPR News, I'm Barb Angayano in Gary. I'm Windsor Johnston and you're listening to NPR News from Washington.
