Today’s Rundown:
- MURDOCH FAMILY SETTLES FEUD, GIVES LACHLAN CONTROL OVER MEDIA EMPIRE: Rupert Murdoch’s family reached a deal to decide who controls the media empire after his death. Lachlan Murdoch will lead the empire through a trust, while his older siblings—James, Elisabeth, and Prudence—receive stock valued at about $3.3 billion. They must give up any claims to Fox or News Corp and won’t be involved in the future. The deal brings an end to a long legal fight and resembles a real-life version of the show Succession.
- DEMOCRATS RELEASE SUGGESTIVE EPSTEIN LETTER ALLEGEDLY FROM TRUMP: House Democrats shared a sexually suggestive birthday note, allegedly from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. The letter is drawn around a naked-silhouette sketch and reads “Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret.” Trump denies writing it and called the story fake, launching a $10 billion defamation lawsuit.
- TRUMP UNVEILS “OPERATION MIDWAY BLITZ” CRACKDOWN IN CHICAGO: The administration started Operation Midway Blitz, an ICE-led immigration enforcement effort targeting undocumented people in Chicago, especially those with criminal records. Local leaders criticized the move as fear-based, and protests broke out amid worries about fairness and possible Guard deployment. Officials say the operation honors a woman killed in a crash by someone here illegally, but critics argue it makes communities less safe.
- YOUNG ADULTS PREFERRING EARLY BIRD DINNERS CHANGING HOW WE EAT: Dinner is getting earlier—like 5 or 6 p.m.—because Gen Z values savings, better health, and avoiding restaurant crowds. Many are unintentionally trying intermittent fasting and approaching nutrition with long-term wellness in mind. Early dinners help with digestion, fit people’s busy routines, and cut down lines at restaurants.
- ANOTHER NEW HAMPSHIRE MAN GETS PIG-KIDNEY TRANSPLANT IN MEDICAL FIRSTS: A man in New Hampshire became the latest to receive a pig kidney transplant under a new clinical trial. This xenotransplant marks an important step toward solving human organ shortages. Earlier trials at Massachusetts General Hospital paved the way for this one.
- AUSTRALIAN ‘MUSHROOM MURDERER’ SENTENCED—LIFE TERM, 33-YEAR MINIMUM: In Australia, Erin Patterson was sentenced to life in prison with at least 33 years before parole for poisoning three relatives with death-cap mushrooms at lunch and trying to kill a fourth. The crime stunned the community. She may appeal by October.
- CHARLOTTE OFFICIALS CRITICIZED AFTER UKRAINIAN REFUGEE MURDERED ON TRAIN: Charlotte leaders are in trouble after a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, Iryna Zarutska, was stabbed to death without warning on a light-rail train. The attacker had a history of criminal behavior and mental illness. Trump and conservative figures blamed local leaders, while officials are now promising to boost safety measures.
- ANDY COHEN CONFIRMS HOWARD STERN PRANK, NOT ACTUAL SHOW TAKEOVER: Andy Cohen revealed that he did not replace Howard Stern on radio—Howard just pulled a prank. Listeners were fooled but reassured that Stern is here to stay on SiriusXM.
