The Cyclospora Mystery: How Human Poop Got on So Much Lettuce
U.S. health officials linked six more states to what’s now the largest outbreak of cyclospora in American history — an outbreak that has contributed to at least two deaths, sickened thousands of people and left the rest of us increasingly scared of salad. Today, Christina Jewett and Caroline Hopkins Legaspi, two public health reporters who have covered the parasite for The New York Times, discuss what’s been learned about where it comes from, how it spread so quickly and why our food safety system seems to be powerless to stop it. Guest: Christina Jewett, covers the Food and Drug Administration for The New York Times. Caroline Hopkins Legaspi, a health reporter focusing on nutrition and sleep for The New York Times. Background reading: Taco Bell and the food distributor Sysco have pulled Taylor Farms lettuce from supply chains after it was linked to cyclosporiasis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has linked six more states to the cyclospora outbreak associated with iceberg lettuce. Photo: Michelle V.

Will Hamas actually disarm?
It has been a week since President Trump announced that the Board of Peace had reached an, "historic agreement” in Gaza for the, “complete disarmament” of Hamas. But in the days since, the situation has become more uncertain. Hamas has said that it will only disarm when Israel withdraws its forces from Gaza, but Israeli officials insist they will not withdraw until the weapons are handed over. On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had not agreed to the plan. To explain what comes next, we turn to the BBC’s international editor, Jeremy Bowen, and the BBC's Gaza correspondent, Rushdi Abualouf. Producers: Hannah Moore and Xandra Ellin Executive producer: James Shield Mix: Travis Evans Digital producer: Matt Pintus Senior news editor: China Collins Photo: A Palestinian fighter from the Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas movement, gestures inside an underground tunnel in Gaza.

Big Oil’s Big Wartime Profits
US crude prices fell below $80 for much of the day Monday as oil traders factored in a potential deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. But even as reports of imminent peace deals or attacks jolt oil markets, fuel prices at US gas stations have remained high. Late last week, US oil companies Exxon and Chevron reported their biggest profits in years. On today’s Big Take podcast, oil reporter Mitchell Ferman joins host Sarah Holder to explain why oil companies are built for global conflict.

The Panic Over Progressive Dems
You’ve probably heard a lot about the Democratic Socialists and progressives running for office nationwide – and maybe even more about how establishment Democrats are terrified of them. A lot of that concern is because they think they’ll lose to their Republican counterparts. But many Republican candidates running for statewide office this term are in a league of their own… and not in a good way. So are establishment Democrats right? Will progressive candidates push voters to Republicans – even if they're the least qualified people around? To find out, we talked to Dan Pfeiffer. He’s the co-host of Pod Save America and the author of the Message Box newsletter on Substack. And in headlines, Iran and President Trump disagree over whether negotiations are back on, two Republican senators clear the way for acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s confirmation, and the Michigan Department of Health announces the first confirmed deaths related to the ongoing cyclospora outbreak.
