1. Federal health officials say they still haven’t identified the source of the Cyclospora outbreak after retracting an earlier claim that lettuce from Taylor Farms was responsible. More than 1,600 people have been sickened, and the FDA says the earlier positive test was a false alarm. The confusion comes after DOGE-era budget cuts reduced the federal FoodNet surveillance program to tracking only Salmonella and E. coli, removing Cyclospora and six other foodborne pathogens from routine monitoring.

2. Millions of federal student loan borrowers enrolled in the SAVE repayment plan have 90 days to choose a new repayment option once they receive an official notice from the Department of Education.

3. Portland’s City Council has approved a temporary workaround allowing downtown businesses to host entertainment through single-day permits, even if they fall within the city’s 100-foot licensing buffer. The 8-0 vote gives venues more flexibility while the city considers permanently changing the decades-old rule this fall. (PH)

4. The Red Sox have won 14 straight games after a 6-5 comeback win over the Orioles, moving within one victory of the longest winning streak in franchise history. Boston will look to tie the 80-year old club record with a 15th straight win when the Orioles return to Fenway tonight for the second game of the series. (PH)

5. Maine basketball star Cooper Flagg and his family will compete on ABC’s Celebrity Family Feud Thursday night at 8. The Newport native will team up with his twin brother Ace, older brother Hunter, and parents Kelly and Ralph as they take on Barstool Sports, with the Flagg family playing for Ronald McDonald House of Dallas.
