What is President Trump's stance on the Max Miller allegations?
Live from MPR News, I'm Giles Snyder. President Trump says he's staying out of the situation involving former aide and current Ohio Republican Congressman Max Miller, who's facing allegations that he assaulted his former wife and his daughter.
Well, I'm not gonna get involved in that. And uh I know Max very well. But it's uh very, very sad that a situation like that takes place.
Trump was asked about Miller while taking questions from reporters in the Oval Office. He declined to say whether Miller should withdraw from his bid for re election. Miller's former wife is the daughter of Ohio Republican Senator Bernie Marino, who has said that Miller should not be serving in the House. Ohio's other senator, John Husted, called on Miller to resign on Thursday.
What happened in the Thailand school shooting and why is gun access a concern?
President Trump's remarks about Miller came after he signed two executive orders in a new attempt to limit birthright citizenship. The order signed Thursday narrow were in scope after the US Supreme Court rejected Trump's previous effort. Thai police say at least six people, including teachers and students, have died in a shooting at a school north of the Capitol. At least fifteen others injured. Police said the shooter, a fourteen year old student, is also dead. The BBC's Jonathan Head is in Bangkok.
Shots were reported from the secondary school on the outskirts of the capital Bangkok just after 10 o'clock in the morning. Video from the scene showed staff rushing children out of the classrooms and police officers trying to find the gunmen. According to the police, he was a 14-year-old student at the school who opened fire on teachers and fellow pupils before taking his own life.
How is the SNAP program being changed to allow hot meals in the farm bill?
The injured were treated by paramedics before being taken by ambulance to hospital. This shooting follows another at a school in southern Thailand in February. That incident raised questions which will now surely be asked again about the easy availability of guns in Thailand.
The BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok. The Senate Agriculture Committee failed to advance a farm bill Thursday while there were disagreements. Republican and Democratic senators appeared to agree on one thing, allowing snap benefits to be used to buy hot rotisserie chicken. NPR's Juliana Kim reports.
The federal food assistance program, known as SNAP, generally doesn't allow its dollars to be spent on hot prepared food. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are now looking to change that.
Why did the Senate Agriculture Committee fail to advance the farm bill before recess?
On Thursday, it became an amendment to the farm bill. Democratic Senator Amy Clobishar, who represents Minnesota, told her committee members.
Snap dollars. Uh this is popular and affordable option, and I'm glad that this amendment was included.
Other supporters say it's common sense to give low income families access to quick, protein dense food. The farm bill now has to wait, though. The committee's failure to advance it comes as the Senate prepares to leave town for a five week recess. Juliana Kim, NPR News.

What are the details of the New Mexico court ruling against Meta for harming young users?
A court in New Mexico has ordered Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, to pay five hundred sixty seven million dollars to address harms to young people from the company's social media platforms. The order came late Thursday in the second phase of a landmark trial that Meta lost in March. Meta says it disagrees with the ruling and will appeal the company facing dozens of lawsuits filed by states. An outbreak of salmonella has been traced to Mexican jalapeños. The CDC says so far there have been 345 cases with at least 36 people hospitalized across 27 states, as MPRZ. Yeah.
Salmonella bacteria live in the digestive tract and are transmitted through contaminated food and water. The latest outbreak, which began in mid-June, has been traced to fresh jalapeno peppers grown in Sinaloa, Mexico, and distributed across the US by Coast citrus distributors. The products went to Chipotle, Mexican Grill, and Qdoba restaurants, which since discontinued use.
