U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of the Republican Party's most influential voices on national security and foreign policy, has died at the age of 71 following what officials described as a brief illness. Preliminary findings from the District of Columbia Medical Examiner indicate Graham died from an aortic dissection caused by underlying cardiovascular disease.
The South Carolina Republican served in the U.S. Senate for more than two decades and became one of President Donald Trump's closest allies after initially opposing him during the 2016 Republican presidential primary.
Over the years, Graham emerged as a leading Republican on defense, judicial confirmations and foreign affairs. He was a vocal supporter of Israel and Ukraine, advocated for a tougher stance on Iran and Russia, and played a key role in confirming conservative federal judges during Trump's first term.
Just days before his death, Graham had returned from a trip to Ukraine, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss the country's ongoing defense against Russia. President Trump later said the senator had called him after returning home and "sounded a little bit tired, but perfect."
Tributes poured in from political leaders across the United States and abroad. Trump called Graham "one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known," while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also honored the longtime senator for his support of their countries.
Graham's death leaves Republicans with a narrower majority in the Senate and creates a vacancy that South Carolina's governor is expected to fill temporarily until a special election is held.

Scores of people in the United States have been sickened by a parasite commonly linked to contaminated fresh produce that can cause weeks of watery diarrhea. But there are ways to protect yourself and still enjoy summer’s bounty of fruits and vegetables.
The exact source of one of the nation's largest outbreaks in years of cyclospora infections is still not known. And it can be hard to figure out what food sick people had in common because sometimes it’s a single ingredient that might be common in multiple recipes — like basil or cilantro.
Luckily cyclospora infections are generally treatable with antibiotics and rarely cause serious complications.
And there are ways to avoid getting it altogether.
Here are tips for reducing the risk:
Cyclospora can be tricky to investigate
Cyclospora is a microscopic, spherical parasite that commonly causes watery diarrhea “with frequent and sometimes explosive bowel movements,” according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
More than 1,500 people in Michigan have been diagnosed with the parasitic infection and investigations into similar illnesses have been going on in 30 other states, making it the largest such outbreak in state history and one of the nation’s largest in years. No deaths have been reported.
Cyclospora surges can be tricky to investigate, and food poisoning sources can be hard to establish. Investigations can take months and sometimes never find a clear source.
In the past, people have been infected by consuming fruits or vegetables that were exposed to feces-contaminated irrigation water. Also, it’s possible that food distributors may channel contaminated foods to both grocery stores and restaurants, making it hard to discern where tainted food came from.
Outbreaks tend to occur most often in the late spring and summer.
The heat-loving parasite infects the bowels and spreads through feces.
Food safety tips
While the source of the outbreak is unknown, it's a reminder to always practice basic hygiene, including washing hands with soap and water after using the bathroom and before handling food, said Dr. Erika Noel, an assistant professor at Hawaii's medical school and a pediatrician on the island of Kauai.
Alcohol-based hand sanitizers don't kill cyclospora, but soap and water are highly effective at killing or removing the parasite from hands.
Previous outbreaks have been linked to raspberries, basil, cilantro, snow peas and salad mixes.
Noel has some tips for washing produce: When washing items like cilantro and basil, separate the leaves. For green onions, cut off the roots, remove the outer layer and run them under water while rubbing the surface. Cooking produce to an internal temperature of 158 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius) or higher will kill cyclospora.
Research shows that washing fruits and vegetables in vinegar can be helpful. Vinegar won't kill the parasite but can help remove it. Noel recommends submerging produce in a bowl filled with three parts water and one part vinegar and swishing it around for a few minutes. Using a salad spinner to rinse with water can help get rid of the vinegary taste.
Instead of purchasing pre-mixed salad and washing individual leaves, opt for a head of lettuce and removing the outer layer.
For melons, scrub the outside before cutting through as the knife can carry germs from the rind into the fruit inside.
Peel fruits and vegetables as much as possible.
Don't forget to wash cutting boards and countertops.
Some produce can be challenging to clean
Anything with tight crevices or fragile skin can be challenging to clean, like broccoli and cauliflower. Because berries are challenging, Noel recommends cooking them in pies or making jam instead of eating them raw.
Anything grown underground and covered in thick dirt are also tough to clean, such as root vegetables like carrots, potatoes and radishes.
If using pre-mixed salads that have labels that indicated the items have been washed, it's best to wash them again in water and vinegar.
'We don't need to panic'
Noel doesn't want the outbreak to lead to people avoiding eating fruits and vegetables; the health benefits outweigh the risks.
“We don't need to panic,” she said.
Just be aware and ensure basic hygiene habits, which is always a good practice.

In the weeks leading up to Graham Platner's political demise, Democrats doubled down. Publicly supporting and defending him—despite multiple sexual assault allegations. Whatever happened to "believe all women"? Guess it doesn't matter when a Senate seat is on the line. Now that Platner's chances don't look so great, they've changed their tune and called for him to drop out. Predictable. Power over principle. Every time.

Josh opens the show with the latest developments from the Tyler Robinson pretrial in Utah, breaking down the key moments from this week's courtroom proceedings. He examines the overwhelming evidence presented so far and discusses why some bad actors continue to spread false narratives about who killed Charlie Kirk. Josh argues that once the case is over, it will be time for a serious reckoning within the conservative movement, especially for those on the Right who have sought to shift blame toward Israel despite the facts.
Later, Josh provides the latest update on Iran as tensions between the United States and Iran remain high. He explains what the recent developments mean for the prospects of peace in the Middle East, the future of U.S.-Israel relations, and the broader strategic challenges facing the region.
LONDON (AP) — King Charles III has hosted Prince Harry and met with his family for the first time in years. The two are trying to repair a rift that has persisted since Charles' youngest son and wife quit royal life and moved to America six years ago. Harry, Meghan and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, met Friday with the king and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House, a country estate west of London. The Duke of Sussex arrived Monday in his homeland for a number of charity events that were overshadowed by speculation of whether he would meet with his father.
THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — A passenger on board a flight from Greece to Germany was partially sucked out of a window when it broke soon after takeoff. A hospital official in northern Greece says the 61-year-old has neck and shoulder injuries and friction burns. Ryanair says the flight from Thessaloniki to Memmingen near Munich returned shortly after takeoff Friday when a window dislodged. The plane landed normally and passengers returned to the terminal. Passengers reported hearing a loud bang nearly an hour into the flight. One said that oxygen masks dropped and the plane began to lose altitude, causing panic.
