U.S. health officials are warning travelers about a potentially deadly insect-borne virus known as sloth fever. A new indictment against former President Donald Trump is a reaction to a Supreme Court presidential immunity ruling. What it costs to live the American dream today.

Sloth fever may make you feel sloth-like

Cases of Oropouche virus, also known as sloth fever, have surfaced in the U.S. and Europe involving travelers returning from Cuba and Brazil, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Wednesday.

How it spreads: The virus is transmitted by midges and mosquito bites and is endemic in central and eastern South America.

The symptoms include fever, chills, headaches and muscle and joint pain or stiffness. Public health officials say they are especially concerned about cases involving mother-to-fetus transmission.
A total of 20 Florida residents and one New York resident returning from Cuba had confirmed Oropouche virus infections. There is no vaccination and there are no antiviral treatments for Oropouche.
Don't confuse Oropouche with West Nile Virus, another mosquito-borne virus hitting Americans right now (including Dr. Anthony Fauci).

New Trump-approved Georgia election rules could spur suspicion

In the final months before the 2024 presidential election, three Republicans on the Georgia State Election Board are making new election rules that elected officials and experts in both major parties warn could sow misinformation and chaos in November. Some critics even worry the rule changes could be used to outright alter election results.

What to know about the latest Trump indictment

The prosecutor in former President Donald Trump's federal election interference case secured a new indictment against Trump Tuesday. The charges are the same, but the new superseding indictment includes differences based on the Supreme Court's decision in July that Trump had broad immunity from charges relating to official acts as president.

How much does the American Dream cost?

Donald Trump pledged to "bring back the American Dream" at the Republican National Convention in July. At last week's Democratic National Convention, presidential nominee Kamala Harris saluted Americans "who work hard (and) chase their dreams." But just how big do we need to dream now when it comes to our finances? Prosperity in the U.S. now costs more than $150,000 a year for a family of four, but that figure differs widely depending on where you live.
