Exclusive: Proposal outlines large-scale 'Humanitarian Transit Areas' for Palestinians in Gaza
A proposal seen by Reuters and bearing the name of a controversial U.S.-backed aid group described a plan to build large-scale camps called Humanitarian Transit Areas inside - and possibly outside - Gaza to house the Palestinian population, outlining a vision of "replacing Hamas' control over the population in Gaza."

Texas lawmakers failed to pass a bill to improve local disaster warning systems this year
(Texas Tribune) For the last three days, state Rep. Wes Virdell has been out with first responders in Kerr County as they searched for victims and survivors from the devastating floods that swept through Central Texas early Friday morning. Virdells closeup view of the havoc wreaked on his district has made a lasting impression, he said, and left him reconsidering a vote he made just a few months ago against a bill that would have established a statewide plan to improve Texas disaster response, including better alert systems, along with a grant program for counties to buy new emergency communication equipment and build new infrastructure like radio towers. I can tell you in hindsight, watching what it takes to deal with a disaster like this, my vote would probably be different now, said Virdell, a freshman GOP lawmaker from Brady.

(Raw Story) Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) argued that the government should be cut in response to the deadly flooding in Texas over the weekend. In a Sunday interview on Fox News, host Lisa Boothe asked Roy if there was "blame to be assigned" for the deaths of more than 50 people. "Yeah, I mean, in classic Washington, D.C. fashion, everybody wants to politicize everything," Roy replied. "Look, there's going to be time to go review what can be done differently."

U.S. measles cases reach 33-year record high as outbreaks spread
(Washington Post) The United States has reached its highest annual measles case tally in 33 years, hitting at least 1,277 confirmed cases across 38 states and the District of Columbia. The milestone marks a public health reversal in defeating a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease as the anti-vaccine movement gains strength. The nation surpassed infections reported in 2019, reaching the largest number of cases since 1992, when officials recorded more than 2,100 infections, according to data published Friday from the Johns Hopkins University Center for Outbreak Response Innovation (CORI).
Summers: No economist 'without a strong political agenda' says Trump bill good for economy
(The Hill) Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers railed against President Trumps massive tax and spending bill, saying no objective economist would characterize the legislation as a boon to the economy. There is no economist anywhere, without a strong political agenda, who is saying that this bill is a positive for the economy. And the overwhelming view is that it is probably going to make the economy worse, Summers told ABC Newss George Stephanopoulos in a Sunday interview on This Week.
