President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet again today. Speaking during a cabinet meeting, Trump said they are going to talk exclusively about the war in Gaza. The president said they "gotta get that solved." The State Department is investigating incidents involving someone using an AI-generated voice impersonating Secretary of State Marco Rubio to contact U.S. and foreign officials. That's according to multiple reports citing a diplomatic cable. The person contacted three foreign ministers and two U.S. officials in mid-June via the Signal messaging app and left voicemails for at least two of them. A flash flood emergency is in effect in Ruidoso [[ roo-ee-DOH-soh ]], New Mexico. The National Weather Service issued the emergency after heavy rain caused flooding in burn scars caused by a recent wildfire. The Rio Ruidoso overflowed its banks and caused flooding in the town's Hollywood neighborhood. Some Amazon sellers are scaling back Prime Day discounts, blaming tight margins and rising costs from President Trump's tariffs.

Department of Health and Human Services officials say this is because animal infections with the H5N1 strain are declining and no human cases have been reported since February. There's been one bird flu related death since the CDC heightened its response in April of last year. The largest cluster of cases has been in California and Washington.
