The Daily Beast has now published Natalie Harp’s personal letters to Donald Trump in full. Harp wrote that she missed when Trump would call and they would “talk about everything and nothing,” adding, “We shouldn’t have to talk about work all the time!!” She said she envied women whose only “job” was to talk with him and look pretty, writing, “I want that job!!” The letters were released just hours after Donald and Melania held hands during a carefully staged White House appearance, her first public event in more than a month.

COURT RESTRICTS ALLEGED GANG MEMBERS AHEAD OF MINNESOTA STATE FAIR

Seven men identified by prosecutors as members of the rival Muddy and The Ville gangs have agreed to stay away from the 2026 Minnesota State Fair and its surrounding safety zone. If they comply, the legal action against them will be dropped after the fair.

A Ramsey County judge ruled that three additional men are members of the Muddy gang and barred them from associating with known gang members, intimidating anyone or displaying gang signs within the fair’s safety zone. They are not completely prohibited from attending.

Officials sought the restrictions after social media posts allegedly indicated the rival gangs were planning a violent confrontation at the fair. State Fair police say they will coordinate with the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office to enforce the orders.

Corman has been released from the hospital, while Mills remains hospitalized in stable condition. The NTSB and FAA are investigating why the plane veered off course.

ABBOTT RESPONDS TO MINNESOTA LAWSUIT, SAYS HE IS STILL INVESTIGATING WHETHER ICE AGENT IS A “FUGITIVE”

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says one factor still being investigated is whether ICE agent Christian Castro legally qualifies as a fugitive. Abbott said the findings will inform his decision and accused Attorney General Keith Ellison of “talking without thinking through all the elements” a governor must consider.

Castro has been jailed in Texas since May 29 and faces four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime in Minnesota. He is accused of shooting Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis through a closed door, then falsely claiming he was attacked with a broom handle and snow shovel. Prosecutors say video, physical evidence and witnesses contradicted Castro’s account.

Ellison’s lawsuit accuses Abbott of violating federal and Texas law by refusing to approve the extradition. Castro could be released as early as August 26 under Texas’ 90-day detention limit, and Minnesota says jail calls show he has discussed moving to Mexico.

Abbott did not explain why the investigation has taken nearly three months while Texas approved three other Minnesota extradition requests.

MINNEAPOLIS BODY DISCOVERIES FUEL SPECULATION

Multiple bodies have been found across Minneapolis in the past several days, including near the Mississippi River and Bde Maka Ska. At least one victim has been publicly identified, while other identities remain pending.

The string of discoveries is fueling intense speculation online, but authorities have NOT announced that the deaths are connected or that a serial killer is involved. Investigations are ongoing.

“KILLER BLUEBERRIES” ADDED TO AMERICA’S GROWING LIST OF FOOD OUTBREAKS AND RECALLS

The U.S. is dealing with a massive Cyclospora outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce, with thousands of illnesses under investigation. A separate Salmonella outbreak tied to jalapeños has sickened at least 345 people across 27 states and hospitalized 36. Another Salmonella outbreak linked to eggs has sickened 98 people across 17 states, with 26 hospitalizations.

Now, the FDA has placed a recall of GreenWise Organic frozen blueberries and mixed berries at its highest risk level after an E. coli outbreak sickened 12 people and hospitalized four. The recall has expanded from one lot to all lots of four products sold at Publix stores across eight states. A Class I designation means exposure could cause serious health consequences or death.

Recent recalls and alerts have also involved more than 1.5 million dozen eggs, nearly 30,000 pounds of imported raw beef, ready-to-eat pastrami and corned beef, ground beef over possible E. coli contamination, Outshine fruit bars that may contain glass, and additional meat and poultry products connected to the recalled jalapeños.

And amid all of this, RFK Jr. and DOGE have cut food-safety staff, reduced inspections, disrupted laboratory quality-control programs and weakened the agencies responsible for detecting outbreaks and protecting our food supply.

Derek Chauvin is again asking Minnesota courts to overturn his conviction in the murder of George Floyd.

Chauvin’s attorneys want his state murder conviction vacated and the charges dismissed, arguing his due process rights were violated. The new filing challenges Gov. Tim Walz’s assignment of prosecutorial authority to AG Keith Ellison and argues the case should have gone before a grand jury before charges were brought.

His attorneys are also asking the Minnesota Court of Appeals to pause his current appeal while the new claims are considered. This is Chauvin’s third attempt at post-conviction relief.

DEARBORN CITY COUNCIL MEETING SPEAKER

TIFFANY (addressing Jake Lang protests, supporters): “Can I first just apologize for the other people who came up here looking like me - I am so sorry and unbelievably embarrassed, so please when you see people who look like me do not make that assumption. And please, think about how lost you have to be, to look like me, and follow Jake Lang, who said Black parents are failures, Black culture is disgusting, told a bunch of Black protesters they were ‘chimping around’ and made monkey noises at Black teenagers. So just imagine how lost of a soul you have to be”

There were so many amazing speakers from the Dearborn community at last night’s meeting. I hope their support and sanity outweigh the hate Jake Lang keeps trying to spread throughout the community.
