July 31, 2026 - Here’s everything that happened in America today. President Trump hosted his Cabinet at Camp David amid the widening Iran war, touting a "historic" Hamas disarmament deal for Gaza that Hamas says is conditional on Israeli withdrawal, while touring destruction inflicted on Iran's military during ongoing US strikes. Hackers, suspected of Iran ties, breached over 30 Minnesota water systems this week, forcing utilities into manual operation and prompting a federal CISA warning; no contamination occurred, though Trump publicly downplayed and disputed Iran's involvement Friday at Camp David. The federal government proposed the largest-ever water cuts for Arizona, California and Nevada from the shrinking Colorado River, up to 3 million acre-feet through 2036, to prevent Lake Powell's hydropower turbines from failing amid prolonged Western drought. Trump acknowledged Friday his $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund is "dead" but said he wishes it weren't, further complicating attorney general nominee Todd Blanche's stalled confirmation as GOP Senators Cornyn and Tillis demand written proof the fund won't return. Seattle's police chief resigned Thursday under pressure from the mayor after criticism over slow public communication following a food festival shootout that killed three, including two bystanders whose fatal bullets didn't match the arrested 15-year-old's gun. A Marine Corps F-35B fighter jet crashed and caught fire Friday at Miramar Air Base near San Diego during a "Class A mishap"; the pilot ejected and was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, and the cause remains under investigation. President Trump described a mass migrant crossing from Morocco into Spain's Ceuta territory as resembling "an invasion," warning it could happen in the US "if the Republicans don't get elected" in the upcoming midterms. An Arizona sheriff's office released two ransom notes from Nancy Guthrie's kidnapping case, with the second note stating she was dead, as investigators continue working to piece together details of the case. The US barred imports from 43 additional companies over allegations they used forced labor tied to China's treatment of Uyghurs, expanding an existing list of sanctioned firms under US forced-labor import restrictions. California will raise its statewide minimum wage to $17.40 per hour starting January 1, 2027, becoming the highest state minimum wage in the country, a move Governor Newsom said prioritizes "working families." California Governor Gavin Newsom released four years of his tax returns as federal investigators examine the finances of his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, amid an ongoing inquiry into the couple's financial dealings. The Trump administration says it now has a plan to rebuild federal election security systems it previously dismantled, unveiled less than 100 days before the midterms and just weeks before mail ballots go out. The US Treasury told banks it may intervene in currency markets to influence the value of the Japanese yen, according to a source familiar with the matter, though no formal action has been confirmed. The State Department called it "an unfortunate error" after using a conference map that incorrectly labeled all countries shown on a map of Africa during an international diplomatic event this week. #USnews #NewsUpdate #newsfeed #BreakingNews #news - @dailyplugusa
