Michigan promotes Boynton Jr. to full-time head coach, signaling continuity

Michigan promoted interim head coach Mike Boynton Jr. to a two-year, full-time deal after two seasons on the staff and his prior run as Oklahoma State’s head coach (2017-2024). With most players staying and only one (L.J. Cason) considering a departure, the roster remains intact as Michigan—coming off its first national championship since 1989—looks to sustain success; Boynton becomes the program’s sixth 21st-century head coach and the first promoted from within.

Michigan Faces Cyclospora Surge; Health Officials Warn and Guide Precautions

Michigan has 1,562 cyclosporiasis cases since June 22 (44 hospitalizations), with the source of the outbreak still under investigation and cases concentrated across several counties. Health officials and the CDC urge anyone with GI symptoms to seek care and follow food-safety guidelines, including cooking produce to 158°F or higher, washing fresh produce thoroughly, and maintaining strong kitchen hygiene. Foods previously linked to Cyclospora outbreaks include bagged salads, cilantro, basil, raspberries, snow peas and green onions, with specific handling tips provided for high-risk groups.

Gordie Howe Bridge Set to Open to Traffic July 27 Under US-Canada Deal

The Gordie Howe International Bridge will open to traffic on July 27 under a Canada-Michigan agreement with U.S. government backing. The deal includes toll governance provisions, a 50% U.S. share of toll revenue with veto power on certain increases, and a 15-year economic development fund linked to bridge profits. Commercial shippers can use the Breakaway toll program at about $6.90 per axle. Leaders from Michigan and Canada welcomed the opening after lengthy negotiations and prior delays.

Whitmer vetoes nine bills after court-ordered presentment ends 18‑month standoff

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer vetoed nine bills that had been tied up in litigation for 18 months and were only presented to her after a Michigan Supreme Court order, effectively blocking measures on Detroit museums, corrections officer pensions, debt collection, and health care contributions. Republicans argue the bills were delayed by the House, while Democrats and labor groups lament the veto, saying it undermines democracy; Whitmer cited administrative burdens and ongoing litigation as reasons to veto despite the court order.

Michigan Braces for Rapid Cyclosporiasis Surge as Cases Climb Over 1,500

Michigan Braces for Rapid Cyclosporiasis Surge as Cases Climb Over 1,500

Michigan’s cyclosporiasis outbreak is expanding rapidly, with 1,562 confirmed cases and at least 44 hospitalizations as of July 10, 2026, rising about 20–30% daily and likely undercounted due to testing gaps and asymptomatic cases. The source remains unidentified, and transmission is foodborne rather than person-to-person. Symptoms include watery diarrhea, abdominal pain and dehydration, and most patients improve with antibiotic treatment such as trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, though severe cases can last weeks. Preventive guidance emphasizes thoroughly washing and cooking produce (158°F or higher kills the parasite) and careful handling; washing alone does not reliably eliminate cyclospora. Stool testing options include an inexpensive O&P test (3–5 days results) and the faster, more expensive BIOFIRE panel (about a day). Pets cannot get cyclosporiasis from humans, but public health officials urge cautious food sourcing and hygiene while investigators seek the outbreak’s source.

Michigan Faces Largest Cyclosporiasis Spike Yet as Source Eludes Officials

More than 700 Michiganders have fallen ill with cyclosporiasis since June, with 36 hospitalizations; no single food source has been identified yet, though suspected contaminated produce such as bagged lettuce, basil, or raspberries is being investigated. Cases span at least 35 counties, led by Monroe (173), Washtenaw (95), and Lenawee (86), with Detroit-area counties adding dozens more. Officials emphasize thorough washing of produce and seeking medical care for prolonged diarrhea, as antibiotics can treat the illness.

Michigan money clash tests El-Sayed and Stevens in pivotal Senate debate

In Michigan’s open Democratic U.S. Senate primary, Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens spar over wealth disclosures, corporate donations, and outside spending (including AIPAC).

Cyclospora Surge Hits Michigan as Outbreak Expands

Michigan is seeing a rapid surge in cyclosporiasis, with more than 700 confirmed cases in about 10 days and additional illnesses in other states as FDA and CDC investigate possible contaminated produce sources. Labs are strained by high demand for tests, and some areas may treat patients based on symptoms before confirmatory results. Symptoms include severe diarrhea and abdominal cramps; the parasite is usually killed by proper cooking, and prevention focuses on thorough produce washing and careful handling of fresh fruits and vegetables.
