East River Tube Reopens After Sandy-Era Overhaul

Amtrak’s Line 2 tube of the East River Tunnel between Manhattan and Queens reopened after more than a year of interior rehabilitation spurred by Superstorm Sandy damage. The three-mile tunnel was rebuilt with a new fixed-track system, upgraded drainage, improved signal, power and fire/safety systems, and redesigned emergency walkways. Line 1 will close later this year for the same work, with the entire East River Tunnel rehab targeted to finish by the end of 2027.

McConnell Gatekeeper Snubs Questions Outside the Senator’s DC Home

Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell has been out of the public eye for nearly two months after a hospitalization and rehab stay, as his chief of staff Terry Carmack—reported to earn about $226,850 annually—refused to answer a reporter’s questions outside McConnell’s Washington, D.C. home. Video also shows a healthcare worker present while Carmack and the aide declined to comment on the senator’s health or absence. New footage noted lift-recliner chairs at the door, underscoring ongoing mobility concerns; the senator’s health status remains murky since the June 14 episode.

Water surge in West Hollywood leaves businessman with spinal injuries

A West Hollywood businessman, RJ Holguin, suffered a life-changing spinal cord injury after slipping on a muddy, waterlogged street caused by a massive water-main break that released about 17 million gallons. He jumped to avoid an oncoming car in a crosswalk, then fell and sustained C3–C6 injuries with central cord syndrome, requiring surgery and inpatient rehabilitation. City crews repaired the damage, with Sunset Boulevard reopening on July 24 (a smaller leak followed on July 23).

Rescued Big Bear bald eagle, likely Jackie, begins rehab in Ojai

A bald eagle believed to be Jackie from the Big Bear nest cam was found weak along Big Bear Lake and is in stable condition at the Ojai Raptor Center after transfer from the San Dimas rescue; initial checks showed the bird was underweight, muddy-footed, and with disheveled feathers but no obvious wounds, and veterinarians are conducting a full assessment while theories about her decline include lead poisoning or stress from recent aerial encounters.
