California health officials say tests show that ByHeart baby formula linked to a botulism outbreak contained the type of bacteria that produces the toxin that has sickened at least 13 infants in 10 states. No deaths have been reported. The most recent cases were confirmed in November. Consumers should stop using ByHeart powdered infant formula immediately. ByHeart officials this weekend recalled two lots of the company's Whole Nutrition Infant Formula. Botulism is a rare but serious disease that can cause paralysis and death. Symptoms can take weeks to develop.

President Donald Trump's administration is demanding that states reverse full SNAP benefits issued under recent court orders. The U.S. Supreme Court has stayed those rulings, affecting 42 million Americans who rely on the program. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's demand follows warnings from over two dozen states about potential "catastrophic operational disruptions" if they aren't reimbursed for benefits authorized before the stay. Nonprofits and Democratic attorneys general had sued to maintain the program, winning favorable rulings last week. Wisconsin, for example, loaded benefits for 700,000 residents but now faces financial strain.

Large stretches of the U.S. await one of the season’s first blasts of wintry weather as temperatures dropped in the Northern Plains and snowstorms developed across the Great Lakes. Temperatures are expected to plummet in large parts of the South. Flurries fell Sunday morning across parts of the Chicago area, a precursor to “intense” snowfall by the evening. The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning stretching into Monday evening in northern Illinois, with wind gusts of up to 30 mph and as many as 18 inches of snow. Meteorologists are warning of hazardous travel conditions.

Former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue has died at the age of 84. Tagliabue helped bring labor peace and riches to the league during his 17 years as commissioner but was criticized for not taking stronger action on concussions. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Tagliabue’s family informed the league of his death in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Tagliabue, who had developed Parkinson’s disease, was commissioner from 1989, when he succeeded Pete Rozelle, to 2006. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of a special centennial class in 2020. Current Commissioner Roger Goodell succeeded Tagliabue.

Ahmad al-Sharaa, once detained by the U.S. for joining al-Qaida in Iraq, will be the first Syrian president to visit Washington since 1946. After leading a successful rebellion against Bashar Assad last December, al-Sharaa has worked to establish new international ties. On Monday, he is set to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington. Syria is expected to join the U.S.-led coalition against the Islamic State group. Al-Sharaa aims to push for the full removal of remaining sanctions on Syria. The visit marks a significant shift in U.S.-Syria relations and could impact regional dynamics.

Two Major League Baseball pitchers have been indicted on charges they took bribes to give sports bettors advance notice of the types of pitches they’d throw and intentionally tossed balls instead of strikes to ensure successful bets. Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz both pitched for the Cleveland Guardians. They have been on non-disciplinary paid leave since July while Major League Baseball investigated what it called unusually high in-game betting activity when they pitched. Ortiz was arrested Sunday by the FBI in Boston and his lawyer issued a statement that his client was innocent. Clase was not in immediate custody, and his lawyer didn't return messages seeking comment.
