DETROIT (AP) — A judge declared a mistrial Thursday after jurors said they couldn’t reach a verdict in a dispute over whether two engineering firms should bear some responsibility for Flint’s lead-contaminated water. Veolia North America and Lockwood, Andrews & Newman, known as LAN, were accused of not doing enough to get Flint to treat the highly corrosive water or to urge a return to a regional water supplier.

After hearing months of evidence, the jury began deliberations on July 25 but also took a planned 11-day break before returning Tuesday.

The crowd grew on Ninth Ave. and 45th Street in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan after the horse collapsed and the driver of the carriage was seen whipping the animal with reins in an attempt to get it to stand back up. “Get up!

Michael Waltz (R-FL) warned if China were to successfully gain control the waters around Taiwan, they would control the shipping routes for Japan, South Korea and partially Australia, which he estimated to be about 50% of the globe’s gross domestic product. “Well, number one, I’m glad [Pelosi] went,” Waltz said. “To not go, as the Biden White House was suggesting, would have been a devastating message to our allies and the Taiwanese — and to the Chinese military, that if we weren’t even willing to visit, what would that mean for our willingness to defend Taiwan and the thriving democracy that it is? Look, I think it’s important to point out why Taiwan matters so much and why it matters to U.S. national and economic security.
