NEW YORK (AP) — Several thousand Microsoft Outlook users ran into issues with the email platform Wednesday night and Thursday morning, with some reporting problems like loading their inboxes or signing in. Microsoft 365’s status page first said that it was investigating an issue with Outlook on Wednesday night, and later shared it was deploying a fix. But affected systems aren’t fully back online yet — with the company noting that it encountered a problem with its initial remedy. Microsoft did not immediately provide further information about what had caused the outage. As of around 10 a.m. ET, nearly 2,200 users worldwide had reported issues with Outlook, formerly also Hotmail, to outage tracker Downdetector. (Photo: AP)

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Fire Department says 31 construction workers are safely out of an industrial tunnel that partially collapsed Wednesday evening. The workers were 400 feet underground and near the coast, as much as 6 miles inside from from the only entrance. Some had to scramble over a tall mound of debris to squeeze out. Rescuers helped pull some out, and they were shuttled to the entrance and hoisted out. Paramedics were evaluating 27 of the workers and officials say none had major injuries. The nearly $700 million project will carry treated wastewater 400 feet below ground from across Los Angeles County to the Pacific Ocean.

KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — Several hundred people have gathered for a worship ceremony at a high school stadium in Texas. The vigil was held Wednesday evening to remember of the at least 120 people who died in the catastrophic flash floods over the July Fourth holiday. More than 160 are still believed to be missing in hard-hit Kerr County. People in the crowd clutched one another and brushed away tears during the vigil. Search crews and volunteers are continuing to scour miles along the Guadalupe River for the people still missing. The floods are now the deadliest from inland flooding in the U.S. since 1976.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is singling out Brazil for import taxes of 50%, citing its treatment of its former president, Jair Bolsonaro. The announcement Wednesday shows that personal grudges rather than simple economics are one of the driving forces behind the U.S. leader’s use of tariffs. Bolsonaro is charged with trying to overturn his 2022 election loss. Trump has described Bolsonaro as a friend and hosted the former Brazilian president at his Mar-a-Lago resort when both were in power in 2020. Brazil’s president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, said in a statement that Trump’s tariff would trigger a retaliatory law and that the country “will not accept being taken for granted by anyone.”

(AP) – Millions of U.S. workers who earn tips and overtime pay may be eligible for a federal tax break when they file their 2025 income taxes next year. But which workers will qualify for the new deductions is among the details the government has to work out. Under a spending and policy bill President Donald Trump signed into law on July 4, the U.S. Treasury Department must publish a list by Oct. 2 of occupations that qualify for tax-free tips. Restaurant servers, bartenders and hairdressers are expected to be eligible. The Treasury Department is also expected to publish guidance on reporting overtime pay. The deduction provisions are set to expire after the 2028 tax year.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Dan Meuser won’t run for governor of Pennsylvania, despite having President Donald Trump’s recent promise of support. Meuser announced his decision Tuesday night to run again for his northeastern Pennsylvania seat rather than seek the nomination to challenge Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro in 2026. Trump singled out Meuser during a rally at a U.S. Steel plant in late May, telling him that “if you run, you have my support totally, and you’ll win.” Two-term Republican state Treasurer Stacy Garrity has said she’s considering running for governor. Shapiro is considered a possible contender for the White House in 2028.

West Penn Power officials tell WJPA Radio that a brief, but mighty power outage occurred Wednesday morning when a squirrel somehow got into a sub-station in the city of Washington. Spokesman Todd Meyers says the outage occurred mid-morning and affected some three-thousand customers in the city of Washington and several surrounding communities. Meyers says the outage though, was very brief, because West Penn had crews in the area and they were able to get to the site quickly and fix the problem. Meyers says squirrels and small animals and birds are big causes of power outages. He says they have rubber guards around the live equipment, but many times, small animals, particularly squirrels, manage to bypass them and then come into contact with wires and other equipment.
