LONDON (AP) — Chinese online retailer is being accused by European Union regulators of breaching the bloc’s digital rules by failing to stop the sale of illegal products. The preliminary findings released Monday follow an investigation under the bloc’s Digital Services Act, which requires online platforms to keep users safe. The European Commission said a “mystery shopping exercise” found non-compliant products on Temu, including baby toys and small electronics. Temu stated it will cooperate with the Commission. The company has the chance to respond before a final decision. Violations could lead to fines up to 6% of a company’s annual global revenue.

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Vice President JD Vance has hit his home state to continue promoting the GOP’s sweeping tax-and-border bill. He was in Canton, Ohio, on Monday to talk about the bill’s benefits for American families and businesses. His speech before a crowd at the Metallus Inc. steel mill marks Vance’s second trip this month to sell the package that Republicans call the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” as he becomes its chief promoter on the road. In West Pittston, Pennsylvania, this month, Vance told attendees at an industrial machine shop that they should be able to keep more of their pay in their pockets. The White House sees the new law as a political boon, sending Vance to promote it in swing congressional districts.

There was a temporary power outage across the city of Washington and a few spotty outages in North Franklin, California Borough and South Strabane Township Monday morning. Todd Meyers of West Penn Power tells WJPA News that although they patrolled the line, they did not find a cause for the outage. He say they reset their equipment and all customers were restored at 11:04 a.m. Meyers said they had contractors working on some power lines in the city to make upgrades that should result in more reliable electrical service for customers and to protect the crews as that work is underway, they had to change some settings on their equipment. He says typically, if there is a minor issue like a tree branch momentarily contacting a line, their equipment senses that contact, breaks the connection for a few seconds, and then closes back in to re-energize the circuit once the trouble has cleared. Meyers says the lights sort of dim for a second, and then full power is restored. According to Meyers, when crews are working around the lines, they don’t want the lines to automatically try to re-energize, so they change the settings so that when there is an intermittent issue, the power just stays off until they have investigated. Sometimes, he says – they don’t find a cause because a branch may have fallen and bounced off the wire on the way down or something similar. The outage also affected some traffic signals as well.
