US House budget threatens over 600 public defender jobs, judiciary warns
July 30 (Reuters) - Federal public defenders would be forced to eliminate over 600 positions or defer paying court-appointed criminal defense attorneys for over two months under a proposed Republican-backed budget plan in the U.S. House of Representatives, a top U.S. judiciary official warned in an internal memo. Judge Robert Conrad, the director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, included those projections in a July 25 memo, opens new tab addressed to members of the judiciary after a House appropriations panel last week advanced an $8.9 billion proposed budget for the judiciary for the next fiscal year. The proposed spending bill advanced by the U.S. House Appropriations Committee's financial services panel increases spending on the judiciary overall by 3.5% but falls "substantially below" what the courts requested, Conrad said. Among the parts of the judicial branch that would suffer are federal public defenders, he said. The bill provides $1.57 billion in funding for the Defender Services program, which provides attorneys to criminal defendants who cannot afford their own lawyers. Criminal defendants have a constitutional right to be provided attorneys under the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark 1963 ruling Gideon v. Wainwright. Conrad said that while the $1.57 billion is up 8.2% from the 2025 fiscal year, it is $196 million below what the judiciary requested, which would force its Defender Services program to "downsize" by over 600 positions, or potentially more if staff cuts occur after the October 1 fiscal year begins. "Reductions of this magnitude would inhibit the Defender Services program from meeting its constitutionally mandated mission," Conrad wrote. He said the other possibility is that payments to court-appointed private attorneys who agree to serve on a court's Criminal Justice Act (CJA) panel will be deferred for 77 days, starting around June 11, 2026, the longest such pause in the history of the program. Those payments are already on hold, as the judiciary this month announced that the program that pays CJA attorneys had run out of money, resulting in a three-month delay. The judiciary has requested $116 million in supplemental funding to address what it calls a "funding crisis." The full House Appropriations Committee will not consider the bill until at least September. Senate appropriators have yet to release their own version of the bill. Details of the memo were first reported by Bloomberg Law. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Urgent recall for ground beef brand over fears it contains metal
An urgent recall for ground beef shipped across the country has been issued over fears the meat contains pieces of metal. Ada Valley Meat Company has recalled 1,065 pounds of a fully cooked frozen ground beef product that may be contaminated with a foreign material. The Michigan-based company has not revealed how big the pieces of metal are or how they might have come to be in the meat. The FDA warns that foreign objects in food that are bigger than 7mm can cause trauma or serious injury, especially in the elderly and children. The problem was discovered after the firm notified the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) that it received a consumer complaint reporting that pieces of metal were found in the product. There have been no confirmed reports of injury due to consumption of these products. The products subject to recall bear establishment number 'EST. 10031' inside the USDA mark of inspection. The item was shipped to establishments and distributors in California, Delaware, Illinois, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. The frozen ready-to-eat ground beef item was packed on May 28, 2025, and May 30, 2025. Each cardboard box shipped by Ada Valley Meat Company contained four 5lb plastic bags of fully cooked ground beef. Other identifiable features on the boxes include the pack date 5/28/25 with lot code 35156 or the pack date 5/30/25 with lot code 35157. FSIS is concerned that some products may be in freezers at institutions such as schools and hospitals. Establishments that have purchased these products are urged not to serve them to customers. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. FSIS also wants to make sure consumers are aware that some of the recalled products could bear different labeling due to further distribution and processing by other establishments. The government agency added: 'Consumers are urged to carefully review the information in this announcement, including the product and label information. 'Please check back frequently as additional products could be added.' No other products from Ada Valley Meat Company are known to be affected. On its website, Ada Valley Meat Company says it prides itself on being a third generation, family-owned business that has been running since 1961. Today it manufactures custom beef, pork and chicken-based products for customers across the country.

Stock futures surge after two of America's biggest firms deliver profits that shatter recession worries
Meta and Microsoft, two of America's largest companies, have both delivered bumper earnings. The second quarter earnings sent both their stock prices higher after market close. Meta reported revenue of 47.52 billion in the April to June period, higher than the $44.8 billion expected by analysts. The shock results sent its shares up 10 percent in after-hours trading. Simultaneously Microsoft reported revenue of $76.44 billion, an 18 percent jump from a year earlier. The figures were also higher than the $73.81 billion anticipated by Wall Street and sent the company's stock 7 percent higher. The earnings reports cap off a day that appears to show the American economy pulling away from any risk of recession. The latest Gross domestic product (GDP) figures released this morning showed the economy grew at three percent in the April through June period. That was considerably better than the 2.3 percent anticipated by analysts. The figures demonstrate a rebound after the economy contracted at the start of the year. The unexpected pace was largely driven by a turnaround in the trade imbalance and renewed consumer strength. Consumer spending rose 1.4 percent in the second quarter, better than the 0.5 percent in the first three months of the year. In the first quarter imports surged as businesses tried to stock up on goods ahead of tariffs, however in the last quarter imports fell 30.3 percent. Although exports dipped 1.8 percent in the period the drop in imports helped to ease the imbalance. The news was swiftly followed by the Fed's decision to hold interest rates steady despite Trump's relentless calls for them to be lowered.
