Mullin shares update on son from Mayo Clinic amid family health challenges
Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., shared a health update regarding his son, Andrew, who has been at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., as doctors try to determine the cause of a possible mystery illness.
Mullin, whose eyes were bruised — presumably from surgery — announced on Friday that Andrew was set to undergo two procedures. Andrew said in the video that he wanted to be fully sedated, but the Mayo Clinic was allegedly unable to fulfill the request.

MAYO CLINIC FINDS NEW TYPE OF MEMORY LOSS THAT’S OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR ALZHEIMER’S
On Tuesday, the senator shared that several members of his family, including himself, were facing health issues. The senator underwent eye surgery on April 11 and his wife, Christie, had “major knee reconstructive surgery” on April 8, and his mother had a stroke on the same day as his procedure. He said on April 17 that his wife and mother were doing better, as was he.
Mullin’s son, Andrew, however, was facing a different health challenge — one that the senator said in a video on Tuesday that he had been dealing with since January.
“Andrew has been dealing with something a little different since January,” the senator said while standing next to his son in a video posted on Tuesday. “He was at practice at OU and um —”
“[I] had a severe side pain and had to go to the E.R. and get checked out,” Andrew said. The University of Oklahoma wrestler explained that he had fluid in his lungs and some “growth spots” that kept getting worse.

Since the video on Tuesday, Mullin has shared updates on his social media almost daily, if not more often. The day after sharing the health statuses of himself, his wife, his mother and his son, Mullin shared that the Mayo Clinic had ruled out cancer as a possible reason for the growth spots in Andrew’s lungs.

“Senator Mullin is at the Mayo Clinic this week supporting his son, Andrew, as he undergoes rigorous testing. The senator’s priorities are clear: God, Family, and everybody else,” a spokesperson for Mullin told Fox News Digital.
Mullin has thanked the public for their prayers in multiple posts about his family’s health challenges.

Mikey Laser allowed only four hits in Detroit Catholic Central’s win for Div. 1 championship.
Mikey Laser allowed only four hits in Detroit Catholic Central’s win for Div. 1 championship.
East Lansing — This gave a whole new meaning to the term “triple threat.”
Detroit Catholic Central’s offense was humming during Saturday’s Division 1 state baseball championship game against Rochester Adams on the strength of triples.
Lots and lots of triples.
Catholic Central set a championship game record by hitting five triples, which helped catapult it to a 7-0 victory over Adams in the all-Oakland County title game at Michigan State’s McLane Stadium.
It was Catholic Central’s first state championship in baseball since 1999 and finished off a terrific state tournament run after Catholic Central lost to Warren De La Salle in the semifinals of the Catholic League tournament on its own home field.
“What a game right there,” Catholic Central head coach Ryan Rogowski said. “What a hitting performance. I’m telling you, can we hit the ball or what? Them Shamrocks can hit.”
While the offense was sending balls to the wall, Catholic Central was also good at preventing runs thanks to senior Mikey Laser, who limited a powerful Adams offense to just four hits, or one triple fewer than Catholic Central’s lineup produced.
“I was just trying to get ahead with first-pitch strikes,” Laser said. “Just get the ball to my defense and I know they’ll make plays.”
Adams (29-9) was making its first appearance in a championship game since 1996, when it lost in the Class A championship game a second year in a row.
This year’s coach, Andy Lamkin, is in his second stint at the helm of the program and was the head coach of those teams that lost in the 1995 and 1996 championship games.
Thirty years later, Adams hoped to do one better than those teams and claim its first title, but couldn’t get the offense going against Laser and Catholic Central.
“We haven’t done that all year long,” Lamkin said. “You’ve got to give him a lot of credit. He pitched fast. When we did hit the ball hard, it was at people. They outhit us. They took it to us at the beginning and nobody has done that to us this year.”
The triple-barrage for Catholic Central started on the first pitch of the game, when senior Bennett Thompson laced a rope to the gap in left-center.
The next batter, senior Dylan Fairchild, duplicated the feat, hitting his own shot to left-center for an RBI triple that made it 1-0 Catholic Central.
An RBI groundout by Nicholas Garnick put Catholic Central up 2-0 in the first.
With two outs and two men on in the second, Fairchild hit another triple, this time scoring two runs to give Catholic Central a 4-0 lead.
The score stayed that way until the fifth, when Thompson hit another triple to start the inning and then scored on a wild pitch to give Catholic Central a 5-0 lead. Catholic Central then took a 6-0 lead on an RBI single by Cam Swearingen. Junior Jaxon Gatt put Catholic Central up 7-0 in the seventh on a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded.

The sheriff’s office said they were called there at around 6:25 p.m. After deputies secured the area, they investigated and learned there was an argument during a family picnic. A woman who was at the picnic “stormed away” and fired two shots through her sunroof as she drove off. No one was injured.

Witnesses gave deputies a description of the woman’s vehicle. They then went to a home tied to the vehicle’s license plates, where they found the vehicle and the woman.
The woman, a 36-year-old from Milwaukee, was taken into custody. Deputies found a shell casing from the vehicle, which appeared to match another that was found at the crime scene.
What we don’t know:
The sheriff’s office said the woman is in custody pending criminal charges, but it’s not clear at this time what those charges would be. The incident remains under investigation.
Editor’s note: The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office issued a correction to its initial report, which claimed deputies found a gun in the woman’s car. It was also updated to reflect new details about the suspect’s identity.

On Saturday, people gathered at Bethune Park in Minneapolis to celebrate Juneteenth.
“The energy is electric. Everybody out here is having so much fun,” said Andrew Kuria, who was helping his aunt, a vendor.
Fun with meaning and a purpose of celebrating a holiday close to many hearts.
“Juneteenth,” said Imani Waters, who was singing at the event. “Emancipation, and Black people just being able to celebrate our history.”
Community organizers started the Minneapolis tradition in 1982, filling a gap at a time when many didn’t know about the holiday. The Minneapolis Park and Recreation board hosted Saturday’s event, featuring music, food and vendors like Mary Kuria, who’s originally from Kenya.
“Since I’m from Kenya, I thought I could find some people to make stuff for me and then I can bring it here,” said Mary Kuria, who owns Shiro’s African Boutique.
The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture says although the Emancipation Proclamation freed African Americans in rebelling states Jan. 1, 1863, it wasn’t until June 19, 1865, when it was actually fully enforced with the Union army.
“We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the African Americans who were brought here as slaves,” said Mary Kuria. “They actually made a stepping stone for a lot of us, especially Africans, to be able to come here.”
When it comes to 2026: “I think we’re doing better. I think we can improve in certain areas. I know we have a lot of grey areas, but hey, there’s always room for improvement,” said Karla Nelson, who attended the event.
“We’ve come a long way and we have a long way to go,” Waters added.
“It’s a reminder that change can happen,” Andrew Kuria told WCCO.
Juneteenth became a federally recognized holiday in 2021. Minnesota followed suit in 2023, giving the day off to state workers. Wisconsin does not.
