Brett Favre reveals Parkinson’s diagnosis in Congress hearing
SUMMARY: On Tuesday, NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre announced his diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease while testifying before the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee. His testimony coincided with discussions on reforming welfare fund management after he was linked to injuries related to his playing days and a controversy involving $77 million in misused Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds. Favre, who has repaid over one million dollars received from TANF, maintained his innocence regarding the fraud allegations, urging Congress to implement measures that prevent future misuse of such funds and better assist those in need.

SUMMARY: The American Red Cross is encouraging blood donations in Mississippi due to a critical shortage.
