Lawmakers want independent re-do of Air Force missile community cancer study
The Air Force started studying cancer rates in the nuclear missile community in 2023 due to pressure from ailing missile officers. Lawmakers may soon order an independent re-do of an ongoing Air Force study on possible cancer risk in personnel manning its nuclear missiles. A provision in the House's draft defense policy bill would, if passed, require the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to commission a study examining "occupational health and safety conditions" in Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile facilities. The sites include the underground alert facilities where Air Force missile officers spend long shifts prepared to launch in the case of nuclear war. The move comes after an independent researcher concluded there is an increase in cases of a rare cancer at an Air Force missile base in Montana, adding another wrinkle to a years-long push for answers. The new, congressionally directed research would also scrutinize the methodology and design of an ongoing Air Force study of the issue. The Air Force Medical Service and Air Force Global Strike Command, which oversees the service's nuclear-armed missile and bomber forces, began studying the missile community's cancer risks in 2023 after a Space Force officer compiled a list of cancer diagnoses at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana. The Air Force study's preliminary findings indicated troops in the nuclear missile community don't have higher cancer diagnosis or death rates than other active duty servicemembers or the general U.S. population. The official study's environmental surveys, however, confirmed the presence of polychorinated biphenyls − a likely cancer-causing chemical − in alert facilities at Malmstrom and at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota. And an independent assessment of self-reported Non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases at Malmstrom released in April found an increase in diagnoses among missileers. Rep. Don Bacon, R-Nebraska, submitted the independent study amendment, which cleared a key hurdle when it passed the House Armed Services Committee on July 16. Bacon told USA TODAY that a meeting with one of his constituents − an ailing retired missile officer − moved him to author the provision. "Let's make sure that we have some outside experts working with the Air Force," said Bacon, who is a retired Air Force brigadier general. "We want to make sure there's credibility and, whatever results come out, that we've done total due diligence." The Omaha-based representative added that the Air Force needs to learn what's wrong in the aging Minuteman III launch facilities before it builds new ones for the planned Sentinel ICBM. Air Force officials defended the rigor and transparency of their ongoing study in a statement to USA TODAY. "We welcome the opportunity of scientific and medical professionals to review Air Force studies and to provide comments," said Alana Miller, a spokeswoman for the Office of the Air Force Surgeon General. Miller emphasized the internal independence of Air Force epidemiologists conducting the study and their partnerships with external researchers who review their findings. The Torchlight Initiative, an advocacy group for missile community members, praised the independent study amendment in a press release. Torchlight has documented more than 800 self-reported cases of cancer and other exposure-related diseases among ICBM airmen and veterans. "There is an urgent need for ... thorough independent research, formal acknowledgement of likely exposures, and a sustained commitment to safeguard future personnel through enhanced environmental monitoring," the group argued. For the independent study to occur, the provision must make it into the final defense policy bill later this year. The House and Senate typically pass competing versions of the legislation before negotiating a compromise bill for the president's signature. Davis Winkie's role covering nuclear threats and national security at USA TODAY is supported by a partnership with Outrider Foundation and Journalism Funding Partners.

Ellen DeGeneres ‘would love' to host another talk show years after toxic workplace allegations
Ellen DeGeneres is not ruling out the possibility of another talk show in her future. During a live conversation with broadcaster Richard Bacon on Sunday, the 67-year-old former talk show host shared that she misses so many things about hosting her own show, but doesn't think that format would work in today's world. Advertisement 'I mean, I wish it did, because I would do the same thing here,' she told Bacon, per the BBC. 'I would love to do that again, but I just feel like people are watching on their phones, or people aren't really paying attention as much to televisions, because we're so inundated with information and entertainment.' Since moving to England in November 2024, DeGeneres has taken her time in deciding on her next career move, admitting she is making that move 'very carefully.' While she doesn't know what is next for her, she says, 'I want to have fun, I want to do something. I do like my chickens, but I'm a little bit bored.' The comedian hosted 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' for 19 seasons from 2003 to 2022. The show came to an end two years after allegations of a toxic work environment came to light in July 2020. 4 Ellen DeGeneres shared that she misses so many things about hosting her own show, but doesn't think that format would work in today's world. Advertisement DeGeneres addressed the allegations during the opening monologue on the first episode of her 18th season. In the monologue, the comedian issued an on-air apology, in which she called herself 'a work in progress' before adding she is 'especially working on the impatience thing.' 'No matter what, any article that came up, it was like, 'She's mean,' and it's like, how do I deal with this without sounding like a victim or 'poor me' or complaining? But I wanted to address it,' she said in her conversation with Bacon. 'It's as simple as, I'm a direct person, and I'm very blunt, and I guess sometimes that means that… I'm mean?' She went on to say that she finds it 'hurtful' that she probably can't 'say anything that's ever going to get rid of…or dispel' the rumors that she is mean, and that she 'hate[s] that people think that.' 4 'I mean, I wish it did, because I would do the same thing here,' DeGeneres said.

BACKGRID Looking back, she added that it was 'certainly an unpleasant way to end' her talk show. When asked about her recent move to the English countryside, she confirmed it was influenced by President Donald Trump winning the election. She told Bacon she and her wife, actress Portia de Rossi, originally planned to split their time between England and the United States, but changed their minds following the election.

'We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, 'He got in,'' she said. 'And we're like, 'We're staying here.'' Since moving to England, the comedian and de Rossi have noticed 'everything here is just better,' highlighting the beauty of the city, 'the way animals are treated,' and the overall 'simpler way of life.' 'We moved here in November, which was not the ideal time, but I saw snow for the first time in my life,' she explained. 'We love it here. Portia flew her horses here, and I have chickens, and we had sheep for about two weeks.'

More recently, Trump threatened to take away any chance of O'Donnell moving back to the U.S. after saying he is giving 'serious consideration' to revoking her citizenship. Earlier this month, Trump posted about the actor and comedian on Truth Social, writing, 'Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship.' 'She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA,' he added in his post. A screenshot of Donald Trump's post on Truth Social.

Bacon praises Trump ‘pivot' on Russia: ‘We owe Melania some thanks here'
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), a moderate Republican, suggested in a Sunday interview that first lady Melania Trump deserves some credit for President Trump's apparent pivot against Russia in its war against Ukraine. 'Well, I'm glad that the President has pivoted on Ukraine,' Bacon said in an interview on NewsNation's 'The Hill Sunday.' 'I think we owe Melania some thanks here. Even the president said that his wife reminds him every day that Russia is bombing Ukrainian cities every night,' he continued. The president announced on Monday a deal with NATO to provide weapons to Ukraine, and he also warned Russia that he is prepared to levy 100 percent secondary economic sanctions in 50 days, which would target other nations that do business with Russia. Trump has in recent weeks expressed increasing frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin as Moscow continues to fire missiles into Ukraine despite the White House's push for a ceasefire. He described his frustration in Monday's White House meeting. 'I go home and tell the first lady, 'I spoke with Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation.' She says, 'Oh really? Another [Ukrainian] city was just hit,'' Trump said on Monday. 'We're very, very unhappy with them and we're going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don't have a deal in 50 days,' he said. 'Tariffs at about 100 percent.' The White House later clarified that Trump meant 'secondary sanctions' and not tariffs. Bacon, one of three Republicans elected in districts that voted for Vice President Harris in 2024, praised Trump's announcement on Monday but said he wants to see more from the president. Bacon recently announced he would retire after his term. 'I think we should have total moral clarity here. Russia is the invader. They're bombing the cities. And what will happen if Russia prevails in Ukraine? And we should have this clarity. We know Moldova will likely follow immediately. Georgia and Azerbaijan are very vulnerable,' he said. 'If we fail in Ukraine, it's going to cost us a lot more in the future. And Ukraine, how do we get here? They wanted to be aligned with the West. They want to be democracy. They want free markets. They'd like to be in the EU. And Russia couldn't tolerate that,' Bacon added. 'And so I hope the president does more than just sell weapons to NATO, for NATO to give to Ukraine. I hope that he does that, plus more,' he continued. On the secondary sanctions, Bacon added: 'I wish it wasn't 50 days. I wish it was like 20 days or 30 days, but we do need to punish China, Iran, North Korea, for basically propping up Russia's war effort against Ukraine.'
