Shawn Fain, UAW’s president, will give updates on negotiations on Wednesday.
2. New charges filed against a Flushing Township man accused of killing his wife. New evidence supports claims that 44-year-old Jeramie Edenburn brutally raped and tortured his wife and stabbed her and her dog to death. For more on this, check out our coverage.

4. The U.S. has approved an updated COVID-19 vaccine, with hopes to prevent a fall surge in cases. The FDA approved the newest shots. Anyone is eligible, even if they haven’t gotten their shot yet.
