Good Morning! On this day in 1935, Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in Akron, Ohio, after a New York stockbroker fighting to stay sober realized the best way to resist a drink was to help another alcoholic. He found a local surgeon, and the two built a fellowship that now counts some two million members worldwide.

US Hits Iran After Helicopter Shootdown
U.S. forces struck Iranian targets Tuesday evening, hours after President Trump said Tehran shot down a U.S. Army Apache helicopter patrolling the Strait of Hormuz and vowed America “must” respond.
Both pilots survived and were plucked from the water by an unmanned Navy drone boat, the first rescue of its kind in U.S. military history.
Officials said an Iranian drone apparently downed the Apache, though it’s unclear whether the strike was deliberate. The incident strains a two-month ceasefire already rattled by Israel and Iran trading fire Sunday.
Central Command called the response “proportional” strikes, even as Trump insists a deal reopening the strait could be signed within days.

Social Security Cuts Loom in 2032
Social Security’s main retirement trust fund will run dry in late 2032, three months earlier than projected last year, according to the program’s annual trustees report released Tuesday.
At that point, incoming payroll taxes would cover only 78% of scheduled benefits, meaning automatic reductions unless Congress steps in.
For the more than 70 million Americans receiving benefits, checks would shrink by about 22%. The average retiree would lose roughly $500 a month. See the average monthly cut in your state here.
Congress has two options: bring more money into the program or cut benefits. More than six in 10 older Americans already say their checks aren’t enough to cover rising costs.

Floods, Hail, Tornadoes Slam Heartland
Severe storms could impact more than 90 million Americans this week, with rounds of heavy rain, large hail, and tornadoes sweeping the nation’s midsection through Friday.
The flooding has already arrived. Lanesville, Indiana, received 8 inches of rain in a matter of hours Tuesday, and crews used boats to rescue residents stranded on rooftops as warnings stretched into Kentucky.
Today, the greatest dangers shift east, with millions bracing for damaging winds, very large hail, and possible tornadoes across the Upper Midwest, including Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and Des Moines.
Forecasters warn today could be even more active than the weekend’s storms, with hundreds of high-wind incidents possible as the system rumbles from the Plains toward Wisconsin.

Indigenous Tribe Drinks 5 Cups of Cocoa Daily and has Healthy Blood Pressure, Blood Sugar, and Clean Arteries
There’s an indigenous group of people called the Kuna in Panama that has a fascinating story of longevity, stellar cardiovascular health, and a lack of metabolic diseases like diabetes.
The Kuna drink an average of five cups of a type of cocoa every day and have a rate of cardiovascular disease that is 9 times lower than in most countries.
High blood pressure is almost non-existent in these people, yet they actually consume a good amount of salt.
And cancer rates are an astonishing 15x lower than the rest of the world. And they don’t eat much leafy green vegetables either, like most Americans try to stuff down.
They also consume a fair amount of sugar, yet their arteries are clean as a whistle, and blood sugar and blood pressure are normal and healthy.
But researchers found that it’s NOT their genetics, because members who moved to cities and started eating modern processed foods suffered all the same health problems as most of the world (Diabetes, obesity, heart disease, etc).
Check out the Kuna’s longevity secrets below, along with the type of cocoa they drink, which could be a major factor in their incredible health.
