The Update with Brandon Julien

Variety may be the spice of life, but spices themselves hold the key to a healthier, longer life. More than just a dash of flavor, spices provide much-needed benefits to the brain, improving memory recall, focus, energy levels and cognitive function.

In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Wednesday, in our continuing coverage in the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the man accused of killing him has been charged with murder as an act of terrorism, prosecutors said as they worked to bring him to a New York court from a Pennsylvania jail.

In other news, a federal judge said that he won’t dismiss a bribery charge against Mayor Adams because prosecutors described the allegations adequately in an indictment. And in Wisconsin, community members continued to wrestle with grief and called for change in the aftermath of a school shooting that killed a teacher and a student and wounded six others.
