The first U.S. case in nearly a decade was diagnosed in New York last month. Plus: a powerhouse union has a message for Democrats ahead of the midterms. And: new help for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. Guests: Axios' Adriel Bettelheim and Ted Pappageorge, secretary-treasurer of the Culinary Union in Las Vegas, NV.
