CloseTrump on Pelosi: “I thought she was an evil woman who did a poor job”Airlines across the U.S. are canceling hundreds of flights at major airports due to the ongoing government shutdown.
More than 650 flights within, into or out of the U.S. have been canceled for Friday, when air traffic cuts are due to begin, based on data shared by FlightAware.
It comes after Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced 40 of the country’s busiest airports would be reducing flight schedules by 10 percent.
A federal judge in Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration on Thursday to find enough money to fully fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP, for November.
The ruling from the judge in Rhode Island comes after the administration said it would only partially fund SNAP using $4.6 billion in emergency funding for the month, leaving roughly half of the more than 41 million Americans enrolled in the food stamps program without benefits.
The ruling comes after Presi..

Tesla shareholders have overwhelmingly voted to award Elon Musk a massive $878 billion pay package, rather than risk losing him, backing their “superstar CEO” to drive the electric vehicle manufacturer toward a market value of $8.5 trillion within a decade.
Over 75 percent of shareholders backed the plan, company officials said, and news of the approval sent cheers through the audience of investors at Tesla’s annual shareholders meeting in Austin, Texas.
The vote signals investor confidence that Musk is the only man who can lead the business into its next phase of growth into artificial intelligence, self-driving robo-taxis, and humanoid robots.
“I’d like to thank the Tesla board for their immense support,” Musk told the crowd. “We have a fantastic board, a fantastic group of shareholders… What we’re about to embark upon is not merely a new chapter in the future of Tesla but a whole new book.”
The compensation plan voted through outlines several performance milestones that Musk is no..

A federal judge has ordered Homeland Security officials to improve conditions inside a Chicago-area immigrant detention facility where detainees say they are treated “worse than animals” and packed into unsanitary holding cells “like a pile of fish.”
Wednesday’s temporary restraining order from District Judge Robert W. Gettleman follows several hours of courtroom testimony from five people who have been crammed inside the Broadview Processing Center, a focal point for protests against Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda.
“It has really become a prison,” Gettleman said during a hearing Tuesday.
In court filings and in haunting courtroom testimony, detainees described being forced to sleep sitting upright or on urine-soaked floors next to clogged toilets under bright lights. “It was too much,” one person said while crying on the stand.
“Broadview is a black hole, and federal officials are acting with impunity inside its walls,” according to a lawsuit brought by civil rights groups on ..

In recent months, Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has turned heads by openly clashing with GOP leadership on hot-button issues — from the government shutdown to the U.S. relationship with Israel.
Now, one of her colleagues across the aisle is claiming this public rift stems from personal grievances, rather than genuine policy differences.
“People are like, ‘Oh my god, she’s saying all these things, like, what’s gotten into her lately?’” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, said during an Instagram livestream after she was asked about Greene’s apparent change of tune.
“Here’s some tea for you,” she said, leaning in towards the camera.
“Marjorie Taylor Greene wanted to run for Senate in Georgia,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “So, she was gearing up for that statewide race, and Trump told her no. And she has been on a revenge tour ever since.”

CloseRecord-breaking early voting could reshape New York City’s election outcomeZohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee in New York City’s mayoral race, is facing off against former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an independent, on Election Day.
Voters will also pick a new governor in New Jersey and Virginia and decide on a ballot measure in California to redraw its congressional district maps.
Nearly 1.5 million people had cast their ballots in New York City by 3 p.m. Tuesday – with hours more to go before the polls close – but already far outstripping the 1.1 million who voted in the 2021 election.
New Yorkers can continue to vote until 9 p.m. ET when polls close. In other states where elections were taking place, polls close in Virginia at 7 p.m. ET, in New Jersey at 8 p.m. ET, in California at 8 p.m. PT and in Texas at 7 p.m. local time.
President Donald Trump has baselessly claimed voting in California was “rigged.”

Jake Haro has been sentenced to 25 years to life in California state prison for the murder of his seven-month-old son Emmanuel, a child the family originally claimed was kidnapped in August, setting off a sweeping missing person search.
Haro, 32, dabbed at tears in a Riverside County courthouse on Monday as the judge read out the sentence for the “senseless assault and murder” that claimed Emmanuel’s life.
“While no sentence can possible vindicate the loss of innocence and life at the hands of Mr. Haro, a man who was supposed to protect these precious and defenseless children against evil and harm, the sentence here is the most the court can do to ensure that as much justice is done as possible,” the judge said.
Emmanuel’s maternal grandmother, Mary Beushausen, told the court the baby’s death had “destroyed my whole family.” She faulted the justice system for giving Haro a “second chance” after a 2023 conviction for willful cruelty against his child from a previous marriage, which resu..

Scott Bessent didn’t miss his opportunity to take a dig at Ontario Premier Doug Ford and the Toronto Blue Jays after their heartbreaking World Series defeat during a Sunday morning appearance on CNN with Jake Tapper.
The U.S. Treasury Secretary pushed back when asked by Tapper about President Donald Trump’s plans to levy additional tariffs against Canada after, accusing Ontario officials of election interference.
.”He didn't put on a 10 percent tariff, he threatened to put on a 10 percent tariff,” Bessent said. “And Jake, this is unacceptable. I read the premier of Ontario spent $75 million sending propaganda across the U.S. border —”
Tapper cut him off and reminded him that the “propaganda” he was mentioning was just former footage of Ronald Reagan speaking about tariffs in his own words. Bessent ignored the comment and did not engage with Tapper's clarification.
“It's the equivalent of election interference,” Bessent continued. “Nobody likes foreign election interfer..

A Mississippi woman shot and killed one of the monkeys that escaped from an overturned truck last week because she reportedly feared for the safety of her children.
“I did what any other mother would do to protect her children,” Jessica Bond Ferguson told The Associated Press. “I shot at it and it just stood there, and I shot again, and he backed up and that's when he fell.”
Ferguson, who has five children ranging in age from 4 to 16, grabbed her gun on Sunday when her eldest son told her he thought he had seen a monkey running in the yard outside their home near Heidelberg, Mississippi.
When she stepped outside, she spotted the monkey about 60 feet away from her. The Mississippi mom said she and other residents had been warned about the diseases that the escaped monkeys carried so she fired her gun.
