Report: Bills connected to two Commanders players ahead of 2025 NFL trade deadline
|
The 2025 NFL trade deadline is soon approaching. On Tuesday at 4 p.m., teams must finalize deals with the league. However, some might not be actually reportedly for hours after that time. Having said that, a late report from a connected reporter is of interest. That has come about via the The Athletic. According to The Athletic, Buffalo has been connected to two players from the Washington Commanders. The duo to reportedly "keep an eye on" for the Bills are wide receiver Deebo Samuel and pass rusher Von Miller: Miller is familiar having previously played in Buffalo. The Bills never closed the door on Miller's career in Buffalo as well despite releasing him for salary cap purposes. Samuel, a first-team All-Pro in 2021, could be the No. 1 receiver threat the Bills currently lack. Samuel is not exactly a deep-target player, though. It still remains to be seen if Buffalo manages to land either player. Bills Wire will continue to provide updates throughout the 2025 season.

2025 NFL trade deadline: Breece Hall making feelings known about wanting to be dealt
|
Breece Hall has already made his feelings essentially known in recent weeks: He wants the New York Jets to trade him. Watching his team deal cornerback Sauce Gardner and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams just ahead of the 2025 NFL trade deadline, Hall has cemented how he's been thinking: Yes, Hall wants out. With just a few hours to go, the Jets (1-7) have seen their running back take to social media to solidify his feelings. Like in recent weeks, Hall has posted to his own pages with images suggesting he wants to be traded: In addition to the one above, Hall posted one that has since been deleted, but the screenshot of it can be found below: Finally, Hall appears to be speaking to NFL insiders... such as Jordan Schultz. Evidently, Hall has outwardly said he wants to be traded: According to recent reports, the Jets have been asking for a third-round pick in exchange for Hall. In making his feelings known, Hall might have made dealing him more difficult. New York is unlikely to get offered a third rounder now since teams will know Hall wants out and the Jets will not want to keep a player who does not want to be in New York anymore. Additionally, Hall was a second-round pick of the Jets in 2022. He is in the final year of his contract and the team will lose him for nothing this offseason. Hall is fresh off a 147-yard outing in New York's first win of the season over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8. Jets Wire will continue to provide updates throughout the 2025 season.

Chris Ballard on Colts-Jets Sauce Gardner, AD Mitchell trade
|
Following the trade between the Indianapolis Colts and the New York Jets for cornerback Sauce Gardner becoming official, GM Chris Ballard released a statement. "Having the opportunity to acquire a talented player like Sauce Gardner was one we did not want to pass on," Ballard said via Colts.com. "He was a player that we scouted heavily coming out of college and there's a reason he was the fourth overall pick. Sauce is a proven cornerback. His skill and competitive nature will elevate everyone's play on the defensive unit. We're thrilled he's a Colt." Gardner is a two-time All-Pro cornerback and is still just 25 years old. He's been very stingy in coverage throughout his career, allowing a completion rate of 50% with 36 pass breakups and three interceptions. Gardner's combination of size and coverage skills makes him an excellent fit for Anarumo's aggressive defensive scheme. Whether in press coverage or on an island, Gardner is comfortable. Prior to this move, cornerback was a major unknown for the Colts, but Gardner's presence turns it into a strength as he joins Kenny Moore and eventually Charvarius Ward, who is eligible to return from IR after the bye week. In order to acquire Gardner, the Colts traded away two first-round picks and wide receiver AD Mitchell. Since that touchdown-turned-fumble in LA, Mitchell's role on offense was almost non-existent. He possesses immense upside, but is still in search of consistency. Along with his comments on acquiring Gardner, Ballard also mentioned Mitchell. "On the same note, AD Mitchell is a great person and a great player. We believe he will have success in New York, and we wish him the best as he enters the next chapter of his career," Ballard said.

3 takeaways from Colts and Jets Sauce Gardner trade
|
Just hours before the NFL's trade deadline, the Indianapolis Colts made a blockbuster deal, acquiring New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner. In return for Gardner, the Colts are trading away two first-round draft picks, along with wide receiver AD Mitchell. Following the news, here are three takeaways on what this move means for the Colts moving forward. This is an all-in type of move by GM Chris Ballard. At 7-2 and at the top of the AFC playoff standings, Ballard has pushed the chips into the middle of the table for at least this year and next based on Gardner's salary cap hits. Led by their high-powered offense, the Colts have been one of the best teams in football through the first half of the season. Now, their biggest roster hole has not only been addressed, but Ballard did so by acquiring a premier player to that position group. Gardner's impact can go well beyond just what he brings as a coverage defender, but his presence can provide the pass rush with a boost and allow Lou Anarumo to be more aggressive -- potentially pairing a very good defensive unit with an already high-scoring offense. Gardner has surrendered some chunk plays, allowing 15.6 yards per catch in 2024 and 17.0 yards per catch this season, but he has been incredibly stingy as a cover cornerback, surrendering a completion rate of just 50.3% over his career. He's also had strong ball production with 36 pass breakups in his career, although just three interceptions. Gardner's combination of size and coverage skills makes him an excellent fit for Anarumo's aggressive defensive scheme. Whether in press coverage or on an island, Gardner is comfortable. As mentioned, that beefed-up coverage presence can have a positive trickle-down effect to the pass rush and how Anarumo calls games. Cornerback has very quickly gone from being a major question mark to a real strength of this Colts team. Once Charvarius Ward returns from injured reserve, which he's eligible to do after the bye week, the Colts' cornerback room will consist of him, Gardner, and Kenny Moore. Trading away two first-round picks along with AD Mitchell, a former second-round draft pick who isn't even two years into his NFL career, is a hefty price tag. However, that's going to be the going rate when acquiring an All-Pro at a premier position, who is still only 25 years old. Since Mitchell's touchdown-turned-fumble against the LA Rams, his role offensively has been almost non-existent, with him playing only 24 snaps over the last five games. Mitchell's talent is evident, with his impressive combination of speed and route running. However, beyond the fumble in LA, consistency is something he's been chasing since arriving in Indianapolis. Not helping Mitchell find playing time is that he was playing at a very deep position group for the Colts.

Gold medalist Charles Coste, world's oldest Olympian, dies at age 101
|
Charles Coste, a cycling gold medal winner for France in the 1948 Olympics and the world's oldest Olympian, died at the age of 101. Coste died last week, according to the office of France President Emmanuel Macron. "The president of the republic and his wife pay tribute to the memory of this champion who left his mark on the history of his sport and of the nation," Macron's office said in a statement. "They extend their heartfelt condolences to his loved ones and to all cycling enthusiasts." Coste won the gold medal at the 1948 London Games as part of his France's team pursuit track cycling team. He and his teammates, Pierre Adam, Serge Blusson, and Fernand Decanali, collectively known as the "ABCD" team, beat silver medalists Italy by nearly 40 seconds. “The image of him passing the Olympic flame to Teddy Riner and Marie-José Pérec in the rain of Paris during the Opening Ceremony of Paris 2024 went around the world,” IOC President Kirsty Coventry said in a statement. “He will be remembered forever. Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.” In one of his last public appearances, Coste was the next-to-last torchbearer at the 2024 Paris Olympic Opening Ceremony, handing off the Olympic Flame from his wheelchair to Teddy Riner, a five-time gold medalist in judo, and three-time gold medalist sprinter Marie-José Pérec, who lit the cauldron. The oldest living Olympic champion is now Nikita Simonyan, 99, who was a member of the Soviet Union gold medal-winning soccer team at the 1956 Melbourne (Australia) Games.

Could Diddy be released from prison? Rapper scores legal win in sentence appeal process
|
Sean "Diddy" Combs may have a new legal home, but his eye remains on freedom. The embattled music mogul's bid for an early release from prison gained some momentum after a judge signed off on expediting the appeal process on Monday, Nov. 3, according to court documents obtained by USA TODAY. In October, Combs, 56, was sentenced to 50 months, roughly four years, in prison after he was convicted on sex-trafficking charges. Combs, who had been held at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center since his September 2024 arrest, was reportedly transferred to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey on Oct. 30. The Grammy-winning rapper is currently scheduled to be released from prison on May 8, 2028, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons' online database. In a ruling from Judge Beth Robinson in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, Robinson granted Combs' legal team's request to fast-track the appeals process schedule to kick off in December. The U.S. government, the opposing party in Combs' federal case, did not oppose the proposed schedule, per previous court documents. USA TODAY has reached out to Combs' representatives for comment. The legal win comes after attorneys for Combs filed a notice of appeal in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Oct. 20. Following a federal sex-trafficking investigation and a series of sexual abuse civil lawsuits, Combs was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. The Bad Boy Records founder went to trial in May, during which prosecutors presented their case that Combs allegedly led a "criminal enterprise" that operated on sex trafficking, kidnapping, drug offenses and forced labor, among other crimes. On July 2, a 12-person jury handed down a split verdict that acquitted Combs of the most serious charges, racketeering and sex trafficking. Combs was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The rapper has denied all charges brought against him. For Combs and his legal team, the music mogul has been serving his debt to society. In their request for an expedited appeal schedule, filed Oct. 29, Combs' attorneys noted that the rapper has already served approximately 14 months of his 50-month sentence due to the prison time he's accumulated since his September 2024 arrest. Additionally, Combs may be eligible for reductions on his prison sentence under the Residential Drug Abuse Program and the First Step Act, both of which aim to reduce recidivism among prisoners through targeted rehabilitation programs. "To ensure that Mr. Combs could meaningfully benefit from any appellate ruling vacating his sentence, we have proposed a schedule that would expedite this court's consideration of Mr. Combs' appeal," the filing stated. Per the approved expedited schedule, Combs' opening brief and appendix for his appeal are due by Dec. 23, followed by the U.S. government’s brief deadline of Feb. 20, 2026. Combs' response to the government's brief will subsequently be due by March 13, 2026, and oral arguments can begin as early as April.

Sauce Gardner, Aaron Glenn top winners, losers of Colts-Jets blockbuster
|
It took a good, long while, but a blockbuster finally dropped ahead of the NFL’s 4 p.m. ET, Nov. 4, deadline to execute trades for this season. The New York Jets stunningly shipped two-time All-Pro CB Sauce Gardner, whom they’d signed to a four-year, $120.4 million extension just three months ago, to the Indianapolis Colts. In return, the Jets get two first-round picks (2026 and ’27) plus WR Adonai Mitchell. A shocking move for both squads seems bound to set off major reverberations now and well into the future. Let’s try to sort it out and parse the winners and losers from a bombshell transaction: The No. 4 overall pick of the 2022 draft leaves a team that had never allowed him to sniff the playoffs to one that’s currently projected as the AFC’s No. 1 postseason seed, which means a first-round playoff bye and home-field advantage. And Indy will need Gardner to immediately step up as he fits in to a 26th-ranked pass defense plagued by injuries to players like CB Charvarius Ward (concussion), a major offseason acquisition. Pro Bowl slot CB Kenny Moore II was fighting an Achilles issue for much of October but is now back in the lineup. Given the rate at which Indy’s top-ranked scoring offense puts points on the board, Gardner will likely find himself tested frequently by teams forced into catch-up mode through the air. The Colts’ general manager has generally adhered to a draft, develop and re-sign philosophy – which is probably wise in theory but has also been problematic while he’s tried to solve the team’s post-Andrew Luck quarterback issues. Apparently confident that he’s found that solution with another New York castoff, Daniel Jones, Ballard is doubling down on a team that probably qualifies as the league’s biggest surprise of this season. Sunday’s loss to Pittsburgh allowed the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos to pull even with Indy in the AFC standings, though the Colts currently own the tiebreaker advantage. They also now add Gardner, who should not only give this defense a boost but is emblematic of the front office’s faith in a roster that most certainly has the inside track to the AFC South title at minimum. And don’t forget, the last time Ballard swung a major deal with the Jets – ahead of the 2018 draft – he wound up with offensive line mainstays Quenton Nelson and Braden Smith, while New York did a bang-up job of stunting the early development of former QB Sam Darnold. Overall, bravo to Ballard for breaking with form in a bid to further propel his ascendant squad. Let’s see what you got, rook. The promising third-rounder from Florida State should see his playing time with the Jets go through the roof with Gardner out of the picture. Indy’s new defensive coordinator has generally had a stabilizing impact on a unit that’s struggled mightily in recent seasons. Now he’s got another effective cover guy – whether he gets hot Sauce or the milder variant – who should help Anarumo’s pass rushers, who don’t receive much assistance from the blitz, get home with even greater efficacy. It’s been a rough season for the Jets’ rookie coach and GM, respectively. But getting sign-off on a deal of this magnitude not only says something about their job security but also provides them with ample runway, in terms of time and capital, to improve this roster and culture with players they consider better fits. Having four first-rounders over the next two drafts could also signify the Jets are amassing ammo to target a quarterback of their liking given the Justin Fields experiment seems to have fizzled. Whether you’re Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza, Oregon’s Dante Moore, Alabama’s Ty Simpson or otherwise, you can feel rather confident that the Jets will provide another surefire landing spot at or near the top of the 2026 draft board – and the consequential payday that comes with being a top-five pick at a time when none of them might actually be top-five overall prospects when next April rolls around. Somebody’s going to the Jets … Better get Darnold’s number for advice, fellas. A second-round pick last year, perhaps he’ll benefit moving to a Jets team badly in need of help at wideout. Yet it’s not only damning that Ballard readily cut the cord to Mitchell, who appeared to slide down last year’s draft board to No. 52 overall, he’ll also be joining the league’s worst passing offense – and one where WR Garrett Wilson gets most of the target share from Fields, his former Ohio State teammate. A standout during his first two NFL seasons, Gardner has retrograded to average over the past two. Per PFF, opposing quarterbacks are currently achieving a passer rating of 102.5 when targeting him, easily the worst rate of his career. Perhaps worse, it’s not a great look for the Jets’ new regime to give up on him so quickly after he appeared to be contractually cemented as a franchise cornerstone. Gardner may be out of Gotham’s spotlight, but Indy fans will be watching their new investment closely given what he might cost them down the road. All NFL news on and off the field.

Erika Kirk reveals Sinclair asked if she wanted an apology from Jimmy Kimmel
|
Erika Kirk is revealing the conversations she had with Sinclair Broadcast Group after Jimmy Kimmel's controversial comments about her late husband, Charlie Kirk. In a preview clip from an interview with Jesse Watters set to air on Fox News on Nov. 5, Kirk said Sinclair reached out to her while Kimmel was facing backlash for a monologue he delivered in the wake of Charlie Kirk's killing in September. "They asked, 'Do you want Jimmy to give you an apology? Do you want to be on a show? How can we make it right?'" Kirk said. "Through our team, I responded. I said, 'Tell them thank you. We received their note. This is not our issue. This is not our mess.'" Kirk added that her message to Kimmel was, "If you want to say 'I'm sorry' to someone who's grieving, go right ahead. But if that's not in your heart, don't do it. I don't want it. I don't need it." In September, both Sinclair and Nexstar Media Group announced they would stop airing Kimmel's show on their local ABC affiliates in response to the comedian saying that "the MAGA gang" was "desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it." Kimmel's critics argued he misled his audience by suggesting Tyler Robinson, the suspect charged with killing Kirk during an event at Utah Valley University, is a supporter of President Donald Trump. ABC suspended "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" indefinitely on Sept. 17 after facing pressure from the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, who criticized Kimmel for the remarks. In a statement issued on Sept. 17, Sinclair demanded that Kimmel issue a "direct apology to the Kirk family," as well as "make a meaningful personal donation" to the family and to Kirk's organization, Turning Point USA. Jimmy Kimmel chokes up over Charlie Kirk's widow Erika in emotional monologue By Sept. 22, ABC's parent company, Disney, announced that Kimmel's show would return the following night. The company said it suspended the show because "we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive," but he was brought back to the air following days of "thoughtful conversations." Jimmy Kimmel says his Charlie Kirk comments were 'maliciously' mischaracterized During his first monologue back after the suspension, Kimmel did not directly apologize for his comments but said it was not his "intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what was obviously a deeply disturbed individual." The comedian also choked up in his monologue as he said it was "never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man," and he praised Erika Kirk for forgiving her husband's alleged killer during an emotional eulogy. "That's it. A selfless act of grace, forgiveness from a grieving widow," Kimmel said. "It touched me deeply, and I hope it touches many. If there's anything we should take from this tragedy to carry forward, I hope it can be that." Sinclair initially declined to resume airing Kimmel's show on its ABC affiliates but brought it back starting on Sept. 26, even though Kimmel had not met its demands for an apology and donation. Kimmel has continued to defend his original comments about Charlie Kirk. During a conversation at Bloomberg Screentime in October, he argued his statements were "intentionally, and I think maliciously, mischaracterized."

Are flags at half-staff after death of former Vice President Dick Cheney?
|
Flags at the White House were lowered to half-staff on Nov. 4 after the death of former Vice President Dick Cheney, although President Donald Trump has yet to address the news. Cheney, who served as vice president under former President George W. Bush, died on Nov. 3, his family announced. He was 84. Flying the American flag at half-staff is symbolic of a nation in mourning. Generally, flags have been flown at half-staff for the deaths of major officeholders like past presidents and vice presidents. It has also been done for days of remembrance like Memorial Day or the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. While Trump has not ordered flags to be flown at half-staff around the country after Cheney's death, some have already been seen lowered at the White House. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a press briefing that the flags were lowered "in accordance with statutory law." Trump has not publicly issued an order for flags to be flown at half-staff for Cheney's death, but Leavitt said they were lowered at the White House "in accordance with statutory law." The federal law about the position and manner of display of the American flag says that it must be flown at half-staff until a former vice president's day of interment. Traditionally, past presidents have issued proclamations ordering flags to be flown at half-staff across the U.S. to symbolically mourn the deaths of a former president or vice president. Most recently, in December 2024, former President Joe Biden ordered flags lowered for 30 days after the death of former President Jimmy Carter. The last time a former vice president died – Walter Mondale in 2021 – then-President Biden also ordered flags to be flown at half-staff. Similar orders have been made to honor the deaths of other public figures or the anniversary of days of remembrance. Trump directed that flags be lowered most recently after the assassination of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk in September. Flying a flag at half-staff instead of full staff symbolizes mourning. Former President Dwight Eisenhower standardized the practice. In 1954, he signed a proclamation ordering the U.S. flag to be flown at half-staff on federal grounds for the death of officials or former officials, including the president, vice president, Supreme Court justices and more. The practice was enacted into law in 1998. Melina Khan is a national trending reporter for USA TODAY. She can be reached at melina.khan@usatoday.com.

Salary cap impact of Indianapolis Colts trading for CB Sauce Gardner
|
What will be the salary cap impact for the Indianapolis Colts in acquiring cornerback Sauce Gardner from the New York Jets? The Jets just signed Gardner to a four-year contract extension over the summer. This deal was worth $120.4 million and included $40.5 million fully guaranteed at signing with $84.65 million in total guarantees. The Colts will inherit a large portion of that contract, which will keep Gardner in Indianapolis for the next five-plus seasons. Spotrac recently broke down the salary cap ramifications for the Colts when it comes to taking on Gardner's deal. The original structure of Gardner's deal with the Jets allowed New York to pull this deal off just months after signing him to an extension. In most instances, a massive dead cap hit would have made such a trade not possible. Here are some additional details on the salary cap mechanics of this trade from Spotrac: "The Jets structured his offseason extension with a minimal signing bonus ($13.75M), backed up by future option bonuses in 2026/2027. Those options now transfer to the Colts, leaving behind just $19.75M of dead cap for the Jets to handle over this and next season." Since entering the NFL, Gardner has established himself as one of the premier cornerbacks in the game. For his career, he has allowed a completion rate of just 50.3% while forcing 36 pass breakups and coming away with three interceptions.

It's harder than ever for first-time buyers to crack the housing market
|
As housing remains scarce, pricey, and out of reach, the share of first-time home buyers has hit an all-time low. Just 21% of buyers were first-timers in the 12 months ending June 2025, the National Association of Realtors said in its 2025 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, released Nov. 4. That’s only about half the long-time average share of 38% in records going back to 1981. Meanwhile, the average age of the first-time buyer rose once again, to 40. "The implications for the housing market are staggering," said Jessica Lautz, NAR’s deputy chief economist, in a statement. The market is increasingly bifurcated, Lautz said, noting "buyers with significant housing equity making larger down payments and all-cash offers, while first-time buyers continue to struggle to enter the market." The share of homes purchased with all cash also hit an all-time high in the past year, at 26%. The report’s findings may say as much about the broader U.S. economy as they do about the housing market. Homeownership remains a dependable strategy for building generational wealth. A 2024 report from the Aspen Institute found that renters have a median net worth of just $10,400 compared to about $400,000 for homeowners – and that fewer than half of all renters have positive cash flow, or money left over after covering all necessary household expenses. But as fewer and fewer Americans are able to break into the market for the first time, they’re shut off from those opportunities. For anyone watching the housing market, the grim findings are no surprise. Home prices hit a new all-time high in 2024, with the median at $412,500. A borrower would need an annual income of at least $126,700 to afford a mortgage payment on a home of that price, using the traditional lender ratio of 31% debt to income, according to calculations from Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies. More: Homeowners have nearly 40x the wealth of renters. What's causing the wealth gap? But half of all renters were "cost-burdened" as of 2023, the most recent data available, meaning they spend more than 30% of their income on housing and utilities, according to the Joint Center's State of the Nation’s Housing 2025. That makes it harder to put aside money for a down payment and an eventual purchase.

Quinnen Williams trade details: Jets deal star DL to Cowboys in blockbuster move, per reports
|
The New York Jets have agreed to a second blockbuster trade ahead of the 2025 NFL trade deadline. After sending star cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts in a deal earlier in the day, the Jets are trading All-Pro defensive lineman Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys are sending two future draft picks – including a 2027 first-round pick and a former first-round selection – to the Jets as part of the deal, per multiple reports. Williams, 27, was a first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Alabama. He has been named to three consecutive Pro Bowls and has 40 sacks across 98 career games (94 starts). Williams has 32 tackles, one sack and three forced fumbles for the Jets in eight games this season. Here's what to know about the Jets' latest blockbuster deal: Cowboys get: Jets get: The Cowboys acquired Williams, hoping the 2022 All-Pro first-teamer can help turn around a defense that has struggled greatly in 2025 following the Micah Parsons trade. Williams has graded as Pro Football Focus' seventh-best interior defender and will be an immediate starter next to veteran Kenny Clark. Williams is under contract through the 2027 NFL season, so he fits owner Jerry Jones' vision as a piece that can help the team both this year and in future seasons. Meanwhile, the Jets are buying low on Smith, a 2023 first-round pick who struggled during his career and has only been active for five games this season. They also acquired a couple of high-end draft picks and now have multiple first-round selections in both the 2026 and 2027 NFL Drafts. The Cowboys have two first-round selections in 2027 because of the Parsons trade. The Jets will get the better of the two picks to complete the trade. Williams is in the second season of a four-year, $96 million extension he signed with the Jets in 2023. Below are the full terms of that deal, per Spotrac.com. The Cowboys will be on the hook for roughly $8.4 million owed to Williams this season. The Alabama product is then set to have cap hits of $21.75 million in 2026 and $25.5 million in 2027, making Dallas' total cost of acquiring him about $55.65 million. (This story will be updated as more information becomes available.)

Details of Seahawks trade for WR Rashid Shaheed revealed; Seattle sends two draft picks
|
The details of the Seahawks trade for wide receiver Rashid Shaheed have been revealed. Adam Schefter broke the news on the Saints’ return at 10:06 a.m. PST- just eighteen minutes after Tom Pelissero first reported the trade at 9:48. Seattle will send a fourth- and fifth-round pick to New Orleans. In return, Shaheed will reunite with Klint Kubiak, who helped him blossom into one of the premier deep threats over the past few seasons in spite of a decreasingly deep-threat friendly NFL. Shaheed is a coming free agent in 2026, but adds the one element Kubiak’s offense was missing in the Emerald City in pure speed. At 10:45 a.m. PST, Albert Breer confirmed that Shaheed’s deal was done without a new contract in place- solidifying the notion this move was all-in on investing in the offense for this season. While Seattle was happy to move off bigger, less agile deep threats this year in DK Metcalf and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Shaheed is still agile enough to fit their mold of versatility at the wideout spot. They can now deploy 4 WR sets with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Tory Horton Jr, and Shaheed- providing Sam Darnold with massive versatility and making even more headaches for opposing defenses to cover.

Grocery buddies are helping buy food for SNAP recipients. What are they?
|
Neighbors are helping fellow community members nationwide, signing up to be a grocery buddy and paying for food as SNAP recipients and others have lost their benefits during the government shutdown. People are connecting through social media posts or grassroots efforts within communities to provide food assistance, and a brother-sister pair also launched a website that can link up people nationally. Many of those participating also say they will continue to do so after partial or full SNAP benefits resume. The Trump administration has said SNAP benefits will be partially paid in November. Last week, Kelsey Strouse, 34, saw a post on a buy nothing social media group chat about grocery buddies. "I thought 'someone should organize something to connect these people,' and well, I'm on maternity leave and have a little flexibility. I guess I'll try," said the Princeton, New Jersey teacher. Within six days, Strouse matched 100 families. She has temporarily closed her form since she had 90 more families asking for help and not enough people who wanted to be grocery buddies. "It really does have a neighbors helping neighbors feel," Strouse told USA TODAY. "For the people who are buying the groceries, they can really see the tangible effect rather than just giving money to an organization. For the people receiving the groceries, they feel... 'My community has my back.'" Strouse said once she pairs people up with each other, they coordinate. Some send money directly to the recipient or they go shopping together. Strouse's husband got a list of groceries needed from the person they were paired with and dropped off $100 worth of groceries. Strouse has seen first-hand what happens when her students have faced food insecurity. "I know in my classroom, if a kid has not gotten enough to eat over the weekend, Monday is tough," she said. Dina Skinner, 54, a single mother of a 19-year-old in Princeton was grateful to have someone buy her groceries. Skinner worked as a social worker until a brain tumor sidelined her career. Her grocery buddy met her and gave her $200 in grocery gift cards. "I was just so appreciative," said Skinner. "It's very humbling." In Milwaukee, Meag Sargent, 30, posted on her social media accounts her interest in being a grocery buddy. But she quickly started hearing from more people needing help than she could sponsor. So she reached out to a group chat of friends, including Jenny Holmdohl, 31. When they created a Google Form and put it online, they quickly received more than 200 requests from volunteers and recipients. Sargent said they've been "building this plane as we go," but they've so far paired 20 people and have another 50 they're trying to connect. The friends said they decided not to limit those requesting help to SNAP recipients, saying there are plenty of people who have food insecurity who don't qualify for benefits. They also plan on continuing to pair people, even if SNAP benefits get reinstated since many people have said even with full benefits, it is still a struggle to afford groceries. Sargent is helping two families for November and December. She is contributing $400 a month for one family and is trying to coordinate with the other, a single mom with one child who asked for $50 worth of groceries. Sargent said she's trying to see if she needs more help. The friends said they've been heartened to see so many people help others they don't know. "In the last year, I've been feeling pretty down about society and been like 'People don't care about one another, nobody's connecting.' This has really proved the opposite. I'm starting to actually think the collective is feeling the exact same way as me," said Holmdohl. "We are coming together and working together to make some good change," she said. While many of the grocery buddy systems popping up around the country are based in specific communities, Nina Quincy had a different idea. The Houston woman asked her brother in Mooresville, North Carolina to build a website to connect people in need and people willing to help anywhere in the U.S. Within 48 hours, Brent Friar, who owns a digital marketing and website development firm, and his colleagues had Findagrocerybuddy.com up and running. The website is set up for recipients to request a shopping cart of food from Instacart and via PayPal. A grocery buddy can sponsor the cart. No information is shared between the recipient and the donor. The website launched on Oct. 31, and so far, they've helped 36 families in 15 states. Friar said the process has been slow since he is manually checking and confirming eligibility for people who have lost their SNAP benefits, are federal workers without pay or are food insecure for another reason such as a layoff. He's hoping to get some more volunteer help to speed the process along. Most applicants have been asking for groceries of about $150 to $200, but the largest single purchase was a donor who bought more than $600 worth of food for a family, Friar said. Five grocery hacks: With grocery prices rising, here’s how shoppers are saving money Miriam Kavanagh, 49, of Covington, Kentucky was shocked when a stranger paid for about $180 worth of Instacart groceries within a day of her applying on the website. "Many people feel like those who are on SNAP just buy junk food," she said. "I was grateful to finally be able to buy fresh spinach as opposed to canned spinach for my smoothies, which I knew I couldn't do during the shut down." In a thank you note Kavanagh hopes will reach her grocery buddy, she called the person a "saint on the street." "You have made my life so much easier. With all the languages in the world, there still aren’t enough ways to say thank you. Whoever you are, whatever you do, you, your family, and your friends will forever be in my prayers."

Sauce Gardner trade grades: Who won blockbuster deal between Colts, Jets?
|
So much for a quiet NFL trade deadline. In the lead-up to Tuesday, there seemed to be a serious shortage of superstar players on the trade block, with the likes of Myles Garrett and Maxx Crosby seemingly off limits. But a flurry of action gave way to a truly stunning deal with a little more than three hours remaining to the cutoff, as the Indianapolis Colts agreed to acquire two-time All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner from the New York Jets in exchange for two first-round draft picks and wide receiver AD Mitchell, according to multiple reports. The swap sends one of the league's most accomplished young defenders from the bottom of the AFC to the top of the conference. It also single-handedly reshaped each team's outlook for both the short and long term. Who won the deal? Here are our grades. Where did this version of Chris Ballard come from? Getting uncharacteristically bold has served the Colts general manager extremely well in the past few months, as his more aggressive moves helped set the table for Indianapolis' resurgence. This, however, is the kind of move that Ballard might have laughed off as pure fantasy or speculation in previous years. Now, it's his reality. There's strong incentive for Indianapolis to try to fully capitalize on what it has this season. And at 25, Gardner can be an asset for years to come. But this was an exorbitant price to pay for a player already due a massive sum. If Gardner had lived up to his first two seasons in which he quickly established himself as one of the league's premier cover men, there would be no pushback. But he's surrendered a 118.8 passer rating when targeted this season, according to Next Gen Stats. Indianapolis is clearly buying that any issues are the product of the Jets' wider defensive shortcomings. That might be at least partially true, but it's a substantial gamble to make. Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo has done impressive work to revitalize what had been a static unit, and getting more reliable coverage on the back end could make Indianapolis a much more legitimate threat in the AFC. Yet cornerback play is inherently volatile, which typically means heavy investments there can quickly prove regrettable. If this leads to a deep playoff run, Ballard will be celebrated. But if he doesn't, he'll be hearing for quite a while that he got lost in the Sauce. Moving on from Gardner less than six months after making him the league's highest-paid cornerback seems like an almost unfathomable outcome for the Jets, even amid what's shaping up to be an expansive rebuild. But with this return, there's little question that it was the right decision. The Jets' problems are far bigger than any one player, and there's no ending the league's longest playoff drought without substantial upheaval. The new regime clearly thought Gardner would be a cornerstone, but maybe something changed along the way in the first half of the season. Regardless, the list of players who are worth at least two first-round picks is extremely short, and it's hard to say that Gardner belongs on it given the nature of his position and how he's fared as of late. Amid plenty of unrest with a 1-7 start, Gang Green now truly can preach patience. The Jets can target their quarterback of the future early this year while still using a premium pick elsewhere to boost the roster. And New York will also be able to allot much of the money and cap space that was set to go to Gardner in the coming years elsewhere. Getting Mitchell, a talented wideout who needed a change of scenery after his regrettable goal-line fumble earlier this season, is icing on the cake.

Tampa Bay Lightning at Colorado Avalanche odds, picks and predictions
|
The Tampa Bay Lightning (6-4-2) face the Colorado Avalanche (7-1-5) Tuesday. Puck drop from Ball Arena in Denver Colorado, is set for 9:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's NHL odds around the Lightning vs. Avalanche odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions. 2024-25 season series: Tampa won 2-0 The Bolts have won 5 straight games after a 4-2 win at Utah Sunday as slight (+101) dogs. C Anthony Cirelli drilled his seventh goal of the season as backup tendy Jonas Johansson stopped 25 of 27 shots fired his way. It was a quiet game for RW Nikita Kucherov, who went pointless for the second straight game, and had just 1 SOG. When the Lightning are winning without his contributions, that's a scary team. The Avs have lost in regulation once this season, but they've dropped 5 of 7 after a 3-2 OT loss at San Jose Saturday. The Avs were -238 favorites as some Sharks loyalists got paid. LW Martin Necas (11th) and C Nathan MacKinnon (10th) each tickled the twine. G Mackenzie Blackwood stopped 20 of 23 in his first start of the season back from injury. Watch the NHL on Fubo! Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 1:36 p.m. ET. Andrei Vasilevskiy (3-3-2, 2.61 GAA, .899 SV%) vs. Scott Wedgewood (7-1-2, 2.53 GAA, .900 SV%) After a rough start to the season, allowing 9 goals in his first 2 starts, Vassy has been electric. He has allowed 4 goals combined in his last 3 starts against Dallas, Nashville and Vegas. He went 2-0-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .933 SV% in 2 starts against the Avs last season. The Avs go back to Wedge, as this may be a situation a 1A and 1B for a while, and he has been good. He stopped 21 of 23 in a 4-2 win over Vegas Friday. A career backup, Wedgewood hasn't faced Tampa since 2022-23, when he was a tough-luck loser, stopping 28 of 30. Lightning 3, Avalanche 2 I realize the Avs are great at home, but they've been kept out of the win column 5 times in 7 games. And you're going to offer me +125 for Tampa, winning with diminished production from Kucherov - AND Vasilevskiy is in between the pipes? Give me LIGHTNING (+125) please and thank you. Give me NIKITA KUCHEROV OVER 0.5 POWER-PLAY POINTS (+150). He rises for this matchup as he had 2 goals and 4 assists in 2 games against Colorado last season. Two of those assists came on the PP. The Bolts are 3-7 O/U in their last 10, and the Avs are 4-6. Recent matchups have been a little wonky as Tampa has won 8-2, 5-2 and 6-3 in the last 3 meetings. Colorado went through some goalie conundrums, but they have it sorted out now. Give me UNDER 6 (+100). For more sports betting picks and tips, check out SportsbookWire.com and BetFTW.

What political positions did Dick Cheney hold? A look at his career
|
It was a long road to second-in-command. Former Vice President Dick Cheney's career in politics began with a fellowship position in 1968, years before he would eventually work his way up to vice president in 2001 under former President George W. Bush. In the years between, Cheney, who died on Nov. 3 at 84, held several elected and appointed offices throughout his long career. Here’s a breakdown of all the positions he held. Live updates: Dick Cheney, powerful VP who pushed Iraq invasion, dies at 84 Cheney began his career in federal service with a congressional fellowship in 1968. In 1969 during President Richard Nixon’s administration, according to an archived website for the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Cheney served as a special assistant to the director of the Office of Economic Opportunity. In 1971, he was hired as a White House staff assistant and later became assistant director of the Cost of Living Council. He stayed in that position until 1973, the department stated. Cheney then spent a year in the private sector. Under the Ford administration, Cheney served as deputy assistant to the president from 1974 to 1975. In 1975, he was promoted to White House chief of staff and remained in that position until 1977. He also managed the president’s unsuccessful 1976 presidential campaign. Following the Ford administration, Cheney won election as Wyoming’s representative in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1978. Though Cheney was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, he largely grew up in Casper, Wyoming. Cheney was reelected for five additional terms and served several years on the House Intelligence Committee and the House Intelligence Budget Subcommittee. House Republicans later chose Cheney to serve as whip in December 1988. President George H.W. Bush nominated Cheney to serve as defense secretary in 1989, and Cheney began serving in that office in March of that year. Cheney served in that position until 1993. While Secretary of Defense, Cheney directed the U.S. invasion of Panama and Operation Desert Storm in the Middle East. In 1995, Cheney briefly served as chairman and CEO of Halliburton, a petroleum industry engineering and construction company. President George W Bush asked Cheney to be his running mate in March 2000. Initially, Cheney declined, but agreed after Bush asked him again in July. Cheney served as vice president from 2001 to 2009. Michelle Del Rey is a trending news reporter. Reach her at mdelrey@usatoday.com

Payton Pritchard on how historic bad shooting night impacted Boston Celtics vs. Utah Jazz
|
The Boston Celtics put up the worst 3-point shooting night of any team in NBA history with at least 50 attempts against the Utah Jazz in a 105-103 home loss on Monday (Nov. 3) night. Given the 3-point heavy style sometimes referred to as "Mazzulla Ball" (named after Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla) is by definition a high variance style of play, this outcome was probably only a matter of time for Boston to arrive at. That said, the taste of such an inefficient shooting night leaves in one's mouth is not any better with the knowledge that water should eventually find its level, and the players themselves are no exception to that sentiment. Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard opened up about how that dynamic impacted Boston on the court in the loss, saying, "Not hitting shots in this league puts a lot of pressure on your defense" "I mean, you (saw it) in the second half, they got to the free throw line, hit 3s, so then, it stagnates," he added. "(It) makes us more stagnant on offense, because we have got to get it out, to take it out there on the set defense," continued Pritchard. "So, if we’re making shots, then we can set our defense better." "That’s just some better flow. And to be honest, anybody likes to see the ball go through the net, (it) gives you a boost of energy." Still, despite the rough shooting night and its impacts, Pritchard remained positive. "We’ll figure it out, though. It’s part of the learning curve. You keep getting better." "Don’t hang your head, just on to the next, keep growing." Listen to "Havlicek Stole the Pod" on: Spotify: https://tiny.ee/CdKp iTunes: https://tiny.ee/RK47 YouTube: https://tiny.ee/cOW3

Trump has the two longest shutdowns in US history. Here is how they compare
|
The U.S. Senate failed on its 14th and latest vote to end the government shutdown on Nov. 4, extending it to 35 days, tying – and positioning it to exceed – the stand-alone record set during President Donald Trump’s first term in 2019. The legislation failed 54 to 44. Sixty votes are needed for passage. The Senate's voting results, mostly along partisan lines, were close to a majority of those in the previous 13 attempts. The first vote was taken Sept. 19. While lawmakers said bipartisan negotiations are picking up, no deal has been reached to end the shutdown, USA TODAY reported. Trump’s combined shutdowns have already eclipsed the collective record of 56 days, which took place over five shutdowns in three years, during President Jimmy Carter’s administration. Here’s how Trump’s shutdowns compare: Can't see our graphics? Click here to reload the page. The federal government closed twice during Trump's first administration. The first, in January 2018, lasted three days. The second, which started Dec. 22, 2018, and ended Jan. 25, 2019, lasted 35 days. The shutdown started after Trump sought $5.7 billion to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico. The money was supposed to be part of the appropriations bill for fiscal year 2019. Congressional Democrats said the wall funding was unnecessary and refused to approve it. Trump signed a short-term funding bill that did not include wall funding to end the shutdown. The 2025 shutdown began on Oct. 1, the start of fiscal year 2026. It began after Senate Republicans failed to win enough Democratic support on a short-term funding measure that would keep federal agencies open through Nov. 21. Lawmakers have been deadlocked over health care funding and tax credits for the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, that expire at the end of the year. Democrats want the subsidies to be extended before enrollment begins Nov. 1. Democrats also want written assurances that the White House will not try to unilaterally cancel spending agreed to in any deal, according to Reuters. The shutdown will not end until a compromise is formed on health care funding and other disputed matters, or until at least 60 senators vote to extend the stopgap bill. The GOP holds a 53-47 Senate majority, but 60 votes are needed to advance legislation. SOURCE USA TODAY Network reporting and research; Reuters; senate.gov

Tom Brady reveals dog Junie is clone of former pet Lua, which died in 2023
|
Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady said on Tuesday that his dog, Junie, is a clone of his late pet, Lua, who passed away two years ago. The pit bull mix was shared by Brady with his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, and their children. The new dog was cloned using a blood sample collected before Lua's death. The now-FOX broadcaster made the revelation on Tuesday and shared an announcement with Colossal Biosciences, a Dallas-based biotech company that claims they are "developing the science that will save us, our planet, and the species that inhabit it." "I love my animals. They mean the world to me and my family," Brady said. "A few years ago, I worked with Colossal and leveraged their non-invasive cloning technology through a simple blood draw of our family's elderly dog before she passed." The company, founded in 2021, also announced that it acquired another biotech company, Viagen Pets and Equine, and has cloned pets of numerous celebrities. Brady also said that Colossal "gave my family a second chance with a clone of our beloved dog" and said that he is "excited how Colossal and Viagen's tech together can help both families losing their beloved pets while helping to save endangered species." Brady, a three-time NFL MVP, is also an investor in Colossal.

Instant analysis of Colts' trade with Jets for Sauce Gardner
|
In a blockbuster trade, the Indianapolis Colts are acquiring cornerback Sauce Gardner from the New York Jets. In exchange, the Colts are sending two first-round picks in the 2026 and 2027 NFL drafts to New York, along with wide receiver AD Mitchell. Let's dive into our initial takeaways from this move and what the trade means for the Colts moving forward. - At 7-2 on the season and sitting at the top of the AFC playoff race, this was an all-in type of move from GM Chris Ballard. He now adds a premier defensive back to the equation to go along with the Colts' elite offensive unit. - Cornerback was clearly the Colts' biggest need at the deadline. This is a unit that Ballard has addressed throughout the offseason, but injuries continued to test the depth of this unit. - Once Charvarius Ward returns from injured reserve, which he's eligible to do after the bye week, the Colts' starting cornerback group will feature Ward, Gardner, and Kenny Moore. - With those players in the secondary, that can allow Lou Anarumo to be much more aggressive as a blitzer, which in turn will help the defensive front generate more quarterback pressures -- another area where the Colts could use improved play. - For his career, Gardner has allowed a completion rate of just 50.3% while forcing 36 pass breakups and coming away with three interceptions. According to PFF, 24 of Gardner's pass breakups came during the 2022 and 2023 seasons. - Gardner is an excellent fit for Anarumo's defense. His size and coverage abilities make him a defender who will be comfortable playing on an island. - Earlier this summer, the Jets had signed Gardner to a four-year contract extension that was worth $120.4 million with $40.5 million of it guaranteed at signing with $84.65 million in total guarantees.. According to Spotrac, Gardner's cap hits for the next five and a half seasons are as follows: - In order to acquire a top-tier player, a top-tier price is going to be involved. With that said, the Colts did give up a lot in order to make this deal happen. - Following another disappointing season in 2024, Ballard's roster-building approach has taken a drastic shift this year, and it's certainly paid off for the Colts. Gardner, Daniel Jones, Cam Bynum, and Charvarius Ward are all big-time additions for this Colts team. - Mitchell possesses a ton of upside. His combination of speed and route-running abilities allows him to get open at all levels of the field. However, inconsistency has been an issue, and he's barely seen the field since that fumble-turned-touchdown against LA. But still, I'm surprised the Colts moved on from him.

Jaylen Brown took issue with the no-call on his trip in Boston Celtics loss to Utah Jazz
|
The Boston Celtics should never have let themselves end up in a position where a potential missed call by an official would be enough to decide a game against a team that is widely seen as one of the worst in the NBA's Western Conference. Yet that is exactly what ended up going down late in the Celtics' 105-103 loss to the Utah Jazz at TD Garden on Monday (Nov. 3) night. Late in the contest, Jazz guard Keyonte George appeared to slip on a wet spot in the game's final moments, and when his spill on the parquet caused star Boston forward Jaylen Brown to slip and lose possession in a critical moment, no ref called what is usually an automatic foul. Brown took issue with the lack of a whistle when asked about the play postgame. "Man, y’all are going to get me fined because you can’t have a mistake like that as an official at that point in the game," protested the Georgia native. "It’s (the) fourth quarter—it’s a minute left in the game, or less, and you completely—the whole staff blows the (expletive) call," said Brown, "you know what I mean?" "It cost us the game -- unacceptable," he continued. "You can make mistakes at any point in the game, but right there, that wasn’t good." "That wasn’t good, it’s unacceptable. And they (were) telling me like, ‘Oh, like, we didn’t see it.’ Like, how (did) none of you see it? You can’t trip somebody in the fourth quarter and it just be a no-call. That’s some (expletive)."

A 'shocking' blast of winter weather is headed for the East Coast
|
A "shocking" Arctic blast – with temperatures more akin to mid-January than early November – is poised to overspread the eastern half of the U.S. starting around Nov. 8, sending tens of millions into an early deep-freeze, forecasters said. We're "skipping fall and going right to winter," said Weather Trader meteorologist Ryan Maue on X, who called the cold "shocking" and "stunning." Another meteorologist, Ben Noll of the Washington Post, said on X that "the first Arctic outbreak of the season will send temperatures tumbling from the Dakotas to Florida early next week." The blast is courtesy of our old wintertime foe the polar vortex, Maue said, while the source of the cold is all the way from Greenland and the Canadian Arctic. What is the polar vortex?: The often misunderstood polar vortex is awakening again Along with the cold, rounds of lake-effect snow are forecast for the Great Lakes region and the Northeast. And at the same time, while the East shivers, much of the West will bask under unusually mild to even warm weather. The cold and dry Arctic air moving south out of Canada will drive a cold front across the central and eastern U.S. early next week, which will cause temperatures to drop to 10-15 degrees below average, according to the Weather Prediction Center. "The coldest air of the season will arrive Sunday (Nov. 9) into Monday (Nov. 10) of next week as a strong arctic cold front dives south into the U.S.," according to Weather.com. "Highs will top out in the 30s in places like Minneapolis, Chicago and Detroit, with highs in the 40s along the I-95 corridor and as far south as Atlanta. "It will feel more like winter by Sunday and Monday morning with lows in the teens and 20s," according to the forecast from Weather.com. High temperatures are forecast to only reach the 30s across the Upper Midwest, Great Lakes, and northern New England, and sub-freezing lows will be possible as far south as the Central Plains and Tennessee Valley, the Weather Prediction Center said. For many parts of the East, "there is increased potential for subfreezing overnight temperatures, likely resulting in an end to the growing season across areas that have yet to see a first freeze," the Climate Prediction Center said. "Across the Southeast, temperatures possibly falling below 40 degrees F may result in frost formation and damage to sensitive vegetation." Fortunately Noll said the Arctic blast will be short-lived: "It doesn't mean that winter is arriving early. Milder air will return." Snow will fall across some northern states, especially near the Great Lakes, Noll said. Specifically, snow will be likely on Friday Nov. 7 in the high elevations of the Northwest and will be possible Saturday Nov. 8 and Sunday Nov. 9 from the Northern Plains to the Great Lakes and New England, the Weather Prediction Center said. "Wintry weather chances will likely linger across the Great Lakes and New England through early next week underneath a deep upper level low/trough." The flow pattern combined with the anomalously cold air also increases the potential for occasional episodes of snow across the interior Northeast and extending along the Allegheny Front, with lake-effect snow also possible downwind of Lakes Ontario and Erie, said the Climate Prediction Center. Therefore, "a slight risk for heavy snow is posted across these areas for Nov 11-13. Snowfall amounts in the models are not all that impressive, but this would be noteworthy given that it is early in the season," the CPC said. Meanwhile, strong ridging developing over the Intermountain West will allow temperatures to rise to 10-15 degrees above average in that area. According to the CPC, the entire western half of the nation will see above-average temperatures next week, with the most unusually warm weather likely over the Four Corners region.

Colts trading AD Mitchell as part of Sauce Gardner deal
|
In a blockbuster move, the Indianapolis Colts are acquiring cornerback Sauce Gardner from the New York Jets. In exchange for Gardner, the Colts are sending the Jets two first-round draft picks in 2026 and 2027, along with wide receiver AD Mitchell. Since Mitchell's touchdown-turned-fumble against the LA Rams, his role offensively has been almost non-existent. Since that game, he has played a grand total of 24 snaps over the last five games, and this includes being a healthy scratch in Week 6 against Arizona. Mitchell's talent is evident, with his impressive combination of speed and route running. However, beyond the fumble in LA, consistency is something he's been chasing since arriving in Indianapolis. Not helping Mitchell find playing time is that he was playing at a very deep position group for the Colts. For his career, Mitchell has caught 32 passes for 464 yards. He still has two-plus years remaining on his rookie deal. (Please note that this article will be updated.)

Seahawks acquire WR Rashid Shaheed from New Orleans Saints in deadline trade
|
The Seattle Seahawks have made their first move at the trade deadline, which will come at 1:00 pm Pacific Time this afternoon. According to Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport, the Seahawks have acquired wide receiver Rashid Shaheed in a trade with the New Orleans Saints. Seattle made a move seemingly out of left field to bolster their already explosive offense, which looked practically unstoppable Sunday night against the Washington Commanders. Sam Darnold has a new weapon to work with. Shaheed is quite familiar with offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak's system, as the pair worked together in the Big Easy last season. Kubiak is well aware of the speed Shaheed will bring to the Pacific Northwest. So far this season, Shaheed has hauled in 44 receptions for 499 yards and two touchdowns. The four-year veteran has 138 receptions, 2,055 yards and 12 touchdowns to his name already. The one bit of concern for Seattle is the fact Shaheed is likely a half-year rental, as he will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. However, that does not seem to be a concern for the Seahawks, who are signaling they are all-in with this current team in 2025. Seattle is a solid squad with eyes on something greater than merely returning to the postseason. Seahawks Wire will have more information, when available, on Shaheed, as well as other moves Seattle may make at the deadline.

Sauce Gardner trade details: Jets deal All-Pro CB to Colts in blockbuster deadline move
|
The New York Jets have agreed to send cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts in an NFL trade deadline blockbuster. The Colts will be sending two first-round picks and a young receiver, Adonai Mitchell, to the Jets to complete the trade. Gardner is a two-time All-Pro first-teamer who had 20 tackles and six pass defenses across seven games for the Jets in 2025. The 25-year-old became the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history after signing a four-year, $120.4 million contract extension with the Jets during the 2025 offseason. Here's everything to know about the Gardner trade and what it means for the Jets and Colts. Colts receive: Jets receive: The Colts sent Mitchell and two first-round picks to the Jets in exchange for Gardner. Presumably, the picks will be Indianapolis' 2026 and 2027 first-rounders, though that has not yet been confirmed. Gardner will fill a significant need in the Colts' cornerback room. They have a terrific outside starter in Charvarius Ward as well as a quality slot-man in Kenny Moore. However, the team hasn't found a quality No. 2 cornerback, so Gardner will be tasked with making a physical, imposing cornerback duo across from Ward. Meanwhile, the 1-7 Jets are accelerating their rebuild, getting draft assets in exchange for Gardner that will give them buying power in their quest for a quarterback. And Mitchell – a talented second-round pick from the 2024 NFL Draft who hasn't yet put it all together in Indianapolis – is a worthwhile flier for a team in desperate need of young talent at the receiver position. Gardner will be under contract with the Colts through the 2030 NFL season thanks to a four-year extension he signed with the Jets during the offseason. Below is a look at the full details of Gardner's extension, per Spotrac.com. Gardner's contract extension won't kick in until the 2026 NFL season. Until then, he will be playing on the final year of his rookie contract (in 2025) and a fifth-year option (2026). (This story will be updated as more information becomes available.)

Colts make blockbuster trade deadline deal acquiring cornerback from Jets
|
The Indianapolis Colts have made a blockbuster trade ahead of Tuesday's deadline. According to Ian Rapoport, the Colts are acquiring cornerback Sauce Gardner from the New York Jets. The Colts are sending two first-round picks to the Jets for Gardner, along with wide receiver AD Mitchell. The cornerback depth for Indianapolis has been tested all season long, and with the Colts 7-2 on the season and at the top of the AFC standings, GM Chris Ballard addressed that need in a major way. Gardner has established himself as one of the premier cornerbacks in the game. For his career, he has allowed a completion rate of just 50.3% while forcing 36 pass breakups and coming away with three interceptions. Earlier this summer, the Jets had signed Gardner to a four-year contract extension that was worth $120.4 million with $40.5 million of it guaranteed. He is now under contract with the Colts for the next five-plus seasons. Gardner will join a current Colts' cornerback room that includes Kenny Moore and Jaylon Jones, while Charvarius Ward will be eligible to return from injured reserve following Indianapolis' bye week. Gardner is a very good fit for Lou Anarumo's aggressive defense, and his impact can be felt beyond what he brings as a coverage defender. His presence in the secondary can benefit the pass rush and allow Anarumo to be more blitz-heavy when needed. This is an all-in type of move for a team that has been one of the best in football through the first half of the season. (Please note that this article will be updated.)

What did Donald Trump say about Dick Cheney? Bush's VP died at 84
|
President Donald Trump and former Vice President Dick Cheney exchanged barbs over the last few years, but what has Trump said about Cheney's passing? Cheney died at the age of 84 on Nov. 3 of complications of pneumonia as well as cardiac and vascular disease, his family announced in a statement. The vice president under President George W. Bush, Cheney was widely considered the most powerful and controversial vice president in American history for his hawkish approach to the job and role as a chief architect of the war in Iraq. Cheney has long been a prominent conservative figure, but split from supporting Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. He said he voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. Here is what we know about Trump's reaction to Cheney's death. Live updates: Dick Cheney, powerful VP who pushed Iraq invasion, dies at 84. As of noon Nov. 4, Trump had not commented publicly on Cheney's death. Trump has posted on Truth Social on Nov. 4, calling for the end of the filibuster, calling Jewish people who vote for Zohran Mamdani in the New York mayoral election "stupid," and bashing MSNBC host Joe Scarborough. The White House has lowered the flags to half-staff, per a pool report. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a press briefing on Nov. 4 that Trump is "aware" of Cheney's passing. Cheney was a powerful and controversial vice president under the second Bush administration. With a hawkish reputation, he was a big driving force behind the war in Iraq, devised energy policies and pushed for the expansion of executive powers. A Republican congressman from Wyoming in the 1980s and defense secretary for the elder President George H.W. Bush, Cheney's first prominent role in Washington was as deputy chief of staff and later White House chief of staff for President Gerald Ford. "Dick was a calm and steady presence in the White House amid great national challenges," Bush said in a statement. "I counted on him for his honest, forthright counsel, and he never failed to give his best." Cheney is survived by his wife Lynne, daughters Mary and Liz Cheney and several grandchildren. “Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing,” his family said in a statement. “We are grateful beyond measure for all Dick Cheney did for our country. And we are blessed beyond measure to have loved and been loved by this noble giant of a man.” Cheney was the vice president under former President George W. Bush, from 2001-2009. Cheney died at 84 years old. Trump and Bush are both 79 years old. Former President Joe Biden is 82 years old. Contributing: Francesca Chambers, Melina Khan, Sarah D.

Evansville Purple Aces at Purdue Boilermakers odds, picks and predictions
|
The Evansville Purple Aces face the No. 1 Purdue Boilermakers in a non-conference game Tuesday. Tip-off from Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, Indiana, is set for 6:30 p.m. ET (Big Ten Network). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's NCAA basketball odds around the Evansville vs. Purdue odds and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions for the best bets. The Aces beat the Henderson State Reddies 90-74 in an exhibition game Saturday to prepare for the season. North Carolina Central-transfer G Keishon Porter had 22 points. Porter averaged 10.8 points per game at NCCU last season and figures to be a big contributor. Evansville went 11-21 last season and hope to see marked improvement. Matt Painter enters his 21st season at the helm of the Boilermakers and is 29 wins away from 500 at the university. Purdue opens the season ranked No. 1 for the fourth time in 5 seasons. They are 16-6 all-time when ranked No. 1. G Braden Smith returns for his senior season and is widely regarded as one of the top players in the country. He struggled in the NCAA Tournament last season, averaging 12.3 PPG on 33.3% shooting as Purdue was downed 62-60 in the Sweet 16 by the Houston Cougars. Smith average 15.8 points and 8.7 assists per game during the regular season. – Rankings: USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll Watch NCAA basketball on Fubo! Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 12:33 p.m. ET. Purdue 82, Evansville 54 If you're one of those bettors that doesn't like to lay points, you don't have a choice here. PASS. Take EVANSVILLE +35.5 (-115). Could Purdue shellack the Missouri Valley Conference lightweight? Yes. However, this means more for the in-state Purple Aces than it does for Purdue. The Boilermakers lead the all-time series 9-5, but Evansville has won 5 of 9 since 1963. This number is way too high. It's as if the books expect Purdue to drop 100. Hey, it's possible, but probable? Probably not. I look for Purdue to pull starters, and much like I think Evansville keeps it within 35.5, I like UNDER 150.5 (-110).

2 men arrested in connection with explosion at Harvard Medical School
|
Two men were arrested and accused of using a Roman candle-style firework to cause an explosion at Harvard Medical School over the weekend, authorities announced Nov. 4. The two Massachusetts men, 18-year-old Logan David Patterson and 20-year-old Dominick Frank Cardoza, set off the firework early in the morning of Nov. 1 inside a locker on the fourth floor of the Goldenson Building on the Harvard Medical School campus, according to a criminal complaint. The explosion happened at about 2:45 a.m. and set off a fire alarm, officials previously said. The suspects, who were seen on surveillance cameras wearing face coverings, climbed over a chain-link fence and entered a construction zone, then climbed scaffolding to access the building's roof, the complaint said. After setting the firework, they left through an emergency exit and fled in opposite directions, the complaint said. Special agents and officers with the FBI Boston field office's Joint Terrorism Task Force and Harvard University Police Department arrested them the morning of Nov. 4, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Ted Docks said. No injuries were reported as a result of the explosion, and property damage was "limited," Docks said. Docks said it was only by "luck" that nobody was injured because the building was unoccupied at the time and said of the suspects' actions: “It’s selfish, it’s short-sighted and it’s a federal crime.” While responding to the fire alarm, a Harvard officer saw two people fleeing the building and attempted to stop them before proceeding to the floor where the alarm was triggered, officials previously said. Police released images from the footage of two people wearing face coverings. "Anxiety levels naturally rise when the public learns that an explosion was intentionally caused," U.S. District Attorney for the District of Massachusetts Leah Foley said. "Those levels may rise even higher in the Boston area." The two suspects apparently realized they had been seen on surveillance cameras and began "ditching" identifying clothing, according to Foley and Docks. Cardoza was seen sitting on a bench after fleeing, removing his pants and throwing them in a garbage bin, which investigators were able to recover, Docks said. The two are not Boston-area college students, Foley said, adding that there were several parties in the area on Halloween night. Foley said "principled" members of the public came forward and identified the suspects to law enforcement after seeing their photos released. Contributing: Mike Snider, USA TODAY

'Murder hornet' swarm kill father and son ziplining, pair stung more than 100 times
|
An American father and son died after being stung by a swarm of hornets while ziplining in Southeast Asia, local officials confirmed. Daniel Owen, 47, originally from Idaho Falls, Idaho, and his son Cooper, 15, died following the attack last month at Green Jungle Park in Laos, just northeast of Thailand. Phanomsay Phakan, director of the Phakan Arocavet Clinic, where both victims were taken to be treated, confirmed the incident took place on Wednesday, Oct. 15. "It was very brief and rushed," Phakan wrote in an email to USA TODAY. He did not elaborate. The pair were apparently stung by hundreds of Asian giant hornets as they descended from a tree with a ziplining guide at the adventure resort, U.K. newspaper The Times reported. Owen and his son were apparently on vacation in the country when they died after being stung more than 100 times, the outlet reported. USA TODAY has reached out to the Owen family and Green Jungle Park. Day 35: United States congress ties record for longest shutdown in history A U.S. Department of State spokesperson confirmed two U.S. citizens died in Luang Prabang in northern Laos, People reported, adding, "Out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones during this difficult time, we have no further comment." USA TODAY has reached out to the federal agency. Owen, who lived in Vietnam at the time of his death, was the director of QSI International School of Haiphong, Quality Schools International (QSI) said on its Facebook page. "We are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Dan Owen," The statement on social media went on to say. "Dan dedicated 18 years to QSI, serving in five different schools and touching countless lives with his warmth, leadership, and unwavering commitment to education." "He was deeply loved across our community and will be profoundly missed," the post continues. "Our sincere condolences go out to the Owen family and all who knew and loved them." Giant Asian hornets, the largest hornets in the world, reach up to two inches long and prey on bees and other insects. "They can conduct mass attacks on honey bee hives, destroying the hive in a matter of hours," the Washington State Department of Agriculture released in a statement on its website after the hornets were found in Whatcom County in 2020. Sometimes dubbed "murder hornets," the insects cause dozens of deaths each year in Asia where they are commonly found in countries including Japan.

What did Dick Cheney think of Trump? The late VP was a critic of the president
|
Dick Cheney, the vice president under the George W. Bush administration who died on Nov. 3, was a vocal critic of President Donald Trump. Cheney was 84 years old and died of complications of pneumonia as well as cardiac and vascular disease, his family said in a statement. He is widely considered one of the most powerful vice presidents in American history. Cheney was part of a small group of prominent Republicans who do not support Trump. He said he voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. "There has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump," Cheney said ahead of the 2024 election. Here is what to know: Live updates: Dick Cheney, Iraq war architect, dies at 84 after powerful VP tenure. Cheney was a powerful conservative force, expanding the powers of the vice presidency to promote issues like oil-and-gas production and military action in Iraq. Cheney originally endorsed Trump in 2016. But he joined the likes of Sen. Mitt Romney, Bush and Trump's former vice president Mike Pence in refusing to endorse him in 2024. Cheney's split from Trump came after the Jan. 6, 2021, riots at the U.S. Capitol. "He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him," Cheney said when announcing he would vote for Harris. "He can never be trusted with power again. As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution." Cheney also called Trump a "coward" in a campaign ad for his daughter Liz Cheney, a former Congresswoman from Wyoming who helped lead the House Committee that investigated the insurrection. "Dick Cheney is an irrelevant RINO, along with his daughter," Trump said in a Truth Social post ahead of the election. (RINO stands for "Republicans in Name Only.") Cheney was a powerful and controversial vice president under the second Bush administration. With a hawkish reputation, he was a big driving force behind the war in Iraq, devised energy policies and pushed for the expansion of executive powers. A Republican congressman from Wyoming in the 1980s and defense secretary for the elder President George H.W. Bush, Cheney's first prominent role in Washington was as deputy chief of staff and later White House chief of staff for President Gerald Ford. "Dick was a calm and steady presence in the White House amid great national challenges," Bush said in a statement. "I counted on him for his honest, forthright counsel, and he never failed to give his best."

Seahawks need LB Tyrice Knight to step up in wake of Ernest Jones injury
|
Seattle Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV exited Sunday's primetime victory over the Washington Commanders with a knee injury. The veteran defender did not return to the game. On Monday, head coach Mike Macdonald said Jones' injury isn't of the season-ending variety, but he's still undergoing medical tests to determine the severity. As we await the official results, it's probably safe to assume Jones will be sidelined for Sunday's Week 10 divisional contest versus the Arizona Cardinals. Drake Thomas will continue starting at linebacker. For however long Jones is out for, the Seahawks need sophomore player Tyrice Knight to step up. The expectation was that Knight would be an every-down starter this year. But the former UTEP standout missed the majority of August with a knee injury and another undisclosed medical issue. That led to Knight losing his starting job to Thomas. Knight performed admirably after replacing Jones against the Commanders. The sophomore linebacker recorded 10 tackles. It was the type of stat-stuffing performance Knight became known for down the stretch of his rookie season after replacing Jerome Baker and Tyrel Dodson in the starting lineup. The Seahawks hope Jones won't be sidelined for a significant period. Knight will be counted on to perform in Macdonald's defense in the meantime. This is the opportunity Knight has been hoping to receive, and he's now tasked with maximizing his reps.

Tesla sued over deadly crash that trapped five in burning Model S
|
Tesla TSLA.O has been sued over a fiery Wisconsin crash that killed all five occupants of a Model S, who were allegedly trapped inside because of a design flaw that prevented them from opening the sedan's doors. Jeffrey Bauer, 54, and Michelle Bauer, 55, of Crandon, Wisconsin were passengers when their Model S went off the road and struck a tree in Verona, Wisconsin, a suburb of Madison, on November 1, 2024. They died the next day. According to a complaint filed on Friday by four of the Bauers' children, the couple's fate was sealed because the Model S's lithium-ion battery pack caused the electronic door systems to fail. The children said Tesla knew this could happen based on earlier fires, yet made a "conscious departure from known, feasible safety practices." EV safety: Do Tesla electric cars produce harmful radiation? Here's what drivers should know Tesla, based in Austin, Texas and led by Elon Musk, did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Monday. The automaker has also been sued by families of two college students killed in a Cybertruck crash last November in a San Francisco suburb, after allegedly being locked in the burning vehicle because of its door handle design. In September, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration disclosed a probe into possible defects on some Tesla doors, following reports that handles could fail. The Bauer children said Model S rear seat passengers like Michelle Bauer were particularly vulnerable following crashes, because they would have to lift carpeting to find a metal tab allowing their escape, which is not intuitive. A nearby homeowner told 911 she heard screaming from within the Bauers' vehicle, the complaint said. "Tesla's design choices created a highly foreseeable risk: that occupants who survived a crash would remain trapped inside a burning vehicle," according to the complaint. Other defendants include the estate of the car's driver, who the Bauer children accused of negligent driving. The lawsuit was filed in a state court in Dane County. The case is Bauer et al v Tesla et al, Wisconsin Circuit Court, Dane County, No. 2025CV003601. Reporting by Jonathan Stempel in New York; Editing by Bill Berkrot

Did Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling 'flee' the US? Actress responds to moving rumors
|
When it comes to the rumor mill, Eva Mendes isn't afraid to call out rubbish when she sees it. The award-winning actress and longtime partner of Ryan Gosling addressed recent media speculation that she and the Oscar-nominated actor relocated to the U.K. The A-list couple reportedly lives in Santa Barbara, California, with their two daughters: Esmeralda Amada, 11, and Amada Lee, 9. Citing recent photographs of Mendes in London, the Daily Mail reported in an Oct. 30 article that Mendes, 51, and Gosling, 44, had bought a home in the Hampstead area and were "settling into their new posh, high-end neighborhood" after "fleeing" the U.S. due to the country's political climate. "WRONG again @dailymail," Mendes wrote on her Instagram story Monday, Nov. 3. "Although I love my time in London, I can't wait to get back home and celebrate the @dodgers World Series championship! Go Dodgers!!!" Eva Mendes on family life: Actress had 'non-verbal agreement' with Ryan Gosling to be stay-at-home mom Gosling has been busy filming the "Stars Wars" spin-off film "Star Wars: Starfighter." In a Sept. 18 Instagram post, director Shawn Levy posted a photo of Gosling and costar Flynn Gray, which showed the actors aboard a vessel on the water: "Somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea. #Starfighter." The photo's location was tagged as Sardinia, Italy. The film, which stars Gosling alongside Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre and Amy Adams, is set to be released on May 28, 2027. 'I was just foul-mouthed and smoking': Eva Mendes on why she couldn't be a mother in her 20s Mendes, whose last on-screen acting role was in the Gosling-directed fantasy drama "Lost River" in 2014, opened up about slowing down her career in a March 2024 interview on the "Today" show, explaining that she and Gosling had a "non-verbal agreement" that she would focus on parenting while he continued his acting career. "It was like a no-brainer," Mendes said at the time. "I'm so lucky, and I was like, if I can have this time with my children. And I still work, I just didn't act. Because acting takes you on locations; it takes you away." Contributing: Naledi Ushe and Greta Cross, USA TODAY

Cheney embraced 'Darth Vader' persona shaped by wars, national security fights
|
WASHINGTON – Dick Cheney was once vilified as the Darth Vader of the Republican Party for his aggressive prosecution of Middle East wars, but he embraced the image even as he and his daughter were ostracized from President Donald Trump’s version of the GOP. Cheney, who died Nov. 3 at 84, helped direct the Persian Gulf War as defense secretary to President George H.W. Bush. After the terrorist attacks Sept. 11, 2001, Cheney became the architect of the war plans in Afghanistan and Iraq as vice president to President George W. Bush. During those latter conflicts, Cheney defended harsh interrogation techniques that others labeled torture. Then-Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, who headed the Intelligence Committee, described interrogation of suspected terrorists during that period, including waterboarding and sleep deprivation, as "absolutely brutal, far worse than the CIA represented them to policymakers and others." But in later years, Cheney and his daughter, former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyoming, became heroes to many Democrats by becoming two of the most vocal critics of President Donald Trump. Trump retaliated by blasting the elder Cheney for "Endless, Nonsensical wars" and the younger Cheney as a "radical war hawk." Cheney came to the vice presidency under President George W. Bush with some of the most experience in history, including serving as chief of staff to President Gerald Ford and as a House member from Wyoming. In the aftermath of Sept. 11, Cheney’s role expanded to oversee the hunt for terrorists in Afghanistan and for weapons of mass destruction that were never found in Iraq. "I think things have gotten so bad inside Iraq, from the standpoint of the Iraqi people, my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators," Cheney said on NBC’s "Meet the Press" on March 16, 2003. George W. Bush said he remained grateful for Cheney's assistance during their eight-year administration. "Dick was a calm and steady presence in the White House amid great national challenges. I counted on him for his honest, forthright counsel, and he never failed to give his best," Bush said in a statement Nov. 4. "He held to his convictions and prioritized the freedom and security of the American people." Years later, Cheney acknowledged that no stores of such weapons had been found but he defended the course he had advised and Bush had chosen. "If we have learned anything in the last 25 years – from Beirut to Somalia to the USS Cole – it is that terrorist attacks are not caused by the projection of force; they are invited by the perception of weakness," Cheney told the conservative Heritage Foundation in January 2006. "And this nation made a decision: We will never go back to the false comforts of the world before Sept. 11th, 2001. We will engage these enemies with the goal of victory. And with the American military in the fight, that victory is certain." Cheney denied prisoners were tortured. He defiantly said torture was what the Sept. 11 hijackers committed or what happened to U.S. prisoners during the Vietnam war. He said the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel defined what was authorized. "We were very careful to stop short of torture," Cheney told NBC’s "Meet the Press" in December 2014. "The Senate has seen fit to label their report torture. But we worked hard to stay short of that definition." Along the way, Cheney earned a pugnacious reputation. In 2004, he dropped an f-bomb to Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, who questioned his ties to energy company Halliburton on the Senate floor. Commentators across the political spectrum referred to Cheney as Darth Vader. Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham played the character's John Williams theme music from "Star Wars" when she interviewed Cheney. Even George W. Bush joked about the character being his persona for Halloween in 2007. "After all, Darth Vader is one of the nicer things I've been called recently," Cheney said at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy in October 2007. When a Wall Street Journal reporter visited Wyoming to interview Cheney in 2015, the former vice president showed off his trailer hitch modeled after the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Fleet. "Darth Vader," Cheney said. "I'm rather proud of that." Despite his gruff image as the incarnate of evil, Cheney and his daughter won support from Democrats and factions of the GOP for their criticism of Trump. Liz Cheney was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump was acquitted in a Senate trial. Cheney and his daughter were the only Republicans who attended a memorial the following year at the Capitol. Liz Cheney became a member of the House committee that investigated the riot and urged the Justice Department to prosecute Trump for it. "I am deeply disappointed at the failure of many members of my party to recognize the grave nature of the January 6 attacks and the ongoing threat to our nation," the former vice president said in a statement after attending a minute of silence ceremony on the House floor. After Dick Cheney endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, against Trump in 2024, Trump called Cheney "irrelevant" and a "Republican in name only." "He’s the King of Endless, Nonsensical Wars, wasting Lives and Trillions of Dollars, just like Comrade Kamala Harris," Trump said in a social media post. Trump blasted Liz Cheney in 2024 during a conversation in Arizona with Tucker Carlson. "She's a radical war hawk," Trump said. "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. OK? Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face." Trump has since ordered the Pentagon renamed the War Department and sunk boats allegedly carrying drugs off Venezuela.

'I was right about Iraq.' It was Dick Cheney's war, and he owned it until the very end.
|
WASHINGTON – His now-infamous claim that “we will be greeted as liberators" will forever tie former Vice President Dick Cheney to the Iraq War launched soon after his fateful March 2003 remarks. But would the war, arguably one of the most disastrous and avoidable in American history, have happened without Cheney? Historians may quibble. But the answer that emerges from a review of Cheney’s actions and statements appears to be a definitive no. Cheney was both a chief architect of the war and its most influential advocate in selling his boss, then-President George W. Bush, on the idea of a preemptive attack to topple Saddam Hussein and occupy the oil-rich former U.S. ally. More: Dick Cheney, Iraq war architect, dies at 84 after powerful VP tenure. Live updates. It began with a two-day meeting of Bush’s national security team at the president’s retreat at Camp David, Maryland, just days after the al-Qaeda terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The focus was on Afghanistan, and when to take out the al-Qaeda training camps protected by the country’s Taliban leadership. Iraq was raised too, with Bush ultimately deciding not to invade but to ask for contingency planning instead, according to journalist Bob Woodward’s 2004 book “Plan of Attack: The Definitive Account of the Decision to Invade Iraq.” But Cheney, Woodward wrote, was particularly focused on Iraq even before 9/11. Over the next 18 months, Cheney − with his dramatically expanded use of White House executive power − led the way in selling the war administratively and politically, in part by stacking Bush’s inner circle with like-minded figures. Among them: Paul Wolfowitz, Lewis “Scooter” Libby and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who was Cheney’s boss when he had served as President Gerald Ford’s White House chief of staff in the 1970s. In public engagements, Cheney often linked the need for regime change in Iraq with the broader Global War on Terrorism, or GWOT, that he oversaw as a de-facto leader of Bush’s war cabinet and gatekeeper to the president. “The danger to America requires action on many fronts all at once,” Cheney said in an August 2002 speech to a Veterans of Foreign Wars convention, adding, “We must take the battle to the enemy.” “Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction,” Cheney told the assembled veterans. “There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us.” By the fall of 2002, Cheney was forcefully leading the administration in asserting that Saddam not only had weapons of mass destruction but that he might share them with terrorists. Cheney consistently pushed that intelligence, which was later proven to be faulty and at times politically contrived. As part of that campaign, Cheney and his chief of staff Libby made repeated trips to CIA headquarters to question analysts on Iraq’s WMD and al-Qaeda ties. Several would later tell The Washington Post − and a presidential WMD Commission − that they felt “they were being pressured to make their assessments fit with the Bush administration's policy objectives.” Cheney also led the charge in pressuring Congress to authorize action against Iraq “or look weak in the face of international terror and weapons of mass destruction.” Pushing back, strenuously at first, was a far more skeptical Secretary of State Colin Powell, Woodward and other historians say. “However, when it came time, Powell did as the president urged and put on his war uniform,” a Washington Post article summarizing Woodward’s book said. After U.S. troops moved in with their “Shock and Awe” strikes, they weren’t “greeted as liberators” at all, but ultimately as an invading army that needed to be repelled, leading to a civil war that has never really ended. The coalition found no Weapons of Mass Destruction either, and two years later, the WMD Commission, established by Bush, acknowledged in a report that the "WMD" fiasco was “one of the most public – and most damaging – intelligence failures in recent American history.” By the time the U.S. withdrew in 2011, the costs of the war stood high: At least 4,480 Americans had died and more than 32,000 had been wounded. More than 100,000 Iraqi civilians died in a war that cost at least $806 billion. By 2023, only about 36% of Americans believed the Iraq invasion was justified, while 61% said it was the wrong decision, according to an Axios/Ipsos poll. Cheney never apologized for his Iraq War stance. In fact, he defiantly insisted in a 2015 Fox News interview that, “I was right about Iraq.” “Our objective was to take down Saddam Hussein. We did it,” Cheney said. “The world’s a much better place without him.”

Kristin Chenoweth says backlash to Charlie Kirk comment 'nearly broke me'
|
Kristin Chenoweth was deeply affected by the backlash to her comments about the death of Charlie Kirk. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on Nov. 3, the "Wicked" star, 57, addressed the mixed reactions she received in September after writing on Instagram that she was "upset" about the conservative activist's killing. "Didn't always agree but appreciated some perspectives," she said at the time. "What a heartbreak. His young family. I know where he is now. Heaven. But still." After Chenoweth's statement sparked backlash among Kirk's critics, the Tony winner told the Reporter the reaction was "tough on me." "It nearly broke me, and that's all I'm going to say," Chenoweth told the outlet. "You probably know my heart, so you probably know." Kirk, cofounder of the conservative organization Turning Point USA and an ally of President Donald Trump, was shot and killed during an event at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10. A suspect, Tyler Robinson, has been charged with his death. Kristin Chenoweth speaks out after Charlie Kirk comments spark outrage Chenoweth previously told NY1 in September that she "had a human moment of reflection" and "came to understand that my comment" about Kirk "hurt some folks and that hurt me." "It's no secret that I have been – that I'm a Christian, that I'm a person of faith. It's also no secret that I am an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, and for some, that doesn't go together," she said. "But for me, it always has. And it always will." What's in your cart? Kristin Chenoweth shares her rescue dog's favorite treats, toys 🐾 Jamie Lee Curtis similarly drew mixed reactions among fans in September after she cried about Kirk's death in an interview on the "WTF with Marc Maron" podcast. Though the "Freakier Friday" star told Maron she disagreed with Kirk and found his ideas "abhorrent," she described the activist as "a man of faith" and said she hopes that "in that moment when he died, that he felt connected to his faith." Curtis later told Variety in October that she received "threatening" backlash over this statement, which she argued was misinterpreted. "An excerpt of it mistranslated what I was saying as I wished him well — like I was talking about him in a very positive way, which I wasn’t; I was simply talking about his faith in God," she told the magazine.

Congress ties record for longest shutdown in history as stalemate hits 35 days
|
Congress tied the record for the longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history as it went into its 35th day on Tuesday, Nov. 4. Over the last five decades, every president except George W. Bush and Joe Biden has weathered at least a few-day shutdown. During their tenures, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama all experienced shutdowns lasting more than two weeks. The longest shutdown took place during Trump's first term and lasted 35 days from December 2018 to January 2019. This shutdown will become the longest ever if it continues into Wednesday, Nov. 5. Here's a look at the ongoing shutdown and the nation's history of shutdowns. Live updates: The government shutdown is about to be the longest ever The current shutdown began just after midnight on Oct. 1 after Congress failed to pass a new budget, marking the fourth shutdown during a Trump presidency. The shutdown will become the longest ever on Wednesday, Nov. 5 if it goes into day 36. Last week, the shutdown surpassed the 1995-1996 shutdown, which endured 21 days, due to a budgetary standoff between House Speaker Newt Gingrich and President Bill Clinton. It lasted from Dec. 16, 1995 to Jan. 6, 1996. Over the last five decades, and as of Oct. 1, there have been 22 federal shutdowns. Here's when they happened and how long they lasted.

Updated NFL playoff standings after Colts' Week 9 loss
|
After a Week 9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Indianapolis Colts are now 7-2 on the season. So where do they now sit in the AFC playoff standings heading into Week 10? Despite the loss, the Colts are still the top seed in the AFC, although they are now tied with the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos. The Buffalo Bills also sit just a half-game back at 6-2. The Colts hold the tie-breaker currently over New England and Denver because they have the better in-conference win percentage with a record of 6-1 in the AFC. New England and Denver are each 4-2. As the one seed, if the Colts can maintain that position, they would be the only team to receive a first-round bye in the playoffs. Along with the Colts' loss, the Jacksonville Jaguars did win on Sunday and picked up a game in the AFC South race. NFL.com has the Colts' playoff probability at 90% -- the third-highest mark in football.

Texas Longhorns vs. Duke Blue Devils odds, picks and predictions
|
The Texas Longhorns and No. 5 Duke Blue Devils tangle in a Tuesday battle in Charlotte, NorthCarolina. The contest at the Spectrum Center -- billed as the Dick Vitale Invitational -- will tip off at 8:45 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's NCAA basketball odds around the Texas vs. Duke odds and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions for the best bets. Texas is playing its first game with new coach Sean Miller at the helm. In 2024-25, UT went 19-16; the Longhorns made the NCAA Tournament but bowed out in the First Four. Miller, a 250-game winner at both Arizona (2009-21) and Xavier (2004-09, 2022-25), inherits a solid backcourt (guards Tramon Mark and Jordan Pope), but Texas does figure to be in a bit of a high-level rebuild on the fly. Duke is sporting a youthful-but-talented roster as it gets its season underway in what is a home-away-from-home game less-than-150 miles from Durham. Last season, the Blue Devils went 35-4, and among that slew of wins were 15 in a row from Feb. 12-March 29. That stretch took Duke all the way to the Final Four where the Devils were ousted by the Houston Cougars. The Blue Devils are undefeated in 5 all-time meetings with the Longhorns. – Rankings: USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll Watch NCAA basketball on Fubo! Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 9:25 a.m. ET. Duke 78, Texas 72 No interest; PASS. Jon Scheyer's Duke squads have had 4 November games lined with single-digit spreads over the last 2 seasons. The Blue Devils went 2-4 ATS in those contests. Miller's Xavier squads had 9 such contests over the last 3 seasons, and XU went 6-3 ATS. Those half-dozen ATS wins included some solid efforts in neutral-site games. Duke will have a talent edge to be sure, but this is a pretty big number to hurdle. Mark and Pope averaged 16.8 and 15.6 PPG, respectively last season, and their presence figures as a key for coming up with a solid underdog effort. The LONGHORNS +9.5 (-110) are the value side of this season lid-lifter in Charlotte. The Under went 5-2 across 7 Duke games last November. Two neutral-hardwood tilts in that stretch landed as Unders, and all 3 matchups lined as single-digit spreads did as well. KenPom's defensive-efficiency metrics pegged Xavier as a top-50 defense each of the last 2 seasons. In that same measure, Duke has been a top-20 each of the last 3 seasons. On a neutral floor, this total sets up as being a tad too high. Consider a partial-unit play on the UNDER 152.5 (-105).

Former Seahawks DL Dre'Mont Jones has already been traded
|
The Seattle Seahawks made the decision to release Dre'Mont Jones earlier this offseason. Jones failed to meet expectations of the three-year, $51 million contract he signed with the Seahawks in 2021. Cutting ties with him saved GM John Schneider approximately $12 million in cap space. Jones swiftly found a new home in free agency following his departure from Seattle. He joined the Tennessee Titans on a one-year contract worth up to $10 million. Jones' tenure in Tennessee was short-lived. He was traded by the Titans to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday in exchange for a 2026 conditional fifth-round selection that could become a fourth-rounder if certain incentives are met. Jones caught fire for the Titans near the NFL trade deadline. He registered 4.5 sacks in the previous four games, increasing his value around the league at the opportune time. Jones never had such productive stretches for the Seahawks, and the rebuilding Titans were thrilled to fetch draft-pick compensation in exchange for a veteran on an expiring contract. Meanwhile the Seahawks utilized the cap space gained by releasing Jones to help fund offseason deals for Sam Darnold, Cooper Kupp, and DeMarcus Lawrence. Schneider has no regrets. It's just curious to see Jones already get traded away from the suitor he signed with six short months ago following his release.

Who is Dick Cheney's family? Former VP survived by wife, daughters
|
Former Vice President Dick Cheney, who died on Nov. 3, is survived by his wife Lynne, daughters Mary and Liz and several grandchildren. Cheney, who served as second-in-command to President George W. Bush during the 9/11 attacks and in the push to invade Iraq in the years that followed, died surrounded by his wife and daughters, according to a family statement. He was 84. In his personal life, the former vice president was married to his high school sweetheart for more than six decades. He and wife Lynne shared two daughters, including former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), who joined her father in publicly opposing President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. "Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing," his family said in the statement. Live updates: Former Vice President Dick Cheney, a war hawk who served three GOP presidents, dies Dick Cheney had been married to Lynne Cheney, 84, for 61 years at the time of his death. During her husband's tenure as vice president, Lynne Cheney held the post of second lady of the United States. The couple met when they were both students at Natrona County High School in Casper, Wyoming. Dick Cheney played halfback on the school's football team and served as senior class president, while Lynne, born Lynne Anne Vincent, was the school's head baton twirler. They married in 1964. Lynne Cheney earned a bachelor of arts degree from Colorado College, a master of arts in English from the University of Colorado and a Ph.D. with a specialization in 19th-Century British literature from the University of Wisconsin. From 1986 to 1993, Lynne Cheney was the chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities, serving under both Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. She also worked as editor of Washingtonian Magazine from 1983 to 1986. A senior fellow at the DC-based think tank American Enterprise Institute, Lynne Cheney has also written several books. Dick and Lynne Cheney had two daughters – Liz and Mary – and seven grandchildren. The eldest of Dick Cheney's two children, Liz Cheney followed in her father's footsteps in entering politics. She served in Congress as a U.S. representative for Wyoming from 2017 to 2023. A vocal opponent of Trump, Liz Cheney, alongside her father, supported Kamala Harris for president in 2024. During her time in Congress, Liz Cheney, a Republican, also voted to impeach Trump and led the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection. She eventually lost her re-election bid to a Trump supporter in 2022. In January, then President Joe Biden awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal, the country's second highest civilian award, to Liz Cheney and Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson, who also led the House Select Committee. Liz Cheney holds a bachelor's degree in political science from Colorado College and a juris doctorate degree from the University of Chicago. She is currently a professor of practice at the University of Virginia Center for Politics. With her husband, Philip Perry, Liz Cheney has five children. Mary Cheney is Dick and Lynne Cheney's younger daughter. In 2004, Mary Cheney worked on her father's reelection campaign, according to a bio on Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy website, which listed her as an advisory board member. She has worked in strategic communications for companies, including the Colorado Rockies Baseball Club and Coors Brewing Company. Mary Cheney holds a bachelor's degree in history from Colorado College and a master of business administration degree from the Daniels Business School at the University of Denver. With her wife, Heather Poe, Mary Cheney has two children. The couple married in 2012. Mary Cheney's sexuality made headlines in 2013 when her sister Liz publicly opposed gay marriage. In 2021, Liz Cheney said she was "wrong" for the position. Melina Khan is a national trending reporter for USA TODAY. She can be reached at melina.khan@usatoday.com.

Dick Cheney's career highlights: Key moments from Nixon and Ford to the Bushes and Trump
|
Dick Cheney, who wielded more power as vice president of the United States than any before him and held the legacy of one of the most controversial American political figures, died at the age of 84 after a career that included representing Wyoming in Congress and shaping foreign policy after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Cheney died on Nov. 3 of complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease, his family said in a statement. From his early days in Washington politics to his remarkable split from Trump-era Republicans in the most recent presidential election, these were some of the most memorable moments from Cheney's life and career: Cheney joined the staff of Donald Rumsfeld, later to serve as Defense Secretary during 9/11 and its aftermath, in the Nixon White House and worked in the administration starting in 1969. After Nixon's resignation amid the Watergate scandal, Rumsfeld became President Gerald Ford's top assistant, and Cheney his deputy. Cheney served on the transition team in 1974 and made history as the youngest White House chief of staff at age 34. He kept the job until the end of the Ford administration. He would go on to represent Wyoming in Congress and was reelected five times. He was later the secretary of Defense from 1989 to 1993 under President George H. W. Bush. Cheney's legacy is perhaps most defined by his actions in the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attacks on New York City and Washington. Earlier in 2001, Cheney took office as vice president under President George W. Bush. Going beyond other vice presidents before him, Cheney played an active role in shaping policy and strategy and was a key architect in the decision that would shape Bush's legacy. Cheney helped push Bush to invade Iraq in 2003 on a mission to thwart Saddam Hussein's alleged stockpiling of weapons of mass destruction – which ended up as misinformation. Cheney was a public face of support for overthrowing Hussein and made public statements predicting a successful outcome. He rejected the idea that the war would become long and costly. "The invasion of Iraq was in many ways Dick Cheney’s war," James Mann wrote in "Rise of the Vulcans: The History of Bush’s War Cabinet." 'I WAS RIGHT ABOUT IRAQ': It was Dick Cheney's war, and he owned it until the very end. Before passengers on United Airlines Flight 93 were able to fight back against hijackers and force the plane to crash land in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001, Cheney gave approval for the plane to be shot down before it could reach the capital, according to the 9/11 Commission Report. "The Vice President authorized fighter aircraft to engage the aircraft,' the report published in 2004 said. The report also said Air Force fighters probably would not have found and reached the aircraft in time. While still vice president, Cheney accidentally shot Texas attorney Harry Whittington with a 28-gauge shotgun loaded with birdshot while on a hunting trip in February 2006. The two were part of a group quail hunting at a ranch in Texas when Cheney fired at a covey of quail, not realizing Whittington, who stayed behind to collect shot birds, had approached. Whittington was sprayed with birdshot in the face, neck and chest. The lawyer was hospitalized and suffered a heart attack triggered by birdshot lodged near his heart, but survived. Whittington told the USA TODAY Network in 2018 that he remained in touch with Cheney and harbored no ill will for the mishap. The hunting accident was first reported by the Corpus Christi Caller-Times, part of the USA TODAY Network, and made national headlines. It was also featured in the 2018 movie, "Vice," in which Christian Bale portrays Cheney. In the 2024 presidential election, Cheney made headlines for announcing he was voting for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, the vice president at the time. "There has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump," Cheney said. Cheney's daughter, former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, was the target of Trump's ire over her role investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and her vote to impeach him. She also endorsed Harris. Cheney suffered five heart attacks throughout his life, with his first coming at age 37 in 1978 during his first congressional campaign. Two more heart attacks came while he was in Congress. The fourth happened after the 2000 election, while a battle dragged on over who won. The fifth was in 2010, after he left office. The health issues, at times, arose at the same time medical advancements were being made widely available that would help extend his life. "It's not true," he told USA TODAY in 2013 of the accusation that he received preferential treatment when he received a heart transplant in 2012. On only one account did he receive a special exemption, according to cardiologist Jonathan Reiner. In 2007, Cheney had a defibrillator device placed that was specially produced by manufacturer Medtronic to exclude a feature that would allow it to be programmed remotely over Wi-Fi. "I thought it didn't make a lot of sense for the vice president of the United States ... to have a device that someone in the next hotel room, someone downstairs, someone on the rope line, might get into and kill him," Reiner said. After leaving office, Cheney repeatedly defended "enhanced interrogation techniques" used against accused terrorists, arguing that the now-defunct techniques yielded useful intelligence. "It worked, it absolutely worked," Cheney said of a CIA program that has been discontinued. The program amounted to "torture," according to Democrats, who said it included waterboarding and sleep deprivation. "I'd do it again in a minute," Cheney told NBC's "Meet the Press" in 2014. "I was a big supporter of waterboarding," Cheney told ABC News in 2010. The election that handed Cheney the vice presidency lasted 35 days from Election Day 2000 to the Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore's concession of the election. It was one of the most contentious and drawn-out elections in American history, marred by logistical issues and problematic ballot design, and stretched by recounts and court debates, making it all the way to the Supreme Court.

They fled Taliban, competed in FIFA event after years of exile. Afghan women 'unstoppable’
|
Afghan goaltender Fatima Yousufi stepped on the field at Berrechid Municipal Stadium in Morocco on Oct. 26 for a historic comeback more than four years in the making. This wasn't just a game. Not after enduring years of exile after fleeing Afghanistan amid the Taliban’s takeover. Not after an 11th-hour relocation of this tournament — the 2025 FIFA Unites Women's Series was originally scheduled to be played in Dubai — because UAE visas for the Afghan team were not approved. Not after finally finding a voice with FIFA as a refugee team. Yousufi said she and her teammates — known as Afghan Women United — felt more pressure than ever in an international tournament. It was a major step in their collective fight to be recognized as a national team. But Mursal Sadat, who plays centerback, said it was also about showcasing the strength of Afghan women and what they can achieve even under the most devastating circumstances. "Everyone was telling me, 'We won’t get it,'" Sadat told USA TODAY Sports about their fight for an Afghan team. "But I said, 'We will still fight this fight, because it's not about us, it's about all the women in our country. It's about being a voice for them.' "It's a matter of gender equality … for every woman and girl around the world." Friendly matches for most national teams are an informal, preparatory part of the sporting calendar. But for the newly-established Afghan Women United team, the FIFA Unites Tournament Oct. 26-Nov. 1 in Morocco marked a moment of great geopolitical — and personal — significance. The four-team tournament allowed the Afghan players to contest their first games against international opposition since they fled their country in 2021, evading oppression from the Taliban, which banned women's sports after returning to power after the withdrawal of American forces. "It has a very big meaning for us,” Yousufi said. "It's going to be a big message … a powerful slap to the Taliban’s face, that we're unstoppable.” The round-robin tournament tested the mettle of the fledgling Afghan refugee team, which lost to Chad, 6-1, and Tunisia, 4-0, before posting an emphatic 7-0 victory in their final match against Libya. But an overarching victory was secured before the first whistle, according to Yousufi, earned by virtue of the team’s mere existence."There were a lot of sacrifices to just make it this far," Yousufi said. “I'm just so glad right now that [after] all our hard work … we have this result.” Reflecting on Afghan Women United’s historic debut, captain Fatima Haidari said there was “a real mix of emotions” among her teammates. "I cried because we are back after many years, after all the moments that we suffered out of Afghanistan, far from our families … but we are still here," said Haidari, who lives in Italy. "We are fighting, and we had that spirit to be together and to strongly go ahead and just play the match." The Afghan players have been in exile since August 2021. More than half of the team resettled in Australia, while others found safety in European countries. High-profile female athletes were a major target of the Islamic fundamentalist movement as it swiftly set about introducing over 70 decrees across the country that restricted women’s rights to sport, education, employment and freedom of movement in public. "When the Taliban arrived, everything just vanished," Yousufi said. "The [football] dream … everything changed to survival mode. “Every day, we were seeing the news that an athlete was killed by the Taliban, a politician was killed by the Taliban, a reporter was killed by the Taliban.” Prominent sportswomen across the country were encouraged to destroy all evidence of their sporting identities. "I was supposed to burn my jersey and my medals … I couldn’t do it,” Yousufi said. "I started to dig a hole in the backyard, and I just … buried my memories, my sacrifices, my hard work and just trying to be a nobody." She thought at the time: "I'm just deleting myself. I did that to be safe, to just save my family, my teammates – everyone.” Yousufi will never forget the four perilous days spent at Kabul Airport, waiting to escape via emergency visas arranged by FIFPRO and the Australian Government. "I myself got beaten by the Taliban during that time," she said. "I just escaped them, and I made my way to the gates. And my family got beaten by the Taliban. It was so bad.” Evacuation enabled the safety of the players, but the ongoing threat of reprisal remained for family members left behind. “There was a day that my mom called me in a hurry, and she told me that the Taliban was here,” Yousufi said. "They searched our house. They made such a big mess around. They even dug up the yards. “My parents at that time; they were so scared.” Participation in international soccer tournaments is a politically charged area of bureaucracy. While sovereignty of state-level decision makers — such as the Taliban-controlled Afghan Football Federation — is technically mandated, mounting criticism from the international community and targeted advocacy by the Sport and Rights Alliance and Human Rights Watch propelled FIFA to take unprecedented action in recognizing Afghan Women United. This is the first time football’s world governing body has established a team in defiance of a national football association. "It was so important for us to keep this title and to have the team back again… to just not let the Taliban win this,” Yousufi said. Speaking after the 4-0 loss to Tunisia, Sadat said, “It’s more than football for us.” “We didn’t care about the result. We just cared about lifting up each other. We’ve got to be true leaders and show the girls in Afghanistan that despite the result, despite the winning or losing, you’re going to be a champion," said Sadat, who along with many of her teammates lives in Australia and plays professionally for Melbourne Victory FC AWT. The last three letters standing for Afghan Women's Team, which has a partnership with the Australian club Melbourne Victory. "The AWT competes in Football Victoria’s competitive leagues where they have recently secured back-to-back promotions and will next season be in the Women’s State League 2," Melbourne Victory's website reads. "In addition to supporting their sporting life, Melbourne Victory is committed to supporting players’ social and cultural lives. This involves investment in support structures providing health and wellbeing, education and employment." FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who was in attendance, congratulated Afghan Women United’s debut on the international stage as, “The beginning of a beautiful, beautiful story that you are writing for yourselves, for your families, for so many girls and women all over the world.” Yousufi hopes the organization will continue to support the team’s ambitions. But for her, the most important thing is inspiring Afghan women who feel hopeless. “I know it’s so hard to tell them, 'Do not give up’ … [But] those girls in Afghanistan should dream, because those dreams [are] going to scare the Taliban," Yousufi said. "They should not give up on their dreams, because that's what the Taliban wants.” Ciaran O'Mahony is a freelance reporter based in the United Arab Emirates.

Biotech company Colossal, which brought dire wolves back to life, acquires Viagen
|
This business acquisition appears to be a genetic match: Colossal Biosciences, the company that brought back the dire wolves, has acquired Viagen Pets and Equine, which has cloned dogs for Paris Hilton and Barbra Streisand. Colossal gained attention in 2021 with its announced plans to bring back the woolly mammoth and subsequent projects such as the “de-extinction” of the dodo and Tasmanian tiger. But the Dallas-headquartered company also aims to use its genetics toolkit in conservation efforts to preserve endangered species such as the red wolf. Viagen’s cloning prowess could help. Founded in 2002, the Austin, Texas-based Viagen has successfully cloned 15 species, including endangered ones such as the black-footed ferret and Przewalski’s horse. The company also has a huge bank of genetic material from more than 40 unique species, including 22 threatened or endangered species such as the white rhino, black rhino and Perdido Key beach mouse. Fall colors: Where is fall foliage popping up in late October, early November? See maps, forecast. Viagen’s expertise in cryopreservation – reviving frozen genetic material for cloning – is vital to protecting and expanding endangered species, said Matt James, Colossal’s chief animal officer, in a news release announcing the acquisition. “Viagen’s proprietary technology will fuel Colossal’s de-extinction efforts and allow us to restore more endangered species populations as well as preserve their genetic diversity in Colossal’s Bio Vaults,” he said. The acquisition is the first for Colossal, which has also launched two additional companies: Breaking, which researches how to break down plastics, and Form Bio, a gene therapy development company. “No other company comes close to what Viagen has achieved,” said Colossal CEO and co-founder Ben Lamm. “Their unmatched expertise and cloning technology stack have become the world’s standard and their application of these critical and proprietary technologies to endangered species conservation makes them an invaluable partner in advancing our global de-extinction and species preservation mission.” In 2020, Viagen achieved the first successful cloning of a U.S. endangered species with the birth of the black-footed ferret, Elizabeth Ann, in a collaborative project with the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and conservation group Revive and Restore. Also that year, the groups worked together to clone the first of two Przewalski’s horses for the San Diego Zoo Safari Park using DNA cryopreserved 42 years ago. The endangered horses, originally found in Mongolia, are considered the last species of “truly wild horses” and are “distant cousins” of modern-day domestic horses, according to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. More: Company creates 'woolly mouse' in quest to bring back mammoths. Turns out, it's really cute. Remember Dolly the sheep, a clone born in 1996? Viagen has gained “exclusive licensing and access to” the cloning technologies developed by the Roslin Institute of Edinburgh, Scotland, which created Dolly, according to Colossal’s new release. “Joining forces with Colossal – the only de-extinction company and leader in biotechnology – gives Viagen the scale, resources, and shared vision to expand what we can do,” said Viagen President Blake Russell in a statement. He will continue to lead the company. “Together, we can accelerate breakthroughs in genetic preservation, animal health, and endangered species recovery through biobanking and cloning at a scale that simply wasn’t possible on our own.” The business deal also got the approval of several celebrity investors, including Paris Hilton, who had Viagen create a pair of clone pups from her dog Diamond Baby, which went missing in 2022. “Colossal’s acquisition of Viagen is just another exciting step in their path to bringing back earth’s biodiversity in volume,” Hilton said in a statement. More: Montana man to be sentenced for creating and cloning giant hybrid sheep Seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady, who’s now a broadcaster for Fox and minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, said Colossal and Viagen helped create a clone of the family’s elderly dog “before she passed,” he said in a statement. “In a few short months, Colossal gave my family a second chance with a clone of our beloved dog,” said Brady, who is an investor in Colossal. “I am excited how Colossal and Viagen’s tech together can help both families losing their beloved pets while helping to save endangered species.” Filmmaker Peter Jackson, who directed and produced movies such as The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films and “The Beatles: Get Back,” who is also an investor in Colossal, said in a statement, “I am excited about how the combined approaches to animal welfare, biobanking, and cloning can be used not only with beloved pets but for more challenging endangered species. These two companies together give humanity a real shot at saving the planet’s biodiversity.” Mike Snider is a national trending news reporter for USA TODAY.

Why Tesla's new competitor is a huge problem for investors
|
Once the undisputed leader of the global electric vehicle (EV) market, Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) has seen its market share shrink sharply amid intensifying competition, especially from Chinese automakers. In the first half of 2025, BYD dominated the global EV market with a 19.9% share. On the other hand, Tesla's share dropped 4.2 percentage points year over year to 7.5%. However, Tesla is now facing significant competition from an unexpected rival. Meet Chinese smartphone and smart home giant Xiaomi (OTC: XIACF), which has branched out to electric vehicles. With an aggressive pricing strategy, higher claimed range and deeply integrated human-vehicle-home ecosystem, Xiaomi is giving Tesla a tough fight. Xiaomi launched its SU7 sedan in China in October 2024. However, in December 2024, SU7 sold 25,815 units in China, outpacing Tesla's Model 3 sales of 21,046 units. Riding on that momentum, Xiaomi launched the YU7 in mid-2025, and it directly competes with Tesla's Model Y sport utility vehicle. The YU7 launch has been exceptionally successful, with nearly 240,000 firm orders secured in just 18 hours. Xiaomi has priced the YU7's base model at 253,500 yuan ($35,364), almost 10,000 yuan lower than Model Y's starting price in China. The company has also claimed an 835 km range (the total distance EV can travel on a full charge before the battery runs out) in the China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC) for the YU7 standard vehicle, higher than 719km claimed by Tesla in the CLTC cycle for its redesigned Model Y vehicle. A higher claimed range is an effective marketing tool for EVs, since range anxiety is one of the most significant psychological barriers to EV adoption. Xiaomi is now well-positioned to capitalize on the 731 million monthly active users in its human-vehicle-home ecosystem. Since this brand name is already well-established in China's wearables, smartphone and smart home markets, many customers may choose to extend their trust to its vehicles for the same ecosystem benefits. China already has an extensive EV charging infrastructure, with 16.7 million charging points at the end of July 2025. Here, consumers are giving higher priority to range convenience and pricing over Tesla's global charging infrastructure and autonomous driving innovations. Xiaomi delivered 81,302 new EVs in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 (ended June 30) and over 30,000 vehicles in July. The company had completed cumulative deliveries of over 300,000 units by the end of July 2025. The company's human-vehicle-home ecosystem is helping create a sticky customer base. When multiple devices such as smartphones, smart home appliances and wearables work together seamlessly within an ecosystem, customers are less likely to switch to the competition. Xiaomi also delivered strong financials in the recent quarter. In the second quarter, revenue rose 30.5% year over year to 116 billion yuan ($16.11 billion ), while net profit surged by 75% to 10.8 billion yuan ($1.5 billion). The company is using these funds to accelerate research and development (R&D) investments. In the second quarter, R&D spending was up 41% year over year to 7.8 billion yuan. The company is also investing heavily in AI initiatives, and has developed a 3-nanometer chip, XRING O1 and an open-source large language model, Xiaomi MiMo-VL/7B. All this implies that the company has significant financial flexibility and technical capability to further improve its EV offerings. Tesla continues to post substantial global delivery numbers. In the third quarter, the company delivered 497,099 vehicles, up 7% on a year-over-year basis and above the consensus estimate of 443,919 vehicles. However, the company produced 447,450 vehicles, down 5%. Many analysts view this gap between deliveries and production as a sign of pulled-forward demand, with sales shifting from the fourth quarter to the third quarter due to the anticipation of the $7,500 federal tax credit expiring on Sept. 30. Hence, there remains a risk that sales will normalize or even drop in the subsequent quarters. Tesla saw global revenue jump 12% year over year to $28.09 billion in the third quarter. However, operating margin dropped by 501 basis points year over year to 5.8%, reflecting the impact of the company's strategy of repeatedly reducing vehicle prices to boost sales volumes. To offset the effect of price cuts on profitability, the company has trimmed some features and offers lower battery size, less powerful motors and fewer premium features. While these changes can help reduce costs, they also negatively affect the brand's premium image. Tesla's situation seems even more challenging in China. The company's share of the Chinese EV market has dropped from 16% in 2020 to 4.4% in August due to intense competition from local EV players. Tesla's energy storage business has been showing strong traction. In the third quarter, the company demonstrated record deployments and impressive margins for its energy storage business. The company is also aggressively focusing on artificial intelligence (AI)- powered autonomy business. Tesla is already operating its robotaxis in Austin, Texas and in most Bay Area cities. Tesla also expects to start operating Robotaxis in eight to 10 metro areas across Nevada, Florida and Arizona by the end of 2025. Since launch, Tesla has expanded its coverage area in Austin by 3 times and has covered over 0.25 million miles without a person in the driver's seat. With increasing confidence in the vehicle's safety features, the company now expects the regulatory requirement for safety drivers to be removed in large parts of Austin by the end of 2025. The company has also covered nearly 1 million miles in the Bay Area, although regulations require a safety driver. Despite Tesla's focus on AI and autonomy, Xiaomi may continue to be the winner in China. In this largest EV market, customers are currently prioritizing pricing, perceived performance and ecosystem benefits over long-term benefits from autonomy. Tesla is also facing negative cost pressures from tariffs, competitive pricing and AI-related capex. Hence, unless energy storage and autonomy translate into high-growth and high-margin businesses, competition from Xiaomi and other Chinese EV players could continue to pressure Tesla's market share and earnings momentum over the coming quarters.

Ancestral eating practices
|
In the refrain of her song, “Woodstock,” Joni Mitchell urged us to get ourselves back to the garden, a metaphor for a retreat from modern life and a return to spiritual connection with the land. For some of the Pueblo people of New Mexico, this has meant returning to ancestral eating practices, for cultural and spiritual connection and to improve health outcomes. “Native Americans are in the highest percentage of health risks for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and high blood pressure than any race due to poor food quality, depression, and poverty (which is) mostly a result of colonization,” says Roxanne Swentzell, a renowned Santa Clara Pueblo Tewa artist, sculptor and founder of the Flowering Tree Permaculture Institute in Española, New Mexico.To help bring awareness of these statistics, Swentzell’s nonprofit sponsored a study, now known as The Pueblo Food Experience, which began in 2013. “It was a response to our tribal health issues,” Swentzell says. “Reconnecting to our cultural heritage was a way for us to heal ourselves.” In this real-life experiment, Swentzell and 13 others from pueblos across northern New Mexico eliminated all colonization foods such as sugar, alcohol, wheat, beef and chicken for a trial period of three months and committed to eating traditional foods such as prickly pear eggs, marrowbone butter, rabbit stew and roasted pinon nuts.The idea was to go back to the basic foods that their ancestors ate. “The study showed that we do very well when we eat traditional foods from the past,” Swentzell says. Volunteers in the self-reported study experienced lower blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and improvement in autoimmune function, and chronic conditions such as Lupus, joint pain and heart health.All of the participants lost weight, many felt increased energy and one volunteer even experienced a reversal of menopause. “We all also spoke about the spiritual component of the diet and how much clarity we had,” Swentzell says. “It was switching to ancestral ways of eating that did this.”“I lost 50 pounds in three weeks, and I ate well daily,” says volunteer Marian Naranjo, the founder and director of Honor Our Pueblo Existence (HOPE), a community-based organization located at Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico, which is a federally recognized Native American Nation. “It did require more preparation. If we didn’t grow it, we had to buy it from special stores, and it could be expensive. It required thinking differently.”It also required dependency on like-minded participants. “A group of us shared a meal once a week and encouraged one another. Daily support was essential,” Naranjo says.The experiment led to “The Pueblo Food Experience Cookbook: Whole Food of Our Ancestors,” co-authored by Swentzell and Patricia M. Perea. It includesmore than 60 traditional Puebloan recipes such as buffalo tamales, blue corn cakes and jackrabbit stew, based on traditional Puebloan cuisine. Also included are essays that focus on Pueblo history, culture, the impact of colonization on the diet and the healing powers of food.The experiment and the cookbook align with Swentzell’s work with her nonprofit where she preserves heritage crops like the “three sisters” which are corn, beans and squash. Eating this way also helped the Puebloans reconnect with traditional knowledge and practices and reembrace the spiritual and cultural significance of these foods. “We found ourselves thinking about how our ancestors found, prepared and ate,” Swentzell says. “This made us feel close to them. Ancestral foods are place-based foods, so they help you connect to your environment in a way other foods cannot.”The study has an impact outside of Swentzell’s pueblo. “It’s amazing that when you take out the refined foods that are not in your own ancestral DNA, you get healthier and you lose weight,” says Lois Ellen Frank a Native foods historian, author of “Seed to Plate, Soil to Sky: Modern Plant-Based Recipes using Native American Ingredients,” and the chef/owner of Red Mesa Cuisine in Sante Fe, New Mexico.Other communities are adopting ancestral ways of eating. “Several years after the experiment, we started hearing about efforts to eat original foods from tribes around the country,” Swentzell says. “There seemed to be a movement happening and it’s hard not to believe that we had a hand in that.”Frank’s frequent collaborator and co-teacher about indigenous foodways sums up the impact of The Pueblo Food Experience perfectly. “Food is medicine,” says Diné (Navajo) chef Walter Whitewater. “When we go to a farm-acy instead of a pharmacy, we get everything we need for health and wellness.”

NFL trade deadline grades: Team marks for every deal completed before cutoff
|
Sorting through the fallout from the NFL trade deadline in real time can be as complicated as orchestrating the deals themselves. The annual cutoff for swaps arrives 4 p.m. ET Nov. 4, and an event that's taken on added significance in recent years could once again prove plenty meaningful for contenders and rebuilding teams alike. So far, the action leading up to the deadline itself has been relatively muted. But that could change in the final stretch as teams mull whether to sell off – or buy – major contributors ahead of the stretch run. With that said, here are our initial grades from all the deals completed during the week of the NFL trade deadline: After trading Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, Jones made it known that he had inquired with the Jets about Williams in a possible deal that would have included both the star edge rusher and defensive tackle. Turns out he just needed to circle back. The Williams deal will no doubt be evaluated in tandem with the Parsons swap. Regardless of whether Dallas is actually better off this way, it's clear that this was Jones' preferred route. He lands one of the league's best defensive tackles in Williams, who meets the owner's marks as both an elite run stuffer and pass rusher, while putting him alongside another stout interior figure in Kenny Clark. (There's the little matter of how to deploy the two along with Osa Odighizuwa, but Jones, coach Brian Schottenheimer and defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus will sort that out later.) There's also much better financial flexibility here, with Williams signed through 2027 on a deal that has him as just the seventh-highest-paid defensive tackle. The question here is the draft capital. The Cowboys are set to send the higher of their two 2027 first-round picks to the Jets, according to multiple reports. If that ends up as a top-10 or top-15 pick, it'll be hard to swallow. But Dallas still has two first-rounders this year thanks to the Parsons deal, and it could be well-positioned to land a needed edge rusher to help the defensive front get its full reset. There might be too much work to be done on the 31st-ranked scoring defense for Williams' arrival to save a 3-5-1 campaign. But the move changes the complexion of a unit short on any hope of a turnaround, and the future is bright. So much of Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey's beginning with the Jets seemed to entail the new regime fighting against the current of the roster's existing setup. Tuesday marked an abrupt shift, with the organization essentially conceding that it was going to take a much longer view in getting Gang Green to a point of competitiveness. In a trade deadline that seemed to lack buzz due to a shortage of sellers, the Jets changed everything by essentially declaring everything – or at least their most valuable assets, including cornerback Sauce Gardner – must go. And at 1-7 with myriad problems, Gang Green had every reason to confront the full scope of its problems. Williams had relatively modest production this season. His 10% pass-rush win rate ranks just 17th among defensive tackles, according to ESPN, while he's notched just one sack. But it's impossible to separate his play from the lack of support around him, with teams able to frequently double-team him and cater their game plans toward neutralizing him. What matters now for New York, however, is that the team owns five first-round draft picks in the span of the next two years. There's essentially a blank slate in Florham Park, and Jets brass will have immense resources in shaping their future to their liking. This move might not have the same degree of necessity and urgency as others completed today. But it's unquestionably fun. The Seahawks have bombarded opponents with their deep passing game, with Sam Darnold leading the pack with 9.6 average intended air yards per attempt, according to Next Gen Stats. Between having the NFL's leading receiver in Jaxon Smith-Njigba and several other solid targes, Darnold wasn't hurting for weapons. But there's little question that Shaheed can do immense damage in Klint Kubiak's system with his downfield speed. Expect his 11.3 yards per catch this season to tick way, way up - perhaps closer or even past the 17.5 he posted in 2024. Giving up fourth- and fifth-round picks might seem like a little bit much, but a player who can fly like this is worth the flier. The Saints have long resisted a full-scale rebuild. But with the team sinking to 1-8, it was high time to sell off some pieces that didn't figure into the long term for Kellen Moore and Co. With Chris Olave trending toward an extension candidate, New Orleans is able to avoid a complete reconfiguration of its receiving corps as it tries to get a half-season look at second-round quarterback Tyler Shough. But Shaheed's ability to stretch the field made him a popular option for contenders, so selling him to the highest bidder was good business. Where did this version of Chris Ballard come from? Getting uncharacteristically bold has served the Colts general manager extremely well in the past few months, as his more aggressive moves helped set the table for Indianapolis' resurgence. This, however, is the kind of move that Ballard might have laughed off as pure fantasy or speculation in previous years. Now, it's his reality. There's strong incentive for Indianapolis to try to fully capitalize on what it has this season. And at 25, Gardner can be an asset for years to come. But this was an exorbitant price to pay for a player already due a massive sum. If Gardner had lived up to his first two seasons in which he quickly established himself as one of the league's premier cover men, there would be no pushback. But he's surrendered a 118.8 passer rating when targeted this season, according to Next Gen Stats. Indianapolis is clearly buying that any issues are the product of the Jets' wider defensive shortcomings. That might be at least partially true, but it's a substantial gamble to make. Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo has done impressive work to revitalize what had been a static unit, and getting more reliable coverage on the back end could make Indianapolis a much more legitimate threat in the AFC. Yet cornerback play is inherently volatile, which typically means heavy investments there can quickly prove regrettable. If this leads to a deep playoff run, Ballard will be celebrated. But if he doesn't, he'll be hearing for quite a while that he got lost in the Sauce. Moving on from Gardner less than six months after making him the league's highest-paid cornerback seems like an almost unfathomable outcome for the Jets, even amid what's shaping up to be an expansive rebuild. But with this return, there's little question that it was the right decision. The Jets' problems are far bigger than any one player, and there's no ending the league's longest playoff drought without substantial upheaval. The new regime clearly thought Gardner would be a cornerstone, but maybe something changed along the way in the first half of the season. Regardless, the list of players who are worth at least two first-round picks is extremely short, and it's hard to say that Gardner belongs on it given the nature of his position and how he's fared as of late. Amid plenty of unrest with a 1-7 start, Gang Green now truly can preach patience. The Jets can target their quarterback of the future early this year while still using a premium pick elsewhere to boost the roster. And New York will also be able to allot much of the money and cap space that was set to go to Gardner in the coming years elsewhere. Getting Mitchell, a talented wideout who needed a change of scenery after his regrettable goal-line fumble earlier this season, is icing on the cake. James Gladstone is at it gain. The Jaguars' hyperaggressive general manager took another page from the Los Angeles Rams' playbook and pursued a veteran at a key spot at the trade deadline. The splash factor doesn't measure up to what Les Snead has delivered in previous years, but it still aids Jacksonville's surprise resurgence in the AFC South. For all of the progress the Jaguars have made in Liam Coen's inaugural season at the helm, the passing attack still hasn't clicked. Jacksonville ranks just 25th in expected points added per pass play at -0.11, according to Next Gen Stats. That's primarily a Lawrence problem, but it's also clear he hasn't gotten the support everyone expected from Brian Thomas Jr. in the receiver's wildly disappointing second pro season. Meanwhile, Travis Hunter has yet to fully take off on either side of the ball and is now on injured reserve. When the Raiders refused to grant Meyers his preseason trade request, it served as the franchise's latest commitment to competing in the near term. That plan has obviously gone awry in a 2-6 campaign in which Las Vegas remains a distant fourth in the AFC West. Now, however, the Silver and Black confront a harsh reality: This season is beyond saving. Getting a fourth- and sixth-rounder for Meyers, who didn't figure to be back in 2026, is a nice return for a team with abundant needs. With a massive war chest of cap space for 2026 – currently projected to be more than $100 million, per Over The Cap – the Raiders also couldn't expect to capitalize off Meyers' likely departure in free agency with a compensatory pick. For the short term, this remains the Brock Bowers show, with the All-Pro tight end sure to vacuum up plenty of targets from Geno Smith. There's a chance for Las Vegas to bring along Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Jack Bech, but both rookies are off to slow starts and could face competition from veteran Tyler Lockett, who signed with the team last week. It's not quite the equivalent of a defensive version of the Jonathan Mingo trade, but this seems like an awfully big kerfuffle for a so-so return. Yes, Jones gets a proven entity and team captain who just a year ago was a formidable presence against the run. A hard-nosed and savvy approach on that front no doubt endeared Wilson to Jones, especially amid the defense continuing to be gashed in the ground game. But it was clear before his benching that the 29-year-old had fallen off, whether it was getting to plays a step later or whiffing on tackles more often once he was in position to do something. Most of all, it's difficult to see how this move does much to transform a unit that has so far to go before it can offer up any kind of consistent resistance under coordinator Matt Eberflus. The post-Micah Parsons pass rush isn't where it should be, and Wilson's blitzing skills won't significantly shift the outlook there. The coverage problems extend far beyond one player, and that's far from Wilson's strong suit. Maybe the veteran adds a degree of stability to a unit that's been far too shaky while leaning on Kenneth Murray. But the eventual return of DeMarvion Overshown seems like the change that's actually going to make a difference here. Can't fault Cincinnati for trying something different amid its defense's historically woeful run. At the same time, though, it's hard to square exactly what this does for the Bengals in both the short and long term. One thing is clear: It's now up to Barrett Carter, who bumped Wilson from his starting role, and fellow rookie Demetrius Knight Jr. to lead the second level of this unit given that there's no support coming from anywhere else. “I see a very high ceiling in Barrett,” Bengals coach Zac Taylor said last month. “I see qualities in him I wanted to see more of. The only way to do that is expand the role.” It's one thing to clear a path to playing time for the fourth-round pick. But Wilson was still the most reliable presence for a linebacker group that has been badly out of sorts, with the Chicago Bears' 283-yard rushing effort against the Bengals on Sunday marking a new low. Taylor had previously said that Wilson handled his demotion "really well” and had "done a great job with the young linebackers." What, then, is the upside to a split that netted a seventh-round draft pick? Unless the Bengals are also preparing to deal Trey Hendrickson and look ahead to 2026, not much is truly gained here. A third-round pick in 2020, Wilson helped fuel the Bengals' emergence alongside his more heralded offensive teammates. As Cincinnati tries to build up on defense, it'll need to find more mid-round his like him in the near future. The seventh-year veteran probably doesn't move the needle much for a team that looks poised for a potential second-half rally. Still, even if Jones becomes a serviceable part of Baltimore's pass-rushing rotation, this move might be well worth it. The 6-foot-3, 281-pounder can be an inside-outside threat for a defensive front that's clearly smarting from Nnamdi Madubuike's season-ending neck injury. If Baltimore truly wanted to transform a pass rush that has bagged just 11 sacks in eight games, it might need to take an additional step before Tuesday's cutoff. But adding depth and flexibility was a smart move. The fire sale is on in Nashville, and it was wise for Titans brass to make Jones their latest veteran flip after also dealing cornerback Roger McCreary to the Rams. Tennessee was able to sell somewhat high on Jones after he posed 1 1/2 sacks and eight pressures against the injury-ravaged Los Angeles Chargers. Given the veteran pass rusher's ceiling, a fifth-round pick was a fine return. The compensation pick math is squarely working against Tennessee for 2027, so recouping value here was the right choice. Howie Roseman wasn't going to toil in the bargain bin of trade deadline action for long. After bringing aboard cornerbacks Jaire Alexander and Michael Carter II last week, the architect of the Eagles once again got bold with what could be one of the most sizable moves before Tuesday's cutoff. Phillips is plenty talented and legitimately changes the outlook of an edge-rushing group that still sorely misses the injured Nolan Smith – as well as the departed Josh Sweat. Philadelphia will add more juice to a defense that has yet to reach anything close to last season's championship form. The incentive here is understandable, with Philly wanting to give itself every edge – wordplay not intended – to repeat. But the price is steep for getting either a half-year rental or a jump on a player set to hit the open market anyway. Fangio surely was drawn to a player whom he helped reach 6 1/2 sacks in eight games in 2023, when the defensive coordinator held the same position for the Dolphins. But Phillips isn't the same player that Fangio last coached given that each of his last two seasons has ended with a significant injury (torn Achilles and torn anterior cruciate ligament). There's also some potential to mitigate the cost here by playing the comp pick game as adeptly as Roseman tends to do, but there aren't many sure things about this swap. Phillips might reconfigure the Eagles' pass rush, but he seems unlikely to revolutionize it. But with no Myles Garrett, Maxx Crosby or (potentially) Trey Hendrickson within reach, this was likely the Eagles' best option before February. The calculus here isn't nearly as complicated for Miami. A non-contender that's in the process of bottoming out clearly needed to take advantage of a sellers' market. The only question was whether the Dolphins would actually pull the trigger on moving one of its most valuable assets. For a long stretch, it appeared as though the answer was no, given how the franchise's embattled leadership appeared intent on clawing back to some semblance of relevance this season. But things shifted significantly with Friday's parting with general manager Chris Grier. The timing seemed to suggest an interest in changing approach before the trade deadline and capitalizing on a potential sell-off. Re-signing or franchising Phillips didn't seem to make much sense for an organization that could be facing an extended timeline before it's competitive again, so facing reality and selling him off to the highest bidder was the best option for getting a rebuild going. A third-round pick was likely the ceiling for a gifted player who has an injury history and is on an expiring contract.

Dick Cheney called hunting accident 'one of the worst' days of his life
|
WASHINGTON – Dick Cheney was an unapologetic hawk in military affairs as defense secretary and vice president, but his shooting an acquaintance in a hunting accident became a source of ridicule. Cheney, who died Nov. 3 at 84, was hunting quail in South Texas in February 2006 when he accidentally shot fellow hunter Harry Whittington in the face, neck and torso with bird shot from a .28-gauge shotgun. Whittington had been retrieving a downed bird when another covey took flight and Cheney fired. Cheney told Fox News that the accident was "one of the worst days of my life" and accepted full blame for the accident. He also defended the delay in disclosing the event until the next day. Then-President George W. Bush said Cheney handled the incident "just fine." But then-Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said the White House needed to be less secretive. Whittington, a prominent Austin lawyer who was 78 at the time of the hunting accident, said the wounds he suffered did not slow him down but that some of the pellets remained embedded in him. He also suffered a minor heart attack while recovering. "I’m able to navigate and get around. I still have a lot of 'quiet pellets,' but some of them had to be lifted and removed," said Whittington, who died in 2023 at 95. In a 2018 interview with the USA TODAY Network that coincided with the release of the Cheney biopic, "Vice," Whittington said he remained in touch with the former vice president and harbored no ill will. "He and I went to dinner," said Whittington, who called the movie's account of the shooting inaccurate and misleading. "We’re just acquaintances." The Caller-Times newspaper in Corpus Christi, now a member of the USA TODAY Network, broke the news about the accident after being notified by Katharine Armstrong, a member of the family that owned the hunting ranch. Cheney later told Fox News that notifying the local news outlet was "just as valid" as The New York Times.

Who is Jonathan Bailey, People's sexiest man alive for 2025?
|
PEOPLE magazine announced the 2025 Sexiest Man Alive on Monday, with charismatic actor Jonathan Bailey earning the title. Bailey is the latest in a long line of wildly handsome men to get the title, following John Krasinski in 2024 and Patrick Dempsey in 2023. So who is the dapper Jonathan Bailey? Bailey, who is the first openly gay man to be named Sexiest Man Alive, has been acting his entire life but really broke onto the scene with Bridgerton in 2020. The 37-year-old from England plays Lord Anthony Bridgerton, and his turn as the lead in the second season of the steamy period piece made him a household name. He has since landed enormous roles in Hollywood, joining the Jurassic Park franchise with this summer's Jurassic World: Rebirth and starring as Fiyero in Wicked and Wicked: For Good. Bailey seems to be one of the very rare celebrities that are universally loved. He is a fantastic actor with endless charm, and he can break the internet just by wearing a pair of little glasses. "It’s a huge honor. Obviously I’m incredibly flattered. And it’s completely absurd. [Laughs] It’s been a secret, so I’m quite excited for some friends and family to find out," Bailey told PEOPLE. We're all quite excited, too, Jonathan.

Dick Cheney's daughter Liz Cheney followed in his footsteps. Who is she?
|
Former Vice President Dick Cheney died Monday night, Nov. 3, his family confirmed in a statement. After his two terms as vice president ended in 2009, Cheney, along with his daughter, Liz Cheney, became one of the most prominent Republicans to oppose now-President Donald Trump. Liz Cheney, a former Wyoming congresswoman, was ostracized by the GOP for her defiance of Trump and her role in the investigation of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Cheney was one of 10 Republicans in the House to vote for Trump's impeachment over his alleged incitement of the riot, and she remained firm in her belief that Trump's rhetoric led to the violence. Cheney was ousted as chair of the House Republican Conference – the third-highest-ranking House Republican – over her criticism of Trump following his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Dick Cheney: Former vice president's cause of death confirmed by family In a 2024 interview with NBC host Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press" on the heels of her high-profile endorsement of Kamala Harris, Cheney said she regrets her previous support for Trump in the 2016 presidential election and several years afterwards, while she served in Congress. "Congresswoman, do you regret standing by him at the time and for all of those years after?" Welker said. "Yes, I do," Cheney responded. "For, certainly, people after what he did on January 6, to act as though you can have confidence in him, you know that simply is just not credible," she continued. "The other thing I think people have to realize is what he did on January 6, you know, watching that brutal attack, that's depravity. And it's also just fundamentally cruel."

Logan Wilson trade grades: Who won deadline deal between Cowboys, Bengals?
|
Jerry Jones sure knows how to entertain at the NFL trade deadline. The Dallas Cowboys owner initially turned heads Monday with his claim that he had completed a deal that he would not reveal until Tuesday. Then, after a 27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on "Monday Night Football," he cast some doubt on whether the swap would actually materialize. Early on Tuesday, however, the Cowboys finally agreed to terms to acquire linebacker Logan Wilson from the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for a seventh-round draft pick. The exchange represented two embattled defenses moving in opposite directions. For the Bengals, the move represented a full embrace of the youth movement at the position. For the Cowboys and Jones, it might be a last gasp at bolstering a thoroughly maligned unit. Here's how each team graded out in the trade: It's not quite the equivalent of a defensive version of the Jonathan Mingo trade, but this seems like an awfully big kerfuffle for a so-so return. Yes, Jones gets a proven entity and team captain who just a year ago was a formidable presence against the run. A hard-nosed and savvy approach on that front no doubt endeared Wilson to Jones, especially amid the defense continuing to be gashed in the ground game. But it was clear before his benching that the 29-year-old had fallen off, whether it was getting to plays a step later or whiffing on tackles more often once he was in position to do something. Most of all, it's difficult to see how this move does much to transform a unit that has so far to go before it can offer up any kind of consistent resistance under coordinator Matt Eberflus. The post-Micah Parsons pass rush isn't where it should be, and Wilson's blitzing skills won't significantly shift the outlook there. The coverage problems extend well beyond one player, and that's far from Wilson's strong suit at this point in his career. Maybe the veteran adds a degree of stability to a unit that's been far too shaky while leaning on Kenneth Murray. But the eventual return of DeMarvion Overshown seems like the change that's actually going to make a difference here. When he first teased a move Monday, Jones said he could also complete a couple more. If Dallas truly intends on competing at 3-5-1, he'll probably need to figure out a way to get those done. Then again, this defense is probably beyond saving at midseason. Can't fault Cincinnati for trying something different amid its defense's historically woeful run. At the same time, though, it's hard to square exactly what this does for the Bengals in both the short and long term. One thing is clear: It's now up to Barrett Carter, who bumped Wilson from his starting role, and fellow rookie Demetrius Knight Jr. to lead the second level of this unit given that there's no support coming from anywhere else. “I see a very high ceiling in Barrett,” Bengals coach Zac Taylor said last month. “I see qualities in him I wanted to see more of. The only way to do that is expand the role.” It's one thing to clear a path to playing time for the fourth-round pick. But Wilson was still the most reliable presence for a linebacker group that has been badly out of sorts, with the Chicago Bears' 283-yard rushing effort against the Bengals on Sunday marking a new low. Taylor had previously said that Wilson handled his demotion "really well” and had "done a great job with the young linebackers." What, then, is the upside to a split that netted a seventh-round draft pick? Unless the Bengals are also preparing to deal Trey Hendrickson and look ahead to 2026, not much is truly gained here. A third-round pick in 2020, Wilson helped fuel the Bengals' emergence alongside his more heralded offensive teammates. As Cincinnati tries to build up on defense, it'll need to find more mid-round his like him in the near future.

Texans NFL trade deadline: Tracking all the news and rumors
|
The NFL trade deadline is just hours away, and eyes are on the Houston Texans and their decision to either buy or sell while being out of the playoff picture. Despite sitting at 3-5, Houston has two winnable games ahead against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans. With victories that would put them at 5-5 entering a pair of must-win matchups against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football and the Indianapolis Colts to close out November. The Texans have been in every game, but the lack of offensive success has led to four late debacles, all ending with a fourth-quarter comeback by the opposing team. There's a definite need at tight end and offensive line, but are there players worth targeting on the open market for the asking price teams covet? There are also a couple of players on the roster who don't seem to have a role and could be dealt out of Houston at the deadline. Below, we’ll track the latest news and rumors around the Texans at the trade deadline: The Jets are imploding and for some reason, the Dallas Cowboys are in the mindset that a move to land Quinnen Williams will help them figure out their defensive woes after losing on Monday night. The Cowboys have given up a 2026 second-round pick, a 2027 first-round pick and defensive tackle and former first-round pick Mazi Smith to the Jets to complete the trade for the three-time All-Pro defensive lineman, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Earlier on the trade deadline, the Cowboys acquired Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson from the Cincinnati Bengals for a 2026 seventh-round pick. A former top-three pick in 2019 out of Alabama, Williams, 28, was selected to the Pro Bowl for the 2021-23 season. This season, Williams has been credited with 32 tackles, a sack, three forced fumbles and three quarterback hurries. For his career, he's totaled 40 sacks. Rashid Shaheed is leaving New Orleans and headed to the Emerald City, joining Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Seattle is sending 2026 fourth- and fifth-round picks to New Orleans, which is looking to rebuild behind first-year coach Kellen Moore. Shaheed, 27, was previously coached by Seahawks offensive coordinator Kilnt Kuibak in 2024. This season, he's totaled 44 receptions for 499 yards and two touchdowns in nine games. The addition of the speedy Shaheed gives the Seahawks some needed reinforcement at receiver behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and rookie Tory Horton, as Cooper Kupp has been dealing with an injury that has sidelined him for weeks. For his career, Shaheed has 138 career catches for 2,055 receiving yards, 12 receiving touchdowns, one rushing touchdown and two punt returns for a touchdown. Sauce Gardner will now battle with Derek Stingley Jr. for the title of top cornerbakc in the AFC South. The Indianapolis Colts are trading two first-round picks to the New York Jets in exchange for the All-Pro defensive back. He'll be in the division for the next four seasons after inking an extension this offseason with the Jets worth $120.4 million. Former Texas wideout Adonai Mitchell also will head to New York as part of the deal, thus keeping him under contract through 2027. The 2025 season has gone poorly for the Jets under first-year coach Aaron Glenn. The team sits at 1-7, while Gardner missed Week 8 with a concussion. New York is looking to fully rebuild, so trading away all assets seems to be the smart plan for Gang Green. Gardner, who was selected one pick after Stingley in the 2022 draft, was the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2022. Since 1970, he's the only cornerback to be named first-team All-Pro in each of his first two seasons. The Jacksonville Jaguars are swinging for the AFC South division title by adding another weapon for Trevor Lawrence and the passing game. Jacksonville is sending the Las Vegas Raiders its fourth- and sixth-round selections in the 2026 NFL draft in exchange for wideout Jakobi Meyers. Meyers had been rumored to be on the block since the start of the regular season, but with Pete Carroll running the show, the hope was that the team would turn around before things got out of control. Sitting at 2-6, that's not the case in Sin City, thus leading to his departure in Duval County. Last week, when playing the Jaguars, he caught four passes for 23 yards. The NFL's trade deadline is 3 p.m. CT (4 p.m. ET) on Tuesday, Nov. 4. Houston currently holds eight selections, including two from the Washington Commanders and New York Giants as part of offseason trades for Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil and the No. 25 overall pick.

Mamdani, Cuomo make closing pitches in NYC mayoral race. Live updates.
|
NEW YORK − Will the kid from Kampala ride a youth wave to City Hall? Can a dour former governor find redemption at the ballot box? And what's up with that guy in the beret? New Yorkers are swarming the polls in record numbers to choose between a historic first, a seismic comeback or a vigilante spoiler for mayor. Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist in the state Assembly, would be the first Muslim mayor and first Asian American mayor of the nation's largest city. His nearest competitor is former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a centrist Democrat running as an independent. Republican Curtis Sliwa, who founded the anti-crime group the Guardian Angels, is a distant third in the polls. In the Nov. 4 general election, voters will replace outgoing Mayor Eric Adams, whose embattled one term has been hampered by scandals that quashed his hopes of winning reelection. Here's the latest: New York’s former mayors are as divided about the race to lead city hall as they are about which baseball team to back. Here's where the living former mayors and the current hizzoner stand on the election and baseball. None of the living former mayors or mayoral hopefuls’ teams made it to this year's World Series. The Los Angeles Dodgers, who originated in Brooklyn, won after midnight early Sunday morning, Nov. 2. - Eduardo Cuevas After Mamdani linked Trump to bomb threats at New Jersey polling places, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called the candidate “irresponsible.” Mamdani called the bomb threats part of voter intimidation like Trump’s baseless claims of voter fraud. “I think they are completely irresponsible and they are based on zero evidence,” Leavitt told reporters Tuesday at the White House. −Bart Jansen In arguably the buzziest mayoral race in New York history, New Yorkers have recorded the highest turnout in the city's history numbers in the general election. Final New York City Board of Elections tallies showed over 735,000 check-ins in the early voting period from Oct. 25 to Nov. 2. In 2021, the last time the city elected its mayor, more than 169,000 people cast their ballots during early voting, four times less than in 2025. Sunday, Nov. 2 − the final day for New Yorkers to cast their ballots in early voting before the Nov. 4 election − marked the highest early voting day in New York City history, elections officials announced in a Monday news release. −Eduardo Cuevas and Jay Stahl Like Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Mamdani identifies as a democratic socialist. And like Ocasio-Cortez, he belongs to the Democratic Socialists of America. Democratic socialists believe that the government and economy should be run for the benefit of the public rather than private profit. They typically favor an enhanced social safety net such as universal health insurance provided by the government and paid for with higher taxes on the rich. Unlike communism and other authoritarian systems of government, democratic socialists believe in democracy. Sanders has pointed to the social democracies in Scandinavia as models he would emulate in the United States. −Ben Adler Mamdani reshaped the New York City mayoral race by focusing on cost of living in the notoriously expensive city. Inwood resident Gisselee Rivera, 20, voted for Mamdani, citing cost of living as the top issue for her and her parents. She works in an after-school program for kids, and she thought Mamdani's proposed rent freeze would help her family. She said she noticed Mamdani talking to people and businesses across different neighborhoods on social media, and he also campaigned heavily in her neighborhood during the primary. “It gives you a different idea of how the actual neighborhood is working,” Rivera said. Bronx resident Zoila Cruz, 59, had a more pessimistic view and said she was leaning toward voting for Cuomo. Cruz had two jobs as a home attendant, but recently lost work in one job and said she struggles to keep up with rising expenses. “Every day is worse,” she said in Spanish. “The economy, the cost of living, the rent.” Cruz wasn't confident that Cuomo could improve things, but she sided with him more than the others. She thought Mamdani’s proposal for free buses was unrealistic. “Es una locura, verdad, mi amor?” Cruz said. It’s crazy, right, my love? −Eduardo Cuevas In northern Manhattan, which has the highest concentration of Dominicans in the United States, voters appeared split between Mamdani’s vision and Cuomo’s experience. The area is represented by Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat, the first Dominican in Congress, who has backed Mamdani in the general election after endorsing Cuomo in the primary. The area swung to Mamdani in the primary. “I’m going to vote for the youth and something new,” Jose Rodriguez, 72, a retiree, said in Spanish outside of the Washington Heights Academy in the Inwood neighborhood on a windy Election Day morning. His family encouraged him to vote for Mamdani. Rodriguez said he was most concerned about public safety and homelessness, and thought Mamdani could make a change as opposed to Cuomo, who he said represented the old political class. Cell phone vendor Hector Ferreira, 49, planned to cast his vote for Cuomo. Mamdani was too liberal and New York had already gone too left, Ferreira said in Spanish. Ferreira was in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic capital, during the primary and didn’t vote then. But Cuomo, he said, “has the experience that New York City needs right now to fight crime and to improve quality of life.” A year ago, Ferreira voted for President Donald Trump to fix the economy, which Ferreira blamed on former President Joe Biden. Inwood, like many working-class Latino communities, voted in record numbers for Trump. Mamdani has tried to bring back these voters to Democrats, while Cuomo has made appeals to conservatives to join his side. −Eduardo Cuevas Elon Musk, the billionaire Tesla owner who has endorsed Cuomo, wrongly suggested that because Zohran Mamdani is listed twice on the ballot, he could win twice. New York allows candidates' names to appear on multiple ballot lines to reflect various party endorsements, which is often used as a way to give support for parties or causes outside of the traditional two-party system. But New Yorkers can only vote for a single candidate, as their ballot indicates. For example, Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa appears on both the GOP ballot line and Protect Animals ballot line. Sliwa’s wife Nancy, an animal welfare advocate, reportedly voted for her husband under the Protect Animals line. Mamdani appears as the Democratic nominee and also as the candidate for the left-leaning Working Families Party. Independent candidate Cuomo is listed once, on the Fight and Deliver line. −Eduardo Cuevas Cuomo, in an Election Day morning appearance on Fox News, said he was sorry to people whose loved ones died from COVID-19 while he was governor. "I apologize for any family that lost a loved one during that time. It was on my watch, and I understand how terrible it was," Cuomo said. Cuomo has been dogged during his campaign by ongoing accusations that, when he was governor, his administration undercounted the number of nursing home residents who died from the coronavirus. New York Attorney General Letitia James issued a report in 2021 finding that the state's Department of Health published data that may have undercounted those deaths by as much as 50%, and that nursing homes put residents at increased risk by failing to comply with infection control protocols. Even with his apology, Cuomo continued to defend his record. "We followed all the federal rules. We did nothing wrong," he said. "It was horrific, but everyone did the best that they could." –Aysha Bagchi Andrew Cuomo said President Donald Trump was being realistic by telling Republican voters to support him against Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani. “President Trump is pragmatic,” Andrew Cuomo said on the conservative talk show “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday morning. “He’s telling them the reality of this situation. If you do not vote, Mamdani is going to win.” Trump has increasingly voiced support for Cuomo against Mamdani, the frontrunner in the race. Cuomo, running as an independent, previously disavowed Trump's endorsement while also trying to pull Republican voters away from GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa, who trails in third. “Even if you’re not voting for a Republican, you’re voting to save New York City,” Cuomo said. “This election is not about Democrat or Republican. It’s about saving the city.” −Eduardo Cuevas Sporting his signature red beret and a tie decorated with cats, Curtis Sliwa accompanied his wife, Nancy, on Tuesday as she cast her ballot for her husband in the New York City mayoral race. Sliwa, the Republican candidate running on the Protect Animals ballot line, said that the results of the city’s election will “be determined by the people, even if they don’t choose me” and not the “political elites.” While holding a book entitled, “Pawverbs for a Cat Lover's Heart,” Sliwa said that he has the people’s support. “Hopefully by the time the ballots are counted tonight, when all is said and done, I’ll be the next mayor of the City of New York,” he said. “And you know animals throughout the city will be partying hardy because they’ll have a friend both in Gracie Mansion and in City Hall.” –Rebecca Morin The three candidates vying for mayor gave vastly different closing arguments Tuesday while appearing on WNYC’s popular “The Brian Lehrer Show” to describe their signature policy proposal. Mamdani, who has run on a campaign to address affordability, said his key issue was universal child care, which he wants to fund via taxes on the city’s wealthiest. Gov. Kathy Hochul, who would have to ultimately approve the tax hike with state lawmakers, has supported Mamdani’s proposal. Sliwa cited his opposition to the city’s controversial housing proposals, which Cuomo and Mamdani support. Sliwa also pointed to opposition from City Council leadership, which is staunchly Democratic. “Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani are helping developers and realtors,” he said. “I’m standing with the people.” Cuomo’s signature proposal was public safety, including hiring 5,000 new police officers. “Safety is the foundation,” he said. Mayor Eric Adams, who endorsed Cuomo, recently announced funding to hire 5,000 new NYPD officers. Recent data has showed a continued decline in major crimes in the city, with the lowest October for homicides since NYPD began tracking data in 1994. −Eduardo Cuevas Outside of his polling place in Astoria, Queens, Mamdani told reporters he voted yes on New York City’s controversial ballot proposals 2 through 4, which Mayor Eric Adams' administration put forward in what proponents said is needed to address the city’s dire housing shortage. City Council leadership opposed the measures, arguing it left local officials unable to respond to local needs of neighborhoods while concentrating power in the hands of the mayor and developers. Mamdani hadn’t said whether he supported proposals until now. In the last mayoral debate on Oct. 22, his opponents and moderators ridiculed him for not having a response. “We urgently need more housing to be built across the five boroughs,” he told a New York Daily News reporter on Election Day, acknowledging councilmembers who opposed the measures based on concerns over investment in their communities. “I share the commitment to that investment. I look forward to working with them and delivering on that.” Mamdani also voted no on ballot proposal to move city elections for offices such as mayor to presidential years in order to boost turnout. −Eduardo Cuevas 'Our country has failed them.' Zohran Mamdani talks to USA TODAY about younger voters. Andrew Cuomo declined to embrace President Donald Trump's last-minute endorsement of him in the final hours before Election Day. Trump urged his supporters to cast their ballots for Cuomo in a Nov. 3 evening post on Truth Social. "Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job. He is capable of it, Mamdani is not!" Trump said. Rather than leaning into the endorsement, Cuomo highlighted that Trump previously called him a "bad Democrat." "Trump called me a bad Democrat? No I’m a good Democrat. A proud Democrat," Cuomo said in a Monday evening post on X. Cuomo added that Trump wouldn't be sending ICE or the National Guard into New York City under his watch, and painted himself as someone who could stand up to the Republican president. −Aysha Bagchi Mamdani said his economic plan aims to protect the city from President Donald Trump’s threat to provide it less federal funding. Mamdani calls for a 2% tax on people making more than $1 million per year, to raise $4 billion per year, and seeks to increase the corporate tax rate to 11.5%, to generate $5 billion. Mamdani would also freeze the rent for 2.5 million residents in a city of 8.5 million people. “It would actually allow us to start Trump-proofing our city,” Mamdani told “The Beat with Ari Melber” on MSNBC on Monday. “We have to protect the New Yorkers with the least from the attacks from the man with the most power in this country.” Trump calls Mamdani a communist and said the federal government can’t afford to throw good money after bad if he is elected. “It's going to be hard for me as the president to give a lot of money to New York,” Trump told “60 Minutes” in an interview that aired Sunday. −Bart Jansen Mamdani called Cuomo Trump’s “hand-picked” candidate in the race. Trump urged New Yorkers to vote for Cuomo, whom Mamdani already beat in the Democratic primary. Mamdani said voting for Cuomo in the heavily Democratic city would be the same as voting for Trump. “I'm saying that because Donald Trump has hand-picked his candidate. That candidate's name is Andrew Cuomo,” Mamdani told “The Beat with Ari Melber” on MSNBC on Monday. “And New Yorkers have the chance to handpick their fighter. And I believe that candidate should be me.” −Bart Jansen Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani is a 34-year-old democratic socialist and state lawmaker. He won election to the New York State Assembly in 2020 and represents the 36th district in Queens. Before joining the assembly, Mamdani worked for a year at a housing nonprofit. Mamdani was born and raised in Kampala, Uganda, until the age of 7 when his family moved to New York City. He became a naturalized citizen in 2018. He became the first South Asian man and Ugandan to join the assembly and is the third Muslim elected to the chamber. Mamdani is the son of academic Mahmood Mamdani and prominent filmmaker Mira Nair. He married 28-year-old artist Rama Duwaji in February. −Kathryn Palmer Andrew Cuomo, 67, is a former governor of New York running as an independent in the race to lead New York City. He is a lifelong Democrat and resigned as governor in 2021 due to a series of sexual harassment allegations that he has denied. He is the son of the late three-term former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, who also served as the state’s lieutenant governor and secretary of state. He has three children with former wife Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of Robert and Ethel Kennedy. The pair divorced in 2005. Before he became governor, Cuomo was a Manhattan assistant district attorney and worked in former President Bill Clinton’s administration in the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). He later served one term as New York attorney general before making his bid for governor. Cuomo won his first gubernatorial election in 2010 and again in 2014 and 2018. −Kathryn Palmer Curtis Sliwa, 71, is the Republican nominee in the race. He is the founder of the Guardian Angels, a citizen-led safety patrol group created in the 1970s to address subway crime. Sliwa has hosted various radio talk shows for decades and ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 2021, losing in a landslide to current Democratic mayor Eric Adams. He is married to animal activist and attorney Nancy Regula. −Kathryn Palmer Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist state lawmaker from Queens, has been ahead in polls following his stunning win in the June primary against Andrew Cuomo, the three-term former New York governor who has sought to revive his political career after resigning in disgrace. If elected, Mamdani would be the first Muslim and the first South Asian to lead the city, and the first immigrant mayor in 80 years. Cuomo, 67, running as an independent in the general election, has been consolidating voters against Mamdani, shrinking Mamdani’s lead headed into Election Day. A turnaround victory would be a monumental comeback for Cuomo, the son of former Gov. Mario Cuomo. But Cuomo still faces a roadblock by Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, the beret-wearing founder of the Guardian Angels vigilante group. Polls have indicated Sliwa’s conservative base could help Cuomo climb to compete against Mamdani, but Sliwa, 71, did not drop out. Sliwa, a well-known New York City figure for decades, lost handily to Adams four years earlier. If a fractured electorate can't decide between Cuomo or Mamdani, Sliwa would be the first Republican elected in the heavily Democratic city since Mike Bloomberg.

NFL insider 'would not rule out' Colts potentially trading a player away
|
The consensus is that the Indianapolis Colts are looking to make an addition at this year's NFL trade deadline. The two position groups that continue to pop up in many recent reports are cornerback and edge rusher. Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports echoed those sentiments in a recent report of his. However, he also added that he would "not rule out" the Colts potentially trading away a player either. And there is one player in particular who is garnering attention from other teams. "I would not rule out the Colts potentially trading a player, either," Jones wrote. "I have heard from teams who are monitoring second-year receiver Adonai Mitchell, who has two catches on four targets since the start of October. Mitchell was a second-round pick in the 2024 draft." Since Mitchell's touchdown-turned-fumble against the LA Rams, his role offensively has been almost non-existent. Since that game, he has played a grand total of 24 snaps over the last five games, and this includes being a healthy scratch in Week 6 against Arizona. Mitchell's talent is evident, with his impressive combination of speed and route running. However, beyond the fumble in LA, consistency is something he's been chasing since arriving in Indianapolis. He also finds himself at a very crowded position group with the Colts. Moving on from Mitchell so early in his career seems unlikely, but as Jones reported, other teams are monitoring the situation.

Carolina Hurricanes at New York Rangers odds, picks and predictions
|
The Carolina Hurricanes (7-4-0) and New York Rangers (6-5-2) meet Tuesday. Puck drop from Madison Square Garden in New York, is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (TNT / HBO Max / truTV). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's NHL odds around the Hurricanes vs. Rangers odds and make our expert NHL picks and predictions. 2024-25 season series: Hurricanes won 4-0 The Hurricanes swept the regular-season series in 2024-25, outscoring the Rangers 18-7, cashing in each of the games as a favorite. The Over-Under split 2-2, with the Under hitting in both meetings at MSG. Carolina has won 3 straight trips to New York, outscoring the Rangers 11-2 in the span, while the Under has cashed in each of the past 3 meetings, including Game 5 of a playoff series on May 13, 2024. Carolina suffered a 2-1 loss Saturday at the Boston Bruins as a heavy favorite (-190) as the Under (6.5) cashed. Frederik Andersen made 20 saves on 22 shots, while D Alexander Nikishin netted the only goal. Carolina has dropped 3 of the past 4 games, while the Over has a 3-2 edge in the past 5 outings. New York finished off a 4-game Western Conference road trip in style, posting a 3-2 OT win Saturday at the Seattle Kracken, a season-high third straight victory. LW Will Cuylle netted the winner in overtime, making a winner of G Igor Shesterkin, who turned aside 11 of 13 shots in a win. The Under has cashed in 2 of the past 3 outings, too. Watch the NHL on Fubo! Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 8:06 a.m. ET. Pyotr Kochetkov (27-16-3, 2.60 GAA, .898 SV%, 2 SO in 2024-25) vs. Igor Shesterkin (4-4-2, 2.28 GAA, .913 SV%, 1 SO) Kochetkov (lower body) makes his first appearance of the season after being recalled from the Chicago Wolves of the AHL for a conditioning assignment. He stopped 22 of 23 shots in a 4-1 win over the Toronto Marlies in a rehab game. Shesterkin allowed 2 goals on 13 shots in a 3-2 OTW against the Kraken, and he has won back-to-back starts with just 5 goals on 49 shots, both overtime victories. He allowed 6 goals on 24 shots in a 6-5 OTL against the San Jose Sharks in the most recent appearance at MSG. Hurricanes 3, Rangers 2 The HURRICANES (-125) are a strong play as a moderate favorite on the road. Carolina has won the past 3 trips to Madison Square Garden, while winning 6 of the past 7 meetings overall in the series. Be careful, though, as Carolina is expected to turn to Kochetkov, and there could be rust. But, until the Rangers show they can beat the Hurricanes regularly, you have to back the better team. The Rangers +1.5 (-225) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that's a little too expensive for some insurance. If you like New York, just bet it straight up. The Hurricanes have been involved in 4 one-score goals in the past 7 games. The Rangers have played 3 one-goal games in the past 5 outings, too. PASS. UNDER 5.5 (+100) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most. The concern here is Kochetkov making his first start of the season on the road in a tough environment. But, Carolina's defense is sound, and it has dominated New York in recent seasons. Go low, but don't get carried away. For more sports betting picks and tips, check out SportsbookWire.com and BetFTW.

Former Anarumo defender lands with new team; won't be joining Colts at trade deadline
|
A former defender of Lou Anarumo's from his time in Cincinnati won't be joining the Indianapolis Colts at the NFL trade deadline. According to multiple reports, Bengals' linebacker Logan Wilson is being traded to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a seventh-round draft pick. Whether or not Wilson was firmly on the Colts' radar or not isn't exactly known at this time, but over the weekend, The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported that Indianapolis -- along with several other teams -- had called the Bengals prior to the deadline. A few of the players Russini mentioned as drawing interest were Wilson, Cam Taylor-Britt, and Trey Hendrickson. My thought is that GM Chris Ballard acquiring Wilson was not a major priority for him. While the Colts had question marks at the WILL linebacker position early on this season and relied heavily on a rotation, the addition of Germaine Pratt has provided stability at that position for Indianapolis. Finding playing time for both Wilson and Pratt next to Zaire Franklin may not have come all that easily. Stay up to date right here throughout the day on Tuesday with not only the latest rumors that surround the Colts, but all trade deadline reports from the last few weeks.

Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's NBA odds around the Bucks vs. Raptors odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets. Season series: Bucks lead 1-0 with a 122-116 win Oct. 24 as a 2-point road underdog as the Over (235.5) cashed The Raptors beat the Memphis Grizzlies 117-104 Sunday, closing as a 4.5-point home favorite.

The Bucks beat the Indiana Pacers 117-115 on the road Monday, failing to cover as a 6-point favorite as the Under (235) hit. F Giannis Antetokounmpo was the only Milwaukee player with more than 15 points, scoring 33 on 14-for-21 shooting. The Bucks have gotten off to a hot start, especially on the offensive end. They have scored at least 113 in all 7 games this season. Milwaukee is 5-2 ATS. Watch the NBA on Fubo!

Boston Celtics jersey history No. 42 - Kedrick Brown (2001-03)
|
The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover. And for today's article, we will continue with the ninth of 14 people to wear the No. 42, Boston forward alum Kedrick Brown. After ending his college career at Okaloosa-Walton Community College, Brown was picked up with the 11th overall selection of the 2001 NBA Draft by the Celtics. The Zachary, Louisiana native would play parts of the first three seasons of his pro career with Boston before he was dealt to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003. During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Brown wore only jersey Nos. 42 and 5 and put up 5.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Election 2025 live updates: VA, NJ, CA voters to offer their feelings about Trump
|
Virginia and New Jersey voters will each pick a new governor, and Californians will decide on a major redistricting push on Election Day. All of the races could signal how voters are feeling about President Donald Trump and their mood heading into the 2026 midterms. Democratic U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger is trying to win control of the Virginia governor's mansion from the GOP in a contest against Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears. Republican Jack Ciattarelli is making his third bid for governor in New Jersey after losing by just three percentage points in 2021. The former state lawmaker faces off against Democratic U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill. California, meanwhile, votes on the Proposition 50 ballot measure pushed by Democrats that would allow state leaders to temporarily bypass an independent redistricting commission and draw a new House map. Democrats want to draw more seats in California that favor their party after Texas created more GOP-leaning seats. The races are among a handful of statewide contests that offer the first big opportunity to gauge voter sentiment nearly a year into Trump's aggressive second term. The president has loomed large over the elections, featuring in ads and debates. More: Is Trump on the ballot next week? How Trump looms in key elections in Virginia, NJ, NYC and Cal. Democrats hope to see more signs of a growing backlash to Trump, while the GOP is working to blunt the typical momentum for the party out of power. The elections are a precursor to more consequential midterm contests next year, when control of Congress – and with it the fate of Trump’s legislative agenda – will be decided. While the Democratic party probably wasn't so crazy about billionaire Tom Steyer interjecting himself in what his camp describes as a "non-traditional campaign" in California's Proposition 50 redistricting race, maybe he brought more than he advertised. Steyer, the environmental activist and longshot 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, spent more than $12 million during his self-promoted "Stick It to Trump" Prop 50 campaign. This includes two commercials airing heavily in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Sacramento, the state capital, and across social media. The commercials: one features a spoof of President Donald Trump watching the results of Prop 50 passing, throwing french fries, and saying, "I hate California." Another spot has Steyer accusing the president of trying to rig the 2026 midterm elections and bluntly urging California voters to "let's stick it to Trump!" There were also sponsored rallies led by social media influencers, including supporters placing a smattering of "Stick it to Trump" and "Yes on 50" stickers over President Donald Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Oct. 30. On Election Day, Trump on his Truth Social platform called Prop 50 a "GIANT SCAM" and said the voting itself is "RIGGED." Meanwhile, in a Nov. 3 memo, Steyer's camp believes his "Stick it to Trump" campaign supported the work of Governor Gavin Newsom’s Yes on 50 efforts to help "push Prop 50 over the finish line." Prop 50 is a constitutional amendment pushed by Newsom that, if passed, would allow the state to temporarily stop using a nonpartisan commission and use lines drawn by its Democratic state lawmakers, possibly increasing their party's chances of winning more seats in Congress. "This should be something for us all to celebrate," Steyer spokesperson Kevin Liao told USA TODAY. And Steyer's gamble will likely pay off in a Prop 50 victory on Election Day that could propel him on the list of possible candidates for California governor, said Brian Sobel, a longtime Bay Area-based political analyst. "Oh, no question, Steyer will emerge as one of the Prop 50 winners just like Newsom, (Barack) Obama, and the other Democrats who made cameo appearances in those Yes on 50 ads," Sobel said. "Going forward, Steyer may have to tone it down and not come across as a bit unbalanced. "But today, Steyer looks like he gets to celebrate spending some of his fortune helping to gain an important victory," Sobel concluded. --Terry Collins After New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani linked Trump to bomb threats at New Jersey polling places, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called the candidate “irresponsible.” Mamdani called the bomb threats part of voter intimidation like Trump’s baseless claims of voter fraud. “I think they are completely irresponsible and they are based on zero evidence,” Leavitt told reporters Nov. 4 at the Whtie House. --Bart Jansen Former US Attorney General Eric Holder said he supports Maryland Governor Wes Moore's decision to create a new advisory commission to consider redistricting in that state. Holder, who was attorney general under President Obama and is the current chair of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, said in a statement on Nov. 4 that getting public feedback and making recommendations to Moore and Maryland's General Assembly to improve the state's congressional map will help ensure fairness. "At a time when Donald Trump and his Republican allies show no signs of stopping their relentless campaign to undermine elections and manipulate the rules to cling to power, the Governor’s Redistricting Advisory Commission in Maryland exemplifies the kind of leadership our democracy demands," Holder said. Holder believes the commission would demonstrate a commitment to transparency and accountability by "putting power where it belongs—in the hands of the people. "It stands in stark contrast to what we’ve seen in Texas, Missouri, and North Carolina, and ensures that Maryland can take critical steps forward to ensure that our democracy can responsibly withstand — and overcome — this national gerrymandering crisis," Holder added. --Terry Collins New Jersey Democrats filed a lawsuit in Bergen County over claims its election officials failed to notify voters about issues with their mail-in ballots so they could be addressed and counted, NorthJersey.com reported. The emergency application came after the New Jersey Globe reported on Nov. 2 that there were roughly 300 “naked ballots,” or ballots that weren’t placed in an inner envelope, that were in danger of not being counted. The Bergen County Board of Elections had a 3-3 party line deadlock in a vote over whether to notify the affected voters, the outlet reported. Democrats voted in favor of notifying voters, while Republicans opposed, citing staffing issues. The New Jersey Democratic State Committee’s filing said the board’s failure to take action would “undoubtedly result in the disenfranchisement of approximately 300 voters in Bergen County.” The committee asked the court to either order the board to provide a written notice to the affected voters and give them an opportunity to cure their ballots or have the board release the names of affected voters so they could vote on Nov. 4. --BrieAnna Frank Wes Moore, Maryland's Democratic governor, announced a new commission to consider redistricting in the state as Californians consider a Democrat-backed plan to redraw their state's districts. "President Donald Trump and his allies are trying to rig the system and are handpicking Republican states to go through redistricting processes," Moore said in a video statement released Election Day. "While other states are determining whether or not they have fair maps, so will Maryland." It comes as California is voting on a ballot initiative backed by Gov. Gavin Newsom that would drastically redistrict the state. Newsom has pushed the campaign as an offset to President Donald Trump's push to redraw red states' districts in favor of Republicans ahead of the midterms. -- Cybele Mayes-Osterman Chief Election Officer Jason Long of Ward 2 in Staunton said Tuesday morning that voter turnout, so far, had surprisingly been higher than anticipated. “Turnout here has been a lot higher than anyone expected,” Long said. Of the ward’s roughly 3,800 registered voters, he said 450 had already voted in person by 10:40 a.m. One of those voters was Debra Dawson, 29, who was with her daughter, 7-year-old Thea, who goes with her mother every year to vote. “I voted yesterday at school too,” Thea said. Dawson said Virginia’s race for governor, pitting Republican Winsome Earle-Sears against Democrat Abigail Spanberger, was her main focus on Tuesday. “The governor race is really important to me,” Dawson said. “But all of them really are. I think voting in any election, big or small, local or wider, is very important.” --Brad Zinn Vice President JD Vance urged New Jersey voters to cast their ballot for Republican Jack Ciattarelli for governor on the morning of Election Day, saying the state has "suffered" under "crap leadership." "Get out there and vote for Jack if you live in NJ," he wrote on X. "New Jersey is such a great state but it’s suffered too long under crap leadership." -- Cybele Mayes-Osterman Polls close in Virginia at 7 p.m. ET and New Jersey at 8 p.m. ET. California polls close at 8 p.m. PT. Virginia election results can be found here, while New Jersey's results are here and California's results are here. Maps: See how Proposition 50 can change California elections and shift Trump's strategy More: Will historic pattern hold? See why Virginia and New Jersey's elections matter this year The Democratic candidates for governor in New Jersey and Virginia are making opposition to Donald Trump central to their pitches. In California, an ad urges voters to "stick it to Trump," while New York City's frontrunner for mayor says he'll "stand up" to the president of the United States if he wins. Trump's name is not on the ballot in 2025. He's a lame duck whose political retirement looms in three years. But the off-year races culminating on Tuesday have nonetheless put a spotlight on the 79-year-old Republican. While Trump has largely stayed off the campaign trail – he spent much of the final week before Election Day on a trip to Asia – he's hardly gone dark on politics. He's made New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a frequent target as Republicans try to portray Democrats as too far left. Ciattarelli told the USA TODAY Network that he speaks to Trump every couple of weeks, and the president reupped his endorsement in a recent social media post reminding Garden State voters: "HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!" Law enforcement is investigating email threats at polling places in Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmo Ocean and Passaic Counties, according to a statement from New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin, the USA TODAY NETWORK reported. Some polling places have since reopened. At polling places that remained closed, voters were sent to other sits to pick up provisional ballots. “Voters should continue to have confidence that they can cast their ballot without fear of intimidation, and we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure a free, fair, and secure election,” Platkin wrote. “We will not tolerate any attempts to interfere with our elections, and we will swiftly hold accountable anyone who seeks to interfere with the safety or security of our electoral process.” Virginia Department of Elections Commissioner Susan Beals said the department has “concerns” about mail-in ballots making it to registrars’ offices around the commonwealth by the Friday deadline. Beals was responding to a question about the department’s confidence in the U.S. Postal Service during a Tuesday morning news briefing. She said the department has worked “very closely” with the postal service in the lead up to the election, calling them “fantastic partners.” “While we have been very happy with the type of response that they’ve shown us, we do still have concerns and have heard from voters that there are concerns,” Beals said. She said voters with concerns about their mail-in ballots could fill out a regular ballot at their polling place or contact their registrar’s office to confirm the status of their ballot. Beals also noted a polling location change in Newport News, Virginia, after a driver crashed their vehicle into a planned voting location at Ivy Farms Community of Faith Church over the weekend. The building was condemned, and the polling location was moved to South Morrison Family Education Center. Roughly 1.4 million Virginians had voted early as of Nov. 1, Beals said, with 1.1 million early votes cast in person and 300,000 returned through the mail. Another news briefing is scheduled for 8 p.m. Tuesday. In Virginia, no problems have been reported, according to the election department. – BrieAnna Frank In the race for Virginia attorney general, Democrat Jay Jones and Republican Jason Miyares, the incumbent, are neck and neck, according to recent polls. An Emerson College/The Hill poll released on Nov. 2 showed Jones up by two points with 49% to Miyares' 47%. Other recent polls have showed the pair tied. The election attracted national attention after texts Jones sent in 2022 saying the state's then-House speaker should get "two bullets to the head" were revealed. Jones later apologized for the texts, saying he was "ashamed" and "embarrassed" that he sent them. They both were members of the 2018 freshman class that helped Democrats retake the U.S. House. Both present themselves as kitchen-table centrists with extensive military and national security experience. And the two friends − who text each other regularly and were roommates on Capitol Hill − were even born in each other’s states. Now, Spanberger and Sherrill, two moderate gubernatorial candidates, are seen by some observers as a model for how Democrats can make a broad electoral appeal, in contrast to the party's socialist nominee for New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani, who has been a target for President Donald Trump. – Phillip M. Bailey, Katie Sobko As Virginia voters took to the polls Tuesday morning, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger posted condolences about the passing of former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney. Cheney served as second-in-command under President George W. Bush, but veered from Republican Party leadership following the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump. Cheney endorsed then-Vice President Kamala Harris for president in the 2024 election. "My prayers are with the family of Vice President Dick Cheney today — his wife Lynne Cheney, his daughters Liz and Mary, and their families — as they mourn his passing," Spanberger posted on X. A poll released Oct. 30 found the New Jersey race for governor could be growing tighter, with Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill edging 4 points ahead of Republican Jack Ciattarelli less than a week before Election Day. The statewide poll from Suffolk University puts Sherrill's support among likely voters at 46%, while Ciattarelli, a former state assemblyman, stands at 42%, though the difference is still within the survey's margins of error. Another 7% of respondents said they were undecided and 3% refused to respond. Two other candidates on the ballot received 1% of support. A separate poll released Oct 31 showed Sherrill had a slight lead over Ciattarelli. The AtlasIntel poll of more than 1,600 likely voters in New Jersey, which was conducted from Oct. 25 to Oct. 30, showed Sherrill getting 50.2% of the vote compared to Ciattarelli's 49.3%, with a 2% margin of error. Democrat Mikie Sherrill will narrowly eke out a win over Jack Ciattarelli, her Republican opponent, in the New Jersey gubernatorial election, according to a poll considered the "most accurate" by election analyst Nate Silver. AtlasIntel, which was considered the most accurate pollster in the 2020 presidential election, found Sherrill holds 50.2% Ciattarelli's 49.3%, according to a poll released on Oct. 31. Polling averages have shown Sherrill ahead of Ciattarelli by 4.6 to 6.6 points, still within the margin of error. A survey released Oct. 23 found Democrat Abigail Spanberger has a nine-point lead over Republican challenger and Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears in the Virginia governor's race, seen as a national bellwether election. In a Suffolk University poll of likely voters released Oct. 23, Spanberger garnered 52% of the vote among survey respondents, followed by Earl-Sears' 43%. Another 3% said they were undecided. President Donald Trump has endorsed the Republican candidates for New Jersey governor and Virginia attorney general - Jack Ciattarelli and Jason Miyares - in glowing terms. Ciattarelli "IS A WINNER FOR NEW JERSEY," Trump wrote in all caps in an Oct. 20 Truth Social post. Miyares "WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN," he wrote in an Oct. 5 post. Notably absent was Winsome Earle-Sears, the Republican running for Virginia governor, who Trump has never endorsed by name. Earle-Sears provoked Trump's ire when, in 2022, she called Trump a "liability" and said "voters want to move on." Trump hit back in a post at the time that he "Never felt good" about Earle-Sears. "Always thought she was a phony."

Colts NFL trade deadline primer: Everything you need to know
|
If the Indianapolis Colts are going to make a trade deadline deal, they must do so by 4:00 PM ET on Tuesday, Nov. 4th. At 7-2 on the season, the Colts have been one of the best teams in football through the first half of the year. However, like many teams, they also have a roster hole or two that could be addressed by GM Chris Ballard. Put those two elements together, and the recipe for a trade deadline move very much exists. Below is everything you need to know about the NFL trade deadline as it pertains to the Colts. Stay up to date right here with the latest rumors and reports surrounding the Colts. If the Colts are going to make a deal, who might be on their radar? Here is a closer look at eight potential trade candidates. We recently highlighted four specific positions that Ballard could look to add to. If the Colts want to make a deal, how many 2026 NFL draft picks do they have, and how much salary cap space is available? Let's take a look.

Miami Redhawks at Ohio Bobcats odds, picks and predictions
|
The Miami Redhawks (5-3, 4-0 MAC) and the Ohio Bobcats (5-3, 3-1) meet Tuesday at Peden Stadium in Athens, Ohio. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's NCAA football odds around the Miami vs. Ohio odds and make our expert college football picks and predictions for the best bets. Miami leads the all-time series 56-43-2, although Ohio picked up a 38-3 victory in the Mid-American Conference Championship Game last Dec. 7 at Ford Field in Detroit. In the most recent meeting in Athens, Miami won 30-16 in 2023. In the past 6 regular-season meetings since 2018, Miami is 4-2 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in the span, while the Over has cashed in 4 straight regular-season meetings. The Redhawks posted a 26-17 win last week over the Western Michigan Broncos as a 2-point favorite as the Over (40) cashed, winning and covering for the fifth straight time. The Over is 3-1 in the past 4 outings, too. In the win over WMU, QB Dequan Finn threw for 260 yards and 1 TD with 52 rushing yards and a score. Ohio posted a 28-21 win at the Eastern Michigan Eagles, but it failed as a 12.5-point favorite as the Under (59.5) connected. QB Parker Navarro threw for 315 yards, 2 TDs and 2 INTs and rushed for 63 yards, while RB Sieh Bangura rushed for 100 yards and 2 scores. WR Chase Hendricks posted 10 grabs for 112 yards and 2 TDs, too. The Bobcats have won 4 of the past 5 games, but they're just 2-3 ATS in the span, while the Over has a 3-2 edge in those 5 outings – Rankings: US LBM Coaches Poll, conducted by the American Football Coaches Association and USA TODAY Sports Watch NCAA football on Fubo! Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 7:45 a.m. ET. Ohio 27, Miami 24 If you're a little on the conservative side, OHIO (-145) as a moderate favorite on the moneyline is worth a look. This game should be very close in Athens. The Bobcats are a very different team at home, winning all 4 games, including a 17-10 win over the West Virginia Mountaineers of the Big 12. OHIO -2.5 (-115) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most. The Bobcats are 4-1 SU in the past 5 games, but just 2-3 ATS in the span since Sept. 20. However, Ohio is 4-0 SU at home, while going 3-0 ATS in 3 games against FBS opponents at Peden Stadium. Ohio has rolled up serious offense in the past 3 at home, too, going for 135 total points, or 45.0 points per game. The defense has allowed 25.3 PPG in the span, too. Miami is 3-1 ATS in 4 games on the road, including 2-0 ATS in the MAC, so be careful. The Redhawks have covered 5 in a row, too. OVER 49.5 (-110) is a solid play in this mid-week game. The Over has cashed in 3 of the past 4 games for Miami, while the total has gone high in each of the past 3 home games for Ohio. The Over has hit in 4 of the past 5 meetings in the series since 2021.

Nicholls Colonels at Kentucky Wildcats odds, picks and predictions
|
The Nicholls Colonels and the No. 9 Kentucky Wildcats meet Tuesday to open their seasons at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky. Tip off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (SEC Network+). Let's analyze FanDuel Sportsbook's NCAA basketball odds around the Nicholls vs. Kentucky odds and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions for the best bets. The Colonels are coming off a 20-13 campaign and will lean on senior guards Jalin Rice and Christian Winborne alongside transfer G Kevin Pazmino, who arrives from the national champion Florida Gators and brings backcourt depth. Freshman G Jordan Matthews adds local talent and energy. Coach Tevon Saddler’s squad mixes veteran experience with fresh faces and should contend in the Southland Conference while aiming to break through for a postseason bid. Kentucky reloads under coach Mark Pope by adding top transfers like G Denzel Aberdeen (also from Florida) and big-man Mouhamed Dioubate (from the Alabama Crimson Tide) alongside shooting wing Kam Williams. In the freshman class, 7-foot C Malachi Moreno stands out as a local product ready to contribute. With veteran transfers, elite young talent and depth across positions, Kentucky is poised to make a serious run in the SEC and contend nationally. – Rankings: USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll Watch NCAA basketball on Fubo! Provided by FanDuel Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 7:26 a.m. ET. Kentucky 90, Nicholls 62 PASS. Kentucky will take care of business at home in their season opener, but you can't bet the moneyline because it's not offered in almost all books -- and you wouldn't want to either. BET NICHOLLS +29.5 (-110). College basketball is finally back, and Tuesday’s opener at Rupp Arena should be a fun one. The Wildcats kick off their season against Nicholls in the BBN United Tipoff Classic, and while Kentucky will almost certainly win, I’m grabbing Nicholls +29.5 without hesitation. Here’s why: First off, this Nicholls team isn’t your typical early-season cupcake. They’ve won 20+ games in back-to-back years and return a solid core under Saddler. The Colonels have a mix of experienced returners—guys like G Trae English, G Jaylen Searles, and F Sincere Malone—and a batch of transfers who can play right away. G Zee Hamoda averaged nearly 11.9 points per game at the Sacramento State Hornets, and Winborne brings more potential scoring pop from the Iona Gaels. This team is deep, athletic, and experienced—exactly the kind of group that can hang around when the favorite starts slow. And Kentucky has shown some reasons for concern early. Sure, that exhibition win over the No. 1 Purdue Boilermakers looked awesome, but then they turned around and lost to the Georgetown Hoyas. They shot just 27% from 3s across 3 preseason games. Their top shooters, F Trent Noah and Williams, are off to slow starts, and a few key guards are banged up. Pope’s team is going to be good, no question, but they might not come out of the gate firing on all cylinders. So yeah, Kentucky probably wins by 20+, but nearly 30 points? That’s a lot for a team still finding its rhythm. Nicholls has enough veteran presence and scoring balance to keep this respectable. I’m not calling for an upset, but I’ll gladly take the points and trust the Colonels to cover the +29.5 spread. Kentucky’s offense is too talented not to bounce back after that rough exhibition loss; they’ll be sharper with better shot selection and healthier guards. Nicholls just doesn’t have the defense to keep up, especially inside Rupp Arena. The Wildcats should score early and often, and even if Nicholls adds a few buckets late, this one feels like an easy ride to the OVER 152.5 (-110).

Indianapolis Colts NFL trade deadline rumors tracker
|
It is NFL trade deadline day. If the Indianapolis Colts are going to make any deals, all moves must be completed by 4:00 PM ET on Tuesday. Stay up to date right here throughout the day with not only the latest rumors that surround the Colts, but all trade deadline reports from the last few weeks. To see what assets the Colts have available to make a potential deal happen at this year's deadline, you can find that here. We also highlighted eight potential trade targets who could be on the Colts' radar and four positions of need. As of Tuesday, Nov. 4th, here are the latest NFL trade deadline rumors and reports surrounding the Indianapolis Colts. Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports would write that he would "not rule out" the Colts potentially trading away a player. The name that Jones brought up was wide receiver AD Mitchell. "I have heard from teams who are monitoring second-year receiver Adonai Mitchell, who has two catches on four targets since the start of October," wrote Jones. "We're working through that," Steichen said. "Like I said, (GM Chris Ballard) and his staff are doing their due diligence on that stuff, and we'll see how it plays out." According to The Athletic's Dianna Russini, the Colts, along with the LA Rams, San Francisco, Detroit, and Philadelphia, have all called the Bengals. The three players that Russini mentioned being of interest were linebacker Logan Wilson--who has since beend traded to Dallas--cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt, and defensive end Trey Hendrickson. According to SI's Albert Breer, not surprisingly, these are the two position groups that the Colts are searching for help at. The Colts are reportedly "making calls" on cornerbacks ahead of the NFL trade deadline, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini. According to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, the Colts are looking for defensive help at "the right price." Specifically, what the Colts are looking for is edge rusher and secondary help. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Colts are viewed as a team "to watch" ahead of this year's trade deadline. Schultz adds that adding a "proven defensive playmaker" is on the Colts' radar. "I think Chris handles all that stuff," Shane Steichen said of the trade deadline, via Colts.com. "I think Chris does a phenomenal job along with his staff. I think they're always looking into different things that could come up before the trade deadline. So I'll leave that stuff to him, and I think he's done a hell of a job with all that stuff." The Athletic's NFL insider Dianna Russini reported that the Colts are looking to "bolster" their defense, specifically the cornerback position.

Dick Cheney, the most controversial, powerful vice president in US history, dies at 84
|
WASHINGTON – He was the most powerful and the most controversial vice president in American history. Richard Bruce Cheney was a laconic onetime college dropout who found his place in Washington, moving to the capital as a congressional fellow and rising in short order to become White House chief of staff for President Gerald Ford, a Wyoming congressman in the House Republican leadership and wartime secretary of defense for President George H.W. Bush. Then, for eight years as vice president for the younger President George W. Bush, Cheney acted as no second-in-command had before − directing the presidential transition, devising policy on energy and leading a concerted administration effort to restore and expand executive authority from what he saw as congressional incursion. Cheney, 84, died surrounded by family on the evening of Nov. 3 of complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease, according to a statement from the Cheney family. It called him "a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing." More: Former Vice President Dick Cheney, a war hawk who served three GOP presidents, dies After the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001, he played a central role in shaping a hard-edged approach toward terrorism that included unprecedented electronic surveillance within the United States and aggressive interrogation of foreign combatants that many called torture. He was an architect of the decision to invade Iraq, a war that in large part defined Bush’s presidency. On foreign affairs, national security, energy and other fronts, Cheney was second only to the president in shaping policy and strategy, though his influence declined and his relationship with Bush cooled toward the end of their time in office. “He was certainly the most powerful vice president, but I hate to damn him with that moniker,” said Paul Light, a political scientist at New York University and author of "Vice-Presidential Power: Advice and Influence in the White House." More: US presidents are living longer and longer “He was much more than vice president," Light said. "He ended up doing so many things that go well beyond the boundaries of the vice presidency.” Light called him “as influential as any senior adviser in modern American history” and on a range of issues, from congressional relations to climate change. “There’s practically nowhere in the administration where you don’t see his engagement.” Cheney became a frequent target of Democrats and other administration critics, particularly for his rosy predictions before the Iraq War and his ties to the oil services giant Halliburton. He was portrayed by late-night comics and "Saturday Night Live" as a sort of puppet master of Bush, an image he rejected as ridiculous and offensive. Still, there was sometimes a debate over whether Cheney was too powerful. During the 2008 Republican primaries, the candidates vying for the GOP presidential nomination said that, if elected, their vice presidents would have different roles. “The notion almost seems an historical oxymoron,” says Joel Goldstein, a professor at Saint Louis University Law School and author of "The Modern American Vice Presidency." He has written about Cheney’s tenure. “Only under Cheney was there ever the question whether or not the vice president might really have been running things.” The irony was this: Cheney drew his power in part from his lack of ambition. In the mid-1990s, he briefly tested the waters for a presidential bid but concluded that he lacked the fundraising prowess, campaign skills and electoral base to be a serious contender. When Bush chose him for the Republican ticket in 2000, Cheney made it clear from the start that he had no intention of trying to succeed him in the Oval Office. Perhaps as a result, Cheney seemed unconcerned about the strong feelings, pro and con, he engendered. After 9/11, he was sometimes out of public view entirely, working from so-called undisclosed locations to ensure that a terrorist strike wouldn’t hit both the president and vice president. He played the traditional running mate’s role as hatchet man in the 2004 reelection campaign, attacking Democrat John Kerry as a man of unsteady convictions. And Cheney was unapologetic when his chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, was convicted in 2007 of obstruction of justice and perjury in a case involving the leak of the name of a CIA officer, Valerie Plame Wilson. Bush commuted Libby’s 30-month prison sentence but refused Cheney’s request to pardon him. (In 2018, President Donald Trump pardoned Libby.) During his vice presidency, Democratic partisans and the mainstream news media hammered and misrepresented Cheney, said former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson, a friend since they met in Wyoming in 1967. “They began to distort who he was” into a “devil incarnate” caricatured with “the leer, the sneer” on his face, Simpson told USA TODAY in an interview before his death in March 2025. “That was, I’m sure, tough for anybody.” The public’s impression soured. Soon after he was sworn in as vice president in 2001, the Gallup Poll found that Americans approved of the job he was doing 3 to 1, or 63%-21%. By the time he left office, in January 2009, they disapproved of him nearly 2 to 1, or 59%-32%. Cheney’s two daughters described him as a loving father, and his wife testified to his wry humor. The vice president and his wife performed a comic tango on stage in 2002 at the Gridiron Dinner, an annual white-tie press dinner, spoofing his stays in undisclosed locations to the tune of “Hernando’s Hideaway.” But Cheney rarely tried to combat the image painted by critics and comedians of him as a dour partisan, dark and forbidding. There were jokes after he accidentally sprayed a companion with birdshot pellets while quail hunting in Texas in 2006. At the Gridiron Dinner the next year, conservative columnist Robert Novak was costumed as Darth Vader as he portrayed Cheney on stage. “Lots of time vice presidents spend all their time getting ready to run themselves,” Cheney told USA TODAY in an interview on Jan. 17, 2001. “That’s not why I’m here. I’m here to serve as his vice president and that’s it.” Cheney uncharacteristically reminisced during the telephone interview, which took place amid hectic preparations for the inauguration that would take place three days later. “I remembered arriving in Washington in September, October of 1968 as a poverty-stricken graduate student,” he said. He took a bus from his newly rented apartment in suburban Annandale, Virginia, to a transfer point in downtown Washington, DC, and found himself flummoxed about what to do next. “I couldn’t figure out how to work the transfer system, and finally I walked all the way to the Longworth House Office Building, across Capitol Hill,” he said. “That was 33 years ago. Now I’ll have this opportunity. It’s been quite a trip.” Decades later, Cheney's daughter, Liz Cheney, represented Wyoming in the House for three terms, eventually being ousted by a Republican challenger backed by Trump. Trump was enraged that she had served as vice chair of the committee that investigated the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. She became one of the leading voices in the GOP against Trump. A few days before his election to a second term in November 2024, he called her "a deranged person" and "a very dumb individual" at a campaign event in Glendale, Arizona. "She's a radical war hawk. Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK?" he said. In a 2022 ad for his daughter's congressional campaign, Dick Cheney called Trump a coward. "There has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic," he said. More: Democrats welcome former boogeyman Dick Cheney to the big tent In 2024, he announced he was voting for Democrat Kamala Harris for president. Dick Cheney was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, on Jan. 30, 1941. His parents, Democrats both, boasted that their son had been born on Franklin Roosevelt’s birthday. His father was a soil conservation agent with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, his grandfather a cook on the Union Pacific Railroad. At 13, Cheney and his family moved to Wyoming, where he would put down roots. He learned to hunt pheasant and fly-fish for trout, passions he would pursue for the rest of his life. He was a standout at Natrona County High School, playing halfback on the football team and winning election as senior class president. His high school sweetheart, Lynne Anne Vincent, was the school’s head baton twirler and a straight-A student. But Cheney floundered for a time after he won an academic scholarship and went east to Yale; Vincent was breezing through Colorado College. Before completing his sophomore year, he dropped out of school and moved back to Casper. He began working full time on power lines, a union job he had held during summers. It was Vincent who would “lower the boom and tell Dick to stay on track,” her college roommate, Janet Rogers, told USA TODAY years later. “But there was never any question that she was going to marry Dick.” Cheney went back to school, first at Casper College and then at the University of Wyoming, where he received bachelor’s and master’s degrees in political science. Both of them enrolled in doctoral programs at the University of Wisconsin, and they were married in 1964. The daughters, Elizabeth and Mary, were born in 1966 and 1969. He won a fellowship in the office of William Steiger, a Wisconsin Republican. Before the year was over, Steiger had loaned him to an up-and-coming staffer in the Nixon White House named Donald Rumsfeld. When Nixon was forced to resign during the Watergate scandal, President Gerald Ford named Rumsfeld as his top assistant, and Cheney was his deputy. When Ford moved Rumsfeld to the Pentagon for his first stint as secretary of defense, Cheney became, at 34, the youngest White House chief of staff in history. Ford lost his election bid in 1976, and Cheney returned to Wyoming for a job in banking. Two years later, he was back in Washington after winning the first of six elections to Congress. In the House, Cheney’s manner was moderate, but his voting record made him among the most conservative members serving at the time. He voted against the Equal Rights Amendment, federal funding for abortions for low-income women, school busing to achieve integration, sanctions on the apartheid government in South Africa, and the creation of a federal Department of Education. He supported prayer in schools and a balanced-budget law, as well as just about every weapons system that President Ronald Reagan proposed. He boosted legislation to help energy companies, important in the Cowboy State. (Later, as vice president, he would break with many in the GOP by supporting same-sex marriage, noting that his younger daughter, Mary, was openly gay. "Freedom Means freedom for everyone," he said.) Cheney's pragmatism and low-key style made him trusted across ideological lines. By his second term, he had been elected to the House Republican leadership. But in 1989, President George H.W. Bush fought a bruising battle over his nomination of Texas Sen. John Tower as secretary of defense. The day after the Senate rejected Tower, Bush named Cheney. There was a kerfuffle because Cheney had used a series of five deferments to avoid the draft during the Vietnam War. He had “other priorities than military service,” he would later say. But the Wyoming congressman’s standing among Washington insiders paid off: He was unanimously confirmed. A decade later, the elder George H.W. Bush advised his son that Cheney − by then the CEO of Halliburton, a job that made him a multimillionaire − had the discretion and judgment to lead the search for his running mate in the 2000 campaign. The younger George W. Bush found himself so taken by those qualities, and by the breadth of Cheney’s experience, that he offered the job to Cheney. “An outstanding individual capable of serving as president of the United States,” Bush declared at a summer rally in Austin when he announced his pick. Cheney replied, “Big changes are coming to Washington, and I want to be a part of it.” Some outsiders wondered whether Cheney had engineered the selection process to put his own name forward, and he was selected without going through the extensive medical and financial background checks of other prospects. “He was not a shrinking violet,” said former Indiana congressman Lee Hamilton, a Democrat who served with Cheney on the House Intelligence Committee and knew him through the years. “He could put himself forward.” Simpson said Cheney was reluctant to accept the job, initially turning it down and urging Bush to choose former Missouri Sen. John Danforth, but Bush told Cheney, “I want you." Simpson said Cheney “went home to Lynne and said, ‘I don’t know how many times I can say no.’ " He never fit the traditional mold for a running mate. He didn’t deliver a key state; Wyoming was safely Republican and had only three electoral votes anyway. Despite a lifetime in politics, he never got the knack of connecting with an audience. “He’s certainly not a charismatic campaigner or a particularly riveting speaker,” noted James Patterson, a historian and author of "Restless Giant: The United States from Watergate to Bush v. Gore." And throughout his political career, his health was a concern. He had his first heart attack during his first congressional campaign, at age 37. He suffered two more while a member of Congress and a fourth as the battle over who had won the presidential election raged in 2000. As vice president, he had a cardiac defibrillator implanted. He had a fifth heart attack after leaving office, in February 2010, and five months later was outfitted with a device that helped pump blood and compensate for increasing heart congestion. What Cheney offered Bush in 2000 was the reassuring gravitas of someone who knew Washington, had helped run the first Persian Gulf War and had prospered in the private sector, too. Bush was then the two-term governor of Texas, appealing but in some ways untested. Cheney helped fill in the gaps. Once in office, Cheney didn’t fit the traditional mold for a vice president, either. He didn’t use the job to set the stage for his own presidential run; he was the only vice president in modern times without presidential aspirations. Instead, he served as Bush’s senior liaison to Congress, especially to the old bulls with whom he had served on Capitol Hill. He took on some specific assignments, including chairing an energy task force. In the administration’s early months, Bush asked him to chair a task force on terrorism, too. But that task force hadn’t gotten started by 9/11. After terrorists struck New York and Washington, Cheney’s role expanded as the administration scrambled to deal with its aftermath, plan the invasion of Afghanistan and then consider the more controversial question of whether to strike Iraq. “The invasion of Iraq was in many ways Dick Cheney’s war,” James Mann wrote in "Rise of the Vulcans: The History of Bush’s War Cabinet." The vice president “wielded extraordinary influence in the administration’s backroom decision making.” His network of aides and former aides, forged over decades, was in the forefront of those pushing for Saddam Hussein’s overthrow – unfinished business, deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and others argued, from the first Gulf War. Cheney helped make the public case for war. “I think things have gotten so bad inside Iraq, from the standpoint of the Iraqi people, my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators,” Cheney said on NBC’s "Meet the Press" on March 16, 2003. The invasion would be launched four days later. He argued that it was nearly certain Saddam was pursuing weapons of mass destruction. And he dismissed the idea of a long and costly war. “I don’t think it’s likely to unfold that way,” he said. Years later, Cheney acknowledged that no stores of such weapons had been found and that the war hadn’t gone with the ease he had predicted. But he defended the course he had advised and Bush had chosen. “If we have learned anything in the last 25 years – from Beirut to Somalia to the USS Cole – it is that terrorist attacks are not caused by the projection of force; they are invited by the perception of weakness,” he told the conservative Heritage Foundation in January 2006. “And this nation made a decision: We will never go back to the false comforts of the world before Sept. 11th, 2001. We will engage these enemies with the goal of victory. And with the American military in the fight, that victory is certain.” Cheney was walking with a cane on that day, and he perched on a stool at the podium as he spoke, an acknowledgment of persistent problems he was having with his foot. After he left the White House, Cheney began to work on his memoirs, but he didn’t withdraw from public view, the tradition of most former vice presidents and the course followed by Bush himself. Instead, he aggressively defended the Bush administration and attacked the changes in war policy and international diplomacy being put in place by President Barack Obama. Four days after the attempted bombing of a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day, Cheney accused Obama of “trying to pretend we are not at war,” blasting his promise to close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba and try some terror suspects in civilian courts. “He seems to think if he gets rid of the words ‘war on terror,’ we won’t be at war,” Cheney said in a statement that drew a White House rebuke. “But we are at war, and when President Obama pretends we aren’t, it makes us less safe.” The course he had helped chart was the right one, he argued. His tone was, as usual, unyielding and certain.

Dick Cheney, powerful VP who pushed Iraq invasion, dies at 84. Live updates.
|
WASHINGTON ‒ Dick Cheney, one of the most powerful vice presidents in United States history, a chief architect of the war in Iraq and a member of an old Republican Party guard that is quickly fading away, died Monday night. Cheney, whose death was confirmed by a statement from his family, was 84. The cause was complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease, the statement said. Cheney helped lead the push under President George W. Bush to invade Iraq based on intelligence ‒ later proven wrong ‒ that Saddam Hussein had amassed weapons of mass destruction. More: 'I was right about Iraq.' It was Dick Cheney's war, and he owned it until the very end. "Dick was a calm and steady presence in the White House amid great national challenges," Bush said in a statement. "I counted on him for his honest, forthright counsel, and he never failed to give his best." More: Dick Cheney, the most controversial, powerful vice president in US history, dies at 84 More: The Bush-Cheney dynasty isn't backing Trump. There's a time that would have been unthinkable The Iraq war took the lives of an estimated 200,000 Iraqi civilians and 4,492 U.S. servicemembers, and cost more than $700 billion. Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the longtime former leader of Senate Republicans, mourned Cheney’s death after “decades of deeply patriotic and highly capable service” to the country. McConnell credited Cheney’s “steady counsel” to President George W. Bush and “sheer force of will” after the Sept. 11 attacks with making the country safer. “As grave threats to our security continue to loom, his commitment to American leadership will remain a lesson,” McConnell said in a statement. – Bart Jansen Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-South Dakota, opened the Senate session Nov. 4, saying he was saddened to learn of Dick Cheney’s death. “Dick was a lifelong public servant who believed very deeply in our country and brought his considerable knowledge and intelligence to its service,” Thune said. “As the secretary of defense and later as vice president, he played a key role in shaping policy on many of the most consequential issues of the day.” He noted that Cheney cared "very deeply" about the country and " brought his considerable knowledge and intelligence to its service." Here's the speech: – Bart Jensen and Francesca Chambers Former President George W. Bush called the death of his former vice president "a loss to the nation and a sorrow to his friends." More: George W. Bush, family pay tribute to former VP, 'great patriot' Dick Cheney "Laura and I will remember Dick Cheney for the decent, honorable man that he was. History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position he held," Bush said in a statement. Bush noted that Cheney "earned the confidence and high opinion of five presidents," and recalled the conversations he had with Cheney when he sought his help in seeking a VP. They discussed "the qualities a vice president should have – deep experience, mature judgment, character, loyalty – I realized that Dick Cheney was the one I needed." The White House lowered its flags to half-staff on Nov. 4 in recognition of former Vice President Dick Cheney's death, although President Donald Trump has yet to address the news of his passing. Flying the American flag at half-staff is symbolic of a nation in mourning. Generally, flags have been flown at half-staff for the deaths of major officeholders like past presidents and vice presidents. It has also been done for days of remembrance like Memorial Day or the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. More: Dick Cheney's life once got Hollywood treatment with 'Vice' starring Christian Bale President Donald Trump has an antagonistic relationship with the Cheney family and has not commented on the Republican's passing by early afternoon on Nov. 4. – Francesca Chambers and Melina Khan Would the Iraq War, arguably one of the most disastrous and avoidable in American history, have happened without Vice President Dick Cheney's involvement? Historians may quibble, but a review of Cheney’s actions and statements appears to be a definitive no. Cheney was both a chief architect of the war and its most influential advocate in selling his boss, then-President George W. Bush, on the idea of a preemptive attack to topple Saddam Hussein and occupy the oil-rich former U.S. ally.It began with a two-day meeting of Bush’s national security team at the president’s retreat at Camp David, Maryland, just days after the al-Qaeda terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Read more about what happened next. “Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction,” Cheney told the assembled veterans. “There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us.”By the fall of 2002, Cheney was forcefully leading the administration in asserting that Saddam not only had weapons of mass destruction but that he might share them with terrorists. Cheney consistently pushed that intelligence, which was later proven to be faulty and at times politically contrived.– Josh Meyer From his early days in Washington politics to his stunning recent split from Trump-era Republicans, Cheney's life and career included an impressive range of leadership roles. Cheney served under Donald Rumsfeld in the Nixon White House in the late 1960s. After Nixon resigned amid the Watergate scandal, Rumsfeld became President Gerald Ford's top assistant, and Cheney Rumsfeld's deputy.He would go on to represent Wyoming in Congress and was re-elected five times. Cheney was later Defense secretary from 1989 to 1993 under President George H. W. Bush.Cheney's legacy is perhaps most defined by his actions in the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attacks on New York City and Washington. Earlier in 2001, Cheney took office as vice president under President George W. Bush. Going beyond other vice presidents before him, Cheney played an active role in shaping policy and strategy and was a key architect in the decision that would shape the Bush's legacy. – Jeanine Santucci Cheney was a hawkish, deeply partisan figure with broad knowledge of government and few qualms about the use of executive power. Bush nicknamed him "Vice" and "Big Time." His opponents called him "Darth Vader." With a wealth of experience far eclipsing that of Bush, a former Texas governor, Cheney's critics portrayed him as the driving force behind controversial security policies after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. These included "enhanced interrogation techniques" of detainees seized during the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, which investigators said amounted to torture. "He held to his convictions and prioritized the freedom and security of the American people," Bush said. Tapped by Bush as his 2000 running mate for his decades of Washington experience, Cheney was targeted by Bush's critics for the enormous role he played in shaping foreign policy. More: Dick Cheney's career highlights: Key moments from Nixon and Ford to the Bushes and Trump A Republican congressman from Wyoming in the 1980s and Defense secretary for the elder President George H.W. Bush, Cheney's first prominent role in Washington was as deputy chief of staff and later White House chief of staff for President Gerald Ford. "As a young White House aide and chief of staff, a Congressman, a Secretary of Defense, and my Vice President, Dick earned the confidence and high opinion of five presidents," Bush said. "I asked him to join my ticket in 2000 after first enlisting him to help me find the best running mate. In our long discussions about the qualities a vice president should have – deep experience, mature judgment, character, loyalty – I realized that Dick Cheney was the one I needed." After his two terms as vice president ended in 2009, Cheney became one of the nation's most prominent Republicans to oppose Donald Trump. Along with his daughter, Liz Cheney, a former congresswoman, Dick Cheney said that he voted for Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. "There has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump," Cheney said before the election, which Trump won. Cheney supported Trump's successful 2016 campaign. There was no immediate comment from the White House on Cheney's death. More: Dick Cheney's daughter Liz Cheney followed in his footsteps. Who is she? Around sundown on Feb. 11, 2006, then-Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot his hunting partner, prominent Austin attorney Harry Whittington, while searching for quail on a Texas ranch. As a covey of quail was flushed from a field, Whittington inadvertently got too close and failed to announce his presence. Cheney fired a 28-gauge shotgun, peppering Whittington’s face, neck and chest with birdshot. The hunting accident, first reported by the Corpus Christi Caller-Times, part of the USA TODAY Network, made national headlines and gained renewed attention amid the 2018 release of the movie "Vice," in which Christian Bale portrays Cheney. – N'Dea Yancey-Bragg More: Dick Cheney called hunting accident 'one of the worst' days of his life Cheney died due to complications of pneumonia as well as cardiac and vascular disease, according to a statement released by the former vice president’s family. His wife Lynne Cheney, daughters Liz Cheney and Mary Cheney, and other loved ones were with him when he died, the statement said. His family reflected on his decades of public service and his private life as a father and grandfather in the statement confirming his death. “Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing,” his family said in a statement. “We are grateful beyond measure for all Dick Cheney did for our country. And we are blessed beyond measure to have loved and been loved by this noble giant of a man.” More: Dick Cheney's cause of death confirmed by family He was the most powerful and the most controversial vice president in American history. Richard Bruce Cheney was a laconic one-time college dropout who found his place in Washington, moving to the capital as a congressional fellow and rising in short order to become White House chief of staff for President Gerald Ford, a Wyoming congressman in the House Republican leadership and wartime secretary of Defense for the elder President George H.W.

Senate vote fails for 14th time, ensuring longest government shutdown. Follow live updates
|
WASHINGTON – The ongoing government shutdown is about to become the longest in United States history, even as millions of Americans feel the increasingly painful consequences of the crisis on their daily lives. The Senate on Tuesday failed to pass for the 14th time a short-term funding measure, all but ensuring the shutdown will surpass the previous 35-day record. "I’ll be honest with you, I don’t think any of us expected that it would drag on this long," House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Louisiana, said at his daily briefing. "We couldn’t have imagined it’s now tied with the longest shutdown in history." Though lawmakers have said in recent days that bipartisan negotiations are gaining steam, no deal has emerged yet to reopen the federal government. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-South Dakota, told reporters Monday he’s "optimistic" that the government shutdown could come to an end this week and that lawmakers are "getting close to an off-ramp." Also on Monday, a bipartisan group of House lawmakers released a tentative framework for a potential deal that would extend expiring the health insurance subsidies that have been at the center of the shutdown debate. The legislation would extend the tax credits, which will sunset at the end of the year, for two years and include guardrails to prevent fraud. It's not clear, however, that the Senate would support the bill. More: Government shutdown tracker shows how your senators voted Read more: When will this shutdown become the longest ever? Very soon. No major agreement is expected Tuesday, especially while Washington turns its attention to a series of much-anticipated off-year elections in Virginia, New Jersey, New York and a major ballot initiative in California. Congressional Republicans have marked the contests as a potential turning point in their opponents' shutdown posture, though Democrats have refuted that notion. Still, Tuesday's shutdown vote results show how far apart Republicans and Democrats remain, especially amid widespread questions about whether the more than 40 million Americans reliant on food assistance could starve this month. Following a judge's order, the Trump administration said Monday that it would send out only partial payments to beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. "Providing partial SNAP benefits is a floor, not a ceiling," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, said Monday. "The administration must do more." The uncertainty for food insecure families is one of a number of pain points amping up the pressure on lawmakers to come together and reach a compromise. Funding for heat assistance is expiring, too. Flight delays are mounting. Military wages are still in flux. And lawmakers' own employees are going without pay, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of other federal workers who've been furloughed. "There are no winners in a government shutdown," Thune said Monday. "But there are plenty of losers." Election Day 2025: Why Trump's agenda is on voters' minds even if he's not on the ballot Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Tuesday the Senate could change the deadline for a short-term spending to reopen the government because the House-passed deadline of Nov. 21 is fast approaching. Thune said lawmakers are still discussing the best date to give lawmakers time to approve full-year spending bills. Options include a spending extension into early 2026. But Thune said “nobody” wants to keep the same spending levels for an entire fiscal year. If lawmakers in both chambers agree to a date, the Senate could vote on it and then send it back to the House for ratification. “There is a conversation about what the next deadline should be,” Thune said. “The date is something that is still being discussed.” Neighbors are helping fellow community members nationwide, signing up to be a grocery buddy and paying for food as SNAP recipients and others have lost their benefits during the government shutdown. People are connecting through social media posts or grassroots efforts within communities to provide food assistance, and a brother-sister pair also launched a website that can link up people nationally. Many of those participating also say they will continue to do so after partial or full SNAP benefits resume. The Trump administration has said SNAP benefits will be partially paid in November. - Betty Lin-Fisher Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy told ABC News over the weekend that he is prepared to shut down U.S. airspace if the shutdown drags on and produces significant safety concerns. "We will delay, we will cancel, any kind of flight across the national airspace to make sure people are safe," he said. Air traffic controllers and other safety-critical employees are working without pay while the government is shut down, and advocates have warned since the shutdown started that situation becomes more untenable the longer those employees go without a paycheck. While they will receive back pay when the shutdown ends, air traffic control union officials have said that their members may need to find other sources of income to bridge the gap in their families finances. During the 2018-2019 shutdown, air traffic controllers were largely credited with helping bring the stalemate to an end as flight delays and cancellations increased on the 35th day. Staffing issues have not been a major source of flight delays so far since the shutdown began, but the Federal Aviation Administration, which was understaffed long before the current funding lapse, routinely slows air traffic rates through airspace with limited controller capacity, and those kinds of isolated delays have occurred in various locations throughout the shutdown. - Zach Wichter White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters the administration is working to distribute partial SNAP food benefits as ordered by a federal court, despite Trump’s social media post that raised questions about those payments. “The administration is fully complying with the court order,” Leavitt said. But she said the contingency fund for payments holds only about half the $9 billion needed for monthly benefits. She said it would take time for officials to determine how to tap the fund designated for emergencies such as wars to provide partial benefits. “The Department of Agriculture put out guidance to states today about how to get that money to recipients of SNAP,” Leavitt said. “But it’s going to take some time.” In regards to the president's post on Truth Social, Leavitt said the president does not want to have to tap into the fund in the future and that was what he was referring to in his social media post. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries praised work from two House Democrats, Tom Suozzi of New York and Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, to come up with a bipartisan path out of the shutdown. The pair teamed up with two House Republicans, Don Bacon of Nebraska and Jeff Hurd of Colorado, to release proposed principles for a compromise as the shutdown wages on. The proposed principles include a two-year extension of health insurance subsidies and an income cap somewhere between $200,000 and $400,00 for the benefits. The subsidies, which are set to expire at the end of 2025, have been a major sticking point for Democrats. Jeffries said at a Tuesday press conference that Suozzi "is a great leader" trying to find a bipartisan path forward, especially when it comes to the health insurance subsidies. However, Jeffries also said he doesn't believe traditional House Republicans are "serious about doing anything meaningful." "It seems to me more likely that if there's a bipartisan agreement to emerge, it will emerge from the Senate, not the House," Jeffries said. Asked when he last spoke with House Majority Leader Mike Johnson, Jeffries said they had "a brief conversation last week." The National Council of Nonprofits, one of the groups that won a judge’s temporary order to extend SNAP food aid during the shutdown, decried Trump’s refusal to continue providing benefits. “Using food assistance as a political tool is reprehensible and must not stand,” said Diane Yentl, CEO of the nonprofit group. “The court’s order is clear – the federal government must act urgently to provide food assistance during the shutdown.” U.S. District Judge John McConnell in Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration on Oct. 31 to provide benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program from a contingency fund, which holds about half the $9 billion needed during a typical month. Payments halted Nov. 1. But Trump argued in a social media post on Tuesday that government lawyers didn’t think they could pay partial benefits. He directed them to seek guidance from McConnell and another judge in Massachusetts who ordered the benefits to continue. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared on “The View” on Tuesday, taking issue with her colleagues in Congress and mainly House Speaker Mike Johnson over the ongoing government shutdown. While Greene said she does still “love” President Donald Trump and “that’s OK” if he’s upset with her over calling out fellow Republicans, the Georgia congresswoman’s main problem is with Johnson. “Here’s something you may all not know about me: I think a lot of people on the Left are learning that when I ran for Congress in 2020, I ran criticizing Republicans and Democrats equally,” Greene said, citing her working-class background and experience running a family construction company. “The government has failed all of us and it purely disgusts me,” Greene said. “The worst thing that I just can’t get over is (Congress is) not working now and I put that criticism directly on the Speaker of the House.” Greene continued, telling the co-hosts that "all the people sitting in this audience, they go to work every day, people at home watching the show, they go to work every day. Ladies, you go to work every day.” "It is an embarrassment to me that we're not in session and getting paid," Greene added, according to ABC News. - Jay Stahl The Senate failed for the 14th time to advance House-passed legislation to reopen the government on the day the shutdown tied the longest in history. The 54-44 vote fell short of 60 votes needed under Senate rules to advance the bill that would have provided short-term funding through Nov. 21. Three senators who caucus with Democrats – Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada nad John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, and independent Sen. Angus King of Maine – have consistently voted with Republicans. But GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky opposes the measure for continuing to spend too much. That leaves Republicans needing five Democrats, who have insisted on increasing health care funding for Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, to reopen the government. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-South Dakota, said he was “optimistic” the handful of Democrats needed to approve the bill could begin peeling away this week, after Tuesday's state and local elections nationwide. President Donald Trump appeared to reject his administration’s plan to partially pay out SNAP benefits, saying in a social media missive on Tuesday morning that the program for low-income Americans would only be funded when the government reopens. “SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly 'handed' to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before!” Trump said. Trump sent the message just ahead of the latest round of voting in the Senate on legislation to reopen the government, and it was not immediately clear how USDA would respond. The administration told a federal court on Monday in a legal filing that it would use funds from a contingency fund to cover a $4.65 billion payment for reduced SNAP benefits for American households. USDA says the full program takes $9.2 billion to administer. Shalanda Young, a former budget chief during the Biden administration, told "The Briefing with Michael Waldman" podcast that Republicans should be governing rather than campaigning to end the shutdown. Young, the former director of the Office of Management and Budget, said the Trump administration needs to move past the partisan "getting elected" phase and toward governing. "That means sitting down with Democrats and finding a way out of this," Young said. "It does not mean just talking on television and saying my way or the highway." The U.S. Travel Association warned in a letter to congressional leaders that the industry has already lost $4 billion from the shutdown and travelers are rethinking holiday plans. The association, which represents 500 companies and organizations, urged approval of a temporary funding measure to resume paying essential government workers such as air-traffic controllers and Transportation Security Administration officers, who are working without paychecks. "Thanksgiving should be about spending time with family, not worrying about flight disruptions or canceled plans," said Geoff Freeman, the association’s CEO. "The damage from this shutdown is growing by the hour with 60% of Americans reconsidering their travel plans." The shutdown tied for the longest in U.S. history as it went into its 35th day on Tuesday. The other 35-day shutdown took place from December 2018 to January 2019 during Trump's first term. This current shutdown will become the longest ever if it continues into day 36 on Wednesday. Over the last five decades, every president except George W. Bush and Joe Biden has weathered at least a few-day shutdown. During their tenures, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama all experienced shutdowns lasting more than two weeks. - Natalie Alund Johnson is tying the enthusiasm of many New Yorkers for Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani to the federal government shutdown. In an appearance on Fox News on Monday, Johnson noted Democratic leaders in Washington are New Yorkers, and said the support for Mamdani made them fear backing a bill that would have kept the government open. "We know that Mamdani is, is expected to win the mayor's office," Johnson said. "That terrifies the establishment in Washington. Remember you have two New Yorkers in charge of both chambers." Schumer leads the Democratic minority in the Senate, while New York Congressman Hakeem Jeffries heads the Democratic minority in the House. New York City's mayoral election is taking place Tuesday. "They're worried about the political retribution from the radical left activists in their party, more than they're worried about an extended government shutdown that hurts real Americans," Johnson said. Johnson repeated the argument in a post on X on Tuesday: "Schumer is TERRIFIED of his radical Marxist base — led by the next Mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani — which has COMPLETELY taken over the Democrat Party." Democrats refused to support a Republican bill that would have kept the government open because Republicans wouldn't extend subsidies that reduce health insurance premiums for millions of Americans. The subsidies are set to expire at the end of 2025. Trump has been pressuring Republicans to abolish the Senate filibuster and put forward a new argument for doing so on Tuesday: winning the midterms and the 2028 presidential election. The threshold for legislation to make it to the Senate floor is 60 votes. Republicans need five more Democrats to side with them to reopen the government, unless they give in to Trump’s demands and eliminate the filibuster. Trump said Tuesday that upcoming elections will be "rightfully brutal" for the GOP if it does not eliminate the legislative hurdle. "The Democrats are far more likely to win the Midterms, and the next Presidential Election, if we don’t do the Termination of the Filibuster (The Nuclear Option!), because it will be impossible for Republicans to get Common Sense Policies done with these Crazed Democrat Lunatics being able to block everything by withholding their votes," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. Republicans' majority in Congress is in danger, and surveys this week showed Trump's approval rating dropping. "If we do terminate the Filibuster, we will get EVERYTHING approved, like no Congress in History," Trump said. The Trump administration said it plans to partially fund SNAP after two federal judges ruled the U.S. Department of Agriculture must use its contingency funds to cover food stamps during the government shutdown. In a federal court filing Monday, the administration said the USDA is complying with the order and "will fulfill its obligation to expend the full amount of SNAP contingency funds today." Map: Trump administration to fund SNAP during shutdown after court order; see who gets benefits Johnson on Monday said he hopes that Democrats will be willing to pass the short-term funding bill after Tuesday’s closely-watched elections. The gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey, as well as the New York City mayoral race are key elections that could be an early signal for the 2026 midterm elections. Currently, the House-passed short-term funding bill would reopen the government until Nov. 21. Democrats in the Senate have blocked the bill from passing as they push for expanded healthcare subsidies to be included in the spending agreement. Johnson said that GOP leaders are "mindful of the calendar" and it’s a matter that they’re "giving all of our attention to." The House Speaker has previously said he will not bring his chamber back into session until the government shutdown has ended. As Trump continues to call for the Senate to end the filibuster so they can reopen the government, Johnson said the rule is an "important safeguard" for lawmakers. "I understand desperate times call for desperate measures. I also understand that traditionally we’ve seen that as an important safeguard," Johnson said at his daily press conference on Monday. Johnson said he personally spoke "frankly and honestly" with the president about the matter over the weekend, who he said is "very passionate" about the issue. Senate Majority Leader John Thune made similar comments to reporters hours later.

Trump says SNAP will be half funded in November. What does that mean?
|
About 12% of Americans began the week waiting to find out if they would receive federal food assistance in November, the first time it was in question since the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) began more than 60 years ago. The Trump administration has been ordered by two courts to provide the funding, but it was unclear how soon people would begin receiving their food stamps and how much they would or wouldn't get. In the last week of October, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced it did not believe it had the authority to provide SNAP benefits in November because of the ongoing government shutdown. The Trump administration said on Nov. 3 that it planned to partially fund food aid for millions of Americans after two judges ruled it must use contingency funds to pay for the benefits in November. It could take days, if not a week or more, for the money to arrive. Two federal judges ordered the USDA on Oct. 31 to pay SNAP benefits in November, but provided conflicting routes to do so. Massachusetts federal Judge Indira Talwani said in a written decision that the government is required to use its nearly $6 billion in contingency funds to keep the SNAP program funded. She also said the administration is allowed to transfer other funds that come from charges on imports to supplement the contingency funds. The SNAP program costs about $9 billion a month. Talwani gave the Trump administration until Nov. 3 to tell her whether it would authorize at least reduced benefits for November and its timeline for determining whether it will also authorize full benefits. In a separate case, Rhode Island federal Judge John McConnell also ordered the administration to distribute the contingency funds and update him by noon on Nov. 3 on the status of that distribution. The administration responded to McConnell that it would provide half the usual benefits to SNAP recipients this month and was electing not to transfer funds from other accounts, such as the Child Nutrition Fund, to make up the rest because Congress has not promised to replenish it. Not necessarily immediately or completely. First, not everyone receives SNAP on the first of the month. When the benefits are deposited differs by state. Second, it will take several days, if not weeks or months, for states to reprogram their systems and work with contractors to release money to recipients, Patrick Penn, a USDA official, told the court. There are a lot of unanswered questions on what this will look like, said Colleen Heflin, co-author of the book "Food for Thought: Understanding Older Adult Food Insecurity." Will families with children and elderly people be prioritized for benefits? she asked. Will people who normally receive their benefit at the beginning of the month receive more than people whose state provides it toward the end of the month? Will recipients receive their full monthly amount if the government opens later this month? "We really don't know how this is going to work," Heflin said. No. The Senate did not vote on Nov. 3 on reopening the government. Democrats have refused to vote for an end to the shutdown until Republicans repeal cutbacks made this summer that would kick millions off Medicaid and end insurance subsidies set to expire at the end of the calendar year. These subsidies make it less expensive for low and middle-class Americans to purchase health insurance on the exchange. Without them, people can expect substantial rate increases, up to 300%. Heflin, the expert in older adult poverty, said low-income families are already budgeted to the limit and losing a portion of their benefits means they were already making hard choices. People qualify for SNAP by having a net monthly income at or below the federal poverty level. For a family of four, that is $32,150. For a single person, it is $15,650. "People are going to start making trade-offs. Right? So some households, they will immediately start paying not all of their rent or mortgage this month. They're not going to pay the utility bill in full or maybe not at all. They're going to think about whether they can afford to refill their medication," she said. She expects a surge in visits to food banks, as well as reliance on family and friends and soup kitchens. The current plan appears to use nearly all of the about $6 billion in the contingency fund, which is typically set aside for disasters or other unexpected needs. For this month, that will provide about half of what recipients would normally receive. No money will be left if the shutdown stretches into December. SNAP has never been a partisan football like this before. Yes, both parties have made changes, but presidents and Congress have always kept funding flowing to those who need it, including Trump in his first term, said David Super, a Georgetown University law professor and expert on public welfare law. More: Government shutdown gridlock means they're waiting for food in the cold "They all felt an obligation to keep the program running, and they all almost literally stood on their head to make sure that benefits would get out to people," he said. "This has been something that has not been political or ideological up to this point, and it would be tragic if we crossed that line and this does become something that's just part of partisan warfare."

My husband was in America legally. ICE abducted him to silence free speech. | Opinion
|
My name is Soumaya Hamdi. I am a mother of three children and a travel entrepreneur. On Oct. 26, my husband, British journalist Sami Hamdi, was abducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement without warning, while traveling inside the United States on a valid U.S. visa. My three children and I were scheduled to fly to New York for their annual fall break and reunite with their father after an extended period away on his speaking tour. We were all looking forward to finally spending some time together as a family and had the perfect family holiday all planned out. My eldest daughter jokingly suggested she disguise herself in a mustache and wig to prank him at the airport. But this was not to be. Just as I finished packing our suitcases, my phone buzzed. It was a WhatsApp message from a former client and friend: “Sami Hamdi has been detained in California. Confirmed by the head of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) L.A.… please keep him in your prayers.” And just below it: “Salam Soumaya, this was just forwarded to me. Is it true?” LA Mayor Karen Bass: Here's how we win against Trump's authoritarianism | Opinion I felt my stomach drop. I couldn’t breathe. My ears started to roar with the sound of my racing heart. I quickly picked up our 10-month-old baby and rushed over to Sami’s parents' house to break the news. Sami was travelling in the United States for a speaking tour, like he frequently did, that had taken him across the country. Sami was on a routine speaking tour in the United States when he was arrested – after a far-right social media influencer pressured the Trump administration to revoke his visa. Days later, in an act as unconscionable as it was surreal, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed on social media, of all places, that it had answered the call, as though this were a perfectly ordinary course of action. For days, we were left completely in the dark. When he was finally able to call from the detention center where he is being held against his will, he told me that he was forced into a black van by several men. To date, we have not received any official reason from the U.S. government about why Sami was detained, nor have any charges been made. Even the British government has informed me that they have not seen any evidence explaining why Sami is being detained. Sami is a respected journalist and a well-known proponent of Palestinian rights. He has been especially vocal during the genocide in Gaza that the state of Israel and its allies continue to carry out, finance and provide cover for. Sami is a British citizen who is eager to return home. He has a family that loves and misses him dearly and would like nothing more than for him to be released. Our children still wait for their father every night. Sami’s mom and dad can barely eat or sleep because they are so anxious about his welfare and well-being. His siblings and extended family call every day to ask when Sami will be home. Instead of detaining him, U.S. officials could have allowed him to take the next flight out to London. Why are they keeping him against his will? Why are American taxpayers funding Sami’s arbitrary detention when they could be used to support American citizens instead ‒ at a time when the American government has been shut down and millions of children risk going hungry by losing their food aid? The message is clear, and it’s chilling: Israel first. Criticize the state of Israel, and we will use American resources to silence you. Sami’s abduction is part of a broader pattern that has seen both permanent residents and noncitizens detained or face deportation in connection with their activism on Palestine or their Muslim background. American citizens detained: US citizens seek millions in damages after violent ICE arrests He is the latest in a long line of individuals abducted by this administration, in its systematic campaign to target, silence and make an example out of those who dare to speak up and use their voice and their platforms in support of Palestinian rights. These include the likes of Mahmoud Khalil, Mohsen Mahdawi, Rumeysa Ozturk, Marwan Marouf and Leqaa Kordia. Sami's abduction by ICE is not merely an immigration issue; it is about silencing political dissent to create a chilling effect. But this isn’t just about Sami. When a journalist is detained for speaking truth to power and advocating for what is right in a democratic country, we should all be concerned. Everyone should be able to express themselves without the fear of being arbitrarily detained for criticizing a foreign government. My message to the U.S. government is simple: Release Sami immediately – and reaffirm that America’s strength lies in defending freedom of speech, not silencing it, and in upholding its own national interest and values, not that of another country. Soumaya T. Hamdi is a mother of three and the managing director of Halal Travel Guide.

Remember the hateful Young Republicans group chat? It's the tip of the iceberg. | Opinion
|
In October, a conservative group chat leak pulled back the curtain on hateful rhetoric by leaders of Young Republican chapters and other party activists such as Paul Ingrassia, President Donald Trump’s failed nominee to head a key federal watchdog agency. Despite what top party officials such as Vice President JD Vance have said, these were not small mistakes made by young people. Rather, they’re a reflection of what the young conservative movement has become and what the party will look like in the future. These young people aren’t inspired by your grandfather's Republican Party; it’s a movement that sees “owning the libs” as their ultimate mission. Doing so justifies any rhetoric, no matter how offensive it is, as long as it is aimed at the left. If Republican leaders don't confront this head-on, it will cement them as the extremist party. I know these things because I’ve seen behavior like this at my conservative college, where right-leaning student groups often prioritize viral stunts, like hosting controversial speakers to trigger progressives, rather than organizing real debates about policy. It’s not about building a case for conservatism; it’s about shocking and insulting the other side. The group chats reflect this on a larger scale. GOP activists who have the job of shaping the party’s future would rather air hateful comments than do the real work of explaining how their party is best suited to deal with our nation’s most pressing problems. Opinion: JD Vance is wrong. I don't want racists and antisemites in my Republican Party. Before attending my Baptist college, I also saw this at my all-boys high school: Group chats buzzed with memes that started as “jokes” but ended up shaping worldviews. A classmate might share a post mocking “wokeness” to get laughs, but over time, the line between humor and hate blurred, and suddenly, slurs are just part of the vibe. This is the environment that produced the Young Republican leaders' chats on Telegram. Those leaders didn’t just stumble into extremism. They embraced it as a badge of authenticity. This obsession with owning the libs creates a permission structure for Republicans to say and do whatever they want, no matter how bad it is. At my college, I’ve watched peers defend inflammatory rhetoric by saying, “It’s just to make liberals mad.” But that excuse falls apart when you see how it hardens into something uglier. The leaders in the group chat weren’t just trolling; they were talking in a space where bigotry was the default and where “edgy” and straight-up offensive comments are a currency of status. The Telegram group leaders and Ingrassia didn’t invent this playbook, they inherited it from a GOP that’s leaned into divisiveness as a brand. And while Trump has led the way in breaking norms, others have contributed. When Vance said the group chat leaders were just “kids,” the vice president was signaling to young Republicans that there’s no line they can’t cross – as long as they support the GOP. This refusal to set boundaries leaves young activists free to veer toward the dark edges of ideology. The permission structure built around trolling liberals doesn’t just allow for people to be hateful ‒ it changes the way that the GOP will govern in the future. At my high school, I saw how this same exact mindset turned teenage boys who could be leaders into performative clowns who cared most about dunking on other classmates. The leaders of the Young Republican chapters operate on the same principle. The Republican Party of Ronald Reagan was able to make its points intelligently and with respect for those with whom it disagreed. But this is no longer the party of Reagan. It's a new party that argues by issuing insults and is convinced that you win when you're the loudest. This obsession has made the GOP’s youth more of a cult than a coalition. At my college, I’ve noticed how young Republicans often dismiss as RINOs (Republican in name only) those moderate voices who don’t agree with all tenets of the far right. This creates a situation where radicalism becomes self-reinforcing. Young men egg each other on in a contest over who can be the most audacious and unhinged. I've seen this in late-night dorm room debates that start with a "joke" about deporting immigrants and escalate into more and more offensive statements. Sooner or later, slurs and offensive language become the norm. It’s not about belief. It’s about belonging to a group that rewards those who go furthest. Opinion: I'm a college football player. Gambling apps exploit Gen Z – and ruin the game. The Republican Party stands at a crossroads. Activists like Peter Giunta, now-ex chair of the New York State Young Republicans who said “I love Hitler,” could soon be the ones leading the GOP. That is only a possibility because the Republicans are letting it happen. When Vance downplayed the comments in the chat, it showed his party isn't serious about confronting this crisis. They need to be. If not, the Republican Party will become the small tent party that fosters extremism and offensive language. Eli Thompson is a college student and writer focused on Gen Z issues. He's written for The Wall Street Journal; appeared on NBC Chicago, WGN and SiriusXM Patriot; and contributed regularly to a nationally syndicated radio show affiliated with CBS, NBC, Fox and CNBC.

The racism and extreme language revealed last month in the leaked Young Republicans group chat is not a small mistake by kids. I hear it regularly.

Older Americans own a lot of property. Do they know how to pass it on to their heirs?
|
Americans work hard their whole lives to buy a home – a small piece of the American dream – but many don’t spend enough time planning to pass it on properly to their heirs, resulting in disputes and even lost property, experts said. The silent generation and baby boomers own about $25 trillion in real estate, according to Federal Reserve data. That’s a big chunk of the $105 trillion in total assets researcher Cerulli Associates estimates will get passed down by 2048, but among the hardest assets to hand off, experts said. Real estate can come with a lot of baggage that should be hammered out before death, or there's a risk of it ripping apart families or the property being lost, advisers said. “Homes have so many memories, and parents want to pass them on to children and want them to continue to make memories there,” said Jackie Garrod a regional wealth manager at Northern Trust. “It’s near and dear to their hearts so it’s a big decision, but parents need to have a conversation with their kids. There may be concerns by kids that parents want to think through.” Some issues with real estate, especially if more than one child is bequeathed the property, include: Without a clear blueprint, the home parents want their children to continue making good memories in and share with their own kids could turn into a nightmare filled with angst, said Mark Parthemer, chief wealth strategist and Florida regional director at wealth management firm Glenmede. About 62% of older adults plan to leave their children real estate, but 42% of younger Americans said they wouldn’t feel financially prepared to keep and maintain it if they received it today, according to a survey of 2,000 Americans in August by online legal advice provider LegalZoom. Property taxes and maintenance costs topped the list of concerns, each at 20%. Existing debt tied to the property concerned 12% of young Americans, and 11% worried about the legal complexities of owning real estate. While homeownership has been a key way to build wealth, the easiest thing for parents to do is skip the property and instead, pass on liquid assets, like cash or brokerage accounts, experts said. They're easily valued, divisible and don't necessarily require ongoing maintenance, expenses, or contact with other heirs, experts said. “But some (people) are stubborn,” Parthemer said. If you’re determined to pass on property, proper planning that begins with a conversation with your heirs is essential, experts said. “Parents need to do fact-finding to put together a user agreement that allows (heirs) to know how to maintain or use it, how expenses will be paid, who does upkeep or if they will rotate managing it and get a salary,” Garrod said. Those intergenerational conversations are "the biggest benefit...to ensure continued success," Parthemer said. "Educating the next generation on what the plan is, how it’s structured and why prevents shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations.” After that, parents can weigh different ways to pass on real estate, including using a trust or limited liability company (LLC) or both, experts said. Each helps families avoid probate, which can be time-consuming, costly and public, potentially inviting challenges. They can also provide protection and tax advantages, experts said. An LLC provides liability protection, Garrod said. If someone falls on the property, personal assets are protected from a lawsuit, for example. An operating agreement isn’t required, but experts recommend one spelling property management and accounting, compensation, usage, owners and how shares may change hands if someone wants out. If the property generates income, the agreement should also detail how it will be distributed. Putting an LLC into a trust can provide additional personal protection, like in a divorce, Garrod said. Ownership in an LLC may be considered part of your estate and up for grabs in a dispute, but a trust could remove it. Trusts, irrevocable and revocable, can protect property in a lawsuit.

Why Trump's agenda is on voters' minds even if he's not on the 2025 ballot
|
President Donald Trump's juggernaut second-term agenda that has swept across the nation will receive its first major referendum as millions of voters flock to the polls for a handful of critical off-year elections. Democrats and their allies who have been locked out of power in Washington since January have scrambled to organize opposition in many ways, including holding marathon speeches in Congress, filing lawsuits against the administration's controversial moves and filling up the streets with mass protests. But the Nov. 4 contests present the clearest political judgment yet of Trump's expanding dominance to date that will also set the table for the future of his Make America Great Again movement, next year's midterm elections and the not-to-distant 2028 presidential contest. More: Clues for the midterms and 2028? Watch VA, NJ, CA now. (Maybe.) In every race, whether the two elections for governor in New Jersey and Virginia, the theatrical sprint for New York City mayor; or California's bold entry into the redistricting arms race, Trump is evoked, oftentimes to galvanize his supporters or alarm his opponents. These elections are going to also be used as a yardstick measuring the direction and success of Democrats, who are featuring two contenders - Abigail Spanberger in Virginia and Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey - who were part of the party's 2018 successes in combating Trump during his first term midterm election. More: How Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill hope to redefine Democrats in Virginia and NJ "What's interesting about both is that they really embody the first part of the political resistance to Donald Trump," said Matthew Dallek, a historian and professor of political management at George Washington University. "I don't think it's an accident that you have two candidates who emerged from the Trump 1.0 resistance who are both favored to win these really important off-year gubernatorial elections," he added. "It suggests that the kind of patriotic, pro-national security, tough-on-Law-and-Order mold still resonates within the Democratic Party, and it may well still resonate among the general electorate." More: Democrats face new dividing line: Cooperate or resist Trump 2.0? But part of the Democrat's yearlong re-brand is a growing and radical progressive populism embodied by New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, a socialist-aligned candidate who is winning over mainstream Democrats and on the verge of running the largest U.S. city after awakening the political left. As the president tests the limits of his executive authority and takes a bulldozer -- in some cases literally -- approach to changing Washington and the country, the ramifications for Republicans and Democrats are going to be played out in these results. Political forecasters and pollsters are mostly giving Democrats the edge in every race, and sweeping those contests would paint a more liberal portrait going into next year that Americans are increasingly dissatisfied with Trump's sterns actions. But MAGA activists and other conservative-leaning leaders believe that Republicans can stop that narrative from taking root in 2026, when Democrats hope to take back the U.S. House of Representatives. "If the Democrats don't win New Jersey and Virginia by significant margins, it's blunted," John Fredericks, a Trump ally and conservative radio host in Virginia, told USA TODAY. More: See why Virginia and New Jersey's elections matter this year Republicans see their best hope in New Jersey, where GOP gubernatorial nominee Jack Ciattarelli has fully embraced Trump and the MAGA presence in this campaign after rejecting him in his previous bid for governor in 2021, where he lost by a razor-thin margin. Trump has mostly stayed away from the campaign trail in 2025, but Ciaterrelli told the USA TODAY Network that he speaks to the president regularly, underscoring that any association with commander-in-chief must be handled carefully. Conservative commentators argue liberals should coast to victory in these two states given that Trump lost them in last year’s presidential election. If Ciattarelli prevails, it would make the 63-year-old former assemblyman a MAGA star and credit him with stiff arming Democrats. More: Who is Jack Ciattarelli, New Jersey's Republican candidate for governor? Most prognosticators don't believe votes will deliver Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears an upset over Spanberger in Virginia, however, and conservatives in the Old Dominion State talk more about other Republicans, such as lieutenant governor candidate John Reid, a rising figure in the MAGA ranks. In the race for Virginia attorney general candidate, for instance, Republicans have spent more on aiding GOP nominee Jason Miyares in the final weeks than on the governor's race. But the stability of Trump's coalition without him at the helm will be in question if Democrats win in New Jersey. That may explain why some allies such as former White House advisor Steve Bannon are pushing for an unconstitutional third term that the president has also toyed with at some points and downplayed at others. Trumpism's future will be as much a part of the national conversation in 2026 for Republicans as it will be for Democrats. On the GOP side, there are emerging cracks in the MAGA movement, whether it is right-wing gripes over U.S. ties to Israel; grumblings over releasing files connected to the Jeffrey Epstein child sex trafficking case; or rising concerns about millions losing food benefits or skyrocketing health care premiums amid the ongoing federal government shutdown. Maps: How Proposition 50 can change California elections and shift Trump's strategy But Federicks said a good showing for Republicans in any of these off-year races gives the president and his allies more enthusiasm, and will reverse concerns among GOP voters who fret that Trump's last two years in office will be a slog if Democrats did take back control of either chamber in Congress. "The national narrative goes from, 'Oh, Trump is done, they're going to impeach him' and they lose 25 seats to 'holy crap, here's two states that are not red that really seem to like what the president's doing,' and maybe they pick up seats," he said. Democrats are figuring out a much more compelling - and complicated - puzzle of their own going into next year as the Nov. 4 results will help show how the party is figuring out how it can outpace MAGA amid Trump's expanding authority as president. In one lane there is Mamdani, a 34-year-old member of the Democratic Socialists of America whose online fluency and pledges to attack New York's rising costs for regular people has awakened a new generation of progressives ready for their own populist movement. That rise is in sharp contrast to the Virginia and New Jersey campaigns, where Democrats have put forward less viral but more predictable contenders in Spanberger and Sherill. More: Is Trump on the ballot next week? How Trump looms in key elections in Virginia, NJ, NYC and Cal. The two former Capitol Hill roommates both have national security backgrounds and offer platforms that speak to the affordability crisis, too. But their messages avoid stark class attacks on billionaires and are more aimed at winning over swing voters rather than recruiting new supporters with progressive tilts. Sherill initially praised Mamdani's focus on costs and raising government efficiency standards, for instance. But the 53-year-old Democratic congresswoman who currently represents the New Jersey suburbs west of New York backed off in the last stretch of the gubernatorial campaign after a round of GOP attacks, telling reporters after her Oct. 9 debate with Ciaterrelli that she is "not getting involved" in New York's mayoral race. How Democratic candidates and incumbents responded to Mamdani served as a source of conflict during his campaign. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., finally endorsed Mamdani after weeks of questions and demands from the liberal base. Comedian Jon Stewart mocked Jeffries for his tardiness in an October interview, sarcastically calling it a "brave, brave endorsement" by the Democratic establishment. "We're living in an outsider moment," Adam Green, co-founder of the influential Progressive Change Campaign Committee, told USA TODAY. "Today's politics are not about left versus right. They're more accurately about outsider rage versus creatures of the inside." More: More than 1,000 US rabbis join letter raising concerns about Zohran Mamdani and Israel Progressives running in 2026 and beyond are on the lookout for a Mamdani win with 50% or more of the vote, as well as a possible Sherill loss. If that happens, the left is expected to try taking even bolder positions on populist values, such as challenging the role billionaires play in politics and the economy. Should Sherill prevail - polling indicates New Jersey is a dead heat - it will encourage more moderate voices in next year's midterms and beyond who will argue that outside of urban centers, such as New York City, the party must vie for less ideologically-aligned voters. An Oct. 29 survey by Quinnipiac University found Mamdani holding a 10% lead in his battle with Cuomo overall, and a commanding 28% lead among Democratic voters. But among independents the two were tied at 34%. Outside of the candidate-versus-candidates horserace, California's entry into the redistricting battle carries a much wider ramification going forward. Voters in the Golden State are set decide on a Nov. 4 ballot initiative, known as Proposition 50, that would allow legislators to redraw their 52-member congressional boundaries instead of a nonpartisan commission. Democrats are hoping to create five new seats out of California that would be in their favor. California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has spearheaded the fight, which makes this a national test of his political might that has been set up as a daring challenge against Trump and his allies as they pressure several GOP-controlled states to redo their maps in order to keep a majority in Congress. More: 'Democracy is on the ballot,' Obama says in new California Prop 50 TV ad Recent polling gives Proposition 50 the edge heading into Election Day, but political experts say the California governor will have to win big or risk losing some luster as he traverses through a shadow 2028 presidential primary that so far lacks a clear favorite. Other would-be White House contenders are also already making their own moves in the fall elections that could help set up possible 2028 bids. Former Vice President Kamala Harris, a fellow Californian, hasn't ruled out another White House run amid her book tour, but like Trump she's been off the 2025 campaign trail as Democrats still digest last year's loss. Others such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, are taking more visible roles that add to their profile. Ocasio-Cortez has been rallying for Mamdani in the New York City mayoral race and Beshear, who will be leading Democratic Governor's Association in 2026, has lent his voice to Spanberger in Virginia. Then there is Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, one of the highest profile contenders rumored to be running for president who faces a reelection bid of his own in 2026. He holds a 60% approval rating in his state, according to surveys, and has been wielding that popularity in state Supreme Court races this November that national Democrats have put their weight behind to protect Pennsylvania's 5-2 liberal majority. Keystone State voters will decide on Nov. 4 whether to extend the terms of three Democratic-leaning justices in a race that Shapiro has pitched as a referendum on "the threats to our freedoms." "They’ve proven we can count on them to protect a woman’s access to abortion and birth control — and stand up for all our freedoms," Shapiro said in a 30-second spot supporting the justices.

Turning Point USA gains ground in Maine in wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination
|
One idea seemed to be on everybody’s mind during the Cumberland County Republican Committee’s Friends of Charlie Kirk event on Oct. 21: revival. Roughly 200 people packed into Calvary Chapel of Greater Portland in Westbrook to learn more about Kirk, the right-wing activist assassinated on Sept. 10, and how the organization he founded, Turning Point USA, is working to expand its footprint in Maine. Attendees spanned all ages, ranging from teens to seniors, and included Republican gubernatorial candidates Bobby Charles and David Jones. Travis Carey, senior pastor at Calvary Chapel, led the group in prayer and called Kirk’s work a reminder that there “should not be a gap between politics and the church.” His church launched a Turning Point chapter in mid-October. And it isn’t alone. At least 20 Turning Point chapters have been established at colleges, high schools and churches across Maine in the less than two months since Kirk’s death. Those involved say they hope to see the groups spur conversations about transgender athletes, abortion, free markets and other conservative policy ideas. Kirk, who was shot while speaking at a college in Utah, founded Turning Point in 2012 when he was 18 to mobilize young conservatives across American college campuses. His online presence and openness to debate made him an influential figure in conservative politics, with his official memorial in Arizona drawing a crowd of around 100,000 people and featuring speakers that included President Trump and many of his cabinet members. In his debates and online videos, Kirk frequently invoked Christianity to oppose transgender rights and urge young women to prioritize marriage and have children before a career. He made a number of statements that provoked backlash, from saying some gun deaths were “worth it” to supporting the “replacement theory,” a once-fringe conspiracy theory positing that non-white immigrants are being planted as part of a plot to limit white Americans’ power, an ideology that motivated several mass shootings in recent years. While his group started with a focus on college campuses, it has since expanded. In 2021, the organization launched Turning Point Faith, a subset of church-based chapters focused on tying Christianity to American politics. And earlier this year, the organization branched into high schools, under the name Club America. Club America representative Grace Mack said there are now 18 chapters at high schools in Maine. According to an archived version of the group’s site, before Kirk’s assassination, there were just three. Representatives for Turning Point’s college and faith arms did not return requests for comment on the organization’s growth in Maine. At least four colleges have recently taken steps to organize chapters: Southern Maine Community College established a new chapter in September, while the University of Maine at Orono chapter, which had lapsed, received official recognition from the university in mid-September. Students have also received recognition from Turning Point for chapters at Thomas College and the University of Maine in Augusta this fall but do not yet have university recognition, organizers at each campus said. In addition to Calvary Chapel in Westbrook, Calvary Chapel Bangor also formed a chapter, doing so in the week after Kirk’s death. A staff member reported increased church attendance since then. New Beginnings Church of God in Waterville also launched a faith chapter, one that grew out of a group led by Kristina Parker, the 19-year-old communications director for the Maine GOP. New Beginnings Pastor Alan Imes said a number of other Maine churches have asked for advice on starting their own faith chapters but declined to identify them by name. Peter Bernaiche, a former Marine who enrolled at Southern Maine Community College to study computer science last spring, said he learned about Kirk a few years ago through work friends. He said he was drawn to Turning Point’s support of free markets, limited government and individual liberty. After seeing clips of Kirk’s assassination on social media, Bernaiche said he took a few days to process his shock before creating the SMCC chapter, which currently has about a dozen members. A broader southern Maine chapter, also headed by Bernaiche, has almost 40 non-student members. Bernaiche plans to host regular public debates and meetings for chapter members with a focus on “the goodness of conservative values,” especially on fiscal policy, which he believes will lead to a lower cost of living in the state. Young voters aged 18 to 29 have historically favored Democrats by wide margins, but that lead has slackened in the past two years, according to Pew Research’s National Public Opinion Reference Survey. Pew found that men ages 18 to 29 now favor Republicans by 18 points. Maine College Republicans has seen membership double since Kirk’s death, according to the group’s president Zak Asplin. Taylor Grant, president of Maine Young Democrats, said she’s also noticed an uptick in interest for Democratic organizing on college campuses since Kirk’s assassination, but said the party is “decades behind” in creating a unified organization to rally behind. “Young men today are looking for a purpose,” Bernaiche said, pointing to Kirk’s focus on traditional family structures and becoming leaders in the community as ideas that resonate with him and others. His chapter at SMCC faced some pushback during its launch. Several students spoke against the organization during a public hearing of the student senate, citing concerns that the group would create a “sense of fear and exclusion” for minority students, according to News Center Maine. However, the chapter met the requirements for recognition and was ultimately approved. At the October event at Calvary Chapel, speakers told the crowd that Cheverus High School, a Catholic school in Portland, had declined to officially recognize a Club America chapter, encouraging the audience to call the school and “fight for the chapter.” (Cheverus did not return requests for comment.) Conservative influencers and media organizations have pushed to fire or discipline people who have criticized Kirk since his death. In one case in Maine, a Kennebunk teacher resigned after allegedly making a post on social media criticizing Kirk’s statements on school shootings and the war in Gaza and writing, “Rest in hell, Charlie Kirk,” according to The Portland Press Herald. Turning Point maintains public watchlists for professors and school boards that espouse views that go against the organization, and it gives report cards to colleges and universities. UMaine and Bowdoin College both received F grades based on factors like requiring diversity, equity and inclusion training for staff and using bias reporting systems. Bowdoin also received low marks for its ratio of right-leaning to left-leaning clubs and failing to require “western civilization” courses. Some events connected to Turning Point have led to safety concerns. Bowdoin College canceled a vigil planned for Kirk on Sept. 14, citing “external threats” flagged by the Maine State Police, according to reporting by the Bowdoin Orient. The Associated Press reported that a number of people across the U.S. have been arrested since Kirk’s death for threatening violence, both against vigils held for Kirk and against other groups as “revenge” for Kirk’s death. Turning Point leaders in Maine have described Kirk’s death as the start of a spiritual reawakening. In late September, Parker, the Maine GOP communications director, led a memorial service for about 30 people in the basement of New Beginnings in Waterville, just over a week after the church paid her expenses to attend Kirk’s official memorial service in Arizona. “We’re having a mini revival, if not a great big revival in America right now,” Parker told the room. She pointed out the Christian music playing in the background of a tribute posted on the White House YouTube channel, calling it a sign that the Trump administration was “stepping up in boldness for the Christian faith.” Pastors at New Beginnings and Calvary Chapel said they’ve noticed an increase in new faces at their services in the weeks since Kirk’s death, particularly among college-aged people. Mark Brewer, a professor of political science at UMaine Orono, said in recent decades, denominations aligned with the left have declined as Evangelical Protestant churches aligned with the right have grown, noting that those religious institutions have helped increase conservative influence. Kirk’s official memorial service in Arizona fit the typical elements of a Christian revival, Brewer said, with energetic speakers using religious imagery to stoke enthusiasm. Brewer said he expects conservatives to “use Kirk as kind of a rallying cry” moving forward to maintain energy and “keep people committed to the cause.” At this point, Brewer believes Kirk’s legacy is “pretty much set in stone” as a hero for the political right and an incendiary figure for the political left. Even Kirk’s most inflammatory statements, on topics like the replacement theory, transgender health care and his belief that “large dedicated Islamic areas are a threat to America,” are unlikely to change minds, Brewer said. “Those ideas have come a long way from the fringe,” Brewer said. “Not only do I think that they are more widely held today, but I also think that it is seen as acceptable to state that you publicly hold those beliefs … We can put a lot of that at the feet of Trump and his allies.” Carey believes Christians in Maine are feeling emboldened to be “more outspoken for their faith,” he said, noting that he thinks the state’s policies on abortion, gender and cost of living should be addressed from a faith perspective. Imes, pastor at New Beginnings, said he believes that churches need to get “more involved in the democracy process and the political process,” and cited his opposition to transgender athletes, a key rallying point for conservatives in the past year. As for Colby DeLapp, a high school student and president of the York County Club America chapter, beyond building community and hosting events like voter registration drives, his hope is to see Christianity take center stage in Maine. “Really, what’s going to bring the most change in our country and in our state is bringing a revival of Christianity,” DeLapp said during the Oct. 21 event, applauding the choice to hold the event at a church. “Christianity is an American value, and we need to bring that back in our country.” This story was originally published by The Maine Monitor, a nonprofit and nonpartisan news organization.

NFL power rankings at trade deadline: Sauce Gardner has Indy rising | Live
|
NFL power rankings entering Week 10 of the 2025 season (previous rank in parentheses): Note: This week's rankings will be updated accordingly until Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline to execute trades during the 2025 season expires. The ▲ and ▼ symbols indicate subsequent movement by specific teams over the course of Tuesday. Check back here for further analysis regarding deals and how they might affect the positioning of clubs involved. For further insight into the day's trade activity, follow along in our live blog. 1. Los Angeles Rams (3): Has there been a more valuable player than QB Matthew Stafford? Is there a more imposing defense in the NFC? Since losing to the Niners in Week 5, LA has won its past three games by an aggregate score of 86-20. Next? An opportunity for payback at San Francisco. 2. Seattle Seahawks (6): Top five in points scored. Top five in points allowed. The league's best quarterback (Sam Darnold), according to PFF, and its most productive receiver, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, are also part of the package − one that's looking increasingly formidable and maybe even Lombardi-caliber, especially now that deep threat WR Rashid Shaheed is coming board to further penalize opponents overly focused on JSN. 3. Denver Broncos (7): They're now 4-0 in games in which they entered the fourth quarter trailing − quite the formula for taking control of the might AFC West. Yet still unclear if the Broncos are capable of staking the Silver and Black to such a lead in the Mile High City on Thursday night. 4. Philadelphia Eagles (8): They've seemingly been awfully productive despite not playing in a week − GM/EVP Howie Roseman adding OLB Jaelan Phillips and CBs Michael Carter II and Jaire Alexander rather than kicking back during Philly's bye. 5. Green Bay Packers (2): Can TE Luke Musgrave, who was taken one round earlier than injured teammate Tucker Kraft two years ago, finally flourish at a time when the Pack need him to step up? 6. New England Patriots (9): The only team that has yet to allow a running back to rush for 50 yards − and the Pats have faced the likes of Bijan Robinson, James Cook III and De'Von Achane. 7. Buffalo Bills (10): They beat the mighty Chiefs. In the regular season. Again. Yawn − unless this becomes the game that tiebreakers the dynasty home after Week 18. 8. Kansas City Chiefs (1): Travis Kelce joined Jason Witten and Hall of Famers Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates as the only tight ends with at least 500 receiving yards in 12 seasons. He should consider making all of them groomsmen − and could start considering save the dates for January. 9. Detroit Lions (5): After stumbling out of their bye, maybe they'll find a trip through the entire NFC East over the next five weeks will be a welcome respite from the unforgiving NFC North. 10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11): Hope they're rested and ready coming out of the off week, their next three opponents (Patriots, Bills, Rams) a currently a combined 19-6. ▲ 11. Indianapolis Colts (4): Six turnovers? Maybe they had a bad day. Maybe they were overrated as some (raises hand) suspected. Maybe it's a little bit of both. We'll know for sure when the varsity schedule truly kicks in after a Week 11 bye. But they're still the AFC's No. playoff seed. Technically. For now ... and maybe for a while longer with former Jets All-Pro CB Sauce Gardner joining the fold in Tuesday's shocker. 12. Pittsburgh Steelers (12): "That dude came in here, man, and gave us some quality work," coach Mike Tomlin said of recently acquired S Kyle Dugger. The question now is whether GM Omar Khan will bring in anyone else for a team that could still use help at receiver and in the secondary. 13. Jacksonville Jaguars (14): They have five more road games this season, three in domes and one in Denver. We want to see K Cam Little get a field-goal shot beyond 70 yards. Though maybe given Tuesday's acquisition of WR Jakobi Meyers, the Jags can get Little a little closer ... 14. Houston Texans (15): Three of their next four games are against AFC South opponents. Time for the reigning division champs to take it up a notch. 15. Baltimore Ravens (20): This bandwagon is picking up steam, though former Titans OLB Dre'Mont Jones was able to safely hop aboard Monday. 16. San Francisco 49ers (16): RB Christian McCaffrey now has 16 career games in which he's rushed for a TD and found the end zone on a reception. The Niners might need him to have another eight like that this season in order to remain competitive. 17. Carolina Panthers (18): If they're able to pump out two wins (but not three) over NFC South foes over the next two weeks, the Panthers will be in excellent position to chase their first playoff berth since the 2017 season. 18. Chicago Bears (17): Well, if the quarterback thing doesn't work out, Caleb Williams just became the first one in the Super Bowl era (since 1966) to catch multiples passes in a game. Team could probably use him at safety, too, especially after adding Joe Tryon-Shoyinka to its front. 19. Minnesota Vikings (22): Eighteen months (but just three starts) into his NFL career, and QB J.J. McCarthy has yet to pass for 160 yards in a game. It'll come soon. 20. Los Angeles Chargers (13): Sadly, the Joe Alt-less Bolts are a much different team than the the Joe Alt-ed version. Better luck next year, big man. 21. Arizona Cardinals (25): No truth to the rumor they're trading QB Kyler Murray to FaZe Clan before Tuesday's deadline. What, you don't follow esports? Elsewhere, the Cards leveled up in Monday's debut of first-round DL Walter Nolen III. ▲ 22. Cincinnati Bengals (23): Congrats to the only team since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to score at least 38 points in successive games … and lose both. Since the start of the 2024 season, Cincy has lost six games in which it's scored at least 30 points. It's enough to make an average back like Chase Brown start lobbing F-bombs across the locker room. Yet − credit to them − they've managed to unload an expensive defender who hadn't even managed to keep his job. ▼ 23. Dallas Cowboys (19): What a 24 hours for owner Jerry Jones. He saw his team get wiped by the Cardinals in front of a national audience on Monday night, then decided to start infusing talent into a 3-5-1 squad that's currently in 11th place overall in the NFC. The big move was acquiring Pro Bowl DT Quinnen Williams from the Jets in a move that's going to deplete the draft war chest Jones had loaded following this summer's infamous export of DE Micah Parsons. Prior to that, he'd obtained LB Logan Wilson, who's in the second season of a four-year, $36 million contract but lost his job in Cincinnati to rookie Barrett Carter. Maybe a D-lineman dropped by a team not exactly awash in talent and an off-ball 'backer − one who apparently wasn't good enough for the Bengals D and struggles in coverage − will be silver bullets for Dallas'. But don't bet on it. 24. Washington Commanders (21): A team that caught almost all of the breaks in 2024 can't find one in 2025 − now stuck in a four-game free fall and without QB Jayden Daniels for the foreseeable future. 25. New York Giants (24): For all the focus on their offensive issues and injuries, few defenses are worse than this one − and that's despite the star power it has up front. 26. Cleveland Browns (26): Kevin Stefanski just installed offensive coordinator Tommy Rees as the team's new play caller. So when will he install Shedeur Sanders as the new quarterback? 27. Miami Dolphins (27): As interim GM Champ Kelly begins selling off parts, maybe coach Mike McDaniel can rally the remaining troops given it seems the pressure's off of him now − at least on a weekly basis through the end of the year. 28. Atlanta Falcons (28): As Robinson goes, so go the Dirty Birds. He hasn't cracked 100 yards from scrimmage once during their three-game slide and has just one TD during that stretch. ▼ 29. Las Vegas Raiders (31): The defense has allowed an average of 29.5 points over the past six games … which would be awesome if they were the Cincinnati Raiders. Previously disgruntled Meyers hadn't done much over the past month − other than double down on his trade request − but apparently he showed the Jags enough in person Sunday to compel them to swing a deal, which is a pretty good one long term for Vegas ... if not immediately so. 30. New Orleans Saints (29): Maybe it's just as well that RB Alvin Kamara doesn't want to be dealt. He has 91 yards and zero touchdowns − total − over his past three games. Hopefully Shaheed enjoys the literally greener pastures of Seattle. ▼ 31. New York Jets (30): A 1-7 squad coming off its bye is just a few breaks from being 5-3 − such is life in the NFL. Yet apparently, life hadn't gotten so bad in Gotham, the NYJ are trading Gardner, whom they'd signed to a four-year extension just three months ago, to the Colts for two first-round picks. Also out is Williams, who's fetching a first- and second-rounder. The Jets also take castoffs Mazi Smith from Dallas and Adonai Mitchell from Indy. Bold long-term moves − remember how the Jamal Adams swap panned out year ago − if ones that invite more pain in the interim. 32. Tennessee Titans (32): Rookie Chimere Dike has nearly 300 more all-purpose yards than anyone else in the league. Of course, that's the benefit when your team is constantly scored on, necessitating 42 kickoff returns by Dike already. All NFL news on and off the field.

Google rejects Disney's request to restore ABC to YouTube TV on election day
|
LOS ANGELES – Google rejected a request from the Walt Disney Company to restore ABC to YouTube TV, the streaming platform Google owns, for a day on Nov. 4 to provide coverage of the day's elections. The two sides are mired in contract negotiations over fees to stream Disney's channels – including ESPN and ABC – which were pulled from YouTube TV by Disney on Oct. 30. Google has claimed that Disney is proposing "costly economic terms" in the dispute while Disney said in a statement previously provided to USA TODAY that Google is attempting to "undercut" deals it has made with other distributors. The tech giant pointed to other news options on the streaming platform and on YouTube in its response to Disney denying the request, published on YouTube's official blog Nov. 3. "In fact, on the last two U.S. election days, the vast majority of tuned in YouTube TV subscribers chose not to watch ABC," Google said. It added that Disney's single-day proposal would cause "customer confusion." Disney said in a statement provided to USA TODAY Nov. 3 that it asked YouTube TV to temporarily allow ABC to stream on the platform, saying it would allow YouTube TV customers "access to the information they rely on." "We believe in putting the public interest first and hope YouTube TV will take this small step for their customers while we continue to work toward a fair agreement,” the statement read. Google countered Disney in its response, calling on Disney to allow ABC and ESPN channels to return to YouTube TV while negotiations on the fees for the full suite of channels continue. "Those are the channels that people want," the tech giant said. Disney responded to the declined request by saying that Google has "a fair proposal on the table to restore our channels" in an email to USA TODAY. A variety of Disney-run channels have been pulled from YouTube TV. See the full list, per Google: USA TODAY will provide election coverage throughout the day with reporters across the country and streaming on USA TODAY's YouTube channel. The off-year elections feature Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial races and the much-watched New York City mayoral vote.

Jacoby Brissett and Marvin Harrison Jr. headline Cowboys-Cardinals winners, losers
|
The Arizona Cardinals snapped their five-game losing streak on "Monday Night Football" in Week 9. Behind a strong defensive performance, the Cardinals stunned the Dallas Cowboys, 27-17, at AT&T Stadium. Arizona's defense contained a hot Cowboys offense throughout the game. The Cardinals forced three takeaways and only allowed one touchdown in the victory. It’s the Cardinals’ fourth consecutive win over the Cowboys. The Cardinals improved to 3-5, while Dallas fell to 3-5-1 and now looks ahead to the trade deadline. USA TODAY Sports breaks down the winners and losers from Monday night’s NFC matchup in Dallas: Harrison Jr. had a breakout game that we’ve all been waiting for. Harrison equaled a career-high with six receptions in the first half alone. He produced 80 receiving yards and one touchdown in what was a stellar first half. His touchdown catch came on a filthy quick slant route that made Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland touch the earth. Harrison produced a career-high seven catches for 96 yards and a touchdown. Almost all his production came in the first half. Brissett recorded his first win of the season as the Cardinals' starting QB. Cardinals coach might want to seriously consider starting Brissett the rest of the way. Brissett completed 21-of-31 passes for 261 yards and two touchdowns. Arizona's offense has performed more efficiently with Brissett behind center. He’s passed for at least 260 yards in every start this season. Kyler Murray hasn’t passed for over 220 yards in five games this season. Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon has a big decision to make once Murray returns from a foot injury. Brissett did have a couple of errant throws, including one intended for Marvin Harrison Jr. in the fourth quarter that would’ve allowed the Cardinals to milk the clock with a little over two minutes remaining. Brissett’s 115.1 passer rating on Monday night was a season-high for a Cardinals starting quarterback. Arizona’s defense held the Cowboys offense to 122 total yards and no touchdowns in the first half. The Cowboys’ only first-half touchdown came on a blocked punt that was recovered for a touchdown. The Cardinals' defense didn’t give up an offensive touchdown until the fourth quarter. Aside from the block punt TD, the Cardinals defense held the Cowboys to 10 total points, 333 total yards and Dallas went 0-3 on fourth downs. Arizona’s defense forced three takeaways, including a forced fumble and game-sealing interception in the fourth quarter. The Cardinals' rookie defensive lineman made his NFL debut Monday night after Arizona drafted him 16th overall in the NFL draft. Arizona activated Nolen from the PUP list hours before the game. The start of Nolen’s career was delayed due to a calf injury he suffered before training camp. Nolen had a sack in his first NFL game. The rookie finished with four tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack and one pass deflection. The oldest active defensive player in the NFL tallied two sacks and three QB hits. The 39-year-old defensive lineman still makes an impact up front. Williams blocked Pat O'Donnell’s punt with his helmet, of all things. Cowboys’ Marshawn Kneeland recovered the football in the end zone. It was the Cowboys’ first block punt for a touchdown since 2021, per the ESPN broadcast. Dallas ranked last in the NFC in both total defense and points allowed entering Monday night’s Week 9 game against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals equaled a season-high 27 points on the Cowboys' defense. Arizona's offense was moving the ball down the field at will through the first three quarters. Dallas gave up 23 first downs and 340 yards. Arizona went 3-4 in the red zone. The Cowboys defense continues to be one of the worst units in the NFL without Parsons. Dallas has no impact players on defense after they traded away one of the most impactful defenders in all of football. The ESPN cameras routinely showed Jones in his owner’s suite at AT&T Stadium while the Cowboys trailed throughout the contest. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones appeared on SiriusXM Radio Monday and revealed the team already has a deal ahead of Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline. Jones didn’t disclose the player's identity but said he’ll be an instant contributor. We’ll find out soon if Jones' words on the radio are validated. The Cowboys need a lot of help on defense.

Boston Celtics suffer a heartbreaking 105-103 loss to Utah Jazz in game's final moments
|
Rebounding has been a point of weakness for the Boston Celtics early in the 2025-26 regular season, and it showed in the final moments of their 105-103 loss to the Utah Jazz on Monday night. After Jazz guard Keyonte George missed a potential go-ahead jumper with 3.5 seconds remaining in the contest, center Jusuf Nurkic grabbed the offensive board. He then put it back up for two, breaking the tie with just 0.6 seconds to go and effectively sealing the win. Boston was outrebounded 15-10 on the offensive glass and 40-26 overall. But despite these woes, it still had a chance to capture a win at home. The Celtics rallied back from a 7-point deficit with less than four minutes left in the final frame and tied the game thanks to a free throw from center Neemias Queta. The Jazz still had 23 seconds to work with after Queta knotted the score at 103. As a result, Utah elected to run the shot clock down before Nurkic sank his game-winning floater. Celtics star Jaylen Brown tried to make something happen on the other end, yet he was whistled for an offensive foul on the inbound pass and failed to get a shot up. Brown still led all scorers with 36 points and a plus-minus rating of plus-21. George led the way for the Jazz with 31 points and was just 4 points shy of tying his career-high. And, unsurprisingly, Nurkic grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds and recorded 11 points to complete the double-double. Following the heartbreaking loss, Boston is 3-5 to start the 2025-26 campaign. It'll have an opportunity to bounce back on Wednesday evening versus the 1-6 Washington Wizards.

4 snap count observations from Colts' Week 9 game vs. Steelers
|
Continuing on with our look back at the Indianapolis Colts' Week 9 performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers, let's highlight some noteworthy snap count figures. For the most part, when it comes to playing time, there aren't many huge surprises, but each week, even at the halfway point in the season, there are a few things we can glean. So, with help from PFF, here are a few quick notes from the Colts' snap count totals from Week 9. Jaylon Jones appeared in his first game since Week 1 after being placed on injured reserve, and he was thrown right back into the mix. With the Colts needing help at cornerback, Jones played 55 of the 62 defensive snaps and had a good showing. With Jones back on the field, he and Mekhi Blackmon were the two primary outside cornerbacks. Johnathan Edwards and Cameron Mitchell, both of whom had been relied on heavily, combined for just 10 snaps. Defensive end is typically a relatively heavily rotated position -- but not on Sunday for the Colts. Laiatu Latu played 55 snaps and Kwity Paye played 52. This meant that JT Tuimoloau was on the field for only 11 plays and Durell Nchami for two. Still trying to earn back playing time after the touchdown-turned-fumble against the LA Rams, Mitchell played just four snaps in this game -- although Ashton Dulin didn't have much of a role either, playing just seven snaps.

Is Election Day a federal holiday? Here's what to know.
|
Election Day 2025 is here, and while it's not part of the midterms or a presidential ballot, it doesn't mean it won't be interesting. Voters in New York City, New Jersey, Virginia and California will cast ballots on Tuesday, Nov. 4 for a mayor, two governors and a redistricting measure—an early test of Democratic and Republican strategies ahead of next year's congressional midterm election. Here's what to know before Election Day, including whether or not it's a federal holiday and how many days remain in 2025 More: 7 big questions hang over US politics heading into Election Day 2025 Federal holidays, also referred to as public holidays, are designated by Congress and recognized by the federal government. It's essentially a scheduled (and paid) day off for non-essential employees of the U.S. federal government. Federal employees typically receive 11 public holiday days per calendar year, plus an additional day on the day a new president is inaugurated. Election Day is not a federal holiday, meaning that U.S. banks, financial markets, major grocery chains, and retailers will be open for business. According to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, there are only three federal holidays left in 2025. See the calendar dates for the ones that are left below: Contributing: USA TODAY's Susan Page and Reuters

The Boston Celtics appear to have struck gold when they drafted Hugo Gonzalez
|
The Boston Celtics appear to have struck gold when they drafted rookie Hugo Gonzalez in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft. Fans of the storied ball club grumbled about Boston using a first round pick on the Madrid, Spain native despite the little playing time Gonzalez had at his last stop with Real Madrid. But since Celtics fans have had a chance to see Gonzalez in live game action in Las Vegas Summer League, preseason, and even starting a game early in the 2025-26 NBA regular season, opinions have largely done a 180. His frenetic energy, fierce pursuit of the ball, and uncanny ability to put himself wherever the thick of the action is, Boston fans simply cannot get enough of him. The hosts of the CLNS Media "Still Poddable" podcast, Brian Robb, Sam Packard, and Jay King, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!

Has Baylor Scheierman shaken off his early season slump with the Boston Celtics?
|
Some fans of the Boston Celtics might have forgotten that 2024 Celtics first round pick Baylor Scheierman was still on the team given how little playing time the Creighton alum has had to start the 2025-26 NBA regular season. Jokes aside, Scheierman has indeed been sparse on the court so far this season, but whatever he did to get himself into Boston head coach Joe Mazzulla's dog house, he appears to have done enough to earn some real burn lately. Most recently, that burn came in a 128-101 drubbing of the Celtics at TD Garden at the hands of a massive Houston Rockets squad. And while Boston did not get the win, the silver lining of it all is that Scheierman went off, leading the team in scoring off the bench with 17 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist while shooting 6-of-7 from the floor, 4-of-5 from 3, and a perfect 1-of-1 from the free throw line. The folks behind the "Boston Celtics" YouTube channel put together a clip taking a closer look at Scheierman's big game and recent solid play. Check it out below!

Kevin Durant thinks Jayson Tatum should take rehab day-by-day before Boston Celtics return
|
Almost as soon as we learned about the cutting edge surgery star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum received after injuring his Achilles tendon in the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series vs. the New York Knicks, speculation began to abound about when the St. Louis native might return to the court. Thanks to the "speed bridge" technique used on Tatum's torn Achilles, there is hope he could return early -- but the question everyone really wants the answer to is exactly how soon can he be playing at the NBA level again? After his Houston Rockets beat the pants of a smaller Celtics squad this weekend, CLNS Media asked Rockets forward Kevin Durant his opinion on when Tatum might return, and whether this season was feasible. "I think it's feasible," he replied. "I think it's good to have that option on the table — to know that he can come back." "But it's such a long way away from now," qualified Durant. "I just feel like take it day by day, see what happens with the team, see what happens with his body, and make a decision a little later." "But it's cool to keep it open," he added. "(Tatum) just loves to play, man. He's a gamer. He loves to hoop. I'm sure if he can get out there — no matter what the team's record is — he's going to get out there to play. Just the speed of the game, to be honest… pace is something you develop over time as you get more experience in the league." "Being out for a whole year, you miss that pace of the game. When I first came back, everything was fast. I was coming off of pin-downs 100 miles an hour. I was trying to score so fast. I was trying to contest shots without slowing down."

'No choice.' Trump urges New Yorkers to back Andrew Cuomo in late bid to block Mamdani.
|
President Donald Trump made a late bid to swing the New York City mayoral race, urging voters to back Andrew Cuomo in an effort to block Zohran Mamdani, a frequent target of the president's ire. Cuomo is a long-time Democrat and former governor of New York who is now running as an independent after losing the Democratic primary to Mamdani, a democratic socialist who leads in the polls. "I would much rather see a Democrat, who has had a Record of Success, WIN" than Mamdani, Trump wrote on social media, adding: "Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job. He is capable of it, Mamdani is not!" Trump's comments are his most enthusiastic so far for Cuomo, whom he grudgingly suggested would be a better choice than Mamdani in a "60 Minutes" interview that aired Nov. 2. "I'm not a fan of Cuomo one way or the other," Trump said, while adding he would prefer a "bad Democrat" to Mamdani, a state assemblyman who has pledged to stand up to the president. The Republican president also said in his Nov. 3 comments that a vote for the GOP candidate in the race, Curtis Sliwa, is a "vote for Mamdani" and continued to threaten to withhold federal funds from the city if Mamdani wins. "It is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required," Trump wrote. Trump is working to rally his supporters behind Cuomo in the final hours of a campaign that has emerged as one of the premier contests of 2025, with Mamdani attracting national attention and repeated attacks from Trump, who has portrayed him as too liberal. Polls have showed the race tightening. Cuomo told NBC News’ "Meet the Press NOW" in October that "I have not had a conversation, nor would I accept an endorsement from President Trump" as he campaigns in the heavily Democratic city, where the president is unpopular. Mamdani jabbed at the former governor after Trump expressed his support for the candidate on "60 Minutes." "Congratulations, @AndrewCuomo," Mamdani said on social media. "I know how hard you worked for this." Contributing: Eduardo Cuevas

Seahawks HC Macdonald highlights Tyrice Knight's readiness in locker room speech after win
|
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald praised linebacker Tyrice Knight in his locker room speech for stepping in to lead the team in tackles on Sunday night in spite of his tumultuous start to the season. Here’s the full speech: In his speech, Macdonald uses specific terminology to describe Knight’s readiness. “We’re talking about the ready squad, we talk about 70, we’re talking about 12 as 1- guys going out, guys stepping up, guys staying ready- that’s putting it to life right there. [But] This guy’s gone through some adversity, we call his number at the end of the half, he ends up leading the team in tackles with nine tackles. T-Knight, Tyrice Knight!” Knight was benched for Drake Thomas after a rough start to the season. But when Ernest Jones IV was ruled out with a knee injury last night, his number was called to step back into a starting role. He ended up leading the team with nine tackles while playing just 37 snaps on 65 total defensive plays. When Macdonald mentions “the ready squad”, “70”, and “12 as 1”, it’s easy to see why the young coach is creating a paramount culture in Seattle. The ready squad and 70 are obvious references to the practice squad’s 17 players, who have been called up and needed often and early this season. Josh Jobe was a practice squad member last year before being elevated due to injuries and has been a revelation in light of Seattle’s three highest profile defensive backs- Devon Witherspoon, Julian Love and Tariq Woolen- missing a combined 12 games through the team's first 8 this season. Cody White had his number called last night and caught his only reception for a 60-yard touchdown. Practice squad elevations have worked wonders for the Seahawks this season, and Macdonald demonstrates his belief in them by referring to his team as the “70” rather than the traditional 53-man active roster. He includes the hardworking roster bubble players by mentioning their importance to the team’s success just as much as the starters. This is how you build culture- because as the great saying goes, “a team is only as strong as their weakest link.”

Utz expands California and Midwest footprint with new distribution deal
|
Utz announced an expanded presence in the most populated American state as the Pennsylvania-based snack food company seeks to expand its snack offerings to the western portions of the country. In a press release issued on Oct. 30, 2025 alongside the company's third-quarter earnings report for 2025, Utz Brands announced the company had acquired Insignia International’s direct store delivery distribution assets. Insignia International, formerly the Flagship Food Group, consists of a group of nationally distributed brands primarily focused on southwestern and Hispanic food offerings. The acquisition, according to the release, includes distribution assets and routes across California and the Midwest. “We are also announcing plans to expand our presence in California," Howard Friedman, CEO of Utz Brands, said in the release. "With California representing the nation’s largest salty snack market at $4.1 billion, we see substantial white space for our brands."

In case you missed it: Kroger asks customers for exact change during penny shortage The acquisition comes as Utz continues to expand its distribution network across the United States, including a 2024 acquisition of distribution assets in Florida. The company, founded in 1921 by William and Salie Utz in their home along McAllister Street in Hanover, originally began its now-expansive distribution network with the pair driving their chips to local stores around the Hanover and Baltimore region, according to a history of the company. In its quarterly earnings report, the company shared that it saw the ninth consecutive quarter of volume share growth, with "productivity initiatives across the organization" contributing to their margins. During the third quarter of 2025, net sales for Utz increased 3.4% to $377.8 million, in comparison to $365.5 million in the prior year period, according to the report. In September of 2025, Utz announced the company is planning major investments and changes across its Hanover manufacturing facilities, including a brand new community center, the sale of two buildings, and an upgraded headquarters.

Commanders' Dan Quinn takes blame for leaving Jayden Daniels in game before elbow injury
|
Less than 24 hours after his quarterback suffered a dislocated elbow in the fourth quarter of a blowout loss, Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn squarely put the blame on his own shoulders for having Jayden Daniels in the game. Quinn opened his Nov. 3 news conference with a hefty dose of accountability. "I know many of you have been asking about the thought process of Jayden being in the game, in that situation and I get that," Quinn said. "I've been thinking about it, honestly, nonstop too. And for me the answer is, man, I missed it." Quinn explained his thought process. As the Commanders took possession trailing 38-7 with 12:30 left in the game, the plan was for the drive to be the last time Daniels and other players such as tight end Zach Ertz, wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. and left tackle Laremy Tunsil on the field in what was an eventual 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. "We weren't going to have any read-run plays, meaning no carries for the quarterback on a run," Quinn said. "And honestly, man, that's where I missed it. Of course (Daniels) can scramble. He's Jayden. It's what he's special at, and that is 100 percent – that's on me." Quinn confirmed that Daniels dislocated his left elbow and said there was no timetable associated with the injury as the team is still gathering information. Daniels had missed the Commanders' previous game against the Kansas City Chiefs with a hamstring injury. He also sat out Weeks 3 and 4 with a knee ailment. Cornerback Marshon Lattimore will miss the rest of the season with an ACL injury, Quinn said, and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey suffered a broken collarbone that will keep him out for an extended and indefinite period of time.
