Lakers’ Doncic has third 40-point game to start season, matching Wilt Chamberlain’s mark

October 31, 2025

Luka Doncic reaching the 40-point mark in a game is becoming a common theme through the early weeks of this season. Doncic, returning after missing three games with injuries, had 44 points in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 117-112 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night, topping 40 for his third straight game to start the season. The only other player in NBA history to do that was Wilt Chamberlain. Twice.

A Vermont cycling apparel company is trying to survive Trump’s tariffs. Will the Supreme Court help?

October 31, 2025

A small company in Vermont that specializes in women’s cycling apparel is at the center of the fight over President Donald Trump’s contentious tariff policy. Terry Precision Cycling is challenging Trump’s tariffs at the Supreme Court. The company has been hit hard by increased costs due to tariffs on imports from countries like China. These tariffs have forced them to raise prices and hurt their ability to compete. Terry Precision Cycling, along with other small businesses, argues that the tariffs exceed presidential power. The case could redefine the limits of presidential authority and has significant implications for the global economy.

Former jail building draws couples for Halloween weddings in Ohio

October 31, 2025

Nine couples got married on Halloween inside a former county jail in central Ohio that was decorated for the holiday. The Delaware County Historical Society has opened the former jail and sheriff’s residence to people getting hitched on Friday. Court employees wore costumes and decorated the space with pumpkins and a spider web. Couples were provided with a way to take mugshot-style photos. They capped the number of weddings at 10 but only nine showed up. There’s no word on whether the tenth bride or groom got spooked.

From the subway to social media, NYC mayoral candidates make their closing arguments to voters

October 31, 2025

The final stretch of New York City’s mayoral race has candidates Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo painting two very different pictures. Cuomo has offered a closing argument centered on the premise that voters must stop Mamdani from leading the city into ruin. He says he’s the only one who can bring things back from the brink. Meanwhile, Mamdani has moved to stay on message and maintain the excitement that’s made him a national progressive star. But he remains a polarizing candidate whose thin resume, democratic socialist affiliation and criticisms of the Israeli government have made some wary of giving him the reins of America’s biggest city.

NASCAR Commissioner Steve Phelps says the organization is working hard to settle a federal antitrust lawsuit with 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports. The teams, owned by Michael Jordan, Denny Hamlin, and Bob Jenkins, are suing over charter agreements. Phelps spoke at Phoenix Raceway, emphasizing NASCAR’s commitment to resolving the issue. Mediation efforts have failed, and the trial is set for December 1. Phelps defended NASCAR’s charter system, highlighting its benefits and the France family’s role in the sport’s growth. He warned that the lawsuit threatens NASCAR’s future.

“Where would America be without us?” A community of refugees is stunned by White House limits

October 31, 2025

In Minneapolis, where Somali refugees helped revitalize entire neighborhoods, the community was stunned by the presidential order capping annual refugee admissions at 7,500, the lowest number since the program began in 1980. Minnesota is home to the largest Somali community in the United States, roughly 87,000 people according to the latest census figures, most of whom live in the Minneapolis area. They have been coming to Minnesota, often as refugees, since the 1990s, drawn by generous social services and an ever-growing diaspora community. They have become increasingly prominent in the state. Somali-Americans have served on the Minneapolis and St. Paul city councils. They are in the state legislature. Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar represents part of the state in the U.S. House.

October 31, 2025

Police are investigating a burglary at a home reportedly belonging to Oklahoma City Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The break-in occurred Thursday night while the NBA star was playing against the Washington Wizards. Nichols Hills police have not confirmed the homeowner’s identity or what was stolen. Local news showed police at the scene. The suspects fled before officers arrived, and no arrests have been made. This incident mirrors a series of burglaries targeting professional athletes’ homes across the U.S. Thieves often strike on game days when players are away. The NBA has urged teams to enhance home security measures.

FDA restricts use of kids’ fluoride supplements citing emerging health risks

October 31, 2025

The Food and Drug Administration is restricting the use of fluoride supplements used to strengthen children’s teeth. The agency said on Friday that the tablets and lozenges should only be used in children three and older who face serious risks of tooth decay. It’s the latest action by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his deputies against fluoride, a chemical that is a mainstay of dental care. The FDA stopped short of seeking to remove the products from the market, which it proposed in May. Instead, manufacturers have been warned not to market the products outside the new age limits.

New Pentagon policy undercuts trans troops’ ability to ask to stay in the military, AP learns

October 31, 2025

The Pentagon has rolled out a new policy that will severely undercut the ability for transgender troops who have been banned from the armed forces by the Trump administration to turn to boards of their peers to argue for their right to stay in the military. That’s according to an Oct. 8 memo obtained by The Associated Press. The memo to all the services says that of military separation boards decide to allow transgender service members to remain in uniform, commanders can override that decision. That breaks with longstanding policy that boards act independently. It’s the Pentagon’s latest step to drive transgender troops out of the armed forces following an executive order from President Donald Trump.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs transferred to New Jersey prison to serve 4-year prostitution-related sentence

October 31, 2025

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been transferred to a prison in New Jersey to serve out the remainder of his four-year prison sentence on prostitution-related charges. The federal Bureau of Prisons inmate database showed as of Friday that the hip-hop mogul is currently incarcerated at the Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institute. The prison is located about 34 miles east of Philadelphia on the grounds of a military base. Combs’ lawyers had asked a judge earlier this month to “strongly recommend” transferring him to the low-security male prison so that he could take part in the facility’s drug treatment program.

October 31, 2025

An appeals court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration and stopped a judge from trying to get daily updates from a Border Patrol official about the government’s immigration crackdown in the Chicago area. The court says the order from federal Judge Sara Ellis violated the separation of powers. Meanwhile, advocates are suing federal authorities over conditions at a Chicago-area immigration facility. The lawsuit says people held in Broadview are being denied access to lawyers and facing “inhumane” conditions. The Department of Homeland Security denies the allegations.

October 31, 2025

The Jacksonville Jaguars have placed two-way star Travis Hunter on injured reserve because of a knee injury. Coach Liam Coen announced the move a day after Hunter injured his right knee in practice. Coen says it was a non-contact injury and that the team is “still assessing” whether Hunter will be able to play again this season. Coen calls it “a minor setback for a major comeback.” Hunter delivered a career performance in a loss to the Los Angeles Rams in London. The 2024 Heisman Trophy winner caught eight passes for 101 yards and a touchdown. Now, Hunter will miss a minimum of four games.

Federal judge rules Trump can’t require citizenship proof on the federal voting form

October 31, 2025

President Donald Trump’s request to add a documentary proof of citizenship requirement to the federal voter registration form cannot be enforced. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly on Friday sided with Democratic and civil rights groups that had sued the Trump administration over his executive order to overhaul U.S. elections. The Washington, D.C.-based judge ruled that the proof-of-citizenship requirement is unconstitutional because it violates the separation of powers. That deals a blow to the administration and its allies, who have argued that such a mandate is necessary to restore public confidence that only Americans are voting in U.S. elections.

October 31, 2025

A federal judge in Tampa has ordered the arrest of former Green Beret Jordan Goudreau after he failed to appear at a court hearing over whether he should be jailed for violating the terms of his release. Goudreau was charged last year with weapons smuggling tied to a failed 2020 plot to invade Venezuela and oust President Nicolas Maduro. He was freed on bond secured by filmmaker Jen Gatien’s $2 million dollar apartment, but she later accused him of threats and abuse. Prosecutors say Goudreau vowed not to return to prison and may flee the country. The judge issued the warrant after waiting 30 minutes for him to appear.

Trump opens door for Nigeria sanctions with religious freedom designation over Christian persecution

October 31, 2025

President Donald Trump has opened the door for sanctions to be imposed on Nigeria for allegedly failing to rein in the persecution of Christians in the country. Trump announced Friday that he would designate Nigeria “a country of particular concern” as it relates to religious freedom, a move that had been pushed by some U.S. lawmakers. The designation does not necessarily mean that sanctions, which could include a ban on all non-humanitarian aid, will be imposed, but it is one step ahead of that. “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria,” Trump said in a social media post. “Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a ‘COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN.’”

Federals prosecutors have charged an Alabama man with making threatening calls and texts to multiple rabbis, an imam and others in the South, including telling one that “I want you to die.”Jeremy Wayne Shoemaker of Needham, Alabama, was charged with making an Interstate Communications Threat. He was arrested earlier on related state charges of resisting arrest and possession of a pistol by a  person forbidden to legally have a handgun. An FBI agent wrote in court documents that the man made a series of menacing calls and texts to rabbis in Alabama and Louisiana, an imam in Georgia, a church in North Carolina and others. Weapons were later found in the man’s home.

October 31, 2025

Kyle Larson is stuck in a 23-race NASCAR losing streak. His momentum stalled after failing to finish both the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600. Larson has never experienced a slump like this. He admits it has affected his confidence. However, he feels his performance is improving as he prepares for NASCAR’s championship finale on Sunday. Larson is the only driver in the final four with a championship, which he won in 2021. He believes his No. 5 Chevrolet is running well and is optimistic about his chances. Larson has one previous victory at Phoenix, in the 2021 championship race.

NFL fines the Baltimore Ravens $100,000 over the inaccurate injury report involving Lamar Jackson

October 31, 2025

The Baltimore Ravens have been fined $100,000 by the NFL for incorrectly listing star quarterback Lamar Jackson as a full participant in practice on Oct. 24. The league disclosed the fine for violating the injury report policy Friday. A week earlier, Baltimore listed Jackson as a full participant and said he was questionable for that week’s game against Chicago. Then a day later, the Ravens ruled the two-time MVP out for that game and said he’d actually been limited in practice the previous day. Baltimore said the reason for the mix-up was that he’d participated in the entire practice but wasn’t taking starter reps, which made him limited according to league policy.

Wisconsin becomes the 36th state to limit cellphones in schools

October 31, 2025

Wisconsin has become the 36th state to limit cellphones and other electronic devices in school. Democratic Gov. Tony Evers signed the bill Friday. The bill was passed with bipartisan support. It requires districts to prohibit phone use during class time. Evers signed it despite some opposition from some Democrats in the Legislature who said controlling gun violence should be a higher priority than banning cellphones. This school year alone, new restrictions on phone use in schools went into effect in 17 states and the District of Columbia.

A tiny town in Vermont has attracted “Beetlejuice” fans eager to visit the film’s iconic locations for nearly 40 years. East Corinth, with its population of 1,500, has become a hot spot for spooky-themed road trips. The original “Beetlejuice,” released in 1988, was set in a fictional Connecticut town but filmed in East Corinth. Director Tim Burton chose the town for its unique charm. Resident Sarah Polli recalls the excitement and surprise when the film came out. Burton returned to film the sequel, drawing even more tourists. Fans from around the world visit, and a walking tour highlights the movie’s filming locations.

A Wisconsin judge has put on hold his order that requires elections officials to verify the citizenship of all 3.6 million registered voters in the battleground state before the next statewide election in February. It now appears unlikely that the case will be resolved before elections in February and April. It may remain in limbo beyond the 2026 midterm election. The state Justice Department, headed by Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul, sought the stay while the case is being appealed. The attorney for two citizens who brought the lawsuit did not object while several other legal issues are pending.

How hunger relief groups say you can help feed your neighbors if the shutdown pauses food aid

October 31, 2025

Many people might be wondering how they can help their neighbors put food on the table with federal food aid set to be frozen on Nov. 1. The U.S. Department of Agriculture plans to freeze the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, a cornerstone of the nation’s social safety net relied upon by 1 in 8 Americans for groceries. Philanthropy cannot fill that gap entirely. But there are ways everyday people can ease the hardship in their communities. Charitable food groups recommend donating money to food banks, volunteering at food pantries, joining mutual aid groups or giving directly to people in need through online fundraising campaigns.

Disney content has gone dark on YouTube TV, leaving subscribers of the Google-owned live streaming platform without access to major networks like ESPN and ABC. That’s because the companies have failed to reach a new licensing deal to keep Disney channels on YouTube TV. Depending on how long it lasts, the dispute could particularly impact coverage of U.S. college football matchups over the weekend — on top of other news and entertainment disruptions that have already arrived. In the meantime, YouTube TV subscribers who want to watch Disney channels could have little choice other than turning to the company’s own platforms, which come with their own price tags.

The Miami Dolphins and Chris Grier have agreed to part ways, ending his 10-year tenure as general manager. The decision comes after Miami fell to 2-7 on the season following Thursday night’s 28-6 rout against the Baltimore Ravens. During Grier’s tenure — he has been with the organization since 2000, and general manager since 2016 — the Dolphins recorded five winning seasons and three playoff appearances but failed to win a postseason game. Miami’s 25-year playoff win drought remains the longest active streak in the NFL. Champ Kelly will be Miami’s interim general manager the rest of the season.

LSU interim AD Verge Ausberry says the school’s athletic department ‘is not broken’

October 31, 2025

Newly named LSU interim athletic director Verge Ausberry says the athletic department is ‘not broken’ in the wake of his predecessor Scott Woodward’s abrupt departure this week. Woodward stepped down on Thursday night, four days after football coach Brian Kelly had been fired and one day after Landry asserted that Woodward would not select Kelly’s successor. LSU Board of Supervisors chairman Scott Ballard says Woodward’s decision to step down was a “mutual agreement” between him and the board. Ballard says self-generated athletic department funds or private donations will be used to a financial settlement with Woodward that is still being negotiated. Board member John Carmouche says Ausberry has “full authority” to lead the search for the next football coach.

A man on death row in South Carolina has chosen to die by firing squad. Stephen Bryant will be the third inmate in the state this year to be killed by volunteers firing from 15 feet away. His execution is set for November 14. The 44-year-old Bryant is being executed for killing a man and taunting investigators with messages written in the victim’s blood. He also killed two other men in 2004. His decision to die by firing squad may lead to a court fight. Attorneys for another man executed this way claimed he suffered before he died because the shooters nearly missed his heart.

A farmer who helped recover the bodies of those killed and a woman who lost her father, who have recently become friends, will be among those there for Saturday’s ceremony in Denver. Attention on the dramatic details of the bombing, the lack of a federal law making it a crime to attack a plane and the meticulous investigation into what happened has overshadowed attention on the victims and those they left behind until now.

Judges could rule on the fate of SNAP food aid as deadline nears for shutdown to end payments

Two federal judges could rule on whether the federal government must continue replenishing SNAP food aid benefits during the shutdown. The Trump administration says debit cards will not be loaded for November, a decision that impacts the ability to buy groceries for about 1 in 8 Americans. Lawyers representing Democratic state officials from across the country made their case in court Thursday to continue the benefits. A hearing on a similar challenge from a coalition of cities and nonprofit groups is scheduled for Friday. Even if benefits are ordered to continue, they’ll likely be delayed for many beneficiaries.

Americans staying put: US home turnover rate at lowest level in decades as housing slump drags on

October 31, 2025

The number of U.S. homes that typically changes hands as people relocate for work, retire or trade-up for more living space hasn’t been this low in nearly 30 years. That’s according to an analysis by Redfin, which found that only 28 out of every 1,000 homes changed hands between January and September. This decline suggests homeowners are staying put longer amid rising worry about the job market and economy, and affordability constraints to homeownership despite easing mortgage rates. The job market has slowed, with U.S. employers adding fewer jobs recently. Many homeowners are also reluctant to sell because they secured low mortgage rates in 2020 and 2021, making current rates less appealing.

Climbing monthly electricity bills, a growing stressor on U.S. families as demand surges for energy, have emerged as a significant issue in the nation’s only two elections for governor this year and as a test on the political parties’ messages for next year’s midterms. Virginia and New Jersey are less than a week away from electing their next governors in campaigns being closely watched for signs of the electorate’s reaction to President Donald Trump’s second term as well as the Democrats’ effort to respond after their national defeat in 2024.

October 31, 2025

Two decades after resigning as New Jersey’s governor in scandal and stunning the political world as he declared “I am a gay American,” Jim McGreevey is back on the campaign trail for the first time. He’s running for mayor of Jersey City, the state’s second-largest city. He says he’s running because he’s concerned that the city where he was born and has lived again since 2015 is at a “tipping point,” with pricy downtown high-rises driving housing costs higher, young people struggling to find employment and underperforming schools leaving children behind. Some of McGreevey’s opponents have seized on the scandal, arguing that his conduct as governor should disqualify him with voters.

The president of a prominent Republican-aligned think tank defended conservative media personality Tucker Carlson after he hosted a conversation with a far-right activist known for pushing white nationalist and antisemitic views. Heritage Foundation President Kevin Robert posted a video to social media in which he denied that the group was “distancing itself” from the former Fox News host after Carlson hosted Nick Fuentes, whose followers see themselves as trying to preserve America’s white, Christian identify. In his video, Roberts called Carlson “a close friend” of the think tank and said the Heritage Foundation would not be “cancelling our own people or policing the consciences of Christians.” Some Democrats and Jewish Republicans expressed outrage at Roberts’ support of Carlson.
