The nation’s largest police fleet of Tesla Cybertrucks is set to begin patrolling the streets of Las Vegas in November. The fleet of 10 Cybertrucks was a gift from a billionaire venture capitalist for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill sees the addition of the trucks as part of a larger effort to enhance the department’s technology. The donation has raised concerns from government oversight experts about private donors’ influence on public departments and the boost to the Tesla brand. The department is the latest U.S. city to turn to Tesla models even as Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company has face blowback because of his work earlier in the year to advance the president’s political agenda and downsize the federal government.

Former President Barack Obama is urging voters to use Tuesday’s elections in Virginia and New Jersey to rebuke President Donald Trump and candidates loyal to him. Governor races in those states may signal the national mood 10 months into Trump’s second presidency. Republicans also were campaigning Saturday, but without national star power. Republicans sidestepped talk of the president and instead tried to localize the contests. On the west coast, California advocates are making a final push for a statewide referendum to redraw the state’s congressional map in Democrats’ favor. This effort is part of a national redistricting battle.

No. 2 Indiana bearly missed a beat without star receiver Elijah Sarratt. He left Saturday’s game early with hamstring tightness, but the Hoosiers still pummelled Maryland 55-10.

The twin crises at the heart of the government shutdown fight in Washington are coming to a head. The federal food assistance program is facing delays and uncertainty. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are set to see a dramatic rise in health insurance bills. The Trump administration’s plans to freeze payments to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program have been halted by federal judges. But a delay in payouts will still likely leave millions of people short on their grocery bills. The shutdown is the second longest in history and entered its second month on Saturday, yet there’s little urgency in Washington to end it.
Drake Lindsey scored on a 3-yard run in overtime and Minnesota denied Michigan State its first Big Ten Conference win of the season with a 23-20 victory. Michigan State (3-6, 0-6) had the ball first in OT but had to settle for Martin Connington’s 36-yard field goal for a 20-17 lead.

Fernando Mendoza threw for a touchdown and ran for one, and No. 2 Indiana remained undefeated with a 55-10 rout of Maryland. Mendoza recovered from an early interception, and he also had to play most of the game without his top target. Star receiver Elijah Sarratt left in the first quarter with an apparent injury, ending his nation-leading streak of 46 consecutive games with a catch. Still, this was another one-sided game for the Hoosiers, who since winning at Oregon have added victories over Michigan State, UCLA and Maryland by a combined 120 points.
Tai Baribo scored two early goals and the Philadelphia Union beat the Chicago Fire 3-0 to sweep the best-of-three first-round series in the MLS Cup playoffs. Philadelphia, the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, will host fourth-seeded Charlotte or No. 5 seed New York City in the one-game conference semifinals. Baribo dispossessed goalkeeper Jeff Gal, who started in place of the injured Chris Brady, at the edge of the 18-yard box and rolled his next touch into a wide-open net to open the scoring in the sixth minute.

He leads the field in the winner-take-all finale, competing against Chase Briscoe, William Byron and Kyle Larson. Hamlin, a three-time Daytona 500 winner, has a series-high six wins this season. Despite past setbacks, he aims for victory with crew chief Chris Gayle. Hamlin’s motivation is personal, as he wants his father, who is battling a serious health issue, to witness his potential championship win. This race marks Hamlin’s return to the championship field since 2021.
Concerns that antisemitism is on the rise among Republicans burst to the surface this weekend at a meeting in Las Vegas. It turned a conference of the nation’s leading Jewish Republicans from jubilation over a ceasefire in the Middle East into a clarion call to stem the spread of anti-Jewish voices in the party. The schism was laid bare by a conservative think tank president’s defense of talk show host Tucker Carlson’s controversial decision to welcome a far-right activist with antisemitic views onto his podcast. It prompted nearly every speaker to call for rooting out anti-Jewish elements in the GOP. The proceedings signaled the party has work to do to reconcile views within its ranks about the path forward for Israel in its relationship with the U.S.
Gunner Stockton threw two touchdown passes, Chauncey Bowens scored on a 36-yard run late and No. 5 Georgia escaped the rivalry known as the “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” with a 24-20 victory against Florida.

Georgia stopped Florida on a fourth-and-1 at the Bulldogs 18-yard line with a little less than eight minutes to go, a momentum-turning play in a back-and-forth game. It set the stage for Georgia’s fourth come-from-behind victory in six league games.

He missed the first 12 games after having offseason surgery on a lower-body injury and didn’t face his first shot until midway through the first period.
President Donald Trump will host Ahmad al-Sharaa for talks, a first-ever visit by a Syrian president to the White House. That’s according to an administration official. The official, who was not authorized to comment publicly about the yet to be formally announced engagement, said Saturday that the meeting is expected to take place Nov. 10. Trump met with al-Sharaa in Saudi Arabia in May in what was the first encounter between the two nations’ leaders in 25 years and one that could serve as a turning point for Syria as it struggles to emerge from decades of international isolation. The meeting, on the sidelines of Trump’s get-together with the leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council, was seen as a major turn of events for a Syria.
Day of the Dead commemorations in early November are a crucial religious, family and community celebration for most Mexicans and many other Latin Americans. This year in the United States, they are taking on a special significance because of the increase in immigration enforcement raids and other actions targeting Latino communities. Some organizers had worried that fear of deportation would cast a pall on public celebrations. But participants turned out in droves in cities big and small, saying the rituals brought a much-needed sense of resilience and community pride.

Texas extended its winning streak to four games and remains among the SEC leaders.
NASCAR Cup Series drive Kyle Busch and his wife Samantha are suing Pacific Life Insurance Company for $8.5 million over alleged deceptive practices. The lawsuit says the insurance company failed to reveal the true risks of the policies, along with providing false and negligent representations of what was supposed to be tax-free income for retirement. An independent firm told Busch that his policy would expire in 16 months and the $10.4 million he invested would be gone. The lawsuit also names the agent who sold the policy for steering them into an unsustainable, high-risk product, along with charging an up-front 35% commission they were unaware of.

It wasn’t so long ago that President Donald Trump spoke of building a legacy as a peacemaker. In his inaugural address, he said he would in part measure his success by “the wars that we end — and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.” But nine months into his second term, Trump is beating a curious path to executing his “peace through strength” foreign policy agenda. That’s a phrase he borrowed from Ronald Reagan, who saw building a strong military and economy as the bedrock to Soviet deterrence. Trump’s update on the Cold War doctrine includes sharper threats, bombings and no shortage of bravado.
A shopper who receives SNAP benefits slides an EBT card at a checkout counter in a Washington, D.C., grocery store

However, it’s unclear when benefits will resume, causing fear and confusion. Food pantries are seeing increased demand, with many people arriving early to secure essentials. The delay highlights financial vulnerabilities and the widespread need for assistance.

Police say the Boston Fire Department determined that the explosion was intentional, and officers did not find additional devices in a sweep of the building.
T.J. Harden scored on a 1-yard run in overtime, and SMU upset No. 10 Miami 26-20, handing the Hurricanes their second loss in three weeks and damaging their playoff hopes.

Harden’s score came on the last of his four consecutive runs as the Mustangs won their 13th consecutive home conference game a week after losing an ACC regular-season game for the first time in their second season since returning to a power league.
The San Francisco 49ers have placed defensive lineman Yetur Gross-Matos on injured reserve after he re-injured his hamstring during practice. Gross-Matos initially hurt his hamstring in Week 5 against the Rams and missed three games. He returned to practice Thursday but got hurt again. The 49ers are already missing two other defensive linemen, including star Nick Bosa. San Francisco ranks last in the NFL in sacks per game.

Sebastian Coe would love to see a cross-country running race brought back to the Olympics at the 2030 Winter Games. The World Athletics president believes IOC president Kirsty Coventry is open to exploring new ideas. Cross country was last in the Summer Olympics in 1924 but was removed because of harsh conditions. Including it in the Winter Games could attract more countries, especially African nations. Coe also mentioned the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, where track events will start in the first week. He highlighted a new event called RUN X and expressed excitement about the upcoming Ultimate Championships in Budapest.
A crowd of young people gathered on Halloween night in Washington’s Navy Yard neighborhood was run out of a park area by police and National Guard members. Authorities said some in the crowd were engaged in disorderly conduct. The Metropolitan Police Department says young people converged on the park Friday night. As night wore on, police said some people took part in fights, disrupted the flow of traffic and ignored instructions to remain on sidewalks. A video posted on X captured the chaotic scene as people in uniforms ran on foot after those who had gathered there. At least five people ranging in age from 14 to 18 were arrested.

Murray has been listed as limited on this week’s practice reports. The two-time Pro Bowl selection hasn’t played since Oct. 5 against the Tennessee Titans.

Warren Buffett’s company’s profits improved 17% thanks to a relatively mild hurricane season and more paper investment gains this year as Berkshire Hathaway continues to prepare for the legendary 95-year-old investor to relinquish the CEO title in January. But last month’s $9.7 billion investment in OxyChem won’t do much to diminish the $381.7 billion cash pile that Berkshire was sitting on at the end of September even though it is the biggest deal the company has made in years. The biggest thing on most investors’ minds right now is that Buffett Vice Chair Greg Abel is set to succeed Buffett as CEO in January although Buffett will remain chairman
A large-scale carbon capture pipeline began operating in the Midwest in September, succeeding where others have so far fallen short. Tallgrass’ Trailblazer Pipeline will carry carbon dioxide emissions from 12 ethanol plants in Nebraska and Iowa for permanent burial underground in Wyoming. Other projects, such as one proposed by Summit Carbon Solutions, have struggled to get fully approved. Observers says Tallgrass had a couple advantages, such as converting an existing natural gas line and negotiating with an advocacy group that has opposed other pipelines to establish an investment fund for communities along the route.
The closest supermoon of the year is approaching in November. It happens when a full moon is closer to Earth in its orbit, making it appear slightly bigger and brighter. Wednesday’s event is the second of three supermoons this year and also the closest. The moon will come within just under 222,000 miles of Earth. The change in the moon’s size can be tough to discern with the naked eye. Supermoons happen a few times a year. A supermoon in October made the moon look somewhat larger. The last supermoon of the year will rise in December.
A recent FBI-led raid at an Idaho race track shows how immigration is driving federal law enforcement under the Trump administration. More than 200 officers from at least 14 agencies, including U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol, detained around 400 people. The Oct. 19 operation resulted in just four gambling-related arrests, while 105 people were arrested on suspicion of immigration violations. Local police also participated. Witnesses reported aggressive tactics, including zip-tying children. It’s unclear which agency the officers who detained the children were from. The FBI initially said no aggressive tactics were used on children but later amended that statement to say “young children.”

November 10th marks the 50th anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, perhaps the most famous of all the estimated 6,500 ships that have gone down in the Great Lakes. The Fitzgerald is remembered while others are forgotten, thanks in large part to Gordon Lightfoot’s 1976 haunting folk ballad memorializing the wreck. The Fitzgerald was the largest ship ever to sink on the Great Lakes. All 29 members on board died. Family members of the crew and those still fascinated by the historic sinking gather each year for ceremonies at cities around the Great Lakes.
