FDA’s top drug regulator resigns after federal officials probe ‘serious concerns’

November 2, 2025

The head of the Food and Drug Administration’s drug center abruptly resigned Sunday amid concerns about his personal conduct. A federal spokesperson said Dr. George Tidmarsh left the agency after federal lawyers began looking into “serious concerns about his personal conduct,” according to an official statement. Tidmarsh had been serving as the FDA’s top regulator since July. His resignation came the same day that a drugmaker filed a lawsuit against him alleging “false and defamatory statements” about its products. The drugmaker, Aurinia Pharmaceuticals, is chaired by one of Tidmarsh’s former business associates.

Wembanyama struggles, Spurs get ‘wake-up call’ in first loss of the season

November 2, 2025

Victor Wembanyama looked like an MVP candidate and his San Antonio Spurs appeared unstoppable through the first five games of the season. They ran into a bit of a reality check in Phoenix. The 7-foot-4 Wembanyama had a rare off night in San Antonio’s 130-118 loss to the Suns, finishing with nine points on 4-of-14 shooting. It was the first time he was held to fewer than 10 points since Oct. 30, 2024, when he had six against Oklahoma City. The 21-year-old Wembanyama never looked comfortable against a physical Suns defense, struggling to get clean catches in the paint.

Government shutdown could become longest ever as Trump says he ‘won’t be extorted’ by Democrats

November 2, 2025

The government shutdown is poised to become the longest ever this week as the impasse between Democrats and Republicans has dragged into a new month. President Donald Trump says he “won’t be extorted” by Democrats to reopen the government, making clear that he has no plans to negotiate. In an interview aired Sunday on CBS’s “60 Minutes,” Trump predicted that Democrats will eventually capitulate to Republicans. Trump’s comments signal that the shutdown could continue to drag on as federal workers, including air traffic controllers, are set to miss additional paychecks and as there is uncertainty over whether 42 million Americans who received federal food aid will be able to access the assistance.

Underwater sculpture park brings coral reef art to Miami Beach

November 2, 2025

A group that is pioneering underwater sculpture parks as a way to establish human-made coral reefs has deployed its first installation off Miami Beach. Last month, crews lowered 22 life-sized, marine-grade concrete cars into the ocean. The project was commissioned by the nonprofit group REEFLINE and will soon be seeded with 2,200 native corals that have been grown in a nearby Miami lab. It’s partially funded by a $5 million bond from the city of Miami Beach, but the group is trying to raise $40 million to extend the project along an underwater corridor just off the city’s 7 miles of coastline.

What’s on the ballot in the first general election since Donald Trump became president

November 2, 2025

Donald Trump features prominently in state and local elections happening Tuesday, a year after he retook the White House. These elections are the first general contests of his second term. The results could either support or challenge his agenda. Key races include the governor’s seats in Virginia and New Jersey, the New York City mayoral race, and a California proposition on redistricting. More than half of the states have contests. The outcomes could indicate voter sentiment toward Trump’s presidency and influence future political strategies.

Judge again bars Trump administration from deploying troops to Portland

November 2, 2025

A federal judge in Oregon has once again barred President Donald Trump’s administration from deploying the National Guard to Portland, Oregon until at least Friday. Trump appointee U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut issued the ruling Sunday after a three-day trial and says she will issue a final ruling on Friday. Both sides argued over whether protests at the city’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building met the conditions set out by Congress for using the military domestically. Immergut says she found “no credible evidence” that protests grew out of control in Portland before Trump federalized the troops.

November 2, 2025

San Antonio Spurs rookie Dylan Harper left Sunday’s game against the Phoenix Suns because of a left calf injury. The 6-foot-6 guard was playing defense against Phoenix Suns center Nick Richards when he tried to jump around him to deflect an incoming pass midway through the second quarter.

The No. 2 overall pick out of Rutgers played well over the first five games of his NBA career, averaging 14.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists. He finished Sunday’s game with 12 points on 5 of 8 shooting over 11 minutes.

Darnold completed his first 17 passes. At halftime, he was 16 for 16 for 282 yards and four TDs against Washington’s beleaguered defense.

Jayden Daniels leaves game after Washington QB’s non-throwing arm bends gruesomely

November 2, 2025

Jayden Daniels has left Washington’s game against Seattle with an injury to his left, non-throwing arm. Daniels’ arm bent gruesomely while he was being tackled near the goal line in the fourth quarter. The Commanders were down 38-7 at the time, raising questions about why Daniels was still in the game. It was yet another injury for the second-year quarterback in a season that has quickly spiraled for Washington. Daniels had just come back from a hamstring injury that caused him to miss the previous game at Kansas City. He also missed two games earlier this season with a knee injury.

Patrick Mahomes has one of his worst passing performances in Chiefs’ 28-21 loss to Bills

November 2, 2025

Patrick Mahomes wasn’t in the mood to look too far ahead following one of the worst passing performances of his career in Kansas City’s 28-21 loss to Buffalo. And that was especially true when the topic came to the potential of another rematch against the Bills in the playoffs. Mahomes said the Chiefs have to get there first. Mahomes finished 15 of 34 for 250 yards while completing fewer than 50% of attempts for the first time in his nine-year career. And the Chiefs dropped to 5-4 in entering their bye week. The Chiefs have lost five straight regular-season meetings against Buffalo.

Eight players earned the award for the first time. Bobby Witt Jr. and Maikel Garcia of the Royals became the first shortstop-third baseman teammates to win in the same season since J.J. Hardy and Manny Machado for the Orioles in 2013.

November 2, 2025

Caleb Williams has become the first NFL starting quarterback in nearly 82 years with multiple receptions in a game. Williams had two catches for 22 yards, including a 2-yard touchdown, in the Chicago Bears’ wild 47-42 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. The last starting QB with a two-catch game was George Taliaferro of the Baltimore Colts in 1953. Williams’ touchdown catch came on a play the Bears call “Hot Potato.” It’s their version of “Philly Special” play that the Eagles once used in the Super Bowl. Williams also caught a pass from backup QB Tyson Bagent.

Tyler Shough’s first start as Saints quarterback has glimpses of promise in 34-10 loss to Rams

November 2, 2025

Tyler Shough’s first NFL start was going to be a challenge and the New Orleans Saints didn’t help matters by giving their rookie just 40 offensive snaps to see what spark he might be able to provide. Still, there were enough positive glimpses from the second-round pick from Louisville to render the decision to turn to Shough something of a success despite losing 34-10 to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Shough was 15 of 24 for 176 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

Kyle Larson wins second NASCAR championship, denying Denny Hamlin in overtime

November 2, 2025

Kyle Larson has denied Denny Hamlin his first career championship at Phoenix Raceway. A late caution sent the title-deciding finale into overtime. Hamlin was three laps from shedding the label as the greatest NASCAR driver to never win a championship when William Byron got a flat tire and hit the wall. Hamlin led the field down pit road and got four new tires on his Toyota. Larson only took two tires in his Chevrolet. It meant Larson was fifth for the two-lap sprint to the finish, with Hamlin back in 10th. Ryan Blaney, who was eliminated from title contention last week, won the race.

November 2, 2025

Ryan Blaney’s bid to win a second NASCAR Cup Series championship came to an end with a bump by William Byron at Martinsville last weekend. The dejection didn’t deter the Team Penske driver once he arrived in Phoenix. Determined to finish his season with a win and put last week’s disappointment behind him, Blaney passed Brad Keselowski and used the late pass to win the NASCAR Series Cup season finale at Phoenix Raceway by 0.097 seconds. Kyle Larson won the Cup Series championship, but Blaney earned a little bit of redemption by winning the race at a track where he had come so close in the past.

A telephone message left Sunday with Nichols Hills Police Chief Steven Cox was not immediately returned. The break-in mirrored a slew of burglaries at the homes of well-known professional athletes across the U.S. in recent months.

November 2, 2025

Daniel Jones’ hot start cooled off considerably in a 27-20 loss to Pittsburgh. The Indianapolis Colts quarterback committed five turnovers. Jones threw three interceptions and fumbled twice, bringing back memories of his largely forgettable tenure with the New York Giants. Despite the miscues, Jones and the Colts believe the performance was a blip, not a sign of things to come. Coach Shane Steichen and teammates defended Jones, highlighting his 342-yard performance. The Colts dropped to 7-2 with the loss. Next up is a trip to Berlin, Germany, for an international game against Atlanta.

Joe Flacco and Ja’Marr Chase refuse to blame Bengals’ defense after another late collapse

November 2, 2025

Joe Flacco has led the Bengals to a combined 80 points in their past two games. Both of them have been losses, thanks to Cincinnati’s NFL-worst defense. On Sunday, the Bengals couldn’t hold a late lead for the second straight week and lost 47-42 to the Chicago Bears. Flacco says the Bengals win and lose as a team and there’s no point in getting angry at his teammates on the defensive side. And star receiver Ja’Marr Chase says he just tries to stay positive and not criticize others. The 40-year-old Flacco threw for a career-high 470 yards in the loss.

Henley said he was just floating with football the only consistent part of his life right now. His older brother was killed Friday night in Los Angeles. Henley traveled with the Chargers to Tennessee and started.

The end of federal food aid could hit Black Americans hardest

November 2, 2025

One in eight Americans use federal food aid but halting the SNAP program would hurt Black Americans more than anyone else. Problems with monthly SNAP payments would be part of the fallout from the federal government shutdown. Black Americans are less than 14% of the U.S. population but are more than a quarter of more than 40 million SNAP recipients. Historians and advocates say that’s an example of systemic racism. Even without formal prejudice, America’s long history of racism — from slavery to unfair zoning rules — has left Black communities with a series of major hurdles.

Jaguars’ Cam Little kicks a 68-yard field goal to break Justin Tucker’s NFL record

November 2, 2025

Cam Little of the Jacksonville Jaguars has broken an NFL record by kicking a 68-yard field goal. Little converted the kick at the end of the first half against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Justin Tucker had the previous record, a 66-yarder in 2021 that gave the Baltimore Ravens a 19-17 win over the Detroit Lions. While Tucker’s kick hit the crossbar, Little’s boot had plenty of room as it sailed through the uprights. Little came into the game having missed three of his last four kicks, including an extra-point attempt. But the Jaguars’ coaches insisted they had faith in the second-year pro, who hit a 70-yarder in the preseason.

The Falcons had a chance to tie the game after Michael Penix Jr. connected with Drake London for a touchdown, but Romo’s missed kick sealed their fate.

49ers fear rookie edge rusher Mykel Williams has a torn ACL

November 2, 2025

Mykel Williams suffered a knee injury in the San Francisco 49ers’ victory at the New York Giants. Coach Kyle Shanahan is worried the rookie edge rusher’s season could be over. Shanahan said the fear after Williams went down with four minutes left was a torn ACL. Williams was the 11th pick in the draft out of Georgia, selected to help their pass rush after going 6-11 last season. Nick Bosa’s season-ending torn ACL made Williams all the more important. Williams had 20 tackles and a sack before getting hurt.

Lions QB Jared Goff takes his share of blame for Detroit’s loss to the Vikings

November 2, 2025

Jared Goff knows he didn’t have a great game. The Detroit Lions quarterback wasn’t about to let coach Dan Campbell shoulder all the blame for Sunday’s 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. On paper, Goff’s numbers weren’t bad. He completed 25 of 37 passes for 284 yards and two touchdowns without a turnover. But he took a season-high five sacks, and the Lions went just 5 of 17 on third down. Detroit’s running game also struggled, leaving Goff in third-and-long situations against the Vikings’ strong pass rush.

Trump’s testing plans for US nuclear weapons won’t include explosions, energy secretary says

November 2, 2025

Energy Secretary Chris Wright says that new tests of the U.S. nuclear weapons system ordered up by President Donald Trump will not include nuclear explosions. Wright in a Fox News interview on Sunday clarified the Trump administration’s plans. Trump in a social media post last week said that he had “instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis.” Trump in the days since making that pronouncement had been coy when asked by reporters about whether he was ordering the resumption of explosive testing of nuclear weapons or calling for the testing of U.S. systems that could deliver a nuclear weapon.

He made one big mistake, getting flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after a touchdown. But his 19-yard run got the Panthers in range for the winning kick.

AP has declared winners in elections for nearly 180 years. This is why and how race calls are made

November 2, 2025

The Associated Press will compile votes and declare winners in elections across the U.S. on Tuesday, just as the news organization has done for nearly 180 years. The U.S. doesn’t have a nationwide body that collects and releases election results. Elections are administered locally, by thousands of offices, following standards set by the states. In many cases, the states themselves don’t even offer up-to-date tracking of election results. AP fills this gap by compiling vote results and declaring winners in elections — providing critical information in the period between Election Day and the official certification of results, which typically takes weeks.

Tariffs are Trump’s favorite foreign policy tool. The Supreme Court could change how he uses them

November 2, 2025

For President Donald Trump, tariffs — or the threat of them — can bend nations to his will. The president has used them not only as the underpinning of his economic agenda, but as the cornerstone of his foreign policy in his second term. Next week, the Supreme Court hears arguments on whether Trump has overstepped federal law with many of his sweeping tariffs. If the court rules against him, it could limit or even take away the swift and blunt leverage that much of his foreign policy has relied on. Trump has increasingly expressed anxiety about the case on social media and in speeches.

Government shutdown threatens to delay home heating aid for millions of low-income families

November 2, 2025

Millions of low-income families may face delays in receiving home heating aid due to the ongoing federal government shutdown. The federally funded heating and cooling assistance program, known as LIHEAP, serves 5.9 million households. Many of these families are also at risk of losing federal food benefits. States like Pennsylvania and Minnesota have warned applicants about potential delays in receiving heating benefits this winter. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services blames the delay and government shutdown on congressional Democrats. As temperatures drop, advocates worry the delay could have serious impacts on vulnerable households.
