Brissett fills in for Murray again as Cardinals end 5-game skid with 27-17 victory over Cowboys

November 3, 2025

Jacoby Brissett threw for two touchdowns and ran for a score filling in again for Kyler Murray, and the Arizona Cardinals stopped a five-game losing streak with a 27-17 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Brissett made his third consecutive start after the week began with expectations of Murray returning from a foot injury coming off the team’s open week. Instead, the Cardinals pivoted to Brissett. Arizona won for just the second time in the past 18 games when Murray didn’t take at least five snaps or sat out entirely. The Cowboys couldn’t build on the momentum of Sam Williams’ blocked punt that was recovered in the end zone by Marshawn Kneeland.

Trump’s strength, Democrats’ message and the shutdown effect. What to watch on Election Day 2025

November 3, 2025

Voters head to polls Tuesday in America’s first major election day since President Donald Trump returned to the White House. The Republican president did not hit the campaign trail to help his party’s candidates or causes. But his leadership and policies dominated the debate virtually everywhere. No contests are bigger than governor’s races in New Jersey and Virginia, the only two this year. The GOP candidates in both states closely aligned themselves with Trump. Strong Democratic showings could provide the party a pathway back to national relevance — even if its top candidates have taken very different approaches.

California voters take up Democrats’ push for new congressional maps that could shape House control

November 3, 2025

California voters are deciding whether to change their state’s congressional district boundaries to favor Democrats. This decision Tuesday could impact next year’s midterms and beyond. California, with its 52 districts, offers Democrats a major opportunity in the ongoing redistricting battle. Texas Republicans have already redrawn boundaries to help the GOP retain its House majority. Democrats need to gain three seats in the 2026 elections to take control of the House. Proposition 50, supported by Gov. Gavin Newsom and former President Barack Obama, aims to replace maps drawn by an independent commission with more partisan ones. Critics, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, oppose this move.

Mamdani and Cuomo face off as New York City chooses new mayor, while Sliwa hopes for an upset

November 3, 2025

New York City voters are choosing their next mayor, as Zohran Mamdani faces former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in a generational battle between Democrats while Republican Curtis Sliwa tries to land a massive upset. A victory for Mamdani in Tuesday’s election would give the city its first Muslim mayor and its youngest leader in generations, while giving his brand of economic populism one of the most visible political perches in America. If Cuomo wins, he will have staged a remarkable political comeback after resigning as governor over a barrage of sexual harassment allegations four years ago. Sliwa faces tough odds as a Republican in a heavily Democratic city. Polls close at 9 p.m.

Trump’s policies and inflation drive governor’s race in New Jersey, where GOP has been making gains

November 3, 2025

New Jersey voters are electing their next governor in a race that will reveal whether Democrats still have a grip on a state that has been reliably blue in recent years but has shown signs of shifting toward Republicans. Former state legislator Jack Ciattarelli is endorsed by President Donald Trump. He’s trying to become New Jersey’s first Republican governor since 2018. Ciattarelli faces U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat in her fourth term in Congress. If elected, she would become the state’s second female governor. The outcome could gauge how the electorate is responding to Trump’s policies and whether some groups of core Democratic Party voters still have faith in the party’s leadership.

Maine and Texas consider Republican-backed election proposals on voter ID, noncitizen voting

November 3, 2025

Voters in Maine and Texas are deciding whether to enact new Republican-backed measures that supporters say would help safeguard elections, but which opponents believe are intended to make voting more difficult. The Texas proposal would amend the state constitution to add people who aren’t citizens of the United States to the list of those excluded from participating in elections. Meanwhile, Maine’s proposal would implement a photo ID requirement for voters, limit the use of drop boxes for returning completed ballots and make several changes to the state’s absentee voting system.

Virginia governor’s race will test Trump and Democrats nationally — and make history

November 3, 2025

Democrat Abigail Spanberger is facing Republican Winsome Earle-Sears in the Virginia race for governor. The outcome guarantees that Virginia will have a woman as governor for the first time and serves as a test of how voters feel about Donald Trump’s presidency. Earle-Sears has had to campaign with only tepid support from Trump, who did not even say her name in a telephone town hall on the eve of the election. Spanberger is a former congresswoman and CIA case officer who offers a model for Democrats who want the party anchored by center-left candidates. Spanberger has tied Earle-Sears to Trump but kept her arguments mostly on Trump’s economic policy and her support for abortion rights.

Maine to vote on proposed red flag gun law inspired by mass shooting that killed 18

November 3, 2025

Two years after the deadliest mass shooting in Maine’s history, voters are considering whether to make it easier for family members to petition a court to restrict a potentially dangerous person’s access to guns. A statewide ballot question Tuesday asks residents if they want to build on the state’s yellow flag law, which allows police officers to initiate a process to keep someone away from firearms. Approval would add Maine to more than 20 states that have a red flag law. Gun safety advocates began pushing for that after 18 people were killed in the Lewiston shooting in 2023.

November 3, 2025

Kansas freshman Darryn Peterson made his presence felt in an abbreviated showing against Green Bay in the teams’ season opener on Monday night. Peterson, a potential No. 1 pick in next summer’s NBA draft, scored 21 points in 22 minutes in his debut for the No. 19 Jayhawks in a 94-51 win over Green Bay. Green Bay coach Doug Gottlieb called Peterson’s performance ‘literally the easiest 21 points.’

Marvin Harrison Jr. converts long 3rd downs and scores TD for Cardinals in 27-17 win over Cowboys

November 3, 2025

All three catches Marvin Harrison Jr. had in the first quarter converted long third downs for the Arizona Cardinals. That certainly helped set an early tone against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. Harrison went on to a career-high seven catches for 96 yards, including a 4-yarder from backup quarterback Jacob Brissett for the game’s touchdown, and the Cardinals finished 7-of-9 on third-down conversions in the first half of a 27-17 win that ended their five-game losing streak. After the three early conversions, Harrison had a 4-yard TD catch early in the second quarter that put Arizona ahead 10-0.

November 3, 2025

Arizona freshman Koa Peat had a chip on his shoulder before making his college debut on Monday. Feeling a bit neglected in Switzerland while playing for the USA 19-and-under team, the three-time Arizona Gatorade Player of the Year said he was going to remind people he was one of the best incoming freshmen, despite not playing in the McDonald’s All-American Game or at the Nike Hoop Summit. He did that by scoring 30 points to lead No. 13 Arizona to a 93-87 win over defending national champion and No. 3 Florida in the Hall of Fame Series.

Trump’s not going to the Supreme Court hearing on tariffs. But his treasury secretary will be there

November 3, 2025

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says he plans to take a “ringside seat” at the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday. That’s when the justices are set to hear arguments on whether President Donald Trump overstepped federal law in setting many of his sweeping tariffs. Trump had said he wanted to go to the arguments in person. But this weekend, he ruled it out, saying he didn’t want to be a distraction. Bessent told Fox News Channel the case was critical, calling it a “matter of national security.” Lower courts have said Trump overstepped his powers when he set the tariffs, but left them in place pending the Supreme Court’s decision.

November 3, 2025

Freshman Koa Peat scored 30 points to lead No. 13 Arizona to a 93-87 win over third-ranked and defending national champion Florida in the Hall of Fame Series on Monday night. Peat was impressive in his college debut, shooting 11 of 18 from the floor and adding seven rebounds and five assists. He was fouled making a defensive rebound with 14.2 seconds left and made his two ensuing free throws to seal the victory in both teams’ season opener. Jaden Bradley scored 27 points, including 11 of Arizona’s final 18 points, to help seal the win. Thomas Haugh led Florida with 27 points, Xaivian Lee scored 14 and Alex Condon and Micah Handlogten each had 11.

G2 or not G2: Trump’s new favorite term for US-China relations carries a lot of history’s baggage

November 3, 2025

President Donald Trump has suggested his outlook to the U.S.-China relationship with a six-word post on Truth Social. He mentioned the “G2,” a term suggesting equal power between the U.S. and China, before a summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Oct. 30 in Busan, South Korea. This term, first proposed in 2005, has come to imply a power balance that Beijing desires. Experts say this could delight China but worry U.S. allies, especially those in the Indo-Pacific region. Chinese commentators noted the term’s use, suggesting a move toward a bipolar world. The concept was once explored but later discredited by Washington.

November 3, 2025

Kyler Murray is inactive for Arizona’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. The move means coach Jonathan Gannon’s suggestion that his starting quarterback could have a role behind Jacoby Brissett won’t happen coming off the Cardinals’ bye. Murray was expected to return from a foot injury with a three-week break that included missing two games. The Cardinals changed course late in the week. Murray was listed as questionable after the 2019 No. 1 overall pick was a limited participant in practice all week heading into Monday night.

The Atlanta Braves have hired Walt Weiss as their manager to succeed Brian Snitker.

This is Weiss’ second major league managing job after four seasons with the Colorado Rockies from 2013-16. Weiss finished his playing career as a shortstop with Atlanta from 1998-2000. Snitker announced in early October he would not be returning for an 11th year with the club.

November 3, 2025

Pete Carroll has taken a short-term approach with the Las Vegas Raiders since becoming their coach in January. The team has brought in veteran players, many of whom Carroll coached in Seattle, indicating a focus on immediate success. Despite a 2-6 start, Carroll says he isn’t considering long-term deals. The Raiders have a history of struggling with new coaches, with eight of the last 11 most recent hires starting with similar records. The team is healthier now and could improve in the second half of the season. However, a tough schedule might still lead to a high draft pick.

49ers’ season marred by injuries, but Mac Jones keeps playoff hopes alive

November 3, 2025

The San Francisco 49ers have been winning games despite significant injuries to key players. On Sunday, first-round pick Mykel Williams suffered a season-ending knee injury in a victory over the New York Giants. The team is now 6-3, even without stars such as Nick Bosa and Fred Warner. Improved defense and special teams, along with standout performances from Christian McCaffrey and backup quarterback Mac Jones, have kept them competitive. Coach Kyle Shanahan says Jones’ strong play is helpful but hasn’t changed Brock Purdy’s recovery timeline. The team hopes to get more injured players back soon to boost their offense.

New York City’s Jewish community — the largest in the United States — is abounding with anxiety and friction a day ahead of an election that could give the city its first Muslim mayor. That candidate, Zohran Mamdani, has won over many progressive Jewish voters with vows to make the city more affordable and equitable. Yet he has alarmed many other Jews — in New York and across the U.S. — with harsh criticism of Israeli policies, including assertions that its military campaign in Gaza amounts to genocide.

What to know about Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry’s intervention in LSU football

November 3, 2025

Louisiana State University lost its football coach and athletic director amid criticism from Gov. Jeff Landry. Last Wednesday, Landry said that LSU athletic director Scott Woodward would not be selecting a replacement football coach Brian Kelly, who was fired four seasons into a 10-year, $100 million contract. LSU cut ties with Woodward the next day. Landry has also warned that the state could be on the hook to pay for Kelly’s $54 million buyout, though traditionally private donors and nonprofits have covered the costs. Landry’s allies said Louisiana governors have long sought to influence the football team, while critics said he was damaging the university’s reputation and would make it harder to secure a replacement coach.

Mass murderer George Banks, spared from death penalty, dies in prison 43 years after rampage

November 3, 2025

George Banks, one of the most notorious mass murderers in the U.S., has died. Pennsylvania’s Department of Corrections says Banks died Sunday afternoon at Phoenix state prison. Montgomery County’s coroner, Dr. Janine Darby, says the 83-year-old Banks died of complications from renal neoplasm, or kidney cancer. Banks had been in prison since 1982 after shooting 14 people, and killing 13, including five of his own children during a rampage in Wilkes-Barre. At time, it was considered one of the worst mass murders in American history. He also killed four women who were the mothers of his children, plus a teenager, an 11-year-old child and a seven-year-old child. He was convicted of 13 counts of murder.

The Justice Department is urging a federal judge to reject James Comey’s claim that his prosecution amounts to political retribution. Prosecutors said in court papers Monday that the former FBI director has failed to show he’s being targeted as punishment for his criticism of the president. The Justice Department defended President Donald Trump’s September social media post demanding that action be taken in the Comey investigation, saying it reflects “legitimate prosecutorial motive” and is no basis to dismiss the indictment accusing Comey of lying to Congress in 2020.

The Philadelphia Eagles are starting to look more like themselves on offense but say there is still a long way to go. Philadelphia entered its bye week following its best offensive performance of the season in a 38-20 home win over the Giants on Oct. 26 that improved the reigning Super Bowl champions to 6-2. The Eagles look to carry that strong play into their next game, at Green Bay next Monday, but they know there still is much work to do.

The Green Bay Packers have cause for concern as they spend this week preparing for a Monday night matchup with the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

It also has to find a way to replace tight end Tucker Kraft, who will miss the rest of the season because of a knee injury.

November 3, 2025

A man suspected of being the “pillowcase rapist” in a string of South Florida rapes during the 1980s has been convicted in another one of the attacks. Miami-Dade County jurors found 66-year-old Robert Koehler guilty on Monday of sexual battery, kidnapping and burglary after deliberating for less than two hours. His sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 24. Monday’s conviction comes in the case of a woman who was 22 years old in 1984 when someone broke into her southwest Miami-Dade County home and raped her. Koehler was sentenced to 17 years in prison nearly three years ago for a similar attack on a 25-year-old woman in 1983.

November 3, 2025

President Donald Trump’s administration says it will partially fund the SNAP food aid program in November after two federal judges required the payments to continue. That means grocery aid will resume for 1 in 8 Americans, though it has been delayed for millions already and the amount beneficiaries receive will be reduced. The U.S. Department of Agriculture earlier said it would not continue the funding in November due to the government shutdown. Two federal judges ruled last week that the government was required to keep the program running. But both gave the administration leeway to pay for it entirely or partially. It can take up to two weeks to load beneficiaries’ debit cards.

Nick Bosa is already out with a knee injury, and Fred Warner has an ankle injury. The Niners will rely on Keion White to fill Williams’ role. White was acquired from New England last week. San Francisco also signed Clelin Ferrell to the practice squad.

Two men have been charged with terrorism-related crimes in the Detroit area after federal authorities made arrests and seized a cache of weapons last week in a storage unit and elsewhere. According to a 72-page criminal complaint unsealed in federal court, the men had scouted LGBTQ+ bars in Ferndale, a Detroit suburb. FBI Director Kash Patel had announced arrests Friday, but no other details were released at the time while agents searched a home in Dearborn and a storage unit in Inkster. The court filing says the two men who were charged and other co-conspirators were inspired by the Islamic State group’s extremism.

The Tennessee Titans have reached the midpoint of a miserable, not good and just plain ugly season with a chance to rest. There may be no team in the NFL that needs its bye more. The Titans are tied with New Orleans for the NFL’s worst record at 1-8. It’s their worst start for this franchise since the then-Houston Oilers lost 14 of their first 15 games before a 2-14 finish in 1994. A change in offensive play-caller and then head coach hasn’t helped. Interim coach Mike McCoy finally gets a bye to reassess what might be changed or tweaked before the second half of the season.

A month of games into the Mike Sullivan era, the New York Rangers have a clear understanding of what their coach wants from them.

That has kept them afloat while scoring the league’s second-fewest goals a game. Trocheck on Monday practiced with the team for the first time since getting injured Oct. 9.

New Jersey Republicans are trying to ride the coattails of President Donald Trump’s 2024 electoral momentum. Gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli and Virginia candidate Winsome Earle-Sears are crisscrossing their respective states, while Trump is expected to speak at telephone rallies with voters later Monday. This comes after their Democratic opponents Mikie Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger campaigned over the weekend alongside former President Barack Obama. Ciattarelli spent time Monday courting voters in a key traditionally Democratic stronghold that contributed to Trump’s gains in New Jersey. It’s a delicate balance for Republicans, who want to catch some of Trump’s electoral energy while not dismissing concerns about increasing costs.

Courts order ICE not to deport man who spent 43 years in prison before murder case overturned

November 3, 2025

Two courts have ordered immigration officials not to deport a Pennsylvania man who spent four decades in prison before his murder conviction was overturned. Relatives say 64-year-old Subramanyam Vedam is currently detained at a holding facility in Louisiana with an airstrip for deportations. Both an immigration judge and a U.S. district court have since stayed his deportation until the Bureau of Immigration Appeals decides whether to review his case. The Trump Administration believes he should be deported over a long-ago drug conviction. Vedam’s lawyers say the 43 years he wrongly spent in prison should outweigh that.

Rams are looking like a Super Bowl contender behind Stafford’s offense and a surging defense

November 3, 2025

Although Sean McVay has created nearly continual success during his nine seasons in charge of the Los Angeles Rams, his team hasn’t looked this good at midseason since its Super Bowl championship run four years ago. Sure, that’s not a very high bar to clear. The Rams got off to ice-cold starts in the past three seasons before heating up to make two playoff runs. But from Matthew Stafford’s MVP-level play on a balanced offense to the increasingly impressive shutdown efforts from a rebuilding defense, the Rams have a clear identity and a good chance to contend for their third Super Bowl trip during McVay’s remarkable tenure.

The New England Patriots have turned their season around under Mike Vrabel, winning six straight games to lead the AFC East. This success comes after two years of struggles. On Sunday, they narrowly defeated Atlanta 24-23. Quarterback Drake Maye has emerged as an MVP contender, completing 74.1% of his passes. However, the team faces challenges with injuries and turnovers. The offensive line allowed six sacks for the second week in a row. Despite these issues, the Patriots have an easy schedule ahead, boosting their playoff chances. They face Tampa Bay next week.

Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Tommy Rees will start calling plays, beginning with Sunday’s game against the New York Jets.

He believes Rees is the right person to improve the team’s struggling offense. Rees, in his second season with the Browns, was promoted to offensive coordinator during the offseason. The Browns’ offense ranks near the bottom of the league in several categories, and Rees is tasked with reviving it.

Another AI winner, Amazon, rallied after announcing a deal with OpenAI. They helped offset a big loss for Kimberly-Clark, which fell after saying it would buy Kenvue, the maker of Tylenol. Stock indexes ended mixed in Europe following a stronger finish in Asia.

Falcons look for more consistency to end seven-year playoff drought

November 3, 2025

The only thing consistent about the Atlanta Falcons’ 2025 season is their inconsistency. They have beaten the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings, and taken division leaders Tampa Bay and New England to the wire. They’ve also been blown out by the Miami Dolphins and the Carolina Panthers. That week-to-week inconsistency can show up in the same game, as it did Sunday during a 24-23 loss in New England.

First clinical trial of pig kidney transplants gets underway

November 3, 2025

The first clinical trial is getting underway to see if transplanting pig kidneys into people might really save lives. United Therapeutics, a producer of gene-edited pig kidneys, announced Monday that the study’s initial transplant was performed successfully at NYU Langone Health. It’s the latest step in the quest for animal-to-human transplants. A second U.S. company, eGenesis, is preparing to begin a similar trial in the coming months. A handful of experiments led up to these more rigorous studies. The longest-lasting known so far was 271 days, when a New Hampshire man resumed dialysis as his declining pig kidney was removed.

Judge rejects plea deal for funeral home owner accused of stashing nearly 190 decaying bodies

November 3, 2025

A Colorado judge has rejected the plea agreement of a funeral home owner accused of stashing nearly 190 decaying bodies in a bug-infested building. The judge ruled Monday after family members of the deceased said the deal’s 15- to 20-year sentence for Carie Hallford was too lenient. Both Carie Hallford and her husband, Jon Hallford, owned Return to Nature Funeral Home. They are accused of dumping bodies and giving families fake ashes between 2019 and 2023. Last year, both pleaded guilty to 191 counts of corpse abuse. Jon Hallford’s plea deal was rejected in August, and he then withdrew his guilty plea. Carie Hallford withdraw her guilty plea Monday, and is scheduled for trial next year.

Josh Allen and the Bills reach midway point at 6-2 with signature win over rival Chiefs

November 3, 2025

Just when it appeared fashionable in some NFL circles to begin writing off Josh Allen and the Bills as mere pretenders, Buffalo went ahead and flipped the script. The Bills reached the midpoint of their season at 6-2 with what stands as a signature 28-21 victory over nemesis Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Impressive as Sunday’s outcome was, more encouraging was how the offense and defense played complementary parts in finishing off the Chiefs. The Bills finally are showing signs of building an identity. There remain challenges ahead, with games against Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and a rematch against New England still looming.

November 3, 2025

An endangered loggerhead sea turtle has been released into the Atlantic Ocean from a Florida beach nearly three months after being hit by a boat. The adult female, named Swim Shady, returned the wild Monday morning just north of Palm Beach. Officials say the reptile weighed about 268 pounds when she was found stranded in Port St. Lucie in August after a boat strike. Rescuers found she was carrying eggs, had limited vision in one eye and was anemic. Swim Shady underwent surgery to remove a loose piece of her shell and recovered with antibiotics and supportive care.

Miami Dolphins trade edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to Philadelphia Eagles, AP source says

November 3, 2025

The Miami Dolphins are trading edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to the Philadelphia Eagles for a third-round pick in next year’s draft. A person with knowledge of the move told The Associated Press on Monday. The trade reunites Phillips with Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who was with Miami in 2023. Phillips had 6 1/2 sacks and 43 tackles in just eight games that season. This is the first trade by Dolphins interim general manager Champ Kelly. Phillips is expected to boost the Eagles’ pass rush, as Philadelphia has just 16 sacks through eight games this season.

Bucks center Myles Turner gets 1st glimpse at visiting locker room in his return to Indianapolis

November 3, 2025

Myles Turner spent his first 10 NBA seasons finding his way around Gainbridge Fieldhouse. He played there, practiced there until the Indiana Pacers built a new facility, soaked in hot and cold tubs in the training rooms there. Turner thought he’d experienced nearly every possible environment he could imagine — even competing in the NBA Finals and watching the NBA All-Star Game. Then came Monday when one of the longest-tenured Pacers in team history returned to Indianapolis for the first time since signing a free agent deal with the rival Milwaukee Bucks. And suddenly he was trying to learn some new ways around the arena.

Texans reach midway point of season with just 3 wins and face uncertainty after concussion to Stroud

November 3, 2025

The Houston Texans are far from where they hoped to be at the midpoint of the season. And things might get worse before they get better with the availability of quarterback C.J. Stroud in question this week. The Texans managed just five field goals in an 18-15 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday to fall to 3-5. Stroud sustained a concussion early in the second quarter when the back of his head bounced violently off the ground following a hard hit as he was sliding. Now the Texans will have to prepare for the possibility that Stroud could miss a game and they’ll have to rely on backup Davis Mills, who struggled in Sunday’s loss.

Trial starts for assault case against DC man who tossed sandwich at federal agent on viral video

November 3, 2025

A trial has begun for a former government attorney charged with assault for throwing a sandwich at a federal agent. A grand jury refused to indict Sean Charles Dunn on a felony charge. Convicting him of a misdemeanor could be an equally tough task for prosecutors. A video that went viral on social media captured Dunn hurling his subway-style sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection agent outside a nightclub on the night of Aug. 10. The incident turned Dunn into a symbol of resistance against President Donald Trump’s law-enforcement surge in the nation’s capital.

States and cities challenge Trump policy overhauling public service loan forgiveness

November 3, 2025

More than 20 Democrat-led states are challenging a new Trump administration rule designed to block nonprofit and government workers from a student loan cancellation program if federal officials conclude their employer has a “substantial illegal purpose.” In a lawsuit filed Monday in Massachusetts, the states argue the Trump administration overstepped its authority when it added new eligibility rules for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. It says the overhaul will worsen job shortages and create instability in state workforces. The legal challenge is being led by New York, Massachusetts, California and Colorado. A separate coalition of cities, nonprofits and labor organizations also filed a legal challenge Monday.

Chiefs’ struggles continue, with injuries and inconsistency contributing to 5-4 first half of season

November 3, 2025

The Kansas City Chiefs have shown they can beat top teams when at their best, but they struggle when they’re not. Last season, they went 15-2, often winning games despite mistakes. This season, they are 5-4 after losing to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Health issues are a growing concern, especially on the offensive line. Absences and injuries to key players like Josh Simmons, Jawaan Taylor and Isiah Pacheco have left them vulnerable. The Chiefs have next week to regroup before visiting Denver on Nov. 16 for what is shaping up to be a critical game not only in the division but the race for a playoff spot.

Music Review: Rosalía’s ‘Lux’ is unlike anything in mainstream music — thank God

November 3, 2025

Rosalía’s “Lux” arrives three years after “Motomami” cemented her unique position as a genre-agnostic international talent. On that album, she combined flamenco with reggaeton, bachata, future-tech and Björk-indebted ballads. Her fourth studio album “Lux” is out Friday and is totally different. It is an avant-garde experiment in classical and orchestral music performed in 13 languages, Associated Press Music Writer Maria Sherman writes in her review. It is ambitious and grand. It is also a welcomed alternative to the current pop landscape. It is also a demanding collection meant for keen listeners.

November 3, 2025

A driver who crashed his pickup truck into a July Fourth barbecue and killed four people has been convicted of murder in the 2024 wreck in a New York City park. A Manhattan judge delivered the verdict Monday in Daniel Hyden’s case. At his trial, victims’ relatives, survivors and witnesses described how a holiday gathering of friends and relatives suddenly became a horrific scene when the truck jumped a curb, tore through a fence and barreled into the group. A text message seeking comment was sent to his attorney. Prosecutors argued that Hyden was drunk, was speeding and didn’t hit his Ford F-150’s brakes until far too late. Hyden’s lawyer suggested the 46-year-old New Jersey man had a foot injury that complicated his driving.

November 3, 2025

Denny Hamlin has faced another heartbreaking loss in his pursuit of a NASCAR championship. On Sunday at Phoenix Raceway, he was leading with three laps to go when a caution caused by William Byron changed everything. The race went into overtime, and Kyle Larson’s strategic pit stop allowed him to finish ahead of Hamlin, claiming his second title. Hamlin’s defeat marks his sixth missed opportunity for a championship. NASCAR is considering changing its winner-take-all format because of fan dissatisfaction. Hamlin, with 60 career wins, remains uncertain about the future of his racing career.

American Arab group sues over California’s new antisemitism law

November 3, 2025

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee is challenging a new California law designed to protect Jewish students from discrimination. The federal complaint filed Sunday argues the law is unconstitutionally vague and violates free speech rights. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the legislation last month, creating an Office of Civil Rights to help schools identify and prevent antisemitism. The law doesn’t define antisemitism, leading to concerns that educators might face charges for presenting materials critical of Israel. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of individual teachers and students in California public schools, and the Los Angeles Educators for Justice in Palestine.

Microsoft to ship 60,000 Nvidia AI chips to UAE under US-approved deal

November 3, 2025

Microsoft has announced it will ship Nvidia’s advanced AI chips to the United Arab Emirates. The U.S. Commerce Department approved the deal in September. The company plans to send over 60,000 Nvidia chips, including the advanced GB300 Grace Blackwell chips, for use in UAE data centers. This move seems to contradict former President Donald Trump’s recent comments about restricting exports of advanced chips. The UAE’s access to these chips is linked to its pledge to invest $1.4 trillion in U.S. energy and AI projects. Microsoft’s announcement is part of its $15.2 billion investment in UAE technology.

Lambert, a critically endangered African penguin, has moved to a special geriatric island at the New England Aquarium in Boston. The island was created for Lambert and six other older penguins to ensure they age safely while staying with their friends.

The older birds receive more frequent checkups and treatments for ailments like arthritis and glaucoma. The aquarium aims to provide a comfortable environment for these long-lived penguins.

After mistaken deportation, Abrego Garcia fights smuggling charges. Here’s what to know

November 3, 2025

The man whose mistaken deportation galvanized opposition to President Donald Trump’s immigration policies is charged in federal court in Tennessee with human smuggling. A judge this week will hear arguments on Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s motion to dismiss the charges on the grounds of “vindictive prosecution.” The judge previously found some evidence to support the motion. The judge cited a statement by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche that seemed to suggest the Justice Department charged Abrego Garcia because he won his wrongful-deportation case. The local prosecutor in Tennessee argues Blanche’s statements are irrelevant because he’s not the person who made the decision to indict. Abrego Garcia is a Salvadoran citizen who’s lived in Maryland for years.

November 3, 2025

A major question hangs over the Supreme Court’s closely watched case on President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs: Will the conservative majority hold the Republican president to the same exacting standards it used to limit his Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden? Key legal principles at the heart of conservative challenges to major initiatives in the Biden years are driving the arguments in the legal fight against Trump’s tariffs. The case is set for arguments at the high court on Wednesday. The businesses and states that sued over the tariffs are name-checking the three Trump-appointed conservative justices whose votes they hope to attract to stop a centerpiece of his economic agenda.
