Avdija and Trail Blazers rally from 22 down to hand Thunder their first loss, 121-119

November 5, 2025

Deni Avdija had 26 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, and the Portland Trail Blazers erased a 22-point deficit in a 121-119 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jrue Holiday added 22 points, including two clutch free throws that put Portland ahead 121-118 with six seconds left. Jerami Grant scored 20 off the bench as the Blazers handed the defending NBA champions their first loss of the season. With the Thunder trailing by three, Isaiah Joe was fouled on a jumper with 0.5 seconds remaining. After a replay review showed Joe’s toe was on the 3-point line, he made his first free throw but missed the second on purpose. Oklahoma City came up empty on a last-second tip-in attempt. Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 35 points.

Explosion at Mississippi chemical plant causes ammonia leak, evacuations

November 5, 2025

Officials say an explosion at a hydrogen and nitrogen product manufacturer in Mississippi has caused an ammonia leak and forced nearby residents to evacuate. Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said in a post on X that emergency officials from across the state were responding to the anhydrous ammonia leak at CF Industries’ plant north of Yazoo City on Wednesday. He says no deaths or injuries have been reported. Anhydrous ammonia is used as a fertilizer to help provide nitrogen for corn and wheat plants. If a person touches it when it is in gas or liquid form, they could be burned.

Native American boarding schools in the US, by the numbers

November 5, 2025

For much of the 19th and 20th centuries, the United States government and Christian denominations operated boarding schools where generations of Native American children were isolated from their families. Along with academics and hard work, the schools sought to erase elements of tribal identity, from language and clothing to hairstyles and even their names. The Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania, where the remains of 17 students were exhumed and repatriated in recent weeks, served as a model for other schools.

November 5, 2025

The NHL now has a 900-goal club. Charter member: Alex Ovechkin, of course. The Washington star pushed his record total to a new level Wednesday night, scoring against the St. Louis Blues to reach 900. The milestone came 2:39 into the second period. Ovechkin was lurking in the offensive zone and was at the bottom of the right circle when he backhanded Jakob Chychrun’s rebound past a sliding Jordan Binnington, who wasn’t able to recover in time. The bench cleared to celebrate the 40-year-old’s accomplishment, while Binnington tucked the milestone puck into his pants.

He and his brother Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud are facing charges of providing material support and resources to a designated terrorist organization, and receiving and transferring guns and ammunition for terrorism, according to court documents. Ali and Mahmoud were arrested Friday. Investigators say the men were inspired by the Islamic State and had scouted LGBTQ+ bars and an amusement park as possible locations of an attack. According to court documents, the men used the word “pumpkin” to reference a possible Halloween attack.

Chicago day care worker detained by immigration agents at drop-off time for children

November 5, 2025

Witnesses say a Chicago day care employee was detained at work during a drop-off time for children, reflecting the Trump administration’s increasingly aggressive enforcement tactics. Alderman Matt Martin says the employee ran from a vehicle inside the Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center on Wednesday morning after being trailed by officers to work. It was unusual even under “Operation Midway Blitz,” which has prompted more than 3,000 Chicago area immigration arrests since early September. Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin posted online that ICE agents didn’t target a day care but had tried to stop a vehicle when the driver refused to pull over.

November 5, 2025

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit challenging the deportation of a Brown Medicine physician. Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a kidney transplant specialist, was deported in March despite having a visa. Homeland Security officials say they found photos of Hezbollah fighters on her phone. Alawieh claims she was only interested in the spiritual beliefs of a Hezbollah leader whose funeral she attended. Her case gained national attention, but U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin ruled he didn’t have the authority to provide the relief she sought in her lawsuit. He cited a U.S. Supreme Court decision limiting court intervention in fast-track deportations.

November 5, 2025

The first civil trial over the Boeing 737 Max crash in Ethiopia is underway. A federal court jury in Chicago is being asked to decide how much Boeing must pay to the family of one of the 157 victims killed in the March 2019 crash. The trial started Wednesday after one of two cases set to go before the jury was settled outside of court. Boeing has already accepted responsibility for the crash and has settled most wrongful death lawsuits. The trial centers on the death of Shikha Garg, a newlywed from India who worked as a United Nations consultant. Boeing says it remains “deeply sorry” and pledges to compensate families.

Top Trump administration officials have briefed lawmakers on the growing U.S. campaign to destroy alleged drug-smuggling boats in the waters off South America. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth met Wednesday with a small bipartisan group of lawmakers in a secure facility in the Capitol. They provided them with one of the first high-level glimpses into the legal rationale and strategy behind the strikes. Republicans emerged from the briefing either staying silent or expressing confidence in President Donald Trump’s campaign. Democrats said Congress needs more information on how the strikes are conducted. Some of the Democrats questioned whether the strikes are legal.

November 5, 2025

A jury has begun deliberating in the Justice Department’s assault case against a man who threw a sandwich at a federal agent, turning him into a symbol of resistance to President Donald Trump’s law-enforcement surge in the nation’s capital. Prosecutors told jurors Wednesday that Sean Charles Dunn broke the law when he threw his submarine sandwich at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent on the night of Aug. 10. One of Dunn’s lawyers urged the jury to acquit Dunn of a misdemeanor assault charge after a two-day trial. Defense attorney Sabrina Shroff questioned why the case was brought in the first place.

Protesters at an anti-Trump demonstration in Washington, D.C., were re-energized following significant Democratic victories in elections this week. Thousands of demonstrators gathered near the Washington Monument on Wednesday, marking the first large anti-Trump protest since the elections. Democrats won key races, including governorships in Virginia and New Jersey, and a favorable redistricting measure in California. Protesters, organized by groups like Refuse Fascism, felt these wins signaled resistance against perceived presidential overreach. Despite the victories, activists urged continued vigilance. They emphasized the importance of ongoing action, especially with upcoming midterm elections.

Trump faces rare Republican pushback as he presses Senate to scrap the filibuster

November 5, 2025

President Donald Trump is finding that Senate Republicans have a limit as he pushes them to scrap the filibuster. That’s the rule in the Senate that requires 60 votes to pass most legislation. Senate Majority Leader John Thune says the filibuster “makes the Senate the Senate,” and the votes are not there to change it. Trump has long disagreed. At a breakfast with Senate Republicans Wednesday morning, he renewed his calls to end the government shutdown by getting rid of the filibuster and lowering the threshold to 51 votes for legislation. Trump told them, “It’s time for Republicans to do what they have to do.”

November 5, 2025

A top executive at a startup company that helped college students apply for financial aid has been sentenced to over five years in prison for cheating JPMorgan Chase in a $175 million buyout four years ago. The sentencing of Olivier Amar on Wednesday came a month after Charlie Javice, the founder of the startup known as Frank, was sentenced to seven years in prison. Prosecutors say Javice and Amar duped one of the world’s largest banks into thinking Frank had over 4 million customers when it had fewer than 400,000. The acquisition of Frank occurred in 2021.

IRS Direct File won’t be available next year. Here’s what that means for taxpayers

November 5, 2025

The Trump administration has decided not to offer the IRS’ electronic tax filing system for free next year, and its future is unclear. An IRS official informed state comptrollers in an email Monday that “IRS Direct File will not be available in Filing Season 2026.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said better alternatives exist and the private sector can do a better job. The program, developed during Joe Biden’s presidency, was praised for making tax filing easy and economical. However, it faced criticism from Republican lawmakers who called it a waste of taxpayer money and from commercial tax preparation companies that have made billions from charging people to use their software.

Democrats are hopeful again. But unresolved questions remain about party’s path forward

November 5, 2025

Democrats are hopeful again. Party leaders on Wednesday celebrated big wins up and down the ballot across deep-blue New York and California to swing-states Georgia, Pennsylvania and Virginia. There were signs that key voting groups, including young people, Black voters and Latinos who shifted toward President Donald Trump’s Republican Party just a year ago, may be shifting back. And Democrats across the political spectrum coalesced behind a simple message focused on Trump’s failure to address rising costs and everyday kitchen table issues. But just beneath the party’s relief at securing its first big electoral wins since last November’s drubbing lay unresolved questions about its direction heading into next year’s midterm elections.

November 5, 2025

President Donald Trump nominated a former lawmaker from New Mexico to oversee the management of a quarter-billion acres of public lands that are concentrated in western states. The nominee for the Bureau of Land Management, former Rep. Steve Pearce of New Mexico, must be confirmed by the Senate. The agency manages a quarter-billion acres — about 10% of land in the U.S. It’s also responsible for 700 million acres of underground minerals that includes major reserves of oil, natural gas and coal. Trump and Republicans in Congress have opened millions of acres of public lands for mining and drilling in a bid to ramp up U.S. fossil fuel production.

November 5, 2025

California Republicans have filed a lawsuit to block a new U.S. House map that voters just approved. The map, backed by Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, aims to help Democrats flip up to five congressional seats in next year’s midterm elections. The Dhillon Law Group filed the lawsuit, arguing the map illegally uses race to redraw the map in favor of Hispanic voters. They’re asking the court to block the new districts before the 2026 elections. Newsom’s office said the challenge will fail. It’s unclear if a temporary restraining order would be granted before candidates can start collecting voter signatures to qualify for the ballot.

November 5, 2025

Economic worries were the dominant concern as voters cast ballots for Tuesday’s elections, according to preliminary findings from the AP Voter Poll. The results of the expansive survey of more than 17,000 voters in New Jersey, Virginia, California and New York City suggest the public are troubled by an economy that seems trapped by higher prices and fewer job opportunities. The economic challenges have played out in different ways at the local level. Most New Jersey voters said property taxes were a “major problem,” while most New York City voters said this about the cost of housing. Most Virginia voters said they’ve felt at least some impact from the recent federal government cuts.

Zwerner was shot in January 2023 in her first-grade classroom. A bullet damaged her left hand and remains in her chest. Parker is the only defendant in the lawsuit. Zwerner’s attorneys say Parker failed to act after several school staff members told her that the student had a gun in his backpack.

In ‘Sentimental Value,’ art imitates life and vice versa

November 5, 2025

Joachim Trier’s “Sentimental Value” builds its emotional power subtly through scenes that, like much of the acclaimed Danish-Norwegian filmmaker’s filmography, pulse with the rhythm of life. By the time the film reaches its crescendo, a simple exchange of looks is enough to leave you stirred to your core. The film, starring Renate Reinsve and Stellan Skarsgård, is one of the most acclaimed of the year partly because it’s so much about the intermingling of life and art, and how each enriches the other. Neon, which backed the Oscar-winner “Anora,” is hoping “Sentimental Value” can likewise be a major awards contender.

Virginia voters push back hard on Trump administration efforts to reshape federal government

November 5, 2025

Not every voter in Northern Virginia has felt the impact of President Donald Trump’s efforts to reshape the federal government. But even many who haven’t said they have colleagues or neighbors who are dealing with the consequences. Those concerns contributed to a Democratic sweep of all statewide offices in the commonwealth in Tuesday’s election. The results sent a blistering message to Trump and his party in electing Abigail Spanberger as the commonwealth’s first female governor. Spanberger ran on a promise to protect Virginia’s economy from Trump’s aggressive tactics. His administration has culled the civil service, levied tariffs and shepherded a reconciliation bill curtailing the state’s already fragile health care system.

New film ‘Nuremberg’ highlights psychiatrist who analyzed Hermann Göring

November 5, 2025

A new film, “Nuremberg,” starring Russell Crowe and Rami Malek, explores the interactions between Nazi leader Hermann Göring and army psychiatrist Dr. Douglas M. Kelley. Kelley’s task was to assess whether Göring and other Nazis were fit to stand trial for war crimes. Directed by James Vanderbilt, the movie is based on Jack El-Hai’s 2013 book, “The Nazi and the Psychiatrist.” Kelley found Göring to be clever and charming, yet unremorseful. The film highlights Kelley’s belief that dangerous ideologies could resurface, a message he felt was relevant upon returning to the U.S. after World War II.

It’s Day 36 and the government shutdown is now the longest ever.

During a meeting Wednesday at the White House with Republican senators Trump blamed the shutdown for the GOP’s election losses Tuesday and he pushed senators to get rid of the filibuster. But Senate GOP leader John Thune says that’s “not happening” and top Democrat Chuck Schumer says the election night results “ought to send a much needed bolt of lightning to Donald Trump that he should meet with us to end this crisis.”

How key demographic groups voted in 2025, according to the AP Voter Poll

November 5, 2025

There were signs in the AP Voter Poll that there’s plenty of room for Democrats to make up ground among groups that moved toward President Donald Trump in last year’s election. The sweeping survey of more than 17,000 voters in New Jersey, Virginia, California and New York City that explains who voted in each election and their views on the top issues in their state. But even with major wins, the survey also exposed fault lines for Democrats. Young men were less likely than young women to support Democrats in the governor’s races, and Jewish voters in New York City appeared wary of supporting Democratic nominee, Zohran Mamdani.

Trump may become the face of economic discontent, a year after such worries helped him win big

November 5, 2025

Voters have sent a message to President Donald Trump that the economy doesn’t feel as though its booming — despite what he says. Democrats romped to victory in Tuesday’s key races, focusing on issues like the cost of living. Democrats won the governorships of New Jersey and Virginia and an important ballot initiative in California. Many voters expressed dissatisfaction with the Republican president’s handling of the economy. Inflation remains a significant issue. The election suggests Trump’s focus on other issues, including immigration and crime, hasn’t resonated with voters. Instead, a year after big wins, Trump and the GOP may find themselves the new face of economic discontent.

Why California voters approved a redistricting ballot measure, according to the AP Voter Poll

November 5, 2025

Most California voters didn’t like redrawing their congressional districts to favor Democrats, according to the AP Voter Poll. But many may have felt Republicans left them with no alternative. The survey captured the mixed emotions of an electorate that chose to adopt President Donald Trump’s own strategy of rewriting the rules by redistricting outside of Census years. The ballot measure’s success, as well as voters’ apparent hesitations, demonstrates how many people appear to see the current redistricting fight as a political necessity, even if they don’t agree with it in principle. The findings suggest that voters see this as a tense and high stakes moment for the country, where compromises may be required.

From a few to more than 350, children and parents ride together to school as a ‘bike bus’

November 5, 2025

In the New Jersey township of Montclair, a group bicycle ride to school has become a weekly community ritual. On Fridays, children and parents join a “bike bus” that goes to all the local elementary schools. The initiative started three years ago with a few people wanting to create healthy habits for their children and strengthen the sense of community among parents. One of the regular 5-mile routes attracted 350 riders on a recent morning. The nonprofit organization Bike Bus World says hundreds of similar groups exist throughout the United States and Europe, and in some other countries. Organizers hope the movement encourages elected officials to invest in safer biking infrastructure.

‘Predator: Badlands’ sticks its 2 stars together to take the franchise to new places

November 5, 2025

The seventh “Predator” film takes the franchise to new places by sticking its two stars together. “Predator: Badlands” opens Friday. It features Elle Fanning as a broken android who rides on the back of a young Predator played by Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi and makes common cause with the killer. Director Dan Trachtenberg says there were many inspirations for the film, but the central concept comes from C-3PO strapped to Chewbacca’s back in “The Empire Strikes Back.” “Predator: Badlands” is the first real foray into sci-fi for the 27-year-old Fanning and one of the first films of any kind for the 24-year-old Schuster-Koloamatangi.

How Grammy voting works: Everything you need to know

November 5, 2025

The Recording Academy will announce the 2026 Grammy Award nominees on Friday. It’s a good reason to examine how Grammy voting works. First, members of the Recording Academy and record labels submit artists in certain categories. Those are then vetted for eligibility, then voting members help determine who the final nominations will be. There’s currently 95 Grammy Awards, but voters have to be selective about the genre fields they vote in. The entire membership votes on six prizes, including album, song and record of the year and best new artist. Once the nominees are determined and announced in November, a period of final round voting takes place. Winners are announced live at the award show in February.

Century-old time capsule found at a Utah church evokes memories of a now fleeting Japantown

November 5, 2025

A historian’s hunch about what might lie hidden within the walls of a Japanese church in Salt Lake City led congregants to uncover a century-old time capsule recalling the city’s once vibrant Japantown. The 101-year-old Japanese Church of Christ is one of two remaining buildings in the Japantown district founded in the early 1900s. A cast iron box extracted from the church’s cornerstone helps tell the story of early Japanese immigrants last century. Inside were hand-sewn flags, Bibles and local newspapers in both English and Japanese, the church’s articles of incorporation and a paper with the handwritten names of its Sunday school teachers. The church now sits amid a planned sports and entertainment district.
