November 21, 2025

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta is likely out for the rest of the season after having back surgery. Lions coach Dan Campbell said Friday the procedure went well.

November 20, 2025

New York Rep. Nydia Velázquez — a trailblazer known by the nickname “La Luchadora,” or the fighter — announced that she will retire next year after more than three decades in Congress. Velázquez, 72, is the second long-serving New York Democrat to say she’ll step aside after Rep. Jerry Nadler, 78, announced in September that he’d exit at the end of his current term.

Baylor AD Mack Rhoades resigns, a week after taking leave for personal reasons

November 20, 2025

Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades has resigned, a week after he took a leave of absence for personal reasons. He also stepped down last week from his role as chairman of the College Football Playoff selection committee. School president Linda Livingston said in a letter Thursday that Rhoades informed her of his decision to step away.

Rhoades had been Baylor’s athletic director since July 2016.

Trump expands tariff relief on coffee, fruit and beef from Brazil

November 20, 2025

President Donald Trump has continued loosening tariffs on Brazil to lower consumer costs for Americans. The decision, released Thursday, affects coffee, fruit and beef. The White House said last week that Trump was rolling back some worldwide tariffs originally announced in April. However, Brazil said that didn’t affect levies Trump enacted in July to punish the country for prosecuting his political ally, former President Jair Bolsonaro. Thursday’s decision harmonizes Trump’s plans, ensuring that neither the April nor July tariffs apply to certain products. Trump and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva have been negotiating over trade, which could further reduce tariffs.

Trump administration threatens to withhold $75M from Pennsylvania over immigrant truck drivers

November 20, 2025

The Trump administration has threatened to withhold nearly $75 million in funding if Pennsylvania does not immediately revoke what the administration claims are illegally issued commercial driver’s licenses to immigrants. The move by U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Thursday to target Pennsylvania follows similar action against California. Duffy has made it a priority to scrutinize how the licenses are issued since August, when a tractor-trailer driver not authorized to be in the U.S. made an illegal U-turn and caused a crash in Florida that killed three people. That incident thrust the issue into the public’s consciousness.

Tribes that restored buffalo are killing some to feed people because of the shutdown

November 12, 2025

A pending deal to end the government shutdown is too late for about 30 bison on the Fort Peck reservation in northern Montana. The animals are being killed to make up for a lapse in food benefits. Tribal officials say about one-third of Fort Peck’s members depend on monthly benefit checks. That’s about triple the rate for the U.S. as a whole. They’ve received only partial payments in November after President Donald Trump’s administration choked off food aid funding during the shutdown. Rural reservations across the Great Plains have been culling their cherished bison herds to fill the gap. The 30 bison from Fort Peck equals about 12,000 pounds of meat.

The team put Legault on injured reserve and said he was expected to miss 3-4 months. The Hurricanes in a statement thanked the Leafs’ medical staff for swift and decisive assistance in triage care of the injury.

LeBron James to practice with Lakers’ G League affiliate, showing more progress in his return

November 10, 2025

LeBron James will practice with the G League’s South Bay Lakers this week as he prepares to begin his unprecedented 23rd NBA season. Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick revealed the plan for the 40-year-old James on Monday before his team’s road game against the Charlotte Hornets. Redick initially said James was “literally practicing with South Bay today,” but the team later clarified that the workout will happen later in the week. James has yet to practice or to play with the Lakers this season after developing sciatica near the start of training camp. The team has refused to put a timetable on James’ progress.

Cowboys back at work outside view of media after death of Marshawn Kneeland

November 10, 2025

The Dallas Cowboys are back at work coming off their open week, absent the usual media presence as the club starts the process of returning to the field following the death of defensive end Marshawn Kneeland. Executive vice president Stephen Jones says the Cowboys are still working with Kneeland’s family on how to honor the former Western Michigan standout who was in his second season. Police said Kneeland was found dead early Thursday of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound after leading officers on a chase when the 24-year-old didn’t pull over for a traffic stop.

After mistaken deportation, US asks judge to let it send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia

November 10, 2025

U.S. government attorneys say they have cleared all the hurdles needed to send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia. The Salvadoran national’s mistaken deportation to his home country in March helped galvanize opposition to President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. Abrego Garcia’s attorneys claim the administration is now manipulating the immigration system in order to punish him, a violation of his due process rights. The government argues that his due process rights are minimal because he entered the country illegally.  A federal judge in Maryland has temporarily blocked Abrego Garcia’s deportation. The government is asking her to dissolve that order.

Joe Burrow returns to practice with Bengals but won’t play against Steelers

November 10, 2025

Joe Burrow returned to practice with the Bengals on Monday, opening the 21-day window for the franchise quarterback to return to the lineup. His practice time will not count against the 53-player active roster. Burrow is eligible to be activated during the three-week window. However, coach Zac Taylor said Burrow would not return for Sunday’s game at Pittsburgh. The Bengals have lost six of seven since Burrow suffered a toe injury in mid-September that required surgery. It’s possible that Burrow could return sooner than initial estimates after he got hurt.

Washington Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne has been suspended for one game without pay by the NFL for hitting Detroit Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown during the teams’ game.

He will miss Washington’s game next Sunday in Spain against the Miami Dolphins. Payne is allowed to appeal the suspension. The Commanders (3-7) have lost five games in a row.

The latest US strikes on alleged drug boats kill 6 in the eastern Pacific

November 10, 2025

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced the latest in a series of strikes on boats accused of ferrying drugs, killing six people in attacks on two vessels in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The dual strikes on Sunday bring the total number of known attacks up to 19 and the death toll to at least 75 people since the Trump administration launched a campaign against drug trafficking in South American waters that many see as a pressure tactic on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The Trump administration has provided no evidence for its assertions, and lawmakers have pressed for more information on who’s being targeted and the legal justification for the strikes.

Rodgers’ struggles continue to mount in Steelers’ loss to Chargers

November 9, 2025

Aaron Rodgers’ tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers began on a high note with four wins in five games to start the season. Since then, however, the 41-year-old quarterback’s performance has gotten progressively worse and worse as the Steelers have lost three of four. Rodgers went 16 of 31 for 161 yards with a touchdown, two interceptions and a fumble in Pittsburgh’s 25-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night. He was sacked three times, took a safety and finished with a 50.6 passer rating, his lowest mark of the season.

November 9, 2025

Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz were indicted Sunday on charges they took bribes from sports bettors to throw specific pitches that would trigger winnings on in-game prop bets. Prosecutors identified pitches from Clase and Ortiz that helped two unnamed gamblers from their native Dominican Republic win at least $460,000. This included throwing pitches intentionally outside of the strike zone or within certain velocity ranges. Here’s a closer look at those pitches.

November 9, 2025

Salman Rushdie is among those being honored at the Dayton Literary Peace Prize event in Ohio. The famed writer was receiving a lifetime achievement award Sunday after publishing his first work of fiction since being stabbed on a New York lecture stage three years ago. The prizes honor both literary merit and the writers’ promotion of peace through their work, with separate awards annually for fiction, nonfiction and lifetime achievement. Rushdie is best known for his novel, “The Satanic Verses,” and the call for his death in 1989 from Iran’s spiritual leader. He was blinded in one eye from the 2022 attack. His latest work is “The Eleventh Hour.”

Big Ten says USC should have been penalized on fake punt play under the NCAA’s Unfair Tactics rule

November 9, 2025

The Big Ten has announced that Southern California should have received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty during its game against Northwestern. This was due to a reserve quarterback wearing the same number as the Trojans’ regular punter while executing a fake punt. Early in the second quarter, Sam Huard completed a pass that led to a touchdown five plays later. The Big Ten stated that USC should have been penalized under the NCAA’s Unfair Tactics rule. The conference plans to continue reviewing the situation with both schools. Northwestern’s coach did not complain about the play after the game.

MLB pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz charged with taking bribes to rig pitches for bettors

November 9, 2025

Two Major League Baseball pitchers have been indicted on charges they took bribes to give sports bettors advance notice of the types of pitches they’d throw and intentionally tossed balls instead of strikes to ensure successful bets. Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz both pitched for the Cleveland Guardians. They have been on non-disciplinary paid leave since July while Major League Baseball investigated what it said was unusually high in-game betting activity when they pitched. A lawyer for Ortiz declined to comment when contacted by The Associated Press and a lawyer for Clase did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

Thanksgiving air traffic could ‘slow to a trickle’ if shutdown persists, transport secretary says

November 9, 2025

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warns that U.S. air traffic could slow significantly if the federal government shutdown continues into the Thanksgiving travel season. The Federal Aviation Administration has already ordered flight cuts at major airports. Some air traffic controllers, who have gone unpaid for nearly a month, have stopped working. Reductions began Friday at 4% and could reach 10% by November 14. On Sunday, 1,375 flights were canceled. Duffy suggests further cuts might be needed, possibly up to 20%. He emphasizes the need for action to keep people safe amid an overtaxed system.
