✈️AIR TRAVEL DISASTER: FAA Cutting Flight
The Federal Aviation Administration says 10% of flights at 40 airports will be cut starting Friday, if the government shutdown continues.
While it’s currently unclear which airports will be impacted, staffing shortages from what is now the country’s longest government shutdown in history are delaying or cancelling flights for thousands nationwide.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy predicts there could be chaos in the skies next week if the government shutdown drags on and air traffic controllers miss a second paycheck.
Cancelled and delayed flights are mounting as flight-controller staffing shortages caused by the government shutdown grow.
Since the shutdown began, the FAA has reported controller shortages from airports in Orlando, LA, Boston and Philadelphia, to control centers in Atlanta and Houston. Flight delays have spread to airports in Nashville, Dallas, Newark, New York, Washington and more.
A judge has halted federal employee layoffs, as the White House began another round of cuts to fulfill President Trump’s threats to cull agencies and jobs while the government is shut down.
Roughly 750,000 federal employees have been placed on furlough. “Essential employees,” including those flight controllers are required to work despite not getting paid.
This is the first federal shutdown since 2019, when parts of the government were shuttered for 35 days. This shutdown has now surpassed it.
This time, the dispute is over Democrats’ demand that the president agree to extend expiring health care subsidies and restore Medicaid cuts.
👨⚖️TARIFFS LEGAL?: SCOTUS Justices Skeptical
In one of the most economically important clashes in the country’s history, in arguments this morning, Supreme Court Justices sounded skeptical of Presidential Trump’s wide-ranging tariffs.
Even some conservative justices joined their liberal colleagues questioned whether Trump has the power to impose such far-reaching duties. A ruling against Trump could be devastating and force him to return Billions in tariffs collected from U.S. trading partners.
Supply-Chain Expert, Exiger CEO Brandon Daniels says Trump accomplished a great deal on tariffs at his summit with China’s Xi:

🚨MAMDANI: WINS NYC/ DEMS Win VA, NJ
Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist, has been elected New York City’s 111th mayor over the old guard’s Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
The 34 year olds’ victory completed one of the most remarkable political upsets in New York history and will soon put a democratic socialist in City Hall.
President Trump weighed in on the race on the eve of Election Day, offering a full-throated endorsement of former Gov. Cuomo.
In New Jersey, Democrat Mikie Sherrill will become the next governor
In Virginia, Democrat Abigail Spanberger becomes the first female governor.
California voters passed Prop 50, a measure that allows a new map for U.S. House districts that favors Democrats.

💵As Always: It’s the Economy Stupid:
Economic worries were the dominant concern as voters cast ballots in the 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 suggested the public was troubled by an economy that seems trapped by higher prices and fewer job opportunities.
And a year after President Donald Trump was brought back to the White House on the promise that he could tame inflation and unleash growth, economic worries were still at the top of voters’ minds. Despite a rising stock market, inflation remains elevated, and hiring has slowed sharply. Since October, a federal government shutdown has only compounded the sense of uncertainty.

🛩️PLANE CRASH: 7 Dead UPS Plane Fireball
7 people are dead after a UPS cargo plane on takeoff in Louisville, more were injured, officials said.
The Louisville Metro Police Department described the scene as active with “fire and debris,” warning residents to stay away.
A shelter-in-place was issued for a 5-mile radius of the airport, police said.
The plane was headed to Hawaii and was carrying a great deal of fuel.
‼️$40B: Tissue-Maker Buys Tylenol-Maker
Kleenex-maker Kimberly-Clark said Monday it would acquire Kenvue, which makes Tylenol for more than $40 billion in cash and stock, creating a consumer powerhouse uniting brands like Huggies with names like Band-Aid .
It’s a major gamble for Kimberly-Clark, given that Kenvue’s Tylenol is currently under a Trump administration microscope over alleged links to autism, which the company fervently denies.
President Trump spoke about autism and vaccines at the White House, giving direct and unproven medical advice about vaccines and the use of a common painkiller, acetaminophen, Tylenol, in pregnancy and infancy despite not having any medical background.
The President claimed there was a link between rising autism rates and the use of the painkiller. But multiple health agencies around the world — including the F.D.A. — have not found a conclusive link.
Even Trump admitted the evidence is flimsy: “Bobby wants to be very careful with what he says,” Trump said, referring to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “But I’m not so careful with what I say.”
One-out-of-31 children are born with Autism.
Best advice: talk with your doctor.
🤖BLAME A.I.: Amazon Firing 30k, UPS Cuts 48k
Amazon is laying off 14,000 corporate employees this year, and as many as 30,000 employees in the near future, driven by ‘Artificial Intelligence integration’. Amazon shares up 1% on the news.
The Wall Street Journal reports this is the largest round of layoffs since 2022, partly “correcting” aggressive pandemic-era hiring.
The job cuts will affect departments including human resources, cloud computing, and advertising, to reduce costs.
Also sighting A.I. advances, UPS has since last year reduced its work force by 48,000 employees, the company said on Tuesday, in a cost-cutting drive aimed at bolstering profits and winning back investors.
Amazon is also planning on replacing 500,0000 workers with robots. Amazon may be on the cutting edge but robots and AI are coming for many of our jobs.
The New York Times reports Amazon executives believe the company is on the cusp of its next big workplace shift: replacing more than half a million jobs with automation.
Amazon’s U.S. work force has more than tripled since 2018 to almost 1.2 million. But Amazon’s automation team expects the company can avoid hiring more than 160,000 people in the U.S. it would otherwise need by 2027. That would save about 30 cents on each item that Amazon picks, packs and delivers to customers.
‼️GET THIS
A news special on Britain’s Channel 4 titled “Will AI Take My Job?” investigated how automation is reshaping the workplace and pitting humans against machines. At the end of the hour-long program, a major twist was revealed: the anchor, who narrates and appears throughout the telecast reporting from different locations, was entirely AI-generated.
☕️COFFEE PRICES: Perk Higher Still
Your caffeine fix is getting more expensive.
The average price of a pound of ground coffee hit $9.14 in September, a 3% increase from the August average of $8.87 and 41% higher than a year ago.
Nikki Bravo, the co-owner of Momentum Coffee in Chicago, raised prices by about 15% last week for lattes, cappuccinos and other drinks at her four locations.
Bravo said she is paying 15% more for coffee beans compared to a year ago and has started roasting more beans in-house to save money. She gets most of her beans from Africa.
🚨SUMMIT SHOCKER: Trump Goes Nuclear
President Trump has ordered the Pentagon to resume U.S. nuclear weapons testing, ending a 30-year moratorium. Now Energy Secretary Chris Wright says the tests will not involve nuclear explosions, focusing instead on “the other parts of a nuclear weapon.”
Trump’s shocking announcement came moments before a summit with Chinese leader Xi.

📺TRUMP’s NEXT TV TARGET: Seth Myers
Donald Trump tore into Late Night’s Seth Meyers, calling him a ‘deranged lunatic’ and suggested his criticism of the administration was ‘illegal.’
The president shared his ire on his Truth Social page, seemingly in response to a recent segment Meyers did on his show in which the comedian mocked Trump for his comments about steam catapults.
The president has long complained about the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System, or EMALS, which have replaced steam-driven catapults on Ford-class carriers.
The catapults are used to help propel aircraft off of the deck of the carrier during take-off, helping to compensate for the limited length of the flight deck.
‘Seth Meyers of NBC may be the least talented person to “perform” in the history of television. In fact, he may be the WORST to perform, live or otherwise,’ Trump wrote.
‘Why does NBC waste its time and money on a guy like this???’ he asked, claiming Meyers has ‘NO TALENT, NO RATINGS’ and is ‘100 [percent] ANTI-TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL.’
💎LOUVRE HEIST: Seven Suspects Busted
Seven men who allegedly stole $100 million worth of France’s crown jewels during a daring daytime heist at the Louvre Museum are in custody.
One of the suspects, who has not been identified, was busted as he was boarding a flight bound for Algeria at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris newspaper Le Parisien reported.
It’s was a robbery worthy of a movie.
The thieves made off with jewelry, that belonged to Napoleon, of “incalculable” value. It was a brazen daylight 7-minute long heist according to France’s interior minister.
Laurent Nuñez, the interior minister, told France Inter radio that the thieves had used a lift mechanism on a truck to break into the Galerie d’Apollon, a first-floor wing of the museum that houses a collection that includes the French crown jewels.
The thieves breached a window with an angle grinder, broke into two display cases and fled on motor scooters with their loot within just seven minutes, according to Mr. Nuñez. He did not specify what exactly had been stolen, but said the jewelry had “patrimonial” and “historical” value that made it “priceless.”
🏀SHOCKING: There’s Gambling Going On Here
An N.B.A. Player and Coach have been arrested for alleged gambling crimes.
More than 30 people were indicted today in the federal investigation into illegal sports betting.
Prosecutors charge Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier leaked non-public information about his health, which his associates and gangsters then used to place bets that he would underperform.
In a poker scheme: Officials said four New York Mafia families — the Bonanno, Gambino, Lucchese and Genovese families — set up poker nights that swindled millions of dollars from unwitting players. Chauncey Billups, the head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, was charged with playing the role of a “face card,” taking part in the games to attract high rollers.
Among the most prominent of the gangsters who were dealt into the high-stakes scams is Angelo Ruggiero Jr, the son of the late Gambino captain Angelo “Quack Quack” Ruggiero, who was close friends with notorious Gambino boss John Gotti.
In some of the rigged games, the poker chip trays had hidden cameras that could read the cards on the table. Sometimes, the cards had markings visible only to people wearing specially designed contact lenses or sunglasses, officials said.
The scandals threatens to undermine the momentum for the legalized sports betting industry, which has become a major source of revenue for the leagues, TV networks and state governments.
The case will bring additional scrutiny to regulated sports-books like DraftKings and FanDuel.
Meantime, a new bombshell indictment criminally charging former NBA player Damon Jones suggests that while affiliated with the Los Angeles Lakers, Jones leaked information about the injury status of superstar LeBron James to sports bettors before a February 2023 game.
James is not accused of wrongdoing in the indictment, which alleges that Jones and others defrauded betting companies. Jones and James previously played together on the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Jones was acting as an unofficial coach for the Lakers at the time of the February 2023 game.
The indictments come at a crucial time for the N.B.A., during the opening week of the season and as it starts new broadcast deals worth $76 billion over 11 years.
🎯DRUG SMUGGLERS: Targeted by US
The Pentagon says it has destroyed four more alleged drug smuggling boats in the Pacific killing 14 crew members. That brings the death toll in the campaign to 57.
The Trump administration has ordered the deployment of the Gerald R. Ford Aircraft Carrier to Latin America targeting suspected drug smuggling vessels in the Caribbean without Congressional approval.
🎥MERGER TALK: Superman & The Godfather United?
Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns the Superman franchise is up for sale and Paramount producer of the Godfather movies wants to buy it.
Other potential buyers reportedly buzzing around include Amazon, Netflix and Comcast.
WBD CEO David Zaslav says the media company has received unsolicited interest from “multiple parties”.
So WBD’s board of directors has started a “review of strategic alternatives,” which could result in a sale of the entire company, a continuation of the current plan to split the company into two, or some other outcome.
Under the preexisting breakup plan, one side, Warner Bros., would house the HBOMax streaming service and the movie studio, and the other side, Discovery Global, would house CNN and other channels.
💵TRUMP SUING YOU, THE TAXPAYERS: For $230 Million
President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million of YOUR money, in compensation for federal investigations into him.
Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit.
The situation has no parallel in American history, as. Trump, a presidential candidate, was pursued by federal law enforcement and eventually won the election, taking over the very government that must now review his claims.
It is also the starkest example yet of potential ethical conflicts created by installing the president’s former lawyers atop the Justice Department.
🚨HOSTAGES RELEASED: Now The Hard Part
Israel has launched air strikes in southern Gaza, after it said “terrorists fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire toward Israel Defense Forces troops”.
The IDF said the attack in the southern city of Rafah was “a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement” and promised to respond firmly.
Hamas said it was “unaware of any events or clashes taking place in the Rafah area, as these are red zones under the control of the occupation”.
Getting Hamas to give up its weapons, and demilitarizing the Gaza Strip — key preconditions for Israel to pull out of Gaza — could prove a lot harder than the hostage swap. President Trump said that Hamas will disarm as required by his 20-point peace plan or “we will disarm them.”
All 20 freed hostages were taken to hospitals across Israel for medical and psychological care. Doctors said many suffered extreme malnutrition, respiratory infections and skin conditions caused by years in dark, humid tunnels, many of the hostages in isolated cells.
Families said the former captives remain fragile but lucid.Twenty Israeli hostages were freed by Hamas on Monday morning as part of a cease-fire in Gaza, Israel in return releasing nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
With Gaza in ruins, the 200 U.S. troops are in Israel to monitor the implementation of the cease-fire.
251 people were abducted during Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack which resulted in the deaths of 1,219 Israelis, mostly civilians.
Israel’s retaliatory campaign in Gaza has killed at least 67,194 people, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory, figures the United Nations considers

🤖ROBOT UMPIRES: Called Up to Bigs for 2026
Human umpires may be called ‘OUT’ soon!
Robot umpires are getting called up to the big leagues next season.
Major League Baseball’s competition committee approved use of the Automated Ball/Strike System in the major leagues in 2026.
Human plate umpires will still call balls and strikes, but teams can challenge two calls per game and get additional appeals in extra innings. Challenges must be made by a pitcher, catcher or batter — signaled by tapping their helmet or cap — and a team retains its challenge if successful. Reviews will be shown as digital graphics on outfield videoboards.
New York Yankees outfielder Austin Slater, one of four players on the competition committee, said three voted in favor after getting support from 22 of the 30 teams. All six management reps voted in favor.
“I think with any sort of technology, there’s not 100% certainty of the accurateness of the system,” Slater said. “I think the same can be said of umpires. So I think it’s just coming to grips with the impact that technology is going to have and whether or not we were willing to live with that error that was associated with the system, even if the error is very, very miniscule.”
Big league umpires call roughly 94% of pitches correctly, according to UmpScorecards.
🎤EPSTEIN: Trump—Lewd Drawing Not Mine
House Democrats have released a screenshot of what appears to be a letter signed by President Donald Trump, which was included in a collection of notes sent to notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003.
The letter features a conversation between Trump and Epstein inside an apparently hand-drawn outline of a woman’s torso.
Trump’s signature is located just below the hips of the drawing.
The letter is publicly visible for the first time since its existence was first reported by The Wall Street Journal in mid July. Trump has not only denied writing the letter, but sued the newspaper for defamation.
EPSTEIN VICTIMS ANNOUNCE THEY WILL RELEASE THEIR OWN LIST: "We know the names. Many of us were abused by them. We will compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world, and it will be done by survivors and for survivors; no one else involved."
Through tears, a group of women who say they were victimized by Jeffrey Epstein shared their stories on Capitol Hill as they called on lawmakers to support the release of records that the Department of Justice has so far withheld from Congress.
"This is not a hoax. It's not going to go away," said Marina Lacerda, a central witness in Epstein's 2019 indictment.
Ghislaine Maxwell, longtime confidante of the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, told a top administration official she never saw President Trump engage in improper or illegal acts during his long friendship with Epstein, according to interview transcripts released late Friday.
She also insisted that a “client list” of the rich and powerful associated with Mr. Epstein did not exist, and denied any scheme to blackmail his associates.
The transcripts and audio, covering two days of discussions in late July between Ms. Maxwell and Todd Blanche, a former Trump defense lawyer tapped to the No. 2 post at the Justice Department, are likely to raise as many questions as they answer. Ms. Maxwell has been seeking to overturn her 20-year sentence, giving her enormous incentive to tell Mr. Trump’s team what they wanted to hear to avoid spending the rest of her life behind bars.
The Maxwell transcript comes as President Trump and his administration fights to silence critics over apparent backtracking on the ‘Epstein Files’. When asked about a pardon for Maxwell Trump said he hadn’t yet considered it.

💻A.I. : Coming For YOUR JOB
Americans are deeply concerned over the prospect that advances in artificial intelligence could put swaths of the country out of work permanently, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.
Very low rates of Americans with jobs are quitting or being fired each month. But those on the unemployment rolls are now staying there longer than at any time since before the pandemic.
Employers are instead experimenting with AI to make their workforces more productive,
Get this: President Trump on Friday fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner, hours after the agency reported that job growth in the U.S. had slowed.
Uber is just the latest example of artificial intelligence coming for your job.
The company has just announced a partnership to deploy more than 20,000 robotaxis over the next six years as demand for driverless cars kicks into high gear.
As part of the partnership, the ride-hailing company is teaming up with Lucid, the electric vehicle maker, and Nuro, an autonomous vehicle startup. Under the agreement, Uber will invest $300 million in Lucid. Nuro will develop the self-driving technology that Lucid will use to supply Uber with robotaxis over the course of the deal and receive a multi-hundred-million-dollar investment.
The rapid adoption of AI has stirred up worry among many workers, as it is still unknown exactly what the impacts of the technology will be.
The automation of Amazon warehouses is approaching a new milestone: There will soon be as many robots as humans.
The Wall Street Journal reports Amazon has deployed more than one million robots in those workplaces, Amazon said. That is the most it has ever had and near the count of human workers at the facilities.
Meta shares hit a record intraday high, underscoring investor interest in the company’s new ‘AI super-intelligence’ group.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been on an AI hiring blitz amid fierce competition with rivals such as OpenAI and Google-parent Alphabet.
“Artificial intelligence is going to replace literally half of all white-collar workers in the U.S.,” Ford Chief Executive Jim Farley said in an interview last week with author Walter Isaacson at the Aspen Ideas Festival. “AI will leave a lot of white-collar people behind.”
Microsoft will layoff another 9,000 employees. The move is the latest instance of cost-cutting by Big Tech companies as they spend heavily on artificial intelligence. It may also be tied to growing efficiency at these businesses.
🛫RUSSIAN: Drones Shot Down Over Poland
Poland shot down drones that entered its airspace during a widespread Russian attack in western Ukraine, with the NATO member calling the incursion “an act of aggression.”
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that he was in “constant contact” with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Tusk has called for an emergency meeting of the NATO council of ministers, a government spokesman said.
Poland’s military command said drones repeatedly violated Polish airspace during the Russian attack across the border, in western Ukraine.
Leaders across Europe condemned the incident as the latest sign of escalation from the Kremlin, which has rebuffed President Donald Trump's bid to broker peace talks.
Russia labeled the accusations “groundless."
⁉️KAMALA: Blames Biden, Dems For Her Loss
What a crybaby!
Former Vice President Harris suggests in her forthcoming book that former President Biden’s decision to run for reelection last year amounted to “recklessness.”
“And of all the people in the White House, I was in the worst position to make the case that he should drop out,” Harris said in an excerpt for “107 Days” published early Wednesday by The Atlantic. “I knew it would come off to him as incredibly self-serving if I advised him not to run. He would see it as naked ambition, perhaps as poisonous disloyalty, even if my only message was: Don’t let the other guy win.”
“‘It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.’ We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized. Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness,” she added. “The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision.”
🥊TREASURY SECY: Threatens to Punch Housing Official in the Face
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was fed up and threatened to punch the Federal Housing Finance Head in the face.
For weeks, the Treasury secretary believed that Bill Pulte was bad-mouthing him to President Trump.
And then, last Wednesday, the two men found each other face to face at a dinner .
A back-and-forth by the bar ensued. Mr. Bessent demanded to know why Mr. Pulte was trash-talking him to the president, and then threatened to punch him in the face.
📺SUCCESSION: Lachlan Murdoch Gets Fox
It’s a finale worth of TV’s “Succession”.
Lachlan Murdoch has now seized control of Fox News, The New York Post and The Wall Street Journal from which to influence President Trump and world leaders.
In a seismic development in the decades-long media dynasty presided over by Rupert Murdoch, a settlement has been reached in the Nevada legal fight over his family trust.
The settlement will see James and Elisabeth Murdoch and Prudence MacLeod formally cut ties with the family business and surrender all their equity in News Corp and Fox Corp.
They had objected to several aspects of the strategic path taken by Rupert Murdoch, now 94, and appeared to be in position to exercise majority control toward that end after the death of the eldest Murdoch. In part, James and Elizabeth Murdoch, who blazed their own separate trails in the media business, had concerns about Fox News and the close affiliation of the news network with the family.
🎤TOM HANKS: West Point Cancels Award
The alumni association at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point has canceled an award ceremony for actor and veterans advocate Tom Hanks, citing a desire for the Army service academy to focus on preparing future officers for war after several political controversies involving the Trump administration shook the institution this year, The Washington Post reports.
🧑🏭DEPT of WAR: Trump Renames Defense Dept
President Donald Trump is expected to rename the Defense Department the Department of War through an executive order Friday, a move that the administration has said more accurately reflects the mission of the men and women serving in uniform today.
“Restoring the name ‘Department of War’ will sharpen the focus of this Department on our national interest and signal to adversaries America’s readiness to wage war to secure its interests,” according to a document describing the forthcoming executive order.
The administration had been teasing the change for weeks, with Trump telling reporters during an Oval Office meeting last month that the renaming would be coming very soon. On Thursday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in a commencement speech to new military officers at Fort Benning in Georgia said that his job title as “may be a slightly different title tomorrow; we’ll see.”
😷COVID: California Wave
A COVID wave is washing over California, with the state seeing continued increases in the number of newly confirmed cases and hospitalizations as some officials urged the public to take greater precautions.
The extent of the recent increases has prompted some county-level health officials to recommend that residents once again consider wearing masks in indoor public settings, at least until transmission has declined.
California currently has "high" coronavirus levels in sewage, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And increases are being seen across the Golden State, from Los Angeles County to the San Francisco Bay Area to areas around the state capital.
💉NOT HEALTHY: Former CDC Directors—RFK Dangerous
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. doubled down on false claims about vaccines and claimed he isn’t limiting access to Covid shots during his Senate testimony, as senators grilled him on his manic changes to immunization policy and federal health agencies.
Kennedy’s leadership is “unlike anything our country has ever experienced,” nine former directors and acting directors of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention wrote in a scathing guest essay for The New York Times.
The piece came days after President Donald Trump fired CDC director Susan Monarez. Through her lawyers, Monarez has maintained she refused to sign off on reckless and unscientific orders.
Meantime, CVS, the country’s largest pharmacy chain, is currently not offering Covid vaccines in 16 states, even to people who meet newly restricted criteria from the Food and Drug Administration.
Amy Thibault, a spokeswoman for CVS, cited “the current regulatory environment” as the reason the vaccine was not available in those states, or in the District of Columbia, emphasizing that the list could change. Legal experts said that federal decisions were creating an extremely difficult situation for pharmacies to navigate.
