Trump gives disaster declarations to Alaska and others but denies Illinois, Vermont and Maryland
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump has approved major disaster declarations for Alaska, Nebraska, North Dakota and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe. However, he denied requests from Vermont, Illinois and Maryland. The disaster declarations made late Wednesday allow the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide financial assistance for repairing public infrastructure and, in some cases, help survivors with repairs and temporary housing. Trump has approved more disaster declarations than denied this year but has also suggested “phasing out” FEMA. The administration has taken longer to approve requests than previous ones, causing delays in crucial projects and assistance for survivors.

States worry about how to fill the gap in food aid ahead of a federal benefits halt
SUMMARY: A federal food aid program that helps about one in eight Americans buy groceries stands to be paused Nov. 1 because of the government shutdown. Officials in Louisiana, Vermont and Virginia say they'll keep the programs alive, though how they'll do it isn't clear. Even some states that want to step in to fill the gap have found they can’t. Recipients of the food aid, food banks, states and advocates are bracing for a pause to payments from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program at the end of next week. Some states have looked into funding food assistance themselves but they're finding that federal control of some key details of the program is a major obstacle.

Black enrollment is waning at many elite colleges after affirmative action ban, AP analysis finds
SUMMARY: An Associated Press analysis finds that the number of Black students enrolling at many elite colleges has dropped in the two years since the Supreme Court banned affirmative action in admissions. New enrollment figures from 20 selective colleges provide mounting evidence of a backslide in Black enrollment. Many campuses have also seen decreases in Hispanic enrollment, though they have been more scattered and less pronounced. At Princeton and some others, the number of new Black students has fallen by nearly half. Some colleges attribute it to natural fluctuations. Some students say the changes are too big to ignore.

Government shutdown continues to add to stress on air traffic controllers and disrupt flights
SUMMARY: The ongoing government shutdown continues to disrupt flights and put pressure on air traffic controllers who are working without pay. Flights were delayed Thursday at major airports like LaGuardia and Newark due to air traffic controller shortages. Many Federal Aviation Administration facilities are critically short on controllers, leading to disruptions. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy plans to hold a news conference Friday to highlight the stress on controllers. Some have taken second jobs to pay bills. The shutdown began on Oct. 1, and airlines and unions are urging Congress to reach an agreement to end it.

DOJ prepares to send election monitors to California, New Jersey following requests from state GOPs
SUMMARY: The Department of Justice is preparing to send federal election observers to California and New Jersey next month, targeting two Democratic states holding off-year elections following requests from their state Republican parties. The DOJ is announcing Friday that it is planning to monitor polling sites in six jurisdictions: Passaic County, New Jersey, and Los Angeles, Orange, Kern, Riverside and Fresno counties in California “to ensure transparency, ballot security, and compliance with federal law.” Both states feature races of national prominence in an otherwise low-key election year — a governor's race in New Jersey and a congressional redistricting special election in California.

Suspect charged with murder in Kada Scott's death as video reveals a possible accomplice
SUMMARY: Investigators say they have video evidence suggesting two people may have been involved in moving and burying the body of Kada Scott, a Philadelphia woman who disappeared Oct. 4. Prosecutors filed murder charges Thursday against Keon King, a 21-year-old Delaware resident. The medical examiner says Scott was shot in the head. A police affidavit filed this week says video footage shows two people removing a heavy object that's consistent with a human body from a car. Scott’s remains were found nearby in a shallow grave about two weeks later. A message seeking comment was left for King's lawyer. King was ordered held without bail.

Chiefs could be without starting left side of offensive line against the Commanders
SUMMARY: The Kansas City Chiefs could be missing key players on the left side of their offensive line against the Washington Commanders on Monday night. Left guard Trey Smith is dealing with back spasms while tackle Josh Simmons is handling a family issue. Smith's issues began last week, forcing Mike Caliendo into the lineup. Coach Andy Reid expressed confidence in Caliendo, who started three games last season. Jaylon Moore has been filling in for Simmons. In other news, running back Kareem Hunt will miss practice because of a knee injury, leaving Isiah Pacheco and rookie Brashard Smith in the backfield.

Bears defense should be put to the test by Derrick Henry and Baltimore's running game
SUMMARY: Whether Lamar Jackson plays or not, he might not be at completely full strength. So look for the Baltimore Ravens to try to get Derrick Henry going this weekend against Chicago. Although the Bears have won four straight, their defense isn’t as strong as some of the other teams Baltimore has faced. This is also the first time linebacker Roquan Smith faces the Bears since they traded him to Baltimore in 2022. Smith was at practice this week after missing two games with a hamstring injury.

Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel return to practice for the Commanders
SUMMARY: Wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel have returned to practice for the Washington Commanders. But coach Dan Quinn confirmed Thursday that quarterback Jayden Daniels will miss the team’s game against the Chiefs. McLaurin sat out four games after hurting his quadriceps muscle on a catch in Week 3, while Samuel missed Sunday’s 44-22 loss to the Cowboys with a heel problem that bothered him for a while but hadn’t prevented him from playing until now. With both of them sidelined, and Noah Brown on injured reserve with groin and knee issues, Daniels was without his three top wideouts against Dallas. Daniels then hurt his right hamstring and left the game in the third quarter, replaced by Marcus Mariota.

American Donnell Whittenburg finally claims gold in 6th appearance at world gymnastics championships
SUMMARY: Donnell Whittenburg has claimed gold on still rings at the world gymnastics championships. The 31-year-old American scored 14.700, edging out competitors from Turkey and China. The gold is the first by an American man on rings at worlds, and the first by Whittenburg during a career that spans well over a decade. Women's all-around champion Angelina Melnikova of Russia, competing as a neutral athlete, earned another gold on vault and added a silver on uneven bars behind world and Olympic champion Kaylia Nemour of Algeria.

Yes, that's Navy with an undefeated record — and one of the nation's most explosive offenses
SUMMARY: For a football team that doesn't exactly load up on five-star recruits, Navy can make long scoring plays look comically easy. The Midshipmen come out of a bye week as one of six remaining unbeaten teams in the FBS — and the only one outside the Power Four conferences. In some ways, the aesthetic is what you’d expect from a service academy. The Midshipmen run more often than they pass, and option concepts are certainly involved. But Navy’s modern version of an old-school offense is downright explosive, with a combination of shifts, fakes, motion and misdirection that can cause chaos on the defensive side of the ball.

Ravens add potential pass rush help, signing defensive end Carl Lawson to their practice squad
SUMMARY: The Baltimore Ravens have signed defensive end Carl Lawson to their practice squad. Lawson had five sacks in 15 games for the Dallas Cowboys last season, and now the 30-year-old joins a Baltimore team that needs help with its pass rush. The Ravens lost defensive lineman Nnamdi Madubuike to a season-ending neck issue, and they traded edge rusher Odafe Oweh for secondary help. Baltimore hosts Chicago on Sunday, then plays at Miami on Thursday night. It’s not clear how quickly Lawson will be able to get up to speed. Baltimore released tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden.

SUMMARY: The New York Giants are set to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. The Eagles are favored by 7 1/2 points. Both teams have identical records against the spread at 4-3.

Tyrod Taylor says he's still unaware if he'll be the Jets' starting quarterback against the Bengals
SUMMARY: The New York Jets are keeping their starting quarterback decision under wraps for their game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Coach Aaron Glenn says he knows who will start but isn't revealing it publicly. Tyrod Taylor, who played the second half of last week's loss to Carolina, says he doesn't know if he'll start over Justin Fields. Fields was benched after poor performances and owner Woody Johnson criticized the quarterback play. Glenn insists the decision is his, not influenced by Johnson. Taylor is on the injury report with a knee issue but feels ready to play.

Joe Flacco, Bengals look to continue momentum when they host winless Jets
SUMMARY: The Cincinnati Bengals look to get back to the .500 mark when they host the winless New York Jets on Sunday. Joe Flacco has given the Bengals hope they can be competitive with franchise QB Joe Burrow sidelined after passing for 342 yards and three touchdowns in last week's 33-31 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jets coach Aaron Glenn was contemplating his quarterback decision early in the week and didn’t want to reveal whether it would be Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor, citing a competitive advantage. Owner Woody Johnson, speaking at the NFL owners meetings, pinned a lot of the blame for New York’s 0-7 start on the quarterback play.

Trey Hendrickson proving to be critical piece of Bengals pass rush
SUMMARY: Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson is day to day leading up to Sunday’s game against the New York Jets. The All-Pro has been limited in practice this week. His availability will significantly impact the Bengals’ defensive strategy. Hendrickson, who led the NFL in sacks in 2024, has four sacks in six games this season. Last week, the Bengals’ defense struggled without him, recording no sacks in a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

SUMMARY: Macklin Celebrini had his second career hat trick and set up Will Smith’s goal in overtime as part of a five-point game as the San Jose Sharks picked up their first win of the season by beating the New York Rangers 6-5. Celebrini scored in the first period, then twice in the second to become the 15th player in NHL history with multiple hat tricks before turning 20. In the third, he had the secondary assist on Will Smith’s goal that came 1 second after a lengthy 5-on-3 power play expired.

Heavyweights Matt Rempe and Ryan Reaves drop the gloves for a throwback hockey fight
SUMMARY: Two of the NHL’s biggest heavyweights dropped the gloves for a knockout, drag-out, old-school hockey fight at center ice at Madison Square Garden. Matt Rempe of the New York Rangers challenged Ryan Reaves of the San Jose Sharks to a fight after Reaves knocked Juuso Parssinen off his skates. Reaves’ helmet fell off, and then he was able to knock off Rempe’s with his next right. The two exchanged blows for more than 20 seconds with the crowd buzzing.

Trey Yesavage and Roki Sasaki just arrived in the majors. They've been postseason stars anyway
SUMMARY: Trey Yesavage and Roki Sasaki are barely babes in the woods when it comes to Major League Baseball experience. Which only makes their postseason success more impressive. Both in the minors last month, Yesavage and Sasaki are suddenly two of the most important pitchers in the World Series as the Toronto Blue Jays take on the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers beginning Friday night. Neither rookie has turned 24 yet or appeared in more than 17 big league games. Yesavage, however, has two wins as the No. 2 starter in Toronto's playoff rotation. And after missing 4 1/2 months with a shoulder injury, Sasaki shifted to the bullpen and began closing for the Dodgers.

Here’s how indictment says Terry Rozier shared information that paid off for bettors
SUMMARY: An indictment says gambling money flowed after NBA player Terry Rozier told a pal that he would be exiting early from a game with the Charlotte Hornets in 2023.

McCarthy was the emergency No. 3 quarterback for the second straight game while Carson Wentz took another beating during Minnesota’s 37-10 loss to the Chargers on Thursday night. Was McCarthy held out because he hasn’t fully recovered from his ankle injury or was Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell protecting him behind an injury-riddled offensive line that allowed Wentz to take a pounding? Only O’Connell knows that answer.

The rise of transient transfers: How college basketball's new era is reshaping the game
SUMMARY: PJ Haggerty is set to be the face of Kansas State basketball this season. He’s one of many players who have transferred multiple times since the NCAA allowed easier movement between schools in August 2022. This change, along with compensation for name, image and likeness, has transformed college basketball, creating a free agency-like environment. Haggerty will be playing for his fourth school in four years. Players like Haggerty face challenges such as adapting to new places and academic hurdles. While some embrace the journey, others like Nick Martinelli of Northwestern and Nate Bittle of Oregon value stability, staying at one school to build a strong foundation.
