AP

Tennessee coach Kim Caldwell announced Sunday that she has dismissed senior guard Ruby Whitehorn from the eighth-ranked Lady Vols, saying it was her responsibility to protect the program’s high standards.

She pleaded guilty Sept. 5 to two misdemeanors of aggravated trespassing and aggravated burglary in exchange for judicial diversion after the Aug. 8 altercation. Campus police reportedly stopped Whitehorn early on Thursday and charged her with a misdemeanor after finding her in possession of marijuana. The Lady Vols open the season Tuesday night at No. 9 N.C. State.

Trump’s testing plans for US nuclear weapons won’t include explosions, energy secretary says

November 2, 2025

By AAMER MADHANI - Associated Press

Energy Secretary Chris Wright says that new tests of the U.S. nuclear weapons system ordered up by President Donald Trump will not include nuclear explosions. Wright in a Fox News interview on Sunday clarified the Trump administration’s plans. Trump in a social media post last week said that he had “instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis.” Trump in the days since making that pronouncement had been coy when asked by reporters about whether he was ordering the resumption of explosive testing of nuclear weapons or calling for the testing of U.S. systems that could deliver a nuclear weapon.

November 2, 2025

By RENATA BRITO - Associated Press

Israel says the remains of three hostages have been handed over from Gaza and will be examined by forensic experts as a month-old ceasefire holds. A Hamas statement earlier said the remains were found Sunday in a tunnel in southern Gaza. Before Sunday, Palestinian militants had released the remains of 17 hostages, with 11 remaining in Gaza, since the ceasefire began on Oct. 10. Militants have released one or two bodies every few days. Israel has urged faster progress, and in certain cases it has said the remains aren’t of any hostage. Hamas says the work is complicated by widespread devastation.

By SUSAN HAIGH and DYLAN LOVAN - Associated Press

Long lines have formed at food pantries across the U.S. as federal food benefits were cut off due to the government shutdown. People are turning to free meals and groceries to replace their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits. The Department of Agriculture planned to withhold payments, but two federal judges ordered the administration to continue them. However, it’s unclear when benefits will resume, causing fear and confusion. Food pantries are seeing increased demand, with many people arriving early to secure essentials. The delay highlights financial vulnerabilities and the widespread need for assistance.

Government shutdown threatens to delay home heating aid for millions of low-income families

November 2, 2025

By SUSAN HAIGH and MARC LEVY - Associated Press

Millions of low-income families may face delays in receiving home heating aid due to the ongoing federal government shutdown. The federally funded heating and cooling assistance program, known as LIHEAP, serves 5.9 million households. Many of these families are also at risk of losing federal food benefits. States like Pennsylvania and Minnesota have warned applicants about potential delays in receiving heating benefits this winter. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services blames the delay and government shutdown on congressional Democrats. As temperatures drop, advocates worry the delay could have serious impacts on vulnerable households.

‘Regretting You’ and ‘Black Phone 2’ neck-in-neck on slow Halloween box office weekend

November 2, 2025

By LINDSEY BAHR - AP Film Writer

The movie exhibition business is wrapping up one of its slowest Octobers in over 25 years with a sluggish Halloween weekend. Studios avoided major new releases with Halloween on a Friday. Instead, several re-releases hit theaters, including “Back to the Future” for its 40th anniversary. Universal’s “Black Phone 2” and Paramount’s “Regretting You” both claimed the top spot, with “Regretting You” ultimately taking it with $8.1 million. The Netflix phenomenon “KPop Demon Hunters” was also back in theaters, though it wasn’t as successful as its run in August. The month’s total ticket sales are the lowest since 1998, excluding October 2020 during the pandemic.

By AAMER MADHANI - Associated Press

President Donald Trump says Chinese President Xi Jinping has given him assurances that Beijing would take no action toward its long-stated goal of unifying Taiwan with mainland China while the Republican leader is in office. Trump said in an interview with CBS’ program “60 Minutes” airing Sunday that Xi “has openly said and his people have said: We would never do anything while President Trump is president because they know the consequences.” U.S. officials have long been concerned about the possibility of China using military force against Taiwan, the self-ruled island democracy claimed by Beijing.

The incident occurred on Saturday in downtown Hermosillo, the capital of Sonora state. Six people remained hospitalized on Sunday morning.

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed condolences and is coordinating support for victims’ families and the injured.

Fears grow for thousands trapped in Sudan’s el-Fasher as few reach safety

November 2, 2025

By NOHA ELHENNAWY - Associated Press

An aid group reports that only a few thousand Sudanese have escaped atrocities by Sudan’s paramilitary forces in el-Fasher city. The Rapid Support Forces took control of the western Darfur region last week, ousting the Sudanese army. Reports and videos have circulated of RSF atrocities against civilians, including beatings, killings, and sexual assaults. According to the U.N. migration agency, tens of thousands are believed to have fled el-Fasher. However, less than 6,000 have reached the nearest humanitarian camp in Tawila. Survivors describe dodging gunmen as they fled, arriving disoriented and dehydrated.

The end of federal food aid could hit Black Americans hardest

November 2, 2025

By TERRY TANG, JAYLEN GREEN and GRAHAM LEE BREWER - Associated Press

One in eight Americans use federal food aid but halting the SNAP program would hurt Black Americans more than anyone else. Problems with monthly SNAP payments would be part of the fallout from the federal government shutdown. Black Americans are less than 14% of the U.S. population but a quarter of more than 40 million SNAP recipients. Historians and advocates say that’s an example of systemic racism. Even without formal prejudice, America’s long history of racism — from slavery to unfair zoning rules — has left Black communities with a series of major hurdles.

By REBECCA BOONE - Associated Press

Police in a Chicago suburb are gathering evidence after a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle crash led to a violent arrest caught on video. The episode took place Friday in Evanston. It included an agent punching a man in the head who was pinned to the ground. Videos show the crowd trying to interfere, with agents using pepper spray at times and pointing guns. The Department of Homeland Security later said the officer who hit the man in the head delivered “defensive strikes” after the man “grabbed the agent’s genitals and squeezed.” Federal agents have been active in Evanston as part of stepped-up immigration enforcement.

Tariffs are Trump’s favorite foreign policy tool. The Supreme Court could change how he uses them

November 2, 2025

By MICHELLE L. PRICE - Associated Press

For President Donald Trump, tariffs — or the threat of them — can bend nations to his will. The president has used them not only as the underpinning of his economic agenda, but as the cornerstone of his foreign policy in his second term. Next week, the Supreme Court hears arguments on whether Trump has overstepped federal law with many of his sweeping tariffs. If the court rules against him, it could limit or even take away the swift and blunt leverage that much of his foreign policy has relied on. Trump has increasingly expressed anxiety about the case on social media and in speeches.

East Wing ballroom donations by corporate owners create awkward moments for news outlets

By DAVID BAUDER - AP Media Writer

President Donald Trump’s razing of the White House’s East Wing to build a ballroom has meant for some awkward moments for news outlets. Comcast, the corporate owner of NBC News and MSNBC, is among the corporate and personal donors that funded the project. So is Amazon, whose founder Jeff Bezos is also the owner of The Washington Post. The Post editorialized in favor of Trump’s renovation, but did not immediately disclose Bezos’ involvement. Comcast’s donation came under some heavy criticism by MSNBC personalities, including Rachel Maddow and Stephanie Ruhle. It’s not the first time during the Trump administration that corporate owners acted in a way to make its journalists uncomfortable

AP has declared winners in elections for nearly 180 years. This is why and how race calls are made

November 2, 2025

By MAYA SWEEDLER - Associated Press

The Associated Press will compile votes and declare winners in elections across the U.S. on Tuesday, just as the news organization has done for nearly 180 years. The U.S. doesn’t have a nationwide body that collects and releases election results. Elections are administered locally, by thousands of offices, following standards set by the states. In many cases, the states themselves don’t even offer up-to-date tracking of election results. AP fills this gap by compiling vote results and declaring winners in elections — providing critical information in the period between Election Day and the official certification of results, which typically takes weeks.

A Michigan defense lawyer is disputing FBI allegations that his 20-year-old client and four others planned a terror attack on Halloween weekend. FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrests on Friday, however authorities have offered few details. Two people briefed on the investigation say it involved online chat room discussions among the suspects. Lawyer Amir Makled, representing one of the detained, argues there was no terror plot. He says he doesn’t expect charges to be filed against the group of males, ages 16 to 20, who are being investigated. Authorities say the plot was inspired by Islamic State group extremism.

Shohei Ohtani chased in third inning of World Series Game 7 after Bo Bichette’s 3-run HR

November 2, 2025

By IAN HARRISON - AP Baseball Writer

Shohei Ohtani was pulled off the mound in Game 7 of the World Series after allowing Bo Bichette’s three-run homer in the third inning. Pitching on three days of rest, Ohtani was up to 100.9 mph with his fastball but appeared to run out of steam in the third. After hustling to field Nathan Lukes’ sacrifice bunt, Ohtani threw a wild pitch to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts intentionally walked Guerrero after that, and Ohtani’s next pitch, his 51st, was a hanging slider that Bichette hit 442 feet. It was Bichette’s first homer since Sept. 2, a few days before suffering the left knee injury still hampering him in this Series.

By EILEEN NG - Associated Press

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says Washington and Beijing will establish military-to-military communications channels, adding that bilateral ties between the countries have “never been better.” His remarks posted on X early Sunday came hours after he urged Southeast Asian nations to stand firm and strengthen their maritime forces to counter China’s increasingly “destabilizing” actions in the South China Sea. Hegseth said he spoke to President Donald Trump and that they agreed “the relationship between the U.S. and China has never been better.” Trump’s meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in South Korea earlier this week “set the tone for everlasting peace and success for the U.S. and China,” added Hegseth, who left Malaysia on Sunday for Hanoi.

Drake Lindsey scored on a 3-yard run in overtime and Minnesota denied Michigan State its first Big Ten Conference win of the season with a 23-20 victory. Michigan State (3-6, 0-6) had the ball first in OT but had to settle for Martin Connington’s 36-yard field goal for a 20-17 lead. A pass interference call on third-and-4 kept the drive alive for Minnesota (6-3, 4-2) and Lindsey capped the rally when he scored on a third-and-goal rush to the left. It was a wild finish after the Golden Gophers took a 10-0 lead into halftime.
