December 2, 2025

By BINSAR BAKKARA and NINIEK KARMINI - Associated Press

Emergency crews are racing to reach survivors and recover bodies after catastrophic floods and landslides in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Malaysia. The death toll has surged past 1,300, with nearly 1,000 people missing. Days of heavy monsoon rains have left thousands stranded. On Tuesday, authorities reported 753 deaths in Indonesia, 410 in Sri Lanka, 181 in Thailand and three in Malaysia. In Indonesia, rescuers are struggling to access villages on Sumatra island due to washed-out roads and collapsed bridges. Helicopters and boats are deployed, but worsening weather and damaged infrastructure are slowing operations.

The Latest: US envoy Witkoff meets Putin in Moscow

December 2, 2025

By The Associated Press

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff is meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Tuesday over a peace plan to end the war with Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is visiting Ireland during his European tour to shore up support against Russia’s invasion. U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan for Ukraine would cede land to Russia and limit the size of Kyiv’s military, according to a draft obtained last month by The Associated Press. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner would join the meeting between Putin and Witkoff. He said the talks would take “as long as needed.”

Winter’s first big snowstorm hits the Northeast as schools close and traffic slows

December 2, 2025

By PATRICK WHITTLE - Associated Press

The first major winter storm has hit the Northeast and mid-Atlantic, covering the area with snow and ice. On Tuesday, roads became hazardous, travel was disrupted and schools closed. States like Massachusetts, Maine and New York faced significant snowfall. Hundreds of flights were delayed, and roads turned dangerous before sunrise. In West Virginia, a tractor-trailer driver was rescued from his cab after it dangled from a bridge for hours. The storm began as a weaker system over the central U.S. but has strengthened near the coast. Winter weather advisories remain in place, and residents are urged to delay travel.

Federal authorities plan operation in Minnesota focusing on Somali immigrants, AP source says

December 2, 2025

By MIKE BALSAMO and STEVE KARNOWSKI - Associated Press

Federal authorities are preparing an immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota, focusing on Somali immigrants living unlawfully in the U.S. The operation, which could begin soon, targets people in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area with final deportation orders. This move follows President Trump’s recent rhetoric about the Somali community, which has heightened tensions. The president said on Tuesday that he doesn’t want Somali immigrants in the U.S. because “they contribute nothing.” Minnesota has the largest Somali community in the nation. Many fled the civil war in Somalia and were drawn to the state’s welcoming programs. Community leaders worry the operation may lead to arrests of U.S. citizens and others lacking legal status.

Michael and Susan Dell donate $6.25 billion to encourage families to claim ‘Trump Accounts’

December 2, 2025

By THALIA BEATY - Associated Press

Billionaires Michael and Susan Dell pledged a historic $6.25 billion on Tuesday to provide an incentive to families to adopt new investment accounts for children. The so-called “Trump Accounts” were created as part of President Donald Trump’s tax and spending legislation but have not yet launched. The gift has little precedent in terms of size, with few single charitable commitments in the past 25 years exceeding $1 billion. Through their gift, the Dells will deposit $250 into the investment accounts of 25 million children aged 10 and younger as an incentive for their families to claim the accounts and make investments in the stock market.

Wall Street holds steadier as bond yields and bitcoin stabilize

December 2, 2025

By STAN CHOE - AP Business Writer

The U.S. stock market held steadier as both bond yields and bitcoin stabilized. The S&P 500 rose 0.2% Tuesday, following its first loss in six days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.4%, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 0.6%. Boeing was one of the strongest forces lifting the market after it gave an encouraging forecast for how much cash it will produce next year. That helped offset losses for Signet Jewelers and Procter & Gamble, which highlighted potential challenges for U.S. households. Treasury yields eased following their jumps the day before. Bitcoin rose back above $91,000 after tumbling below $85,000 on Monday.

Venezuela to continue accepting deported migrants despite Trump’s airspace closure assertion

December 2, 2025

By REGINA GARCIA CANO - Associated Press

U.S.-operated flights returning deported migrants to Venezuela will continue despite President Donald Trump’s assertion to consider the country’s airspace closed. Venezuela’s government announced Tuesday that the twice-weekly flights will proceed following a request from the Trump administration. This reverses a previous announcement that U.S. authorities had suspended the flights. An application by Eastern Airlines for a Wednesday arrival was made public by Venezuela’s foreign affairs minister. Venezuelans have been steadily deported this year after President Nicolás Maduro, under U.S. pressure, ended his policy of not accepting deportees. More than 13,000 migrants have been deported this year.

Quinnen Williams won’t say it, but there’s no denying his impact on the Dallas defense

December 2, 2025

By SCHUYLER DIXON - AP Pro Football Writer

Quinnen Williams disregards the notion that the standout defensive tackle’s arrival in a trade is the best explanation for a dramatic turnaround by the defense of the Dallas Cowboys. Teammates and coaches agree — to a point. Coach Brian Schottenheimer says the presence of Williams is real and gives teammates more chances to shine. Here’s the reality. Dallas is 3-0 since giving the New York Jets a 2027 first-round draft pick, a second-rounder next year and underperforming defensive tackle Mazi Smith to acquire Williams at the trade deadline. And the defense is a big part of the surge. The Cowboys visit Detroit on Thursday night.

Some friendly, some on-the-news questions at first briefing for new Pentagon press corps

December 2, 2025

By DAVID BAUDER - AP Media Writer

The Pentagon press secretary has held her first briefing since most nonpartisan news outlets were replaced by friendly media representatives willing to accept new rules imposed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The briefing Tuesday was a mix of on-the-news questions and those designed to advance the point of view of President Donald Trump’s administration. Among the topics that interested the latest crop of reporters: the National Guard in American cities, military action in Iran and Somalia, an investigation into former President Joe Biden, potential legal action against The Washington Post and efforts to root out disloyal employees. Kingsley Wilson, Hegseth’s press secretary, said news outlets that chose to “self-deport” won’t be missed at the Pentagon.

Costco becomes biggest company yet to demand refund of Trump tariffs

December 2, 2025

By PAUL WISEMAN - AP Economics Writer

Costco is joining other companies that aren’t waiting to see whether the Supreme Court strikes down President Donald Trump’s most sweeping import taxes. They’re already going to court to demand refunds on the tariffs they’ve paid. The Court of Trade and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington ruled earlier this year that Trump’s biggest and boldest import taxes are illegal. The case is now before the Supreme Court. In a Nov. 5 hearing, several of the high court’s justices expressed doubts that the president had sweeping power to declare national emergencies to impose tariffs on goods from almost every country on earth. The government might be forced to pay back the money it’s collected.

Serena Williams says she is not coming back to tennis

December 2, 2025

By HOWARD FENDRICH - AP Tennis Writer

Serena Williams has thrown cold water on the idea that she might be preparing to return to tennis. Williams wrote on social media Tuesday that she is “NOT coming back,” after a spokesman for the International Tennis Integrity Agency said the 23-time Grand Slam champion had registered with the sport’s drug-testing body. That is the first step that would be required by a player seeking to come out of retirement. The 44-year-old Williams has not competed since the 2022 U.S. Open. At the time, Williams said she didn’t want to use the word “retiring” and instead declared that she was “evolving” away from tennis.

December 2, 2025

By ANNE D'INNOCENZIO - AP Retail Writer

The nation’s shoppers may feel gloomy about the economy, but they certainly were in the mood to shop over the five-day Thanksgiving weekend that wrapped up on Cyber Monday. Wall Street analysts and retailers are sifting through the data from the weekend _ the unofficial start to the season and a good barometer of shoppers’ financial health and the strength of the economy.

Shoppers were very focused and selective, malls reported. Now the question is: whether shoppers will keep spending for the season and into 2026.

Supreme Court likely to rule in favor of abortion opponents in challenge to state investigation

December 2, 2025

By LINDSAY WHITEHURST - Associated Press

The Supreme Court seemed likely on Tuesday to side with a faith-based pregnancy center challenging an investigation into whether it misled people to discourage abortions. The facilities often known as “crisis pregnancy centers” have been on the rise in the U.S., especially since the Supreme Court overturned abortion as a nationwide right in 2022. The justices are considering whether a facility in New Jersey can sue the Democratic attorney general in federal court over a subpoena for donor information. A majority of the justices seemed to agree that the group raised a free-speech concern worthy of federal court.
