Computer glitch triggers airline delays across the US |
| A computer glitch at the Federal Aviation Administration delayed airline traffic across much of the nation early Wednesday, and the agency said it was investigating what caused the issue as flights resumed. The FAA said it was working to fully restore the affected Notice to Air Mission system, which provides pilots with safety information for the nation's airports. The FAA instituted a nationwide pause on departures for part of the morning Wednesday, but that order had been lifted by 9 a.m. EST. Just after 4:50 p.m. ET, more than 9,000 flights within, into, or out of the U.S. were delayed according to the flight-tracking website FlightAware, and more than 1,300 flights in the country were canceled. See updates on the outage. |

Storms likely to cause more flooding in California |
| The "endless stream of atmospheric river events" that has drenched much of California for two weeks will refocus Wednesday across northern California with heavy rain on the already saturated ground likely to produce more flooding, forecasters said. A wind advisory also was in effect, and gusts of up to 60 mph combined with saturated soils will result in a higher likelihood of downed trees, the National Weather Service said. At least 17 people have died in the wave of ferocious storms that have rolled across the state in the last two weeks. Damage could exceed $1 billion, experts say. The latest on the storms in California. |

'He deceived voters' |
| New York Republicans have called on embattled freshman GOP Rep. George Santos to resign following allegations he lied about his personal and professional credentials to win his congressional seat. Nassau County Republicans on Wednesday called for Santos' resignation during a news conference led by county committee Chairman Joseph Cairo. "He deceived voters," Cairo said. "His lies were not mere fibs. He disgraced the House of Representatives." The local leaders were joined remotely by GOP Rep. Anthony D'Esposito, who also called for Santos to step down. Meanwhile, Santos told reporters he "will not" resign. Read more. |

Students hungry, in debt after Congress axes free school meals |
| Students across the U.S. have racked up significant lunch debt this school year following the end of federal assistance that paid for school meals for more than 50 million students during the pandemic. Community organizations, social media influencers and national nonprofits are trying to help fill the void with donations to cover the more than $19 million in debt students have accrued this school year. Some states are picking up where the federal free meals left off. However, several kids still face going without school lunches or getting smaller, alternative school meals when they return to school because of their negative balances.
