Close out the week with Friday's news: |
An Oval Office trap, or space for common ground? |
| • | Similar, but different: Trump, a 79-year-old Republican, and Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, are diametrically opposed in style and substance. However, both are New Yorkers with ardent supporters — who ran winning campaigns that addressed affordability. | |
Trump decries Dems as seditionists |
President Donald Trump accused six Democratic Congress members of "seditious behavior, punishable by death" after the lawmakers made a video urging servicemembers to resist illegal orders. |
| • | Is that possible? Legal experts told USA TODAY that the president's accusations would likely fall apart in court. And, according to legal statute, sedition is punishable by a fine and up to 20 years in prison, not death. That hasn't stopped a number of Trump's supporters to call for the death penalty. | |
| • | The plane in a deadly UPS crash had "cracks" in an engine mount, NTSB says. | | • | Dick Cheney's funeral was a reunion of VPs and 2000s déjà vu. | | • | Charlotte officials and feds disagree on whether an immigration crackdown is over. | | • | The CDC changed wording about vaccines and autism on its website. | |
Why the unemployment rate rose |
A delayed jobs report showed U.S. employers added 119,000 jobs in September, surpassing expectations, but the unemployment rate inched up from 4.3% in August to 4.4% in September — the highest in nearly four years. The report, originally due out Oct. 3, reflects what was happening before the shutdown began. The labor market may have changed since the data was collected. |
'Very treatable' sepsis is often a death sentence for inmates |
Arrests for infractions as minor as trespassing or a missed probation meeting turn into death sentences when correctional facilities delay or deny medical care that inmates need. Grieving families then sue for millions, often leaving taxpayers to foot the bill. A USA TODAY investigation found these preventable deaths happen hundreds of times each year in jails and prisons scattered from coast to coast. Without fail, everyone USA TODAY spoke with who lost someone to sepsis in correctional facilities echoed a sense of disbelief. |
Say goodbye to Thanksgiving gravy? |
Filling a plate and not eating it all; Wearing a new style; Refusing seconds: As GLP-1s go mainstream, it's more likely than not someone at your Thanksgiving table will look or eat differently this year.
