$1 billion SCOTUS music piracy case could shut off your internet |
The entertainment industry's battle to stop music from being illegally copied and shared hits the Supreme Court on Monday. |
| • | Cox was sued by Sony Music Entertainment and more than 50 other record labels. A jury sided with the music industry and said Cox owed $1 billion in damages. | | • | The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals threw out the damages. The Supreme Court agreed to hear Cox's appeal over whether the company can still be held liable for "materially contributing" to copyright infringement. | | • | The standard the 4th Circuit applied, Cox's lawyers told the Supreme Court, would leave internet service providers no choice but to cut off service to homes, military barracks, hospitals and hotels based only on a "bare accusation" against one user at an IP address. | |
Suspect still on the run after shooting at child's birthday party in California |
The suspect remains at large following a shooting at a child's birthday party in California that left four people dead and 11 injured. Gunfire erupted inside a banquet hall Nov. 29 in Stockton, where between 100 and 150 people had gathered, authorities said. Three children — ages 8, 9 and 14 — and a 21-year-old were killed. Authorities appealed for anyone with information to contact them. "This is the time for our community to show that we will not put up with this type of behavior where people will just walk in and kill children," San Joaquin County Sheriff Patrick Withrow said. | A door is riddled with bullet holes at a banquet hall in Stockton on Nov. 30, 2025 where a mass shooting at a children's birthday party occurred on Saturday, Nov. 29.

Mark Kelly says committee will hold hearing on boat survivor strike |
Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Arizona, said on "Meet the Press" that the Senate Armed Services will hold a public hearing on potentially illegal military orders issued by U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth in the Caribbean Sea. "We're going to put these people under oath and we're going to find out what happened," Kelly said, referring to military members involved in a Sept. 2 strike ordered by Hegseth on survivors of an initial hit on a boat that the Trump administration claimed was carrying drug cargo, as reported by The Washington Post. |
Snowstorms threaten to disrupt post-Thanksgiving travel |
Another snowstorm expected to blanket large swaths of the United States early in the week threatens to disrupt post-Thanksgiving travel for millions of Americans. A wave of cold air will settle across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and Central Plains, paving the way for snowstorms, according to AccuWeather meteorologists. Forecasters say as much as 6 inches of snow could fall by Tuesday in some areas, creating challenges on the roads and in the air, days after another system dropped more than a foot of snow in parts of the Midwest and caused thousands of flight cancellations over the weekend. |
She saw nine doctors to get help for perimenopause. Here's why. |
Julie Andresen couldn't sleep. She was sweating through her pajamas and sheets each night. She was so exhausted that she considered quitting her job of 30 years. Then came the hot flashes. She woke up several times during the night to use the bathroom. She saw nine doctors over five years. She was told to ignore the symptoms, and they eventually would go away. She finally turned to a gynecologist who didn't take health insurance. Within a week, she was told she was in perimenopause and prescribed hormone replacement therapy. Many women say they feel gaslit, ignored and dismissed by their own doctors. |
Photo of the day: Palm Springs man brings healing through AIDS quilt-making class |
Jeff Bosacki took a trip to Europe in 1987, treating it as one last hurrah — he expected to die soon from his HIV diagnosis. When he returned to the United States, he went to Washington, DC, where the AIDS Memorial Quilt was first displayed in its entirety on the National Mall, aimed at drawing attention to the AIDS crisis and honoring those who died. Nearly 40 years later, he's guiding people through the quilt-making process, most recently in Palm Springs, where residents came together to honor deceased loved ones ahead of World AIDS Day on Dec. 1. | Jeff Bosacki shows off the variety of fabrics and other quilting materials he's received from donations over the years that he has available for students to make quilts at the LGBTQ Center in Palm Springs, Calif., Thursday, Nov. 13, 2025.
