7 Biggest Questions Hanging on Election Day 2025

Off-year races in states like Virginia, New Jersey and California are seen as important early barometers of how voters feel about Democrats fighting against Trump and his aggressive policies.

Democrats are looking to bounce back from a boom in 2024, while Republicans are working to slow the typical momentum in which a party loses power, nearly a year after President Donald Trump won a second term and as voters head to the polls on Nov. 4 in a race that will give them a clue as to how voters are feeling.

Off-year elections in New Jersey, Virginia, California, New York City and elsewhere are seen as important early barometers of how voters feel about Democrats fighting President Trump and his aggressive policies.

The president has become a prominent figure in the campaign, appearing in ads and being a frequent topic of discussion during debates, as Democrats decry the president’s record and Republicans support him. President Trump is being careful, promoting Republican candidates and taking aim at his opponents on social media.

The 2025 elections include races for governor and other low-ballot seats in New Jersey and Virginia, high-profile voting initiatives in California, a state Supreme Court retention race in Pennsylvania, and mayoral races across the country, particularly in New York City.

The election is a precursor to next year’s more consequential midterm elections, which will determine control of Congress and, with it, the fate of Mr. Trump’s legislative agenda. The results on November 4 will be closely scrutinized to determine which party will have the upper hand in the midterm elections next November. Here are seven big questions surrounding the election.

Who has the momentum?

New Jersey and Virginia haven’t voted for a Republican president in decades, but gubernatorial races can still be swings, and these races are an indication of what might happen in the midterm elections.

Parties that do not occupy the White House tend to do well in these gubernatorial races, and that momentum carries over into the midterm elections.

Republicans won both gubernatorial races in 2009 under President Barack Obama, Democrats won both gubernatorial races in 2017 under President Trump, and in 2021 under President Joe Biden, Republicans won the governor’s mansion in Virginia and came close in New Jersey.

Democrats are favored to win both gubernatorial races this year, so a Republican upset in either state would bode badly for the party, which is currently locked out of power in Washington. A slim Democratic victory in one or both elections could also be a sign of trouble. Republicans are particularly focused on New Jersey. In New Jersey, President Trump will significantly narrow his margin of loss in 2024, and Republican candidates have better approval ratings than in Virginia.

Will California check President Trump’s redistricting efforts?

California’s election is at stake between President Trump and which party will control Congress.

The state’s Proposition 50 voting bill is a direct response by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Democratic Party to the president’s push to redraw congressional maps in several red states.

After Texas gained five more Republican-leaning seats, Newsom pressured California lawmakers to offset the move by picking up more Democratic-leaning seats. That would require voter approval to temporarily bypass the state’s independent redistricting commission, which was established by an earlier ballot initiative in 2010.

Land readjustment disputes are having a huge impact. President Trump has been persuading red state leaders to draw Republican-leaning midterm maps amid concerns that a Democratic-led House of Representatives would block his policy agenda during his final two years in the White House, opening the door to investigations, oversight and even a third impeachment. But California could potentially offset much of President Trump’s efforts in other states.

Will Newsom 2028 gain momentum?

Approval of Prop. 50 would also be a major victory for Newsom, the face of his campaign and one of Trump’s main opponents.

Newsom recently said he is considering running for president in 2028. He is responding to the Democratic Party’s desire for a fighter to take on the president, who many see as a dictator, and is taking a strong stand against Trump.

Blocking the president’s redistricting power play could strengthen his status as one of President Trump’s most high-profile sworn enemies and further boost Newsom’s favorability with Democratic voters, making him a coveted title in a widely publicized Democratic presidential primary that could include former Vice President Kamala Harris, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker.

Will the anti-Trump message work again?

Democrats are once again putting opposition to Trump at the center of their campaign.

That message energized the party’s base and helped Democrats take control of Congress in 2018 and the White House in 2020, but there are questions about whether attacking Trump will be a successful strategy with a broad swath of voters going forward. Trump won the popular vote in 2024, as well as all battleground states, making gains in key voter groups including minorities and young people.

Democrats running for governor in Virginia and New Jersey are emphasizing the cost of living and other concerns that continue to be top of mind for voters, and linking those issues to President Trump. This election may provide insight into whether they can find an approach to countering the president that resonates with them.

Are President Trump’s policies backfiring?

President Trump’s aggressive policies for a second term have his supporters excited, but Democrats hope many voters will see them as going too far.

The biggest test may be in Virginia. There are many federal employees in Virginia who have been affected by the government shutdown and the Department of Government Efficiency’s agency reduction efforts. If the shutdown extends past Election Day, it would be the longest shutdown in U.S. history.

There are signs of hope for Republican gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earl Sears, as Virginia elects Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin in 2021 and President Trump aims to cut the state’s deficit in half from 2020 to 2024. If Democrats continue to do well, it could signal widespread dissatisfaction with the extent of the president’s efforts to change the government.

Shutdown politics are also factoring into the New Jersey gubernatorial race after President Trump suspended funding for the construction of a tunnel between New York and New Jersey.

Where are the Democrats?

The Democratic Party’s ideological divide is on full display in the 2025 race, which features more moderate candidates for governor in New Jersey and Virginia and a far-left front-runner for mayor in New York.

Democratic socialist Zoran Mamdani is leading the New York mayoral race on a promise of aggressive government intervention to cut costs, which President Trump has slammed and threatened to withhold funding from the city if he wins. Meanwhile, Abigail Spanberger of Virginia and Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey are focusing on their government backgrounds, Spanberger’s CIA background and Sherrill’s Navy background, when running for governor.

The party continues to struggle with how to define itself in the Trump era, and the 2025 campaign will come under scrutiny over what kind of messaging and candidate profile will connect with the party’s base and broader electorate. Democrats’ search continues with midterm primaries for House and Senate seats and into the 2028 presidential primary, when the party will look for a new leader who can win.

What other races might be affected?

While a few races get the most attention, there are contests all over the country that can have national impact.

Detroit, Minneapolis, Seattle, Pittsburgh, Atlanta and other major Democratic cities are also voting for mayors at a time when President Trump is battling with local leaders over deploying the National Guard to fight crime. The winner may survive an explosive problem with federal troops on the streets.

Pennsylvania voters will be asked whether they want to keep the state’s three Supreme Court justices, all of whom are Democrats. Pennsylvania is a key swing state, and the composition of the Supreme Court could be important in cases that affect the nation, such as those related to elections. Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro, who is up for re-election in 2026 and is considered a presidential candidate in 2028, is appealing to voters to keep the judge in office in a new ad.

There are also congressional elections in Virginia and New Jersey this year, and the race for attorney general in Virginia is in the spotlight after Democrats became embroiled in texting scandals. Democrats control every lever of state government in New Jersey and are seeking the same in Virginia, with implications for everything from redistricting to potential backlash against the Trump administration.

Do you have an extra hour? Here are 8 financial fixes to save you money.

Thanks to seasonal time changes, it will be extended by an additional hour on November 2nd. Why not use it to rebuild your household finances?

Personal finance can be daunting. Few consumers look forward to reading their credit reports, buying car insurance, or parsing their bank statements. But some of the smartest financial moves can be made in less than an hour.

That’s the spirit of AARP’s report titled “9 Smart Financial Fixes You Can Make in One Hour.” Published in the October/November issue of AARP The Magazine.

We compiled their reports into our own and featured some of our favorite AARP tips, as well as a few others.

Here are eight economical solutions for those who have an hour to spare on a sleepy Sunday morning.

read credit report

Credit reports are inherently scary. But Ted Rothman, senior industry analyst at Bankrate, says it’s a good idea to check regularly.

A 2024 analysis found that nearly half of credit reports may contain errors. These mistakes can negatively impact your credit score.

Reading your credit report is fairly easy these days. The major credit bureaus offer free access to their AnnualCreditReport.com site.

As you read your report, Rothman said, look for accounts that don’t belong to you, incorrect names or addresses, or anything else you don’t recognize. Report the error to your credit bureau or the company where you hold your account.

freeze your credit

Freezing your credit prevents others from opening accounts in your name. This is a powerful defense against identity theft.

“We can keep the bad guys out,” Rothman said. “This is one of the few proactive steps we can take to protect our identity.”

Freezing your credit is relatively quick and free. US PIRG offers a step-by-step guide.

Apply for a zero annual interest credit card

Are you struggling with credit card debt? Ironically, one of the best ways to pay it off is with another credit card.

A zero APR credit card is a powerful tool for paying off debt. Here’s how it works: Transfer debt from another loan with a higher interest rate to the card. There will then be a promotional period of approximately 12 to 21 months before repayment. During that time, no interest will be charged.

“If used properly, interest-free cards can be a huge boost to your debt repayment efforts,” Rothman said.

Apply for a zero APR card in minutes. However, be aware that consumers with low credit scores may be turned away.

Open a high-yield savings account

One of the simplest solutions in personal finance is to move your savings into a high-yield account.

According to a recent study by Vanguard, more than half of savers earn less than 3% annually.

Inertia prevents many consumers from demanding higher rates. However, many online banks offer 3.5% to 4% on high-yield savings, according to a summary by NerdWallet and Bankrate.

“I think the important step is to consider different options and make sure you’re getting the best APY (annual yield),” said Sam Taub, chief investment writer at NerdWallet.

Buy car insurance at a discount

Car insurance premiums are expected to rise 7.5% in 2025, according to MarketWatch Guides.

That’s why you should think twice before renewing your insurance policy, says Daniel Bolz, AARP’s personal finance editor.

To speed things up, collect quotes from multiple insurance companies. Comparison sites like Insurify, Policygenius and The Zebra can do that, Boltz said.

When shopping, “try to compare apples to apples,” Boltz says. Policies differ regarding coverage limits and deductibles.

You can also save money by adjusting your policy. You can increase your deductible. Collision coverage for older cars can be omitted. In previous reports, we covered these and other hacks to save money on car insurance.

Find unclaimed assets

Millions of Americans have unclaimed cash in lost or forgotten accounts, such as old bank accounts, uncashed payroll checks, and even misplaced 401(k) accounts.

Stop by Missing Money, your one-stop clearinghouse for unclaimed property, to find old bank accounts and other lost funds.

For forgotten 401(k) money, check out the National Registry of Unclaimed Retirement Benefits.

Audit your subscription

Many consumers spend money every month on subscriptions they don’t use. Signing up for a streaming service or online news site is easy. It’s just as easy to forget it.

“The average American subscribes to about a dozen media outlets,” Boltz said. “In many cases, you may end up paying for a subscription that you no longer use.”

A recent CNET study found that the average American wastes about $200 a year on unused subscriptions.

Rothman said take a few minutes to review the past 30 days of activity on your account. Find forgotten subscriptions. Follow the instructions to cancel.

Solicit 401(k) contributions

Financial planners say saving more for retirement is a way to reward yourself for the future.

Many Americans are already well on their way to saving for retirement. 401(k) savings rates recently reached an all-time high.

But most of us don’t save as much as we could. The 401(k) contribution limit is $23,500 in 2025, with higher limits for older savers. It’s very easy to increase your contribution by 1-2 percentage points.

“If you can save 10 percent, can you save 11 percent?” Rothman said. “The important thing is that you probably won’t even miss out on money, especially if you do it gradually.”

Meet the companies opposing President Trump’s tariffs at the Supreme Court

Small businesses are at the forefront of opposition to President Trump’s sweeping tariffs. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear their challenge on November 5th.

WASHINGTON — The sine waves on David Levi’s T-shirt illustrate the physics behind the STEM kit he created to teach kids how to build electronic musical instruments from scratch.

But the oscillating line could also represent President Donald Trump’s tariffs jumping up and down, creating higher costs and uncertainty for small business owners like Levi.

Levi, an electrical engineer who founded MicroKits in 2020, had to raise prices, delay production and pause plans for the launch of his new product, Banan-a-Synth, which allows kids to turn a bunch of bananas into a kind of keyboard.

And if President Trump’s tariffs on nearly all imports remain high for some time, including many of the electronic components he uses to make the kits in Charlottesville, Virginia, Levi said he may have to move production overseas.

This may be necessary to allow Levi’s to sell the kits at competitive prices and to increase cost predictability. President Trump is setting rates by circumventing laws that require a more detailed process for imposing tariffs in limited circumstances.

“There’s no way to plan whether interest rates will change again next month,” he told USA TODAY.

Companies aren’t accepting President Trump’s tariffs

The move of American companies offshore is the opposite of what President Trump promised when he imposed tariffs on almost all products imported into the United States.

President Trump said the situation is an emergency because persistent trade deficits are hollowing out the nation’s manufacturing base. He has also used tariffs as a way to encourage China, Mexico and Canada to do more to stem the flow of illegal drugs into the United States.

But companies aren’t buying into his strategy.

Mr. Levi is one of several small business owners challenging President Trump’s tariffs, an issue the Supreme Court is scheduled to take up on Nov. 5.

Other companies alleged to have overstepped Trump’s authority include a Vermont company that makes women’s cycling equipment, two Illinois-based companies that sell educational toys, and a New York City-based wine importer.

“These tariffs threaten the very existence of small businesses like mine, making it difficult to survive, let alone grow,” Victor Owen Schwartz, who founded a wine and spirits import business with his mother nearly 40 years ago, said of his decision to become president. “I was shocked that people with far more power and resources didn’t act more proactively.”

U.S. Chamber of Commerce opposes President Trump’s tariffs

Although Fortune 500 companies have not filed suit like Mr. Schwartz, major business groups have spoken out against the tariffs.

In a filing supporting the challenge, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Consumer Technology Association told the Supreme Court that the question of whether the tariffs are legal is “of paramount importance to the business community.”

Trump’s tariffs would create greater uncertainty for the trade economy than the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the groups wrote, and unless blocked by the courts, would allow the president to assert “unprecedented authority to upend the domestic economy through taxation.”

“A Blessing to America’s Factory Workers”

Drew Greenblatt, CEO of Marlin Steel Wire Products, is a rare businessman defending tariffs.

Mr. Greenblatt said the import fees would level the playing field for companies like his that rely on U.S. steel to make metal baskets and other wire products at factories in Baltimore, Michigan and Indiana.

Greenblatt competes with companies that source steel from China, which subsidizes the steel industry.

But after Canada’s tariffs were imposed, Marlin Steel took $1.3 million in jobs away from Canadian companies using Chinese steel. The order funds six 24-hour shifts, he said.

“Tariffs are a leveling tactic because there are a lot of people who aren’t playing fair,” he says. “This is a blessing to American factory workers.”

Greenblatt said he’s not naive enough to think that all the manufacturing jobs that went overseas because of tariffs will come back. But if only 10 or 20 percent did, “our factories would double or triple in size,” he said.

Economists say tariffs do more harm than good

Michael Strain, an economist at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank that promotes free enterprise, said there’s no question that tariffs are helping some companies.

But overall, U.S. manufacturing is in even worse shape, he said.

Domestic manufacturers import many materials and equipment needed to manufacture finished products, he said. And the high costs from those “intermediate goods” are greater than the benefits of import protection.

That was proven during the Trump administration’s trade wars, Strain said. Fed economists estimated that the U.S. lost five times as many manufacturing jobs as it gained.

A group of economists, including Strain and former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, told the Supreme Court that the decline in domestic manufacturing jobs has nothing to do with the trade deficit.

“In fact, the United States is producing no less today than in the past,” economists said in a filing in support of companies challenging the tariffs. “In return, fewer people are needed to produce the same product and it costs less compared to other products.”

Small businesses may be hit hardest

More than 700 small businesses signed a separate brief telling the court their decision “will determine the survival of many small and micro businesses across the country.”

Kathy Abel, CEO of Wild Lie, an Idaho company that makes outdoor apparel for women made in China, said she used her home to raise money for her business.

“So every time the tariff goes up, you risk losing your home,” she says. “In addition to everything else, the family home is also at risk.”

Jess Knepstad, chief venture officer for a Montana-based company that designs and sells coffee storage and brewing equipment, said she didn’t realize how nerve-wracking the tariffs were until a lower court ruled in May that President Trump didn’t have the authority to impose sweeping tariffs.

“I remember sitting on my balcony at 8 o’clock at night and hearing the verdict and really crying,” he said. “I had no idea you were so stressed out.”

When asked what it was like to challenge for president of the United States from a small workshop in Charlottesville, MicroKits founder Levi said, “It feels like becoming a citizen.”

“As a citizen, you can go to court and say, ‘I don’t know if the government can do this. Let’s figure it out,'” he says.

Whatever the judge decides, Levi wants the judge to rule quickly.

“The key is that we want to have enough certainty to move the business forward,” he said.

President Obama supports Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill in gubernatorial race

President Obama supports Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill in gubernatorial race

Former President Barack Obama spoke in Virginia and New Jersey on November 1st, cheering on fellow Democrats Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill, who are running for governor in those states.

President Obama endorsed Spanberger at Chartway Arena in Norfolk, Virginia, praising her experience in law enforcement and the CIA. The former president endorsed Mr. Sherrill at Essex County College in Newark, New Jersey, saying Mr. Sherrill would be a “thinking governor” who would “unite people, not divide them.”

Mr. Spanberger is challenging Republican Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earl Sears in the gubernatorial race. Current Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, is nearing the end of his first four-year term leading the Commonwealth and is barred from running in this year’s election due to the state’s own law banning consecutive terms for governors.

Regardless of whether Spanberger or Earl Sears wins on Nov. 4, Virginia will elect its first female governor.

“The stakes are now clear,” President Obama said at a rally in Virginia. “You don’t have to speculate about the dangers to our democracy. You don’t have to ask yourself how crude and vile our culture can become. Elections matter, and elections matter to you.”

Who is Abigail Spanberger?

Spanberger, 46, served as the U.S. representative for Virginia’s 7th Congressional District from 2019 to 2025, according to her bio on her campaign website. She also served as an operations officer at the CIA, collecting intelligence on nuclear proliferation and terrorism from 2006 to 2014, and in 2017, then-Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe appointed Spanberger to the Virginia Fair Housing Commission, USA TODAY previously reported.

Spanberger defeated incumbent Republican incumbent and Tea Party member Dave Blatt by just over 6,600 votes, becoming the first Democrat to represent the district since 1970, according to her biography on her campaign website.

Spanberger then won re-election in 2020, narrowly defeating Republican Representative Nick Freetas.

Who is Mikie Sherrill?

Sherrill, a former naval officer and federal prosecutor, represents a Congressional district near Newark, New Jersey, according to her biography on the U.S. House of Representatives website.

The 53-year-old congressman grew up in Reston, Virginia, graduated from high school and earned a bachelor’s degree from the Naval Academy, according to her bio on the House History, Arts and Archives website. She was a helicopter pilot in the Navy and used her experience in the campaign. In a video announcing her gubernatorial campaign, she wore a Navy flight jacket.

After 10 years in the Navy, she earned a law degree from Georgetown University, worked in litigation in New York City and became a federal prosecutor in New Jersey, according to her bio.

Sherrill defeated Jay Weber in 2018 to win the once-solidly Republican Congressional seat. She won a close 2020 re-election election, defeating Republican Rosemary Becchi, 53.3% to 46.7% of the vote.

Polls show voters likely to support Spanberger

According to a Suffolk University poll of likely voters released on October 23, Spanberger received 52% of the votes, followed by Earl Sears with 43%. A further 3% said they were “undecided”.

The poll was conducted between October 19th and 22nd among 500 voters across Virginia. Mr. Spanberger has led the race in every major poll in recent months, including an Emerson College poll conducted in September, where he was trailing by as much as 10 percentage points.

Virginia is being watched as a national beacon when it comes to gubernatorial elections, which take place just one year into a presidential term. Since 1977, with the exception of 2013, the commonwealth has elected governors from the opposite party of the sitting U.S. president, USA TODAY previously reported.

Sherrill has a slight lead in November voter forecast poll

According to an AtlasIntel poll released on November 1, Sherrill had a slight lead over Ciatarelli. Specifically, the poll, which recorded responses from more than 1,600 likely voters in New Jersey from October 25th to October 30th, gave Sherrill 50.2% of the vote and his opponent Jack Ciatarelli 49.3%, with a margin of error of 2%.

Ciatarelli, a former state legislator, lost the 2021 gubernatorial race to current Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy by a narrower-than-expected margin of 51.2% to 48%. Murphy could not run again because New Jersey limits gubernatorial terms to two consecutive terms.

President Donald Trump, who supports Ciatarelli, has not directly participated in the campaign, but he endorsed the Republican candidate during a teleconference on October 24th.

In a recent debate, Ciattarelli gave Trump an “A” grade for his performance so far in his second term, while Sherrill gave the president an “F” grade.

Daylight saving time ends on November 2nd. When do the clocks go “back”?

Daylight saving time ends on November 2nd. When do the clocks go “back”?

For many people in the United States, their circadian rhythms may be thrown out of whack on Sunday morning, November 2nd, as daylight saving time ends.

This year, clocks will be “set back” to standard time at 2am local time on Sunday 2 November, giving affected people an extra hour of sleep. Twice a year, the clocks move back and forth, creating more daylight in the morning or evening for millions of Americans. Daylight saving time ends on the weekend, so affected people can expect more morning sunlight.

Although most of the country will be affected by the time change, some regions and states, such as Hawaii, Arizona and some U.S. territories, will not be affected.

Here’s what you need to know before daylight saving time ends at night.

What is daylight saving time?

Daylight saving time occurs between March and November, when most Americans set their clocks one hour ahead.

People affected by the time difference gain an hour in November, as opposed to losing an hour in the spring, and get more daylight on winter mornings. When “spring comes” in March, you will see more sunlight in the evenings. And in the fall, we “retreat”.

According to the Library of Congress, daylight saving time was first introduced in the United States under the Standard Time Act in 1918 as a measure to save on fuel costs during World War I.

After being abolished at the federal level after World War I, the U.S. government brought back daylight saving time on an emergency basis in the mid-to-late 20th century. The Uniform Time Act of 1966 then established twice-yearly uniform time changes.

According to the Congressional Research Service, Congress amended the Uniform Time Act in 2005 to extend daylight saving time to the period currently in effect, which begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. Again, this move was intended to save energy.

When will daylight saving time end in 2025?

Daylight savings time ends at 2:00 a.m. local time on Sunday, November 2, 2025.

Daylight saving time this year is one day earlier than last year, making it the second earliest possible date for the time change. Daylight savings time falls on the first Saturday of November, so the earliest date is November 1st.

In 2026, daylight saving time begins again on Sunday, March 8th.

Where in the United States does daylight saving time not occur?

Hawaii and Arizona ((except for the Navajo Nation) do not comply. Daylight saving time remains in place and remains standard time all year round.

The same goes for American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

What is President Trump’s position on daylight saving time?

President Donald Trump has previously expressed support for permanently ending daylight saving time, calling it an “inconvenience.”

“Republicans will do everything in their power to abolish daylight saving time,” President Trump said on Truth Social in December 2024. “Daylight saving time is an inconvenience and very costly to our country.”

President Trump changed his tune a bit earlier this year, saying repealing the time changes was a coup d’etat and would be difficult to garner support for.

“This should be the easiest problem, but it’s a 50-50 problem. When something is a 50-50 problem, it’s hard to get excited about it. People will want to light it up later, but some people will want to light it up earlier because they don’t want to take their kids to school in the dark,” Trump said in March, according to Reuters. “Many people prefer one direction and many people prefer another direction. It’s very even.”

He said in April that the House and Senate should seek more sunshine at the end of the day, consistent with his position in 2019, according to Politico.

Remember John Williams’ theme as dinosaurs roam across your screen once again.

“Jurassic World: Rebirth” is one of the top movies on your favorite streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, and Amazon’s Prime Video. Some films, such as Orlando Bloom’s boxing drama, will be released theatrically in Japan for the first time, but don’t rest on the originals, such as the Netflix gambling movie starring Colin Farrell or the cinematic adaptation of “Hedda Gabler” starring Tessa Thompson.

Here are 10 hottest new movies you can stream right now.

“The Little Player’s Ballad”

Lord Doyle (Colin Farrell) gambles night after night in Macau in an attempt to live a luxurious life, but he continues to have bad luck. A casino employee (Fala Chen) provides financial and emotional support, and a private monitor (Tilda Swinton) hired by a European debtor comes on the phone, but in this neon-drenched thriller, Doyle may be too greedy for his own good.

Where to watch: Netflix

“The Cut”

Ten years after missing his chance at stardom, an Irish boxer (Orlando Bloom) could earn a rematch with the reigning champion if he can make weight. He can lose 25 pounds in a week. The drama departs from the usual sports movie clichés and explores mental health and eating disorders with a mix of psychological horror.

Where to watch: paramount+

“The hand that rocks the cradle”

It’s definitely a different, more down-to-earth take on the soapy 1992 original, which featured the deliciously delicious Rebecca De Mornay. This time, Maika Monroe plays a manipulative nanny who gets dragged into a family affair for a reason, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays the wife who is forced to deal with some shady shenanigans.

Where to watch: Hulu

“header”

In this period drama, the main character, played by Tessa Thompson, hosts a party in a new location to increase her influence and help her husband land an important professorship. Her ex-girlfriend (Nina Hoss) is his biggest competition and is also invited to the shindig. Thompson inspires a tortuous, sexy and deadly night that unfolds with dangerous charm.

Where to watch: prime video

“Dynamite House”

If you’re feeling anxious about the state of the world, Kathryn Bigelow’s political thriller isn’t necessarily uplifting. But this is an important watch, in the nerve-wracking film starring Idris Elba, Jared Harris and Rebecca Ferguson, in which government officials imagine a scenario in which they have 18 minutes until a nuclear missile hits the United States.

Where to watch: Netflix

“Jurassic World Rebirth”

The latest installment in the long-running Jurassic series tries something different by injecting a heist movie into the usual dangerous adventure. Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Oscar winner Mahershala Ali encounter a horde of mutated monsters on a mission to obtain dinosaur DNA for a shady businessman.

Where to watch: peacock

‘shell’

This is where “Substance” reruns come in, but at least this body horror satire has some star power. Elisabeth Moss plays a former sitcom star who loses too many jobs to younger actresses and comes under the influence of a powerful health guru (Kate Hudson), who begins to sense something sinister.

Where to watch: paramount+

“Sorry, baby.”

Eva Victor wrote, directed, and stars in this funny and moving drama, playing Agnes, a college literature professor who still struggles with the psychological effects years after being sexually assaulted by her teacher. Now working in her old office, Agnes survives panic attacks and memory triggers with the help of her best friend (Naomi Ackie) and her adorable gray cat.

Where to watch: HBO Max

“Stiller and Mehra: Nothing is Lost.”

Ben Stiller directs this loving documentary about his parents, Jerry Stiller and Ann Meara. Ben chronicles the careers of his father and mother, who, along with his sister Amy, formed as a hit comedy duo on “The Ed Sullivan Show” in the 1960s, while also delving into their personal lives and their conflicts off stage.

Where to watch: Apple TV+

‘weapons’

In this mystery-horror tale from The Barbarian director Zach Creger, a class of elementary school students goes missing one night, leaving their teacher (Julia Garner) an outcast, but there’s something seriously witchy at work. But really, Amy Madigan’s creepy Aunt Gladys alone is worth it.

Ford’s F-150 could be key to correcting trade imbalance with Japan

Ford’s F-150 could be key to correcting trade imbalance with Japan

Japan is reportedly considering purchasing Ford F-150 trucks as part of its foreign policy towards the US
The potential purchase follows President Trump’s call for Japan to open its market to more American cars.

It’s been nearly a decade since Ford Motor Company sold cars in Japan, and for good reason. Automakers had no chance of making a profit in Japan, which preferred its own small domestic cars to big, flashy American cars.

Indeed, after World War II, American auto companies have struggled to gain a significant foothold in Japan, but Japan has not imposed tariffs on imported cars since the late 1970s. According to the New York Times, General Motors’ car sales in Japan last year accounted for less than 1% of the country’s total car sales.

So it’s no surprise that the world is suddenly abuzz with the news that the Japanese government may be considering purchasing a Ford F-150 pickup vehicle. The move is in line with Japan’s pledge earlier this year to open its market to more American cars and is a nod to President Donald Trump, who has long promoted that policy.

Now in his second term, President Trump has imposed hefty tariffs on imported cars and auto parts. Customs duties are taxes paid by importers when goods cross borders. Trump is also pressuring countries to eliminate trade barriers, from taxes on U.S. beef and soybeans to car safety and domestic product requirements in Japan and Indonesia, according to the New York Times.

So the fact that Japan is eyeing America’s most iconic car, the F-150 (built at Ford’s Dearborn Truck Plant in Michigan and Kansas City Assembly Plant in Claycomo, Missouri), is an indication of what’s at stake. Ford’s best-selling car may be an olive branch to economic and diplomatic synchronicity between Japan and the United States.

At the very least, experts say the gesture will please Trump, even if it won’t be enough to reset the trade imbalance between the two countries.

Eric Gordon, a professor at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, told the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network, “This move will have more of a symbolic impact than an economic one. It’s a good press moment for smiling politicians, but F-150 sales won’t move the trade balance or Ford’s bottom line.” “Ford won’t get many sales, but it will get bragging rights if the F-150 is chosen by the Japanese government.”

“Thank you, Mr. President.”

The news first broke globally when a reporter told President Trump that Japan’s new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi was reportedly considering purchasing a fleet of F-150 trucks. President Trump was asked for his reaction as he boarded Air Force One on Saturday, October 25th.

Trump, who is reportedly a fan of the F-150, jumped at the idea, replying, “That’s great. It’s a great truck. She’s got good taste. That’s a hot truck.”

Shortly after, Ford CEO Jim Farley posted a video of Trump’s comments on social media to X (formerly Twitter) with the message, “Thank you Mr. President. We agree.”

Farley went on to write in the post: “We’re proud to build every F-Series pickup truck right here in America, and we’re grateful to our customers who have made the F-Series lineup the best-selling truck in America for 48 years.” and It has been America’s best-selling car since 1981. The F-Series is the second best-selling consumer product in the U.S. behind the Apple iPhone. ”

For evidence that this offer may be serious, look no further than the courtyard of Tokyo’s Akasaka Imperial Palace, where President Trump and Takaichi met for the first time on October 28th.

Mr. Takaichi, who wants to improve economic relations with the United States and build friendship with President Trump, placed a huge Ford F-150 truck in his courtyard alongside American-made Japanese cars. Ford withdrew from Japan in 2016.

Asked by the Detroit Free Press on Oct. 28 whether Ford was still taking orders for pickup trucks from Japan and how he felt about the Dearborn-based automaker’s sudden expansion onto the world stage, Ford spokesman Dave Tovar said only, “We appreciate President Trump’s support for American-made products. We look forward to bringing America’s best-selling trucks to Japanese workplaces and government customers.”

Chevrolet and Japanese gangsters

Takaichi, Japan’s first female prime minister, took office last week and appears to understand the importance of a friendly relationship with Trump.

Last month, Japan’s previous administration agreed to invest $550 billion in the United States, prompting President Trump to reduce the 25% tariffs on all Japanese goods to 15%. But Japan wants favorable investments for Japanese vendors and contractors.

Still, Japanese officials are reportedly considering additional purchases of U.S. soybeans, liquefied natural gas and automobiles, according to the Associated Press. The Japanese government is considering importing Ford trucks for the Ministry of Transportation to use to inspect roads and infrastructure, but there are “concerns that the F-150 could cause congestion on Japan’s narrow roads,” the Associated Press reported.

Japan is an island nation smaller than California, and parking is limited. The city has narrow and winding streets. The steering wheel is also on the right side in all vehicles, contrary to the US.

Many Japanese car buyers prefer small cars, while those who can afford more expensive foreign cars buy mid-sized cars from Europe. The Associated Press reported that besides Japanese cars produced in the United States, the best-selling brand in the United States is the Stellantis Jeep.

The idea of Ford’s giant cowboy pickup rolling through the narrow, crowded streets of Tokyo is mind-boggling to most industry experts, which is why they view such purchases as mere gestures, albeit powerful ones.

President Trump has long complained that American cars are being kept out of Japan, home to the Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Isuzu, Mitsubishi and Subaru brands. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in a September interview with CNBC that Japan would not buy American-branded cars because “Chevrolet” is popular with Japanese gangsters.

Resetting the trade imbalance

Malick Masters, a business professor at Wayne State University, told the Detroit Free Press that the Japanese government’s intention to purchase a nominal number of Ford F-Series trucks “symbolizes Japan’s commitment to advancing U.S.-Japan trade relations toward President Trump’s goal of a golden age of American manufacturing.”

But, he added, “it does not effectively address the massive trade imbalance between Japan and the U.S. in the auto industry.”

Malick cited data showing that Japan imported less than $853 million in U.S.-made vehicles last year, while exporting nearly $50 billion to the United States. He also pointed out that the U.S.-Japan trade agreement imposes a 15% tariff on Japanese imports, which is higher than before Trump but lower than the 25% tariff on other parts of the auto industry.

“The overall economic investment announced as part of this trade framework is $550 billion, but the devil lurks in the detailed implementation,” Masters said. “In this situation, while acknowledging symbolic gestures, it is important to pay close attention to the actual consequences. The key test will be whether trade imbalances are reset, and that will require more than a few small gestures of goodwill.”

keep trump happy

Morningstar auto analyst David Whiston said that even if Japan were to start importing Ford pickup trucks in earnest, “the probability that Japanese consumers would buy them in large quantities is less than 1%.”

“The pickup trucks that Americans drive are too big and flashy for their tastes, and fuel economy will be an issue,” Whiston said. “In my opinion, the real opportunity would be to convince governments and vehicles to use it on construction sites. If Toyota wanted to start doing the same thing with the Tundra, that’s where the challenge would be, and I think they’re already doing it with the Hilux.”

The Hilux is a mid-size pickup truck similar to the Tacoma, and Toyota sells it in other global markets outside of the United States.

“We hope that the Japanese will not support buying more American cars than is necessary to satisfy President Trump,” Whiston said.

President Trump threatens Nigeria government with ‘killing Christians’

“Nigeria opposes and does not encourage religious persecution. Nigeria is a country with constitutional guarantees to protect its citizens of all faiths,” President Bola Ahmed Tinubu said.

President Donald Trump appeared on Truth Social on November 1 and announced that he had directed the Department of the Army to prepare for possible action against the Nigerian government over the “murder of Christians.”

In addition to immediately halting all aid and assistance to Nigeria, Trump’s post said that U.S. forces may “open fire” into Nigeria to “completely wipe out Islamic terrorists who are committing horrific atrocities.”

“If we attack, it will be as fast, vicious, and sweet as terrorist thugs attack our beloved Christians! Warning: Nigeria’s government better move fast!” Trump concluded his post.

Trump’s warning came after he accused Nigeria of religious freedom violations on October 31, saying “Christianity faces an existential threat in Nigeria,” and later designated the country as a “country of special concern” under international religious freedom laws, CNN and the Associated Press reported.

The report said the president’s labeling suggests that his administration has found evidence that Nigeria is engaging in or condoning “systematic and ongoing (and) gross violations of religious freedom.”

Nigeria’s president reacts to Trump’s nomination

After President Trump’s designation and before mentioning military involvement, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu wrote in a post to X on November 1: “Characterizing Nigeria as religiously intolerant does not reflect the reality of our country, nor does it take into account the government’s consistent and sincere efforts to protect the freedom of religion and belief of all Nigerians.”

“Religious freedom and tolerance are and will remain core tenets of our collective identity,” Tinubu’s post continued. “Nigeria opposes and does not encourage religious persecution. Nigeria is a country with constitutional guarantees that protect citizens of all faiths.”

Tinubu said the Nigerian government is “committed to working with the U.S. government and the international community to deepen understanding and cooperation in the protection of communities of all faiths.”

The Tinubu administration did not respond to requests for comment.

Nigeria is firmly established as a democratic nation governed by constitutionally guaranteed freedom of religion.

Since 2023, our administration has remained open and actively engaged with Christian and Muslim leaders alike to address the security challenges that affect us. pic.twitter.com/mRb9IqKMFm

— Bola Ahmed Tinubu (@officialABAT) November 1, 2025

“That’s a gross exaggeration.”

Reacting to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who condemned the “genocide of thousands of Christians” in a social media post, Tinubu’s spokesperson Bayo Onanuga called the depiction a “gross exaggeration of the situation in Nigeria”, adding that “Christians, Muslims, churches and mosques are being attacked randomly.”

“What our country is asking for from the United States is military assistance to combat violent extremism in some of our states, not designation as a country of special concern,” Onanuga said in his Answer X post.

WWE Saturday Night Main Event Live Results: Highlights, Analysis

A new champion was crowned at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

CM Punk became the new World Heavyweight Champion on Saturday, defeating Jey Uso in the main event for the vacant title.

The title became vacant after Seth Rollins vacated the title due to injury.

Jade Cargill also had a successful night, winning her first WWE singles championship. Cargill put together a dominant performance against Tiffany Stratton to win the title.

Now that the title match has been decided, let’s take a look at how everything played out in Saturday night’s main event:

CM Punk defeated Jey Uso twice with the Go to Sleep to win the World Heavyweight Championship.

The crowd remained divided from the start of the match as two fan favorites battled it out in the ring for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship.

CM Punk controlled the match early on, allowing Uso to seize opportunities and gain the upper hand. Uso briefly went up to the top turnbuckle and attempted a second frog splash, but the Chicago native managed to cut him off and hit a suplex off the turnbuckle.

The match ends outside the ring with Uso slamming Punk into the barricade. Punk managed to get back in the ring and countered Uso’s Frog Splash while keeping his knees up.

Punk hits a finishing move on Uso, but it’s not enough to put him away. The two men continued to fight back at each other until Punk was able to eliminate Uso once and for all.

A 16-man tournament will be held to determine John Cena’s final opponent. Cena announced in a video that the tournament field will include talent from RAW, SmackDown, and NXT. He also said that talent not currently affiliated with the company may participate.

John Cena is scheduled to play the final match of his WWE career on December 13th in Washington, D.C.

Cena was with the company for nearly 24 years and set a WWE record by winning 17 world titles. He has won the WWE Championship 14 times and the World Heavyweight Championship three times.

Rusev and Penta move on right after Dominik Mysterio to begin a triple threat match for the Intercontinental Championship.

Rusev and Penta eventually quickly stop working together and go after each other.

During the match, Mysterio resorted to the devious tactic of ringing the bell outside the ring to distract Rusev, who was submitting Penta.

Penta managed to obtain a bell hammer and threatened to hit Mysterio with it, but instead hit Rusev.

After throwing Penta out of the ring, Mysterio hit a frog splash off the top turnbuckle and pinned a knocked out Rusev to win the match.

Jade Cargill dominated Tiffany Stratton throughout the majority of the match to win the WWE Women’s Championship.

The new champion performed some physical maneuvers on the already injured Stratton before pinning him in the center of the ring.

This was Cargill’s first singles title in his WWE career. She had previously won the women’s tag team titles twice.

Stratton cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase to win the title on January 3, entering the match as the third-longest reigning WWE Women’s Champion.

Stratton only lost one match during her reign, a non-title match against Stefanie Vachel at Crown Jewel in October.

Cody Rhodes retained the Undisputed WWE Championship after pinning Drew McIntyre in the ring.

McIntyre countered Rose’s finishing move and was successful in redirecting the champion towards the referee.

McIntyre tried to use the title belt as a weapon, but his plan backfired as he tried to grab it and Rose landed a DDT, causing McIntyre’s head to land on top of the title.

When is WWE Saturday Night’s main event?

Due to Seth Rollins’ injury, a new World Heavyweight Champion will be crowned.

On Raw on Monday, October 20, general manager Adam Pearce confirmed that Rollins will undergo “major surgery” and be sidelined for “a significant amount of time” due to a serious shoulder injury. As a result, Rollins was stripped of the World Heavyweight Championship.

The injury occurred after Rollins’ stablemates Bron Breaker and Bronson Reed suddenly attacked him on October 13.

Pearce said it was because of the surprise attack that Rollins needed surgery, but the injury occurred before that and was reportedly done to keep him off television.

It’s no surprise that fans have been wary of injury news ever since Rollins pulled off the “Run of the Century” after seemingly sustaining a serious foot injury in July, making a spectacular comeback a month later and cashing in on his Money in the Bank contract. But this time the injury appears to be legitimate.

No, Saturday night’s main event will be streamed exclusively on Peacock. WWE and Peacock have announced a new multi-year agreement that will move Saturday Night Main Event from NBC to Peacock.

It’s been almost a full year since WWE brought back its Saturday Night Main Event, which was meant to put on a WrestleMania-worthy match for a national audience.

In the 1980s, as wrestling continued to grow across the United States as WWE strengthened its position as America’s top company, Saturday Night Main Event was a way to showcase WWE’s biggest stars taking to the ring against each other. Usually hosted on NBC, the show was a success from 1985 to 1992, giving millions of people a unique opportunity to watch the high-profile games.

After a hiatus, it was revived in 2006 and hosted several more shows over the next few years. It will be held again in December 2024, and it looks like WWE is looking to make it a regular occurrence. However, the show is currently streaming exclusively on Peacock.

The next Saturday Night Main Event will be held on December 13th. It will be a big event as it will be John Cena’s last show and his retirement match.

World Series Game 7 live updates, Dodgers vs. Blue Jays scores, and how to watch

TORONTO — Game 7 of the World Series is truly made for Hollywood, and not just because of the drama inherent in a winner-take-all game.

Simply put, it’s the time when the screenwriter can lay out the script, but it’s ultimately up to the director to guide the plot to its destination.

And that brings us to Game 7, Dodgers vs. Blue Jays, at Rogers Center. The former is aiming for back-to-back Major League Baseball titles since 2000, and the latter is aiming for Canada’s first Commissioner’s Trophy since 1993.

Is everyone on deck? pretty. All 12 Blue Jays pitchers are available, manager John Schneider said, while all Dodgers pitchers except Game 6 hero Yoshinobu Yamamoto are available.

“We’re hoping everyone will be ready,” Schneider said about three hours before the first pitch.

One thing is for sure: Max Scherzer, who started the most recent Game 7 of the World Series for the 2019 champion Washington Nationals, will be ready from the jump. Or long before that.

“I walked past him last night and it looked like he was going to kill someone,” Schneider said of the 41-year-old man.

His opponent is two-way legend Shohei Ohtani, and this will be the first time in his career that he will be pitching after a three-day rest period. How far Ohtani can fight is probably the most important storyline of Game 7.

One more thing: When will the Blue Jays release rookie Trey Yesavage, who will rest for two days after his heroics in Game 5? That could be sooner, Schneider says. There may be delays.

Indeed, Schneider and Roberts penciled in the scenario. The stars then take the reins and edit the script as necessary.

“I just have to play,” Dodgers left fielder and Game 6 hero Quique Hernandez said while playing in his 103rd playoff game.

Shohei Ohtani hit a single to center field in the top of the first inning against Max Scherzer and advanced to second base on the fielder’s choice. But Scherzer hit Freddie Freeman to center fly and Mookie Betts to ground out to keep Ohtani in scoring position.

TORONTO — For better or for worse, Game 7 of this World Series will not only decide the champion between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays, but for better or for worse, it will also decide the achievements of the participants.

Sadly, today’s ring culture can turn perception into reality. So here are five players whose reps might get polished or a little burnt when the first champagne cork hits the floor.

New episode of ‘South Park’ mocks Trump’s East Wing destruction, Pam Bondi

“South Park” is taking a look at President Donald Trump’s White House renovations in a spooky new episode.

The latest installment of the animated show, which aired on Halloween night, parodied President Trump’s recent demolition of the East Wing of the White House to build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom, and the series also featured Trump having a romantic relationship with and fathering a child with Satan.

Near the beginning of the episode titled “The Woman in the Hat,” President Trump is shown demolishing the east wing of the White House to make room for a ballroom, much to the chagrin of Satan, who thought the renovations were for a nursery school.

In keeping with the episode’s Halloween theme, advisor Stephen Miller quickly warned the president that he “might have unleashed some kind of anger by destroying the East Wing.” President Trump then begins to be possessed by a creepy woman wearing a hat. The woman is first lady Melania Trump, wearing a large hat that covers her face, appearing like a ghost at the White House and standing eerily in the corner of the room.

The episode also cruelly mocks Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is depicted fawning over Trump with excessive praise, in a vulgar running gag in which she is constantly unaware that she has feces on her nose, referring to the idea that she is a “brown-nosed person.”

Bondi and other members of the Trump administration eventually hold a séance in the White House to confront the spirit, but Trump suddenly tries to stop the séance when the spirit possesses Bondi and mentions Jeffrey Epstein’s name.

Since Season 27 began in July, South Park has repeatedly mocked President Trump and members of his administration, making it an unusually politically focused period for the show. Trump’s relationship with Satan is an ongoing storyline spanning numerous episodes, with Vice President J.D. Vance, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr also appearing as recurring characters.

“The Woman in the Hat” has gone surprisingly meta to address critics of the show’s recent political focus. Early on, Stan Marsh makes a speech about how “South Park sucks right now” because of “political” things, and everything he says about South Park reflects a criticism of the series itself. So Stan started an online community dedicated to the idea that South Park had fallen from grace, and it unexpectedly took off. After gaining attention online, Stan uses the move to launch a new cryptocurrency.

Seeming to be directly appealing to fans who want the show to return to storylines that focus less on Trump and the White House, the episode ends with Kyle’s remark that “things are going to get back to normal, and in the meantime, we need to make the most of where we are.”

The White House previously criticized “South Park” when the series launched a parody of Trump in July, with press secretary Taylor Rogers saying in a statement to USA TODAY, “The show has not been relevant in over 20 years and is hanging on to an uninspired idea in a desperate bid for attention.”

The latest installment of “South Park” arrived two days later than scheduled. The show usually airs on Wednesdays, and an episode was originally scheduled to air on October 29th, but Comedy Central announced the day before that it would instead air a “special Halloween night episode” on October 31st.

The reason for the postponement was not disclosed, but it is not the first time this year that “South Park” has been postponed. In September, the fifth episode of season 27 was postponed for a week, hours before it was scheduled to air. At the time, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone said they were unable to complete the episode in time.

“Apparently, if you do everything at the last minute, things can go wrong,” Parker and Stone said. “This is our fault. We didn’t get it done in time. Thank you to Comedy Central and ‘South Park’ fans for your understanding.”

When will the next “South Park” be aired?

The move to Fridays appears to be a one-time change for “South Park,” as the show’s next three episodes are all scheduled to air on Wednesdays. According to Comedy Central, new episodes are scheduled to air on November 12th, November 26th, and December 10th.

Ram’s Hemi V8 is outdated and overpriced. Buyer is not satisfied.

bradley iger
|Motor Trend

The past few years have been a roller coaster for Mopar fans. After the merger of PSA Group and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to form Stellantis in early 2021, the newly formed conglomerate suddenly became the world’s fifth-largest automaker by sales. This seemed to mean that brands like Ram and Dodge would get the resources they needed to update and improve their already successful existing formulas, but Carlos Tavares, Stellantis’ CEO at the time, had a different strategy.

Tavares, the former CEO of PSA Group, turned around the French company’s fortunes with aggressive cost-cutting measures and has taken a similar approach to Stellantis. In parallel with major restructuring efforts on the North American side, Mr. Tavares also Purchase of emissions credits To offset the dirtier power plants in Stellantis’ lineup, it’s sourced from other automakers. This did not bode well for the future of the Hemi V8.

Originally introduced in the Dodge Ram 1500 in 2003, the 5.7-liter Hemi was a breakthrough at the time, as this more sophisticated engine was replaced by the 5.9-liter Magnum V8 (an engine whose design lineage can be traced back to the early 1960s) across the Chrysler Group’s lineup of trucks and SUVs. It also continued to be used under the hood of the automaker’s subsequent LX platform vehicles, including the Dodge Charger, Magnum, Challenger, and Chrysler 300.

The third-generation Hemi V8 was a key element in the muscle car resurgence that emerged over the next two decades, helping popularize big horsepower. However, the 5.7-liter model hasn’t received any major design updates since 2009. From Tavares’ point of view, it’s just heavy lifting, and he saw the newly developed model come as Stellantis sets its sights on a more emissions-friendly future. hurricane engine As a solution to the Hemi problem. This thoroughly modern 3.0-liter inline-six twin-turbo engine offers more than just benefits for owners. thanks to higher output Fuel economy will also improve (slightly), while emissions will be reduced, resulting in a measurable improvement in a company’s bottom line. It’s really a win-win, right? Well, things It didn’t exactly turn out that way..

Reversing questionable decisions

What Mr. Tavares didn’t realize, or simply ignored, is the fact that pickup trucks, once just utilitarian machines built to get the job done, are now as much a point of pride for buyers as sports cars or luxury sedans, and they come with the price tags to prove it. Character is important in this segment, and after decades of building an audience around the roar of a V8, randomly pulling the plug is bound to anger some traditionalists. Add in concerns about the new Hurricane’s long-term durability and its more complex design, and it’s not hard to see why some potential buyers aren’t ready to embrace the future of the Hemiles.

rear Mr. Tavares leaves Stellantis Late last year, the company immediately began work on restoring the ship, with reintroducing the Hemi one of its top priorities. Other than a few tweaks needed to blend better with the truck’s recently refreshed electrical architecture, the 5.7-liter Hemi returns to the Ram 1500 lineup for the 2026 model year, essentially unchanged from the version that was discontinued in 2024.

Even though Ram’s eTorque mild hybrid system has become standard on V8-powered models, the 5.7-liter Hemi still lags behind the standard-output Hurricane engine in both horsepower and torque (395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque vs. 420 hp and 469 lb-ft, respectively). and It costs $1,200 more than the more powerful standard output I-6. So, you may be wondering, why are these low-performing and expensive? Sales of trucks equipped with V8 engines are strong.?

The baritone chirp you hear when you press the engine start/stop button lets you know the price instantly. In a stroke of product planning genius, Ram also decided to make a sport exhaust system standard on all V8-powered 2026 Ram 1500s. The 5.7 may be years away, but it sounds great both at idle and when powering the truck through traffic. There’s an emotional connection here that you don’t get from an inline-six engine. The inline-six engine, while perfectly capable at its job, is virtually silent in almost everything Stellantis has ever used it. Even though the clearly superior Ram 1500 RHO sports an active exhaust setup that allows the high-output Hurricane to sing people’s songs a little louder, something feels a little different.

The V8-powered 2026 Ram 1500 has a new “Protest Symbol” badge on the front fender. This seems unpleasant and disingenuous, but from an optical standpoint it’s completely understandable. V8 engines have received even more attention in recent years due to the drive towards a cleaner future. Their intentions may be good, but politicians and automakers have realized that trying to change Americans’ buying habits through legislation and reducing choice is a great way to alienate a significant portion of the automotive public.

that sensory feedback

There’s an argument to be made that a naturally aspirated pushrod V8 with over 20 years of engineering improvements is safer (and easier to twist) than a brand new straight-six with internal stress from forced induction, but I think this comes down to the value of sensory feedback. There’s a reason why the cars the bad guys drive in movies usually have V8 soundtracks dubbed over. This noise speaks to us on a fundamental level. Trying to decipher what makes it so fascinating is like trying to explain why sunsets are beautiful.

But ironically, while driving this Ram 1500 test truck (Limited trim with 22-inch wheels, massaging front seats and a 19-speaker audio system), I couldn’t help but wonder if the Hurricane might actually be a better fit for this truck. Thanks to the air suspension, ride quality is exceptional for a full-size body-on-frame pickup, and an active noise-cancelling system arch-isolates the cabin from the outside world. Add in a ton of great technology, a panoramic sunroof, and no shortage of high-quality materials, and you’ve got yourself some pretty luxurious transportation. In fact, the only thing that seemed to belie this truck’s nearly $90,000 price tag was the 5.7-liter Hemi V8.

Sure, it sounds great when you bury the hammer, but for a luxury-oriented car that costs this amount of coin, passing on the highway should be easy. To move a 5,200-pound pickup, the 5.7 really needs to work. If Ram’s new approach is aimed at giving people what they want, it may finally be time to introduce a more powerful 6.4-liter naturally aspirated Hemi V8 to the 1500 lineup. If you’re going to go against the grain, you better commit to it thoroughly.

Opinion polls show the New Jersey gubernatorial race to be a close race. President Obama launches Sheryl’s election campaign

The race is seen as a potential precursor to the 2026 midterm congressional elections, which could have a major impact on President Donald Trump’s legislative policies.

A new poll reveals a close race for the New Jersey governor’s mansion, as former President Barack Obama plans to address the Democratic candidate at a Nov. 1 rally.

An Atlas Intel poll released Nov. 1 found Democrat Mikie Sherrill with a slight lead over Republican rival Jack Ciatarelli. The poll, which surveyed more than 1,600 likely voters in New Jersey from October 25 to October 30, gave Sherrill 50.2% of the vote to Ciatarelli’s 49.3%, with a margin of error of 2 percentage points.

Sherrill is a former naval officer and federal prosecutor who currently represents a Congressional district near Newark, New Jersey.

Ciatarelli, a former state legislator, lost the 2021 gubernatorial race to current Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy by a narrower margin of 51.2% to 48%. Murphy was ineligible to run again due to the state’s two-term limit on consecutive terms as governor.

President Obama is scheduled to join Sherrill at a rally in Newark in the evening.

President Donald Trump has supported Ciatarelli, but has not directly participated in his campaign. Nevertheless, he participated in the Oct. 24 teleconference as a Republican candidate.

Mr. Ciattarelli has attracted some of the biggest names in conservative politics to his campaign, including Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. Fox News host Sean Hannity interviewed Ciattarelli on Oct. 30 for a town hall event broadcast on the conservative television network.

The race is seen as a potential precursor to the 2026 midterm congressional elections, and could have a major impact on whether President Trump is able to accomplish further legislative agendas.

In a recent debate, Ciattarelli gave Trump an “A” grade for his performance so far in his second term, while Sherrill gave the president an “F” grade.

Reba McIntyre talks about love at 70 and the proposal from ‘Happy’s Place’ star Rex Lynn

“God saved the best for last,” McIntyre said of his life with Rex Lynn, whom he flirted with on Season 2 of “A Happy’s Place.”

LOS ANGELES — Reba McIntyre’s love life rule #1: Don’t believe everything you see on TV.

Season 2 of NBC’s comedy “Happy’s Place” begins Nov. 7 (ET/8 PT), but McIntyre’s Tavern co-owner Bobby and Rex Lynn’s short-order chef Emmett are still just characters. promising couple.

In fact, McIntyre, 70, and Lynn, 68, are totally in love and engaged. The proof is in the rose gold engagement ring McIntyre wears while sitting at Bobby’s kitchen table on the set of “Happy’s Place” in Universal City, California.

Lin pulled out a ring surrounded by black diamonds and knelt down to present it on Christmas Eve 2024.

“It always shines. It doesn’t matter that you think it’s never been cleaned,” McIntyre told USA TODAY. “It’s so much fun. I feel like a teenager again,” she declares of her life. “It really is a wonderful time.”

Seven months after celebrating his 70th birthday in March, McIntyre is firing on all cylinders. With one win in four seasons, “The Voice” star is a senior coach on season 28 of the NBC reality singing competition, along with Michael Bublé, Niall Horan and Snoop Dogg. McEntire and Lynn are wrapping up Season 2 of “Happy’s Place” a short golf cart ride from “The Voice” on the grounds of the famous Universal Studios.

His engagement to Lynn, which the two announced on the Emmy Awards red carpet in September, is the highlight.

“I’m 70 years old, I’ve been in business for 50 years, and I’m happier now than I’ve ever been in my life,” McIntyre says. “God saved the best for last.”

The inseparable couple commute together from their home in Los Angeles and rehearse “Happy’s Place” together late into the night.

“We’re great rehearsal partners. We go to bed with the script and wake up with the script,” McIntyre says. “But many mornings we sit outside and watch the hummingbirds while drinking coffee.”

The two have a daily morning ritual called “coffee camp” that is essential no matter where they are, whether in person or on a Zoom call.

“In the morning, as I’m shuffling down the hallway to go to coffee camp, Rex says, ‘You’re the most beautiful woman in the world,'” McIntyre says. “And I say, ‘Okay, put your glasses back on.'”

The two first met as friendly co-stars while filming the 1991 TV movie The Gambler Returns, and reunited 30 years later when McIntyre booked a guest appearance on Young Sheldon, in which Lynn played Principal Petersen. After a reunion dinner, they’ve hit it off ever since.

When “Happy’s Place” began, Bobby and Emmett weren’t necessarily supposed to strike up a romance at the TV bar with co-owner Isabella (Belissa Escoveda) and bartender Gabby (“Reba” star Melissa Peterman).

“But that’s what the fans expect,” McIntyre said. “‘This is real, let’s see it on the show.'”

Life is dizzyingly ahead of TV romance. Still, McIntyre promises “hot moments” and not just from Emmett’s grill. “But we’re going to tease you with a little romance,” she says. “The hijinks will follow.”

Rex Lin’s proposal: “I want to cross the finish line with you.”

December’s proposal already contained enough sexy adventures for future seasons. Lin secretly picked out the ring at a jewelry store in Austin and carried it in her pocket throughout an African safari in June 2024.

“But that opportunity never presented itself,” McIntyre said. “He took (the ring) home.”

On December 23rd, Lynn searched for the perfect spot near her favorite stream on a 130-acre ranch 60 miles outside of Nashville. During a walk on Christmas Eve, he surprised McIntyre by taking a knee.

“I said, ‘What are you doing?’ And he said, ‘Will you marry me?’ I want to cross the finish line with you,” McIntyre said, cradling Lin’s head but not immediately answering. “He said, ‘I didn’t say anything!’” And I finally said, “Right!” Yes! He thought he would have to jump into the stream. ”

Lynn later admitted that the silence after McIntyre’s proposal was “about 21 seconds. And even the five seconds of silence felt like an hour.”

“I thought if she didn’t say yes, I was going to disappear into that stream,” Lynn says. “But then she said ‘yes’ three times.”

The couple kept quiet about the celebration due to the Los Angeles fires that broke out in January. The couple hasn’t made any concrete plans for their wedding, partly because McIntyre’s calendar is packed.

“She has 13 days of free time in 2026,” Lin said. “Right now we’re just enjoying our engagement. Once we have a date, we’ll pick a date.”

McIntyre, who divorced her second husband Narvel Blackstock in 2015, says she is “happy and content”. And real-life romances and TV romances are touching.

“I’m hearing from people I haven’t heard from in years saying, ‘Oh my gosh, you gave me hope. Maybe there’s someone out there who can help me,'” McIntyre says. “Everyone wants to see people fall in love and be happy.”

Reba McIntyre talks about AI fake pregnancy

Reba McIntyre reacts to fake AI pregnancy photo with Dolly Parton, calling it ridiculous.

McIntyre says about AI images: “I am the source of the information”

Rule No. 2 about McIntyre’s love life: Don’t believe the AI viral image with ultrasound showing Dolly Parton’s pregnancy that surfaced with Dolly Parton’s disturbing deathbed fake. McIntyre criticized AI nonsense in a Facebook video addressed to Parton on October 8, saying, “You’re too young and I’m too old for this.”

“It’s like social media these days. Wow, it’s so confusing,” McIntyre said. “I’m in business, so I need experts to tell me, ‘No, that’s AI, that’s not true.’ You really need to source the information.”

Colorado food banks respond to SNAP benefit disruption with closures

Officials at the Food Bank of the Rockies, which organizes monthly distributions on site, said many of their regular customers were newcomers.

AURORA, Colo. – Doug Wheeler sat on the chain of his beat-up Volkswagen sedan, smoking a King cigarette and fuming about not receiving his SNAP benefits and about President Donald Trump.

Wheeler, a truck driver who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 15 years ago and forced to retire, makes ends meet on disability and SNAP payments. And since the federal government shutdown halted SNAP testing for the first time in history, Wheeler has been worried about eating and paying her bills.

On a cold Saturday morning, Wheeler and more than 100 other people waited in a church parking lot outside Denver as volunteers handed out free food from the Rocky Mountain Food Bank.

Recipients began lining up in idling vehicles just after sunrise in sub-zero temperatures, burning gasoline to keep warm as they waited.

The SNAP funding crisis is causing a wave of anxiety for the 42 million Americans who rely on the benefit to buy groceries every month, and food banks are bracing for high demand just weeks before Thanksgiving.

A federal judge on October 31st ordered the federal government to begin releasing emergency reserve funds. The judgment is likely to be appealed.

“We have to step back quite a bit,” Wheeler said. “They haven’t told us anything. We thought they would probably tell us after yesterday, but they haven’t said anything yet.”

The Trump administration previously said emergency reserves could not be used to pay any portion of benefits during the second-longest government shutdown in history. In a social media post on Oct. 31, President Trump said people upset by the loss of benefits should complain to Democratic lawmakers, but said he was “honored” to release emergency funds as ordered.

For food recipients like Wheeler, the conflict in Washington, D.C., feels both distant and all-too-personal. Wheeler said he was particularly upset that President Trump suggested that it was primarily Democrats who received SNAP benefits as a justification for deferring funding. Wheeler said he voted for Trump in 2016 and considers himself a Republican.

“While we’re all sitting around wondering where we’re going to get food, Trump is back in Japan,” Wheeler said, referring to the president’s recent trip to Asia. “They don’t seem to be thinking about anything, legal or otherwise. It’s just like, ‘Oh, no more food benefits.'”

Officials at the Food Bank of the Rockies, which organizes monthly distributions on site, said many of their regular customers were newcomers. While people waited in their cars, volunteers filled boxes with pasta, milk, fresh fruit and frozen shrimp. They also decided to rip open 50-pound bags of potatoes and give out 15 spuds to each household to ensure as many people as possible had something to eat.

“There’s so much uncertainty, and what we’re really hearing from our neighbors is a mixture of gratitude and a lot of concern at the same time,” said Joanna Wise, a spokeswoman for the food bank. “More and more people are asking for help. The rug is being pulled out from under them.”

Among those who called for help was Tomiesinia Broadnax, 72, who was waiting with a neighbor to receive a cardboard box of food. Broadnax said her SNAP account remains empty despite the judges’ order to stop funding.

“I need food,” she said simply.

Social service experts have warned that the suspension of SNAP benefits could have a trickle-down effect on households that are struggling even more to pay bills and buy food.

“What we are witnessing is a tearing apart of the social safety net,” United Way Worldwide CEO Angela Williams said in a statement to USA TODAY. “The uncertainty, stress, and disruption exacerbate existing inequalities, and for low-income families, even a brief suspension of SNAP can mean loss of home, job loss, and a health crisis that can set them back for months.”

Before the distribution began, site director Thomas Booth, an elder with Restoration Christian Fellowship, led the assembled volunteers in prayer.

Booth, wearing a Desert Storm Veteran hat on his head, asked God to give wisdom to politicians and send food to the hungry, then sent his team through a carefully choreographed dance that involved rolling past tables of food and loading boxes into cars.

Volunteer Robert Grade, holding an orange flag and directing traffic, greeted each customer with a big smile, handshake and fist bump.

“Hello, hello, friends! It’s a good day today. There’s plenty of food!” he said as the car started moving. “I’m very happy to meet you, I’m very happy to meet you.”

Glade, a tower crane operator who usually works alone 200 feet above the ground, said volunteering at his church’s food bank is a way to give back. “We get to see great things happening, and we want people to feel good about being here. Everyone needs to eat.”

Wheeler, a disabled truck driver, said he was worried about his neighbor as he sat in his car after putting out another cigarette. He knows how tough things are for everyone and just wants to see the federal government start working again.

“It hurts my neck to come and sit here in the cold early in the morning,” he said. “It’s like getting a letter that says, ‘You’re alone,’ and you have to look around for places that are giving out food.”

Zoran Manday speaks today about young voters in New York mayoral race

Early voting appears to be biased toward older voters, and Andrew Cuomo’s lead in New York’s mayoral race has increased, making young turnout key for Mamdani.

NEW YORK – Zoran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for New York mayor, knows young people are what helped him rise to the top in the polls, he told USA TODAY on Oct. 31.

“Young voters are in many ways the heart of this campaign and where we are right now,” Mamdani said by phone. “They’re not just voters who came out to vote for us at unprecedented levels. They’re also the very New Yorkers who have been knocking on our doors across the five boroughs.”

With early voting numbers looking lopsided heading into the Nov. 4 election, Mr. Mamdani, a 34-year-old Democratic Socialist state lawmaker, needs Gen Z and Millennial New Yorkers to maintain his lead over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who narrowed his lead by double digits in the final stages of the campaign.

Mr. Mamdani’s June primary victory over the 67-year-old Mr. Cuomo was an upset, reflecting the strong enthusiasm of young people who shared Mr. Mamdani’s focus on affordability policies in the nation’s largest city. Older voters lean more toward Mr. Cuomo, and older voters are more likely to vote in elections held outside of this year.

But Mamdani is turning to his younger supporters, who have brought their parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles into the campaign.

“I heard this over and over again from older New Yorkers,” he says. “It was young family members who came to them and were the first to say why it’s time for change. And I’m really grateful to these young voters, because they showed us that while they’ve been talked to in a very condescending way in our politics, they can actually be at the center of a new kind of politics that puts workers at the centre.”

Mamdani urged voters not to become complacent, but said he was excited to see an increase in overall turnout.

“We are always a stronger democracy when more people participate,” Mamdani said. “What we tried to show is that the strength of a democracy can also be measured by its ability to actually meet the material needs of working people.”

Mr. Cuomo’s campaign did not respond to an email requesting comment about his outreach to young voters.

appeal to young Muslim voters

Mamdani’s comments about young voters particularly resonate in immigrant enclaves, especially fast-growing Muslim and South Asian communities. According to a recent analysis by the City Audit Bureau, the number of immigrants, mainly young people, is increasing due to the rising cost of living.

“He went through everything we go through,” Yusra Irfan, 36, an adult day care worker, said of Mamdani outside Friday’s Juma mass prayer attended by candidates at the Muslim American Society Youth Center in Brooklyn. “He went through the same hardships that we go through.”

Irfan and others handed out campaign materials in English and Arabic to the crowds of people leaving the mosque. The campaign’s efforts to engage Muslim New Yorkers resulted in campaigns targeting 210 of the city’s approximately 300 mosques, a spokesperson said.

Irrfan started volunteering for the campaign after seeing Mamdani on TikTok. It was his first time voting in a mayoral election since he immigrated from India 10 years ago, and he was excited to be the first Muslim mayor and the first Indian mayor. But as a single mother, Irfan praised Mamdani’s policies to address costs in the city, especially her promise of universal child care.

Asad Dandia, a New York urban historian and member of Mamdani’s unofficial “Kitchen Cabinet,” said many young voters have only known President Donald Trump, who has frequently attacked Muslims and non-white immigrant communities, including with his ban on Muslims. Dandia, 32, said that’s especially true for the city’s South Asian community.

But Zoran’s campaign, he said, “allows them to be a part of something that speaks to them, someone who represents them. Someone who could be their cousin or their big brother.”

Mamdani’s camp had an early campaign in Muslim and South Asian enclaves, but also on left-leaning university campuses in the city.

Young voters support Mamdani near Columbia University

“Zoran is a symbol of hope and a symbol of what this country can become and how democracy can actually be restored,” said Marisol Bonifaz, a 19-year-old Barnard College freshman, at a polling place at Columbia University’s satellite campus in Manhattan’s Harlem neighborhood on the morning of Nov. 1, when she voted in her first municipal election.

Bonifaz, from Massachusetts, volunteered to register about 50 other students on Columbia University’s campus to vote. She says students are excited, but they need a plan to vote.

“He’s the person I want to bring about change in politics,” said Gabriela Gavazzi, 25, a recent graduate of the doctoral program in physical therapy at Columbia University. She changed her registration from her home state of Pennsylvania to vote for Mamdani in the general election. “Our politics are really in a quagmire right now.”

One man, who declined to give his name but identified himself as 75, said he voted for Mr. Cuomo because he thought Mr. Mamdani was anti-Semitic and would destroy the city. The man said Cuomo saved the city during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Jody Kobler, 57, a Jewish Upper West Side resident, said she voted for Mamdani to make it a better city “for everyone, for everyone.”

Her two children, both young Manhattan residents, are also voting for Mamdani because they think Manhattan gives them the best chance of staying in their city, she said, adding that the city is “for all young people.”

Mamdani said the focus on affordability is especially important for young voters.

“Young people are often denied the legitimacy that they are afforded in other constituencies,” Mamdani told USA TODAY. “And it’s made to look as if their struggles are indicative of who they are, whereas our cities, our state, our country are failing them and we are making life increasingly difficult for these young people.”

He said it was becoming increasingly difficult for young people to pursue their dreams and ambitions. “What they want is what every New Yorker wants. A city where New Yorkers can do more than just struggle to call home. A city where they can actually pursue what brought them here in the first place,” he added.

Kobler hasn’t remembered young people being this interested in politics in a while. The last candidate to motivate young people is Barack Obama, she said.

As for whether he dresses up for Halloween, Mamdani said he dresses like “just a tired politician.”

Who is the US killing in boat attacks? Hegseth won’t say.

WASHINGTON – The Trump administration’s deadly attack on a boat off the coast of South America and release of multiple survivors to their home countries is raising questions about who the United States killed and what evidence the vessel was transporting drugs.

Trump administration officials said the airstrike was part of a larger counter-drug operation. Pentagon Secretary Pete Hegseth and other officials said that U.S. intelligence has determined that the boat was carrying drugs and that its passengers were parties to illegal drug trafficking into the United States.

But to date, the Department of Defense has not provided any evidence. Amid concerns from some lawmakers that these attacks were illegal, Trump administration officials have chosen to withhold details and are clutching a memo justifying military action.

Some say the answers to what officials know and how they know it lie there, but that information is still inaccessible to all but Republican Senate insiders.

“The big misconception here is that, in some ways, we don’t know exactly who we’re attacking and why,” Hegseth told reporters on Oct. 31.

“We know how to map networks and hunt our nation’s enemies, and that’s what’s happening in this case.”

After the administration briefed House members on Oct. 30 about the strike, Rep. Sarah Jacobs, a Democrat from California, said there was not enough information to know whether the deadly strike was justified. She told USA TODAY that Trump officials “promised” to send a memo to her and other lawmakers but did not follow up.

The military needed to demonstrate “links to a designated terrorist organization or associated organization” before the attack, but “that could be interpreted very broadly”.

The ship was badly damaged after the attack, and there was no evidence that it was carrying drugs.

Return of survivors raises concerns

At least 61 people have been killed in the two months since the offshore attacks began. Three people survived, two of whom returned to their home countries of Colombia and Ecuador.

Ecuadorian authorities have released a man who survived U.S. detention and detention, saying authorities did not have enough evidence to convict him.

Returned survivors raised new legal issues. If the US had enough evidence to attack their boat, why wasn’t that evidence enough to try them in US courts?

In the two months since the first U.S. airstrike killed 11 people on a ship in the Caribbean, lawmakers in Washington have asked the Trump administration for more information about the strike and a legal justification for it.

Many of the ships targeted were from Venezuela, and the attack appears to be linked to a campaign led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio to oust the country’s leftist President Nicolas Maduro from power. President Donald Trump has repeatedly said the next attack could be on the ground, but denied an October 31 Wall Street Journal report that the United States was compiling a list of actionable targets in Venezuela.

The legal memo justifying the military strike was reportedly written by the Justice Department, not the Pentagon. Jack Landman Goldsmith, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, wrote in an explanatory article that taking that approach is what the CIA calls a “golden shield” internally. The document protects officials working under it from future criminal prosecution, he wrote.

Jacobs and other Congressional Democrats said they were informed at the last minute that the military lawyer they had scheduled to meet with on Oct. 30 would not show up.

“The Pentagon has removed the lawyers who legally justify these strikes from the conference without notice,” Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton, representing Massachusetts, told X.

A day earlier, the administration shared a legal memo with some Republican senators, an unprecedented move that angered Democrats. Both sides of the Hill political aisle have historically been described as a unified group.

Democratic Sen. Mark Warner told reporters at the Capitol on Oct. 30 that he had “no idea” why the legal basis would be classified. “If you have a valid legal opinion, wouldn’t you want to share it with all members?”

Also, the airstrikes did not target the central nodes of networks bringing drugs into the United States. Most illicit shipments of fentanyl, one of the deadliest causes of drug overdoses in the United States, enter the United States by land from Mexico.

Hurricane Melissa killed more than 50 people. ‘Apocalyptic’ Caribbean damage

On November 1, communities across the Caribbean continued to pick up the debris left behind by the devastating and deadly former Hurricane Melissa, which hit Jamaica in the strongest hurricane landfall in Atlantic history, causing devastating flooding on several islands in the region.

Melissa made landfall in Jamaica on October 28 as a Category 5 hurricane with winds of 185 mph. The hurricane was the most powerful to ever hit the island nation, causing damage from heavy rain and winds that left hundreds of thousands without power, destroyed homes and left fields littered with debris. It then made landfall in Cuba as a Category 3 storm, passing through the Bahamas and near Bermuda.

More than 50 deaths were reported from the storm in Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic, including those in areas not directly affected by Melissa but experiencing severe flooding from the slow-moving storm. That number could rise further as authorities reach out to cut-off areas and confirm reports of deaths.

“Every life lost is a great tragedy,” Dana Morris-Dixon, Jamaica’s Minister of Education, Skills, Youth and Information, said at a press conference on October 31. “We have never experienced a Category 5 hurricane in our country. The devastation in the West is unimaginable.”

The storm, which became a tropical storm on October 31, passed the coast of Canada’s Newfoundland island in the early morning hours of November 1, according to the Canada Weather Bureau.

Death toll from Hurricane Melissa rises to over 50

As of the morning of November 1, more than 50 deaths have been blamed on Melissa.

Jamaica’s Minister Dixon said on October 31 that 19 deaths had been confirmed in Jamaica, but that number was expected to rise as authorities confirmed additional death reports.

Although Haiti was not directly affected by Melissa, at least 31 people were killed as it caused massive flooding and days of heavy rain. At least 23 of those deaths, including 10 children, were caused by flooding in the coastal town of Petit Goave, where a river burst its banks.

At least two deaths were reported in the Dominican Republic, one of whom died before the storm made landfall, the Pan American Health Organization said.

Jamaica investigates Melissa tragedy: ‘apocalyptic’

On October 31, Jamaican authorities announced that they were using helicopters to reach areas where roads were impassable and delivering food and other aid to those affected by Melissa, as well as working to recover the bodies of additional people who were reported dead. Dixon said the state Department of Works has made some progress in clearing the thoroughfare.

Approximately 462,000 people remain without power.

Desmond McKenzie, the country’s Minister for Local Government and Regional Development, said communications were still cut off in five parishes as of October 31. “These are not very good numbers,” he said in Falmouth, the capital of the diocese of Trelawny on the northwest coast.

“City Hall was destroyed. The clinic was destroyed. The Road Works Department was destroyed. The courthouse was destroyed,” McKenzie said.

“The situation there is nothing short of apocalyptic,” World Food Program Caribbean Director Brian Bogart told a news conference in Jamaica’s Black River, near where Melissa landed. “It was like a bomb went off in that community and people are still in shock.”

Hospital destroyed in Jamaica, health care workers traumatized

Jamaican health officials said the country’s health system was severely affected by the storm. Jamaica’s Health Minister Christopher Tufton said five major hospitals were badly damaged, including St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, whose roof collapsed, forcing many services to be suspended or relocated.

Tufton said health care workers who worked during the hurricane’s passage have been isolated and, in some cases, cut off from their home communities.

“Healthcare workers are also victims of this tragedy,” he said. “Some of them had to staff guard posts without knowing what was happening to their homes and loved ones.”

Tufton said hospitals that weren’t as severely affected are seeing an influx of patients from areas where hospitals are no longer operational or severely restricted. While Jamaicans try to recover from the devastation and repair the damage, others are arriving at the emergency room with injuries from falling off roofs or ladders, or getting nails stuck in their feet.

“They’re really trying to pick up debris and that’s when accidents happen,” he said.

Mr Tufton also appealed for much-needed blood donations and warned that authorities are concerned about illnesses related to food contamination as people live without electricity or refrigeration. There are also concerns about water pollution and an increase in mosquitoes and rodents due to stagnant water.
