But instead of relying on the past, Sean Dyche’s Reds wrote a new, emphatic chapter, delivering a dominant 3-0 victory that underscores the thrilling trajectory of this revitalized side. ​This was a victory built on control, intensity, and a ruthless clinical edge.

national guard shot in dc

Image
On November 26, 2025, around 2:15 PM local time, two members of the U.S. National Guard were shot near Farragut Square / 17th & I Street NW, very close to the White House. Authorities initially arrested a suspect, later identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national. The attack was described as an ambush-style shooting, suggesting it was planned and targeted. Both Guardsmen were seriously injured, and their condition was reported as critical. Police and federal agencies (FBI, Department of Homeland Security, Secret Service) immediately responded. Officials described the shooting as a targeted attack rather than a random act of violence. President Donald J. Trump referred to the incident as a “terror attack”. The White House and surrounding areas were temporarily locked down, causing disruptions in traffic and public transit. The event highlighted a stark reality: even high-level security deployments cannot guarantee absolute safety, especially when facing a determin...

Season's first snow could gunk up holiday travel

Image
The first snowfall of the season is usually magical — a reminder that winter has officially arrived. But for millions of people preparing for holiday travel, this first snow can also bring major challenges. From slippery roads to delayed flights, winter weather has the power to slow down even the best-laid travel plans. Road Conditions May Turn Risky Snowfall is often accompanied by icy roads, reduced visibility, and traffic congestion. Even a few inches of snow can make highways slippery, leading to slower driving speeds and potential accidents. Travelers planning road trips may need to leave earlier than usual and stay updated on weather alerts.

Runways need clearing, de-icing takes extra time, and airlines may delay or cancel flights for safety reasons. Travelers flying out this week should check their flight status regularly and be prepared for longer waiting times. Crow...

Despite the injury, early updates from coaches suggest that the outlook may be more optimistic than expected. Mayfield injured his shoulder during a second-quarter scramble.

Head coach Todd Bowles reported that: There appears to be no major structural damage. Mayfield will undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the severity. Backup QB Teddy Bridgewater is preparing to step in if needed. QB Connor Bazelak may be elevated from the practice squad depending on the MRI results.

How California’s Crackdown on PBMs Could Raise, Not Lower, Drug Costs

Image
For years, Prescription Benefit Managers (PBMs) have been at the center of the debate on rising drug prices in the United States. These middlemen—who negotiate drug prices, manage pharmacy networks, and determine which medicines health plans will cover—are often blamed for lack of transparency and unfair pricing practices. In response to public pressure, California has begun tightening regulations on PBMs, aiming to make drug pricing more transparent and fair. Although well-intentioned, experts warn that these crackdowns could unintentionally increase—not decrease—drug costs for consumers. California’s efforts to rein in PBMs stem from a genuine desire to protect consumers from skyrocketing drug costs. However, without addressing the entire pharmaceutical pricing ecosystem, these reforms could unintentionally: Reduce PBM negotiating power Raise insurance premiums Increase pharmacy costs Limit patient access And ultimately push drug prices higher, not lower A balanced approach—...

Amnesty International Condemns Hasina’s Death Sentence, Calls for Abolition of Capital Punishment

Image
  Amnesty International has expressed serious concern over the death sentence verdict given to Hasina, emphasizing that the use of capital punishment is a violation of fundamental human rights . The organization reiterated its long-standing position that the death penalty should be abolished in all cases , regardless of the crime, circumstances, or identity of the accused. According to Amnesty International , sentencing someone to death reflects a justice system that relies on punishment rather than rehabilitation. The group noted that no judicial process can guarantee absolute fairness , and any possibility of wrongful execution makes the death penalty unacceptable. Amnesty also urged authorities to review the case thoroughly , ensure full transparency in legal procedures, and guarantee that the accused receives fair trial standards in line with international human rights law. In its statement, Amnesty International called on the government to commute the death sentence and ...

Economic & Market Signals

Image
  The U.S. economy right now looks resilient on the surface (growth still positive, unemployment relatively low) but shows warning signs beneath the surface. The stress among lower-income households, the slowdown in hiring and job mobility, and sticky cost pressures in specific areas mean that the economy may be more fragile than the headline numbers suggest. In short: it’s not obviously collapsing, but it is less robust than one might hope.

Image

"House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide," Trump wrote in a  post on Truth Social .

Flights Return to Normal as Flight Restrictions Are Lifted

Image
 After a lengthy government shutdown, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ended its emergency order reducing flight operations at 40 major U.S. airports. Why it matters: During the shutdown, staffing shortfalls among air traffic controllers prompted the FAA to impose flight-cut requirements to maintain safety.  With the shutdown resolved and absences dropping, the FAA judged the risk sufficiently lowered to remove restrictions.  For travellers and airlines, this means a smoother near-term schedule ahead of the holiday travel surge. The move signals broader restoration of normalcy in federal operations after the disruption.
