In reversal, Trump says House Republicans should vote to release Epstein files

President Donald Trump said House Republicans should vote to release the files in the Jeffrey Epstein case, a startling reversal after previously fighting the proposal as a growing number of those in his own party supported it.

We have nothing to hide, and its time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, Trump wrote on social media late Sunday after landing at Joint Base Andrews following a weekend in Florida.

Trump's statement followed a fierce fight within the GOP over the files, including an increasingly nasty split with Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who had long been one of his fiercest supporters.

The presidents shift is an implicit acknowledgement that supporters of the measure have enough votes to pass it in the House, although it has an unclear future in the Senate.

It is a rare example of Trump backtracking because of opposition within the GOP. In his return to office and in his second term as president, Trump has largely consolidated power in the Republican Party.

I DONT CARE! Trump wrote in his social media post. All I do care about is that Republicans get BACK ON POINT.

Lawmakers who support the bill have been predicting a big win in the House this week with a deluge of Republicans voting for it, bucking the GOP leadership and the president.

In his opposition to the proposal, Trump even reached out to two of the Republican lawmakers who signed it. One, Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert, met last week with administration officials in the White House Situation Room to discuss it.

The bill would force the Justice Department to release all files and communications related to Epstein, as well as any information about the investigation into his death in federal prison. Information about Epsteins victims or ongoing federal investigations would be allowed to be redacted.

There could be 100 or more votes from Republicans, said Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., among the lawmakers discussing the legislation on Sunday news show appearances. I'm hoping to get a veto-proof majority on this legislation when it comes up for a vote.

Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., introduced a discharge petition in July to force a vote on their bill. That is a rarely successful tool that allows a majority of members to bypass House leadership and force a floor vote.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., had panned the discharge petition effort and sent members home early for their August recess when the GOP's legislative agenda was upended in the clamoring for an Epstein vote. Democrats also contend the seating of Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., was stalled to delay her becoming the 218th member to sign the petition and gain the threshold needed to force a vote. She became the 218th signature moments after taking the oath of office last week.

Massie said Johnson, Trump and others who have been critical of his efforts would be taking a big loss this week.

I'm not tired of winning yet, but we are winning, Massie said.

The view from GOP leadership

Johnson seems to expect the House will decisively back the Epstein bill.

Well just get this done and move it on. Theres nothing to hide, adding that the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has been releasing far more information than the discharge petition, their little gambit.

The vote comes at a time when new documents are raising fresh questions about Epstein and his associates, including a 2019 email that Epstein wrote to a journalist that said Trump knew about the girls. The White House has accused Democrats of selectively leaking the emails to smear the Republican president.

Johnson said Trump has nothing to hide from this.

Theyre doing this to go after President Trump on this theory that he has something to do with it. He does not, Johnson said.

Trump's association with Epstein is well-established and the president's name was included in records that his own Justice Department released in February as part of an effort to satisfy public interest in information from the sex-trafficking investigation.

Trump has never been accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein and the mere inclusion of someones name in files from the investigation does not imply otherwise. Epstein, who killed himself in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial, also had many prominent acquaintances in political and celebrity circles besides Trump.

Khanna voiced more modest expectations on the vote count than Massie. Still, Khanna said he was hoping for 40 or more Republicans to join the effort.

I don't even know how involved Trump was, Khanna said. There are a lot of other people involved who have to be held accountable.

Khanna also asked Trump to meet with those who were abused. Some will be at the Capitol on Tuesday for a news conference, he said.

Massie said Republican lawmakers who fear losing Trump's endorsement because of how they vote will have a mark on their record, if they vote no, that could hurt their political prospects in the long term.

The record of this vote will last longer than Donald Trump's presidency," Massie said.

A MAGA split

On the Republican side, three Republicans joined with Massie in signing the discharge petition: Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Nancy Mace of South Carolina and Boebert.

Trump publicly called it quits with Greene last week and said he would endorse a challenger against her in 2026 if the right person runs.

Greene attributed the fallout with Trump as unfortunately, it has all come down to the Epstein files. She said the country deserves transparency on the issue and that Trump's criticism of her is confusing because the women she has talked to say he did nothing wrong.

"I have no idea whats in the files. I cant even guess. But that is the questions everyone is asking, is, why fight this so hard? Greene said.

Trumps feud with Greene escalated over the weekend, with Trump sending out one last social media post about her while still sitting in his helicopter on the White House lawn when he arrived home late Sunday, writing The fact is, nobody cares about this Traitor to our Country!

Even if the bill passes the House, there is no guarantee that Senate Republicans will go along. Massie said he just hopes Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., will do the right thing.

The pressure is going to be there if we get a big vote in the House," Massie said, who thinks we could have a deluge of Republicans.

Massie appeared on ABC's This Week, Johnson was on Fox News Sunday, Khanna spoke on NBC's Meet the Press and Greene was interviewed on CNN's State of the Union.

FAA lifts flight restrictions at Detroit Metro Airport ahead of Thanksgiving travel

Travelers at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport should see things return to normal starting at 6 a.m. Monday, now that the FAA is lifting all flight restrictions put in place during the record 43-day federal government shutdown.

Detroit was among 40 major airports nationwide forced to cut flights by as much as 6 percent reductions triggered by air traffic controllers working without pay and a system stretched thin by staffing shortages. The FAA eventually eased the cuts to 3 percent as conditions improved, but todays move officially removes all limits.

The flight caps had fueled thousands of delays and cancellations across the country. On the worst day November 9 airlines canceled more than 2,900 flights nationwide.

Major hubs like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Atlanta were hit hard, but airlines can now restore full schedules system-wide. And the timing matters: the Thanksgiving travel period typically the busiest stretch of the year is about to begin, with heavy passenger volumes expected.

With the restrictions gone, Detroit travelers should notice smoother operations and more available flights as the holiday rush kicks off.

US aircraft carrier arrives in the Caribbean in major buildup near Venezuela

The nation's most advanced aircraft carrier arrived in the Caribbean Sea on Sunday in a display of U.S. military power, raising questions about what the new influx of troops and weaponry could signal for the Trump administration's intentions in South America as it conducts military strikes against vessels suspected of transporting drugs.

The arrival of the USS Gerald R. Ford and other warships, announced by the Navy in a statement, marks a major moment in what the administration insists is a counterdrug operation but has been seen as an escalating pressure tactic against Venezuelan President Nicols Maduro. Since early September, U.S. strikes have killed at least 80 people in 20 attacks on small boats accused of transporting drugs in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific Ocean.

The Ford rounds off the largest buildup of U.S. firepower in the region in generations. With its arrival, the Operation Southern Spear" mission includes nearly a dozen Navy ships and about 12,000 sailors and Marines.

The carrier strike group, which includes squadrons of fighter jets and guided-missile destroyers, transited the Anegada Passage near the British Virgin Islands on Sunday morning, the Navy said.

RELATED STORY | Trump confirms the CIA is conducting covert operations inside Venezuela

Rear Adm. Paul Lanzilotta, who commands the strike group, said it will bolster an already large force of American warships to "protect our nations security and prosperity against narco-terrorism in the Western Hemisphere.

Adm. Alvin Holsey, the commander who oversees the Caribbean and Latin America, said in a statement that the American forces stand ready to combat the transnational threats that seek to destabilize our region.

Holsey, who will retire next month after just a year on the job, said the strike group's deployment is "a critical step in reinforcing our resolve to protect the security of the Western Hemisphere and the safety of the American Homeland.

In Trinidad and Tobago, which is only 7 miles from Venezuela at its closest point, government officials said troops have begun training exercises with the U.S. military that will run through much of the week.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Sean Sobers described the joint exercises as the second in less than a month and said they are aimed at tackling violent crime on the island nation, which has become a stopover point for drug shipments headed to Europe and North America. The prime minister has been a vocal supporter of the U.S. military strikes.

The exercises will include Marines from the 22nd Expeditionary Unit who have been stationed aboard the Navy ships that have been looming off Venezuela's coast for months.

Venezuelas government has described the training exercises as an act of aggression. It had no immediate comment Sunday on the arrival of the aircraft carrier.

Meanwhile, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll said Sunday that U.S. troops have been training in Panama, underscoring the administrations increasing focus on Latin America.

Were reactivating our jungle school in Panama. We would be ready to act on whatever Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth needed, he told CBS Face the Nation."

The administration has insisted that the buildup of American forces in the region is focused on stopping the flow of drugs into the U.S., but it has released no evidence to support its assertions that those killed in the boats were narcoterrorists. Trump has indicated military action would expand beyond strikes by sea, saying the U.S. would "stop the drugs coming in by land.

The U.S. has long used aircraft carriers to pressure and deter aggression by other nations because their warplanes can strike targets deep inside another country. Some experts say the Ford is ill-suited to fighting cartels, but it could be an effective instrument of intimidation for Maduro in a push to get him to step down.

RELATED STORY | Venezuela accuses US of 'illegally and hostilely' seizing a fishing boat in Caribbean waters

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the United States does not recognize Maduro, who was widely accused of stealing last years election, as Venezuelas legitimate leader. Rubio has called Venezuela's government a transshipment organization that openly cooperates with those trafficking drugs.

Maduro, who faces charges of narcoterrorism in the U.S., has said the U.S. government is fabricating a war against him. On his Facebook page, Maduro wrote on Sunday that the Venezuelan people are ready to defend their homeland against any criminal aggression.

Venezuelas government recently touted a massive mobilization of troops and civilians to defend against possible U.S. attacks. Maduro and other officials in Venezuelas socialist party also have been attending rallies this weekend to back the creation of neighborhood committees that will be in charge of increasing membership in Venezuelas socialist party, and promoting the partys policies.

Trump has justified the attacks on drug boats by saying the U.S. is in armed conflict with drug cartels while claiming the boats are operated by foreign terrorist organizations.

He has faced pushback from leaders in the region, the U.N. human rights chief and U.S. lawmakers, including Republicans, who have pressed for more information on who is being targeted and the legal justification for the boat strikes.

Senate Republicans, however, recently voted to reject legislation that would have put a check on Trumps ability to launch an attack against Venezuela without congressional authorization.

Experts disagree on whether or not American warplanes may be used to strike land targets inside Venezuela. Either way, the 100,000-ton warship is sending a message.

This is the anchor of what it means to have U.S. military power once again in Latin America, said Elizabeth Dickinson, the International Crisis Groups senior analyst for the Andes region. And it has raised a lot of anxieties in Venezuela but also throughout the region. I think everyone is watching this with sort of bated breath to see just how willing the U.S. is to really use military force.

Trump slams Indiana Republicans for not moving forward with redistricting effort

President Donald Trump is warning Indiana Republicans that anyone who opposes a new redistricting push could face a primary challenge, escalating tensions inside the party.

Trumps comments on Sunday came after Indiana Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray said Friday that there was not enough support in the chamber to move forward with redistricting.

Trump singled out Bray directly, accusing him of jeopardizing Republicans chances of controlling the U.S. House after the 2026 midterms.

"Any Republican that votes against this important redistricting, potentially having an impact on America itself, should be PRIMARIED," Trump said on Truth Social.

RELATED STORY | Indiana Republicans will not push forward with redistricting, Senate official says

He also took aim at Indiana Gov. Mike Braun, who called a special session to pursue redistricting after pressure from the Trump administration.

"Governor Mike Braun, perhaps, is not working the way he should to get the necessary Votes," Trump said. "Considering that Mike wouldnt be Governor without me (Not even close!), is disappointing!"

Redistricting battles are playing out across the country. Republican-led legislatures in Texas, Missouri and North Carolina have worked to craft maps favorable to the GOP.

Meanwhile, Democrats in California advanced their own strategy in response to Republicans: A ballot measure passed in November that gives the party a favorable map and could allow Democrats to pick up as many as five seats in 2026.

There are currently 219 Republicans and 214 Democrats in the House

β€˜Now You See Me 3’ races past β€˜The Running Man’ at box office

Its no magic trick: The third installment in the thieving magician Now You See Me series beat the high-profile action pic The Running Man at the North American box office this weekend. Lionsgates Now You See Me: Now You Dont pulled in $21.3 million, while Paramounts The Running Man made $17 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Now You See Me: Now You Dont, which cost a reported $90 million to produce, comes almost 10 years after the second film. Including ticket sales from 64 international territories, its worldwide opening is estimated to be around $75.5 million. Going into the weekend, it was expected to be a closer race between the two newcomers.

The first two movies in the Now You See Me series, released in 2013 and 2016, earned over $686 million worldwide. This installment, directed by Ruben Fleischer, sees the return of the original Four Horsemen, Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco, and introduces three younger magicians into the mix: Dominic Sessa, Ariana Greenblatt and Justice Smith. A fourth film is already in the works.

Reviews were mixed on Rotten Tomatoes, coming in at 59%. According to PostTrak polling, audiences were a bit more positive, with 63% saying they would definitely recommend.

Audience scores were slightly less for The Running Man, which had a 58% definitely recommend. Both earned a B+ CinemaScore, but more people chose the franchise. One key difference is that women made up more of the Now You See Me audience (54%). They only accounted for 37% of The Running Man ticket buyers.

Edgar Wright directed and co-wrote The Running Man, the second adaptation of Stephen Kings novel, first published in 1982. The first film starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and was released in 1987 to mixed reviews and a tepid box office, earning only $38 million against a $27 million budget. The new version stars Glen Powell, who has had a good track record starring in box office hits, from the romantic comedy Anyone But You to Twisters.

Paramount Pictures released The Running Man in 3,400 domestic locations and 58 international markets. Worldwide, it earned $28.2 million against a reported $110 million budget.

The weekends other new opener, Keeper, the third feature from Longlegs filmmaker Oz Perkins, cratered with $2.6 million and a D+ CinemaScore. But as an acquisition title for Neon, its also not a disaster.

Third place went to Predator: Badlands with $13 million in its second weekend, followed by Regretting You in fourth with $4 million. Black Phone 2 rounded out the top five with $2.7 million, bringing its domestic total to $74.7 million after five weeks in theaters.

In anticipation of the big budget musical Wicked: For Good, which opens next week, Universal Pictures put Wicked back in 2,195 theaters, where it made $1.2 million barely missing a spot in the top 10.

The box office should pick up considerably when Wicked 2 blows into theaters, followed by Zootopia 2 before the Thanksgiving holiday. Comscore's Paul Dergarabedian said it could be one of the highest grossing five-day Thanksgiving frames of all time.

Gen Z–led protest in Mexico draws thousands, ends in violent clashes with police

Several thousand people took to the streets of Mexico City on Saturday to protest crime, corruption and impunity in a demonstration organized by members of Generation Z, but which ended with strong backing from older supporters of opposition parties.

The demonstration was mostly peaceful but ended with some young people clashing with the police. Protesters attacked police with stones, fireworks, sticks and chains, grabbing police shields and other equipment.

The capitals security secretary, Pablo Vzquez. said 120 people were injured, 100 of them police officers. Twenty people were arrested.

In several countries this year, members of the demographic group born between the late 1990s and early 2010s have organized protests against inequality, democratic backsliding and corruption.

The largest "Gen Z protests took place in Nepal in September, following a ban on social media, and led to the resignation of that nations prime minister. In Mexico, many young people say they are frustrated with systemic problems like corruption and impunity for violent crimes.

We need more security said Andres Massa, a 29-year-old business consultant who carried the pirate skull flag that has become a global symbol of Gen Z protests.

Arizbeth Garcia, a 43-year-old physician who joined the protests said she was marching for more funding for the public health system, and for better security because doctors are also exposed to the insecurity gripping the country, where you can be murdered and nothing happens.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum still has high approval ratings despite a recent spate of high profile murders that includes the assassination of a popular mayor in the western state of Michoacan.

In the days leading up to Saturdays protest, Sheinbaum accused right-wing parties of trying to infiltrate the Gen Z movement, and of using bots on social media to try to increase attendance.

This week some Gen Z social media influencers said they no longer backed Saturdays protests. While elderly figures like former President Vicente Fox, and Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego published messages in support of the protests.

Saturdays march was attended by people from several age groups, with supporters of the recently killed Michoacan Mayor Carlos Manzo, attending the protest wearing the straw hats that symbolize his political movement.

The state is dying, said Rosa Maria Avila, a 65-year-old real estate agent who traveled from the town of Patzcuaro in Michoacan state.

He was killed because he was a man who was sending officers into the mountains to fight delinquents. He had the guts to confront them, she said of Manzo.

Ryan McLeod scored the tying goal on a short-handed breakaway. Alex Tuch also scored while Colten Ellis made 24 saves.

Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin added an assist. He rejoined the team after a three-game leave of absence. Dahlin spent a week in Sweden visiting his fiancee, who is recuperating from heart transplant surgery.

Alex DeBrincat scored two goals for the second straight game for the Red Wings. He also had two goals and an assist against Anaheim on Thursday.

Allen, Ross each score twice in Penn State's win over Michigan State

Ethan Grunkemeyer threw two touchdown passes to Devonte Ross, Kaytron Allen ran for a career-high 181 yards and two touchdowns and Penn State defeated Michigan State 28-10 on Saturday to snap a six-game losing streak.

Grunkemeyer completed 8 of 13 passes for 127 yards for the Nittany Lions (4-6 overall, 1-6 Big Ten).

Grunkemeyer sealed the win with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Ross with 4:32 left and Allen added his second touchdown on a 26-yard run with 2:07 remaining.

Im just super happy for our kids, said Penn State interim head coach Terry Smith. Im super happy for our program. Im super happy for our fans and our following. We deserved this game. We now know again what it feels like to win, and we just got to build on this with momentum.

Alessio Milivojevic completed 17 of 27 passes for 128 yards for the Spartans (3-7, 0-7) who lost their seventh straight game.

Elijah Tau-Tolliver ran 57 yards for a touchdown on Michigan States first play of the game. Allen tied it on the ensuing Penn State possession with an 8-yard scoring run.

Following a Michigan State field goal, the Nittany Lions went in front 14-10 on Grunkemeyers 75-yard touchdown pass to Ross.

We havent won a game in a little bit, Ross said. So its definitely some relief to finally get that win again. We know what were about. We know what this team is about, so just finally getting that win just showcased that, and we all played amazing today.

Michigan State quarterback Aidan Chiles did not play as he was on the pregame sidelines wearing a walking boot on his left foot. He started the first eight games of the season but saw his streak of 20 consecutive starts come to an end on Nov. 1 against Minnesota when he was replaced by Milivojevic.

They earned that win beating us, Michigan State coach Jonathan Smith said. They are good on defense. And we did think though, we had to create a couple opportunities situationally to take a shot, and we just did not capitalize a couple of times.

Probation update

The Spartans played their first game since the NCAA placed Michigan States football program on three years of probation for violations that occurred during Mel Tuckers tenure as coach.

In his first comments about the NCAA investigation that's now concluded, Smith said after the game that he did not know about the investigation when he was hired from Oregon State in November 2023. He said it was brought to his attention earlier this year.

The takeaway

Penn State: The Nittany Lions avoided their first seven-game losing streak in the same season since 1931. With a home game against Nebraska and traveling to Rutgers to close the regular season, Penn State's hopes to go to a bowl remain alive.

Michigan State: Porous pass protection and the inability of wide receivers hampered the Spartans' passing game. Michigan State gave up five sacks to Penn State, raising their total sacks given up this season to 35.

We've got to protect him (Milivojevic)," Smith said. "The five guys in front of him, the scheme schematics have to help out once in a while. But you got to pick and choose once in a while to be able to try to push it down the field. And you run that risk (of a QB sack).

Penn State hosts Nebraska on Saturday.

Zvada's 31-yard field goal as time expires lifts No. 18 Michigan over Northwestern

Dominic Zvada kicked a 31-yard field goal as time expired, Jordan Marshall ran for 142 yards and two touchdowns before exiting with an injury and No. 18 Michigan stayed in the playoff chase by beating Northwestern 24-22 at Wrigley Field on Saturday.

The Wolverines (8-2, 6-1 Big Ten, No. 18 CFP) overcame three late turnovers, including two interceptions by Bryce Underwood, and remained in the running for the College Football Playoff with their fourth straight win. Northwestern (5-5, 3-4) lost its third in a row.

Oh man, how about that one? Michigan coach Sherrone Moore said as he stepped to the podium.

Zvadas boot capped a 50-yard drive and set off a celebration on the field and in the stands, where a large part of the crowd wore maize and blue. He missed earlier from 34 and 60 yards.

Michigan was up 21-9 when the Wildcats Preston Stone plowed in from the 1 two minutes into the fourth quarter.

Michigan then had a third down at its 26 when Braden Turner picked off a pass intended for Deakon Tonielli and returned it to the 6. Caleb Komolafe ran it in on the next play, giving Northwestern a 22-21 lead with 12:05 remaining in the game. The 2-point conversion pass failed.

Michigan then drove to the 30 before Underwood got picked off again, this time by Robert Fitzgerald at the 20. The Wolverines had another opportunity after Northwestern punted, only to give it away again after opting not to go for the field goal. They had a fourth-and-1 at the Wildcats 24 when Bryson Kuzdzal fumbled the handoff and Northwestern recovered.

You appreciate the hard work, you appreciate their fight, their grit to finish, Moore said.

Marshall had another big outing with Justice Haynes missing his second consecutive game because of a right foot injury. After setting career highs with 185 yards rushing and three touchdowns in a narrow win against Purdue two weeks ago, he scored twice from the 1 and set up a TD run by Underwood with a 65-yard dash. He exited with what Moore described as a minor injury after getting tackled on a 24-yard run early in the fourth.

Underwood, coming off shaky performances in wins over Michigan State and Purdue, completed 21 of 32 passes for 280 yards.

Just got a lot of things to work on, to watch back on film, to see (what) we did wrong, Underwood said. But overall, just coming back next week being better, not making the same mistakes.

Freshman Andrew Marsh's 12 receptions and 189 yards were the most by a Michigan freshman since at least 1979. He became the Wolverines' first freshman wide receiver with multiple 100-yard games since Roy Roundtree in 2009.

Marsh kept the winning drive going with a neat grab, hauling in a third-down conversion as he fell out of bounds along the sideline, and the Wolverines beat Northwestern for the 14th time in the past 15 meetings.

It means the world to me just to be able to have a chance, an opportunity to come out here with the team, with the guys I work hard with every week, he said.

Stone was 13 of 27 for 184 yards.

Hunter Welcing had 81 yards receiving, and the Wildcats dropped their 14th straight against Top 25 teams.

None of us want to hear, Hey, good effort, guys. You gave Michigan a run for their money. That was a great effort, coach David Braun said. We came here to win a football game and that was the expectation.

Takeaways

Michigan: The Wolverines remained on course to make the College Football Playoff, no easy task with No. 1 Ohio State visiting on Nov. 29.

Northwestern: The Wildcats have two more opportunities to become bowl-eligible for the second time in coach David Brauns three seasons. They host Minnesota at Wrigley next week before visiting Illinois in the finale.

Up next

Michigan: Visits Maryland on Nov. 22.

Northwestern: Hosts Minnesota at Wrigley Field on Nov. 22.

Thanksgiving Travel Forecast

The biggest travel week of the year is still over a week away, but were already looking ahead because we know it typically doesnt arrive without some weather disruptions. If youre getting an early start on your holiday travel this week, a storm system will brush by bringing a rain and snow mix to Metro Detroit by Tuesday afternoon and evening. This system doesn't look too strong and shouldn't interfere much with local travel.

However, our weather pattern becomes more active with a potentially stronger storm system bringing a wet and wind-packed finish to the week, which could slow down travel across Metro Detroit Thursday afternoon through Friday.

If youre traveling the week of Thanksgiving, you may be dealing with more disruptions across parts of the nation.While its still a bit early to really dive into weather specifics, we can look at model trends moving forward into the holiday.A stormy pattern may be shaping up out west and for parts the deep south, snow and rain chances in the upper Midwest and Great Lakes with the calmest weather down south, especially for those traveling to Florida for the week of Thanksgiving.

The main storm system to watch is a trough entering the Rockies and moving into the Plain states the beginning Thanksgiving week.This system will tap into Gulf moisture and introduce warmer air surging north colliding with colder air aloft. This will help initiate rain and storms for the Plains and trigger snow chances to the north.Snow could delay and disrupt travel from Denver to Minneapolis as the storm track continues through the northern plains and in the Midwest.

The Northeast and the south could see some trouble with wind, rain and mixed precipitation the Saturday after Thanksgiving when many people are heading back home after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Fetterman shares photo of bloodied face after fall that sent him to hospital

Sen. John Fetterman is out of the hospital and recovering at home after what appears to have been a brutal fall on Thursday.

The Pennsylvania senator posted a smiling photo of himself on X with blood still visible on his face.

"20 stitches later and a full recovery, Im back home with @giselefetterman and the kids," he said. "Im overwhelmed + profoundly grateful for all the well-wishes."

A spokesperson for Fetterman said he fell near his home in Braddock. The fall was apparently caused by a ventricular fibrillation flare-up, a condition he was diagnosed with in 2022 following his stroke.

According to the Mayo Clinic, ventricular fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm that prevents the heart from pumping blood to the rest of the body. Its the most frequent cause of sudden cardiac death, the Mayo Clinic states.

After the episode, Fetterman received care at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Greene says Trump’s β€˜traitor’ attack is putting her safety at risk

The feud between one-time allies President Donald Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is intensifying, and Greene says the clash is now putting her safety at risk.

"I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world," Greene said on X.

Early Saturday morning, Trump called Greene a traitor, adding that she is a disgrace to the Republican Party.

Tension between the two Republicans has been building for weeks, if not months. Trump suggested it stems from his refusal to support Greene in a potential run for senator or governor. Greene, however, says the fallout is tied to her backing a push to release the Epstein files.

On Friday, Greene posted screenshots appearing to show her texting Trump about why she supports making the files public. Another screenshot appears to show a Trump aide replying, The Jeffrey Epstein Hoax.

Trump has repeatedly railed against a discharge petition that would force a vote on a bill requiring the Department of Justice to publish all unclassified records, documents, communications and investigative materials tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Greene was one of only a few Republicans to sign the petition.

On Sunday, she also shared a letter from Epsteins accusers praising her for defying the president. We stand united with you against any attempt to bully, rewrite history, or shut down accountability, the letter states.

The petition secured the required 218 signatures on Saturday, forcing a floor vote. The House is scheduled to vote on Tuesday.

Inside Ford's new $1.2 billion headquarters, a move after 70 years in iconic Glass House

Ford Motor Company has officially moved into its new state-of-the-art world headquarters in Dearborn, marking the end of a 70-year era at the legendary "Glass House." The massive 2.1-million-square-foot campus is twice the size of its predecessor and designed to drive the next century of automotive innovation.

The new facility unites engineering, design and technology teams under one roof for the first time, creating what Ford executives call a more collaborative and employee-friendly workspace.

"This building is preparing us for the next 100 years of work. So it's an incredibly progressive future-focused model," said Jennifer Kolstad, Ford's Global Design and Brand Director.

Planning for the headquarters began in 2017, with construction starting three and a half years ago. The campus was built on the historic site of Ford's 1953 Product Development Center, where automotive icons like the Mustang and F-150 were first imagined.

Jim Dobleske, Chair and CEO of Ford Land, emphasized the intentional focus on natural lighting and walkability throughout the facility.

"You'll have marketing, sales, and service sitting next to finance, sitting next to engineers, sitting next to designers, all sitting next to the product, where before those individuals would have been in different unique buildings," Dobleske said.

The campus features significant upgrades from the Glass House, including a massive jump from a 70,000-square-foot lobby and caf to a 160,000-square-foot food hall led by Executive Chef Grant Vella. The facility also offers 12 acres of green space, five courtyards, wellness areas and shared workspaces designed for all 4,000 employees expected onsite by 2027.

The new layout is designed for efficiency, reducing material movement time by over 80%. Additionally, 14,000 employees will now be within a 15-minute walk of each other, a proximity Ford believes will accelerate innovation.

Kolstad noted the campus represents Ford's commitment to the Detroit community.

"Before, we were in the center of a large lot and it felt like we were at a distance, but now we're an integrated part of the community. And as you know, the Fords love the city of Detroit. And I think that this building tells that message clearly," Kolstad said.

More than a week after Election Day, the Hamtramck mayoral race remains undecided as officials work to resolve ballot disputes that could determine the winner.

The Wayne County Board of Canvassers voted Friday to reject 37 absentee ballots found in the city clerk's office after the election, meaning they will not be counted in the final tally.

"I will make a motion to reject the 37 ballots that are in question," a board member said during the meeting.

According to unofficial results, Adam Alharbi was elected as Hamtramck's new mayor, defeating City Councilman Muhith Mahmood by just 11 votes. However, 120 cured ballots ballots that needed minor corrections still need to be counted, which could swing the election results either way.

7 New Detroit reporter Tiarra Braddock spoke to Alharbi on Saturday about the remaining 120 votes.

"I think it's a matter of time that we will get an answer from Wayne County," Alharbi said. "I think they will probably be split and I will still have the lead."

7 News Detroit reached out to Mahmood and his attorney multiple times via email and phone. I even stopped by his house in Hamtramck, where his wife answered and said he wasn't home. Mahmood previously spoke to us about the ballot situation.

"We know that voting is a constitutional right and if somebody voted and made a mistake, they should not pay for it," Mahmood said. "They have a right to choose their future leader whether it's me or Adam Alharbi, I don't know who's going to win."

Per state law, the Board of Canvassers must canvas and certify the election results no later than two weeks after Election Day, which is November 18. The winner of the highly contested race should be known soon.

Texas state trooper sent home after bumping South Carolina player during game

A Texas trooper who had an altercation with South Carolina's Nyck Harbor after his touchdown on Saturday was sent home from the game, according to the state Department of Public Safety.

Harbor scored on an 80-yard reception in the second quarter of the game against Texas A&M and ran into the tunnel limping following the score. As he and three other players were walking back to the field, the trooper walked in between Harbor and another player and bumped into them as they passed each other.

The trooper and Harbor turned around and the trooper pointed at Harbor with both hands and said something to him. Harbor was quickly pushed away by his teammate and they continued to the field.

The public safety department issued a statement saying the trooper was sent home.

"Our Office of Inspector General (OIG) is also aware of the incident and will be further looking into the matter. No additional information will be released at this time," the statement reads.

The video was widely shared on social media with many commenting on it, including Lakers star LeBron James.
