Flights across Florida were forced to stay on the ground on Monday due to widespread issues with an air traffic control system, according to Reuters. As the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) worked to fix the problem, it “slowed the volume of traffic into Florida airspace,” causing delays for passengers across the United States. The ground stops followed a difficult few weeks for U.S. air passengers, after a winter storm caused flight delays and cancellations across the country just days before Christmas....

Mauricio Pochettino’s men kicked off their Champions League campaign with an excellent win over the Bundesliga giants, in a game that also marked their first victory of the season at the national stadium. Spurs 8/1 to beat Swansea 2-1 Spurs will play all of their home games at Wembley this season as the new White Hart Lane is constructed, and early performances – a loss to Chelsea and a draw with Burnley – did little to convince fans that the club could again mount a Premier League title challenge, as they have done in each of the two previous seasons....

“I am devastated at the loss of U.S. servicemembers and Afghan civilians in today’s horrific attack, and I’m thinking of their families. Our country feels their grief, and we will never forget their loved ones’ sacrifices,” Wild wrote on Twitter. “Although it is clear to me that we could not continue to put American servicemembers in danger for an unwinnable war, I also believe that the evacuation process appears to have been egregiously mishandled,” she continued....

State Representative Cynthia Johnson previously said she received threats of violence following her questioning of Rudy Giuliani in Michigan last week. Giuliani, the former New York City mayor who is now a personal attorney for President Donald Trump, attended a hearing in Michigan on December 2 to discuss allegations of voter fraud during last month’s election. Johnson posted online some of the threatening voicemails she received following the hearing. She appeared to reference one in her Tuesday video message before issuing a “warning” to Trump supporters....

“There’s so much non-COVID-related stimulus in this,” said Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary, who also appeared on the program. “It’s a horrible, horrible piece of legislation. And I think every American should read it. It’s just full of waste.” Following O’Leary’s comment, host Andrew Ross Sorkin asked if Suozzi agreed there was waste in Biden’s $1.9 trillion package, to which the New York congressman responded, “There’s no question there’s some waste in there....

ICE has faced significant backlash under the administration of President Donald Trump, due to hardline immigration policies such as the highly controversial decision to separate thousands of childrens from their parents at the southern U.S. border with Mexico. Progressive Democratic lawmakers have become staunch critics of the agency and its targeting of undocumented immigrants. They have repeatedly called for the government to abolish or defund ICE altogether. In a Monday Twitter post, ICE wrote: “Today we honor Dr....

In Michigan, Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer flipped rural Bay, Benzie, Clinton, Eaton, and Grand Traverse counties from red to blue as she cruised to victory over Republican Tudor Dixon. Early on, Democrat John Fetterman’s Pennsylvania Senate campaign declared they had every intention of closing the gap in rural counties. According to The Daily Yonder, a news site specializing in rural issues, Fetterman did just that, improving on Biden’s 2020 rural showing by 2....

Lewandowski’s repeated refusal to answer questions issued by Democratic members of the panel, such as those concerning the directive he received from Trump in 2017 to pass a message to then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to unrecuse himself, limit the scope of the Russia investigation and exclude the Trump campaign, came at the direction of the White House. This despite Lewandowski never having an official role in the administration and being a private citizen, something Democrats say is a clear indication of obstruction of Congress and an abuse of power to try and hide attempts by Trump to thwart former special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe....

On Tuesday, Columbus voters saw four Democrats elected to City Council seats, with only three Republican incumbents claiming re-election victory. In one district, Democrat Jerone Wood beat out Republican incumbent Dascal Bunch by just one vote, according to local newspaper, The Republic. In another, incumbent Democrat Elaine Wagner beat her GOP opponent, Jim Hartsook by several hundred. Meanwhile, both of the city’s “council at-large” seats went to Democrats, with incumbent Tom Dell retaining power, while Grace Kestler also swept to victory....

Democrats aiming to hold onto control of the Senate have not focused substantial attention on Iowa, viewing Grassley, 89, the longest-serving Republican in the Senate who has easily defeated Democratic challengers in the past, as well-positioned to win reelection. However, a Des Moines Register poll published on Saturday found Grassley leading Franken, 64, by only 3 percentage points. The poll, conducted by Selzer & Co from October 9 to 11, found Grassley winning 46 percent of likely voters....

Clint Dempsey has buried concerns about his European success translating to MLS dominance as he has found a rich vein of form and has helped Seattle to an outstanding start to the season. The Sounders boast the league's best record at the quarter pole, and have done so despite an offseason roster overhaul that saw a half-dozen new veteran players brought on board. Seattle isn't the only team that has enjoyed early success after an offseason shakeup....

After arriving in MLS from Tottenham Hotspur at the end of last season, it was nine appearances before the U.S. men's national team captain found his first and only goal of 2013 campaign. Following three playoff games without a goal, including two humiliating losses to Portland, doubts about Dempsey began to surface. Was he really worth the huge contract and record transfer fee MLS had committed to lure him home?...

The red, black and white paint scheme is reminiscent of the Bulls colors Jordan wore in his playing days, with the number on the side of the car even being framed like a jersey. Wallace and Hamlin presented the car at Charlotte Motor Speedway on “CBS This Morning,” in the same market where Jordan owns an NBA team, the Charlotte Hornets.

Fury (29-0-1, 20 KOs) outboxed Wilder for the majority of the contest. But Wilder has the equalizer — a patented right hand, the likes of which boxing rarely sees in a lifetime. After knocking down Fury in the eighth round, Wilder was down on two scorecards heading into the 12th round and looking for knockout to win. The 2008 Olympic bronze medalist appeared to send Fury down for the count with a vicious two-punch combination that would have knocked a normal man unconscious....

On Wednesday, a minute-long trailer was unveiled for Tubi’s Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial, starring Mark Hapka and Megan Davis as the warring exes during the six-week trial that took place this year in Fairfax, Virginia. A number of moments from the televised battle have been recreated, including Depp’s courtroom sketches and the wave of social media backlash against Heard. Hapka is shown sporting a goatee and ponytail as Depp, while Davis’ costumes recall Heard’s much-talked-about court ensembles....

Oakland’s 27-20 comeback victory at Azteca Stadium did more than chip away at Houston’s AFC South lead. This setback is especially painful because it’s a reminder of the past and present quarterbacking issues that Carr could have answered. We know, we know — the Texans’ hierarchy and their fans are tired of hearing about the QB mistakes made in the 2014 NFL Draft. But analyzing the direction both teams are headed can’t be told without it....

The filing said that Chauvin’s conviction on three charges related to his May 25, 2020 killing of Black Minneapolis man George Floyd was “contrary to law.” On April 20, a jury found Chauvin, a former police officer, guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Nelson’s filing, submitted to the Fourth Judicial District Court, said that “abuses of discretion deprived the Defendant of a fair trial.” The filing cited the following problems: “prosecutorial and jury misconduct; errors of law at trial; and a verdict that is contrary to law....

The decision issued by Hennepin County District Court Judge Peter Cahill said that charges against Chauvin of unintentional second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter will remain. In the decision—which was made public on Thursday—Cahill wrote that “probable cause does not exist” for the third-degree murder charge that was filed against Chauvin, but said there is probable cause for the other charges Chauvin face. The three other former officers who face charges in connection with Floyd’s death—Tou Thao, Thomas Lane and J....
