In Trump-dominated media world, editing video takes on new significance -- as BBC uproar shows

SUMMARY: The job of videotape editors was once one of the least-noticed in the media world. Not anymore. The seemingly mundane task of editing interviews or speeches for broadcast was at the center of this week's resignation of two prominent BBC executives. Editing was also central to the lawsuit over the "60 Minutes" interview with Kamala Harris, settled this summer for $16 million, and a change in CBS News' policy on how "Face the Nation" airs interviews. Another common denominator in each of these cases was President Donald Trump. Increasingly, how news broadcasts choose to use video has become part of political battles.

Small grocers and convenience stores feel an impact as customers go without SNAP benefits

SUMMARY: Some small grocery stores and neighborhood convenience stores are eager for the U.S. government shutdown to end and for their customers to start receiving federal food aid again. Late last month, the Trump administration froze funding for the SNAP benefits that about 42 million Americans use to buy groceries. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says about 74% of the assistance was spent last year at superstores like Walmart and supermarkets like Kroger. Around 14% went to smaller stores that are more accessible to SNAP beneficiaries. A former director of the United Nations World Food Program says SNAP is not only a social safety net for families but a local economic engine that supports neighborhood businesses.

The best used hybrid SUVs you can buy for less than $25,000

SUMMARY: Car shoppers love SUVs because of their commanding view of the road, generous amounts of passenger space, and roomy cargo holds. Less appealing are the elevated fuel bills that often come with an SUV, along with the expense of buying a showroom-fresh model. The automotive experts at Edmunds have found a solution -- or five of them, to be exact -- that help counter these fiscal hurdles. A used hybrid SUV not only saves money at the initial purchase; it also lowers the costs of refueling for many years and miles down the road.

Shutdown leaves a mark on an already-struggling economy, from lost paychecks to canceled flights

SUMMARY: The longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history appears to be nearing an end, but not without leaving a mark on an already-struggling economy. About 1.25 million federal workers missed at least one or two paychecks. Thousands of flights have been canceled. Government contract awards have slowed and some food aid recipients have seen their benefits interrupted. Most of the lost economic activity will be recovered when the government reopens, as federal workers receive back pay. But some canceled flights won't be retaken, missed restaurant meals won't be made up, and some postponed purchases by workers will not happen at all.

SoftBank's shares plunged 6.6% in Tokyo after it said Tuesday that it sold its entire stake in the AI chip company Nividia for $5.8 billion last month. On Tuesday, the S&P 500 added 0.2% and the Dow industrials gained 1.2% to a record, surpassing its prior all-time high set two weeks ago. The Nasdaq composite dipped 0.3%

There's no timeline on when flight cuts will ease up after the government shutdown ends

SUMMARY: Airlines have canceled over 9,000 flights across the U.S. since the Federal Aviation Administration ordered flight cuts late last week. The cuts aim to ease demands on short-staffed control towers during the federal government shutdown. On Tuesday, another 1,200 flights were canceled as the FAA increased its target for reducing flights at major airports. Flights are expected to remain disrupted even as the shutdown nears an end, and cancellations are unlikely to ease right away. The pace of airline ticket sales for Thanksgiving travel has slowed as more travelers have reconsidered whether to fly amid all the delays and cancellations.

Apple pulls two gay dating apps in China under government order

SUMMARY: Apple says it has pulled two popular gay dating apps in China following an order from Chinese authorities in the latest evidence of their tightening grip on the LGBTQ+ community. An Apple spokesperson confirmed the company removed Blued and Finka from its app store in the country to conform with an order from the Cyberspace Administration of China. Previously another popular gay dating app, Grindr, was pulled from Apple's app store in China in 2022. China's LGBTQ+ community and advocacy groups are facing pressure from authorities, even though the country decriminalized homosexuality in 1997. Some LGBTQ+ groups have been forced to cease operations in recent years and activism has been constrained.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 1.2% to a record, surpassing its prior all-time high set two weeks ago. The Nasdaq composite lagged the market, though, as Nvidia got back to falling amid continued concerns that stocks caught up in the artificial-intelligence frenzy may have become too expensive. The Nasdaq dipped 0.3%.

What to know about Trump's plan to give Americans a $2,000 tariff dividend

SUMMARY: President Donald Trump boasts that his tariffs protect American industries, lure factories to the United States, raise money for the federal government and give him diplomatic leverage. Now, he's claiming they can finance a windfall for American families, too: He's promising a $2,000 tariff dividend. The president proposed the idea on his Truth Social media platform Sunday, five days after his Republican Party lost elections in Virginia, New Jersey and elsewhere largely because of voter discontent with his economic stewardship and the high cost of living. Budget experts scoffed at the idea, which conjured memories of the Trump administration's short-lived plan for DOGE dividend checks paid for by billionaire Elon Musk's federal budget cuts.

Lawsuit challenges TSA's ban on transgender officers conducting pat-downs

SUMMARY: A Virginia transportation security officer is accusing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security of sex discrimination over a policy barring transgender officers from performing security pat-downs. The Transportation Security Administration enacted the policy in February to comply with a Trump executive order declaring two unchangeable sexes. The lawsuit, filed Friday, argues the policy violates civil rights laws. It also bars the officer from using restrooms aligning with her gender identity. TSA said it does not comment on pending litigation. DHS pushed back on assertions by some legal experts that its policy is discriminatory.

White House's 50-year mortgage proposal has one notable benefit but a number of drawbacks

SUMMARY: The White House says it is considering a 50-year mortgage to address the home affordability crisis. Critics argue it won't solve issues like supply shortages and high interest rates. Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, called it a "game changer" for homebuyers. He noted on X that it's just one potential solution among others being considered. A 50-year mortgage would lower a borrower's monthly payments but could dramatically increase their total interest paid. It would also delay equity accumulation compared to a 30-year mortgage.

Everyday volunteers are providing stopgap services during the shutdown in a show of community power

SUMMARY: Everyday people are improvising stopgap efforts to support their communities through the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Whether feeding hungry families or maintaining local museum tours, volunteers nationwide are strengthening social ties that they hope will continue making their neighbors whole in the face of persistent precarity. And the community engagement isn't slowing down even as lawmakers approach a deal to reopen the government. Hale Morrissette, who co-founded a Pensacola Grocery Buddies program to fight food insecurity, finds that "everybody's stepping up." She says "they know that this is not something that's like a partisan type of issue. It's about service and it's about taking care of each other."
