Description

Donald Trump announced key appointments to his second administration, naming former NY Rep. Lee Zeldin to lead the EPA, Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff for policy and Tom Homan as "border czar." Wisconsin’s Supreme Court heard arguments for reinstating the state’s 175-year-old abortion ban, with conservative prosecutors claiming it was reactivated by the end of Roe v. Wade and liberal justices expressing skepticism. A Spirit Airlines flight bound for Haiti was forced to make an emergency landing in the Dominican Republic after being hit by gunfire from local gangs, with one flight attendant injured. An Indiana jury found Richard Allen guilty of the 2017 Delphi double murders, with sentencing set for December 20, potentially facing up to 130 years in prison. Authorities have recovered 25 of the 43 rhesus macaques that escaped from the Alpha Genesis Primate Research Center in South Carolina, though 18 remain at large.
