Airports and highways are expected to be jam-packed during Thanksgiving week, a holiday period likely to end with another record day for air travel in the United States. AAA predicts that nearly 80 million Americans will venture at least 50 miles from home between Tuesday and next Monday, most of them by car. However, travelers could be impacted by ongoing weather challenges and those flying to their destinations could be grounded by delays brought on by airline staffing shortages and an airport service workers strike . Here’s what we’re following today: Here’s the latest: “We cannot live on the wages that we are being paid,” ABM cabin cleaner Priscilla Hoyle said at a rally earlier Monday. “I can honestly say it’s hard every single day with my children, working a full-time job but having to look my kids in the eyes and sit there and say, ’I don’t know if we’re going to have a home today.’” Timothy Lowe II, a wheelchair attendant, said he has to figure out where to spend the night because he doesn’t make enough for a deposit on a home. “We just want to be able to have everything that’s a necessity paid for by the job that hired us to do a great job so they can make billions,” he said. ABM said it is “committed to addressing concerns swiftly” and that there are avenues for employees to communicate issues, including a national hotline and a “general open door policy for managers at our worksite.” Employees of ABM and Prospect Airport Services cast ballots Friday to authorize the work stoppage at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, a hub for American Airlines. They described living paycheck to paycheck while performing jobs that keep planes running on schedule. Most of them earn $12.50 to $19 an hour, union officials said. Rev. Glencie Rhedrick of Charlotte Clergy Coalition for Justice said those workers should make $22 to $25 an hour. The strike is expected to last 24 hours. Several hundred workers participated in the work stoppage. Forty-four fights have been canceled today and nearly 1,900 were delayed by midday on the East Coast, according to FlightAware . According to the organization’s cheekily named MiseryMap , San Francisco International Airport is having the most hiccups right now, with 53 delays and three cancellations between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. EST. While that might sound like a lot of delays, they might not be so bad compared to last Friday when the airport suffered 671 delays and 69 cancellations. In an apparent effort to reduce the headaches caused by airport line cutting, American Airlines has rolled out boarding technology that alerts gate agents with an audible sound if a passenger tries to scan a ticket ahead of their assigned group. This new software won’t accept a boarding pass before the group it’s assigned to is called, so customers who get to the gate prematurely will be asked to go back and wait their turn. As of Wednesday, the airline announced, the technology is now being used in more than 100 U.S. airports that American flies out of. The official expansion arrives after successful tests in three of these locations — Albuquerque International Sunport, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Tucson International Airport. ▶ Read more about American Airlines’ new boarding technology Travel can be stressful in the best of times. Now add in the high-level anxiety that seems to be baked into every holiday season and it’s clear travelers could use some help calming frazzled nerves. Here are a few ways to make your holiday journey a little less stressful: ▶ Read more tips about staying grounded during holiday travel Thanksgiving Day takes place late this year, with the fourth Thursday of November falling on Nov. 28. That shortens the traditional shopping season and changes the rhythm of holiday travel. With more time before the holiday , people tend to spread out their outbound travel over more days, but everyone returns at the same time, said Andrew Watterson, the chief operating officer of Southwest Airlines . “A late Thanksgiving leads to a big crush at the end,” Watterson said. “The Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday after Thanksgiving are usually very busy with Thanksgiving this late.” Airlines did a relatively good job of handling holiday crowds last year, when the weather was mild in most of the country. Fewer than 400 U.S. flights were canceled during Thanksgiving week in 2023 — about one out of every 450 flights. So far in 2024, airlines have canceled about 1.3% of all flights. Drivers should know that Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons will be the worst times to travel by car, but it should be smooth sailing on freeways come Thanksgiving Day, according to transportation analytics company INRIX. On the return home, the best travel times for motorists are before 1 p.m. on Sunday, and before 8 a.m. or after 7 p.m. on Monday, the company said. In metropolitan areas like Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle and Washington, “traffic is expected to be more than double what it typically is on a normal day,” INRIX transportation analyst Bob Pishue said. Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Mike Whitaker said last week that he expects his agency to use special measures at some facilities to deal with an ongoing shortage of air traffic controllers. In the past, those facilities have included airports in New York City and Florida. “If we are short on staff, we will slow traffic as needed to keep the system safe,” Whitaker said. The FAA has long struggled with a shortage of controllers that airline officials expect will last for years, despite the agency’s lofty hiring goals. ▶ Read more about Thanksgiving travel across the U.S. Workers who clean airplanes, remove trash and help with wheelchairs at Charlotte’s airport, one of the nation’s busiest, went on strike Monday to demand higher wages. The Service Employees International Union announced the strike in a statement early Monday, saying the workers would demand “an end to poverty wages and respect on the job during the holiday travel season.” The strike was expected to last 24 hours, said union spokesperson Sean Keady. Employees of ABM and Prospect Airport Services cast ballots Friday to authorize the work stoppage at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, a hub for American Airlines. The two companies contract with American, one of the world’s biggest carriers, to provide services such as cleaning airplane interiors, removing trash and escorting passengers in wheelchairs. ▶ Read more about the Charlotte airport workers’ strike Parts of the Midwest and East Coast can expect to see heavy rain into Thanksgiving, and there’s potential for snow in Northeastern states. A storm last week brought rain to New York and New Jersey, where wildfires have raged in recent weeks, and heavy snow to northeastern Pennsylvania. The precipitation was expected to help ease drought conditions after an exceptionally dry fall. Heavy snow fell in northeastern Pennsylvania, including the Pocono Mountains. Higher elevations reported up to 17 inches, with lesser accumulations in valley cities including Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. Around 35,000 customers in 10 counties were still without power, down from 80,000 a day ago. In the Catskills region of New York, nearly 10,000 people remained without power Sunday morning, two days after a storm dumped heavy snow on parts of the region. Precipitation in West Virginia helped put a dent in the state’s worst drought in at least two decades and boosted ski resorts as they prepare to open in the weeks ahead. ▶ Read more about Thanksgiving week weather forecasts Two people died in the Pacific Northwest after a rapidly intensifying “ bomb cyclone ” hit the West Coast last Tuesday, bringing fierce winds that toppled trees and power lines and damaged homes and cars. Hundreds of thousands lost electricity in Washington state before powerful gusts and record rains moved into Northern California. Forecasters said the risk of flooding and mudslides remained as the region will get more rain starting Sunday. But the latest storm won’t be as intense as last week’s atmospheric river , a long plume of moisture that forms over an ocean and flows over land. “However, there’s still threats, smaller threats, and not as significant in terms of magnitude, that are still going to exist across the West Coast for the next two or three days,” weather service forecaster Rich Otto said. As the rain moves east throughout the week, Otto said, there’s a potential for heavy snowfall at higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada, as well as portions of Utah and Colorado. California’s Mammoth Mountain, which received 2 feet of fresh snow in the recent storm, could get another 4 feet before the newest system clears out Wednesday, the resort said. Another round of wintry weather could complicate travel leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday, according to forecasts across the U.S., while California and Washington state continue to recover from storm damage and power outages. In California, where two people were found dead in floodwaters on Saturday, authorities braced for more rain while grappling with flooding and small landslides from a previous storm . Here’s a look at some of the regional forecasts: ▶ Read more about Thanksgiving week weather forecasts

I'm currently on a keto diet after receiving some results on my physical that I wasn't very happy about. For those unfamiliar with it, a keto diet is a low-carb diet that seeks to reduce or eliminate carbohydrates like rice, bread, pasta, potatoes and other starchy foods. One of those foods you must eliminate is waffles, which, combined with maple syrup, have too many carbs to keep you in your macros. Or do you? It turns out that with the $10 Dash Mini Waffle Maker , you can make keto waffles (also called chaffles) that look just as good as regular with a mix of shredded cheese and thoroughly whisked eggs. Some people recommend adding a pinch of baking soda for thickening, but I prefer to avoid it because it sometimes adds too much bitterness. Pour the mixture into the waffle iron, and you will get something that looks exactly like a regular waffle. To be clear, this doesn't really have the taste and texture of a "real" waffle. It's more of a savory egg cake than a waffle, and I usually use it as a bread substitute and eat it with cheese or meat rather than anything sweet. Dash even seems to encourage its use for keto waffles, including a recipe card that gives instructions on making it. Naturally, the Dash Mini features on our roundup of the best waffle makers due to its small size, easy cleaning and reasonable price. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money Small, cute and perfect waffles every time Safe to say, the Dash Mini was a tremendous hit with my wife, who immediately started to use it for her own (regular, non-keto) waffles. In fact, she liked it so much that she bought a second one, despite the fact that we have a perfectly good Chefman waffle maker. She loves how small and compact it is. Unlike our larger Chefman, it doesn't take up our limited countertop space, allowing us to store it away in a cabinet when we're not using it. It's also really simple to use; there are no buttons or dials or anything else at play. I simply plug it in for it to start heating, and the indicator light shows me when I can start cooking. Both sides are nonstick surfaces, but I usually use a bit of cooking spray before pouring the batter to make cleanup easier. These mini waffles are a perfect way to get into the holiday spirit. The Dash Mini can churn our perfectly sized, round 4-inch waffles in a matter of minutes and once I'm done, I just unplug it, wipe any debris out with paper towels and stow it away for the next day. If there's one gripe I have, it's that removable or interchangeable plates would have been a nice touch for easier cleaning, but that's something that's not common for waffle makers at this size or price range, so I can't really fault Dash for not offering it. The color options are also a nice touch. I got the retro red to match our kitchen backsplash, but there's also aqua, lilac, black, pink and white. Why the Dash Mini makes a great gift A mini waffle maker makes a cute gift. At such a reasonable price and compact size, it's the perfect stocking stuffer. You can add a personal touch by picking your gift recipient's favorite color from the array of bright and cheerful retro options. Will the Dash Mini be on sale for Black Friday and Cyber Monday? The Dash Mini is already on sale for Black Friday and Cyber Monday on Dash for $10 and is expected to last throughout the upcoming week. If you're looking for other affordable Black Friday deals, be sure to check out our roundup of the best Black Friday deals under $25 and the best Black Friday deals under $10 .

Details of the case : According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) AMMO lacked adequate internal controls over financial reporting; (2) there was a substantial likelihood AMMO failed to accurately disclose all executive officers, members of management, and potential related party transactions in fiscal years 2020 through 2023; (3) there was a substantial likelihood AMMO failed to properly characterize certain fees paid for investor relations and legal services as reductions of proceeds from capital raises rather than period expenses in fiscal years 2021 and 2022; (4) there was a substantial likelihood AMMO failed to appropriately value unrestricted stock awards to officers, directors, employees and others in fiscal years 2020 through 2022; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about AMMO's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers urge judge to toss his hush money conviction

Antonio Portales is keen to pledge his future to Dundee. The Mexican defender is and will be free to talk to other clubs about a pre-contract deal in the coming weeks. However, he hopes to extend his stay beyond two years. The 28-year-old joined the in the summer of 2023 alongside compatriot Diego Pineda. And there could be more Mexicans turning out in dark blue in the near future after . The here and now, though, has Portales and the Dark Blues in need of points. A poor run of two wins and nine defeats in the last nine matches brings Saturday’s evening clash with bottom side Hibs into sharp focus. “I think we had been playing well, but some mistakes changed the games,” Portales said. “Right now, we know about that. “We are working hard and we have been watching videos to help us improve our game. “The team looks strong, looks well. We have a very good chance to change the results in future games and to play better for our fans. “Everyone is working in their job to play better for the team, to be the best version of all Dundee.” Recent matches have seen Portales in the unaccustomed role of substitute, including the most recent at Aberdeen. That, though, has made the Mexican more determined to prove himself. “Yeah, it’s football,” he added. “I don’t like it. Any player doesn’t like to be on the bench, but it’s football. “The most important thing is the team. “I support my team-mates because when I’ve been in the XI, they support me. “It’s a team, it’s a family. “Of course, I work hard to play again in the XI and hopefully on Saturday I can do that. “Here for me it’s a dream to play in Scotland with Dundee in Europe because I’m from Mexico and it’s very hard to play in Europe. “For me it’s a dream and I will try to give my all for Dundee.” And he hopes that dream will continue into the next campaign. Asked about his expiring contract, Portales said: “Right now we have been talking with the club about an extension. “Yeah, hopefully we will do it. We’re talking about that.”ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Josh Norris broke a tie on a power play with 7:18 left, Leevi Merilainen made 30 saves in his fifth NHL game and the Ottawa Senators beat the Minnesota Wild 3-1 on Sunday night. Ottawa has won seven of its past nine games, while the Wild have lost five of their past seven. The Senators won in Minnesota for the first time since 2016. With starter Linus Ullmark and backup Anton Forsberg out with injuries, the Senators have been relying on Merilainen and Mads Sogaard since before the NHL holiday break. Frederick Gaudreau opened the scoring for Minnesota late in the first period. Ridly Greig tied it early in the second. Claude Giroux added an empty-netter. Senators: A team that finds itself surprisingly in a playoff position after missing the postseason the past six seasons topped a Western Conference contender in Minnesota. Norris has been a big part of the Senators' surge and now ranks second on the team with 14 goals. Wild: A lower-body injury kept Kirill Kaprizov out of his second straight game, but Joel Eriksson Ek returned after missing 11 games with a lower-body injury. The Wild are 17-5-4 with Eriksson Ek in the lineup and 5-6-0 without him. The Wild killed one penalty midway through the third, but Jared Spurgeon went to the box seconds later on a holding call. Norris scored on the power play. The Senators’ nine-game trip continues Thursday at Dallas night. The Wild host Nashville on Tuesday night. AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhl

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will bring a new series to Netflix in December, revealing the “grit behind the glamour” in the high-stakes world of polo. The five-part series will debut globally on December 10, following elite global players on and off the field as they compete in the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington , Florida. A trailer for the series titled Polo, executive produced by Harry and Meghan, was released on Thursday, giving a behind-the-scenes look at the “fast-paced and glamorous world of polo”. In a statement, Harry said: “This series offers audiences an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes look into the passion and determination driving some of the world’s elite polo players, revealing the grit behind the glamour. “We’re proud to showcase the true depth and spirit of the sport — and the intensity of its high-stakes moments.” It has been produced by the Sussexes’ Archewell Productions, having previously released three documentaries with Netflix as part of a multimillion-pound deal with the streaming giant. Heart Of Invictus, which aired last August, followed a group of service members on their road to the Invictus Games, the Paralympic-style sporting competition set up by Harry in 2014 for injured and sick military personnel and veterans. Netflix also released the documentary series Live To Lead and the controversial six-part Harry & Meghan documentary in December 2022. Harry and Meghan moved to the US in 2020 after stepping down from royal duties.
