Today's Big Stories

1. Mayor Adams gets April 2025 trial date as his lawyers fight to get bribery charge tossed

Mayor Eric Adams returned to court today, sitting stoically as his lawyers fought to eliminate a key charge in the federal corruption indictment that threatens his political future.

The Democrat’s lawyers are fighting to throw out a bribery charge, one of five counts in a case that U.S. District Judge Dale E. Ho said will go to trial April 21, 2025.

2. Prosecutor tells jury that veteran showed 'indifference' to man he choked to death on subway

Prosecutors and defense lawyers agree on this about Marine veteran Daniel Penny's encounter last year with a distressed, angry man making ominous remarks on a New York subway: Penny didn't mean to kill him.

But as both sides gave opening statements today in Penny's manslaughter trial, a prosecutor told jurors today that Penny “went way too far” in trying to neutralize someone he saw as a threat and not as a person, while a defense attorney said Penny showed “courage" and put others' welfare ahead of his own when he placed Jordan Neely in a chokehold that ended with Neely limp on the floor.

3. Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade will feature Ariana Madix, T-Pain, 'Gabby’s Dollhouse' and pasta

A eclectic group of stars — including reality TV's Ariana Madix, Broadway belter Idina Menzel, hip-hop's T-Pain, members of the WNBA champions New York Liberty and country duo Dan + Shay — will feature in this year's Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Music performers The War and Treaty, Lea Salonga, Kylie Cantrall, The Temptations, Chlöe, Charli D’Amelio, Jimmy Fallon & The Roots, Coco Jones, Walker Hayes, Rachel Platten, Bishop Briggs, Joey McIntyre, Natti Natasha and ballet dancers Tiler Peck and Roman Mejia, are also slated to perform. The Associated Press got the list early.

4. The time change debate continues as we 'fall back' to standard time this weekend

It’s that time of the year when we set the clocks back one hour, returning us to standard time, reducing the amount of daylight in the evenings, but we gain an extra hour of sleep this weekend.

This brings up the conversation of why we need to do the switching of the clocks twice a year. Why not just stay on daylight saving time year round or standard time for the entire year? However, it’s not that easy. The path to accomplish this includes federal approval.

5. Harris, Trump head to the Midwest as campaign enters final weekend

The 2024 election may come down to the trio of Rust Belt battleground states that comprise the so-called "blue wall" – Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania – which helped make Donald Trump the president in 2016 and thwarted his chances of reelection in 2020 when Joe Biden flipped them back.

As the campaign for president enters its final weekend, both candidates and their running mates are descending on the two Midwestern "blue wall" states today, highlighting their importance to both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris' campaigns.

6. U.S. employers added just 12,000 jobs last month as hurricanes and strikes sharply reduce payrolls

America's employers added just 12,000 jobs in October, a total that economists say was held down by the effects of strikes and hurricanes that left many workers temporarily off payrolls. The report provided a somewhat blurry view of the job market at the end of a presidential race that has pivoted heavily on voters' feelings about the economy.

Last month's hiring gain was down significantly from the 223,000 jobs that were added in September. But economists have estimated that Hurricanes Helene and Milton, combined with strikes at Boeing and elsewhere, had the effect of pushing down net job growth by tens of thousands of jobs in October.
