who were injured at the Abbey Gate Bombing, during a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery on August 26, 2024 in Arlington, Virginia. An aide to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump "abruptly pushed aside" an Arlington National Cemetery employee who tried to ensure that Trump and his entourage adhered to federal laws and policies that "clearly prohibit political activities on cemetery grounds," a U.S. Army spokesperson said Thursday. The spokesperson said that participants in Trump's visit to Arlington and the visit to Section 60 graves were made aware of laws barring political activities on military cemetery grounds, such as Arlington. The Army called out the Trump camp's efforts to smear the cemetery employee in an unusually direct public statement. Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign, said the Arlington employee initiated the physical altercation.

Read previewA guaranteed basic income program in Arlington, Virginia that gave low-income residents $500 a month with no strings attached allowed them to find their footing, seek out education, and improve their job security, a final report found. Recipients said reducing their weekend and overtime hours helped them pursue education and certifications that could lead to higher-paying jobs. Arlington is not the first city to experiment with a guaranteed basic income program. Some lawmakers in Texas, however, oppose basic income programs. One state senator asked the state attorney general to declare a similar program in the Houston area unconstitutional.

REUTERS/Rebecca Cook/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNov 15 (Reuters) - General Motors' (GM.N) tentative labor deal with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union closed in on ratification as the votes were counted on Wednesday. This would mark the first ratification of a deal, which runs through April 2028, with one of the Detroit Three automakers. The Arlington plant, with about 5,000 UAW members, has the most of any GM plant. Only nine facilities are still listed without vote totals on the UAW vote tracker, including GM's Lockport, New York, components plant with about 1,200 members. Currently, about 66% of Ford workers who have voted are in favor of the UAW deal, and about 72% of Stellantis workers have so far voted in favor, according to UAW figures.

Political Cartoons View All 1199 ImagesTexas Motor Speedway lost the playoff race it has hosted since 2004 and its lone Cup race will be in the spring.
