People watch as a wildfire burns and spreads on a mountain in West Milford, New Jersey, United States on November 9, 2024. Firefighters on both coasts were battling wildland blazes Monday after thousands of acres burned in New Jersey amid a historic drought and after strong winds last week sent a blaze howling through Ventura County, California. Ventura County Fire Capt. Forecasters were expecting a cold front to push into the region, raising humidity levels but also causing some gusts Monday night. Nearly 2,500 miles away, in New York and New Jersey, several blazes were burning in rugged terrain parched by drought.

☆ Northern Taurid meteor shower: Where and when to see the peak
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-11 | by ( Julianna Bragg | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

The second branch of the Taurid meteor showers, the Northern Taurid event, is about to take center stage. The Northern Taurids have been active since mid-October, but the shower will peak Monday night into Tuesday — with optimal visibility likely occurring after midnight — offering patient sky-gazers the best opportunity to view meteor activity, according to NASA. However, the moon will be about 79% full when the Northern Taurids peak this week, according to the American Meteor Society, which could make spotting meteors earlier in the evening more challenging. The Northern Taurids are visible until December 2, according to the American Meteor Society, so there is potential to spot more fireballs over the next few weeks. Here are peak dates for upcoming meteor showers, according to the American Meteor Society:Leonids: November 16-17Geminids: December 12-13Ursids: December 21-22Two full moons also remain — the beaver moon, which is a supermoon, on November 15 and the cold moon on December 15, according to the Farmers’ Almanac.

☆ Trump likely to pick Marco Rubio to serve as his secretary of state, sources say
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-11 | by ( Kaitlan Collins | Kristen Holmes | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

CNN —President-elect Donald Trump is likely to pick Florida Sen. Marco Rubio as his secretary of state, two people familiar with his thinking told CNN, as he rounds out his national security team in a second term. Given his deep foreign policy experience and that he sits on both the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Foreign Relations Committee, the State Department seemed like a good fit for Rubio. The Florida senator, a China hawk and finalist for Trump’s VP, was a constant on the campaign trail during Trump’s third presidential run. In 2016, Rubio and Trump’s relationship seemed it may be beyond repair when in the closing days of his campaign, Rubio publicly attacked Trump, saying he wasn’t going to “make America great. But since, Rubio and Trump’s relationship has not only thawed, it has strengthened.

CNN —It wasn’t just the Dallas Cowboys’ blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles that made headlines on Sunday. The sun caused a stir following the 34-6 loss to their divisional rivals to drop the team’s record to 3-6. Cowboys’ wide receiver Ceedee Lamb voiced support for curtains to be put up at the Cowboys’ home stadium - AT&T Stadium - to prevent sun glare from affecting play on the field. With the Cowboys down 7-3 In the second quarter, Lamb missed a potential three-yard touchdown pass from Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush. Jones, who is also the team’s general manager, was then asked why not put curtains up to stop the glare.

Golden is expected to coach the 21st-ranked Gators (2-0) in that one. Amato was fired without cause one year into a six-year contract, leaving the Gators on the hook for roughly $1.125 million.

Our NFL writers addressed these topics and more in making one prediction for every team heading into the season’s second half. The fourth-year back is on pace to finish with 1,256 yards, which would be the fourth-highest total in team history. Every other NFL team has put a player in at least one of those categories during that stretch — and most teams have checked both boxes. Minnesota has one of the most productive defenses in the NFL and an offense loaded at the skill positions. And the Eagles have managed to win games despite bad luck and bad decisions.

Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce defended his brother Jason Kelce's phone smashing incident last week, saying he was defending his family. Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce was caught on video smashing a person’s phone on the ground and appearing to say an anti-gay slur after the person used the slur to describe Travis Kelce in reference to his relationship with Taylor Swift. The brothers spoke on the ordeal and ensuing backlash on the Wednesday episode of their podcast, "New Heights," with Jason Kelce saying he regrets engaging with the person who taunted him at all. Jason Kelce previously addressed the incident on the "Monday Night Football" pregame show, saying he wasn't proud of his behavior. Travis Kelce consoled his brother on their podcast, saying, “I know that’s weighing on you brother.

In the top-of-the-ticket presidential race, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump entered the day virtually deadlocked in national polling and surveys of the pivotal battleground states. Senate Democrats and House Republicans were hoping to hang on to thin majorities amid fierce competition. Trump planned to gather family, friends and staff at Mar-a-Lago, his resort in West Palm Beach, Florida, to monitor returns. Along with the rest of the country, Trump and Harris must now await the judgment of voters in the seven swing states — Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada — to find out who is right. Senate Democrats are also playing defense in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada and Maryland.

As Election Day finally arrives, election officials, legal experts and researchers are bracing for a flood of disinformation and legal claims as vote counting begins. The final week of the campaign featured three dynamics that could lead to a protracted legal dispute if the results are close, legal experts said. Election experts say that if a clear winner emerges quickly and voting proceeds without major disruptions, large numbers of Americans may have faith in the results. A misleading advertisement from the Election Integrity Network says “The Glitch Is In” alongside a carousel of news coverage of such procedural Election Day issues. The Election Integrity Network’s founder, Cleta Mitchell, promotes her thousand-strong group as a kind of “national neighborhood watch.”Researchers also point to a new kind of infrastructure around documenting and sharing such rumors on Election Day.

Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and North Carolina ended up consuming the campaign’s most precious resources: time and money. Hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of ads blanketed the airwaves in the battlegrounds as Harris and Trump held large-scale, competing rallies. On the eve of the election, Harris and Trump raced to those swing states making their final pitches, each focusing heavily on Pennsylvania, the biggest electoral prize of those states. The Harris campaign, flush with money, has deployed a massive ground game in the battleground states that aims to deliver its voters to the polls. “President Donald J. Trump is going into Election Day stronger than he has in any previous election and if patriots across the country keep the momentum and turn out as expected on Election Day, we will be swearing in President Trump in January,” Tim Saler, a data consultant for Trump and the Republican National Committee, said in a statement.

Unionized Boeing workers on Monday voted to accept a contract proposal, ending a seven-week strike. AdvertisementBoeing union workers approved a labor contract proposal on Monday that will increase pay by 38% over four years and end a seven-week strike. This was after Boeing union leaders endorsed the offer on Thursday. The first was when over 30,000 union workers voted to strike after being displeased with the 25% pay increase they were originally offered. The company's second offer with a 30% pay increase was withdrawn after talks broke down.
