Rewatching my fall fave, "Gilmore Girls," as a parent feels less nostalgic and more painful. AdvertisementI found "Gilmore Girls" my first year of high school, and I'd never felt more seen. "Gilmore Girls" felt fun and fresh. When "Gilmore Girls" initially ran, I knew nothing about relationships, especially healthy ones. My daughters and I won't be cozying up on the couch to rewatch "Gilmore Girls" every fall, and that's OK. Maybe we'll find a new comfort show to enjoy together.

Two US Navy SEALs drowned during a January raid on a vessel smuggling weapons to the Houthis. A new investigation outlines a string of failures that led to that fatal outcome. AdvertisementTwo US Navy SEALs drowned during a raid to intercept smuggled weapons off the coast of Somalia earlier this year. An investigation found that their deaths were preventable and were ultimately caused by a string of failures in the lead-up to the dangerous mission. Their names were redacted in the investigation, but the Navy has already identified them as the two SEALs who died.

CNN —The drownings of two Navy SEALs during a maritime intercept off the coast of Somalia were preventable, caused by a lack of proper training and unclear guidance on effective flotation, a Navy investigation found. Loaded with gear for the intercept mission, the two Navy SEALs went under in less than a minute. “The entire tragic event elapsed in just forty-seven (47) seconds, and two [Naval Special Warfare] officers were lost to the sea,” the investigation found. Naval Special Warfare SEAL Team Three deployed on board the USS Lewis B. Puller in December 2023. The Navy highlights the need for “positive buoyancy” – the ability to stay afloat – for boarding team members.

Ethel Kennedy, who lost her husband, Robert F. Kennedy, and brother-in-law, President John F. Kennedy, to assassins' bullets, and who channeled her grief into raising her 11 children and lifetime of public service, died Thursday. At the time, he was dating her older sister, Patricia, according to an official biography at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. Meanwhile, Robert F. Kennedy's public profile was on the rise as chief counsel to the Senate Select Committee. Following JFK's assassination, Robert F. Kennedy ran successfully for the United States Senate from New York.

Less than a fifth of large companies in the United States include coverage for the popular but pricey weight loss drugs Wegovy and Zepbound in their health insurance plans, according to a survey published Wednesday in Health Affairs. “They’re trying to figure out what is the right balance between the advantages to employees, potential health benefits and the cost of these drugs. The survey found that about half of employers that cover the weight loss drugs have certain requirements associated with their coverage, which Rae said would limit access for some employees but save money. Among large firms that don’t currently cover GLP-1 drugs for weight loss, only about 3% said they’re “very likely” to do so in the next year. Despite the exorbitant cost, employers do have a positive view of the drugs.

“Yes, we have the resources that we need, both for the Helene response and for Hurricane Milton,” Keith Turi, FEMA’s acting associate administrator, said this week. Staffing at the federal disaster response agency has drawn criticism in recent years from the Government Accountability Office, a federal watchdog. In that same report, the GAO found that as of July 2022, FEMA was involved in responding to 500 open disasters. NBC News reported last week that FEMA put out a call for volunteers for a “surge force” in mid-September, citing a “severe shortfall” in some of its disaster response teams. In an interview, FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said the numbers cited fail to take into account other full-time staff members who are deployed as needed.

CNN —The Justice Department announced charges Tuesday against an Afghan national who was allegedly plotting a terrorist attack in support of ISIS on Election Day in the United States. The juvenile has also been arrested, according to court documents. The indictment comes as the Justice Department has publicly – and repeatedly – said its focus is on protecting the November presidential election from foreign threats. Tawhedi’s alleged plot, which prosecutors say was aimed at targeting “large gatherings of people,” was foiled less than a month before voters head to the polls. They also cited a video found on the phone that prosecutors say showed the 27-year-old telling his child about the rewards a martyr receives in the afterlife.

McCallum’s speech comes amid a string of Western warnings about the increasing risk of state-sponsored sabotage by nations including Russia and Iran, and as wars in Ukraine and the Middle East rock global security. “We are powerfully alive to the risk that events in the Middle East directly trigger terrorist action in the UK,” he said. And al Qaeda “has sought to capitalise on conflict in the Middle East, calling for violent action.”“After a few years of being pinned well back, they’ve resumed efforts to export terrorism,” he said. The UK has joined allies including the US in loudly publicizing allegations of Russian sabotage since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. A third drew up plans to stab people at a music festival and shared terrorist propaganda online,” McCallum said.

White-collar criminals who can't disconnect are spending thousands of dollars on prison cellphones. Contraband phones go for $1,000 or as little as a few hundred dollars, depending on supply, at minimum-security camps, the so-called Club Feds. The stakes are particularly high for Wilson; his office continues to prosecute a violent, 90-defendant drug ring run by imprisoned people using contraband cellphones. The bureau urges Congress to pass the Lieutenant Osvaldo Albarati Stopping Prison Contraband Act, which would upgrade the charge of smuggling contraband cellphones into a Federal prison from a misdemeanor offense to a felony, Murphy said. White-collar criminals tend to put their contraband phones to more benign uses.

The trader is suing RBC and Grant Thornton, claiming he received "inadequate advice" that led to huge losses. AdvertisementA trader from Vancouver Island, Canada, minted a fortune betting on Tesla stock before losing everything, according to a lawsuit filed against RBC and tax advisory firm Grant Thornton LLP last week. But when Tesla stock plunged in 2022, DeVocht was forced to sell Tesla stock at depressed prices to pay back those margin loans. RBC and Grant Thornton LLP told media outlets that they do not comment on active lawsuits before the courts.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is running out of staff to deal with the potential devastation of Hurricane Milton as it barreled toward Tampa with wind speeds that reached 175 miles per hour. As of Monday morning, just 9 percent of FEMA’s personnel, or 1,217 people, were available to respond to the hurricane or other disasters, according to the agency’s daily operations briefing. To put that into context: Over the previous five years, one-quarter of the agency’s staff was available for deployment at this point in the hurricane season. The agency said Monday afternoon that it is well equipped to handle the strains. “FEMA is built for this,” said Leiloni Stainsby, the agency’s deputy associate administrator for response and recovery.

CNN —Pope Francis has chosen 21 new cardinals in a move that once again shows his determination to reshape the group of churchmen who will elect his successor. Also among the new cardinals announced by the pope on Sunday are bishops from Indonesia, Algeria, Japan and the Ivory Coast. At the time of the pope’s announcement, there were 122 cardinals under 80 and able to vote in a future conclave. Church law technically limits the number of such cardinals to 120, but previous popes have also gone over that number. Cardinals are second only to the pope in the church hierarchy, hold senior positions in the Vatican and act as the pope’s main advisers.

The Chinese hacking team in question is known in the cybersecurity industry as Salt Typhoon. FBI Director Christopher Wray has said that Chinese government-backed hackers outnumber FBI cyber personnel 50 to 1.

Still, it's no easy task — power imbalances and relationship drama are among the factors that could affect office culture. Sheekey added, "These types of relationships can often lead to complaints from other employees about favoritism and unfair treatment in the workplace." Now, they're getting to know their coworkers better as their bosses implement return-to-office policies, which could lead to romance. So, while an office crush might not be harmful, it's wise to approach it carefully to avoid drama worthy of the big screen.

Colorectal cancer cases have been rising in people younger than 50 over the last two decades. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force isn’t the first group to suggest lowering the screening age. The new study found that colorectal cancer screening among 45 to 49-year-olds remains low overall, but increased threefold following the 2021 guideline change. “One of the biggest predictors of whether you get age-appropriate cancer screening is whether or not you have insurance,” Lieu said. Colonoscopy is the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening, since it can detect not only cancerous tumors, but precancerous polyps that can be removed before they can turn into cancer.
