US voters flying home in time for election 
LONDON — When a cohort of bleary-eyed passengers arrived at London’s Heathrow Airport on a gloomy morning for a 7:25 am flight to New York, politics was the last thing on their mind.But after their transatlantic trip was delayed by 12 hours and they hunkered down for the long wait, the US citizens headed home inevitably turned their conversation to Tuesday's presidential election — one of the most consequential in their country's history.“It's just a weird space to be in, just being on edge all the time,” says 30-year-old Tiffany, a former middle school civics teacher on her way home to southern Florida. “We just want some sense of normalcy, so we're not just being looked at as the crazy country,” she complained.Tiffany is a committed Democrat who moved to...

America is a nation split between opposing visions of what's at stake
America braced as two stark visions collide on election day
By Sarah SmithWASHINGTON — America is choosing its path forward, and the stakes could not be higher.Both candidates have presented stark visions for the future if they lose this election. Donald Trump says the country will "go to hell" and become "communist immediately" if he loses, while Kamala Harris describes her opponent as a "fascist" who wants "unchecked power".Voters in the key battleground states have been bombarded by campaign ads, much of it designed to induce fear. Given this climate, it is no wonder surveyed Americans are reporting high levels of anxiety."I do believe they're making us live in fear just to get our vote," Heather Soucek told me in Wisconsin as election day loomed. She lives in a swing county in a swing...

Boeing strike ends as workers back 38% pay rise deal
SEATTLE — Boeing workers have voted to accept the aviation giant's latest pay offer, ending a damaging seven-week-long walkout.Under the new contract, they will get a 38% pay rise over the next four years.Striking workers can start returning to their jobs as early as Wednesday, or as late as 12 November, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) union says.The walkout by around 30,000 Boeing workers started on 13 September, leading to a dramatic slowdown at the plane maker's factories and deepening a crisis at the company.IAM said 59% of striking workers voted in favour of the new deal, which also includes a one-off $12,000 (£9,300) bonus, as well as changes to workers' retirement plans."Through this victory and the strike that made it...

Elon Musk has been aggressively campaigning for Republican White House candidate Donald Trump in swing states across the country
Elon Musk can keep giving $1m to voters, judge rules
WASHINGTON — Elon Musk's political group can keep awarding $1m (£722,000) to voters in swing states, a judge has ruled.The giveaway by Musk's America PAC is set to end on Tuesday, and the final recipient has already been determined, a lawyer for the billionaire said in a court hearing on Monday.In a surprising turn, the lawyer revealed that people receiving the money have not been chosen randomly in a lottery-style contest, as many believed, but were selected by the group.Philadelphia District Attorney Lawrence Krasner had sued to stop what he called an "an illegal lottery" after Musk announced he would give the money to one voter in a swing state each day until Election Day.Pennsylvania Judge Angelo Foglietta did not immediately give a reason for the ruling, made a...

Vistors are greeted by armed security and a metal detector
Drones and snipers on standby to protect Arizona vote-counters
MARICOPA, Arizona — The security at this center where workers count ballots mirrors what you might see at an airport— or even a prison. And, if needed, plans are in place to further bolster security to include drones, officers on horseback and police snipers on rooftops.Maricopa County became the center of election conspiracy theories during the 2020 presidential contest, after Donald Trump spread unfounded claims of voter fraud when he lost the state to Joe Biden by fewer than 11,000 votes.Falsehoods went viral, armed protesters flooded the building where ballots were being tallied and a flurry of lawsuits and audits aimed to challenge the results.The election’s aftermath transformed how officials here handle the typically mundane procedure of counting ballots and ushered in a new...

WASHINGTON — US Vice President Kamala Harris's election eve schedule includes four appearances in the state, ending with rallies in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia featuring a slate of celebrity guests, including Oprah Winfrey.Former President Donald Trump is also barnstorming the must-win state, holding two rallies in Pittsburgh and Reading.According to calculations by elections analyst Nate Silver, the candidate who wins Pennsylvania has more than a 90% chance of winning the White House.“It’s the granddaddy of all the swing states,” said former congressman Patrick Murphy, who represented north-eastern Pennsylvania as a Democrat from 2007-11.With its 19 electoral votes, Pennsylvania – the fifth most populous US state— is the lynchpin of the swing-state electoral firewalls for...

Trump says ‘war hawk’ Liz Cheney should be fired upon in escalation of violent rhetoric against opponents
PHOENIX — Donald Trump said former Rep. Liz Cheney is a “war hawk” who should be fired upon, as he raged against one of his most prominent intra-party critics while campaigning Thursday night in Arizona.“She’s a radical war hawk. Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK?” the former president said at a campaign event in Glendale with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. “Let’s see how she feels about it, you know, when the guns are trained on her face.”Trump also hurled insults at Cheney, once the third-ranking Republican in House leadership, calling her “very dumb,” a “stupid person” and “the moron.”Trump’s suggestion that Cheney be fired upon represents an escalation of the violent language he has used to target his...

Rapper Young Thug released from US jail after guilty plea on gang charges
WASHINGTON — US rapper Young Thug was released from jail Thursday evening after pleading guilty to gang, drug and gun charges, in a dramatic twist that ended the longest criminal trial in Georgia history.The 33-year-old Grammy winner, born Jeffery Lamar Williams, has spent more than 900 days behind bars since his arrest on racketeering and gang-related charges.In May 2022, prosecutors alleged the rap label he founded was a front for an organized crime syndicate responsible for "75 to 80% of violent crime" in Atlanta.He was sentenced on Thursday to time served and 15 years of probation, and jail records show he was released later that night."I take full responsibility for my crimes, for my charges," Williams told the court."To really everybody that has got...
