White House pressuring Republicans not to vote on releasing Epstein files

Top Trump administration officials have met with a key GOP lawmaker about an effort in the US House to force a vote on releasing Justice Department case files related to Jeffrey Epstein, according to multiple sources familiar with the meeting. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt acknowledged the meeting later Wednesday when asked about reporting that administration officials were huddling with GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert. "Doesn't that show the level of transparency when we are willing to sit down with members of Congress and address their concerns?" she told reporters at the press briefing. In spite of their reputations as Trump acolytes, Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene said they will vote to release the Epstein files. (AP) Leavitt added: "I'm not go...

US Supreme Court considers overturning same-sex marriage ruling

A call to overturn the landmark US Supreme Court decision legalising same-sex marriage America-wide is on the agenda for the justices' closed-door conference. Among the new cases the justices are expected to consider is a longshot appeal from Kim Davis, the former Kentucky court clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples following the court’s 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges. Davis had been trying to get the court to overturn a lower court order for her to pay $554,000 in damages and attorney’s fees to a couple whom she denied a marriage licence. Kim Davis refused to issue marriage licences to same-sex couples. (AP) The justices could say as early as Monday what they'll do. In urging the court to take up her case, Davis' lawyers repeate...

Trump is ramping up a new effort to convince a skeptical public he can fix affordability worries

US President Donald Trump is adjusting his messaging strategy to win over voters who are worried about the cost of living with plans to emphasise new tax breaks and show progress on fighting inflation. The messaging is centered around affordability, and the push comes after inflation emerged as a major vulnerability for Trump and Republicans in Tuesday's elections, in which voters overwhelmingly said the economy was their biggest concern. Democrats took advantage of concerns about affordability to run up huge margins in the New Jersey and Virginia governor races, flipping what had been a strength for Trump in the 2024 presidential election into a vulnerability going into next year's midterm elections.

Thousands of flights to be cut across US amid government shutdown

America's busiest airports, including those in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, were set to face thousands of flight cuts starting on Friday due to the government shutdown, according to a list distributed to the airlines and obtained by The Associated Press. The Federal Aviation Administration's order to reduce air traffic at 40 of the busiest airports by 10 per cent across the US includes the popular gateways of Hawaii and Dallas for Australians flying to North America. With just hours to go, airlines were scrambling to figure out where to cut, and travellers were waiting nervously to see if their flights would take off as scheduled.

Suspects charged in alleged terror plot cited ISIS and may have tried to replicate Paris terror attack on US soil, FBI says

Two men face federal charges for allegedly plotting an ISIS-inspired Halloween attack in the US – possibly on the scale of the 2015 Paris terror attacks that killed at least 130 people, authorities say. An FBI raid on Halloween morning stunned neighbors in Dearborn, the second-safest city in Michigan and home to the highest concentration of Arab Americans in the US. Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud face charges of "receiving and transferring, and attempting and conspiring to transfer, firearms and ammunition knowing and having reasonable cause to believe that the firearms and ammunition would be used to commit a Federal crime of terrorism," according to a criminal complaint.

New US poll deals major blow to Donald Trump

More Americans than ever before disapprove of US President Donald Trump's actions in office, according to a major new poll in the US. The fall of 2025 is not a replay of 2017, the year before the Democrats captured control of the US House in Trump's first term. The Democrats' five-point advantage among registered voters in the generic congressional ballot falls short of the 11-point edge they held in CNN polling a year before the 2018 midterms. President Donald Trump waves as he boards Air Force One at Palm Beach International Airport. (AP) And favourable views of the party still stand near all-time lows as they have throughout this year, eight points below where they were in the fall of Trump's first year in office. In a mid-term election year, though, views o...
