Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she won't seek re-election. She has been in politics for nearly four decades representing her San Francisco-based district. Pelosi served as House Speaker from 2019 to 2023.        Flights at 40 airports across the country will be reduced by ten percent starting tomorrow according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. It's due to the ongoing government shutdown. The list of airports that will be impacted reportedly includes major travel hubs such as LAX, New York Laguardia, Chicago O'Hare and Phoenix Sky Harbor.        The death toll in Tuesday's UPS plane crash in Louisville now stands at 12. Governor Andy Beshear was at the crash site on Wednesday where efforts have shifted from a rescue to a recovery mission. The NTSB says ground video appears to show the left engine detaching from the wing just before the plane went down.        President Trump describes Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's victory speech "angry," especially towards him. The president added that he felt the New York City mayor-elect should be nice to him, because he's the one who has to approve a lot of things for the nation's largest city. At the American Business Forum in Miami on Wednesday, Trump said "we want New York to be successful," but suggested he'll take a wait-and-see approach on, in his words, "how a communist does in New York."        The Eastern U.S. will be hit with a blast of Arctic air this weekend, bringing a deep-freeze to millions. Temperatures are expected to fall from the Dakotas down to Florida, with forecasters saying it will feel more like January than November. That's about 10 to 15 degrees below average.        The next Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class will be inducted Saturday in Los Angeles. Joining the ranks are Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Soundgarden, and the White Stripes. In committee picks, Salt-N-Pepa and Warren Zevon will also be inducted.
