Travelers are dealing with massive flight delays and cancellations across the country today as the FAA makes cuts at 40 big airports. Four-percent of flights will be cut today, and that percentage will increase every day until it hits ten-percent next week. Already today there have been more than 800 flights canceled and over one-thousand have been delayed.        The political world is reacting to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's decision to not run for reelection. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Pelosi will go down as the greatest speaker of all time. Meanwhile, President Trump called Pelosi an "evil woman" who cost the country a lot.        Another strike against a suspected drug boat in the Caribbean has been carried out by the U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the vessel was trafficking narcotics and was struck in international waters. Hegseth said no U.S. forces were harmed and three alleged narco-terrorists were killed.        Another vote on a measure to reopen the federal government will be held by the Senate today. Republican senators are expected to take a different approach and amend the House-passed legislation to add long-term appropriations bills as well as an extension on government funding beyond November 21st. GOP members hope to get more moderate Democrats on board to pass the measure, which needs 60 votes to be approved.        The number of dead in the Louisville UPS plane crash is up to 13. It comes as maintenance records show a crack in the jet's fuel tank needed a permanent repair. Nine people still remain missing as crews search the debris.        U.S. Marshals have brought former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown back to the U.S. to face attempted murder charges. He was arrested in Dubai. Brown is accused of opening fire outside a celebrity boxing event in Miami back in May.
