An NBA gambling indictment suggests that leaked injury information about LeBron James was given to bettors. Earlier today, FBI Director Kash Patel announced charges involving an illegal gambling and sports betting scheme linked to current and former NBA players, coaches, and others. Miami Heat player Terry Rozier and former coach and player Damon Jones are accused of using inside information to make wagers on games.        At least half of U.S. states plan to cut off food assistance benefits November 1st due to the ongoing government shutdown. The loss of assistance would affect millions of low-income citizens. Some 25 states are sending out notices to people on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, that the checks won't be coming next month.        The deployment of federal agents to San Francisco is being called off. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said his administration was getting ready to "surge" San Francisco with agents to crackdown on crime and immigration, but friends in the area asked him to not move forward with it. They told him that Mayor Daniel Lurie is making progress in the city and Trump added he spoke to the Mayor last night, who asked him to give him a chance to "turn it around."        The man accused of starting the deadly Palisades Fire is set to be arraigned in downtown Los Angeles soon. Twenty-nine-year-old Jonathan Rinderknecht [[ RIN-der-neckt ]] was due in court this afternoon. Rinderknecht was arrested in Florida on October 7th and has since been extradited back to Los Angeles, where he remains behind bars.        President Trump says his administration is working to remove international drug cartels. During a roundtable event on crime at the White House, Trump said he was happy to sign executive orders targeting cartels and noted the recent destruction of narco-terrorist boats in the eastern Pacific.        Week eight of the NFL season kicks off later with Thursday Night Football.
