President Trump is reacting to Democrat Zohran Mamdani being elected the next mayor of New York City. Trump called Mamdani's speech "angry" especially towards him. He added that he felt Mamdani should be nice to him, because Trump has to approve a lot of things coming to him.        Federal officials are announcing a cutback in the number of flights in U.S. airspace starting Friday morning. It's a result of staffing shortages during the federal government shutdown. FAA administrator Bryan Bedford announced Wednesday the agency will reduce air traffic by ten percent at 40 high-volume airports if there's no deal to end the shutdown.        At least 11 people are dead and nearly a dozen are hurt following the UPS plane crash in Louisville last night. That's the update from Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear who was at the crash site today. Beshear says there could be more deaths announced soon as the operation has moved from a rescue to a recovery mission.        A new ADP report is providing some hope that the labor market isn't in danger of sinking. The report found that private companies added 42-thousand jobs in October, following a decline of 29-thousand in September and topping the Dow Jones consensus estimate for a gain of 22-thousand. According to the report, all of the job creation came from companies employing at least 250 workers, with that category adding 76-thousand jobs.        McDonald's is seeing a boost in sales after bringing back some of its fan favorite items. Same-store sales reportedly increased by three-point-six-percent for the July to September period after the Snack Wrap officially returned to U.S. menus, and sales slightly outperformed the three-point-five-percent forecast. The data company Placer.ai also reported that traffic to McDonald's was 15-percent higher than average on the day Snack Wraps officially returned to the menu.        A Thursday Night Football matchup between AFC West rivals kick off Week 10 of the NFL regular season. The division-leading Broncos battle the Raiders from Denver. Meanwhile, an international game is back on the slate for Sunday when the Falcons and Colts square off from Berlin.
