U.S. car maker wins 2025 sales race with 2.8 million vehicles sold
Car buying patterns in 2025 have been all over the place as consumers and the industry have adjusted to the automotive tariffs that dominated the conversation this year.
While the U.S. eventually got tariff burdens down to 15% for most of its trade partners, for much of the year, importers were paying 25% on autos and auto parts.
While carmakers made it clear that they would not raise prices in response to the tariffs, the threat of increased prices caused consumers to flock to car dealerships.

Even as Russia once again made clear this week that it had no intention of pursuing genuine peace negotiations on Ukraine, Vladimir Putin landed in New Delhi to a red carpet treatment. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted the Russian leader on Thursday with a handshake and hug on the tarmac, breaking diplomatic protocol. The sight was a reminder that Russia is far from a geopolitical pariah in important parts of the world, and

NASA warns satellite boom could ruin 96% of telescope images
A new NASA-led study shows that the increasing number of satellites in low-Earth orbit could ruin up to 96% of images from some orbiting telescopes and **** e observatories.
“The urgency starts in the moment we’re seeing a very rapid increase in the number of satellite constellations, in particular, not the satellites that have been launched, but in the satellites that are being proposed,” Dr. Alejandro Serrano Borlaff, research scientist at NASA Ames Research Center and co-author of the study, told ABC News. “Before these satell

Ethereum traders are positioning with more optimism than their Bitcoin counterparts, options data shows.
Despite a broadly cautious investor stance, the divergence suggests that traders see less immediate downside risk for the second-largest crypto by market cap than for Bitcoin.
That outlook aligns with recent spot price performance.

A triple whammy polar vortex is coming. Will your state feel the chill?
The polar vortex is on the move and will take up a position near Hudson Bay, Canada, directing rounds of Arctic air southward from the North Pole to parts of the central and eastern United States through the middle of the month. The waves of Arctic air will trigger rounds of flurries and squalls in some areas and may help fuel storms with more widespread snow.
The Arctic air is expected to deliver subzero temperatures from the Dakotas and Minnesota to Iowa and Nebraska, and by far the lowest temperatures of the season

Instead of stopping to smell the flowers, scientists suggest stopping to smell your farts.
While the thought may be enough to make your stomach turn, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say the gas behind the foul, rotten-egg-smelling stench, known as hydrogen sulfide, can help protect aging brain cells from Alzheimer’s disease.
While the smelly gas is highly toxic in large quantities, smaller doses may provide some serious health benefits, Johns Hopkins researchers noted in a study published in an issue of the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science.

Bomb cyclone to bring 1st widespread snow to parts of Northeast
A new, quick-hitting winter storm is piling onto travel woes and shoveling duties Monday in parts of the central US that were buried over the weekend, but its next chapter could be its most notable.

Powerful coast-to-coast storm to bring major impacts from heavy snow to ice
Closely following a major winter storm that unleashed travel chaos during the busy Thanksgiving holiday weekend, meteorological winter is set to kick off this week with a powerful coast-to-coast storm delivering a wide range of impacts.
The cross-country storm starts Sunday in the Rockies and tracks through Wednesday into the Northeast, likely posing threats of snow, ice and rain to airports, roadways and communities along its path.

When did kissing originate? Scholars make educated guess
(NewsNation) — Researchers have made an educated guess about when kissing began, dating the practice at somewhere between 17 million and 21.5 million years ago.
But by kissing, scientists don’t mean the type of lip-locking that humans engage in, often to show affection. Rather, they zeroed in on “non-agonistic interaction involving directed, intraspecific, oral-oral contact with some movement of the lips/mouthparts and no food transfer.”

The Bitcoin price in December is now a key focus, given that the market ended November on a weak note. Bitcoin dropped more than 17% this month, breaking its usual November trend and raising questions about whether the recent $80,000 bounce was the real bottom.
December has a mixed history for Bitcoin, and early data for this year shows some caution in both spot flows and on-chain signals. This ******* ysis examines three key areas: seasonal performance, ETF flows, and insights from on-chain and price charts regarding the upcoming month.

The boom in metal-intensive technologies like data centers and electric vehicles has made it a prime time to be in the US aluminum business.
Prices are booming. Part of that is because inside every data center are cooling units, server racks, radiators, and a litany of other pieces and parts made out of aluminum.
No wonder demand is high.
But data centers guzzle enormous amounts of power, and electricity prices are skyrocketing. In the US alone, electricity demand is expected to grow five to 10 times faster over the next 10 years than it did in the previous decade, per Bank of America.

Ukraine's deep-strike drone campaign targeting Russia's oil and gas production facilities has already cost its enemy 10 percent of its refining capacity, according to industry experts -- and Kyiv is committed to stepping things up.
"Ten percent, it's not an astonishing number," says Tatiana Mitrova of Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy. "But it is still something that starts to be felt with the Russian domestic fuel crisis, with reduced oil refined products exports, and general tension inside the Russian oil sector."

Trump plans to open California and Florida coasts to oil drilling for 1st time in decades
The Trump administration is proposing to open federal waters off the entire coastline of California to drilling, as well as an area off the coast of Florida. Neither state’s waters have been open to new drilling for decades.
President Donald Trump’s Interior Department released a five-year offshore drilling plan on Thursday that would open up vast parts of California’s coastline to drilling, which hasn’t happened in that state since the late 1960s. The Department is also proposing new oil drilling in

The polar vortex is forecast to change early: What that means for the winter ahead
The polar vortex is forecast to weaken unusually early, and that could lead to more persistent cold weather in at least parts of the U.S. in December.
Last week, almost 100 daily record lows were tied or broken in the East and South, including some "coldest so early in season" record ties. That cold retreated quickly from most areas.
But there are hints in the atmosphere that the cold may take over, for at least a while.

DeSantis's makeover of 'left-wing' Florida college has high-cost consequences
Nearly three years ago, as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis championed his culture war policies during the run-up to a bid for the White House, he vowed to overhaul a small, quirky liberal arts college in Sarasota that was part of the state education system.
New College of Florida was “more into DEI, CRT, the gender ideology,” the Republican governor said, using abbreviations for diversity, equity and inclusion and for critical race theory. He added: “We’re going to be able to offer some reforms.”
