Tesla has recalled around 700,000 cars because of a problem with the tire pressure light. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced on Thursday that the electric vehicle manufacturer is recalling some 2024 Cybertrucks, 2017–2025 Model 3 cars, and 2020–2025 Model Y cars because the tire pressure monitoring system warning light might not stay on between drive cycles, failing to alert the driver to low tire pressure. Driving with incorrectly inflated tires increases the danger of a collision, according to the NHTSA's safety recall report, which was released on Tuesday. Approximately 694,000 automobiles are impacted by the recall. According to Tesla, a free over-the-air software update was released as a solution. On February 15, 2025, owner notification letters are anticipat...

The bodies of two adolescent girls were found seven years ago outside the small Indiana town of Delphi, close to a hiking route. For years, the case remained unresolved, and officials have not disclosed many details to the public regarding the reasons behind the suspected killings of Liberty German, 14, and Abigail Williams, 13, also known as Libby and Abby, by Richard Allen, a former drugstore employee. On November 11, Allen, 52, was found guilty of the deaths of the teenagers. On Friday, he was found guilty on four charges of felony murder—murder for intentionally killing Abigail, murder for knowingly killing Liberty, and felony murder for killing Abigail while attempting to kidnap her—and was sentenced to 130 years in prison. Allen's attorneys have maintained his innocence and asserted ...

Holiday travel may be affected, but holiday shipments will be unaffected if the government closes a few days before Christmas. Following President-elect Donald Trump's stifling of a bipartisan funding package on Wednesday, lawmakers were still frantically trying to come to an agreement by Friday morning that would prevent a government shutdown in the United States at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday. Under the Trump administration, there hasn't been a government shutdown since 2019. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the U.S. economy lost $3 billion as a result of that 35-day budget standoff. Watch live coverage of the government shutdown. If a new shutdown were to take place in the next few days, it would be difficult to predict how long it would last. However, major services would cont...

Millions of government workers would not be paid if the federal government shuts down this weekend, and activity at many agencies that need federal funding will either slow down or cease completely. However, Social Security payments would continue to be made. The shorter-term continuing-resolution measures that have kept the government running in recent years amid political stalemate in Washington do not pay Social Security, which is regarded as a necessary program. Watch live coverage of the government shutdown. Social Security benefits are paid to over 72.8 million people each month. Retirees receive the majority of such payments, but disabled individuals and the dependents of dead pensioners also receive them. Benefit checks will continue to be sent, but if SSA staff start to be furloug...

Nearly eight years after the bodies of two middle school girls were discovered next to a hiking trail, Richard Allen, an Indiana man convicted of their murder in 2017, was sentenced to 130 years in prison on Friday. Following a four-week trial, Allen, 52, was found guilty of murder in November for the deaths of Liberty German, 14, and Abigail Williams, 13. The murders of the girls, who were close friends, remained unexplained for years until their remains were discovered on February 14, 2017, adjacent to a hiking trail. Allen was taken into custody by Indianapolis State Police in October 2022. Following what the state police superintendent described as a "long-term and complex investigation," he was charged with murder. According to the prosecution, Allen met the girls on the Monon High Br...
