Nov. 23, 2025, 6:19 PM ESTBy Andrew GreifOn their way to a Super Bowl appearance last season, the Kansas City Chiefs could do no wrong in close games, posting an 12-0 record in games decided by one score or less. Yet they entered Week 12 of the NFL season just 5-5 and facing the possibility of having a losing record through 11 games for the first time since 2012 because the Chiefs were no longer the league’s best team in the clutch — 0-5 in one-score games.That changed, finally, Sunday against Indianapolis. Trailing by as many as 11 points with a minute left in the third quarter, the Chiefs scored the final 14 points to beat the Colts in overtime, 23-20. The win gives Kansas City (6-5) a 59 percent chance to make the postseason; a loss would have dropped that likelihood to 31 percent, according to NFL statistics.”This is exactly what we needed,” Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said. “…Everybody made plays when we needed it.”The narrow win would not have happened without a defensive turnaround. After allowing the Colts (8-3) to score four times on their first six drives, the Chiefs held them scoreless on their final four possessions, all four of which ended in three-and-out and produced just 13 yards combined.The circumstances suggested the defensive stand was unlikely. Though Kansas City ranked eighth-best this season in defensive points added, and sixth-best on EPA allowed on dropbacks in the fourth quarter and overtime, Indianapolis posed perhaps their most difficult offensive challenge of the season, and led the NFL in yards per game. Colts running back Jonathan Taylor entered the game leading the NFL in rushing yards, touchdown runs and total touchdowns. But Taylor finished with a season-low 66 yards from scrimmage. And Indianapolis went nowhere over the fourth quarter and overtime even though they weren’t affected by the issues that had cooled their hot start. Quarterback Daniel Jones committed three turnovers and was sacked nine times in his first eight games, but in his last three games had seven turnovers and 12 sacks. The Chiefs didn’t get a single turnover, or sack, but still held the Colts to 11 points lower than their NFL-leading season average.Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo “had a great plan defensively against one of the best offenses in the National Football League,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.Kansas City has made the playoffs 10 consecutive seasons, the second-longest streak in NFL history. Continuing it was in jeopardy with four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter when Kansas City got the ball back backed up only two yards from its own end zone. When quarterback Patrick Mahomes found Rashee Rice for a 47-yard gain, it increased the Chiefs’ probability of winning by more than 20 percent, per the NFL.”You could feel the energy of the defense, of the stadium, and it was kind of that, ‘We’re not going to lose this game,'” Mahomes said. “We’re going to find a way to win, even though not everything has gone our way to this moment, we’re going to find a way.”Andrew GreifAndrew Greif is a sports reporter for NBC News Digital.

Nov. 4, 2025, 9:24 PM EST / Updated Nov. 4, 2025, 10:57 PM ESTBy Bridget BowmanDemocratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill won the New Jersey governor’s race, NBC News projects, defeating Republican Jack Ciattarelli after a hard-fought contest in which President Donald Trump loomed over voters’ choice.Sherrill worked to make the race a referendum on the president, casting Ciattarelli as a Trump acolyte who will not stand up to the president.Follow election live updates here“He’ll do whatever Trump tells him to do, and I will fight anybody to work for you,” Sherrill said in their first debate in October.Trump made gains across the country in 2024, but his second-biggest gain in any state came in New Jersey. The president lost the state by 6 points last year, a 10-point improvement over his margin in the 2020 election. Now, Sherrill’s victory sends a signal that Republicans can’t expect those improved results from Trump to represent a straight line forward into future elections. Instead, the party is facing headwinds, as voters react to the president’s handling of the economy and other issues.Following Trump’s closer-than-expected finish in 2024, the New Jersey governor’s race drew more than $100 million in ad spending from both parties, according to AdImpact. The contest presented an early test, ahead of next year’s midterm elections, of how to appeal to swingy Latino voters and navigate rising costs, especially for electricity. Democrats also looked to energize their party’s core supporters, particularly Black voters, while Republicans confronted the persistent challenge of turning out Trump’s supporters when he is not on the ballot.A majority of New Jersey voters (54%) disapproved of Trump’s job as president and nearly two-thirds were dissatisfied or angry about the direction of the country, according to the NBC News exit poll. Full speech: Mikie Sherrill projected winner in New Jersey governor’s race10:57Trump was also a factor for a slim majority of New Jersey voters, with Sherrill winning virtually all of the 38% of voters who said their vote was to oppose Trump, while Ciattarelli won the 13% of voters who said their vote was to support Trump. Both Sherrill and Ciattarelli focused much of their campaign on the state’s high cost of living, and voters said taxes, the economy and health care were among the most important issues facing the state. While Ciattarelli won over voters who said taxes were the most important issue, Sherrill won over voters who said the economy and health care were most important. Sherrill, 53, sharply criticized Trump on the campaign trail, often saying that Trump administration’s policies were “raising costs on everything from a cup of coffee to your groceries,” pledging to join a lawsuit against Trump’s tariff policies on her first day in office.Ciattarelli, 63, largely praised Trump, who endorsed Ciattarelli in the GOP primary, but he also argued that the president did not have control over the state’s high cost of living and high taxes.Ciattarelli, meanwhile, sought to make the race a referendum on Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy — who could not run for re-election due to term limits — and the Democrats who control state government. Ciattarelli lost a surprisingly close 3-point race to Murphy in 2021.“New Jersey, we need change,” Ciattarelli said during his first debate against Sherrill, suggesting the state was facing four major crises in affordability, public education, public safety and overdevelopment.But it was not enough for Ciattarelli to pull off a win.While a slim majority of voters (51%) disapproved of Murphy’s job as governor, Sherrill won over 19% of them. And 45% approved of Murphy. Sherrill also won over voters Ciattarelli was hoping to put in his column, including independents. She handily won Latino voters, despite Trump’s gains in heavily Latino parts of the state last year. New Jersey also continued its historic trend of the party that controls the White House has losing eight of the state’s previous 10 gubernatorial races. Sherrill, meanwhile, bucked a different historic trend, helping her party win three consecutive gubernatorial elections for the first time since 1961.Sherrill’s climb to the governorship during Trump’s second term comes after she was first elected to Congress in the 2018 blue wave that followed Trump’s first presidential victory. In that race, when she flipped a longtime Republican House seat, Sherrill stressed her background as a Navy pilot, a former prosecutor and a mom of four kids, as she did in her campaign for governor.She won a hotly contested primary for the Democratic nomination this year, and many of Sherrill’s supporters backed her because they viewed her as most likely to win and most likely to take on Trump.Sherrill’s main focus on the campaign trail was on the state’s high cost of living. She pledged to declare a state of emergency on utility costs on her first day in office, freezing electricity rates and then working to bring down the costs.The four-term congresswoman also pledged to fight the Trump administration over federal funding for the Gateway Tunnel Project, a massive project to add rail tunnels between New York and New Jersey. Trump recently said he canceled funding for the project amid the federal government shutdown.Sherrill was also boosted in the race by Democratic allies, with outside groups spending more than $40 million on ads casting Ciattarelli as beholden to Trump and targeting Ciattarelli’s record in the state Legislature. Big-name Democratic surrogates, including some potential 2028 presidential contenders, also hit the campaign trail to support Sherrill, with former President Barack Obama rallying supporters over the weekend.Bridget BowmanBridget Bowman is a national political reporter for NBC News.

They’ve been incredible collaborators and I deeply respect their team,” Chastain said in a post on her Instagram account. “That said, I wanted to reach out and let you know that we’re not aligned on the decision to pause the release of The Savant.”The first two episodes of “The Savant” were scheduled to premiere Friday. But in a brief statement to Variety this week, an Apple TV+ spokesperson said the platform decided to postpone the show’s rollout after “careful consideration,” adding: “We appreciate your understanding and look forward to releasing the series at a future date.”Apple TV+ did not identify an exact reason for the show’s delay or specify the considerations it weighed. The decision came two weeks after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot at an event in Utah. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, a Republican, has said the suspect in Kirk’s killing was influenced by what he characterized as “leftist ideology.””The Savant” was adapted from a 2019 article published in the magazine Cosmopolitan titled “Is It Possible to Stop a Mass Shooting Before It Happens?” The miniseries stars Chastain as a woman who “infiltrates online hate groups in an effort to stop domestic extremists before they act,” according to Apple’s press materials.”In the last five years since we’ve been making the show,” Chastain said in her Instagram post, “we’ve seen an unfortunate amount of violence in the United States.” She listed examples of such violence, including the attempted kidnapping of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer; the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol; the two assassination attempts on President Donald Trump; the assassination of a Democratic lawmaker in Minnesota; and the fatal shooting of Kirk.”These incidents, though far from encompassing the full range of violence witnessed in the United States, illustrate a broader mindset that crosses the political spectrum and must be confronted,” Chastain said. “I’ve never shied away from difficult subjects, and while I wish this show wasn’t so relevant, unfortunately it is.””While I respect Apple’s decision to pause the release for now, I remain hopeful the show will reach audiences soon,” Chastain added.Spokespeople for Apple TV+ did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment on Chastain’s post.Apple postponed “The Savant” at an especially tense moment for American media companies as they navigate political pressure, regulatory scrutiny and a polarized viewing public.Disney, for example, became embroiled in a national firestorm over its decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show following criticism from Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr. Kimmel returned to ABC’s lineup Tuesday night, but two companies that own affiliate stations are still refusing to air his show.Apple CEO Tim Cook is also attempting to walk a fine line with the Trump administration. Apple has pledged to invest $600 billion in the U.S. over the next four years as it works to avoid tariffs on items used in iPhones and other key products.Chastain is best known for the movies “The Help,” “Zero Dark Thirty” and “Interstellar.” She won an Academy Award for best actress in 2022 for her title role in the biopic “The Eyes of Tammy Faye.”Daniel ArkinDaniel Arkin is a national reporter at NBC News.

Nov. 9, 2025, 2:55 PM ESTBy Alexandra MarquezThe U.S. Department of Agriculture said that states that issued full November SNAP benefits to recipients after a lower court decision allowed them to should “immediately undo” the distributions and that failure to comply could result in cancellation of future disbursement of federal funds. “To the extent States sent full SNAP payment files for November 2025, this was unauthorized. Accordingly, States must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025,” Patrick A. Penn, the Deputy Under Secretary Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services, wrote on Saturday regarding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.“Failure to comply with this memorandum may result in USDA taking various actions, including cancellation of the Federal share of State administrative costs and holding States liable for any overissuances that result from the noncompliance,” he wrote.The latest memo was a reversal of earlier guidance the USDA had issued before the Supreme Court again paused the distribution of full SNAP benefits on Friday, sending the case back to the appeals court.The Friday memo said that the relevant agencies in the Trump administration would “complete the processes necessary to make funds available to support your subsequent transmittal of full issuance files to your EBT processor.”Saturday’s memo comes amid a fast-moving legal battle over whether the federal government should continue to disburse SNAP benefits — also known as food stamps — to over 40 million Americans who usually receive them during the ongoing federal government shutdown.SNAP benefits were funded for October, the first month of the shutdown, but at the end of the month, the USDA posted a message on its website informing Americans that SNAP benefits wouldn’t be dispersed in November, telling them that “the well has run dry” and blaming Democrats for the lapse.Two separate lawsuits were filed in Rhode Island and Massachusetts ahead of Nov. 1 seeking to force the federal government to release the funds.In response to one of the lawsuits, the USDA allowed SNAP benefits to be partially released. Then, last week, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to pay SNAP benefits in full for November. States began to disburse the funds as quickly as possible last week. But on Friday, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to temporarily halt SNAP payments for November.The USDA guidance on Saturday did not explain to states how they should claw back funding that may have already gone out to SNAP recipients.On Sunday, Gov. Maura Healey, D-Mass., said that SNAP recipients in her state should continue to spend their funds and threatened to sue the Trump administration.”If President Trump wants to penalize states for preventing Americans from going hungry, we will see him in court. Massachusetts residents with funds on their cards should continue to spend it on food. These funds were processed in accordance with guidance we received from the Trump Administration and a lower court order, and they were processed before the Supreme Court order on Friday night,” Healey said in a statement.Gov. Tony Evers, D-Wis., in response to the USDA’s request to undo SNAP disbursements, simply said in a statement, “No.”“Our administration is actively in court fighting against the Trump Administration’s efforts to yank food assistance away from Wisconsin’s kids, families, and seniors, and we are eager for the court to resolve this issue,” he added.Alexandra MarquezAlexandra Marquez is a politics reporter for NBC News.Gary Grumbach contributed.

Savewith a NBCUniversal ProfileCreate your free profile or log in to save this articleBy Alexandra Marquez and Lindsey PipiaPresident Donald Trump on Saturday said that he was directing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to “provide all necessary Troops” to Portland.In a post on Truth Social, the president wrote that the troops would “protect War ravaged Portland” and protect ICE facilities that he claimed are “under siege from attack by Antifa and other domestic terrorists.”Trump added that he is “authorizing Full Force, if necessary,” but didn’t clarify what that meant.Over the last several days, the president has repeatedly spoken negatively about Portland, including saying on Thursday that “anarchy” is taking place in the West Coast city.”You go out to Portland, people die out there. Many people have died over the years in Portland. Portland is, I don’t know how anybody lives there. It’s amazing, but it’s, it’s anarchy out there. That’s what they want. They want anarchy,” Trump said during remarks in the Oval Office on Thursday.On Friday, in separate comments in the Oval Office, the president said people in Portland are “out of control.””Have you seen Portland at all? If you take a look what’s happening in Portland. It’s it has been going on for years. Just people out of control, crazy. We’re going to stop that very soon,” Trump said.Alexandra MarquezAlexandra Marquez is a politics reporter for NBC News.Lindsey PipiaLindsey Pipia is an Associate Producer for the 2024 Political Desk.
