Donald Trump faces major backlash after his Madison Square Garden rally. American Airlines landed its longest-ever nonstop flight. And why are so many foods being recalled?

👋Hey, Monday! Laura Davis here. Let's get you caught up on the news.

That 'joke' about Puerto Rico

In a neck-and-neck presidential election, both former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are counting on Latino voters to help give them an edge. But after a comedian performing at Trump's closing campaign rally in Madison Square Garden derided the island as a "floating island of garbage," Puerto Ricans, including Grammy-winning artists Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin, have widely condemned the Republican presidential nominee. Puerto Rican voters living in the United States make up the second-largest Latino group in the country, including in key battleground states like Pennsylvania. The event also featured several other speakers who made racist and crude comments about Harris, Latinos in general, women and Black people. 👉 Breaking down the bipartisan backlash.

American Airlines' Longest. Flight. Ever.

The thought of it might make some people cringe: 16 hours on an airplane. But it was a history-making journey for American Airlines. Its direct flight departed from Dallas on Saturday night and, 8,300 miles later, landed at Australia Brisbane Airport − the longest flight by distance in American's global network. The inaugural nonstop connection between the two cities was staffed with a crew of three pilots, a relief captain and 11 flight attendants. 🛩️ More highlights from the flight.
