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.

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.

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. | American Airlines' longest direct flight in its history landed on Monday morning in Brisbane, Australia, after taking off from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on Saturday evening.
