The US Supreme Court is hearing a case on mail-in voting, considering a Mississippi law allowing mail ballots to be counted up to five days after Election Day if they arrive after the election, which could potentially disrupt election processes overseas. Two people were killed when an Air Canada plane collided with a fire truck at LaGuardia Airport, killing the pilot and co-pilot, and injuring 42 others. The collision occurred shortly after President Donald Trump threatened to "obliterate" Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical trade route, and Iran has vowed to escalate strikes on U.S. and Israeli infrastructure in the region if the U.K. and Iran not open the Strait Hormz.
