(CNN) — Embattled GOP Rep. George Santos has so far remained defiant in the face of a renewed effort to expel him from Congress after a damning House Ethics Committee investigation into the New York congressman.Santos has said repeatedly that he will not resign and will face an upcoming expulsion vote, which is on track to take place Friday. The congressman has announced plans for what he has billed as a news conference Thursday morning as the vote looms.Santos has survived previous attempts to remove him from the House, but momentum is building for the latest effort after the release of a scathing report from the House Ethics Committee earlier this month, which concluded that he “sought to fraudulently exploit every aspect of his House candidacy for his own personal financial profit.”Santos announced that he would not seek reelection following the release of the ethics report, but he denounced the congressional inve...Frenetic hurricane season comes to an end and gives experts a glimpse into next year’s potential

(CNN) — The 2023 Atlantic hurricane season ends on Thursday as one of the busiest on record, with a twist: Most of its storms veered into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.But with El Niño expected to end next year and global temperatures on the rise, forecasters say there’s “high potential” for an even more active hurricane season in 2024 and uncertainty around what that could mean for the United States.Record-high ocean temperatures this season ushered in above-average tropical activity and neutralized the effectiveness of a strengthening El Niño, which typically inhibits storm development in the Atlantic by ripping them apart with hostile upper level winds.By season’s end, 20 named storms, including seven hurricanes, came to life. Fortunately, only a fraction of these storms unleashed their fury on land.Three Atlantic storms made landfall in the US: Harold, Idalia and Ophelia. Idalia was the only hurricane to hit the US this year when it sla...Sebastian Stan to star in new film ‘The Apprentice’ reportedly about Donald Trump

With the best record and scoring margin in the AFC and a 1 1/2-game lead in their division, the Ravens have aced their season to this point. And that’s with three maddening collapses built into their resume.But general manager Eric DeCosta and coach John Harbaugh did not assemble and hone this roster with the goal of looking good on the first weekend of December. The next two months will define them and especially quarterback Lamar Jackson, who has yet to come close to a Super Bowl in six otherwise dazzling seasons.With that in mind, what do we still need to know about the 2023 Ravens, who have already answered many of the questions we posed heading into the season? What flaws could be exploited, what traps set, to keep them from reaching their lofty goals?
