TSA says PreCheck still operational after previous announcement of suspension during funding fight
A major city announced a sweeping reform plan aimed at reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality, pledging investment in public transit and bike infrastructure. The plan includes phased tolls on certain roadways, expanded bus rapid transit routes, and subsidies for electric vehicles, with officials citing long-term health and economic benefits.
In a parallel development, authorities reported a rare winter storm approaching the region, prompting schools to preemptively shift to remote learning and municipalities to deploy emergency weather routes and salt trucks. Meteorologists warned residents to prepare for heavy snowfall, icy streets, and possible power outages.
Meanwhile, a government watchdog unveiled preliminary findings on a cybersecurity incident that disrupted healthcare networks last month. The report highlights gaps in vendor management and incident response readiness, and urges hospitals to bolster encryption, backups, and staff training as cyber threats rise.
