World's Oldest Shipwreck Archaeologists say they have discovered the world's oldest known shipwreck off the southern coast of modern-day Turkey, dating to between 4,400 and 4,700 years ago. The ship's wooden structure is gone, but dozens of ceramic vessels and stone anchors scattered around the site suggest it dates to around the same time as the Great Pyramid of Giza. Researchers believe the ship was nearly 33 feet long and sank while carrying cargo to Troy or Crete. It is one of roughly 420 significant wrecks found along the coast of southern Turkey over the last 15 years, underscoring the region's importance to maritime trade (see map). Several of the vessels appear to have carried wine and olive oil, with some still containing residue despite having been between 65 and 78 feet underwater for over four millennia (see images). The Dokos shipwreck, found in the Aegean Sea and dating to about 4,200 years ago, was previously considered the world’s oldest shipwreck. Learn about it and eight other ancient wrecks here (w/video).

Inflation Rise Continues US prices rose 3.7% last month from September 2025, the latest Consumer Price Index report revealed yesterday. The report is the last of its kind before the November midterm elections, with polls showing the economy is voters’ top issue. Cost bumps were spread across most categories, including housing, clothing, and restaurant food, though groceries saw prices decline since August. The war in Iran has fueled cost increases, as oil prices climbed to over $106 per barrel since August (see the latest prices in your state). The cost of diesel—which powers farms and the shipping industry, among other industries—has increased 70% since the start of the war; see past write-up here. The 3.7% rate was higher than analysts had expected and above the Federal Reserve’s target goal of 2%. The bank has signaled at least one more interest rate hike may come this year, with the next Fed meeting scheduled for Oct. 27-28, days before Election Day. Stocks dropped on yesterday’s news (S&P 500 -1.1%, Dow -0.1%, Nasdaq -1.9%).

🤺 3-way fight Speaker Mike Johnson's sudden frank talk about his political future is upending the quiet maneuvering ahead of a post-election GOP leadership contest. Why it matters: The race could become a three-way fight if Johnson follows former Speaker Nancy Pelosi's lead and tries to stay in leadership if Republicans lose the majority. Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) has widely been viewed as a top contender for the job — and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) did not seek a waiver to remain Judiciary chair, fueling speculation that he's preparing to run for leader. Many Republicans privately worry they're going to lose and expected Johnson to step aside if the majority slips away. But his new blunt and unexpected musings on his own future challenge that assumption. Driving the news: "In the unlikely scenario where we lost the majority, I would expect my colleagues would ask me to continue leading this conference, even if we have divided government," Johnson told CBS News. But some members aren't buying it: "Why would you want to be minority leader after speaker?" one House Republican told us, adding they would support new leadership. One leader not taking the bait is Scalise: "There are no races that any of us need to be talking about until after the election's over," he told us during an in-flight interview while campaigning out West. Scalise acknowledged Johnson's comments: "I think early on he said he wasn't going to play in hypotheticals, and you know, and he might have gone down that path for a minute. We're focused on holding the House, and that's where my energy is." Between the lines: A bad enough defeat could spark calls for an entirely new leadership team, three House Republicans told us. But Johnson has his defenders: "Johnson has done everything humanly possible to keep us in the majority," one House Republican told us. Zoom in: Some GOP sources believe a three-way contest could split support between Johnson and Scalise, potentially benefiting Jordan. Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) intends to stay in his current role and has no plans to move up the leadership ladder, he told us last month. Emmer staying put means three candidates would compete for one job, minority leader, without a clear fallback for the two losers beyond challenging Emmer. Becoming party leader requires only a majority vote by secret ballot, rather than a public vote on the House floor. The bottom line: The jockeying frustrates some Republicans who argue they should focus only on winning in November. "How sad we have members bidding for MINORITY leadership positions," one House Republican told us in a text. — Kate Santaliz

Guil-Foiled View in browser After half-heartedly including some actual professionals in his first administration, Donald Trump is now served almost exclusively by sycophants and family members. The president has made clear that he cares about loyalty more than qualifications, but the astonishing incompetence and corruption of many of his appointees raises an obvious question: What does it take to get fired by Trump’s White House? Kimberly Guilfoyle’s resignation yesterday as ambassador to Greece provides some clues. Guilfoyle has been accused of blatant corruption both before and during her time as an envoy. She denies these allegations, but her resignation—which the White House requested—isn’t really about corruption. The idea that Guilfoyle, and only Guilfoyle, crossed some sort of previously unseen corruption red line is laughable. If ethical and legal questions, including the now-moribund standard of “appearances of impropriety,” were grounds for dismissal in this administration, Trump would have already shed several other members of his team. Rather, Guilfoyle was pushed out because she was an embarrassment. She overstepped her bounds, tried to trade on the president’s name, and then made the administration look bad when she got caught. Also, she is a woman, and in this administration, self-dealing is mostly a man’s game. Indeed, by comparison with the charges leveled at others—including against the president himself, who seems utterly unconcerned with notions such as “emoluments”—Guilfoyle is decidedly a small-timer. This past spring, for example, the Financial Times reported that a broker for Pete Hegseth attempted to make a big investment in defense industries just before the Iran war, raising suspicions of insider trading. FBI Director Kash Patel has been accused of using government money as a slush fund to pay improper bonuses to his favorites within the Bureau. “Border Czar” Tom Homan was caught on audio in 2024 accepting $50,000 in cash (wrapped in a Cava food bag, always the sign of a deal on the up-and-up) from undercover FBI agents posing as business executives, and yet he remains in his job. Hegseth and Homan deny any wrongdoing; Patel and the FBI have offered no comment or explanation. And the journalist Dexter Filkins recently described Trump’s son-in-law and roving minister-without-portfolio Jared Kushner as representative of “a new kind of Washington figure, for whom public office serves as a means to extraordinary wealth.” Guilfoyle may have been a relative piker among giants in the grift game, but her real sin was the pathetic and humiliating nature of her behavior. (Even Homan managed not to seem quite so grubby when reportedly accepting a bag of greenbacks.) Her messages to a Trump donor asking for money to help pay her huge credit-card bills are cringe-inducing. “Honey please I need you to get this done for me today,” she wrote to the Trump supporter Eric Deters when asking him to wire a cool $100,000 directly into her American Express account in July 2025, just before her confirmation hearings. Worse, she continually told Deters to stop writing things down and just contact her on Signal. “What a nightmare you’ll literally cost me my ambassadorship stop writing,” she said. This was apparently Guilfoyle’s version of the infamous “Stringer Bell rule,” named for a character from the television series The Wire who dressed down one of his drug-dealing accomplices for being stupid enough to keep written notes on a criminal conspiracy. The problem is that she, too, violated that rule: She made her requests to Deters to stop writing things down in writing. Deters, unsurprisingly, kept all the messages. Guilfoyle, he asserts, offered him access to the Trump administration. “I will be your Trump ride or die, forever and ever,” he claims she told him. When she didn’t deliver, he warned Guilfoyle and White House officials earlier this month that he would go public with their correspondence and then made good on that threat. The newly minted ambassador, meanwhile, was flitting about southeastern Europe in the company of Greek tycoons. But again, rather than enjoy the perks of her job in discreet luxury, she bragged about her connections to these wealthy men and tried to present herself as some sort of made woman from the inner Trump orbit who had the juice to get things done. According to The Wall Street Journal, she went to Davos in January 2026 and was excluded from a dinner being held for Eric Trump. She decided to pressure an American businessman to help her get in. “You know, I can deliver the world to you. Which you deserve,” she said. (This time, she was caught on audio, rather than by text message.) “I’m going to make you a lot of fucking money,” she told the American. She also raged about the impudence of the dinner’s Greek hostess. “You don’t have the fucking U.S., you know, ambassador to Greece not come. She should be kissing my fucking ass.” Again, Trump Sr. has no problem with F-bombs; he deploys them regularly. He has no problem with money grabs while in public office; he has enriched himself while president and has explicitly or implicitly blessed similar efforts by other subordinates to profit from their positions. But he apparently draws a line when his son’s former fiancée does not show proper appreciation for the courtesy of being stashed in Athens—Athens!—and then lands in the newspapers looking like an aging waitress cadging tips from marks in a casino. Honey, just put it on the tray. Don’t tell my manager, and I’ll get you to the good poker table. Guilfoyle was once so tight with the Trumps that she was given a prime-time slot to fawn over the president during the 2020 GOP convention. It was a disastrous, over-the-top performance, but Trump loved it, reportedly calling her “my Kimberly” and comparing her to the former Argentine first lady Eva Perón. Earlier this year, Trump said of his emissary to Greece: “Kimberly Guilfoyle has been my friend for a long time. I love calling her Kimber-lay. That’s my little pet name, right? But you are the greatest, and I heard they love you over there.” But over the past several days, the president saw bad publicity about this demanding, middle-aged woman, thrown over by his son for a younger wife—as Trump himself has done to previous spouses—trying to profit off his presidency while making a fool of herself and encouraging more bad press about corruption just before the midterm elections. Guilfoyle had to go, and Trump jettisoned her quickly and coldly. “She wasn’t a member of my family,” the president said yesterday. “She, uh, I guess dated my son a long time ago.” “Dated”? I guess? She was in line for years to become the president’s daughter-in-law, married to his first-born son. Now she’s just some dame one of his kids used to know. Guilfoyle didn’t get it. All she had to do was stay out of trouble. But that was too hard for her, and now she’s learned that making money off this presidency means following some rules. Don’t be too obvious; don’t embarrass the boss; don’t get caught if you can help it. And especially, don’t be an older woman.

Exclusive: White House probes claims of missing Kennedy Center money Photo illustration: Sarah Grillo/Axios. Photos: Charly Triballeau and Odd Andersen/AFP, and Erica Denhoff/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images President Trump has directed his White House counsel to examine explosive allegations dropped on him Friday in the Oval Office, Axios' Marc Caputo reports exclusively. Former Trump attorney Alina Habba told the president that another one of his top advisers — former Kennedy Center leader Ric Grenell — failed to deposit a multimillion-dollar donation that her billionaire husband made to the center a year ago, according to four senior administration officials and three insiders briefed on the controversy. The total value of the contribution was nearly $6 million, White House sources said Habba told them. Grenell denied the accusations as "absurd" and a "lie." Grenell told Axios: "I've never asked for 1 cent to be sent somewhere else pretending it was for the Kennedy Center, and I've never received any payment from him at all. Make him give proof to what he is saying, not make these absurd allegations." Habba and her husband, Turhan Mildon, declined to comment through a spokesperson. Habba's attorneys plan to give the White House documentation — reviewed by Axios — to support her allegations. A White House official said: "The White House counsel has asked for documents and proof. None has come so far." A senior administration official cautioned that "these are only allegations. We don't know if they're true. This could be a misunderstanding." Said another: "POTUS doesn't want to deal with this. Of course, he's concerned. But if there is missing money, this is a big, big problem." The intrigue: Just a few months ago, Grenell was friends with Mildon and Habba. But he was notably absent from their $10 million wedding that was attended by Trump world officials, power brokers and luminaries last month. One Trump world insider with knowledge of the conflict said: "This is the ultimate MAGA blood feud." Keep reading.

👋 Good morning! Happy Hump Day. In today's edition: Tampa ties things up, Gibbs passes Sanders, MJ jersey sale sets record (again), Philly's saving grace, Christian Horner interview, and more. Yahoo Sports AM is written by Kendall Baker and Jeff Tracy. Let's sports...   📸 SNAPSHOTS PICS DU JOUR (Julio Aguilar/Getty Images) ⚾️ St. Petersburg, Florida The Rays beat the Guardians, 3-1, on Tuesday to draw even in the ALCS behind another gem from Freddy Peralta (6 IP, 6 K, 0 R) and an uncharacteristic blunder from José Ramírez, who booted a two-out grounder in the fourth inning that ultimately led to all three of Tampa Bay's runs. A tale of two seasons: Peralta, a Cy Young contender last year in Milwaukee, was terrible in his first (and surely only) season with the Mets, pitching to a 4.99 ERA in 22 starts before being traded to Tampa at the deadline. He went 5-2 with a 3.25 ERA for the Rays in the regular season and has now allowed just 1 ER through 10.2 excellent postseason innings. (Georgia Soares/USSF/Getty Images) ⚽️ Chester, Pennsylvania The USWNT fought back for a 2-2 draw against top-ranked Spain, erasing an 0-2 halftime deficit behind a 49th-minute goal from Ashley Sanchez and an 86th-minute equalizer from Mallory Swanson — her first national team goal as a new mom. Down, but not out: This was the first time ever that the USWNT avoided defeat despite trailing by multiple goals at half. Should they find themselves in a rematch with La Roja during next summer's World Cup in Brazil, they'll surely draw from the resilience they displayed in this one. (Kirk Irwin/NHLI via Getty Images) 🏒 Columbus, Ohio Brady Tkachuk scored his first three goals as a Panther in epic fashion, recording a natural hat trick in a span of eight minutes during a 7-3 rout of the Blue Jackets. And here's the kicker: Brady's brother, Matthew, assisted on all three goals! All in, the Tkachuks combined for nine points, tied for the most in game by brothers playing on the same team since 1985. Goal-scoring frenzy: The fourth annual Frozen Frenzy featured 112 goals, just two shy of the most on a single day in NHL history. The 222 players with at least one point set a new NHL single-day record.   💯 STAT SHEET BIG NUMBERS ⚾️ 2-0 The Brewers are the 17th pre-series betting underdog to take a 2-0 lead in a League Championship Series since the round expanded to seven games in 1985. And if history is any indication, the Dodgers could be in trouble, as 13 of the previous 16 such teams (81%) went on to win the series. Zoom out: That data tracks almost exactly even with a much broader scope, as teams with a 2-0 lead in any best-of-seven MLB playoff series have gone on to win 79 of 95 times (83%). Just four of those 16 successful comebacks came this century: 2025 ALCS (Blue Jays over Mariners), 2023 NLCS (Diamondbacks over Phillies), 2020 NLCS (Dodgers over Braves) and 2004 ALCS (Red Sox over Yankees). (Christian Petersen/Getty Images) 🏈 58 touchdowns Jahmyr Gibbs' latest monster game (207 total yards, 2 TD) gave him 58 career touchdowns from scrimmage, breaking Barry Sanders' record for the most by a player before turning 25. And with Gibbs' 25th birthday still five months away (March 20), he has plenty of time to put that record well out of reach. Something about those Detroit running backs, man… Dynamic duo: Gibbs isn't the only Lion off to an excellent start. Jared Goff's 1,485 passing yards rank second in the league, and he's the first QB in NFL history with 12+ passing TDs and zero giveaways through the first five games of a season. (Carina Johansen/NTB/AFP via Getty Images) ⚽️ 19x Viking pulled off a stunner against Bayern Munich in Tuesday's Champions League action, battling the German giants to a 3-3 draw thanks to a last-minute equalizer. How's this for David vs. Goliath: Bayern's squad has a market value ($1.17B) roughly 19 times that of Viking ($62.7M). Going streaking: Bayern's Harry Kane netted two goals in the second half to extend his Champions League scoring streak to nine games, tied for the second-longest in the competition's history, trailing only Cristiano Ronaldo (11 straight).   🏀 PRICE TAGS NO DÉJÀ VU: MJ JERSEY SETS RECORD (AGAIN) (Mike Nelson/AFP via Getty Images) For the second time in two weeks, a Michael Jordan jersey from the 1998 "Last Dance" NBA Finals has sold for a record-setting eight-figure price. Going once, going twice: Jordan's away jersey from Game 2 of that series sold for $14 million in a private deal announced by Hunt Auctions. The price is a record for any game-worn basketball jersey. Another song for the Last Dance: Three Jordan jerseys from the 1998 Finals have now cleared the $10 million barrier. Game 1: Sold for $10.1 million in a Sotheby's auction in 2022. Game 2: Sold for $14 million in a private sale announced Monday. Game 3: Sold for $12.3 million in a JOOPITER auction on Sept. 29. Seeing red: Both the Game 1 and Game 2 jerseys were in the Bulls' away red. That color has proven more desirable than the home white, perhaps because of the iconic imagery associated with Jordan's "Last Shot" and "Flu Game," both of which were Finals games played in Utah. The Game 2 jersey's value was also enhanced by: Strong provenance: Ownership could be traced back to the jersey's purchase directly from the Bulls. Robust authentication: MeiGray and SIA authentication conclusively photomatched* the jersey to Game 2. Authenticated autograph: The Game 2 jersey is the only one featuring a Jordan autograph, which Upper Deck authenticated. Keeping score: Jordan — and that specific series — now account for the second, third, and fourth-most expensive sports jerseys of all time. But they're not even in the same ballpark as Babe Ruth's "Called Shot" jersey from the 1932 World Series, which sold for $24.1 million in 2024. *Photomatching is an authentication process in which unique attributes of a jersey — like the placement of mesh holes, numbers, letters and threads — are identified in high resolution photography of the item in game action.   ⚽️ DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH PHILADELPHIA'S SAVING GRACE Cavan Sullivan and the Union have been flying high. (Orlando Ramirez/Getty Images) Philadelphia's major sports teams have endured a miserable stretch lately, and the internet is letting them hear about it. But amid all the misery on the diamond, gridiron and ice, Philly has quietly found a saving grace: the scorching-hot Union. How bad has it been? Well, as the Carolina Hurricanes tweeted on Sunday, "We've won more games in Philly in the last nine days than the Flyers, Eagles, and Phillies combined." So… not great. Indeed, the Phillies fell to the Braves in the Wild Card Round, the Eagles have lost three straight games (and pretty much all of their running backs), and the Flyers (0-5-3) are winless through eight games, tied for the second-worst start to a season in NHL history. Their games haven't been close, either, with an abysmal -20 scoring differential. And if you include Penn State, as some Philadelphia sports fans do, that's another football team that has lost three straight games after opening the season as a ranked CFP hopeful. Enter, the Union: In the midst of all this losing, Philly's MLS team has rattled off the single best 13-game stretch in league history, going 11-0-2 since returning from the World Cup break. Not bad for a club that sat in dead last before this run began. The Union entered the season with high expectations after winning the Supporters' Shield (best record) a year ago, but won just one of their first 15 games, prompting them to fire head coach Bradley Carnell and replace him with developmental team coach Ryan Richter on an interim basis. Richter's tactical and philosophical changes sparked a much-needed reboot, vaulting Philly (12-10-6) to sixth in the East. His decision to deploy Cavan Sullivan as a full-time starter didn't hurt either, as the 17-year-old has tied the MLS single-season record for goal contributions by a teenager (20). Speaking of MLS streaks… The Union aren't the only club to turn their season around with a historic run. St. Louis City (14-6-8) are unbeaten in 20 consecutive games across all competitions, matching the longest such streak in league history. That includes 13 wins and five draws in league play after opening the season with just one win in their first 10 matches. What to watch: Philadelphia (at third-place Chicago) and St. Louis (vs. first-place Vancouver) will both look to extend their streaks tonight as all 30 MLS teams take the field with the regular season winding down.   📺 VIEWING GUIDE WATCHLIST: WEDNESDAY, OCT. 14 William Contreras celebrates after hitting a home run in Game 2. (Patrick McDermott/Getty Images) ⚾️ NLCS, Game 3 The series shifts to Los Angeles (8pm ET, FS1), where the Dodgers are on the ropes after dropping both games in Milwaukee. Shohei Ohtani will remain in the lineup despite his prolonged slump (3-for-20 in the postseason). The Brewers' not-so secret weapon: Milwaukee's relievers have been nearly unhittable in these playoffs. They threw five perfect innings on Monday, the most by any team's bullpen in a game in postseason history; and across the postseason they've allowed just 1 ER in 28.2 innings (0.31 ERA) while striking out 26 batters. More to watch: ⚽️ Champions League: Man City vs. PSG (3pm, Paramount+); Roma vs. Real Madrid (3pm, Paramount+) … Two of nine games to close out Matchday 2. 🏒 NHL: Canadiens at Capitals (7:30pm, ESPN+); Stars at Avalanche (8:30pm, TNT) … The only games on tap following Tuesday's 16-game frenzy. ⚽️ MLS: Chicago vs. Philadelphia (8:30pm, Apple); St. Louis vs. Vancouver (8:30pm, Apple) … Philly and St. Louis both look to stay historically hot (see above).

Greenland is back in Trump’s sights In a social media post just after midnight, President Trump claimed that “massive oil, gas and mineral exploitation is getting ready to begin” in Greenland, though he offered no details about the operation. Trump has repeatedly threatened to take control of the Danish territory and gain access to its vast natural resources, straining relations with European and NATO allies. But extracting those resources could prove extremely difficult and costly, with many mineral deposits located in remote areas above the Arctic Circle, where there is a mile-thick polar ice sheet. + Read more: Trump says ‘massive’ oil and gas drilling is about to begin in Greenland + For subscribers: Robert Price was sitting on a $1 trillion frozen goldmine.

A bitter turn on the campaign trail Republican campaign attacks are growing uglier amid an uncertain midterm outlook, with party leaders portraying Democratic candidates as strange, threatening and somehow less American. President Donald Trump is mocking the Muslim faith and the name of Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, calling him a “jihadist.” Vice President JD Vance joked Tuesday that Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico is gay, following Trump’s taunts meant to portray the Democratic Senate nominee as insufficiently manly for Texas. Trump has also ramped up racially charged attacks, saying Haitians and Africans are invading states like Ohio and Minnesota. Such rhetoric is hardly new to American politics, or to Trump’s campaigns. But the party appears willing to raise the stakes as its midterm prospects grow increasingly bleak. The loudest attacks, however, aren’t always the most persuasive — and they can alienate voters as easily as they energize. + Analysis: Trump turns to the politics of fear as GOP hopes darken + Also: In the midterm ad wars, Republicans are spending more to get less + Follow along: Sign up for CNN’s midterms newsletter, 20/26 Vision ps:They're getting more and more desperate, with lying and spending outrages amounts of money!!!!!

The not-so-secret vulnerability in Ukraine’s drone arsenal? Chinese technology Ukraine has become a global leader in military drone innovation, enabling its forces to grind a much larger enemy to a stalemate. But this has come with an unsettling vulnerability: Ukrainian drone makers are highly dependent on electronics made by China, a key Russian ally. Read more. What to know: Ukraine’s greatest fear is that the Chinese government could restrict its access to these critical parts. It also worries that Russian defense companies that need these same supplies could be given preferential treatment by Chinese factories. Over the past two years, Ukraine has sought to break its dependence on China but cannot do so entirely, whose lower costs and vastly greater production capacity cannot be matched by allied suppliers.
