For travelers hoping to board a plane this week, inclement weather and long security lines are likely to cause headaches at the airport. As a partial government shutdown affecting Transportation Security Administration funding drags on, TSA officers have been calling out of work at high rates after missing their first full paycheck. “It’s devastating to their finances,” Johnny Jones, Secretary-Treasurer of AFGE TSA Council 100 and a Dallas-based TSA worker, told USA TODAY. “My family had to get rid of our vacation plans, and everybody’s having struggles. There are a lot of people who don’t have money for food, gas,…

Check your fridge: Costco has recalled a popular pre-made meatloaf meal kit sold in nearly 30 states because it may be contaminated with salmonella. The meals, which contain meatloaf with mashed Yukon potatoes and glaze, were sold at Costco locations this month, according to a recall notice on the wholesaler’s website. An ingredient used in the meatloaf may be contaminated with salmonella, the recall notice says. Salmonella is a bacteria that can contaminate food and make people sick. It is a leading cause of foodborne illness in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. USA…

As a powerful storm barrels toward the Northeast on Monday, March 16, airlines are already bracing for widespread disruptions while travelers face another hurdle at the airport: unusually long security lines tied to a funding lapse at the Department of Homeland Security. Airlines have begun canceling and delaying flights ahead of the system, with hundreds already scrubbed from schedules and more expected as heavy snow, strong winds and poor visibility move into the region. Over 3,700 U.S. flights have been canceled as of 3 p.m. ET, according to flight-tracking website FlightAware. Chicago O’Hare International Airport, La Guardia Airport, and Charlotte…

Meta Platforms shares rose nearly 3% on Monday, March 16 after a Reuters report that the social media giant plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce to offset heavy spending on artificial intelligence and bet on productivity gains from the technology. If Meta settles on the 20% figure, the cuts will be the biggest since a late 2022 and early 2023 restructuring it dubbed the “year of efficiency”, which eliminated around 21,000 jobs. After falling behind in the AI race, Meta has spent heavily in recent years to catch up by building data centers and waging a…

Whether you have some Irish ancestry or you just enjoy the frivolity, St. Patrick’s Day means fun. The Irish began observing St. Patrick’s Day, which lands on Tuesday, March 17, for more than 1,000 years. Here in the U.S., cities nationwide host parades and festivals to celebrate the holiday – a practice that began hundreds of years ago, according to History.com. Restaurants and bars have special St. Patrick’s Day food and drinks – yes, of course, there’s green beer. Fewer than 10% of the U.S. population has Irish ancestry, according to the U.S. Census. But that doesn’t stop folks from…

Carnival Cruise Line canceled nearly a dozen voyages scheduled to depart later this year. “Due to changes to itinerary plans, we have cancelled sailings aboard Carnival Firenze scheduled between October 12, 2026, and November 16, 2026,” the cruise line told USA TODAY in an emailed statement.

Jessica Caldwell has been considering Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in the last couple of weeks. That invasion in February 2022 prompted an oil price shock that sent gas prices soaring and prompted more consumers to consider electric vehicles. In some ways, it’s the most comparable global event to the current U.S. and Israeli war against Iran for its impact on gas prices and initial interest boost in EVs, according to Caldwell, the head of Insights for Edmunds. “We have a model,” Caldwell said, pointing to similar uncertainties from geopolitical unrest in the early stages of the two events with no…

You probably don’t spend much time inspecting your earlobes. But a quick check in the mirror might reveal a subtle physical trait linked to cardiovascular health. A deep, diagonal line crossing the bottom of your earlobe could be more than just a normal sign of aging. Medical professionals refer to this specific wrinkle as Frank’s sign. The name comes from Dr. Sanders T. Frank, a pulmonologist who first noted the connection in the early 1970s. He observed that many of his patients with confirmed coronary artery disease shared this distinct feature. Since that initial observation, numerous studies have explored the…

Dollar Tree is famous for its baseline price of $1.25 (formerly $1) for most items. Even the store’s grocery aisles are filled with food items at that affordable price. I try to live frugally, so I headed to my local Dollar Tree store, curious to find which grocery items might become cheap cupboard staples for me and which foods aren’t worth the rock-bottom price. I found a number of foods and drinks I’d honestly buy again, as I detail in “9 of My Favorite Groceries to Buy at the Dollar Store.” But I also found some products that will never again…
