Newark Runway to Reopen Early After Construction Slowed Trips
A runway at Newark Liberty International Airport that's been under construction and is partially responsible for some of the disruptions there will reopen Monday, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced Friday.
The project, which was originally slated to be completed by June 15, is 13 days ahead of schedule. The port authority was able to speed up the construction by 'bringing in additional crews, expanding shifts, and enabling construction to take place 24 hours a day, seven days a week,' according to a statement from New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and the port authority. US Transportation Department Secretary Sean Duffy also announced the news in a post to X.

Over 1,000 Rite Aid, Walgreens, CVS stores closing; See which ones in Delaware
Rite Aid, CVS and Walgreens will have closed a collective 1,000 locations across the U.S. in 2025, and Delaware will feel the hit as stores shutter across the state. Pharmaceutical giant Rite Aid announced it was closing 316 stores as it filed for its second bankruptcy on May 5, according to documents reviewed by USA TODAY. The chain's first Chapter 11 bankruptcy was in October 2023, when it said at the time it would shutter over 100 stores. The news is the latest in a slew of big pharma stores making big changes. CVS plans to close 271 stores in 2025 — after spending several years shuttering around 900 already, a spokesperson told USA TODAY. Population shifts, consumer buying patterns and community health needs were among the factors to close stores, and not a response to industry pressures. Walgreens has in recent years been struggling with sluggish consumer spending, and announced in 2024 it would close 1,200 "underperforming" stores over several years, with 500 in the fiscal year 2025. The move is part of a cost-cutting "turnaround plan" under CEO Tim Wentworth to help stabilize the store's main retail pharmacy focus. Of the 316 Rite Aid stores closing nationwide, six are in Delaware: Laurel: 1120 South Central Ave. Millsboro: 24892 John J. Williams Highway Glasgow: 400 Peoples Plaza Stanton: 4607 Stanton Ogletown Road Rehoboth Beach: 18898 Rehoboth Mall Blvd. Selbyville: 38169 Dupond Blvd. In recent years, seven Rite Aid locations in Delaware have closed. As of May 30, Rite Aid had 29 locations listed in Delaware, per the company's website. The locations that are expected to close still remain listed. Of the 271 stores closing in fiscal year 2025, Newsweek reports none closing in Delaware. The state is home to 23 locations, and one in Wilmington shuttered in 2019. The latest list of store closures does not include any in Delaware. However, Walgreens has shuttered multiple locations in Delaware in recent years, including five in 2023. Walgreens currently operates 26 locations in the state, per the company website. Lori Comstock is a New Jersey-based journalist with the Mid-Atlantic Connect Team.

Elon Musk denies taking ketamine in X reply to bizarre spoon balancing video
Elon Musk confirmed on Saturday he is not taking ketamine, an anesthetic drug, after suspicious reports from news outlets and a bizarre video of Musk playing with a spoon at dinner resurfaced online. The video, filmed in March, appears to show the 53-year-old tech mogul balancing spoons at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. "Watch the video—even the Secret Service looks embarrassed," the account wrote in the post. "I'm not on ketamine ffs," Musk replied. The public response comes days after a New York Times report claimed Musk "juggled drugs and family drama" while on the campaign trail. NYT reporters alleged Musk overused ketamine, leading to bladder issues. The report also cited erratic behavior, which supporters have attributed to his Asperger's diagnosis. In a White House news conference on Friday, Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked Musk in the Oval Office about the scathing report. Before Doocy could finish asking his question, Musk sarcastically shot back, "Oh, wait, wait, wait. Is the New York Times… is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on Russiagate? Is it the same organization?" Doocy replied, "I've got to check my Pulitzer counter." Musk interjected, "it is," and President Donald Trump, sitting beside Musk, agreed. "I think the judge has ruled against New York Times for their lies about the Russiagate hoax, and that they might have to give back that Pulitzer Prize," Musk countered. "That New York Times? Let's move on." Musk could not immediately be reached by Fox News Digital for comment.
