- Halloween candy expected to cost more this year
- Date posted

- Description
- Halloween candy is pricier than ever this year, with costs up by more than 20% since 2021. But that’s not slowing down American consumers.
Candy prices are up 8% this year alone, according the National Confectioners Association — largely because of a cocoa shortage from West Africa. That area produces the majority of the world’s cocoa. It’s been deeply affected by climate change, like extreme droughts and rain. That, in turn, affects big chocolate companies like Hershey, which doubled prices earlier this year.
Still, Americans are expected to spend nearly $4 billion this year on Halloween candy, according to the National Retail Federation.

- For the sixth time this year, U.S. forces have destroyed a boat in the waters off the coast of Venezuela. President Trump said the people on board were criminals, without citing any evidence.
The president posted on his Truth Social network that U.S. intelligence confirmed a small vessel in international waters off the Venezuelan coast was carrying drugs. The White House maintains its at war with Venezuelan drug traffickers and may kill them in strikes like this because they are “unlawful enemy combatants.”
Critics in Congress say the president cannot declare wars without their consent — and that, in this case, the president is asserting a right to kill anyone he declares an enemy with no due process of law.

- Description
- Filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan, best known for his supernatural thrillers like The Sixth Sense, has teamed up with novelist Nicholas Sparks, famed for The Notebook and many more romantic novels, to create a new novel and an upcoming film, both called Remain. The collaboration may seem unlikely but the pair call it a natural fit for two seasoned creatives who admire each other's work.
Shyamalan and Sparks crafted the story at the same time, with the novel out today [October 14th] and the film due in theaters in October 2026. The process required the two to be so closely in tune that they say it's unlikely a joint effort like this will happen again anytime soon.
They sat down with Morning Edition host Leila Fadel at NPR's New York studios to discuss the process.

- A basketball folk hero has died: Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, also known as Sister Jean, was the chaplain for the Loyola University Chicago men’s basketball team and became an international celebrity when the team made it to the NCAA Final Four in 2018.
Born in 1919, Sister Jean played intramural basketball as a young girl. She became a nun after graduating from high school and was a teacher for decades. When the Loyola Ramblers made it to the Final Four, Sister Jean was on the sidelines, decked out in the school's colors and cheering the team on from her wheelchair.
She was in her late 90s when she told NPR she had a simple wish: "When I die I want to go to heaven and I want my friends to be there."
Sister Jean was 106. She had retired earlier this year because of health issues.

The practice, promoted by some conservative Christian groups, is banned for minors by half the states and staunchly opposed as harmful for minors by every major medical organization. But lawyers for a Colorado therapist plan to tell the justices that because she uses only talk therapy, banning the practice violates the U.S. Constitution’s free speech guarantee.
Last term, the high court upheld state laws that ban the use of hormones and other measures to help minors change their sex. Today, a different group of states contend that they ban conversion therapy because it doesn’t work and has proven harmful to minors.

- Under pressure from the Trump administration, Apple says it's removed an app called ICEBlock — self-described as “Waze but for ICE sightings” — that's used for anonymously reporting ICE agents' locations from its app store.
ICEBlock shot to the top of app store charts this summer amid the Trump administration’s stepped-up immigration enforcement. Now, Apple says the app can no longer be downloaded on iPhones, saying it poses a risk to law enforcement. Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed the app was "designed to put ICE agents at risk just for doing their jobs.” Developers said the intention was not to harm law enforcement, but to serve as an early warning system.

- Hundreds of celebrities have relaunched a committee to defend free speech that was first formed during the post-World War II Red Scare. The group is spearheaded by actor and activist Jane Fonda, whose father, Henry Fonda, stood against the Hollywood blacklists of the McCarthy era.
Pedro Pascal, Mark Ruffalo, Billie Eilish, Spike Lee, Quinta Brunson, Barbra Streisand, Janelle Monáe, Anne Hathaway and Ben Stiller are among the nearly 600 entertainers to join the newly reformed Committee for the First Amendment. The group says the federal government is engaged in a “coordinated campaign to silence critics in the government, the media, the judiciary, academia, and the entertainment industry.”
The Committee for the First Amendment first launched in the 1940s, when the House Un-American Activities Committee accused many Hollywood actors and writers of being communists or communist sympathizers and derailed their careers.

He is arguing that Democrats can regain rural voters who have turned against the party overwhelmingly in recent years.

- Fire crews battled massive flames at a Chevron refinery just outside of Los Angeles overnight that could be seen for miles.

The cause of the blaze is still under investigation.
