Bank of America’s mobile applications were apparently knocked offline Wednesday.
Many BofA account holders took to social media platforms to say they either couldn’t access their online accounts or saw zero balances when they did log in.
The Charlotte, North Carolina-based bank said in a statement that some clients “are experiencing an issue accessing their accounts and balance information today.”
“These issues are being addressed and have largely been resolved,” the statement continued. “We apologize for any inconvenience.”
One X user drolly posted that their money was gone, “but...
Vance and Walz focus their attacks on the top of the ticket — not each other: VP debate takeaways
By BILL BARROW, ZEKE MILLER and NICHOLAS RICCARDI
WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice Presidential hopefuls Tim Walz and JD Vance squared off Tuesday night in what may be the last debate of the 2024 presidential campaign. It was the first encounter between Minnesota’s Democratic governor and Ohio’s Republican senator, following last month’s debate between the tops of their tickets, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
No more debates are on the political calendar before Election Day. Tuesday’s confrontation came as the global stakes of the contest rose again as Iran fired...
What to know about Iran’s missile barrage and Israel’s ground operations in Lebanon
By JULIA FRANKEL
JERUSALEM (AP) — Iran launched at least 180 missiles at Israel on Tuesday evening, causing scattered damage and fires from falling shrapnel, but Israeli authorities said there were no injuries. An Israeli security official said most of the missiles were intercepted, though some managed to land.
Israeli officials said Iran would pay a price for the strike.
The missile attack came after Israel said ground troops crossed into Lebanon in what the military described as a limited operation to root out Hezbollah fighters and infrastructure.
Hezbollah, meanwhile, said it saw no...
Prosecutors file sealed brief detailing allegations against Trump in election interference case
By ERIC TUCKER and ALANNA DURKIN RICHER
WASHINGTON (AP) — Special counsel Jack Smith on Thursday filed, under seal, a legal brief that prosecutors have said would contain sensitive and new evidence in the case charging former President Donald Trump with plotting to overturn the 2020 election he lost.
The brief, submitted over the Trump team’s objections, is aimed at defending a revised and stripped-down indictment that prosecutors filed last month to comply with a Supreme Court ruling that conferred broad immunity on former presidents.
Prosecutors said earlier this month that they intended...

Trump listens during a farming event in rural Pennsylvania, then threatens John Deere with tariffs
By ADRIANA GOMEZ LICON and WILL WEISSERT, Associated Press
SMITHTON, Pa. (AP) — Donald Trump sat in a large barn in rural Pennsylvania on Monday, asking questions of farmers and offering jokes, but, in a rarity for his campaign events, mostly listening.
The bombastic former president was unusually restrained at an event about China’s influence on the U.S. economy, a roundtable during which farmers and manufacturers expressed concerns about losing their way of life. Behind Trump were large green tractors and a sign declaring “Protect our food from China.”
The event in Smithton,...
Thousands flee southern Lebanon in search of safety and shelter
By FADI TAWIL and MOHAMMAD ZAATARI, Associated Press
BEIRUT (AP) — Thousands of families from southern Lebanon packed cars and minivans with suitcases, mattresses, blankets and carpets and jammed the highway heading north toward Beirut on Monday to flee the deadliest Israeli bombardment since 2006.
Some 100,000 people living near the border had already been displaced since October, when the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and Israeli forces began exchanging near-daily fire against the backdrop of the war in Gaza. As the fighting intensifies, the number of evacuees is expected to rise.

Blinken is heading back to the Middle East, this time without fanfare or a visit to Israel
By ELLEN KNICKMEYER, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Antony Blinken heads to Egypt on Tuesday for his 10th trip to the Middle East since the war in Gaza began nearly a year ago, this one aimed partly at refining a proposal to present to Israel and Hamas for a cease-fire deal and release of hostages.
Unlike in recent mediating missions, America’s top diplomat this time is traveling without optimistic projections from the Biden administration of an expected breakthrough in the troubled negotiations.
Notably, Blinken has no public plans to go to Israel to meet with Prime...
