WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will have to name a new national security adviser, following last night's resignation of Michael Flynn.

In Flynn's resignation letter, he said he held numerous calls with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. during the transition and gave "incomplete information" to the White House about those discussions.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The case of an endangered frog heads to the U.S. Supreme Court. Advocates for the "dusky gopher frog" won a victory yesterday when a federal appeals court in New Orleans refused to revive the case. Last year, a three-judge panel rejected an attempt by a Louisiana business to keep the federal government from listing its timberland as essential for the frog's future. Environmentalists say the Louisiana land in question contains a type of pond the frog needs to survive.
PORT CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Passengers on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship spent the night stuck at port in central Florida after Coast Guard inspectors found safety issues on board the ship. They were supposed to be heading to the Bahamas. The Coast Guard says the delay had to do with life-saving equipment on board, not the ship's engine. The 880-foot-long vessel can typically carry more than 2,700 guests and a crew of about 900. It's unclear how many people were on board.
