CHICO, Calif. (AP) — A Northern California sheriff says the list of names of those unaccounted for after a deadly wildfire has dropped to around 1,000. Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea says that's about 300 less than what was posted at the start of Sunday. Authorities stressed that many of the people on the list may be safe and unaware they have been reported missing.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, a Florida political icon who first arrived on Capitol Hill in the decades when Democrats dominated the Sunshine State, has ceded his bitterly close re-election bid to Republican Rick Scott, the outgoing governor. A bruising recount showed Nelson trailed Scott by more than 10,000 votes. Election results are to be certified on Tuesday.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The final outstanding House election result in California cements the Democratic rout. In what had been the last undecided House contest in the state, Democrat Gil Cisneros beat Republican Young Kim in the 39th District. All-told, Democrats picked up a total of six congressional seats in California. Four Republican-held House districts all or partly in Orange County, a one-time nationally known GOP stronghold, have shifted in one election to the Democratic column.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump isn't committing to honoring his previous pledge to retain chief of staff John Kelly for the remainder of his term, providing fuel to widespread speculation about staffing changes that could soon sweep through his administration. In a wide-ranging interview with "Fox News Sunday," Trump praised Kelly's work ethic and much of what he brings to the position but added "there are certain things that I don't like that he does."

TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — Hundreds of Tijuana residents have protested the thousands of Central American migrants who have arrived via caravan in hopes of a new life in the U.S. Tensions have built as nearly 3,000 migrants have poured into Tijuana in recent days after more than a month on the road, and with many more months ahead of them while they seek asylum. On Sunday, displeased Tijuana residents in an affluent section of the city waved Mexican flags, sang the Mexican national anthem and chanted "Out! Out!"
