(Photo by Jerod MacDonald-Evoy/Arizona Mirror) Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, who outspent her Republican opponent Andy Biggs by 2.5 times, was leading the Arizona gubernatorial race by 18 points when the secretary of state posted initial election night results Tuesday night.  Unofficial election night results show the incumbent Hobbs with 58% of votes counted to Biggs’ 40%. Those votes are all early ballots that were returned prior to Election Day. Hundreds of thousands of voters cast ballots or turned in early ballots on Tuesday, and those have yet to be counted. “You smell that? Smells like victory!” U.S. Sen. Ruben Gallego told the crowd at the Arizona Democratic Party’s election night watch party after the first round of results highly favored Democrats.  GET THE MORNING HEADLINES. SUBSCRIBE That should be no surprise to those who followed the race, with Hobbs, the former Arizona Secretary of State, consistently polling ahead of her veteran Republican congressman opponent. Biggs made up some ground in the weeks leading up to the election, but a HighGround poll released Oct. 27 still showed the governor with a 12 point lead.  Hobbs raised a whopping $15 million this election cycle to Biggs’ nearly $5.8 million, blanketing the internet and airwaves in attack ads, while Biggs’ campaign lacked the funds to keep up.  Biggs, the former leader of the far-right House Freedom Caucus, was backed by Turning Point USA, the far-right organization founded by the late Charlie Kirk.  Turning Point PAC spent $18 million over the past two years to try to reelect Biggs, including by erecting “Democrats for Biggs” signs all over the Valley, in some neighborhoods at all four corners of every intersection.  Biggs is an election denier who was front and center in efforts to “Stop the Steal” after President Donald Trump’s loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election. He joined fellow Arizona GOP Congressman Paul Gosar in spreading doubt about the results of the 2020 election and made claims of voter disenfranchisement that were not backed up by evidence.  Former Speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives Rusty Bowers said Biggs called him the morning of January 6 asking him to sign onto a letter calling for the decertification of Arizona electors. Biggs, who voted to reject electoral votes for Biden from Arizona and other battleground states, later allegedly sought a pardon from Trump for his involvement; he denied ever doing so.  Like other MAGA candidates this election cycle, Biggs suffered from his loyalty to Trump, whose approval rating is at 37% amid high gas and grocery prices, an unpopular war in Iran and a shockingly violent mass deportation agenda.  Alongside her campaign’s spending, Hobbs got about $10 million in support from the Democratic Governors Association. The Republican Governors Association stayed out of the race and did not spend to back Biggs.  The nasty campaign saw both sides accusing the other of supporting pedophiles over their victims.  The Hobbs campaign pointed to Biggs’ blocking of legislation in 2013, when he was president of the Arizona Senate, that was meant to protect young girls who were part of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a polygamous and insular religious sect that split from the mainstream LDS church. In addition to polygamy, the splinter sect also practices child marriage, with girls as young as nine years old being forced into marriages with older men and church leaders. Biggs said he voted against the measure because it was poorly drafted and law enforcement didn’t support it.  The Biggs campaign went after Hobbs for vetoing legislation that would have increased penalties for sex offenders. Hobbs said the laws on the books were already sufficient and that the legislation was written too broadly.  Since she beat Republican Kari Lake by 17,000 votes in 2022, Hobbs has blocked some of the most extreme legislation passed by the Republicans who controlled both chambers of the Arizona Legislature during that time.  Since she took office in 2023, Hobbs has vetoed a record 541 pieces of legislation, almost all of it backed by only Republicans.

Darline Graham, the younger sister of the late longtime Sen. Lindsey Graham, to win a six-year term representing South Carolina in the Senate. With her major upset, Andrews, a pediatrician who ran as an outsider, becomes the first Democrat in nearly three decades to win a Senate election in South Carolina. Having a very familiar name in South Carolina and receiving two 11th-hour campaign trail stops by President Donald Trump weren't enough to help push Graham over the finish line in the ruby-red southeastern state. DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB The race became increasingly competitive in the final weeks of the campaign. And outside groups aligned with Republicans and Democrats poured cash and resources into the ballot box showdown at the 11th hour. With some of the top nonpartisan political handicappers shifting the contest in the direction of the Democrats, Trump traveled to South Carolina with less than two weeks until Election Day to rally with Graham. "She’s smart and incredible. She’ll never let you down," Trump said as he praised Graham at an Oct. 21 stop in Upstate South Carolina. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER Democratic strategist Mally Smith told Fox News Digital that "South Carolina bows to no king." "President Trump tried to hand-pick his successor in South Carolina, and the voters emphatically rejected his choice. Americans are sick of electing MAGA puppets to higher office who enable Trump’s erratic behavior and blatant corruption," said Smith. During the general election campaign, Graham emphasized her support for Trump’s agenda, continuing her brother’s work in the Senate, and spotlighting cost of living issues. "I know how it feels to live paycheck to paycheck. There's been many years in my life that I've lived paycheck to paycheck like a lot of South Carolinians. So I know they're feeling it at the gas pumps," Graham said in a recent interview on Fox News' "America Reports." "Suspending the gas tax, that's a temporary solution. I'm all for that. I'm glad that President Trump eased regulations on red-dyed diesel. I think that helps farmers. But the long-term solution is easing regulations on drilling and oil refineries." Andrews also made affordability, along with healthcare costs, a centerpiece of her Senate campaign, and highlighted her experience as a pediatrician working with children and families. "I never in a million years thought I would be running for federal office, let alone a US Senate seat, but I have 20 years of experience working inside America's broken healthcare system, coming face to face with all of Washington's failures in my hospital exam rooms. And I take that experience and I bring it to the campaign trail," Andrews emphasized in a recent Fox News Digital interview. After her brother's sudden death in July, GOP Gov. Henry McMaster appointed Graham to fill the remainder of the late senator's current term, which concludes at the end of this year. At the time of his death, Lindsey Graham had won renomination in South Carolina's June primary. With Trump's urging and support, Graham ran in a special Republican Senate nomination primary to succeed her brother. She defeated Rep. Ralph Norman in a late August runoff election after the two advanced two weeks earlier from a crowded 10-candidate primary.

New Jersey's 7th Congressional District, which is where President Donald Trump's Bedminster golf course is located, is projected to be represented next year by former Navy helicopter pilot Rebecca Bennett after she is projected to defeat Rep. Tom Kean Jr., R-N.J. Kean, the son of former Garden State Gov. Tom Kean Sr., was seeking a third term representing the affluent area encompassing suburbs and exurbs of New York City. DEMS PICK CHALLENGER FOR GOP CONGRESSMAN WHO VANISHED FROM PUBLIC VIEW AMID HEALTH MYSTERY Multiple election forecasts, including Fox News Power Rankings, projected that he would lose to Bennett in what was expected to be an overall difficult year for Republicans trying to keep their congressional majorities. Kean is known to keep a low profile on Capitol Hill. But he was thrust into the spotlight earlier this year over a four-month absence from Congress that he later revealed was due to his getting treatment for depression. He received some blowback, however, for not revealing the specifics of his issue until his return. REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN WILL END MONTHSLONG ABSENCE FROM DC AFTER MISSING 135 ROLL CALL VOTES "When I first informed the public that I was dealing with a medical issue, I was still trying to understand what was happening myself. When I said I hoped to return in a matter of weeks, I believed it. Those were the best estimates the doctors could provide. But, as the over 48 million of my fellow Americans being treated for this illness have come to discover, there is no timeline for healing. There is no timeline for recovery. Only the work of getting better one day at a time," Kean said on the House floor when he returned. He defended Trump's economic record and war in Iran during his and Bennett's first and only debate, while she criticized the president's tariffs and blamed the Middle East conflict for the high gas prices Americans are grappling with. Kean told Fox News Digital of his own record in August, "I've been a really effective legislator who's brought things back to the district, who's listened to my constituents on their needs and their concerns, in contrast to my opponent, who has really been a very abject partisan." Republicans across the U.S. have been sandbagged by Trump's low approval numbers, despite the president crisscrossing the country in the weeks before the election in a bid to turn out the base. FOX NEWS POLL: AS ECONOMIC PAIN DEEPENS, DISAPPROVAL OF TRUMP HITS NEW HIGH Several House Republicans told Fox News Digital as of early Tuesday night that they had given up hope of keeping the majority. "It's a bloodbath," one senior House GOP aide said. And Kean's district was one of the earliest ones where GOP groups waved the white flag. Fox News Digital was told by multiple sources last month that the House GOP leadeship-aligned Congressional Leadership Fund and Trump-aligned MAGA Inc. were pulling their investments out of the district to triage races in other parts of the country. A source close to Kean's campaign brushed it off at the time, telling Fox News Digital they were set for cash.  Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told attendees at a fundraiser for Kean that Fox News Digital attended in August, "We consider this a top three race, not just a top 10. That's how important it is to us. It has a target on its back."

Fox News Decision Des projects the former Atlanta mayor will become the Peach State's first female governor and the first Black woman elected governor in American history. The victory marks a major breakthrough for Democrats in one of the nation's most closely contested swing states. Georgia voters had not elected a Democratic governor since Roy Barnes won the 1998 election and took office in 1999, with Republicans capturing the governor's mansion in 2002 and holding it ever since. GOP GOVERNOR CANDIDATE SKIPS DEBATE AGAINST FORMER BIDEN ADVISOR, REPLACED BY EMPTY PODIUM Fellow Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff also won his race for reelection, Fox News Decision Desk projects. Bottoms, who served as Atlanta's mayor from 2018 to 2022, later joined former President Joe Biden's White House as a senior advisor and director of the Office of Public Engagement. She emerged from the Democratic primary to face Jackson in the open-seat race to succeed term-limited Republican Gov. Brian Kemp. Jackson, a wealthy healthcare executive and first-time candidate, poured more than $200 million of his personal fortune into his campaign. He defeated Trump-endorsed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in the Republican primary runoff , setting up the general election against Bottoms. The race drew national attention in a state that has shifted from a longtime Republican stronghold into a presidential battleground. Biden narrowly carried Georgia in 2020, becoming the first Democratic presidential candidate to win the state since Bill Clinton in 1992, before President Donald Trump returned it to the Republican column in 2024. GIANNO CALDWELL: BOTTOMS RAN ATLANTA INTO THE GROUND. WE CAN’T LET HER DO IT TO GEORGIA Bottoms campaigned on expanding Medicaid, raising the state's minimum wage and increasing pay for public employees, while Jackson called for phasing out Georgia's income tax and pitched himself as a political outsider who would bring a businessman's approach to state government. Jackson repeatedly targeted Bottoms' record as Atlanta mayor, while Bottoms attacked the Republican's massive self-funding and sought to tie him to Trump. Bottoms' victory ends a Republican run in the governor's office that began with Sonny Perdue's election in 2002 and continued through the administrations of Nathan Deal and Kemp.

Clinton spoke with "Pivot" podcast co-hosts Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway at a live Election Night event and predicted a Democratic wave. "I think we're going to wake up to a Democratic House and a Democratic Senate," she told the co-hosts. Galloway agreed with Clinton's prediction but warned that it may be a short-term victory if Democrats do not respond to voter concerns. BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON MAKE ELEVENTH-HOUR MIDTERM MOVES AS PARTY'S OLD GUARD FACES NEW REALITY "Let's count our chickens and assume we take the House and the Senate and it's Nov. 4. I would argue it's a lease, not a mortgage, dating, not a relationship," he said. "I think that it'll be a function of not them loving Democrats, but hating us less." "What do you think the Democratic Party needs to do or Democratic leadership — what are two or three things you think they need to do immediately such that we can turn this into something enduring going into ‘28 instead of just them flipping back in 24 months," he asked. Clinton agreed, warning that Democrats would need to capitalize on any midterm victories and follow through on their agenda if they want to win in 2028 as well. "You're absolutely right, Scott. If the Democrats don't go in with an agenda and have the discipline to enact that agenda, then they're going to lose the kind of support that they're going to gain in this election," she said. TIM WALZ WARNS DEMOCRATS WILL FACE RECKONING IF THEY WIN POWER AND FAIL TO DELIVER CHANGE Clinton said Democrats could capitalize on potential midterm victories by focusing on affordability, corruption and investigations into the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). "Number one, they ought to look at the affordability agenda. What's going to be in that? I think there are several things, one of which is healthcare costs, but there also can be even more fast tracking of, you know, housing starts, taking a hard look at how we can, you know, shift the burden on fossil fuel costs from consumers to the oil and gas companies which have recorded record profits," she said. "So I think that there's a lot of good work being done right now to put together an affordability package." "Secondly, an anti-corruption package. You know, people have to feel that this issue of corruption is going to be front and center, because it has been costing money," she said. "People have been benefiting at the expense of, you know, everyday Americans, consumers, people who get up every day and try to make a living." The final step, she said, would be to do some investigations into DOGE's impact. CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE "We still don't even know the damage that Elon Musk did through DOGE," Clinton remarked. "We don't know what data was illegally taken, your social security data, your Medicare data … where is it? What's it being used for? We need to get to the bottom of this."

Nydia Velázquez, D-N.Y. Velázquez, who has held the seat since 2013 and has been a member of Congress since 1993, is retiring. The district’s strong Democratic lean made Valdez the favorite, and her victory marks another noteworthy win for the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in the 2026 midterms. MAMDANI-BACKED SOCIALISTS LOOK TO TAKE NEW YORK PLAYBOOK NATIONWIDE AFTER PRIMARY VICTORIES In the June primary, New York’s 7th District was seen as a proxy for the direction of the party. During that race, Valdez faced off against a crowded field of other congressional hopefuls. Among them was Antonio Reynoso, the Brooklyn borough president. While Valdez enjoyed the backing of the DSA and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a self-proclaimed socialist, Reynoso received support from more established Democrats — including the outgoing Velázquez. "It’s very nice to get to New York for a few years and to have opinions about other elected officials without knowing the history and the struggle and who was there fighting corrupt government," Velázquez told the New York Times ahead of the primary. JEFFRIES' SOCIALISM DILEMMA: NEW YORK VICTORIES EXPOSE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DIVIDE "Now, all of the sudden, people want to come in and decide who is the best candidate with total disregard to the history, the background." U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries didn’t endorse in the race, but surmised the divides at play in the race, noting the DSA’s break with many other New York Democratic figures, including Letitia James, the state’s attorney general. "Nydia Velázquez and a coalition of very progressive Democrats, including Tish James… along with the Working Families Party and many of the unions… are on one side of that race, with DSA on the other," Jeffries told reporters in June. Valdez based her primary platform on promises to abolish ICE and implement a Green New Deal-style approach to climate change. She also supports universal rent control and Medicare for All. Her platform attracted the backing of the DSA in January. DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN WARNS OF 'DANGEROUS' SOCIALIST AGENDA AFTER FAR-LEFT PRIMARY WINS "With this endorsement, Valdez’s campaign will be powered by the same volunteer army that propelled Mayor Zohran Mamdani to victory in 2025… Valdez is the only candidate running in NY-7 who has committed to not taking money from the real estate industry," the group stated in a press release. Democratic strategist Mally Smith told Fox News Digital, "It is not surprising she won given how blue that district is." "We are a big tent party and that means there are going to be some folks on the far left who win. But for us to win in competitive red or swing states we should nominate candidates like Roy Cooper and James Talarico," Smith added. Valdez isn’t the only DSA-backed candidate in New York to prompt considerations about the future of the Democratic Party. In a very similar primary race, Darializa Avila Chevalier, another DSA candidate, beat out incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-N.Y., a high-ranking Democrat and the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. The wins have captured national attention and drawn criticism from some Democrats who have criticized the DSA’s growth in the party. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who has not shied away from confrontations, has been one of the few Democrats to express alarm about the kind of candidates carrying the party’s banner. "I mean, you look at some of the things that people have said. Abolish prison, abolish the border, abolish ICE, I mean these crazy people — I have colleagues in my caucus that refuse to even call this out," Fetterman told Fox News Digital earlier this year.

Pelosi, 86, struck an unoccupied parked vehicle in Yountville on July 3 and left the scene, Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley announced Tuesday. The husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., pleaded no contest to misdemeanor hit-and-run and a traffic infraction for making an unlawful turn.

Young placed Pelosi on one year of probation and prohibited him from driving for six months, the maximum period allowed under the California Vehicle Code provisions cited by prosecutors. Young also ordered Pelosi to complete a 10-day work program and report to the Napa County Department of Corrections for booking only by Nov. 20. WATCH: PELOSI DODGES QUESTIONS ON HUSBAND'S NEW HIT-AND-RUN CHARGE Pelosi paid $11,191.14 in restitution to the vehicle’s owner as part of the plea agreement, according to the district attorney’s office. He was also ordered to pay court fines and fees. The July collision involved a parked Tesla, according to the criminal complaint previously reported by Fox News Digital. Pelosi was allegedly driving a burgundy Maserati convertible and left without attempting to identify the owner or leaving the information required under California law. PELOSI STAFFER PUMPS THE BRAKES WHEN PRESSED ON HUSBAND'S HIT-AND-RUN: 'THAT'S ENOUGH' Deputies later located Pelosi about a half-mile away.

TIGER WOODS SET FOR PLEA CHANGE HEARING AFTER DUI ARREST FOLLOWING FLORIDA ROLLOVER CRASH That conviction required him to attend a DUI education program and use an ignition interlock device, along with probation, restitution and fines. His driving history also includes a 1957 crash in San Mateo County that killed his 19-year-old brother, The New York Times reported. Pelosi was behind the wheel, but a jury cleared him of wrongdoing. More recently, Pelosi accumulated traffic infractions across four Bay Area counties, according to the Times. The outlet reported violations in Napa, San Mateo, Marin and San Francisco involving speeding, running a red light, driving against traffic on a one-way street and cellphone use without a hands-free device. Prosecutors said the public attention surrounding Pelosi’s case prompted the announcement, noting that misdemeanor hit-and-run cases involving only property damage generally do not receive a news release.

He pulled out a firearm and fired multiple rounds, striking that person and six others, according to police. Hages died at the scene. Investigators have not identified the intended target or said what led to the shooting. Smith fled within minutes, just as officers arrived, police said. As first responders treated the wounded, a school resource officer helped investigators identify the suspect. The officer recognized Smith as a former student while reviewing surveillance video from the store and immediately alerted detectives, according to police. That recognition helped identify him within hours of the initial 911 call, and detectives ultimately located him at a residence in neighboring Suisun City. Police initially withheld Smith’s name because of his age. The DA’s office later publicly identified him in its charging announcement. CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION SHOOTING KILLS TEEN, INJURES CHILD AND TWO OTHERS The FBI also assisted with the investigation, confirming to Fox News Digital that its Evidence Response Team helped Fairfield police process a portion of the crime scene. Along with the two murder counts, Smith faces three counts of attempted murder, three counts of assault with a semiautomatic weapon and multiple gun enhancements, according to the DA’s office. Prosecutors also filed a multiple-murder special circumstance allegation. The office announced that Smith’s arraignment and detention hearing was scheduled for Nov. 4 at 9 a.m. Its request to prosecute him as an adult requires a judge’s approval. Police have not identified the school involved in the earlier shooting or said when Smith was released in that case. In a Saturday update on the surviving victims, police said a 16-year-old boy, a 19-year-old man and a 32-year-old man were in critical condition, while a 23-year-old man was in critical but stable condition. Two other men, ages 19 and 43, had been treated for gunshot wounds and released. The department’s arrest announcement did not provide updated conditions. "Although an arrest has been made, our work is not over," Fairfield police said. "The criminal justice process will now move forward, and we remain committed to ensuring accountability for the lives impacted by this senseless act of violence." Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact Fairfield police at 707-428-7600 or email 1030mall@fairfield.ca.gov.

Juan Ciscomani is defending his seat from Democratic challenger JoAnna Mendoza in the district which covers parts of Pima, Pinal, Cochise, Graham and Greenlee counties and includes much of eastern Tucson, as well as communities in southeastern Arizona. .  Next door, Rep. Adelita Grijalva was expected to cruise to reelection in Congressional District 7, which spans the southwestern corner of Arizona, in a rematch with Republican challenger Daniel Butierez.  In the closely watched District 6 race, Ciscomani and Mendoza made a final push to voters on Tuesday. They spent the day canvassing and speaking to voters at poll sites around metro Tucson.

Franklin) Ciscomani visited several polling sites around the district and cast his ballot on Tuesday afternoon in Marana, joined by his parents, wife and other relatives, making his case to voters. “At the end of the day, what you want from a government elected official is to have results,” he told reporters outside the polls. “For four years I have been demonstrating and bringing in results, the role in the Appropriations Committee, these are things that add up and that actually make a difference for our community.” Mendoza, who voted early by mail, began her day in her hometown of Eloy, and then made her way to the Tucson metro area, campaigning with fellow Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly. She canvassed with supporters well into Tuesday afternoon.  “What we need to do is elect people who actually care about the people in their district,” she told Arizona Luminaria, “Who are actually going to take action, who are going to protect the Constitution and who are going to put a check on this administration.” Both candidates acknowledged the possibility that the race would not be decided by Tuesday night.  Ciscomani is seeking his third term But his victory margins illustrate how competitive the district has been since it was redrawn in 2022: Republicans, Democrats and independent voters each make up about a third of the electorate.  That year, Ciscomani beat Democrat Kirsten Engel by over 5,200 votes. He won their 2024 rematch by just under 11,000 votes.  “I feel like when the district is as tight as ours, it forces everyone to get out there and try to make sense of their positions,” Ciscomani said. “Which is what we’ve done to go out there and not only earn Republican votes, but definitely earn independent votes, and even some Democrat votes.” Mendoza is running for office for the first time, and said she was trying to stay in the moment and not think too far ahead.  “I don’t think there’s anything that could really prepare you for this,” she said. “It’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. The closest I would say is deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan.” For many voters casting a ballot on Tuesday, deciding who to support in the congressional election was just as important as casting a vote against the opposing candidate or party.  Susan Shoemaker, an Oro Valley resident voted Tuesday morning at the town’s public library. The registered Republican said she was motivated to vote in order to show her opposition to Democrats like Mendoza, who she felt were moving too far to the left. She voted for Ciscomani.  “I’ve met him before, I like what he stands for,” she said. “Everybody wants to lie about everybody, I feel he’s upfront.” Michael Prochnau of Tucson said the current administration’s handling of the economy, the war in Iran, and concerns over corruption, convinced him to vote down ballot for Democrats, including Mendoza. “Ciscomani really marches in step with the current administration, regardless of the issues,” he said. “I feel like Mendoza, while not bringing a ton of experience, I like her background, her stance on taxation and some of the immigration issues.” In 2022, the District 6 race was called after six days. In 2024, the race was called after eight days. District 7, which includes heavily Latino areas of the Tucson and Phoenix metro areas, is considered to be a safe Democrat district.  The post Ciscomani vs. Mendoza: Tucson-area House race could take days appeared first on AZ Luminaria.

Byron Donalds just made history as the first Black politician to win a gubernatorial election in Florida as Fox News Decision Desk projected the congressman winning Tuesday's election.  He is also the first Black Republican in the nation's history elected governor. Donalds, a three-term congressman from southwest Florida, defeated Democratic rival former Rep. David Jolly in a close race to win the Sunshine State's gubernatorial election, the Fox News Decision Desk projects. With his victory, the top House ally of President Donald Trump and MAGA champion with a growing national profile will succeed term-limited GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis in steering the nation's third most populous state. DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB Continuing and building upon DeSantis' conservative agenda was a key part of Donalds' campaign for governor. "The people of Florida love the trajectory set by Governor DeSantis. We're going to maintain that trajectory, and we're going to build it and take Florida to a whole new level," Donalds told Fox News Digital earlier this year. Donalds was endorsed by Trump in February of last year, before he even formally launched his campaign for governor. Donalds declared his candidacy for governor during an appearance on Fox News' "Hannity." SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER Backed by Trump, Donalds won nearly half the vote in Florida's August GOP gubernatorial primary. He topped a crowded field of rivals that included Lt. Gov. Jay Collins, former Florida House Speaker Paul Renner, and business executive James Fishback. Donalds made headlines in late September when some references to Trump, whose approval ratings have continued to decline, were scrubbed from his campaign website. A New York City native, Donalds moved to Florida to attend college. He worked in the finance, insurance, and banking fields before entering politics. A one-time Democrat, he became a Republican in 2010 amid the Tea Party movement. Donalds was elected to the Florida House in 2016, serving two terms before winning a seat in Congress. Jolly, a Florida native who served as a top advisor to then-Rep. Bill Young, also worked as a lawyer and a lobbyist before winning a special congressional election in March of 2014. He won a full two-year term to the House later that year before losing re-election in 2016. After leaving office he became a vocal Trump critic and a cable news political commentator. Jolly left the GOP in 2018 and became a Democrat last year before launching his gubernatorial campaign. During their showdown for governor, Donalds showcased anti-socialism messaging, repeatedly claiming that Jolly embraced "radical socialism." Firing back, Jolly told Fox News two weeks ago, "Byron Donalds is a liar. I've condemned socialism in the DSA [Democratic Socialists of America] hundreds of times, and he knows that." Florida was once the largest of the general election battlegrounds, but the state has shifted to the right over the past decade. DeSantis won his 2022 re-election by nearly 20 points and Trump carried the state by 13 points in his 2024 White House re-election victory. But despite Republicans enjoying a roughly 1.5 million registered voter advantage over the Democrats in the Sunshine State, Democrats are competitive again in Florida thanks to a rough political climate facing the GOP.

On Thursday night, the undrafted UConn product will go from simulating plays in his living room with his wife to making his first NFL start against the Jacksonville Jaguars. First-year Baltimore Ravens coach Jessie Minter confirmed that Fagnano, who has spent most of the season as the team’s No. 3 quarterback, will start Thursday night. It is unclear whether Tyler Huntley will serve as his backup after the veteran quarterback sustained an injury in the Ravens’ Week 8 loss to the Buffalo Bills. With his start in Week 9, Fagnano will become only the second undrafted rookie to start a regular-season game for the Ravens. "It's special," Fagnano said.

He practiced with a brace on his right ankle on Tuesday. "Every game you got bumps and bruises," Fagnano said. "It's just football, a physical game we play. It feels good, though."

Roy Cooper of North Carolina defeating former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Michael Whatley, a close ally of President Donald Trump. The high-profile and expensive ballot box showdown gives Democrats another seat in the Senate as Cooper prepares to succeed retiring GOP Sen. Thom Tillis. The race was projected as a victory for Cooper with 57.63 votes counted, with 66.40% going to the former Democratic governor and 31.96% going to Whatley. "North Carolina — I’m grateful for your trust," Cooper posted on X. "We have more in common than divides us. Here’s to building better days ahead!" Cooper's flipping of a GOP-controlled seat in the crucial southeastern battleground state boosts his party as Democrats aim to recapture the Senate majority in the midterm elections. DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee applauded Cooper's victory. "In the Senate, he’ll carry on the fight to expand health care access, make stuff cost less, and ensure the American Dream is achievable for every North Carolina," the DSCC posted on X. Cooper's triumph in the Senate race was his seventh straight statewide victory, after winning four elections for attorney general and two for governor. His continued solid lead over Whatley in public opinion polling spurred top GOP-aligned outside groups a month ago to pull the plug on spending in the North Carolina race. It was seen as a signal that Republicans no longer saw a path to victory in the southeastern battleground state. Trump, during a rally two weeks ago in North Carolina to try and rescue Whatley, appeared to acknowledge the dire situation, remarking to the crowd that Cooper is "going to become your senator... It’s crazy, you’re going to send him to Washington to represent you." SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER Cooper, the first Democrat to win a Senate election in North Carolina in nearly two decades, touted that he would be a "strong, independent senator" who would work with Trump when he could and stand up to him when needed. He focused on cost of living and health care issues as he campaigned for the Senate. Whatley, a North Carolina native who served as the state's GOP chair for five years before Trump picked him in March 2024 to serve as RNC chair, was a first-time candidate. He pledged to create jobs, raise wages, lower costs and keep communities safe. Whatley also said he would be a Trump ally in the Senate. Tillis, a vocal Republican Trump critic, announced in June of last year that he wouldn't seek re-election, which the president called "great news." After Tillis' announcement, Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, was at the top of the president's list for the open seat in the Tar Heel State. But Lara Trump, a North Carolina native who served as RNC co-chair alongside Whatley in 2024, announced that "after much consideration and heartfelt discussions with my family, friends, and supporters, I have decided not to pursue the United States Senate seat in North Carolina at this time."

The 43-year-old reality star faced scrutiny in May after TMZ reported that he had been staying at the luxury hotel despite appearing to suggest in a campaign ad that he was living in an Airstream trailer on the site of his California home, which was destroyed in the devastating Pacific Palisades fire. At the time, the outlet reported that Pratt had been staying at the Hotel Bel-Air for more than a month, though "The Hills" alum disputed that characterization, saying that he had spent no more than six days there during the previous month. SPENCER PRATT’S MAYORAL RUN BACKED BY PARIS HILTON, KRISTIN CAVALLARI AS CELEBRITY DIVIDE DEEPENS In a lengthy X post that he shared Tuesday, Pratt, who lost in the June primary election, defended his choice to stay at the pricey hotel during the race. "Why is he spending $1,200 a night? Why couldn’t he stay somewhere for $300 a night? Well, the answer to that question is not as pretty as any of us may like to hear," Pratt wrote. REALITY TV STAR SPENCER PRATT GAINS TRACTION IN LOS ANGELES MAYORAL RACE AFTER FIERY DEBATE "Most people simply presumed that I was being a bougie spoiled brat, and that I was abusing campaign funds," he continued. "They expected me to stay at a cheaper hotel, but what they don’t realize is…the Hotel Bel Air was the cheapest hotel in all of LA." "At the time, I couldn’t explain the math to people, and my campaign staff told me I wasn’t allowed to divulge the real reason I had to stay there, but now that the election is coming to a close, I don’t need to listen to anyone anymore," he added. 'ENTOURAGE' CREATOR BACKS SPENCER PRATT FOR LA MAYOR, SAYS CITY 'HAS COLLAPSED' UNDER CURRENT LEADERSHIP Pratt had previously told TMZ in May that Airstream had become unsafe, saying that the Bel Air Hotel's "armed security" made it "the only option." He claimed that supporters of his opponents, Mayor Karen Bass and City Councilmember Nithya Raman were "getting increasingly desperate and hostile" due to his performance at the May debate and strong polling numbers. "I can't talk about specific threats, but that lot is ... unsafe now," he said at the time. JIMMY KIMMEL ATTACKS FIRE VICTIM SPENCER PRATT AS 'SCREAMING JERK,' LECTURES LA VOTERS ABOUT MAYORAL ELECTION In his X post, Pratt, who ran as a Republican, elaborated on the threats that he received, which he attributed to political violence. "Throughout the campaign, I endured numerous death threats, to the point where I had to hire full-time security," he wrote. "Anyone who’s had to hire security knows that they will always tell you to not discuss your death threats; they find that it often has the opposite effect you would expect; normal people should hear it and think ‘whoa, we need to dial back the temperature, this isn’t acceptable’, but the reality is that commie street animals get inspired, and you will end up getting copycats if you advertise your threats." SPENCER PRATT VOWS TO LEAVE LA AND FIND 'LAST AMERICAN DREAM' IN ANOTHER CITY IF MAYORAL BID FAILS Pratt went on to detail specific incidents that he said led him to fear for his safety and that of his family. "People were breaking into my lot in the Palisades and leaving notes on the airstream with white powder in them," he wrote. DEM MAYOR FACES REALITY CHECK AFTER ACCUSING RIVAL OF 'EXPLOITING' PALISADES FIRE: 'ABSOLUTE TONE DEAFNESS' The TV personality also claimed that a "lunatic" who was "hellbent on tracking me down" charged at his young son while he was boogie-boarding in the ocean. Pratt shares sons Gunner, 8, and Ryker, 3, with his wife and former "The Hills" co-star Heidi Montag, 40. "So, I had to hire a second security detail for my family while I was away campaigning," he wrote. "I don’t know if you’ve ever had to hire 4-5 armed security professionals with blacked out SUVs, but…it’s not cheap. One of the first things they told me was that my lot in the Palisades was a security nightmare; perched mid-slope on a hill, totally exposed in a bowl, surrounded by elevated positions where a shooter could easily traipse through the wilderness of the State Park, and have a clear line of sight to every inch of my property." SPENCER PRATT: LOS ANGELES ANGRY WITH KAREN BASS’ MISMANAGEMENT "I wasn’t allowed to stay on that property, even if I wanted to," he added. "Enter the Hotel Bel Air." Pratt explained that the famed LA hotel, which has hosted celebrities, presidents and royalty, is an unusually secure property due to its design. PRATT CONCEDES LA MAYOR RACE WITH SCATHING VIDEO TEASING NEXT MOVE, BOMBSHELL INFO HE HOLDS: 'COMMIE ANIMALS' "While $1,200 a night isn’t very unique for a decent hotel in a major city, there’s something else about the hotel that is unique," Pratt wrote. "Unlike my turkey shoot of a lot in the Palisades, the Hotel Bel Air is surrounded with a fortress wall, with a single point of ingress, a fatal funnel that takes you over a moat, just to enter the property. You then must navigate a labyrinth of walled off bungalows, and it is very easy to get lost. Unlike normal hotels, it is a very secure facility." "When my security team dropped me off behind the walls of the Bel Air, they felt good about leaving me alone in the secure facility," he continued. "Had I stayed anywhere else, I would have needed to book out 3 rooms for my team to maintain overnight security, which would’ve cost an additional $3,000 per night. Paradoxically, by this calculation, I was actually saving a ton of money by staying at the secure Bel Air; even staying at a Motel 6 would’ve cost me more money, and in a campaign…money is everything." GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE Pratt claimed that threats of political violence disproportionately affect Republican candidates, arguing that the cost of protecting himself forced his campaign to spend money on security that his Democratic rivals could devote elsewhere. The reality star recalled that Raman appeared at a debate preparation event without visible security while he was accompanied by several armed officers. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

The state-level raise comes on top of her existing salary as president of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU), where public records show she earned just under $195,000, based on that figure and her newly reported IFT salary, her combined annual pay would total approximately $445,000. HOUSE GOP LAUNCHES PROBE INTO 5 MAJOR LABOR UNIONS OVER DEM SPENDING DESPITE MAGA MEMBERSHIP BASE The nearly 39% pay increase drew criticism from the Illinois Policy Institute, a free-market think tank. "The Chicago Teachers Union spends more money running itself than it does representing teachers. According to its own reporting, less than 19% of CTU’s spending went toward representation," Mailee Smith, vice president of policy and litigation at the Illinois Policy Institute, told Fox News Digital.  "Davis Gates’ raise reflects the same misplaced priorities seeping into the Illinois Federation of Teachers: more dues money going toward leadership compensation instead of serving members," she continued. Smith also criticized the disparity between Davis Gates' reported compensation and the salaries of classroom teachers. "Teachers look for support in their classrooms and representation at the bargaining table," Smith added. "A nearly 39% raise for a leader does not help with either of those, especially when the average Illinois teacher only makes a fraction of Davis Gates’ total combined annual salary of $445,000." Neither Davis Gates, the CTU nor the IFT responded to requests for comment from Fox News Digital. WATCHDOG REPORT EXPOSES TEACHERS UNION 'POLITICAL MACHINE' FUNNELING MORE THAN $1 BILLION TO LIBERAL CAUSES The compensation boost comes as Illinois schools face questions about student reading and math proficiency. According to 2024 results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) — often referred to as the Nation's Report Card — only 30% of Illinois fourth graders scored at or above the proficient level in reading. Among eighth graders, 33% scored at or above that benchmark. Chicago Public Schools' results also show significant proficiency gaps. In Chicago, 23% of fourth graders performed at or above the NAEP Proficient level in reading in 2024. Meanwhile, 60% of fourth graders scored at or above the NAEP Basic level in math, a slight increase from 59% in 2022 and up from 50% in 2003. The Illinois Policy Institute reported that 46% of Chicago Public Schools (CPS) students in grades three through eight met reading proficiency standards during the 2025-26 school year, according to data from the 2026 Illinois Report Card. Among CPS 11th graders taking the ACT, 44% scored proficient in reading and 28% in math, the institute reported. COREY BROOKS: CHICAGO SCHOOLS ARE FAILING KIDS AT THE ONE SKILL THAT CAN CHANGE THEIR LIVES The CTU has also drawn criticism over its political and social activism. The Washington Post editorial board previously criticized the union's emphasis on progressive social justice initiatives as Chicago students struggled with reading and math proficiency. Internal union documents previously reported by Fox News Digital also showed spending on progressive political causes. Smith said Illinois state and local leaders should prioritize classroom needs. "Illinois needs to put students and teachers first, while current leadership seems more focused on radical agendas and elevating their leaders," Smith told Fox News Digital. "It also follows a record of double standards: Davis Gates has demanded others pay their ‘fair share,’ but let her own utility bills pile up," Smith continued. "She chose private school for her own child while opposing scholarships for low-income families. Now she’s receiving a large raise right after local teachers rejected a dues hike to protect their paychecks." Chicago Public Schools also did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment on the district's testing results.

Gardner-Johnson on Tuesday following his suspension for spitting at an opponent. Gardner-Johnson's last moment in a Bills uniform came in the first half of their Week 6 win over the Las Vegas Raiders when he spat at center Tyler Linderbaum and tight end Brock Bowers just before halftime. The 28-year-old was ejected from the game. The Bills had their bye week in Week 7, and Gardner-Johnson served his suspension during the Bills' 36-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. During the bye week, head coach Joe Brady initially said Gardner-Johnson would remain in the starting lineup upon his return in Week 9. However, that changed, as Gardner-Johnson is no longer on the team, much less in the starting lineup.

As Americans flock to decide control of Congress as well as key gubernatorial and state legislative races on Election Day, Trump made it clear he remains confident in his ability to pursue the MAGA agenda even if his party loses legislative majorities. "I have the ultimate power — it's called 'veto,'" Trump told CBS News during a phone interview. TRUMP TAKES MIDTERM CAMPAIGN BLITZ TO HISTORIC STAGE FOR GRAND FINALE BEFORE ELECTION DAY Trump also cited Slaughter v. Trump, a Supreme Court ruling that allowed him to fire Rebecca Slaughter, a Democratic commissioner on the Federal Trade Commission, earlier this year before her term ended. "We won the Slaughter case, and the Slaughter case gives the president tremendous powers that it never had before," Trump told CBS News. "The presidency, our presidency, is considered a strong presidency," Trump continued. "You can do a lot." SENATE CONTROL IS A COIN FLIP — AND DEMOCRATS’ PATH RUNS THROUGH TRUMP COUNTRY Trump suggested that his veto power could force Democrats to come to the bargaining table. "Historically, you veto for a couple of months, and then they come and say, 'We've got to make a deal,'" Trump said.

Roy Cooper of North Carolina defeating former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Michael Whatley, a close ally of President Donald Trump. The high-profile and expensive ballot box showdown gives Democrats another seat in the Senate as Cooper prepares to succeed retiring GOP Sen. Thom Tillis. The race was projected as a victory for Cooper with 57.63 votes counted, with 66.40% going to the former Democratic governor and 31.96% going to Whatley. "North Carolina — I’m grateful for your trust," Cooper posted on X. "We have more in common than divides us. Here’s to building better days ahead!" DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB Cooper's flipping of a GOP-controlled seat in the crucial southeastern battleground state boosts his party as Democrats aim to recapture the Senate majority in the midterm elections. Cooper's triumph in the Senate race was his seventh straight statewide victory, after winning four elections for attorney general and two for governor. His continued solid lead over Whatley in public opinion polling spurred top GOP-aligned outside groups a month ago to pull the plug on spending in the North Carolina race. It was seen as a signal that Republicans no longer saw a path to victory in the southeastern battleground state. Trump, during a rally two weeks ago in North Carolina to try and rescue Whatley, appeared to acknowledge the dire situation, remarking to the crowd that Cooper is "going to become your senator... It’s crazy, you’re going to send him to Washington to represent you." SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER Cooper, the first Democrat to win a Senate election in North Carolina in nearly two decades, touted that he would be a "strong, independent senator" who would work with Trump when he could and stand up to him when needed. He focused on cost of living and health care issues as he campaigned for the Senate. Whatley, a North Carolina native who served as the state's GOP chair for five years before Trump picked him in March 2024 to serve as RNC chair, was a first-time candidate. He pledged to create jobs, raise wages, lower costs and keep communities safe. Whatley also said he would be a Trump ally in the Senate. Tillis, a vocal Republican Trump critic, announced in June of last year that he wouldn't seek re-election, which the president called "great news." After Tillis' announcement, Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, was at the top of the president's list for the open seat in the Tar Heel State. But Lara Trump, a North Carolina native who served as RNC co-chair alongside Whatley in 2024, announced that "after much consideration and heartfelt discussions with my family, friends, and supporters, I have decided not to pursue the United States Senate seat in North Carolina at this time."

Chris Pappas of New Hampshire will defeat former Republican Sen. John E. Sununu in a competitive and expensive swing state race. With 19.18% of the votes reported, Papas captured 60.6% compared to Sununu receiving 37.61% of the votes, according to Fox News Decision Desk. He will succeed retiring longtime Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen. The victory by Pappas, a four-term congressman, is a boost for his party as the race was viewed as a must-hold for the Democrats as they try to win back the Senate majority from the GOP in the midterm elections. Sununu, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump but kept his distance from the president, was aiming to return to the U.S. Senate after 18 years away. Sununu repeatedly argued that Pappas had "been in Washington for 8 years and hasn't delivered for New Hampshire." "He has attempted very little in Congress. He's accomplished even less," Sununu told Fox News Digital recently. And he charged that Pappas would be "a rubber stamp for the far left." DEMOCRACY 2026: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB But Pappas, noting that he's "been reelected three times in one of the toughest congressional districts in the country," told Fox News Digital "I work with people across the aisle, and I've been rated as one of the most bipartisan Democrats in the House." "I've worked across the aisle on fentanyl scheduling to make sure that fentanyl analogs are Schedule One and that we're able to stay ahead of the cartels and the drugs that they're pushing into this country. I challenged Joe Biden on the border." Pappas, a co-owner of the famed Puritan Backroom restaurant, which has been a family run business for over a century and is known for its chicken tenders and as a must-stop in Manchester for politicians, was elected to New Hampshire's five-member Executive Council before winning a seat in Congress. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER He defeated a far-left socialist rival by double-digits in the state's early September primary to capture the Democratic Senate nomination. Pappas and Democrats repeatedly anchored Sununu to Trump, whose approval ratings are well underwater in New Hampshire and around the country. But Sununu told Fox News Digital, "This election is about New Hampshire. It's about who's going to give New Hampshire the strong independent voice we need in Washington, and that will be me...this is a six-year term. Donald Trump will be out of office in two years, and the question I have for voters is who's going to lead the country and the Senate in the right direction for New Hampshire." Sununu spent six years in the U.S. House before winning election to the Senate in 2002, defeating then-Gov. Jeanne Shaheen. But he lost his 2008 rematch with Shaheen. Sununu enjoyed plenty of name recognition in New Hampshire as he bid to return to the Senate. His father, John E. Sununu, served six years as governor before heading to Washington, D.C., as then-President George H.W. Bush's White House chief of staff. And one of his younger brothers, Chris Sununu, recently served eight years as governor before taking a break from politics.

It was widely expected that would be the case, though, as the official top 25 rankings for the playoffs were released on Tuesday night. Of course, only 12 teams will be playing for the chance to win the national title when the rankings see its final call later this year. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The Hurricanes remain undefeated thanks to quarterback Darian Mensah, wide receiver Malachi Toney and running back Mark Fletcher Jr. getting the job done against Bill Belichick’s Tar Heels on Saturday night. It was no easy feat, though, as UNC gave their best shot in a back-and-forth second half until Miami finished the job. Behind Miami in the first rankings are No. 2 Georgia, No. 3 Utah, No. 4 Indiana and No. 5 Alabama, as the committee felt confident with its top five. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! It was a true roller-coaster for the reigning national-champion Hoosiers and head coach Curt Cignetti, who saw some miracles take place to keep them from getting upset by Minnesota at home on Halloween. The Golden Gopher’s Luke Drzewiecki shocked everyone in Bloomington when he drilled a 60-yard field goal to take a 16-13 lead with just 19 seconds to play in the fourth quarter. But Indiana had its own kicker, Paddy McAteer, match him with his own 60-yarder at the end of regulation to send the game to overtime, where the Hoosier escaped to move their record to 8-1. It was an interesting choice to have the Hoosiers in the top five considering its loss to Ohio State earlier this season, and struggling to get back to dominant wins, though their record indicates just one loss. Rounding out the top 12 teams are No. 6 Kentucky, No. 7 Texas, No. 8 UCLA, No. 9 BYU, No. 10 Ole Miss, No. 11 Notre Dame, and Ohio State is the 12th. However, they would fall out of the CFP if the season ended today, considering No. 25 Boise State, a Group of 6 team, would replace them with five conference champions guaranteed in the 12-team bracket. The Buckeyes especially were a team to watch how the committee viewed them. With backup quarterback Luke Fahey under center now as Julian Sayin is sidelined indefinitely with a serious throwing-arm injury, they fell to USC over the weekend, 30-18. USC came in at No. 20 in the initial rankings. These rankings will be changing in coming weeks, and all eyes will be on the Hurricanes facing Notre Dame on Saturday to see if that has any impact. The Fighting Irish are on the cusp at the moment, but a massive win over Miami would change their season trajectory. However, Notre Dame doesn’t have a win against a currently-ranked team, and there are no ranked teams in their remaining games after Miami, making this matchup a pivotal moment for the program. "They are a very good football team," CFP committee chair Hunter Yurachek, who serves as athletic director for Arkansas, said during ESPN’s rankings show. "But when you look at Notre Dame’s schedule, and the wins that they have versus the teams that are ahead of them, they don’t have that signature win right now." Teams on the bubble who are looking to improve their stock moving forward are No. 13 Tennessee, No. 14 LSU, No. 15 Texas Tech and No. 16 Wake Forest. Houston, Missouri, Iowa and USC round out the top 20, respectively, followed by No. 21 South Carolina, No. 22 Arizona, No. 23 Oregon, No. 24 Florida and No. 25 Boise State.

Jon Ossoff of Georgia has defeated Republican challenger Rep. Mike Collins. Ossoff, once considered by the GOP as the most vulnerable Democratic senator seeking re-election in the 2026 midterms, will now keep his job representing the southeastern battleground state in the U.S. Senate. He took an early lead in the race when polls closed on Tuesday night, which only expanded as the hours wore on. His victory means Georgia, a one-time red bastion that swung to the center in recent years, will continue to have two Democrats representing the state in the Senate. He's the second Democratic senator to hold his seat on Tuesday night after Sen. Mark Warning, D-Va., was also projected to win re-election. DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB Senate Democrats' campaign arm said in a statement upon his victory, "A workhorse for the people of Georgia, Senator Ossoff has spent the last six years in the U.S. Senate providing outstanding constituent services, standing up for children, and fighting to make life better. Georgians sent him back to the Senate because they know he will always show up for them – and now he’ll continue putting Georgia families first." Ossoff and fellow Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock were both elected in runoff elections at the end of the 2020 cycle, ending a decade and a half of Georgia's all Republican representation in the Senate. Weeks earlier, former President Joe Biden became the first Democrat to carry the state in nearly three decades. But Georgia shifted back to the right in 2024, with President Donald Trump reclaiming the state as he won re-election to the White House. At the start of the 2026 cycle, Georgia was atop the GOP's target list of seats to flip, as Republicans aimed to hold their 53-47 Senate majority. But while Ossoff built a massive campaign war chest as he cruised unopposed to renomination, Collins was part of a combustible three-way GOP primary Senate battle with Rep. Buddy Carter and former college football coach Derek Dooley, who was strongly supported by popular term-limited conservative Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. Collins and Dooley advanced to a June runoff, which Collins won thanks in part to an 11th-hour Trump endorsement. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER In the general election showdown, Collins made illegal immigration a centerpiece of his campaign, spotlighting the Laken Riley Act, which he authored. The law requires the detention of certain illegal immigrants who are arrested for, charged with, convicted of or admit to committing specified offenses. Ossoff voted for the measure but has criticized the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement tactics. Collins also accused Ossoff of supporting policies that drove up inflation and taxes, while the senator targeted Collins over his backing of Trump's tariffs and the war in Iran, which triggered a surge in gas and diesel prices and an overall rise in the cost of living. During their debates, Ossoff also put Collins on defense over a House ethics investigation into whether the congressman abused taxpayer funds by hiring the girlfriend of his former chief of staff for work she allegedly did not perform. Collins has insisted the issue is simply a "complaint" with no merit. Collins also faced heat over social media posts by his son-in-law — a social media influencer on the far right — that shared Nazi imagery and antisemitic conspiracy theories. Ossoff, meanwhile, faced questions over receiving campaign funds from Reid Hoffman, a venture capitalist whose name appeared in the Epstein files. While GOP-aligned outside groups initially spent big bucks to back Collins and make up for his massive fundraising deficit in his battle against Ossoff, the Republican spigot was cut back substantially in the final weeks leading up to Election Day. The move was a sign that many Republicans were giving up on their hopes of flipping the Senate seat in Georgia. Ossoff, whom pundits view as a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender, has repeatedly said he has "zero interest" in running for the White House next cycle. And in a debate with Collins last month he pledged to serve out his full six-year Senate term if re-elected. The senator, a Georgia native, served as a national security staffer and legislative assistant for Rep. Hank Johnson before working as managing director of an investigative documentary production company.

Gomez Mont, the former Mexican TV host, now finds herself sitting in a Florida detention center after ICE picked her up in Miami last month over an immigration violation. EX-CIA OFFICER FOUND WITH OVER $40M IN GOLD BARS PLEADS GUILTY TO $194M FRAUD That arrest capped years on the run from a separate $160 million fraud and money laundering case back home, which originally kicked off when Mexican prosecutors obtained arrest warrants for Gomez Mont and her husband, attorney Victor Manuel Alvarez Puga, back in 2021. Longtime NFL fans will undoubtedly remember Gomez Mont from Super Bowl week in 2008, right before the Giants famously wrecked New England’s perfect season. She showed up at Media Day in a wedding dress and veil, then proposed to Brady on live TV. He laughed it off and reminded her he was already with Gisele Bündchen. CANDICE SWANEPOEL: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT TOM BRADY'S VICTORIA'S SECRET MODEL GIRLFRIEND Fast-forward nearly two decades. Mexican prosecutors allege the couple ran a sprawling shell-company network tied to government contracts worth roughly $160 million, including prison system funds. The allegations include organized crime, money laundering and tax fraud. Once the warrants were issued, the couple left Mexico, with Gomez Mont hopping on social media to claim her innocence before the pair was eventually tracked down in South Florida. Mexican authorities kept up the chase. Officials say they requested her provisional detention for extradition in late 2025 and prepped a formal request with the Department of Justice. Alvarez Puga had already been picked up by ICE on immigration violations before posting bail, and his current location has been kept quiet.

As for Gomez Mont, she remains held at the Broward Transitional Center while her legal team fights back with a sealed habeas petition. A federal judge recently shot down her emergency request to block a transfer out of South Florida, though the court did order the government to explain why her petition shouldn't be granted. That leaves her balancing two separate legal tracks: her ongoing U.S. immigration detention and Mexico’s extradition request. Sidestepping that wedding proposal turned out to be Brady's easiest read of the week, and seven rings later, things worked out just fine.

Before the Seahawks’ 34-17 loss to the Chicago Bears at Lumen Field, four UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters from the U.S. Army’s 2nd Battalion, 158th Aviation Regiment, flew over the stadium. The only problem? The helicopters were nearly struck by some fireworks. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE The timing of the fireworks was off, as the fourth helicopter had not yet cleared the stadium when the fireworks went off. Video showed the fireworks nearly hitting the last helicopter of the four. The close call with the helicopters foreshadowed what turned into a rough night for the Seahawks. The 34 points the Seattle defense allowed were the most it had allowed all season. Bears star quarterback Caleb Williams threw for 237 yards despite the Seahawks not allowing a 200-yard passer in their first seven weeks. The Bears had 363 yards of offense, 62 more than their previous season high. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Just eight games after winning the Super Bowl, the Seahawks find themselves at 4-4. If the season ended today, they wouldn’t make the playoffs. In the loss to Chicago, the defense wasn’t the only unit to struggle. The Bears blocked a field goal on special teams and held the Seahawks to just 252 yards of offense, the second-lowest total for Seattle this season. In addition to all of that, Seattle botched its pregame fireworks, too. Overall, it was a Monday to forget for Seahawks fans.

Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., said during an interview Sunday that only a "spiritually sick" country would elect President Donald Trump twice, calling the president a symptom of a larger problem. Politico's Jonathan Martin asked Warnock if America needed a "spiritual rebirth" and Warnock said, "Absolutely." "I think Donald Trump is a problem. He's a serious problem for our country. He's a danger," the Georgia senator added. "He's symptomatic of a deeper problem. We — only a nation that is spiritually sick could elect Donald Trump twice. There is a brokenness." WARNOCK WARNS DEMS TO CUT THE 'JARGON' AND SPEAK 'PLAIN ENGLISH' WITH YOUNG MEN WHO FEEL LEFT BEHIND "And for people who think we just need to get through this moment so that we can get back to normalcy, if that is your diagnosis of where you are, you have missed where we really are," Warnock added. "It's only because so many people were being left behind in the first place that somebody like Trump could even get a hand on them." Warnock called the 2026 midterm elections an "inflection point," warning that if Democrats do not win, the 2028 election could be "theoretical." He declined to say whether he planned to run for president but called for a "robust debate" and a "real primary in 2028." The White House did not immediately return a request for comment. EVERYTHING TO KNOW ABOUT HOUSE AND SENATE CONTROL, BALLOT MEASURES AND 2026 ELECTION DAY POLL CLOSING RNC spokeswoman Emma Hall told Fox News Digital in a statement, "No one cares what this radical left-wing warrior has to say," adding that Warnock "supports abolishing prisons, police, and borders, and thinks Republicans are like dying snakes who should repent." During an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper in April, Warnock, who serves as the senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, was asked several questions about pastors who support Trump and argue he was put in office with a divine purpose. Warnock called the Trump administration "ungodly" and likened those leaders to Christians who used the Bible to defend slavery. "Yeah, they're wrong," he said, arguing the Black Church emerged to correct the "American heresy that somehow tried to reconcile the faith of Jesus to slavery."

The man was sailing from Astoria, Oregon, to Pago Pago, American Samoa, when contact with him was lost Aug. 20, the U.S. Coast Guard announced Friday. Authorities were alerted Oct. 24 that he was overdue, launching a search for him and his sailboat, the Willow Wind. TRAGEDY AT SEA LEAVES TEEN STRANDED ON OVERTURNED BOAT FOR NEARLY 3 DAYS IN FRIGID WATERS Three days later, the Coast Guard received an emergency beacon alert from the boat and sent aircraft and a cutter to search the area. Nearby ships were also asked to assist. "Watchstanders coordinated the launch of a Coast Guard Air Station Sacramento C-27 Spartan aircrew and diverted an HC-130 Hercules aircrew and the Coast Guard Cutter Robert Ward (WPC 1130), and requested assistance from nearby vessels," the Coast Guard said. A Coast Guard aircrew spotted the Willow Wind that evening about 460 miles off San Diego. The motor vessel Grand Orion reached the sailboat early the next morning, but rough seas initially made it too dangerous to rescue the man and his dog. TEEN BOATER FOUND CLINGING TO CAPSIZED VESSEL AFTER 3 GO MISSING; 2 BODIES RECOVERED Later that day, the Grand Orion crew was able to safely bring them aboard. The Willow Wind had damaged sails and was left drifting at sea. The following morning, a Coast Guard helicopter crew picked up the man and his dog from the Grand Orion about 170 miles west of Ventura, California. They were flown to San Diego, where the man was taken to Scripps Mercy Hospital for further evaluation.  The Coast Guard did not provide additional details about his condition. CRUISE VACATION TAKES FRIGHTENING TURN AS PASSENGER IS AIRLIFTED FROM SHIP "We are grateful to the merchant mariners and Coast Guard crews whose coordinated efforts brought this search to a successful conclusion," Coast Guard Cmdr. Jason Nguyen said in a statement. "This case highlights the importance of carrying emergency communication equipment and creating a float plan, so someone ashore knows your voyage plans." The Coast Guard could not immediately be reached by Fox News Digital for comment. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aea7ee8726b22deeb6aa3cb Trump admin puts alleged 'Decoy Dan' conspirators on notice in Alaska election spoiler probe te 2026-11-04T00:40:08.671Z Trump admin puts alleged 'Decoy Dan' conspirators on notice in Alaska election spoiler probe The Justice Department sent out more than 20 target and preservation letters as part of its investigation into Daniel J. Sullivan’s campaign for U.S. Senate in Alaska, two sources familiar with the investigation told Fox News Digital. President Donald Trump's DOJ launched in July its investigation into the retired schoolteacher suspected of being recruited as a spoiler candidate in the race against Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, earning him the nickname "Decoy Dan." A source familiar with the investigation said more than 120 subpoenas have been issued since the probe began this summer. The investigation initially focused on whether Daniel J. Sullivan’s candidacy was intended to confuse voters and undermine the fairness of the election. "This is a situation where everybody agrees that there is a FRAUD on the ballot," Attorney General Todd Blanche told Fox News Digital. "Everybody agrees that there is a man running that doesn't want to run, that doesn't expect to be senator, that is only running to confuse Alaskan voters." TIM SCOTT DECLARES ALLEGED 'DECOY DAN' PLOT A 'CRIMINAL OFFENSE' AS DOJ INVESTIGATION ROCKS ALASKA Last Thursday, the Trump administration issued more than 30 subpoenas in a 24-hour period following a New York Times report detailing alleged coordination between the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Democratic operatives and people connected to Mary Peltola’s campaign to recruit Sullivan, a source familiar told Fox News Digital. The New York Times first reported on Election Day that the Justice Department had issued the letter notifying individuals that they were under investigation and letters notifying individuals to preserve their communications and documentations. The report named Marc Elias, an election lawyer whose firm Elias Law Group has represented Peltola, and an official from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, as recipients of those notices. It is not clear who else has received comment preservation or target letters. TRUMP PROSECUTIONS UNDER BIDEN SET PRECEDENT FOR DOJ’S ALASKA ‘DECOY DAN’ PROBE, EX-FEC CHAIR SAYS President Trump has been highly critical of the alleged efforts of the Democratic Party to siphon voters away from Sen. Sullivan. His administration previously filed a lawsuit against Alaska officials to prevent them from certifying election results if it was deemed Daniel J. Sullivan may have cost Sen. Sullivan the election. That that lawsuit was tossed out by a federal judge Sunday. DOJ FACES ‘HEAVY LIFT’ IN ALASKA ELECTION APPEAL AS SEPARATE CRIMINAL PROBE CONTINUES "You had the Democrat Party headed up by Elias, their lawyer, who was a bad guy, very bad guy — should go to jail, in my opinion," Trump shared on "Fox & Friends Tuesday." "But you had the Democrat Party look all over Alaska for somebody named Sullivan." Trump also suggested that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer should be held "criminally responsible," as well. Sources familiar with the investigation shared with Fox News Digital that the letters were not sent exclusively to Democratic officials, but they would not give more information or provide specifics about who the recipients were or how many received target versus preservation letters. The letters were not sent out on Election Day. Alaska Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy argued this the state's nonpartisan primary system is to blame for allowing Daniel J. Sullivan to advance to the general election. Under Alaskan's election system, the top four finishers regardless of their party will advance. Daniel J. Sullivan did not run under any political party. "If this was a historical primary, a primary that our fathers and grandfathers had, this individual [retired schoolteacher Dan Sullivan of Petersburg] would not have gotten out of the primary," Dunleavy told Fox News Digital. The heightened focus in the Alaskan Senate race comes after the New York Times investigation last week, which followed with Alaska U.S. Attorney Michael Heyman officially announcing at a news conference Friday the investigation into Daniel J. Sullivan's campaign. Heyman did not say at the news conference what criminal charges are being pursued. "I'm not making any assumptions on whether a crime has been committed or not," Heyman said. "That's why we are conducting that thorough investigation." The Justice Department declined to comment on the ongoing investigation when reached by Fox News Digital. Fox News' Charles Creitz contributed to this report.

Ballot shortages were reported at polling locations in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland as voters headed to the polls Tuesday for the high-stakes 2026 midterm elections. In Linwood, Kansas, where voters were casting ballots in a closely watched Senate race as Republicans fight to maintain control of the chamber, a ballot shortage forced some voters to leave their polling place without casting a ballot after election officials failed to provide enough ballots to meet demand. TRUMP-BACKED SENATOR ADMITS GOP FACES NIGHTMARE SCENARIO IN STATE REPUBLICANS HAVEN'T LOST IN 90 YEARS One voter told the Kansas Reflector that her 18-year-old son left without voting after officials ran out of paper ballots. She said she saw another 10 to 15 people leave without casting ballots. Leavenworth County said in a press release the ballot shortage occurred due to an error in the number of ballots ordered. "The shortage was discovered early, and efforts to correct the mistake began immediately. We recognize the importance of ensuring that every eligible voter has the opportunity to cast a ballot. We sincerely apologize for this mistake and any inconvenience or concern it may have caused," said the release. FLORIDA POLLING PLACES IN 7 COUNTIES ARE MOVING LOCATIONS DUE TO FLOODING "The number of ballots needed was 1,000, the polling station received only 100. The situation has since been remedied since early this morning and voters are able to vote," Kansas Secretary of State communications spokesperson told Fox News Digital. In Chicago, voters encountered ballot shortages at several polling locations, prompting election officials to deliver additional ballots and direct voters to alternative voting centers, according to ABC7 Chicago. "There are several precincts for which the Board is printing and delivering extra paper ballots, and possible extra touch-screen voting machines. As far as we know, no voters have been turned away or unable to vote," the Chicago Board of Elections told the outlet. "It's not unusual for an election authority to have to supply additional ballots to a polling place if turnout is higher than anticipated," Illinois State Board of Elections Public Information Officer Matt Dietrich told Fox News Digital. "We've heard from voters that there are lines at some Chicago polling places but, again, that's not out of the ordinary in a general election," Dietrich added. In Brandywine, Maryland, voters faced long lines and delays Tuesday after Brandywine Elementary School, a polling location in Prince George’s County, ran out of paper ballots, according to local outlet WJLA. The school did not have correct ballots, which were later corrected, Prince George’s County Board of Elections administrator Wendy Honesty-Bey told local outlet The Banner. THE BATTLE FOR CONGRESS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. HERE'S WHAT'S AT STAKE ON ELECTION DAY "The State Board of Election's (SBE) mission is to ensure voting occurs. We, of course, conduct lessons learned after every election and will do so after this election. Once made aware of this situation, more ballots and supplies were deployed to the polling place," an SBE spokesperson told Fox News Digital. While ballot shortages may be gripping some polling precincts, voting machines in Westchester County, New York are rejecting paper ballots at polling locations throughout the county. "A change affecting a contest in one municipality required updated election programming, which was subsequently tested and deployed for early voting and for Election Day machines in that municipality," the county’s Board of Elections said in a statement. "However, Election Day machines elsewhere in the county continued to use the original programming and therefore could not recognize and accept the ballots being used for Election Day," the statement continued.

Nobody writes coverage, leaves the deductible blank and doesn’t account for possible losses. Yet that is how Democrats’ climate policies plan the grid. Every wind-and-solar plan prices building wind and solar, not the other costs they create: battery backup, transmission wires, substations, infrastructure and dispatchable power to keep the lights on when they don’t. They also don’t price what happens when our grids fail. Economists do have a number. It is called the value of lost load: the cost to families and businesses of power that isn’t there when they need it. A 2024 study for the Texas grid operator put it at roughly $35,000 per megawatt-hour for a one-hour outage. Wind can sell power for around $30 a megawatt-hour. Failing to deliver it can cost more than a thousand times that. Texas learned the lesson in February 2021. Winter Storm Uri caused at least 246 deaths and the state comptroller estimated the economic loss at $80 billion to $130 billion. Civil engineers put it as high as $300 billion. Uri was not just a wind and solar failure; their output dropped dramatically. The storm froze gas fields and coal plants, which increased their output by 500% because wind and solar weren’t there before tripping off. The more a grid leans on weather, the less room it has when the weather turns. Now run the numbers on a real project. Microsoft says the first phase of its Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, data center needs about 450 megawatts around the clock. The nearby Paris Solar-Battery Park has a battery that holds 440 megawatt-hours, less than one hour of that load. At the Texas figure, one hour of 450 megawatts going unserved is about $15.8 million. That is an illustration, not a forecast and the value per megawatt-hour falls as outages lengthen. But it shows the scale of what a plan leaves off the ledger. Carrying that load through five gray January days on batteries would take roughly 54,000 megawatt-hours, more than 120 Paris-sized batteries. The federal energy laboratory puts a four-hour battery system at $334 per kilowatt-hour in 2024 and $366 in 2026 in its high case. At those prices, the batteries alone total nearly $20 billion, before transmission, charging losses and replacement. The estimate predates the 2025 tariff changes. Germany shows how a dry spell plays out. A week-long Dunkelflaute, German for dark doldrums, hit in November 2024. Renewables fell to about 30 percent of supply and baseload power reached 145 euros per megawatt-hour, up from a typical 40, because electricity was in short supply. Germany kept the lights on by firing up natural gas and coal plants and importing an average of 10.5 gigawatts. The Midwest grid won’t get the same relief. When a cold, still week depresses wind and solar output across the region, its neighbors will be just as short of power. Because of climate ideology, we have been closing reliable, on-demand coal plants before their useful lives end and replacing them with intermittent wind and solar. This is leaving us short of electricity and driving up prices for everyone. This is the Democrats’ policies and they want to impose more climate policies on us forever. Then there are the wires. A Texas Public Policy Foundation analysis estimates Texans pay about $1 billion a year for transmission built to support wind and solar, nearly $15 billion since 2010. In the Midwest, Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) approved a $21.8 billion transmission package with regional cost sharing (socialization) to move wind power. Five state utility commissions challenged it in a federal complaint and their consultant put the benefits at $4.3 billion to $7.2 billion, well below MISO’s claim of up to $72 billion. The fix starts with a simple rule. Any plan that mandates a share of wind and solar, or retires a dispatchable plant, should show the cost of the whole system, not just the new wind and solar generation. It should also show the cost of failure when wind and solar don’t deliver, alongside the cost of building. A plan that prices the build without all the costs and the grid failures that become more likely with intermittency, is not a plan. It is a policy with a blank deductible and very high costs. Price the outage and the true costs first. Then build. Democrats complain about the “very high costs of gas,” but building out wind and solar won’t lower the price at the pump or reduce your electricity bills.

(Photo by Jerod MacDonald-Evoy/Arizona Mirror) The aircraft formerly used as Air Force One by President Donald Trump is currently stationed at Luke Air Force Base in Glendale for a two-day training.  The Boeing VC-25A has long served as the aircraft used by presidents when traveling, until Trump recently unveiled a new aircraft gifted to him by Qatar. This plane currently serves as one of the backup planes in the president’s fleet. The former Air Force One made a lengthy trip from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to Arizona to land at the Glendale Air Force base. Flight trackers show that, before the plane arrived in Arizona, it traveled first to Los Angeles, where it circled the city briefly.  A spokesperson for Luke Air Force Base said the trip and training had nothing to do with election day, citing the timing as a “coincidence.”  The aircraft is scheduled to depart on Wednesday after the crew conducts a “proficiency and currency training” at the base, according to Senior Master Sgt. Chad Usher.  Usher said that the aircraft is not carrying any “distinguished visitors” or VIPs during this time.  He also said he could not elaborate further on what all the training will entail.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aea732f726b22deeb6a9e2c Lane Kiffin says he's 'sad' about changes to LSU-Alabama rivalry, tells LSU fans to 'start drinking' early te 2026-11-03T23:50:07.903Z Lane Kiffin says he's 'sad' about changes to LSU-Alabama rivalry, tells LSU fans to 'start drinking' early One of the many side effects of conference realignment and the advent of the College Football Playoff has been the decline of importance placed on traditional rivalries. An obvious example of this is the pause currently underway of the "Greatest Intersectional Rivalry" in college sports, the long-standing game between the USC Trojans and Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Both schools had some clear reasons for declining to schedule each other in 2027, with SC now in the Big Ten Conference, and sure enough, the rivalry won't be played until 2030 at the earliest. But even within conferences, the supersized alignment and desire to align all teams around a nine-game schedule has created necessary changes. Even with one of the sport's best rivalries in recent seasons: the Alabama Crimson Tide vs. the LSU Tigers. NOTRE DAME CAVES, LIVES UP TO MARCUS FREEMAN'S PROMISE AS USC RIVALRY GAME IS OFFICIALLY BACK This weekend, the two teams meet in Baton Rouge, with tremendous College Football Playoff implications. Both teams enter at 6-2, and while it's possible, if not likely, that a three-loss team gets serious consideration for a spot in the tournament, the losing side won't feel great about their chances to recover. It's a huge game for this year's postseason. And it's also the last of 63 consecutive seasons where Alabama and LSU have faced off. The Tide and Tigers will play again in 2028, but the current format of the SEC's future schedules means they won't play each other every year moving forward. LSU head coach Lane Kiffin isn't a fan of that arrangement, blaming the influence of "money" in the sport for the change in tradition. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE "I think that's just sad," Kiffin said. "And I understand, so I'm not being critical. All the decisions, usually, I think all of them probably really come down to money, whether that's the realignments, whether that's the rivalries. So, I think it's all sad in general in the big picture of things that money drives to make [changes to] such great traditions and rivalries. "And there's really good things that have changed in college football over the years, but there's also a lot that I think myself and a lot of people wish that they were the way that they were, rivalries and conferences the same. And so unfortunately it's where we are that really doesn't seem like much is going to be protected when it comes to TV contracts and money and other people's ideas." Kiffin's right; money is the driving factor in all college football decisions these days, and many traditional aspects of the sport have, and will be, upended as administrators and officials look to find every last available dollar. Like some coaches who say, bolt a job after having some success for a bigger payday at another school. But it's an unavoidable consequence of push to standardize scheduling as much as possible. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER Speaking of scheduling, while Kiffin was right to lament the changes to the rivalry, he was a bit, uh, forgetful, when talking about the time of day for this year's Alabama-LSU game. While the atmosphere for night games at LSU is legendary, this year's contest will be played at ... 2:30 p.m. local time. Not an unusual starting time for a college football game, but not the late-night advantage LSU fans and their head coach would be hoping for. Kiffin had a message for Tigers fans, and some advice on how they could prepare for the earlier than normal start time. On Monday, he said in a news conference that the noise during the Bama-Tennessee game clearly affected their offense, which he believes could be duplicated at Death Valley. "Tennessee supposedly set the noise record against Alabama, which you can see in that game effecting Alabama’s offense," he said. "That was a 2:30 central kick." The noise, he continued, could help their players out. As for how to generate noise earlier in the day? He had an answer for that too: "start drinking earlier." "We want our players to play well," Kiffin said. "We want out coaches to play well. If you are used to 6:30, four hours earlier, start your day earlier. "Have breakfast earlier. Start drinking earlier, whatever is your routine, just move it up. "Go to bed earlier Friday night." As if Tigers fans need any encouragement. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Kiffin went on to complain further about the start time, saying that the Tigers-Tide matchup has always been at night. "Especially in 16 years, this game has been at night here all the time," he said. "I never even considered that it wouldn’t be at night. So, I guess that’s probably naive of me." Interestingly, while still with Ole Miss a few years ago, he had an opposite perspective when it comes to SEC scheduling, saying, "LSU gets to play at night again, I guess? Shocker. That’s two for two for them. I feel bad for our fans not having one night conference game." Well, well, well, how the turn tables. Time of day might be a bit of an advantage, and in a game expected to be as evenly matched as this one, any advantage helps. But Kiffin's first season rests on getting a big win in a tough rivalry game, which is why he's started with the excuses already. That tradition will never change, no matter how much conferences change.

Crowds milled in and out of the voting center and most people reported the process as efficient and easy.  Province residents Tim and Robin Werth said they went to their local polling station instead of sending in their mail-in ballots because they prefer in-person voting.  “We were in-and-out,” Tim said. “[It was] super easy.”  The couple sent their ballots in by mail once, but the weight of wondering if their votes were counted made them prefer the assurance of voting in-person.  “We just like going in-person. We always do,” Robin added.  Voters leaving the Province polling site on Nov. 3, 2026. [Karen Bartunek]Kevin Gusse and Gaby McVey, the husband and daughter of Arizona State House candidate Julia Gusse, said they saw a lot of foot traffic across Maricopa polling stations as they canvassed.   “But, by far, Province and Villages have been the busiest,” Kevin said.  At Copper Sky Multigenerational Center, a majority of people exiting the polls reported sending in or dropping off mail-in ballots. The same went for voters at a location in the Villages.   Hidden Valley resident Robin Davis said she voted early to free up her day to represent the Pinal County Republican Committee at the polling station. She also cited the recent flooding across Arizona and the need for emergency voting centers as reasons to vote early.  “In case you get hung up on election day, or something happens, vote early. Get it done,” Davis said.  The post Across Maricopa, voters took different routes to cast their ballots appeared first on InMaricopa.com.

Rogan said he believed the left was "much more loony" than the right because a large portion of the left has embraced secularism. "Like when you think about the left, you generally don't think about like Christianity or any religion really. It's more of like a science-based like, ‘We're too smart for that thing.’ And I think they're just lost," Rogan said on his podcast. "There's no moral scaffolding to hold on to." TALARICO DISMISSES PAST COMMENTS ABOUT GOD AND GENDER AS 'PROVOCATIVE' WHILE INVOKING CHARLIE KIRK Rogan went on to argue that having a shared code like the Ten Commandments and showing humility toward a higher power are good for society. He said that for many liberals, far-left political ideology has become their new religion, to the point where they try to inject their liberal beliefs into traditional Christianity. "Another thing that's interesting with the religious thing when it comes to the left is there's been this larger than normal presence of these, like, LGBT pastors and these people that are promoting a very different Christianity," Rogan said. "They're talking about things that, you know, biblical scholars are like, ‘Hey, wait, what page is this on? What? Where does it say abortion's OK? Like, how are you getting to that? Where does it say God's non-binary?’" "You know, there's a lot of this weirdness — that this woke weirdness that sort of entered into religion and some pastors are doing it. And you go, ‘OK, is that good?’ I don't know if that's good," he said. "Because you're not following the original stuff." Rogan went on to say that if anything in the Bible is due for a modern reckoning, it would be biblical passages about slavery and genocidal warfare first, long before people try questioning God’s gender identity. EXPERT TEARS APART TALARICO'S VIRAL CLAIM HIS AGENDA IS BASED ON JESUS'S TEACHINGS: 'BUTCHERING THE BIBLE' His guest, "Triggernometry" co-host Francis Foster, agreed, recalling his Catholic upbringing and comparing it with a more modernized Church of England service. Foster said that if one is going to be religious, you want "the real deal," a faith that takes itself seriously. "You want to hear the Latin!" Rogan said. "You want the good stuff," Foster continued, noting that a genuine religion needs a sense of moral consequences for bad deeds and saying, "You want to sit there and think to yourself, ‘F---, I'm going to hell, and it's going to be awful.’" CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE Bishop Robert Barron, founder of Word on Fire and Bishop of Winona-Rochester in Minnesota, told Fox News Digital he largely agreed with the substance of Rogan's take. "For the past several decades, various forms of liberal Christianity have compromised the doctrinal content of the faith, first turning the great dogmas into vague symbols and subsequently evacuating them completely in favor of the progressive political agenda," he said. "The test is whether someone can honestly and with enthusiasm subscribe to the Apostles’ Creed. Does he believe in God, in the divinity of Jesus, in the power of the Holy Spirit, in the objective truth of the Resurrection? If not, he is using classical Christianity as a smokescreen."

His death was confirmed Tuesday, one day after the beloved athlete was critically injured in an in-game collision. De Miguel’s career followed a path familiar to many professional soccer players. He worked to make a living from the sport, moving from club to club throughout Spain’s lower divisions. Born in Madrid in 1996, De Miguel began his career with Leganés’ reserve team in 2015. The striker went on to play for several clubs in and around the Spanish capital. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE De Miguel’s most productive season came after he joined Castellón in 2023. His 16 goals helped the club earn promotion to the second division. After struggling to score in the second tier, De Miguel left mainland Spain in the summer of 2025 for Tenerife in the Canary Islands. Back in the third division, he scored six goals in his first five games and finished with 11, helping the blue-and-white club earn another promotion. ARGENTINE SOCCER PLAYER LUCAS TREJO LOSES WIFE, TWO CHILDREN IN VENEZUELA EARTHQUAKE BUILDING COLLAPSE: REPORT Left-footed and 6-foot-2, De Miguel was a traditional striker who made his living competing for balls in the air. On Monday, he was sprinting through the middle of the field at Tenerife’s home stadium, chasing a long pass from a teammate in stoppage time of a 2-2 draw with FC Andorra. That was when De Miguel was blind-sided by the Andorra goalkeeper rushing out of his area. FORMER ARSENAL GOALKEEPER ALEX MANNINGER DEAD AT 48 AFTER CAR STRUCK BY TRAIN AT RAILROAD CROSSING De Miguel crashed to the ground, curled onto his knees and flopped over on his back, his arms at his side. He suffered cardiac arrest and passed away the following morning in hospital. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! De Miguel was 30 and is survived by his daughter, who was born last year, and her mother. Former teammate Fernando Román wrote on social media that he was devastated by the death of a friend he described as "humble, hard-working … above all a good person." Tenerife said Miguel’s body would be transported to Navahermosa, in the Toledo province, at the request of his family, and his teammates and club officials would be present for a "final farewell." "We need to give Demi the tribute he deserves," said Tenerife president Felipe Miñambres. "And from that point on we will always carry him in our hearts." Spanish police have opened an investigation into the circumstances surrounding De Miguel’s death, including whether the collision could constitute involuntary manslaughter. The case is under judicial supervision, and Spanish law requires an investigation into deaths from non-natural causes, including accidents. Santa Cruz de Tenerife chief prosecutor José Luis Sánchez-Jáuregui told the Spanish news agency EFE that criminal proceedings appeared unlikely because the collision occurred during play. He added that authorities must first consider the referee’s report and the findings of the sports disciplinary committee. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Pike, 50, is currently in solitary confinement in the infirmary at the Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Center in Nashville as she recovers from the execution attempt. In her court filing, Pike argued that her severe physical weakness leaves her vulnerable and unable to protect herself if returned to her previous unit, the New York Post reported. CHRISTA PIKE'S EXECUTION DOCTOR SAYS MISPLACED IV SENT LETHAL DRUGS INTO HER ARMS INSTEAD OF VEINS "This pod houses inmates with significant histories of assaults and disciplinary problems," the motion states. "In my two years living in this pod… I witnessed multiple assaults by close custody inmates of other inmates and guards, multiple individuals who were undergoing acute psychological breakdowns, and significant danger." Pike emphasized her inability to handle potential threats. "In my current physical condition, I could not defend myself or get away if another inmate attacked me," she wrote. "I am afraid that I will be seriously hurt if I am moved to that pod while I am this weak." CHRISTA PIKE DISCHARGED FROM HOSPITAL, RETURNED TO PRISON AFTER BOTCHED EXECUTION, ATTORNEYS SAY The motion further states that returning to her prior housing unit poses a "high risk of infection and further injury" due to unsanitary conditions, specifically noting that she would be forced to clean and use an alleged "roach-infested shower" on her own while still recovering, according to the Post. Pike was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, a fellow participant in a Job Corps training program in Knoxville. In 2001, she received an additional conviction for the attempted murder of another inmate. DEATH ROW KILLER CHRISTA PIKE DESCRIBES WAKING UP AFTER EXECUTION SHE NEVER EXPECTED TO SURVIVE Poised to become the first woman executed in Tennessee in more than two centuries, Pike survived after two doses of the lethal injection drug pentobarbital failed to kill her during the Sept. 30 execution attempt. Following the failed procedure, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee issued a temporary halt on all executions pending an investigation.

When your boss is Jerry Jones, head coach Brian Schottenheimer would be especially wise to listen. Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver George Pickens was on the field for just 42 of a possible 74 snaps, the lowest percentage of snaps he has played in a game as a pro outside of last season's regular-season finale, which was a meaningless game. Pickens had just four targets in the Cowboys’ 33-30 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, and that’s not enough for Jones. "He needs the ball coming his way more," Jones said during an appearance on 105.3 The Fan. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE "And there’s your good case, you say ‘What can you do differently than we did out there the other day?’ We get the ball in that direction more and we press that." Jones said the team had a "firm" game plan to run the ball, yet they ran it with little success. As a team, the Cowboys ran the ball 39 times for just 93 yards, and the lack of success on the ground surprised the Cowboys owner. "The Arizona defensive line is to be commended. They did not have that reputation to have that kind of game they had against us. So, that’s one of the frustrating things about that game," Jones said. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Pickens was certainly frustrated after the game, as he sprinted down the tunnel to the Cowboys’ locker room immediately after the Cardinals hit the game-winning field goal in overtime. The drop in targets came after Pickens had only six targets in the Cowboys’ win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7. Through eight games, Pickens has 39 catches for 533 yards and two touchdowns. That production is far behind what he produced last season, when he had 93 catches for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns. Making the lack of targets for Pickens more frustrating for Jones is Pickens’ salary. Under the franchise tag, Pickens is making $27.289 million. Jones was hoping that Pickens and Lamb would once again be one of the top wide receiver duos in the league and serve as the engine for a playoff team. Instead, the Cowboys are 3-5, and fans are wondering if Jones could consider trading Pickens for future assets, as he is a free agent at the end of the year. Jones would like to see the Cowboys – and Pickens – get back on track when they play the reeling Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.

Zakary Dean Hirschfield, 24, of Centennial, received a five-year prison term after pleading guilty to felony eluding of a peace officer following the January pursuit through Douglas County, authorities said. Video released by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office captures the nighttime escape, the pursuit through traffic and the moment deputies finally took Hirschfield into custody. REPEAT OFFENDER BUSTED AGAIN LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER RELEASE IN BRAZEN JEWELRY STORE THEFT CASE: POLICE District Attorney George Brauchler said Hirschfield should have been locked up before he ever hit the gas. "This case highlights the ripple effects of decisions made by other law enforcement agencies who had opportunities to lock this guy up before this dangerous episode," Brauchler said. The pursuit began when a Douglas County sheriff’s deputy pulled Hirschfield over for speeding in Castle Pines. During the stop, Hirschfield suddenly accelerated toward the deputy, forcing the deputy to jump out of the way to avoid being hit, authorities said. Video of the stop shows a deputy standing beside the vehicle before it abruptly pulls away. The deputy moves clear as the vehicle speeds down the residential street.

WATCH: DEPUTIES HUNT WANTED MAN THROUGH CORNFIELD AFTER HIGH-SPEED CHASE CAUGHT ON CAMERA Dozens of deputies, specialized units and aerial resources joined the search, with drones and a K9 tracking Hirschfield through a Littleton neighborhood. Thermal drone video shows a person moving through an area with trees and brush as the aerial camera follows from above. COPPER THEFT SUSPECT'S DESPERATE ESCAPE CAUGHT ON BODYCAM VIDEO BEFORE DEPUTIES DISCOVER WHAT HE LEFT BEHIND About an hour after the initial traffic stop, deputies found Hirschfield beneath a porch, wearing only his underwear, authorities said. Body camera video shows deputies approaching a raised wooden structure with flashlights, then restraining the shirtless Hirschfield on the ground with his hands behind his back. "Put your hands behind your back, behind your back," a deputy orders as officers restrain him. A search of his vehicle turned up cocaine and drug paraphernalia, authorities said. "Don’t run from our deputies. We will catch you and hold you accountable," Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly said. "This defendant learned that the hard way and is now headed to prison. Putting our deputies and the public at risk will not be tolerated in Douglas County." The chase followed a series of earlier court decisions that Brauchler pointed to in criticizing Hirschfield’s repeated releases. FENTANYL DEATHS COULD NOW COST DRUG DEALERS THEIR LIVES UNDER NEW GOP PROPOSAL In November 2024, an Arapahoe County judge gave Hirschfield probation and community service after a plea agreement resulting in a conviction for attempted distribution of fentanyl, according to prosecutors. His probation was revoked less than three months later, but he was placed back on probation in June 2025. Another motion to revoke his probation was filed Aug. 19, 2025, the same day he was released without having to post cash bail in Jefferson County on a new felony robbery charge, prosecutors said. Five months later, he led deputies on the high-speed chase. "This defendant put countless lives at risk that evening," Deputy District Attorney Zach Idris said. "Thanks to the efforts of the Sheriff’s Office, Hirschfield will now spend several years in the Department of Corrections, where he will have plenty of time to think about his reckless actions that put him there." Brauchler closed with a blunt warning. "Commit your crimes somewhere more forgiving, or heck, maybe don’t commit them at all."

The helicopters were identified as an Air Dynasty aircraft and a Fishtail Air aircraft, the aviation authority said. Two foreign tourists were aboard the Fishtail Air helicopter. One of them, 47-year-old Vasanth Kumar Balaramudu of Chennai, India, died in the accident, according to CAAN.

This year, voters in 36 states will elect governors with at least a dozen races characterized by analysts as competitive. (Photo by Ross Williams/Georgia Recorder) While much of the national attention on today’s midterm elections has focused on control of Congress, voters across the country will also choose which party controls the levers of state power.  Across the states, more than 6,000 legislative seats are up for grabs, leaving the partisan control of numerous chambers hanging in the balance.  And voters will choose governors in 36 states. Only a dozen of those races are considered competitive by independent analysts, but Democrats have a shot at winning control of a majority of governorships for the first time in 16 years. Midterm elections generally favor the party that doesn’t control the White House. Voters’ growing disapproval of President Donald Trump and frustration over high prices has given Democrats a shot at not only flipping control of Congress but also making major gains in state governments, where Republicans have held a majority of governors and legislative chambers since 2010. “For the most part the Republicans are kind of playing defense more than offense,” Katy Owens Hubler, director of elections and redistricting at the National Conference of State Legislatures, told Stateline earlier this election cycle.  Currently, Republicans boast a 26-24 gubernatorial advantage over Democrats. The math could change depending on the outcome of today’s elections, particularly as Democrats are competing closely in some reliably conservative states. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, which ranks the competitiveness of state and national races, identified a dozen races for governor considered competitive this cycle. Those include: Alaska, Georgia, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Texas and Wisconsin.  In recent weeks, Cook moved its ratings of the Florida and Texas governor races from Likely Republican to Lean Republican. That means the GOP candidates are still favored in those states, but “given the grim political environment for the GOP,” the analysts could not rule out an upset in one or both states.   Democrats’ improving prospects are evidence of the broader political challenges facing Republicans across the country, said Mark Jones, a political science professor at Rice University in Houston. “It’s a rebuke of the Trump model, and especially the Republican Trump model,” he said. “But it’s also something that isn’t uncommon for midterms.” In states such as Alaska, Georgia, Florida, Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio and Texas, a Democratic governor could reinvigorate the left, which has struggled to compete with the GOP’s grip on state power, providing a new check on Republican lawmakers.  Experts say Democratic control of more governor’s offices could mean more bipartisan compromise — or gridlock — in state capitols, depending on which party controls the legislature. In Nevada, a Democratic governor could initiate a new era of policymaking: Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo has vetoed more than 160 bills approved by the Democratic-controlled legislature during his term. Democrats are also aiming to flip hundreds of state legislative seats this cycle. Republicans currently boast control of 28 state legislatures and Democrats control 18, while three states have divided control of chambers, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Since President Donald Trump’s second term began, Democrats have flipped a dozen seats in special elections in Arkansas, Iowa, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Texas, according to tracking by the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, which works to elect Democrats at the state level. They also flipped another 18 seats in last year’s general elections in New Jersey and Virginia.  Heather Williams, president of that organization, has repeatedly characterized 2026 as “a once-in-a-generation opportunity” to transform state legislative power for the party. The outcome of gubernatorial and legislative races will undoubtedly affect local policymaking in upcoming legislative sessions. But both parties have identified control of congressional redistricting as another prize up for grabs this cycle. Set off by a White House push to give Republicans more seats in the U.S. House, 10 states have completed middecade redistricting — a phenomenon unseen since the 1800s. “We know Democrats and their national allies will continue to pour millions into state legislative races because they understand what’s at stake: the legislators elected in 2026 will shape redistricting and the balance of power for years to come,” Republican State Leadership Committee President Edith Jorge-Tuñón, said in a July statement to Stateline.  Stateline reporter Kevin Hardy can be reached at khardy@stateline.org.  This story was originally produced by Stateline, which is part of States Newsroom, a nonprofit news network which includes Arizona Mirror, and is supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c(3) public charity.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aea5719726b22deeb6a9508 Up high, down low, too slow: ASU women’s hoops opens season in dominating fashion te 2026-11-03T21:50:17.541Z Up high, down low, too slow: ASU women’s hoops opens season in dominating fashion TEMPE – Monday night brought with it no shortage of question marks about the Arizona State women’s basketball team in its season opener against Jackson State. With just four returning players, all eyes were on both ASU’s premier group of transfer-portal additions and its class of high school recruits which are being counted on to fuel the momentum built in the program by  coach Molly Miller during her first season in 2025-26. Despite the uncertainty, the Sun Devils won 84-41. In the opening minutes, self-inflicted wounds caused ASU to fall to an early 11-2 deficit but no panic ensued. The usually animated Miller even took an early seat for a couple of possessions, before heroes swooped in to turn the game for the Sun Devils. “We know it’s going to be a little bit tight, first time in front of a crowd,” Miller said. “The nerves were there. We needed to over-communicate in that first quarter, and I think that’s where our lapse was. But (I’m) really proud that they never tucked their tails.” The returners, all familiar with Miller’s system, gave the Sun Devils offensive life after they trailed early – notably forwards Heliosa Carrera and McKinna Brackens. “Our main thing in games is to dominate in the paint,” Carrera said. “Me and McKinna being able to do that is going to help the team. Just being able to work in and outside of the 3-point line, it’s great for our team.”   A 13-0 run ensued for Arizona State, which quickly reclaimed the lead, and the Sun Devils never took their feet off the gas. The entire first quarter came and went with the two forwards scoring ASU’s only points. Carrera led the way with 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the field. She ended the night with 15 points and nine rebounds, while Brackens added 14 points and eight boards. “I think Brackens is someone that they’re going to focus on,” Miller said. “Circle, highlight, star and scout. But now you got to worry about all our guards.”  When the lead became sizable, Miller leaned on the depth of her roster, including some of the newcomers, to continue the dominance.  The approach was evident in the performance of freshman guard Averie Lower, who finished with 15 points and made five 3-pointers in her collegiate debut. Despite missing her first four attempts from beyond the arc, Lower never hesitated to let another one fly and finished the game 5-for-12. Arizona State women’s basketball coach Molly Miller directs her players during ASU’s season-opening victory at Desert Financial Arena. (Photo by Richie Meno/Cronkite News) “I just had to have confidence in myself and trust that the next ones are going in because I can never doubt myself, or it’ll go downhill,” Lower said. Miller said that mentality is exactly what the coaching staff wants from the freshman, emphasizing that shooters need to keep shooting regardless of how the previous attempt went. “She missed the first three, I believe, but she’s got that shooter’s next-shot mentality,” Miller said. “I don’t care how many (you) miss in a row. If it’s three in a row, I think the fourth’s going in.” Miller’s squad also finished with 51 rebounds, including 20 offensive boards, and recorded 26 assists on 12 turnovers allowed. The largest lead of the night was an astounding 47 points. Miller emphasized the importance of aggression when discussing the Sun Devils’ defensive identity.  “Every 50-50 ball is 100% ours,” Miller said. “If there’s a ball bouncing on the ground, we’re going to go get it and we’re going to come up with it.” For Carrera, the opening performance offered a glimpse of what the group can accomplish as its chemistry continues to develop. “Everyone improved a lot,” Carrera said. “Seeing that we can do amazing things together when we execute, when we play defense, when we get stops, it’s something that’s going to be really good for the season.” With a new-look roster beginning to settle into Miller’s system, ASU’s season opener provided an early indication that its offensive and defensive identities will be more team-oriented than ever.  Up next, the Sun Devils host Northern Arizona University on Salute to Service night at 6:30 p.m. MST Thursday.

Hard Rock Bet is offering new users the chance to bet $5 and get $500 in No Sweat Bets, with a token waiting for you every day for 10 days. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl against Connor Hellebuyck is the best matchup of the night. Hellebuyck is 2-0-0 with a 1.50 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage since joining New Jersey, which is why the Devils are home favorites. Edmonton counters with Tristan Jarry, who has two shutouts but a .901 save percentage. The Devils won the last meeting 2-1 in January, and the books are expecting another tight game with the under juiced at -125. That’s exactly the kind of game where the puck line matters.

Asked about the crash occurring less than 10 miles from President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and any potential connection to Secret Service operations, National Transportation Safety Board member Tom Chapman dismissed a link. "There is no evidence of connection. Purely coincidence," he said. FORMER NFL STAR SAYS HE PREVIOUSLY FLEW ON PRIVATE JET THAT CRASHED IN FLORIDA: 'ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED' Most of the Learjet 60’s left elevator was recovered between 1.3 and 3.8 miles from the crash site in Palm Beach County, Chapman said during the agency’s final on-site briefing. The discovery adds to evidence that the aircraft began breaking apart before impact. The elevator is a movable surface on the aircraft’s tail that helps control whether its nose points up or down. TEXAS FAMILY OF 4, 20-YEAR-OLD COPILOT AMONG 9 KILLED IN FIERY FLORIDA JET CRASH But Chapman said he did not believe the component would have enabled the aircraft to recover even if it had remained attached, given the speed of the jet’s descent. The Learjet was carrying seven passengers and two crew members from Austin, Texas, to North Eleuthera in the Bahamas when it crashed Sunday, killing everyone aboard. FAA SEEKS PERMANENT AIRSPACE RESTRICTIONS NEAR TRUMP’S MAR-A-LAGO AS EXPERT WARNS RULES ARE ‘NOT GOOD ENOUGH’ Investigators are now preparing to remove water from the impact crater, where Chapman said they expect to recover additional aircraft components. Given the force of the crash, pieces buried there will likely be small. Severe weather has hampered some recovery efforts, and weather remains a key focus of the investigation. The cause of the crash has not been determined. FAA, NTSB INVESTIGATING POSSIBLE VIOLATION OF SAFETY PROTOCOL INVOLVING TRUMP, MARINE ONE Investigators have also obtained dashcam footage to help reconstruct the aircraft’s final moments, Chapman said. Recovered wreckage is being retained for analysis, and officials urged anyone who encounters debris to leave it untouched and notify authorities. The crew had reported light clear ice and moderate turbulence while flying at about 35,000 feet before requesting permission to climb to 37,000 feet. Less than 30 seconds after controllers approved the request, the crew reported they were descending and issued a mayday call. Roughly 600 residents near Military Trail and Cresthaven Boulevard were evacuated after the crash, according to The Palm Beach Post. Between 40 and 50 people were staying at the Greenacres Community Center, Palm Beach County spokesperson John Jamason told the outlet. County officials were seeking state funding to help displaced residents with housing and transportation while authorities worked at the crash site. TRUMP HELICOPTER’S RADIO WARNINGS WENT UNHEARD BEFORE CLOSE CALL WITH PASSENGER JET, REPORT SAYS Officials said during Tuesday’s briefing that Military Trail remained closed in both directions between 10th Avenue North and Purdy Lane. They did not provide a timeline for reopening the road or allowing displaced residents to return home. Among those killed were Austin technology entrepreneur Adam Robinson, 45, his wife, Helen Sharp, 40, and their children, Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2. NORAD FIGHTER JETS INTERCEPT 2 AIRCRAFT NEAR TRUMP’S GOLF CLUB, 3RD PLANE DELAYS HIS NJ DEPARTURE Robinson, CEO and co-founder of Retention.com, had celebrated a business milestone in his final LinkedIn post the day of the crash, announcing that RB2B had reached $10 million in annual recurring revenue. He was also preparing for a live business debate scheduled for Tuesday. "Adam and Helen were devoted parents, and Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2, were the light of their lives. Helen and Adam were the love affair that will last forever," the families said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. "Their warmth, generosity and gift for making people feel welcome touched so many lives. Their loss will be felt deeply by all those who loved them and who they loved in return." Chapman expressed confidence that investigators would determine what happened and thanked Florida and Palm Beach County authorities and first responders for their assistance. Officials added that further investigative updates will be posted on the NTSB’s website. Fox News Digital's Greg Wehner contributed to this report. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aea528b726b22deeb6a934f 'Grand Theft Auto' community organizing 'last ride' on old game before release of 'GTA VI,' but why? te 2026-11-03T21:30:51.444Z 'Grand Theft Auto' community organizing 'last ride' on old game before release of 'GTA VI,' but why? November is finally upon us, and aside from setting our clocks back an hour, that also means we are a little more than two weeks away from the release of "Grand Theft Auto VI." The hotly anticipated title is set to drop on November 19, and the gaming community at large can hardly wait, which is understandable considering they've gone 13 years between installments. Yes, hard to believe that, as of September 17 of this year, "Grand Theft Auto V" would be old enough to see a PG-13 movie in theaters. UNKNOWN HACKER ALLEGEDLY LEAKS SEVERAL MINUTES OF GRAND THEFT AUTO VI GAMEPLAY AHEAD OF NETFLIX REVEAL Given the large time gap between games, you would expect there to be equal parts yearning for the new game as there is nostalgia for the old one, and from that nostalgia comes the "Last Ride." The "Last Ride" was pitched by the GTA community, and will see thousands of players take one last lap around the map of Los Santos — the in-game world for "GTA V" based heavily on Los Angeles — the night before "GTA VI's" big release. It's been trending heavily on social media, with gaming outlets all over the world picking up on it. As a particularly nostalgic person myself as well as a fan of the "Grand Theft Auto" series, I can see where these guys and gals are coming from with the "Last Ride," but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense when you peel the layers back a bit. For starters, "GTA V" isn't going anywhere. On November 20, you will still be able to pop the disc into your Xbox or Playstation and ride around Los Santos in your vehicle of choice to your heart's content. Hell, I still play "GTA IV" about as much as I play its predecessor, and I doubt I'll stop playing either once VI comes around. If you love the game that much, I guarantee you November 18 won't be the last time you ever play "GTA V." I appreciate the symbolism, but let's not get melodramatic here. When "Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask" came out, do you think everyone just immediately chucked their copies of "Ocarina of Time" in the trash? NINTENDO OF AMERICA RELEASES TEASER TRAILER CONFIRMING LEGEND OF ZELDA: OCARINA OF TIME REMAKE IN 2026 No, and as a matter of fact, the demand for "Ocarina of Time" has remained so high over the last 28 years that a remake is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 later this month. This isn't "Madden" or "FIFA," where an updated version makes last year's game immediately obsolete. "GTA V" is unique because of the world the developers created as well as the memories those who played the game created for themselves. I'm not here to yuck anyone's yum; take the "Last Ride." Enjoy it. Reminisce on all the good times you had these last 13 years, but let's not act like "GTA V" is being relegated to the shelf for all of eternity come November 19. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aea5282726b22deeb6a9346 Why isn’t Angel Reese held to the Caitlin Clark standard when fans attack her teammates? te 2026-11-03T21:30:42.437Z Why isn’t Angel Reese held to the Caitlin Clark standard when fans attack her teammates? The WNBA media constantly demands that Caitlin Clark answer for internet trolls. They tell her she needs to condemn "racism, misogyny and homophobia," even though she has nothing to do with the messages other players receive on social media. But does that standard change when the players facing online trolling are being attacked due to their proximity to a different WNBA star, one who receives very different treatment from those same commentators? ANGEL REESE, ATLANTA DREAM DISAPPOINTED AFTER WNBA FINALS GAME 7 LOSS: 'WE'LL BE BACK' Atlanta Dream players Jordin Canada and Rhyne Howard are now on the receiving end. And the hate isn't coming from supposed Caitlin Clark fans; it's coming from supposed Angel Reese fans. Will the commentators who keep assigning Clark responsibility for other people’s behavior apply their standard to Reese? Don't hold your breath. For the record, I don’t think either player owes anyone a statement. Neither Clark nor Reese is responsible for what other people do or say online. However, I do think the people who keep demanding condemnations from Clark owe us an explanation as to why they aren't keeping up that energy when it's Reese at the center. The list of WNBA media members who have openly called for Clark to denounce online hate, something Clark has done multiple times by the way, is almost too long to count. But let's recap a few of the biggest ones: Those examples span from 2024 through this season. So, this isn't new. These people have been making demands of Clark for three seasons, despite her repeated condemnations of the behavior. CAITLIN CLARK SAYS SHE BLOCKS SOCIAL MEDIA HATE AND ENJOYS HOSTILE WNBA ROAD CROWDS On July 3, Clark once again delivered a lengthy statement condemning online hate. She explicitly extended that condemnation to the treatment of opponents, teammates and coaches. "The harassment, the hate, none of that is okay. … There should never be question of character. Like I’ve always stood up here and said that and that’s truly what I believe. That’s how I was raised. … none of that is okay. And I don’t want anybody to ever experience that," Clark said. A reporter raised the subject again at her October 8 season-ending news conference. Asked about Kelsey Mitchell’s comments on the treatment she receives, Clark was also asked to address "the attention this team receives because of you, but maybe not attention that you necessarily asked for." There’s that familiar framing again. Other people send the messages, but Clark gets asked to account for the attention surrounding her teammates. So she answered. Again. "As far as people that have used me to demonstrate racist rhetoric or hate or discrimination, that’s not something I stand for," Clark said. The expectations come from commentators, the questions come from reporters, and Clark keeps giving them an answer. But apparently, that still wasn’t enough. On October 23, ESPN analyst Monica McNutt said: "There is no way that someone would use my likeness to support causes that I am against." Clark has already told people she opposes that behavior. Repeatedly. How many more statements would satisfy McNutt? And now that people defending Angel Reese are attacking Reese’s own teammates, does McNutt expect the same response from her? My guess? Not a chance. Jordin Canada returned to social media after avoiding it during the playoffs and immediately found a reminder of why she had stayed away. "It blows my mind that as fans yall CHOOSE to say the hurtful and cruel things out loud and on here," she wrote, describing the comments as "heartless, rude, insensitive." Some of the posts targeting her and Howard make their allegiance clear. One account accused Howard, coach Karl Smesko and the Dream’s owners of selling Reese out in a supposedly rigged Finals. Another defended Reese while calling Canada and Howard "BOTH selfish players and human beings" and accusing them of not caring about winning. And some of the attacks were explicitly racist, including posts using the N-word. So where is the insistence that Reese address online trolls "invoking her name" as an excuse to attack other players? So far, the WNBA media has been silent. WNBA FINALS TEAMS END SEASON WITH ONE FINAL NATIONAL ANTHEM SNUB AS DREAM, VALKYRIES LEAVE COURT Reese, meanwhile, outlined her plans for the next six months. In an Instagram post (on her private secondary account), Reese announced she is pausing her podcast for the offseason, plans occasional YouTube vlogs and will spend time resting and working out in Florida. Her explanation: "i’m dedicating this off season to myself." Can you imagine Caitlin Clark announcing that she's taking the next six months to focus on herself while her teammates are complaining about receiving nasty messages on social media? The WNBA media might never recover from such a scenario. We’d get days, probably weeks and maybe even months of lectures about leadership, accountability and whether Clark was abandoning the teammates receiving online abuse. Think pieces would be plastered all over The Guardian, The Athletic, ESPN and other left-wing sites explaining how White women have the privilege of focusing on themselves while Black women have no choice but to always worry about everyone else in their "community." They would all demand that Caitlin Clark issue yet another statement. Then, they would complain that the statement wasn’t enough. The whole cycle would fuel the WNBA media ecosystem through the entire offseason. So, where are the lectures for Angel Reese? Anyone see any think pieces about how Reese is being selfish? Didn't think so. All of this unfolds in a league that spends an extraordinary amount of time talking about what people (and bots) say on the internet. In August, after Sophie Cunningham’s comments about "biological men" competing in women’s sports sparked a debate over eligibility, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert told teams an upcoming meeting of the league’s anti-hate task force would address whether males should be eligible to play in the WNBA. Yahoo Sports reported that meeting instead largely focused on online hate directed at players. Even with eligibility rules on the agenda, the WNBA couldn’t stop talking about internet trolls. USA SPORTS, NBC CLAIM RECORD WNBA FINALS RATINGS, BUT COMPARISONS LEAVE OUT IMPORTANT CONTEXT That’s what I wanted to ask Engelbert about when I attended her October 17 press conference before Game 1 of the WNBA Finals. Why does online commentary warrant so much of the league’s time and attention? And does repeatedly highlighting negativity overshadow the positive things happening with attendance and television audiences? I wasn’t called on. Engelbert nevertheless returned to the subject in her final answer, condemning people who sit "behind a keyboard to spew vitriol and hate and racism and misogyny at our players." After all those meetings, statements and lectures, you’d think the reporters, analysts and commentators demanding more from Caitlin Clark would recognize a familiar situation in Atlanta.

Where are your demands for Angel Reese to defend her teammates? Again, I don’t think Reese owes anyone a statement. Clark doesn’t, either. But the people who have spent three seasons assigning that responsibility to Clark should explain why their standard apparently disappears when applying it would require them to make demands of Reese. In the WNBA media’s world, Caitlin Clark has to answer for the internet. But Angel Reese gets to focus on herself.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aea4dbd726b22deeb6a9213 ASRA NOMANI: Muslim reformers reject ‘fire will rise’ warning if El-Sayed loses as 'Jihad First' te 2026-11-03T21:10:21.553Z ASRA NOMANI: Muslim reformers reject ‘fire will rise’ warning if El-Sayed loses as 'Jihad First' American Muslim reformers are torching political commentator Wajahat Ali after he warned that "the fire will rise" and people will be "radicalized" if Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed loses his Michigan Senate bid, saying his language echoes a "Jihad First" intimidation rhetoric used by religious tyrants before elections in the Middle East. On Monday, Ali drew fire on X when he wrote: "If, God forbid, Abdul loses, this will be a watershed moment in Democratic politics. The fire will rise. It’s over. People will be radicalized against corporate, pro-Israel Dems. There will be a reckoning. If, when, he wins, it will be a watershed moment. And that reckoning will still come." After facing backlash, Ali posted another message Tuesday morning, expressing no regrets and instead scolding critics for alleged bigotry. "Ah, that Islamophobia and anti-Arab bigotry are so pure and naked," Ali wrote. "People are just coming out in the open about how they’ve always felt. Great. Please, be honest. Just share the ugliness with the world so we can all see." Ali didn't respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital. Reform-minded Muslim leaders aren't buying Ali's rhetoric. The divide with Muslim reformers reflects a broader fissure within American Muslim politics: between establishment organizations and leaders who accept political Islam, or Islamism — the idea that religion should shape government and political life — and reform-minded critics who challenge orthodoxy, reject anti-Israel and anti-Western rhetoric and support secularism, including the separation of mosque and state. "What Wajahat Ali said on the eve of elections is actually the language we’ve seen Islamists use before elections in countries in the Middle East, including Egypt," Dalia Ziada, an Egyptian Muslim reformer and critic of political Islamism, told Fox News Digital. "The threat is usually: If you don’t choose us, this will lead to radicalization, and this will lead to violence," added Ziada, who is Washington, D.C., director at the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy. "Maybe we need to expect troubles coming up." EL-SAYED'S PAST MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD COMMENTS RAISE RED FLAGS AS HE EYES POWERFUL ROLE Soraya Deen, a Muslim reform activist, attorney and co-founder of the Los Angeles Women's Multifaith Alliance, said Ali’s language shouldn't be treated as a routine social-media outburst. "His words are deeply troubling," Deen told Fox News Digital. "His warning that ‘the fire will rise,’ that people will be ‘radicalized,’ and that a ‘reckoning’ is coming deserves serious scrutiny." "Losing an election is not a license for radicalization," added Deen, . "We must reject intimidation, political extremism and the politics of perpetual grievance." EX-DSA MEMBER RIPS ABDUL EL-SAYED AND WARNS FAR-LEFT ADOPTING POLITICS OF FOREIGN TERROR ORG Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a Muslim reformer and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, said Ali’s comments reflect what he describes as a "Jihad First" lens for viewing political conflict. "Wajahat Ali, like Abdul El-Sayed, proves yet again their decades of anti-American Islamist obsession and the ‘Jihad First’ lens through which they view every cultural, social, military and political conflict," said Jasser, who is running for Congress as a Republican candidate in Arizona’s 4th Congressional District. Jasser’s comments were directed at what he described as the political rhetoric surrounding El-Sayed’s campaign. The reformers didn't accuse Ali of belonging to an Islamist organization. Their criticism focused on language they said resembles tactics used to pressure voters by warning that rejecting a candidate could produce violence or radicalization. EL-SAYED TRIES TO MAKE PEACE WITH JEWISH DEMOCRATS BUT DRAWS LINE AT DUMPING HASAN PIKER Ali’s comments came as El-Sayed’s campaign draws support from a wide network of Muslim advocacy groups, Palestinian activist organizations, progressive groups, labor organizations and political influencers. A Fox News Digital review of campaign endorsements, public statements and voter-mobilization efforts identified 70 Muslim groups and influencers supporting El-Sayed’s political orbit one way or another. The records include formal endorsements, campaign-listed support, voter mobilization and public amplification. Not every organization has the same relationship with the campaign. They include CAIR Action, Americans for Justice in Palestine Action, Bangladeshi Americans for Political Progress, Emgage Action and the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights. El-Sayed's official website includes endorsements from "Muslims for Abdul," the Yemeni American Michigan Democratic Caucus, the Michigan Bangladeshi American Democratic Caucus and Palestinian American political operative Linda Sarsour's MPower Action, among others. ABDUL EL-SAYED REPORTEDLY CALLED HASAN PIKER WARNING HIS RHETORIC WAS 'COSTING' VOTES The broader coalition supporting El-Sayed includes Democratic Party organizations and Democratic Socialists of America chapters, as well as online commentators and political figures including Hasan Piker, Linda Sarsour, Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib. The organizations and individuals have overlapping priorities, including opposition to U.S. support for Israel, demands for an arms embargo or cease-fire, support for Palestinian activism, criticism of Democratic moderates and efforts to mobilize Muslim and progressive voters. The coalition’s critics have described it as a "red-green" alliance involving "red" left-wing political organizations and "green" Muslim advocacy groups. "Their red-green ‘Jihad First’ filter — threatening fire and radicalization — is simply an unmooring of their own dreams to live the jihad of Islamism and destroy the American dream and everything for which it stands," Jasser said. "Patriotism is not in their vocabulary." TRUMP SAYS ISRAEL WILL STOP RECEIVING $4B IN US AID BY YEAR'S END, CAN STILL BUY WEAPONS For Ziada, the significance of Ali’s post lies in the suggestion that an election loss could trigger radicalization. "Muslims like Wajahat Ali are just using the political movement backing Abdul El-Sayed as a staircase to bring them to the power of a chair they want to claim," Ziada said. "Once they get there, they don’t care what they may have promised. And if they don’t get there, they will turn it into fire." Ziada also criticized El-Sayed’s campaign rhetoric about Israel, comparing what she described as repeated attacks on Israel to political tactics used by leaders in the Middle East. Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump announced that he would cut off $4 billion of aid to Israel, one of the network's demands, designed to isolate the nation. "The demonization of Israel that we saw very prominently in the campaign of El-Sayed is a tactic that we saw Middle Eastern dictators resorting to every now and then," Ziada said. "Whenever they are stuck with economic issues or politics, they just bring up the ‘Israel is bad’ card," she added. "Again, he is just copying dictators in the Middle East." Jasser said the episode should prompt Muslim voters and Democratic leaders to examine the language used by political influencers who claim to speak for Muslim communities. "Any honest Muslim who reads that post will see ‘Jihad First’ and everyone else be damned, including patriotic Muslims," Jasser said. Ali has emerged as a prominent media figure over more than two decades, writing for and appearing on outlets including The Daily Beast, The New York Times, CNN and The Guardian. He also hosted programming for Al Jazeera America. His political activism began after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, when he became involved in campus protests at the University of California, Berkeley. He later worked with Democratic operative Faiz Shakir, who became campaign manager for Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, at the Center for American Progress, a nonprofit established by former Clinton administration chief of staff John Podesta. Ali has continued to weigh in on Israel, Democratic Party strategy and Muslim political activism, regularly drawing fire. Earlier this year, in a broadcast with former MSNBC host Joy Reid, the two decried "weak White mean" in a heated anti-Trump rant. Most recently, Ali hosted a speaker who criticized Democratic House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries for receiving political contributions from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, calling him an "AIPAC monkey." The smear drew cries of racism against Jeffries, who is Black. Now, Muslim reformers are scolding Ali for making comments that seem to threaten voters with "fire," a "reckoning" and a "radicalized" citizenry if his preferred candidate loses. Deen said the response to an election should be political disagreement, not warnings of unrest. "Losing an election is not a license for radicalization," Deen said. "We must reject intimidation, political extremism and the politics of perpetual grievance."

But over the weekend, I was out on Old Hickory Lake covering The Champions, a massive bass fishing tournament with a $3.25 million purse. It was also our first big event since OutKick OutDoors became officially official back in August. So naturally, I was curious to see what people were saying.

Friends, allow me to explain how this works. These tournaments are catch-and-release. Anglers keep their fish alive in aerated livewells on their boats, hold them up for a few quick seconds during weigh-in, and then the fish are returned to the lake. In fact, keeping those fish alive is such a priority that competitors are heavily penalized if they bring a dead fish to the scales. Unfortunately, things do happen sometimes. But the entire process is designed to keep as many of them swimming as possible. And for the record, there's absolutely nothing wrong with legal hunting and fishing, harvesting animals for food. But before y'all come yelling at me for covering bass fishing, please understand we're not out here just murdering smallmouth in droves for funsies. MATT ROBERTSON WINS RECORD $1.25 MILLION FISHING PRIZE, DECLARES 'TRAILER TRASH FOR LIFE' Maybe just relax, grab yourself a beer from the garage fridge, kick back and enjoy some Nightcaps. So you can all breathe easier now that we finally have confirmation. After months of dating rumors, suspiciously timed trips to Italy and a phone lock screen that seemingly gave the whole thing away, country music star Megan Moroney and USMNT soccer star Christian Pulisic are officially an item. Apparently, Moroney was chatting with actress Eiza González at the TIME100 Gala in New York City last Thursday when González reportedly joked, "We're the new generation of WAGs." González is dating tennis star Grigor Dimitrov, while Moroney has apparently claimed her spot on Team Pulisic. PEOPLE subsequently confirmed that the country singer and AC Milan star are, in fact, dating. Congratulations to the happy couple. And now we can close this case. Look, it's no secret that I despise the Tennessee Titans. As someone who used to work there, I can confirm the absolute dumpster fire they put out on the field every Sunday is directly reflective of the ownership and front office that runs the place. I was thrilled for Derrick Henry when he got out of Nashville — and for Kevin Byard, too. So now I'm equally pumped that Big Jeff Simmons is in Chicago and will actually have a chance at a ring. And man, did he make one hell of a first impression. As a Miami Dolphins fan, I'll likely never see a Super Bowl in my lifetime. I'm at peace with this. But I'm a Bears fan by marriage, so I hope they keep it up. I do not claim to be an expert on the fundamentals of basketball. My hoops career ended in fifth grade when I got frustrated with girls 7 inches taller than me boxing me out in the school gym. But even I know you're not supposed to shoot a free throw like you're trying to launch a grenade over enemy lines. Allow me to introduce you to Kendall Puryear, a 6-foot-3 forward for the University of South Florida women's basketball team, who has perhaps the most unhinged free throw form I've ever seen. Seriously, watch this. WHAT WAS THAT?! Puryear, who transferred from Purdue this offseason, went to the line twice during Monday's 80-54 win over Furman and missed both attempts. Which, given the mechanics we're working with here, isn't exactly shocking. For the record, Puryear was actually a standout shot put thrower in high school, ranking No. 1 in Missouri. Which actually explains a whole lot. But like I said, not a basketball connoisseur over here. We'll need Dan Dakich to weigh in.

She was 35. On Monday, Nika and Natalie Taylor — the other members of the group and Nicole's sisters — announced her death in a TikTok post. "We’re heartbroken to announce the passing of our sister, Nicole Taylor," Nika said. "We honestly thought she’d be healed here on earth, but now she’s healed in heaven."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aea4b5d726b22deeb6a916b Supreme Court offers support for Catholic preschools challenging state funding requirements te 2026-11-03T21:00:13.513Z Supreme Court offers support for Catholic preschools challenging state funding requirements The Supreme Court's conservative majority offered clear support Tuesday for Catholic preschools that claim Colorado's taxpayer-funded program improperly excludes them by unconstitutionally intruding on their religious rights. At issue is whether those private education institutions that deny admission to children of LGBTQ+ parents violate state anti-discrimination laws, and can therefore be denied a generally applicable public benefit. It is the latest high-profile religious rights appeal to reach the high court in recent years, several of them originating from Colorado. CATHOLIC SCHOOLS, BANNED RIFLES AND ‘CLIMATE LAWFARE’: BLOCKBUSTER FIGHTS AWAIT SUPREME COURT In a lively two-hour oral argument, the justices debated competing interests involving both religious liberty and a state's interest in ensuring equal opportunity for gay and lesbian parents. "I'm hard-pressed to think that given those [Catholic] teachings that any homosexual family is going to choose to go to one of these schools, but that should be their choice, not your choice to exclude them," said Justice Sonia Sotomayor to the lawyer for the plaintiffs. "That's what you're asking for... You want an official statement by the State that I will subsidize you with public money even though-- because I have a right to reject children." ANDREA PICCIOTTI-BAYER: COLORADO'S UNIVERSAL PRESCHOOL REVIVES VILE ANTI-CATHOLIC LAWS But Justice Brett Kavanaugh said the state's motives, however well-intentioned, are promoting a kind of conformity that is not constitutionally permissible. "Why not seek the win/win?" Kavanaugh asked the attorney for the state. "There are plenty of opportunities to respect the rights of the religious believers and respect the ability of LGBT parents to find among the 2,000 [Colorado] schools an appropriate fit for their children. "It seems like this is a would-be solution in search of a problem that is unnecessary to create this clash," he added. "There's an ability for everyone to go to the school, a good school that's a fit for them and respect religious rights." Colorado established a Universal Preschool Program (UPK) in a 2020 ballot measure, distributing public funds for participating schools, with the requirement they "provide eligible children an equal opportunity to enroll and receive preschool services regardless of race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity, lack of housing, income level, or disability." Two Catholic parishes sued, arguing the policy targets their sincerely-held beliefs about same-sex marriage. The Archdiocese in the state manages 34 preschools, with a policy to only admit students from ​families who support Catholic ideology, including on same-sex relationships and gender identity. They seek exemptions to the Colorado law, arguing their exclusion is a form of religious discrimination in violation of the First Amendment. The Trump administration has signaled its support of the religious plaintiffs. The state counters its public benefit conditions are neutral and generally applied to every preschool. It provides a $6,300 annual benefit per child for up to 15 hours a week of preschool, with money coming from a tobacco tax. Officials told the nine-member bench that religious schools are free to participate but must abide by nondiscrimination laws, similar to those affecting low-income and disabled students. As part of its review of the Colorado dispute, the high court will decide whether to narrow a 36-year-old precedent that religious practices do not create exemptions from broadly applicable laws. The First Amendment states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." The Supreme Court in prior decades had focused on the first part, ensuring a constitutional separation of church and state, when disputes over religious rights reached the public sphere. But the current conservative bench in the past few years — led by Justice Samuel Alito — has trended toward favoring religious institutions raising "free exercise" claims. The justices have separately backed a Colorado baker, mental health counselor, and website developer, who all challenged the state's anti-discrimination policies. The oral arguments Tuesday seemed to divide along ideological lines. Conservative justices focused on the "free exercise" claims by the Catholic parishes that state requirements for receiving public benefits amounted to religious discrimination. "Explain what the difference is between [explicitly excluding Catholic schools] and then choosing to impose a condition that you know that those schools will be unable to agree to?" said Justice Amy Coney Barrett. But Justice Elena Kagan cited the court's prior cases, which she said affirmed the idea "you can't treat religious institutions differently." "That's not the principle that's at issue here," Kagan said. "The principle at issue here is: Do you have to treat them better?" Chief Justice John Roberts asked tough questions of both sides and his vote could prove determinative. At one point, he expressed skepticism that recent rulings favoring the rights of religious schools over similar claims should also prevail in the current petition. "The law in those cases, in each of them, expressly discriminated against religious schools on its face," Roberts told Reaves. "That's not the case here," suggesting Colorado's law may be applied fairly across the board. The current dispute was brought by plaintiffs including St. Mary Catholic School. Erika Nagle, whose children attend the Littleton facility, told Fox News Digital that two of her children were denied access to the state's preschool funding program, leaving her family to cover additional education expenses. "We are being excluded from this benefit because we are Catholic," Nagle said in an interview with Fox News Digital. "And so in a state that preaches inclusion, they are actively going out of their way to exclude a huge chunk of people because of our religious beliefs. "We have had two preschools in the archdiocese that have been closed down," she added. "The state is dangling a carrot over here, incentivizing people to leave their faith, to abandon the Catholic education that they want." The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty represented the plaintiffs in court, arguing the state's policies are having severe consequences, with enrollment at Archdiocesan preschools having fallen 20%, and two schools shuttered. The state counters religious entities like Catholic Charities, at least three dozen Christian schools, one Muslim and three Jewish schools continue to participate in the preschool funding program. "Colorado welcomes religious preschools" to its program, state attorney Helen Norton told the high court. "The only thing Colorado asks is that they comply with the same conditions that every publicly funded preschool must meet, religious and secular alike." The case is St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy (25-581), with a ruling expected by next spring.

Edmonton visits New Jersey, and the spotlight falls squarely on Leon Draisaitl. Underdog is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS to play $10 and get $50 in bonus entries on any game tonight. This game comes down to the best offensive duo in hockey against one of the best goalies in the world. Hellebuyck has been excellent early in his Devils tenure, going 2-0-0 with a 1.50 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage. Edmonton counters with Tristan Jarry, who is 4-1-2 with two shutouts but just a .901 save percentage. That gap in net is why New Jersey is favored at home. It’s also why the Oilers are interesting at plus money. Edmonton doesn’t need many chances to score, and few teams can match the speed and skill McDavid and Draisaitl bring to the top of the lineup. The Devils won the last meeting 2-1 in January, and the total sits at 6.5 with the under juiced at -125, so the books expect another tight one. For pick’em, McDavid is the starting point. His point line is the safest way to get exposure to Edmonton’s offense, and even a quiet night for the Oilers usually runs through him. On the other side, Hellebuyck’s saves line is worth a look. If Edmonton controls the puck the way it usually does, he’ll be busy. Odds are subject to change The defending Stanley Cup champion Hurricanes visit Nashville at 8 p.m. ET, and Anaheim at Vancouver closes the night at 9 p.m. ET.

Four free picks, four places to start, one massive NHL slate.  Connor McDavid points (higher): Edmonton visits New Jersey at 7:30 p.m. ET, and McDavid is still the most reliable point producer in hockey. Even when the Oilers have a quiet night, the offense usually runs through him. He’s the anchor for any NHL entry tonight. Connor Hellebuyck saves (higher): Hellebuyck has been excellent since arriving in New Jersey, going 2-0-0 with a 1.50 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage. Facing McDavid and Leon Draisaitl means facing a lot of rubber. If Edmonton controls play the way it usually does, Hellebuyck’s saves line is in play. Leon Draisaitl points (higher): The Devils will likely put their top shutdown pieces on McDavid’s line, which can leave Draisaitl with easier matchups. He also runs the top power play alongside McDavid. Pairing the two is a simple way to bet on Edmonton’s top end breaking through. Nikita Kucherov points (higher): Kucherov won his second Hart Trophy last season, and Tampa Bay hosts Detroit at 7 p.m. ET. Home games against a Red Wings team still building toward contention are exactly where Kucherov tends to pile up points. New Jersey is favored at home largely because of the matchup in net. Edmonton’s Tristan Jarry is 4-1-2 with two shutouts, but his .901 save percentage trails Hellebuyck by a wide margin. The Devils won the last meeting 2-1 in January, and the under is priced at -125, so the books see another low-scoring game coming.

Edmonton counters with Tristan Jarry, who has two shutouts but a .901 save percentage. That goaltending gap is why the Devils are favored at home.

Edmonton’s Tristan Jarry has two shutouts and a 4-1-2 record, but his .901 save percentage leaves less room for error. New Jersey also won the last meeting 2-1 in January, and the under is priced at -125. That’s the case for the Devils. The case for Edmonton is simpler: no team in the league has two forwards like McDavid and Draisaitl. They run the top power play together, they can split up to stretch a defense across two lines, and they can turn a quiet game in a matter of shifts. Hellebuyck can steal games, but he hasn’t faced this kind of firepower yet in a Devils sweater. A protected first bet is the right tool for taking a plus-money underdog with this kind of upside.

Fanatics Sportsbook is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS350 to bet $20 and get $350 in FanCash on Devils vs. Oilers. Hellebuyck vs. the best duo in hockey. Connor Hellebuyck has been as good as advertised in New Jersey, opening 2-0-0 with a 1.50 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage. He’s built his career on stealing games against elite offenses, and McDavid and Draisaitl are the toughest test he’ll get all month. If he holds them in check, the Devils are in great shape at home. Edmonton’s goaltending gap. Tristan Jarry gives the Oilers a 4-1-2 record and two shutouts, but his .901 save percentage is a red flag against a Devils team that can push the pace. Edmonton can survive a shaky night from its goalie when its stars are rolling. It’s much harder when the other team’s goalie is standing on his head. The special teams battle. McDavid and Draisaitl together on the top power play is the most dangerous unit in the league. New Jersey has to stay out of the box. If the Devils keep this game at five-on-five, they can lean on their structure and their goalie. If they hand Edmonton chances on the man advantage, the Oilers’ price at +135 starts to look like a bargain. The last time these teams met, New Jersey won 2-1 in January. The books have priced the under at -125 for a reason. Hellebuyck’s numbers so far point to a low-scoring night, and the Devils’ best path to winning is keeping the game tight and grinding out a one- or two-goal result. Even if Edmonton’s stars break through once or twice, it would take a goaltending collapse on both ends to get to seven goals.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aea46af726b22deeb6a8fdb Retired NYPD officer arrested after 'off with his head' post over Florida mosque expansion te 2026-11-03T20:40:15.893Z Retired NYPD officer arrested after 'off with his head' post over Florida mosque expansion A retired NYPD officer living in Florida was arrested Monday after authorities say he made a social media post calling for the beheading of a Pinellas County commissioner who recently voted to approve the expansion of a local mosque. Rodolfo Mienert, who now lives in St. Petersburg, allegedly commented on a Facebook post criticizing Pinellas County Commissioner Brian Scott for supporting a land-use change that would allow the North Pinellas mosque to expand. According to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, the 68-year-old ex-officer called Scott a "Republican turncoat" before writing, "off with his head!" Mienert posted this Facebook comment under the username "Rudy MineAllmine," according to an affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital. OHIO MAN CHARGED OVER GRAPHIC THREATS TO KILL TRUMP, BEHEAD GOP LAWMAKER The account's profile picture shows Bugs Bunny holding a revolver, while its bio reads, "...if I pissed off a libtard today, I'm happy!! no further reply!!" The last post made by this account reposted a campaign video from Scott, accompanied with the message: "DO NOT vote for this person, he voted FOR a mosque." Detectives traced the IP address of the account that made the post to Mienert, who later confirmed the account was his. MAN INDICTED FOR ALLEGEDLY POSTING GRUESOME DEATH THREATS AGAINST KRISTI NOEM, PAM BONDI ON SOCIAL MEDIA Mienert told detectives he is "very vocal and not afraid to share his opinion" on political issues and said he called Scott a "turncoat" because of his vote to approve the mosque expansion. Mienert also told detectives he had attended an Oct. 27 County Commission meeting where residents discussed the mosque issue at length. During that meeting, he said he escaped New York to "beautiful Florida" and claimed the growing footprint of the mosque would damage the environment and make traffic worse. Mienert was arrested and charged with one felony count of a written or electronic threat to kill, an offense that carries a maximum of 15 years in prison in Florida. In a statement, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said that "threatening to cut off the head of a county commissioner because of his vote on a land issue is intolerable and we will strictly enforce the law against anyone who makes threats of this nature." Mienert, who retired as a sergeant after 22 years with the New York Police Department, remains in the Pinellas County Jail, according to records reviewed by Fox News Digital. He is set to appear in court Tuesday afternoon.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aea4205726b22deeb6a8c1d Peter King's new book 'The Game' sparks debate over NFL's most significant figures across four decades te 2026-11-03T20:20:21.133Z Peter King's new book 'The Game' sparks debate over NFL's most significant figures across four decades The list of premier NFL historians has for a long time included Peter King as a contributor, and his new book titled "The Game" is a journey that gives color to the growth of America's sport from the 1980s, when baseball and the NFL were still sports landscape peers to the current day in which football simply dominates. King, the former Sports Illustrated writer and founding author of the Monday Morning Quarterback column, has delivered 40 chapters about King Sport. "The Game" is a journey that details everything from the perfect NFL career authored by a Steelers' player not part of the early-day Super Bowl titles, to the rebirth of the New York Giants in the 1980s, to the painful last stand of Bill Walsh, to the sad end of Al Davis in 2007 – with much in between and beyond. The book is a sprawling, colorful ride through four decades in forty chapters. FOOTBALL LEGEND BILL BELICHICK ADDRESSES HALL OF FAME SNUB AND WHETHER IT WAS A 'POLITICAL' DECISION Sitting down with the writer allowed me an opportunity to explain to King how wrong he was about his Mount Rushmore of Pro Football. Fine, so I didn't actually tell a legendary scribe he's wrong about his stuff. But it's fair to say I probed him about the water cooler conversation segment of the book, which he patterned after Mount Rushmore. Having known King for decades, I reminded him that Mount Rushmore has four presidents on its granite cliff and his Mount Rushmore boasts 100 people, then adds another 10 just because, then includes an honorable mention section. "Armando," King retorts, without missing a beat, "as you know, I always wrote long." Fair enough. Time to prod. King did not include either Bill Belichick or Don Shula among his top 20 names on his Mount Rushmore. EX-PATRIOTS STAR ON WHETHER TOM BRADY COULD FACE SAME HOF FATE AS BILL BELICHICK: 'CRAZY TO THINK ABOUT' Belichick, who has more Super Bowl championships than any other coach in NFL history, is No. 24 on King's mountain. "Well, my Mount Rushmore is about the people who have been most significant in making the NFL the monstrous game and product that it is today," King explains. "So, like I have Joe Carr, former NFL commissioner, as the 4th most significant guy in pro football history. NFL COMMISSIONER ROGER GOODELL WILL NOT TESTIFY BEFORE CONGRESS AMID SCRUTINY OF PAST TESTIMONIES "I think it's hard for somebody, unless you're absolutely like the best who's ever done it, for me to say that he's more important in football history than, say, Lamar Hunt, or Pete Rozelle, or John Madden or Vince Lombardi ... And those are guys I have, obviously, in the top 10. "There are so many people, and I went through so many iterations of this, but I just tried to stick with the sort of the tried and true approach of people who were most responsible for this game being as gargantuan as it is." Before this gets out of control, understand that King was a Pro Football Hall of Fame selector for decades and thought it was a mistake not to induct Belichick as a first-ballot candidate. So he is not anti-Belichick, folks. MANNY FERNANDEZ, CORNERSTONE OF DOLPHINS’ PERFECT 1972 SEASON, DEAD AT 79 Shula, the winningest coach of all time and the architect of the NFL's only undefeated Super Bowl champion, is outside King's top 25. "I just don't think of Don Shula as a more important figure than the people I put above him," King said. "I think the reason is, and look, the undefeated season is obviously, that team is without peer in modern NFL history without any question. And that was an incredible accomplishment, especially because they beat some incredible teams in that season. They had a great year. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! "But I think the way I kind of look at it, other than the number of wins, which is paramount, when I look at Don Shula, I am left asking the question, 'What other contributions to the game did he have that should put him higher on this list? What are they?' "And I am left not convinced that he made the kind of contributions that guys like Madden and Lombardi made. This is more than just your win total. It has to do with everything you contributed to the game." King is a good sport allowing me to thrust and riposte with him a bit. Any book that can set off such an exchange over football is worth the time.

The order applied to U.S. government employees in Matamoros, a Mexican city across the border from Brownsville, Texas. The U.S. Mission to Mexico said on Oct. 30 that the law enforcement activity that had prompted the order had subsided. DEADLY SECURITY RISKS PROMPT UPDATED TRAVEL WARNINGS FOR 13 COUNTRIES "The order for U.S. government employees to shelter in place has been lifted," officials said. They noted that the Mexican border state of Tamaulipas, where Matamoros is located, remains under the State Department's highest-level travel advisory — Level 4 or "Do Not Travel" — due to terrorism, crime and kidnapping. The shelter-in-place order came amid heightened security concerns following two arrests in Matamoros that prompted roadblocks across Tamaulipas, according to Mexican authorities. In an Oct. 30 statement, Mexican officials identified one suspect as Axel Alfredo "N," the alleged second-in-command of the Gulf Cartel's Los Ciclones faction. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER Mexican authorities linked him to homicides, kidnappings, extortion, fuel theft and cross-border trafficking, as well as a May 2026 attack on federal security officers that left one dead and several injured.

After lifting the order, U.S. officials urged Americans in Matamoros to monitor local media and to "be aware of your surroundings." TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Americans were also urged to notify friends and family of their safety. The warning follows a similar security alert issued in August. At that time, U.S. officials temporarily suspended government activities and travel to Mexicali, another Mexican border city over 1,000 miles northwest of Matamoros. The alert came after officials received information about a possible armed attack on law enforcement facilities by Los Rusos, a criminal group.

Stores are promoting early deals, our inboxes are filling with sales emails and chances are you're already thinking about gifts for family and friends. Scammers are getting an early start, too. Holiday shopping scams are designed to blend in with legitimate promotions and messages. A tempting discount could lead to a fake online store. A delivery alert might ask you to confirm your address or pay a small fee. And an email about a problem with your order could be an attempt to steal your payment information. The tricky part is that these messages often arrive when you're already looking for deals or expecting packages. Before you click or enter your credit card information, here are seven holiday shopping scams to watch for and simple ways to protect yourself. Missed CyberGuy LIVE?

No technical experience is needed. Watch the free replay + downloadable checklist now at CyberGuyLive.com. DO NOT CLICK FAKE 'ACCOUNT RECOVERY' AMAZON EMAIL During the holidays, it is normal to receive messages from unfamiliar stores. You may also be expecting several deliveries at once. Meanwhile, sales and shipping deadlines create pressure to act quickly. Scammers take advantage of those distractions. A fake message becomes more convincing when it matches something you are already expecting. That's why one of the best ways to avoid holiday shopping scams is to verify unexpected messages through a company's official website or app rather than responding directly. You see a social media ad for a name-brand coat, popular gadget or designer handbag at 80% off. The photos look professional, and a countdown clock warns that the deal is about to expire. Big discounts happen during the holidays. However, unusually low prices on popular merchandise can signal a scam. Some fake stores collect your payment and send nothing. Others deliver cheap counterfeits or products that look nothing like the advertisement. The Federal Trade Commission warns that scammers frequently use social media advertisements featuring popular products at unusually low prices. Fake shopping websites can look remarkably convincing. Scammers copy brand logos, product photography and website layouts to make their stores appear legitimate. Sometimes, the biggest clue is hiding in the website address. A fake store might add words such as "outlet" or "sale" to a familiar brand name. Others use subtle misspellings or unfamiliar web addresses. One important detail: A padlock icon or HTTPS connection does not guarantee that a shopping website is legitimate. It means the connection is encrypted. Scammers can use encrypted websites, too. When in doubt, type the retailer's official address into your browser or open its trusted app. "Your package could not be delivered. Please confirm your address." Messages like this appear through text messages and emails, often claiming to come from the U.S. Postal Service, UPS or FedEx. Because you may have packages on the way, the message can seem believable. Scammers frequently direct you to a fake tracking page. There, they may ask you to enter your address, credit card number or other personal information. Some demand a small redelivery fee. The Postal Service confirms that it does not charge a fee for redelivery. If a text claims you must pay USPS to receive your package again, treat it as a warning sign. Another common scam involves an email claiming that your payment failed, your shopping account has been locked or a purchase needs immediate confirmation. Some messages go further. They claim someone made an expensive purchase using your account and provide a phone number to call if you want to cancel it. That number may connect you directly to a scammer. Once you call, the person may request your credit card information, ask for a one-time verification code or pressure you into installing remote-access software. If you cannot verify the message through your account, contact the company's customer service department using contact information from its official website. Gift cards make convenient holiday presents. Unfortunately, scammers also like them because the money can be difficult to recover once the card numbers and PINs are shared. A scammer may pretend to be a seller, employer or family member who urgently needs financial help. Some even claim to represent government agencies or utility companies. A legitimate company might sell gift cards or accept its own gift cards for purchases. However, demands to buy gift cards and send someone the card numbers or PINs are strong signs of fraud. The holidays are a popular time for charitable giving. Scammers know that emotional appeals can encourage people to donate quickly. Fake charities may use names that resemble familiar organizations. Others take advantage of natural disasters or heartbreaking stories to solicit donations. Some scammers impersonate legitimate charities and direct donations to fraudulent payment pages. You can also consult the FTC's charity guidance before donating. CHEAP ANDROID PHONES FOUND WITH MALWARE ALREADY INSTALLED Online marketplaces and local resale groups can be useful places to find holiday bargains. However, they also attract scammers posing as legitimate sellers. A seller might advertise a popular item at an unusually low price, then demand payment before you can inspect it. Others try to move conversations away from the marketplace to avoid its protections. Fake payment confirmations and requests for additional shipping fees are other warning signs. Remember that not every marketplace provides buyer protection. Check its policies rather than assuming it will refund a fraudulent purchase. Avoiding holiday shopping scams starts with a few simple habits. These precautions can help protect your finances and personal information. These habits help reduce your risk even when an advertisement or shopping website looks legitimate. Even careful shoppers can encounter convincing scams. The important thing is to respond based on what actually happened. Simply opening a webpage does not automatically mean your accounts have been compromised. Acting quickly can improve your chances of limiting the damage. Good habits are your first line of defense, but nobody spots every scam every time, especially during the busy holiday season. That's where reliable security software can provide an extra layer of protection. I recommend using strong antivirus software that helps detect suspicious websites, phishing attempts and malicious links before they put your personal information at risk. Look for software that offers real-time protection against viruses, malware, spyware and ransomware. Some security solutions also include scam detection tools that can help identify fraudulent text messages, fake shopping websites and suspicious links. These features are particularly useful when scammers impersonate familiar retailers or delivery companies. A built-in password manager is another valuable feature. It can generate and securely store strong, unique passwords for your shopping accounts. That helps reduce the risk of someone accessing multiple accounts if one password is compromised. AI-powered scams are also becoming more convincing. Fake celebrity endorsements, manipulated videos and fraudulent holiday giveaways can make questionable offers appear legitimate. Some security products now include AI-powered scam detection and deepfake detection tools to help identify certain types of manipulated content. However, these capabilities vary by product, device and platform. While security software cannot stop every scam, combining it with secure payment methods, account alerts and careful shopping habits can help protect your money and personal information throughout the holiday season. Get my picks for the best 2026 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices at CyberGuy.com. SCAMMERS ARE BUYING GOOGLE ADS TO STEAL BANK LOGINS I love finding a great holiday deal as much as anyone. But I've learned that the best way to avoid getting scammed is to be a little skeptical when something looks unusually attractive or demands an immediate response. Scammers are getting better at copying familiar stores and creating convincing messages. They're also using AI to make fraudulent offers look more believable. That's why I recommend checking purchases directly through retailers you trust and using security tools that can help flag suspicious activity. A few extra seconds of checking could save you a lot of trouble. The holidays should be about enjoying time with the people you care about, not cleaning up after a scam.

(Photo by Anne-Marie Caruso/New Jersey Monitor) WASHINGTON — Tens of millions of Americans have already cast a ballot in the 2026 midterm elections that will determine control of Congress and shape President Donald Trump’s remaining policy agenda.  As of Monday, more than 57 million Americans had cast a vote, according to the University of Florida’s Election Lab, which tracks early voting. This year’s elections have already shattered the record for midterm early voting, set in 2022, in which nearly 46 million Americans voted early.  Polls close between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. local time on Election Day. Under federal law, as long as voters are in line when the polls close, they can still cast their ballots. Voters must be at least 18 years old, a U.S. citizen and registered to vote in their state. Many states allow same-day registration. Trump came into his second term with his party in control of both chambers of Congress. But historically, the president’s party loses seats in the midterm elections, and this cycle appears unlikely to be an exception. Elections forecasters have favored Democrats to win back the majority in the U.S. House, which would allow them to significantly rein in Trump’s legislative agenda. Analysts have also increasingly predicted Democrats could win control of the U.S. Senate could, which would allow them to block appointments, including a potential U.S. Supreme Court vacancy. The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter projects Democrats to pick up a Senate seat in North Carolina and lists six more races as toss-ups, all of which are now held by Republicans. Those races are in Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Ohio and Texas. Democrats are defending an open seat in Michigan that the Cook Political Report moved from toss-up to leaning toward the Democrat, Abdul El-Sayed, on Monday. If the other races go as predicted, Democrats would have to win at least three of the toss-ups to gain control of the chamber. The Cook Political Report shifted 12 House races in the direction of Democrats on Oct. 30. Eighteen remained toss-ups as of Monday. Democrats have to net three seats to flip control of the House, if they also win the race in a heavily Democratic Florida district that is vacant after former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned in April. If Democrats gain the majority in the House, they are likely to pursue investigations into Trump and other administration officials. They have also signaled they will embrace a policy agenda centered on lowering costs, especially related to healthcare, though Trump’s veto looms on any major legislation Congress passes for the next two years. Legal challenges amid dismal numbers The war with Iran that has contributed to high gas and diesel prices, inflation and an aggressive immigration crackdown has led to historically low presidential approval ratings. Trump’s approval on average was at 37% Monday, only a tick better than his second-term low of 36% recorded just two weeks earlier, according to The New York Times. The president has already made an attempt to use the Department of Justice to halt the certification of the Alaska U.S. Senate race, after The New York Times reported the campaign of Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola made an effort to recruit a candidate with the same name as GOP incumbent Dan Sullivan in order to stack the four-way general election in her favor.  States Newsroom has not independently verified the Times story. A federal judge tossed out the lawsuit Sunday.  Other court challenges related to the administration’s actions or potential actions related to the election are still unfolding on Election Day. Cases include Democrats’ aim to bar armed federal officials for polling locations and DOJ’s effort to prevent California from counting 20,000 votes the Trump administration suspects are noncitizens.  The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday denied the Trump administration’s final attempt to force California to set aside the ballots. Separately, congressional Democrats have taken their own precautions. More than 100 Senate staffers and 300 House staffers were trained as election monitors and will be sent to 60 or 70 close races, the top Democrat on the House Administration Committee, Joe Morelle, told reporters last week.  Even after the polls close, it could take weeks to know the results of some races, and consequently, control of both chambers of Congress, due to each state’s voting laws and processes for counting votes.  After the 2022 midterms, control of the House was projected for Republicans eight days after Election Day. In 2024, the same projection took nine days.

In fact, he says talking about politics on television has made it difficult enough to control his violent urges. "Man, I run from office. I’m telling you, I would never, ever, ever, ever consider running for office," Cuomo told pollster Frank Luntz on his podcast. "But in fact, I’ll tell you what I’m considering: getting the f— out [of talking about politics]." BOBBY BURACK: THE ANTI-WHITE RESISTANCE IS ALREADY BEGINNING FOR COOPER FLAGG Cuomo referenced boxer Mike Tyson and said his job makes him want to start punching people in the face. "Mike Tyson has turned out to be a prophet, which is already a perversity. But when Mike Tyson said, ‘Social media has made people forget that some things that you say will get you punched in the face.’ "And my desire to punch people in the face has gotten, it’s consuming me, Frank. I can’t handle this. I can’t handle the stupidity. I can’t handle what wins. I can’t handle what gets paid. I can’t handle what succeeds. I can’t handle it." We understand that Cuomo was probably joking. But if anyone were to abandon a successful media career because of an uncontrollable urge to get violent, he would rank near the top of our list. For background, Cuomo now hosts a cable news show on NewsNation. The younger Cuomo brother has a long history of losing his temper. In 2019, he threatened to throw a man down the stairs at a Shelter Island bar after the man called him "Fredo," a reference to the weak link in the Corleone crime family from "The Godfather."

Cuomo later called the man a "jacka–" and "loser" on his radio show. Cuomo also frequently posts videos of himself working out. Sometimes, he lifts dumbbells while typing on his computer. Just saying. Look, we do not want to downplay Cuomo’s urges and then see someone get punched in the face on set or in the political arena. That’s all.

The 15-time major winner announced that he and his team will be redesigning the Tam O’Shanter Country Club on Long Island, roughly 10 miles away from where he won the 2002 U.S. Open. The club was rocked by a scandal in the early 2010s when it was reported that members of the club took prostitutes and strippers to the club for golf outings. The property was sold in 2019 for a potential housing development project, but plans fell through after an arsenic discovery, and the club closed two years later.

The Pima County Public Library’s Pride committee and Nuestras Raíces team hosted a hybrid conversation Oct. 17 at the Richard Elías-Mission Library, 3770 S. Mission Road, with Mesa-based author Sonido Reyes and Texas-based author Jonny Garza Villa, who talked about their stories, collaborations and what it means to be a queer author of color. Garza Villa joined by Zoom while Reyes attended in person The library’s Pride committee was established in February 1997 by a group of staffers advocating for domestic partner benefits and library services for Tucson’s queer community. The library was one of the first in the country to have a committee dedicated to LGBTQ+ services, according to the library. One of the committee’s longest-running programs is the Pride Author Talk, which started in 1998. “Part of our mission as the Pride Team is to create welcoming spaces for our diverse community,” said Pride committee co-chair Sarah Evins. “I’m incredibly honored to be part of such a special team and to work for a library system that actively supports the LGBTQIA+ community in this way.” Nuestras Raíces, Spanish for “our roots,” is the library’s oldest affinity team and began roughly four decades ago, providing opportunities to celebrate and engage with the culture and heritage of Latine and Spanish-speaking communities locally. Nuestras Raíces grew out of the Chicano civil rights movement. Arnulfo Trejo, a founder of the national library group REFORMA, was a University of Arizona professor who helped start the Graduate Library Institute for Spanish Speaking Americans, which ran from 1975 to 1980. Its graduates went to work for the library and started the “Services to the Spanish Speaking” committee, now known as Nuestras Raíces. “We are incredibly passionate about celebrating la cultura and connecting our community with resources,” said Nuestras Raíces co-chair Samantha Neville. Reyes is known for books including “The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School,” which won a Lambda Literary Award for Young Adult Literature, “The Broposal” and the dystopian novel “To Our Untamed Core,” which combines queer representation, “The Hunger Games” and Mexican culture.

Garza Villa and Sonido Reyes met online and later quarantined together in a cabin to write novels. Topacio "Topaz" Servellon / Tucson Spotlight. And while they’ve made a career out of writing, it did not come naturally to Reyes. “I was actually very averse to writing for most of my life,” Reyes said. “I did not like reading. I did not like writing. I had a learning disability, I’m autistic and I’m dyslexic, and I just did not think that reading and writing were for people like me. I thought they were for smart people, and I did not think that I was smart.” Reyes eventually found a writing voice through creative writing, including DC Comics fan fiction and experimenting with slam poetry. “It was my fan fiction friends that peer-pressured me into writing a novel. From there, I never looked back,” Reyes said. Writing still came with challenges when addressing identity, belonging and vulnerability. While Reyes was writing their book, “The Golden Boy’s Guide to Bipolar,” in which the protagonist comes to terms with their bipolar diagnosis, Reyes was experiencing the same thing. “I knew that I wanted to write a book about bipolar disorder because I had been recently diagnosed with schizoaffective, which is like for me bipolar and schizophrenia together,” Reyes said. “I was reflecting on how I was really afraid of writing a book about bipolar that further stigmatizes the illness. I did not want anyone to read a book about bipolar and walk away thinking, ‘Oh wow, bipolar people are scary or crazy.’” Reyes wanted to make sure people could read the book and see themselves or somebody they love in a character with a mental illness that is often stigmatized. “I wanted to show someone with bipolar that specifically having a happy ending without curing the illness,” Reyes said.

Readers have thanked Reyes for helping them realize they needed to seek help. “Someone told me that that book made them realize that they needed help, and they asked for help, and they got it,” Reyes said. “Somebody else told me that that book made them realize that they needed to get a diagnosis, and they were able to get diagnosed with bipolar because of the book. That was super, super special . . . if one person got the help that they needed, that means everything.” Reyes wasn’t the only author on the panel writing about identity and belonging. Garza Villa is known for books including “Fifteen Hundred Miles from the Sun,” “Ander & Santi Were Here” and, most recently, “Futbolista,” a story in which Gabriel Piña, a college goalkeeper with professional soccer dreams, slowly falls for his philosophy classmate while attempting to come to terms with his bisexual identity. Garza Villa was inspired to write after reading Becky Albertalli’s “Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda,” a queer story that made an impact on Garza Villa and their friends. “(I) never had taken a creative writing class, didn’t major in English, had no idea what I was doing,” Garza Villa said. “Becky showing me that like queer people can exist in a contemporary way really struck me . . . Becky was the push that I needed to really figure it out and try something.” Garza Villa said they struggled with imposter syndrome at the beginning of their writing career. “I remember drafting ‘1500 Miles from the Sun,’ and at that time there was just a lot of discourse about no need for coming-out stories anymore. It was a lot of trying to find the confidence not just to tell my story in the way that it wants to be told, but also doing so in a way that is fearless as a storyteller,” Garza Villa said. “I can both be confident as an author and also be confident as a storyteller.” Attendees browse Pride committee and Nuestras Raíces materials, including a flyer for the Latine-Pride Author Talk with Jonny Garza Villa and Sonido Reyes. Topacio "Topaz" Servellon / Tucson Spotlight. Garza Villa’s authentic writing has given readers characters they say they rarely see in books. “The first time I did a book festival here in San Antonio . . . there were just so many readers who said, ‘I’ve never read a story about (people) like us said here in South Texas, and like with a family that looked like mine,’” Garza Villa said. “I was doing like a Canto Contigo tour and I had this one girl come up to me, and she was like, ‘I love this book because like I’m a trans Chicana, and I have never seen a trans Chicana in a book before.’ The happiness of feeling seen, I think is just so meaningful and so that you really can’t take away.” Garza Villa also found community among other authors in Reyes’s “QPOC Chat,” a group where queer and trans authors of color talked about what they were reading and writing. The two met through a giveaway Reyes held called “Query Critiques,” in which up-and-coming authors who donated to a cause received Reyes’s feedback on their book’s query letter before sending it to literary agents. “Jonny entered . . . and then we became friends, and then we started trading manuscripts and reading each other’s books,” Reyes said. Reyes and Garza Villa first met in person during the COVID-19 pandemic, when both authors quarantined together in a cabin in the woods for Novel November, a challenge to write a novel in one month. During that time, Reyes wrote a novel that will be published in the future, and Garza Villa wrote their 2024 book “Canto Contigo.” The book, which won the Stonewall Book Award for Young Adult Literature, is described by Garza Villa as a “half grief novel, half rivals-to-lovers of romance,” set in a world of high school mariachi. Sonido Reyes talks with a library staff member while signing a copy of “To Our Untamed Core” after the Oct. 17 author talk. Topacio "Topaz" Servellon / Tucson Spotilght. With Twitter’s transition to X, the community chat broke off, but Reyes was still looking for ideas on how to retain that sense of community. “I texted the group chat, which Jonny is a part of, and I said, ‘Somebody tell me that I don’t have time to start a podcast,’” Reyes said. “Instead of telling me that I don’t have time, Jonny said, ‘Do you need help?’ This would be so much more fun with a friend. So I responded, ‘Yeah, I need help. Let’s do it.’” Reyes and Garza Villa started the “Bidi Bidi Book Pod” podcast to highlight queer and trans BIPOC storytellers while sharing their personal experiences within the publishing industry. Reyes and Garza Villa both write books that pay homage to their Hispanic heritage, a major connecting point to readers. “When I wrote ‘The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School,’ I knew I was going to allow (the protagonist) to be like as Mexican as she is, as as Mexican as I am, and I thought that that meant that I had to pull back on other aspects, like I couldn’t make her neurodivergent,” Reyes said. “When it’s about my experience, whether it’s my culture, my identity, my queerness, my neurodivergence, my heritage, all of those things, they come more naturally, and I don’t necessarily have to think about how am I going to fit this in here.” For Garza Villa, connecting with that heritage came later in life. “I really love celebrating my culture as someone who grew up super assimilated and had to kind of figure out how to de-assimilate myself,” Garza Villa said. “If I’m going to tell a story, (I) celebrate those sort of cultural aspects and ancestral aspects that I’m now really proud of as an adult.” Garza Villa also uses stories to critique parts of that community. “I love mariachi. It’s such a big part of my upbringing and my family . . . but it’s also incredibly traditional, and when you have something traditional, like it can easily be queerphobic and transphobic and anti-Black,” Garza Villa said. “To be able to tell a story that shows both of those things and can appreciate one while also showing what it is to make your own space.” Topacio “Topaz” Servellon is a reporter with Tucson Spotlight.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N. Y.) and distributed to key allies makes the case that the lawmaker has evolved from a progressive firebrand into a formidable national political force. The five-page document makes no mention of a potential 2028 presidential or Senate run. Instead, it urges stakeholders to view her record as that of one of the Democratic Party's most effective messengers for working-class voters. Following President Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory, the memo states, Ocasio-Cortez launched an aggressive nationwide push to rebuild the party around economic populism and establish a broad movement for working families. CARVILLE TORCHES DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS AS 'PACK OF FOOLS,' PRAISES AOC'S POLITICAL EVOLUTION "Over the past two years, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has built a record of success that extends beyond her own electoral victories," the memo reads. "The Congresswoman has emerged as one of the most powerful endorsements in the United States and New York State specifically. Candidates from rural districts and battleground seats see her as an asset for their general election campaigns." The document highlights her fundraising reach, citing more than 2 million contributions totaling $38 million, an average donation of $17. 56, and over $3 million funneled to other Democratic candidates and state parties. 'SQUAD' RAKES IN RECORD $2.35M WHILE SLAMMING THE DOOR ON COP DONATIONS Her small fundraising operation is unmatched in the House and rivals that of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., the memo claims. According to the document, Ocasio-Cortez’s strategy was shaped by post-2024 conversations with "Trump-AOC" split-ticket voters in her New York district, who expressed deep, cross-partisan frustration with a political establishment perceived as favoring corporate billionaires over ordinary workers. BERNIE SANDERS ADMITS DEMOCRATS FAILED WORKING-CLASS VOTERS ON ECONOMICS, DRIVING THEM TO DONALD TRUMP "As Democrats tried to understand why Trump had won again, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez argued that the path for the party to win back working class voters should be centered on economic populism, confronting concentrated wealth and power, and revitalizing American democracy," the memo states. The memo points to race-altering endorsements in key primary and general election races across California, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Montana. It highlights Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate campaign in Michigan and Sam Forstag’s Congressional primary victory in Montana as central case studies of her influence in rural and conservative-leaning areas. AOC SIDES WITH BERNIE-BACKED PROGRESSIVE IN SENATE PRIMARY CLASH WITH SCHUMER ESTABLISHMENT Forstag trailed significantly in the polls before joining Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders on stage at their "Fighting Oligarchy" rally in Missoula, Montana. Following her endorsement and appearance, he was able to erase the deficit and win the Democratic primary. The document outlines a turning point following her unsuccessful bid for ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, alongside a March 2025 budget standoff in which Senate Democratic leadership accepted concessions during federal shutdown negotiations. In response, Ocasio-Cortez shifted focus to taking her message directly to voters. BERNIE SANDERS DISMISSES HALEY STEVENS, SAYS MICHIGAN RACE IS AGAINST THE 'BILLIONAIRE CLASS' Speaking at a rally in Idaho, Ocasio-Cortez laid out the central thesis of her national tour: "I want us all to understand that this constant pressure we feel in our lives—of the water rising up to our throats, the impossibility to afford anything easily, the fear of speaking up or being who we are in public, the bitter divisions driven more by online algorithms than the truth, the crumbling of our rights and protections— understand that this, right now, is what it feels like to be governed by billionaires," she said. In the two years since, the memo states, Ocasio-Cortez has held large-scale rallies in purple, red, and blue places alike. "She made race-changing endorsements in swing districts and deep-blue party primaries, as well as in her home base of New York City," the memo added.

Apa, 24, set out to run the world-famous race on Nov. 1 for the first time, along with more than 60,000 other runners. The former Bucknell University Division I field hockey player had reportedly trained for the marathon for months. The New York Times reported details from the runner's parents, Michelle and Steve Apa, on Monday. HEALTHY ATHLETE HAD NO SYMPTOMS BEFORE MANDATORY HEART SCREENING REVEALED HIDDEN DEFECT Michelle Apa said she watched her daughter run by at mile 14 in Long Island City, Queens. She took a video of Apa looking strong, smiling and giving out high-fives before taking off again. The runner's mother then headed toward the finish line, planning to wait for her daughter at mile 25 in Central Park. Steve Apa was back home in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, sending his daughter supportive texts at every mile as he tracked her in the New York Road Runners app. Rachel Apa reportedly texted her father back at mile 18, saying, "Ow." And once again at mile 19, "Ow ow." MYSTERIOUS DISEASE SENDING YOUNG, HEALTHY TEXAS WORKERS INTO KIDNEY FAILURE At mile 23, Steve Apa texted, "Final stretch." Rachel Apa never responded again, according to The New York Times. Spectator Michaela Nicholas reportedly witnessed Apa pass by in her matching green shorts and tank top near mile 24 in Central Park. She cheered Apa on with only two miles to go. Seconds later, at around 1:30 p.m., Apa collapsed. Nicholas, who is a hospital social worker, ran over to help and declared that Apa did not have a pulse. After Nicholas’ fiancée called for a doctor, two people who claimed to be physicians hopped in, taking turns administering CPR. Nicholas said she held Apa’s hand the whole time. The New York Road Runners, the marathon organizers, told the Times that marathon medical staff arrived soon after and used a defibrillator to try to revive Apa. Paramedics then arrived with an ambulance. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER After realizing Apa was not moving in the tracking app, Michelle Apa reportedly headed to her daughter's location. When she arrived, the ambulance transporting her daughter was pulling away. Michelle Apa was taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center, where doctors worked to save Rachel Apa’s life for more than six hours. She was declared dead at around 9:40 p.m., according to the report. Steve Apa told The New York Times that his daughter's cause of death was rhabdomyolysis, a rare muscle condition that occurs after injury, severe dehydration and overheating, or, most typically, excessive, high-intensity exercise without rest. "It’s unfathomable," he said. "Perfect health, perfect shape, 24 years old." The condition, also known as rhabdo, causes the muscles to break down when over-exerted, which leads to muscle death, according to Cleveland Clinic. When this disintegration occurs, toxic components of the muscle fibers can enter the circulatory system and kidneys, which can cause kidney damage, essentially acting as poison to the body. CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES Common signs of rhabdo include weak muscles, muscle stiffness and swelling, muscle pain and a change in urine shade, closer to a brown, red or tea color. It can also lead to nausea, dehydration and loss of consciousness. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, typically developing one to three days after the muscle injury. The condition is life-threatening, as physicians encourage listening to your body and seeking medical attention immediately. "If you feel especially sore or tired during a workout, stop and rest," Cleveland Clinic recommends. "Don’t push yourself beyond safe limits." "[Stay] hydrated and avoid getting overheated. Take breaks in the shade if you’re doing physical activity in the heat." The New York Road Runners told the Times that the last marathon death occurred during a medical incident in 2024. In a statement responding to Apa’s death, the organization said, "We are deeply saddened by the death of one of our runners following yesterday’s race. Our thoughts and sincere sympathies are with the runner’s family, friends and the entire running community." Fox News Digital reached out to the New York Road Runners for comment. Rachel Apa was working as a product manager for an electrical component company while working on receiving her MBA at Charleston Southern University, according to the report. She was running to raise money to fight Parkinson’s disease, in honor of her late grandfather. On the Parkinson’s Champions fundraising website, Apa wrote what her grandfather meant to her. "My grandfather was my role model growing up," she said. "He taught me to stay active, push my limits and embrace challenges, shaping my love for sports and movement." "Later in life, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and I watched as the disease slowly took away the freedom to move that he once loved so much. He passed away in 2022, but the lessons he taught me continue to drive me forward."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aea2f49726b22deeb6a7f1b AOC campaign memo frames growth from progressive firebrand to national Democratic Party force te 2026-11-03T19:00:25.193Z AOC campaign memo frames growth from progressive firebrand to national Democratic Party force An internal strategy memo released by the campaign committee for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N. Y.) and distributed to key allies makes the case that the lawmaker has evolved from a progressive firebrand into a formidable national political force. The five-page document makes no mention of a potential 2028 presidential or Senate run. Instead, it urges stakeholders to view her record as that of one of the Democratic Party's most effective messengers for working-class voters. Following President Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory, the memo states, Ocasio-Cortez launched an aggressive nationwide push to rebuild the party around economic populism and establish a broad movement for working families. CARVILLE TORCHES DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS AS 'PACK OF FOOLS,' PRAISES AOC'S POLITICAL EVOLUTION "Over the past two years, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has built a record of success that extends beyond her own electoral victories," the memo reads. "The Congresswoman has emerged as one of the most powerful endorsements in the United States and New York State specifically. Candidates from rural districts and battleground seats see her as an asset for their general election campaigns." The document highlights her fundraising reach, citing more than 2 million contributions totaling $38 million, an average donation of $17. 56, and over $3 million funneled to other Democratic candidates and state parties. 'SQUAD' RAKES IN RECORD $2.35M WHILE SLAMMING THE DOOR ON COP DONATIONS Her small fundraising operation is unmatched in the House and rivals that of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., the memo claims. According to the document, Ocasio-Cortez’s strategy was shaped by post-2024 conversations with "Trump-AOC" split-ticket voters in her New York district, who expressed deep, cross-partisan frustration with a political establishment perceived as favoring corporate billionaires over ordinary workers. BERNIE SANDERS ADMITS DEMOCRATS FAILED WORKING-CLASS VOTERS ON ECONOMICS, DRIVING THEM TO DONALD TRUMP "As Democrats tried to understand why Trump had won again, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez argued that the path for the party to win back working class voters should be centered on economic populism, confronting concentrated wealth and power, and revitalizing American democracy," the memo states. The memo points to race-altering endorsements in key primary and general election races across California, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Montana. It highlights Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate campaign in Michigan and Sam Forstag’s Congressional primary victory in Montana as central case studies of her influence in rural and conservative-leaning areas. AOC SIDES WITH BERNIE-BACKED PROGRESSIVE IN SENATE PRIMARY CLASH WITH SCHUMER ESTABLISHMENT Forstag trailed significantly in the polls before joining Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders on stage at their "Fighting Oligarchy" rally in Missoula, Montana. Following her endorsement and appearance, he was able to erase the deficit and win the Democratic primary. The document outlines a turning point following her unsuccessful bid for ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, alongside a March 2025 budget standoff in which Senate Democratic leadership accepted concessions during federal shutdown negotiations. In response, Ocasio-Cortez shifted focus to taking her message directly to voters. BERNIE SANDERS DISMISSES HALEY STEVENS, SAYS MICHIGAN RACE IS AGAINST THE 'BILLIONAIRE CLASS' Speaking at a rally in Idaho, Ocasio-Cortez laid out the central thesis of her national tour: "I want us all to understand that this constant pressure we feel in our lives—of the water rising up to our throats, the impossibility to afford anything easily, the fear of speaking up or being who we are in public, the bitter divisions driven more by online algorithms than the truth, the crumbling of our rights and protections— understand that this, right now, is what it feels like to be governed by billionaires," she said. In the two years since, the memo states, Ocasio-Cortez has held large-scale rallies in purple, red, and blue places alike. "She made race-changing endorsements in swing districts and deep-blue party primaries, as well as in her home base of New York City," the memo added.

In a bizarre Election Day morning rant, the "Morning Joe" host claimed that McAfee was "ruining GameDay" and that he's "had enough." That led Scarborough to declare that the election could become a referendum on McAfee and high-testosterone men. "While we're talking football, does anybody want to get in trouble? I'll just say it myself. I've just had enough of this. Pat McAfee ruining 'College GameDay.' I look forward to waking up on Saturday mornings and watching that. And I don't know if they haven't got the message yet, but the manosphere that we all thought was brought in in '24, it may get washed aside. And maybe you aren't having to be, you know, yelling at people and being freaked out because two kids in Utah put up signs or say something that might offend you." FBI ADVISED ESPN STAR PAT MCAFEE TO WEAR A BULLETPROOF VEST AFTER CHARLIE KIRK’S ASSASSINATION The last sentence is a reference to McAfee saying he felt unsafe during a recent ESPN stop at the University of Utah. "Do you know what Nick Saban calls that? Tuesday! It's like, and he's melting down," Scarborough continued. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! This would be the same Joe Scarborough who declared in March 2024 that Joe Biden was at his "best Biden ever" level despite what the rest of us saw with our own eyes. "Morning Joe," at the time, said that Biden was totally all there. "He was as sharp as anybody else I’ve spoken to and spoke actually like a man who’s been doing this since he was 29 years old and new world leaders," Scarborough said of Biden. How'd that work out? Now the MS NOW blowhard wants us to believe that American voters are declaring McAfee as public enemy No. 1, and they're voting for woke candidates as a "gotcha" to the GameDay host. That's quite a feather in Pat's cap. Gallup reported last week that the top concerns for voters this cycle are the economy, healthcare, war, income, gas prices, immigration, abortion, the Middle East/Palestine, crime, data centers and climate change. Nowhere in the latest Gallup poll do we see "Pat McAfee" or the "manosphere" as a hot issue. To our knowledge, not a single political candidate used Pat McAfee in an attack ad.

Justin Amash — who announced on Monday that he did not vote for Abdul El-Sayed or former Rep. Mike Rogers in Michigan's U.S. Senate race — said he thinks El-Sayed would "be far less dangerous in practice than Rogers." Rogers, a Republican candidate endorsed by President Donald Trump, is facing Democratic candidate El-Sayed in the widely-watched Senate contest. "It goes without saying that I have major disagreements with both Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed, and neither one particularly likes me," Amash wrote in a thread on X. "I also don’t vote for 'the lesser of two evils.' I believe you should support a candidate only if you truly want the person to hold that office. I’ve already voted, and consistent with the above principle, I didn’t vote for Rogers or El-Sayed. But I do know which one would be more dangerous in the U.S. Senate — and it’s not even close." ELECTION DAY 2026: VOTERS CAST BALLOTS WITH CONTROL OF CONGRESS ON THE LINE Amash pointed to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., as a political figure who resembles El-Sayed. Sanders has supported El-Sayed in the Senate race. "To assess who is the greater threat to American freedom, let’s take a look at my time in Congress with Rogers and Bernie Sanders, who shares many of El-Sayed’s views and can serve as his stand-in," Amash wrote. "Several of Sanders’s key proposals, in my opinion, would be exceptionally bad for our country. But given the structure of our government, he’s in no position to get those ideas enacted and enforced. "In contrast, Rogers is extraordinarily bad on all the issues on which an individual member of Congress may be the deciding vote. Again, these are issues like war powers, surveillance, privacy, the freedom of speech, criminal justice, and government oversight and accountability," he asserted. "In this world — the real world, not the imaginary one that partisan pundits on the right and left live in — Rogers poses a far greater threat to individual liberty and the Constitution than Sanders. Moreover, it’s not just that Rogers is awful here; it’s that Sanders is actually much better on these issues than the median member of Congress." MICHIGAN VOTERS MAKE SURPRISING CROSS-PARTY CHOICES AS ROGERS, EL-SAYED RACE REACHES FINAL HOURS Amash asserted that between Rogers and El-Sayed, the Democratic candidate would be "less dangerous." "I think it’s fair to view El-Sayed as someone who mostly will follow in Sanders’s footsteps on policy and therefore will be far less dangerous in practice than Rogers," Amash wrote, adding in parentheses, "(Again, El-Sayed as a senator will do many things that are bad. The question addressed at length is not whether he’s good but simply whether he’s better on the whole than Rogers.)" The Rogers and the El-Sayed campaigns did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's requests for comment on Tuesday. MICHIGAN VOTERS WEIGH IN AFTER DEM REP HALEY STEVENS ENDORSES GOP CANDIDATE Amash, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from early 2011 until early 2021, voted to impeach President Donald Trump in late 2019. While he served most of his congressional tenure as a Republican, Amash switched to Independent in 2019 and then to Libertarian in 2020. He lost the 2024 GOP Michigan U.S. Senate primary to Rogers. Rogers went on to lose the general election that year to Democrat Elissa Slotkin, who was a House lawmaker at the time. Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., who lost the Democratic Senate primary to El-Sayed this year, shook up the 2026 general election when she endorsed Rogers on Sunday.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aea2ab5726b22deeb6a7d76 These college football coordinators will be the next big head coaches, according to 'Film Guy' Brooks Austin te 2026-11-03T18:40:53.281Z These college football coordinators will be the next big head coaches, according to 'Film Guy' Brooks Austin In a surprising turn of events, Florida State recently fired its embattled head coach, Mike Norvell, after a 3-5 start to the season. While his record would indicate it was long past time for him to hit the road, the shocking part of it all is the fact that FSU was willing to pay his exorbitant buyout, which is reported to be around $50 million when all is said and done. This means one of the premiere coaching jobs in college football has suddenly, and perhaps unexpectedly, come open, and the Seminoles will be in the market for a new head coach in the coming months. COLLEGE FOOTBALL COACHING CAROUSEL COULD EXPLODE AS LINCOLN RILEY AND DEION SANDERS FACE MOUNTING PRESSURE Many expect the Noles to take a swing at a big, currently established head coaching name, but recent history shows that may not be the smartest play. Some programs think they need to make a big splash hire, when in actuality, the best candidates are often the ones hiding in plain sight. Take the Kentucky Wildcats, for example. They fired Mark Stoops after a 13-year stint in Lexington, and instead of parking a Brinks truck in front of a seasoned veteran, they handed the keys to Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein. The results speak for themselves, as the Wildcats lead the SEC eight games into the season. FORMER NFL QB PHILIP RIVERS HAS BECOME A SERIOUS OPTION FOR NC STATE OPENING AMID COLLEGE FOOTBALL CAROUSEL All that is to say, who will be the next hot-shot coordinator to take a job like Florida State and become the greatest thing since sliced bread? One man who has a few names on his list is college football analyst Brooks Austin. Austin watches hours of tape a week and identifies the best units across the country, and when I asked him about who the next big name will be when scouring the coordinator ranks, he had more than a few options. "I've always studied Buster Faulkner at Florida and loved what he's done," Austin says. "I loved what he did at at Georgia Tech." While Faulkner was one of the hottest coordinator names in the country heading into October, the months of spooks and scares certainly did a number on the Gators' OC and his reputation among elite playcallers, something Austin admits. "I think Buster... he's kind of gotten tipped off lately in, in this league. People are kind of figuring out what it is he's doing." A name that might be flying under the radar but needs some more attention is Utah offensive coordinator Kevin McGiven. "I watched what Utah does, and I'm like, 'This is fun, man,'" he says with a smile. "This is fun, that you're getting to a different play in a different way every single time you do it." In his first year in Salt Lake City, McGiven has the Utes scoring nearly 39 points per game, and doing so with an innovative two-quarterback system. Austin admits that, while he likes what he's seeing from Utah and McGiven, there is a chance if it doesn't work right away in one of the "big boy leagues," it could fall apart quickly due to the impatience of SEC fans. "If an SEC school hired Kevin McGiven, and it didn't work out in like the first six weeks, are they gonna sit there and go, 'why did we hire this high school offense,'" asks Austin. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER "If you do that, and you hire that at a bigger like like blue blood program, and it doesn't work, people are gonna be like, 'well, duh, he runs a high school offense?'" For all the talk of the offensive side of the ball, there are a few defensive coordinators who have also caught Austin's eye. "Glenn Schumann at Georgia, he's always been a guy that is like really, really smart, and is just such a great teacher of concepts, and is still really young." Another one who fits the mold of young, innovative DC is Bryant Haines at Indiana, whom Austin calls "a lunatic" (that's a positive trait for a defensive coordinator, by the way). One more name Austin mentioned is a guy who is flying way under the radar given his current employer, and that is Louisiana Tech DC Luke Olson. "(Olson) is like 33 (or) 34 years old, and he is highly, highly respected," he mentions "Like when (offenses) go to face this guy, they're like, 'We got a tough one this week.'" "Luke Olson's a dude." Suffice to say, there are a lot of brilliant football minds in the college game right now, and although Florida State may go in a different direction, they can't go wrong taking a look at some of these names. If the Seminoles want a "dude" at head coach, they know where to look.

The rock legend faced criticism from some social media users after backing Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, prompting angry fans to accuse The Boss of crossing a political line. Springsteen, who has never shied away from politics, took aim at President Donald Trump in his endorsement of El-Sayed, portraying the progressive candidate as a defender of American democracy. "Dr. El-Sayed is a fighter for our American Constitution, he’s a fighter for our American Democracy, and he’s a fighter against the corrupt, lawless, and anti-American leadership currently in the White House. That’s why I’m in his corner 100%. Bruce Springsteen," he penned on social media. CHRIS ROBINSON, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FACE BACKLASH AS 'AMERICANS HAVE HAD ENOUGH' OF BEING LECTURED: EXPERT Critics questioned why the New Jersey-born singer was endorsing El-Sayed, given controversies over the candidate's political associations and positions on Israel. "Bruce Springsteen, the guy who spent 40 years cashing in on ‘Born in the USA,’ finally posts after two years of silence just to call an elected American president ‘corrupt, lawless, and anti-American’ while locking arms with Abdul El-Sayed, the same guy who campaigned with Hasan Piker (the streamer who said America deserved 9/11) and still can’t shake the Muslim Brotherhood questions about his own family." METALLICA FRONTMAN JAMES HETFIELD BLASTS ENTERTAINERS PUSHING POLITICAL AGENDAS AT CONCERTS Another commenter criticized the singer's political activism, writing, "The Boss isn’t fighting for the Constitution. He’s just another rich coastal has-been who needs a new reason to hate the country that made him." "Bruce Springsteen who performed at the concert for NY at MSG on 2001 after 9/11….. is now campaigning for a Muslim brotherhood sympathizer," another person wrote. "Did I not have this on my bingo card for today." Another longtime fan expressed sadness and anger over what they viewed as Springsteen's failure to understand the impact of his endorsement on those who have long fought antisemitism. "Shame on you. You are not educated to understand what your endorsement means to so many life long fans and good people that are fighting antisemitism and hatred for thousands of years. You are acting like an ignorant uneducated school child. You did this for what reason? This is so foolish. I’m so sad., I’m 59 years old.. Shame on me for thinking you were educated and smarter. Take the time to understand the other point of view." However, not everyone was ready to turn on the rock icon. EL-SAYED'S SILENCE OVER MOM'S FBI QUESTIONING RAISES TRANSPARENCY CONCERNS Springsteen's endorsement drew support from El-Sayed backers, including one self-described frequent concertgoer who accused critics of unfairly targeting the Democratic candidate. "As a huge Springsteen fan, and veteran of over 50 different shows around the country, and a resident of Michigan, and supporter of Dr. Abdul El Sayed, I support this message 100%. I suspect that some of your Jewish fans may have issues with this, but that's their problem. That just shows their bigotry. They're the first ones to … complain about the racism and bigotry of Maga, and yet here they are doing the same damn thing to Abdul. Anyway Bruce, thank you for supporting the good Dr. and always being on the side of the good guys." "Fully with you, he's the man," one supporter wrote. PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE "Thank you Bruce. History is about to be made. Abdul is more than qualified," another added. Another commenter questioned El-Sayed's political beliefs and policy positions. "Would love to know exactly what El-Sayed’s beliefs and what he is doing that American you love so much? America is not a socialist country nor is socialism the USA’s belief no matter who has been in the Oval Office." Meanwhile, El-Sayed's Republican opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., accused the Democratic candidate of misleading Michigan voters about his views on the Muslim Brotherhood, pointing to reported associations involving members of El-Sayed's family. El-Sayed previously told Fox News that he has "never been" and will "never be" a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Fox News Digital is not aware of any direct ties between El-Sayed and the organization. Springsteen also released a second video message addressing election officials and government representatives, urging them to protect the integrity of the voting process. "Hi, it’s Bruce Springsteen. I’m speaking to election officials and representatives of our government on election day. You have sworn an oath to preserve, protect, and defend our constitution." GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE He continued, "That means you have a solemn duty to ensure that our votes are securely counted.

Our vote is our voice, and it’s up to you to ensure that our voice is heard. I wish you all a good election day, and thank you for your service." The accompanying caption urged followers who had not yet voted to do so and directed them to OathProject.org to take what Springsteen described as an "Oath to the Constitution."

The individual, who had underlying medical conditions, was hospitalized with severe illness after contracting avian influenza through exposure to infected livestock at a local dairy facility. Local officials declined to release the person’s name, age or gender, citing privacy concerns. H5N1 BIRD FLU CONFIRMED IN AUSTRALIA FOR THE FIRST TIME, MEANING VIRUS HAS NOW REACHED EVERY CONTINENT "Our hearts go out to the individual's family and loved ones during this difficult time," Dr. Dave Atteberry, health officer for the Yakima Health District, said in a statement. "Avian influenza can cause severe illness, particularly among people who have underlying health conditions," he went on. "While this is a serious and heartbreaking outcome, the risk to the general public remains low." Health officials on Monday also confirmed a third human case of avian influenza in Yakima County. That individual, who was also exposed to infected dairy cattle at a local farm, has not been hospitalized and has not experienced severe illness. Public health teams are actively tracing and monitoring close contacts of both individuals for potential symptoms. RARE TICK-BORNE VIRUS TURNS DEADLY FAST AS US CASES REACH RECORD HIGH, EXPERTS WARN "People at greater risk include dairy workers and others who have close or prolonged contact with infected animals or environments contaminated with the virus," the health district said in an advisory. "If you work on a dairy farm and develop symptoms after potential exposure to infected cattle, contact your health care provider or the Yakima Health District." Avian influenza, or bird flu, is a disease caused by influenza type A viruses that typically spread among wild aquatic birds and domestic poultry, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In recent years, an outbreak of the H5N1 strain has expanded beyond birds to infect various mammals, including domestic dairy cows and outdoor livestock. Federal and state health officials emphasize that the overall risk to the general public remains low. Person-to-person spread of bird flu is extremely rare and has not been identified in the U.S., according to the CDC.

In a bizarre Election Day morning rant, the "Morning Joe" host claimed that McAfee was "ruining GameDay" and that he's "had enough." That led Scarborough to declare that the election could become a referendum on McAfee and high-testosterone men. "While we're talking football, does anybody want to get in trouble? I'll just say it myself. I've just had enough of this. Pat McAfee ruining 'College GameDay.' I look forward to waking up on Saturday mornings and watching that. And I don't know if they haven't got the message yet, but the manosphere that we all thought was brought in in '24, it may get washed aside. And maybe you aren't having to be, you know, yelling at people and being freaked out because two kids in Utah put up signs or say something that might offend you." FBI ADVISED ESPN STAR PAT MCAFEE TO WEAR A BULLETPROOF VEST AFTER CHARLIE KIRK’S ASSASSINATION The last sentence is a reference to McAfee saying he felt unsafe during a recent ESPN stop at the University of Utah. "Do you know what Nick Saban calls that? Tuesday! It's like, and he's melting down," Scarborough continued. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! This would be the same Joe Scarborough who declared in March 2024 that Joe Biden was at his "best Biden ever" level despite what the rest of us saw with our own eyes. "Morning Joe," at the time, said that Biden was totally all there. "He was as sharp as anybody else I’ve spoken to and spoke actually like a man who’s been doing this since he was 29 years old and new world leaders," Scarborough said of Biden. How'd that work out? Now the MSNBC blowhard wants us to believe that American voters are declaring McAfee as public enemy No. 1, and they're voting for woke candidates as a "gotcha" to the GameDay host. That's quite a feather in Pat's cap. Gallup reported last week that the top concerns for voters this cycle are the economy, healthcare, war, income, gas prices, immigration, abortion, the Middle East/Palestine, crime, data centers and climate change. Nowhere in the latest Gallup poll do we see "Pat McAfee" or the "manosphere" as a hot issue. To our knowledge, not a single political candidate used Pat McAfee in an attack ad.

Susan Collins, R-Maine, was vandalized Monday night for the second time in a month, Collins' chief of staff told Fox News. After vandals previously spray-painted the building's door in September, saboteurs on Monday dumped a bucket of red paint in front of the location while writing in crimson — "BLOOD on her HANDS" — on the sidewalk in front of the building. "This is another incident in a series and the second attempt at our Biddeford office to intimidate the Senator and her staff. These tactics are disturbing, but not effective.

If you're not a big college football fan, you may not realize that there are games almost every night at this point. That hasn't always been the case; it seems like the MAC was the only conference that really played during the week. Either way, it starts tonight, and we have a good one brewing between Buffalo and Miami (Ohio). The Buffalo Bulls come into the game with a 5-3 record and a 3-1 mark in the conference. The Bulls were one of my favorite teams a few years ago, when they were running everyone ragged on the field. Their identity has changed a bit, but they still have built their team around a strong running game. Their main ball-carrier, Messiah Burch, has run for 845 yards for the season with five touchdowns. Averaging over 100 yards per game, no matter what conference you play in, is impressive. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE So far, the Bulls have played some decent competition. They started the year with a game against UAlbany, and they won by four points. They probably should've had an easier time in that game, but I'll excuse it since it was the first game of the season. The next two games were against Florida International and Penn State, both losses. Florida International beat them by 13, and Penn State routed them by 42. Buffalo really is only effective on the road, not even throwing for 200 yards in a game this season. Over the past five games, they've gone 4-1, beating Robert Morris, Toledo, Massachusetts and Bowling Green. Their lone loss was against Western Michigan. On the other side of the field is Miami (Ohio) RedHawks. They are also 5-3 for the season and have a 3-1 record in the MAC. The parallels between the two teams don't really end there. Miami Ohio is more of a run-first team, but they rely on their quarterback to scramble about as much as they are looking for their lead back to get them yards. Part of the issue is that their main quarterback coming into the season, David McComb, is injured. He was racking up passing yards in the first four games. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER In the next four games, Caleb Heavner, their new quarterback, has thrown for a total of 579 passing yards. McComb had 646 in his final two games. The RedHawks started the season against Pittsburgh and lost 59-14. They destroyed Holy Cross the next game, and then lost to Cincinnati on the road. They won against UConn, but lost their MAC opener to Bowling Green. Since then, they have won three straight against Massachusetts, Akron, and Central Michigan. Tonight is a battle between two decent MAC teams. The Bulls are going to run the ball as much as possible, and that will likely milk the clock. I could see the under being a good look here. The RedHawks will run more often than throw as well. However, I think a lower-scoring game gives the Bulls a chance to win or at least cover. They are getting six points, and I think they are the correct side in this game. Give me the Bulls +6 tonight.

Los monitores, generalmente abogados del Departamento de Justicia, observarán el proceso de votación y se asegurarán de que el condado de Pima cumpla con la Ley de Derecho al Voto, según el comunicado de prensa del condado de Pima. La Ley de Derecho al Voto fue creada para reducir al mínimo la discriminación en la votación.

Lo que es diferente este año, informa Votebeat, es que la administración Trump está enviando un número sin precedentes de monitores a los centros de votación: alrededor de 1,000 monitores electorales estarán en localidades de todo el país. Votebeat señaló que, para llegar a 1,000 monitores, podría ser necesario reclutar personal de fuera del Departamento de Justicia. Aunque la administración Trump ha intentado influir en los resultados de las elecciones de 2026, incluido acudir a los tribunales para bloquear los resultados de una elección al Senado en Alaska si el candidato republicano pierde, el comportamiento de los monitores federales sigue estando regido por reglas específicas.

Penn State te 2026-11-03T17:30:20.073Z Demond Williams Jr. Expected To Be Washington's Starting QB Vs. Penn State Demond Williams Jr.’s time away from being Washington’s starting quarterback did not last long. Washington head coach Jedd Fisch said Monday that, barring any lingering injury issues, the junior out of Chandler, Arizona, would start the Huskies’ home game against Penn State on Saturday. The move follows Washington’s 17-10 win at Nebraska this past weekend when Williams came off the bench in the fourth quarter and led the Huskies — who had managed just three points in the first three quarters — to an improbable comeback victory. Williams finished 7 for 13 passing for 99 yards. No play was bigger than a 24-yard completion to Chris Lawson on a fourth-and-18 play with 1:42 remaining. That set up a 25-yard touchdown pass to Lawson on a catch-and-run two plays later. "If Demond is feeling good, I don’t see why he wouldn’t play and start," Fisch said. "… He took some hits in that game, so we’ve got to make sure that he’s good to go and that he feels right. If he feels right, hopefully we can play off the momentum of the fourth quarter." Williams had been out since halftime of Washington’s 41-24 loss to Iowa on Oct. 9, when he suffered a fractured rib on the Huskies’ final drive of a first half. He had thrown for 69 yards and was sacked four times. Transfer Elijah Brown replaced Williams and threw for 251 yards and three touchdowns, and then went 21 for 27 for 302 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions in the Huskies’ 38-26 win at Purdue on Oct. 16 while Williams continued to recover. When he was injured, Williams had a 145.7 quarterback rating to begin the year, which ranked 10th in the Big Ten. Fisch didn’t name a starter coming out of Washington’s bye week, saying only that both quarterbacks would be available. Brown ended up getting his second straight start, but the UW offense struggled against Nebraska’s defense. Brown went 19 for 30 for 136 yards in the first quarters. Fisch put Williams in to provide a spark, and that’s just what happened. Now, the Huskies will see if he can continue to do so. Reporting by The Associated Press. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aea1a29726b22deeb6a78ef Texas, Star Madison Booker Still Chasing A National Title After Transfer Exodus te 2026-11-03T17:30:17.642Z Texas, Star Madison Booker Still Chasing A National Title After Transfer Exodus Madison Booker and Texas earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive year, and made it to the Final Four twice in a row after 20 years away. Then the Longhorns watched three key players walk out the door. That's life in the modern era of the transfer portal and player mobility. The exodus has hardly seemed to phase Longhorns coach Vic Shaefer and the team they left behind, or tempered the expectations surrounding the program. With do-everything All-American Booker still leading the way, Texas starts the season ranked No. 6 and is considered a strong threat to No. 1 South Carolina for the Southeastern Conference championship. Texas opens the season Wednesday night against Fairleigh Dickinson. Still, it was a surprise when the Longhorns returned home from a Final Four loss to UCLA and watched Jordan Lee transfer to South Carolina, guard Aaliyah Crump transfer to Duke and forward Justice Carlton transfer to Houston. "That broke my heart, but at the end of they day, they are individual players and have to do what’s best for them," Texas point guard Bryanna Preston said. All three played big roles in chasing Texas' first national championship since its only one in 1986. Lee and Crump were two of the biggest transfer moves in the country. Lee was Texas' No. 2 scoring leader at 13.2 points last season and is a top-level perimeter defender. She started and scored 13 in her South Carolina debut against Maryland. Crump was limited because of injuries last season but was one of the top recruits in the country out of high school. Booker seemed little interested in looking back or even wondering why a former teammate would leave. "I mean, that's their journey," Booker said. "What they thought is going to be better for their journey is what they thought. I'm supporting them always." Over the past five seasons, Texas leaned on point guard Rori Harmon on both ends of the court. Harmon is the only player in Division I history with more than 1,500 points, 900 assists, 600 rebounds and 350 steals. She is now in the WNBA with the Washington Mystics. Harmon was tiny but she dogged opponents with relentless defense and was typically assigned to defend the opponents' top perimeter player. That is likely Preston's job now. "Rori was fast. Bri’s electric. I’m excited to see her this year. She’s really special. I don’t worry about her running our team or doing things for us on offense," Schaefer said. "What we’ll have a hard time replacing is the defense. Who is going to step to be that No. 1 defender?" Booker drives Texas. As a freshman, she took over Harmon's point guard duties when Harmon was sidelined for most of the season with a knee injury. With her size, ballhandling and free-flowing jump shot, she is a matchup nightmare for smaller guards and slower forwards. She's also no longer a kid. She's a fourth-year player who has already taken her place in program history and now wants to bring home a championship. Booker also comes into this season off the worst game of her career in the Final Four loss to UCLA. Booker shot just 3 of 23 with a string of 17 consecutive misses. Her driving layup to get Texas within one in the final 20 seconds was blocked. It was her second bad game in a Final Four. Booker scored only 11 points in a blowout loss to South Carolina in 2025. "It's a new year and a new team. That loss was heartbreaking ... but it's in the past, we move on. That was my mentality," Booker said. Booker needs just 31 points to become the program's fourth career 2,000-point scorer. After the loss to UCLA, Booker took a month off and then returned to practice with a clear motivation to chase the elusive national championship. "I thought about what I need to get better and that was to be a three-level scorer ... and use my voice to put confidence in a young group," Booker said. "That's my whole approach. I can't be good without my teammates." Schaefer and the Longhorns will be leaning on her again. "In my mind, Madison Booker is the best player in the country," Schaefer said. "Every night when we take the floor, I feel good about that." Reporting by The Associated Press.

The board relayed that it is communicating with state and county officials and with poll workers to address the issue while repeatedly affirming to voters that all paper ballots will be counted. WATCHDOG, GOP LAWMAKER WARN NY VOTER REGISTRATION SYSTEMS LACKS KEY SAFEGUARDS "Voters should continue to complete their paper ballots as instructed by poll workers. Ballots that cannot be processed by voting machines will be placed in designated orange emergency ballot bags, which will remain secure and monitored. These ballots will subsequently be counted," the BOE said. In a statement, Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said, "My office is fully aware of the ongoing problems with ballots and voting scanners across Westchester County, and I want to be absolutely clear: this situation is unacceptable. "Voters should remain in line and exercise their right to vote. Every eligible voter will have the opportunity to cast their ballot, and every vote must be counted. I have directed County officials, including representatives from our Law Department, to monitor the voting process and ensure that voters can cast their ballots without interference and that every vote is properly and accurately counted. "Once these issues are resolved, I will convene a bipartisan team to conduct a thorough review of the decisions and failures that led to this debacle, determine where accountability lies and ensure that this never happens again. "Westchester County voters deserve a fair, secure and seamless election process. Today, we have fallen short of that standard. The voters deserve better, and I intend to make sure they get it," Jenkins said. Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., first alerted voters to an apparent ballot scanner problem in the county in a Tuesday morning post on X. OUTGOING HOUSE DEMOCRAT BACKS INCUMBENT REPUBLICAN LAWMAKER FOR RE-ELECTION "There is a problem with every ballot scanner in Westchester County. We do not yet know the exact cause of the issue, whether it is the ballot or the machine. The Board of Elections is working with their vendors to resolve it," Lawler wrote. "However, every ballot will be counted. Stay on line and vote. Do not leave the polling place without voting," Lawler's post concluded. Lawler also revealed while speaking to CNN reporters outside a polling location in Pearl River, New York, that the issue appeared to be that the paper ballots were too thick to be read by the machines. "There was an issue with the thickness of the ballot and the formatting of the machines. And so none of the machines were accepting the ballot across the entire county," Lawler told CNN. "As is often the case, when there's an emergency, they take the ballot, and they put it in an emergency voting bag. Every ballot will be counted. And everybody should be rest assured that their vote will count. They should wait on line. I know the lines may be impacted a little bit. With some delays, but do not leave the line. Make sure you vote. Your vote will be counted. The machines are being fixed," he said. The board echoed Lawler's insistence that all votes would be counted. "We strongly encourage all voters to remain in line, exercise patience and, most importantly, cast their ballots," the board added. The board also apologized to voters and to poll workers for the inconvenience. "Let us be absolutely clear: Every eligible vote will be counted. No voter should be discouraged from participating in this election because of this issue. Your voice matters. Your vote matters. Please stay in line and vote," the board's statement said. Voter Patrick Reagan, who has been voting in Westchester County for the last 40 years, spoke to Fox News outside a polling place in Yonkers. "I hope all the votes are going to be corrected properly and accounted for. And, you know, it's a big year for everybody just voting. You know, we need to keep the country safe and good. And I hope, it's going to turn out the way I wanted to," Reagan said. Voter Linda Giaimo, a woman who took her friend to vote, said she would be calling the Board of Elections about what was happening on Election Day. "It's all through Westchester County, that all these machines are down. So now we've got to put our vote in a bag and believe that that bag is going to be delivered. I got a problem with this," Giaimo said. INSIDE HOUSE GOP'S UNPRECEDENTED PUSH TO MONITOR MIDTERM ELECTIONS AND PREPARE FOR LEGAL FIGHTS New York's Democratic Attorney General Letitia James also weighed in. "My office is monitoring this issue with scanners in Westchester and is in touch with the state and local Boards of Elections as they work on a solution. Westchester voters can still safely fill out and turn in their ballots at their polling locations. Your votes will count," she wrote in a Tuesday morning post on X. James also reminded state residents that New York has a dedicated Election Protection Hotline — (866) 390-2992 — to assist New Yorkers experiencing issues at the polls. "Today is your opportunity to make your voice heard, and every eligible New Yorker deserves to cast their ballot without fear or intimidation," James said in a statement. "My office is here to help New Yorkers navigate any problems they encounter at the polls and ensure their voices are heard. If you experience an issue while voting today, call our Election Protection Hotline. We are ready to help," she continued. New York's polls opened at 6 a.m. and will close at 9 p.m. Fox News Digital contacted Rep. Mike Lawler for further comment.

That year, the Badgers beat Tempe for the Class AAA title, the last of the school’s eight state championships. Tony Morales coached the team, which also included Kenny Ball and 6-foot-10 center Elizaro “Chuco” Miranda. Delano Price moved to Tucson from Gary, Indiana. He captained the Badgers, earned first-team all-city and all-state honors, and went on to play at Phoenix College before finishing his degree at the University of Arizona. He spent 33 years as a teacher, coach and administrator in the Sunnyside and Tucson Unified school districts, including as the first Black boys’ basketball coach at Sunnyside High School. Simmons came from Monroe, Louisiana. He earned second-team all-city and all-state honors in 1969, started at Glendale Community College and then played at Texas A&M, where he averaged 30 points and was a two-time All-American, according to the Tucson Weekly. Inspired by Marquez Price’s 2025 sports biography, also titled “The Backcourt,” the film follows the two athletes as they build their basketball careers, take different paths in life and maintain a friendship rooted in their shared experiences. The book came out in January 2025 and became an Amazon bestseller in three categories. Marquez Price has called it a legacy piece he has worked on his whole life. However, the director says the film reaches far beyond basketball. “I hope audiences walk away from the film educated,” Marquez Price said. “The story masquerades as a basketball one, but it’s very layered.” Your gift keeps local news free, bilingual and built for real life.

Courtesy of Marquez Price. The two players met as children in Sugar Hill, a historically Black neighborhood in central Tucson between Stone and Fourth avenues, south of Grant Road. The neighborhood took shape in the 1950s, when Black families began moving in during a time when racial covenants and redlining limited where they could buy homes. The share of Black residents has dropped since the 1980s, which Sugar Hill Community Land Trust founder Sadie Shaw has largely blamed on gentrification. Through personal accounts and testimonies from others, the documentary examines the players’ experiences alongside the history of Sugar Hill, which shaped their lives in the community. For the director, who is Delano Price’s son, making the film also became a chance to uncover previously unknown details about his own family. “The most memorable part of making the film was unveiling intricacies of my family lineage that I was totally unaware of,” Price said. “It was utterly fascinating.” The Nov. 7 event is scheduled for 2 p.m. at The Screening Room, 127 E. Congress St. in downtown Tucson. The event listing also advertises a reading by Price from his book and a live musical score by MicTV. Tickets are available through Eventbrite.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aea10d9726b22deeb6a7681 NCAA basketball betting picks for Tennessee, Alabama and Arkansas on their opening night games te 2026-11-03T16:50:33.810Z NCAA basketball betting picks for Tennessee, Alabama and Arkansas on their opening night games The NCAA basketball season kicked off last night, and there were some pretty exciting games. Unfortunately, for today, I can't say we have a ton of great games on the schedule. Most of them are between top-level squads and some lower-level clubs. That doesn't mean we can't make the games entertaining with some sports betting.  We won our game last night, so let's get another one or two here as we put a play on a few of tonight's games. Let me spoil this one a bit for you; it would take everything going correctly for Wofford to pull off a victory against the Volunteers. That doesn't mean it is impossible. If movies like "The Little Giants" have taught us anything, it is that there is always that one time when the underdog can come out on top. It won't happen tonight, though. Tennessee lost a bunch of guys to the NBA and to the transfer portal, but they rest their team with eight transfers and top-tier freshmen. Their transfer class was ranked second in the nation. The question will be about how quickly this team can gel and get everything connected. Wofford is in the same boat, bringing in nine new players. There are some key returning players, which might give them the edge in the first half of the game. I don't expect Wofford to win, or this to end closely, but I do think the first half could be one the Terriers cover because of the continuity of their team compared to what Tennessee will have. Take the +14.5 in the first half. NO. 1 FLORIDA GATORS FACE NO. 14 MIAMI HURRICANES IN TOP MATCHUP AS COLLEGE BASKETBALL TIPS OFF One of the things most people don't realize about the transfer portal is just how much it impacts the lower-level colleges. Sam Houston and programs like theirs tend to lose anyone who has a breakout year. Their team has some pretty good players still, but depth might be an issue. Alabama has a solid returning core of four guys, and Aden Holloway will lead the offense again. Amari Allen will get more exposure after earning minutes last year.  This is a talented Alabama team, and they've added some good pieces. This game is being played in Tuscaloosa, so they will have a nice home-court advantage as well. I think the Crimson Tide will take this game and cover the big spread. Give me Alabama -26.5. Their pace and Holloway give me confidence that this offense should look good. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER I won't pretend I know much about Arkansas-Pine Bluff. I know about as much as you do, and that's all thanks to the AI of your choice giving you details. However, I do know a bit about Arkansas and what they are looking to do. This is yet another Coach Cal team, so you know that it will focus on high-upside freshmen. Gone is Darius Acuff Jr., who is shooting a million shots per night in the NBA. Billy Richmond III is back and should be a nice combo forward. They have a solid center in Paulo Semedo, who will bring rim protection and get some easy buckets. Miikka Murrinen should be similar to Lauri Markkanen, and not just because they are both Finnish. I think Arkansas will rack up points, but asking them to put up 105 points seems like a big ask for the first game of the season. I expect Cal to work on key plays and things in the game rather than just run the pace up. Go under 104.5 for the Razorbacks team total.

How much would you pay for a phone that turns into a small tablet? Apple is betting the answer is nearly $2,000. After seven years of watching Samsung build folding phones, Apple has finally entered the race with its first-ever foldable iPhone. The new iPhone Duo, which went on sale Oct. 23, opens like a book to reveal a 7.6-inch screen. Its biggest competitor, Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8, offers the same screen size and a remarkably similar design. However, Samsung's phone is lighter and costs about $100 less. Apple has some interesting advantages of its own, including impressive battery performance and a clever screen designed to reduce glare. But there are compromises on both sides, including a repair bill that might make you think twice about carrying either phone without protection. So, has Apple finally cracked the folding phone formula, or does Samsung still have the better idea? Missed CyberGuy LIVE? Watch the replay and discover 5 ways to travel smarter and save money.

Those early devices came with plenty of growing pains, including concerns about screen durability. Since then, Samsung has steadily improved its folding technology. Apple took its time. In fact, we covered one of the company's early ideas in our article about Apple's foldable iPhone patent back in 2023. Now the iPhone Duo is finally here, and Apple has made some interesting design decisions. The phone features a polished titanium frame, Apple's A20 Pro processor and a large inner OLED display. It also introduces a redesigned version of iOS built around the folding experience. Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 takes a different approach. It uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and Samsung's One UI 9 software, which has evolved through several generations of folding phones. That experience gives Samsung an advantage in some areas. However, Apple has already managed to outperform its rival in early battery testing. Let's get the painful part out of the way. The iPhone Duo starts at $1,999 for 256GB of storage. The 512GB model costs $2,199, while the 1TB version jumps to $2,599. If you really want to splurge, Apple's 2TB model costs an eye-watering $3,199. Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 starts at $1,899.99 for 256GB. The 512GB version costs $2,099.99, while the 1TB model reaches $2,499.99. That puts Samsung roughly $100 below Apple at comparable storage levels. Of course, Samsung has another advantage. Its Fold 8 has been on sale since August, so retailers and carriers have had time to introduce promotions. However, I'd look closely at those deals before celebrating the savings. Some carrier offers require a qualifying trade-in or a lengthy commitment to monthly bill credits. There's also a larger question. When you're already spending nearly $2,000, will saving $100 really determine which phone you choose? I suspect the answer comes down to what happens when you actually hold them. One of the first things you'll notice about these phones is how similar they look. Both fold horizontally like a book, with smaller screens on the outside and expansive displays when opened. But there's a noticeable difference in weight. The iPhone Duo weighs 8.96 ounces, compared with 7.09 ounces for Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8. That's almost two ounces heavier for Apple's phone. If you've ever carried a heavy smartphone in your pocket all day, you know how noticeable that can become. The difference could be even more apparent when you're holding the phone open for extended periods. Samsung also wins on thickness. Its Fold 8 measures about 0.38 inches thick when closed, while the Duo measures 0.44 inches. Apple counters with a rounded titanium design that may feel more comfortable in your hand. Samsung uses sharper edges and a flatter appearance. There's also something worth thinking about. Both phones have relatively small outer screens. Apple's measures 5.4 inches, while Samsung's comes in at 5.5 inches. Those screens are perfectly usable for everyday tasks. However, they're considerably smaller than the displays on many conventional flagship phones. You could end up spending $2,000 on a device that requires an extra step whenever you want a bigger screen. That's why I'd recommend trying both in person before buying. The phone that feels exciting for five minutes in a store needs to feel comfortable after five hours in your hand. Both folding phones open to reveal 7.6-inch OLED screens with adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz. Each also offers peak outdoor brightness of 3,000 nits. The real difference comes down to how those displays handle reflections. Apple developed a nano-texture finish for the Duo's inner screen. It creates a matte appearance that helps reduce glare and makes the fold crease harder to see. Anyone who has struggled to read a glossy screen near a sunny window might appreciate this approach. Samsung's screen has a more traditional glossy finish, which can make colors appear richer. Some early iPhone Duo reviews suggest Apple's matte display sacrifices a little contrast and vibrancy to achieve its reduced reflections. Neither approach will appeal to everyone. However, Apple has another interesting feature coming. The iPhone Duo now supports the Apple Pencil (USB-C) through iOS 27.2, which Apple released on October 26. That means you can sketch or annotate documents directly on the folding screen. The feature already works in the software's release candidate. That means you'll be able to sketch or annotate documents directly on the folding screen. Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 does not support the S Pen. Samsung removed the feature as it pursued thinner folding designs. There is one catch with Apple's approach. The Duo works only with the USB-C Apple Pencil. Even if you already own an Apple Pencil Pro, you won't be able to use it with this phone. The USB-C version also lacks the pressure sensitivity available on more advanced Apple Pencil models. Still, this could be useful for someone who regularly signs documents or prefers handwritten notes. Here's where those seven years of Samsung experience become apparent. Let's say you're on a video call and someone sends you an important document. You want to review it without interrupting the conversation. Then you need to check your calendar. Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 can handle several apps on its larger screen. You can run three apps in split-screen mode, and Samsung also offers pop-up windows for additional flexibility. The Fold 8 supports Samsung DeX, too, giving you a desktop-style experience when connected to compatible external displays. Apple has introduced Split View on the Duo, allowing two apps to run side by side. That's a first for the iPhone, and it should make the larger screen far more useful. However, Apple's approach remains more restrictive than Samsung's. Split View uses a fixed arrangement, and you don't get the same floating-window flexibility. There's another issue that early iPhone Duo owners are discovering. Apple redesigned iOS 27 for the Duo, which ships with iOS 27.1. Its own apps have been adapted to use the folding display. However, some third-party apps haven't caught up. Early reviewers found that certain apps display large black bars or awkward layouts when opened on the bigger screen. That could be frustrating when you've paid so much for additional screen space. Fortunately, developers can update their apps to support the Duo's design. Some popular apps have already received updates, and more are expected. For now, though, Samsung has a more established folding software experience. I would also pay attention to which apps you use most. A larger screen loses some of its appeal when your favorite apps still behave as though they're running on a much smaller phone. Folding phones have a difficult job. They need enough battery power to run a large display without becoming too bulky. Apple's iPhone Duo uses two internal batteries and an A20 Pro processor designed for efficient performance. Samsung equips its Galaxy Z Fold 8 with a 4,800mAh battery and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip. Both processors offer plenty of power for demanding apps. However, early independent testing suggests Apple has a surprising advantage when it comes to battery life. In one battery test involving continuous web browsing over 5G, the iPhone Duo reportedly lasted 13 hours and 20 minutes, compared with 10 hours and 6 minutes for Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8. That's more than three additional hours for Apple. Another independent test produced encouraging results for the Duo. While streaming video over Wi-Fi with the larger screens at maximum brightness, Apple's foldable reportedly lasted 18 hours and 15 minutes, compared with 16 hours and 30 minutes for Samsung. Although the tests used different methods, both suggest Apple has managed to squeeze impressive battery life out of its first folding phone. Apple officially claims up to 31 hours of video playback using the inner display. However, that figure comes from controlled laboratory testing, so everyday results will vary depending on how you use the phone. Charging is another consideration. Apple says the Duo can reach 50% in about 20 minutes with a compatible wired charger. Samsung supports 45W wired charging and fast wireless charging. For anyone who spends long days traveling or regularly finds their battery running low before dinner, Apple's early results are encouraging. THE IPHONE DUO IS OFFICIALLY HERE — GET IT FOR NO MONEY DOWN AT T-MOBILE For nearly $2,000, you'd expect a phone with an incredible camera. And while both of these foldables take excellent photos, there's a catch. Apple's iPhone Duo has two 48MP rear cameras, while Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 has two 50MP cameras. Neither has a dedicated telephoto lens, which means you're giving up some of the zoom capabilities found on other premium phones. Think about trying to get a close-up shot of your child playing soccer or capturing something interesting in the distance while on vacation. Apple's Duo offers 2x optical-quality zoom by cropping into its main sensor. Samsung uses a similar approach, with digital zoom for subjects farther away. Both can handle everyday photos, but if you love getting those close-up shots, an iPhone 18 Pro Max or Galaxy S26 Ultra may be a better choice. Here's where Samsung throws another option into the mix. Its Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra starts at $2,099.99, just $100 more than Apple's Duo at their regular starting prices. For that extra money, you get a 200MP main camera and a dedicated telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. That's worth considering if you want a folding phone but aren't willing to give up a more versatile camera. And with Samsung already offering discounts on some models, you may not even have to spend more. Ever try taking a group photo and realize you're the one missing from it? Apple's Smart Take could help with that. Just prop open the iPhone Duo, get into the picture and let its AI recognize when everyone is posing. The phone automatically snaps the photo, so there's no racing against a timer or asking someone else to take the shot. Then there's Duo Preview, which lets the person you're photographing see themselves on the outside screen. That could save you from hearing, "Wait, let me see that one," after every picture. Apple also came up with Kid Cue, which plays Peanuts animations on the outer display to get children to look toward the camera. If you've ever tried getting a toddler to cooperate for a family photo, you can probably appreciate that one. Samsung has a few tricks of its own. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 can show people a preview on its outer screen, and you can prop it partially open for hands-free photos. That comes in handy when you want to be in the picture instead of always being the one taking it. Now let's talk about something that deserves far more attention than it usually receives. Repairs. Apple rates the iPhone Duo IP68 for dust and water resistance, while Samsung gives the Galaxy Z Fold 8 an IP48 rating. That gives Apple stronger protection against dust under standardized laboratory testing. However, neither rating guarantees that a folding screen or hinge will survive years of rough treatment. These phones also contain more moving parts than conventional smartphones. And if something goes wrong, the repair costs can be substantial. There's another reason to think carefully about durability. As we reported in our article, Apple confirms iPhone Duo screen problems after launch, some owners experienced cracks along the inner screen near the hinge within hours or days of purchase, sometimes during initial setup. Apple acknowledged an issue affecting a small number of devices and directed affected customers to contact AppleCare for replacements. The company hasn't identified the cause or disclosed how many phones are affected. An AppleCare+ subscription isn't required to request a replacement for this acknowledged issue. Still, it's something I'd consider before spending nearly $2,000 on a first-generation folding iPhone. According to Apple's published repair estimates, replacing the iPhone Duo's damaged inner display costs $999 without AppleCare+. That's roughly half the cost of the entry-level phone. Apple also lists an estimated $1,499 charge for certain other damage repairs. There is some relief for minor screen damage. Apple's replaceable inner display cover layer costs $49 to replace without AppleCare+, provided the damage is limited to that layer. AppleCare+ can significantly reduce eligible repair charges. For example, an inner display repair is listed at $99 under the coverage, subject to the plan's terms. Of course, the coverage itself adds to the cost of ownership. Samsung's folding phones also have specialized displays and hinges that can be expensive to repair. However, repair pricing varies by model, damage and coverage. This is one area where I'd encourage anyone considering either phone to look beyond the advertised purchase price. After all, a $2,000 phone is expensive enough without worrying about what happens if it slips out of your hand and you're suddenly facing a repair bill approaching $1,000. Apple has made the iPhone Duo eSIM-only worldwide. That means you won't find a physical SIM card slot. Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 supports both eSIM and a physical nano-SIM card, although configurations may vary by market. For most people in the United States, this probably won't be an obstacle. Major carriers support eSIM, and many international providers offer digital plans. However, if you travel frequently and prefer buying physical SIM cards at your destination, Samsung gives you more flexibility. It's worth checking whether your preferred mobile provider supports eSIM before buying the Duo. If you've been waiting years for a folding iPhone, Apple's Duo is an appealing first attempt. It offers excellent early battery performance, an impressive display and the convenience of staying within Apple's ecosystem. However, I wouldn't overlook Samsung. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is significantly lighter, costs a little less and offers more flexible multitasking. Those advantages could become increasingly important once the excitement of owning a new folding phone wears off. And here's something else to consider. If most of your day involves texting or checking email, you may spend far more time using the smaller outer screen than you expect. The larger display becomes especially useful when you frequently review documents or watch videos while traveling. Before buying either phone, think about how much time you would realistically spend with it unfolded.

It can help make the move considerably easier. HERE'S SOME TIPS ON HOW TO ORGANIZE PHOTOS WITH KEYWORDS ON YOUR PHONE I have to give Samsung credit. Seven years ago, folding phones seemed like an expensive experiment, and I wasn't convinced they'd ever catch on. But Samsung stuck with the idea, and now Apple has finally joined the party. I like what Apple's done with the iPhone Duo, especially the display and those impressive early battery results. Still, I keep coming back to the price. Nearly $2,000 for a phone that's heavier than Samsung's and doesn't have a dedicated telephoto camera? That's a tough sell. And the possibility of a $999 inner screen repair would certainly make me nervous. I also wouldn't count Samsung out just because Apple has entered the race. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is noticeably lighter, and Samsung has spent years figuring out how to make that larger screen useful. Being able to run more apps at once is a nice advantage, especially if you're someone who likes getting work done on your phone. And let's face it, a lighter phone is something you'll appreciate long after the excitement of showing everyone how it folds has worn off. If I were spending this kind of money, I'd want to see how Apple's first folding iPhone holds up after a few months of everyday use. I'd also want to hold both phones before deciding. But here's what I keep wondering. How often would I really open that larger screen? If I ended up using the smaller outside display most of the day, I'd have a hard time convincing myself that spending $2,000 was worth it.

It happened just three years after he was let into the country during the Biden administration. The Baltimore Police Department says Abubakarr Barrie, 23, is accused of stabbing a 15-year-old girl inside a home. Multiple reports say he worked as an unlicensed cab driver. The Department of Homeland Security says Barrie picked the victim up and took her "to a basement property that he was renting at the time."

After casting a ballot for Rogers, voter Marjorie Mehney said she was a Democrat "years ago" and would be "embarrassed to be one today" with candidates like El-Sayed representing the party. However, she pointed out that El-Sayed has won over many voters in her hometown of Petoskey, located in Emmet County, where President Donald Trump took more than 55% of the vote in 2024. "The majority are Republican. However, there's a great deal of signage for Abdul. So it's very mixed. We've never seen anything like the support that's going on with signs in front yards," Mehney told Fox News in downtown Rochester. ROGERS WARNS MICHIGAN VOTERS AGAINST EL-SAYED’S ‘EXTREME’ AGENDA AHEAD OF ELECTION When asked if she knew why there had been a shift toward El-Sayed, she said she had "no idea" and called the momentum he is experiencing in her community "a bit shocking." "They are people I've known and never knew that they felt this way that Abdul does," she said. "It's a little concerning." Mehney predicted that El-Sayed will prevail over Rogers on Tuesday, but warned that Michigan voters will come to regret sending him to the Senate. I'M DR ABDUL EL-SAYED. THIS IS WHY I WANT MICHIGAN'S VOTE FOR SENATE Another voter, Tom Wright, told Fox News that he voted for El-Sayed despite disagreeing with him on "60% to 70% of his policy positions." "I cannot bring myself to vote for a Trump minion under any circumstances," Wright said, referring to Rogers. Rogers left Congress before Trump launched his first presidential campaign, representing Michigan's 8th District from 2001 to 2015, meaning he has no congressional voting record on Trump's legislative agenda across either of his two terms. Rogers has made his position clear on a series of Trump policies. For instance, he backed the Iran war in its early stages and has supported giving presidents broad authority to impose reciprocal tariffs, as Trump did. TRUMP DOMINATES EL-SAYED'S ATTACKS AGAINST ROGERS, BUT GOP RIVAL OFFERS UNEXPECTED POLICY SPLIT However, as the Senate campaign entered its final stretch, Rogers has distanced himself with Trump on both issues. In late September, he released an ad calling for a quick end to the Iran war, and in early October, another ad of his demanded an end to the "tariff war" with Canada. Wright, who described himself as "a lifelong Republican," said Rogers' shifts on those issues were not enough to win his support. Wright argued that the GOP is "too far toward Trump" and that "Mike Rogers won't stop it." "The litmus test is, are people willing to hold their nose and vote for Abdul because they are so appalled by Trump? Not that they like Abdul or are a progressive," Wright said. EL-SAYED, ROGERS CLASH OVER MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, TRUMP AND GUNS: 5 FIERY DEBATE MOMENTS When asked about his reservations about El-Sayed, Wright said he doesn't like his stance on Israel and Palestine. "I don't think he has sufficiently disavowed elements that I consider divisive. A man is judged by the company he keeps and he keeps some pretty bad company," Wright said. "Nonetheless, he is one senator out of 100. I don't care what he says he's going to do. He can't do a damn thing. And if some sanity returns the Republican Party in six years, I can vote for the opposition." A third Michigan voter, Gerald, said he was planning to split his ticket, telling Fox News he would vote for Rogers for Senate and Democrat Jocelyn Benson for governor. Gerald wasn't comfortable voting for El-Sayed because he heard he is a "communist." As in past midterm elections, Michigan could play a pivotal role in determining control of Congress. Polls are open across the state Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., with voters still able to cast a ballot as long as they are in line by the time polls close.

The suspect's initial court appearance is expected Tuesday afternoon. The letters were sent to more than 100 locations, including multiple secretary of state and election offices, the source said. The FBI's Oklahoma City field office, FBI Criminal Division, U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), U.S. Capitol Police and the Oklahoma City Police Department (OKCPD) led the investigation. FBI PROBES SUSPICIOUS WHITE POWDER LETTERS SENT TO SCHUMER, DEM SENATORS AS THREAT SPREADS NATIONWIDE The arrest comes as federal authorities investigate suspicious letters mailed to congressional and election offices ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The FBI said it was working with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service to investigate "a series of suspicious mailings sent to various addresses nationwide, including Secretary of State offices and their related election offices," The Associated Press reported last month. Authorities had warned recipients to treat the mailings as "potentially hazardous" as authorities worked to intercept additional letters before they reached their destinations, according to the outlet. The FBI said in an Oct. 23 advisory that no hazardous material had been identified in the suspicious substances tested at that point, though laboratory testing remained ongoing. Several Senate offices reported receiving or being sent suspicious mail.  JUDGE TOSSES CASE AGAINST EX-FBI OFFICIALS ACCUSED OF LYING TO CONGRESS ABOUT HUNTER BIDEN INVESTIGATION A letter addressed to Sen.

For individuals living with language and communication disorders, social isolation remains one of the most significant challenges following a stroke or traumatic brain injury. To address these barriers, local nonprofit Friends of Aphasia is partnering with regional organizations like Southern Arizona Adaptive Sports to provide community-based recreation and rehabilitation. Although high winds recently forced the postponement of their latest adaptive cycling session, Friends of Aphasia and SAAS continue to build on a series of joint initiatives designed to keep members active and engaged. Founded by former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords, who developed aphasia after surviving an assassination attempt in 2011, Friends of Aphasia works to bridge the gap in long-term rehabilitation. Aphasia is a language disorder caused by brain damage that impairs an individual’s ability to speak, read, write or comprehend spoken language, while leaving intellect intact. Strokes account for 40% of aphasia cases across Pima County, according to Friends of Aphasia executive director Kymberli Olsen. While traditional post-stroke medical therapies frequently taper off after six months, the nonprofit provides continuous support structures to promote ongoing neurological recovery. Help us build local news that brings people together, not apart. Friends of Aphasia members, Southern Arizona Adaptive Sports staff and volunteers gather next to a sign for the Eduardo Aguirre Adaptive Cycling Center, where the groups’ cycling program is based. Courtesy of Friends of Aphasia. The adaptive cycling program operates out of SAAS’s Eduardo Aguirre Adaptive Cycling Center at the Kino Sports Complex, where SAAS maintains a fleet of specialized equipment, including recumbent trikes, handcycles and tandem configurations, tailored for individuals with physical mobility limitations or hemiparesis. “Adaptive cycling is about approaching recreation in a way that improves inclusion and access for all people,” said SAAS executive director Mia Hansen. “For someone experiencing balance issues due to a stroke, a three-wheeled recumbent trike lowers the center of gravity and eliminates the need to balance.” SAAS staff and volunteers fit riders with custom hook-and-loop support straps, weighted pedals and modified gear shifters so participants with paralysis on one side or reduced grip strength can operate the equipment safely. Riders first test their bikes on a secure 2-mile loop around Sam Lena Park before moving to the Chuck Huckelberry Loop. Clinicians say combining physical activity with outdoor navigation can support speech recovery through neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to rebuild neural pathways. “Physical movement, visual processing and social interaction happen simultaneously during adaptive sports,” said Clare McNamara, speech-language pathologist and clinical director at Friends of Aphasia. “Combining these skills stimulates brain plasticity. As those neural pathways rebuild, it directly supports the work we do on language and communication recovery.” A whiteboard at a Friends of Aphasia session lists what helps people with aphasia express themselves, including speaking slowly, taking their time, using pictures and gestures, and finding a quiet space. Courtesy of Friends of Aphasia. Beyond the neurological benefits, the outings also target the emotional toll of brain injuries. “Our vision is that aphasia does not limit your quality of life,” Olsen said. “Exercise boosts dopamine, and participating within a supportive community helps members regain their independence.” According to McNamara, the environment gives participants the confidence needed to transition from tandem bikes to solo trikes, helping individuals rebuild self-reliance after life-altering health events. In addition to adaptive cycling, Friends of Aphasia offers biweekly support groups, music therapy, local art presentations and community outings, including adaptive bowling at Lucky Strike Bowl, birdwatching with Birdability at Fort Lowell Park and wilderness excursions through Luke 5 Adventures at Sabino Canyon. Looking ahead to 2027, Friends of Aphasia plans to expand its clinical outreach by hiring a bilingual speech-language pathologist to serve Spanish-speaking families in Tucson. Concurrently, SAAS is expanding its regional footprint through a new adaptive mountain biking initiative and the “Parks for All” accessibility project in partnership with Saguaro National Park. Friends of Aphasia holds regular sessions featuring communication strategy groups, music programs and community presentations.

"Mr. El-Sayed, how can you look my daughter in the eyes and call this a manufactured issue? She is living this fight," Sean Lechner, father of Monroe High School volleyball player Briley Lechner, said in a statement. "Our entire family has lived it for a year, and it’s a living hell!! it is far from over." MICHIGAN TEEN VOLLEYBALL PLAYER FILES LAWSUIT AFTER SHE UNKNOWINGLY SHARED LOCKER ROOM WITH TRANS ATHLETE Lechner’s response followed an exchange in El-Sayed’s extended interview with Ross Douthat. Douthat asked about parental control over education, including transgender students’ participation on sports teams, and how to resolve situations in which rights conflict. "I don't know that that's actually true," El-Sayed responded. "I think we manufacture these social issues..." El-Sayed argued that smartphones make it unrealistic for parents to prevent children from encountering information they find objectionable. He later said eligibility decisions should belong to sports governing bodies. "I'm not running to govern sports," he said. For the Lechners, the issue has led to federal litigation. Briley and her father filed suit Oct. 9 against Monroe Public Schools, the Michigan High School Athletic Association and district officials. Their attorneys at the Thomas More Law Center allege officials knew before a Sept. 9, 2025, match that Ann Arbor Skyline’s girls’ volleyball team included a transgender athlete, but did not tell Monroe players or parents. The suit also alleges the opposing player was permitted to use the girls’ locker-room facilities without Monroe athletes being informed. MICHIGAN FATHER ALLEGES BOMB THREAT TO HOME AFTER DAUGHTER SPOKE UP ABOUT FACING TRANS ATHLETE WITHOUT KNOWING The district deemed the family’s Title IX allegations unsubstantiated. The lawsuit challenges that determination and the handling of their appeal. "I find your statement disgusting. You undermine female athletes and disrespect families who deserve answers," Lechner said of El-Sayed’s remarks. "My daughter’s privacy, dignity and right to fair competition deserve more than your manufactured, political talking points." El-Sayed faces Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan’s Senate election Tuesday. In the interview, El-Sayed argued that culture-war disputes distract from economic concerns, including groceries, gas and access to medical care. Lechner urged voters to put their children ahead of party loyalty. "My faith and my family come first. I pray every Michigander votes for the person, not the party, and demands leaders with the courage to protect our children," he said. "Our daughters should never pay the price for a politician’s cowardice—and I’ll make damn sure my voice, my vote and my fight for my daughter are impossible to ignore!!!" OutKick has reached out to El-Sayed's campaign for a response.

The two-time major champion is teeing it up in this week's Abu Dhabi Aldar Championship, the penultimate event on the DP World Tour calendar. While it marks his first start since officially leaving LIV Golf, the talk in the media center wasn't about the golf to be played this week, per se, but instead about both his past and future. With LIV Golf losing its Saudi funding and later filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September, the future of the circuit still remains entirely unknown. As Rahm alluded to, those uncertainties involving "LIV 2.0" were too overwhelming to ignore. RORY MCILROY CALLS LIV GOLF 'HALF A GOOD IDEA' BEFORE SAYING HE'D VOTE YES ON HAVING PLAYERS RETURN TO TOUR "Too many unknowns at the time and there are still quite a few," Rahm said in Abu Dhabi. "It seemed like it was going away from team golf and some of the things that made LIV, LIV. It just became more of a regular tour. It wasn't really ever much of a consideration, to be honest." Rahm's claim that the potential removal of the team golf aspect – and that LIV turning into a "regular tour" – impacted his decision to leave feels wildly disingenuous. On the flip side, bashing the circuit that paid you hundreds of millions of dollars and happens to be in bankruptcy proceedings would be a bit harsh. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Rahm, like the majority of his counterparts who have left LIV Golf, plans to play on the DP World Tour in 2027 and in all four major championships. It's no secret that the Spaniard would like to return to the PGA Tour sooner rather than later. At this moment in time, the Tour is not offering an immediate, penalty-free pathway back for players to return, but that doesn't mean Rahm doesn't have an idea in mind. At the start of 2026, Brooks Koepka left LIV Golf and returned to the Tour under a then-offered Returning Member Program. The five-time major winner had to agree to forfeit any player equity shares for the next five years, was not eligible for the $100 million FedEx Cup bonus program in 2026, and agreed to make a $5 million donation to charity. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Rahm, who earned more than $100 million on the course alone in four years with LIV, wouldn't mind being offered a similar deal. "Most likely, yeah. Why not? Yeah, but it's a big if," Rahm said, when asked if he would accept a Koepka-like deal. "I seriously doubt I get offered the same deal that Brooks did. But yeah, if I got offered exactly the same penalties as him, I probably would do it." Rahm was eligible to return via the previously offered Returning Members Program that Koepka jumped on. The Tour offering the exact same pathway back a second time for Rahm is hard to imagine. Rahm could be left with only one option for a return to the PGA Tour, which would include a one-year suspension before becoming eligible again. Former Masters champion Patrick Reed took the one-year suspension route earlier this year. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aea09b8726b22deeb6a6b0a MICHAEL RUIZ: Mangione’s new argument to escape NY murder case: Same gun, same killing, same prosecution te 2026-11-03T16:20:08.520Z MICHAEL RUIZ: Mangione’s new argument to escape NY murder case: Same gun, same killing, same prosecution Luigi Mangione's lawyers are doubling down on their double jeopardy defense in their fight to have the admitted assassin spared from New York murder charges after admitting to what they say was essentially the same crime in federal court. Murder is the same evil as stalking with intent to kill — and then killing, they argued. The claims came in response to Manhattan prosecutors who have asked a New York judge to reject his bid to drop his state-level charges following a federal guilty plea in which he admitted to assassinating UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a 50-year-old father of two who Mangione shot in the back outside a Hilton hotel in the middle of the Big Apple. BRAVE WIDOW OF SLAIN UNITEDHEALTHCARE CEO BRIAN THOMPSON COMES FACE TO FACE WITH LUIGI MANGIONE FOR FIRST TIME Prosecutors have said that since Mangione was not prosecuted for federal firearms offenses, there is no double jeopardy if the state level ones remain on the table. They argued that the murder charges should still go forward because although Mangione admitted to killing Thompson, that's not the same "harm or evil" involved in the federal stalking charges. And they argued that even though Mangione withdrew a potential "extreme emotional disturbance" defense specific to Empire State law, that doesn't mean the federal case prevented him from using it. Mangione's lawyers, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, Marc Agnifilo and Jacob Kaplan, attacked all three arguments in a reply made public over the weekend. LUIGI MANGIONE PLEA BUZZ RAISES POTENTIAL PAUL MANAFORT PROBLEM FOR PROSECUTORS READ the defense reply: First, they argued that although the federal firearms charges were dismissed, he was still "prosecuted" for them, putting him at risk of double jeopardy. "The statutory definition of being 'prosecuted' for an offense does not require that the defendant plead guilty to that specific offense," Mangione's lawyers wrote. LUIGI MANGIONE HEARING SET FOR FRIDAY STIRS PLEA DEAL SPECULATION IN HIS FEDERAL CASE Their client pleaded guilty to two federal charges, although he'd initially faced more. FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X "In other words, when Mangione pleaded guilty to the federal indictment, the criminal action in which he had been charged with possession and use of the firearm was terminated for statutory double jeopardy purposes," they wrote. SIGN UP TO GET THE LATEST TRUE CRIME NEWS They also argued that stalking Thompson with intent to kill him is the same "core misconduct" as murdering him. In order to get around New York's double jeopardy law, which is more restrictive than the U.S. Constitution, prosecutors need to show that the state charges are meant to prevent different "harms or evils" than the federal ones he already pleaded guilty to. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FROM THE FOX TRUE CRIME HUB "One of the harms clearly addressed by the expansive federal stalking statute is stalking with the intent to kill and resulting in the killing of the person stalked," Mangione's lawyers wrote. "It is a statute that, like a state murder statute, is intended to keep people safe from being murdered — the oldest crime there is." LUIGI MANGIONE'S TEAM FIRES BACK AT PLEA DEAL REPORT, CALLS LEAKS THREAT TO FAIR TRIAL They argued that while the federal stalking charge includes other elements, including interstate travel and the use of electronic communications, they are "not related" to the core evil of the crime, which is killing someone. GOT A TIP? MANHATTAN DA'S OFFICE SAYS LUIGI MANGIONE DEFENSE SPREAD FALSE CLAIMS ABOUT MURDER TRIAL MEDIA PLAN "Travel and electronics are not the evils or harms being prevented," they wrote. "The federal government does have an interest, however, in preventing people from [traveling] or using electronics as part of the crime of killing another person, or intending to do so. That is what makes the stalking statute similar to the murder statute in terms of the evils or harms both are looking to prevent."

Talarico, who Trump has frequently mocked and criticized in the months leading up to the Texas state representative's crucial midterm contest against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, explained that he'd love to work with Trump on issues like healthcare and housing. "If the president wants to work with me or with any Democrat to expand healthcare access, I'm there. If he wants to make sure that every single kid in this country gets high-quality, accessible childcare, I'm there. If he wants to tackle the housing problem — Donald Trump is a builder — if he wants us to slash the red tape in this country so we could build millions of new homes and ensure everyone in this country has a place to call home, that I'm there. I'll work with him to do it. I would love to do that," Talarico said. BATTLEGROUND DEM TOUTS BIPARTISAN RECORD, BUT CAN’T NAME SINGLE ISSUE SHE’D WORK WITH TRUMP ON Talarico also indicated that a successful midterm election for Democrats could be a "rebirth" for Trump's presidency. "If the people of Texas, if the people of this country elect leaders who are going to check the president, I think it could be a rebirth for his presidency," Talarico said. SENATE CONTROL IS A COIN FLIP — AND DEMOCRATS’ PATH RUNS THROUGH TRUMP COUNTRY Talarico added that he hoped a Democratic victory Tuesday could be a "wake-up call" for Trump and his administration, claiming that he felt the administration should "reverse course" if faced with a Democratic supermajority in Congress. Talarico's willingness to reach across the aisle comes despite months of Trump badmouthing him on social media and the president campaigning in person for Paxton. Trump has taken to frequently referring to Talarico as "TalaFREAKo" in posts on Truth Social, calling him "unelectable" in Texas and disparagingly referring to him as a vegan, a charge which Talarico denies. Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt cast doubt on the authenticity of Talarico's intentions during a Tuesday morning appearance on "FOX & Friends." "I don't buy it for one second," Leavitt said. "This is exactly what the Democrats do in every election cycle. They are incredibly disingenuous. In fact, it's the one thing they are good at. They talk like the radical leftist that they are until they win their Democrat nomination. And then they try to fool voters by appearing moderate so that they can win their votes. But when they are elected, God forbid, if Talarico is elected, and we pray that he isn't after polls closed tonight, he will govern as a far left extreme liberal that he truly is," she continued. "Just listen to his own words. Some of the things he said in the past, he said he's a Christian who hates Christianity. He said God is non-binary. He said he believes there are six genders. He said that the United States southern border in the great state of Texas should be like a front porch where everybody is welcomed, while James Talarico, we have that for four years under the Biden administration, and it resulted in the worst border crisis in American history. He wants to abolish ICE. He wants to open our prisons. This is not somebody who is going to work with President Trump to secure our border and continue deporting illegal aliens," Leavitt added. "This is somebody who would join the ranks of the extremely liberal Democrat Party to engage in lawfare and obstructionism of all of the common sense policies that the Trump administration is continuing to pursue. And that's exactly why the great people of Texas need to get out and vote," Leavitt concluded. The Talarico campaign and the White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for further comment.

Robinson wrote that Ouellette believed combining them could reduce customer turnover and double revenue, while he favored keeping the products separate. "My question: WHY DO I NEED TO DO EITHER OF THOSE THINGS?" Robinson wrote. "Honestly, I'd be thrilled if RB2B never grew another dollar," he added.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6aea0503726b22deeb6a6860 Soto y King compiten por un escaño en el Senado estatal por el Distrito Legislativo 17 en Tucson te 2026-11-03T16:00:03.124Z Soto y King compiten por un escaño en el Senado estatal por el Distrito Legislativo 17 en Tucson Leer en inglés Dos veteranos militares, el demócrata Edgar Soto y el republicano Christopher King, compiten este 3 de noviembre para reemplazar al senador republicano Vince Leach quien se retira en el Distrito Legislativo 17. El distrito abarca una gran parte del área de Tucson, incluyendo sectores de Oro Valley, Catalina Foothills, Catalina y Rincon Valley. Los senadores cumplen mandatos de dos años y pueden ejercer hasta cuatro periodos, lo que suma un total de ocho años. Los republicanos han ocupado este escaño durante los últimos 13 años, desde que finalizó el mandato del demócrata David Schapira en enero de 2013. Soto, oriundo de Tucson, es egresado de Tucson High School y veterano del Cuerpo de Marines; cuenta con experiencia en el ámbito de la educación superior y trabaja para Pima Community College. Soto busca ganar este escaño para su partido, centrando su campaña en tres prioridades principales, según su sitio web: reducir el costo de vida, fortalecer la educación pública y apoyar las iniciativas de seguridad pública. El Foco de Tucson consultó a ambos candidatos sobre sus posturas respecto a la regulación de las aguas subterráneas, la vivienda asequible y el financiamiento de las escuelas públicas. Manténgase informado sin saturarse de información. Edgar Soto, el candidato demócrata al escaño del Senado estatal por el Distrito Legislativo 17, conversa con los votantes durante un encuentro con candidatos celebrados en junio. Diana Ramos / El Foco de Tucson. La educación es una de las principales preocupaciones de los electorales en estas elecciones; algunos distritos escolares del Distrito Legislativo 17 enfrentan problemas que afectan a los estudiantes y a sus comunidades. El Distrito Escolar Unificado de Tucson está atravesando un proceso de consolidación debido a la disminución de la matrícula estudiantil y a otros factores. Arizona ocupa un lugar bajo a nivel nacional en cuanto al gasto por alumno. Soto señaló que su experiencia en el ámbito educativo le ha permitido observar, de primera mano, los beneficios de invertir en las escuelas. “Mi máxima prioridad es garantizar que todos los estudiantes tengan acceso a una educación pública de alta calidad, independientemente de su código postal,” afirmó Soto. “Arizona debe realizar una mayor inversión en nuestras aulas, mejorando la contratación y retención de docentes, reduciendo el tamaño de las clases siempre que sea posible y asegurando que las escuelas cuenten con los recursos necesarios para ayudar a los estudiantes a alcanzar el éxito.” La vivienda es otro tema que preocupa a los votantes. Más del 33% de los hogares en Tucson enfrentan una carga excesiva por costos de vivienda, lo que significa que destinan más del 30% de sus ingresos a este rubro, según un estudio de 2024 de Making Action Possible, una plataforma de estadísticas de la Universidad de Arizona. “La asequibilidad de la vivienda comienza por aumentar la oferta y fortalecer los ingresos de los hogares. Priorizaría una legislación que fomente la construcción de viviendas y adecuadas para la fuerza laboral, agilice los procesos de obtención de permisos y amplíe las inversiones en infraestructura que respalden un desarrollo responsable,” indicó Soto. “Arizona debería ser un lugar donde las personas puedan permitirse una vivienda, formar una familia y construir un futuro; no un lugar donde los costos elevados les impiden acceder a esas oportunidades.” El agua ha sido una preocupación central en estas elecciones, especialmente porque gran parte de las aguas subterráneas de Arizona permanecen sin regulación fuera de las llamadas Áreas de Gestión Activa. Christopher King, candidato al escaño del Senado estatal por el Distrito Legislativo 17, durante un foro de candidatos organizado por la Cámara de Comercio de Greater Vail. Cortesía de Chris King for AZ. Soto afirmó que el agua no es una cuestión política, sino un asunto de supervivencia. “Si no tenemos agua, nada más importa. El futuro de Arizona depende de proteger nuestras aguas subterráneas y, al mismo tiempo, fomentar el crecimiento económico,” señaló Soto. “Apoyaría una legislación que exija a los nuevos grandes proyectos urbanísticos, situados fuera de las Áreas de Gestión Activa, demostrar que cuentan con un suministro de agua sostenible antes de iniciar la construcción. También respaldo la ampliación de las herramientas locales de planificación de aguas subterráneas, la mejora de la transparencia mediante un seguimiento y una presentación de informes más rigurosos, y la concesión de mayor autoridad a las comunidades rurales para proteger sus recursos hídricos.” King, candidato republicano y veterano de la Fuerza Aérea, forma parte de la junta directiva del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Vail desde 2021. Su mandato actual concluye el 1 de enero de 2029. King no respondió a las solicitudes de comentarios de El Foco de Tucson, pero sí completó una encuesta de AZ Voter Guide en la que se consultaba a los candidatos sobre diversos temas. Al preguntársele sobre el mantenimiento del programa universal de Cuentas de Becas de Empoderamiento sin restringir los criterios de elegibilidad, manifestó su apoyo a conservar el programa tal como está, sin limitar quién puede acceder a él. El programa, que se abrió a todos los estudiantes de educación básica y media (K-12) en 2022, cuenta ya con más de 100,000 beneficiarios. Según el Departamento de Educación de Arizona y el Common Sense Institute, se prevé que el costo del programa se acerque a los $1,000 millones durante el presente año fiscal. King también figuró entre los demandantes en un litigio de 2020 que pretendía anular los resultados de las elecciones presidenciales en Arizona. El 9 de diciembre de 2020, un juez federal desestimó el caso al determinar que los demandantes carecían de legitimación procesal. Según los documentos judiciales, en aquel momento King ocupaba el cargo de vicepresidente del Partido Republicano del Condado de Pima. 💡 Las elecciones generales se celebrarán el 3 de noviembre. Los votantes del condado de Pima pueden registrarse, verificar su registro o solicitar una boleta electoral por correo a través del sitio web recorder.pima.gov.  Nya Belcastro es estudiante de la Universidad de Arizona y pasante en El Foco de Tucson.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae9fe0c726b22deeb6a66de Alaska voter 'disgusted' by reported 'decoy Dan' plot switches from Peltola to Sullivan te 2026-11-03T15:30:20.497Z Alaska voter 'disgusted' by reported 'decoy Dan' plot switches from Peltola to Sullivan As the Senate race in Alaska makes headlines over an alleged Democrat-linked election scheme, Fox News spoke with voters heading to the polls to see whether their decisions were changed, including one man who said he is voting for incumbent Republican Sen. Dan S. Sullivan, despite having previously considered voting for the Democratic Senate candidate, former Rep. Mary Peltola. The Senate race, which is a ranked-choice voting contest, has been the subject of significant national attention due to the inclusion of a candidate with nearly the same name as the incumbent GOP lawmaker. The male voter, who did not provide his name, explained that he "thought it was sketchy from the get-go." A New York Times report published last week detailed the alleged scam that involved Democrats seeking to recruit Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. to run in the race against the incumbent Sen. Daniel S. Sullivan. "When The New York Times article came out, and I found out how that transpired, I was disgusted by the whole thing, so sleazy," the voter noted. ELECTION DAY 2026: VOTERS CAST BALLOTS WITH CONTROL OF CONGRESS ON THE LINE A woman who was with the man in Alaska noted that he had "thought about voting for Mary Peltola." "I switched," he said. The woman said she believes it is "unethical, and I don't think [Peltola] should be elected." The man agreed. They both confirmed they would be voting for Sen. Dan S. Sullivan. DOJ FACES 'HEAVY LIFT' IN ALASKA ELECTION APPEAL AS SEPARATE CRIMINAL PROBE CONTINUES The Peltola campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's comment request on Tuesday. In a rally speech last week, Peltola denied being involved in the alleged scheme. "I knew nothing about any other candidates on the ballot except for me and the incumbent. That is all I have ever known about," Peltola said. "I am not interested in tricking voters. I know I can beat Dan Sullivan." Sen. Sullivan said during a speech on Monday, "We all knew that the decoy Dan guy was fake, but the extent of the corruption, the extent of the cheating." DEMS' DIRE WARNINGS ABOUT THREATS TO DEMOCRACY FACE AN UNCOMFORTABLE RECKONING AFTER ALASKA ELECTION REPORT President Donald Trump is backing the senator in the race. "Senator Dan S. Sullivan, the Best Senator in the History of Alaska, and one of the Best in the Country, should be running his Senatorial Race in Alaska, 'UNDER PROTEST,' for the FRAUD that has been committed against him in putting another Dan Sullivan on the Ballot. Dan Sullivan against Dan Sullivan — How ridiculous is that? Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump posted to Truth Social on Monday night.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae9fbae726b22deeb6a6606 11 kitchen tools for building better sandwiches, plus tips from a pro te 2026-11-03T15:20:14.618Z 11 kitchen tools for building better sandwiches, plus tips from a pro Today is National Sandwich Day, making it a good excuse to upgrade your desk lunch. We asked Gilli Rozynek, owner of New York City's Brown Bag Sandwich Co., to share tips for building better sandwiches at home, along with the kitchen tools she uses to chop, toast, slice and store them. "One of the biggest mistakes people make is stacking a bunch of delicious ingredients together without thinking about how they’ll actually eat them," Rozynek says. "You might get the meat in one bite, the lettuce in the next and the sauce at the end. That’s why we love chopping our sandwich ingredients." This technique helps distribute each ingredient and condiment throughout the sandwich. Rozynek believes the best sandwiches combine richness, acidity, texture and freshness. "If you have something rich like cheese, mayo or fatty meat, you probably want something acidic to cut through it, like a pickle, cherry peppers, mustard or a vinaigrette," she says. Bread is a key component of any sandwich, so it’s important to choose the right loaf. "Look for something that can stand up to the fillings without being so tough that everything gets pushed out when you take a bite," Rozynek says. Shop expert-recommended essentials to elevate your next sandwich. Original price: $50 A good serrated knife can make it easier to slice delicate tomato skin, bread and sandwich fillings without crushing them. Original price: $16 A pizza cutter is one of Rozynek’s favorite tools at Brown Bag Sandwich Co. "We use it to chop ingredients together inside a bowl," she says. "The rounded blade works with the shape of the bowl, making it easy to mix and chop ingredients without needing a large cutting surface." Ask a chef for their favorite mayonnaise and you’ll get several answers, but Kewpie comes up often for its rich flavor and texture. Its high egg yolk content, along with MSG, gives it a distinctive taste. Spread condiments such as mayo, mustard and pesto with this wide, rounded blade from Zyliss. The 4-inch knife has a rubber handle and can also help you spread sticky toppings like peanut butter or goat cheese. Its sharp blade can halve a sandwich or trim the crusts. Original price: $50 According to Rozynek, sandwich bread shouldn’t be an afterthought. "A little toasting can make a big difference, especially for hot sandwiches," she says. This two-slice toaster lets you choose a preferred toast shade and bread type. Its touchscreen design also adds a modern touch to the countertop. Original price: $50 If you like the original Hamilton Beach breakfast sandwich maker, this newer model offers a larger cooking surface for standard sandwich bread. It can prepare hot sandwiches with or without eggs in about five minutes. A cast-iron skillet can help create a crisp grilled cheese and handle recipes beyond sandwiches. With proper care, cast iron can last for decades. Use it for fried eggs, seared steak or cornbread, too. Make crustless sandwiches with this cutter and sealer. Add peanut butter, jelly and your preferred bread, then place the sandwich between the cutters and crimp it closed. You can freeze the sandwiches for a quick snack later. As a culinary school graduate who has used a version of this serrated knife for 20 years, I’ve found that it cuts through loaves of bread with minimal effort. Rozynek agrees: "You want to slice through a crusty hero or roll without crushing the bread. It’s especially helpful when cutting a fully assembled sandwich in half." At $16, it’s an affordable addition to any knife block. These containers help prevent homemade sandwiches from getting smushed in your lunch bag. Each one has a secure locking lid and is safe for the top rack of the dishwasher. For more deals, visit www.foxnews.com/deals Fresh bread can make a sandwich feel more special, but baking a loaf from scratch may seem intimidating. This Hamilton Beach bread machine handles the kneading and baking for you. Add the ingredients, select a cycle and choose your preferred loaf size and crust setting. The machine then prepares a warm loaf for sandwiches and toast.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae9f703726b22deeb6a654f Randy Bennett opens new chapter with win in ASU coaching debut te 2026-11-03T15:00:19.455Z Randy Bennett opens new chapter with win in ASU coaching debut TEMPE – The lights went out, flames shot into the air and Sun Devils fans turned up the heat with a warm welcome for Randy Bennett as he took the court for his regular-season coaching debut with Arizona State. As student and fan cheers echoed through Desert Financial Arena, Bennett barely reacted. The crowd grew louder, but Bennett sat on the bench, keeping his focus on the game and his opponent, East Tennessee State. After 25 seasons at Saint Mary’s, Bennett turned the page to a new chapter in his career. The Mesa Westwood High School graduate returned to his Arizona roots, taking the sideline for the first time in a regular-season game as coach of the team for which he grew up rooting. Bennett’s journey to his Sun Devil debut came with an unexpected detour. After accepting the coaching vacancy on March 23 following Bobby Hurley’s departure, Bennett had an undisclosed medical issue that led to a 10-day hospital stay at Mayo Clinic, delaying his introductory press conference to May 7. Despite the unexpected setback, Bennett was roaming the sideline when the Sun Devils defeated East Tennessee State 75-65, giving Bennett his first victory at ASU.  When asked what it meant to finally coach the team he cheered for growing up, Bennett struggled to put the significance into words. “The only way I can say it is, this means a lot to me,” he said. The victory did not come without obstacles. Only two players returned from last season’s roster. New situations bring challenges, but Bennett knows he must establish his coaching philosophy while his players build chemistry because they have limited experience playing together. Bennett spent much of the game on the bench, allowing his assistants to play a more active role in communicating with the players offensively. Only occasionally did his calm demeanor give way to emotion on the defensive side of the ball. He jumped out of his seat when his team drew a charge and remained standing for multiple possessions until a TV timeout after disagreeing with a foul called on Paulius Murauskas. Arizona State led the entire second half, but the Buccaneers tested the Sun Devils’ poise when they cut the lead to five at the halfway point. “What I was pleased with (was) composure,” Bennett said. “Because it was kind of ratty there for a while, and we were choppy on defense.” Bennett is no stranger to success, having established Saint Mary’s as a consistent NCAA Tournament threat. During his time in the West Coast Conference, Bennett compiled a 589-228 record with the Gaels and made 12 Tournament appearances, including six since 2019. During his time at Saint Mary’s, his teams emphasized getting stops on defense and finding high-quality looks offensively while controlling the pace and limiting mistakes. Bennett’s offensive philosophy was on display Monday. The Sun Devils created open looks but struggled to knock down shots early, shooting 3-for-14 from beyond the arc in the first half. ASU found more success from 3-point range in the second half, connecting on 41.7% of its attempts. ASU also won the turnover battle, committing 10 to East Tennessee State’s 13. Portland transfer guard Joel Foxwell played a pivotal role in creating offense for the Sun Devils with 15 points and five assists. He helped create opportunities for his teammates while adjusting to the blitzing and pressure from the Buccaneers’ defense. For Foxwell, Bennett’s system means making quick decisions to get his teammates open and keep everyone involved. “Randy’s just giving me the opportunity to go out there, run the team and give the guys the best shot possible,” Foxwell said.  Foxwell’s responsibility was evident throughout the game. The Sun Devils always looked to make the extra pass to help create open looks, something Bennett emphasized at Saint Mary’s. Despite the improvements offensively, Bennett’s defensive expectations are still a work in progress. Murauskas followed Bennett from Saint Mary’s to Arizona State and wasn’t satisfied with the defensive effort, since he knows the standard. “I don’t think we played great tonight,” Murauskas said. “I’m not satisfied with it, but it’s good that we grabbed the win. That’s the most important thing.” While Bennett’s first victory signals the beginning of a new era in Tempe, the challenge of competing in the Big 12 still looms. He built Saint Mary’s into a consistent postseason contender, but now he faces the task of achieving the same level of success in one of college basketball’s toughest conferences. Bennett understands building a successful program takes time, and he believes the Sun Devils have plenty of room to improve. “We gotta play better,” Bennett said. “If you act right and play hard, I think people appreciate that. And we’ll do that, but we’re just not where we need to be yet, and we won’t be for a while.” When the final buzzer sounded and the Sun Devils celebrated their season-opening win, the veteran coach remained stoic, treating it like any other. For Bennett, it was just one game, but it marked the beginning of a new chapter in his home state.

Unbeknownst to Krivas, nobody was there – or even in the vicinity of the pass – to finish the play as the ball bounced untouched toward the sideline.   Once again, the Wildcats’ supporting cast was a no-show. Only this time, Krivas couldn’t even give them the chance to deliver.  The potential limitations of Arizona’s role players were apparent on Monday night in the Wildcats’ 84-75 loss to the Bruins at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in the Hall of Fame Series.  Arizona didn’t look the part of a Tommy Lloyd-coached squad. It couldn’t secure defensive rebounds, it couldn’t defend the 3-point line and it made some costly mistakes late in the game. It almost overcame a first-half dud, largely on the back of sophomore forward Ivan Kharchenkov, who posted a 38-point double-double, adding 10 rebounds.  The rest of the team? That cast only managed 37 points.  “You have got a lot of new guys playing new roles and you get punched in the face a little bit and maybe you kind of lose your way,” Lloyd said. “But I’m proud of the way our guys fought back.” Krivas, the Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year, only managed two baskets the entire night, logging eight points while battling foul trouble.  “They did a good job of making Mo maybe a little bit indecisive,” Lloyd said. “But I mean, Mo did draw nine or 10 fouls. So he’s just got to be a little bit better.”  The Bruins clogged the lane, crowded the paint and sent doubles to Krivas on a regular basis, refusing to surrender the paint to Arizona’s 7-footer. Instead, they conceded open looks to other Wildcats. In some instances, the nearest UCLA defender was camped in the paint multiple feet away from Arizona shooters, daring the Wildcats to beat them from the 3-point line.  Arizona couldn’t make them pay.  The Wildcats only attempted 16 3-pointers per game a year ago to rank 359th out of 365 teams, but they attempted 30 shots beyond the arc on Monday. They shot just 23% on those attempts, sinking just one in the first half.   If that one-game trend continues, it could prove problematic for Arizona, which will likely see other teams employ a similar strategy against Krivas this season. Nonetheless, Lloyd said he’s not concerned, encouraging his players to keep shooting, especially when other teams are willingly conceding the 3-point shot.  “They were really heavy in the gaps, and they weren’t guarding guys. At some point you (have) got to shoot a few of those and you (have) got to figure it out,” Lloyd said. “We’ll definitely need a few more of those threes to go in, and we will get a few more to go in. There’s no panic after one game.” Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd was not happy with his team’s rebounding and hustle for loose balls in the Wildcats’ season-opening 84-75 loss to UCLA at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Monday. (Photo by Austin Gibbs/Cronkite News) While the 3-point struggles have plagued Arizona in the past, a few unfamiliar problems put the Wildcats in a hole early. One glaring issue for Lloyd’s squad was its inability to control the glass.  Off a free throw in the first half, freshman forward Nikola Kusturica skied into the air, tipping the ball to himself over two Arizona players to snag another UCLA offensive rebound. It was one of 16 in the game for the Bruins.  That type of effort on the boards doesn’t fly under Lloyd, who promptly spun around and screamed at the Wildcats’ bench in frustration, likely asking for someone on his team, anyone, for that matter, to corral a rebound.  The Bruins outrebounded Arizona 27-22 in the first half. Although Arizona managed to finish just one rebound behind the Bruins with 44, Lloyd remained dissatisfied with his team’s effort on the glass and coming up with loose balls.  “They definitely won the rebounding battle, and they won the loose ball battle,” Lloyd said. “That’s what these games come down to. You try to emphasize that with your team,. Maybe it doesn’t quite hit home until you have a moment like this.” UCLA’s control of the paint wasn’t limited to just rebounding. It also narrowly outscored the Wildcats in the paint, an area that Arizona has dominated in recent years. The absence of fifth-year forward RJ Godfrey, who is holding out for a court injunction to be able to play this season, hurt the Wildcats’ frontcourt depth.   In the past, however, it was a group effort that helped Arizona hunt the paint. On Monday, it seemed like Kharchenkov and Krivas were the only ones able to consistently make an impact in that area.  Freshman guard Caleb Holt was expected to help in that regard, but it was mostly tough sledding for the young guard against an experienced UCLA backcourt. He managed seven points on 2-for-7 shooting, battling foul trouble and struggling to develop an offensive rhythm.  Holt was just one of many players who displayed their youth against the Bruins. Lloyd emphasized that’s part of the learning process for a team that will need multiple underclassmen to be contributors this season.  As Lloyd noted, it’s one game in a long season. While Arizona’s performance against UCLA may have revealed potential flaws, its young players will likely continue to grow over the course of the season.    Consistent with his long-term approach to the season, Lloyd believes that the loss can be a helpful catalyst.  “Welcome to college basketball,” Lloyd said. “I told our guys, ‘What happens today is not going to define our team season, and it’s not going to define your individual season. So you just have to understand that you (have) got to keep it moving.’” Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae9f6f9726b22deeb6a6509 Johnny Depp no longer rules out a 'Pirates of the Caribbean' return after years away from franchise te 2026-11-03T15:00:09.728Z Johnny Depp no longer rules out a 'Pirates of the Caribbean' return after years away from franchise Johnny Depp isn't shutting the door on a return to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise. "Pirates of the Caribbean" is one of the most successful franchises in Hollywood history. The first film — "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" — was released in 2003 and ushered in a new era of superstardom for Depp. It also launched the A-list careers of Kiera Knightley and Orlando Bloom. Four more films were released between 2006 and 2017 with Depp always reprising his role of Captain Jack Sparrow. TOM CRUISE IS REPORTEDLY GOING TO MAKE AN INSANE AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR TOP GUN 3 However, the franchise never returned past 2017 following the fallout between Johnny Depp and his ex-wife, Amber Heard, who he famously and successfully sued for defamation over abuse allegations published in the Washington Post. Depp previously said there wasn't anything that could convince him to return to the franchise after the fallout. Now, it sounds like he's changing his tune and is open to reprising his role as Jack Sparrow if the situation is right. "If things are exactly where they need to be with regard to how they are going to top off the 'Pirates.' The only involvement I really want to have, truly, is just to send them off on a better note," Depp told Entertainment Tonight in a video published Monday. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER He continued, "I'll go to work with [producer Jerry] Bruckheimer tomorrow for anything, you know. Doesn't matter. If it's Jerry, I trust him and we have deep friendship." You can watch his full comments in the video below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com. "Pirates of the Caribbean" at its best — certainly the original film — is what great cinema is at its finest. It's fun, original, entertaining and doesn't take itself too seriously. There's also no preachy woke nonsense. Granted, that garbage didn't really exist in 2003. While it's very unclear if Depp will ever return to the "Pirates" universe, he has plenty of other things going on as he builds his career back up. He starred in "Jeanne du Barry" in 2023 and is starring in "Ebenezer," set for release Nov. 13, 2026, and "Day Drinker," scheduled for release in 2027. Both of his upcoming releases are major productions with stacked casts. Would you like to see Johnny Depp run it back once more as Captain Jack Sparrow? Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

Kathy Hochul over the state’s renewable energy policies, accusing her administration of silencing farmers and overriding local officials in upstate New York. The 52-year-old Big & Rich member has publicly joined local landowners, activists and officials who are challenging New York’s Office of Renewable Energy Siting (ORES), a state agency that reviews and permits major renewable energy and transmission projects. Last month, Rich released his new country song "Dear Kathy," which is directed at the Democratic governor, who is running for reelection. In the song, Rich speaks on behalf of farmers and landowners who are protesting large-scale solar and wind projects on upstate New York farmland, arguing that ORES has undermined local control and put family farms, rural communities and private property rights at risk. JOHN RICH WARNS NASHVILLE'S FAMED BROADWAY COULD GO DARK AS BUSINESSES FACE TAX ‘DEATH NAIL’ During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Rich shared his message for Hochul, pointing to the final line of "Dear Kathy," which asks, "Why do you hate these people so much?" "What have they ever done to you except pay taxes and put food on your table? That’s it," Rich said. "Why do you hate these people?" he continued. "Because only somebody that has a vindictive spirit would do what she’s doing to them — or greed." "I think greed is probably the largest driver in it because these companies that are coming in, building these huge fields. Listen, if you add up all the plans they have coming into upstate New York, it’s over 100 square miles of solar panels," Rich added. WILLIE NELSON URGES AMERICANS TO FIGHT 'WATER THIEVING' AI DATA CENTERS DEVOURING RURAL TEXAS FARMLAND The conflict centers on New York’s centralized permitting system for large-scale solar and wind projects. Created in 2020 under former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, ORES generally handles renewable energy projects capable of producing 25 megawatts or more. Its rules encourage developers to avoid the state’s most productive agricultural soils and require them to minimize or mitigate impacts when farmland cannot be avoided. ORES can also waive local zoning and land-use restrictions it deems "unreasonably burdensome," a power that critics argue gives state officials too much control over farmland and leaves local communities with limited say over projects in their areas. BROOKE ROLLINS, MONICA CROWLEY: AMERICA’S FAMILY FARMS HAVE KEPT US STRONG FOR 250 YEARS While speaking with Fox News Digital, Rich claimed Hochul’s administration used research from Cornell University to change how prime farmland is defined. The singer argued that the move made it easier for solar and wind projects to be built on agricultural land. WATCH: JOHN RICH SLAMS KATHY HOCHUL OVER FARMLAND DISPUTE: ‘WHY DO YOU HATE THESE PEOPLE?’ "She decided she didn’t like their definition of prime farmland because if it’s prime, it’s protected from solar and wind and projects like that," Rich said. "So they just redefined it. They just came up with a whole new equation and determined, well, based on these new numbers, there’s really no such thing as prime farmland anymore in upstate New York. So we can do whatever the hell we want to these people." AMISH FACE NEW YORK VACCINE MANDATE IN SUPREME COURT FIGHT, MIGHT HAVE TO ‘PACK THEIR WAGONS’ "Oh, by the way, we put ORES in place. So if they try to stop us, we just run right over the top of them," he continued. "I mean, it is a complete and total chokeout that she’s put on these farmers up there." "Some of these families have owned their farms, been in their families since before the Revolutionary War," Rich said. "You’re talking about one of the original 13 colonies, New York, and to think that 250 years later, after these same people’s ancestors had to fight off the British, now they’re standing there fighting with their own governor in the United States of America." "It is astonishing, and I find it to be disgusting. I also think it’s probably unconstitutional," he added. Since taking office in 2021, Hochul has continued to advance New York’s renewable energy agenda. Her administration has promoted large-scale solar and wind development and defended the state’s approach to farmland, arguing that renewable energy projects are not taking over New York’s "best farmland" and that leasing land for solar can help farmers keep their property in their families. When reached for comment by Fox News Digital, Hochul’s office pushed back on Rich’s criticism. "If he really wants to help farmers, maybe he can write a song calling on his buddy Donald Trump to lift the tariffs, end his reckless war with Iran that is driving up gas and diesel prices, and rein in the ICE raids, all of which are hurting farmers here in New York and across the country," Ken Lovett, a senior communications adviser on energy and environment for Hochul, said. DEBRA MESSING DITCHES DEMOCRAT FOR TRUMP-BACKED REPUBLICAN AS SHE SOUNDS ALARM OVER NEW YORK Rich said he first learned about the dispute after seeing Alexandra Fasulo, an upstate New York landowner and ORES critic, discuss it on social media. The singer said he was startled by the claim that the state could sideline landowners, zoning boards, mayors and other local officials when deciding where major projects would be built. "I said, that can’t be the case. I’m gonna go up and see this for myself," Rich recalled. Rich argued that ORES’ authority undermines "home rule," the principle that landowners and local governments should have authority over how land in their communities is used. During his visit, Rich held two town hall meetings, including one at Fasulo’s farm, where he met with hundreds of farmers and landowners. "We had Amish people standing in the room being silent, standing in the back," Rich said. "It looked like something out of a movie." "And we had this discussion about ‘What are we going to do about this governor running over everybody?’" he continued. "And man, the sentiment in the room was so much frustration and feeling of bewilderment that what do you do? I mean, she's put something into gear here that just runs us over and takes away our voice." The singer told Fox News Digital that the meetings ultimately inspired him to write "Dear Kathy."

"I need to write a song for the governor of New York on behalf of all those people whose voices she has silenced. And so that led to me with a pencil and a piece of paper and a guitar writing a letter or a song to Kathy Hochul." WATCH: JOHN RICH SAYS MEETING AMISH FARMERS INSPIRED SONG TARGETING KATHY HOCHUL On Oct. 28, Rich officially released the song and its accompanying music video, which highlights affected areas in upstate New York, showcasing local landowners and the Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, NY, which has actively opposed large wind projects near its grounds. "And I jokingly say in the video, 'What do you get the woman who has everything, including your freedom in her back pocket? Well, you give her the one thing she doesn't have — a country song,'" Rich said. "And so I wrote ‘Dear Kathy’ and it really was my way of speaking on behalf of those people that she will not listen to." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE WATCH: JOHN RICH CALLS ‘DEAR KATHY’ A ‘FIGHT SONG’ FOR NEW YORK FARMERS "One interesting thing about those farmers that I met — they were Democrat, Republican, probably more Democrat than Republican, actually," he said. "And so it's not a partisan thing. Owning land is an American thing. I mean it may be one of the last things we all agree on in this country is that if you own land, if you bought that land, and you take care of that land, that's your land." "You get to determine what happens to it or what doesn't happen to it," he continued. "And that's exactly what I felt up there. It was an across the board repudiation of Kathy Hochul and her assault on their land and on their land and on them and on their legacies." "To me, as bad as that is, that was a beautiful experience actually for me to sit up there knowing that this is not a partisan deal, and I'm sitting in the room with both sides of the aisle, but everybody is in unison," Rich added. Despite his criticism of Hochul, Rich told Fox News Digital that he would welcome the opportunity to meet with Hochul to discuss the landowners’ concerns directly. "If Kathy Hochul wanted to sit with me and have a meeting, I would jump on the next thing smoking to be up there," he said. "I mean, I would sit down at her desk. She could bring anybody she wants and I would just ask questions. ‘Why do you think this is OK? I mean you're still an American. Don't you think that this is against the Constitution? Home rule is a real thing. You don't think that people that you govern have the right to determine what happens to their own land and not just a farm here or there, a hundred square miles of land?' I would just ask her basic questions." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae9f248726b22deeb6a63e4 The economy is on the ballot. 3 charts reveal the reality voters face as they head to the polls te 2026-11-03T14:40:08.349Z The economy is on the ballot. 3 charts reveal the reality voters face as they head to the polls Voters who have already cast ballots and those heading to the polls on Tuesday are weighing an economy shaped by rising everyday costs, surging home prices and strong gains in the stock market. President Donald Trump vowed a better economy and a brighter financial future in his 2024 bid for office. But nearly two years into his second term, fuel prices have surged, inflation has accelerated and buying a home remains expensive — all pressures that put Republicans' affordability promises to the test in this midterm election cycle. Three charts help exhibit the economic forces shaping voters’ choices as control of Congress hangs in the balance and the future of Trump's agenda is put on the line. HIGH PRICES PUT TRUMP’S ECONOMY IN THE SPOTLIGHT AS THE GOP FIGHTS TO HOLD CONGRESS The latest inflation report showed consumer prices rose 3.7% over the year through September and 0.6% from August. The Consumer Price Index tracks prices across a broad range of household expenses, including food, housing, medical care and transportation. Trade policy has added to some of those costs. A New York Federal Reserve study found that Trump's tariffs added about 2.9 percentage points to prices across the consumer goods researchers examined. Roughly one-third of the increase came from U.S.-made products, as domestic manufacturers faced higher costs for imported materials and components under Trump's agenda. The impact varies by household, but these figures offer a snapshot of the price pressures voters may weigh ahead of the midterms. They show how costs have changed, though not how voters will assign responsibility. Higher energy costs are putting pressure on households and businesses, as the wars in Iran and Ukraine disrupt global fuel supplies. Diesel prices have climbed sharply, rising from about $3.45 per gallon in early 2025 to a peak of $6.53 in October 2026, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The increase matters beyond the pump because trucks, freight trains and farm equipment rely on diesel. AMERICAN-MADE GOODS ALSO GOT MORE EXPENSIVE UNDER TRUMP TARIFFS, NEW RESEARCH FINDS Higher fuel costs can raise expenses for businesses moving groceries, packages and building materials, which may absorb some of the increase or pass it along to customers. Gasoline prices are also adding to household costs. They jumped 9.1% in September, accounting for more than half of that month’s overall increase in the Consumer Price Index. Housing remains a major affordability challenge, particularly for prospective buyers. Freddie Mac’s 30-year mortgage rate averaged 7.24% as of Oct. 29, while the latest median price for an existing home was $417,500 in September, according to the National Association of Realtors. Mortgage rates shape buyers’ monthly payments, and home prices determine how much they need to borrow, making it harder for many households to enter the market. TRUMP’S HOUSING CHIEF PAINTS A GRIM PICTURE FOR HOMEOWNERSHIP IN ONE MAJOR AMERICAN CITY Rising home values can benefit people who already own property, but that wealth is difficult to access without selling or borrowing against a home. For renters and first-time buyers, the costs are more immediate. The data offer a snapshot of the costs voters have faced, but the charts alone cannot show how they will weigh the economy—or which party they will hold responsible—as results come in.

In an interview in Kyiv, Zelenskyy acknowledged holding discussions with the Trump administration about targeting oil facilities, attacks President Donald Trump has pinned as being partly to blame for high gas prices in the U.S. "We had different conversations — different, and several — with President Trump and with his team about attacks on refineries," Zelenskyy said. "We said that if you want us not to attack Russia's refineries, they have not to attack our energy system." TRUMP TELLS ZELENSKYY TO STOP DOING 'ONE THING' DURING ATTACKS ON RUSSIA Ukraine has reported near-daily Russian strikes on energy infrastructure, triggering power outages just as temperatures dip ahead of winter. "That's why we have to respond. But our response has to be painful for Russian military people," Zelenskyy said. "If we will not respond on energy, they will continue." U.S.-Ukraine relations took a further hit in October when Trump struck a deal to import millions of tons of Russian diesel to the United States. ZELENSKYY ACCUSES PUTIN OF DEFYING TRUMP'S CEASEFIRE PUSH, SENDS POINTED MESSAGE TO WHITE HOUSE Zelenskyy suggested Ukraine might be encouraged to hold off on further attacks on Russian oil facilities if the United States were to deliver more U.S.-made Patriot missile interceptors to protect Ukrainian skies. Pressed by Fox News on whether that might be seen as an attempt to leverage Trump, Zelenskyy said: "I don't have any concerns when I share the truth between partners." "Our countries are huge partners. American society (is a) huge supporter." "And that's why I have to share with (the) president the truth, the real situation: that America can't help Russia. (The) president can't help Putin." US WILL MEDIATE UPCOMING UKRAINE-RUSSIA TALKS IN ABU DHABI, WITKOFF SAYS Ahead of planned peace talks in the United Arab Emirates, Zelenskyy urged Trump to launch another push for a targeted ceasefire where both Russia and Ukraine refrain from attacks on energy facilities. "If the American president thinks that this war has influence on the prices," Zelenskyy said, "he can ask, energy ceasefire, during (the) Abu Dhabi trilateral meeting: energy ceasefire." Zelenskyy spoke with Fox News hours before starved and exhausted residents left the Russian-controlled town of Oleshky and crossed into Ukraine under a humanitarian truce brokered by first lady Melania Trump, the first of its kind in more than four years of war. Zelenskyy welcomed the first lady's initiative, calling the evacuations "a huge result," and adding: "I don't know how many such steps will be available for us, but if the First Lady can do it ... it's very helpful. I'm very thankful to her."

That prospect appeared to be buoyed by Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens’ 11th-hour endorsement of Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers over her primary rival, Abdul El-Sayed. Early Monday afternoon, Republican operatives in Michigan blasted out a press release advertising an event just hours later intended to tout Stevens’ endorsement and its purported impact on Black and Jewish voters. In front of a throng of press at the Michigan GOP’s headquarters, six community leaders representing African Americans and Jews criticized what they saw as El-Sayed’s excesses and lauded Stevens’ endorsement of Rogers. Broadly, they argued that El-Sayed had insufficiently distanced himself from some of his radical associations, that Stevens' endorsement had real significance for the race and that they were seeing an unprecedented groundswell of support for Republicans among their peers. MIKE ROGERS DISHES ON HOW SHOCK HALEY STEVENS ENDORSEMENT UNFOLDED HOURS BEFORE ELECTION DAY In addition to the community leaders, close to two dozen others — many of whom were Black or Jewish — attended the event as well. While some political observers have cast doubt on the impact of Steven’s endorsement and the degree to which African Americans and Jews are defecting from the Democratic Party, members of those communities told Fox News Digital the shift is happening. "I believe it's going to make a big difference that she came out," Michelle Nard, an African American former Democrat running for State Senate told Fox News Digital. "She had a big following. She's a great congresswoman, a great state representative for the United States." BLACK VOTERS RIP DEMS OVER TAKING THEM FOR GRANTED IN EL-SAYED'S BACKYARD: ‘HUSH US UP’ Nard recounted how she had recently spoken to a Black woman who highlighted that her community makes a big deal of going to the polls on Election Day, a point she used to stress that Haley’s endorsement, though late in the cycle, could still influence last-second voters. "You have strong Haley Stevens supporters in our community that will support her to the end, and then you have some that feel betrayed," Marcus Bowman, a metro Detroit school board trustee, told Fox News Digital. Bowman, who says he knows Stevens personally, said "true supporters of Haley Stevens, they know her as a person and they know what she represents. I think they will follow her and respect her for her decision based off some of the radical things we've heard about Abdul El-Sayed." While those who spoke were handpicked for a Republican news conference, there is some data to back up Black voter defection. Between August and September, El-Sayed’s support among African Americans held steady at around 75%, well below the party's typical benchmark. FOX NEWS POLL: MICHIGAN VOTERS SPLIT BETWEEN EL-SAYED AND ROGERS The Arab American community in the Detroit metropolitan area has historically been at odds with African Americans in the areas across a number of issues, a theme that has come up occasionally during El-Sayed’s campaign. While comparable polls have not found similar trends among Jewish voters, who are a much smaller part of Michigan’s electorate, a number of high-profile members of the communities, including top donors, have flocked to the Rogers camp. "Haley, what she did was give a lot of Jews permission, hardcore left-wing Democrats, permission to now say, you know what, if Haley can endorse him, I can vote for him," Aaron Tobin, a conservative Jewish community leader, told Fox News Digital in reference to Mike Rogers. "Now I think she's broken that wall down and now they can see that a hardcore Democrat — and she was very successful and very popular in Michigan — if she said Mike Rogers is good enough for her, I think a lot of Jews are going to say, 'I'm going to vote for him because Abdul just says the worst things.'" Ezra, another Jewish voter, told Fox News Digital that he believes Jews have increasingly been abandoned by the Democratic Party and, even if Stevens’ endorsement doesn’t move the needle, he’s grateful that she took a stand. "The [March 12] terrorist attack in [a] West Bloomfield [synagogue], I believe was the starting point of the Detroit Jewish community being afraid and that fear was not alleviated over the next [six months]. That fear has not been alleviated by Abdul El-Sayed in any sort of way, which is why I think you're seeing this," he said. "We're waiting for something and it's not coming. And so that's why I think you're seeing so many in the Jewish community moving for Mike Rogers because they're like, you know what, that guy's going to keep my family safe. The other guy's not." MAMDANI, HASAN PIKER AMONG RADICAL LEFT-WING VOICES ERUPTING OVER HALEY STEVENS' ENDORSEMENT SWITCH "I think in some ways, it's, it's more brave because it's at the last minute. In some ways, you know what, who knows, even if it, if it's 100 votes or 1000 votes, then it makes a difference," he added. These alleged breakthroughs with traditionally Democratic constituencies took center stage at Rogers’ closing rally on Monday night. At one point, the campaign invited six Black and Jewish voters, most of them former Democrats, to take the stage where they explained why they believed El-Sayed to be too extreme for their support. Rogers himself praised the group during his final campaign speech, invoked the need for unity and thanked Stevens at length for her endorsement. Conservatives at the rally were clearly grateful to Stevens for her endorsement, with nearly every mention of her name being met with cheers or chants of her name. Republicans are even optimistic that Stevens’ endorsement could trickle down to their down-ballot races. MICHIGAN DEM CLAIMS STEVENS SHOT DOWN ROGERS ENDORSEMENT RUMOR HOURS BEFORE TURNING ON EL-SAYED "I was on the ground last week in Michigan and Ohio, and the momentum in Michigan is real. It was real before Haley Stevens endorsed Mike Rogers, even more real now," Adam Piper, executive director of the Republican Attorneys General Association, told Fox News Digital. Piper said he "absolutely" believes Stevens’ endorsement will move the needle for Michigan Republican attorney general nominee Doug Lloyd. "You know, around the Detroit area, Grosse Pointe, Detroit, elsewhere, I saw homemade yard signs in the yards of black churches that said African-Americans and Jews stand together. And that was powerful." Lloyd said he is optimistic that Stevens’ endorsement of Rogers could give him a boost. "Well, I saw something today in the news that basically said 50% of the available voters have voted through absentee and early voting. We still have one day left. And as we've said, you know, the race isn't done until 8 o'clock tomorrow night when the polls close," he said. "So, if this made a difference for someone who had been sitting on the sideline and they decided they were going to get out and vote because of it, I'm excited for that." Democrats have argued Stevens’ endorsement could strengthen, rather than weaken, El-Sayed’s support. Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel said he expected the episode to galvanize Democrats, while El-Sayed’s campaign reported raising $2.4 million Sunday, its largest fundraising day of the campaign. While cutting into the Democratic Party’s margins by successfully pulling away Black and Jewish voters could prove valuable to the GOP, a reversion among Arab voters — who swung toward Republicans in 2024 but strongly favor El-Sayed — could erase such gains. Fox News’ final power ranking rated Michigan’s Senate race as a toss-up, meaning that, as voters head to the polls, neither party holds a clear edge.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae9ed96726b22deeb6a6206 9th Circuit block on California noncitizen voter probe lifted, then restored in legal boomerang te 2026-11-03T14:20:06.891Z 9th Circuit block on California noncitizen voter probe lifted, then restored in legal boomerang A federal appeals court briefly lifted a block on the Trump administration’s efforts to investigate alleged voting by noncitizens in California, then reversed course hours later, sending the dispute to the full 11-judge 9th Circuit for rehearing. Earlier Monday night, a three-judge panel granted the Justice Department’s request to pause a temporary restraining order issued by a San Francisco federal judge. That order had barred the administration from making further requests to set aside ballots under the warning of prosecution of state and local election officials who declined. The panel said the government was likely to prevail in arguing that its requests and criminal investigations were core executive functions. FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS TRUMP DOJ'S THREATS AGAINST ELECTION WORKERS AHEAD OF 2026 MIDTERMS Hours later, the full 9th Circuit vacated the ruling and ordered the case reheard by all 11 active judges, according to the court’s order. The move restored the district court’s restrictions while the full court considers the dispute. "The TRO issued by a San Francisco judge purporting to restrict DOJ investigations into election officials has been appropriately lifted," First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli wrote on X before the temporary restraining order was restored. "Conducting criminal investigations is a core function of the executive branch, not the judiciary." The case against investigating allege noncitizen voting was brought by labor unions and civil rights groups, including the NAACP and the League of United Latin American Citizens. They argued that DOJ and Homeland Security letters to election officials, which warned of potential criminal liability over ballots linked to suspected noncitizens, amounted to intimidation. CALIFORNIA ELECTION WORKERS HIT WITH CRIMINAL SUBPOENAS AS TRUMP DOJ TURNS UP HEAT IN VOTING SHOWDOWN The Trump administration argues that allowing illegal voting and halting investigative work could lead to prosecution for those involved. "Americans deserve to have confidence in their elections," Essayli wrote late Monday night. "The courts have made it clear that the preferred remedy for election law violations is criminal prosecution. Building on Operation Protect the Vote, we will continue investigating and charging those who violate election laws or assist in their violation." The appeals court whiplash followed a separate Supreme Court rejection of the Trump administration's effort to protect the vote Monday. The justices denied an emergency request to require California to set aside mail ballots from roughly 20,000 registered voters federal officials flagged as likely noncitizens. BLANCHE ANNOUNCES CHARGES AGAINST 10 PERMANENT RESIDENTS ACCUSED OF MINNESOTA VOTER FRAUD "We will continue pursuing every available legal avenue to protect the integrity of our elections and ensure federal law is enforced," acting U.S. Deputy Attorney General Trent ​McCotter wrote on X. The administration had demanded that California separate any allegedly unlawful ballots from other ballots and not count them until those voters are determined to be U.S. citizens through investigations that the state has rejected without review. "Once California commingles the challenged ballots with lawful ones, there is no way to get the challenged ballots back," the Justice Department wrote in its request to the Supreme Court. DHS OFFICIAL VOWS TO PROSECUTE AND DEPORT NONCITIZENS CAUGHT ILLEGALLY VOTING AHEAD OF MIDTERMS The DOJ has been forced into a legal Catch-22 where it has to watch votes be cast in California, even if they have alleged evidence of them being noncitizen voters, and then pursue legal action afterward. Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that 63 people were charged with election crimes Monday. "Today's announcement marks the largest surge of voter-fraud arrests since President [Donald] Trump returned to office," Blanche wrote in a statement. "These foreign nationals allegedly took advantage of the trust of the American people and flouted the laws that govern our nation’s elections. This Department of Justice will continue investigating and prosecuting voter fraud to restore confidence in our electoral system." The DOJ has charged 195 illegal immigrants across 25 states with illegal voting and voter registration offenses in the past nine weeks. There have been charges against 239 people with voting fraud offenses since Trump returned to the White House, according to the DOJ.

Did you see Jerry Jones' reaction to the end of Sunday's game against the Cardinals where the Dallas defense gave up TWENTY (20!!!!) fourth quarter points only to lose in overtime? "S–T," Jerry yelled from his box as he slammed his hands into a table as his 'Boys ran their record to 3-5 with the 33-30 loss. JERRY JONES SLAMS TABLE AFTER DAK PRESCOTT THROWS CRITICAL LATE INTERCEPTION IN BRUTAL COWBOYS LOSS These are very dark, very moody times for Jerry. This was supposed to be a huge month. The team has four home games at AT&T. The NFC East was his for the taking with the Eagles floundering and coming to town on Thanksgiving. "This is an indictment of the whole show," Jer told reporters Sunday night after a dark day in Cowboys history. "This is a criticism of everyone." DALLAS COWBOYS CHEERLEADER ALUM REACTS TO MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE GUN STUNT, RIC WILL BE OK & NBA FLOPPING "For our fans, we have to be better than that, where we got our hands on the win and then dropped the ball," Jerry added. While Jerry was dealing with disappointment, there was equal disappointment from fans of the Cowboys cheerleaders over the dark, moody costumes. "Costume malfunction they needed to have those pants elastic size underneath the boots . Also probably not a popular response, but they weren’t very becoming on some of the girls," one fan wrote on Instagram. "They’re beautiful that attractive ladies. My point was there could’ve been something else selected that would’ve made them look and feel a whole lot better." It was just a total disaster of a day for the organization. Fans really weren't into the "Stampede" look. "I’m shocked Kellie and Judy let them wear these," wrote another fan. Fans thought the outfits looked like something a stripper would wear.

Thank god it's over until the next cycle which will probably start in March. On Monday, I received EIGHT text messages from campaigns trying to get me to vote for them. I've also received two video messages from Archie Griffin telling me to vote. And, I'm not kidding, as I typed the last sentence, yet another text message came in telling me where to vote. Give me those Christmas commercials. The story of this guy who was walking around the world for 28 years is being hailed as some sort of accomplishment for humanity. Meanwhile, this loser left two kids in the UK so he could go for a walk. And I'm told he couldn't come back to see his kids because he would've broken his promise to walk around the world. Bulls–t. I'm also not convinced that this guy swam all the way across the English Channel. And what was stopping this guy from jumping on Zoom to talk to his mother? The BBC reported, "His mother, who had not seen him for a decade, told Bushby: 'Where have you been?'" I'm not buying any of this. The guy's a deadbeat. "Under the rules he set for his journey, he could not return to the UK to meet his family," the BBC added. "On rare occasions, he met his son and parents, who are divorced, in other countries." What other 'deal' am I missing in family ready-to-go meals these days? • Jack N. sent this to the Daily OutKick newsletter, but I would like to answer it: How can you explain Ohio State coaching, they were playing the 4th quarter like they were two touchdowns up.  They continued to run the ball play after play and down 2 scores, well Day did  it again, terrible play calling, he won the stats and lost by a lot, amazing. Kinsey: Two words - ARTHUR & SMITH. The guy thinks he's in the middle of an NFL season. There's zero sense of urgency. We've watched him not call a single play for Jeremiah Smith with the ball on the one-yard-line. We've watched him put the QB in the gun from the one-yard-line. I honestly have no idea how the guy keeps getting jobs. • Gen X Warren has a theory: MJ Halloween costumes: one of my neighbor’s twin sons dressed as Thriller MJ and kids all around the neighborhood have been all about Michael Jackson playing the music. It’s because of the massive hit film earlier this year. It’s interesting to see Gen Alpha really embrace MJ. Kinsey: Kids were watching a Michael Jackson documentary? Warren, I want to believe you, but I'm not sure kids around here are sitting down to watch an MJ doc. This has to be something they're seeing on Fortnite, TikTok or some other game/app I don't know about. • 'Sheriff' John in Houston adds his perspective: 1) On the groceries, we used to do the HEB curbside when the boys were younger, but that eventually just became its own PITA. When we did, I was always leery of letting them pick out my produce and fresh meat. Now we just make random grocery and costco runs when we need something or have decided to cook. Other than that, we eat out a lot and I see that getting even more frequent once the final child goes to college next year (I've noticed older couples eat out a lot). Personally, my preferred time for grocery shopping is 10:00 PM on a weeknight or 6:00 AM on a Saturday. Hate crowds. 2) On the college football question. First, OU is having a pretty bad season (except against my Longhorns) so you might expect attendance to be down. That photo might not be indicative of the whole sport. Second, big college stadiums are always slow to fill up pregame and that picture was obviously taken before kickoff. ALL THAT BEING SAID... I have noticed that my personal interest in CFB is waning. I still love gambling and staying up late drinking on the porch on saturdays, but the free agent / mercenary culture is really kind of off-putting. Those aren't "our guys" anymore, they are someone else's guys we are paying to come play for us. Texas is the worst. We can pay the most for players and we still have the same problems year to year. It does tend to strangle out the enthusiasm in the fans, at least for this fan, and I can really see how fans of the smaller poorer schools lose enthusiasm as well. As soon as you have some good players, they just leave. That would suck. So, to circle back on your question, I don't know if that particular OU photo means anything, but I do think the average fan is losing interest. • Jeff E. emails: I don’t go into a grocery store that often.  Maybe once every three months.  FYI - I wouldn’t have groceries delivered.  It’s one of those analog human experiences I sort of enjoy.  New products.  Seeing someone I know.  Plus I want control over my purchases.

"We were giving them $4 billion – we are – but it gets cut off at the end of the year," Trump told "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday morning in an Election Day morning announcement. Trump said the support included "things and money," and described it as military aid, cash or "barter." He said he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had discussed ending the assistance for years, adding that Netanyahu raised the idea. "They don’t need it," Trump said. "Israel is a very thriving country." The current U.S.-Israel security assistance agreement provides about $3.8 billion annually through 2028. Netanyahu has previously said he wants to phase out Israel’s reliance on U.S. military aid, though the timing and terms of any change to the agreement have not been detailed in the remarks provided.

The technique taught at basketball camps back in my day was the B.E.E.F method. Balance, eyes, elbow, follow-through. As you get further in your basketball career, a coach may tell you to pick a spot at the center of the free-throw line and line it up with the center of the backboard. Sure, the pressure mounts, your hands get sweaty and things can go awry. Who hasn’t airballed a foul shot in front of a Catholic school auditorium filled with 50 people on a Saturday morning? THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Finding that balance and getting the technique down pat is important. It’s why South Florida Bulls women’s basketball center Kendall Puryear caught people off guard on Monday against the Furman Paladins. Puryear went to the foul line in the second quarter with 3:54 left in the first half. She took her time and jolted upward, looking as though she was going to shoot her shot like any other player but instead cocked back her right arm and chucked the basketball toward the basket. She missed both foul shots – the only two she took in the Bulls’ 80-54 win – and finished with 12 points, nine rebounds and three steals in 28 minutes. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE But it was the strange shooting motion that took over social media. Puryear, a junior, spent the first two seasons of her collegiate career with the Purdue Boilermakers before she transferred to South Florida. She averaged 6.6 points and 3.2 rebounds during the 2025-26 season with Purdue. Over her career, Puryear is shooting 57% from the free-throw line. She was a McDonald’s All-American Game nominee and a finalist for Miss Show-Me Basketball in Missouri.

The NYPD told Fox News Digital that Katie Suarez, 28, was rushed to the hospital following the attack that happened Friday evening on Shore Parkway Greenway in Brooklyn. She "sustained multiple stab wounds," police said. BRUCE BLAKEMAN HAMMERS DEM GOV HOCHUL, MAMDANI OVER SUBWAY SAFETY DURING NYC CAMPAIGN RIDE Suarez is an avid runner, having completed races with the New York Road Runners. "We were sad to hear of this horrible attack — our hearts are with her family and the running community," a spokesperson for the organization said. Suarez was not registered to run in this past weekend's New York City Marathon.  Responsing to the recent violence, a spokesperson for New York Governor Kathy Hocul said, "Governor Hochul has zero tolerance for violence of any kind and believes any perpetrator must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Since taking office, the Governor has funded law enforcement at record levels and strengthened bail and discovery laws to hold all violent offenders accountable. Governor Hochul's top priority is public safety and she will always fight to protect all New Yorkers." New York City Council Member Kayla Santosuosso who represents southern Brooklyn also responded to the tragedy. SMART STREET SENSORS COULD BE WATCHING YOUR CITY NEXT In a statement to Fox News Digital, she said, "I am horrified by the stabbing of Katie Suarez, and first and foremost my thoughts are with Katie and her loving family. I have been personally assured by Police Commissioner Tisch that the NYPD is pulling out all the stops in their efforts to catch the perpetrator. The promenade where this horrific crime took place has been poorly lit for years, since well before I took office. We will be working to ensure that upcoming renovations to the pedestrian bridge near the scene and the promenade itself will include sufficient lighting." She called the recent violence against women "deeply disturbing." MAMDANI UNVEILS SWEEPING NYPD USE-OF-FORCE REVIEW, BUT STOPS SHORT OF FULFILLING KEY CAMPAIGN PROMISES Santosuosso went on to say, "We deserve to be able to walk and jog in our neighborhoods without worrying for our safety. This is a serious and personal issue for me as a woman and as a mother and I will be doing everything in my power to keep southern Brooklyn a place where women can live without fear." 📩 Send me a story idea: kelsie.cairns@fox.com 📸 Instagram: kelsiecairns_tv 🎥 Facebook: Kelsie Cairns THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERA ON YOUR STREET CORNER: LAWFUL SPYING OR CONSTITUTIONALLY PROBLEMATIC? Retired NYPD inspector and Fox News contributor Paul Mauro said lighting, in addition to surveillance, needs to be the first step at preventing the repeated violence. "Lighting is great, but I would not only ask for that. I would ask for cameras and very ostentatious cameras." WOMAN BUSTED IN NYC RABBI SYRINGE ATTACK ALLEGEDLY STABBED ANOTHER JEWISH MAN HOURS EARLIER: REPORT He went on to say, "You want people to feel like they are observed." Mauro said Santosuosso's plan to increase "lighting" in the area "tacitly" follows Giuliani-era "broken windows" policing in New York City. That strategy involved targeting lower-level crimes and public offenses to prevent more serious crimes, an approach that was popularized under former mayor Rudy Giuliani during his time in office from 1994 to 2001. FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X In a separate case, police said a woman, 39, was raped at knifepoint in Central Park across the street from a stretch of multimillion-dollar apartments on Fifth Avenue on Oct. 24. GET BREAKING NEWS BY EMAIL LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST It was the fifth reported sex assault in the park this year. There have been no arrests in either recent case. This perceived silence on street-level interventions for everyday New Yorkers has drawn sharp criticism, especially when contrasted with the state’s aggressive response to higher-profile collegiate incidents. Last month, Hochul took unprecedented executive action regarding an alleged gang-rape at Cornell University, appointing Attorney General Letitia James as a special prosecutor and directing State Police to take over sexual assault complaints on the Ivy League campus. While Hochul publicly vowed not to let the Cornell case get "swept under the rug," critics argue that the same fierce executive urgency is nowhere to be found for New York City residents navigating daily life and public parks in the five boroughs. NYPD IDENTIFIES WOMAN KILLED IN TIMES SQUARE STABBING SPREE In response to the attack on Suarez, James said in a post on X on Monday: "This is outrageous and unacceptable. No New Yorker should have to fear such violence. I’m praying for a swift recovery for Katie, and keeping her family in my thoughts. I urge anyone with information to contact @NYPDTips." A spokesperson for Mayor Zohran Mamdani's office said: "The recent attacks on women across our city are horrific. Every New Yorker should be able to walk anywhere in our city at any time of day or night without fear of violence. The Mamdani administration is committed to ensuring that survivors are heard and supported — and that those responsible are held accountable. We will continue working with survivors, service providers and community partners to strengthen prevention, close gaps in services and confront gender-based violence." SIGN UP TO GET THE LATEST TRUE CRIME NEWS Neither the mayor nor City Council mentioned increasing patrols in the city – something Mauro sees as a major red flag. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FROM THE FOX TRUE CRIME HUB "Nobody will be willing to admit that good policing keeps people safe because they need the police as something to beat up on," he said. SEND US A TIP While city leaders have kept quiet on the possibility of increasing patrols following the recent attacks, Mauro warned that any young woman who either lives in the city currently or is planning a move there should educate herself on the real dangers that are happening in the city. GOT A TIP? "Young women, you better understand what you're getting into because you are joining a city whose leadership does not prioritize your safety. They take it for granted, and they are willing to countenance instances like this in furtherance of some wrongheaded notional agenda that is going to lead us all into some socialist egalitarian Shangri-La that is never going to arrive."

He partook on Monday night, but under quite unusual circumstances. During the third quarter of the Philadelphia 76ers' home matchup against the Chicago Bulls, James chased after a loose ball and ended up bumping into a fan who happened to be carrying a cup of red wine. James saw this as an opportunity for a quick tasting, so he grabbed the cup from the fan's hand and took a sip before getting back out onto the floor. NBA HAS NO ISSUE WITH LEBRON JAMES' HELICOPTER COMMUTE, 76ERS STAR CALLS TRANSPORTATION 'JUST ANOTHER WAY' While it made for a viral moment and gave the fan, Troy Clemons, a story he could tell for the rest of his life, he didn't make it any bigger than what it was. Speaking with ESPN's Kris Rhim after having his cup of wine taken from him, Clemons shared his initial reaction to the moment while dropping a strong line about James being a regular guy. "At the end of the day, he's another man like me," Clemons said when asked what he was going to do with the cup James drank from. "He's LeBron, but I threw that cup in the trash, and it's nothing up with him, but I just got a fresh drink." THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! In a world where the majority of people in Clemons' situation would have milked the situation for all it is worth, it's cool to see a regular guy have a regular reaction to a moment such as this. Philadelphia ended up blowing out the Bulls 126-107 on Monday night, as James scored 15 points, dished out nine assists, and snagged seven rebounds in 31 minutes of action. James' tenure in Philadelphia has gotten off to a nearly flawless start, with the 76ers opening the campaign up at 7-1 and the 41-year-old looking extremely comfortable in a new city and a new role of not being asked to do all of the heavy lifting.

Green decided to wrap his arms around the 7-foot-1 player’s waist and threw him down to the floor. Dillon Brooks rushed over and put his hand on Green to get him to backpedal from Maluach. Green, in turn, grabbed Brooks by his jersey. Green had to be pulled back to the sideline. Green was hit with consecutive technical fouls and received his first ejection of the season. Golden State was down 67-57 with 10 minutes left in the period, but stormed all the way back to win the game 116-113. Brooks said he was trying to keep things calm when he entered the fray.

"Found it a little bit in the second quarter and then they came out in the third quarter pretty well and then that kind of changed the game for us. Everybody locked in a little bit more and came together for Dray. I think it was needed. Maybe he sensed it, maybe he didn't, but it helped us." Maluach brushed off Green’s antics. "I think it's just a basketball play, he's just out there playing basketball," Maluach said. "Nothing against Draymond, he's just playing basketball out there." Green has received 179 technical fouls in his career and has been ejected 23 times. He now has three technical fouls in the Warriors’ first eight games.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae9d623726b22deeb6a5b3a Federal judge tosses Trump admin Harvard admissions lawsuit, leaves door open to future challenge te 2026-11-03T12:40:03.954Z Federal judge tosses Trump admin Harvard admissions lawsuit, leaves door open to future challenge A federal judge on Monday dismissed the Trump administration's lawsuit seeking to force Harvard University to turn over admissions records as part of an investigation into whether the Ivy League school continues to consider race in its admissions process. U.S. District Judge Myong Joun ruled that the Justice Department had not adequately established that it followed required procedures before suing Harvard to obtain applicant-level admissions data. The dismissal was issued without prejudice, leaving the door open for the administration to file another lawsuit if it addresses the procedural deficiencies identified by the court. "The Government may be able to identify a qualifying determination or cure the procedural deficiency, but it has not supplied a sufficient basis for the judicial relief currently sought," Joun wrote in his 10-page decision. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ACCUSES PRESTIGIOUS LAW SCHOOL OF FAVORING BLACK APPLICANTS OVER WHITE, ASIAN PEERS The Justice Department filed its lawsuit in February, alleging that Harvard had failed to cooperate with a federal civil rights review examining whether the university's admissions practices comply with the Supreme Court's 2023 ruling limiting the use of race in college admissions. The Justice Department alleged that Harvard repeatedly delayed producing requested documents and failed to provide individualized admissions records despite multiple requests and extended deadlines. JUDGE’S HARVARD ANTISEMITISM RULING SENDS TRUMP JUSTICE DEPARTMENT BACK TO DRAWING BOARD In announcing the lawsuit in February, then-Attorney General Pam Bondi accused Harvard of withholding information necessary for the government's review. "Harvard has failed to disclose the data we need to ensure that its admissions are free of discrimination," Bondi said at the time. Joun acknowledged that federal officials had made repeated requests for records and warned Harvard of potential enforcement action. But the judge found that the government's court filings failed to adequately demonstrate that officials had followed the required procedures before seeking judicial intervention. In particular, Joun noted that the Justice Department's complaint did not allege that officials had notified Harvard of their intent to pursue litigation if the university failed to comply or adequately identified the specific compliance failure at issue. HARVARD, NYU AMONG 30 UNIVERSITIES HIT WITH PENTAGON FOREIGN-TIE AUDIT DEADLINE Joun also found that the Department of Education had not sufficiently demonstrated that it followed its own required procedures before referring its separate admissions investigation for judicial enforcement. Harvard's attorneys argued that the lawsuit was part of a broader retaliatory campaign by the Trump administration after the university resisted demands for changes to its governance and academic policies, according to Reuters. The judge did not rule on Harvard's retaliation claims, stressing that his decision addressed procedural deficiencies rather than whether the university had violated federal civil rights law. "Nothing in this decision converts the Government's request for information into an accusation of present discrimination or resolves Harvard's underlying Title VI compliance," the judge wrote. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Justice Department, Department of Education and Harvard University for comment. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae9cf1d726b22deeb6a580f MICHAEL RUIZ: Idaho college massacre survivor says family moved 9 times as strangers followed them te 2026-11-03T12:10:05.996Z MICHAEL RUIZ: Idaho college massacre survivor says family moved 9 times as strangers followed them The University of Idaho student massacre survivor who came face-to-face with a masked man believed to be Bryan Kohberger is asking a Latah County judge to press pause on an order granting the release of video and images that could show her face in a firsthand letter describing how the trauma has upended her life. "I worry that even appearing in the background of someone’s photo could lead to more people recognizing me or identifying where I am," Dylan Mortensen wrote in an affidavit to Judge Megan Marshall, asking her to reconsider the order. Mortensen added that she now uses an alias for delivery orders, at her job and even when introducing herself to new people. BRYAN KOHBERGER'S COURT HEARINGS ABRUPTLY CANCELED AS LAWYER WARNS OF LENGTHY LEGAL BATTLE "Since November 2022, my family and I have had to move nine times in an effort to protect our privacy and safety," she wrote. "Reporters and strangers investigating the case on their own have shown up outside our homes, followed family members, and invaded our privacy in ways that have made it difficult to feel safe." Mortensen was one of the first to speak with police after they responded to 1122 King Road in Moscow on Nov. 13, 2022. Read Dylan Mortensen's affidavit: She also saw a masked man in her home after the 4 a.m. murders and texted another surviving roommate about it — but didn't call 911. Police weren't called until around noon, after Mortensen and the other survivor, Bethany Funke, contacted friends who came to the house. One of them saw the remains of their roommate Xana Kernodle, 20, and her boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, also 20. Responding officers also found 21-year-olds Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves dead on the top floor. "Along with losing four of my friends and experiencing something incredibly traumatic, I have spent nearly four years dealing with public attention, harassment, threats, and constant speculation about my involvement in what happened," Mortensen wrote. "People who have never met me have formed opinions about my character, questioned my actions, and accused me of things I had absolutely nothing to do with." Read her mother's affidavit: Later, she wrote, "It is difficult to feel completely comfortable in public when I am constantly considering whether someone knows who I am and what they might believe about me." What protection she has left, according to her lawyer, is the blur over her face in redacted police video and photographs, and releasing an unblurred version would be an "unwarranted invasion of personal privacy." Mortensen's attorney, Robyn McPherson, filed a motion to intervene last week after Marshall agreed to the release of previously held records from an independent media company, EWU Media LLC. She is also asking the judge to reconsider her the Oct. 20 order and issue a stay until the petition and appeals are resolved. The motion to reconsider asks Marshall to require Moscow authorities to identify the withheld records, submit them for a private "in-camera" judicial review and prepare a detailed index, arguing that her client can't fully argue for her right to privacy without knowing what the records contain. FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X She said Moscow's city attorney told her that the documents were expected to include interviews, photographs and videos of Mortensen. EWU filed a public records request on Aug. 28, 2025, which was at least partially denied. The entity than asked the court to compel the city to disclose them, and Marshall agreed to do so last month. Read the motion to reconsider: In another court filing, McPherson wrote that she filed the motion days after learning that Moscow's city attorney did not plan to challenge the decision. SIGN UP TO GET THE LATEST TRUE CRIME NEWS "D.M. seeks reconsideration of the October 20 order only on the issue of whether disclosure of the records withheld by the City [of Moscow] would constitute 'an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy," McPherson wrote.

SEND US A TIP McPherson is asking for her client to join the case to pursue a stay on the release of additional images and reconsideration of Marshall's order. She argued neither Moscow officials nor other intervenors — the families of Chapin and Madison Mogen — have been aligned with her specific privacy interest. Kohberger pleaded guilty in July 2025 and then tried to take back his plea earlier this year. The case is still playing out in front of a different judge.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae9cccb726b22deeb6a5463 Housing affordability weighs on Arizona voters te 2026-11-03T12:00:11.313Z Housing affordability weighs on Arizona voters WASHINGTON – Income hasn’t caught up with housing costs over the last two years for many people in Arizona and other electoral battlegrounds. That affordability gap is weighing on voters in the midterms. “Housing is one of the issues that really connects the economy directly to people’s everyday lives,” said Alison Cook-Davis, research director at Arizona State University’s Morrison Institute for Public Policy. Statewide surveys have shown that housing costs are top of mind for Arizona voters, and candidates have sought to assure them they’ll do something about it. A week before Election Day, Rep. Eli Crane, R-Oro Valley, toured home manufacturers in Phoenix and Chandler with Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Scott Turner.  In the press release, Crane vowed to “expand housing options for Arizonans.” Turner posted on X that day, Oct. 26, that under President Donald Trump, “we’re supporting innovators to increase supply and help more families achieve the American Dream of homeownership.” Turner appeared in Tucson the next day with another embattled incumbent, Rep. Juan Ciscomani, R-Tucson. They toured Gospel Rescue Mission, a faith-based homeless shelter, to discuss housing accessibility.  “We see a common theme: costs are higher, making it more difficult for families to enter the marketplace,” Ciscomani said, according to his office. Lisa Paffrath, president of Northern Arizona Association of Realtors, agreed that high housing costs are a major concern in Arizona. “Since 2024 things have not gotten better,” she said. “We still have an issue with housing affordability, housing for (the) workforce – and that’s throughout the state.” A statewide survey conducted in August by Arizona’s nonpartisan Citizens Clean Elections Commission found that 71% of registered voters in Arizona care about candidates’ views on housing costs. That was more than any other issue besides road, bridge and utility infrastructure – including such topics as immigration enforcement and public safety.  In a separate survey conducted in June and August by the Center for the Future of Arizona, just over half of Arizonans – regardless of party – said high housing costs prevent them from improving their finances. “It really is both sides of the fence, whether you’re Republican or Democrat, hoping for a change in government because it has not gotten better in the last two years,” Paffrath said. According to Freddie Mac, the average rate on a 30-year mortgage just before Election Day was 7.24%, up more than 1 percentage point from a year earlier. That spike makes homebuying more costly, which keeps some renters from making the jump – in turn, pushing up demand for rentals. A poll released by the ASU Center for Latinas/os and American Politics Research and ASU Hispanic Research Center in September found that 63% of Arizona voters view housing costs and inventory as a serious problem. Zachary Milne, director of policy and research at the conservative Common Sense Institute, a think tank, said that household sizes are growing faster than housing stock as people find it hard to move out of parents’ homes or start families. “It correlates exactly with what we saw with prices, and I think in states like Arizona, that change may have been more pronounced,” Milne said. Gov. Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, expanded the Arizona is Home downpayment assistance program last year. Her challenger, Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Gilbert, has made housing affordability a top campaign priority, promising to reduce red tape to speed permits for new construction and to end Hobbs’ “anti-homebuilding policies.”  In Congress, he has pushed legislation meant to deter people in the country illegally from owning a home, with the stated goal of reducing demand and driving down prices. “If you want people to live the American dream, you have to make it so they can get into a home,” Biggs said Oct. 26 on the Mike Broomhead Show on KTAR. Jay Feely, the GOP nominee to succeed Rep. David Schweikert, R-Fountain Hills, also blames Arizona’s housing shortage on lax border security. In a Sept. 7 interview on FOX 10 Phoenix, he echoed a claim previously made by Trump that 30% of the rise in home prices during the Biden administration stemmed from illegal immigration.  “I’ll work to cut regulations and permit barriers to building more homes, making it easier to construct new housing, which increases supply, lowers cost and lowers rent,” Feely posted on X on Oct. 22.  His Democratic rival, Amish Shah, has blamed Trump policies for increasing rents. He also promised voters to address housing affordability.  “Over the last two years, we have seen how the Trump administration’s policies have hurt the people of Arizona,” he said on MSNow on Oct. 13. “Rents have gone up. Mortgages are high.” “People have noticed, and they’re not happy,” he said. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae9ccc5726b22deeb6a5427 Federal judge orders DOJ to ensure poll monitors are not law enforcement officials te 2026-11-03T12:00:05.062Z Federal judge orders DOJ to ensure poll monitors are not law enforcement officials A federal judge denied the NAACP’s request to block the Justice Department from sending election monitors to polling places, but ordered the department to ensure they are not sworn law enforcement officers and cannot make arrests. U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton, in an order Monday night, said the DOJ must also ensure its monitors are unarmed, out of uniform and do not display insignia identifying them as federal employees. The order applies to the department’s poll monitoring program for Election Day, Nov. 3. BIDEN-APPOINTED JUDGE BLOCKS VOTER-FRAUD PROBES IN BATTLEGROUND STATES JUST DAYS BEFORE MIDTERMS "The Court is therefore unpersuaded by the plaintiffs' assertion that a person who is simply 'project[ing a] command[ing] presence, scan[ning] crowds, and more" – without any outward indications of law enforcement authority – would generate objectively reasonable fear in a voter," according to Walton, who was nominated to the Washington, D.C., court by former President George W. Bush. "Thus, the Court finds that in conjunction with the defendants’ public statements regarding voter fraud and election integrity, the deployment of these individuals as election monitors would not place the average voter 'in reasonable fear of harassment and interference with their right to vote.'" The NAACP had sought a temporary restraining order barring the DOJ from deploying personnel from agencies including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bureau of Prisons. The group argued their presence could intimidate voters and violate the Voting Rights Act. Walton denied the motion without prejudice, finding that the current record did not show the NAACP was likely to succeed on its claim. He said the DOJ’s representations at a hearing addressed his concerns: the monitors would be administrative or clerical employees, not sworn officers, and would not carry firearms. TRUMP-APPOINTED JUDGE SLAMS DOOR ON DOJ AS COURT LOSSES PILE UP DAYS AHEAD OF MIDTERMS "The Court will order that the defendants comply with their counsel’s concession that they will take action to ensure that the monitors participating in the DOJ’s Poll Monitoring Program are indeed administrative or clerical personnel and not law enforcement officials, will not be in uniform or display any other insignia indicating their affiliation with a federal agency, will not be armed with a firearm, and will not have the power to effectuate arrests," Walton wrote. Walton also ordered monitors not to interfere with voters or election officials, to follow state and local rules, and to avoid speaking with voters inside polling places. They may speak with voters outside only after they have cast a ballot. Monitors must introduce themselves to election officials and carry federal credentials in case they are asked to verify their employment. Walton ordered the DOJ to file a status report by 7 a.m. ET on Tuesday explaining how it confirmed that none of the monitors would be law enforcement officials with arrest powers. The ruling followed allegations that the DOJ planned to send more than 1,000 personnel, including law enforcement agents and investigators, to polling locations. The department’s attorneys told the court that sworn agents and officers would be excluded from the program. Fox News’ Jake Gibson contributed to this report.

Now he is the biggest problem the Ravens are perhaps about to face since they arrived in Baltimore in 1996. Jackson, as everyone understands, must have surgery to repair the battered thumb on his right (throwing) hand that he injured Sunday against the Buffalo Bills — an injury coach Jesse Minter said would land the team's quarterback on injured reserve and "potentially" threaten his status for the remainder of this season. That, believe it or not, is the good news. RAVENS QUARTERBACK LAMAR JACKSON INJURED ONCE AGAIN AND OUT OF THE GAME AFTER ONLY ONE PLAY AGAINST THE BUFFFALO BILLS The bad news is what comes next because that includes the possible departure of a generational player who turned a solid Ravens franchise when he arrived into a playoff contender every game of every season he was healthy and played since 2018. So here we are: Jackson may have played his final game for the Ravens. His constant and often losing battle to stay healthy, against a backdrop of a difficult contract and salary cap situation in 2027, could force a divorce between the Ravens and Jackson next offseason. The Ravens will find themselves in a situation where they must decide to pay a 30-year-old, often-injured, very expensive Lamar Jackson because he's a difference-maker when healthy? ... Or do they try to trade him – with his permission because he has a no-trade clause – to a team of his choice that is willing to improve instantly? (Whispers Miami Dolphins, Jackson's hometown team). LAMAR JACKSON LEAVES GAME WITH INJURED ANKLE AND WHAT HAPPENED NEXT SHOWS NO ONE FEARS THE TENNESSEE TITANS The questions boggle because a two-time MVP is typically a piece of the puzzle for an NFL team and not the puzzle itself that requires a solution. This crazy situation is, at its root, going to be about money and business and not love or emotion. Simply: Jackson is carrying an $84.34 million salary cap charge next year on a team that is estimated to be $45.9 million over the estimated cap. That is not sustainable. And it wouldn't be a problem if Jackson were healthy this season, playing at his usual heights, and promising more of the same in the future. The Ravens would then negotiate an extension with Jackson that would lower his cap charge while rewarding him with a lot of new cash. Except that might not be the view the Ravens can logically share anymore. Their view post-injury that threatens to knock him out of the lineup for 16 of 34 games after this season, is not known. But the club might decide paying Jackson as if a season-crashing injury had not happened might not be the smartest approach. JONATHAN TAYLOR ADDRESSES TRADE RUMORS AMID COLTS' FIRE SALE: 'HOPEFULLY THAT DAY MAY NOT COME' The Ravens and Jackson have squared off on the contract front before. The 2023 offseason brought one dramatic moment after another before Jackson and the club agreed to a $230 million deal. Jackson absolutely expects an extension next offseason because he will not want to play the season on an expiring deal. That is not how business is typically done in the NFL and definitely not with a franchise-type of quarterback. And did I mention, Jackson expects to be the league's highest-paid player when he inks his next extension. All this might be too much for the Ravens who have seen this season that opened with Jackson and much promise sink into an abyss of uncertainty. Colts coach Shane Steichen on Monday answered a question he himself helped pose after Sunday's blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars by saying he needed evaluate everyone, including Daniel Jones. That was understood to mean Jones, a disappointment so far this season, could be benched. But, no. "Evaluating the tape, looking back at it, some things he could do better, some things that we need to help him with moving forward," Steichen said. "But I do feel that Daniel gives the best chance to win right now." Great. Stop right there. If the Colts, in garage sale mode after trading Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner, don't start calling around offering Jones in trade by the Nov. 10 trade deadline, they are totally missing the point of the remainder of their season. No one in Indy cares if Jones gives the a Colts team already out of significant contention a better chance to win next weekend. But the Minnesota Vikings might care that Jones might help them make the playoffs. Or even win a championship. The Colts should be on the phone to the Vikings offering to trade Jones to them and reunite the QB with the coaching staff that wanted to bring him back for 2025 after he spent the latter part of '24 in their facility. The Vikings need help. Kyler Murray is struggling with a sore hamstring, he's already had a concussion earlier this season, and he hasn't exactly lit any defenses on fire when healthy. It makes sense for the Vikings to invest, say, a fourth- or fifth-round pick to bring Jones aboard. And the Colts? Jones won't be on the Colts in 2028 or 2029, but that mid-round pick might be to give them a better chance to win then. The Arizona Cardinals made the obvious transition from Jacoby Brissett to Gardner Minshew as their starting quarterback on Monday after the man with the game's greatest O.K. Corral mustache threw three touchdowns passes to lead a comeback win over the Dallas Cowboys. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Coach Mike LaFleur not only benched Brissett but demoted him to the No. 3 emergency QB spot behind Minshew and rookie Carson Beck. That makes Brissett a luxury and someone the Cardinals should be making or taking phone calls about as a possible trade deadline target. It makes sense for the Cardinals to get something for Brissett and give him a chance to matter on a team where he might be more valued. He served his purpose in Arizona, it would be wise to turn the page. FOLLOW ARMANDO SALGUERO ON X: @ARMANDOSALGUERO Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae9ca6b726b22deeb6a505f Kordell Stewart opens up about the rumor that haunted his Steelers career for 28 years in new documentary te 2026-11-03T11:50:03.603Z Kordell Stewart opens up about the rumor that haunted his Steelers career for 28 years in new documentary It was 28 years ago when Kordell Stewart, the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, got a phone call from a friend who was curious to ask him a question following a stop at the barbershop. The friend told him people at the barbershop were saying he was arrested at Schenley Park in Pittsburgh on charges of participating in a lewd act with a trans woman. Within hours, he was being contacted by former teammates and others in cities like San Francisco, Atlanta and Indianapolis. It was a rumor – nothing more than that. Yet, Stewart, nicknamed "Slash" for his unique skill set that saw him play quarterback, receiver, running back and even punter, dealt with scrutiny and outside noise stemming from the rumor while trying to cement himself as the franchise signal caller. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE "Kordell Stewart: Slash & Burn" is a new HBO and NFL Films documentary, directed by Brian Rivera, which allowed Stewart to tell his story and how a rumor had a long-term impact on his career and life. "To have an opportunity to have a story out there to tell I think is what allured this relationship between myself, my team, with NFL Films and Brian Rivera being the director, to the collaboration with HBO and HBO Max. It’s surreal to say the least considering, with storytelling, there’s so many layers," he told OutKick during a recent interview. Stewart called the experience "unique and cathartic," and it included a trip to Schenley Park and its crudely named "Fruit Loop Circle," where the 1995 NFL Draft choice was said to have been participating in the lewd act when he was arrested. Again, Stewart was never arrested and has always denied the accusations. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! But while the rumor is something that always seems to come up when Stewart comes to the minds of Steelers fans and others, he wants his body of work on the field to be the main topic of conversation, which is the documentary’s theme. In fact, Stewart views himself as a trailblazer in the sport because the league, in his eyes, was not ready for someone with his skill set – a dual-threat quarterback that is now coveted by teams in the NFL. "You look at the game today. It was everything I did back then. Guys are being drafted No. 1 overall? Where’s my money, Scott? I need my back pay here, you know what I mean? Sarcastically speaking," Stewart said. "It’s appreciated and I think all the work that’s been put in – if I had to do it again, I’d do it again. All the work put in, it was well worth it." "It was a tremendous amount of fun," he added about his career. "Some sorry moments, but that’s a part of the game and a part of life. You can’t always stay down there at the bottom of the barrel knowing that the road traveled was one of trying to succeed. As [former Steelers] Coach [Bill] Cowher said, he’s won more games with me than any other quarterback over the course of his career. That’s something to be proud of." Stewart’s football career has many layers, as he alluded to earlier. As a standout at Colorado, he had tremendous arm talent, but also possessed the speed and agility to be a "Hall of Fame wide receiver," which he said the Steelers told him he could be. But playing quarterback is what he felt his calling was on the gridiron, and he stuck to that belief from the very start until the end. However, to get playing time after the Steelers drafted him in the second round, Stewart did what was needed. The nickname "Slash" followed after Cowher put him "Quarterback/Wide Receiver" on the roster. Stewart, though, wanted to eventually shake that thought out of the Steelers’ mind, as he continued to prove his worth as the team’s starting quarterback. 2026 SUPER BOWL ODDS: 49ERS FAVORED; RAVENS PLUMMET AMID LAMAR JACKSON INJURY In 1997, Stewart went 11-5 as a starter, eventually reaching the AFC Championship Game before falling short of the Super Bowl. Everything seemed to be going well, but with key coaching changes, especially offensive coordinator Chan Gailey leaving, Stewart was struggling to find consistency on the field. Compound that with the rumors circulating, and you would understand if Stewart started to spiral. Instead, he took all of it with grace. The word-of-mouth rumor was allegedly traced back to a Pittsburgh police officer, though Stewart doesn’t know who exactly it was to this day. He still can’t understand why someone, especially a Steelers fan, would do such a thing. "I mean, really? For real bro, that’s how low we went because of the disdained taste that many may have had in their mouths, their minds and their spirits of me being the face of that organization at the quarterback position," he said. "That makes me want to go back in time and do it again. Because you weren’t going to move me off my spot of what I believed in and knew what I could do. So, the what ifs don’t stick with me because I did my part. "If we’re standing on the only thing I couldn’t do was win a Super Bowl – look at Dan Marino. Look at Dan Fouts. Look at Warren Moon, who has a yellow jacket. If that’s the only problem that I have – people are going to pick other stuff. But holistically, if that’s the only issue I had, I was a great quarterback in that city and in the National Football League considering four of those five years. I had different coordinators and had to go through that stuff that you just talked about. Bro, come on. The normal person couldn’t handle that and still be consciously aware and articulating and comfortable and laughing and smiling and having a great time to where you’re prepared to want to tell the story 28 years to Nov. 1 this year that this story is finally being told." Today, 54-year-old Stewart continues to love the game of football, serving as the volunteer offensive coordinator for the South Forsyth War Eagles high school football team in Cumming, Georgia. And he also makes it quite clear he would like the Steelers to show some respect to his career outside of weathering the storm on and off the field. Stewart was the first player in NFL history to throw for 20-plus touchdowns (21) and rush for 10-plus touchdowns (11) in the same season. He also sits third all-time in passing yards in Steelers history, and his 2,561 rushing yards are the most by a quarterback in franchise history. "People want to segregate it and make it about what I didn’t do as a quarterback," he explained. "The body of work and the totality of the stuff I did in that city, you can’t throw that away. You can try to because you want to stick to what you want to stick to, and sometimes the traditional ways we want to believe what we want to believe. "But the reality is no one has ever done before, and will not ever have to play the game that way – full-time at receiver, become the best quarterback, and then it be talked about in a way we will have to learn how to because that impact on the game has changed the game so much. "It is what it is. God blessed the chance to work in that beautiful city, a very historical football team, a ton of history there. I’m proud of the run I had in that city. I hope those can become proud considering I handle myself at the highest levels and never turned my back on anything other than that foolishness that was talked about.

Kathy Hochul, who is seeking reelection. Hochul, who is facing a challenge from Republican Bruce Blakeman, has been silent on the recent attacks. One woman is currently on life support after police say an unknown suspect approached her while she was on a run and stabbed her in the throat. The NYPD told Fox News Digital that Katie Suarez, 28, was rushed to the hospital following the attack that happened Friday evening on Shore Parkway Greenway in Brooklyn. She "sustained multiple stab wounds," police said. BRUCE BLAKEMAN HAMMERS DEM GOV HOCHUL, MAMDANI OVER SUBWAY SAFETY DURING NYC CAMPAIGN RIDE Suarez is an avid runner having completed races with the New York Road Runners. "We were sad to hear of this horrible attack—our hearts are with her family and the running community," a spokesperson for the organization said. Suarez was not registered to run in this past weekend's New York City marathon. New York City Council Member Kayla Santosuosso represents southern Brooklyn. SMART STREET SENSORS COULD BE WATCHING YOUR CITY NEXT In a statement to Fox News Digital, she said, "I am horrified by the stabbing of Katie Suarez, and first and foremost my thoughts are with Katie and her loving family. I have been personally assured by Police Commissioner Tisch that the NYPD is pulling out all the stops in their efforts to catch the perpetrator. The promenade where this horrific crime took place has been poorly lit for years, since well before I took office. We will be working to ensure that upcoming renovations to the pedestrian bridge near the scene and the promenade itself will include sufficient lighting." She called the recent violence against women "deeply disturbing." MAMDANI UNVEILS SWEEPING NYPD USE-OF-FORCE REVIEW, BUT STOPS SHORT OF FULFILLING KEY CAMPAIGN PROMISES Santosuosso went on to say, "We deserve to be able to walk and jog in our neighborhoods without worrying for our safety. This is a serious and personal issue for me as a woman and as a mother and I will be doing everything in my power to keep southern Brooklyn a place where women can live without fear." 📩 Send me a story idea: kelsie.cairns@fox.com 📸 Instagram: kelsiecairns_tv 🎥 Facebook: Kelsie Cairns THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERA ON YOUR STREET CORNER: LAWFUL SPYING OR CONSTITUTIONALLY PROBLEMATIC? Retired NYPD inspector and Fox News contributor Paul Mauro said lighting, in addition to surveillance, needs to be the first step at preventing the repeated violence. "Lighting is great, but I would not only ask for that. I would ask for cameras and very ostentatious cameras." WOMAN BUSTED IN NYC RABBI SYRINGE ATTACK ALLEGEDLY STABBED ANOTHER JEWISH MAN HOURS EARLIER: REPORT He went on to say, "You want people to feel like they are observed." Mauro said Santosuosso's plan to increase "lighting" in the area "tacitly" follows Giuliani-era "broken windows" policing in New York City. That strategy involved targeting lower-level crimes and public offenses to prevent more serious crimes, an approach that was popularized under former mayor Rudy Giuliani during his time in office from 1994 to 2001. FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X In a separate case, police said a woman, 39, was raped at knifepoint in Central Park across the street from a stretch of multimillion-dollar apartments on Fifth Avenue on Oct. 24. GET BREAKING NEWS BY EMAIL LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST It was the fifth reported sex assault in the park this year. There have been no arrests in either recent case. This perceived silence on street-level interventions for everyday New Yorkers has drawn sharp criticism, especially when contrasted with the state’s aggressive response to higher-profile collegiate incidents. Last month, Hochul took unprecedented executive action regarding an alleged gang-rape at Cornell University, appointing Attorney General Letitia James as a special prosecutor and directing State Police to take over sexual assault complaints on the Ivy League campus. While Hochul publicly vowed not to let the Cornell case get "swept under the rug," critics argue that the same fierce executive urgency is nowhere to be found for New York City residents navigating daily life and public parks in the five boroughs. NYPD IDENTIFIES WOMAN KILLED IN TIMES SQUARE STABBING SPREE In response to the attack on Suarez, James said in a post on X on Monday: "This is outrageous and unacceptable. No New Yorker should have to fear such violence. I’m praying for a swift recovery for Katie, and keeping her family in my thoughts. I urge anyone with information to contact @NYPDTips." A spokesperson for Mayor Zohran Mamdani's office said: "The recent attacks on women across our city are horrific. Every New Yorker should be able to walk anywhere in our city at any time of day or night without fear of violence. The Mamdani administration is committed to ensuring that survivors are heard and supported — and that those responsible are held accountable. We will continue working with survivors, service providers and community partners to strengthen prevention, close gaps in services and confront gender-based violence."

SEND US A TIP While city leaders have kept quiet on the possibility of increasing patrols following the recent attacks, Mauro warned that any young woman who either lives in the city currently or is planning a move there should educate herrself on the real dangers that are happening in the city. GOT A TIP? "Young women, you better understand what you're getting into because you are joining a city whose leadership does not prioritize your safety.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae9c10a726b22deeb6a4e9a DOJ faces ‘heavy lift’ in Alaska election appeal as separate criminal probe continues te 2026-11-03T11:10:02.687Z DOJ faces ‘heavy lift’ in Alaska election appeal as separate criminal probe continues The Justice Department faces an uphill legal battle in its bid to overturn a federal judge's dismissal of its Alaska Senate election lawsuit, according to legal experts who questioned whether the government can secure meaningful relief before voting ends Tuesday — even as a separate criminal investigation continues. DOJ filed a notice of appeal after Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Sharon Gleason dismissed its lawsuit Sunday over the presence of two candidates named Dan Sullivan on Alaska's Senate ballot. The judge ruled that federal officials lacked standing because they had not demonstrated how its proposed remedy could address potential voter confusion without compromising ballot secrecy. With voting ending Tuesday, attorneys told Fox News Digital that even a successful appeal could leave the government scrambling to obtain an injunction or return to district court, while a defeat would leave the civil case dismissed without necessarily affecting potential criminal charges arising from the alleged recruitment of the second Sullivan. DOJ SET TO APPEAL RULING IN ALASKA SENATE RACE DISPUTE OVER ‘DECOY DAN’ "The federal judge dismissed on a procedural issue — standing," election attorney Jason Torchinsky of Virginia-based firm Holtzman Vogel told Fox News Digital. "So if the government were to prevail, it would either have to seek injunctive relief from the appeals court in the first instance; a very high bar, or go back down to the district court to seek relief." "Given the time available between now and close of polls [Tuesday], this is a heavy lift for the government," Torchinsky added. A reversal would not automatically change Alaska's election results. DOJ would still need to obtain specific judicial relief, potentially requiring further proceedings in district court. Former federal prosecutor and ex-Pentagon official Cully Stimson similarly said that DOJ will have difficulty securing any immediate relief in its effort to pause the Sullivan-Peltola contest. While Gleason was appointed by Obama, Stimson suggested the ruling did not appear partisan and said uncertainty remains because voting had not yet concluded. "I'm not surprised that the judge did this. I don't think it would matter whether an Obama judge or any other judge appointed by any other president," Stimson told Fox News Digital. "Asking for injunctive relief way before anything even happens is a reach," he said, adding Alaska falls under the San Francisco-based Ninth Circuit, which will hear any appeal. But Stimson suggested DOJ may have a longer-term objective beyond winning an immediate injunction: establishing a legal record that could support further proceedings after the election, once the votes are counted. TRUMP PROSECUTIONS UNDER BIDEN SET PRECEDENT FOR DOJ’S ALASKA ‘DECOY DAN’ PROBE, EX-FEC CHAIR SAYS "They may be filing these suits to establish a record and force Alaska and others supporting the status quo to defend what's happening, knowing that there's some level of confusion and they have the legal wheels churning," he said. "So after the vote is [over], they've started the legal wheels rolling." Former Assistant U.S. Attorney for North Florida Zack Smith added that if the Ninth Circuit does not hear the case promptly, DOJ could seek emergency review from the U.S. Supreme Court. While the Alaska case is considered unprecedented, according to the experts, the idea of a Supreme Court expedition at election time is not. On Dec. 9, 2000, one day after the Florida Supreme Court ordered a manual recount of disputed ballots in the Bush v. Gore presidential election dispute involving "hanging chads," then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush’s legal team successfully sought emergency intervention. The court ultimately decided in Bush’s favor within a week. Since the disputed 2000 election, which featured "hanging chads" on hole-punched paper ballots and the Brooks Brothers Riot at the Miami-Dade elections office, DOJ has become well-accustomed to the expedited-review process, the experts said. FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS TRUMP DOJ'S THREATS AGAINST ELECTION WORKERS AHEAD OF 2026 MIDTERMS "DOJ is familiar with kind of working quickly, getting things to the Supreme Court, and so I wouldn't be completely surprised if you were to see something like that," Smith said. Bush v. Gore offers a procedural parallel because federal courts were asked to intervene in the administration of a state-run election. "Florida was conducting the election in the manner under Florida law, under this time, place and manners set out by Florida law even though it was a federal election," Stimson said. "They used a particular type of ballot, which had those so-called dangling chads, which were punch-holes that didn't come the whole way off, so the hole was left with a little tag, essentially like a skin tag, and eventually the Supreme Court of Florida ruled." "But because there were federal violations, eventually the Supreme Court weighed in and stopped it, And at no point in time had the vice president’s (Albert Gore) vote count ever surpassed that of the governor (Bush) and because it was a federal interest, the Supreme Court stepped in and stopped this counting at the state level." Alex Charns, an attorney who has argued in federal court, told Fox News Digital that the clock has run out and DOJ's goal of segregating ballots based on voter intent is no longer possible. "I've litigated against the USDOJ for over thirteen years in federal court. I've practiced law in Durham, NC for 43 years. The USDOJ filed a case without legal merit and its appeal is likely to fail," he said. "In addition, voting ends [Tuesday]. The relief they seek isn't possible - ballots already case can't be segregated. Also, one cannot tell why any voter voted in a particular way. The appeal is unlikely to be successful." SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER In a statement from the DOJ's "Rapid Response" office, a spokesperson said the court "dismissed the case on procedural grounds but did not dispute the argument of the United States that Daniel J. Sullivan (a/k/a Decoy Dan) entered the race as a frivolous candidate to confuse voters." "Alaskan voters deserve a fair election, not to be misled in an attempt to rig outcomes," DOJ-RR said, announcing their appeal. Stimson cautioned that the outcome of the civil litigation would have little bearing on the separate criminal investigation, which could uncover evidence supporting additional legal action even if DOJ's appeal fails. "As long as that criminal investigation is going on, you're not breathing easy," he said, adding that evidence uncovered by federal investigators could potentially provide grounds for a separate civil lawsuit. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae9b2fd726b22deeb6a49dc HUGH HEWITT: The ghosts of 2006 are stirring — but will they catch the GOP? te 2026-11-03T10:10:05.894Z HUGH HEWITT: The ghosts of 2006 are stirring — but will they catch the GOP? As the past is often prologue, much of the GOP is thinking today about the pounding the party took in 2006, the last time a Republican president led his party into the midterms for the second time. Older Republicans try not to let 1986 enter their heads. (The GOP lost eight Senate seats that year.)  A truth bolt about polling from the Washington Post on Friday gave some hope to the mainstream, especially in states that voted for President Trump in 2024. The Post revealed that its pollsters had made 85,000 calls and sent 50,000 text messages in Kansas seeking to measure support for Senator Roger Marshall, who is being challenged by Democrat Adam Hamilton. While 32% of Kansas Democrats answered the calls and the texts from pollsters, only 12% of the GOP voters did. The Post conceded that these numbers provide "good reason to suspect the poll overestimates Democratic candidates’ support." THE SILENT MAJORITY PROBLEM AND WHY CAMPAIGN POLLSTERS KEEP 'FIGHTING THE LAST WAR' ON ELECTIONS That concession about the reality of polling in 2026 should give every analyst pause before citing "the polls." There isn’t great public data on which either party can rely, but there is history. For the GOP, the year most analogous to 2026 is 2006, and that’s scary. (The electorate is so different from 1986 that if it rhymes at all, it’s a reach.) In 2006, Republicans under President George W. Bush took a "thumpin’" — W’s term for the beat down of the GOP that year — so it is rational to consider the results from 20 years ago as a clear and present danger signal for Republicans. There are, however, some significant differences between this year and 2006, when the GOP lost a net 6 Senate seats and 30 House seats. FOX NEWS POLL: COST-OF-LIVING CONCERNS WEIGH ON GOP IN MIDTERMS GDP in Q3 of 2006 was reported at just 1.6% in October of that year. (It was revised up to 2% later.) It is more than twice that this year, clocking in October at a very healthy 3.4%. Republicans can rightly point to an economy in rapid takeoff mode and voters feel that, especially the newly employed. Inflation in 2006 was at 2.1%, and it’s at 3.7% now. Gas was $2.25 a gallon then and $4.20 today. (National average in both cases.) Those numbers hurt the GOP candidates across the country. As do housing costs. In October 2006, the average U.S. interest rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was approximately 6.36%. It’s 7.25% today. Younger voters looking to buy their first home or "move-up" don’t know that the era of 3%-4% 30-mortgage rates was an aberration. They just know they missed that window. The rational voter knows the hike in the cost of gas and the inflation is because President Trump is taking on the fanatics atop the Islamic Republic of Iran, our country’s sworn enemy of 47 years.  Every president since Bill Clinton has warned the ayatollahs that force was on the table if it did not cease its nuclear program, which it has refused to do even after the one night of strikes that obliterated the program in 2025, the strike deemed "Operation Midnight Hammer." SCHOEN, COOPERMAN: A RED RETREAT FOR REPUBLICANS IS NOT THE SAME AS A BLUE WAVE IN 2026 But, the rogue regime didn’t get the message and immediately began rebuilding its shattered nuke program while continuing its support of terrorists around the region. Iran is responsible for the deaths of more than 1,000 Americans since the Islamic revolution of 1979, and is the greatest state sponsor of terror on the planet. If that regime can be cowed or collapsed, it will be President Trump’s greatest accomplishment. The biggest difference from 20 years ago, and one reason for Republicans to believe 2026 may not be a repeat of 2006? Twenty years ago, the U.S. had been at war for five years in Afghanistan and three in Iraq. October 2006 saw more than 100 U.S. military killed in Iraq and 10 in Afghanistan. Contemporary reporting described it as one of the deadliest months of the war. The U.S. and its warriors and its military families were paying a very high price in 2006 and it did not seem that we were winning. The U.S. is decisively winning in the present conflict in Iran though it has not yet decisively won the battle. Only partisans of the left deny the blockade is bringing Iran to its knees. 23 service members have paid the ultimate price since February. The cancer in the region for 47 years is being ripped out and the cost is high. Those are the statistical comparisons for two Republican presidents in their sixth year in office, though of course, President Trump’s terms are non-consecutive. The good news for the GOP in the comparison is that President Bush’s second term got off to a terrible start in 2005 with the controversy over Terri Schiavo, Hurricane Katrina and the failed effort to reform Social Security. President Trump’s first 22 months back saw the wide open border shuttered and kept sealed, a massive tax hike averted, additional tax cuts made for tips and overtime and long overdue hikes in defense spending. Crime is down as the Feds crack down and the war on police is over. DEI is DOA and Dems continue to pursue policies considered extreme by the mainstream, including transgender craziness in sports for kids and objections to voter ID. Then there is "candidate quality" then and now. Democratic Senate winners in 2006 included James Webb (USMC war hero), a young Sherrod Brown in a still blue Ohio and John Tester, who was authentically Montana. MORNING GLORY: THE DEMOCRATS HAVE A 'FANATIC FOUR' OF EXTREMIST SENATE CANDIDATES This year they are running DSA’s Troy Jackson in Maine, extremist Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and scandal-plagued Mary Peltola in Alaska. Not sure what to call James Talarico, but he’s a very different candidate than, say, Bob Casey Jr., who beat Rick Santorum in PA in 2006. (Sherrod Brown is 20 years older and trying a comeback from being fired by Ohio voters two years ago. Brown is looking and sounding like Joe Biden in 2022, and voters know it is a six-year term.) On the spending front: Total midterm spending was roughly $2.8 billion in 2006. The numbers are not in yet for this cycle, but the estimates are that approximately $4 billion will be spent and that the GOP has a significant advantage. President Bush made 16 campaign appearances in October 2006. President Trump hit 30 or more. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION GOPers should prep for another 2006, but should not be surprised if the results are not that bad. Senators Collins, Husted, Marshall and Sullivan have run great races. Challengers Mike Rogers in MI and Michele Tafoya in MN are five-star candidates running against 0 star Ds. Redistricting is the last wrinkle. A "big blue wave" could wash out the gains the redistricting push brought, but then again, voters are much more aware of political issues today than ever before.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae9b2fd726b22deeb6a49d3 SEAN PARNELL: The military needs more than recruiting ads — it needs to be seen te 2026-11-03T10:10:05.067Z SEAN PARNELL: The military needs more than recruiting ads — it needs to be seen Three years ago, Washington had written off a generation. Too soft, too unfit, too disconnected to serve. In 2023, the Army, Navy and Air Force all missed their recruiting goals. People in this town started asking out loud whether the all-volunteer force could survive. Some started talking about a draft. They were wrong about the kids. Under President Trump and Secretary Hegseth, every active-duty service made its recruiting mission in fiscal year 2026, and most of them did it months early. The Army signed 61,500 future soldiers with more than four months to spare. The Navy raised its goal by 10 percent and still hit it in July. It finished the year with 45,112 sailors, three years after coming up 7,450 short of its goal. The Air Force and Space Force had met their goals by April. The Marines said it was the best recruiting environment they'd seen in years, and they already have half of next year's class under contract. RENEWED PATRIOTISM AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES FUEL ARMY'S BIGGEST RECRUITING SURGE IN YEARS Since November 2024, the military has posted its best rate of recruiting mission achieved in more than 15 years. We did it while American troops were in combat in the Middle East. Across the active-duty force, we saw interest across all demographics, and women’s recruitment is up once again. That strength extended beyond active duty. The Navy Reserve finished at 113 percent of mission, Marine Corps Reserve at 108 percent, the Army National Guard at 102 percent, and the Army Reserve at 103 percent, its first time surpassing its goal in 10 years. The kids didn't change. The leadership did. President Trump and Secretary Hegseth told young Americans the truth. The military exists to fight and win. The work is hard. Earning your place in it is something to be proud of. It turns out a generation that had been told nothing was worth sacrificing for was hungry to hear that something is. I co-chair the Department of War Recruiting Task Force, and our job is to make sure this year’s success is a starting point, not a high-water mark. Records don't sustain themselves. If we want to keep setting them, I believe we have to do two things. Build propensity, the desire to serve, and create proximity, a military close enough to the American people that the desire turns into a decision. Propensity There's a photo that says this better than I can. A little boy, maybe five years old, stands ankle-deep in the surf in a swim shirt, holding up a small American flag. Two Army Apache helicopters are thundering low over the water in front of him. He's never going to forget that day. That's propensity. It comes from moments of awe. Apaches over the surf. Jets ripping over a stadium on a Friday night. A kid climbing into the hatch of a tank at the county fair. No ad campaign can do what those moments do. They make a kid want to be one of us. NAVY SAYS NO REPRIMANDS OR FIRINGS AFTER BLUE ANGELS’ LOW PASS OVER BEACHGOERS That's why this administration has approved more flyovers than any administration before it. The public does the rest. Every flyover is filmed and shared and passed around online, and that sharing costs the taxpayer nothing. We need to build on that with live demonstrations, special operations showcases, and Fleet Weeks that don't stop at the coast. There are river towns in the heartland that have never seen a Navy ship. They should. No one grows up wanting to be something they've never seen. Proximity I led an infantry platoon in Afghanistan with the 10th Mountain Division. Every grunt learns the same lesson fast: if you don't hold the ground, you lose it. You can clear a valley in an afternoon. Pull out, and someone else moves in. The only way to hold terrain is to be on it, every day. TRUMP PENTAGON LAUNCHES COMPETITION FOR AMERICA'S NEXT GREAT MILITARY BASE Recruiting is no different. The ground is every town in America, and for twenty years we've been pulling back from it. We consolidated onto fewer, bigger bases. We left the cities that used to see uniforms every day. Then we acted surprised when young people stopped thinking about serving. What we're left with is a force that's become a family business. We go back to military families again and again because they're the only Americans we still touch on a regular basis. Those families are the backbone of this country, and we owe them more than we can repay. But a force that only recruits from itself is burning through a reserve it can't replace. The Pentagon plans to add 44,000 service members next year. We won't find them unless we reach Americans who have never known anyone in uniform. Proximity is how we take that ground back. We want a recruiting presence in every town in America. Soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines in dress uniform at the county fair, the Friday night game and the Fourth of July parade, doing the work face to face. New recruits sworn in at halftime. Recruiters who are part of the community, not stuck in a strip-mall office. Guard units out where people can see them. You need both Neither one works alone. Propensity without proximity fades. That boy on the beach is going to need someone in uniform in his hometown when he turns 17. Proximity without propensity is just a recruiting table nobody stops at. Showing up again America's young people never stopped being willing to serve. We just stopped showing up. Under President Trump and Secretary Hegseth, America is back, and so is military service. Now we have to make sure we never stop, in the stadiums, on the beaches, at the fairs and in every town a base will never reach. Propensity makes them want to serve. Proximity puts us there when they're ready.

I have to admit that from the South Side of Chicago, I've been watching the state near me, Michigan, with a heavy heart. On Tuesday, voters there will decide whether or not to send Abdul El-Sayed to the United States Senate. He is a progressive who wants to implement Medicare for All, and he wants to abolish ICE. He has Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in his corner (Britannica). What interests me about him is that he is part of a broader push on the left that sees American principles as the problem. El-Sayed says that he is not a socialist. He calls himself a capitalist, and the Democratic Socialists of America have never endorsed him. But one has to wonder if keeping that distance is part of his campaign strategy. Between 2017 and 2020, he spoke at six DSA chapter events and even gave the keynote speech at a 2019 fundraiser. The socialist organizers have called him "a longtime friend of Detroit DSA" (Fox News). In addition to this, 50 DSA members flew in from New York to knock on doors for him before the primary (Washington Examiner). I'll let Michigan decide what the most apt political label is for him. I'M DR. ABDUL EL-SAYED. THIS IS WHY I WANT MICHIGAN'S VOTE FOR SENATE He has made a concerted effort to show Black voters in the Detroit area that he is with them. He lost the city in the August primary, and since then he has visited Black churches, stood with Black pastors and put out an agenda for Black communities with housing timelines, minority business loans and school repairs. In September, he told a room full of female faith leaders in Detroit, "When it comes to Black communities in Michigan, when it comes to Black communities in America, there are unpaid debts that have long since come due that we are unwilling to acknowledge, let alone pay down."  It is important to notice the language here. He's talking to us as if we are people who are owed, as if our future depends on somebody else paying up. He sees us as members of the oppressed class, and he's trying to chill with us on that level, just like the good old White liberal used to do. I'M MIKE ROGERS. THIS IS WHY I WANT MICHIGAN'S VOTE FOR SENATE I've listened to him long enough to know that I can't find any of the things that I'd want to hear him say. He says nothing about embracing America without apology. Being an American means not relying on excuses, being responsible and taking accountability. But he says none of this. For 60 years, the left has talked to Black Americans this way, and I've seen the profound damage that kind of talk does in the communities that I serve. I have said this elsewhere. This socialism that candidates like El-Sayed lean heavily into is not a good thing. After all, we Black Americans were the first in America to truly live under the kind of government dependency that socialists now want for everyone. Though they were sold politically as programs that would lift us out of our history of oppression, the Great Society, the housing projects and welfare rules that punished marriage and work all trapped us in a vicious culture of dependency. EL-SAYED SCORES SINGLE-DAY FUNDRAISING RECORD AFTER HALEY STEVENS ENDORSES RIVAL In 1963, 23.6% of Black children were born to unmarried mothers. By 2023, the number had increased to 69%. Fathers were leaving, a check took the place of the man in the house, and marriage, faith and work started to look optional. Many Black Americans fled this life by using the American principles of uplift, and too many others found themselves in what has become known as the permanent Black underclass. That's what I see every day. I created Project H.O.O.D. to undo all of this damage with job training and character building, and by telling young people the truth, which is that government dependency doesn't have to be their destiny. DEMOCRAT HALEY STEVENS ENDORSES GOP SENATE NOMINEE MIKE ROGERS The people who rallied around El-Sayed have told us what they want. The DSA's 2026 program, "Workers Deserve More," has made the call for abolishing the Senate and the Electoral College and replacing the president and Supreme Court "with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress." They literally want to take down the greatest form of government ever devised. They have also talked about the need to "draft a new constitution, and create a democratic socialist republic." In 2021, a DSA convention resolution said that the United States "has never been and will never be a force for liberation." Amy Wilhelm, who sits on the DSA's National Political Committee, said, "The role of socialists ... is really to facilitate the defeat of our own nation."  El-Sayed hasn't signed on to that program, and his own proposal is to end the filibuster. But these are the folks who walked his precincts, drumming up votes, and I'm pretty certain they'll want something for it. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION A big part of why El-Sayed has advanced so far is White guilt. For a lot of White progressives, voting for a man like El-Sayed is a way to prove they're on the right side of race. They feel good backing a candidate who talks about debts owed to Black communities. It validates their social justice bona fides, and Black Detroit is left with the dependency. You can see the decay everywhere, and nobody stops to ask if more of the same socialist policies are working. The point here is not true Black uplift, but the innocence of White people, and El-Sayed is playing to that. El-Sayed has also used White guilt to protect himself. He has faced recent allegations that his family may have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. In 2012, his half-sister wrote online about "an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early 70s while she was in college." When he was asked about it, he said his family has no ties to the group and called the post "hearsay evidence from a tweet."  Fact-checkers haven't found evidence that he himself has ties to the Brotherhood, and he has disavowed it. But when he went on "Meet the Press," he asked, "Why is this even a subject of debate?" When a voter at a town hall asked him to disavow the group, he said, "Sure, yeah, absolutely," and then went after the man: "You assume ... that because I am Muslim, that somehow I would have some allegiance to something that is not our Constitution."  No reporter wants to be called an Islamophobe, just as nobody wants to be called a racist. It is the same fear that White guilt runs on, and he counts on that fear to make the question go away. What all of this reveals is that there is nothing new about El-Sayed. Like the White liberal before him, he speaks to Black Americans as people who are owed, and he leans on the same socialist ideas that have already failed us. Every day I work to lift up members of my community with American principles, and those in Michigan who vote for Abdul El-Sayed are voting in the opposite direction.

The answer could reshape the state Capitol te 2026-11-03T09:30:02.845Z Will Arizona Republicans show up on Election Day? The answer could reshape the state Capitol (Illustration via Getty Images Plus) Republicans nominally outnumber Democrats in Arizona by 283,000 voters. But in a political environment where voters overwhelmingly think President Donald Trump is doing a terrible job and poll after poll shows they plan to take out their frustrations on GOP candidates up and down the ballot, that figure will matter far less when the polls close Tuesday night than who actually showed up to cast their votes. And if dampened enthusiasm among Republican voters means they stay home in large numbers, it could spell the end for GOP control of Arizona government.  “Republicans are counting on a stellar Election Day turnout,” said Paul Bentz, a Republican political strategist and pollster. “They need it to keep these races competitive.” GET THE MORNING HEADLINES. SUBSCRIBE While the most prominent boosters for Arizona Republican candidates on social media are boasting about an increase in early voting among GOP voters and say it’s a sign that the expected Democratic wave won’t materialize in 2026 — at least in the Grand Canyon State — Bentz said he’s skeptical. “They’re acting like the voters have returned to early (voting) and the cavalry is coming over the hill on Election Day,” he said. “But I don’t know if that’s what will happen.” Former Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Gina Swoboda is convinced that it won’t happen. What we’re seeing this year in early voting — as of Nov. 1, more than 1.6 million ballots had been cast, with Republicans nursing a miniscule 16,000-vote edge over Democrats — is the inverse of 2022, when Trump and gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake told GOP voters to abandon mail-in ballots in favor of showing up at a polling site on Election Day. Now, she said, Trump and Republicans are pleading with voters to return their early ballots, and many have listened. But that necessarily means that any surge of voters on Election Day will be smaller. “We have cannibalized Election Day voters,” Swoboda said. “That bullet is out of our gun.” Democratic campaign consultant Rodd McLeod said that the “insane Republican jihad against early voting” that Trump and others pushed in 2022 and, to a lesser extent, in 2024 seems to be subsiding, and the result is pools of consistent voters being shifted from one method of casting ballots to another — something that some are mistaking for a surge in voting that will increase the total. “If the people who are voting early this year are reliable voters, that is not necessarily an indicator that they’re doing well (on turnout),” he said. “They won’t have the Election Day turnout they expect.” Daniel Scarpinato, a Republican campaign strategist who oversaw the effort to defend the GOP’s majority in the Arizona Senate, said there are still a lot of votes on the table, and there are lots of “perfect voters” — those who have cast ballots in at least three of the last four elections — who will vote on Election Day. “And there’s a lot more of those on the Republican side of the aisle,” he said. “Those are really reliable voters.” But there is a very real enthusiasm gap, McLeod said, that is borne out in polling both in Arizona and across the nation: Republicans are unhappy with Trump’s second term and the political tides are favoring Democrats this election. The combination of that and candidates at the top of the ticket that are all-in on MAGA means some will cross party lines to vote for Democrats, while others will protest by opting out of voting altogether, he said. Republican voters skipping the election could prove disastrous for the GOP’s nearly uninterrupted 60-year control of the Arizona Legislature. There are signs that is exactly what’s happening. And because control of each legislative chamber hinges on just a handful of closely fought races where the winners are likely to be those candidates and parties who manage to get more of their voters to the polls, Democrats could have their best electoral showing ever in Arizona.   An internal Republican analysis of early ballots cast this year compared to 2022 shared with the Arizona Mirror by a veteran political operative found that the election-over-election increase in GOP early voters this year is almost entirely made up of voters who shifted from Election Day four years ago to mailing in a ballot this year. And that shift is masking more than 158,000 reliable early Republican voters who haven’t yet returned their ballots — and might not vote at all. That figure includes more than 34,000 who are the most committed GOP voters: people who had voted early in at least three of the last four primary elections, but who skipped this year’s primary. The analysis shows that the largest pools of the reliable early Republican voters who haven’t yet cast a ballot live in affluent, college-educated suburbs — and in many cases, in the competitive legislative district races that will determine whether Republicans retain their decades-long grip on power at the state Capitol. Swoboda, the former AZGOP chairwoman, said she shares the frustration those voters have. “I don’t think they’re coming back, because they feel betrayed and knifed. And it’s not just this year — they’ll never vote again,” she said. “I feel that way. If I wasn’t an accidental political operative, I wouldn’t have voted this year.” Tony Cani, a Democratic campaign consultant, said the GOP candidates at the top of the ticket — Andy Biggs in the governor’s race, secretary of state nominee Alexander Kolodin and attorney general hopeful Warren Petersen — know the turnout figures are trending badly for Republicans. That’s why, he said, they’ve spent the final days of the campaign focused on getting GOP voters to the polls instead of making a “real closing argument” to Arizona voters.  “They ran a campaign thinking the voter registration advantage would be enough,” he said.  “But the cancer of Trump in the Republican Party isn’t skipping people,” Cani added, explaining that the president’s unpopularity is an albatross around the necks of GOP candidates in every race. And even if some of those holdout Republican early voters do come home on Election Day and head to the polls, either to vote or drop off their early ballot, there’s no guarantee they’ll back the GOP candidates, said DJ Quinlan, a Democratic strategist and former executive director of the Arizona Democratic Party. “The floor has shifted so much that it may not matter,” he said, noting that sky high gas prices because of Trump’s war in Iran and continued inflation have turned many right-of-center independent voters and “normal Republicans” against the GOP in this election.  “The real question is how many Republican legislators get wiped out,” Quinlan said, adding that he thinks Democrats will win at least one legislative chamber. Swoboda said if that happens, it will be a case of Republican legislators reaping what they’ve sown by electing ideologues more interested in power than in governing.  “They’re unlikable people acting in an unlikeable manner,” she said, speaking of the conservative bloc that wields the most power at the legislature. “The Arizona Freedom Caucus is … vindictive people who just want power over their enemies.” If tens of thousands of otherwise reliable GOP voters stay home, it could be cataclysmic for Republicans in Arizona, said Bentz, the pollster. The worst case scenario, he said, would be akin to the mirror image of the 2010 election, when the Tea Party wave led Republicans to supermajority control of both legislative chambers: Democrats would win all of the statewide offices and both the Arizona Senate and House of Representatives. That’s what Swoboda believes will happen when the dust settles on the 2026 election. “It’s a perfect storm. I think we’re going to get destroyed. It’ll be a blue trifecta,” she said.

Here's what's at stake on Election Day te 2026-11-03T09:10:01.719Z The battle for Congress is just the beginning. Here's what's at stake on Election Day It's Election Day in America, with voters heading to the polls to determine control of the U.S. House and Senate for the next two years. Republicans are defending their slim congressional majorities, but President Donald Trump predicts the GOP will hold the House and Senate for the final two years of his presidency. "We're going to win and let's make the next two years bigger and better and stronger than ever before," Trump told supporters Sunday night at a rally in Kansas. But Republicans are fighting political history, as the party in power in Washington has traditionally lost seats during midterm election years. The GOP also faces a challenging political climate fueled by persistent inflation tied in part to what polls show is an unpopular war with Iran and Trump's increasingly negative approval ratings. DEMOCRACY 2026: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB The GOP is also facing a potential turnout deficit, with public opinion polls indicating Democrats are more energized than Republicans to cast ballots in the midterms. Early voting in the midterms has shattered previous records, with more than 54 million people already casting ballots, according to the Associated Press. That's nearly nine million more ballots cast in early voting than in 2022, the previous midterm elections. With early voting traditionally favoring Democrats, Republican National Committee Chair Joe Gruters, pointing to Election Day turnout, recently told Fox News Digital, "If our voters turn out, we win." SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER The political climate has the GOP playing plenty of defense on the campaign trail, as the president tries to energize the GOP base. Trump's event in red-leaning Kansas, which he touted as his 30th rally over the past month, came hours after the Fox News Power Rankings shifted the state's Senate race from Lean Republican to Toss-up. Democratic pastor Adam Hamilton, who is challenging GOP Sen. Roger Marshall, is aiming to become the first Democrat in nearly a century to win a Senate election in Kansas. The Fox News Power Rankings, as well as many of the leading nonpartisan political handicappers, point to Democrats retaking control of the House, with the majority in the Senate a toss-up heading into Election Day. "Think of what is possible tomorrow: Democrats can flip the House, take back the Senate, and stop Trump’s harmful agenda," Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin spotlighted, in an Election Eve social media post. Also up for grabs in this year's elections — governorships in 36 of the 50 states. Plus, all but four states are holding legislative elections. And voters will also weigh in on 145 statewide ballot measures in states from coast to coast. The big question with Election Day upon us — have the public opinion polls that point to a potential blue wave undercounted Republican voters? LEAVITT SAYS TRUMP DEFYING MIDTERM HEADWINDS AS HE BARNSTORMS COUNTRY We'll find out in the coming hours. Until then, here's a closer look at what's up for grabs on Election Day 2026. Republicans currently control the chamber 53-47, which means Democrats need a net gain of four seats to win back the majority. The GOP needs to hold at least 50 seats to retain control of the chamber, since Republican Vice President JD Vance is the tie-breaking vote in the Senate. Besides Kansas, Republicans are also playing defense in Alaska, Iowa, Maine, Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina and Texas, which are all rated toss-ups in the Power Rankings. They're also defending seats in competitive races in Kansas, which is rated Lean Republican, and Ohio, which is rated Lean Democrat. Democrats are on defense in Michigan, Minnesota and New Hampshire. The GOP is hanging on to a razor-thin majority in the House, with Democrats needing a net gain of just three seats to reach 218, which would hand them the majority. A good night for the Democrats could see them ending up with as many as 240 seats in the 435-seat chamber, according to the Power Rankings. But if Republicans have a good night, they could end up with 212 seats. That’s six short of a majority, but enough to make life difficult for the next Democratic House speaker, who would have to balance the demands of the moderate and far-left wings of the party. The earliest-closing districts on election night will give some sense of the House’s future. "Keep an eye on Kentucky’s 6th District, which covers Lexington and a large central area of the state. Trump won here by 15 points in the last presidential election. Thanks to a combination of left-leaning college voters and farmers grappling with higher costs, it looks close this cycle," Remy Numa, a Fox News contributor who steers the network's Power Rankings, said. There are currently 26 Republican and 24 Democratic governors. The Power Rankings list three states where the GOP controls the governor's office – Alaska, Nevada and Georgia – as toss-ups. Wisconsin, which has an open Democratic-controlled governor's office, is also rated a toss-up. The gubernatorial races in red states Florida, Kansas and Texas are rated Lean Republican, according to the Power Rankings. Meanwhile, the showdowns in Arizona, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio and Oregon are rated Lean Democrat. Referendums requiring voters to present identification when they show up at the polls, or bans on noncitizen voting, are on the ballot in 11 states: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Kansas, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota and West Virginia. Voters in Alaska will also decide if they want to repeal the state’s ranked choice voting system, open primaries and a campaign finance disclosure rule. Voters approved the current system in 2020 and narrowly kept it in 2024. But the voting system has come under fresh scrutiny amid the controversy over a potential spoiler candidate in Alaska's U.S. Senate race. Voters in Virginia will decide whether the right to vote should be restored to convicted felons upon their release. California's Proposition 40 is making national headlines. The measure, the first of its kind, would slap a one-time 5% tax on wealth for Californians worth over $1 billion, with the vast majority of the revenue generated going to pay for healthcare. Also in the spotlight is a millionaires' tax in Washington state. If passed, the referendum would repeal a 9.9% tax on income over $1 million a year, which state lawmakers recently approved. Washington state currently does not have a personal income tax. Voters in Maryland, Missouri and Colorado weigh in on ballot measures on congressional redistricting, as the mid-decade redistricting fight between Democrats and Republicans will be waged again in 2028. Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska and Washington state have referendums on transgender students’ participation in sports. Colorado also has a referendum on blocking gender transition surgeries for minors and preventing state or federal funding from being used for those operations. Voters in Missouri weigh in on repealing a right to abortion and banning gender transition medical care for children. Meanwhile, an Idaho initiative would overturn one of the nation's strictest abortion bans, while Virginia and Nevada voters decide on establishing a right to abortion in their state constitutions. California, Colorado and Arizona hold ballot measures on policy around energy, transportation and development.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae99483726b22deeb6a4150 Ex-Chicago FBI chief sues DOJ, claims he was ousted over failed anti-ICE prosecutions te 2026-11-03T08:00:03.007Z Ex-Chicago FBI chief sues DOJ, claims he was ousted over failed anti-ICE prosecutions The former chief of the FBI's Chicago field office said he was forced out of his job after he says he was wrongly blamed for the failed prosecution of six people who protested against the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in the Windy City, according to a lawsuit he filed on Monday. Douglas DePodesta sued top Justice Department officials, alleging that federal prosecutors pushed "politically motivated prosecutions" against Chicago demonstrators before gathering evidence, according to the lawsuit. He said his superiors notified him that FBI Director Kash Patel pushed for his ouster before he was forced to resign over the summer. "I saw the writing on the wall," DePodesta told The Associated Press. DePodesta accused the top federal prosecutor in Illinois, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois Andrew Boutros, of launching a "campaign" within the DOJ to blame him after the so-called "Broadview Six" case fell apart earlier this year. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS LOST OR ABANDONED HUNDREDS OF LAWSUITS AGAINST ANTI-ICE PROTESTERS, MIGRANTS: REPORT Hours after the lawsuit was filed, U.S. District Judge April Perry ordered Boutros and three of his assistant attorneys to testify under oath on Nov. 16 in the failed "Broadview Six" case. "There is more than an adequate factual basis for the Court to pursue an inquiry as to whether willful false statements were made to the court," Perry wrote in the order. Federal prosecutors brought charges against roughly 30 protesters during the federal immigration enforcement operation in Chicago, dubbed Operation Midway Blitz, but many of those charges have since been dropped or dismissed. DePodesta’s lawsuit alleges that Boutros faced pressure from the DOJ throughout the immigration crackdown to slap protesters with felony charges. "Boutros sent DePodesta emails demanding that DePodesta open FBI investigations into individuals with political views or affiliations in opposition to the Trump administration," DePodesta’s attorneys wrote in the complaint. Boutros often pressured assistant U.S. attorneys to press charges "before investigating the objective evidence," according to the lawsuit, which says he wanted felony charges when assistant U.S. attorneys "favored misdemeanors or no charges at all." Last October, Boutros charged six people with conspiring to obstruct a federal officer, a felony, in connection with their actions during a protest at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in the Chicago suburb of Broadview. Grand jury transcripts later turned over to the court showed that grand jurors twice declined to indict the six people as prosecutors sought charges, according to The Associated Press. Boutros dropped all charges against the six people in May as the court moved to investigate possible prosecutorial misconduct. Boutros "repeatedly complained to his superiors in Washington" that the failure was DePodesta's fault "to deflect attention from his own malfeasance," DePodesta's attorneys wrote in the lawsuit. DePodesta denied Boutros’ claims to his superiors at the FBI, and they conceded that he was only being forced out of his job due to the "political pressure Boutros created," according to the suit. The complaint alleges Boutros told DOJ leadership that DePodesta and his sister-in-law, Nancy DePodesta, who is an attorney representing one of the six former defendants, "conspired to destroy" the case. PRITZKER CALLS FOR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS INTO ICE AGENTS OVER ‘MIDWAY BLITZ’ CONDUCT "There is no one at the FBI who took their oath of office and their ethical and moral responsibilities more seriously than Doug," Nancy DePodesta said in a statement to The Associated Press, adding that it is "both heartbreaking and shameful that he was forced out of his position based on what appear to be utterly false rumors spread by" Boutros. In September, one of the prosecutors on the "Broadview Six" case abruptly resigned, writing in a resignation letter that Boutros had "scapegoated and publicly vilified" her. She filed a motion asking the court to treat her as an independent party moving forward. The former defendants have asked the judge to appoint a special counsel to probe possible misconduct by prosecutors. At an Oct. 1 hearing, Perry ordered further "fact-finding" about communications between Boutros’ office and DOJ leadership. Boutros has previously denied that politics played a role in charging decisions. Fox News Digital reached out to the DOJ for comment. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Blackman expressed particular concern for the rural and tribal communities where existing aid and resources are already scarcer than in other parts of the state.  “Families facing rising water need immediate help, clear information, and a reliable path to recovery,” said Blackman. “Rural and tribal communities cannot be overlooked. A washed-out road can cut a family off from medical care, groceries, and emergency services. We need direct coordination with people on the ground to identify unmet needs and get help where it belongs.” State Rep. Alexander Kolodin (R-LD-3) asked Hobbs to call a state of emergency due to the potential for Arizonans to be stranded with no way to vote. 🚨 Emergency Declaration Needed in Maricopa County To Protect Election Day Access for Flood Impacted Rio Verde Foothills Voters Washed out roads in Rio Verde Foothills could keep voters from the polls tomorrow.

The challenge was brought by Tucson restaurateur Grant Krueger and Union Hospitality Group, represented by the Goldwater Institute and Pacific Legal Foundation. The rule, adopted in 2022, required, with limited exceptions, that egg-laying hens in Arizona be housed in cage-free environments and that eggs sold in the state come from hens housed under those conditions.

The Agriculture Department relied on A.R.S. § 3-710(J), which requires its director to “adopt rules for poultry husbandry and the production of eggs sold in this state.” Blaney found that general authority insufficient to authorize the cage-free requirements. “[T]he language of the statute must not only be broad enough to authorize or permit the mandates/standards that the agency seeks to impose through its rule, that authorization must also be specific enough to suggest that the Legislature contemplated or anticipated the mandates or standards in the proposed rule,” Blaney wrote. The judge found that the department’s interpretation would effectively remove the word “specifically” from the statutory restriction on agency rulemaking. “Nothing in the broad language of the statute suggests that the Legislature intended to specifically authorize Defendant to institute an entirely new ban on the sale of all eggs that were not produced in a ‘cage free’ environment, with only a limited exemption for small producers,” the ruling stated. The plaintiffs also challenged the constitutionality of the Legislature’s delegation of authority to the department. Blaney expressly declined to decide that argument because the statutory issue resolved the dispute. He likewise found it unnecessary to decide whether the rule was reasonably necessary. The court’s findings addressed the regulation’s anticipated financial effects on consumers and restaurants. Holding other factors constant, Blaney found that cage-free requirements increase egg prices for consumers and retailers. The ruling cited the department’s own rulemaking estimates, including a projected long-run wholesale increase of 39 cents per dozen and estimated annual consumer costs of $2.71 to $8.79 per person. Those figures were projections associated with the rule, rather than findings of actual statewide losses. The department had concluded during rulemaking that anticipated public and animal welfare benefits outweighed the potential economic costs. Union Hospitality Group purchased 104,040 eggs between November 2022 and October 2023, the ruling stated. The court found that the mandate would restrict the restaurant group’s purchasing options and would very likely increase its costs for eggs and egg products. Blaney also found that Krueger would face restricted purchasing choices and higher prices as an individual consumer. Those anticipated effects supported the plaintiffs’ standing to challenge the regulation. Implementation had already been delayed. According to the ruling, the department suspended full implementation until 2027 amid bird flu, egg shortages, and rising prices. In March 2025, Gov. Katie Hobbs directed a further delay until 2034. The court cited the department’s expectation that postponement would allow additional producers to supply Arizona and help reduce prices through increased availability. Goldwater Institute Vice President for Legal Affairs Timothy Sandefur credited HB 2599, the 2021 legislation that established the specific-authorization requirement, as central to the challenge. “Today’s ruling is not only a win for businesses and consumers in Arizona, but a superb example of how the administrative state—perhaps the single largest threat to constitutional democracy in this country—can be reined in,” Sandefur wrote. “Bureaucratic agencies too often exercise the legislative, executive, and judicial powers together, in violation of one of our most important constitutional principles, in order to write rules that have the force of the law—even though the employees of these agencies have never been elected by the people.” Sandefur broadened his argument, adding, “And it’s not just questions about food production—which are important enough. Virtually every aspect of our lives today is touched in some manner by the power of the administrative state. That threatens to turn our free society into what we call the Permission Society—in which the individual has no rights, but only permissions, and must ask the government ‘mother may I?’ for every act in his or her life.” Blaney directed the plaintiffs to submit a proposed judgment by November 20, along with any application for attorney’s fees and taxable costs. Defendants will have 20 days afterward to submit objections or responses. The ruling did not award a specific amount in fees or costs. Matthew Holloway is a senior reporter for AZ Free News.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae98b27726b22deeb6a3934 Scottsdale Reopens Renovated Monterra Event Venue At WestWorld te 2026-11-03T07:20:07.279Z Scottsdale Reopens Renovated Monterra Event Venue At WestWorld By Ethan Faverino | The City of Scottsdale celebrated the reopening of Monterra at WestWorld following extensive renovations that transformed the longtime event venue into a fully climate-controlled facility capable of hosting weddings, corporate gatherings, and community events year-round. City officials and WestWorld partners marked the reopening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house on October 23, highlighting the improvements and the city’s expanded role in managing the facility. Originally opened in 1990, Monterra operated under a private agreement for more than three decades before the Scottsdale City Council approved transferring operating rights to the city in November 2024. The venue is now managed directly by the city as part of WestWorld of Scottsdale, providing additional opportunities to host private celebrations, banquets, and receptions associated with the facility’s signature events. “Bringing Monterra back into city operation gives us an opportunity to make better use of a community asset,” said City Manager Greg Caton. “These improvements expand what WestWorld can offer throughout the year, whether we’re hosting a local celebration or welcoming visitors for one of Scottsdale’s signature events.” The renovations included the installation of a new heating and cooling system, a new roof, updated indoor and outdoor flooring, and fresh interior and exterior paint. The city also upgraded the facility’s restrooms to improve accessibility for individuals with disabilities. Located at the western end of WestWorld, Monterra features a ballroom with a full bar, three outdoor function spaces, and patios overlooking the facility’s 20-acre polo field and the McDowell Mountains. The venue offers approximately 5,580 square feet of space, with a reception capacity of 800 guests, theater-style seating for 500, and banquet seating for 450. WestWorld’s food and beverage partner, M Culinary Concepts, will provide exclusive catering and bar services for events hosted at the facility. According to city officials, the improvements are intended to expand Monterra’s availability throughout the year, particularly during Arizona’s warmer months, while accommodating events ranging from, business meetings and conventions to weddings and private celebrations. “Monterra pairs views of the McDowell Mountains with the convenience of being right here at WestWorld,” said WestWorld Director Cassie Johnson. “With the new climate-control system and updated spaces, we can welcome guests year-round and help event organizers bring everything from a wedding reception to a large banquet together in one location.” In September, the Scottsdale City Council approved a one-year pilot program establishing daily rental rates of $3,000 Thursday through Sunday and $750 Monday through Wednesday. The rates were developed following a market study of comparable event venues. Ethan Faverino is a reporter for AZ Free News. You can send him news tips using this link.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae97d11726b22deeb6a3581 Mamdani threatens to sue Trump admin over ICE's use of city-owned lots for immigration enforcement te 2026-11-03T06:20:01.786Z Mamdani threatens to sue Trump admin over ICE's use of city-owned lots for immigration enforcement New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a Democrat, threatened to sue the Trump administration over Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) reported use of city-owned parking lots to stage immigration enforcement operations without the city's authorization. In a letter addressed to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, acting ICE Director David Venturella and ICE New York field office Director Kenneth Genalo, Mamdani said he is "deeply troubled" by reports of ICE agents "using property owned by the City of New York to stage enforcement operations," which the mayor said is unauthorized and illegal. "This use of City property in furtherance of federal immigration enforcement is unauthorized and is therefore illegal, endangers City residents, and sows fear among those who seek to access City property," Mamdani wrote in the letter. "If your agents continue any unauthorized use of these lots, New York City will take legal action to prevent this unlawful commandeering of City property." DEMOCRAT MAYOR BLASTED BY DHS FOR 'HUNTING DOWN' PROPERTY OWNERS LEASING TO ICE: 'UNHINGED' According to the mayor's letter, ICE agents have reportedly parked their vehicles and conducted meetings in several city-owned, unstaffed parking lots, including in a parking lot at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx as well as in parking lots along 111th Street on the west side of Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, which is located next to a city-run preschool and several cultural institutions welcome hundreds of children and families every day. "ICE has not secured any authorization from the City to use these lots for immigration enforcement. To be clear: the City does not authorize ICE using its property in this manner," Mamdani wrote. "Parking lots connected to City parks are reserved for the safe use and enjoyment of New Yorkers and visitors who wish to use our parks," he continued. "Use of these lots for other purposes, including ICE’s reported use of these lots, amounts to unauthorized activity on City property. Accordingly, you must immediately issue guidance to your agents prohibiting them from using any City lots to stage or conduct enforcement operations." Mamdani added that New York City "deeply values its immigrant communities and will continue to use all available lawful means to ensure their safety, well-being, and ability to navigate the City and its resources without fear." MAMDANI CALLS ICE A 'ROGUE' AGENCY AFTER NYC SHOOTING, CLAIMS AGENTS VIEW LAW AS 'MERELY A SUGGESTION' Fox News Digital has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment. Last month, Mamdani and other New York Democratic leaders pushed for the city’s private parking lot owners to ban ICE from their properties. "In solidarity with immigrant New Yorkers and in our shared commitment to the City we love, we ask that you do not rent, lend or otherwise make your property available to ICE as a staging area for its enforcement operations," the mayor wrote in a letter to property owners and operators. MAMDANI SAYS EVEN IF HE CAN GET ALONG WITH TRUMP, HE STILL DEMANDS THAT 'ICE SHOULD BE ABOLISHED' Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., were among more than 100 elected officials who signed on to Mamdani's October letter. Mamdani has previously pushed for ICE to be abolished, including after an ICE agent shot and killed Mexican national Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston in July and after another ICE agent shot and wounded Dominican national Oscar Belgal during an enforcement operation in New York City last month.

Lumen Field and the "12s" never make it easy for a road team to play against the Seattle Seahawks, and it doesn’t help that this group just gave the Kansas City Chiefs its first loss of the season in Week 7. But the Bears, led by head coach Ben Johnson and quarterback Caleb Williams, don’t seem to care where their games are held each week. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Their offense, and a defense that saw All-Pro Jeffery Simmons show out in his first game with the club since he was traded, made problems for the reigning Super Bowl champions in a 34-17 victory to improve to 6-2 on the season. The Minnesota Vikings are still in first place in the division at 6-1, but there are a lot of questions about their offensive struggles compared to a suffocating defense that has kept them on the right side of close games thus far. The Detroit Lions gave the Vikings their first loss to move to 5-2, while the Green Bay Packers got the job done against the Carolina Panthers on "Thursday Night Football" to get to 5-3. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! It’s loaded from top to bottom, but the Bears appear to be the most complete team out of this pack. Just look at what Williams and company accomplished against the league’s best defense in terms of yards allowed per game (233.9). The Bears totaled 363 yards, 237 of which were through the air on big chunk plays including a 23-yarder to Luther Burden III, who caught Williams’ only touchdown pass of the contest, and a 24-yard strike to Rome Odunze, who led the team with 87 yards on four receptions. Williams became the first quarterback to eclipse 200 passing yards against this vaunted defense. Then, there’s the ground game, Johnson’s bread and butter as he continues to draw up the right concepts with a disciplined offensive line that executes who D’Andre Swift can plow his way into the end zone three times in the game. But the Bears’ defense are no slouches either, coming into the game ninth in yards allowed and points allowed. With Simmons on board, Chicago was proving there are all-in for this championship window, and the veteran defensive tackle was present throughout his first-ever Bears game. He finished tied for the team lead in combined tackles (6), while collecting a sack and two tackles for loss. James Lynch also forced a key interception when it was 27-17 with six minutes to play, leading to Swift’s third touchdown of the game. Meanwhile, Sam Darnold and the Seahawks have shown spurts of that Super Bowl-level play that got them the Vince Lombardi Trophy last season. However, it hasn’t been as consistent as they would like. They made a trade themselves before the Bears landed Simmons, acquiring left guard Quenton Nelson from the Indianapolis Colts to beef up their offensive line, help the run game and keep Darnold upright. And with rookie Jadarian Price back from injury, and Zach Charbonnet making his season debut after recovering from an injury last season, the run game was supposed to be better heading into Week 8. The Seahawks had just 81 yards rushing, and if it weren’t for another 100-yard-plus game for receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who scored just before the first half ended, this game may have gotten out of hand. The Seahawks are still in the hunt with a lot of season left to play, but the Bears made a clear statement in a hostile Seattle environment on Monday night.

"We're not fighting a war … When was the last time we fired anything? This isn't a war, this is a very soft war," Trump said Monday on "Hannity." Iran could be a key deciding issue as voters go to the polls on Election Day Tuesday as Americans continue to grapple with surging gas prices and the economic fallout from the United States’ conflict, which began eight months ago. AMERICANS 'FRUSTRATED' ABOUT IRAN WAR GOING INTO MIDTERMS AS TRUMP ADMIN HAS DECISION TO MAKE: GOP LAWMAKER "What’s a war? A war is fighting. Take a look at World War I, World War II. When was the last time you saw us fighting with them? We go months and months, we talk," Trump told host Sean Hannity. "This is not much of a war, Sean, because there hasn't been shooting for months." TRUMP ADMIN THREATENS IRAN WITH 'CONSEQUENCES' AS ALLIES CONVENE AMID THREATS OF POST-ELECTION ESCALATION Trump’s comments come shortly after the United States struck Iran’s Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz Monday after Iran fired at a U.S. aircraft. Officials confirmed to Fox News that the "defensive" strike does not indicate a return to full-blown U.S. military strikes in Iran. The president said Monday that he was in no hurry to resume military strikes against Iran but warned that the U.S. will give Iran "the hammer" soon if the latest round of peace talks are not fruitful. TRUMP WARNS IRAN WILL BE HIT 'REALLY HARD' IF NUCLEAR NEGOTIATIONS COLLAPSE AGAIN "With [Operation] Midnight Hammer, we bombed out all of their potential nuclear power. Now we have might have to go after Pickaxe [Mountain], but that's not a big deal. We can do it in literally one hour," Trump told Fox News. "This isn't like a war that's going on, there’s no war raging," he added. "It could happen if they don't make a deal. But they want to make a deal very badly, and there is a very good chance we make a deal." FOX NEWS POLL: 71% THINK TRUMP ADMINISTRATION LACKS PLAN TO END IRAN WAR The financial toll of the Iran conflict has emerged as a political liability for Republicans ahead of Election Day as the Pentagon estimates the war has cost taxpayers more than $47 billion. President Trump, however, dismissed criticism of the staggering price tag, describing the expense as "peanuts" and saying that the war was necessary to disarm Iran from building a nuclear weapon. TRUMP SAYS IRAN IS ‘DEAD’ — EXPERTS POINT TO THE REAL SIGN TEHRAN IS NEARING THE BRINK "Their military is gone, their navy is gone, their air force is gone, their anti-aircraft is gone, and they have some missiles, but they don't have many of them – very little capacity to build more. They have drones, but they don't have very many, they have very little capacity to build more," he said. "What we’ve done is amazing," the president continued. Trump said the U.S. is dealing from a position of "total strength" and that the conflict can be ended "at any time."

Gov. Kathy Hochul said she was "heartbroken" to learn of the child's death. "As a mother and grandmother, I cannot imagine what this family is going through. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved this child," Hochul said in a statement. "Measles is highly contagious, and vaccination remains our best protection against this dangerous disease. This is New York’s first measles-related death in 30 years, a devastating reminder of what’s at stake when Washington deliberately erodes decades of progress in protecting Americans from preventable illnesses," she added. "In New York, we will continue to stand by proven public health measures and do everything we can to keep New Yorkers safe and healthy." DEADLY MEASLES OUTBREAK HITS NORTHEAST AS STATE RECORDS FIRST DEATHS IN 35 YEARS The Trump administration has made changes to federal vaccine policy, including revising the childhood immunization schedule and reviewing how vaccines are recommended. The CDC, however, continues to recommend two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine for children and says two doses provide the best protection against measles. Fox News Digital has reached out to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for a response to Hochul's comments. The child's death comes four weeks after Hochul declared a State Disaster Emergency in response to the measles outbreak across areas of New York and neighboring states, expanding the pool of eligible people who can administer measles vaccines and providing quick access to additional resources if needed. The governor said last month she planned to seek federal assistance to combat the outbreak. TRUMP SURGEON GENERAL PICK BACKS MMR VACCINE, REJECTS LINK BETWEEN CHILDHOOD VACCINES AND AUTISM The New York State Department of Health said it is working with county health departments and local partners to provide the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine to any unvaccinated people who request it and to closely monitor and investigate all reported cases. As of Oct. 24, New York had recorded 178 measles cases this year — 170 outside New York City and eight in the city. State health officials urged New Yorkers to protect themselves by making sure they are up-to-date on their measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccines and be aware of health advisories if traveling with unvaccinated people, especially young children. "We are deeply saddened by the death of a child in Lewis County associated with the ongoing measles outbreak. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the child's family and loved ones and ask that their privacy be respected during this difficult time," the New York State Department of Health said in a statement. The department said measles is a highly contagious disease that can cause serious complications and death, stressing that vaccination is the "best protection against measles." "The Department has offered resources to Lewis County to assist with community outreach and support local vaccination efforts – both in response to this case, and as part of our ongoing efforts to support counties that are facing this ongoing measles outbreak," the department's statement reads. "We urge New Yorkers to ensure they are up-to-date on measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccinations and speak to their healthcare provider about immunizations."

After all, the organization and its fan base have never celebrated a World Series title, and the entire state, let alone the city itself, is still on cloud nine after the five-game victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Christian Yelich has been waiting for this moment since he landed in Milwaukee in 2018, and since that last out was made at Tropicana Field, he understood immediately how much it means to the loyal fan base as well as his teammates. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE "It’s been awesome," Yelich told OutKick just before celebrating once more with Brewers fans at Raising Cane’s for a victory "shift" in Greendale, Wisconsin. "We’ve been busy kinda bouncing around everywhere. Not a whole lot of sleep, but I think that’s kinda how it should be. Still taking it all in and celebrating with everybody still. It’s been an awesome couple days." But, while the Brewers relish their first-ever title, all 29 other MLB teams might be trying to rethink how to play the game itself after "Brewer Ball" took over this season. Milwaukee’s style of play, which emphasizes fundamentals and situational baseball — think compared to the launch angle, raw power mindset others have adopted in today’s game — earned the moniker whilst winning 103 regular-season games. Then, they made a postseason run that shocked some, especially after sweeping the back-to-back-champion Los Angeles Dodgers and almost doing the same to the Rays in the World Series before a Game 4 walk-off by Tampa Bay saved them for another day. MILWAUKEE BREWERS BROKE BASEBALL ON THEIR WAY TO REMARKABLY DOMINANT WORLD SERIES RUN Does Yelich believe the league will follow suit and get back to fundamentals being top priority? "Brewer Ball" is clearly successful, but there’s a caveat for Yelich. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! "Yeah, I think everybody tries to do it, but it’s really hard to do it," he explained. "It takes a team that’s together and everybody’s bought in and going in the same direction. I think that was one of our biggest strengths – the togetherness of everybody and everybody sharing a common goal. Being willing to do whatever it took to accomplish that." Perhaps Yelich’s point is the biggest part of "Brewer Ball" – having a team bought into doing the little things needed to win those close matchups. It takes a special group, which is what Milwaukee had been all season long through the highs and lows. Now, Yelich and the rest of the crew are reaping the benefits of that selfless style of play that other teams may be trying to replicate down the road. While they try, Yelich will keep interacting with fans like he did on Monday, surprising more than 400 fans at Raising Cane’s following Friday’s victory parade through the streets of Milwaukee. He, Brice Turang and manager Pat Murphy even made an appearance on "Saturday Night Live" over the weekend. Yelich, joined by his mother, grandmother and dog Winston, greeted fans, signed baseballs, jerseys and more, and continued to party on. "Just seeing people make memories and celebrate the championship with us. We knew how much it meant to everybody and how much everybody wanted us to get this done," he said. "We’ve been close for a while now and finally getting over that hurdle and finally getting it done has been awesome. Just really cool to see how happy it’s made people and how much fun everybody’s been having the last few days."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae94985726b22deeb6a0c53 Associated Press Top 25 poll voters hit a new, ridiculous low with this week's results te 2026-11-03T02:40:05.510Z Associated Press Top 25 poll voters hit a new, ridiculous low with this week's results At this point, it's reasonable to wonder if the voters who determine the Associated Press Top 25 poll are even trying anymore. It's been a recurring problem in recent years, with the first part of the 2026 season showing once again that many poll voters are either not paying close enough attention, or are hopelessly consumed, or confused, by specific pro-conference or pro-team biases. That observation was even more evident with the release of this week's poll, which has conclusively demonstrated, yet again, that preseason polls are given far too much importance and that no other conference gets the special treatment the SEC receives. YES, THE SEC IS STILL GETTING RIDICULOUS PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT IN THE AP TOP 25 POLL First? The Texas Longhorns. Texas has two poor quality losses this year, to the Oklahoma Sooners and a home loss to the Florida Gators. They have the miraculous escape over Ohio State, and a win over Ole Miss. They're No. 10 in the country. Texas Tech has just one loss, a bad one at Cincinnati, but two "ranked" wins in a surprisingly strong Big 12 Conference. They're No. 13. We've had an entire offseason and half a season with SEC coaches, cough Lane Kiffin cough, complaining about moving to a nine-game schedule and demanding preferential treatment for their schedules, all while they're already getting it. Missouri is No. 19, for some reason, despite an extremely unimpressive resume of providing losses for other SEC teams. They were blown out 31-3 by Ole Miss, lost to what's clearly a mediocre Mississippi State team, though at least that was with Kamario Taylor, but their big win over Florida now looks much less impressive considering the Gators' collapse. But the biggest problem? Their ridiculous handling of that Florida team and the South Carolina Gamecocks. Exclusively because of their conference affiliation. Florida has two impressive wins, over Ole Miss and Texas, but has three awful losses. Not one, not two, but three losses. They were blown out 45-17 at Missouri, blown out 38-19 by South Carolina, and blown out 27-8 by Georgia. That 27-8 loss was just on Saturday. Why are they ranked? CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE You could make the case that the Gators deserve to be in the top 25 had their three losses been even remotely close. They weren't. This is a deeply flawed team that is capable of flashes of brilliance against some opponents. They shouldn't be ranked. And they wouldn't be, if their jersey patch didn't have the SEC logo on it. Meanwhile, Northwestern isn't ranked, despite having just two losses. Two close losses, to Indiana and a still-feisty Oregon Ducks team. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! South Carolina also has three losses, yet not only are they ranked, they're No. 23. At least Florida can point to Ole Miss and Texas, but the Gamecocks jumped into the top 25 after beating a very mediocre Oklahoma team. They lost to Mississippi State, Kentucky, and were blown out 49-18 by Alabama. While they did beat Tennessee, there's little to justify being ranked with three losses this early in the season. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! To be fair to the SEC, the voters' handling of Notre Dame is also bizarre. The Irish have taken advantage of an easy schedule this year, going 7-1 with wins over Wisconsin, Rice, Michigan State, Purdue, North Carolina, Stanford and Navy. They lost their only "tough" game on the road at BYU. So why are they No. 4, ahead of an undefeated UCLA and one loss Indiana team? The Hoosiers, after all, lost in close fashion to Ohio State, with starting QB Julian Sayin. They've won everything else. UCLA hasn't lost at all, the only team in the Big Ten or SEC able to say that. Sure, they've had a pretty easy schedule, but they have wins over Wisconsin at home and Oregon on the road...how's that any different from Notre Dame? Especially considering, again, they haven't lost? SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER The reality here is that poll voters are hopelessly committed to brand names. Whether those brand names are at the team or conference level. After Kiffin and Sarkisian have spent weeks complaining about the SEC's schedules and how they're handled, it's clear that the AP Poll is giving them an enormous amount of deference, likely undeservedly so. The reality is that the SEC this year, and the Big Ten for that matter, are filled with teams that are far less talented than in years past. NIL and the transfer portal have flattened out college football, and brand names matter less than ever. You'd think that watching Indiana win a national championship would show voters that the traditional pathways and powerhouse programs should not be given the benefit of the doubt. Some of this will sort itself out as November plays out, but there's no question that the AP Poll will impact the College Football Playoff selection committee rankings. The ones that actually matter. It's clear that they shouldn't.

Well, mostly. After the Atlanta Dream dropped Game 7 of the WNBA Finals to the Golden State Valkyries, the forward announced a six-month break from her podcast. Reese took to social media to tell followers she is stepping away from "Unapologetically Angel." She made it clear that she needs to dedicate the offseason to herself. Reese is heading to Florida for the break to spend time with her boyfriend, Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. The rest of the plan is to rest, lift weights, build her brand and find "peace." Over the past year, Reese used the mic to complain that her WNBA salary could not cover her $8,000 monthly rent, lectured Cam Newton on why men must pay every bill, and took routine swipes at Caitlin Clark fans. The feed never lacked for eye-rolls. The media break follows a rough finish on the court. Atlanta reached the finals for the first time since 2013, but the Dream dropped Game 7, 68-63. Reese struggled to score during the elimination game. She logged 33 minutes but managed only eight points on 3-for-7 shooting. She grabbed 12 rebounds but gave away four turnovers. Over the seven-game series, she coughed up the ball 27 times, setting a WNBA Finals record. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! After dropping Game 7, she declared she had "nothing to hang my head about." Naturally, out came the playbook: every defeat is a lesson, a championship is "delayed, not denied," and she wants more.

The woman, identified as "Jane Doe" in court documents, sued Caleb T. Suh in New York Supreme Court on Oct. 28, accusing him of assault and battery and seeking damages. Doe and Suh were cadets at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point when Doe learned she was pregnant in January 2022, according to the complaint. The lawsuit alleges Suh repeatedly pressured Doe to have an abortion, while she told him she intended to keep the baby. Suh later appeared to support her decision but allegedly used her identification to create an online pharmacy account in her name and obtain abortion medication without her knowledge. WOMAN HELD DOWN, FORCE-FED ABORTION PILLS AT HEART OF ‘HELL ON EARTH’ FIGHT OVER BIDEN-ERA POLICY On Feb. 4, 2022, Suh brought a drink he described as a pregnancy protein shake to Doe's barracks room, according to the complaint. She became sick and drifted in and out of consciousness after drinking it. Suh later admitted in federal court that he administered abortion medication to Doe without her knowledge or consent. Hours later, Doe became seriously ill and was taken to a hospital, where doctors confirmed she was suffering a miscarriage. Doe reported the incident to the Army Criminal Investigation Division at West Point in May 2022. Suh was charged in federal court in June 2026 and pleaded guilty June 30 to assault resulting in substantial bodily injury to a dating partner. Suh admitted creating an online pharmacy account using his girlfriend's identity to obtain abortion medication without her knowledge or consent. He also admitted to obtaining Xanax to sedate her before administering the abortion pills. "My intent was use the Xanax to unwittingly sedate my girlfriend so that I could then administer the abortion pills, which I had obtained via the online pharmacy," Suh said, according to the complaint. EX-DEMOCRAT SHARES ABORTION PILL EXPERIENCE THAT LEFT HER 'HEMORRHAGING IN THE BATH' Suh also admitted deceiving his girlfriend into believing he supported the pregnancy before giving her the medication. He acknowledged that she later miscarried "as a result of the abortion pills that I had administered without her knowledge and consent." After leaving West Point, Suh attended Cornell University, graduating in May 2026, before enrolling in a master's program at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. A spokesperson for Cornell told Fox News Digital that when Suh was admitted as a transfer student, he answered "No" when asked whether he had been found responsible for a disciplinary violation at a previous school. Cornell said his previous university had reported he was in good academic standing and eligible to return. A person with knowledge of the matter told Fox News Digital that Columbia was unaware of Suh's status until the New York Times contacted the university Friday and that the school took swift action. Applications to the school do not require applicants to disclose prior criminal convictions, the person said. FIRST ON FOX: TOP REPUBLICANS TAKE ABORTION PILL FIGHT TO SUPREME COURT, CITING COERCION AND SAFETY RISKS Suh asked a federal judge in October to postpone his sentencing until January 2027, in part to complete his semester at Columbia. Federal prosecutors did not oppose the request, and U.S. District Judge Philip M. Halpern granted it. Doe is seeking compensatory and punitive damages. "Our complaint sets out that our client was forced to endure an unimaginable trauma and was robbed of a pregnancy she wanted, while Mr. Suh has since managed to attend not one, but two ivy league schools. We are outraged on her behalf and plan to aggressively pursue justice," Russell Kornblith, partner at Wigdor LLP, said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital. West Point and an attorney for Suh did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Haley Stevens’, D-Mich., endorsement of GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers over his Democratic opponent, Abdul El-Sayed, saying that he believes the endorsement will "certainly" help Rogers in the midterm. Vance spoke to reporters at Joint Base Andrews following two rallies for GOP candidates in New York and Ohio, responding to a question from Fox News Digital about the impact that Stevens’ endorsement will have on the race. "I certainly think it helps," Vance said. "I mean, the message is whether you're a reasonable Democrat, a Republican, a conservative, an independent or just a liberal who loves the United States of America. El-Sayed is a crazy person and Mike Rogers is a patriot." MICHIGAN DEM CLAIMS STEVENS SHOT DOWN ROGERS ENDORSEMENT RUMOR HOURS BEFORE TURNING ON EL-SAYED "I do think it drives home the message, maybe gives certain voters who, you know, wouldn't normally vote for a Republican permission, knowing that the Democratic Congresswoman of Michigan is going to support Mike Rogers." The vice president then emphasized that Rogers is a "good guy" and said he believes Michiganders are seeing El-Sayed as a "crazy guy" that would not be good for the state. EL SAYED'S LEFT-WING ALLIES ATTACK 'EVIL' STEVENS AFTER BOMBSHELL ROGERS ENDORSEMENT Stevens endorsed Rogers on Sunday, while taking a swipe at El-Sayed in the process. "Hey Michigan, as you may have seen, our Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, Abdul, said that I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away," Stevens said. "And he’s right, and that’s why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today. I don’t belong in Abdul’s campaign." MAMDANI, HASAN PIKER AMONG RADICAL LEFT-WING VOICES ERUPTING OVER HALEY STEVENS' ENDORSEMENT SWITCH Both El-Sayed and Rogers penned opinion pieces for Fox News Digital on Monday ahead of Election Day, with the two candidates laying out their reasoning for entering the race. "I’m running for Senate because no Michigander deserves to be left behind," El-Sayed wrote. "That’s why we’ve held over 700 events in over 120 cities. I’ve sat down with Michiganders from all walks of life, all of whom are hurting from the Rogers-Trump agenda and are hungry for change." EL-SAYED, ROGERS CLASH OVER MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, TRUMP AND GUNS: 5 FIERY DEBATE MOMENTS Rogers didn’t spare El-Sayed from criticism in his piece, noting his Democrat opponent's connection to far-left communist streamer and activist Hasan Piker. "As a former Army officer and FBI street agent, I would never have imagined that I would be running against someone who associates with terrorist sympathizers. El-Sayed has invited someone to our state who openly proclaims, ‘America deserved 9/11.’ He took donations from individuals linked to terrorist organizations." ABDUL EL-SAYED REPORTEDLY CALLED HASAN PIKER WARNING HIS RHETORIC WAS 'COSTING' VOTES Stevens also criticized El-Sayed’s connection to Piker following her endorsement of Rogers, and has previously said Piker "should be condemned" for his extremist views. During a livestream in May, Piker directed investigators to Neville Roy Singham as a target of subpoenas issued by the Treasury Department, saying Singham’s "operation" in the U.S. includes the openly Marxist ANSWER Coalition and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, known as PSL. "I think that ultimately the target is probably Singham and his operation from PSL to ANSWER Coalition to CodePink — like anything that he has ever financed," Piker said. "Not sure how much money he has now, but he's been a funding vehicle for a lot of political movements in the country, like a lot of activism, and they hate that s---, so they're trying to jam them up." HASAN PIKER BRUSHES OFF DEMS WHO SEE HIM AS A LIABILITY, NAMES HIS '28 CHOICE A Fox News Digital investigation found that Singham has pumped $285 million into six organizations including $22.44 million to the People’s Forum, a hub for communist organizing in New York City; $1.33 million to CodePink; $68.7 million to Justice and Education Fund Inc., a nonprofit that funnels money to anonymous projects overseas; $1.098 million to BreakThrough BT Media, a propaganda arm; and $16.76 million to Tricontinental Ltd., a pro-communist think tank. The Party for Socialism and Liberation and ANSWER Coalition share office space at the People's Forum and share leadership with the People's Forum. After Vance returned to Joint Base Andrews in Washington, D.C., on Monday afternoon, El-Sayed and Rogers both held rallies in Michigan in a final message to voters. HALEY STEVENS' ENDORSEMENT STUNT BACKFIRES WITH EL-SAYED SETTING SINGLE-DAY FUNDRAISING RECORD On Vance’s final rally blitz, he spoke to voters in Ohio and New York, advocating for Jon Husted, Vivek Ramaswamy, Andrew Constantino, among others. He was joined by Department of Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Donald Trump Jr. during his remarks. Crowds of a couple of hundred supporters gathered at the two airport hangars where Vance spoke in the two states as he delivered his message encouraging Republicans to get out to the polls for Tuesday’s midterm elections.

Four candidates are competing for two City Council seats, five are vying for two school board seats and voters will weigh in on the city’s future growth and school funding. If you haven’t looked at your ballot yet, now’s the time. Polls open at 6 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3, and close at 7 p.m. Here’s what you need to know before heading out. First things first: Where do I vote? Pinal County uses assigned polling places, so you can’t necessarily cast your ballot at the location closest to home. Find your polling place using the Pinal County polling place lookup. Some polling locations in town include the Maricopa Library and Cultural Centerm Copper Sky Multigenerational Center and the Maricopa Unified School District Office. Don’t assume your neighborhood polling place is the right one. Check your assigned location first. What should I bring? Arizona voters must present identification at the polls. The easiest option is an Arizona driver’s license or state-issued ID with your name and address. Other acceptable options include certain federal or government-issued photo IDs or tribal identification. Don’t have a qualifying photo ID? You may be able to use two different documents showing your name and address, such as a utility bill, bank statement, vehicle registration or voter registration card. See the Arizona Secretary of State’s voter ID guide for the complete list. Already voted early? First, congratulations on beating the Election Day rush. If you still have an unreturned early ballot, you can drop it off at an official Pinal County drop box or polling location by 7 p.m. Tuesday. Don’t put it in the mail. If you requested an early ballot but want to vote in person instead, bring the unvoted ballot to your assigned polling place and ask an election worker how to proceed. What’s on the ballot? Here’s where things get interesting. City Council: Tena Dugan, Vincent Manfredi, Chrystal O’Jon and Henry Wade are competing for the remaining 2 seats on the Maricopa City Council. Voters can select up to 2 candidates. MUSD Governing Board: Loraine Conley, Patti Coutre, Lisa Garcia, Latrinda Williams and Nicolas Yendrzeski are competing for 2 seats on the school board. Voters can select up to 2 candidates. Proposition 414: This measure asks voters to approve the city’s updated General Plan, a 10-year blueprint for growth and development. It covers everything from land use and transportation to parks, public facilities and economic development. Proposition 416: MUSD is asking voters to continue its 10% maintenance and operations budget override, which provides approximately $7.8 million annually. The money supports smaller class sizes, the RAM Academy alternative high school program and instructional technology. If voters reject the renewal, funding would begin phasing out after the 2026-27 school year, with the override ending in 2029. Other state and local races can be found on the county website. What if something goes wrong? Wrong polling place? Confused about your ballot? Encountering a problem? Start with an election worker or polling place inspector. If the issue isn’t resolved, contact Pinal County Elections at 520-866-7550 or the Pinal County Recorder’s Office at 520-509-3555. Voters who witness suspected election misconduct or irregularities can report concerns to election officials. Document what happened, including the location and time, and provide supporting information when possible. And before sharing that alarming post on Facebook, make sure the information is verified. When will we know who won? It can take darn near a week to get accurate results, but Pinal County’s anticipated results schedule includes: 8 p.m. Tuesday: First results, including early ballots processed through Oct. 30. 11 p.m. Tuesday: Second update, including processed Election Day ballots. Approximately 3 a.m. Wednesday: Third update, including additional polling-place ballots. Before 9 p.m. Wednesday: Additional early ballots that were signature-verified before Election Day.

John Cena himself appeared on "Monday Night Raw" in Brooklyn, New York, and unveiled some of the details behind the event. He told the crowd at the Barclays Center the John Cena Classic will be held as part of a two-part "Monday Night Raw" on Dec. 14. While some members of the WWE roster will be in Perth, Australia, those competing in the John Cena Classic will be at Walt Disney World fighting for the new championship. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE "I have my heart and soul in this event. If you look at this award, there’s me," Cena said. "My name is on this event. This event encapsulates everything I stand for – perseverance, hustle, loyalty, respect." Cena also announced the first invitee to the event: Cody Rhodes. "The American Nightmare" and Cena were adversaries for the better part of 2025. Cena defeated Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41, which gave Cena his record-setting 17th title. Rhodes eventually won the title back later that year at SummerSlam. Cena told Rhodes he was "wrong" when he said Rhodes couldn’t handle the pressure that comes with being "QB1." He said Rhodes was doing it better than he ever could. "This event is everything you are," Cena said. "Everything you stand for. I love you, bud. And I’m so glad to officially invite you to the John Cena Classic."

Cena is expected to appear on "Monday Night Raw," NXT, "Friday Night SmackDown" and Survivor Series: WarGames to announce more invitees. The WWE star didn’t dive into the format of the classic at this juncture. He said fans who signed up for Club WWE will have an impact on the event. Cena first made the announcement of the John Cena Classic back in May at Backlash. At that time, he said stars from each of WWE’s top brands would compete for a championship and the champion would be voted on by the fans. WWE wrestlers who lose their respective matches could still end up the overall winner of the event. More details about the event are expected to come over the next few weeks. Cena told Sports Illustrated in May that if he had to sum up his event in one sentence, he would call it, "WWE’s All-Star Game."

The estranged 49ers wideout officially signed with Drew Rosenhaus on Monday to jump-start his stalled career at age 28. Aiyuk has not played a down since blowing out his knee against Kansas City in October 2024. From that moment on, he did everything possible to destroy whatever leverage he had left. After San Francisco voided roughly $27 million in contract guarantees in July 2025 when Aiyuk skipped mandatory team rehab sessions, he stopped showing up entirely. The team placed him on the reserve/left squad and reserve/did not report lists. RODDY WHITE QUESTIONS 49ERS’ HANDLING OF BRANDON AIYUK AS RECEIVER'S FUTURE IN SAN FRANCISCO REMAINS UNCLEAR Over the summer, Aiyuk took his grievances to social media, tried to force his release, and demanded a trade. Aiyuk openly campaigned to join former Arizona State teammate Jayden Daniels in Washington. Aiyuk also faced an arrest warrant in June 2026 after posting a clip of himself hitting 104 mph in a 40 zone outside Levi's Stadium. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! San Francisco never blinked. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan made it clear Aiyuk is done in the Bay Area. Asked in September 2026 if wide receiver injuries might force a reunion, Shanahan needed just one word: "No." Washington slammed the door shut too, signing Stefon Diggs and killing Aiyuk's dream reunion with Daniels. BRANDON AIYUK SHOUTS OUT COMMANDERS IN LATEST SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEO AS 49ERS TRADE SAGA DRAGS ON Before any transaction can materialize, Aiyuk needs formal league reinstatement before the 49ers can cut or trade him. That is where Rosenhaus comes in. NFL GREAT STEVE SMITH SR SAYS HE HAS 'NO DAMN IDEA' WHAT'S GOING ON WITH EMBATTLED 49ERS STAR BRANDON AIYUK When a player burns his bridges, he is the cleanup guy brought in to save what is left of a career. His resume includes Terrell Owens doing driveway push-ups in 2005 while Rosenhaus repeatedly told reporters, "next question." He represented Antonio Brown through erratic exits across multiple franchises, and briefly took on Johnny Manziel before severing ties over rehab conditions. Aiyuk had elite production in 2023, posting 1,342 receiving yards. But talent only protects a player for so long when matched with prolonged drama, missed rehab, and two full seasons away from contact. San Francisco holds his rights without paying him a dime. Rosenhaus has pulled off miracles with troubled receivers before, but Aiyuk wrote the book on how to alienate front offices across the league.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae936c7726b22deeb69fea0 Four states vote Tuesday on ballot measures that could reshape girls' and women's sports nationwide te 2026-11-03T01:20:07.704Z Four states vote Tuesday on ballot measures that could reshape girls' and women's sports nationwide Four states have measures on Tuesday's ballot that could change who gets to compete in girls' and women's sports — and, in some cases, who gets to use their locker rooms. Arizona and Nebraska already have laws restricting biological males from competing in female sports. A "yes" vote in either state would expand or strengthen those existing restrictions. Washington and Colorado are different. Neither currently has the statewide sex-based restrictions proposed by these measures. If voters approve them, both states would establish statewide sex-based restrictions for school sports — a significant change in two traditionally Democratic states. WHERE TOP DEMOCRAT SENATE CANDIDATES AND THEIR GOP OPPONENTS STAND ON TRANS ATHLETES IN WOMEN'S SPORTS So what's at stake Tuesday? Here's a state-by-state breakdown of what the measures would do, what opponents are saying, how supporters are responding and what the betting markets are predicting. What a yes vote would do: Prohibit students defined as biologically male from competing in girls' K-12 interscholastic sports. Girls seeking to participate would have to provide documentation from a healthcare professional verifying biological sex based on "reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup, or normal endogenously produced testosterone levels." As it stands, K-12 athletes in Washington can compete based on their gender identity under current eligibility rules, which allowed a boy in Camas, WA, to switch to the girls' team mid-season earlier this year. What a no vote would do: Keep the current eligibility rules in place, without adding the initiative's new sex-verification requirements. What opponents say: Organizations such as No Hate in Washington State argue that the initiative would discriminate against transgender students and could subject girls to invasive genital examinations. NEW POLL SHOWS WASHINGTON STATE VOTERS ARE READY TO END BOYS COMPETING IN GIRLS' SPORTS Proponents call the "invasive exam" argument fearmongering, saying that biological sex can be verified as part of a routine sports physical — something high school athletes have been undergoing for years. They also point to a simple cheek swab, which collects DNA from inside the mouth, as another possible way to verify biological sex. Polymarket prediction at the time of writing: 64% market-implied probability of I-638 passing. What a yes vote would do: Establish statewide sex-based participation requirements for school sports from K-12 through the college level. Athletes would generally compete on teams matching their biological sex, with exceptions for coed sports and girls joining boys' teams when no equivalent girls' team exists. The measure covers public, charter and private schools, as well as colleges and universities. It applies to interscholastic and intramural athletics, including school-sponsored club sports. Proposition 134 defines females as "a person whose biological reproductive system is organized around the production of ova" and males as "a person whose biological reproductive system is organized around the production of sperm." Unlike Washington's initiative, Colorado's measure doesn't specifically require a doctor's note or medical examination to verify biological sex. Instead, schools would have to establish their own eligibility policies, with no verification method specified in the measure. The state education commissioner could take action against school districts that intentionally refuse to comply. What a no vote would do: Maintain the existing eligibility system, allowing schools, districts and athletic associations to continue setting their own participation policies, subject to state and federal law. What opponents say: Planned Parenthood and other opponents echo the concerns raised in Washington, arguing that Proposition 134 amounts to government overreach and "risks invasive gender checks for girls." But as XX-XY Athletics founder Jennifer Sey — who chairs the campaign supporting Proposition 134 — has pointed out, 27 states already have restrictions on biological males competing in girls' sports. Sey argues that the invasive examinations opponents warn about aren't happening in those states. Polymarket prediction at the time of writing: 55% market-implied probability of Proposition 134 passing. What a yes vote would do: Build on Arizona's existing public school sports rules by expanding restrictions to private schools and athletic associations, including those overseeing youth and college sports. It would also require schools and athletic associations to restrict access to restrooms, locker rooms and other private spaces connected to athletics based on biological sex as recorded on an original birth certificate. The measure would also allow athletes to sue schools and athletic associations that knowingly violate the law. It would retain protections for athletes competing on coed teams and would not categorically prohibit girls from participating on boys' teams. What a no vote would do: Leave existing laws in place, keeping Arizona's current public school sports restrictions without expanding them to additional institutions or adding the measure's new requirements for private spaces. What opponents say: Civil rights groups such as the ACLU argue that Proposition 318 singles out transgender students, could subject girls to intrusive questioning about their biological sex and opens schools up to expensive lawsuits. Supporters counter that the measure closes loopholes in existing law, protects privacy and safety in locker rooms and bathrooms, and establishes consistent rules for fair athletic competition across the state. Polymarket prediction at the time of writing: 82% market-implied probability of Proposition 318 passing. SUPREME COURT MAKES RULING ON TRANS ATHLETES IN WOMEN'S SPORTS THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! What a yes vote would do: Amend Nebraska's Constitution to prohibit biological males from competing in girls' and women's school sports, from K-12 through college. Schools would have to designate teams as male, female or coed, with female teams reserved for biological females. The measure would apply to public schools and colleges, as well as private institutions whose teams compete against public schools. Unlike Washington and Colorado, Nebraska already has a law restricting biological males from competing in girls' and women's sports. Gov. Jim Pillen signed the Stand With Women Act in June 2025. Arizona also has an existing law, but Nebraska's ballot measure would go a step further by putting its restrictions into the state constitution, making them harder for future lawmakers to overturn. What a no vote would do: Leave Nebraska's Constitution unchanged. The existing law restricting biological males from competing in girls' and women's sports would remain in effect. What opponents say: Groups such as OutNebraska and the Fairness for All campaign argue that the amendment would discriminate against transgender students and unnecessarily write restrictions into the state constitution when a law already exists. Opponents also point out that transgender athletes make up a tiny percentage of the state's population. Supporters counter that putting the restrictions into the constitution would protect female athletes from future changes to state law. The Fairness for Girls campaign argues that allowing biological males to compete against girls creates safety concerns and can cost female athletes medals, advancement opportunities and scholarships. Polymarket prediction at the time of writing: No Polymarket prediction found.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae93220726b22deeb69f79f Trump’s low approval rating shapes closing messages in Arizona races te 2026-11-03T01:00:16.487Z Trump’s low approval rating shapes closing messages in Arizona races WASHINGTON – In his final public appeal before polls open in the midterm elections, President Donald Trump acknowledged Monday that history isn’t on his side.  “For some reason the sitting president doesn’t win the midterms, but we gave this a very strong shot,” Trump said at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, in a closing arguments appearance that focused as much on the pool’s renovation as his plea for voters to let Republicans keep control of Congress. Democrats in Arizona and across the battleground map have weaponized Trump’s low approval ratings. Trump – barnstorming 20 states from Alaska to Florida over the past month – has urged voters to act as if he’s on the ballot. Some Republicans cringed at that advice. Democrats took it as a gift; for them, Trump is the leading argument in the midterms and they and their allies have worked hard to make him a central factor in the state’s three hotly contested U.S. House races.  “Jay Feely says he’ll fight for Trump. You deserve someone in Congress who’ll fight for you,” says a TV ad targeting the GOP nominee to succeed Rep. David Schweikert, R-Fountain Hills. Feely, the ad says, “will push Trump’s agenda” of “tariffs, more data centers, health care cuts, and a costly endless war that sends gas prices soaring.” That particular ad is from the League of Conservation Voters Victory Fund, but Democrat Amish Shah has also sought to tar Feely for his support from and of Trump.  Shah “is campaigning against Donald Trump as much as he is campaigning against … Jay Feely,” said political consultant Stan Barnes. He’s hardly alone. Rep. Juan Ciscomani’s Democratic challenger, JoAnna Mendoza, posted Friday on Facebook that “Juan Ciscomani and his rubber-stamp friends have had every chance to stand up to this Administration, on healthcare, on SNAP, on the Iran war with no plan. They haven’t.” Ciscomani, R-Tucson, has tried to keep his distance from Trump, despite the president’s endorsement. He skipped Trump’s Oct. 14 rally in Bullhead City, for instance. So did Feely – unlike Rep. Eli Crane, R-Oro Valley, who has leaned into his Trump ties. Crane arrived with Trump aboard Air Force One. Rep. Andy Biggs of Gilbert, the GOP nominee for governor, also attended the rally. “It’s a calculation on the part of each candidate and we’ll see if it works for them or not,” Barnes said.  A week out from Election Day, Rep. Yassamin Ansari, D-Phoenix, needled Crane on social media, posting that he “has enabled Donald Trump’s agenda every step of the way.” “I have noticed political advertisements highlighted Republicans’ MAGA credentials in a negative way – which I’ve never seen before,” Kim Fridkin, a professor at Arizona State University’s School of Politics and Global Studies, said by email.  Trump’s approval rating fell to 31% in an Oct. 19 Reuters/Ipsos poll, his lowest level in that poll during either term. “It’s fair to say that most (Republican candidates) … have done their level best to downplay their support of the president” and to emphasize instead local issues they hope will resonate with voters, Barnes said.   According to KJZZ, Ciscomani’s website never mentioned Trump – and the president is not listed on his endorsement page. Before the primary, Feely’s website had a pop-up that touted his Trump endorsement, according to KJZZ. That has since disappeared, a change the campaign downplayed as routine.  Trump remains the first person listed on Biggs’ endorsement page. But, KJZZ reported, his campaign replaced “Trump endorsed” in a logo with the name of his running mate. A spokesperson told KJZZ the endorsement no longer fit in the logo when the campaign decided to add the running mate’s name. “This is not a new phenomenon. Both parties do it,” Barnes said. “When the president is popular, you put your arm around him and you campaign together. When the president’s not so popular, you try to put some distance between you and the president.” Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae9321a726b22deeb69f768 US will mediate upcoming Ukraine-Russia talks in Abu Dhabi, Witkoff says te 2026-11-03T01:00:10.105Z US will mediate upcoming Ukraine-Russia talks in Abu Dhabi, Witkoff says U.S. officials will mediate a new round of talks between Ukraine and Russia next week with the goal of delivering "lasting security for generations to come," U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said on Monday. Witkoff said the U.S.-mediated negotiations will be held on Nov. 10 and 11 in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. "The United States will mediate working-level negotiations between Ukraine and Russia on November 10–11 in Abu Dhabi, advancing President Trump’s mission to end the war. Discussions will focus on post-war security arrangements, de-escalation, humanitarian efforts, and next steps toward peace," Witkoff wrote on X.

"Additionally, American negotiators will meet this week in Brussels with representatives from France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the EU, and NATO to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine, Europe’s post-war security architecture, and economic opportunities to support Ukraine’s reconstruction," Witkoff said. The push by the U.S. government builds upon earlier diplomatic discussions held in Kyiv, Oslo and St. Petersburg, as the Trump administration continues efforts to broker an end to the war following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. "We look forward to building on the progress made in Kyiv, Oslo, and St. Petersburg toward a comprehensive, durable peace agreement that delivers lasting security for generations to come," Witkoff said. TRUMP NEGOTIATORS WITKOFF, KUSHNER MEET WITH PUTIN IN MOSCOW AS US PUSHES FOR END TO RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR This comes after President Donald Trump said last month that efforts to resolve the war were "maybe now the closest we’ve been," adding that he believed both sides wanted an end to the conflict after years of fighting and heavy casualties.

The National Hockey League plays a short overtime, followed by a shootout. NHL games used to end in ties. In the playoffs, the teams keep going – until there’s a winner. In the 2020 playoffs, the Tampa Bay Lightning finally topped the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 after a staggering five overtimes. In other words. They played nearly THREE total games. That’s the equivalent of 26 innings in baseball. Speaking of Major League Baseball, teams play extra innings. And keep playing until one team is ahead and the home team has completed an at-bat in the bottom of the inning. MLB modified its rules a few years ago, introducing a "ghost runner" on second base to start the 10th inning. That’s an effort to end the tie and finish the game sooner. If only there were a method to settle a tie in the U.S. Senate. THE NINE KEY RACES THAT WILL DECIDE WHO CONTROLS THE SENATE, AND WHERE THEY STAND Yes. In the case of a tie roll call vote, the vice president — who doubles as president of the Senate – can vote to break a tie vote. In fact, the VP doesn’t even have to cast a ballot if it’s a tie and the roll call vote is going the way he or she wants. By rule, tie votes go down to defeat in the Senate. But what if we wake up Wednesday morning (if not Friday or Saturday morning or sometime in early December, depending on how hotly contested things are) to discover that the Senate is tied at 50-50? There is nothing in the Senate’s 44 standing rules which serves as a tiebreaker. The Founders didn’t provide a system to bust up a tie and determine which side is in the majority or minority. And no, it’s not written down anywhere that the party of the President is automatically thrust into the majority.  Maybe soccer is on to something with penalty kicks. At least there’s a system. There’s nothing concrete to sort out which party controls the Senate if things are deadlocked at 50-50. There was a tie was a Senate tie in 1881 after resignations and political maneuvering. The Senate was also tied for a period in 1954. Nearly ten percent of all senators died during the two-year Congress which stretched from early 1953 to early 1955.  However, the Senate featured two ties in recent Senate history. Both instances reflect what the Senate did to sort out which party captured the majority. One tie came after the 2000 election. The other in 2020. Both elections took a while to sort things out. In 2026, Alaska, we’re looking at you. It took until early December, 2000 to determine that Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., defeated then-Sen. Slade Gorton, R-Wash., establishing a 50-50 Senate.  In fact, the tie for the Senate from the 2020 election wasn’t even established until two days into the new Congress on January 6, 2021. Yes. That was the day of the Capitol riot. Sens. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., and Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., both won runoffs to set the 50-50 split. In early December, 2000, the Supreme Court finally settled the Florida election dispute between President George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore. Republicans had held the Senate. But then Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., and Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., engineered a power-sharing agreement between the parties. This aligned with the election of Vice President Dick Cheney. Lott would serve as the Majority Leader and the GOP technically had the "majority." But the bipartisan pact granted Daschle some special floor powers. Republicans chaired each committee. However, there was equal representation by both parties on each panel. The full Senate had to ratify this agreement. And it did just that. Such a process is subject to two filibusters requiring 60 yeas. One to bring up the proposal for debate. Another to terminate the debate. Then a simple majority to pass it. But none of that was a problem. The Senate greenlighted it with all 100 senators signing on. Why such smooth sailing? Republicans feared Democrats would stall the agenda of President George W. Bush. So they got on board. Democrats agreed because they knew they were kinda, sorta in the majority. Otherwise, they were relegated to an outright minority. Former Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was well aware of those same dynamics in 2001. He insisted that Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., propound – word-for-word – the same accord in 2021 which Lott and Daschle hammered out.  Which brings us to a potential tie in 2027. Is there the political will in the Senate – let alone the votes – to agree to such a compact? President Trump is still president. And Vice President JD Vance is still President of the Senate. What would they say about that? Unclear. The Senate isn’t compelled to present a dedicated "majority" or "minority." The concept of a "Majority Leader" is relatively new – only dating back to the early 20th Century. The Senate is a body of "equals." Thus, the Founders didn’t expect one senator to wield operational control of the Senate. You won’t find the words "Majority Leader" anywhere in the Constitution. Just Speaker of the House and President of the Senate. If there’s a 50-50 Senate and an impasse, could Vance suddenly have more power? Maybe. As President of the Senate, he can’t debate. He can only preside over the body and break ties. Moreover, would Vance even want to assert more authority? It’s unclear what that could be. And what would all of this do to his plans to run for president in 2028?  EVERYTHING TO KNOW ABOUT HOUSE AND SENATE CONTROL, BALLOT MEASURES AND 2026 ELECTION DAY POLL CLOSING In fact, a deadlocked Senate with no power sharing agreement could potentially hamstring Vance. It wasn’t that long ago that the Vice President spent much of his time presiding over daily Senate debates. But not anymore. If there’s no set majority, those responsibilities either fall to Vance, current Senate President Pro Tempore Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, or the possible Democratic Senate President Pro Tempore Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. The latter two are the most senior senators from their respective parties. The President Pro Tempore is third in line to the presidency, following the Vice President and House Speaker. A power sharing agreement is what helps determine who presides over the Senate. Otherwise, Vance may be moored in the Senate. So there is precedent for settling a "tie" in the Senate. But it hinges on the political will of senators. And if there are disputes about seating Members – say the Alaska Senate race or another contest becomes a conflagration – one can anticipate a toxic climate on Capitol Hill. Few may be willing to sign on to anything. The Senate relies a lot on history and precedent to do things. But absent political will, senators may just resort to rock, paper, scissors.  Or maybe, penalty kicks.

(Photo by Jerod MacDonald-Evoy/Arizona Mirror) The Maricopa County Elections Department had already tabulated over a million ballots on Monday and said it is fully prepared for any situations that arise come Tuesday as election officials across the country prepare for a midterm with a litigious Department of Justice being wielded by an election-denying president.  “Remember, Maricopa County is a swing county in a swing state,” Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chair Kate Brophy McGee said to a room of reporters, adding that the state is home to some of the most competitive races in the country. “Our election staff is the best in the country.”  Maricopa County has been a hotbed for conspiracy theorists since 2020, when they made unfounded and unsubstantiated claims that President Donald Trump lost that election due to fraud.  GET THE MORNING HEADLINES. SUBSCRIBE Maricopa County ballots from the 2020 election were later handed over to a Florida-based “#StopTheSteal” supporting Cyber Ninjas who later came to the same conclusions the county did in its tabulation of the votes: Trump lost.  County officials on Monday stressed that elections staff are fully prepared and ready for all inevitabilities but were largely mum on the details.  The county will have 254 polling locations open on election day with 4,000 volunteer poll workers and 800 workers at Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center, the county’s central tabulation center, also known as MCTEC.  “We have back ups to the back up plans,” said Jennifer Liewer, communications director for the County Elections Department, adding that voters who choose to cast a ballot at the polls on Tuesday may see longer lines as people make their way out of work.  The county is expecting 250,000 people to vote in person on election day. Of the 2.5 million registered voters in the county, over 1 million had voted as of Monday afternoon. The vast majority of Arizona voters cast their ballots early via vote by mail or at an early voting location. The county said that about 10 to 15% of voters choose to vote in person on election day.  The county also said that the first batch of results should be posted by 8 p.m. on Election Day with another batch to come about an hour later. The county expects to post twice-daily updates in the evenings following Election Day.  “Election results are never final on election night,” Assistant County Manager Zach Schira said, reiterating that counting will continue throughout the week.  Late last week, the county asked the U.S. Department of Justice to ensure that none of its election observers have been convicted of election related crimes after reporting that one of those monitors had used a SQL injection attack to obtain login information from the Lee County Supervisors Election website in Florida.  The observer, David Michael Levin, called the hack a “silly political stunt” in a 2021 plea agreement hearing.Another observer in Maricopa County worked on the Georgia fake elector plot, according to Democracy Docket.  The county said it had a “very successful meeting” with the DOJ about its concerns and doesn’t believe there will be any further issues.  “I don’t think any of us knew of that situation until it was publicly reported in the media,” Schira said about the concerns raised about the observers.  Another area of concern nationally and among local groups has been the possible presence of other federal law enforcement, such as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at polling locations.  “We are not going to disenfranchise voters by having a strong uniformed presence at polling sites,” Frank Williams, the director of Emergency Management and Services for the county said.  The county also said it is working on a solution to help voters in the Rio Verde Foothills where dirt roads have become an issue due to the historic amount of rain the state has been experiencing. Gov. Katie Hobbs declared a state of emergency for the entire state to try to help coordinate relief efforts.  County officials stressed that voters should shy away from “rumors” and look to official or trusted sources for news on election day, specifically saying that voters should go to Maricopa.Vote if they need additional information. Voters across the state can visit my.arizona.vote.  Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Tuesday. If you haven’t returned your mail-in ballot, you can still drop it off at a polling place or ballot drop box through 7 p.m. on Election Day.  YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE.

As always, these numbers focus on homes in HOA subdivisions since the non-HOA areas are so diverse. There are currently 671 homes available for sale, with another 135 under contract. Of those 671 homes, 228 are brand-new or spec homes. That’s about 34% of everything available! Builders are offering some pretty significant incentives right now, which makes it even harder for resale homes to compete. Only 66 of the available homes have a private pool. That’s less than 10% of the market, which really limits the choices for buyers who must have a pool. Least expensive home: $229,500 40202 W. Mary Lou Drive in Desert Passage. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms plus den, 1,320 square feet, new appliances, quartz countertops, washer/dryer included and a community pool. Most expensive home: $759,900 40438 W. Hall in The Lakes at Rancho El Dorado. 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2,386 square feet, double RV gate, heated saltwater pool, spa, outdoor kitchen and plenty of interior upgrades. Current listing breakdown 631 Regular listings There are also 63 homes currently available in Province, Maricopa’s active adult community. Bedroom breakdown (671 homes) 2 bedrooms – 49 Garage breakdown (671 homes) No garage – 5 Price range breakdown $225,001–$250,000 – 13 What’s happening with prices? The average asking price of a Maricopa home is currently $362,139, with an average price per square foot of $181. The average seller has reduced their asking price by $20,815 since originally listing, and homes are spending an average of 90 days on the market. Those numbers tell you quite a bit about where the market stands right now. One trend I’m really watching: Short sales One thing that stands out to me is the increase in short sales over the past few years. 2023 – 4 short sales sold And as we begin November, there are currently 38 active short sale/pre-foreclosure listings on the MLS. For those unfamiliar with the term, a short sale generally happens when a homeowner sells for less than what is owed on the mortgage, with the lender’s approval. We’ve gone from just 4 short sales closing in all of 2023 to 24 already closing in the first 10 months of 2026. That’s a pretty significant change and something I’ll continue watching. My thoughts on the market Overall, Maricopa is definitely a buyer-advantaged market right now. Not only are sellers competing with hundreds of other resale homes, but roughly one-third of the available inventory is new construction. Builders can sometimes offer tens of thousands of dollars in incentives that individual sellers simply can’t match. Buyers have plenty of choices and room to negotiate. Sellers need to understand the competition and price their homes accordingly. Of course, every subdivision is different, and what’s happening in one neighborhood may not be happening in another. If you have questions about your particular neighborhood, want to know what homes are actually selling for, or would like specific comps, feel free to comment or reach out.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae92411726b22deeb69f390 Minshew Mania: Arizona Cardinals make long-awaited QB change after comeback win in Dallas te 2026-11-03T00:00:17.457Z Minshew Mania: Arizona Cardinals make long-awaited QB change after comeback win in Dallas TEMPE – The first 43 minutes of the Arizona Cardinals’ Week 8 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on Sunday played out like a recycled movie, complete with a depressing plot that had become all too familiar throughout the 2026 season. Starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett could only muster 145 yards of total offense on seven possessions while completing just 10 of 23 pass attempts for 119 yards and an interception. With time winding down and his team facing a 17-3 deficit, coach Mike LaFleur pulled the trigger on a long-awaited decision. While Brissett headed to the bench, backup quarterback Gardner Minshew took the field for the first time as an Arizona Cardinal with less than two minutes remaining in the third quarter. “It wasn’t really a big hoorah moment,” center Hjalte Froholdt said. “It was just, ‘Quiet down, let’s just do our job because we have 30 minutes, and let’s just get after it’.” What transpired after that point ushered in the Minshew Mania era – expiration date to be determined. The veteran signal caller led three consecutive drives that ended with a passing touchdown in the fourth quarter, and finished the game with 17 completions on 23 attempts and a passer rating of 137.3.  More importantly, his efforts helped the Cardinals storm back and pull out an improbable 33-30 victory in overtime to improve to 3-5. The win was the Cardinals’ fifth in five meetings with Dallas at AT&T Stadium and their ninth in their past 10 meetings with the Cowboys. That was enough for coach Mike LaFleur to name Minshew the team’s starter at a news conference on Monday, with rookie Carson Beck moving up to the backup role. “You just come in, look your guys in the eye and tell them you’re going to give it all you got for them,” Minshew told reporters in Dallas after the game. “We got guys that are willing to go do that with you, and there’s nothing better.” Minshew’s NFL journey dates back to when the Jacksonville Jaguars selected him in the sixth round of the 2019 draft following his lone season at Washington State. Since then, he has started 47 games for five different teams across his seven-year career. Before taking over in Week 8, Minshew’s last appearance on an NFL field was in Week 16 of the 2025 season. He threw just eight passes as the Kansas City Chiefs’ starting quarterback before suffering a non-displaced tibial plateau fracture. In March, the Cardinals signed Minshew to a one-year, $8.25 million contract (with incentives) with the expectation that he would sit behind Brissett. The Cardinals handed the 33-year-old Brissett a reworked one-year contract worth $15.5 million guaranteed in July despite posting a 1-11 record as the starter the year before.  That record eventually worsened to 3-16 following a loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 7, but despite prolonged frustration regarding the team’s offensive struggles, LaFleur kept Brissett at the top of the depth chart for another week. When Brissett posted the worst single-game passer rating as a starter of his career against Dallas (41.8), however, it was fair to wonder if it was also the closing note to his time in Arizona.  Passer rating if you throw the ball into the ground every time: 39.6 Jacoby Brissett passer rating in the first half: 36.2 — Kyle Odegard (@Kyle_Odegard) November 1, 2026 Despite demoting Brissett to third string, LaFleur offered no indication that the move was related to the upcoming NFL trade deadline on Nov. 10. “Only focused on this week,” LaFleur said. “He’s fully a part of this team and (I’m) excited to see him still be the teammate I know he is.” Arizona’s Week 9 contest in Seattle on Sunday is shaping up to be the first time Beck will be listed as active on the team’s game-day roster. The former Miami Hurricane remains a lingering conundrum for the Cardinals, but it’s no mystery that his recent promotion puts him in a position to take the field at some point during the season. If Minshew struggles in a stadium in which the Cardinals have lost four straight games, and against an opponent that has beaten them 10 straight times overall, perhaps it could come soon and the Cardinals will have the opportunity to evaluate what they have in Beck before the QB-rich 2027 draft. Currently, LaFleur’s focus rests on the 24-year-old gaining more experience and recovering from the back spasms he was dealing with last week. “Just think that’s the right thing to do,” LaFleur said. “Got to continue his development in terms of getting a little bit more reps with the scout team and all that. We feel that he’s week to week in terms of he’s feeling really good right now.” While it’s still unknown how Beck’s rookie campaign will pan out, it’s also becoming increasingly possible that Arizona may not be able to use the draft for a top quarterback prospect.  Based on nfl.com tiebreakers and verified by tankathon.com, the Cardinals currently sit 12th in the 2027 NFL draft order. There are currently nine teams with fewer wins than Arizona despite owning a record two games under .500. On the other hand, the team will have to manage recent injuries to receivers Michael Wilson, Kendrick Bourne and running back Jeremiyah Love during a brutal three-game stretch that includes the Seahawks on the road, the Los Angeles Rams at home and the Kansas City Chiefs on the road. For now, LaFleur is hoping Sunday’s showcase of Minshew Magic is the start of a long-term offensive spark as the veteran prepares to make his first start with the franchise. “I think he kind of showed all of us, in terms of going in there, being competitive,” LaFleur said. “Doesn’t shock me. The production was pretty wild in terms of the amount of points and just moving up and down the field. He’s a competitor and he’s always prepared.” Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/home
