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.

State Rep. Walt Blackman (R-LD-7) had pleaded for emergency aid for his constituents and the surrounding areas. Blackman also petitioned Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ-02) to coordinate federal support for the congressman’s district. 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.

In his ruling, Judge Scott A. Blaney granted part of the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment and denied the state’s competing motion. 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. Egg ranches with fewer than 20,000 egg-laying hens were exempt. Arizona restaurateur sues the "egg bureaucrats" to stop illegal power grab. Today Goldwater and @PacificLegal are challenging a cage-free egg mandate that bureaucrats imposed with no checks and balances. Read about the lawsuit here: https://t.co/kD0o9rZsPZ — Goldwater Institute (@GoldwaterInst) November 16, 2023 Blaney concluded that the regulation violated A.R.S. § 41-1030(D)(3), which prohibits agencies from making rules that are not specifically authorized by statute. 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.

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.

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.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae94029726b22deeb6a0741 Ex-West Point cadet sued for secretly drugging pregnant girlfriend with abortion pills te 2026-11-03T02:00:09.051Z Ex-West Point cadet sued for secretly drugging pregnant girlfriend with abortion pills A former West Point cadet who admitted to secretly drugging his pregnant girlfriend and administering abortion medication to her without her knowledge or consent is now being sued over the 2022 incident. 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. Thursday through Wednesday, Nov. 11: Additional early ballots and provisional ballots.  Just remember, results remain unofficial until the election is canvassed.

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.

"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.

"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.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae92fc1726b22deeb69f69f How a midterm tie gets settled in the case of the Senate te 2026-11-03T00:50:09.336Z How a midterm tie gets settled in the case of the Senate In the World Cup, they play overtime, then rely on penalty kicks to settle ties. 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.

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/post/6ae921b3726b22deeb69f133 Maricopa County Elections officials discuss preparations for Election Day after heavy rainfall te 2026-11-02T23:50:11.880Z Maricopa County Elections officials discuss preparations for Election Day after heavy rainfall PHOENIX – The transition from early voting to Election Day preparations went smoothly despite heavy rainfall this weekend, Maricopa County Elections officials said Monday. They also spoke on Election Day anticipations and how they’ll ensure operations run as intended. The department has received more than a million ballots, tabulated about 950,000 and is planning for roughly 500,000 votes to come in on Election Day, said Jennifer Liewer, the deputy elections director for Maricopa County. She said in-person Election Day participation typically makes up 10% to 15% of the total votes cast. Approximately 2.6 million registered voters are eligible to vote in the election, Liewer said. Kate Brophy McGee, chair of Maricopa Board of Supervisors and supervisor for District 3, said the county has more than 4,000 poll workers serving on Election Day. “I would ask that everyone treat our election workers with the kindness and the respect they so deserve,” McGee said. “These are good people – your friends, your neighbors – working hard to ensure you get to exercise your most precious freedom, the right to vote.” A total of 151 voting centers opened Monday morning. On Tuesday, 254 centers will be accessible from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., an increase from 223 voting locations in 2024. The locations of centers and the wait time per location are available on the Maricopa County Elections website. “We had members of the community step up and offer their facilities so that we can have as many voting locations as possible for our in-person voters on Election Day,” Liewer said. Zach Schira, assistant county manager for elections and external affairs, said the county expects to update results twice a day: in the early and late evening. Liewer said final results may not be called until early next week. “While we may be done tabulating the bulk of the ballots, it will most likely – if there is a race that is that close – not be called by the media until Sunday or Monday,” she said. After polls close on Election Day, Schira said teams will remove memory drives from tabulators, place them in tamper-proof packaging and send them to the county’s central counting facility. He also said that county roads to voting locations should be passable by late Monday, such as roads in the Rio Verde Foothills that had been washed out by weekend storms.  Rep. Alexander Kolodin, who is running for Arizona secretary of state, called for an emergency declaration to clear the roads from flooding that could impede access to the polls for voters in the Rio Verde Foothills. “We’re continuing to work with our emergency management department and our attorneys on that request,” Schira said. Scott Jarrett, Maricopa County elections director, said that significant rainfall did not impact the transition to Election Day operations and locations opened on time, except two that faced a power outage. Voting centers at Paradise Valley Community College and Sunset Canyon Elementary School were temporarily closed this morning due to “power-related issues,” the department posted on X. Jarrett said he does not know the exact cause of the outage, but the locations were reopened before noon.  “We’ve seen, I think, historic rainfall and storms in the last couple of days, and I know our power companies have been working hard to make sure that power is being restored as quickly as possible,” Liewer said. Local and federal law enforcement will also be present near polling locations, but Frank McWilliams, director of emergency management and security services, said the county will not have armed personnel visible at voting locations that could “disenfranchise some voters.” “Maricopa County voters can feel confident that they’ll be able to come to the voting locations tomorrow and do so and cast their vote peacefully,” Liewer said. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae91f5d726b22deeb69ee30 Nick Myers: Outgoing Corporation Commission chair on legacy and next steps te 2026-11-02T23:40:13.787Z Nick Myers: Outgoing Corporation Commission chair on legacy and next steps Arizona Corporation Commission Chair Nick Myers lost his reelection bid in July. Now, he thinks he may have gotten the better end of the deal.  Myers’ four-year term coincided with unprecedented interest in the ACC’s work, stemming from spats with the Legislature and the attorney general, concerns about rapid data center growth and energy costs, and conflicts surrounding the commission’s formula rate policy statement.  The outgoing utility regulator sat down with the Arizona Capitol Times to discuss what he’s learned from serving in a statewide elected office and how his future plans might keep him close to the commission. The questions and answers have been edited for style and clarity. Can you tell me about your path to the commission? I started as a software engineer, did that for 18 years. Ultimately, I got tired of the corporate world and started doing my own entrepreneurial activities. I built fuel systems for aircraft; I did dog training; I had an IT business — just very eclectic, hodgepodge businesses. One of those was delivering water, and that’s where I met George Johnson and ended up picking a fight with him. That led to six or seven years of fighting in front of the commission and getting to know it fairly intimately. When I was done with that, somebody said, “Hey, you’ve got a lot of experience now. Why don’t you run for a seat?” My dad was [on] city council back in Kansas, so I went to him, and I said, “I’m thinking about doing this. Am I crazy?” I think his exact words were, “Yes, but do it anyway.” So I did. And, it turns out I really do love the job.  Was there still a learning curve when you were elected to the commission? I did have an advantage because [when] I ran the first time, COVID hit, so I couldn’t shake hands, which meant I lost. [Then] Rep. [Jacqueline] Parker got elected, so she could no longer be Commissioner [Justin] Olson’s deputy policy advisor. So when she went to the Legislature, I stepped in. That was my fire hose drinking time. So when I actually became a commissioner and took office, I was well prepared, much more than most commissioners when they come in. I’m not going to tell you that there wasn’t a lot that I had to learn. This is a huge field, and we do a lot of wonky things. Securities, corporations’ filings, telecommunications, and railroad and pipeline safety. So yes, there was a bit of a learning curve, but the fact that I had that two-year advantage really did help a lot. What do you wish more people knew about the commission? The reality is, we have constitutional responsibilities. We can’t just turn down a rate case. If the utility thinks that their rates need to be adjusted in order for them to continue to do business, we have to go look at all of that evidence and assign rates. It’s not a matter of, “No, you don’t get a rate increase this time.” And I really wish people understood that. That it’s not [utilities] spending money and then coming back and taking it from the pockets of the ratepayers. It’s how much money you need in order to operate effectively and with a little bit of a profit. It’s not us rubber-stamping rate cases; it’s going through an 18-month process in front of a judge with intervenors and putting everything on the table, cross-examining witnesses. It’s a personal goal [and] a constitutional responsibility to keep [rates] as low as possible, but also [to] let the utility run.  What do you wish other elected officials knew about the commission? The biggest thing that I can point to is they need to stop thinking that we are the Legislature. We act more like a judicial branch, not more like a legislative branch. We can’t just snap our fingers and say, “Thou shalt not put solar panels up.” No matter what your feelings are, that’s just not the way it works. We have to have evidence. We have to go through a hearing process. And sometimes it works out that those are the best technologies. Sometimes not. I wish they would realize that we aren’t the legislative branch and we have to do things in a very structured, logical, due process-type environment. It’s a very technical and very specialized field, which is why we have great employees at the commission that know how to do this stuff. They’ve done it for decades, and the commissioners are just there to kind of give direction. What do you see as your proudest accomplishment during your time at the commission? My very first docket that I opened hours after I was sworn in was the rate structure docket, which ended up being the formula rate [policy statement]. That will be the legacy that I leave, and I know it’s received a lot of mixed feedback. But I personally very strongly believe that this addresses a lot of concerns that a lot of people have in Arizona. Like, why do we have utilities that don’t come in for 40 years for rate cases? It’s because we can’t force them to come in. But if we have formula rates and they voluntarily take the formula rate process, part of that is you’re going to come in every year, and we’re going to keep tabs on you. It also helps keep the rates more aligned with what inflation is doing and what the economy is doing, which is something that was specifically asked for on the campaign trail four years ago. People are upset about the fact that we’re allowing rates to increase every year, potentially because inflation really doesn’t ever go down. But also there’s an opportunity [for rates] to go down because what utility is going to voluntarily come in if they want a rate decrease? It will never happen. With formula rates, they’re required to come in every year, so at least we’ve opened the door to the possibility of lowering rates. There’s a lot of big advantages both to the utility, but also to the ratepayer, and it’s a balance. So I’ll stand behind it all day.  What do you want to see the commission pursue after you leave? I wish I could have seen more nuclear come to fruition, because nuclear is a huge topic lately. Everybody wants it; it’s not even a partisan issue anymore. It just takes so long to get it built, and there are so many hurdles to jump through, and there are new technologies that need to be finished being developed. I really wish we could see that, and I really wish Arizona was more of an industrial complex for nuclear. What did you learn from your loss in the primary election? One thing I’ve learned in my short time in politics is that if you’re doing things 100% correctly and honestly, you will not make it in politics. That’s a very sad thing to say, but I don’t want to go out there and try to destroy an opponent. It’s just not in my nature. There are people who are willing to play that nasty game, and then they’re going to be the good guy when they’re in office. I had an opponent who said a lot of things that flat-out weren’t true, and he ended up winning. I am, and always have been, a firm believer that this is a public service. I did not join the military, so this is the way I’m serving my country and my state. And if the people don’t want me to serve, so be it. I’m OK with that. Now that I’m out of it, I think I’ve gotten the better end of the deal by not being reelected. What comes next for you after you leave the commission? I’ve interviewed with the [Federal Energy Regulatory Commission]. I’ve given my resume to a couple of different people at the [U.S.] Department of Energy. One of the FERC commissioners asked for my resume. There is a deputy executive director position at the commission that is now unfilled. Could that be a possibility? Maybe. It’s something I would be more than qualified to fill, and I would actually bring a great skill set to it. I’m one of the guys who has a lot of the historical knowledge of the commission at this point, and I have legislative contacts; I already have those connections. So it might be a good fit if [the executive director] chooses to put me there. It’s safe to say that because I like the energy world and I like the utilities space that I’ll be around somehow, some way. Would you ever consider running for office again? No. Would I 100% rule it out? No. Maybe when all the kids are moved out, I’ve served my time as a government employee and got my pension, and I don’t care anymore. Maybe if Turning Point doesn’t exist, if the [Arizona] Free Enterprise Club doesn’t exist. Then maybe I would, because I don’t want to have to fight my own people to do a job. If people want me to do it, I might consider it, and there are a lot of people that think I should. Commissioner [Lea] Màrquez Peterson is termed out, so people have asked if I am going to run for her seat. The answer is not only no, but hell no. Especially since it’s a two-year process away from my family. My wife has said no. I’m not going to rule it out altogether. It just probably won’t be a statewide position unless the stars really align perfectly. It’ll be something more close to home, and it’ll be something that I really have an interest in doing.

Marcotulio Melendez Diaz, 42, of Honduras, was working as a handyman on Oct. 11, when he allegedly overpowered and repeatedly raped the resident against her will. The assault inside the Mounds View home was captured on her indoor surveillance video, officials said. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) blasted U.S. District Judge Orlando L. Garcia for ordering his release, arguing that the incident could have been prevented if Melendez Diaz had remained in custody. ILLEGAL ALIEN ‘PIRATE’ WHO HIJACKED PLANE TO US FREED BY CLINTON-APPOINTED JUDGE ICE URGES NEW YORK NOT TO RELEASE SALVADORAN NATIONAL ACCUSED OF RAPING 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL ON LONG ISLAND "This is what happens when activist judges side with criminal illegal aliens over Americans," the agency said in a statement. "ICE arrested him, and an immigration judge ordered his deportation. But a Clinton-appointed federal judge ordered him RELEASED. "And now an American woman has suffered a horrific crime that could have been PREVENTED." ICE sources told Fox News that Melendez Diaz was initially apprehended and released at the southern border by the Biden administration in April 2024. He was arrested again in Minnesota in January 2026, during Operation Metro Surge, and transferred to ICE detention in Texas, according to the officials. On March 30, an immigration judge issued a deportation order against him, which Melendez Diaz appealed, the authorities said. FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS DEPORTATION OF DOMINICAN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT SHOT BY ICE DURING NYC ARREST ATTEMPT While the deportation order was under review, Garcia, a federal judge in the Western District of Texas, ordered his release from ICE custody after granting his habeas petition on due process grounds, finding that his detention had been unlawful or unreasonably prolonged. The ruling allowed Melendez Diaz to return to Minnesota. On Oct. 9, Melendez Diaz's appeal was rejected, and the Board of Immigration Appeals issued a deportation order against him. Just two days after his deportation order became final, he was charged with rape. Melendez Diaz was charged with felony first-degree criminal sexual penetration involving coercion. He remains in custody and faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted.

The Ukrainian leader's warning came as voters prepared to decide which party controls Congress, a result that could also influence Washington's future response to Russian President Vladimir Putin's almost five-year war in Ukraine. In a post on X, Zelenskyy went on to urge the Trump administration to increase pressure on Moscow, warning that Russia could exploit the elections to target Ukraine's battered energy infrastructure and supply routes. DRONE STRIKE SINKS SHIP IN NATO WATERS AS ZELENSKYY WARNS OF LOOMING ‘MASSIVE STRIKE’ "We have intel that Russia is preparing a new massive attack on our country – primarily targeting energy and logistics," Zelenskyy said in his nightly address. "The assumption is basically that tomorrow the world will be watching the American midterms, and what is happening here in Ukraine, along with our difficulties with air defense and Patriot missiles, will be overlooked." Zelenskyy's warning came hours after Russian forces struck a school being used to distribute humanitarian aid in Komyshuvakha, a settlement in southeastern Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region. At least 26 people, including police officers and first responders, were killed, five others were injured and others remained missing, according to the Ukrainian news outlet Ukrainska Pravda. ZELENSKYY PRESSURES US AND EUROPE FOR MORE 'AIR DEFENSE' ASSISTANCE AMID ONGOING WAR WITH RUSSIA In his X post, Zelenskyy urged the U.S. and its allies to warn Putin that continued attacks on Ukraine would bring serious economic consequences. "We need signals from the world to Russia that will make them feel that terror is no good, that it will bring no gains, and that as long as this war continues, their oil will burn, and they will not be able to make money doing business with the world," Zelenskyy warned. "We must not play games with Russia's oil or gas revenues," he added. "We must put pressure on Russia in such a way that it has no alternative but to end this war. America can do this." TRUMP ANNOUNCES IMMEDIATE ENERGY CEASEFIRE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has sought to negotiate an end to the war with the help of special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have been involved in diplomatic efforts with Moscow. Zelenskyy told Fox News in a Sunday interview that Ukraine would suspend strikes on Russian oil refineries for a month if Washington provided Patriot missile interceptors during the same period, potentially opening the door to diplomacy. The State Department approved the potential sale of 500 Patriot PAC-3 interceptor missiles to Ukraine for an estimated $2.1 billion, according to Reuters. The proposed sale could provide a significant boost to Ukraine's air defenses if finalized, although the delivery timeline is uncertain. TRUMP SAYS US WILL LET UKRAINE MAKE PATRIOT MISSILES IN MAJOR POLICY SHIFT On Monday, Ukraine also accused Moscow of exploiting a U.S.-backed humanitarian ceasefire in Oleshky, in Ukraine's southern Kherson region, to strengthen Russian military positions. Nearly 800 people were evacuated during the six-day humanitarian pause, according to first lady Melania Trump, with the White House clarifying that she helped broker the arrangement. Ukraine's General Staff accused Russian forces of using the humanitarian pause to rotate troops, reinforce their defenses and improve battlefield logistics. "Under the ceasefire introduced for the humanitarian operation in Oleshky, units of the Defence Forces of Ukraine ensured that the ceasefire was observed and acted exclusively within the framework of the agreements reached," the General Staff said in a statement on X. "The enemy, by contrast, used the humanitarian pause to improve its positions."

The Learjet 60 departed Austin-Bergstrom International Airport at about 10:37 a.m. and was headed to North Eleuthera in the Bahamas when it crashed in Palm Beach County shortly before 1 p.m., killing everyone on board. Federal investigators said Monday that weather conditions are a "major focus" of the investigation after the crew reported icing and moderate turbulence at about 35,000 feet shortly before the jet rapidly lost altitude. PRIVATE JET WITH 9 PEOPLE ON BOARD CRASHES JUST MILES FROM MAR-A-LAGO The National Transportation Safety Board also said there are preliminary indications that the aircraft may have begun breaking apart before impact. The cause of the crash has not been determined. INVESTIGATORS ZERO IN ON POSSIBLE CAUSE OF WISCONSIN PLANE CRASH THAT KILLED 6 As investigators work to determine what caused the deadly crash, details are beginning to emerge about some of the nine people who were on board. Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras was an aspiring commercial pilot from Palm Beach County who earned her private pilot's license at 17, before she got her driver's license. Filgueiras trained through her high school's aviation academy and later graduated from American Flyers flight school. 4 FLORIDA FAMILY MEMBERS FOUND DEAD AFTER SMALL PLANE GOES DOWN OFF THE BAHAMAS Adam Robinson was an Austin, Texas, tech entrepreneur and devoted father who was traveling with his wife, Helen Sharp, and their two young children.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae915fc726b22deeb69ec22 Día de los Muertos highlight how different cultures mark grief te 2026-11-02T23:00:12.992Z Día de los Muertos highlight how different cultures mark grief CHANDLER – For some, remembrance and mourning of lost loved ones is a communal celebration filled with music, food and altars; for others, mourning is a private encounter.  Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is one way Hispanic communities keep the relationship between the living and the dead present. The holiday stems from Indigenous Mesoamerican beliefs and Roman Catholicism, with celebrations running from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2, where families honor the people or souls who have passed. At Chandler Center for the Arts’ Entre dos Mundos: A Día de Muertos Celebration on Sunday, community members gathered to honor their loved ones, eat food, listen to music and participate in art activities. Attendee Ashley Gonzalez described Día de los Muertos as a time when loved ones who have died return to visit family. Gonzalez said her family gathers across generations to build an ofrenda, a decorated altar for the deceased, and add memories and things their relatives enjoyed in life.  “It’s very important to put loved ones and family members who have passed away because it is a way of remembering them and also for them to be able to come back to Earth and see us and visit us,” she said about setting up her family’s ofrenda. Another attendee, Aurora Kiser, described the holiday as “a way to honor our loved ones in a joyful way and to keep the culture going.” She explained that the ofrenda’s flowers, food and symbols hold meaning for her and made space for her to honor her brother, whose death anniversary fell on the day of the gathering.  With the tradition partially stemming from Roman Catholicism, postdoctoral research scholar at Arizona State University Jesús Cuauhtémoc Villa wondered why there are still so many misconceptions from Americans about this religious tradition.  “Primarily evangelical Christians and conservative Catholics seem to think that La Santa Muerte is involved with the Days of the Dead, or that the Days of the Dead are her special feast day, which is just not true,” Villa said. Items and photos of a loved one sit on the community ofrenda for Día de los Muertos at the Chandler Center for the Arts on Nov. 1, 2026. (Photo by Paige Moore/Cronkite News) La Santa Muerte is a folk saint and a personification of death in Mexican culture, and though she has similar cultural roots and imagery to Día de Los Muertos, Villa said the holiday and celebrations are not about her.    Villa has studied anthropology, religion and transborder communities for years. He also worked as a forensic death investigator and forensic anthropology and odontology lab technician for the Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner. Villa said another misconception is that Día de los Muertos is “Mexican Halloween, which it’s not.” Though he said the two holidays may share distant historical roots, the meanings and rituals behind them are different. He noted that observance takes different forms across Latin America and among families in the United States.  “Tradition exists to guide us and inform us, not to imprison us or enclose us,” Villa said. Practices have evolved across generations and changed with local customs and familial circumstances, but they hold the same central purpose of remembering ancestors, he said.  Samira Jabbar, a Venezuelan attendee at the Chandler event, said the celebration is not practiced the same way across all Hispanic and Latino communities.  “I’m from Venezuela. We don’t celebrate the Día de los Muertos like (they do) here,” she said, describing it more closely with the traditions of Mexican culture. Jabbar is also Arab and Muslim and noted that her religious background has shaped her traditions.  Jabbar said she still enjoys taking part in the celebration through its art, music and color, and she felt that this tradition connected two worlds, life and death. She said she appreciates that it offers a different way to think about death and loss.  End-of-life doula Heather Dreifuss said she plays an important role in not assuming what a family’s mourning should look like. End-of-life doulas offer nonmedical practical and emotional support to people and their families and help them prepare and navigate the dying process.  “If they want a party, we are party planners,” Dreifuss said. “People die, but we still have a relationship with them.”  Dreifuss said it’s never too early to start planning because no one can predict when they’re going to die. She said that when one dies, though their physical form has changed, their families can still connect to them.  “Whether it’s talking with them, having little altars or creating mandalas … that tends to help a lot with that relationship piece. … (It) really calls them into the space,” she said.  Crowds dance to Mariachi music on Día de los Muertos at the Chandler Center for the Arts on Nov. 1, 2026. (Photo by Paige Moore/Cronkite News) Dreifuss said she asks about people’s spiritual and religious practices and traditions, then she supports what they choose. She makes sure to reiterate that death and her work do not always have to be sad. “People hear what I do, and they’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, that must be sad.’ But in reality, there’s lots of joy in the end too.” End-of-life doulas and cultural practices can’t offer the solution to grief, but they can help manage it. “The grief never ends. It’s not something that you can be healed of, but it’s something that you can learn to live with and carry in a healing way,” Villa said, noting that there are things both Anglo-American and Hispanic cultures can learn from each other when it comes to grieving.  Non-Latino communities can “learn a lot about end-of-life care as a communal family effort from Mexican and Latino communities,” Villa said. On the other hand, she said, Latino families might learn from the more individualistic traditions of other communities: “A little bit of that individualism can be a healthy thing in terms of recognizing more of the autonomy and less of obligatory family dynamics.” There is no single way to grieve. For Gonzalez and Kiser, Día de los Muertos offers a place to honor relatives through memories and offerings. For attendee Rosa Ramos, celebrating the deceased can be beautiful.  “It’s OK, they’re gone now, but they’re still in our hearts, and they’re still with us,” Ramos said. “Everyone is just happy and glad to be around each other. Yeah, it’s beautiful.” Cronkite News journalist Paige Moore contributed to this story.

(Photo by Marjorie Perry/Arizona Mirror) Nestled on Arizona ballots below the big-ticket races like governor and congressional representative, but before the ballot propositions that aim to change the state constitution and impose new laws that the legislature either can’t or won’t approve, sit the names of dozens of judges. The jurists aren’t on the ballot as candidates, and they don’t run campaigns where they work to curry favor with voters. Rather, voters are tasked with a choice: keep this judge on the bench or boot them to the curb. And this year, unlike in most past elections, there are concerted efforts to get voters to choose the latter. Driving down the road in the Phoenix area, one passes by a flurry of fonts and a confetti of colors with campaign signs urging passersby to reject a list of judges, part of a growing national and local push for judicial accountability. GET THE MORNING HEADLINES. SUBSCRIBE This year there are a total of 49 Maricopa County Superior Court judges up for retention. The Maricopa County Republican Committee identified 24 judges they think voters should reject. Civic Engagement Beyond Voting, a nonpartisan liberal organization, recommended voters remove seven judges from office. The only overlap between the lists was that both suggested voters reject Judge Julie Mata.  Since 1974, when Arizonans elected to fundamentally change the way judges became judges and adopted the merit selection process, just six judges have been removed from the bench in an election.  Greater attention on judges While judicial retention elections have typically taken a backseat to issues that voters perceive as more pressing, in recent years, interest in judicial performance has increased.  Doug Cole, vice-chair of the Commission on Judicial Performance Review, recently gave an interview with the Citizens Clean Elections Commission, a nonpartisan group that supports voter education.   “There has been heightened scrutiny on the judiciary — we see that across the country, from the U.S. Supreme Court justices going through their confirmation process… it’s trickled down to Arizona, so people are paying more attention,” he said.  In Arizona, the performance of family court judges in particular has come under greater scrutiny following the 2024 deaths of Alec and Lydia Mater at the hand of their father, Brock Mater. Despite a mental health crisis in which Brock absconded with the children and then called 911 on himself, telling police that he “believes his kids are to be sacrificed by him,” the family court judge granted Brock unsupervised parenting time, over the objections of Hope Hooton, their mother. Six months later, Brock shot Alec and Lydia before turning the gun on himself. Abuse claims often aren’t believed by judges Studies have shown that, when mothers try to flag safety concerns, they are met with skepticism from judges and, oftentimes, counter-allegations of coaching from the father.  In a 2019 study, researchers analyzed 4,300 family court cases across the U.S. and found that, when mothers report experiencing domestic violence, less than half are believed. For claims of child physical abuse or child sexual abuse by a father, family court judges reject those allegations at higher rates. Over 80% of child sexual abuse claims and 70% of child physical abuse claims made by mothers were rejected by courts. Similar concerns have been voiced in Arizona. As an example, one can read a complaint submitted to the Commission on Judicial Conduct alleging such behavior, written on law firm letterhead. The CJC is tasked with assessing complaints against judges who are accused of violating the Code of Judicial Conduct. The first cannon states that a judge shall “uphold and promote the… impartiality of the law;” the second cannon reiterates that a judge must “perform the duties of judicial office impartially.”  Many of the complaints connected to family law matters allege judicial bias and unequal application of the law.  One complaint states that the judge applied “drastically heightened scrutiny” of the mother’s claims, whereas the father should be allowed “to do whatever he wants.”  “The (judge’s) in-court conduct…made clear that it did not matter how bad Respondent’-Father’s conduct was or what the law required; Petitioner-Mother was going to lose. The court did not follow the law…did not review or consider any exhibits or pleadings, but instead imposed the decision it arbitrarily determined was best,” the complainant wrote. But the complaints rarely lead to any discipline: Over the past 15 years, according to ABC15, 97% of complaints have been dismissed.  Alec and Lydia are not the only children who have been murdered at the hand of a parent, often in the context of a custody dispute, where one party (often the mother) alleges there was domestic violence.  Andre Leteve, for example, purchased a gun the day his wife, Laurie, filed for divorce. In a note typed in days prior to the murders of Alec, 5, and Asher, 1, Andre wrote: “this should f**k you up for a good long time to come” and “I wonder if you’ll understand what price you’ll have paid for your freedom?”  According to the Judicial Performance Review and Commission on Judicial Conduct, neither has a system of review for such cases, where a custody decision places the child in the care of a parent who kills them.  High scores for judges The Arizona Judicial Performance Review was created in 1992 through an amendment to the state constitution giving the public access to data regarding a judge’s performance. According to a previous JPR report, they have “the duty to provide meaningful and accurate information to (help) the public (make) informed decisions regarding…judges.” The surveys for this retention election were distributed between February and September last year. Surveys are distributed to those who may interact with a judge regularly, such as an attorney who frequently has cases on a judge’s docket, as well as to those who may have a limited scope of interaction with the judge. Survey respondents may include attorneys, litigants, witnesses, peer judges and appellate judges.  The surveys include five categories of evaluation: Knowledge of substantive law and procedure (represented as “legal ability” on survey results) Impartiality (integrity)  Clarity of oral and written communications (communication skills) Judicial temperament and professionalism  Administrative and case management skills/ work ethic (settlement activities)  The majority of judges routinely score high marks based on the JPR survey. This year, for the 83 judges up for a retention vote, all of them met standards.  JPR Chairman William Arthur recently commented on why this might be the case. In a Bench Talk AZ conversation with Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ann Scott Timmer and Arthur, he stated: “These are high-performing people… That is why we see routinely high-performing judges, time after time, cycle after cycle, they have excelled in everything they have done up to the time of their appointment and their goal is to excel (as a) judge.”  On rare occasions, judges have been labeled as not meeting standards after the surveys. In 2024, JPR announced that Judge Jo Lynn Gentry had not met standards. That same year she received a public reprimand from the Commission on Judicial Conduct regarding the delayed response time in a criminal case.  This story was supported with funding by the Fund for Investigative Journalism.

The Knicks won the 2026 NBA Finals by defeating the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in the championship series in June, ending a 53-year title drought for the franchise. Lee, a devoted Knicks fan and critic of Trump, was asked by Variety's Marlow Stern about reports that some players did not want to visit the White House and would rather skip the longstanding tradition. "Apparently, the team owner, James Dolan, who we know is a Trump pal, is trying to force them to visit the White House, but the team doesn’t want to," Stern told Lee. KNICKS OWNER CONFIRMS CHAMPIONSHIP CELEBRATION INVITE TO WHITE HOUSE WHILE SEAHAWKS VISIT ON BACK BURNER "He can’t force them!" Lee replied. "It’s been years since the last NBA team has gone. They’re not going. I hope they don’t go! I hope they don’t go." "Trump also messed up Game 3 of the Finals for the Knicks," Stern argued. "They’d won 13 playoff games in a row until Dolan invited Trump to the game and ruined their mojo." "That was not just an accident!" Lee responded. They were referring to how Trump, a native New Yorker and longtime Knicks fan, was invited to attend the game at Madison Square Garden by Dolan. The Spurs won the game that day, and many New Yorkers, including "The View" co-host Sunny Hostin, blamed the Knicks’ loss on Trump’s attendance. CARDI B CLAIMS DONALD TRUMP’S ATTENDANCE BROUGHT A 'DARK' ENERGY TO NBA FINALS GAME 3 Elizabeth Pipko, host of "Made in America with Elizabeth Pipko" and a former Republican National Committee national spokesperson, told Fox News Digital, "Of course, none of these players should ever be forced to do something they don't want to do. But I think there's a much bigger lesson here, especially for young Americans, and it's one Stephen A. Smith articulated very well after facing criticism for having dinner with President Trump." "You don't have to agree with the president, you don't even have to like him," she continued. "But he is the President of the United States. And if you genuinely care about bringing Americans together, finding solutions, or improving the lives of people in your community, you have to be willing to sit down with people you disagree with." "This is a lesson that’s incredibly important for young men to learn," Pipko added. "These are individuals who have large followings and should be focusing on inspiring the next generation and teaching them about what matters. Spike Lee's position puts political opposition ahead of an opportunity for dialogue, change, or opportunity. Nothing gets accomplished by staying home, refusing to engage, and acting as though you're somehow morally superior to people who disagree with you."

The discovery, announced Oct. 27, was made using observations from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, a newly operational facility located on a mountaintop in Chile. The observatory, jointly funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy's Office of Science, began its 10-year survey of the sky in June 2026, using the world's largest digital camera to search for previously unseen objects. TREASURE HUNTER STRIKES GOLD WITH 1,000-YEAR-OLD DISCOVERY LINKED TO 'HAND OF GOD' Researchers identified the object as 2026 ED138. They estimated it measures between 370 and 930 miles across. "If confirmed, ED138 would be among the largest dwarf planets ever discovered in this region of the Solar System," the observatory said in a statement. On Oct. 13, astronomer Matthew Holman was using computer software he developed with colleague Kevin Napier to search through telescope data collected earlier this year when he spotted the object. "Using this method, Holman uncovered ED138, and he immediately noticed that its brightness and distance indicated that it is unusually large," the observatory said. PUZZLING SOUND IN BACKYARD LEADS HOMEOWNER TO MASSIVE 1,000-YEAR-OLD TREASURE In a statement, Holman described his reaction as "one of excited disbelief." He added, "Objects like this are very rare, so I immediately started checking whether I or the code had done something wrong."  ED138 is currently located about 4.3 billion miles from the sun, farther away than Pluto, which orbits the sun at an average distance of about 3.7 billion miles. Scientists classify ED138 as a trans-Neptunian object, meaning it orbits the sun beyond Neptune, the farthest planet in our solar system. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER As for why the object had not been discovered sooner, officials said it was hiding in a crowded region of the sky near the Milky Way, where millions of stars made it difficult for earlier telescopes to detect. "Rubin Observatory’s regular and continuous monitoring of the entire Southern Hemisphere sky, combined with powerful algorithms that sift through millions to billions of points of light to identify those corresponding to small moving objects, enabled the team to spot ED138 within the crowded field," the statement added. Looking ahead, scientists hope to conduct further observations of ED138 to determine its exact size and whether it qualifies as a dwarf planet. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS "If confirmed as a dwarf planet, ED138 would join a very small family of worlds," Holman said in a statement. "Rubin will image the whole southern sky again and again for 10 years, so any others hiding in the places earlier surveys skipped are now within reach." A dwarf planet is a celestial body that orbits the sun and is large enough to be nearly round; yet unlike a full-sized planet, it shares its orbital region with other objects it has not gravitationally cleared away. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Pluto was considered the ninth planet in our solar system after its discovery in 1930, but was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. The newly identified dwarf planet candidate is among several recent discoveries shedding light on the mysteries of our solar system. Earlier this year, scientists revealed that a meteorite that crashed through the roof of a New Jersey home in 2024 contained some of the chemical building blocks of life and was among the rarest space rocks ever recovered. At the time, researchers said the meteorite contained material dating back more than 4.5 billion years.

I don’t even think it’s debatable," Windhorst said. "There were defensive plays LeBron made at that age. He certainly would get into passing lanes, he certainly would block shots, he was a defensive playmaker, but Cooper is better defensively, empirically; I don’t think that’s debatable." Flagg is averaging 27 points, six rebounds and seven assists during his second season. A phenom of Flagg’s caliber should be a gift to the NBA as some of its biggest stars, including LeBron James, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant, approach the end of their careers. Instead, his rise may expose the worst instincts in sports. Cooper Flagg is White. For some members of the basketball community, that is a problem. Former NBA player Charlie Villanueva is one of them. Villanueva discussed Flagg’s rising stardom on the "To The Baha" podcast last week. According to Villanueva, Flagg cannot become the face of the NBA because of his skin color. "This might sound crazy, but I don’t think in 2026 a White dude could be, I’m gonna be real, could be the face of the league, if I’m being honest," Villanueva said. "Because it’s a Black league, right?" EMBRACE OF WEMBY AS FACE OF THE NBA PROVES RESISTANCE TOWARD JOKIC WAS ALWAYS RACIAL | BOBBY BURACK He then argued that a White player cannot become the best player in the NBA. "When is the last time we’ve seen a White man be the face of the league? Don’t say Larry Bird, they had to pair him up with Magic," Villanueva said. "When was the last time a White man was single-handedly the best player in the league?" That talking point was predictable. OutKick predicted it days after Flagg became the first overall pick out of Duke last season. DAKICH: SPORTS MEDIA HAS CREATED AN ‘INDUSTRY’ OUT OF COMPLAINING ABOUT WHITE ATHLETES LIKE CAITLIN CLARK For the past three to four years, several former Black players comfortably expressed belittling views of White players. The hysteria surrounding Caitlin Clark began with the claim that her popularity and stardom resulted from "White privilege." Black players have called Luka Doncic a "bitch ass white boy" on the court. ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins falsely accused NBA MVP voters of favoring Nikola Jokic because he is white, likely costing him the award in 2023. More recently, Stephen A. Smith claimed a team could not win a championship built around white players. Former broadcaster Mark Jones has posted several bigoted messages about Jokic. Gilbert Arenas has joked about exiling white players from the league. ESPN has published several articles framing Jokic, Clark, and Doncic as "great white hopes," despite the evidence to the contrary. The pattern is obvious. Anti-white bigotry has become accepted and, at times, rewarded in public discourse. It has been normalized since 2020. Notice Villanueva’s wording: The NBA is "a Black league, right?" STEPHEN A SMITH SHOWS HIS PRIVILEGE BY MOCKING LAKERS' ROSTER FOR HAVING TOO MANY 'WHITE DUDES' That view echoes comments from Arenas and others who refer to the NBA as "our" league. These Black players appear territorial about the sport and seem threatened when white players succeed. For context, consider what activist and social media influencer Dr. Umar Johnson said about Eminem in 2023. Johnson claimed Eminem should be excluded from the conversation about the greatest rappers of all time because of his skin color. "No non-African can ever be the best of anything African. It’s an insult to the ancestors. It’s an insult to the race and it’s an insult to every black person." Johnson then claimed the black community should never have allowed Eminem into hip-hop. "Eminem has all the privileges of a white male and all the privileges of being in the hip hop community, so we got to be careful about letting non-Africans into our community." That is the message Black players send about White basketball players: Basketball is their sport. White people are merely their guests. Of course, the premise is illogical. Basketball is not a black space. A White man created it. No sport or musical genre belongs to any race in America. The popularity of both White and Black athletes and entertainers makes that clear. Normal Americans like Eminem for the same reasons they like Tupac, Biggie, or Jay Z. They like Jokic, Clark, Doncic, and Flagg for the same reasons they like LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Kobe Bryant. Unfortunately, people with the largest platforms too often promote an isolated worldview in which race determines who deserves admiration, legitimacy, and power. Flagg could prove particularly polarizing. The usual suspects tried dismissing Jokic and Doncic as international players. Flagg does not give them that option. He was born in Maine. He attended Duke. His charismatic personality also gives him marketing potential that Jokic and Doncic lacked. If Flagg emerges as a true face of the post-LeBron NBA, expect the race idolaters to react accordingly. They will resist him and diminish him with the usual racial buzzwords. They will cast his supporters as racists and sellouts. Sound familiar? Of course, it does. It's the response every great white basketball player now receives. For Flagg, Villanueva's comments were just the beginning.

The "Ghostbusters" and "Groundhog Day" actor was on CNBC to promote his new six-part travel and golf docuseries "A Course Called Ireland," which premiered last week. Later in the program, Murray was invited by "Squawk Box" host Joe Kernen to ask Hassett a question. "I would regret it if I didn’t take this opportunity," Murray said. "Could you just say the words, ‘My dog just died?’ I want to see what happens to your smile." WHITE HOUSE ECONOMIST PROJECTS GDP GROWTH COULD TOP 5% AMID CAPITAL SPENDING BOOM While continuing to smile, Hassett asked, "Oh, well, is it your dog or my dog?" "Your dog," Murray answered. "OK. My dog just died," Hassett said before giving a more neutral facial expression. "We were gonna have someone go take your blood. We’re gonna call them off. Not gonna happen," Murray remarked. Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and Murray's representative for comment but did not immediately receive a response. CNBC ANCHOR THINKS CEOS ARE 'VERY SCARED' TO CRITICIZE TRUMP BECAUSE THE FEAR OF RETALIATION After the exchange, Kernen asked Hassett if he had a favorite Bill Murray movie. Hassett answered that "Groundhog Day" was a "fantastic" film and "one of the top five movies ever made." Murray joked that other political figures likely agree with him, recalling an exchange he had with former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno about her time at the Department of Justice. "She said, 'Bill, the first thing I do to everyone at Justice [Department] is I show them that movie and I say this is what your job is going to be. 'Groundhog Day,'" Murray recalled. BILL MURRAY IS THE ULTIMATE SPORTS DAD AS SON LUKE LEADS UCONN TO FINAL FOUR AFTER DEFEATING DUKE Hassett agreed with the sentiment, likening the idea of waking up on the same day to polling ahead of the midterm elections. "It seems like every election, everybody's angry at each other. Everybody thinks this side is going to win. That side's going to win. And when it comes to Election Day, it feels like it could go either way," Hassett said.

Reagan Wilson, a junior at Fryeburg Academy, and Morgan Clark, a junior and varsity soccer captain at Windham High School, addressed a news conference at the Maine State House in Augusta alongside advocates seeking a statewide vote on sex-based eligibility rules. "Many girls and women are discovering the crushing disappointment that comes from being beaten in their own sports by males who should have never been allowed to compete in the first place," Wilson said. TRANSGENDER ATHLETES HAVE TAKEN 2,293 CHAMPIONSHIP SPOTS FROM BIOLOGICAL WOMEN, NEW RESEARCH FINDS Wilson, who said she has competed in swimming, cross-country, indoor and outdoor track, soccer and softball, described facing transgender competitors across multiple seasons. "During my cross-country season, I competed against a biological male in many of my races. Most recently, I competed against a male playing on an all-girls soccer team," she said. "This is unacceptable and has deprived me and so many other girls of equal opportunity to compete and win." Clark, who said she has played soccer in Maine since she was 4, described the issue moving from something she encountered online to something affecting her own team. COLORADO SCHOOL PARENTS SOUND ALARM AFTER DAUGHTERS WERE CUT FROM VOLLEYBALL TEAM WHILE TRANS ATHLETE PLAYS "Last year, this sort of thing was something I only saw online, but now it’s something that I’m seeing in my own field," Clark said. "If it can happen to me, it can happen to you." Clark pointed to an October tie against a team whose results had improved substantially over the previous season. "In October, our team tied against a team we’ve easily outranked in past years, a team with a male athlete," she said. Windham played South Portland to a 1-1 draw on Oct. 1. The Portland Press Herald reported that South Portland finished the previous season 3-9-2 and 14th in the regional Heal point standings. A draft complaint provided to OutKick identifies a transgender player on South Portland’s girls’ soccer team as the focus of the athletes’ allegations. A scoring chart supplied for the planned complaint credited the player with 15 goals and 10 assists through South Portland’s Oct. 27 playoff game. The draft alleges that Maine’s eligibility policies deprive female athletes of equal competitive opportunities. It also describes Wilson’s previous experiences in cross-country and indoor track and field. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! At Monday’s news conference, Alliance Defending Freedom attorney Tavia Bruxellas McAlister said the organization would file a Title IX complaint that day on the girls’ behalf with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights. The draft seeks an investigation of the Maine Department of Education, Maine Principals’ Association, South Portland School Department and Windham Raymond School District, along with changes to eligibility policies and remedies for alleged past violations. Both Windham and South Portland were eliminated in regional semifinals Friday, ending the possibility of another meeting during this year’s playoffs. The draft says both girls intend to play varsity soccer again next year and expect to face the South Portland athlete. Maine’s policy dispute with the federal government predates the girls’ planned complaint. The Education Department announced a Title IX noncompliance finding against Maine in March 2025, and the Justice Department sued the state’s education department the following month over transgender participation in girls’ sports. Maine officials and the MPA have defended their approach by citing the Maine Human Rights Act, which protects against gender-identity discrimination. The MPA’s published policy allows transgender students to compete according to either their birth sex or gender identity, but not both. In June, the Supreme Court upheld state restrictions on transgender participation in girls’ and women’s sports. The Court expressly left unresolved whether schools may allow transgender athletes to participate on female teams, the separate question underlying Maine’s dispute. The athletes appeared as referendum organizers announced another attempt to put restrictions before Maine voters. Leyland Streiff, principal officer of the Protect Girls Sports in Maine ballot committee and a leader of Maine Girl Dads, said the group was submitting 4,836 additional signatures toward a place on the 2027 ballot. Its earlier petition fell 532 valid signatures short of qualifying for this year’s election after a legal challenge and review. Additional signatures would require state validation. The proposal would base eligibility for designated school teams and access to bathrooms, locker rooms and other private spaces on sex recorded on students’ original birth certificates. It would also allow students to sue over qualifying violations. Clark said she hopes the effort changes the experience for her teammates and other girls. "I hope that this referendum helps girls like me and my friends play the sport that we love fairly and safely," she said.

The 5-2 Bears head to Seattle to face the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks on Monday Night Football. Underdog is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS to play $10 and get $50 in bonus entries. Chicago has been the best bet in football this season. The Bears are an NFL-best 5-2 against the spread, they’ve won two straight, including a 30-24 win over New England, and Caleb Williams has given them efficiency and mobility at quarterback. A win in Seattle would put them in the conversation for the top seed in the NFC and one of the early Super Bowl favorites.  Seattle is 4-3 and hasn’t looked like the team that won it all last season so far in the early going. The Seahawks are 2-3-2 ATS overall and 1-1-2 at home. But, the Seahawks are coming off a convincing home win over the Chiefs. Mike Macdonald’s defense is still the backbone, and the last thing Seattle wants is a shootout that puts the game on Sam Darnold’s shoulders. Lumen Field on a Monday night is still one of the toughest places to play in the league. Williams is the obvious starting point. His legs make his rushing line worth a look, and the Bears have shown they’ll lean on him in big spots. Chicago’s backfield could be thin, with Kyle Monangai missing practice with thumb and toe injuries, so check his status before locking anything in. On Seattle’s side, it comes down to whether Darnold has time to find his weapons against a Bears defense that’s been opportunistic all season.

Betr is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS to get $200 in bonuses and four sweat-free picks for Bears vs. Seahawks. The Bears are 5-2 and have covered five times, the best mark in the league. They’re coming off a 30-24 win over New England and going for their third straight win. They’ve also been solid on the road, covering two of three away from Soldier Field. Seattle won the Super Bowl last season, but the Seahawks are 4-3 and 2-3-2 against the spread this year. They’re just 1-1-2 ATS at home, which isn’t what you’d expect from a team that plays in one of the loudest stadiums in the league. Mike Macdonald will want to keep this game in the hands of his defense rather than ask Sam Darnold to win a shootout. Caleb Williams is the headline. His ability to make plays on the move puts his rushing number in play, especially in a primetime road game where scrambles tend to show up. Keep an eye on Chicago’s backfield, where Kyle Monangai missed practice with thumb and toe injuries. On Seattle’s side, Darnold’s passing line comes down to protection against a Bears pass rush that’ll be fired up for a national audience.

No team in the league has covered more often, and the Bears have done it on the road too, going 2-1 ATS away from home. 1-1-2: Seattle’s ATS mark at Lumen Field. The defending champs haven’t turned their home field into the edge it usually is, and they’re 2-3-2 ATS overall. 3 of 7: Bears games that have gone over the total. Chicago has mostly played tight, controlled games, which fits what Seattle wants to do on Monday night. Mike Macdonald’s best path is a low-scoring game where his defense dictates terms and Sam Darnold doesn’t have to carry the offense. Chicago wants the opposite. Caleb Williams has been efficient and dangerous on the move, and the Bears are riding a two-game win streak after beating New England 30-24. The injury to watch is in Chicago’s backfield. Kyle Monangai missed practice with thumb and toe injuries, and a thinner run game would put even more on Williams in a hostile building.

They’ve won two in a row, including a 30-24 win over New England, and Caleb Williams has played with the poise of a quarterback who’s ready for this kind of spotlight. Getting a field goal against a team that hasn’t dominated at home is a big part of the appeal. The Seahawks are the champs, and Lumen Field on a Monday night is still one of the hardest road trips in the league. Mike Macdonald’s defense can turn this into a grind, and Chicago could be short-handed in the backfield with Kyle Monangai banged up with thumb and toe injuries. If Seattle keeps the game low-scoring and protects Sam Darnold, laying three at home looks reasonable. The number sits at 46.5. Only three of Chicago’s seven games have gone over, and Seattle wants to keep this one from becoming a shootout. That makes the total as interesting a bet as the side.

Large Tuscan-style homes with two-car garages sit behind pristine yards. Residents jog along well-maintained paths as the summer heat finally starts to relent. A country club overlooks the golf course, where carts whiz from hole to hole. Behind them, 230 goats eat their way through grass and brush. A goat grazes a plant behind a backyard at The Preserve at Saddlebrook in Saddlebrook, AZ on Oct. 27, 2026. (Photo by Gisela Contreras/Cronkite News) Passing drivers call out, “Look, it’s the goats!” as workers load the herd into a trailer, then release them into another area to graze. Andrew Stanford does his best to keep the animals moving in the right direction. “With me, with me, come,” he calls to Orion, a herding dog whose enthusiasm sometimes sends goats away from where they are supposed to go. “He’s still learning,” Andrew says, guiding the miniature Australian shepherd to the back of the herd. Andrew and his wife, Heather, operate Natures Surprise Ranch, an Arizona targeted grazing business that hires out goats and sheep to clear vegetation. Their work ranges from overgrown yards to common areas in communities such as SaddleBrooke TWO, where the animals graze near homes and a golf course. The couple said their herd has grown from 30 to roughly 250 in two years. Many of the animals were given to them by owners who could no longer care for them. “It’s still not enough,” Andrew says, as they try to keep up with demand. Heather Stanford, left, and Andrew Stanford herd their sheep and goats into their trailer to graze at their next location at The Preserve at Saddlebrook in Saddlebrook, AZ on Oct. 27, 2026. (Photo by Gisela Contreras/Cronkite News) Before becoming professional goat scapers, Heather worked in a restaurant while Andrew did tile work. A friend asked if they could bring their goats to clear out his overgrown property in Oracle. The couple initially turned down the offer, worried about the cost of fencing and equipment. When they finally said yes, word quickly spread and neighbors started calling. Both now run the business full time, taking jobs across Arizona. At SaddleBrooke, they work with a crew to manage and move the herd. They estimate the animals grazed about 25 acres of land there over the last two months. The goats chew down grass, shrubs and cactus in each fenced area. Their manure helps return nutrients to the soil as they feed, but whether it’s more effective than traditional landscaping depends on the plants and the timing of grazing. Flavie Audoin, a University of Arizona assistant professor and rangeland management specialist, studies those factors. She defined targeted grazing as selecting livestock and controlling when, where and how long they graze in order to accomplish a specific vegetation goal. On Tucson’s “A” Mountain, Audoin worked on a project using sheep to reduce invasive buffelgrass. The project involved one round of grazing followed by an herbicide treatment.  Audoin said grazing reduced the amount of herbicide needed afterward, but more research would be necessary to determine whether grazing alone could control the buffelgrass. “Targeted grazing overall is just a tool in your toolbox,” Audoin said. At SaddleBrooke, the animals race out of the trailer and straight into a buffet of vegetation. Taller goats pull down branches, bringing the leaves into reach of smaller ones.

(Photo by Gisela Contreras/Cronkite News) Ray Parham, who works for the Stanfords, helps move fencing and set up water stations. He typically comes out every four or five days, depending on how quickly the herd works through an area. He said the animals’ pace surprised him. “They stay moving, they’re like little machines,” Parham said. Neighbors regularly stop or come out of their homes to watch, taking pictures of the herd with their phones. Sherri Grupe, secretary of the SaddleBrooke TWO homeowners association, praised the Stanfords’ work in an email. “I can tell you all the members absolutely love them,” Grupe wrote. “Amazing what they accomplish in a single day.” Targeteding grazing has also found a market at solar farms, where tall vegetation can cover panels and dry plants can fuel fires. The American Solar Grazing Association’s 2024 census reported that about 129,000 acres were grazed at more than 500 solar sites nationwide. Kevin Richardson, the association’s senior director, said those contracts give farmers a paycheck and their flocks a place to eat. “If you have a small farm and there’s a solar site nearby, whether it’s a big one or small one, it’s a great source of supplemental income,” Richardson said. Goats graze a plant behind a backyard at The Preserve at Saddlebrook in Saddlebrook, AZ on Oct. 27, 2026. (Photo by Gisela Contreras/Cronkite News) Max Wade, owner of Galloping Goat Grazing in New Mexico, brings goats and sheep to small solar farms to eat weeds and brush. The contracts allow him to raise his livestock without buying land himself, which he said he cannot afford. He manages about 1,000 goats and sheep, and employs five people full time. “I’m able to do all of these things and I don’t own a lick of land of my own,” he said. Grazing can still cost as much as mowing or more, Wade said, because the animals need food and care between jobs. The upside to the animals is their ability to improve soil health and encourage more manageable plants to grow, reducing the need for future maintenance.  For both Wade and the Stanfords, the demands are worth being able to do something they love, and their passion is apparent in the attention they show their animals.

Students will take on the roles of attorneys, witnesses, jurors and other courtroom participants during a mock trial Wednesday at the school. Doors open at 5 p.m., and the trial begins at 5:30 p.m. It is open to the public. The fictional case centers on missing money from a school fundraiser, giving students a chance to practice public speaking, teamwork and critical thinking while learning how the justice system works. Their preparation included a field trip to the Superior Court in Florence, where a judge welcomed the students, led a courthouse tour and answered questions. She also gave them an opportunity to practice for the mock trial and offered feedback. Students observed several juvenile dispositions and part of a murder trial, seeing courtroom procedures and the roles of judges, attorneys and jurors firsthand. “Seeing the justice system in action brought our classroom lessons to life in a way that a textbook or classroom discussion alone could never fully capture,” said civics teacher Jake-Ryan Latham.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae90347726b22deeb69b938 Battleground Dem touts bipartisan record, but can’t name single issue she’d work with Trump on te 2026-11-02T21:40:23.294Z Battleground Dem touts bipartisan record, but can’t name single issue she’d work with Trump on A Democratic Senate candidate in Minnesota touted her bipartisan record Sunday but could not name a single issue she would work with President Donald Trump on, instead accusing his administration of "continued grift." The exchange came as Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, Minnesota’s Democratic Senate nominee, campaigns against Republican Michele Tafoya in a race Republicans see as a rare opportunity to flip a traditionally blue state. Flanagan’s answer underscored the sharply partisan nature of the Minnesota race, where she has cast Tafoya as a rubber stamp for Trump and pledged to oppose the administration at nearly every turn. "I just want to be really clear that I’ve got a long track record of working with folks on the other side of the aisle," Flanagan told Fox News' Bill Melugin when asked if there were any policies she could see herself working with Trump on. Flanagan pointed to her work at the Children’s Defense Fund–Minnesota and her time in the Minnesota Legislature, where she served alongside a Republican majority and helped pass bipartisan legislation, as evidence of her ability to work across the aisle. "I think that, you know, that proves that I have the ability to work with folks," she continued. PEGGY FLANAGAN DEMANDS EXPANDING THE SUPREME COURT AND ABOLIHING ICE Flanagan’s bipartisan pitch comes against the backdrop of a campaign built around opposing Trump’s agenda. She has called for dismantling ICE, passing Medicare for All and reversing the administration’s Medicaid and SNAP cuts, while accusing Trump of using the presidency to enrich himself. "Right now, I’m deeply concerned about the Trump administration, the continued grift, making money hand over fist directly from the Oval Office," she continued in her response to Melugin on whether she would work with Trump on anything. The Democratic Senate candidate went on to tell Melugin that what she has been "hearing" on the campaign trail is that voters want someone who will be a "check" on Trump, not his ally. "They’re interested in whether people are going to be a check on this guy, and roll back some of the devastating cuts and impacts on Minnesota," Flanagan concluded in her answer about working with Trump. "That’s the place I’m going to start." Flanagan is facing Republican Michele Tafoya, a former NFL sideline reporter who has turned the race into a referendum on the massive fraud scandal that unfolded under the Walz administration. Tafoya has argued that Flanagan, who served as Walz’s No. 2 as lieutenant governor, should share responsibility for the scandal, while also tying her opponent to progressive positions including Medicare for All and dismantling ICE. MN SENATE CANDIDATE RIPPED FOR BLAMING WALZ FOR FRAUD DESPITE BEING HIS #2: 'KNOWS SHE'S COOKED' The race has become unexpectedly competitive after Tafoya narrowed the gap in Minnesota, prompting Fox News to shift its rating from "Likely Democrat" to "Lean Democrat." "The more that Minnesotans learn about me and my opponent and see what my opponent has failed to do over the last eight years alongside [Democratic Gov.] Tim Walz, they're understanding Minnesota needs change. We need fresh ideas, we need an independent thinker and they're jumping on board," Tafoya said in a Fox News Digital interview. Flanagan has repeatedly tied Tafoya to President Donald Trump, whose approval ratings are well underwater in Minnesota. "Michele Tafoya is all in for Donald Trump — and he's all in for her," Flanagan said last month in a social media post. But Tafoya appears to be putting some daylight between herself and Trump, as she highlights her support for abortion rights. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER "I’m a pro-choice Republican not afraid to stand up to my party," Tafoya says in a new campaign commercial. "When Trump is right, I will work with him. When he is wrong, I will stand up for Minnesota." While the ad drew opposition from some Republicans, including Mercedes Schlapp, a senior fellow at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump subsequently signaled support for Tafoya at an Ohio rally he headlined. "You have to vote for Michele Tafoya, who’s a very respected person," the president said. Fox News Digital's Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.

Haley Stevens, D-Mich., during a discussion on Monday about the Democrat's decision to endorse Michigan Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers over Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed, pushing back against critics who called the endorsement a betrayal. Co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro both argued that Stevens endorsed Rogers for the wrong reasons, with Hostin saying, "Shame on her," if the move was motivated by a bruised ego. Stevens said during an interview on Sunday that it was El-Sayed's "anger" and "lack of kindness" that led her to endorse Rogers. "I disagree. And I actually think that, although there’s a lot of Islamophobia here that are muddying the waters, there are deep concerns about his beliefs," Haines said. "Campaigning with Hasan Piker, you could not put enough room between me and that man. And we went after the Republicans for going around with Nick Fuentes, also problematic."  "We have got to know when we denounce someone," she continued. "And if crossing party lines can be an act of conscience for Liz Cheney, I don’t know why the automatic response was that this was betrayal somehow."  EL SAYED'S LEFT-WING ALLIES ATTACK 'EVIL' STEVENS AFTER BOMBSHELL ROGERS ENDORSEMENT Haines, a registered independent, said Stevens' decision was "brave." "Integrity is not just backing your party when you support your party," the co-host added. "The real test is backing them when it costs you something. I keep hearing, 'Donald Trump is so dangerous,' and that is true, but that can’t end every conversation we have about what we’re willing to accept on our own sides."  "Honestly, the hateful rhetoric and demeaning language, I don’t have to agree with a candidate on everything at all, and compromise is absolutely necessary, but you cannot loan your loyalty and support out to a party," Haines continued. "They must earn it every single time. And that’s why this was actually a very brave thing for her to do." FORMER RIVAL DODGES FULL-THROATED EL-SAYED ENDORSEMENT AFTER BITTER SENATE PRIMARY Democratic strategist Kaivan Shroff told Fox News Digital in a statement, "Haines’s defense is hard to square with the facts. I was one of the early Democrats who said El-Sayed needed to put real distance between himself and Hasan Piker. And he did. He said Piker did not speak for his campaign, stopped campaigning with him, and reportedly even called him directly to say his rhetoric was hurting the campaign and counterproductive. That all happened well before Haley Stevens’s last-minute endorsement."  "So Haines is using an issue El-Sayed already addressed to excuse this wild switch-up, while openly acknowledging the Islamophobia on the other side and then instantly brushing past it," he added. Shroff argued that Haines was treating hate from one side as disqualifying, but not the other, and said, "That is not principled, balanced, or reasonable. It is just a glaring double standard." Co-host Whoopi Goldberg brought up the timing of the endorsement as Haines argued that El-Sayed had also told Stevens he did not want her to campaign with him. Navarro reiterated that she believed Stevens' decision was motivated by El-Sayed's reluctance to have her at the event. HALEY STEVENS' FIANCE HAMMERS EL-SAYED, SAYS HE'LL VOTE FOR ROGERS Fellow co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said that Stevens had raised "real issues" about antisemitism. Griffin also compared Stevens endorsing Rogers with Liz Cheney endorsing former Vice President Kamala Harris earlier in the segment. "We shouldn’t just praise independents when Liz Cheney breaks with Republicans, because she thinks that’s the principled position. If this woman feels this is the principled position for her, she has every right to do that," Griffin said. Fox News Digital reached out to the El-Sayed and Rogers campaigns for comment but did not immediately receive a response. Shroff argued the Cheney comparison did not hold up, telling Fox News Digital, "Cheney crossed party lines because of Trump’s conduct and her stated concerns about democracy. Stevens, by contrast, says she is crossing party lines because she cannot tolerate hate, yet she is endorsing Mike Rogers in a race where anti-Muslim hate has been Rogers’s central campaign strategy." "Moreover, Haley still maintains that Republicans — folks like Mike Rogers — are allowing Trump to act as a ‘dictator.’ It just doesn’t add up any way you try," he said.

They Were Right. te 2026-11-02T21:40:05.063Z Tribal Leaders Warned Border Wall Construction Would Disturb Native American Remains. They Were Right. This story was originally published by ProPublica. Lorraine Eiler stood in the blazing August sun, surrounded by reporters, to offer a warning. The Trump administration was racing to erect a second border wall across Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, southwest of Tucson. If the bulldozers came, she said, they were bound to disturb the final resting places of her family and Hia-Ced O’odham tribal ancestors. “People used to live here,” the 89-year-old said. Fifteen days later, her fears were realized. ProPublica has confirmed that Native American remains were unearthed in Organ Pipe amid soil overturned by border wall contractors. The discovery, unreported until now, was made on Sept. 8, the National Park Service said in a statement. “Following established protocols, the University of Arizona conducted an assessment and confirmed that the remains are human and align with tribal cremation practices,” the agency said. The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act governs the steps agencies must take following an inadvertent discovery of Native American remains on federal land. Those steps include halting any activity that contributed to the discovery until tribal communities are consulted. “The National Park Service is committed to respecting tribal rights and traditions,” the agency went on to say, adding that it was “working diligently to identify the culturally affiliated tribe and ensure the respectful return of the remains, so the tribe may observe their religious and cultural practices.” Eiler was alerted to the discovery by a cultural affairs specialist with the Tohono O’odham Nation, a larger tribe whose reservation is east of Organ Pipe, and later by the Organ Pipe superintendent’s office. Her family discussed what to do next. Ultimately, they decided to hold off on reburying the newly unearthed remains until construction in the area stops, fearing the work will disturb more sites. “​​Who knows what more will come up,” Eiler said in an interview. “They’re going to find remains wherever they dig.” Lorraine Marquez Eiler, a Hia-C’ed O’odham elder, listens as Tohono O’odham Chairman Verlon Jose speaks during a news conference at the Quitobaquito Springs site on Monday, Aug. 24, 2026. Credit: Stephanie Casanova Customs and Border Protection contractors have bulldozed a wide swath of vegetation parallel to the international divide. The agency has fashioned staging areas for heavy equipment by knocking down, uprooting and attempting to transplant select specimens of the monument’s native plants. Eiler was told the remains were found by a park service archaeologist near the base of a saguaro cactus that was still standing. In a statement, CBP said it was advised of the discovery six days after it was made, that its cultural resource specialists examined the area and found no other remains, and that “no additional construction has occurred at this location to date.” The discovery comes amid tensions between the Department of Homeland Security and tribal communities in the Sonoran Desert. In April, border wall contractors bulldozed through a large, well-marked earthen etching, known as the Las Playas Intaglio, that was believed to be at least 6,500 years old. (CBP said the incident was accidental.) Soon after, the department awarded a $1.3 billion contract for construction of a 62-mile border wall across the entirety of the Tohono O’odham Nation. The tribe is fighting the project in federal court and has erected “no trespassing” signs to keep border wall contractors off its land. As ProPublica recently reported, DHS has responded by deploying masked federal agents as escorts for its work crews and conducting aerial surveillance of tribal members. The head of CBP has justified the need for a wall by describing the reservation as “one of the most dangerous smuggling and trafficking corridors on the Southwest border.” Verlon M. Jose, the tribe’s chairman, expressed gratitude that the park service had notified his office of the discovery, but mourned the fact that it was necessary. “When you have mass destruction and disturbance of land taking place where there are clearly sacred sites, cemeteries and other areas of cultural importance, these types of discoveries are bound to happen,” Jose said in a statement. “Every time this happens it is a wound to the heart of all members of the Tohono O’odham Nation — these are our ancestors, our family members — whose remains are being desecrated.” U.S. Rep. Adelita Grijalva, who appeared with Eiler and the chairman at the August news conference, blasted the government for failing to heed their warnings. “Tribal leaders and elders have warned DHS about the devastating consequences of bulldozing through their ancestral lands, beginning with the destruction of the Las Playas Intaglio,” she said in a statement. “For months, those warnings have fallen on deaf ears. Now, we are seeing exactly what they feared: sacred sites destroyed and ancestral burial grounds desecrated.” James T. Watson, curator of bioarcheology in the Arizona State Museum at the University of Arizona, analyzed the remains recovered in Organ Pipe in the field. While he was not authorized to discuss the details of his findings without park service approval, Watson said in an email that he confirmed the remains were human. The evidence suggested they were cremated in a manner consistent with precolonial practices in the region dating back 1,500 years, he wrote.  Under NAGPRA, the graves protection act, Native American remains inadvertently uncovered on park service lands must be immediately secured, Watson explained, and the superintendent of the jurisdiction must notify “all relevant lineal descendants” with “potential cultural affiliation or ancestral ties to the land.” “Work in the immediate discovery area must remain suspended for at least 30 calendar days,” he wrote, while the park service consults with tribal representatives “to determine the disposition and physical treatment of the remains.” The border wall construction in Lochiel Arizona on Sept. 23, 2026. Credit: Mason Kumet In a region as rich with archaeological sites as the American Southwest, the inadvertent disturbance of Native American remains occurs with some regularity. What sets the discovery in Organ Pipe apart are the extraordinary powers the Department of Homeland Security wields to expedite wall construction in the borderlands. Following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Congress passed the Real ID Act, which included a provision empowering the secretary of DHS to waive any law that might slow border wall construction. In the two decades since, DHS has invoked its powers 66 times, with 60 of those instances occurring under President Donald Trump’s two administrations. When DHS uses this authority, it typically waives dozens of laws at a time. That was the case in 2019 when the department set its sights on Organ Pipe. A waiver issued by then-acting Secretary Kevin K. McAleenan set aside more than 40 of the nation’s most stringent environmental and cultural resource protection laws, including the National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act and others. Also on that list was the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, the landmark 1990 law that acknowledged the nation’s long history of desecrating Native American burials and required that ancestral remains and cultural objects be returned to tribes. In an internal 2019 report obtained by The Washington Post, park service officials identified nearly two dozen archaeological sites in Organ Pipe as at risk of damage or total destruction by government contractors. Of particular significance is a desert oasis known as Quitobaquito Springs. Less than 200 feet from the international border, the springs provide one of the only reliable sources of groundwater and shade for miles around, and they were a longtime gathering place, grazing site and home for O’odham families. “Archaeological evidence of human presence at Quitobaquito extends back thousands of years, at least to Archaic times,” the survey found, adding that the springs represent the “only known Hia C-ed O’odham village site in the United States.” A park service report in 2024 noted that a cemetery at Quitobaquito holds the remains of at least two families, including Eiler’s, and 34 graves. Throughout the region, remains of 5,500 ancestors that were displaced have been made available for return to the Tohono O’odham Nation, according to ProPublica’s NAGPRA database. “This sort of incident has happened numerous times across our homeland, and it’s always alarming to hear about a case from an O’odham point of view,” said David Martínez, a professor of American Indian and transborder studies at the University of Arizona and a member of the Hia-Ced O’odham and Akimel O’odham tribes, as well as the Gila River Indian Community. “Those remains shouldn’t have been disturbed in the first place,” he said. “While there are protocols existing today to properly care for these remains, ultimately, whatever either the government or the corporate world is pursuing to build, we know that at some juncture that construction will continue, and it always leaves us feeling, I think, a little hollow.” Today, Quitobaquito lies in the shadow of the border wall erected during Trump’s first term. Its construction required detonating explosives in the national monument, blasting apart an area called Monument Hill and outraging tribal leaders. According to Eiler, the remains recovered in September were not found at the springs, though government work crews are working in close proximity to the site. This year, DHS hired Sundt Construction, an Arizona-based company, to build a second wall in the monument. The $443 million contract was finalized in May. (Sundt directed questions concerning the discovery of human remains on its job site to CBP.) According to CBP, the 2019 waiver for Organ Pipe is still in effect, years after completion of the project that prompted it. A second waiver, exempting DHS from many of the same laws and applying to the national monument as well as a wildlife refuge to the west, was issued by Homeland Security’s then-Secretary Kristi Noem last year. “Unfortunately, there is no end date to the effectiveness of the waivers,” said Dinah Bear, a Tucson-based lawyer who served for 25 years as a senior attorney in the White House’s Council on Environmental Quality under both Democratic and Republican administrations. What’s more, she added, “there’s nothing in the statutory language that ties the waivers to a particular project.” The Department of Homeland Security’s waiver powers have been central to a high-profile legal fight over the department’s efforts to build a border wall through Big Bend National Park in West Texas, with a federal judge overseeing the case recently ordering a temporary halt to the project. Borderlands advocates in Arizona are hoping for similar interventions. In Congress, Grijalva is preparing legislation to void existing waivers that have allowed DHS to disregard laws designed to protect tribal sovereignty, sacred sites and environmentally sensitive lands. In the meantime, construction on the border continues. For Eiler, it’s not just the destruction in Organ Pipe that’s troubling. She sees the disturbance of tribal graves resulting from wall construction as reflective of a wider pattern of destruction across the border. “It’s sad because it’s not only happening down there,” she said. “It’s happening all over the United States, and nobody’s saying much about it.” The post Tribal Leaders Warned Border Wall Construction Would Disturb Native American Remains.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae900ec726b22deeb69b897 Kirby Smart clarifies comments after taking shot at how much college football players are making te 2026-11-02T21:30:20.512Z Kirby Smart clarifies comments after taking shot at how much college football players are making Several years into the name, image, and likeness era, college football fans are now familiar with most of the resulting changes happening across the sport. Parity within the major conferences is rapidly increasing, with the gaps between teams dropping dramatically. Players who used to commit to sit on the bench at Alabama under Nick Saban or Ohio State under Ryan Day are now bringing in bigger paydays to start at smaller schools. For good reason. The combination of NIL and the transfer portal has made rebuilding a program overnight more realistic than it's ever been. Curt Cignetti turned the Indiana Hoosiers from an also-ran into an undefeated, National Championship-winning behemoth in just two seasons. Bob Chesney came to UCLA from James Madison and overnight, made the Bruins into a legitimate College Football Playoff contender, sitting at No. 5 in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll late into the season. THE CIGNETTI EFFECT IS REAL: INDIANA FOOTBALL SPARKS AN UNBELIEVABLE 'REVIVAL' IN BLOOMINGTON But Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart may have tacitly admitted to another result from the NIL era: a lack of motivation and aggression for the week-in, week-out grind of major conference college football. After the Bulldogs easily handled the Florida Gators 27-8, Smart was asked about the number of injuries his team is dealing with, and whether playing a tough SEC schedule could contribute to it. And his answer was revealing about the state of modern college football, particularly with the amount of money that's now floating around it. "Everybody is practicing less, but everybody’s getting injured more," he said. "I think about the teams we had in ’21 and ’22, and how physical they were and how they practiced. We can’t even get close to that now," Smart added. "If it’s a different culture that guys don’t want to as much, I don’t know. They were definitely hungrier, because there was a motivation to make it. A lot of these guys, honestly, they make more than I did until I was 40. It’s just a different day and age." SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER It's an important insight that may have been obvious, but is frequently unsaid. Players may not feel the need to improve as much as they used to, because they're not fighting for the NFL payday down the road, they're already making significant money. It's human nature, and likely true, but it's one of the perhaps unexpected ancillary outcomes of players now being able to earn money for their contributions. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Still, Smart's comments received some blowback, with some adding that Smart's doing pretty well financially, and that coaches have frequently displayed a financially-motivated lack of loyalty or commitment to stick with their teams. If they can benefit from the money being generated by college football, why shouldn't the players putting themselves on the line benefit as well? Unsurprisingly, he clarified those comments on Monday, saying he thinks it's "awesome" that young athletes are able to earn money in college sports now. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! "I don’t want to come across as whining," he explained. "I think it’s awesome that players are getting paid. I wish they were being paid when I played because then maybe I wouldn’t have had to get a $5,000 job for the summer trying to work. But that is none of my concern. It is more long-term effect of earning power, what is the value of a dollar, do I actually know how hard it is to go out in the real world, and gotta go work for $60,000? That outlook can be tough on guys. But the earning power they have while they’re here, more power to them." Again, it's an obvious fact that 18-year-olds now able to make that much money, or far, far, more is going to have some other side effects. Motivation being one of them. But like all jobs and careers, if they fail to live up to expectations, because of a lack of motivation, it can all change in the blink of an eye. Smart added that it's now even more important to evaluate how a player will respond to making that kind of money, and whether it'll impact their ability to contribute moving forward. "That still is an art in recruiting and decision-making: Are you recruiting the right kinds of kids that will not be affected by that," Smart said. "We used to deal with that all the time when I was at Alabama, when you’d have an (NFL) scout come in and say, ‘Well, is him being a first-round pick or second-round pick going to change him?’ That’s your job to decide that, not mine. "Well, now it’s our job to decide as coaches. Do you have the right kind of people in your program who will be motivated for the team, and the culture of the program?" The broader point, he added, was about the change in roster limits also impacting the ability to practice with more physicality. When the 2025 House settlement limited rosters to 105 players instead of effectively unlimited, coaches were less willing to go all out in practice and risk injuries. That, Smart believes, is part of the change to college football. Maybe it's both. Maybe it's none of it, and it's just random variance. It's hard to know, in the modern era, with how many changes there are seemingly week-to-week. Given the chaos this season has brought already, at least the increase in parity has made for more exciting television.

We fell back yesterday morning. We're now less than 24 hours out from the midterms. Down here in Florida, it literally has not stopped raining since Saturday night. I've lived through dozens of hurricanes and millions of summer storms in my 30 years in the Sunshine State, and I've never seen anything quite like this. Just constant rain. Every road is flooded. My yard and the lake behind me are indistinguishable at this point. I have to use four-wheel drive to get down my dirt road, and even then, it's dicey. As for tomorrow's election ... So far today — and it's noon at the time of this writing — I've received 14 different texts and three calls. Some folks think Florida is turning blue. Others think we'll have this thing wrapped up by dinnertime. My official prediction, as OutKick's unofficial Florida guy: We'll stay red, but it won't be the landslide we've grown accustomed to. On a concerned scale of 1-10, I'm around a 4.6 right now. I was 0 in 2024, and 2 in 2022 for reference. Anyway, let's talk sports for a bit and leave all that other nonsense behind.

So, I hopped in my boat and drove down the street to the Panera to work. I come here once in a while, mainly because the WiFi is better than most and I can get a cup of coffee for $2. Anyway, I've dabbled in lunch a few times over the past few months, and I gotta say — Panera sandwiches are top shelf. People like to give Panera crap for being too pricey or too corporate, and I usually agree with that crowd. But not here. They have a new French Ciabatta Dipper out right now that'll blow your mind. Not an ad, by the way (although I wouldn't mind if it was). Just figured I'd help everyone out on this first Monday of November. Good? Good! Now, let's get this week started with Miami Dolphins rookie corner Chris Johnson whiffing on a sack so badly yesterday, I thought my TV glitched. Seriously: Goodness gracious. I've watched it 50 times and I still can't believe it's real. Heck, I watched it LIVE and seriously thought I was missing something. I saw him come around the end unblocked, and thought Drake Maye was about to die. At worst, it was going to be a sack. At best, I figured it'd be a strip-sack going the other way for a Dolphins touchdown. There was no scenario in which Johnson ... missed. Amazing. Now, to be fair, he's a rookie. He's also had a really good season, including a great play later in the drive that should've been fourth down stop, but the refs stink so they ruled it a first down. It wasn't, but that's neither here nor there. Regardless, it was an all-time whiff. I've watched football for 30 years. I don't recall seeing a whiff quite like that. Dolphins football in 2026, I reckon. Tank on! Next? I've said all year that I think college football has been a superior product to the NFL this season, and I still believe that. This upcoming Saturday is shaping up to be the greatest Saturday slate of all time. BUT ... as my old boss once told the entire company at a Christmas town hall before laying off half the office six months later, "I see some storm clouds on the horizon." Holy cow. I'm not going to share every post from that thread because I don't want to bog us down, but my goodness, it's ugly. Some of those empty stadiums are completely understandable. Maryland, for instance. The Terps stink, they just fired their coach, and they have no business being in the Big Ten. I get that one. Why in the world would anyone go to a Maryland game? But, it wasn't just the bad teams ... LOOK at the crowd for an actual ranked matchup between Texas Tech and Arizona: Or, for PENN STATE: Lordy. As I usually do on a Monday, I'd like to open this up for debate. What do you think is going on with college football attendance? TV ratings are good. The product on the field has been good. What's the deal? Me? I think the regular season has been watered down because of the playoffs, and I think — above all — folks have no real connection to these players anymore. These big programs don't have any more homegrown talent. It's all transfer portal kids. And they're all richer than most fans in attendance. The connection has been lost, and that connection is what made college football so great. Let me know! Zach.Dean@OutKick.com. OK, on the way out, let's all congratulate the WNBA champion Golden State Valkyries! I mean, it's just the perfect way to put a bow on this WNBA season. Listen to that crowd! They genuinely could not care less if they tried. Even the insufferable PA announcer is BEGGING them to get louder, and it's pointless. What a moment. What a season. OK, that's it for today. Good start to the week, folks. Good start to the month. Let's all suffer through these next 48 hours together, and put this election in the rearview. On the way out, here's Charley Hull dumping out some SI Swimsuit content from a boat in Ibiza. Let's have a big week.

"I’ve definitely hired security," Cunningham said on her "No Hesitation" podcast with basketball trainer Drew Hanlen. "And they’re going to start traveling with me actually next week, 24/7." Cunningham said the attention has spread well beyond the places where basketball fans previously recognized her. "Now it’s like it doesn’t matter what state, what city," she said. "It’s everywhere." The disclosure follows her appearance on Theo Von’s "This Past Weekend" podcast, where she said she believed the FBI was watching approximately 20 people over concerns involving her. Cunningham did not identify those individuals or explain the agency’s involvement. Her estimate and description of the FBI’s role have not been independently verified. JACKSON THOMPSON: SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM CLAIMS FBI IS WATCHING 20 PEOPLE FOR HER, ON WNBA ANTHEM CONTROVERSY In June, Indiana prosecutors charged Kevin Singh with felony stalking and intimidation and misdemeanor harassment in a case involving Cunningham. According to court documents cited by The Associated Press, Cunningham told investigators that the unwanted contact had caused her to have nightmares and stay home more frequently. The charges were allegations. On "No Hesitation," Hanlen brought up her earlier stalking comments while asking how her increased visibility had changed daily life. He said he also receives hostile messages over his association with her. Cunningham described online critics as people with "so much hatred in their heart," but said the larger adjustment has been figuring out how to maintain an ordinary routine. "You have to kind of find a balance of getting away and making sure that you’re filling up your own cup," she said. She said she remains willing to take photographs and sign autographs, but has started asking people to wait until she finishes eating. "After I’m done eating, like I will sign whatever you want. I will take whatever picture you want," she said. "But right when you say yes to one person, I’m not kidding. It’s like a revolving door. It is non-stop." Even trips home can leave her feeling she has spent more time entertaining strangers than visiting relatives, she said. FEVER 2026 TIMELINE: HOW CAITLIN CLARK, SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM AND RIVALS LIKELY CHANGED THE WNBA FOREVER "I would say the boundaries is probably the biggest thing that you have to learn," Cunningham said. The episode also featured Cunningham taking another shot at the WNBA’s selection process for its 3-point contest. Asked whether she would rather win that competition or "Dancing with the Stars," Cunningham chose the television show while questioning whether her shooting could earn her a contest invitation. "I think with a three-point competition, it’s just like so clearly like political. They’re going to choose random people," she said. "So, it doesn’t matter how good I do, I probably will never get chosen for that." Cunningham shot 41.9% from 3-point range during the 2026 regular season and was not among the six players announced for July’s contest. The WNBA’s announcement highlighted the selected players’ rankings in made 3-pointers, with all six ranking in the top 10 entering play July 21. Cunningham did not specify what she meant by "political" or identify a particular person responsible for her exclusion. She also called for a tougher approach to coaching after Hanlen suggested some coaches do not push young female players as hard as their male counterparts.

She credited demanding coaches who cared about their players and refused to let them fall short of their potential, while arguing athletes need to accept correction. "You can’t expect to be great and reach your fullest potential if you can’t handle someone correcting you," she said. "I do think that coaches are too soft on athletes nowadays," Cunningham added. "Athletes, take the ownership," she said. "It’s okay for someone to chew your ass a little bit. That’s part of it because that’s what makes athletes great."

A group of people in Redwood National Park had a front row seat to some nature when a couple of bucks smashing antlers came tumbling down the side of a hill. The hikers were "just exploring the Redwood forest" when the nature arrived. After sliding across the boardwalk, the two deer resumed their battle just a few feet away from the group, who, let's be honest, were way too close for comfort. The deer tossed each other around the woods a little, you know classic rutting season behavior, before launching each other over the side of another small hill.

Experts and voting rights advocates are bracing for the potential of federal influence over the results of next week’s midterm elections. (Photo by Jack Dura/North Dakota Monitor) As concerns rise about the potential for federal influence over the results of next week’s midterm elections, many voting experts and advocates remain confident that the nation’s highly localized systems of administering and counting votes will persevere. Facing sinking approval ratings over high prices, the White House has amped up attacks on state-administered elections: In recent weeks, the federal government sued Alaska and California to intervene in their elections and demanded election officials in Washington state pull aside ballots of 400 alleged noncitizens — laying the groundwork for a high-stakes showdown at the U.S. Supreme Court.  For months, state officials have been planning for federally induced electoral chaos in the form of federal law enforcement or immigration agents at polls, election investigations or attempts to overturn unfavorable results.  But the nation’s vast network of state and local election offices is resilient by design, said Mai Ratakonda, program director of election protection at States United Democracy Center, a nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to fair elections. Election officials are prepared for close races, recounts and potential interference, she said. And she noted courts have largely blocked President Donald Trump’s efforts to intervene.  “There’s no one person or agency or office that controls our elections as a whole,” she said. “Instead, it’s thousands of nonpartisan election officials across the country that are administering these elections … Even if there are attempts by certain individuals to try to interfere with the election process, there are a lot of safeguards in place, and this isn’t the first time that state and local officials will have to deal with those kinds of issues, unfortunately.” At stake is not only whether Republicans will maintain their grip on Congress, but also control of state governments across the country, which could provide a new check on Trump’s power. Trump, who still has refused to acknowledge his 2020 election defeat, has sought to cast doubt and seize control of elections for years. His administration has aimed to nationalize elections, purge voter rolls, restrict mail-in voting and raise alarms without evidence about an epidemic of noncitizen voting. Since the chaos and insurrection that followed the 2020 presidential election, experts and advocates have worked to boost confidence in state and local election administrators, who operate a patchwork of highly decentralized — and scrutinized — voting systems. In recent weeks, Republicans and Democrats have pledged to operate fair and free elections regardless of how national politicians react. “We all took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution and laws of the state we live in, and we take that oath very seriously,” Mary Hall, the auditor of Thurston County, Washington, told reporters during a briefing with other election administrators Wednesday. “And I would not break that oath for anyone.” Hall, a Democrat, noted her Olympia-area district is home to a portion of one closely contested congressional district that could determine control of Congress. The Republican Party has invested deeply in that race as it looks to hold onto power in D.C. “I don’t feel any pressure from them,” Hall said, “and if they want to try and insert pressure, I really don’t think I would respond to it in any way because we have a job to do.” ‘We can handle the pressure’ New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan, a Republican, said the federal government’s actions have proven to be more of a distraction than an outright obstacle. He’s not expecting any major problems and said he’s ready to resist any outside pressure as the state is home to tightly contested races for both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House.  “I am confident that the results that are going to come out of New Hampshire are going to be accurate,” he said. “And those are the results I’m going to stand by.” Scanlan noted the Granite State is accustomed to heightened electoral attention because of its first-in-the-nation presidential primaries.  “So, we can handle scrutiny, we can handle the pressure,” he said, “And I think New Hampshire is going to do what it does best, and just have a good, solid election that the voters here can have confidence in.” Concerns are so serious that a group of U.S. national security officials has been discreetly advising state governments and congressional lawmakers how to prepare for potential interference from Trump, The Washington Post reported. That group includes about 10 current and former officials with experience in the Defense Department.  But voters shouldn’t be dissuaded by the federal government’s rhetoric, said former Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar. A Democrat who now consults on election security and administration issues, she said every state has laws designed to ensure safe and secure elections. Boockvar expects that the federal government will attempt to sway unfavorable election results. But she doesn’t think those efforts will work.  “Election officials at every level are all about the rule of law,” she said. “They know the law in their jurisdictions. They know the processes in their jurisdictions, and they have to follow them.” She said election administrators come to work every day with a singular purpose: to ensure every eligible voter can cast their ballot. Even if certain officials wanted to change results, she said systems are designed with strict protections that don’t have “a lot of wiggle room.” And the courts would likely block any baseless efforts — as they did repeatedly during Trump’s 2020 election denial campaign.  “I think the institutions will hold,” she said.  In 2020, Georgia Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger resisted pressure from Trump to alter the outcome of the presidential election there.  This week, Raffensperger pledged that Georgia’s election process would prove open and transparent. The U.S. Department of Justice plans to send election monitors to six Georgia counties, all of which are considered Democratic strongholds. But Raffensperger said poll watchers from both parties and the nonpartisan Carter Center will be monitoring elections alongside federal officials.  “It’s a transparent process, and we’re not concerned at all,” he told reporters on Monday. Deep preparation Like many local government workers, employees at Arizona’s Pinal County participated in tabletop exercises this year to see how they would react to all manner of Election Day chaos. Called “Ballotship,” the gamified exercise considered everything from power outages to disruptive protestors.  This year’s preparations included the potential for federal involvement, said Dana Lewis, the Republican county recorder.  “We know that there comes a certain amount of chaos, confusion, but that’s probably why we’re all heavily caffeinated, and we’re good at it,” she said, “because we’ve gone through several of them, and we work through it.” Since 2020, Lewis said, election skepticism has increased in her central Arizona community. And the office has seen big turnover among election administrators and poll workers. But she’s worked to open up the voting process, showing how elections operate and underscoring the fundamental commitment to getting the results right — no matter the outcome or outside pressure. Quotation In no which way, shape or form will that kind of tomfoolery happen here. – Dana Lewis, Republican county recorder of Arizona's Pinal County “It’s an interesting time that we’re in, but no matter what, there is something to be said about putting your hands on a Bible and taking an oath to uphold the Constitution that I very much take seriously,” she said. “And my job in this role is to follow the law, and I will continue to do that and I will do it transparently. My staff also understands that, and in no which way, shape or form will that kind of tomfoolery happen here.” The deep preparation for all manner of election complications in jurisdictions such as Pinal County have helped build more resilient systems that are able to respond quickly to a slew of Election Day hiccups, said Alex Gulotta, Arizona state director for All Voting is Local, a nonpartisan organization working to protect voting access at the local level. But like other states, Arizona is home to politicians and election officials who still refuse to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election. Among the most prominent is Justin Heap, the Republican recorder of Maricopa County, the state’s most populous county and home to Phoenix. All Voting is Local put Heap on its list of the nation’s “Top 10 Most Dangerous Election Deniers” because of his insistence that “inconsistencies and illegalities” occurred in previous Arizona elections. Heap’s office did not respond to a Stateline request for comment.  But Gulotta said even a powerful and controversial figure such as Heap does not have the ability to alter election outcomes because of Arizona’s bifurcated system. Arizona law divides election duties between county boards and recorders. “Not everyone understands all the mechanics of how this system works and the level of checks and balances that are built into it,” he said.  He does worry that close congressional races could lead the federal government to pressure certain counties not to certify election results. “To me that’s the biggest risk,” he said, “and the biggest antidote to that is overwhelming turnout that reduces the likelihood that we have races that are that close.” 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/6ae8f2fb726b22deeb69b3e7 From backyard to ‘Big League,’ Western Wiffle Ball Classic showcases sport’s community, growth te 2026-11-02T20:30:51.694Z From backyard to ‘Big League,’ Western Wiffle Ball Classic showcases sport’s community, growth SCOTTSDALE – During a time when an eerie quietness ruled the world, one backyard still made noise – filling the silence with cheers, whistles and the whir of spinning Wiffle balls.  In search of a way to cure his COVID-19 boredom, a then 13-year-old Logan Rose brought friends, plastic bats and plastic balls together for games in his yard.  Who could have imagined that those backyard competitions would lead to a real league – and more. Still only 20-years old and a sophomore at Southern Methodist University, Rose is not only the founder and CEO of Big League Wiffle Ball, he and his family now own the iconic American brand and manufacturing business behind the dancing perforated balls and yellow bats. The Wiffle Ball Inc.  In October, Rose and his family bought the trademarked Wiffle business from the Mullany family, which had owned it since David N. Mullany founded the company in 1953. The owners of the 73-year-old Connecticut-based brand had been stretched too thin, and now the Roses hope to stabilize and build the company in their new roles – with Logan as CEO and his 17-year-old brother Carson serving as chief growth officer. “The league itself was really me,” Logan said, recalling how the enterprise expanded beyond his backyard into a Big League Wiffle Ball. “It wasn’t anything crazy at the time, so it was a good skill to learn. Schedule games, communicate with everyone; we launched a tournament in 2020 as well.” From loosely organized games and creative YouTube videos, to the construction of Big League Wiffle Ball, Logan’s commitment stayed consistent – with his cousin Luke Rose noting how those early efforts paid off. “Even when it was the fun YouTube videos, it was him grinding hours and hours of editing videos when it didn’t even really matter,” Luke Rose said. “Just for the fun of it – and to see the passion and then see cool opportunities blossom.” Arthur Smith of Cooperstown Boys team sits on the grass and opens packs of wiffle ball player cards on Oct. 24, 2026 at the seventh annual Western Wiffle Ball Classic at Scottsdale Stadium in Scottsdale, Ariz. (Photo by Kendall Makuta/Cronkite News) Although Logan was at the forefront of the league’s development, Wiffle ball is a Rose family affair. His brother Carson began playing the sport as a toddler – competing against relatives and learning the skills required to play baseball. “As long as I’ve been alive, I’ve played,” he said. “My first steps were actually to a Wiffle ball bat.” Physical steps became metaphorical ones, with the Roses advancing the sport from level to level, with those backyard roots sprouting the Western Wiffle Ball Classic tournament.  Over the past six years, the classic has been held at Scottsdale Stadium, the spring training site of the San Francisco Giants. Since the beginning, attendance and activities have varied, with the first few years hovering at around 20 teams. This year’s event attracted approximately 45 teams. In the early stages, one challenge for the Roses was enticing people to come to Arizona, which didn’t have a lot of history in Wiffle ball events.   “Getting the word around because Wiffle ball in Arizona hadn’t happened really with tournaments,” Carson said, remembering what the family was up against. “There’s big tournaments all around the country, but there’s a pretty small crowd here for it, so we kind of had to just grow it.” A noticeable shift took place during the 2025 edition of the Western Wiffle Ball Classic – which was also Big League Wiffle Ball’s Opening Day – when the brothers screened “Field of Dreams” and partnered with actor and Los Angeles Naturals team owner Kevin Costner.  For the 2026 classic, celebrity participation continued, with the Home Run Derby taking on a new look. Participants paid $10 for 60 seconds of hitting, with the top 16 advancing. Those competing included Valley favorites such as Arizona Coyotes legend Shane Doan. “(The Home Run Derby) will help with getting people to be ultra competitive,” Carson said. “People trying to go compete and play multiple times, and try to qualify against these guys because anyone wants to go hit against Shane Doan.” Roman Basurto, a participant in this year’s Western Wiffle Ball Classic, enjoyed the community aspect of the event. Basurto played alongside his little brother and embraced the feeling of “having that kid dream of just playing baseball in the backyard.” “It’s so fun, just bringing the kid outside of me, seeing everybody smile,” Basurto said. “That’s what it’s all about. Just everyone having fun and just enjoying the moment, being in the moment.” Big League Wiffle Ball’s community is established and expanding, and the Roses hope advancements will continue since they acquired The Wiffle Ball Inc. The league and manufacturing business will remain independent but share the same goal of advancing the sport across all ages and cities.  “It is great to be able to own the intellectual property of the league,” Carson said. “There’s no other sport in the world that has that, so that’ll be super, super beneficial.” Wiffle ball has progressed in the hands of the Roses, with the family’s league serving as the centerpiece of the sport – and their ambition has no limit, as they continue to move the sport forward.  “We see what we’ve done with the league as essentially the pinnacle of the sport,” Logan said. There’s a lot of room for growth in building out the actual sport of Wiffle ball.” Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae8f2f1726b22deeb69b3cc HCH Pet of the Week: Misty te 2026-11-02T20:30:41.931Z HCH Pet of the Week: Misty Around 5 years old and 65 pounds, Misty has settled into shelter life with remarkable grace.

Vance’s role in the midterm blitz has been eyed by many top GOP strategists and insiders who say his actions on the trail could offer insight into what a 2028 run might look like for the 42-year-old vice president. "Vice President Vance is constantly on the road," House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., told Fox News Digital. "I believe he's been in just shy of 50 battleground districts and or states this cycle. He's been a workhorse. I mean you look at Donald J. Trump, who's out there constantly. He just doesn't stop. And of course, people don't maybe notice than the vice president is keeping a schedule himself that is frankly incredibly impressive." EXCLUSIVE: INSIDE VANCE'S INTIMATE CAPITOL HILL HUDDLE AS REPUBLICANS CONFRONT TOUGH MIDTERM TERRAIN Vance has held 19 rallies since the GOP midterm convention in early September and dozens of events across the country prior to the convention in Dallas. His role in the midterm has fueled further speculation about his potential run for president in 2028. Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer explained that his midterm campaign efforts add to his resume, but that his fundraising abilities and his role as finance chair of the Republican National Committee will also be an important advantage that Vance would have in a run for president. SECOND LADY USHA VANCE KEEPS 'OPEN MIND' AMID JD VANCE 2028 SPECULATION "I think which makes this vice president unique, though, is that it's a combination of the policy chops that you just mentioned, but the political chops," Spicer told Fox News Digital I've noted this over and over again that, like, he is the first vice president to ever be the finance chair of the RNC." "His network of donors is going to be a massive advantage if he runs in '28," he added. TRUMP TOLD DONORS 'WE NEED TO ELECT JD,' SOURCE CONFIRMS, AS HE WEIGHS VANCE OR RUBIO IN 2028 Vance has repeatedly told reporters that he is focused on his current portfolio of work and has shied away from questions concerning a potential run for the Oval Office. He is, however, the favorite in several prediction markets. President Donald Trump told reporters in late October that he is focused on the midterms before looking at which Republican may run in 2028, saying: "It’s early. We are very early right now. We have to get through the midterms. We’ll see how it goes." As for the work Vance is doing off the campaign trail, former White House Chief of Staff and former RNC Chairman Reince Priebus compared the responsibilities of former Vice President Kamala Harris to Vance, saying that Vance has had to take charge of more key issues — from leading the anti-fraud task force to negotiating a peace deal in the Middle East. "If you compare it to the portfolio of Kamala Harris, whose first job was to secure the border, it ended up being a complete and total disaster," Priebus told Fox News Digital. "He's a trusted administrator of huge problems facing our country. So that is very clear. He's a little bit of a whiz kid too." POLL FLASHES WARNING SIGNS FOR REPUBLICANS IN 7 BATTLEGROUND SENATE RACES Pollsters predict that Democrats have an edge in the House as the midterms approach, while the Senate remains "on a knife edge," according to Priebus. The former RNC chairman noted that traditional red and blue waves are far rarer now that in previous midterm elections, noting a smaller number House seats shift between parties every cycle. THE NINE KEY RACES THAT WILL DECIDE WHO CONTROLS THE SENATE, AND WHERE THEY STAND "There are so few districts in our entire country that are up for grabs," Priebus said. "At 435 house seats, how many are really in play? Maybe 30? And in those 30, there's probably only about 5,000 votes in each of those 30 that could go either way. So, that's why you have ripples, I think, nowadays and not waves. The Senate races are all on a knife edge." While President Trump is known for hosting a staggering number of rallies, Vance’s increased presence in the midterm blitz has led to his name emerging alongside President Donald Trump as the face of the party, according to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. "I think a lot of people have seen him in the shadows of Donald Trump, not as an individual campaigner," Meadows told Fox News Digital. "But as someone who would continue the Trump legacy." THE ONE LINE FROM JD VANCE’S GOP KEYNOTE THAT REVEALS HIS VISION FOR AMERICA "I think for the first time, a broader spectrum of people are seeing JD Vance as the campaigner, and not as a campaigner for him personally," Meadows said. "And, you know, I point out that most of his dynamic interactions have not been in Iowa or New Hampshire or South Carolina." GOP members of Congress have also noted the increased presence of the vice president as they fight to maintain the majority in the House. Rep. Brandon Gill, R-TX, told Fox News Digital he traveled with Vance to Texas and noted the impact that the vice president had in the state. "Kamala Harris couldn't go out and campaign for people because nobody would want to see her," Gill said. "The American people love Vice President Vance. I mean, at all the rallies I've been out with them, they were packed, people were fired up." The vice president held two rallies ahead of the midterm on Monday, one in Rome, New York and the other in Swanton, Ohio – advocating for GOP congressional candidates and pushing for the Republicans to maintain the majority. "Take your friends, take your neighbors, take your grandparents. Get out there and let them know that we are going to send a message that America belongs to those who love it, not those who hate it," Vance told voters in New York on Monday.

Between Oct. 18 and Oct. 24, state surveillance logged 60 new infections, with the Tampa Bay area accounting for roughly 95% of all locally acquired cases recorded statewide, according to the Florida Department of Health. The surge prompted emergency declarations in Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties in late September, allowing for faster purchasing and spraying and requests for state and federal reimbursement. Hillsborough County has since extended its state of local emergency amid ongoing transmission. DENGUE FEVER OUTBREAK TRIGGERS STATES OF EMERGENCY IN 3 SOUTHERN COUNTIES The locally acquired infections are separate from more than 300 travel-associated dengue cases reported in Florida this year. The Florida Mosquito Control Association said mosquito abatement teams are stepping up targeted ground spraying, aerial applications and localized property inspections. Dengue is a viral illness transmitted primarily through the bite of infected Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. The virus can cause fever, severe muscle and joint pain, nausea, rash and, in severe cases, dangerous complications or death, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Unlike many mosquito species that bite mostly at dawn and dusk, the mosquitoes carrying dengue feed aggressively during daytime hours and thrive in humid residential environments. DEADLY MOSQUITO-BORNE VIRUS CLAIMS FIRST LIFE IN MAJOR US CITY AS CASES SPREAD "The Aedes mosquitoes that can transmit dengue are active during the day and thrive in warm, humid environments like those found in Florida," an entomologist spokesperson at the SC Johnson Center for Insect Science and Family Health previously told Fox News Digital. "Staying aware of local mosquito activity and consistently protecting against bites are important steps people can take to help reduce their risk." CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES Public health officials emphasize that Aedes mosquitoes are "container breeders," requiring as little as a tablespoon of standing water to lay eggs. Officials urge residents to inspect yards weekly and drain or cover birdbaths, gutters, planters, discarded tires and outdoor containers. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ Health authorities recommend taking the following additional precautions. Most people infected with dengue experience mild or no symptoms, typically recovering within two weeks, according to Mayo Clinic. When symptoms do occur, they usually surface four to 10 days after an infectious bite. Severe dengue can progress rapidly within 24 to 48 hours after the initial fever drops. Warning signs include persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, mucosal bleeding and extreme lethargy.

"This isn’t retirement, but it is a trip to the injured list. Hopefully not an extended one. Struggles with multiple health issues in recent months lead me to take an indefinite leave of absence from my PTI and NBA duties at ESPN and ABC," Wilbon began. CARTON MOCKS KANSAS CITY CHIEFS AFTER HEARTBREAKING WEEK 8 LOSS - DOWNLOAD NOW "Probably, I should have listened to medical professionals and people closest to me, yep Kornheiser included, who saw worrisome signs in recent years that suggested I take time away earlier. But I didn’t." Wilbon did not specify which medical issues he is facing. He has previously spoken about managing diabetes and complications from the disease. He co-hosted "PTI" from his home in Arizona last Monday but was absent for the rest of the week. Most importantly, we want to send our best wishes to Michael Wilbon. Speaking personally, it has been an honor to get to know him professionally. OutKick has had the pleasure of interviewing Wilbon on several occasions. He is one of the greatest sportswriters and commentators of this generation. And it's not cliché to say he's an even greater person. One would be hard-pressed to find someone in this industry more universally respected by his peers, viewers, readers, and contemporaries. Scott Van Pelt provided OutKick a comment on Wilbon's importance to the industry as both a professional and a person: "I grew up reading him in the Post, never imagined we’d be colleagues and friends. Because he’s old school in the best of ways, he’d roll his eyes at the idea he’s revered by all of us, but he is. I hope he sees the outpouring and allows it to land in a way that serves as fuel to feel a bit better," Van Pelt said. Other sports media commentators wished Wilbon well Monday, referencing his influence on them: Clay Travis: "Get well. One of the all time greats at writing and TV." Josh Pate: "I always learn something when Michael Wilbon talks…here’s a big get well soon to someone I hope is around for years to come 🫡."

Dan Wetzel: "Best of health to Michael Wilbon, whose talent, intelligence and work ethic have made him one of the greatest sports columnists AND sports commentators of all time." ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro also issued a statement in support of Wilbon. "Michael and his family have ESPN’s full support as he takes time away to focus on his health and well-being. He’s an important member of our ESPN team and widely respected by his peers, sports fans and so many others throughout our industry. "We are here for Michael every step of the way and look forward to welcoming him back whenever he is ready." Honestly, knowing Wilbon just a little and having followed his career, he would despise how long we have already spent writing about his announcement. He will be back. Toss Up: Will Wilbon be back before or after the average timeline is for someone dealing with these complications? Well before.

With four weeks remaining before the Big 12 Championship game on Dec. 4 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, seven teams sit within two games of the conference lead.  No. 3 Utah (8-0, 5-0 Big 12) emerged from Saturday’s games as the conference’s lone undefeated team after defeating the Bearcats, 49-25, at Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati. The No. 3 ranking is the Utes’ highest since on Oct. 18, 2015. Utah achieved its highest ranking ever after the 2008 season by defeating Alabama 31-17 in the Sugar Bowl to rise to No. 2. No. 7 BYU and No. 13 Texas Tech remain one game behind at 4-1 in conference play after beating Arizona, while the No. 24 Wildcats, No. 17 Houston, Baylor and Oklahoma State are all tied at 3-2 in conference play. The remaining schedule presents several opportunities for contenders to improve their positions, while others face increasingly difficult paths to the title game. Utah entered Saturday facing a Cincinnati team that had handed Texas Tech its first loss of the season a week earlier. The Utes avoided a similar upset, building a commanding 42-6 halftime lead behind quarterback Devon Dampier and a defense that scored twice. Dampier threw for 260 yards and three touchdowns, while Utah finished with 534 yards of total offense. The victory moved the Utes up three spots in the Associated Press Top 25 and set up one of the conference’s most consequential remaining matchups. Utah hosts No. 7 BYU on Saturday in the Holy War, with the Cougars looking to tie their rivals in conference losses. BYU narrowly avoided another setback Saturday, defeating Arizona State 27-20 in Provo, Utah. After an upset loss in Orlando to Central Florida last week, the Cougars faced a tough test from the Sun Devils, who started freshmen Jake Fette at quarterback and Cardae Mack at running back. Despite recording six first-half sacks, BYU struggled to put Arizona State away. The Cougars needed a late 95-yard touchdown drive to preserve their advantage, securing a victory that kept them tied with Texas Tech for second place. “There’s things we need to improve on,” BYU coach Kalani Sitake told reporters following the victory. “We’ll celebrate this and figure things out and try to get back on it and improve for next week, because we’ll need to be for that one.” The Cougars’ next opponent presents a significantly greater challenge. A victory over Utah would give BYU a head-to-head advantage over the Utes and potentially create a three-way tie near the top of the conference standings, depending on Texas Tech’s result against West Virginia. Texas Tech, meanwhile, rebounded from its first defeat with a 34-26 comeback victory over Arizona, handing the Wildcats their second conference loss. The Red Raiders trailed 17-10 at halftime before quarterback Tommy Castellanos helped turn the game around. Castellanos threw two touchdown passes and rushed for 117 yards, while Texas Tech accumulated 328 rushing yards. Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita threw for 417 yards, but the Wildcats managed just 12 net rushing yards against the Red Raiders’ defense. Texas Tech’s victory moved it to 7-1 overall and 4-1 in Big 12 play, strengthening its position in the conference race. The result was particularly damaging for Arizona, which fell two games behind Utah and now has conference losses against BYU and Texas Tech. The Wildcats host TCU on Nov. 7 before welcoming Utah to Tucson the following weekend in what will be a critical matchup for their Big 12 and College Football Playoff hopes. While Arizona faces the conference leader, Texas Tech has a potentially favorable remaining schedule.  The Red Raiders face West Virginia, Oklahoma State, Baylor and TCU, none of which are currently ranked. With either BYU or Utah guaranteed to take a conference loss Saturday, Texas Tech has an opportunity to improve its standing without facing another ranked opponent. Oklahoma State, however, experienced the weekend’s most damaging upset among the leading contenders. The Cowboys fell 51-49 at Iowa State on a last-second field goal, dropping to 5-3 overall and 3-2 in conference play. The Cowboys took a 49-48 lead with 53 seconds remaining, but Iowa State drove into field-goal range and Kyle Konrardy converted a 34-yard attempt as time expired. The loss knocked Oklahoma State out of the AP Top 25 and into a four-way tie for fourth place in the Big 12 standings. The Cowboys still have an opportunity to improve their position when they host Texas Tech on Nov. 14, their only remaining opponent that is currently ranked. Baylor also remains in contention, although the Bears face one of the most challenging closing schedules among the conference’s contenders. In their first game under interim coach Joe Klanderman, the Bears defeated UCF 41-9 on Friday, one week after the Knights upset BYU. Quarterback DJ Lagway threw for 319 yards and four touchdowns as Baylor improved to 5-3 overall and 3-2 in conference play. The Bears host Iowa State before facing three consecutive ranked opponents: No. 7 BYU, No. 13 Texas Tech and No. 17 Houston. Those matchups provide opportunities to gain ground directly against teams ahead of or tied with Baylor, but leave little room for another loss. Houston, which had a bye over the weekend, could benefit from a considerably easier remaining schedule. The Cougars (6-2, 3-2 Big 12) have no ranked opponents left with games against Cincinnati, Colorado, West Virginia and Baylor remaining on the slate. However, Houston’s losses to Utah and Texas Tech could prove costly if the conference race ends in a tie requiring head-to-head tiebreakers. Arizona State, despite falling to 4-4 overall and 2-3 in conference play, could still influence which teams reach Arlington. The Sun Devils host Oklahoma State on Nov. 21 before visiting Arizona for the Territorial Cup on Nov. 28, giving them opportunities to disrupt the championship hopes of two contenders. With Utah and BYU preparing for the Holy War, Texas Tech navigating a favorable closing stretch and four teams sitting at 3-2, the Big 12 is still up for grabs. Utah controls the conference lead for now, but Saturday’s rivalry showdown could dramatically alter the standings.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae8ee46726b22deeb69b220 Pentagon's top spies tasked with 'no-fail' mission as Hegseth puts foreign midterm meddling in crosshairs te 2026-11-02T20:10:46.396Z Pentagon's top spies tasked with 'no-fail' mission as Hegseth puts foreign midterm meddling in crosshairs Ever since the 2016 presidential election that first got President Donald Trump elected and the ensuing Russiagate scandal, there has been increased scrutiny on foreign meddling in U.S. elections and threats to the American voting system. Now, 10 years later, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is directing his entire intelligence and spy forces on ensuring foreign adversaries do not interfere in Tuesday's midterms. The Pentagon chief has ordered America's military intelligence and cyber agencies to mobilize against foreign threats to the 2026 elections by directing his department's sprawling intelligence apparatus to make election security a priority in what he calls a "no-fail mission." The September directive reaches beyond U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency, instructing the entire Defense Intelligence Enterprise — including agencies responsible for military and geospatial intelligence — to "mobilize every authorized asset, capability, and partnership" against foreign election threats. HOW TO WATCH CRITICAL 2026 MIDTERM ELECTION RACES IN TX, OH, MI, WI, GA, IA, NV, ME AND FL The order puts some of the military's most sophisticated intelligence capabilities behind a mission that has grown considerably since Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election. But with Americans preparing to vote, the extent to which Hegseth's directive has changed the Pentagon's existing election-security operations remains unclear. The Department of War declined to provide Fox News Digital with additional details about how the order is being implemented. Cyber Command separately declined an interview request about its election-security efforts. In practice, the directive can mean military intelligence agencies are tasked with identifying foreign hackers or influence operations overseas, warning civilian agencies about threats headed toward U.S. targets and, when authorized, Cyber Command taking action against the foreign actors or infrastructure behind them. The military's role largely stops at the U.S. border: state and local officials run elections, while agencies including the FBI and Department of Homeland Security handle the domestic side. The Pentagon's election security mission is not new. Cyber Command and NSA have spent years tracking and disrupting foreign threats around American elections, including operations targeting Russian actors during previous election cycles. The effort began taking its current shape ahead of the 2018 midterms, when the agencies formed a "Russia Small Group" focused on foreign interference. It later evolved into a joint Election Security Group, combining NSA's intelligence-gathering capabilities with Cyber Command's ability to conduct operations against foreign cyber threats. By 2022, then-Cyber Command and NSA chief Gen. Paul Nakasone was describing election security as an "enduring, no-fail mission" — language echoed by Hegseth four years later. "Rest assured, we were doing operations well before the midterms began, and we were doing operations likely on the day of the midterms," Nakasone said after the 2022 election, describing the military's role as "understanding your foreign adversaries and operating outside the United States." The agencies again established an Election Security Group for the 2024 presidential election, but whether that structure was recreated for this year's midterms has been less clear. Gen. Joshua Rudd, the current head of Cyber Command and NSA, told lawmakers in April that foreign interference was "reasonable to expect based on what we've seen in the past" and said his command was "postured and ready to support as required or tasked." He said at the time that he was unsure whether the Election Security Group had been reconvened. CHINA-LINKED HACKERS INFILTRATED US GOVERNMENT NETWORKS BEFORE FBI TAKEDOWN Five months later, Hegseth issued his department-wide directive, addressed not only to Cyber Command and NSA but also to the directors of the Defense Intelligence Agency and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. The order instructs military intelligence agencies to collect and analyze intelligence on foreign election threats while directing Cyber Command to use its existing authorities and capabilities to counter potential foreign cyber activity in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security. It does not publicly grant new authorities or establish a new election-security organization, instead reinforcing a mission the military has increasingly treated as an enduring responsibility. U.S. intelligence officials, meanwhile, say they have seen no evidence that a foreign adversary has attempted to interfere with voting machines, physical election infrastructure or the counting of votes ahead of Tuesday's midterms. Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, said last week that intelligence officials continue to see nothing contradicting that assessment, but urged Americans to remain "on high alert" for foreign disinformation, particularly as artificial intelligence makes such campaigns easier to spread. But officials continue to track foreign influence efforts from Russia, China and Iran, with Russia remaining the most active foreign influence threat, CNN reported Sunday. U.S. elections are attractive targets for foreign adversaries because the stakes extend far beyond who wins office: influencing American voters or undermining confidence in the process can shape U.S. policy, weaken public support for policies they oppose and deepen divisions without ever touching a voting machine. Lawmakers briefed on classified intelligence last month said Russia was using disinformation to target candidates and undermine confidence in the election, while China's influence efforts were more narrowly focused on candidates viewed as hostile to Beijing. The Pentagon's role focuses on threats originating overseas, while state and local officials administer elections and civilian federal agencies lead domestic election-security efforts. Hegseth's directive makes that overseas mission a priority across the broader military intelligence enterprise, though the Pentagon has not disclosed whether it has resulted in additional personnel, resources or organizational changes ahead of Election Day. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae8ee43726b22deeb69b217 Lions say 'preliminary indications are positive' for linebacker Jack Campbell after neck injury te 2026-11-02T20:10:43.288Z Lions say 'preliminary indications are positive' for linebacker Jack Campbell after neck injury There is some good news for Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell, per the team, but details of his condition and whether he has motion in his extremities remain scarce following Monday's latest update. The Lions on Monday announced "preliminary indications are positive" for Campbell's condition. But "out of respect for Jack and his family we will not share further information at this time." PACKERS WR CHRISTIAN WATSON GETS CHECKED AT HOSPITAL AFTER SCARY INJURY, SOMEHOW RETURNS TO LAMBEAU FIELD And while this is somewhat uplifting and paints a picture that the player's medical situation is trending in a good direction, it leaves a lot unclear. Specifically, no one has said whether Campbell has regained full or any mobility since he was removed from the Ford Field turf on Sunday on an immobility stretcher and cart. This was the third update on Campbell's status the Lions have delivered since the end of their game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The first update said Campbell was being transported to a local hospital to be evaluated for a neck injury. The second update announced he would remain hospitalized overnight for "continued evaluation and monitoring." Neither of those updates relieved concerns about whether Campbell had movement in his extremities, either. And that is usually the first thing NFL teams want to say when violent collisions happen and players leave the field immobilized. That message, if it is to come at all, will have to continue to wait, perhaps out of caution that what is finally reported remains true. Uncertainty was very much a worry to anyone who saw the play that led to Campbell's problem. Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson caught a pass in the middle of the field and was soon sandwiched by two Lions' defenders, including Campbell. The problem is Campbell arrived at the contact while falling to his knees and appeared to have his head slanted upward, so he made contact with his facemask rather than his shoulders and arms. Campbell immediately collapsed and lay motionless, his arms dropping to his side. On a positive note, Campbell did not require help breathing. The Lions are uncomfortably too familiar with neck and spinal cord injuries that derail NFL careers and change the direction of players' lives. Mike Utley’s career ended on Nov. 17, 1991, when the Lions guard fell forward and landed on his head while blocking against the Los Angeles Rams at the Pontiac Silverdome. Utley fractured the vertebrae in his neck and severely damaged his spinal cord. Utley was paralyzed from the chest down despite the fact he famously flashed a thumbs-up sign as he was taken from the field, a gesture that became a symbol of his determination.

Utley later founded the Mike Utley Foundation, which supports spinal-cord-injury research, rehabilitation and adaptive sports. Reggie Brown’s career ended on Dec. 21, 1997, when the Lions linebacker struck his head while making a tackle during a victory over the New York Jets. This one was a life-threatening incident because Brown bruised his spinal cord and briefly stopped breathing. He received emergency resuscitation, neck surgery and extensive rehabilitation. Brown eventually regained the ability to walk and remains active in Texas, where he has worked in auto-dealership management and occasionally speaks about his recovery and football career, including to Texas A&M audiences.

But when someone involves your family, a line has been crossed — one that is difficult to explain to those who did not sign up for the job. We see it far too often. That is no excuse for fans who target the families of college football coaches. The social media backlash, trash talk at school and verbal shots from fans who believe they are entitled to voice their opinions because they paid for a ticket — the list goes on. FLORIDA STATE FIRES MIKE NORVELL AFTER FAN REVOLT, CLEMSON LOSS SPARKS DECISION TO PAY MASSIVE BUYOUT While Matt Rhule is fair game for criticism when Nebraska loses or fails to perform on the field, targeting his family is completely unacceptable. The Cornhuskers head coach has every right to call out the individuals who verbally attacked his daughter. Speaking Monday after Nebraska suffered another fourth-quarter collapse — this time blowing a lead to Washington after the Huskies scored 14 points in just 45 seconds — Rhule said he can handle the criticism. But targeting his family is an entirely different matter. "A guy walked up to my 13-year-old daughter and was like, ‘F-you and F your dad.’ I’m not going to keep coaching if it means my kids grow up screwed up," Rhule told reporters "I said to my daughter, ‘If daddy’s gotta retire, if I have retire because I don’t want you guys growing up in that environment …" CAM WARD'S SISTER SAYS HER FAMILY HAS BEEN TARGET OF 'THREATS, HARASSMENT' BY FANS ANGRY ABOUT BROTHER'S PLAY No, Matt Rhule is not quitting or walking away from the Nebraska football program. But, you could tell by watching his news conference that the Cornhuskers head coach is also feeling the heat when it comes to where the program currently stands. Obviously, we live in a cynical society where folks feel as though if someone makes millions of dollars to coach a game that they are subject to the criticism. Sure, I don't disagree with that, as long as that doesn’t include the threat of physical attack or someone going off the deep end. GOOD LUCK, SEC: AUBURN AWOKE A MONSTER IN ATHENS, AND FLORIDA PAYS THE PRICE IN GEORGIA’S COCKTAIL BEATDOWN There is a reason we are 'fans', which is short for fanatic. On the other hand, when the verbal attacks start making their way from the head coach to a family member, that's when the plot is officially lost. "I’m not leaving. I’m not quitting. I’m fighting for those people," Matt Rhule explained. "For the people who are listening to the game while they’re on a combine [harvester]. We are going to fight for those people. But please don’t ever question how hard these kids are working or how hard these coaches are working or how hard I’m working." And yes, it can get a little chaotic for coaches across different sports. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Having spoken to plenty of coaches around multiple sports over the years, you would be surprised at just how far some of this can go. There are schools that will assign security to family members on game days, put a police officer outside a coach's home when a season goes in a negative direction or even have the need to keep family members away from attending games altogether. While this shouldn’t be the case, unfortunately, we live in a social media society that brings out the worst in some fans who decide to take things way too far, over a game. If you think losing doesn’t drive these coaches crazy because they are making a large amount of money in the process, you aren’t understanding the personal side to their lives. It's not that serious folks, and a 13-year-old doesn’t deserve to catch heat for something their father decided to do for a living.

This is why I want Michigan's vote for Senate Earlier this month, our campaign kicked off a week-long town hall tour in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. Many of our stops were in towns Trump won by thirty points. Pundits laughed in our faces. My opponent told reporters we should expect "a cold welcome." But I went anyway. EL-SAYED RALLYGOERS URGE 'MAJOR CHANGE', CASH HANDOUTS TO FIGHT COST CRISIS I went for the mom in Escanaba who shared her excitement that this was the first political rally she’d attended in her life — not because she’d lacked interest, but because "no one ever comes to Escanaba." I heard that kind of thing a lot. In Iron Mountain, Marquette, Sault Ste. Marie, Petoskey, Midland, and Caro, I spoke with Michiganders who had felt ignored and overlooked by our politics. FOX NEWS POLL: MICHIGAN VOTERS SPLIT BETWEEN EL-SAYED AND ROGERS Both parties are to blame for this feeling of neglect all across the UP and Northern Michigan. Republicans take these voters for granted. Most Democrats don’t even bother campaigning there. I’m running for Senate because no Michigander deserves to be left behind. 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. We’re seeing historic momentum in unlikely places. Rural districts, from Escanaba to Port Huron to Cadillac, are showing up and showing out for our campaign. Hundreds of former Trump voters line up for hours to attend our town halls. Because they know they deserve better. They deserve not to suffer under a broken system that’s been broken since long before Trump. DAVID MARCUS: THE 5 FACTORS THAT COULD DECIDE MICHIGAN'S TIGHT AND UGLY SENATE RACE So I mean it when I say our campaign is open to all who are in search of a better future. As senator, I will always put Michigan first and fight for each and every member of our state. The greatest gift of campaigning has been events like our tour stops, where I get to meet with Michiganders who trust me with their stories and struggles. No matter where I go, I’m hearing the same thing: It shouldn’t be this hard. Whether it’s that mom in Escanaba or a farmer in Ithaca or a teacher in Detroit, working Americans are struggling to afford gas, groceries, and healthcare while billionaires and corporations grow richer and richer. EL-SAYED, ROGERS CLASH OVER MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, TRUMP AND GUNS: 5 FIERY DEBATE MOMENTS This is what the disastrous Rogers-Trump agenda has left us. Experts estimate that the average Michigan household is paying a whopping $5,600 due to Trump’s tariffs, in addition to spending about $20 more every time they fill up a tank as a result of Trump’s dangerous Iran war. The numbers speak for themselves. Working Michiganders are going through hell—and our president isn’t doing a thing to help. He’s just making it worse. SCHOEN, COOPERMAN: DEMOCRATS CLOSE IN AS REPUBLICANS SCRAMBLE TO HOLD CONGRESS But my opponent, Mike Rogers, thinks the trade war is "an absolute win" and that the Iran War is a "win-win-win." When we last met on the debate stage, all Rogers could say was that the last two years of Trump’s presidency have been "amazing." And for Trump and Rogers, perhaps they have been. Trump reported at least $2.2 billion in income in 2025, his first year back in office, and since leaving Congress, Rogers ballooned his net worth to $14.6 million by advising the very corporations he was in charge of regulating as a legislator. Rogers’ playbook is clear. He’s just another cog in the political machine that delivers for special interests over the public. He’s running for office to enrich himself at the expense of Michiganders, just as he’s done before. Throughout his time in Congress, Mike Rogers took over $1 million from Big Pharma, then voted 19 times against expanding children’s health coverage and lowering prescription drug costs. Mike Rogers took millions from Big Oil — then voted to raise gas prices. Mike Rogers took millions from Wall Street — then voted for higher credit rates. Mike Rogers took millions from Trump-aligned super PACs, then backed Trump’s dangerous war with Iran, even as gas and groceries spike for Michiganders. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION To spell it out more clearly: Rogers wins when working Michiganders lose. I’m running because I believe in a better way. I believe we win when we put Michigan first — not billionaires or special interests or corporations. That’s why my campaign is built around three simple principles: money out of politics, money in your pocket, and Medicare for All. Together, we can put an end to politics as usual. This Election Day, we can send Rogers home to his Florida mansion and vote for a leader who will always put Michigan first.

This is why I want Michigan's vote for Senate When my wife Kristi and I decided to enter this race over a year and a half ago, we knew that the stakes in this election were high. The Michigan we both grew up in — our home — was barely recognizable. Our state’s education ranking is now 45th in the nation. We have the highest utility rates in the Midwest. The next generation of Michiganders is being pushed out of our state as housing costs skyrocket and job opportunities move elsewhere. We knew that Michigan needed a United States senator who was going to champion working families and get our state back on track. That is why we got into this fight to begin with: to lower housing costs, get our kids reading again, and bring manufacturing jobs back to our state. It has always been about serving Michigan and putting our state first. That promise to fight for YOU has not changed. But after the Democratic primary election on Aug. 4, something did change. Our race became a fight for the very soul of our state and country. There has never been more on the line. 2026 MIDTERMS STATE OF PLAY: KEY RACES UNFOLD AS STEVENS, EL-SAYED BATTLE IN MICHIGAN Costs are incredibly high for Michiganders, and my Democratic opponent Abdul El-Sayed’s extreme Green New Deal policies would burden hardworking families even more. His gas-powered car ban would put auto manufacturing workers out of a job. The energy policies El-Sayed has supported could drive utility and gasoline costs even higher for Michigan families. El-Sayed’s "Medicare for All" plan would also raise costs even more — all while forcing you to give up your doctor and quality, timely healthcare. Just take his own words for it. He’s admitted for years that his plan would "give other people what you have and make yours more expensive." He previously said Medicare for All "does away with the private insurance market," although he now says employer- and union-provided supplemental coverage could remain. He may be lying to you now, but his record on these issues is crystal clear. Michiganders cannot afford Abdul El-Sayed. GREEN NEW DODGE: EL-SAYED RUNS FROM POLICY AS NEWLY SURFACED DELETED POSTS SHOW YEARS OF SUPPORT But more importantly, our values are on the line in this election. Not only can Michiganders not afford Abdul El-Sayed, they cannot trust his ideology. 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. After the Hezbollah-inspired attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, in March, El-Sayed seemed to sympathize with the attacker, saying, "hurt people hurt people." Asked whether Iran or Israel poses the greater threat to America, El-Sayed said both countries have "proven dangerous in their own way." Yet Iran is a country whose leaders chant "Death to America" and that wants to eliminate our ally Israel. I proudly served our great country and fought so that El-Sayed and every American can pray as they want to. But his words and his actions reflect an ideology we cannot allow in the United States Senate. EL-SAYED TRIES TO MAKE PEACE WITH JEWISH DEMOCRATS BUT DRAWS LINE AT DUMPING HASAN PIKER That is why your vote matters so much in this election. It will take each of us to save our state. Let this campaign serve as an example of my commitment to do that. Over the past several months, I have traveled across this beautiful state to meet with Michiganders. I have visited communities that Republican candidates have not visited in decades — because I want to be a senator for all of Michigan. I have not been focused on garnering social media views like El-Sayed, because I am more concerned about listening to you and hearing about the issues you face. I have not been focused on building a movement like El-Sayed either. I am focused on delivering real solutions for you, not slogans for television.

PHOENIX — State attorneys are urging a federal judge to dismiss a Trump administration lawsuit targeting reduced tuition for undocumented students at Arizona’s public universities, arguing the federal government lacks legal standing to challenge state education policies. Assistant Attorney General Hayleigh Crawford noted that Arizonans voted in 2022 to change the law and allow lower tuition for those who meet certain requirements, “regardless of residence and lawful immigration status.” The Trump administration sued earlier this year to block the policy, claiming it violates federal law and a Trump executive order. But Crawford told U.S. District Court Judge Murray Snow that the only people who can sue in federal court to overturn Arizona’s law are those who can show an injury that is “concrete and particularized, and actual or imminent.” And the government can’t, she argued. “The government lacks standing,” she wrote. “Instead, the government points to alleged economic harm suffered by Arizona universities.” The Department of Justice put the alleged damages at $10.5 million for the last school year. Aside from the fact that Crawford told Snow the reduced tuition amount is wrong — she doesn’t say what it actually is — she said it’s irrelevant. “Any alleged economic harm from reduced tuition payments to state universities accrues to Arizona and its institutions, not the United States,” Crawford said. The tuition issue for noncitizens traces back to the Obama administration, which created the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in 2012. It allows people who arrived in this country illegally as children before 2007 — colloquially called “Dreamers” — to remain and even to work if they meet certain conditions. As a result, the Maricopa Community College system and, later, the Arizona Board of Regents agreed to let DACA recipients pay in-state tuition. But the Arizona Supreme Court ruled in 2018 that Proposition 300, a 2006 ballot measure that denies various public benefits to those not legally in the country, including any form of subsidized tuition, precluded that. Proposition 308, approved in 2022 by a 51.2% to 48.8% margin, was crafted to say that no longer applies to tuition and scholarships. A 1998 federal law says someone who is not lawfully present in the United States can’t get any postsecondary benefits based on state residency unless the same benefits are available to citizens of any other state. President Trump issued an executive order last year directing the Department of Justice to take action against any state whose practices give benefits to aliens that all American citizens don’t receive. The order says that includes “state laws that provide in-state higher education tuition to aliens but not to out-of-state American citizens.” The financial difference is significant. At the University of Arizona, for example, in-state undergraduate tuition is $13,906 a year. The annual out-of-state cost is $43,068. Prop. 308, the 2022 ballot measure, allows certain individuals who graduated from an Arizona high school and meet other conditions to pay the same tuition as state residents, regardless of immigration status. At the same time, U.S. citizens from another state can be required to pay the higher non-resident tuition. The state law says in-state tuition requires students to meet two conditions. They must have attended a public or private school (or have been homeschooled) “while physically present in this state for at least two years. They must also have graduated while physically present in Arizona. For example, Crawford said, a student who crossed into Arizona daily from another state would be a resident of that state but could qualify for in-state tuition by attending and graduating from an Arizona high school. She also said someone from elsewhere who graduated from an Arizona boarding school could qualify for the lower in-state rate even though, strictly speaking, that person is a resident of the state where her parents lived. Anyone who met the conditions but later moved to another state could also qualify, even after being gone for years. Conversely, Crawford said someone whose family moves to Arizona in a final year of high school does not qualify. Ditto an Arizonan who attends and graduates from an out-of-state boarding or private school. She said rulings in favor of the Trump administration in Illinois, Texas and Nebraska are irrelevant because the wording of the laws in those states are different. Snow has not said when he will consider the arguments. The post Arizona defends in-state tuition for undocumented students first appeared on Arizona Capitol Times.

Block, a longtime PGA teaching professional, grabbed a stranglehold on the golf world at the 2023 PGA Championship when he finished tied for 15th and hit a hole-in-one during the final round while playing alongside Rory McIlroy. The Block inevitably cooled off for a bit after experiencing a nearly indescribable moment on a major championship stage, but the California native turned 50 in June, and the Block is hot again. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE Block made his PGA Tour Champions debut two weeks after hitting the half-century mark and pieced together an impressive T-9 finish. Since then, he's made 10 more starts on the senior circuit and has been mightily impressive with three Top 5 finishes along the way. This past weekend he finished T-10 at the Simmons Bank Championship, and while the finish was nice and the $51,000 payday probably felt good in the pocket, the real treat was a quote he delivered after his opening round 66.

Block felt obliged to go on record to let the world know he has, in fact, not left his wife or children in the midst of his impressive stint on the senior tour. "I mean, yes, of course, the money's a part of being on the PGA Tour Champions. But to me, I still drive the same car, live in the same house, have the same wife, I have the same kids, I still work from my phone, and you know what, it is what it is, and it hasn't changed me one iota," Block explained. "I'm just having a blast, having a great time. I have a very supportive country club back in Orange County, California called Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club that the ownership and management supports me 100 percent and there's no way on God's green earth that I could do what I'm doing without." Nobody does it like Michael Block does it. It's unclear where exactly his mention about not leaving his wife and kids came from, unless he was making a general statement about other players getting divorced, but the never-knowing what is going to come out of Block's mouth next is what makes him a can't-miss character. Without missing a single cut in his 11 starts on the PGA Tour Champions, Block has earned just over $600,000.

Haley Stevens for putting America ahead of her party Monday while accusing Democrats of viciously attacking the congresswoman after she stunned her party by endorsing him over Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed. Rogers told Brian Kilmeade on the "Brian Kilmeade Show" that Stevens’ endorsement "flipped this thing upside down," saying the congresswoman called him Sunday morning while he was on his way to church before ultimately deciding to publicly back his campaign following her bruising primary loss to El-Sayed. "This is a congresswoman who just stood up and said, 'America is more important than my party right now,'" Rogers said. "And we cannot elect somebody who is so anti-Jewish, who is divisive, who's angry, who was mean about his politics. It's just the wrong thing to do." EL SAYED'S LEFT-WING ALLIES ATTACK 'EVIL' STEVENS AFTER BOMBSHELL ROGERS ENDORSEMENT Rogers' comments came as Fox News reported Monday that Stevens' endorsement triggered backlash from top Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. Schumer called the move a "despicable betrayal," while Pelosi accused Stevens of "dangerously" betraying Michigan families by backing Rogers. The endorsement marked a dramatic break for Stevens, who had stopped short of explicitly endorsing El-Sayed in the weeks after losing the Democratic primary but continued to publicly align herself with the party. During an October CNN interview, Stevens was repeatedly pressed on whether she supported El-Sayed and declined to explicitly say she endorsed him, instead stressing that she was "still on the team" and planned to support Democrats on the ballot. The tensions between the former primary rivals had been building in the closing stretch of the race. Stevens pressed El-Sayed to condemn an outside group's ad linking U.S. support for Israel to higher grocery prices, which she called antisemitic, before El-Sayed's campaign asked her to stay away from its remaining campaign events. El-Sayed said his campaign did not produce the ad and that he disagreed with its contents. MICHIGAN DEMOCRAT HALEY STEVENS BACKS EL-SAYED AFTER NARROW PRIMARY DEFEAT, CALLS SOCIALISM ‘DANGEROUS’ Meanwhile, days before she publicly endorsed Rogers, Stevens' fiancé, Jason Turkish, had already broken with the Democratic nominee. Turkish, a Jewish Michigan attorney and registered Democrat, told reporters at a Rogers campaign event that he planned to vote for the Republican, arguing that El-Sayed's rhetoric on Israel had made the Jewish community "less safe." Turkish described his decision as "putting country before party." Still, even hours before the endorsement, Stevens appeared to be denying that she planned to back Rogers. Fox News Digital reported Monday that Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., said she spoke with Stevens around midnight Saturday and was told reports of an impending Rogers endorsement were a "rumor" and "not true." However, hours later, Stevens was standing alongside Rogers at a Detroit church service, where she ultimately announced she would cross party lines and endorse him over El-Sayed. "We didn't know what was going to happen. We were driving to the church yesterday morning when the call came in," Rogers said. "I just invited her to come in. She decided between when she got in the car and she got to the church, she was going to not only withdraw the endorsement, but endorse me." DEMOCRATS WHO ‘NEVER VOTED REPUBLICAN’ BACK ROGERS OVER EL-SAYED IN RAZOR-CLOSE RACE Rogers, who said the pair had a "great conversation" on the phone, also pushed back on suggestions that Stevens had received anything in exchange for the endorsement, saying his campaign had no advance knowledge that she planned to back him. "Absolutely not. Matter of fact, we didn't know what was going to happen," Rogers said when asked whether he had offered Stevens anything. "She said, 'I've not asked anyone to go with me, I'm just telling you what I'm doing.'" Rogers then took aim at Democrats who have attacked Stevens since her announcement. "They want to attack Haley Stevens for saying, ‘I'm a Democrat, I'm voting Democrat up and down the ticket, except for one race, Abdul El-Sayed. I am voting for Mike Rogers,’" Rogers said. ROGERS ARGUES EL-SAYED IS VULNERABLE WITH 2 TRADITIONALLY DEMOCRATIC BLOCS AS OBAMA HEADS TO MICHIGAN "Their whole plan now is to come out and attack her with viciousness," he continued. "She's the only one in the Democrat Party today that has enough common sense to know you elect somebody that hates a group of people this much, it's gonna be a disaster for Democrats and America." During his appearance on Kilmeade's radio show, Rogers was pressed on a New York Times/Siena poll released Sunday that showed El-Sayed leading him 53% to 42% among likely Michigan voters, a significantly wider margin than other surveys of the race. Rogers rejected the findings, pointing to his campaign's internal polling and modeling, which he said showed the race within one or two points. "We have it as a one- or two-point race," Rogers said. "Our polling, our modeling and polling shows this is tied or we're up by two. So we think that's closer to the truth." Rogers also argued that the poll underestimated his support among Black voters in Detroit, saying his campaign had made "great inroads" in the community. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER His comments come after Stevens publicly questioned El-Sayed's outreach to Black voters. During the October CNN interview, when she would not explicitly back El-Sayed, Stevens said she had urged El-Sayed and his campaign to deliver a speech to the Black community. "But yeah, I mean, that didn't happen," Stevens said at the time. "That speech hasn't happened." Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae8e71d726b22deeb69ac7e Florida plane crash investigators say weather conditions a 'major focus,' plane may have started to break up te 2026-11-02T19:40:13.698Z Florida plane crash investigators say weather conditions a 'major focus,' plane may have started to break up Federal investigators said Monday that weather conditions are a "major focus" of their investigation into the fiery private jet crash that killed nine people in South Florida. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) member Tom Chapman said investigators have preliminary indications that the Learjet 60 was breaking apart before it crashed in a Palm Beach County neighborhood Sunday afternoon. "We do have some indication that the aircraft was breaking up before impact," Chapman said during a Monday news conference. "And so, some of this has yet to be determined. We may find parts of the aircraft some distance away from the actual impact site." COPILOT KILLED IN FIERY FLORIDA LEARJET CRASH IDENTIFIED AS 20-YEAR-OLD WHO LEARNED TO FLY BEFORE DRIVING Chapman said investigators are also examining the weather conditions the jet encountered at approximately 35,000 feet, where the crew reported icing and moderate turbulence shortly before the crash. "The weather conditions are a major focus of the investigation," Chapman said. "You all saw what the weather was like here at the surface. What we have to determine is what the weather conditions were like at altitude." The aircraft departed Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas around 10:37 a.m. Sunday, bound for North Eleuthera in the Bahamas with two crew members and seven passengers aboard, according to the NTSB. At approximately 12:47 p.m., the crew reported encountering manageable light clear ice and moderate turbulence, with altitude deviations of roughly 700 feet while flying at 35,000 feet. The crew also reported an outside temperature of minus 47 degrees Celsius, or minus 53 degrees Fahrenheit, before requesting permission to climb to 37,000 feet after encountering precipitation. Air traffic control approved the request, but less than 30 seconds later, the crew reported descending and issued a mayday call around 12:48 p.m. "We are in an overspeed condition, descending," the crew transmitted, according to Chapman, who said the remainder of the message was unintelligible. WISCONSIN PLANE CRASH KILLS 5 ADULTS, CHILD AS AUTHORITIES PROBE FINAL COMMUNICATIONS WITH AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL Subsequent communications indicated the jet was rapidly losing altitude before it crashed into a residential area near Cresthaven, Florida, around 12:50 p.m., killing all nine people aboard. NTSB investigator-in-charge Timothy Manville said the on-scene investigation will take several days, with recovering the wreckage from a crater in the roadway posing a significant challenge. "The biggest obstacle that we're going to have is recovering the major wreckage from the impacted crater on the roadway," Manville said. Dashcam footage captured the jet plunging nose-first into the neighborhood and erupting into a massive fireball, as Fox News Digital previously reported. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis described the crash as "cataclysmic" Sunday, saying the aircraft "looked like a missile going down" and left a large crater beside the road. The crash also prompted the evacuation of approximately 600 people from a nearby mobile home community, according to local officials. The FAA is assisting the NTSB investigation. The cause of the crash has not been determined.

But what if an officer could respond to an emergency in a small electric aircraft that looks like a giant drone? That idea is getting closer to reality in Florida. The Florida Polytechnic University Police Department in Lakeland has introduced a flying patrol vehicle that the university has nicknamed Astro. Jetson, the company behind the Jetson ONE personal flying machine, built the single-seat aircraft. According to the university, it's the first U.S. law enforcement agency to add this type of piloted electric aircraft to its fleet. Jetson calls it a world first. However, Astro still needs FAA authorization before officers can use it for operational police patrols. Here's how Astro works and why police believe this unusual aircraft could change the way they respond to emergencies. Missed CyberGuy LIVE?

FLYING SPORTS CAR HIDES ITS WINGS AS PRODUCTION GETS CLOSER Astro gets its name from the dog in the classic cartoon The Jetsons. The aircraft even looks like something George Jetson might have parked outside his house. Astro uses electric vertical takeoff and landing technology, commonly called eVTOL. As a result, it can lift straight into the air without needing a runway. Unlike a conventional police helicopter, Astro has a compact frame that folds for easier transport and storage. The aircraft features an open cockpit surrounded by a lightweight frame. Eight electric motors power its eight propellers. Meanwhile, a four-axis joystick allows the pilot to control its movement. Florida Polytechnic University selected the Jetson ONE to explore its potential for law enforcement. The aircraft arrived during summer 2026. Since then, police personnel have completed flight training, according to Jetson. That includes Police Chief Aaron Murray. Jetson also identifies the aircraft by its registration number, N911FP. The number references emergency services and Florida Polytechnic University. Jetson tells CyberGuy that Astro is a standard Jetson ONE with police lights added. Officers use a handheld radio, and the aircraft has mounts for action cameras. The company says a pilot-controlled searchlight could be added in the future. Astro may look compact, but its advertised performance is impressive. According to Jetson's published specifications, the aircraft can reach speeds of 63 mph. That's fast enough to cover short distances across a large campus without following roads or dealing with traffic. However, battery life limits how long it can stay airborne. Jetson estimates approximately 20 minutes of flight time per charge, making Astro better suited to short missions than extended patrols. Jetson tells CyberGuy that the aircraft takes approximately 90 minutes to recharge using a 240-volt connection. Charging through a standard household outlet takes about three hours. However, officers can swap batteries between flights. This allows them to return to the air sooner if fully charged replacements are available. Each flight still lasts approximately 20 minutes. Jetson confirms that the 210-pound maximum includes the pilot, police gear and any emergency supplies. The company says this is a hard limit, which could restrict how much equipment an officer can carry. Jetson also advertises several safety features. The company says Astro can continue flying even if one motor fails. It also has an automatic landing system and a ballistic parachute designed for emergencies. Jetson lists the vehicle at $148,000 before taxes and additional fees, making it a significant investment for a police department. Florida Polytechnic University wants to explore whether Astro can help officers respond when roads become difficult to navigate. Consider what happens after a major Florida storm. Roads may flood, debris can block access and emergency crews may struggle to reach certain locations. Once weather and flying conditions allow, a small aircraft that takes off vertically could help officers survey the damage. Police Chief Aaron Murray believes Astro could help officers monitor the campus and reach places that traditional vehicles cannot easily access. The department also wants to investigate using it to deliver emergency supplies. "Advanced air mobility is a technology on the rise, and we can either choose to be proactive or reactive as it develops," Murray said. The university also plans to collaborate with regional law enforcement agencies on potential emergency-response missions. However, Astro carries only its pilot. It cannot transport an injured person or bring someone back from a rescue mission. Because the 210-pound limit includes the officer and everything onboard, the amount of emergency supplies Astro can carry depends on the pilot's weight and equipment. PILOTLESS CARGO AIRCRAFT COULD CHANGE HOW PACKAGES MOVE There's an important regulatory issue before Astro can become a regular part of police operations. Jetson developed the ONE as a recreational aircraft designed around the FAA's Part 103 ultralight rules. Those rules allow qualifying ultralight vehicles to operate without traditional aircraft or pilot certification. However, Part 103 limits their use to recreational or sporting purposes. Police patrols fall outside those permitted uses. FAA guidance specifically identifies aerial surveying and patrolling as activities that cannot operate under Part 103. Jetson says Florida Polytechnic University needs additional federal authorization involving FAA Part 91 rules to use Astro for public-safety missions. When the university announced the aircraft in mid-October, it said the approval process was in its final stages. At that time, officials expected approval in November or December. The university has not publicly confirmed when regular operational police patrols will begin. Astro has another role beyond its potential police duties. It will serve as a hands-on research platform for Florida Polytechnic University students. The university launched an aerospace engineering degree program in fall 2026. As a result, students will have an opportunity to study electric aircraft technology while learning about the challenges of operating it. Faculty members and students plan to use Astro's flight data for research and senior engineering projects. Reports also indicate that the university is exploring virtual training simulations for police officers. This could provide useful information about how small electric aircraft perform during specialized missions. It may also help future engineers identify limitations that need attention before wider adoption. Florida is also expanding its involvement in advanced air mobility. The nearby SunTrax transportation testing facility in Auburndale has a dedicated aerial test track for emerging aircraft technology. Testing under Florida's participation in a federal advanced air mobility pilot program is expected to begin by the end of 2026. That statewide testing effort is separate from Astro's pending authorization for police operations. Astro raises an interesting possibility for law enforcement agencies looking for alternatives to traditional helicopters. Police helicopters require significant resources to purchase and maintain. A smaller electric aircraft could eventually offer another option for certain missions, especially when an officer needs a quick view of an area from above. However, Jetson's aircraft also has substantial limitations. Its short flight duration means officers would need to plan missions carefully. Swappable batteries could support repeated flights, but officers would still need to land between missions to replace them. Weather conditions and airspace restrictions could further affect operations. There's also the question of whether a single-seat piloted aircraft provides enough benefits compared with a drone, which can conduct aerial surveillance without putting an officer in the cockpit. Even so, Jetson sees the police department's purchase as an important step toward expanding personal electric aircraft into professional use. The company says its entire 2026 and 2027 production is sold out. It is now accepting orders for 2028, with a listed price of $148,000. Jetson also expects Astro to appear at the public UP.Summit event at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on November 7 and 8. You probably won't see flying patrol vehicles operating above your neighborhood anytime soon. However, Astro offers an early look at how public-safety agencies might use small electric aircraft. After a major storm, an officer flying over blocked roads could potentially assess damage and help emergency crews understand where assistance is needed. The same technology might eventually support searches for missing people, although Astro's usefulness still needs to be demonstrated during actual police operations. There's another side worth considering. As police departments explore aerial technology, questions about privacy will become increasingly important. People may want to know when officers can fly above their property and whether aircraft will collect or record information. Those questions deserve attention alongside the aircraft's potential benefits. For now, Florida Polytechnic University has an opportunity to study a new approach to emergency response while working toward the necessary federal authorization. I've been following Jetson's flying aircraft for several years, and seeing one enter a police department's fleet is an interesting development. When I first covered the Jetson ONE, the attraction was the idea of people being able to fly their own electric aircraft. Now we're seeing a possible use beyond recreation. I can understand why a police department would want this technology, especially in Florida, where storms can leave communities cut off from emergency services. But I'm also interested in what happens after the excitement wears off. Twenty minutes of flight time leaves little room for unexpected delays, and there's still the question of whether an officer flying overhead offers enough advantages over a drone to justify the expense. I'm encouraged that the university plans to study those questions before putting Astro into regular service. And I think communities should have a say in how police use these aircraft, particularly when it comes to privacy. Would seeing police officers flying above your neighborhood make you feel safer, or would you worry about having another set of eyes watching from the sky?

The MRC, a conservative media watchdog, previously found Apple News took a "decidedly leftist turn" after comparing content during the final month of former CEO Tim Cook’s tenure to the first month after new CEO John Ternus took control on Sept 1. The group then monitored Apple News through October and found the news aggregator continued to largely promote left-leaning outlets in the lead up to midterm elections. Apple News promoted only 11 stories from right-leaning outlets out of a total of 504 published stories through the first 27 days of October, according to the MRC. More than two out of every three stories came from a publication that media bias rating site AllSides considers left-leaning, as 67.3% were from liberal outlets and only 2% came from right-leaning outlets. APPLE, GOOGLE NEWS ALGORITHMS SUPPRESSED NEGATIVE STORIES ON MICHIGAN SENATE HOPEFUL EL-SAYED, STUDY SAYS The study found that Apple News, which comes preinstalled on every iPhone in America, was consistent with the percentage of stories from left-leaning outlets in each month since Ternus took control and noticed a slight bump in content from right-leaning outlets in his second month at the helm. However, nearly half of the content from right-leaning organizations was framed negatively against either the Trump administration or Republicans in general, according to the MRC. "For months the media has been claiming that Trump is on the ballot for the midterm elections. Given that Apple News has run only eleven stories from right-leaning outlets in October leading up to the election and nearly half were framed negatively against Trump, it’s apparent how Apple under John Ternus hopes the election turns out," MRC Free Speech America Dan Schneider told Fox News Digital. APPLE AND GOOGLE SUPPRESSED NEGATIVE GRAHAM PLATNER STORIES FOR MONTHS ON THEIR NEWS PLATFORM, STUDY FINDS The MRC also examined Apple News stories related directly to President Trump and found that all of them were negative. From Oct. 1 through Oct. 28, the MRC found that Apple News promoted 96 stories with Trump’s name in the headline and 49 of them framed the president negatively, while none framed him positively and 47 were considered neutral. "The MRC found that Apple News has promoted some headlines that characterized Trump as an antisemite, an irrational bully of U.S. allies and a Russian sympathizer," MRC editor Luis Cornelio wrote about his findings. "Other headlines promoted his administration’s legal setbacks, alleged failures to control prices and the outrage its policies have generated, all products of Apple News’s leftist tilt. In contrast, Apple News overlooked numerous available headlines that presented Trump, his administration and their policies in a positive light."  TIM GRAHAM: THREE-TO-ONE NEGATIVE COVERAGE TELLS THE STORY OF NETWORK BIAS Apple News has long been accused of having a liberal bias, and Fox News Digital reported earlier this year that many of the company’s top executives and board members have made substantial contributions to Democrats in various election cycles. MRC President David Bozell doesn’t believe the latest studies will do anything to change the tech behemoth’s reputation. "Ninety-six Trump headlines. Forty-nine negative. Zero positive. Apple’s editors choose the top stories by hand, and the scoreboard shows what they chose. Somebody at Apple owns the zero," Bozell told Fox News Digital. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

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. El-Sayed's campaign did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. CONTROVERSY OVER ABDUL EL-SAYED'S FAMILY TIES TO MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IGNORED, DOWNPLAYED BY LIBERAL MEDIA "Michiganders cannot trust Abdul El-Sayed. He lies about his physician credentials, his family life, and about how much his disastrous policies will cost Michigan's families," a spokesperson for Rogers told Fox News Digital. "Tell the truth, Abdul." El-Sayed has not publicly addressed the details of his mother's questioning by federal investigators or the raid on the offices of the Islamic charity where she worked since the Washington Free Beacon resurfaced the reports last month. Federal authorities raided the Missouri office of the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA), where El-Sayed's mother, Fatten Elkomy, worked in 2004, according to the Columbia Daily Tribune. The newspaper reported that federal agents questioned Elkomy for approximately three hours during the investigation. In 2008, IARA was shut down by the federal government in connection with alleged violations of federal sanctions and terrorism-related financing restrictions, including allegations involving funding for Islamic militants in Afghanistan and terrorist groups such as the Taliban and al Qaeda. Elkomy was not charged in connection with the investigation, according to multiple reports. Fox News Digital has found no evidence that she facilitated transfers of funds to terrorist organizations. The U.S. Treasury Department did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment about the government's findings concerning IARA's alleged connections to the Muslim Brotherhood or why Elkomy was questioned by federal investigators. TRUMP LINKS MICHIGAN SENATE CANDIDATE ABDUL EL-SAYED TO MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD: 'HE'S A CON MAN' During his Senate campaign, El-Sayed has sought to distance himself from his mother's reported political associations, emphasizing that she did not raise him. El-Sayed was raised in Michigan by his father and stepmother after his parents divorced when he was 3. "I have no ties. We have no ties," El-Sayed told NBC's Tom Llamas in October. "I have never had these conversations with my mother, I wasn't raised by my mother." The scrutiny of El-Sayed extended to the candidate's fundraisers and campaign events with Islamic leaders, some of whom have reported ties to the Muslim Brotherhood or have been accused of making antisemitic or hateful remarks. The controversy has also included El-Sayed's campaign appearances with left-wing streamer Hasan Piker. His former Democratic primary opponent, Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., endorsed Rogers on Sunday, citing concerns about El-Sayed's approach to the safety of Michigan's Jewish community and his repeated campaign appearances with Piker, who previously said, "America deserved 9/11." "I don't like a democratic nominee for U.S. senate campaigning and standing with someone who's saying that America deserved 9/11," Stevens said during a CNN interview Sunday night.  El-Sayed declined to comment on Piker's remarks during an April interview with POLITICO but later disavowed them during an August appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press." EL-SAYED ERUPTS AT GOP RIVAL OVER MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD ACCUSATIONS IN FIERY SENATE DEBATE Amy Mek, founder of the RAIR Foundation, a nonprofit organization focused on investigating groups it identifies as connected to terrorism, echoed Rogers' concerns about national security and El-Sayed's silence in a statement to Fox News Digital. Mek, who previously testified before Congress about terrorism-related threats in the United States, told Fox News Digital that she believes El-Sayed's silence on his mother's questioning reflects political considerations.  She also pointed to social media posts by El-Sayed's half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, who wrote on X in 2012 that members of their family have "long been" members of the Muslim Brotherhood. In a separate 2013 post that remains publicly available on her account, Abdelhadi said she was "praying for all my family that supports the #MB." Abdelhadi later recalled her family's fear of FBI surveillance in a 2016 article titled, "Queer, Muslim, and Unwelcome at the 'New Stonewall.'" El-Sayed has not publicly addressed his half-sister's statements in detail but called the tweets "not serious" during his NBC interview, accusing Llamas of "using hearsay evidence from a tweet" to question him about his family's reported connections to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Adding film and TV endeavors to the mix creates an entirely different kind of chaotic travel schedule that few people can really balance well. For independent pro wrestler Vinny Pacifico, finding that balance in life has been paramount. The competitor from Staten Island, New York, has been able to make a name for himself in the ring while making waves on the silver screen. Pacifico will add a new film to his impressive list of credits as he’s set to appear in "I Dream of Pizza." Directed by Matt Provenzano, "I Dream of Pizza" takes a look at a pizza-making prodigy leaving Italy for New York City to start his own pizza shop. The only issue – it’s been taken over by an Italian crime family. Antoinette Crowe-Legacy, Michael Leavy, Giorgio Cantarini and Vic Dibitetto are among those appearing in the film. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE Pacifico told OutKick Dropkick the skills that have made him solid in the ring have also helped with his acting career as well. When Pacifico was presented with "I Dream of Pizza," he said there was no way he could turn it down. "When they came to me about it, it was described as like a ‘Goodfellas’ and ‘Ratatouille,’ and I said, ‘Wait a minute. Are you kidding me? Who would say no to this?’ I love ‘Ratatouille.’ I'm a huge fan of that. … I love ‘Ratatouille,’ like that's a great freaking movie. So, once I heard that, I was all in, and that was it, you know, we kind of just made an agreement. I said let's do it. This is something that I'm really excited about. I'm Italian myself and it's finally my first ever Italian film." "It's about a kid who wants to have an Italian restaurant, and it kind of gets taken over by mobsters. Great story. It's a positive fun story, a lot of twists and turns to it. The cast that I mentioned isn't the full cast," he added. "There's a few more surprises getting ready to be announced soon, but I think this is gonna be really, really fun. I'm really excited about this. It's filming in New York, and I believe some of it's being filmed in Italy." Pacifico said he felt "blessed" to be able to have the opportunities to film and continue to work in pro wrestling. He’s been back and forth between Coastal Championship Wrestling in Florida and Hollywood Wrestling for the most part. But even as his Q score in Tinseltown increases, Pacifico said he planned on continuing his work in the ring for as long as he can. "Until I can't do it anymore," he told OutKick Dropkick when asked if he saw a finish line for his pro wrestling career given his emergence in the film industry. "I don't wanna stop. I wanna do both until … I want to do both forever. I don't want to stop either of them and I never will stop either of them. I believe that I will find a way to keep my body healthy enough to continue wrestling no matter what. Again, everyone says that, right? Everyone says, ‘Oh, I wanna wrestle ‘til I can't anymore,’ but I'm gonna, I'm going to make sure that I keep my body healthy, that I do physical therapy all the time, that I make sure my body is up to speed where it needs to be to continue wrestling well into my 60s and 70s if I can. That's what I want." Pacifico understood what that means – keeping his body in tip-top shape no matter what he’s doing, where he’s traveling or what other obstacle is in his way. "I wanna be able to do it. It's not, like I said, it's not likely. It’s a very hard-on-your-body industry. The flights, the bumping, the weapons, it's very hard on your body. But there is no end date in mind at all. I love doing both. I really, genuinely enjoy doing both, and it's been so much fun. But like I said though, I am going to, I have been, and I'm going to be very strict on my body and how I can keep it safe and keep it healthy. "Everywhere, every wrestler should be doing that because this is your job. As a wrestler, your body needs to be at its best form. You gotta take care of it, massages, acupuncture, you know, whatever your body needs to continue moving in a way that keeps you in the ring safe, keeps your opponent safe, and keeps your body going. And the flights. I had a month where I flew coast to coast like eight times. Flights do damage to your body, you know, sitting crammed in a seat. It's not easy. Taking care of yourself on flights, stretching before your flight, taking vitamins. These are things that I feel for me, I've been doing, and it's been helping me out a lot." THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Pacifico has mostly been seen on the independent scene working his way through to make a name for himself. But he’s met a whole host of characters as well. Richard Holliday, Ben Bishop, Effy and Rhett Titus have all become big names on the independents over the last few years. Pacifico floated those wrestlers who he thought could work well in movies. "I would love to see Richard Holliday definitely," he told OutKick Dropkick. "Come on, he’s amazing. I think he’s amazing. Ben Bishop, amazing. These are the people anyone would say because they’re just killing it and they’re just amazing people. I’ll go a step further, there’s a lot of guys who have just this amazing question. Besides the obvious two, because personality is everything, Gangrel – I think he’s done films already but I would love to see him in another movie. "Effy, come on! And there is stuff in the works with Effy in a film. I’m working on some things. And he’s a person that I’ve put the name for this film and he’s somebody who would kill it. He’s done some film stuff I think. I think he’s done some TV and film stuff but Effy, I believe, if he went hard on it, he would kill it. Rhett Titus – so underrated. Amazing wrestler, but his personality and his comedic timing and his charisma is massively underrated." "I Dream of Pizza" is in pre-production. For now, fans of Pacifico can see him in "Mr. Reset and the Society of Turnbuckle & Bone" and "Between the Living and the Dead."

The dispute erupted after the tribunal announced the suspension of its president, Bogdan Święczkowski, a move that supporters of Tusk’s government described as necessary to restore judicial independence, while critics denounced it as an unconstitutional power grab. Marcin Przydacz, the head of the International Policy Bureau in Nawrocki’s office, took to European TV Monday morning denouncing Tusk’s actions saying, "Even lawyers who are close to the Tusk government say that there's absolutely no legal basis for such behavior." POLISH PRESIDENT TURNS PLANE AROUND AFTER 'COUP' AT NATION’S TOP COURT The dispute is also triggering diplomatic fallout, with at least three Polish ambassadors resigning in protest. Przydacz, a former parliament member of the now-opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party, says Poland’s permanent representative to the U.N. since 2021, Krzysztof Szczerski, resigned Monday, which followed the resignations over the weekend of the ambassadors to China and Romania. "This crisis didn’t begin on Friday," said Simone Rodan‑Benzaquen, senior envoy to Europe at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. "Poland has been living with a deeply compromised Constitutional Tribunal for more than a decade." Rodan-Benzaquen said the confrontation cannot be understood in isolation. Parliament has continued appointing judges under Poland's constitution, but several of those appointments have been blocked from taking office amid a years-long standoff between the government, the presidency and the tribunal itself. "This isn't simply a case of Tusk deciding to pack a functioning, independent court ahead of an election," Rodan-Benzaquen tells Fox News Digital. "There is a genuine institutional crisis that predates his government, and a legitimate question of how to resolve it." That underlying conflict exploded into public view Friday after Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska suspended Święczkowski and his deputy, triggering protests outside the tribunal and prompting Nawrocki to abandon a trip to Senegal. Police detained three people after some demonstrators clashed with officers outside the court complex. HUNGARY AND POLAND DEFEND TOUGH MIGRATION POLICIES AS FRANCE REELS FROM VIOLENT UNREST Rodan-Benzaquen cautioned that concerns about Friday's actions are not limited to supporters of the opposition, saying they "raise serious questions about the legality and proportionality of the methods being used." Critics of the government have described Friday's events as an unprecedented assault on Poland's constitutional order. "My former boss, Margaret Thatcher, would have been absolutely appalled by what we're witnessing in Poland," Nile Gardner, director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation told Fox News Digital. "This is clearly a crisis for Poland and an attempted coup by Donald Tusk." "This has all the hallmarks of a Soviet-style coup operation," added Gardner, who said Tusk waited until Nawrocki was traveling out of the country, accusing the prime minister of undermining the tribunal and further destabilizing Poland ahead of next year's election. "It's the sort of thing you'd expect actually from a third world dictator." Others reject the coup characterization. Boštjan Udovič, chair of international relations at the University of Ljubljana, says the dispute centers on the government's attempt to restore judicial arrangements that critics of the previous PiS government say were inconsistent with both Poland's constitution and European legal standards. "Tusk wants to restore the situation as required by the constitution and the international institutions," Udovič said. "I think that he hoped the transition would be easier." Tusk defended his government's actions as part of an effort to restore the rule of law, accusing both the president and the tribunal of improperly blocking judges elected by parliament from taking office. "The solution to the conflict is simple," he said on Monday. "The President recognizes the judges legally elected by [parliament], because that is what the Constitution stipulates." He accused Nawrocki of "choosing forceful confrontation, which could cost Poland very dearly. A democratic state under the rule of law cannot yield to violence." POLAND ARRESTS RUSSIAN ALLEGEDLY HIRED TO KILL UKRAINIAN-AMERICAN WHO WAS 'INCONVENIENT TO THE PUTIN REGIME' "Restoring the rule of law is essential," Rodan-Benzaquen says, warning against viewing the dispute purely through a partisan lens. "But the legitimacy of that restoration depends not only on its objectives, but also on the legality of the means used to achieve it." The divide in Poland has increasingly been reflected abroad, with European institutions and political leaders offering sharply different interpretations of the crisis. The European Commission has largely backed the Polish parliament's authority to appoint judges. European Commissioner Michael McGrath said selecting new judges lies within the powers of Poland's parliament. French opposition leader Marine Le Pen, meanwhile, accused Brussels of applying a double standard. "One cannot claim to defend democracy and the rule of law while remaining silent when the constitutional balance of a member state is gravely threatened," she posted on X. "The proliferation of such strong-arm tactics within the European Union itself is beginning to raise serious questions."  "America is on Poland’s side," U.S. Ambassador to Poland Tom Rose posted to X, urging restraint. "Our concern is for the stability, security, and democratic future of a country we are proud to call our friend and ally… Poland has come too far and accomplished too much to let political differences, no matter how strongly felt, put any of that at risk." For Rodan-Benzaquen, the larger issue extends far beyond the events of Friday night. "One side claims to be defending constitutional order against the abuses of the other, while the institutions that should arbitrate the dispute have themselves become the object of the dispute," she said. With parliamentary elections in Poland only a year away, the battle over who gets to define the rule of law may prove more consequential than the confrontation that unfolded this weekend. Calling Tusk’s tactics "straight out of the Putin playbook," Gardner warns Poland is in "an incredibly dangerous situation right now, and the blame is squarely at the door of Donald Tusk and his government." The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae8e4c9726b22deeb69abf0 ESPN's Monica McNutt and Ryan Clark claim Caitlin Clark has brought 'negativity' to the WNBA te 2026-11-02T19:30:17.471Z ESPN's Monica McNutt and Ryan Clark claim Caitlin Clark has brought 'negativity' to the WNBA There are two things that ESPN's Monica McNutt, and the former ESPN personality are good for: Bad takes and race-baiting. They did just that on a recent episode of Ryan Clark's podcast "The Pivot." McNutt, who has thrown shade at Caitlin Clark and her fans for years now, saying asinine things like: Clark needs "accountability" & "self awareness," insinuating Clark is an immature 24-year-old who needs to embrace the WNBA "sisterhood."  McNutt also told the BBC that little girls became fans of and are drawn to Caitlin Clark because she’s white. No, it couldn't be because Clark was College Basketball's all-time leading scorer, hits logo threes, drops dimes at a historic pace, is wildly competitive, and may be one of the most approachable superstars in sports. It can't be that, according to McNutt. McNutt, in response to Caitlin Clark's flagrant foul on Angel Reese and the online discourse in 2025 following the incident, race-baited again. "If this was the other way around, oh Lord, you can imagine how the conversation would've gone," McNutt stated. She also scolded fans saying they need to "respect the humanity of these women," while crying about Angel Reese allegedly receiving "racist comments" and how Clark is always the one labeled as the "victim." LET'S HAVE AN HONEST CONVERSATION ABOUT CAITLIN CLARK, RACISM, AND MEDIA COWARDICE| BOBBY BURACK And in one of the most hypocritical moves, McNutt made this statement during Caitlin Clark's historic rookie season: "My rookie of the year is going to go based on the standings... And the Sky right now are in the playoffs. So, you'd have to give the nod in my mind to Angel Reese." It was one of the worst takes of the season as Clark was a -550 favorite to win at that point compared to Reese's +350. But what made it so hypocritical was when the Fever made it into playoff contention, she didn't make that same argument. She went silent. I wish I could say I was shocked, but this is the pattern we've seen from McNutt since Clark entered the league. This is why I've referred to her as the "female Ryan Clark." ESPN'S COVERAGE OF CAITLIN CLARK IS A RACIALLY CHARGED, DISHONEST, AND EMBARRASSING MESS | BOBBY BURACK While sitting down with Ryan Clark, McNutt answered a question regarding the "positivity" and "negativity" the Indiana Fever star has brought to the league. Clark asked, "How do you balance the positive effect that Caitlin Clark has had on the coverage of the league and the negativity that it has also brought to the WNBA?" STACEY DALES PROVIDES MUCH-NEEDED LOGIC TO ESPN'S CAITLIN CLARK COVERAGE, DISMANTLES RACE-BAITER ON SET "I think you can certainly celebrate the basketball and the growth, and then you just kind of gotta be honest about the rest of it," McNutt said in response. "I think the exit interviews when Indiana wrapped up [the season] left some folks scratching their heads," McNutt went on to say. For context, here's what Caitlin Clark had to say in her exit interview in response to her teammate Kelsey Mitchell saying she's been the victim of hate, while once again denouncing racism: "Obviously I saw Kelsey’s comments and I think as her teammate, it makes you upset because you care about your teammates so much and you don’t want any of them to go through something like that," Clark said. "I think, as far as people that have used me to demonstrate racist rhetoric or hate or discrimination, that’s not something I stand for. CAITLIN CLARK SAYS SHE BLOCKS SOCIAL MEDIA HATE AND ENJOYS HOSTILE WNBA ROAD CROWDS "That’s never been something I’ve stood for. For those of you that know me, you know that’s not what I’m about. It’s not how I was raised, so that’s really disappointing when people do that," Clark stated. "Anytime I see something like that, it makes me upset, makes me sad, makes me really disappointed because that’s not who I am. It’s not what I’m about." KELSEY MITCHELL’S CAITLIN CLARK COMMENTS DESERVE CONTEXT, INCLUDING THE BENEFITS OF ALL THAT ATTENTION McNutt went on to make an unfounded claim to Ryan Clark saying, "To Caitlin Clark's credit, she did call out the things that she does not support, which I have not heard vocally from her many a time." Clark has denounced racism many times since her rookie season. She did it in her exit interview after her historic rookie season. She's denounced racism in every single season. Honestly, it seems Clark has had to speak on it at least a dozen times a season. It is always in response to allegations from opponents and the media. Caitlin Clark has made her stance clear and many in media have made her fans out to be the worst of the worst in sports fandom. A claim that is not substantiated, in my opinion. So maybe the problem is the fact that McNutt and other WNBA media aren't listening. I would go as far as saying that maybe the problem is that people like McNutt can't stand that Clark wants to strictly focus on basketball and take a "Republicans buy sneakers too" Michael Jordan approach. Maybe she can't stomach the idea that Clark, clearly the biggest and brightest star the WNBA has ever had, is not some in-your-face left-wing political activist like so many players in the league. I'm not sure, though. I can only guess based on McNutt's previous comments regarding Clark and her massive fanbase. PLAYERS AND MEDIA HATE FEVER FANS FOR ONE SIMPLE REASON: THEY THINK THEY'RE CONSERVATIVE You have to remember that this is how McNutt operates. She won't take accountability for her comments and hold her co-hosts and fellow WNBA media members accountable for their divisive, uncharitable rhetoric and comments. Instead, she constantly shames the one white player, who has been vilified by media, beaten up by her opponents, and been mistreated, misrepresented, and misunderstood since she first stepped on a WNBA court, though she has made the WNBA relevant and potentially profitable for the first time in the league's history. McNutt shames Clark for not doing enough to combat McNutt's perceived racism from her fans. All, while ignoring years of divisive statements, crying wolf like "monkey noises" directed at Angel Reese, and political inflammatory activism that has made conservatives and independents who have flocked to the WNBA because of Clark, out to be the problem. It's willful ignorance, in my opinion. McNutt then laughably claimed on the podcast that Clark was ignorant to racism because of where she grew up saying, "I can hold a little bit of grace for [a girl from the] Midwest." She stated further pretending to speak for Clark, "Those issues are not as pressing to me." McNutt finished her diatribe saying, "It's going to take you a minute to find your voice on topics that can be deemed 'complicated' if you are not steeped in them, right?" To me, a statement like that is insulting to Clark and every American from the Midwest. It also seems to prove my point that it's not the fact that Clark has denounced racism over and over for three years now, it's that McNutt has a standard that Clark and all Midwesterners aren't living up to, in her opinion, so she doesn't believe Clark is doing enough. FEVER GENERAL MANAGER AMBER COX CALLS OUT 'ATTACKS' ON THE FAN BASE IN SEASON-ENDING PRESS CONFERENCE After speaking for a minute on racism, McNutt briefly mentioned the positive effects Caitlin Clark has had on the WNBA, saying the "eyeballs are fantastic" and "the energy is great," while acknowledging that Clark is an "incredible athlete," she then shamed Clark again for seemingly allowing fans to use her name in racist ways. "But I think for me, there is no way that someone would use my likeness to support causes that I am against." Notably, in 2024, during her rookie season, Clark spoke to claims that people have used her name for racism, misogyny, and more. "Yeah, I think it’s disappointing… People should not be using my name to push those agendas," Clark said. It's clear that it will never be enough for McNutt. She doesn't care to talk about the record attendance, record viewership numbers, charter flights for every team, record salaries, and how Clark is the only reason the WNBA has some sort of cultural footprint after being irrelevant to the general public for thirty years. I could share dozens of statements from Clark over the years. Racism has been addressed, denounced and, unfortunately, I believe it will have to continue to be addressed throughout Clark's entire career. It will not stop unless she puts a stop to the narrative and broad-brush accusations that her fans are some sort of white supremacist group, in my opinion. It won't ever be enough, so I suggest Caitlin Clark should say, "I've made my stance clear for years. Next question." In the meantime, the WNBA media and players will most likely continue to bite the hands that feed them, and they won't learn a thing. Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae8e4c7726b22deeb69abe7 Vance's midterm rally blitz draws attention from GOP insiders weighing 2028 predictions te 2026-11-02T19:30:15.485Z Vance's midterm rally blitz draws attention from GOP insiders weighing 2028 predictions SWANTON, Ohio — As Republicans rally ahead of a midterm election that will determine whether the GOP maintains control of both chambers of Congress, Vice President JD Vance is taking to the campaign trail once again to speak with voters in New York and Ohio on Monday. Vance’s role in the midterm blitz has been eyed by many top GOP strategists and insiders who say his actions on the trail could offer insight into what a 2028 run might look like for the 42-year-old vice president. "Vice President Vance is constantly on the road," House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., told Fox News Digital. "I believe he's been in just shy of 50 battleground districts and or states this cycle. He's been a workhorse. I mean you look at Donald J. Trump, who's out there constantly. He just doesn't stop. And of course, people don't maybe notice than the vice president is keeping a schedule himself that is frankly incredibly impressive." EXCLUSIVE: INSIDE VANCE'S INTIMATE CAPITOL HILL HUDDLE AS REPUBLICANS CONFRONT TOUGH MIDTERM TERRAIN Vance has held 19 rallies since the GOP midterm convention in early September and dozens of events across the country prior to the convention in Dallas. His role in the midterm has fueled further speculation about his potential run for president in 2028. Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer explained that his midterm campaign efforts add to his resume, but that his fundraising abilities and his role as finance chair of the Republican National Committee will also be an important advantage that Vance would have in a run for president. SECOND LADY USHA VANCE KEEPS 'OPEN MIND' AMID JD VANCE 2028 SPECULATION "I think which makes this vice president unique, though, is that it's a combination of the policy chops that you just mentioned, but the political chops," Spicer told Fox News Digital I've noted this over and over again that, like, he is the first vice president to ever be the finance chair of the RNC." "His network of donors is going to be a massive advantage if he runs in '28," he added. TRUMP TOLD DONORS 'WE NEED TO ELECT JD,' SOURCE CONFIRMS, AS HE WEIGHS VANCE OR RUBIO IN 2028 Vance has repeatedly told reporters that he is focused on his current portfolio of work and has shied away from questions concerning a potential run for the Oval Office. He is, however, the favorite in several prediction markets. President Donald Trump told reporters in late October that he is focused on the midterms before looking at which Republican may run in 2028, saying: "It’s early. We are very early right now. We have to get through the midterms. We’ll see how it goes." As for the work Vance is doing off the campaign trail, former White House Chief of Staff and former RNC Chairman Reince Priebus compared the responsibilities of former Vice President Kamala Harris to Vance, saying that that Vance has had to take charge of more key issues — from leading the anti-fraud task force to negotiating a peace deal in the Middle East. "If you compare it to the portfolio of Kamala Harris, whose first job was to secure the border, it ended up being a complete and total disaster," Priebus told Fox News Digital. "He's a trusted administrator of huge problems facing our country. So that is very clear. He's a little bit of a whiz kid too." POLL FLASHES WARNING SIGNS FOR REPUBLICANS IN 7 BATTLEGROUND SENATE RACES Pollsters predict that Democrats have an edge in the House as the midterms approach, while the Senate remains "on a knife edge," according to Priebus. The former RNC chairman noted that traditional red and blue waves are far rarer now that in previous midterm elections, noting a smaller number House seats shift between parties every cycle. THE NINE KEY RACES THAT WILL DECIDE WHO CONTROLS THE SENATE, AND WHERE THEY STAND "There are so few districts in our entire country that are up for grabs," Priebus said. "At 435 house seats, how many are really in play? Maybe 30? And in those 30, there's probably only about 5,000 votes in each of those 30 that could go either way. So, that's why you have ripples, I think, nowadays and not waves. The Senate races are all on a knife edge." While President Trump is known for hosting a staggering number of rallies, Vance’s increased presence in the midterm blitz has led to his name emerging alongside President Donald Trump as the face of the party, according to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. "I think a lot of people have seen him in the shadows of Donald Trump, not as an individual campaigner," Meadows told Fox News Digital. "But as someone who would continue the Trump legacy." THE ONE LINE FROM JD VANCE’S GOP KEYNOTE THAT REVEALS HIS VISION FOR AMERICA "I think for the first time, a broader spectrum of people are seeing JD Vance as the campaigner, and not as a campaigner for him personally," Meadows said. "And, you know, I point out that most of his dynamic interactions have not been in Iowa or New Hampshire or South Carolina." GOP members of Congress have also noted the increased presence of the vice president as they fight to maintain the majority in the House. Rep. Brandon Gill, R-TX, told Fox News Digital he traveled with Vance to Texas and noted the impact that the vice president had in the state. "Kamala Harris couldn't go out and campaign for people because nobody would want to see her," Gill said. "The American people love Vice President Vance. I mean, at all the rallies I've been out with them, they were packed, people were fired up." The vice president held two rallies ahead of the midterm on Monday, one in Rome, New York and the other in Swanton, Ohio – advocating for GOP congressional candidates and pushing for the Republicans to maintain the majority.

TMM Family Services provides affordable housing and programs for seniors, veterans and families in crisis, with a focus on mothers and children working to get back on their feet. Its Runway to Resilience event, held Oct. 21, aims to promote womanhood, community and help for people in need through a panel discussion, with proceeds supporting that work. Tickets cost $100, and sponsorships ranged from $1,000 to $10,000. Cool Willies and Trinity Diamonds were the presenting sponsors, and True Me Inspire Boutique presented the fashion show. Across the tables in the grand hall at The Treasury 1929, white and cream floral arrangements were dimly lit by warm floor lights. Above the guests, a twinkling chandelier hung close enough to the second floor that patrons could almost touch it if they leaned past the railing. Attendees greeted each other before the event, hugging old friends and meeting new people, including Veronica Norzagary, founder of True Me Inspire Boutique on the northwest side. “The women who do this are all very powerful, beautiful women who all support their community,” she said. “True Me Inspire is all about supporting women and anything within the community.” Tucson Spotlight trains the next generation of Southern Arizona journalists and publishes their work free for everyone. No paywalls, no corporate backing — just readers who believe this community deserves better local news.

The program began with gratitude for the attendance, venue and numerous sponsorships as the first course of dinner arrived. As the second course began, four women in different leadership roles headed to the podium. The stories of Vanecia Kerr, Calline Sanchez, Natalie Fernandez and Heather Thompson all had something in common: resilience. “I used to think resilience meant being strong all the time, figuring everything out on my own,” said Thompson, a caregiver and single mother of four. “Now I know it also means being brave enough to ask for help and keep going when you don’t know how things will work out.” The women answered questions and shared stories about the hardships they’d faced in their different walks of life, while also offering hope. “I need to be the person to encourage myself and to move forward to accomplish the kind of things that I know are going to best serve the people in my community,” said Kerr, president and CEO of United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona. “And that would allow me to be the person that can be an example for other people.” As the last of the dessert plates were cleared, the speakers finished their thoughts. “This is one organization that’s here to help people once they have figured out ‘I can do something different than what’s currently happening within my life,’” Kerr said. Participants make their way down a marble staircase at The Treasury 1929 during TMM Family Services’ Runway to Resilience show Oct. 21. Marlon Bedoy / Tucson Spotlight. Beyond housing, TMM offers workforce development courses and community connections that help mothers reach independence. It also runs a ReStore and a Community Closet. Attention turned to the back of the room as the event’s emcees returned. Emcee Krystal Pino smiled at a leopard-print cocktail dress. “That is a girl’s night out waiting to happen,” she said. The show had three themes, with all of the clothing from True Me Inspire. The themes were Business Chic, Cocktail Attire and Gala Elegance, and the models exuded professionalism and confidence as they strutted down the center of the event hall. As they passed each other in the middle, many of them shared sweet moments, briefly holding each other’s arms or laughing and posing together. They all looked happy to be part of the show. The night ended with the raffle and auction. Winners took home shopping spree gift cards, self-care bundles and a set of diamond earrings from Trinity Diamonds.

Arizona Public Media’s Arizona Illustrated is hosting Thriving in the Desert at 11 a.m. Nov. 7 at the Paul and Alice Baker Center for Public Media. The event will connect attendees with a panel of landscape architects and local specialists who will discuss how community members can help create a sustainable future for the plants, wildlife and people who inhabit Southern Arizona. The event is free to attend, but advance registration is requested. The panel will be moderated by Arizona Illustrated producer Tony Paniagua and include the Arizona Wildlife Federation’s Trica Oshant Hawkins, Strategic Habitat Enhancements founder Carianne Funicelli and Nolan Bade, a landscape architect and instructor at the University of Arizona’s College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture. “All of them are centered around ways people in Southern AZ can adapt their surroundings to better support the natural surroundings we live in, whether that is native plants and practices, water harvesting, community planning and landscaping or gardening,” said community events coordinator Timna Elisa Guerchon. The event’s theme is growing and creating, with the panel structured around Douglas Tallamy’s book “Nature’s Best Hope,” which draws attention to the rapid decline of wildlife populations. In the book, Tallamy suggests that by planting more native plants, homeowners can transform their backyards into thriving habitats for wilderness species.

Jack Dash, Tony Figueroa and Brad Lancaster speak at a past Thriving in the Desert panel. This year’s panel will focus on how Southern Arizonans can plant for wildlife and save water. Courtesy of AZPM. The event will also include research from scientists and writers who have done similar work, Guerchon said. Bade, who has been a landscape architect for 10 years, combines ecology and civil engineering through his firm, BLOOM, to create outdoor habitat for animals, plants and people. He encourages people to look beyond traditional landscape architecture aesthetics. He finds that because of circulating misinformation about the “right way to plant,” people often underplant in their own gardens. “Plant as much as you can. If some of it dies, that’s OK,” he said. He said that people often think Arizona is only able to foster cacti, but the state’s ecosystem is capable of cultivating an array of vegetation. “We are stuck in this idea that Arizona doesn’t have plants everywhere, which is untrue,” Bade said, adding that Tucson is stuck in a xeriscaping culture because of the desert’s limited water access. “Choosing ecological designs with naturalistic water features would allow for tree growth and allow other plants to thrive.” Bade said this would lower a person’s water bill over time because tree canopies shade and cool gardens. Saguaros and other desert plants surround Arizona Public Media’s new Paul and Alice Baker Center for Public Media. After the Nov. 7 panel, attendees can tour the grounds to see how AZPM is using the kind of landscaping the panelists will discuss. Courtesy of AZPM. There are also ways to retrofit current systems on an individual and local level to let the natural world thrive. “Humans have an innate need for nature, but we have nature deficit disorder,” Bade said. Bade will share more steps households can take to achieve sustainable solutions for plants and wildlife in their community. “We host these about every six months,” Guerchon said of the event, although this will be the first installment of Thriving in the Desert held in AZPM’s new facility, which opened in May. After the panel, attendees will have the opportunity to take a short tour of the new grounds to see how AZPM is integrating the type of landscaping discussed in the panel. The tour will be hosted by project landscape architect Dustin Simmons of SmithGroup. Guerchon said the event will also include a screening of an Arizona Illustrated segment focusing on Project Wildlife Bisbee.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae8d90c726b22deeb69a959 House Dems demand Haley Stevens' exile as Jeffries reveals deadline on deciding her fate te 2026-11-02T18:40:12.891Z House Dems demand Haley Stevens' exile as Jeffries reveals deadline on deciding her fate House Democratic leaders are holding off on deciding whether to punish Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., after she endorsed a Republican in Michigan's Senate race, drawing calls from fellow Democrats for her removal from the party's House caucus. Stevens endorsed former Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., over Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, a former public health official, on Nov. 1 — just two days before Tuesday's midterm elections. The decision prompted sharp criticism from Democrats, including lawmakers who want Stevens expelled from the House Democratic Caucus, but party leaders are waiting until after the elections to address her future. HALEY STEVENS RIPPED BY FELLOW DEMS FOR REFUSING TO EXPLICITLY BACK EL-SAYED: 'STAY THE F--- OFF TELEVISION' A senior Democratic aide told Fox News Digital that House Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., would likely support House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., in his response to Stevens' endorsement. HALEY STEVENS' FIANCE HAMMERS EL-SAYED, SAYS HE'LL VOTE FOR ROGERS "Haley Stevens made a terrible decision, blindsided everyone and isolated herself from the House Democratic caucus. We will have a discussion about appropriate next steps upon our return," Jeffries told POLITICO. Spokespeople for Jeffries and Aguilar did not respond to Fox News Digital's requests for comment. Stevens, a four-term lawmaker, is leaving Congress at the end of the year after narrowly losing Michigan's Democratic Senate primary to El-Sayed. Since her loss, Stevens has taken a lukewarm approach to supporting El-Sayed’s campaign while also criticizing his approach to Israel and Jewish and Black voters. BLACK VOTERS, JEWISH DEMOCRATS IN MICHIGAN WARY OF VOTING FOR EL-SAYED, SAY 'HE'S TAKING ADVANTAGE' That fragile peace ruptured over the weekend when El-Sayed’s campaign publicly asked Stevens to abstain from appearing at any of his events even after she said she would attend church with him and Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., in a bid to mobilize Black voters. Stevens apparently blindsided fellow Democrats when she then appeared at another church alongside Rogers and his wife and subsequently endorsed the Republican ahead of Election Day. EL-SAYED'S PAST MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD COMMENTS RAISE RED FLAGS AS HE EYES POWERFUL ROLE Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., said during a Sunday appearance on CNN that Stevens had reassured her "multiple times" over the weekend that she would not endorse Rogers. "I don't know what changed between late Saturday and Sunday morning," Dingell said during another CNN appearance Monday. And the endorsement also spurred her ouster from the Michigan state Democratic Party. Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Curtis Hertel wrote on X that Stevens "is not a current member of the Michigan Democratic Party, nor will she be in the future" after she backed Rogers. In the House, Democratic officials such as Reps. Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., have already called for Stevens’ removal. "Deplorable and embarrassing. Capitulating to fascism, Islamophobia, racism and the policies hurting everyday Americans makes you unfit to serve with the Democratic caucus," Ramirez wrote on X. "Shame on Haley Stevens. She must be removed from the caucus." HALEY STEVENS CONDEMNS HASAN PIKER BUT RALLIES BEHIND EL-SAYED AFTER NARROW PRIMARY LOSS Ramirez did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., echoed Ramirez’s claim and added that Stevens "has no place in our party," according to POLITICO. Vocal organizations aligned with the Democratic Party, such as the IfNotNow movement, have also formally called on the congresswoman to be removed from the caucus, calling her endorsement a betrayal to the party. "As national organizations representing Jewish, Muslim, and Democratic voters opposed to Donald Trump's war on Iran, which is responsible for the rising costs of gas and groceries and an affordability crisis that is taking a heavy toll on working families at a time when the future of our democracy is at stake," the organization said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital. "We call on House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries to expel Congresswoman Stevens from the Democratic Caucus and strip her of her committee assignments." If Stevens was removed from the caucus, she would no longer be able to attend its weekly meetings in the U.S. Capitol. Democrats could also pursue action against her committee assignments, though the process and authority for doing so would need to be determined under the applicable caucus and House rules. And it appears Stevens' staff have also shunned her over the endorsement. When Fox News Digital reached out to her office for comment on the backlash from House Democrats, an automated response from her communications director said he is "no longer with the Office of Congresswoman Haley Stevens" as of Nov. 1, the day she backed Rogers.

Researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center found that temporarily boosting a protein called p53 helped specially prepared immune cells stay stronger and kill more melanoma cells in laboratory experiments. The study, published in Frontiers in Immunology, focused on T cells, which are immune cells that help the body fight disease. NEW CANCER VACCINE DELIVERS STUNNING RESULT AGAINST ONE OF THE DEADLIEST SKIN CANCERS Some cancer treatments take a patient's T cells, modify them in a lab so they can recognize cancer, and then return them to the body to attack tumors. One challenge is that these cells can eventually become "exhausted," making them less effective at fighting cancer, the UCLA researchers said. To address that problem, researchers treated human T cells with an experimental drug called navtemadlin, which temporarily increases the activity of p53, a protein known for helping to prevent cancer. The treated T cells showed fewer signs of exhaustion, had more energy and developed characteristics that could help them last longer. When tested against melanoma cells in the lab, they were also significantly more effective at killing the cancer cells than untreated T cells, according to the research. CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES Kien Vuu, a Los Angeles-based triple board-certified physician and former UCLA assistant clinical professor, confirmed that T-cell exhaustion is one of the biggest challenges encountered with these treatments. "After repeated encounters with cancer, they become 'exhausted' and lose their ability to multiply and attack," Vuu, who was not involved in the research, told Fox News Digital. Vuu said the approach could offer a relatively simple way to strengthen existing treatments. "The practical appeal is simplicity," he said. "Rather than adding another genetic modification, this approach adds a drug during the manufacturing step, when a patient's T cells are being prepared in the lab." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER If the approach works in further research, Vuu said it could potentially help T cells remain effective for longer, particularly when treating solid tumors. The findings are still preliminary, however. "This is early, laboratory-stage research," Vuu acknowledged. "The experiments were done with human cells in a dish against melanoma cells, not in animals or people." Researchers will need to test the approach in animals and other types of cancer before moving into clinical trials, according to Vuu. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ The amount of the drug will also need to be carefully studied. The UCLA researchers found that higher doses caused more T cells to die, while lower doses produced the desired effects without substantially reducing the number of healthy cells. "Dosing is especially important," Vuu said. "The researchers found that too much p53 activation actually killed more of the T cells, so getting the balance right will be critical." "Patients shouldn't expect this in the clinic soon, but it's a promising new direction worth following." Fox News Digital reached out to the researchers for comment.

The Democratic candidate's campaign said Sunday’s haul came from more than 65,000 donors, who gave an average of $36.74. Nearly 29,600 people contributed to the campaign for the first time. The fundraising surge came on the heels of Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., endorsing Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers on Sunday after months of turmoil following her primary loss to the more progressive candidate. DEMOCRAT HALEY STEVENS ENDORSES GOP SENATE NOMINEE MIKE ROGERS "As Michiganders head to the polls, the momentum behind Abdul’s campaign has never been stronger," campaign spokesperson Cole Wozniak said in a statement following the final-hour cash haul. Stevens, who was considered the more moderate establishment candidate in her primary against El-Sayed earlier this year, said she remains "a very proud Democrat" who loves Michigan. She insisted, however, in the video message posted to social media over the weekend that she could not support El-Sayed, citing his backing from radical left-wing political streamer Hasan Piker. "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 and he's right. And that's why I'm endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today," Stevens said in a video posted on X. The endorsement of the Trump-backed Republican candidate drew swift criticism from Democrats. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called it "a despicable betrayal" and said his caucus in the upper chamber remains united behind El-Sayed. Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel also condemned Stevens’ decision, saying she had "abandoned everything she claims to care about." El-Sayed brushed off the endorsement Sunday, telling reporters he does not think about Stevens or Rogers and was focused on voters and policy. He also has attempted in recent months to distance himself from Piker amid the streamer's rising national recognition and increased scrutiny on his controversial statements — including antisemitic sentiments and claiming that "America deserved 9/11."

According to a probable cause statement, an officer responded to a call near John Wayne Parkway and Bowlin Road about 6:48 a.m. Oct. 24. He saw a vehicle speed away before crashing into a median. Despite this, the vehicle continued swerving through the roadway before stopping after its front passenger-side tire blew out near Alterra Parkway, according to the probable cause statement. The officer identified the driver as Destini Freeman and said he smelled alcohol when he approached her. Freeman initially refused to exit the vehicle and then attempted to run, according to the statement. A second officer helped detain Freeman. Police said she pushed, pulled and kicked officers, striking them several times as they tried to handcuff her. A passenger told police the group had been drinking and that Freeman was also under the influence of cocaine, according to the probable cause statement. The passenger also said Freeman did not want to stop because she had a warrant and a firearm was in the vehicle. Officers obtained a search warrant for a blood sample, and lab results showed alcohol and cocaine in her system, according to the statement. Freeman was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault, resisting arrest, driving under the influence, unlawful flight, speeding and not having a valid drivers license, and was booked into Pinal County Jail. Court records show Freeman was charged with unlawful flight from a pursuing law enforcement vehicle, a Class 5 felony, and first-offense DUI involving liquor, drugs or vapors, a Class 1 misdemeanor.  The post Police: Driver fought officers after crashing in Alterra appeared first on InMaricopa.com.

It does, and there are a ridiculous number of games on the slate tonight. Most of the games are not impressive — a team like Texas taking on Chicago State is not an interesting game. They are going to win by 30 or more, and the spread is 41.5. Spreads and betting do help make the game more exciting, but I have a different game that should be more entertaining anyway. Miami and Florida battle tonight in the only ranked match up of the day. The Miami Hurricanes come in ranked as the 14th-best team in the country. As with many teams in the college ranks, the Hurricanes are trying to quickly integrate returning stars with transfers and additions. The key returning players are Malik Reneau, Shelton Henderson, and Dante Allen. Reneau was the team's leading scorer last year and should once again be the focal point of the offense. Henderson is entering his second year and will likely give the team some solid outside shooting. Allen isn't quite the scorer the other two are, but he does make solid plays and could be an excellent facilitator and occasional scorer. In terms of transfer players, the team will have point guard Acaden Lewis coming over from Villanova. It wasn't like Villanova was great last season, but it is a high-quality program, and Lewis could be a difference-maker for Miami. Somto Cyril is a rim protector, and he should be a good dump-off option. I am concerned to see how Reneau and Cyril space down low. Both can clog the paint, but that might mean they get better looks from the outside.

Last season, he was the SEC Sixth Man of the Year, and Klavzar is a great outside shooter. Their bench even has some guys providing excellent backup options. That doesn't mention their best player, Thomas Haugh. He chose to stay for another year at Florida instead of taking on the NBA. I'm not sure he would've been a high draft pick, though. The team is deep and has played together for a long time. UCONN, KANSAS AND TEXAS OFFER THE BEST COLLEGE BASKETBALL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP ODDS VALUE Longevity and familiarity should help the Gators in this game. Florida is expected to be one of the best teams in the country, and they come into this knowing the goals, game plan, and plays. Tonight's contest is at a neutral site, being played in Tampa. Seeing as it is the first game of the season and played in an unfamiliar arena, the under is a very logical choice. I think a better option is to take Florida -5.5, though. They should have the edge in this game behind a deep team, and one that has played together for a couple of years at least. Give me the Gators to cover.

The legal standoff escalated after a federal judge granted the Justice Department’s request to intervene and join the civil rights lawsuit originally brought by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch. Attorney Precious S. Jacobs-Perry, who represents Evanston, indicated the Chicago suburb intends to file a motion to dismiss the government's complaint, while insisting the city will not back down on its program. CHICAGO SUBURB EXPANDS CASH HANDOUTS AS RACE-BASED REPARATIONS PROGRAM FACES MAJOR LEGAL BATTLE "Evanston’s race-based 'reparations' program is illegal under federal law. We will be opposing the motion to dismiss," a DOJ spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Monday. Democratic Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss has fired back against critics of the program, telling CNN in June it was done to attack a wealth gap and "pay a debt." The initiative provides $25,000, direct housing-related benefits and cash payments to Black residents and descendants of Black residents who lived in Evanston between 1919 and 1969. In 2019, Evanston became the first U.S. city to approve a municipal reparations plan, pledging $10 million over a decade funded by a local cannabis tax. BLACK CHICAGOANS CALL ON REPARATIONS FROM GOVERNMENT, MONEY DEPOSITS LIKE 'STIMULUS' CHECKS However, the DOJ contends the suburb’s program unlawfully distributes taxpayer benefits based strictly on race and ancestry. In its complaint, federal prosecutors allege the program violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment as well as the Fair Housing Act. The Justice Department’s aggressive stance comes after U.S. District Judge John F. Kness previously denied Evanston’s attempt to toss out Judicial Watch's underlying lawsuit. SAN FRANCISCO JUDGE NOT CONVINCED REPARATIONS FUND WILL BE DISCRIMINATORY DURING LAWSUIT HEARING Judicial Watch filed the class-action civil rights lawsuit on behalf of six non-Black individuals who lived in or had ancestral ties to Evanston during the qualifying era but were barred from applying due to their race. "Evanston’s $25,000 government payments based on race are blatantly unconstitutional," Judicial Watch attorney Michael Bekesha told Fox News Digital. "Evanston already tried and failed to dismiss Judicial Watch’s lawsuit, and we do not expect its latest effort to dismiss the Justice Department’s complaint to succeed." Bekesha, senior attorney for Judicial Watch’s Constitutional Rights Litigation Program, added: "Regardless of what happens with the Justice Department’s case, Judicial Watch will continue fighting to end Evanston’s racist reparations program once and for all." Evanston spokesperson Cynthia Vargas said, "The City of Evanston does not comment on pending litigation, but we will continue to vehemently defend any lawsuit brought against our city's reparations program."

The wind was blowing, and the rain was coming down in buckets. The Bucs offense decided to keep it on the ground and take their chances in the mud rather than airing it out in a downpour. The approach was a successful one. It was also an historic one for the franchise. They set a new franchise single-game rushing record with 324 yards on the ground. Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell each ran for more than 140 yards. Baker Mayfield's role was to hand the ball off. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! He didn’t complete a single pass on just three attempts in the 16-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons. A feat that hasn't taken place since the Buffalo Bills did it all the way back in 1974. The Falcons took their chances passing and quarterback Michael Penix Jr. was only able to complete 8 of his 24 attempts for 125 yards. The Bucs defense picked him off four times while keeping Atlanta out of the end zone. It was an all around gritty performance by the Bucs that extended to the sideline where the cheerleaders didn't let the rain slow them down. They didn't reach for the rain gear. DALLAS COWBOYS CHEERLEADERS HAVE FUN IN BRAZIL DESPITE CRUSHING DEFEAT, BROWNS FANS FIGHT & SAD MICHIGAN FANS The Tampa Bay Buccaneers cheerleaders performed in the rain and the mud like the rest of the team. Unlike the offense, they were still able to get it done through the air too. That is what you call sticking together as a team. They could have headed for cover, but they had a job to do. They stuck it out, battled the elements, and helped gut out an ugly, much-needed win at home. It's easy to go out there and take the field when it's sunny and 85 in Tampa. It's a lot harder to do it in the middle of a downpour. But they didn’t blink on Sunday and won their second game in a row. After a 1-5 start, the Bucs are suddenly 3-5 with back-to-back wins over division opponents and are a game back of first place in the loss column.

Haley Stevens faced hard questions from her liberal interviewer about her last-minute decision to endorse Republican Mike Rogers over Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan's Senate race on Sunday. "Your fellow Michigan congresswoman, Debbie Dingell, said that she talked to you at midnight last night and that you told her you were not going to endorse Mike Rogers. If that is true, what changed between then and this morning?" CNN host Anderson Cooper asked. Stevens responded, "This is just a weight off my shoulders, OK? Abdul has been getting angrier and angrier. I was trying to help, and I endorsed him. That [Rebellion PAC] ad was very painful. There are so many Democrats who want to vote for our Democratic nominee. And they’re just being told, ‘Hey, this a party you don’t belong in, or this is a campaign you don’t belong in.’ And I’ve never cast a present vote in the Congress. I'm making a decision here, and you know, that’s just where I landed on this. I woke up this morning… clear-eyed, fresh and focused on what was in my heart and that’s that." FORMER RIVAL DODGES FULL-THROATED EL-SAYED ENDORSEMENT AFTER BITTER SENATE PRIMARY Stevens announced her endorsement of Rogers on Sunday in a stunning about-face, following El-Sayed saying, in her words, she was "no longer welcome in his campaign." El-Sayed edged Stevens in their hotly contested Democratic primary race for the Senate nomination. The endorsement followed a controversial ad put up by Rebellion PAC, founded by The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur, in support of El-Sayed's campaign, which Stevens called antisemitic. She demanded El-Sayed condemn the ad and his campaign said it was not affiliated with the ad. El-Sayed said he disagreed with its contents, which showed grocery shoppers blaming Israel for rising prices. Cooper continued questioning Stevens about what prompted her change of heart. HALEY STEVENS RIPPED BY FELLOW DEMS FOR REFUSING TO EXPLICITLY BACK EL-SAYED: 'STAY THE F--- OFF TELEVISION' "I had some time to, you know, think. I wasn’t on the phone, I think, that late, but I know Debbie’s always working around the clock," Stevens said. "It might not have been midnight when I spoke with her. But I was there, and just alone with my thoughts. I was writing things out. And look, this level of anger, and the things that we are seeing, look, we all want Democrats to win. I’m a really proud Democrat. And by the way, Abdul’s got every other Democrat with him. He just doesn’t have me and a few other people who love this party. Nothing with me changed, Anderson." Cooper asked about an August social media post in which Stevens criticized Rogers, writing, "Mike Rogers will be another rubber stamp for Donald Trump’s dangerous agenda, we can’t afford to give MAGA another Senate seat in November." Asked why she was now supporting Rogers, Stevens pointed to El-Sayed and criticized what she described as his "anger" and "lack of kindness." At one point in the interview, Stevens said that it sounded like Cooper was angry with her as well, as he argued she wasn't answering his questions. "It sounds like last night was a really big night where a lot built up what the turning point was," Cooper said. HALEY STEVENS' FIANCE HAMMERS EL-SAYED, SAYS HE'LL VOTE FOR ROGERS "That’s your assumption, Anderson," Stevens said. "I mean, that’s your editorializing. I certainly didn’t say that." "But you were willing to be at a campaign event for him [El-Sayed]," Cooper said. "You wanted to be at a public event with him up until some point, I guess, yesterday. And it’s just an interesting change. And I think a lot of people are curious to try to understand it." Stevens paused for several seconds before asking, "Was that a question, Anderson, or –" "No, I wanted to see if you wanted to fill in silence, but you don't," Cooper said. Stevens paused again before saying Michiganders were going to the ballot box, and she had made her "proclamation clear." HASAN PIKER BRUSHES OFF DEMS WHO SEE HIM AS A LIABILITY, NAMES HIS '28 CHOICE Adrian Hemond, the CEO of Michigan-based consulting firm Grassroots Midwest, told Fox News Digital in a statement, "This endorsement would have had far more impact if she had done it a month ago. More than 2 million people have already voted." Stevens' office did not immediately return Fox News Digital's request for comment. The Rogers campaign also did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Zeteo founder and former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan called Stevens a "train wreck" in the interview. Republican CNN contributor Shermichael Singleton said he felt sorry for Stevens in response to the interview. Dingell, who came on CNN to speak with Cooper after Stevens, called it one of the "most painful" interviews she has ever watched. HALEY STEVENS URGES EL-SAYED TO DITCH HASAN PIKER AFFILIATION AFTER MICHIGAN PRIMARY "I’m not sure I would have done this if I’d known she was going to be on immediately before me," Dingell said. "I have been worried about her all last week. She’s a human being. I’ve had multiple conversations with her. I’m far from being the only one that has. And I’m very concerned that this has all become a distraction." Dingell claimed Stevens had told her she was not going to endorse Rogers. CLICK HERE FOR NEWS ON MEDIA AND CULTURE Democrats erupted after Stevens decided to endorse El-Sayed's Republican rival in the Michigan Senate race, calling her a traitor and opportunist.

The Louis Carlos Bernal Gallery’s latest exhibition, “Artists From the Border,” includes a small collection of paintings and sketches from modern artists Oscar Fernando Bernal and Alejandro Macias, whose work reflects their lived experiences on two different sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. The exhibition opened Oct. 26 and runs through Dec. 11, with a free reception scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. Nov. 12. “One of my goals is to introduce artists at Pima to artists from Mexico, and vice versa,” said gallery director David Andres, who is also displaying his own work in a gallery in Hermosillo, Sonora. “That’s what this is about: drawing and painting . . . to help educate our students here. Not just about cultural significance, but of techniques that they might be able to use in their own work.” Andres said that because of the relationship between the college and the University of Arizona, art students are often inspired to continue their studies at the UA. In fact, Macias is an associate professor in UA’s School of Art. Andres said that while exhibiting artist Oscar Fernando Bernal is not related to gallery namesake Louis Carlos Bernal, both families have speculated otherwise. Oscar Fernando Bernal was born in Nogales, Sonora, in 1945 and moved to Mexico City to study under renowned sculptor and painter Francisco Zúñiga. From there, he moved around northern Mexico, eventually settling in the San Francisco Bay Area. Your membership pays emerging journalists to cover Southern Arizona the way it deserves. Oscar Bernal’s 2002 oil painting “Message to an Intruder” hangs in the back half of the gallery, where his work is displayed. Quentin Agnello / Tucson Spotlight. Andres said Oscar Fernando Bernal’s work was inspired by the cultural backgrounds of the times and places he experienced, but that the gallery has only a fraction of his work. “This is not a complete representation of his work,” Andres said. “Most of his work was sold. We were lucky to get this amount of pieces.” Oscar Fernando Bernal was inspired by artists including Goya, Velázquez and Rembrandt, blending the styles of these masters with his experiences of contemporary Mexico. In the 1960s, despite an early economic and industrial boom, Mexico was ruled by a single party, the Institutional Revolutionary Party, which held the presidency until 2000. According to his online biography, Bernal became actively involved in the student revolt of 1968 and survived the massacre that followed at Tlatelolco Square. Oscar Fernando Bernal’s displayed work mixes Catholic Church and Spanish imagery, such as bullfighters, with colors and fashion reminiscent of Soviet-era Russia. The exhibition also includes his sketchbooks, which contain pop art and abstract human forms with animal features evocative of surrealist style. Oscar Fernando Bernal died in 2016 after a motorcycle accident. His work fills the back of the gallery, while the front belongs to an artist who is still working. Alejandro Macias is a contemporary artist who grew up in Brownsville, Texas. He works in pencil, pen, charcoal and oil paint. “They’re all slightly different, but I think what the thread in all of the work is, most of it is compositionally divided,” Macias said. “A lot of the images manifested from those feelings of angst, of dealing with trying to fit in somewhere.” Alejandro Macias’s “Out of Sight (Conceal) III” layers found wood and acrylic over an oil portrait. Macias said much of his work comes from feelings of angst and trying to fit in somewhere. Quentin Agnello / Tucson Spotlight. Macias said the imagery of cacti overlapping the portraits is symbolic of the colloquial term “nopal en la frente,” which means “with a cactus on your forehead” and refers to a person’s cultural identity and their connection to it. The phrase is sometimes used negatively to suggest that someone of Mexican heritage, despite having the complexion and physical characteristics, is ignorant of their cultural ties or is rejecting them through their attire and profession. “How do you deal with that?” Macias asked. “How do you confront that? How do you digest it daily? Those are the questions I’m trying to provoke.” The phrase reflects how others perceive a larger cultural identity and how a person negotiates their own. Macias hopes his work will inspire students at the college and that, if they go on to study at UA’s School of Art, they will feel more comfortable recognizing the work of a professor. Though the gallery is divided, both halves represent two artists whose cultural heritage is intertwined, even as a national border separates their lived experiences. Andres said that beyond teaching art students, the exhibition is meant to pull back the curtain in a media environment where people’s perception of Mexico is colored by fear generated through sensational coverage rather than lived experience. The Louis Carlos Bernal Gallery is in the Center for the Arts on Pima Community College’s West Campus, 2202 W. Anklam Road. It is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday. Admission is free.

It indicated the end of a 25-year drought, as the school advanced to its first Final Four since 2001. Much has changed for Arizona since then. After college basketball’s long-lasting offseason, the moment has morphed into a distant memory for Lloyd.  “Really long and slow, but it was awesome,” Lloyd said, describing the offseason to reporters after the Wildcats’ 85-54 exhibition win over Eastern Washington. “That seems so long ago that it’s hard for me to even think about it.” The Wildcats will begin their 2026-27 campaign under the bright lights of Las Vegas, taking on old Pac-12 rival UCLA at T-Mobile Arena on Nov. 2 at 8 p.m. MST.  After the program’s Final Four run a season ago, Arizona will bear the weight of trying to live up to the achievements of last year’s team.  And expectations are high. Big 12 coaches picked Arizona to repeat as league champions in the conference’s preseason poll. Additionally, the Associated Press labeled the Wildcats as the No. 5 team in its AP men’s college basketball preseason poll.  Even though Lloyd referred to preseason rankings as “fool’s gold,” it doesn’t mean that he wants his team to shy away from the lofty expectations. “The first thing with expectations is they’re a privilege,” Lloyd said at Big 12 Media Days. “I don’t think you should look at it any other way. I don’t think you need to guard against it.” Still, the message has remained the same: It’s time to turn the page. “The sooner you can dissociate from what happened last year and understand this year is its own journey and kind of build from square one, I think, is the important thing,” Lloyd said. “There’s no skipping steps: having a successful season, building a team. You just have to kind of get back to square one and be OK with that.” The Wildcats won’t be starting completely from scratch. While much of last year’s core departed for the NBA Draft, Arizona retained a few returning starters to bolster a new-look squad.  Senior center Motiejus Krivas, the preseason Big 12 Player of the Year, headlines the Wildcats’ frontcourt. The 7-foot-2 Lithuanian big man averaged 10.4 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, while anchoring the Arizona defense a season ago.  Meanwhile, preseason all-conference forward Ivan Kharchenkov slides in on the wing, coming off a season in which he also averaged 10.4 points per game and proved to be a pest on the defensive end.  The pair of veterans should help bring stability to a team that’s undergone a roster overhaul in the past few months.  “It’s not easy to rebuild almost a whole new team,” Krivas said. “I feel like with the good job this summer, it’s still an ongoing job.” Lloyd has collected an impressive trove of talent throughout his tenure in Tucson. But few carried the same pedigree out of high school as the gem of his 2026 recruiting class: freshman guard Caleb Holt. 247Sports tabbed Holt, a Prolific Prep grad, as its No. 2 overall recruit in its composite rankings.  Krivas, Kharchenkov and Holt form a talented Arizona “Big Three” that poses a threat to defenses at all three levels. Nonetheless, it’s always been a team game to Lloyd.  “I’m not into ‘Big Three,’” Lloyd said. “I’m into ‘Big Seven or Eight.’” Last year, Arizona relied on a collective effort to pound the ball into the paint. The Wildcats’ overwhelming and extensive array of height and length allowed them to dominate opponents on the interior.  The Wildcats don’t boast a talent down low this season like forward Koa Peat, the Phoenix Suns rookie who was selected in the first-round pick in the NBA Draft – especially if fifth-year forward RJ Godfrey remains sidelined.  His fate lies in the hands of the court system. Godfrey, a 2022 high school graduate, spent three years at Clemson and one season at Georgia. He averaged 12 points per game on just over 61% shooting a year ago.  While the NCAA is in the midst of instituting a new five-year eligibility model, athletes who graduated in 2026 were deemed ineligible to receive a fifth year. Some athletes, including Godfrey, have attempted to appeal to the courts in hopes of receiving a preliminary injunction to play a fifth year. “You wish cooler heads to prevail and give these kids the opportunity that they deserve because these kids did nothing wrong,” Lloyd said of Godfrey. “They’re missing out on a life-changing opportunity. “Getting him back would be a definite boost to our program and to our roster. I would feel pretty good, long-term, if we get him back.” Godfrey’s absence could lead Arizona to spread the floor and shoot the 3-ball more frequently. It was an Achilles’ heel for the Wildcats last season, with their 5.9 made 3-pointers per game, ranking 334th in Division I. “I think we have a whole bunch of guys from one through five that can shoot the ball,” Holt said. “It’s a lot for teams to guard us inside and out. I feel like the 3-point (game) makes us even more of a weapon, more than our inside presence.”  While Arizona’s playstyle might change, the standard and culture remain intact. It’s an area where Lloyd won’t budge, whether in practice or on game day.  “It’s not just something we talk about. It’s something you have to do,” Lloyd said. “Building a culture is a living organism. It’s not words on paper. We’re very intentional with building our culture, valuing it and understanding what it means to us. It’s a huge part of what we do on a daily basis.” It’s within this culture that Arizona has found consistency. The Wildcats have made the NCAA Tournament in every season since Lloyd arrived in Tucson in 2021, advancing to the Sweet 16 or further in all but one year.  For Lloyd, who has always taken a big-picture approach to the season, the secret sauce for making another deep run in the Big Dance isn’t complex: Stack good days and learn from adversity.  “It could happen again,” Lloyd said of his team’s chance to make another deep postseason run. “But you have to do the work. The work’s going to be painful. There’s going to be some tough moments. There are growing pains. “Tough moments and adversity create opportunity and learning. We have to take advantage of every one of those.” Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae8cd64726b22deeb69a3d1 Election 2026: Departures set to shake up representation in Arizona's 6th Legislative District te 2026-11-02T17:50:28.946Z Election 2026: Departures set to shake up representation in Arizona's 6th Legislative District Regardless of the outcome on Election Day, Arizona’s 6th Legislature District will see at least two new lawmakers headed to the state capitol in January.

The Cowboys grabbed hold of a 24-10 lead on the second play of the fourth quarter before being outscored 20-6 over the remaining 14 minutes and change inside Jerry's World. The Cardinals officially pulled off the stunning comeback with a 42-yard field goal with just under three minutes remaining in overtime to steal a 33-30 win. With the loss, Dallas fell to 3-5 on the year, with three of its five losses coming at home, and Pickens made it abundantly clear that he has had enough of the losing. JERRY JONES SAYS COWBOYS COACH WON'T BE FIRED AFTER LOSS BUT INDY'S SHANE STEICHEN HAS NO SUCH PLEDGE MONDAY In a video that has made the rounds on social media, Pickens was seen quickly running to the Cowboys' locker room just after the Cardinals ended the game.

Pickens hauled in just two catches for 48 yards against Arizona, and his four total targets were the second fewest he's gotten all season. For comparison, CeeDee Lamb was targeted 11 times by quarterback Dak Prescott during the contest. The sky may seem like it's falling in Dallas, which is a feeling Cowboys fans are used to at this point, but with the franchise being a part of the NFC East, all hope is, miraculously, not lost just yet. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER While Dallas would much rather be 4-4 on the year as opposed to 3-5, the Cowboys are still very much alive to win the division. The New York Giants lead the way at the moment with an overall record of 4-2-1. The Cowboys will take on the 2-6 Indianapolis Colts in Week 9 in what is an absolute must-win game if they want to keep pace in their mediocre division.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae8cb02726b22deeb69a334 Bears vs. Seahawks tonight as Caleb Williams faces one of the best defenses in football te 2026-11-02T17:40:18.418Z Bears vs. Seahawks tonight as Caleb Williams faces one of the best defenses in football This was one of the strangest weeks of football I can remember. That doesn't mean there were no upsets or that there were otherworldly performances from players. It was just a strange day of football, with a team winning without completing a pass and another team losing two quarterbacks on a total of four drives. Will the weirdness continue tonight, or will the Bears and Seahawks have a fun and exciting game tonight? The Chicago Bears are one of the more exciting teams in football. They are 5-2 for the season with a 2-1 road record, and they now have their quarterback under center again, giving them a dynamic and exciting offense. However, this will likely be the hardest game of their early season. They are facing one of the best defenses in football, and it may be a struggle for the Bears to get that offense rolling. Caleb Williams will need to use his legs and arm to give the Seahawks different looks. I will say that I wonder just how good the Bears actually are this season. Their wins were against the Panthers, Eagles, Jets, Falcons, and Patriots. Their losses were against the Vikings and the Packers. The Panthers could be a playoff team, and the Patriots should make it to the postseason, but the only ones that have a greater than 50% expectation of making the playoffs are the Vikings, Packers, and Patriots. The team just went out and traded for Jeffery Simmons to bolster the defense, and perhaps that will make the difference. BEARS ACQUIRE ALL-PRO DEFENSIVE LINEMAN JEFFERY SIMMONS FROM TITANS IN BLOCKBUSTER TRADE The Seattle Seahawks are the defending champions, but their team has struggled a bit this season. Sure, they've shown flashes of excellence. Some of their games have been very impressive, and the team is 4-3 for the year, but there are also some questionable games. They've lost to the Commanders, 49ers, and Broncos. Two of those three are almost certainly destined for the postseason. The wins have been over a bad Chargers team, the Patriots, the Cardinals, and last week, the Chiefs. What exactly is the issue, then? The defense is elite, the team has a decent schedule, and the offense is ranked 12th in the NFL in yards per game. Honestly, it is hard to pinpoint. Sam Darnold hasn't been very good this season, and the running game has struggled. The team is averaging just 113.7 yards per game on the ground, which is about middle of the pack. Darnold, though, has thrown eight touchdowns and also eight interceptions. Jaxon Smith-Njigba might be the best receiver on the planet, and if he were off the team, it probably wouldn't have a passing game either. SEAHAWKS DOMINATE CHIEFS 20-3 AS SAM DARNOLD SILENCES CRITICS IN POTENTIAL SUPER BOWL PREVIEW I think this game is likely to go under the 46.5 total. The Bears are a good enough offensive team, but I don't think we can count on them to be quite as effective tonight. The Seattle defense and the home crowd should be very active tonight. The Bears' defense is not great, but they play a style that should be perfect for this game. They bend but don't break. The Seahawks' offense is just not great at getting into the end zone right now. Smith-Njigba should have a good game against an inferior secondary, but it all depends on whether the Seahawks offensive line can give Darnold enough time and Darnold makes the right reads. Give me under 46.5. I do lean to Seattle covering as well.

"Give it up for your next congressman Dr. Freddy Haynes. Thank you, Dr. Haynes, for those kind words and for your service to this community," Talarico said, following an introduction and speech from Haynes. Although Talarico has not issued a formal endorsement of Haynes, the moment is notable for Talarico as he pitches himself as a Democrat who can represent the values of the Republican-leaning Lone Star State — and as he tries to distance himself from controversy over past remarks Republicans have characterized as woke. TALARICO RALLY WARMUP ACT CALLS FOR ABOLISHING ICE, CONTRASTING SENATE HOPEFUL'S MESSAGE Haynes, the pastor of Friendship-West Baptist Church, has framed many of his political views in the context of race and did so again on the event with Talarico. "You transformed ICE into the new KKK and brought about terror in this nation," Haynes said of Trump's use of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). "It’s time to melt ICE. It’s time to abolish ICE," Haynes added. Haynes is running to fill the seat of Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, the incumbent in Texas' 30th Congressional District who gave up her seat in a Senate bid she ultimately lost. During his campaign, Haynes has framed his support for climate policy as a fight against "environmental racism." He has also accused conservatives and the Trump administration of benefiting from fears of Black advancement. "They have used Black people and perceived Black progress as the boogeyman. We have not witnessed this kind of corruption, this kind of blatant corruption," Haynes said in an October interview. "We are witnessing the demolishing of what democratic infrastructure was built by the gains of the civil rights movement," Haynes added. Even before his congressional run, Haynes made political commentary that relied heavily on a racial lens. After the death of Charlie Kirk, a conservative political commentator who started Turning Point USA, Haynes described Kirk as a man with views "rooted in white supremacy" and contrasted it with the deaths of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. "A White Christian gets killed, murdered — not assassinated. We going to tell the whole truth today. Martin King got assassinated. Malcolm X got assassinated. Medgar Evers got assassinated. Don’t compare Kirk to King," Haynes said in a September 2025 address to his church. UN PUSHES NATIONS TO CONSIDER SLAVERY REPARATIONS BUT LEGAL GROUP SAYS IDEA 'NOT GOING TO FLY IN THE US' Haynes would go on to condemn Kirk's death and political violence. Haynes has also said he was a personal supporter of reparations. "America, you owe us. What you done to us has been immoral. It’s been evil. It’s been unjust. It’s been downright wrong and the only way to bring salvation to America - you gotta pay us what you owe us," Haynes said at a Solidarity for Reparations event at a San Francisco church. "I've come by to say, San Francisco, California, Texas, United States of America, if you want salvation to come to this house, you've got to engage in reparations." For his own part, Talarico has also supported the idea of reparations, framing it as an outflow of his religious convictions. "Reparations, repairing past harms, is part of my faith tradition. It’s part of the values I was raised with," Talarico said in a town hall meeting in July. "We have to correct the injustices of our past." In the closing days of his campaign, Talarico has argued that, despite some of his views on race and gender which run counter to conservative stances, he could still represent Texas as a moderate. TALARICO SAYS HE 'MISSED THE MARK' AS HE BACKTRACKS ON CONTROVERSIAL WOKE STATEMENTS "Our campaign has been able to show that you can be a more moderate, reasonable candidate and still be exciting," Talarico said in October. Talarico’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment if his comment about Haynes should be viewed as an endorsement of his platform or his views on race in politics.

The Field of 68 is reviving the all-day opening marathon, the same idea ESPN ran for nine years before shelving it in 2017. Sixteen mid-major programs play eight games back to back. Murray State and Tennessee State tip it off at 11:30 a.m. ET in Sioux Falls, and Furman and Bethune-Cookman close it out at 8 p.m. ET in Rock Hill. These are the games where sharp bettors hunt for value, since the books have less information on mid-majors than anyone in November. Most top programs open with a buy game. Florida and Miami decided to skip that step. The two meet at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN2 in the marquee game of the day, with Florida opening as one of the top teams in the country and Miami ranked as well. A game this early comes with real uncertainty, from new rotations to transfers playing their first meaningful minutes together, and that’s exactly what makes it fun to bet. Duke and Oklahoma will be big favorites at home, while Dayton gets a first-ever meeting with an NJIT team that went 16-17 last season.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae8c659726b22deeb69a258 Union boss stuns with major Republican endorsement as election nears te 2026-11-02T17:20:25.186Z Union boss stuns with major Republican endorsement as election nears The leader of one of the nation’s oldest and largest unions stunned political observers by issuing a surprise endorsement for a Senate Republican stalwart over the weekend. Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien, who famously nearly came to blows with now-Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin during a Senate hearing before ultimately becoming acquaintances, issued a ringing endorsement of Sen. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., signaling a major break from national union sentiment that has tended to favor Democrats. "Just voted in the State of Florida for the first time, and very proud to have cast a ballot for Sen. Ashley Moody," O’Brien, whose 123-year-old union is about 1.3 million-strong, announced Sunday. 5 TAKEAWAYS FROM FLORIDA SENATE PRIMARY: GOP SEN ASHLEY MOODY WILL FACE DSA'S NIXON "Sen. Moody has been extremely helpful working with the Teamsters to protect workers’ pensions, defend good-paying jobs, and support well-funded union apprenticeship programs." "The Teamsters look forward to working with Sen. Moody in her role on the Senate HELP Committee to pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act and get this critical legislation signed into law to protect American workers," he added. FRUSTRATED BLUE-COLLAR UNION BOSSES RIP SOCIALIST POLITICIANS, WARN OF LABOR EXODUS FROM DEM PARTY O’Brien, a self-described "lifelong Democrat," previously spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention, but emphasized at the time that the Democratic Party had snubbed his request to speak at its convention. "If the far-left want to criticize me and attack me, that’s OK. If the far-right wants to do the same, that’s great. I represent 1.3 million hardworking men and women," O’Brien said at the time. Fox News Digital reached out to the Teamsters as well as Moody’s campaign for comment. Moody, a former state attorney general, said in a statement that she was proud to have O’Brien’s endorsement: "I’ll always fight to protect hardworking Americans, strengthen good-paying jobs, and ensure resources are available to train our next generation. It’s been great to deliver for Florida’s working families," she said. After O’Brien endorsed Moody, the lawmaker’s Democratic opponent responded by posting a photo she once took with O’Brien and writing that "Ashley Moody never walked the line with you." AOC BACKS FLORIDA DEM ANGIE NIXON FOR US SENATE: 'I’M PROUD TO ENDORSE HER' "But ok brother. Shout out to all the rank and file Teamsters that are voting for me. I will always stand with you," Democratic nominee Angie Nixon, a state lawmaker from Jacksonville whose platform is considered DSA-aligned, wrote on X. O’Brien also caught heat for voting in Florida, which appeared to signal a move from his hometown of Boston. SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER "Be union leader — move to a famously anti-union state — vote for a famously anti-union candidate — Brag about it — really cool stuff man," a top commenter on O’Brien’s post said. Other critics characterized O’Brien as a "scab", union jargon for someone who crosses a strike picket line to return to work for the company with which they are at odds. The Teamsters leader’s announcement marked a noteworthy development with polls set to open nationwide in a matter of hours.

El Pima Joint Technical Education District es un programa con sede en el Condado de Pima que ofrece trayectorias de educación técnica y profesional a los estudiantes de preparatoria de la zona. El programa les permite formarse en los oficios de su elección, adquirir experiencia mientras aún cursan sus estudios secundarios y obtener certificaciones estatales. Los programas del JTED abarcan diversos oficios, carreras en áreas STEM ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas y otros campos. Según su sitio web, el número promedio de estudiantes inscritos diariamente ha aumentado un 77% en los últimos cinco años. La Proposición 427 permitiría al distrito emitir y vender bonos de obligación general por un valor de $250 millones, destinados a financiar mejoras de capital. Las mejoras de capital propuestas incluyen fondos para construir, adquirir, ampliar o renovar tanto los campus satélites existentes como otros nuevos. Estas obras permitirían expandir programas en áreas como medicina, soldadura y electricidad, además de aumentar la matrícula estudiantil. La ampliación de la oferta educativa abarcará diversas opciones profesionales, incluyendo ingeniería, robótica, manufactura, atención médica, entre otras. Aproximadamente $163 millones se destinarán a los campus centrales, mientras que $63.7 millones se asignarán a los campus satélites. Otros $8.25 millones se utilizarán para fines administrativos, con el fin de respaldar el cumplimiento de todos los objetivos planteados. De aprobarse, los bonos tendrían un plazo previsto de 15 años, aunque se estima que el reembolso total no superará los 20 años. Las tasas de interés variarán según las condiciones del mercado; no obstante, el distrito contempla una tasa promedio del 5% anual, la cual no excederá, en ningún caso, el 10% anual. Apoye el periodismo que conecta con la realidad de Tucson. Estudiantes de Pima JTED trabajan en proyectos informáticos durante un evento de presentación del programa. Si los votantes aprueban la Proposición 427 el 3 de noviembre, la emisión de bonos por $250 millones ayudaría a ampliar programas en áreas como la ingeniería, la robótica y la manufactura. Caitlin Schmidt / El Foco de Tucson. El distrito prevé vender los bonos por etapas. El distrito reembolsaría los bonos mediante los ingresos provenientes de impuestos sobre el valor de las propiedades gravables dentro del distrito. Se estima que la tasa impositiva secundaria anual promedio aumentaría 14 centavos por cada $100 de valor de la propiedad. Bajo este esquema impositivo, las viviendas ocupadas por sus propietarios con un valor estimado de $250,000 experimentarían un aumento de $41 al año, o $615 en un periodo de 15 años. Para una propiedad comercial valorada en $1 millón, el costo sería de $244 al año, o $3,660 en 15 años. En el caso de propiedades agrícolas o terrenos baldíos valorados en $100,000; el costo sería de $24 al año, o $360 en 15 años. El cronograma estimado de la deuda indica que los bonos generarían poco más de $83 millones en intereses hasta el año 2042, lo que elevaría el costo total de reembolso a $333,010,000. La emisión de cada serie de bonos tendría un costo estimado de $90,000. El límite legal de endeudamiento del distrito es actualmente de $166,474,449; por lo que la emisión de bonos por $250 millones superaría dicha cifra. Sin embargo, la ley de Arizona permite que el distrito solicite una autorización de bonos por encima de este límite y los emita una vez que cuente con la capacidad de endeudamiento necesaria, algo que el distrito espera alcanzar. Líderes locales han expresado su apoyo a la medida. Alex Jacome, presidente de la junta directiva de Pima JTED, señaló en una carta de apoyo que la venta de bonos garantizaría el crecimiento de las oportunidades para los estudiantes y les permitiría adquirir competencias fundamentales. “Pima JTED ofrece a los estudiantes trayectorias hacia el éxito, programas de vanguardia, formación práctica y habilidades interpersonales que les brindan las bases necesarias para satisfacer las demandas de nuestra fuerza laboral en los sectores empresarial e industrial,” escribió Jacome. “La Propuesta 427 permitirá a Pima JTED invertir en espacios educativos fundamentales, mediante la ampliación y construcción de nuevas instalaciones, así como en la adquisición de equipamiento.” Alison Flynn Gaffney, directora ejecutiva de Banner-University Medicine, destacó la creciente necesidad de contar con personal sanitario cualificado en la región. “El acceso temprano a una formación profesional y técnica de alta calidad puede abrir puertas al desarrollo profesional, al tiempo que ayuda al condado de Pima a formar y retener talento cualificado,” señaló Flynn Gaffney. “Para muchos estudiantes, Pima JTED representa el primer paso hacia carreras como enfermeros, asistentes médicos, técnicos quirúrgicos, personal de emergencias médicas, profesionales de la salud conductual y otros miembros esenciales de nuestra comunidad sanitaria.” No se presentaron argumentos en contra de la Propuesta 427, y tampoco existe una campaña de oposición organizada. 💡 Las elecciones generales tendrán lugar 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.  Ian Stash es egresado de la Universidad de Arizona y periodista independiente en Tucson.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae8c1ab726b22deeb69a101 Co-pilot killed in fiery Florida Learjet crash identified as 20-year-old who learned to fly before driving te 2026-11-02T17:00:27.314Z Co-pilot killed in fiery Florida Learjet crash identified as 20-year-old who learned to fly before driving The co-pilot aboard a private jet that crashed into a South Florida neighborhood Sunday, killing all nine people on board, has been identified as a 20-year-old aspiring airline pilot who earned her wings before getting her driver's license, according to a report. Nathalia Gadelha's mother and stepfather confirmed to the New York Post that she was the co-pilot aboard the Learjet 60 that plummeted into a residential area in Palm Beach County while traveling from Texas to the Bahamas. Gadelha, who grew up in Palm Beach County, made headlines in 2023 when she earned her private pilot's license at just 17 years old while attending West Boca Raton High School. DEADLY CRASH KILLS TWO AS PLANE PLUNGES INTO 'BALL OF FLAMES' NEAR SUBURBAN GOLF COURSE "I definitely do brag because people say, 'Oh, you can't drive,' and I'm like, 'Yeah, but I can fly,'" she told local station CBS12 at the time. Gadelha began taking flying lessons in 2020 and received additional instruction from her father, who had learned to fly recreationally in 2018, the outlet reported at the time. The 2023 news report detailed how she accumulated 88 hours of flight time while pursuing her private pilot's license, which was funded through the School District of Palm Beach County's Aviation Academy. The young aviator later graduated from American Flyers, a flight school based in Addison, Texas, with a location in Pompano Beach, Florida, according to the Post. Gadelha told CBS12 that she hoped to become a commercial airline pilot. In a recent social media post cited by the Post, she shared a video of herself flying with her boyfriend, Justin, highlighting their aviation accomplishments at such young ages. "How often do you see 2 pilots under 21 with a commercial, multi-engine, instrument, CFI/CFI-I," she wrote, referring to several aviation certifications and instructor ratings. The Learjet 60 departed Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas and was headed to North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas when it crashed near Cresthaven, Florida, around 12:50 p.m. Sunday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. All nine people aboard the aircraft were killed, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed Sunday afternoon. 4 FLORIDA FAMILY MEMBERS FOUND DEAD AFTER SMALL PLANE GOES DOWN OFF THE BAHAMAS Air traffic control recordings captured by LiveATC.net revealed that the flight crew reported ice accumulation and turbulence before the aircraft began rapidly losing altitude, according to The Associated Press. "We have light, clear ice that is manageable and moderate turbulence," a pilot told controllers. The crew subsequently requested permission to climb another 2,000 feet before declaring an emergency as the aircraft plunged toward the ground. "We're descending 8,000 — mayday, mayday — we're descending 10,000 feet per minute," a pilot radioed, according to the AP. "We are in an overspeed condition descending 20,000 feet per minute," the pilot continued, before warning, "We're going to crash into the ground." Dashcam footage captured the jet plunging nose-first into the neighborhood, as Fox News Digital previously reported. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis described the crash as "cataclysmic." The crash also forced the evacuation of approximately 600 people from a nearby mobile home community, according to local officials. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash. The cause has not been determined, and NTSB officials are expected to provide an update Monday.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae8baa1726b22deeb699f8c Mamdani, Hasan Piker among radical left-wing voices erupting over Haley Stevens' endorsement switch te 2026-11-02T16:30:25.990Z Mamdani, Hasan Piker among radical left-wing voices erupting over Haley Stevens' endorsement switch Prominent Democrats and left-wing voices nationwide exploded with fury after Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., endorsed Republican Mike Rogers in the final stretch of that state's U.S. Senate race in Michigan over the weekend. In her video posted to social media on Sunday after attending church service with Rogers, Stevens noted how El-Sayed told her to "stay away" from his campaign and slammed him for embracing radical steamer Hasan Piker — who was among those criticizing the endorsement stunt. "Working class people’s lives are on the ballot on Tuesday—their healthcare, their rent, their bills," New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in an X post. "Haley Stevens just betrayed them by endorsing the very Republican she said she wanted to run against." Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel said on X shortly after the endorsement: "Congresswoman Stevens is not a current member of the Michigan Democratic Party, nor will she be in the future." EL SAYED'S LEFT-WING ALLIES ATTACK 'EVIL' STEVENS AFTER BOMBSHELL ROGERS ENDORSEMENT Stevens, who will leave Congress in January, lost the Democratic primary to El-Sayed earlier this year. She was widely viewed as the moderate, establishment candidate compared to the more progressive, left-wing policies of her opponent. On Sunday, Stevens abandoned the party in the final hours of the Senate campaign as Democrats seek to win back control of the upper chamber. "This is a despicable betrayal from Rep. Stevens," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on X. "Senate Democrats are united in our support for Abdul El-Sayed, because we know he will fight for the economic interests of working families in Michigan, unlike Mike Rogers, who is a tool of Donald Trump and billionaire donors." DEMOCRAT HALEY STEVENS ENDORSES GOP SENATE NOMINEE MIKE ROGERS AT DETROIT CHURCH "Haley Stevens made a terrible decision, blindsided everyone and isolated herself from the House Democratic caucus," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y. "We will have a discussion about appropriate next steps upon our return." Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., called Stevens "clearly disturbed," and said she "has thrown her constituents under the bus" on several key midterm issues. HALEY STEVENS RIPPED BY FELLOW DEMS FOR REFUSING TO EXPLICITLY BACK EL-SAYED: 'STAY THE F--- OFF TELEVISION' "Too many people live off their 15 minutes of fame," Pocan continued. "In this case, she threw away an entire career because she couldn’t get over a loss and needed attention. Pathetic. Sad. Clearly she has some serious issues. But no one will take her seriously ever again." Outside of her own colleagues condemning her endorsement, Stevens also saw an immediate staff exodus after she posted the video. After the endorsement, a visibly upset El-Sayed demanded the media focus their questions on political issues, rather than Stevens' stunt. EL-SAYED’S HASAN PIKER PROBLEM FOLLOWS HIM TO DEM CONVENTION AS JEWISH VOTERS BREAK RANKS "I'm going to ask that when we take questions, you keep your questions focused on the issues that Michiganders really care about. Now that might not drive clicks for you. I get it. I understand your business, right? But they're the issues that Michiganders are paying attention to," he said. FORMER RIVAL DODGES FULL-THROATED EL-SAYED ENDORSEMENT AFTER BITTER SENATE PRIMARY Stevens drew an official condemnation from the Democratic Party at a national level, too. "Haley Stevens’ disappointing decision to endorse Mike Rogers, a Trump ally who would join Republican efforts to sell out working families, is a betrayal of the values of the Democratic Party," Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman Ken Martin said in a statement on behalf of the organization. "At a moment when Democrats are united in fighting for Michigan families and standing up to Trump’s agenda, we reject these efforts to sow division within our party. We will not allow last-minute political stunts to derail our momentum and we will triple down on our efforts to elect Abdul El-Sayed on Tuesday." The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), chaired by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., lashed out at Stevens' decision, too. MICHIGAN SENATE RIVALS CLASH OVER MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD ALLEGATIONS AS ROGERS DOUBLES DOWN ON EL-SAYED "The stakes of this election could not be higher: Mike Rogers is a rubber stamp for Donald Trump, and together they plan to continue sowing chaos and making life unaffordable for families while prioritizing their billionaire donors at the expense of Michigan families," the DSCC statement said, adding the group will "reject any efforts to divide Democrats ahead of Tuesday’s crucial election." DEMOCRAT RIPS HASAN PIKER AS 'HACK WHO THRIVES ON HATE' OVER HIS WARNING TO AMERICAN JEWS ABOUT ISRAEL Piker, who was at the center of some of the reason Stevens' broke from El-Sayed, simply wrote: "i [sic] condemn haley stevens." Piker has caused major controversy in the Michigan race due to his proximity to El-Sayed. Since his primary win, the progressive candidate has sought to distance himself from the streamer. "This is the single most unproductive, selfish thing a Democratic candidate has done all cycle and likely many cycles before that," Pod Save America co-host and speechwriter to President Barack Obama said on X. "Having misjudged candidates in the past myself, I hope everyone who tried to recruit, support, and defend Haley can now admit what a mistake it was." HALEY STEVENS URGES EL-SAYED TO DITCH HASAN PIKER AFFILIATION AFTER MICHIGAN PRIMARY Fellow PodSaveAmerica cohost Jon Lovett called Stevens a "sleaze." "Not to downplay Haley Stevens' vermin-like betrayal of her party and her constituents and her nation... But given her track record as a clownish loser, do we really believe any who will now follow her weren't already going to vote for the Fascist?" podcaster and former television sports personality Keith Olbermann said in an X post. Stevens, who was narrowly defeated by El-Sayed in Michigan's Aug. 4, 2026 primary election, crossed partisan lines after saying for months that she would support El-Sayed. It all devolved after Stevens expressed concern last week over an ad aired in El-Sayed's favor that was widely viewed as antisemitic. She said she would appear at a weekend campaign event with El-Sayed on the condition that he denounced the ad. El-Sayed, whose support among the Michigan Jewish community is already tenuous, disinvited her from the event instead. The ad that sparked the controversy was released by the Rebellion PAC, which is operated by The Young Turks co-founder and bombastic leftist commentator Cenk Uygur, who is Piker's uncle. Piker, whom El-Sayed invited onto the campaign trail in Michigan during primary season, has been a headache for El-Sayed during the general election. Piker said in 2019 that "America deserved 9/11." He has also praised Mao Zedong and Communist China, said capitalists should be murdered in the streets and is known for making antisemitic comments. El-Sayed has refused to denounce Piker, brushing him off as a "streamer from California" who he says shouldn't be the focus of the campaign in Michigan.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae8b38f726b22deeb699e43 Christa Pike's execution doctor says misplaced IV sent lethal drugs into her arms instead of veins te 2026-11-02T16:00:15.521Z Christa Pike's execution doctor says misplaced IV sent lethal drugs into her arms instead of veins The doctor who participated in Christa Pike's failed execution in Tennessee says an improperly placed IV sent lethal drugs into the tissue of her arms instead of her bloodstream — and acknowledged the execution team should have stopped when the death row inmate complained of pain. Dr. Mark Fowler, who served as the physician during Pike's Sept. 30 execution attempt, offered a rare firsthand account of what went wrong in an interview with New York Magazine published Friday. Pike, 50, survived after receiving two doses of pentobarbital and was hospitalized for days before eventually regaining consciousness. TENNESSEE DEATH ROW INMATE SURVIVES 2 LETHAL INJECTION DOSES IN FAILED EXECUTION ATTEMPT The doctor told the magazine he knew something was wrong when Pike's execution stretched to about 45 minutes. When he was called into the chamber, she was still alive and gasping for air. Fowler said he initially considered whether Pike's response to the medication could simply be taking longer than expected and decided to give it more time. DEATH ROW INMATE UNCONSCIOUS ON VENTILATOR AFTER BOTCHED EXECUTION FOR TEEN’S KILLING: ATTORNEYS As another half-hour passed, he became concerned that Pike could survive with irreversible brain damage. Fowler later diagnosed her as comatose before a deputy commissioner ordered the execution stopped. He then ordered oxygen, and Pike was taken by ambulance to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. 911 OPERATORS QUESTIONED WHETHER CHRISTA PIKE FAILED EXECUTION CALL WAS PRANK, AUDIO REVEALS Fowler told New York Magazine that the IV used to administer the pentobarbital had not been properly inserted into Pike's veins. "It was delivering medicine to the subcutaneous tissue" of her arms, Fowler said. DEATH ROW KILLER CHRISTA PIKE DESCRIBES WAKING UP AFTER EXECUTION SHE NEVER EXPECTED TO SURVIVE Pike's attorneys previously said in a court filing that she complained of severe arm pain during the execution, telling those in the chamber, "My arm feels like it’s about to burst open." "They should have stopped and reassessed, and they didn’t," Fowler told New York Magazine. CHRISTA PIKE'S ATTORNEY SAYS SHE'S 'UP AND WALKING' MORE THAN A WEEK AFTER BOTCHED EXECUTION The account comes days after Pike described the aftermath of the failed execution in a statement released by her attorneys, saying she remains in constant pain and still struggles to speak. "My body hurts. My arms hurt. My hands hurt. My throat hurts," Pike said Friday. "I still struggle to speak." Pike also said she was "deeply hurt by the incompetence that has put so many people in this terrible position." Fowler's role in Pike's failed execution was not his first to draw scrutiny. CHRISTA PIKE EXECUTION FAILURE SPARES MURDERER WHO BAILED VICTIM OUT JUST TO KILL HIM New York Magazine reported that Fowler was also involved in the 2025 execution of Byron Black and the failed May execution of Tony Carruthers. In the Carruthers case, Fowler attempted to place an IV near Carruthers' clavicle after paramedics were unable to establish traditional IV access. Fowler told the magazine he ultimately stopped because he lacked adequate anesthetic and the procedure was becoming too painful for Carruthers. FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X "I'm not an evil, vicious person. I'm not unscrupulous. I'm not uncaring, and I'm not incompetent," Fowler said. Still, Fowler said Tennessee's lethal-injection protocol needs to change. He called for fewer handoffs among execution team members and said those responsible for placing IV lines should remain in position to monitor them as the lethal drugs are administered. SIGN UP TO GET THE LATEST TRUE CRIME NEWS "The people who place the IV lines should thereafter be observant about what’s happening with them as the medicine goes in," Fowler said.

ANNIE ANDREWS: South Carolina should expect more from their senator Throughout this race, I’ve said it plainly: whether you voted for Donald Trump, Lindsey Graham, or anyone else, if you care more about your bills than Washington’s political games, this campaign is for you. I mean it. Last week in Aiken, I stood in a room full of Republicans and independents. One man told me he’d been a Reagan Republican his whole life and had never voted for a Democrat. He came anyway. He wanted to know if I’d actually listen. I’ve been listening for 18 months on the campaign trail, and for 20 years before that in my exam room. INDEPENDENT VOTERS AREN’T PICKING A POLITICAL TEAM, THEY JUST FEEL PICKED ON I didn’t set out to become a politician. I’m a pediatrician and a mom of three. I’ve cared for children whose parents had to choose between groceries and an inhaler, and I’ve taken the 2 a.m. calls from scared moms and dads. Medicine taught me that you show up, you listen, and you make hard decisions under pressure. I’ve traveled to all 46 counties. In Barnwell, I sat on the back of a pickup truck with eighth-generation farmers hurt by tariffs. In Ridgeland, I stood with veterans who have lost friends to suicide and want this war in Iran to end. In Marlboro County, I met a little boy growing up without a hospital because of where he lives. In Myrtle Beach, a 26-year Marine veteran and lifelong Republican came to one of our events after someone encouraged him to attend. Afterward, he told me he’d just made his first political donation. When I ask when they last saw a senator in their hometown, they laugh. They deserve better. This week, Fox News moved our race to a toss-up. Former Republican Gov. David Beasley endorsed me, and more than 100 South Carolina Republican leaders have joined our campaign. They don’t agree with me on everything, but they know I’ll put South Carolina ahead of any party or special interest. My opponent, Darline Graham, has my deepest sympathy for the loss of her brother. But a Senate seat isn’t an inheritance. She was handpicked by Washington insiders, and she has admitted she’s "not that informed" on national security while our country is at war. South Carolinians deserve a senator who’s ready. Here’s my commitment: I’ll be an independent voice and a brick wall between South Carolina and Washington, even when my own party gets it wrong.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae8aeed726b22deeb699d1c 'Homestead' star Bailey Chase says California vaccine plans were 'final straw' that drove family out of LA te 2026-11-02T15:40:29.164Z 'Homestead' star Bailey Chase says California vaccine plans were 'final straw' that drove family out of LA "Homestead" star Bailey Chase is opening up about the "final straw" that drove him and his family out of California for a new life in North Carolina. During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the 54-year-old actor, who shares daughter Waverly, 12, and 10-year-old twins Maggie and Gauge with his wife Amy, explained that concerns over how California's COVID-19 restrictions would impact his children led him to leave Golden State behind. "That happened five years ago in the throes of COVID," Chase said. "My wife and I picked up sticks with our three young children when they were mandating vaccines out there." "They said they couldn't go back to school without it," Chase, who stars as former Green Beret Jeff Eriksson in "Homestead," continued. "And that was the final straw. And we've been in the mountains of North Carolina ever since living our best life." ZACHARY LEVI SAYS TEXAS GIVES HIM THE ‘FREEDOM’ HE COULDN’T FIND IN CALIFORNIA Five years after trading Los Angeles for North Carolina, Chase told Fox News Digital that his life now largely revolves around his children's activities when he isn't working. 'VIRGIN RIVER' STAR BEN HOLLINGSWORTH SAYS HIS KIDS HAVE FREEDOM IN SMALL TOWN THAT 'DOESN'T FLY' IN LA "I'm like soccer dad right now. It's soccer season, so we're going here and there," he said. "My oldest is really into ballet, and I couldn't be more proud of her and getting ready for ‘The Nutcracker’ in December, and basketball season's around the corner." While Chase remains committed to his acting career, the "Longmire" alum said his priorities shift completely when he returns home. CHRIS PRATT SAYS HIS FAITH WILL BE 'THE MOST IMPORTANT THING' THAT HE PASSES ON TO HIS KIDS "I love my job, and when I'm off filming, I'm 100% focused on that. But when I'm home, I'm home," he said. "There's no greater job than being a dad." Chase and his family currently live in Amy's hometown of Hendersonville in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, about 25 miles south of Asheville. Chase has previously explained that Amy had long envisioned eventually returning to the area where she was born and raised. The actor also has ties to North Carolina after attending Duke University in Durham on a football scholarship. 'RANSOM CANYON' STAR JOSH DUHAMEL SAYS HE'D RATHER PUT MONEY INTO NORTH DAKOTA AFTER SELLING LOS ANGELES HOME "Amy, being from the mountains of North Carolina, always had it in the back of her mind that she’d go back home one day," he said in a January 2026 interview with Duke Alumni Magazine. "We didn’t know how or when." However, Chase recalled they decided the time was right due to California's handling of the pandemic. ‘TWILIGHT’ STAR KELLAN LUTZ TRADED CALIFORNIA FOR TENNESSEE LAND AND BIBLE STUDIES "Things started to not work in LA during Covid – they shut down the schools, there were no sports for the kids," he said. "Really, no life, no work. And it became more and more obvious that we should leave LA." "Amy’s very close with her parents, who are in N.C.," he continued. "Everything’s about seven minutes away: school, the in-laws, the grocery store, golf course, soccer field. It’s a great location. We live in a house that would not have been affordable in LA." JANA KRAMER SAYS LOS ANGELES PRICED HER OUT OF THE CHILDHOOD SHE WANTED FOR HER KIDS "It’s a kid’s dream," he added. "There’s a sports court and a pool. We have two golden retriever puppies, so it’s a full and lively house." During a February appearance on the "Undaunted.Life: A Man's Podcast," Chase elaborated on the concerns that he had over California's proposed vaccine mandate for his young children's return to school. "At that time, you know, they're four, four, and six-years-old," he recalled. "I got two young girls and, you know we don't need to go down that rabbit hole." "I was like, 'No, I just don't know enough,'" he continued. "And I got one job right now, and it's to take care of these little nuggets. That's the most important job I have right now." In October 2021, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced plans for a COVID-19 vaccine requirement for students that he said would eventually apply to all the state's 6.7 million public and private schoolchildren. However, the mandate was repeatedly delayed and ultimately never took effect. In February 2023, state health officials announced that they would not pursue or implement the requirement as the COVID-19 state of emergency expired at the end of that month.  'ANT-MAN' STAR EVANGELINE LILLY SAYS SHE LEFT HOLLYWOOD BECAUSE SHE 'ALWAYS HATED BEING FAMOUS' Chase previously acknowledged that while relocating to North Carolina was the best move for his family, leaving LA came at a professional cost after he spent 21 years building his career in Hollywood. "I've lost out on some work by not being in L.A.," he admitted while appearing on the "Living Local" podcast in August. "There was a big role on 'Grey's Anatomy,'" he continued. "And I understand, it's a lot cheaper for them. They just move on to the next guy and cast someone who's local to L.A." "But what has happened is I've gotten new opportunities and different kind of jobs and some faith-based films and shows," Chase added. The "Saving Grace" actor has also spoken openly about how he "lost touch" with God during his years in LA and shared that moving to North Carolina eventually led him back to his Christian faith. "Moving back here, I've gotten reconnected to my faith," Chase told "Crosswalk" in January. "Just started going to church recently. It took a few years, but I really like the church where we're going to here." "My cousin started taking us," he continued. "The girls are in youth group. They really love it." "It's nice to be in an environment where I can openly talk about God and Jesus and without fear of criticism," he added. WATCH HERE: ‘HOMESTEAD’ STAR BAILEY CHASE SAYS CALIFORNIA VACCINE PLANS WERE ‘FINAL STRAW’ THAT DROVE FAMILY OUT OF LA In a 2024 Instagram post, Chase reflected on how his priorities have shifted since leaving behind "all that worry, all that stress, 20 years of hustle in LA." "It also got me thinking if I spent as much time chasing God as I’ve spent chasing success the last 25 years, what would that look like?" he wrote. Chase is currently starring as former Green Beret Jeff Eriksson in the faith-based streaming platform Angel Studios’ post-apocalyptic drama "Homestead," which will premiere its second season on Nov. 3.  The series follows survivors living at a fortified prepper compound in the Rocky Mountains known as The Homestead after a nuclear attack on LA plunges the country into chaos. After the bomb is detonated, Jeff escapes with his family to The Homestead where he serves as head of security. The actor previously starred in the 2024 theatrical movie "Homestead," which introduces the story and the TV series picks up directly afterward. The cast also includes Neal McDonough, Kevin Lawson Emmanuel McCord, Jesse Hutch, Betzaida Landín, Charles Esten and Dawn Olivieri. GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE Chase told Fox News Digital that starring in the "Homestead" movie and follow-up TV show had inspired the cast to start prepping for a potential apocalypse. "'Homestead' has changed all of our lives and the first thing I did when I came home after the film was arm my home more," he said. "And then right before season two, Hurricane Helene hit here in the mountains of North Carolina. And I now have a brand-new generator and some other things." When asked if most Americans would be able to survive a major disaster, Chase predicted that it would be more challenging for people who live in bigger cities. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE "Those are the kind of people who hunt and fish and can go out and find their own game," Chase added. "So if I'm laying odds, I'm betting on those guys." While reflecting on what drew him to "Homestead," Chase explained that his focus on faith and family has also influenced the projects he chooses, noting that the show offers a different message than much of what is coming out of Hollywood. "I take my job as being a father as the best job and most important job that I'll ever have. And I do take it seriously," Chase told Fox News Digital. "And how that translates to me being an actor, that's why I'm so proud of ‘Homestead’ and the story that we get to tell, because it reflects my own personal values," he continued. "We got men and women and boys and girls, and it's about promoting faith, family, community and being there for your brother." "Not all the shows that Hollywood's putting out does that, so I feel truly blessed to be part of a show that delivers a message that I believe in so deeply to my core." "Homestead: The Series" season two premieres Nov. 3 on Angel with new episodes released weekly on Tuesdays.

(Photo by Jake Goldstein-Street/Washington State Standard) WASHINGTON — When the polls close Tuesday night, the 2026 U.S. election will go down as one of history’s most expensive and extraordinarily ugly midterms — galvanizing record-breaking early voter turnout among a deeply divided electorate. Voters on Saturday crossed the high-water mark of 52.7 million early votes cast, surpassing the midterm record set in 2022, though analysts were reluctant to translate it into a Democratic wave on the way. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice continued to run into a firewall of federal judges, losing its previous cases to take over mail-in balloting and obtain state voter rolls in advance of the midterms. The Trump DOJ actions nonetheless rattled state officials who hold the constitutional responsibility to conduct their elections. “My hope is that this trend will continue and that our worst-case scenarios don’t come to fruition,” former Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson told States Newsroom. A federal appeals court on Friday denied Trump’s efforts to force state officials to quarantine up to 20,000 voter ballots. The department continues to pursue its preemptive lawsuit against Alaska’s U.S. Senate race results, depending on who wins.  When asked by reporters Tuesday if he’ll accept a Democratic victory, Trump said, “I will, if they’re honest elections,” refusing to rule out federal interference feared by Democratic critics. President Donald Trump gestures to the crowd at a rally in Dalton, Georgia, on Oct. 16, 2026. (Photo by Ross Williams/Georgia Recorder) Trump insisted in September that his supporters “pretend” he is on the ballot, as his base has turned out in higher numbers during presidential elections to vote for him. “When I’m on the ballot, we kill everybody,” he said at his midterm convention in Texas.  He also promised a $5,000 “Trump dividend” to voters if Republicans retained congressional majorities. With GOP control of the House and Senate during the last two years of the Trump presidency in play, campaigns are on track to shell out $11.6 billion on ads, according to the firm AdImpact. The hard-fought Ohio and Texas Senate races led the way in spending.  Democrats need to net four seats to control the Senate, while Republicans hold a narrow majority in the House. Campaign advertising hit a low point when Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy aired a $4 million ad in which the estranged mother of his Democratic opponent, Amy Acton, called Acton “a liar.”  The woman, Donna Arthur, has not been in communication with her daughter since the late 1970s, when court records show she lost custody and fled the state with her husband, Acton’s stepfather, after he was indicted for raping Acton. Ramaswamy’s campaign pulled the ad Friday, roughly 10 days after it began to circulate. The ad drew outcry including from outgoing Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, though both Trump and Vice President JD Vance defended it. Voters feel punished by cost of living While ugliness punctuated the campaign season, poll after poll revealed the cost of living remains the top motivator for voters — including fuel prices and the cost of food and everyday goods that have been driven up by Trump’s war with Iran and an erratic tariff policy.  Indiana fuel prices spike again on Oct. 24, 2026. (Photo by Niki Kelly/Indiana Capital Chronicle) “It ranks as one of the most important issues for over 80% of voters, and the majority of the electorate disapproves of Trump’s handling, not just of the economy in general, but of cost of living,” economist and former Biden White House economic adviser Jared Bernstein said Tuesday, during a virtual press briefing organized by the Democrat-aligned advocacy group Defend America Action. The GOP also risks losing Latino support on account of the administration’s dragnet immigration enforcement tactics that have targeted legal immigrants, as well as U.S. citizens, and have ended in injury or even death on multiple occasions. María Isabel Di Franco Quiñonez of Equis, a Latino-focused research firm, surveyed 900 Latino voters across seven battleground states and found sinking support for and trust in Republicans. “The clearest finding was that voters want both responsible enforcement and generosity towards immigrants,” she said. “They want a controlled border, enforcement focused on criminals and a pathway to legalization.” Trump ratings Trump’s sagging approval ratings have dogged Republican midterm candidates, giving a major boost to Democrats’ chances of flipping the House — a tried and true pattern for midterm elections — and increasing the competitiveness of several U.S. Senate races. “Given that the president’s not on the ballot, (voters) have no other place to take out their frustration or disappointment or anger, aside from candidates of the president’s party,” said David Dulio, a distinguished professor of political science at Oakland University in Michigan. The state is the site of one of the nation’s most vitriolic U.S. Senate races, between Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed and former Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers.

(Photo by Ben Solis/Michigan Advance) Democrats are reaching for command of the upper chamber, and if the final prognosticators and polls are correct, they could stand a chance in Republican strongholds.  Major forecasts and pollsters more strongly favor Democrats to take the House, though some experts observe that years of gerrymandering, including Republicans’ mid-decade redistricting, combined with entrenched polarization could stunt the crest of a so-called blue wave.  Several Republican-led state legislatures, including those in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, split majority Black voter districts after a U.S. Supreme Court decision last year struck down protections that were enshrined in the Voting Rights Act. “I hesitate to say that Republicans are going to lose control of both houses, or Trump is going to be totally hamstrung by this blue wave. The polling has been so shaky in prior election cycles,” said Rob Glover, associate professor of political science at the University of Maine, where longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins is fighting to keep her seat against Democratic challenger Troy Jackson.   “But if I was a Republican operative or strategist, I would be concerned,” he said.  Senate races As of Friday, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, a nonpartisan forecaster, rated Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Ohio and Texas as toss-up U.S. Senate races. The University of Virginia’s Sabato’s Crystal Ball categorized Alaska as a possible flip. Inside Elections, another nonpartisan forecaster, projected Thursday that Democrats would gain enough seats to reach at least a 50-50 split Senate, ranking Michigan, New Hampshire, Ohio and Texas as tilting blue.  Pollsters have also found Democratic rumblings in time-tested Republican bastions.  Wednesday’s New York Times/Siena poll found South Carolina voters, surveyed between Oct. 19 and Oct. 26, evenly split between Republican nominee Darline Graham, who is running to fill the seat of her late brother Sen. Lindsey Graham, and her Democratic challenger Annie Andrews, a pediatrician.  Sen. Darline Graham, R-S.C., speaks at a meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, July 23, 2026. (Screenshot from committee webcast) A survey of Kansas voters between Oct. 26 and Oct. 28 by Emerson College Polling found Democratic candidate and pastor Adam Hamilton at 49% over Republican incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall, who polled at 45%. The survey, which asked voters who they would vote for if the election were held today, carried a 3.5 percentage point margin of error. Trump on Thursday canceled his weekend trip to a rally in Kansas because Marshall is “doing very well,” but reversed his plans by Friday morning and announced he’ll appear in person, as scheduled.  He similarly flipped on canceling his trip to Iowa to support Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson, who is running against Democrat Josh Turek for U.S. Senate. While the U.S. House appears to be tipping toward the Democrats, only a small fraction of the races across the U.S. are competitive. The districts include California’s 22nd; Florida’s 14th and 22nd; Iowa’s 2nd; Kentucky’s 6th; Michigan’s 4th, 7th and 10th; Montana’s 1st; New York’s 17th; North Carolina’s 1st; Ohio’s 7th and 9th; Texas’ 15th and 35th; and Virginia’s 1st, according to widely cited prognosticators. Surge in early voting Tens of millions of Americans have already marched — some literally —  to the polls, or submitted their mail-in ballots, in the final stretch leading up to Election Day. Carrie LeVan, a political scientist at Colby College in Maine, said she’s not sure whether the enthusiasm driving early voters will translate into a “wave” election for Democrats, like the 2010 midterm “Tea Party” wave when Republicans regained House control by flipping more than 60 seats. “There’s a lot of hype and expectation that Democrats are going to perform and have this huge wave this election cycle, and I don’t know — if I’m gonna make a prediction, I don’t think it’s gonna be that big,” she said. Early voting at Kearny Town Hall in Kearny, New Jersey, on Oct. 24, 2026. (Photo by Anne-Marie Caruso/New Jersey Monitor) LeVan highlighted this cycle’s rare mid-decade redistricting by Republicans, and then by Democrats, combined with “affective” polarization as obstacles to the size of shifts. The academic term affective polarization, she explained, is not just clinging to your side and your beliefs but rather “how much do I hate the opposition party?”  “There’s all these things that have changed since the 2010 election, so can we ever have a wave that was as big, even if we’re so dissatisfied with the state of things right now?” she said. An NRP/PBS News/Marist poll published Tuesday found other possible warning signs for Democrats hoping for a big surge. The survey found several “key pillar groups” among Democratic voters, including voters under age 45 and voters of color, lagged in enthusiasm to vote in the midterms, while some Republican voter segments gained ground on who is “very closely” monitoring the races. The poll also found some swing voters turned off by the Democrats’ primary victories for some far-left candidates, including those belonging to the Democratic Socialists of America.  Democrats are grappling with how to navigate the intraparty divisions, particularly if they gain control of the House. In the courts Ahead of Election Day, an array of legal challenges are playing out in federal courts across the country. The Justice Department wants to require California election officials to set aside the ballots of 20,000 voters it says are suspected noncitizens. The Trump administration doesn’t want those ballots to count unless voters can prove their citizenship. A similar request was also made to officials in Washington state. Multiple federal judges have already ruled against the DOJ’s California request and the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday dealt the Trump administration its third and fourth courtroom losses in less than a week. It’s possible the Trump administration will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene.  The Supreme Court on Oct. 9, 2024. (Photo by Jane Norman/States Newsroom) The Justice Department has also issued subpoenas to election officials in California, prompting a new lawsuit that seeks to stop the department from threatening state and local officials with prosecution. In recent days, DOJ lawyers have suggested election officials face “criminal liability” if they count the ballots of noncitizen voters. In Washington, D.C., a federal judge is weighing whether to issue an order prohibiting the Trump administration from demanding that states set aside the ballots of voters. The judge has promised a decision by Monday. And in Alaska, the Justice Department is continuing to pursue a preemptive lawsuit that would block the state from certifying the results of its U.S. Senate election if the Republican incumbent loses by less than the votes received by a nonpartisan challenger of the same name that Trump has said is on the ballot to confuse voters.  The New York Times has reported Democrats helped recruit the spoiler candidate.

"It will definitely not dissuade me," Lizzy Benichou told "Fox & Friends" on Monday. Benichou said she was hosting an open debate on the Ann Arbor campus when a woman approached the group, began shouting and allegedly struck another conservative influencer in the face with her phone before turning on her. 30% OF COLLEGE STUDENTS SAY VIOLENCE ACCEPTABLE WAY TO STOP SPEAKERS ON CAMPUSES, SURVEY FINDS "She slapped Joe [Redden] in the face with her phone. Then she came up towards me and I told her, 'You would not be able to do this in Iran,'" Benichou said, recounting the incident. She explained that she was referring to freedom of speech, pointing to the Iranian government's treatment of protesters. The confrontation escalated as Benichou and fellow conservative influencer Cam Higby challenged the woman over women's freedoms in Iran. "I think [Higby] said, 'She wouldn't be allowed to be dressed like this,'" she continued. UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT SOUNDS ALARM AS NEARLY HALF OF STUDENTS JUSTIFY VIOLENCE TO STOP 'HATE SPEECH' "I had also said, 'If you were in Iran dressed like this, what would happen to you?' And there were some Jordanian students next to me, and I asked them, 'Am I right?' And then she just lunged." Benichou described feeling sore after suffering a "hard fall" during the incident Sunday. The confrontation comes as Michigan's closely watched Senate race brings political and cultural divisions into sharper focus ahead of the midterms. Benichou said her visit to the campus was partly motivated by concerns about Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, whose political affiliations and campaign funding she wanted to discuss with students.

The Democrat candidate's campaign said Sunday’s haul came from more than 65,000 donors, who gave an average of $36.74. Nearly 29,600 people contributed to the campaign for the first time. The fundraising surge came on the heels of Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., endorsing Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers on Sunday after months of turmoil following her primary loss to the more progressive candidate. DEMOCRAT HALEY STEVENS ENDORSES GOP SENATE NOMINEE MIKE ROGERS "As Michiganders head to the polls, the momentum behind Abdul’s campaign has never been stronger," campaign spokesperson Cole Wozniak said in a statement following the final-hour cash haul. Stevens, who was considered the more moderate establishment candidate in her primary against El-Sayed earlier this year said she remains "a very proud Democrat" who loves Michigan. She insisted, however, in the video message posted to social media over the weekend that she could not support El-Sayed, citing his backing from radical left-wing political streamer Hasan Piker. "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 and he's right. And that's why I'm endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today," Stevens said in a video posted on X. The endorsement of the Trump-backed Republican candidate drew swift criticism from Democrats. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called it "a despicable betrayal" and said his caucus in the upper chamber remains united behind El-Sayed. Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel also condemned Stevens’ decision, saying she had "abandoned everything she claims to care about." El-Sayed brushed off the endorsement Sunday, telling reporters he does not think about Stevens or Rogers and was focused on voters and policy. He also has attempted in recent months to distance himself from Piker amid the streamer's rising national recognition and increased scrutiny on his controversial statements — including anti-semitic sentiments and claiming that "America deserved 9/11."

Haley Stevens, D-Mich., to a "used condom" on the "Politicon" podcast Sunday, hours after she endorsed Republican Mike Rogers. "I mean, lady, if you're going to sell your soul, you got to get more for it than a f---ing cheeseburger, okay," Carville said. "I'm just telling you that you got to put some kind of a price on yourself for some kind of a g------ self-pride, but your political career is over." Carville said Stevens' endorsement of Rogers would leave her without support from either party, using a vulgar comparison to describe how he believed Republicans and Democrats viewed her. "If you think that these Republicans are going to treat you as anything other than what they view you as, and that is, let me just break the news to you, a used condom. The Democrats don't even think you're worth a used condom. But that's about where you are," he continued. "You made your bed, sleep in it. You s--t in your mess kit, eat it." EL SAYED'S LEFT-WING ALLIES ATTACK 'EVIL' STEVENS AFTER BOMBSHELL ROGERS ENDORSEMENT Stephen Kent, media director at the Consumer Choice Center, told Fox News Digital that Carville's criticism conflicted with his recent willingness to contemplate Republican victories to limit the influence of democratic socialists. "Putting aside the gross language, this is ridiculous coming from a guy who just two weeks ago said he'd prefer Republicans hold on to a handful of House seats so that the Democratic Socialist bloc doesn't have too much control of the chamber," Kent said.  "He said after this election, he didn't want to be in the same party as Hasan Piker. So for him to chide Haley Stevens for making the exact same calculus is not shrewd — it's just hypocrisy," he added.  Kent was referring to Carville's recent comments, where the Democratic strategist said he'd rather Republicans win by five seats in the House of Representatives in the midterm elections than Democrats winning by the same number — out of concerns the Democratic Party would become "hostages" to the Democratic Socialists of America. HASAN PIKER'S INFLUENCE TESTS BREAKING POINT OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY Stevens endorsed Republican Mike Rogers on Sunday after Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed disinvited her from a planned unity event amid a dispute over an advertisement from Rebellion PAC, founded by The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur. The ad linked U.S. military support for Israel to high grocery prices, prompting Stevens to call it antisemitic and demand El-Sayed condemn it.  El-Sayed, who defeated Stevens in their Senate primary, said his campaign did not produce the ad and that he disagreed with its contents. Far-left streamer Hasan Piker attacked Stevens' motives in a post to X, claiming she was "weirdly obsessed with Israel." "haley stevens is not the spokesperson for democrats, she’s not the spox for jewish people or black people," Piker said on X. "she's a self interested striver who’s weirdly obsessed with israel and has been paid handsomely for this strange obsession. this race is about solving the affordability crisis, defending democracy, fighting back against the racialized violence all communities have faced since trump came into power and serving michigan. haley and mike rogers serve trump, and trump serves the epstein class. the choice is clear." "She’s clearly a disturbed, deranged, dishonest woman (less than 48 hours ago she was swearing to the NYT she was backing Abdul)," Zeteo News' editor-in-chief Mehdi Hasan also said on X, going on to attack the Democratic establishment for putting forward a "complete traitor." FORMER RIVAL DODGES FULL-THROATED EL-SAYED ENDORSEMENT AFTER BITTER SENATE PRIMARY Former DNC Vice Chair David Hogg also attacked Stevens and urged Democrats to denounce the congresswoman. "If you supported Haley Stevens now is your time to speak out, denounce her as the Republican she is and apologize for supporting a traitor," Hogg wrote. Fox News Digital reached out to Stevens for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.

Blades Brown was in the field in Mexico and finished a respectable T-19, and during the event, an unsubstantiated yet absolutely hysterical rumor about the teenage phenom made the rounds in the golf world. It involves actual swords, knighting, and meetings around a round table. In New Zealand, our eyes were fortunate enough to get a look at Te Arai Links for the Asia-Pacific Amateur. While the golf course was the main character, looking like a piece of land that could only be found on a planet not named Earth, Fifa Laopakdee went back-to-back, earning a Masters invite for the second consecutive year. Welcome to Par Talk, a weekly read to get you caught up on all the happenings that took place in professional golf that you should know. Be sure to follow Mark on X @itismarkharris or email him at mark.harris@outkick.com. Andrew Novak was in the midst of a lackluster 2026 season before arriving in Mexico. The Wofford College grad missed the cut in three of the four majors, didn't play the weekend at The Players, and managed just two Top 10s in 25 starts if you excluded the team event Zurich Classic. To say something clicked at the Mexico Open would be disrespectful to his performance. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE After an opening round 67 put him five shots back of the lead, he woke up on Friday and decided that over the next 36 holes he was going to turn into the best putter on the property and essentially not miss a thing. Novak led the field in strokes gained: putting in both rounds two and three, picking up over 5.6 shots on the greens alone on Friday, posting scores of 61-62. When you shoot 19-under across 36 holes as Novak did, you're going to separate from the field, which is exactly what happened before ultimately earning a five-shot victory. Steven Fisk and Kristoffer Ventura both shot final rounds of 63 only to lose by five. That has to be quite the feeling. Novak, who won the 2025 Zurich Classic alongside teammate Ben Griffin, moves up to 53rd in the FedEx Cup Fall standings. Finishing inside the Top 50 is huge, with those players earning spots in full-field and signature events in 2027. When your first name is Blades, you're destined to play golf at some level. Blades Brown just so happens to ooze so much talent that he decided to skip out on college, turn professional as a teenager, and earn his PGA Tour card before turning 20. In order to get to the level Brown has climbed to in such fast fashion, one has to have a team around them, and young Mr. Blades allegedly takes the formation of said team very, very seriously. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK GOLF COVERAGE THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! Andy Johnson of The Fried Egg has heard a rumor involving Brown and his team, and it may be the greatest thing my 33-year-old ears have ever heard. During an episode of The Shotgun Start podcast last week, Johnson emphasized that the rumor is unsubstantiated, but that doesn't make it any less incredible. "Everybody has their teams and everything in golf, your trainer, coaches, your agents, your parents, and I'm hearing that Blades has an interesting aspect to his team," Johnson began. "In order to become a part of the team, you have to get knighted, and you're given a sword. So everyone on his team, whether it's his swing coach, his personal trainer, his agent, they have swords, and they commence and discuss Blades Brown business around a round table. "Mike Sposa is his equipment guy for Callaway, and he was given a sword, and you become knighted to become part of Blades' team." Johnson went on to say that it is Brown's parents doing the alleged knighting, which makes it a little less awkward, yet still objectively hilarious. Blades handing out actual blades to his support staff is the type of golf content we live for. The Asia-Pacific Amateur may have moved from Dubai to New Zealand, but the winner remained the same. Thailand's Fifa Laopakdee defended his title at one of the most prestigious amateur events in the world at Te Arai, winning by three shots after a wildly impressive 63 to begin the tournament. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER With the victory, Laopakdee earned a spot in both the 2027 Masters and 2027 Open Championship at St. Andrews; not exactly the worst two events to add to the schedule for a college player at Arizona State. "I feel like I'm more proud of myself this year because I never stopped believing in myself, and even though I had a tough year," Laopakdee said after his victory. "I literally didn't win a single thing since March. I just keep telling myself that I've still got it. "Shout out to my friends, my family, my coaches, my teammates, that still believe in me and push me hard every day. This win means a lot because I'm able to prove to myself that I've still got it." Laopakdee missed the cut at both the Masters and Open a year ago, and it will be interesting to see how another year and another impressive win under his belt suits him on the biggest of stages his second time around.

Monday Morning Pit-Stop is a weekly NASCAR column that runs on OutKick.com and Fox News Digital. If you're looking for a normal NASCAR recap, go check out insufferable ESPN ... assuming they still know NASCAR exists. And then there was one. That's right. One race left in this 2026 NASCAR season. Hard to believe. Feels like we just revved engines in Daytona, and now we're taking the checkered flag about 300 miles south in Homestead. It flew by! Not really. Sometimes, it does. Not this year. This NASCAR season has felt like a grind, hasn't it? Some of it was good. Some of it was bad. Some of it was really, really sad. CHASE ELLIOTT SAYS NASCAR'S GRUELING 10-MONTH SEASON CAN 'EAT YOU UP' WITHOUT AN ESCAPE It's just been a grind. But that's a topic for next week, when we begin our two months of offseason decompression. For now, we leave Martinsville with everyone pissed at the same dude they've been pissed at all season long ... Carson Hocevar! In a shocking turn of events, Carson made more enemies on the track yesterday, and I'm not sure even I can defend him this time. I've generally tried to defend Carson most of the season because A) I think he's good for the sport, and B) he's definitely good for this column, but I think he probably deserves whatever he's got coming to him after yesterday. You'll see. What else? I've got a nice little ratings rebound at 'Dega after the Phoenix disaster (sort of), Kyle Larson could have the championship wrapped up before the sun goes down next Sunday, and Austin Dillon boards Air Force One with Trump and heads to Daytona. There are worse ways to spend a Friday, I reckon. NASCAR'S MOST HATED DRIVER ATTACKED AGAIN, ATTACKER'S WIFE GIVES THE DOUBLE-BIRD & WHY DID THE SPORT DIE? Four tires, a quick splash of that Sunoco racing fuel, and maybe some brake fluid for Carson Hocevar ... Monday Morning Pit-Stop — the 'Brake Check 1, 2, 3' edition' — is LIVE! Let's go ahead and congratulate William Byron right off the bat so we can move on to more exciting things. Byron led a billion laps (362) on his way to absolutely destroying the field yesterday at Martinsville. It was his first win of the season. Chase Elliott finished second. Kyle Larson finished ninth, and now heads to Homestead basically needing to finish the race to win another championship. Probably won't be quite as exciting as the old Championship Four races, but everyone was so appalled at Joey Logano winning that one time that we got that taken away from us and now we get this. Oh well. Anyway, it was a good day for Hendrick Motorsports. Was it the most exciting Martinsville race ever? Lord no. Again, William Byron led 362 (!!!) laps. There wasn't exactly that usual Martinsville drama ... At the front of the pack. At the back of it, though? Where Carson Hocevar found himself locked in a tight battle with Austin Cindric? Yeah, buddy, there was drama: Amazing. Look, I can't even defend it. That was so hilariously obvious from Carson Hocevar, I don't even know what to say. He can sit there and feed us the BS "It's just Martinsville" line, but that doesn't quite work in the days of SMT data and instant replay. Not one, not two, not three, but FOUR brake checks before he finally destroyed the No. 2 car. Just nasty work from Carson. Nasty, nasty work. Austin Cindric, by the way, declined the NBC interview after the race. I'd imagine that means he's keeping his options on the table for next weekend's finale and doesn't want to tip his hand to NASCAR. Just a guess. And by the way, for those calling me a drama queen for not siding with Carson here ... I present to you Kenny Wallace: "Holyeeee s–t!! I’ve never witnessed anything like this," Wallace tweeted Sunday. No? Still not good enough for you? How about Corey LaJoie? "Good God Almighty," he said. Two NASCAR drivers — one former, one current — both appalled at whatever the hell that was from Carson Hocevar. And I like Carson! I've defended him a ton this year. I think NASCAR desperately needs a villain, and I think he fills that role nicely. But Lordy, this was a bad look. Even his own spotter was tired of it yesterday: "Hey just go. Please? Just go." Like I said at the jump — it's been a long season. You can hear it in Tyler Green's voice. Don't blame him. As for the fans ... they weren't pleased, either. Let's take a look: So, there are a ton of fans calling for NASCAR to "park" Carson Hocevar. Feel like that's a bit silly. There's one race left. Feel like this is a spot where NASCAR can let the drivers work it out on the track, no? Who's gonna get in line first next week at Homestead to wreck Carson Hocevar? Austin Cindric? Ryan Blaney? Brad Keselowski? Zane Smith? He's made so many enemies this year, I've lost count. Head on a swivel when you get down here, Carson! OK, let's put the pedal to the floor and get to a couple quickies on the way out. First up? Last week, we talked about NASCAR's horrific ratings for the Phoenix race a few weeks back (1.2 million). It was awful. I said the folks in marketing should be alarmed by what they saw. Lord knows I was. For what it's worth, I do have it on good authority that those folks in NASCAR HQ are NOT worried about the number. They believe it's been a decent season, and feel the numbers have been a little off due to Nielsen reporting things a little differently. That's true, by the way. Nielsen has changed its methodology in reporting. We don't have time to get into it today, but there is some truth to that. Anyway — as expected — a shift back to NBC and to Talladega got things somewhat back on track last week: Not bad! 2.5 million. Up 1% from last year. Down from the 3.1 in 2024. On par with everything else the past five years. Look, it's fine. I'm sure NASCAR was thrilled to get that number back in the 2s. It was the highest-rated race since the season finale at Daytona in August. Again, though, it was also back on NBC for the first time in months. Network TV was expected to give the Cup Series a much-needed boost, and it delivered. We'll see what Martinsville looks like. Next? Before we head on out, let's all hop aboard Air Force One with Austin Dillon and get this election week started right! "Air Force One with Pop Pop. God Bless the USA," Dillon wrote on Instagram. Pop Pop, for those who couldn't piece it together, is Richard Childress. Those two accompanied Trump to his Daytona rally last Friday. I'm sure liberals handled it well! In other news ... this election season ends in, like, 36 hours. Amen. I can't wait. OK, that's it for today. Good start to November. One race left, folks. Let's dial it in for one more race. On the way out, here's NASCAR driver Natalie Decker attending a horse race over the weekend. Giddy-up.

Campbell went down on the turf at Ford Field and was not moving after hitting Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson. He was placed on a backboard and carted off the field in the fourth quarter in the team’s 19-15 win. His teammates were in tears as he was being helped off the ground.

As he addressed the team in the locker room, he said he didn’t have any more information about the defender’s status but led a prayer for the player. "So, here’s what I wanna do, man. We’re gonna take a knee," the coach said. "Now, I wanna pray for Jack and let’s keep him in our thoughts and prayers, man." Dan Campbell offered his prayers to the player and his family when he spoke to reporters as well. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! "Our thoughts and prayers are with Jack and his family," the Lions coach said. "He's being taken care of. We don't have any new information. We'll keep you updated as this goes, but we're thinking about him." Detroit said Jack Campbell was "resting and will remain in a local hospital tonight, for continued evaluation and monitoring." The team said it would release more updates as they have them. The defender was named a Pro Bowler and an All-Pro selection for the first time after the 2025 season. He had 176 tackles and five sacks last season for the Lions. He had played in every game since he entered the NFL in 2023 as a first-round pick out of Iowa. This season, Campbell had played in all seven games, recovered one fumble and recorded 57 tackles. He signed a four-year contract extension with the team last May.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae899c0726b22deeb69996a LEE CARTER: The 5 words that explain this election better than any commercial te 2026-11-02T14:10:08.393Z LEE CARTER: The 5 words that explain this election better than any commercial Eleven billion dollars. Actually, more than that. Political advertising spending and reservations have now exceeded $11.6 billion, making this the most expensive election cycle for political advertising in American history. For that kind of money, you'd think somebody might have figured out how to make groceries cheaper. MIDTERMS UNLEASH WHAT MAY BE THE NASTIEST BARRAGE OF ATTACK ADS YET Instead, Americans have endured months of attack ads, apocalyptic warnings and politicians insisting that civilization itself is on the ballot. Again. As a researcher, I've spent much of this year studying what Americans believe, what frustrates them and, perhaps most importantly, what might motivate them to vote. And I've become convinced that five words explain this election better than a thousand campaign commercials. Affordability. Socialism. Corruption. Trump. Turnout. Each tells us something about the American electorate. Together, they reveal something neither party should find particularly comforting. Americans may be less interested in voting for somebody than in voting against something. INDEPENDENT VOTERS AREN’T PICKING A POLITICAL TEAM, THEY JUST FEEL PICKED ON And the two parties are betting on very different fears. AFFORDABILITY Washington has a remarkable talent for telling Americans how well they're doing while Americans are busy wondering how they're going to pay for everything. Inflation is cooling! The stock market is booming! Economic growth is strong! Wonderful. Now explain why a family of four needs a financing plan to buy groceries and a second job to take everyone to Disney World. Here's what politicians keep missing: Americans don't experience the economy as a collection of statistics. They experience it as a series of small humiliations. FOX NEWS POLL: SQUEEZED BY COSTS, FRUSTRATED VOTERS TURN TO THE DEMOCRATS Putting something back on the grocery shelf. Declining a dinner invitation. Explaining to your child why the family vacation will have to wait another year. The economy isn't what Washington says is happening. It's what Americans can afford to do. Republicans have spent much of this campaign telling voters that things are getting better. Democrats have spent it reminding them how expensive everything remains. The Democrats have the easier argument. But there's a catch. Convincing voters that Republicans haven't made their lives better is not the same as convincing them that Democrats will. One requires an attack ad. The other requires an actual plan. SOCIALISM For years, Republicans have warned that Democrats are taking America toward socialism. The accusation has been deployed so enthusiastically that you'd think Karl Marx was running for Congress in every competitive district. Democrats often dismiss it as tired political fearmongering. They may be making a serious mistake. In polling I've been examining, the share of Republicans energized to vote against socialism has climbed from 50% to 59% in just a month. Think about what that means. Republicans can be disappointed in their candidates, frustrated with the economy and unhappy with their party's performance while remaining extraordinarily motivated to vote. Why? Because they may believe the alternative is worse. Disappointment makes people complain. Fear makes them act. Democrats see socialism as an outdated Republican talking point. Many Republicans see it as a threat to the country they love. That doesn't mean Republicans are necessarily happy with their own party. It means they may be willing to vote for a party they don't particularly like to stop one they fear even more. And that's a potentially powerful turnout strategy hiding in plain sight. CORRUPTION Remember when draining the swamp was a campaign promise? Apparently, the swamp has become a bipartisan swimming pool. According to research from the Brennan Center and Wesleyan Media Project, nearly one-third of congressional television ads this cycle have referenced government ethics or campaign finance. Americans increasingly suspect that the people running the country are playing by an entirely different set of rules. Democrats have eagerly made corruption a central attack against Republicans. But, they should be careful about throwing stones from inside their own rather expensive glass houses. Consider Alaska, where reports that Democratic-aligned operatives helped recruit a second candidate named Dan Sullivan have sparked allegations of election manipulation. Democrat Mary Peltola has denied knowing about the effort. Whatever the ultimate findings, the controversy is a reminder that political hardball doesn't have a party registration. But there's something deeper happening here. When Americans are working harder and getting less while politicians and well-connected insiders somehow keep getting richer, every economic frustration begins to look like evidence of a rigged system. The grocery bill isn't simply too high. Someone must be benefiting. Healthcare isn't simply too expensive. Someone must be gaming the system. You can convince voters that your opponent is corrupt without convincing them that you're honest. And when voters believe everybody is playing dirty, the winner may inherit the office without inheriting much public confidence. TRUMP Donald Trump isn't running for Congress. You'd never know it. He's crisscrossing the country, dominating headlines and rallying supporters as though his own name were printed at the top of every ballot. And he may understand something that the conventional election narrative is missing. Trump's national approval ratings are weak. His base, however, remains intensely loyal. Those aren't contradictory facts. They're the defining feature of his political appeal. Democrats have spent more than $163 million on advertising mentioning Trump since September 1, compared with roughly $11 million by Republicans. Apparently, the Democratic Party's most valuable campaign surrogate is the Republican president. But Trump has an advantage of his own. Many of his supporters aren't Republicans who happen to like Trump. They're Trump supporters who happen to vote Republican. And those voters don't always show up when he isn't running. Which may explain why he's campaigning as though he is. His supporters may not feel particularly inspired to save the Republican Party. But they might be motivated to save Donald Trump from a Democratic Congress. Democrats want this election to be a referendum on Trump. Trump wants it to be a referendum on whether his supporters will defend him. Both sides are making the same man the center of the election. They're just hoping voters respond in opposite ways. TURNOUT And that brings us to the word that could determine everything. Turnout. The polls tell a remarkably consistent story. Democrats have an advantage. Economic frustration is widespread. The president is unpopular. But elections aren't simply a measure of public opinion. They're a measure of who participates. As a researcher, I believe deeply in what polling can tell us. We can measure attitudes, identify motivations and model which voters are likely to show up. But there's a reason we call them likely voters. The most consequential difference in an election isn't always between Republicans and Democrats. It's between people who are angry enough to vote and people who are exhausted enough to stay home. Democrats are angry about what Republicans have done. Republicans may be frightened by what they believe Democrats will do. Independents may be frustrated with both. And that creates a fascinating question. Which emotion will actually get people out of the house? Gallup recently found that 56% of Americans have given considerable thought to this election, a record for this point in a midterm cycle. But, paying attention and participating aren't the same thing. A wave of Democratic enthusiasm in safely blue districts won't change control of Congress. A smaller Republican surge in a handful of competitive races could. And a relatively modest number of independents deciding to stay home, or to show up, could rewrite the headlines. The polls can tell us where voters stand. Tuesday will tell us which voters stand up. And that distinction could determine the election. Here's what I suspect both parties will get wrong once the votes are counted. If Democrats win big, they'll declare that America has rejected Trumpism and embraced their vision. If Republicans outperform expectations, they'll insist voters have reaffirmed the president's agenda. Both may be mistaking a victory for an endorsement. Voters can fire one party without falling in love with the other. And they can stick with a party they don't particularly like because they're more afraid of the alternative. That's the paradox of American politics in 2026. We have two parties desperately trying to win an election in a country increasingly skeptical that either deserves to. After more than $11 billion in political advertising, thousands of polls and enough promises to wallpaper the Capitol, Americans may be sending a remarkably simple message. They don't want politicians to win another argument. They want someone to make their lives better. Tuesday will tell us who wins power. What happens afterward will tell us whether they deserved it.

Maybe you've been using ChatGPT to work through a personal issue or plan a surprise for someone. Your conversation history can reveal quite a bit. Now, OpenAI is giving you a way to keep certain conversations out of sight. The company just introduced Locked Chats, a new feature that lets you protect individual ChatGPT conversations with a four-digit PIN. On supported devices, you can also use Face ID, Touch ID or your phone's unlock method. That sounds reassuring, especially as more people turn to artificial intelligence for personal advice. However, there are a few privacy limitations worth understanding before you start locking everything down. Here's how the feature works and how to set it up. Missed CyberGuy LIVE?

FAKE CHATGPT BILLING EMAILS CAN STEAL YOUR LOGIN OpenAI's new Locked Chats feature allows you to protect selected conversations without deleting them. Once you lock a chat, it moves into a separate area under Projects > Locked chats. The conversation disappears from your regular chat history, pinned chats and standard search results. Its title and contents stay behind your PIN until you choose to open them. You can even continue the conversation later without moving it back into your regular history. Think about how useful that could be if you share a computer with your spouse or occasionally let someone use your phone. Perhaps you're researching an anniversary surprise and don't want the details popping up in your sidebar. Now, you have a way to keep that conversation separate. There's one important detail if you already use ChatGPT Projects. Locking a conversation removes it from its original project. As a result, the conversation loses access to that project's instructions, files and memory. Even if you unlock it later, the conversation returns to your regular history rather than its previous project. The feature is rolling out gradually to ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu users. It works on the web, in the iPhone and Android apps and in the new ChatGPT desktop apps for Mac and Windows. OpenAI says ChatGPT for Healthcare does not support Locked Chats. You can lock an existing conversation in a few steps. The process is similar whether you're using ChatGPT on your computer, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel. Note: If you don't see Lock chat , the feature may not have reached your account yet. OpenAI is releasing it gradually. Some conversation types also cannot be locked. Your conversation will move into Locked chats. The PIN belongs to your OpenAI account, so you can use the same PIN across supported devices where you're signed in. Note: If you don't see Lock chat , the feature may not have reached your account yet. OpenAI is releasing it gradually. Some conversation types also cannot be locked. META AI LAUNCHES PRIVATE INCOGNITO CHAT Typing a PIN every time you want to open a personal conversation can get tiresome. Fortunately, OpenAI supports biometric authentication on compatible iPhones and device authentication on supported Android phones. You can now use supported biometric authentication to access locked conversations on that iPhone. Your four-digit account PIN remains available as a backup. Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel users follow the same steps inside the ChatGPT app. The available authentication method depends on your phone and its settings. Once enabled, you can use your supported device unlock method to access protected conversations. Depending on your phone, that may include fingerprint recognition or another available authentication method. This setting applies only to the device where you enable it. Turning on device authentication on your Galaxy or Pixel does not automatically enable it on another phone. Once you've protected a chat, you'll probably want to return to it. Fortunately, OpenAI keeps your locked conversations in one dedicated location. You can continue chatting as you normally would. Opening the conversation temporarily gives you access without permanently removing its protection. You can also start a brand-new conversation directly inside Locked chats. After opening that area with your PIN, simply enter a new message. It will remain in the protected section. However, there's a limitation worth knowing. OpenAI doesn't allow you to archive, pin, move or share a conversation while it's locked. You'll need to permanently unlock it before using those options. Anyone who can open a locked conversation can also copy its contents. Yes, although the timing depends on your device. On iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel, OpenAI says access ends automatically after you've been away from a locked chat or the Locked chats area for one minute. The same one-minute rule applies when the app runs in the background. On the web, refreshing the page or closing the tab ends access. The desktop and web versions also relock after you've been away from the authorized window. If you want to secure everything immediately, select Lock now. There's another detail worth knowing. A conversation may remain visible in the browser tab immediately after you lock it. Similarly, another device that's already running ChatGPT might temporarily display an older conversation title until it refreshes. So, check your screen before handing over your device. You may eventually decide that a conversation no longer needs extra protection. You can return it to your normal history without deleting its contents. The conversation returns to your regular history and can eventually appear in ordinary search results again. Here's where I want you to pay close attention. Locking a conversation can stop someone casually browsing your chat history. However, OpenAI makes clear that Locked Chats do not provide end-to-end encryption or create a separate encrypted vault. The company also says locking a chat does not change how long it retains your information. Your existing Improve the model for everyone setting remains unchanged, too. Memory introduces another consideration. If ChatGPT remembered something before you locked a conversation, that information can still exist in regular Memory. Once the chat is locked, new information remembered from subsequent messages stays within the Locked Chats memory area. Other locked conversations can use that information, but regular chats do not receive those new memories automatically. Locked chats can also draw on existing regular Memory when it's enabled. There's also a potential surprise involving shared links. If you previously shared a conversation through a link, locking it does not revoke that link. Anyone with the existing link may still access the content that was previously shared. You must delete the shared link separately to stop that access. Files come with their own limitations. Documents and other files uploaded or created inside a locked conversation receive the same protection as the chat itself. However, files already stored elsewhere in ChatGPT's Space or brought in from connected services keep their existing access permissions. Locking a conversation won't automatically protect those separate files. For workplace accounts, existing organizational retention and compliance policies still apply. OpenAI says Enterprise and Edu conversation logs can include locked chats through its compliance tools. Workspace administrators cannot unlock your chats or reset your PIN, but authorized compliance systems may still access applicable conversation data. These are important limitations if you're discussing financial information or other highly personal subjects. I would still avoid uploading passwords, Social Security numbers or complete banking credentials to a general ChatGPT conversation. If you're concerned about how OpenAI handles your conversations, there's another privacy setting you should review. Turning off Improve the model for everyone prevents your new conversations from being used to train OpenAI's models. These instructions apply to personal ChatGPT accounts. OpenAI says content from ChatGPT Business, Enterprise and Edu workspaces is not used to train its models by default. Here's how to do it. On the ChatGPT website On iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel Your new conversations will no longer be used for model training after you turn off this setting. They can still remain in your chat history, so you'll need Locked Chats or another option to keep them out of view. For additional privacy controls across other AI services, see my guide on how to opt out of AI data collection in popular apps. OpenAI already offers a feature called Temporary Chat, which serves a different purpose. Temporary Chats don't appear in your regular history or create new memories. OpenAI also excludes them from model training while they remain temporary. However, the company may retain temporary conversations for up to 30 days for safety purposes. Depending on your settings, a Temporary Chat can also use existing personalization information. Locked Chats make more sense when you want to save a conversation and return to it later without leaving it exposed in your normal history. You can keep adding messages, and the conversation stays behind your PIN. So, if you're having a one-time discussion you don't need to save, Temporary Chat may be the better choice. If you're working through something personal over several days, Locked Chats gives you a way to maintain that conversation with additional access protection. This is one detail I really don't want you to overlook. Resetting a forgotten PIN permanently deletes all your locked chats, along with memories stored only within those chats and files or other content protected only by the previous PIN. OpenAI says the deletion cannot be undone. Even its support team cannot recover that protected content. If you remember your current PIN and simply want to change it, you can do so without losing your conversations. If you've forgotten your PIN, you can also reset it from Settings > Security and login > Account PIN. However, you'll need to verify your identity and confirm the permanent deletion of your protected chats and associated content before creating a replacement PIN. One more thing: OpenAI doesn't allow every conversation to be locked. The exclusions include Temporary Chats, archived chats, group chats and conversations created from shared links. Chats involving scheduled tasks, meeting recordings or background tasks are also excluded. The same applies to conversations with responses saved as project sources. Some Health, Codex and Work conversations have additional restrictions. If the Lock chat option doesn't appear, your conversation may not qualify. I like that OpenAI is finally giving people more control over which conversations appear when someone opens ChatGPT. As AI becomes a place where people work through personal decisions, there's a real need for some discretion. Being able to hand someone your phone without exposing an entire conversation history is a useful improvement. Still, I would treat Locked Chats as a convenience and access-control feature rather than a guarantee of confidentiality. The four-digit PIN helps keep curious eyes away, but your broader privacy depends on the information you share and the settings you've chosen. And that leaves me wondering whether OpenAI should eventually offer something stronger for conversations people consider deeply private. Would you trust ChatGPT with your most personal conversations if they were protected by a PIN, or should OpenAI offer stronger privacy protections before you feel comfortable sharing?

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae88e06726b22deeb699555 Steve Hilton rallies at 'symbol of 16 years of Democrat failure' in closing days of California race te 2026-11-02T13:20:06.379Z Steve Hilton rallies at 'symbol of 16 years of Democrat failure' in closing days of California race Republican California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton rallied Sunday in Pacific Palisades, a Los Angeles neighborhood devastated by the January 2025 wildfires, blaming Democratic leadership for the destruction and slow recovery just days before voters will choose the state's next governor. "I’m so sorry. And it’s so sad about what happened because it could and should have been avoided," Hilton told supporters and residents. "This place is a symbol of 16 years of Democrat failure." The Palisades Fire burned more than 23,000 acres and destroyed roughly 6,800 structures, many of them homes. Fueled by powerful winds and dry conditions, the blaze displaced tens of thousands of residents and devastated large sections of the community, leaving a massive rebuilding effort in its wake. JURY DEADLOCKS IN FEDERAL TRIAL OF MAN ACCUSED OF STARTING DEADLY PALISADES FIRE IN LOS ANGELES Hilton argued that the disaster and its aftermath reflected broader failures of California's Democratic leadership, from wildfire prevention and emergency response to rebuilding efforts. "These are not random, disconnected events," Hilton said. "These are what has gone wrong in the state of California over 16 years of one-party rule." Democrats have held California's governorship for the past 16 years. Hilton faces Democrat Xavier Becerra, a former state attorney general and Health and Human Services secretary under President Joe Biden, in Tuesday's election to succeed term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom. Hilton, a former Fox News commentator who previously advised British Prime Minister David Cameron, has made criticism of the state's Democratic leadership a central theme of his campaign. STEVE HILTON LAUNCHES AD MOCKING XAVIER BECERRA'S '36 YEARS' AS A CAREER POLITICIAN IN CALIFORNIA GOV RACE At the rally, he accused state and local officials of failing to adequately prepare for the fires and help residents rebuild, blaming what he called a combination of "incompetence, ideology and corruption." He also criticized environmental and land-management policies, arguing that inadequate brush clearance contributed to the destruction. "The ideology that for years and years and years not just failed to clear the brush that could have prevented these fires here and in Altadena ... but deliberately chose not to do that," Hilton said. Hilton pledged to appoint a recovery CEO to oversee rebuilding efforts if elected, arguing that residents had waited too long for their communities to recover. "I spent the time, I’ve listened, and I can tell you right now, when I’m governor, I will appoint a recovery CEO to finally get things done, to finally get what you deserve," Hilton said. He closed by urging voters to reject the idea that California must remain under Democratic control. "This is not a blue state. It is not a red state. It’s the Golden State," Hilton said. "And we are going to fight with everything we’ve got."

During last month's episode, Inaba criticized Johnson's lifts, to which the dancer received a reading after she pushed back.

I think in the future, a new lift rule should be created for next season." Inaba received criticism in the past for docking points over lifts, with fans claiming she picks and chooses when to apply her rule. "I think in the future, a new lift rule should be created for next season," she commented. "I think a session of with all the dancers and the judges in a room together to discuss the history of how and why Len Goodman, our original producers and I defined the lift rule and the what the purpose is which is safety and fairness.

Inaba added, "So, working together to create a better understanding between the dancers and the judges and our audience is important to me, as we move forward and is something I have asked for."

In this decade alone, the Niners have already played in two Super Bowls, and with their 6-1 record, they are in the conversation to be in yet another one. Christian McCaffrey does not like "comparing teams," but the organization has had a similar nucleus in the front office, on the sidelines, and on the field. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE "I love the maturity of this team. Everyone talks about our age and how we’re old, but I think that’s such a massive advantage," McCaffrey told OutKick in a recent interview. "You’ve had guys who have been at the top of the top in this league and experienced the hardships, so you’ve seen everything. Emotionally, you’re not too amped when you win a game, and you’re not too down when something bad happens. There’s a level of professionalism in the locker room where we all know what we have to do." Of course, that maturity helps in dealing with pressure and negativity as well. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! "We just don’t care what people say. We’re here to win no matter what the situation is. From a noise perspective, we just don’t listen to it," he added. "This offseason, we were old and decrepit, and nobody thought we could win. Now, everybody’s crowning us. If you buy stock in listening to the media, you have to ride the highs and lows with them. We choose not to invest and just keep focusing on playing good football." McCaffrey is still at the top of his game at age 30 and in his 10th NFL season, and it would not be possible without a health and wellness routine. But for the most part, he keeps it simple. "Less is more. Getting outside, moving and having a healthy lifestyle. There’s not a one-trick-pony hack. There is no hack. There’s not a specific thing that’s going to get you to where you want to be. It’s consistency over time. That’s with training, recovery, nutrition, sleep, your environment, the people you’re around and how many stressors you allow in your life," McCaffrey said. But of course, there’s always some additional help behind the scenes, and that’s where Dymatize Nutrition, of which McCaffrey is a brand partner, and its ISO100 protein come in. JONATHAN TAYLOR'S COLTS CAREER POTENTIALLY ENDS IN EMBARRASSMENT AS JAGUARS BLOW OUT AFC SOUTH RIVALS "Nutrition plays such a key role in your recovery, how you feel and your training. Everything I put in my body, I’m conscious of. I want to put stuff in my body that’s going to help me recover better, not get as sore and allow me to have better days after hard workouts," McCaffrey said. "I tested the product and absolutely loved it. Getting on a routine with the ISO100 and the different protein options they have has helped me in my training, recover quicker and continue to make strides even later in my career." In order to bring back a long-awaited Lombardi Trophy back to the Bay Area, though, McCaffrey wants to "keep the main thing the main thing." And as cliché as it is, it truly is simply staying in routine day by day. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER "Everybody wants to win the Super Bowl, but you don’t stay focused by sitting around thinking about winning the Super Bowl," he said. "You do that by waking up every day, having structure, having a routine and getting whatever needs to be done.

Nick Berry, a 58-year-old father of two from Northampton, England, was recently metal detecting on farmland in Ashmansworth, a village in Hampshire, England, when he made the discovery, according to Bournemouth News and Picture Service (BNPS). The farmland is close to Highclere Castle, the 19th-century mansion best known as the filming location for the TV series "Downton Abbey." MAN SEARCHING WITH METAL DETECTOR UNEARTHS MASSIVE VIKING AGE FORTUNE, SHATTERING RECORDS Berry said the artifact was in nearly pristine condition after he brushed away the mud. "There were three of us searching, and I was in the middle," Berry told the news agency. "I got a really good signal. I dug down and looked into the hole and saw straight away the glint of gold." The hobbyist said he had a "really strange feeling and felt quite emotional" as he pulled it out of the ground. "I just stared at it. I knew straight away it was something very different and could tell it was Anglo-Saxon," he said. RARE COIN BEARING FACE OF KING WITH INFAMOUS NICKNAME UNEARTHED AFTER 1,000 YEARS "I have been metal detecting for over 30 years and have never seen anything like it. And everyone I have spoken to about it has said the same." The artifact is believed to date to the ninth or tenth century. It may have been worn as a necklace pendant by a wealthy or high-status individual, according to BNPS. Photos reveal the gleaming, hand-shaped artifact with several small indentations on its surface. "The hand has always had a strong symbolic meaning, like when you shake hands to show the other person you haven't got a weapon in your hand," Berry said. PUZZLING SOUND IN BACKYARD LEADS HOMEOWNER TO MASSIVE 1,000-YEAR-OLD TREASURE "It must have belonged to a high-status individual, like some sort of noble person, and [it] was definitely worn around the neck like a talisman." No other artifacts were found nearby, suggesting the pendant may have been accidentally dropped by its owner more than 1,000 years ago, BNPS reported. Berry reported the discovery to a local finds liaison officer, and the artifact was subsequently sent to the British Museum for examination. The pendant has been declared treasure, BNPS said. Under the treasure process, Berry and the landowner could receive a payment based on the pendant's market value if it is acquired by a museum or another public institution. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER the artifact could be worth a five- or six-figure sum in British pounds, the news agency reported. "I have no idea what it is worth. It weighs 1.6g and is very high carat, you can tell by the color," Berry said. Julian Evan-Hart, editor of Treasure Hunting magazine, told BNPS the pendant likely symbolized the "Hand of God," a Christian symbol found on late Saxon and Viking-era silver coins and in religious artwork. "The hand has often been symbolically related to Christianity and features as the 'Hand of God' on several late Saxon/Viking period silver coins and later ecclesiastical artwork," he said. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS "In this case, it would seem likely that this too represents a 'Hand of God' manufactured in the form of a gold pendant." Berry called the pendant "the find of a lifetime." TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "I will never find anything like it again," he said. The remarkable find is the latest in a series of archaeological discoveries made by metal detectorists across Britain. Earlier this year, a pair of friends discovered three Bronze Age gold bracelets dating back more than 3,000 years while metal detecting near Carlisle, England. Last year, a metal detectorist helped archaeologists uncover an extensive 2,000-year-old Roman settlement in England's Cotswolds region after discovering two ancient cavalry swords.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae88953726b22deeb69947c Poll flashes warning signs for Republicans in 7 battleground Senate races te 2026-11-02T13:00:03.707Z Poll flashes warning signs for Republicans in 7 battleground Senate races Republicans are trailing Democrats in seven key Senate battlegrounds, including longtime GOP strongholds Texas and Kansas, according to a poll released Sunday, just days before the midterm elections. The New York Times/Siena poll found Democratic candidates leading in five states currently represented by Republican senators — Alaska, Kansas, Maine, Ohio and Texas — while the race in Iowa is virtually tied. In Michigan, the only Democratic-held Senate seat surveyed, the party's candidate holds a double-digit lead. Don Levy, executive director of the Siena Research Institute, said the results suggest Democrats could capture control of the Senate, though he cautioned that several races remain within the poll's margin of error. SENATE CONTROL IS A COIN FLIP — AND DEMOCRATS’ PATH RUNS THROUGH TRUMP COUNTRY "While a blue wave and Democratic control of the Senate is, according to our polls, a distinct possibility, with so many races within the poll's total margin of error, a Senate majority for either party remains possible," Levy said. The findings are particularly striking in Texas, which has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1988, and Kansas, where Democrats have not won a Senate race since 1932. In Texas, Democratic state lawmaker James Talarico leads Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton 50% to 43% among likely voters. In Kansas, Democrat Adam Hamilton leads Republican Sen. Roger Marshall 49% to 44%. The poll also found former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown leading Republican Sen. Jon Husted in Ohio, 49% to 44%, while Democrat Troy Jackson leads Republican Sen. Susan Collins in Maine, 51% to 45%. In Alaska, former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola leads Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan 48% to 46%. Iowa is even closer, with Democrat Josh Turek edging Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson 48% to 47%. In Michigan, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed holds the largest lead of the seven Senate races surveyed, leading Republican Mike Rogers 53% to 42%. The poll also found signs of broader dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump and Republicans' handling of the economy. Just 38% of likely voters across the seven states approve of Trump's job performance, according to the Times, despite Trump carrying five of those states by double-digit margins in the 2024 presidential election. Democrats hold a nine-point advantage over Republicans on which party voters trust more to address the cost of living, with Democratic Senate candidates leading on the issue in all seven states. The poll also found Democratic candidates leading among independent voters in every state surveyed. VETERAN DEM OPERATIVE SAYS SUBPAR GOP CANDIDATES POISED TO HAND OVER SENATE MAJORITY Democratic candidates improved their standing in six of the seven states compared with Times/Siena polls conducted in September. Alaska was the lone exception. Still, the poll offered some encouraging signs for Republicans. Voters who made their decisions within the past month favored Republican candidates by nine points, and several races remain within the margin of error. The Times also noted that polling underestimated Collins in 2020, when she trailed in every survey before winning re-election comfortably. Democrats must defend their existing Senate seats and flip at least four Republican-held seats to capture control of the chamber. The surveys of likely voters were conducted from Oct. 23 through Nov. 1, with state-level margins of sampling error ranging from plus or minus 3.4 percentage points in Texas to 5 percentage points in Alaska.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes thought he had a touchdown that would have put the team up at least two points with a second to play. However, a false start penalty on right tackle Jaylon Moore moved Kansas City backward. Mahomes would get sacked on the next play and Denver would take home the victory and move into first place in the AFC West. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE.

He let loose when talking to reporters after the game. "We got a lot of fight. You gotta take the positives out of this. You can’t dwell on it," he said, via The Athletic. "It’s a pretty good football team. Obviously, in our hearts, we feel like we should have came out with a victory, but at the same time, that’s not the reality of things. The reality of things is we got to fix a lot. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE "And the little things, mistakes, and it starts with the person that you’re looking at in the mirror.

Really since the bye and it’s frustrating. You just can’t f---ing do it. I gotta be better for my teammates and that sets the tone for a lot of people in this room. Everybody’s just gotta up the ante from that." Kelce had five catches for 67 yards in the 28-24 loss. Kansas City was penalized 11 times for 105 yards, but the team didn’t commit any turnovers during the game. Kansas City will leave Week 8 behind the Broncos in the win column but a win over the Las Vegas Raiders earlier in the year has proven to be crucial thus far. The Chiefs will head back home after being on the road for the last two weeks. They will welcome the New York Jets into town in Week 9.

Haley Stevens, D-Mich., to endorse Republican Senate-nominee Mike Rogers was apparently a sudden change of heart, and tied to the Abdul El-Sayed campaign stay-away order this weekend. Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., said Stevens told her Saturday night that reports of an impending Rogers endorsement were not accurate. "It's very hard," Dingell told local FOX 2 on Sunday night. "Haley Stevens told me at midnight last night this was all a rumor and was not true." DEMOCRAT HALEY STEVENS ENDORSES GOP SENATE NOMINEE MIKE ROGERS AT DETROIT CHURCH Five hours later, Stevens was standing shoulder to shoulder with Rogers at a Detroit church service. "She texted me at 7:45, watching you on MS NOW, heart, heart," Dingell continued. "And by the way, I talked to her. Look, I'm just upset. I'm very concerned. It's sad, but I don't want to be distracted anymore." The Detroit church event was intended to bring unity for El-Sayed's campaign, because Stevens had won the Black vote, but instead, after being told by the Democratic nominee to stay away she unified with Rogers. FORMER RIVAL DODGES FULL-THROATED EL-SAYED ENDORSEMENT AFTER BITTER SENATE PRIMARY "We got a phone call this morning and, you know, there's been a lot of unfortunate activity, I think," Rogers told FOX 2 Detroit. "Abdul discarded Haley Stevens, was rude to Haley Stevens, has been rude, I think, to many in the African-American community. At least that's what they're telling me. And I think this just boiled over when he dis-invited her to the campaign event that was supposed to happen today. And basically said don't need you and don't need your supporters." Rogers welcomed the early November surprise with just two days to go before Tuesday's Election Day in a race that could flip the Democrat Senate seat red and help President Donald Trump's party keep control of the upper chamber. HALEY STEVENS RIPPED BY FELLOW DEMS FOR REFUSING TO EXPLICITLY BACK EL-SAYED: 'STAY THE F--- OFF TELEVISION' "I think she picked up the phone today after having lots of, apparently, conversations with a lot of people and picked up a phone and said, 'Hey, I heard you’re going to church, you want some company?'" Rogers added. "And so that was, I mean, we were very welcome for her, I’m very welcome to have her support." The unity event became divisive for the former Democratic Senate primary combatants after Stevens called on El-Sayed to condemn an outside group’s ad that she said blamed Israel for high grocery prices. Stevens' fiancé Jason Turkish, a Democratic donor and Jewish lawyer, said earlier in the week that he was going to vote for Rogers, raising concern from El-Sayed's campaign and other Democrats. ROGERS OPENS DOOR TO DEMOCRATIC VOTERS AFTER EL-SAYED’S PRIMARY VICTORY: ‘THERE IS STILL HOPE’ El-Sayed’s campaign then asked Stevens to skip his events through Election Day to avoid distracting from the race, sources said. In a social media video, Stevens said, "I don’t belong in Abdul’s campaign." Rogers said Democrats were "veering off into the virulent hate" directed at a group of people, while Stevens’ mother, Maria Marcotte, told Reuters her daughter was concerned about rhetoric she believed frightened constituents. BLACK VOTERS, JEWISH DEMOCRATS IN MICHIGAN WARY OF VOTING FOR EL-SAYED, SAY 'HE'S TAKING ADVANTAGE' Despite the rift, El-Sayed’s campaign said it raised $1.2 million in the four hours after Stevens’ endorsement, its second-best fundraising day since the August primary. Fox News Power Rankings latest projection rates the race as a Toss Up. Republicans currently hold a 53–47 Senate majority. While midterm election history tends to deliver power back to the party in the minority, Trump and Republicans have put added emphasis on retaining Senate control to hold back what is expected to become a Democrat-controlled House.

Trump is scheduled to speak at 2 p.m. ET and participate in nine tele-rallies throughout the day, following in-person campaign stops in Iowa and Kansas on Sunday. The president has made 30 in-person political appearances since August, including more than 27 rallies in October, with a longtime adviser who has joined him on the road offering a behind-the-scenes look at the travel, logistics and memorable moments along the way. LEAVITT SAYS TRUMP IS DEFYING MIDTERM HEADWINDS AS HE BARNSTORMS COUNTRY Alex Bruesewitz, a senior adviser to Trump's 2024 presidential campaign who has accompanied him on roughly 10 to 15 trips in recent weeks, told Fox News Digital that organizing rallies for a sitting president presents challenges far different from those of a traditional campaign. "It's actually much different than the campaign," Bruesewitz said. "When you're doing an event moving the current president of the United States, the logistics that go into it are nuts." The operation requires extensive coordination among White House staff, Republican operatives, campaign aides and advance teams, with the White House Office of Political Affairs, Office of Public Liaison and Republican National Committee all playing roles, according to Bruesewitz. "President Trump will continue crisscrossing the country with unmatched energy and enthusiasm to deliver a simple message: with Republicans in control of Congress, Americans can expect safer streets, lower taxes, secure borders, and energy dominance," White House spokesperson Olivia Wales told Fox News Digital. TRUMP TOUTS ‘GOLDEN AGE’ AT OHIO RALLY, URGES VOTERS TO DELIVER GOP MIDTERM WINS The demanding schedule has also produced some memorable moments aboard Air Force One. Bruesewitz recalled one particularly exhausting West Coast trip that left him sleeping aboard the presidential aircraft at 4 a.m. "I had a picture of me sleeping on the Air Force One at 4 a.m. [that] ended up somehow in the group chat of all the congressional first spouses," he recalled. The photograph drew messages from lawmakers' wives surprised by how exhausted he appeared. TRUMP WON THIS RELIABLY RED STATE BY DOUBLE DIGITS. NOW A DEADLOCKED RACE IS BRINGING HIM BACK Despite the long hours, Bruesewitz described an atmosphere reminiscent of Trump's 2024 campaign, with staffers moving from one event to the next and the president maintaining a packed schedule. And while the president remains focused on official business and preparing his remarks during flights to campaign stops, Bruesewitz said the mood aboard Air Force One shifts considerably on the way home. On return flights, staffers unwind with music and football, including a recent Green Bay Packers game that Bruesewitz, a devoted fan of the team, watched aboard the presidential aircraft. PRESIDENT TALKS 'TRUMP OCEAN,' TRADES JOKES WITH TENNESSEE CROWD AS KID ROCK KICKS OFF SPRAWLING RALLY The campaign stops have also featured appearances by high-profile celebrities, including boxing legends Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield and rapper Nicki Minaj. Bruesewitz recalled escorting Tyson to his seat after the boxing legend arrived at an event in New York, drawing excited reactions from attendees who recognized him. SKY-HIGH GAS PRICES AREN'T SHAKING TRUMP'S MAGA FAITHFUL IN OIL COUNTRY AS SUPPORTERS WARN OF BIGGER THREAT But one of Bruesewitz's favorite moments came during a recent stop in Port Huron, Michigan, where Minaj joined Trump for an appearance that drew a packed arena despite competing with a Detroit Lions football game. Bruesewitz said the stop was particularly memorable because many attendees were seeing Trump in person for the first time. "You could see and sense the enthusiasm of the attendees in the crowd," he said. "They were excited about Nicki going, but they were also just so pumped to be able to see the president in person." TRUMP'S MAGA FAITHFUL SEND WARNING TO REPUBLICANS AHEAD OF HIGH-STAKES MIDTERM ELECTIONS The final stretch also brought a late shift in Trump's campaign schedule, with in-person stops in Kansas and Iowa reinstated for Sunday after initially being scrapped in favor of tele-rallies aimed at reaching voters across nearly 20 states. After weeks of travel, packed arenas and a demanding schedule aboard Air Force One, Trump's campaign operation is set to close Monday with an appearance at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and a rapid-fire series of tele-rallies as Republicans make their final appeal to voters ahead of Election Day.

Both coaches are headed to similar dismissals which are deserved and the only reason it hasn't happened already is because the owners of the Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys are eccentric and perhaps arrogant enough to believe what is an obvious lost cause can still be redeemed. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said after Sunday's come-from-in-front overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals that Schottenheimer remains the Cowboys' coach and firing him is not a looming move. MIKE TOMLIN'S COACH CRITICISM MAKES HIM BETTER TV ANALYST BUT RAISES QUESTION WHETHER HE'S EYEING COWBOYS JOB "We're not going to get into anything, that's not in my mind at this time," Jones told the usual gaggle of reporters he entertains after home games. "The main thing that's in my mind is we tee it up for those kind of spots to win it. We really do want those situations. Call for it. Bring it on." The Cowboys got the situations they wanted, leading 14-3 at halftime and 17-10 after three quarters against the Cards. And they blew the game. The upstart Cardinals rallied behind Gardner Minshew throwing to Michael Wilson or handing it to Tyler Allgeier, who rushed for 147 yards against Dallas after gaining 64 yards the previous three games. Jones saw his team lose at home for the third time in four games. COWBOYS COACH BRIAN SCHOTTENHEIMER DEFENDS PLAYERS-ONLY MEETING DESPITE MIKE TOMLIN'S CRITICISM He saw his team fail to string together consecutive wins for the third time this season. Indeed, winning streaks are foreign to the Cowboys under Schottenheimer, because they have won consecutive games only once in his tenure. And out of all this, after losing to a roster that is less talented and slightly less experienced, Jones blamed practically everyone except Schottenheimer. "A lot of people let Brian down today," Jones said. "And so for whatever criticism we want to have of Brian, we can all get in line. To use a cliché, that was a total team effort out there for us. And we have to be, for our fans, we have to be better than that when we got our hands on a win and then drop the ball." So, Jones is staying the course for now. But that doesn't answer the fundamental question why? JONATHAN TAYLOR'S WIFE KNOWS THINGS SO DIRE FAMILY IS ON 'COLTS TRANSACTION WATCH' EXPECTING TRADES OR FIRING COLTS TRADE PRO BOWL GUARD QUENTON NELSON TO SEAHAWKS, THE FIRST OF WHAT COULD BE MULTIPLE DEADLINE MOVES The Colts were similarly trying to find answers to their continued problems after Sunday's blowout 42-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Colts have lost four consecutive games, fired their general manager, traded multiple star players, are on the verge of also trading running back Jonathan Taylor, and Steichen was somehow searching for reasons he's got problems. "I'm going to evaluate everything, every position going forward," Steichen said at one point when someone asked if Daniel Jones would remain his starting quarterback. Earth to Steichen: Where was this evaluation of Jones before you and deposed GM Chris Ballard agreed to give the quarterback a two-year extension in March? The coach who was all in on Jones in the offseason seemed suddenly willing to get out on Sunday. And that seems to be the prevailing culture in Indy. Owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon has quit on the season by firing the GM, and ordering the systematic trading of top talent to the highest draft choice bidder. Steichen has been seemingly picked up on that and turned on Jones. And some players are turning on the season as seen by them letting the Jaguars tear through weak tackle attempts to the tune of 183 rushing yards and three passing TDs by Trevor Lawrence. Because of all this, it would not really surprise if Irsay-Gordon soon turns her quitting on Steichen. As early as Monday. With the coach's ouster. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Should that guillotine not fall on Monday or this week, it would merely be a temporary stay and not a permanent sign of confidence. But if the ax falls, the Colts can hand the interim head coach job to defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo or offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter – both of whom have interviewed for NFL head coach vacancies in the past. Either way, change has come to the Colts and it will not be long before it claims Shane Steichen.

"And instead, we're out here talking about who gets to play what sport, which, you know, should be the question of the people who govern sports. I'm not running to govern sports, right?" El-Sayed told correspondent Ross Douthat during the interview. The discussion came as Douthat asked a broader question about parental control over education and tensions between some Muslim voters and cultural liberalism. His examples included what schools teach and transgender students’ participation on sports teams. "Like these are places where rights are in conflict," Douthat said before asking how those disagreements should be resolved. "I don't know that that's actually true," El-Sayed responded. "I think we manufacture these social issues because here's the thing about it, Ross. You have an iPhone in your pocket probably or is it an iPhone or a Samsung?" El-Sayed went on to argue that smartphones and the internet make it unrealistic for parents to prevent children from encountering ideas they find objectionable. He said parents should explain their beliefs and help children navigate what they encounter. "I think it's really important for us to recognize that the free flow of information is actually a beautiful thing," he said. He then returned to sports while accusing people who emphasize cultural disputes of diverting attention from economic problems. "A lot of the cultural war issues that get fought right now are about trying to distract us from the fact that we can't afford our gas, can't afford our groceries, can't see a doctor, are worried about whether or not our kids are going to have a good life," he said. MICHIGAN DEMOCRAT AWKWARDLY PIVOTS TO CIRCUMCISION DURING HEATED FOX NEWS DEBATE ON CHILD SEX CHANGES El-Sayed did not specify in the exchange which eligibility rules he believes sports organizations should adopt, or whether he would support federal legislation restricting transgender athletes’ participation in girls’ and women’s sports. CBS released extended candidate interviews alongside its Sunday broadcast. El-Sayed faces Republican former Rep. Mike Rogers in Tuesday’s election for the Michigan Senate seat held by retiring Democrat Gary Peters. Rogers posted a clip of El-Sayed's answer on the topic on X, which prompted widespread viral criticism against the Democrat. The candidates have previously taken sharply different positions on transgender participation in female sports. During his 2024 Senate campaign, Rogers signed Independent Women’s Voice’s Stand With Women Commitment, promising to support legislation preserving female opportunities and private spaces. "Biological men should not be competing with our daughters, period," Rogers said at the time. Rogers also made the issue part of an Aug. 28 campaign advertisement this year, released with the National Republican Senatorial Committee as part of what his campaign described as a coordinated seven-figure advertising buy. MICHIGAN DEM SENATE NOMINEE COMES UNDER FIRE OVER RESURFACED BLOG POST LINKING FOOTBALL TO 'TOXIC MASCULINITY' "Abdul thinks football is bad, but men playing in women's sports is good," Rogers said in the ad. El-Sayed previously advocated government action to protect transgender students’ access to sports teams matching their gender identity. In a March 2018 interview during his campaign for Michigan governor, Pride Source asked whether he would fight at the state level for students’ access to bathrooms, athletic facilities and teams consistent with their gender identity. El-Sayed said the state should "protect access to bathrooms, to locker rooms, to sports teams of choice for young people." CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE He argued that exclusion could compound bullying and mental-health problems for transgender students, and that government had a responsibility to protect them. The dispute has also produced federal investigations and litigation in Michigan. The U.S. Education Department announced June 18 that it was opening Title IX investigations into Ann Arbor Public Schools, Monroe Public Schools and Chippewa Valley School District over allegations concerning athletic participation and locker-room access based on gender identity. The announcement opened investigations; it did not establish that the districts had violated the law. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! In October, Monroe volleyball player Briley Lechner and her father sued Monroe Public Schools, the Michigan High School Athletic Association and district officials. Their attorneys allege school officials concealed an opposing transgender player’s participation and allowed the teams to share locker-room facilities. Monroe’s superintendent said in April that an independent investigation found the district’s Title IX allegations unsubstantiated. On Oct. 13, Monroe’s school board voted 5-2 to restrict girls’ sports and girls’ locker rooms to biological females, CBS Detroit reported. At the college level, the NCAA changed its policy in February 2025 following President Donald Trump’s executive order on women’s sports. Its rules prohibit athletes assigned male at birth from competing on women’s teams, while permitting them to practice with those teams. Sports eligibility has also been the subject of Senate votes. On March 3, 2025, a motion to advance the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act received 51 votes in favor and 45 against, falling short of the three-fifths threshold required. The legislation would define sex for Title IX athletics compliance according to reproductive biology and genetics at birth.

The study, dubbed the RESET for Remission trial, found that 54% of participants under age 45 who completed the intensive lifestyle program achieved disease remission. In comparison, only 4% of participants receiving standard medical care reached the same milestone. VITAMIN SUPPLEMENT MAY DELAY DIABETES IN SELECT GROUPS, RESEARCHERS SAY Type 2 diabetes diagnosed at a younger age is historically aggressive, according to medical literature. Patients diagnosed before 45 face a faster loss of blood sugar control, earlier cardiovascular complications and a shorter overall life expectancy than those diagnosed later in life. Researchers from McGill University in Canada and the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom enrolled 96 adults between the ages of 18 and 45 who were living with obesity and early-onset type 2 diabetes. None of the participants were using insulin. The intervention group halted their blood sugar and blood pressure medications under medical supervision and began an intensive 800- to 900-calorie daily diet. SIMPLE EXERCISE DONE JUST ONCE A WEEK COULD HELP LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE For the first two weeks, patients consumed only meal-replacement products. From weeks three through 12, they were allowed one structured meal of lean protein and vegetables each day alongside meal replacements, before shifting into a weight maintenance phase for the final 12 weeks. The program paired calorie restriction with supervised aerobic and resistance training twice weekly, plus one weekly solo workout. "Our study shows that it is possible to combine a low-calorie diet with supervised exercise in young adults with type 2 diabetes," lead author Dr. Kaberi Dasgupta, a professor of medicine and director of the Division of General Internal Medicine at McGill University, told Fox News Digital. "There has previously been some concern about combining the two as being too much of a burden for people. However, people in our study stayed in our study." Only 10% of participants failed to complete the final evaluations, and patients attended a median of 17 out of 20 scheduled supervised gym sessions. The researchers emphasized resistance training to combat the loss of lean muscle mass, a major risk associated with rapid weight loss. 4 SIMPLE HABITS CAN HELP SLOW MUSCLE LOSS AS YOU AGE, FITNESS EXPERT SAYS People who lose weight through crash dieting or appetite-suppressing medications may shed muscle along with fat, experts warn. If the weight returns, some research suggests it may come back disproportionately as body fat, potentially affecting muscle health and metabolism over time. "In our study, we think the diet provoked the weight loss, and exercise helped make sure it was [not] from muscle," Dasgupta said. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ "We were happy and surprised that not only did people lose fat from their organs and liver, our MRI studies indicated their muscle did not decrease at all and their handgrip strength went up." Participants shed an average of 18.5 pounds over 24 weeks, while significantly boosting their treadmill endurance and overall cardiovascular fitness. To meet the official standard for remission, patients had to maintain an HbA1c blood sugar level below 6.5% after going at least 12 weeks without any glucose-lowering drugs. CLICK HERE FOR MORE HEALTH STORIES After accounting for baseline health factors, researchers concluded that patients on the diet and exercise program were 21 times more likely to achieve remission than those receiving routine care. Despite the promising outcomes, experts emphasized notable limitations. The trial was small, examining fewer than 100 individuals across medical centers in England and Canada over a relatively short six-month window. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER Dasgupta also noted that the study could not determine exactly what was responsible for each benefit. "The main limitation is that we had to compare the diet plus exercise with usual care," he told Fox News Digital. "We would have liked to compare diet alone against diet and exercise to perfectly prove the point that the improvements in muscle and fitness were from the exercise." The strict routine also took a physical toll. Roughly 86% of the intervention group reported mild to moderate side effects, primarily during the early weeks, including headaches, fatigue, dizziness and constipation, though researchers noted that no severe medical complications occurred. Health professionals cautioned that diabetes remission is not a permanent cure, and sustaining an 800-calorie threshold alongside supervised gym can present steep hurdles for busy adults outside a clinical setting. Study authors noted that longer-term trials in real-world settings are still needed to determine whether patients can keep the weight off, preserve their muscle gains and remain medication-free once regular daily routines resume.

"It is very helpful to return the funding to the states that we already get, but with less regulation on those funds so that I can serve our students' needs — precisely what they need— instead of maybe what somebody in Washington thought they needed," Carolyn Sharette, founder and executive director of American Preparatory Academy (APA), told Fox News Digital. Sharette founded APA in Utah in 2003. The public charter school network now serves more than 5,000 students across eight Utah campuses. DENVER MOTHER FIGHTS FOR HER DAUGHTER'S EDUCATION AS ADVOCATES MAKE NATIONWIDE SCHOOL CHOICE PUSH "We know exactly what our students need here to progress, and so returning the education to the states means we get to use the money in more flexible ways to help our students," Sharette said. On Oct.20, APA’s West Valley City campus served as the 47th stop on Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s 50-state "Returning Education to the States Tour," which aims to highlight the Trump administration's K-12 reform efforts. Delivering a keynote speech titled "The Next 250: K-12 Education," McMahon emphasized shifting authority back to local leaders, investing in proven academic interventions, and expanding school choice for families. According to U.S. Department of Education officials, more than $3 trillion in federal taxpayer money has been funneled into K-12 education in recent decades. Despite the massive expenditure, national assessment data shows only about three in 10 students perform at or above proficient levels in math and reading. AMERICAN SCHOOLS COST MORE THAN EVER BUT OUR STUDENTS STILL KEEP FAILING Upon taking office, McMahon pledged to work toward dismantling the federal education agency, including installing leaders tasked with phasing out their own divisions. The effort aligns with President Donald Trump’s broader educational agenda, which he highlighted during a White House Rose Garden event championing school choice. "School choice is really profound, actually," Sharette told Fox News Digital. "The role we play because we provide a place for parents to choose a different school if they'd like, and it's wonderful that they have that option." MCMAHON PLANS TO 'FIRE' HERSELF FROM A JOB, STRIVING TO SHOW CONGRESS THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF ED IS NOT NEEDED "We provide a school that is a classical school," Sharette added. "We teach through literature, we teach the science of reading. We've always had very high reading scores at our school. So parents who are looking for a rigorous and classical education can choose our school and have that freedom." Trump has also pledged to eliminate "far-left extremism" from classrooms, arguing that decades of federal administrative oversight have failed to yield acceptable academic results. To streamline operations, the Department of Education recently launched a new waiver process allowing state leaders to request greater flexibility when spending federal funds, while significantly cutting administrative red tape. Iowa became the first state in the nation to participate in the flexibility initiative.

Polls, forecasts, and prediction markets are now ringing alarm bells for Republicans, as virtually all key races move in Democrats’ direction. Indeed, on Saturday, Cook Political Report shifted "a dozen more House races" toward Democrats, now projecting that Democrats will flip 12-25 House seats, potentially giving them their largest majority since 2009. As a result, political forecasting sites VoteHub and Decision Desk have updated their odds of Democrats taking the House to their highest levels of the cycle: 89% and 83%, respectively, as of Sunday afternoon. EVERYTHING TO KNOW ABOUT HOUSE AND SENATE CONTROL, BALLOT MEASURES AND 2026 ELECTION DAY POLL CLOSING Prediction markets have followed suit: Kalshi gives Democrats a 93% chance to take the House and a 71% chance to win the Senate as well. To that end, the trends in the Senate point in the same direction, and while Republicans have slightly better odds of keeping the upper chamber, it’s clear that the momentum is with Democrats. SENATE CONTROL IS A COIN FLIP — AND DEMOCRATS’ PATH RUNS THROUGH TRUMP COUNTRY Final polls ahead of the election show all or most of the seven key races shifting to the left, including in Kansas, where Democrat Adam Hamilton leads in the four most recent polls, including one from The Washington Post in which he led Republican incumbent Roger Marshall by 9%. True, that is an outlier – and its accuracy is being reviewed by The Washington Post – but the fact that every other poll is within 6 points in a state that has not had a Democratic senator in over 90 years indicates that the underlying trend is moving in Democrats’ favor. MAINE, KANSAS SENATE RACES NECK AND NECK AS DEMOCRATS LEAD IN TEXAS, MICHIGAN, POLL SHOWS Other Republican-held seats like South Carolina, Iowa, Maine, Texas, and Ohio are also increasingly within reach for Democrats. Of those races, South Carolina and Iowa are the only two where the Republican candidate has a polling lead, but it’s under 3 points in South Carolina and under 1 point in Iowa. Thus, both races are statistically tied and within reach for Democrats. GOP SENATE MAJORITY FACES FRESH UNCERTAINTY AS 2 KEY RACES TIGHTEN DAYS BEFORE MIDTERMS In the other states – Maine, Texas, Ohio, and Michigan – the polls have consistently shown Democratic candidates leading. And while those leads are small, they have not contracted, and Michigan in particular has seen a noticeable widening, with Abdul El-Sayed now leading Republican Mike Rogers by roughly 4 points. However, it will be interesting to see whether Rep. Haley Stevens’ endorsement of Rogers impacts the race, particularly among moderates and Black voters, as polls show that El-Sayed has struggled with both key demographics. DEMOCRAT HALEY STEVENS ENDORSES GOP SENATE NOMINEE MIKE ROGERS AT DETROIT CHURCH That said, given that North Carolina’s Senate race is effectively decided for Democrat Roy Cooper – who leads Republican Michael Whatley by nearly 11 points – Democrats now have a wide range of possible routes to winning the Senate. VETERAN DEM OPERATIVE SAYS SUBPAR GOP CANDIDATES POISED TO HAND OVER SENATE MAJORITY Immediately after the 2024 election, it may have seemed improbable that just two years later, Democrats would be on the verge of retaking both the House and Senate, let alone possibly winning states like South Carolina, Alaska, Iowa, Texas, and Kansas. Yet it is a very real possibility, owing in no small part to President Trump’s approval rating, currently below 40%. SCHOEN, COOPERMAN: DEMOCRATS COULD BE RIDING A MIDTERM WAVE. THESE NUMBERS SHOULD TERRIFY THE GOP On key issues, it’s even worse. Less than 3 in 10 (29%) Americans approve of Trump’s handling of the economy, and an even smaller 22% approve of how he’s handled inflation, per Fox News polling. Even as Republican candidates and operatives talk up their chances in these close races, there are signs of panic within Republican ranks. TRUMP-BACKED SENATOR ADMITS GOP FACES NIGHTMARE SCENARIO IN STATE REPUBLICANS HAVEN'T LOST IN 90 YEARS Trump’s decision to cancel, then reschedule, rallies in Kansas and Iowa this weekend says as much. Republicans in those two deep-red states should not need a boost from the president, but with the national environment tilting toward Democrats, they do. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Put another way, if Republicans were confident in their chances, they would not need the president to campaign in some of the deepest-red states and districts. Ultimately, while we will only know the true picture after all the votes have been counted, coming out of the campaign’s final weekend, it is clear that Democrats have the advantage.

"We just recorded our second consecutive year of getting $100 billion to Main Street businesses," Loeffler told Fox News Digital, crediting Trump’s tax cuts, deregulation and trade policies. SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS BUILT THE AMERICAN DREAM. DEMOCRATS WANT TO TAKE IT FROM YOU The economic debate could help determine which party controls Congress, as both parties try to persuade voters their policies will improve household finances and business prospects. Loeffler said the business owners she meets want to expand but need confidence that Washington will support long-term investment. They most often tell her they need more skilled workers, she said. DSA-BACKED CANDIDATES ARE WINNING PRIMARIES AND THEIR VISION FOR AMERICA IS VERY DIFFERENT "What they can’t tolerate is having Washington say that they’re gonna massively regulate them, massively tax them," she said. The Small Business Administration said it guaranteed 62,205 loans worth $39.5 billion through its 7(a) and 504 programs in fiscal 2026, its third-highest loan volume on record. The agency’s $100 billion total also includes private investment, disaster aid and business support. The SBA said the 43-day government shutdown halted lending through its main loan programs for nearly two months, preventing an estimated $5 billion in financing over the fiscal year.

One social media post claimed that drinking coffee on an empty stomach can damage the lining that protects the gut from stomach acid, and in a post on TikTok, a medical professional advised against drinking coffee on an empty stomach, saying that it can cause a spike in cortisol levels. Cortisol is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands, which are located on top of the kidneys. It helps regulate the body's response to stress, and high or low cortisol levels can affect a person's health, according to the Cleveland Clinic. THINK YOUR CORTISOL IS TOO HIGH? EXPERT REVEALS THE TRUTH BEHIND VIRAL WELLNESS CRAZE "Coffee doesn't seem to cause major problems when you drink it on an empty stomach. Studies haven't really shown that it causes problems [with] your cortisol or blood sugar or any other kind of metabolic issues," Dr. Asma Khapra, a gastroenterologist at GastroHealth in Fairfax, Virginia, told Fox News Digital. Cortisol naturally peaks in the morning, according to the Cleveland Clinic, so the "spike" in cortisol some people attribute to drinking coffee on an empty stomach might just be a natural process rather than a side effect of the coffee. Consuming caffeine relaxes the muscular valve between the esophagus and stomach, according to the Cleveland Clinic, which can cause stomach acid to move up into the esophagus and possibly lead to heartburn. CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE NEWS Both regular and decaf coffee trigger the release of stomach acid and gastrin, a hormone that regulates digestion. This occurs whether a person has eaten, but without food, various symptoms can arise, such as nausea, burning in the abdomen, or the urge to use the bathroom, New Jersey-based gastroenterologist Dr. Douglas Weine told Everyday Health. Caffeine is a stimulant, so it can activate the central nervous system and contribute to an increase in blood pressure and heart rate, which can lead to anxiety, heart palpitations and sleep issues, Weine added. Everyone handles caffeine differently, and some are more sensitive to it than others. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ It is true that the body absorbs coffee and, therefore, caffeine more rapidly when the stomach is empty, the Cleveland Clinic says, although some people experience no negative side effects when consuming coffee on an empty stomach. According to Khapra, "it shouldn't really cause too many GI symptoms." "I think it's fine if you enjoy your cup of coffee on an empty stomach," she said, with the caveat that a large amount of cream, milk, sugar or other additives is not included.

Hassan Bennett, chair of the Philadelphia Citizens Police Oversight Commission, faces charges after investigators say he sold a witness's name and an unredacted arrest report to a prison inmate in a domestic violence attempted murder case to Thomas Scott, who allegedly vowed to "blow down" the witness "in broad daylight." Bennett also works at the Defender Association of Philadelphia. Investigators listened to prison calls and heard Bennett read Scott details from the arrest report in the attempted murder case, the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office said in a news release. Bennett also allegedly handed over the witness's full name. MADISON BROOKS RAPE SUSPECT'S ATTORNEY HELD IN CONTEMPT FOR USING HER NAME TO TRY TO BAN PINK IN COURTROOM Scott then asked Bennett for a copy of the paperwork, offering to pay him $500, officials said. The documents were sent to Scott, who sent them to various other people "in order to intimidate the witness in the open case," the district attorney's office said. The district attorney's office said Scott was recorded saying he "was searching for the witness's location, that the witness needs to recant his statement." LUIGI MANGIONE JUDGE SAYS JURORS WILL REMAIN ANONYMOUS AFTER THREATS AND HARASSMENT OF WITNESSES Officials say Scott was recorded saying "the whole purpose of his social media posts was to prevent the witness from coming to court." Bennett, who now leads the Citizens Police Oversight Commission, a body formed after the 2020 protests over George Floyd's death, was convicted of second-degree murder in 2008. He was acquitted at a 2019 retrial, where one of the victims and a co-defendant testified that their earlier statements implicating him had been coerced by a then-homicide detective.

DEM JUSTICES SLAP SOROS-BACKED PHILLY DA WITH POWER STRIP IN STUNNING DECISION: 'NOT RELIABLE' In a statement, the Philadelphia Citizens Police Oversight Commission said Bennett is on leave. "We recognize the seriousness of this matter. We will respect the legal process, refrain from commenting on legal allegations that are under investigation and take appropriate steps to protect confidential information," the commission said. "Our responsibility to the people of Philadelphia remains unchanged. We will continue our work to strengthen police accountability, promote transparency, and build public trust." Fox News Digital reached out to Scott's attorney. Bennett could not immediately be reached for comment.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae8617e726b22deeb69886e EJ ANTONI: Overseas wars put affordability on hold, but that’s only temporary te 2026-11-02T10:10:06.467Z EJ ANTONI: Overseas wars put affordability on hold, but that’s only temporary American families aren’t imagining it: we’ve had affordability problems since at least 2022. The situation was improving markedly throughout last year, right up until this February, but overseas conflicts reversed some of that progress. Once the wars with Iran and in Ukraine conclude, affordability will start to improve again. The cost-of-living crisis started during the Biden administration when prices rose so much faster than earnings that people’s paychecks shrunk in terms of their purchasing power. Although the average American’s weekly paycheck grew roughly 17% during President Joe Biden’s term, it bought about 4% less. For many families, that meant canceling vacation plans or being unable to buy a newer vehicle. For others, it meant having to put some necessities — like rent, prescriptions and food — on credit cards. Even when inflation came down, families were still facing high costs since inflation is the rate of price increases, not the prices themselves. DEMOCRATS SAY THEY'LL MAKE LIFE AFFORDABLE. YOUR WALLET MAY DISAGREE To add insult to injury, 40-year-high inflation prompted the fastest rise in interest rates in just as long. Not only did prices rise rapidly, but so did borrowing costs. That was a deadly one-two punch for homeownership affordability as higher home prices and mortgage interest rates combined to double the monthly payment on a median-priced home in just four years. But affordability was improving after January 2025. Real (inflation-adjusted) weekly paychecks rose roughly 2% on average from January 2025 through February of this year. While not a windfall, it was still good progress and reversed half the cumulative losses from the Biden years as income growth outpaced inflation. GEN Z IS WORKING HARD, BUT THE ECONOMY IS PUTTING THE AMERICAN DREAM OUT OF REACH FOR MANY Tax and regulatory reform, along with sound energy policy, were spurring economic activity and wage growth while keeping inflation down. Then the Iran war broke out. Global energy markets specifically and supply chains broadly were severely disrupted, causing costs to skyrocket. Oil prices quickly rose from $60 or $70 per barrel, depending on the market, to $100 or $120. Prices at the pump soon followed, but the energy shock is spilling over to more sectors of the economy with each passing day. CHEVRON CEO WARNS IRAN CONFLICT HAS CREATED 'VERY REAL' THREAT TO GLOBAL OIL SUPPLIES AS GAS PRICES CLIMB Energy is an input cost in every product and service consumers buy. Food at the grocery store was grown with diesel-powered tractors and fertilizer synthesized from natural gas. It was transported to the store on a truck, and maybe a train too, fueled by diesel. Prices for everything from airfares to plastics to manufactured goods are up because of the energy shock. The reversal in progress on affordability is evident in housing too. Homeownership affordability hit a three-year high in February and, while still relatively low, marked a significant improvement from the record low in the Biden years. However, it’s fallen each month since then to the lowest level since July 2024 as interest rates ramped up. THE OVERLOOKED WAY THE IRAN WAR IS MAKING GROCERIES, AMAZON PACKAGES AND NEW HOMES MORE EXPENSIVE Those higher mortgage interest rates are also a result of the current energy shock. When fuel supplies began falling, energy prices rose, and that in turn drove inflation expectations higher. Interest rates followed as lenders demanded a higher return for the anticipated inflation. And the disruptions are not just from the Middle East, but Eastern Europe too. Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure have exacerbated the shortage of oil and petroleum products, especially diesel. The result was higher prices and lower real earnings. AMERICA'S TRUCKERS ISSUE DIRE WARNING AS SOARING DIESEL COSTS THREATEN 'DOMINO EFFECT' However, unlike the runaway inflation that peaked in 2022 at an annual rate exceeding 9%, today’s higher prices are not from the government devaluing the currency by spending, borrowing and creating too much money. Rather, this is an energy shock that is causing countless prices to rise. The difference in causation means there’s a different solution and a better outlook too. The affordability crisis was easing significantly until the energy shocks hit and those shocks came from overseas. There’s nothing wrong with the domestic fundamentals underpinning the American economy. LEE ZELDIN: BIDEN'S ENERGY RULES COST BILLIONS. TRUMP'S EPA IS LOWERING COSTS Investment is booming, the manufacturing sector is expanding at the fastest pace in at least four years, the private sector is adding jobs, AI is fueling productivity growth and earnings are still growing. Once the conflicts overseas are resolved, energy markets will begin to normalize and costs will start declining. Then the economy will be firing on all cylinders. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION Just as higher energy prices are pushing up costs everywhere else, so will lower energy prices put downward pressure on consumer staples everywhere. Likewise, inflation expectations will fall, dragging interest rates back down and improving homeownership affordability. Falling prices and rising earnings mean more breathing room for families. None of this will happen overnight because supply chains take time to heal, but it’s crystal clear that once peace returns, affordability will follow. All the other pieces of the puzzle are already in place. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM E.J.

Republicans are fighting to defend their congressional majorities as Democrats seek gains in battlegrounds from Texas and Georgia to Michigan and Maine. Open seats, vulnerable incumbents and competitive statewide races have put nine states at the center of the fight for power in Washington and state capitals. With races stretching across multiple time zones, here are the key contests to watch, when polls close and how to follow live results as Election Night unfolds. SENATE CONTROL IS A COIN FLIP — AND DEMOCRATS’ PATH RUNS THROUGH TRUMP COUNTRY Texas voters face two major statewide showdowns, with Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton battling Democratic state Rep. James Talarico for the Senate seat held by outgoing Republican John Cornyn, while GOP Gov. Greg Abbott seeks a historic fourth term against Democratic state Rep. Gina Hinojosa. TRUMP WON THIS RELIABLY RED STATE BY DOUBLE DIGITS. NOW A DEADLOCKED RACE IS BRINGING HIM BACK The Senate contest has emerged as an unusually competitive race in a state that has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since Lloyd Bentsen in 1988, pitting Paxton's conservative appeal and history of legal controversies against Talarico's campaign focused on political change. Meanwhile, Abbott's reelection bid offers another test of Republican dominance, with border security, education and the economy shaping the fight over the state's future. Ohio features a Senate rematch of sorts, with former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown seeking a return to Washington against Republican Sen. Jon Husted, who was appointed to fill Vice President JD Vance's former seat. Brown is attempting a political comeback in a state that has shifted toward Republicans, while Husted seeks his first electoral victory for the Senate. Husted's campaign also enlisted Ohio native and former NFL coach Jon "Chucky" Gruden for campaign appearances. Voters will decide who succeeds term-limited Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, with Republican Vivek Ramaswamy facing Democrat Amy Acton. Ramaswamy's campaign recently pulled a controversial ad featuring Acton's estranged mother after criticism from fellow Republicans, including DeWine. Michigan's open Senate seat could prove pivotal to the balance of power in Washington, with former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers facing Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in the contest to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters. ABDUL EL-SAYED'S ALLEGED FAMILY TIES TO MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD SURFACE AFTER DENYING ANY LINK DURING NBC INTERVIEW The Senate race has grown increasingly contentious as Rogers and Republican allies have raised allegations about El-Sayed's family's purported ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, citing old social media posts by his half-sister. El-Sayed has denied any connection to the organization and publicly disavowed it, while independent fact-checkers have found no evidence establishing his personal affiliation. The state also features a gubernatorial showdown between Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Republican Rep. John James, testing whether Michigan voters will maintain Democratic control of the governor's office or turn to Republicans. Wisconsin's open governor's race pits Republican Rep. Tom Tiffany against Democratic Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley as voters choose a successor to Democratic Gov. Tony Evers. The contest centers on the state's political direction, including taxes, public spending and education, after Crowley defeated progressive state Rep. Francesca Hong in a crowded Democratic primary. Georgia offers two major statewide contests, with Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff defending his seat against Republican Rep. Mike Collins in a state Trump narrowly carried in 2024. Ossoff's race will test whether Democrats can hold a Senate seat in a state that has delivered closely contested presidential and Senate elections, while the open governor's race between Republican businessman Rick Jackson and former Democratic Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms will determine who succeeds term-limited Republican Gov. Brian Kemp. Iowa voters will decide whether Republicans can retain two major offices in a state Trump carried comfortably in 2024. Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson faces Democratic state Rep. Josh Turek for the Senate seat being vacated by Republican Joni Ernst, while Democratic state Auditor Rob Sand faces Republican Zach Lahn in the open governor's race to succeed retiring longtime GOP Gov. Kim Reynolds. Although the Hawkeye State has shifted toward Republicans in recent election cycles, Democrats previously enjoyed sustained statewide success through figures including former Sen. Tom Harkin and former Gov. Tom Vilsack. The contests will test whether Democrats can regain ground, with affordability, agriculture and state economic policy among the central issues. Nevada's marquee contest features Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo seeking another term against Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford. The race will test whether Republicans can retain the governor's office in a state where Democrats have remained competitive in statewide elections, with housing affordability, education and public safety among the issues facing voters. Lombardo, the former Clark County sheriff, defeated incumbent Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak in 2022, with Ford now hoping to hit the jackpot in Carson City. Maine's Senate race pits longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins against former Democratic state Senate President Troy Jackson in one of the country's most closely watched contests. Collins is seeking another term in a blue-leaning state that supported Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. Meanwhile, Jackson is attempting to turn Maine's Democratic presidential voting pattern into a Senate pickup after replacing Graham Platner, who withdrew as the Democratic nominee following a sexual assault allegation that he denied. The contest will test Collins' longstanding crossover appeal and could have major consequences for the Senate's balance of power, as she remains New England's only Republican member of Congress. Florida voters will choose a successor to term-limited Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, with Republican Rep. Byron Donalds facing former Republican congressman turned Democrat David Jolly. The race presents a contest over the future of Florida's government, including affordability, immigration and the direction of state policy. Republican Sen. Ashley Moody, appointed to the seat vacated by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, also faces DSA-affiliated Democratic state Rep. Angie Nixon in a special Senate election, while competitive House contests could affect the national congressional picture.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae8617c726b22deeb69885c REP BRIAN MAST: We are protecting our troops from having our own tech used against them te 2026-11-02T10:10:04.745Z REP BRIAN MAST: We are protecting our troops from having our own tech used against them The key objective in economic warfare is to do more harm to your enemy than you do to yourself, and President Donald Trump is doing what every American president should do: putting America first and making sure the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) cannot use our own resources against us. Let’s be clear about what we are dealing with. The CCP is not our friend. It is a strategic adversary that wants to weaken the United States, challenge our military and place itself in leadership around the world. China is pouring resources into the technologies that will define the next generation of warfare. It wants more advanced weapons, better targeting systems, stronger cyber capabilities and every technological advantage it can get its hands on. And you better believe they will buy, cheat and steal their way to getting it, so in no way should we, the United States of America, be helping them get there faster. For too long, American capital and expertise have found their way into Chinese companies developing technologies with military applications. And for anyone to argue that every part of China’s economy isn’t linked directly to the CCP military clearly hasn’t been paying attention. That is a serious national security failure. We should never allow our investments, our ingenuity or our world-class research to give the CCP an advantage over the United States. TRUMP'S QUIET CHINA WINS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN XI'S EMPTY STATE VISIT That’s why I couldn’t be happier to see the Trump administration propose new rules to put an end to Chinese infiltration. By strengthening restrictions on investments that could help build China's military-industrial base, the administration is taking meaningful action to protect the technologies that keep America strong. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and the administration deserve a huge amount of credit for advancing these protections and working to ensure that American money does not end up strengthening our greatest foreign adversary. The COINS Act was a great step forward to provide a stronger foundation for preventing American investment from supporting sensitive technologies in countries that threaten our national security. Now, we are making sure those protections have teeth. CHINA IS BUILDING AN AI WAR MACHINE. WASHINGTON MUST WAKE UP BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE We are closing loopholes, addressing the ways financial and professional services can help Chinese companies advance and ensuring that restrictions keep pace with the technologies Beijing is trying to acquire. Because this is not just about money. It is about American lives. I served in the Army. I know what it means to put on a uniform and accept the responsibility of defending this country. To pray that our military is better and stronger than our enemy’s. But our service members don’t get to choose whether the enemy they face has better technology. And we should never ask them to confront an adversary that we helped make stronger. BEYOND KILLER ROBOTS: CHINA'S REAL AI THREAT TO AMERICA IS ALREADY HERE, EXPERTS WARN Think about the consequences. Every technological advantage China gains can make it harder for our troops to detect a threat, defend against an attack, protect their communications or accomplish their mission and come home safely. When the CCP develops more capable weapons and more advanced military systems, it is our service members who may ultimately have to face them. Our troops should never have to face a more powerful Chinese military because American dollars helped build it. That is why we cannot afford to be careless about where American money goes. We cannot warn the American people about China's military buildup with one hand while allowing our capital and expertise to help finance it with the other. Protecting our national security means making difficult decisions, confronting uncomfortable realities and refusing to let short-term financial interests come before the safety of the American people. We also need to recognize that this competition is about more than the next investment or the next regulation. It is about who will control the technologies that shape the future on and off the battlefield. Artificial intelligence (AI), advanced semiconductors, quantum computing and other critical technologies will determine economic strength and military power for generations to come. CHINA ‘THROWING GASOLINE ON THE FIRE’ IN AI DATA CENTERS RACE, SAY LAWMAKERS America has the talent, the resources and the ingenuity to lead that race. But we cannot win if we keep handing our advantages to the Chinese Communist Party. We have the responsibility to protect our breakthroughs, strengthen our defense industrial base and make sure American innovation serves American interests. It’s for this very reason I have been so passionate about passing legislation to do these very things. During this Congress, we in the House Foreign Affairs Committee have been staunch supporters of codifying the president’s AI Action Plan with legislation such as AI OVERWATCH Act, the MATCH Act and the Remote Access Security Act, to strengthen oversight of advanced AI chip exports, close loopholes in semiconductor equipment controls, and prevent China from bypassing our safeguards through remote access to sensitive technology. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION We cannot let the CCP exploit gaps in our laws to get the chips, equipment and computing power it needs to strengthen its military. If we close one door but leave another wide open, China will always find a way through and it will mean dangerous consequences for the U.S. on the other side. I applaud President Trump for taking action to protect America's technological edge and for recognizing that we cannot allow the Chinese Communist Party to exploit our own success against us.

Steve Hilton gives voters golden opportunity to stay te 2026-11-02T10:10:03.512Z GIANNO CALDWELL: I fled California. Steve Hilton gives voters golden opportunity to stay I lived in Los Angeles from 2017 until May 2020, two months into the LA shutdown, and by the end I barely recognized it. The city I had moved to for its energy and opportunity was starting to look like Gotham City. Tent cities spread across Los Angeles. Break-ins and violent crime climbed. When COVID-19 arrived, the people running California seemed far more interested in policing masks on the beach than policing the streets. So, I left for Miami because Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis governed his state with sanity. I was blessed. I could leave. Millions of Californians can't, and they shouldn't have to. Six years later, California Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton is giving Californians a reason to stay. CA POST EDITORIAL BOARD: VOTE HILTON FOR CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR OVER ESTABLISHMENT HACK BECERRA FOR REAL CHANGE What was once a great state has turned into a hellhole for too many of its own citizens. Working families pay some of the highest gas prices in America, and have for over a decade, along with some of the highest housing costs anywhere. Small businesses are drowning in fees and regulation. Homeless encampments, open drug use and crime have become normal in a state that used to draw people from around the world. After 16 years of one-party rule in Sacramento, Californians deserve to ask a simple question: What are the results? Unfortunately, a state in decline. Hilton has proven over and over again that he is the person voters should entrust to succeed Democrat Gavin Newsom as governor of California. I must admit, I am impressed by what he has done as a candidate. I've known Steve since our days together at Fox News. Even then, he wasn't interested in cable-news shouting matches. He wanted to talk about solutions, and that's exactly the candidate he has become. NEWSOM UNDER FIRE AS CALIFORNIA GAS TAX HIKE SENDS PUMP PRICES EVEN HIGHER Just look at the campaign he's run. It has been focused and substantive. In an era when too many candidates run on slogans and grievance, Hilton has put real plans on the table. He wants no state income tax on the first $150,000 a Californian earns. He has a plan to get gas to $3 a gallon by eliminating the state gas tax, repealing the Low Carbon Fuel Standard and producing more of our own oil here at home. On housing, he would streamline building codes and rein in the lawsuits under the California Environmental Quality Act that are routinely used to stop housing from ever getting built. STEVE HILTON LAUNCHES AD MOCKING XAVIER BECERRA'S '36 YEARS' AS A CAREER POLITICIAN IN CALIFORNIA GOV RACE You can disagree with any one of those ideas. But you can't say he hasn't approached the issues with gravitas. On top of that, he's outworked his opponent. Since the June primary, Hilton has campaigned all over California, while Democrat Xavier Becerra, a former Health and Human Services secretary under President Joe Biden, has kept a low profile as if he doesn't have to compete for every vote. When the Los Angeles Times hosted a candidate forum this month, Hilton showed up and answered tough questions on homelessness, housing and climate. Becerra didn't attend. HOUSING FIRST IS A DISASTER. I SAW SACRAMENTO'S HOMELESS CHAOS FIRSTHAND Public safety is the work I've given my life to. As founder of the Caldwell Institute for Public Safety, I fight for victims and for communities left behind when leaders refuse to enforce the law. That work is exactly why I personally support Steve Hilton's candidacy, and why I believe he is the right choice for California. Hilton has said plainly that crime in California is out of control and that a lack of consequences has demoralized police officers and residents alike. He is calling for a tougher approach to crime and stronger support for law enforcement. On homelessness, he would enforce the law against street encampments while expanding mental health and addiction treatment, so people actually get help instead of being left on the sidewalk. CALIFORNIA DEM, FORMER LA MAYOR VILLARAIGOSA ADMITS TRUMP'S NOT TO BLAME FOR STATE’S HOMELESSNESS, COST CRISES And he has earned the endorsement of Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig, the architect of Proposition 36, the tough-on-crime measure that nearly 70% of California voters passed to restore consequences for repeat theft and drug crimes. Sacramento has looked the other way on this for years. Hilton won't. California's problems aren't red or blue. When you're paying six bucks a gallon, nobody's asking whether you're a Democrat or a Republican. Same goes for a young family priced out of a starter home, or a small business owner who gave up on Sacramento's rules. STEVE HILTON BLASTS DEMOCRATS FOR MAKING CALIFORNIA UNAFFORDABLE AFTER 16 YEARS OF UNCHECKED POWER Hilton understands this better than most because of where he comes from. His parents fled communism in Hungary. He knows what it looks like when government grows so large that it stops serving the people and starts ruling them. That perspective is exactly what California needs after a decade and a half of Sacramento telling people what to drive, what they're allowed to build and how much more they'll have to pay for it. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION California has elected Republican governors before, from Ronald Reagan to Arnold Schwarzenegger, when voters were ready for a change. The polls say Hilton is the underdog. But I've seen enough elections to know the polls don't vote. People do. I left California in 2020 because I didn't believe officials would ever change course. Steve Hilton has given me a reason to believe the Golden State can shine again. On Tuesday, Nov. 3, Californians have a real choice. I hope they make it count.

"The murder of a child is a pain no parent should have to endure, let alone from thousands of miles away," Mamdani wrote Saturday on X. "Javits Frimpong’s mother deserves to say goodbye to her son in person. I just got off the phone with President Trump and he has agreed to grant her visa immediately." Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment. TRUMP LEAVES STAGE MID-SPEECH TO EMBRACE PARENTS OF 12-YEAR-OLD KILLED BY STRAY BULLET IN THE BRONX Javits Frimpong, 15, was heading to school in a Bronx neighborhood shortly before 9:30 a.m. on Thursday when he was shot in the abdomen, according to New York City Police. He was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead No arrests have been made in connection with the shooting. The incident remains under investigation. "All of New York City is mourning this tragedy," the mayor said. Frimpong arrived in the Bronx from Ghana a year ago to stay with his father and begin a new life in the U.S., according to U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y. TRUMP, MAMDANI SET TO MEET AGAIN ON MAYOR’S HOME TURF AFTER MONTHS OF POLITICAL WHIPLASH "Our entire borough is mourning a young man who should have had his whole future ahead of him," Torres said. "Every child in the Bronx deserves to walk to school without fearing for their life, and no parent should ever have to endure what Javits’s father, Thomas, is enduring now." Thomas Frimpong described his son as a quiet teenager. He told reporters that learned just days before the shooting that his son was being bullied at school. "It was the principal who told me," Thomas Frimpong said. "He said two guys are disturbing my son so he has suspended the two guys. My son is at school. He’s innocent, so I call him. I talk with my son, he said 'dad, I’m okay.'" Ghanaian Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa said on X that Ghanaian officials in New York are coordinating with local authorities, adding that the foreign ministry "will work tirelessly with U.S. authorities to ensure justice is secured." He also said he welcomes Mamdani's intervention and Trump’s "timely decision" to grant a visa to the victim's mother. "Madam Doris Adu Gyamfi’s pain as a loving mother is unimaginable and indeed everything must be done to ensure she is present to pay her respects," the foreign minister said. The Ghanaian government "will take care of the full cost of Madam Adu Gyamfi’s travels and also stands ready to contribute towards a dignifying funeral," he added.

Police arrested Zarian Ray Dyer, 23, on Thursday while he was at work. Dyer faces charges of aggravated assault, sexual abuse, attempted sexual assault, kidnapping, and conspiracy.  The Buckeye Police Department issued a statement following Dyer’s arrest explaining that Dyer arranged to have Adrian Nicholas Ayala, a 20-year-old resident of Goodyear, come to their home to sexually assault Bella Torres, his fiancée and the mother of his two children, a 17-month-old daughter and 2-month-old son. Ayala faces felony charges of kidnapping, sexual abuse, aggravated assault, and burglary.  Buckeye police explained they discovered Dyer’s plot after seizing Dyer and Alaya’s respective electronic devices.  “In reviewing data from those devices, investigators found evidence that Ayala and Dyer were communicating about the planned assault. The motive behind the plot is unknown at this time,” stated the department.  Detectives have arrested the fiancé of a Buckeye mom who was assaulted by a home intruder earlier this month. This assault was part of a plot between the victim’s fiancé and a Goodyear man he met online. More info: https://t.co/qZSi0jaeN2 pic.twitter.com/DwCpfpBiud — Buckeye Police Department (@BuckeyeAZPD) October 29, 2026 On Friday, Oct. 16, Torres was home alone preparing her two children for a trunk or treat event when Ayala came to their front door and triggered the house alarm. Dyer had left shortly before Ayala’s arrival to get groceries, according to court records. According to Torres, Ayala asked to come inside and use her restroom. Torres attempted to close the door on Ayala, but he charged at her and began choking her.  Torres said that Ayala tackled her to the ground and groped her, kicked her daughter, and demanded that she remove her clothing. Torres managed to escape from Ayala’s grasp and run to the open front door, screaming for help.  Surveillance footage from Torres’ home depicts her fighting off Ayala in her driveway. Ayala repeated that he was “on drugs” and insisted that Dyer, whom he referred to as her “boyfriend,” had sent him to her house.  “Your boyfriend sent me,” said Ayala. “He told me you were into this.” Surveillance footage showed Ayala fleeing after Dyer returned home. Police arrested Ayala the day after the attack. According to court records, a relative of Ayala’s recognized him from a video of the incident posted to social media.  Ayala later claimed that he and Dyer had agreed to the encounter on Reddit, and his attorney claimed that Dyer invited him over as part of a roleplay scenario.  “This is a giant misunderstanding,” said Ayala’s attorney. “He understood from the victim’s boyfriend that this is something that they did and the victim was consenting to [it].” The judge rejected the justification for the incident offered by Ayala and his attorney.    “I don’t care if her husband [sic] said he could go in there and do that. That’s not a defense,” said the judge. “That’s problematic.” Records reflect that Dyer is the owner of Zenith Home Intelligence, a security system provider that was registered by Dyer and Torres with the Arizona Corporation Commission last December.

The Arizona Department of Agriculture (AZDA) announced on Wednesday that the first case of the parasite was discovered in a dog in Cochise County.  New World screwworms are flies that feed on the living tissue of warm-blooded animals. These flies lay their eggs in open wounds and cavities such as the eyes, ears, nose, genitals, or mouth. The eggs hatch into parasitic maggots that burrow into and feed on the flesh. AZDA reported that a local veterinarian discovered the screwworm during an examination of the animal on Monday, Oct. 26. The canine had a wound on its back that was heavily infested with maggots exhibiting New World screwworm traits.  Further testing through AZDA and federal partners confirmed the presence of the New World screwworm. The dog was under veterinary care as of the press release. AZDA stated that it is working with the treating veterinarian and the dog’s owner to gather additional information in order to determine necessary next steps for epidemiologic investigation and local response. Ryan Wolker, AZDA state veterinarian, said the agency has been ready to address the eventual discovery of the New World screwworm in Arizona. Wolker expressed confidence in the state’s ability to identify and contain the parasite to prevent rapid spread.  “We have been preparing for this possibility for a long while and are acting swiftly,” said Wolker. “Because of the extensive outreach, coordination, and surveillance already in place, Arizona producers, veterinarians, and pet owners know what to look for and how to report suspected cases. That preparation is allowing us to move quickly to protect animal health in the state.” These proactive measures reportedly included communications with livestock owners, pet owners, tribal partners, industry stakeholders, and animal health professionals about New World screwworm detections in the Southwestern states. Additionally, AZDA and the University of Arizona’s Arizona Livestock Incident Response Team have conducted dozens of educational events, including tabletop exercises, industry workshops, and train-the-trainer sessions. In late July, the Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced plans for a new sterile fly dispersal facility at the Douglas Port of Entry, funded with a $25 million investment. The facility would assist the USDA in combatting the spread of the New World screwworm.  Rep. Andy Biggs (AZ-05), Republican nominee for governor, secured the establishment of the new facility. That facility has not yet opened; officials aim to complete it by the end of the year.  As of Thursday, USDA reported 74 total confirmed cases of New World screwworm in animals. 73 of those cases involved domesticated animals, and one involved a wild or feral animal. Apart from the first case in the southeastern corner of Arizona, cases have been confirmed across the southern borders of New Mexico and Texas.   AZDA is asking the public to be vigilant and observant with animals in their care or custody as well as wildlife. Signs of New World screwworm infestation include visible maggots in wounds or body openings; open, draining, or enlarging wounds; foul-smelling injuries; and animals that appear weak, lethargic, isolated, or in distress.  Unusual wounds in domesticated animals that appear to be infested with maggots consistent with New World screwworm should be reported immediately to diseasereporting@azda.gov or by calling AZDA at 602-542-4293 during business hours 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.  Signs of New World screwworm in wildlife should be reported immediately, along with GPS coordinates of the animal’s approximate location, to the Arizona Game and Fish Department at 623-236-7201.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae839a7726b22deeb697a6f Montenegro Appoints Goodyear Councilwoman To Municipal Tax Code Commission te 2026-11-02T07:20:07.510Z Montenegro Appoints Goodyear Councilwoman To Municipal Tax Code Commission By Ethan Faverino | Arizona House Speaker Steve Montenegro (R-LD29) announced the appointment of Goodyear Councilwoman Vicki Gillis to the Arizona Municipal Tax Code Commission following a state audit that raised concerns over transparency, accountability, and the delegation of statutory responsibilities. The announcement follows an August 2026 sunset review by the Arizona Auditor General, which identified concerns regarding the Commission’s procedures for reviewing proposed amendments to the Model City Tax Code. According to the Auditor General’s report, the Commission delegated responsibility for reviewing proposed tax code amendments to the City Tax Administrators Council (CTAC), an entity not formally recognized under state statute and not required to comply with Arizona’s open meeting laws. The report found that the arrangement limited public transparency and recommended clarifying the Commission’s statutory authority. It also recommended that lawmakers consider requiring informational public hearings for all proposed amendments. The report also found that the Commission went more than six years without holding a public hearing to consider proposed Model City Tax Code amendments. Under state law, the Commission is responsible for reviewing proposed amendments, holding public hearings, and approving or denying proposed changes. According to the Auditor General, the Commission held its first such hearing since May 2019 on December 12, 2025, when it approved five amendments involving rental properties, telecommunications services, software application services for schools, utility equipment and property, and rental occupancy tax classifications. “The Legislature established this Commission to promote uniformity and consistency in municipal taxation while providing a transparent process for reviewing proposed changes,” said Speaker Montenegro. “Arizonans deserve to know when changes to the tax code are being considered, who is proposing them, and how those changes could affect their families and businesses.” The Arizona Municipal Tax Code Commission is responsible for reviewing proposed amendments to the Model City Tax Code, conducting public hearings, and approving or rejecting proposed changes. The Model City Tax Code establishes a framework for municipal transaction privilege taxes, commonly referred to as sales taxes, across Arizona cities and towns. Amendments to the code can affect how municipalities administer and collect taxes, as well as the obligations of businesses operating within their jurisdictions. Montenegro emphasized that the Commission must fulfill its responsibilities under state law rather than delegate its authority to organizations operating outside established public transparency requirements. “Statutory responsibilities cannot simply be delegated to an entity that operates outside the transparency requirements the public expects of government,” added Montenegro. The Speaker also expressed concerns about the potential financial impact of changes to municipal tax policies, particularly as Arizona families and businesses continue to face cost-of-living pressures. “Arizona families are working hard to manage the cost of living, and government should not create additional uncertainty or costs through administrative expansions of the sales tax,” said Montenegro. ✅Speaker Montenegro Appoints Goodyear Councilwoman Vicki Gillis to Municipal Tax Code Commission Appointment follows Auditor General findings raising concerns about transparency and accountability “Arizona families are working hard to manage the cost of living, and government… pic.twitter.com/CEouDKxOV3 — Arizona House Republicans (@AZHouseGOP) October 30, 2026 Montenegro said Gillis’s appointment is intended to reinforce accountability and ensure that proposed tax code changes receive appropriate public scrutiny. He also called for a consistent and predictable review process that allows municipalities, businesses, and taxpayers to understand proposed changes and their potential financial implications. “The Commission must follow state law, restore public confidence in its process, and ensure that any proposed changes receive the scrutiny and transparency required by statute,” Montenegro said. “I expect this appointment to help reinforce those principles and keep the interests of Arizona taxpayers at the forefront.” The appointment follows the Auditor General’s findings and recommendations calling for greater transparency and clarification of the Commission’s statutory responsibilities.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae8329b726b22deeb69796e ‘Vote by mule’: Havasupai village gets their ballots delivered in unique way te 2026-11-02T06:50:03.422Z ‘Vote by mule’: Havasupai village gets their ballots delivered in unique way Key Points: Tribal villages at the bottom of the Grand Canyon still receive their ballots via mule delivery Coconino County uses the practice to build connections and increase voter turnout Bipartisan riders ensure votes are brought back to the rim with integrity Election officials in Coconino County are saddling up for a uniquely Western way of voting: using mule and horse trains to bring out the ballots from a tribal village at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. There’s nothing like it in the U.S. Even at Phantom Ranch, in the depths of Grand Canyon National Park, park staffers must mail in their ballots or hike up to the South Rim to cast their votes. But the mule trains continue just to the west of the park. County elections officials see it as a way to honor tribal practices and strengthen ties with voters. “It’s more organic,” Eslir Musta, elections director for Coconino County, said of using mules rather than motors to bring up the ballots. The practice has been the standard in recent years and is a great way to build rapport with the locals, he said. “And it helps the local economy with the mules,” Musta said. The county hires mules and wranglers from the tourism office of the Havasupai Tribe — the same people who outfit the hikers who flock to Havasu Canyon’s blue-green waters and cascading waterfalls. With packs clearly marked “Coconino County Elections,” the mule train is a great marketing strategy as the crew wends its way down the canyon and over to Supai, the tribal headquarters and only village in the canyon. On Monday, two election office staffers will accompany the wranglers and the pack mules riding down the eight-mile trail on horseback. In line with election guidelines, the staffers are from differing parties and work in tandem to ensure bipartisan oversight. It’s unclear if the mules — which are half donkey — are held to the same bipartisan standard. A unique experience Katherine Morgan is in her third cycle riding mules to administer elections in Supai village. She was working as a volunteer when Musta approached her for the coveted duty. She didn’t hesitate. “Absolutely not,” Morgan said, adding it was a chance to see the much-heralded canyon. “I’d never been down there,” she said. “I’d just heard about how beautiful it was.” The three-day assignment is busy, but fun in its own saddle-sore way. Morgan said she knew how to ride when she took the job. But this summer, she took lessons to improve her performance on the rocky trail. It paid off when she rode out with the ballots after the July primary election. Her soreness was “not that bad,” she said. The trip down on the trail takes about 2½ to 3 hours, and another two hours for the trip back up to the canyon rim at Hilltop. There is no express trail for the election crew, but tribal officials ensure passage is smooth. “The trails are very wide,” Morgan said, unlike the narrower Bright Angel Trail at the national park. Hikers stand aside to let the horse and mule train through. Election materials are packed onto the mules, from poll books and ballots, to accessible voting equipment and a Starlink internet router. “It’s a pretty sizable suitcase that goes down,” Musta said, noting it includes a touchscreen for voters with disabilities. So far in the recent history of mule trains, nothing has toppled off the mules and into the canyon, Musta said. But just in case, there are backup supplies, he added. Ballots make way up canyon After the Supai poll (the only one in the canyon) closes on Tuesday, the staffers complete their duties, pack up the materials and spend a second night in the lodge. They pack out early Wednesday morning, and transfer the gear to vehicles at the top of the canyon. The ballots arrive at county elections headquarters by noon, if not earlier. Musta is hopeful the practice will increase voter participation in the tiny precinct, which counts 155 registered voters. Turnout is highest during presidential elections, at 30%-40%, he said. Although some tribal residents vote by mail — which also is packed out by mule — a majority prefers to cast ballots in person. The county has used other methods of bringing out the ballots; for the July primary election, they used a helicopter to get election equipment to Supai, but opted for a mule train for the return trip. The county has also relied on long-distance runners, as long as they are of opposing political parties. “We had people who were trailrunners who loved to do it for extra exercise,” Musta said, adding they’d strap on backpacks to carry the equipment. Unlike anywhere else The mule train is seemingly unique to Arizona. But it is just one example of ballot delivery in areas where there are no roads, said Tammy Patrick, chief program officer at the National Association of Election Officials. Other jurisdictions have relied on helicopters, ferries and snowmobiles, Patrick said. “It’s driven by geography and topography,” she said of various ballot delivery practices. In Alaska, for example, there are 219 remote villages that have no roads connecting them to county elections offices. So ballots are transported by bush pilots. In other cases, depending on the weather, snowmobiles do the job, Patrick said. Even very urban Los Angeles County has turned to helicopters to bring back the ballots from remote areas, she said. But Coconino County, with its mule train plying the colorful gorge of the Grand Canyon, is unto itself, she said. “People love to talk about it because it’s such an anomaly,” Patrick said.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae82deb726b22deeb6978cb DPS video promotes Hobbs’ role creating immigration task force days before election te 2026-11-02T06:30:03.827Z DPS video promotes Hobbs’ role creating immigration task force days before election Key Points: Gov. Katie Hobbs formed Operation Desert Guardian in 2025 to streamline state and local law enforcement on immigration enforcement The Arizona Department of Public Safety released a video promoting the task force less than a week before voters decide on Hobbs’ reelection DPS claims the video was meant to inform the public about the task force without an eye on influencing voters Less than a week before the election, the Department of Public Safety released a video extolling the benefits of Gov. Katie Hobbs’ Operation Desert Guardian. And Hobbs, who signed the executive order creating the immigration task force to link DPS and the state Department of Homeland Security with local law enforcement in 2025, is featured in the 8½ minute video — much of it containing original footage shot by DPS employees — no less than nine times. The entire video was posted Wednesday on DPS’ site on the social media website X. And links to it were sent that same day to every media outlet around the state. It also comes as the Democratic governor, seeking reelection against Republican Andy Biggs, has been criticized by Republicans for not doing enough to secure the border against illegal immigration and the flow of drugs. They cite her decision to dismantle the Border Security Strike Force that had been established by Doug Ducey, her predecessor, and her vetoes of several border-related bills approved by the Republican-controlled Legislature. DPS spokesman Bart Graves said the decision to make a video was made in June. And he said there was a conscious decision to include Hobbs. “The governor’s office was informed of plans to produce the video, including our intention to feature Gov. Hobbs,” he said, noting the governor’s office “did not direct or determine the video’s content or release timing.” So why five days before the election? “We wanted to be consistent in making these stats public before the end of our data reporting period,” he said of the data about arrests and drug seizures in both the press release and the video. But there is no annual report due now. In fact, the last report on Operation Desert Guardian was a six-month update announced by the governor at a press conference on Sept. 5, 2025. There was no similar report at the end of the first full year. The video begins with an explanation of Task Force SAFE, the governor’s 2024 decision to have National Guard soldiers assist Customs and Border Protection officers at ports of entry. She is seen shaking hands with several Guard members and getting a briefing. That deployment, however, is nothing new. Janet Napolitano had issued a similar order when she was governor in 2006. And, more recently, Ducey put Guard soldiers on the border during the first Trump administration and later after the 2020 election of Joe Biden. But the main focus of the video is to detail what it says repeatedly is the success of Operation Desert Guardian. A press release also issued Wednesday claims the operation is responsible for more than 2,900 arrests and the seizure of more than 8,900 pounds of illegal drugs with a street value of more than $19 million. And it specifically mentioned the seizure of about 1.2 million fentanyl pills. There’s also a message from DPS Director Jeffrey Glover thanking Hobbs, who appointed him, “for her continued support and investment in this initiative.” The video, however, is far more detailed — and includes more of the governor. It includes some TV news footage, but the heart of the production actually was shot this year by DPS videographers. And it features in several places the governor — sporting an Operation Desert Guardian T-shirt and wearing a wireless microphone for the production — conferring in what appear to be opportunities set up specifically for the video. For example, there’s one with Hobbs along with Glover, Coconino County Sheriff Bret Axlund and a narcotics officer whose face is blurred, standing near railroad tracks with a train passing by. The sheriff explains later in the video how criminals are now using the rail system to transport drugs. Then there’s another video of Hobbs with Axlund in the back seat of a car, where, still in that T-shirt, explaining to him her thoughts behind the program. “There is a perception that border crimes happens at the border,” the governor tells Axlund. “But we know it’s all over,” she is taped as saying. “Being able to have those resources around the state and capitalize on all of the expertise around the state is really critical.” There also are several clips of Hobbs, wearing that same shirt, addressing a group of law enforcement officers at what Graves said was a summit held earlier this summer. Graves said there was no additional cost to DPS to produce the video. It was filmed and produced using existing communications personnel and resources ‘within their established operating budgets,” he said. The audience for all this, Graves said, was “the general public,” with distribution “by way of the news media.” And there is the more generally available post on X. Christian Slater, the governor’s press aide, declined to comment about the production of the video featuring his boss using public resources and, more to the point, the timing of its release. Hobbs has sought to portray an image of someone concerned about border security in a nonpartisan way, even lashing out at times at the Biden administration over its lax enforcement. But the governor also vetoed a series of border-related bills approved by the Republican-controlled Legislature since she took office. One would have prohibited state and local officials and agencies from adopting or enforcing any policy or practice that prohibits cooperation with federal immigration authorities. In her veto message last year, Hobbs said she has “worked productively with the federal government to secure our border.” And she specifically mentioned Operation Desert Guardian, which had been formed just two months before. “But we should not force state and local officials to take marching orders from Washington, D.C.,” Hobbs wrote. She penned similar veto messages for bills that would require state and local officials to enforce and cooperate with federal immigration laws, county detention facilities to share inmate information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, hospitals to share patients’ immigration status, and border crossings to only happen at ports of entry.

Susan Collins on Sunday blasted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Party over what she described as a wave of false attack ads targeting her and other Republican candidates, saying she has never seen a campaign with "so many outright lies." She made the remarks during an interview with Fox News on Sunday, just two days before Election Day in Maine, where she is seeking reelection in a closely watched race against Democratic rival Troy Jackson. According to the latest Fox News poll, the two candidates are tied at 49%. Collins accused Democrats of following "Chuck Schumer's playbook," pointing to attack ads she said were nearly identical to those targeting other Republican lawmakers. MANCHIN CALLS SCHUMER 'CRAZY' FOR TRYING TO OUST GOP SENATOR IN CRUCIAL SENATE SHOWDOWN "One of the outrageous, completely false ads against me had to do with Jeffrey Epstein. And it turns out, in talking to two of my colleagues who are in tough races, that they had virtually identical ads run against them. So this is part of Chuck Schumer's playbook," she said. "There are a lot of differences between my opponent and me, but I've never seen a campaign with so many outright lies. It's very frustrating," she added. Collins further accused Democrats of trying to shift the focus away from local issues and toward divisive national political battles. "It's certainly an attempt by my opponent and Chuck Schumer and their allies to nationalize this race," she said. SENATE CONTROL IS A COIN FLIP — AND DEMOCRATS’ PATH RUNS THROUGH TRUMP COUNTRY Turning to her own campaign, Collins portrayed herself as a bipartisan lawmaker willing to work across party lines, arguing that the Senate needs more centrists as moderates increasingly leave Washington. "Unfortunately, a lot of them have given up and retired or decided they just didn't want to run again. And that's one reason I am running again," she said. "We need more people who are willing to work across party lines. That is really important," she said. FOX NEWS POLL: NAIL-BITER IN MAINE SENATE RACE She also described herself as the "most independent senator on either side of the aisle," pointing to her voting record and saying her decisions are based on what she believes is right, rather than who occupies the White House or what President Donald Trump supports. "There's this phony figure out there that I voted with President Trump 95% of the time. That's based on a sample of only 30% of the votes. If you look at a broader sample of 90% of the vote, that drops significantly to like 72%. And I voted against the president's policies 138 times," she said. While Jackson previously told Fox News that he believes he has a "good shot" at defeating Collins, the longtime Republican senator touted strong voter support and said she is more optimistic than ever about her reelection chances. "I'm feeling very optimistic based on the great response I get in visiting communities all over the state," she said.

Kylie, they said, was found with a 39-year-old man in Oregon. The man was taken into custody without incident. "The FBI and the Rich County Sheriff’s Office have been actively investigating this case for more than a year and pursuing every lead received from across the U.S. and in other countries. FBI NABS MORE THAN 350 ALLEGED CHILD SEX ABUSE OFFENDERS "As this case is ongoing, no further information will be released at this time," the FBI's Salt Lake City field office said in a statement on Sunday. Federal authorities also credited the Oregon State Police, the FBI's Portland field office and the Utah Department of Public Safety for their assistance in the operation. "Tonight, local police in Oregon brought a minor who had been missing for a year and a half to safety, acting on information provided by our FBI Salt Lake City Field Office," FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News Digital. "We are grateful she can return home, and we will continue working with our partners to hold those responsible accountable," Patel added.

"We are using every tool at our disposal to combat nihilistic violent extremism, bring offenders to justice and protect America’s children." According to a law enforcement source, the suspect allegedly met the teenager on Snapchat before her disappearance. Last year, Rich County Sheriff Dale Stacey said detectives had chased reports of sightings across multiple states and urged the public to preserve any photographic or timestamped evidence. TWO MISSING CHILDREN RESCUED FROM TRAILER AS POLICE ARREST BABYSITTER ON KIDNAPPING CHARGES New details about the investigation had also emerged days before Kylie was found. Unsealed search warrants reviewed by KUTV on Oct. 29 showed that investigators had previously scrutinized Kylie's mother, Stephanie Coleman, and questioned her about a 2024 allegation of physical abuse. There were also questions about discrepancies involving missing text messages from the night Kylie vanished and suspicious marks in the home. Coleman had denied having any role in her daughter's disappearance or abusing her, providing timestamped "good night" text messages from May 29, 2025. She said the marks were caused by an injured cat and maintained that Kylie had likely been groomed and lured away by someone she encountered online, the outlet reported.

In a recent post on X, the 47-year-old actor reflected on his beginnings: "Before Hollywood, I was living in a van in Hawaii and waiting tables at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company," revealing that a chance encounter working one night changed his life. "One day, the incredible Rae Dawn Chong walked into the restaurant, and naturally, I went up to her table and said, 'Hey, you’re a movie star! What are you doing here?'" he recalled. "She asked if I could act, and I said, 'F- - - yeah, put me in your movie!'" Since he didn't have a phone, he gave Chong his friend Mike's number, who told him a few days later that someone had called for him. NICKI MINAJ, ANNA NICOLE SMITH AND MORE STARS WHO GOT THEIR START WAITING TABLES AT RED LOBSTER "I called her back, and sure enough, she was serious," he wrote. "I drove over to pick up the script, went back to Mike’s house, and read all 120 pages three times in a row. First script I’d ever read. My character's name was Devon, and I remember thinking, 'Sweet! I could totally play a Devon!' After the audition, he recalled Chung telling him he "could act and offered me the part." While he lived in Hawaii, the movie was filming in Los Angeles, which made Pratt a little nervous, as he had "about $60 to my name, a bag of clothes, and some rollerblades." He then found out that Chung would fly him out to Los Angeles for production. "I remember thinking right then and there, my life just changed forever. I'm going to be an actor," he wrote. "That little movie was 'Cursed Part 3,' a low-budget horror comedy that opened the door to Hollywood for me. I'll forever be grateful to Rae for taking a chance on a kid working at a shrimp restaurant. Everybody starts somewhere, and this is where it all began for me."

When speaking to Moviefone in May 2023, Pratt shared he is "grateful" for "Guardians of the Galaxy" director James Gunn for casting him as the lead in the movie, saying, "He's changed my life" and the life of his children. "He found a working actor who had already at that point done way better than most people who come out to town. I wasn't a waiter any longer, I was a series regular on a show. I was getting recognition," he said. "He brought me to a whole new level that ultimately changed the entire way the industry saw me. I no longer was auditioning.

The Cougars have benefited from a very fortunate run of officiating in recent weeks. At home against the then-No. 2 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish, BYU pulled off a stunning upset. Thanks in small part to yet another controversial literal last second clock call this college football season. Quarterback Bear Bachmeier found tight end Walker Lyons with 1:47 remaining in the fourth quarter to give the Cougars a 28-24 lead, putting Notre Dame's winning streak in jeopardy. The Irish drove down the field, converting a six-yard pass on fourth-and-5 to give themselves one last shot at the end zone from the 8-yard line with four seconds left. C.J. Carr's pass fell incomplete, and fans stormed the field. BIG 12 CONFERENCE ADDRESSES OFFENSIVE CHANTS FROM UCF FANS DIRECTED AT BYU DURING UPSET WIN Except, eagle-eyed viewers noticed that the stadium game clock clearly read 0:01 as the ball hit the turf. And the Big 12 Conference acknowledged they were right, and that Notre Dame should have had time for one last play. "Following the Big 12's review of the final play of Saturday's Notre Dame-BYU game, it was determined that time remained on the clock when the ball hit the ground and the play was incorrectly cleared by the replay officiating crew," they explained in a statement. "The Conference will conduct a complete review of its end-of-game officiating process in advance of next week's games." Yes, BYU may still have stopped the Irish and won the game anyway, but it was a clear officiating mistake that benefited the Cougars. It happened again the next week. On the road at UCF, BYU found themselves locked in a tight game late in the fourth quarter against what should have been an overmatched opponent. With the game tied 24-24 and 11 seconds left, the Knights set up for a field goal attempt on third down. Kicker Will Stone's attempted was blocked without crossing the line of scrimmage, and Stone recovered it himself. SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER As he was tackled, his helmet came off, with the officials throwing a flag for a BYU facemask. Which they promptly picked up. Not only that, they then incorrectly applied a 10-second runoff for the helmet coming off. As rules analysts explained, that runoff is only required when the helmet coming off is the reason for the clock stoppage. But the clock also stopped because of a "legal kick down," per Terry McAulay, meaning that the runoff should not have been applied. Instead of UCF having another opportunity at a game-winning field goal, the game went to overtime. That said, the Cougars did wind up losing in double overtime anyway, thanks in part to some less-than-beneficial officiating. As Stone made a field goal to go up 34-31, BYU's Kendall Wall was flagged for roughing the kicker. Instead of the Cougars needing just a field goal to tie the score, UCF converted the ensuing first-and-goal for a touchdown, making the two-point conversion as well. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE BYU had four tries from the four-yard-line, but came up empty, and the Knights pulled off the upset. Still, there's a case to be made that the game may never have reached overtime in the first place, had the rules been correctly applied. Well, fast-forward to BYU-Arizona State on Halloween, and it happened again. Though at least this mistake wasn't in the closing seconds of the game. In the first quarter in Provo, Bachmeier tried to run the ball in for a touchdown from the one-yard line, but fumbled immediately after the snap. Sione Moa jumped on it, advancing it into the end zone for a touchdown. Replay review confirmed that Bachmeier had indeed fumbled, and separately confirmed that Moa had scored. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! But the review team should never have allowed the touchdown to stand, because the whistle blew on the play to signal that Bachmeier had been ruled down. Once that happened, the ball could not be advanced after a fumble. Inexplicably though, they awarded the Cougars a TD anyway. And now the Big 12 Conference has been forced to issue yet another statement that the officiating crew had made a mistake. "Replay was incorrect in awarding a score," the statement read. "The correct ruling should have been BYU ball for a third-and-goal from the 2-yard line." Sure, the Cougars may have punched it in from the two, but you never know in college football, and the call handed them a touchdown that should not have happened. Understandably, ASU head coach Kenny Dillingham was furious with the officiating crew at the time, and after the game. "I was trying to argue that he does have the right to recover it post-whistle, but that's not a clear advancement, which means the ball should be at the three," he said. "Obviously, that wasn't what happened. It's not the officials' fault. Those officials don't have say in that. That's all back home." There's little doubt that these mistakes are simply that, mistakes, and not some grand conspiracy by the Big 12 Conference to help get BYU to the College Football Playoff. But it's a sign of the seemingly growing officiating problem in college football, and yet another example of the fact that referees can, and often do, impact a game negatively. Some Cougars fans will also be quick to point out any number of calls they believe went against their team. Normally, over the course of a season, these things even out. It's just unfortunate when there are several high-profile mistakes all happening around the same program. BYU has yet another massive game this Saturday, as they travel up the road to play their heated rivals, the Utah Utes, in Salt Lake City. The No. 3 Utah Utes and No. 7 BYU Cougars. Just as everyone expected. And given the tight Big 12 race, with Utah 5-0, BYU 4-1 and Texas Tech 4-1, it could have tremendous implications in determining which teams will play in the conference championship game, as well as a spot in the playoff. Hopefully we're not talking about the refs after this one.

Douglas, 82, reflected on his storied career and missed opportunities while discussing his new memoir, "One Helluva Ride."

PARIS JACKSON SAYS DAD MICHAEL’S UNUSUAL RULE HELPED PROTECT HER CHILDHOOD Last week, Crystal Hefner exposed secrets about the Playboy Mansion and its star-studded roster of attendees. Hefner, 40, name-dropped one Hollywood heavy-hitter who was known for his frequent trips to the Holmby Hills home during an episode of her "After the Mansion" podcast. "I think a lot of celebrities came because they were just curious, and others used it as their personal country club," she said. "They used to call it Jack Nicholson’s drive-thru at one point because he would drive up, grab some food or whatever else he could get there and leave." Nicholson's daughter, Lorraine, once shared her own experiences at the famous mansion where she spent her childhood playing with Hef's sons, Marston and Cooper. "People assume that my father took me to the Mansion, but they assume wrong," she wrote in a 2024 essay for Vanity Fair. "In fact, I can venture with confidence that I spent more time there than my father ever did." Lorraine wrote about growing up as the daughter of somewhat controversial parents, and noted that her friend's parents were "not so keen on letting their children come over to Jack Nicholson's house." "For the Hefners, I imagine it was nice to know that my father would never be like the other fathers, lingering a little too long after their children were dropped off, marveling, open-mouthed and fully clothed, at the way the refracted light danced on the roof of the grotto," Lorraine wrote.

Crystal wanted the media mogul to "still feel like he was respected and revered all the way until the very end." "The entire mansion existed to cater to Hef's needs, women included," she said. "He would cry during the romantic scenes of the old films and just look over at me to help him. Or maybe it was a performance to encourage me to believe his feelings were real."

That is the underlying point of a statement released Sunday afternoon by attorneys David Z. Chesnoff, Richard A. Schonfeld and Clarence F. Duchac III to the media, including OutKick and Fox News Digital. "The three accounts are old, are hearsay, and easily disproven, yet released to the media by police without any investigation to determine whether they were accurate or contradicted by evidence," the statement reads. "Josh is answering them in detail because of the character assassination that is occurring, unfairly threatening his career." NFL LIFTS ABUSE SUSPENSIONS ON GREEN BAY'S JOSH JACOBS AND DENVER'S JONATHON COOPER AS INVESTIGATIONS CONTINUE The NFL said in a statement Saturday that it is reviewing the previously unreported allegations that Jacobs physically abused multiple women whose existence came to light amid the investigation into the May 23 incident that was well-chronicled. The NFL was already investigating Jacobs for that May 23 incident in which Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor criminal damage to property connected to a domestic incident with an ex-girlfriend in Green Bay. Jacobs was convicted of the battery charge in September and spent six games on the commissioner’s exempt list this season. He has returned to the Packers, but the team has been among those keeping in contact with the Indianapolis Colts about trading for running back Jonathan Taylor. The Packers would not be interested in Taylor if they expected to keep Jacobs. PACKERS' INTEREST IN JONATHAN TAYLOR SHOWS DESIRE TO MOVE ON FROM JOSH JACOBS AND HIS DOMESTIC ABUSE ISSUES Understanding this, the statement takes aim at the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department's case file release to the media. "The file includes summaries of three telephone interviews describing events in 2021 and 2022," the statement from Jacobs' attorneys said. "Josh Jacobs denies all three accounts and has a substantial body of tangible evidence to back up his assertions. "The police department’s released file contains only phone interviews, taken years after the fact, with no additional investigation, save for an acknowledgment that Josh did nothing wrong. Josh was not given an opportunity to present evidence to Hobart-Lawrence in response to the uncorroborated report, primarily because Hobart-Lawrence took no action related to the unsupported and stale allegations." And then the details, according to the Jacobs side: "One of these three women made a claim to the NFL, which reviewed it and decided no action was warranted. Josh has kept evidence that supports his accounts and the NFL’s decision. Nothing in the released file indicates that any such evidence was used or even sought. Indeed, the police report did not even present any of this information. "Another woman made a claim in 2021, but only after Josh called the Las Vegas police to his home to report the woman for misconduct. A police report was written that day, which effectively undermined her claims. No further action was taken by any authority after she was removed from Josh’s home." The police file, per NBC26 in Wisconsin, claims a third woman told the police that Jacobs slapped her in the face, threw her onto a bed, threw her to the floor, spit on her and grabbed her throat in January 2022. THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW! "Josh denies any physical altercation with the third woman," the statement from Jacobs' attorneys said. "She first contacted Josh and asked to visit. She came to Las Vegas and stayed at his home. Another person was present in the house during part of her stay. She stayed there overnight and left the following evening — on her own, in a car she ordered herself. The receipt for that ride is in the police file the department released, and it is consistent with Josh’s account of how the visit ended, not hers." It's clear the Jacobs camp understands the stakes: Their client's enduring status in the NFL. And they want to remind everyone that charges that resulted in a trial are the only history that should matter. "Josh took responsibility for what happened in May," the attorneys said. "He entered into an agreement with prosecutors for two misdemeanors, and he is meeting the court’s requirements."

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae7dbe4726b22deeb696662 Iranian ‘ghost fleet’ filmed evading US blockade en route to China, UANI says te 2026-11-02T00:40:04.864Z Iranian ‘ghost fleet’ filmed evading US blockade en route to China, UANI says Small Iranian "ghost fleet" tankers are slipping past the U.S. naval blockade and smuggling sanctioned liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to China through a shadowy maritime hub off Malaysia, according to U.S. investigators who covertly filmed one of the vessels en route in September. United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), which conducted the months-long probe, said at least nine similar tankers carrying Iranian oil or LPG have also evaded U.S. restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz since Washington reinstated the Iranian port blockade in July. UANI identified one of the sanctioned tankers as the SOGL. It allegedly escaped the blockade on Sept. 1 carrying approximately 500,000 barrels of Iranian LPG after collecting it at an Iranian port in August. The vessel then traveled thousands of miles to a Malaysian offshore anchorage, where UANI filmed the vessel receiving fuel and other services offshore. The ship then traveled on to China, where the organization said it discharged its Iranian cargo. IRAN’S $800M OIL SMUGGLING SCHEME USES TANKERS POSING AS IRAQI SHIPS TO DODGE BLOCKADE "This tanker had loaded its Iranian LPG from Assaluyeh Port, Iran, in late August. It then breached the U.S. blockade and made its way to a Malaysian anchorage," Jemima Shelley, a senior analyst at UANI, explained. "What this shows us is that some vessels are managing to breach the U.S. maritime blockade," Shelley said of the footage shared exclusively with Fox News Digital. "Most vessels aren't, but since the reinstatement in mid-July, we have seen only nine small tankers being successful in their breach of the U.S. blockade and departing the Gulf of Oman laden with oil or LPG." At the center of the operation is the Malaysian Eastern Outer Port Limits Anchorage, known as the EOPL, an offshore shipping area approximately 70 kilometers from Malaysia’s coastline. The anchorage has become a critical staging ground for Iran’s sanctioned energy trade with China, Shelley said. The area allows vessels to wait offshore, receive supplies and transfer cargo between tankers, providing a logistical lifeline for Iranian energy exports as American naval forces patrol waters closer to Iran. UANI had been monitoring the SOGL before its arrival in Malaysian waters, Shelley explained. US TARGETS CHINESE REFINERY IN SWEEPING IRAN OIL CRACKDOWN, SANCTIONS ‘SHADOW FLEET’ TANKERS "On September 16th, United Against Nuclear Iran chartered a supply vessel and transited 100 nautical miles into the Malaysian Eastern Outer Port Limits Anchorage," Shelley said. "Here we witnessed firsthand the illicit activities of ghost fleet tankers, as well as some Iran-flagged cargo ships that were located in this anchorage, one of them being the SOGL." She described the SOGL as "a Handymax small tanker that was laden with 500,000 barrels of Iranian LPG." The U.S. maritime blockade was first imposed April 13, temporarily lifted in mid-June and reinstated July 14 after diplomatic negotiations collapsed. The operation has largely stopped Iran from exporting crude oil, depriving Tehran of a major source of revenue as the country faces intense economic pressure. "The U.S. blockade is an overwhelming success at preventing vessels laden with Iranian oil and petrochemicals from leaving the Gulf of Oman," Shelley said. She added that since the blockade was reinstated, "no Iranian crude oil has managed to depart and be a successful export for Iran, which is a huge economic pressure for the Iranian regime." "It's just that there are some opportunistic small tankers that are just managing to breach the blockade." The United States, she said, is primarily prioritizing Iranian crude and very large tankers, which often carry "two million barrels of Iranian crude." MORNING GLORY: PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE AMERICAN MILITARY HAVE BEATEN IRAN LPG is a flammable mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily propane and butane, used for heating, cooking, transportation and industrial production. "LPG carries a lot of risks," Shelley said. "The U.S. blockade's first course of action is to try to attempt to turn around these vessels, which is their main technique for enforcing the U.S. blockade." "However, sometimes they do have to use military force and this would be incredibly high risk on far more volatile cargo such as LPG." According to Shelley, the smaller vessels exploit those challenges while using tactics commonly associated with Iran’s ghost fleet. "So what they'll do is they will turn off their AIS. They will often fly a false flag so they're completely stateless vessels," she added. Automatic Identification System, or AIS, transponders broadcast a vessel’s identity, position and movements to other ships and maritime authorities. Switching them off can make a vessel more difficult to track. "Often they will load, and then they will transit the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and then in the Gulf of Oman, they will conduct a ship-to-ship transfer there," Shelley said, describing it as a "very high-risk ship-to-ship transfer because it's LPG, not crude oil." "And then the other tanker that's receiving the LPG will then transit and attempt to breach the blockade." The overall scale remains relatively small compared with Iran’s historical energy exports. US ECONOMIC CHOKEHOLD ON IRAN REACHES PEAK LEVERAGE AS COLLAPSE RISKS EMERGE The SOGL, identified by IMO number 9208227, was added to the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctions list Oct. 8 over its alleged involvement in transporting Iranian petroleum products since 2025. The vessel has operated under multiple flags, including the Comoros and Zimbabwe, and has been linked in sanctions records to Gravion Maritime Co. "Most of these tankers are very emblematic of what ghost fleet tankers do and so are flying false flags, which means they're completely stateless and will have very complicated front companies running them," Shelley said. Meanwhile, the EOPL anchorage in Malaysia — roughly a 10-day-to-two-week journey from Iran — has become an important logistical center for Iranian vessels traveling toward Chinese buyers and a "key node in Iran's oil trade to China," Shelley said. "It is used by ghost fleet tankers, Iran-flagged tankers that will load Iranian crude and then transit eastwards from Iran all the way to this anchorage where they will often conduct ship-to-ship transfers with the final tanker bound for China." "Often this anchorage is also used for floating storage, which is how Iran managed to survive for so long with the U.S. blockade being reinstated in July," Shelley said. She also clarified that since the blockade has been enforced, Iranian floating storage has fallen to "zero to seven million barrels." "So you can see how they have survived from having this offshore anchorage where illicit ghost fleet tankers have been able to wait laden with Iranian products." IRAN’S OIL LIFELINE IS DRYING UP. THE BIGGEST PAIN MAY FALL ON ORDINARY CITIZENS UANI’s video also shows the SOGL sitting low in the water and receiving bunkering services from a smaller tanker off Malaysia, where Shelley said authorities appear to be "looking the other way." "This is a common thing that you will see in this anchorage, because not only is this anchorage used for ship-to-ship transfers, but also these ghost fleet tankers, as well as some cargo ships in this anchorage, require various services, whether that is food, logistics or bunker fuel." China is the dominant destination for Iranian oil and LPG, providing Tehran with a critical economic outlet despite U.S. sanctions and the naval blockade. "For years, China has made up 80% of Iran's liquid cargo exports, and we have seen that only grow since the beginning of the Iran War. Now China is importing almost 100% of Iran's oil and LPG exports." "It has created a system and trade that has allowed Iran to avoid sanctions, U.S. and OPEC sanctions, whilst China is able to buy highly discounted Iranian oil and LPG." IRAN SEIZES SHIPS IN HORMUZ AS US TALKS FALTER AFTER CEASEFIRE EXTENSION "After United Against Nuclear Iran's trip to the EOPL, interestingly, this small LPG tanker SOGL did not conduct a ship-to-ship transfer," Shelley said. "Instead, it transited northbound into the South China Sea, where it finally discharged its Iranian LPG at Xinzhou Port in China." The G Summer, a U.S.-sanctioned LPG carrier with a capacity of approximately 7,000 cubic meters, was also separately tracked transmitting signals from the Arabian Sea beyond the American blockade line in April, according to Bloomberg. The vessel broadcast a message indicating it had an "all Chinese crew" aboard, while shipping analytics identified Iran as its last cargo country and Galle, Sri Lanka, as its reported destination.

Andhra Pradesh, Telangana https://meenews.co/post/6ae7d4df726b22deeb6964c4 'SNL' co-host Michael Che turns Israel voter turnout into 'genocide' punchline on 'Weekend Update' te 2026-11-02T00:10:07.662Z 'SNL' co-host Michael Che turns Israel voter turnout into 'genocide' punchline on 'Weekend Update' On NBC's "Saturday Night Live," "Weekend Update" co-host Michael Che joked about genocide while discussing voter turnout in Israel's elections, referencing voters on the right and left of the country's political spectrum.  "This week, a record number of people voted in Israel’s election, which is great to see regardless of if you’re on the right side, or the left side, or the genocide," Che said. A spokesperson for the Campaign Against Antisemitism acknowledged that the comment was a joke but challenged its premise. "There's always a lot of latitude with comedy, and this joke is hardly an exception," the spokesperson told Fox News Digital. The problem is that it's playing on what has become a widespread but baseless belief that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza." NETANYAHU ALLEGES FRAUD AS ARAB PARTIES SCORE RECORD GAINS — EMERGE AS POTENTIAL KINGMAKERS The organization argued that allegations of genocide against Israel portray Jews as perpetrators of the same crime committed against them during the Holocaust and are "motivated in no small part by a desperation to assuage global guilt for a real genocide against the Jews by casting the Jews as perpetrators of this grave crime themselves."  "It has fueled abuse and violence against Jews worldwide — including terrorism and murder," the spokesperson added.  NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck also criticized the joke, questioning whether viewers understood the meaning of genocide and criticizing the use of the term in discussions about Israel. "We're now at the point where it's a punchline to refer to Israel as a genocidal state," Houck told Fox News Digital. "SNL's ill-informed viewers are unlikely to know the actual meaning of the word, and that it's more applicable to how many Arabs view whether Israel should be allowed to exist."  ANTISEMITIC VIOLENCE ESCALATES AS DEADLY WEAPON ATTACKS SURGE IN 2025: REPORT Houck argued that the segment could instead have highlighted Arab participation in Israel's election to challenge accusations of genocide. "One could have framed it as a dig against the calls of genocide that a country held free and fair elections in which Arabs could vote and did, to the point their parties won 19 seats in the Knesset, but that would have been too large of a bubble to burst for the far-left in America," Houck said. "Simply put, use of the word ‘genocide’ shouldn't be something to joke about." In Israel's recent election, the nation's two Arab-led parties were projected to secure a combined 19 seats, according to preliminary results. Che delivered the remark alongside co-host Colin Jost during a segment that also targeted President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Republican messaging ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections. Che previously drew criticism in February 2021 for suggesting that Israel’s COVID-19 vaccination campaign favored Jewish citizens. 'SNL' HOST MICHAEL CHE MOCKS MACKLEMORE'S 'FREE PALESTINE TOUR' AFTER ED SHEERAN DROPS RAPPER "Israel is reporting that they’ve vaccinated half of their population. I’m going to guess it’s the Jewish half," Che said. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said the joke "not only missed the mark, but crossed the line." The American Jewish Committee separately sought a retraction and apology from NBC over that segment, saying Che’s suggestion that Israel prioritized Jewish citizens misrepresented vaccine eligibility. The organization said vaccines were available to Israeli citizens regardless of religion or ethnicity. Fox News Digital reached out to the Israeli government and the White House for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
