Democratic nominee Scott Colom has defeated Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi’s closely contested U.S. Senate race after a prolonged ballot counting process, giving the state its first Black U.S. senator since post-Civil War Reconstruction.

Colom’s narrow victory is a seismic shift in Mississippi, which has been controlled mostly by white conservatives for generations, and it will echo through the country as well. The outcome adds to a decisive midterm rebuke of President Donald Trump, whose party suffered defeats in several Republican-controlled states, and it will bolster some Democrats’ argument that their future runs through the American South.

A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier issued a verbal reprimand to a group of advisers and staffers with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

Video shows Hegseth taking photos on the empty steps in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver and senior adviser Tami Radabaugh.

As the group broke from taking photos, a loud laugh could be heard, and the soldier guarding the tomb shouted that “all visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.”

A US Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier reprimanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and talked near the solemn memorial following a Veterans Day ceremony.

“All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times,” the sentinel called out, stopping his patrol to face the group as they departed.

Jerk didn't even seem to care. I bet he turns around and tries to get the Sentinel reprimanded.

Lidl is a cheapo German supermarket that's setup shop in northern Virginia and is gradually spreading along the East Coast. 2 lobster tails at 13$. I had some spare rice with farro and spinach which got some random sheep/goat cheese and light cream and then the broccolini which was roast in the oven. Crimini mushrooms and butter with some white wine, the tails and a hot 450 degree oven to set the veggies and lobstah. I should have shelled the tails, but oh well...

The board is preparing to meet as soon as Wednesday to determine his future, people familiar with the matter said. His departure would bring down the curtain on an era during which he stoked the global artificial-intelligence boom and became a geopolitical star. It would leave one of the world’s most valuable companies in need of a new leader.

Facing political setbacks during his first term as president, Trump reportedly asked, “Where’s my Roy Cohn?” Bird, who co-authored American Scoundrel with his wife Susan Goldmark, says Trump may have found his Cohn in Stephen Miller, the architect of the administration’s mass deportation policies whom Trump just elevated to chief of staff.

Buenos Aires (Argentina) (AFP) – A 74-year-old former member of Italy's radical Marxist group the Red Brigades has escaped from house arrest in Argentina, the country's security ministry confirmed on Wednesday.

Authorities placed Leonardo Bertulazzi under house arrest in Buenos Aires in 2024, prior to his extradition to Italy to serve a 27-year prison sentence.

He had received the sentence in 1987 for joining a subversive association and belonging to an armed group.

After years on the run, Bertulazzi was first arrested by Argentine authorities in 2002. He was freed a few months later and secured refugee status in 2004, but was arrested again in 2024 after it was revoked.

On Wednesday, Argentina's security ministry offered a $13,000 reward for information leading to Bertulazzi's recapture after he slipped out of detention.

The fugitive held a senior position in the Red Brigades, a radical Marxist organization responsible for attacks between 1969 and 1980, dubbed Italy's "Years of Lead."

The group most notoriously kidnapped and assassinated former prime minister Aldo Moro in 1978.

Local press went wild describing details of Bertulazzi's escape from his residence in the capital, but authorities have not confirmed the veracity of any of the reports.

He reportedly used a harness to lower himself from a fifth-floor balcony.

Police noticed his ankle monitor had stopped transmitting movement data and headed to the house, where they found the device discarded and Bertulazzi nowhere to be found.

Argentina approved his extradition to Italy in July 2025 after the Supreme Court rejected a final appeal.
