Colom wins Senate seat from Mississippi
Democrat Scott Colom has won the contest for U.S. Senator from Mississippi, defeating incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith by fewer than 5,000 votes as of the Thursday morning count. Hyde-Smith conceded the contest in a phone call to Colom Wednesday night. Colom’s victory makes him the first Black person elected to statewide office in Mississippi since the Reconstruction era. He’s also the first Mississippi Democrat to be elected to the U.S. Senate in more than four decades. Colom said he had to have faith to keep campaigning when others didn’t believe in him. “You need faith, and I’ll tell you, throughout this campaign, there were many times where I had to have faith. There were times that I couldn’t get donors to answer the phone. They did not believe a moment like this was possible. But I kept the faith,” Colom said. Colom vowed to work for everyone in Mississippi regardless of whether he won their vote.
Hegseth reprimanded for behavior at Arlington Cemetery
A U.S. Army sentinel guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier reprimanded Defense Secretary 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. Hegseth was in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver and senior adviser and deputy assistant Tami Radabaugh after the ceremony held at Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day. Some in the group were laughing and chatting after taking photos, prompting the soldier patrolling in front of the Tomb to yell out and correct them. When asked for comment, Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell said the “soldier correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum.”
AG Blanche warns Democrats against investigating Trump
Attorney General Todd Blanche has made it clear that the Trump Justice Department would consider prosecuting Democrats over the Democrats’ stated intentions to investigate Trump administration officials. In an interview with CNN, Blanche cited Congressman Robert Garcia saying that members of the administration need to “lawyer up.” Blanche said, “If that doesn’t bother you, if that doesn’t bother your viewers, then we really need to kind of wake up in this country, because it certainly bothers me.” On Wednesday, White House Counsel Will Scharf issued a letter cautioning the House Oversight Committee against forthcoming investigations and saying the administration “will not be extorted.” Scharf warned that Democrats’ oversight “must further a legitimate legislative task,” rather than trying to serve the criminal-prosecution functions of the executive and judicial branches. He also cited what he called “abusive and capricious threats” from Democratic lawmakers.
Talks on Ukraine war underway in Moscow
Talks between Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian President Vladimir Putin were underway in Moscow on Thursday, after negotiations in Abu Dhabi aimed at ending the Ukraine war concluded without a breakthrough. The trip to Moscow follows two days of talks in the UAE capital between Russian, Ukrainian and American negotiators – the first of their kind since February – which Ukraine said made progress on some issues, but did not result in a clear resolution. The talks come as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warns of reoccurring disruptions to Starshield. It’s a military-grade version of Elon Musk’s Starlink service that is critical to Ukraine’s military operations. He said Thursday the service had faced “significant disruptions” in recent days, hampering Ukraine’s ability to shoot down Russian drones. Zelenskyy had said Trump ordered disruptions to Starshield.
Israel strikes hospital in Gaza
An Israeli strike on a hospital in southern Gaza has killed at least six people, including a doctor and a child, Palestinian officials say. The strike on Nasser Hospital shortly after midnight hit the complex’s surgery unit, according to a Gaza Civil Defense spokesman. The attack tore through part of the hospital in the dark of night, Ezz Eddine Abu Sabha said, leaving charred debris scattered across the destroyed unit. At least 40 people were injured in the Israeli strike, including two doctors who are in critical condition. Images from inside the hospital showed a bomb that failed to explode. A label on the bomb identified it as a U.S.-manufactured GBU-39/B, a 250-pound bomb that the U.S. had supplied to Israel. The Israeli Defense Forces said they targeted the hospital because terrorists were hiding inside of it.
