“Democrat Scott Colom’s lead over incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith has grown from 65 earlier to 1,138 votes with an estimated 96% of votes counted. Significant votes are still outstanding in Democratic-friendly Hinds County, as well as thousands of affidavit ballots” mississippifreepress.org/liv…

Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face. These results were only possible because outstanding candidates stepped forward in every region of the country — including in areas once considered long shots. They came from different backgrounds and represented a range of political perspectives, but were united by shared values, a belief in public service, and a commitment to putting the people of their districts and states first. We also owe a debt of gratitude to the thousands of election officials and volunteers from both parties who helped ensure a smooth election and carried out one of the most essential functions of our democracy. While this administration has another two years in office, our job now is to roll up our sleeves, make changes wherever we have the power to do so, prevent further damage, and lay the groundwork for the future.

🚨HISTORY: JJ McCarthy came into the game with 11 minutes left and the Giants down 34-10. He cut the lead to 34-27 and nearly tied the game. He threw for 243 yards. The MOST in an 11 minute span in NFL HISTORY. WOW

Somewhere in your 20s or 30s you'll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop, heal from what broke you, live in your own space, reconnect with your discipline, and learn to love yourself again. It's very important that you see that journey through.
What's the hardest lesson you've learned?

Thinking “season over” after that shows who really knows ball and who doesn’t. Just bounce back blue…
