The Associated Press reported that Youngkin is projected to defeat former Governor Terry McAuliffe in a contest which Owens and many conservatives saw as much a battleground for so-called culture wars as it was a harbinger of the 2022 midterms. Republicans also look set to take control of the House of Delegates, The Hill reported. GOP Del. Jason Miyares is on track to defeat incumbent Attorney General Mark Herring, while Republican Winsome Sears made history as the first woman and woman of color to be elected to lieutenant governor....

Reading between the lines, however, you can gain some insight into how badly he wants this fight. Although everything between the two sides has been extraordinarily contentious ever since the night of Sept. 16, 2017, when their highly anticipated first fight ended in a disappointing split draw, Golovkin has maintained that he harbors no ill will toward his opponent. He says he’s not upset about Canelo’s failed drug test, Canelo stating that he won the first fight, or the public back-and-forth between the two teams before they finally agreed to a deal at the 24th hour....

Faulk, whose 558 regular-season games entering Thursday were third-most among active players without a postseason appearance, netted the go-ahead goal in his team’s 3-1 victory over the Devils. Just 96 seconds into the second period, Faulk unleased eight seasons’ worth of frustration with a rocket of a slap shot past New Jersey netminder Cory Schneider that gave the Hurricanes a 2-1 lead. Coupled with the Canadiens’ 2-1 loss to the Capitals, the Hurricanes clinched a postseason berth exactly 10 years to the day after their last one....

In the eighth inning of Thursday’s 3-0 Orioles victory against the Rays, Mancini lifted a fly ball to right-center that was headed toward Rays right fielder Josh Lowe. But as Lowe began to backpedal for the ball, he lost track of it in the sun.

Worried constituents are calling Washington for answers. “They think government screwed these people over, and I think they’re right,” says a congressional aide. House members are still smarting from the New York Post headline that called them “Wimps” for fleeing the Capitol. When traces of anthrax showed up in the Ford Building on the House side, and in a freight elevator in the Hart Senate Office Building, forcing a quarantine of the building for many more weeks, House leaders felt vindicated in their decision....

Reacting to the High Court’s 4-3 decision, a Democratic strategist quipped, “I wonder if they’re taking money from the Republican National Committee. The timing is devastating. It’s really going to hurt.” With Massachusetts Senator John Kerry seemingly poised to become the Democratic nominee, the ruling is a gift for the White House. The Bush campaign can use Massachusetts as shorthand for everything that is un-American. The Democrats are making it even easier by holding their convention in Boston....

Republicans are counting on a quick military victory that will send the stock market soaring and restore President Bush’s aura of invincibility. Democrats are also hoping for a short war–so short that it will be forgotten by the time the 2004 presidential election approaches 18 months from now and the economy is still in the tank. Whichever scenario triumphs, the politics of Capitol Hill will be reshaped. Until the foreign war is resolved, the domestic political armies remain in place, ready to deploy once they see how much bounce Bush gets from conquering the Iraqi Army....

Bolton said that the culture of the Capitol Police force needs to change and address the areas of intelligence, training and operational planning. “In regards to culture change, we see that the department needs to move away from the thought process as a traditional police department and move to the posture as a protective agency,” Bolton said in his statement. “A police department is a reactive force. A crime is committed; police respond and make an arrest....

After President Donald Trump gave remarks at a Stop the Steal rally in Washington, D.C., his supporters descended upon the U.S. Capitol building. Members of Congress were certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory when the riot began. An affidavit from the Joint Terrorism Task Force explained that Fee had shared a post on his girlfriend’s Facebook page, confessing to her that he was present at the riot. His girlfriend’s brother, a State Department agent, saw the post and asked the suspect directly through text message about his involvement in the riot....

Astori passed away in his hotel room last Sunday just hours ahead of a scheduled Serie A match with Udinese, an autopsy showing the 31-year-old died from natural causes that led to heart problems. Sunday’s game against Benevento was an understandably sombre affair, with players warming up in shirts bearing Astori’s name and number. Prior to the game a banner bearing Astori’s name and the message “captain forever” was laid on the Stadio Artemio Franchi pitch....

The video has been posted on social media and shows the man speaking on a phone while being recorded. It is unclear where and under what conditions this video was filmed.

What Is a Carcinoma? A carcinoma is a cancer that forms in the cells that line your organs and skin, called epithelial tissue....

As Arizona celebrated its walk-off road win, Murray made his way to a field-level suite to share the moment with Cardinals fans in attendance.
