Democratic Sen. Bob Casey on Thursday conceded the high stakes Pennsylvania Senate race to Republican Dave McCormick. “During my time in office, I have been guided by an inscription on the Finance Building in Harrisburg: ‘All public service is a trust, given in faith and accepted in honor,’” he said in a video posted on X. “Thank you for your trust in me for all these years, Pennsylvania. It has been the honor of my lifetime.”

The Boston Celtics were the 2024 NBA Champions, and part of their celebration was getting honored at the White House by President Joe Biden. It’s tradition for the NBA Champs to travel to the White House for this special honor, and the Celtics’ turn happened on Thursday, November 21. President Biden welcomed the players during a press event at the White House. He joked about not knowing where the players came from and the team just showing up.

Members of President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team were blindsided by the latest details to emerge about a 2017 sexual-assault allegation against Pete Hegseth, increasing their frustration with the man nominated to lead the Pentagon, according to people familiar with the matter. The transition team, which hadn’t been told about the original allegation before announcing Hegseth, was surprised again late Wednesday night when the Monterey, Calif., city police released a report...

A newly released police report from 2017 alleges that Pete Hegseth, the former Fox News host and nominee for secretary of defense, blocked the woman who accused him of sexual assault from leaving the hotel room and took her phone before the encounter that he denies was anything but consensual.

This week, Ukrainian forces used American-made ATACM missiles to strike Russian military targets inside Russia for the first time, marking a remarkable policy shift by the Biden administration. Cue the hyperventilating from the usual suspects about “the warmongers dragging us into World War III!”

One more time, maybe the last, Joe Biden stared through sunglasses and angrily delivered a speech written to be uplifting. “The Amazon is the lungs of the world!” he barked at the G-20 summit in Brazil, before loping off with an unsmiling half-wave, like a man leaving a restaurant with lousy service. The President of the United States disappeared into trees.

The Military Industrial Complex, as represented by incumbent president Joe Biden, “seems to want to make sure they get World War 3 going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives.” So tweeted Donald Trump Jr., son of the eponymous president-elect. Other Trumpies weighed in too: “No one anticipated that Joe Biden would ESCALATE the war in Ukraine during the transition period.

President-elect Donald Trump is urging Republicans to block a bill designed to protect journalists from government surveillance. The legislation, known as the PRESS Act, would be the first federal law to shield reporters from being forced to disclose their confidential sources.
