GOP Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith Just Made A Joke About Public Hangings In Mississippi
Mississippi Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, a white Republican, joked about going to a “public hanging” during a campaign event this weekend, a comment her Democratic challenger, who is black, called “reprehensible” and divisive ahead of a runoff election later this month. “If he invited me to a public hanging, I’d be on the front row,” Hyde-Smith said on Sunday morning in Tupelo, Miss. during an event with a cattle rancher. It’s unclear what context the comments were made under, although she appeared to be praising the rancher, Colin Hutchinson.

The Los Angeles Landmarks Affected by the Woolsey Wildfire—And How You Can Help
As there's been little to stop the Woolsey wildfire from spreading from the Valley toward the Pacific coastline, catastrophic doesn't even begin to describe the loss California is facing right now, only a year after fires ripped through the state. In addition to the scarring of the natural landscape, the Woolsey fire, along with the Camp fire in the Sierra Nevada foothills, has claimed 31 lives and led to the most deadly outbreak of fires in California’s history. Further, with thousands of acres scorched, hundreds of thousands of residents have been forced to evacuate, many—celebrities like Gerard Butler, Miley Cyrus, and Robin Thicke among them—have totally lost their homes, and historic and cultural structures have also been wiped out by the raging flames which, thanks to high winds moving into the area, could intensify.
