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.

An image found by Off-Road.com on a public Ford website allegedly shows the upcoming 2020 Ford Bronco in full-except it's not really the Bronco.

PoliticsAFPDespite restrictions, digital spending hits record in US midterms
Even as online platforms tightened rules for political ads, digital spending set new records in the 2018 US midterm elections and appears poised for further growth in 2020. Digital media campaign spending rose 2,400 percent from the 2014 midterms to $1.8 billion, roughly 20 percent of the total $8.9 billion in ad spending, according to preliminary estimates from the research firm Borrell Associates. Online spending, much of it on social networks like Facebook, has been a significant factor in campaigns for a decade, but tighter rules imposed by digital giants in the wake of the 2016 election could have curbed some of that growth.

Trump Reportedly Plans To Fire DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen In Coming Weeks
President Donald Trump plans to fire Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen in the coming weeks in what would be the latest major shakeup in the White House following last week’s midterm elections, according to a report Monday in The Washington Post. The president has grown frustrated with Nielsen’s action on immigration since she assumed her post last December, the Post, citing five current and former officials, said. Homeland Security has been embroiled in several high-profile conflicts this year, including the Trump administration’s much-criticized decision to separate migrant families at the border and place young children in immigrant detention centers.

Broward Election Supervisor Will Likely Be Forced Out of Office
Broward County elections supervisor Brenda Snipes is soon expected to be removed from office by Florida governor Rick Scott or his likely successor, Representative Ron Desantis (R., Fla.), due to her multiple violations of Florida elections and public information law, Politico reported Monday. Snipes, who has twice been found guilty of violating election law in the past two years alone, has come under scrutiny in the wake of the midterm elections for refusing to disclose the number of absentee ballots received by her office and for contaminating some 200 valid provisional ballots by mixing in 22 rejected ballots. “This is not just the most troubled elections office in the state, it’s the most troubled elections office in the nation,” said Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, who has argued Snipes should be removed from office immediately after the ongoing recounts in the senate and gubernatorial races are complete.

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.
