If Murdoch wasn't such a greedy bastard democracy-destroying hypocrite, I'd commend him for being careful. However, he is.

I like ABBA and I hope their last album is of equal or greater quality than their previous work.

Scroll down to where it says "More trends for Florida". There, click on Fatality Rate. The trend line is going slowly up.
If this is accurate, this surprises me. It doesn't help the stats that DeSantis has played politics with the reporting.
Perhaps not significant ? Fatality rate for COVID-19 in Florida is trending very slowly upwards

Virginia Gov.-elect Youngkin's underaged son tried to vote in Tuesday's election, elections official
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/glenn-youngkin-son-vote-election/2021/11/05/f5eb7ce0-3e62-11ec-8ee9-4f14a26749d1_story.htmlThe 17-year-old son of Virginia Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin (R) tried to cast a ballot in Tuesdays gubernatorial election twice despite being too young to vote, Fairfax County officials said in a statement released Friday.
The statement, which identified the teen as Youngkins 17-year-old son, emphasized that he did not end up voting and stated that he did not violate any state election laws. The Post is not including the teens first name because he is a juvenile and has not been charged with a crime.
The teen walked into the voting precinct inside the Great Falls Library on Tuesday afternoon, presenting his drivers license to election officials when asked for a proof of identity, according to Jennifer Chanty, the precinct captain there.
Chanty said in an interview with The Post she realized who the teen was when she looked at his ID. Upon seeing his age, she said she informed him that he must be at least 18 to be eligible to vote in Virginia.

The Corps' COVID-19 vaccination deadline is coming. Marines who refuse will be booted
https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2021/11/01/the-corps-covid-19-vaccination-deadline-is-soon-marines-who-refuse-will-be-booted/The Corps will kick out every Marine who refuses the COVID-19 vaccine and fails to receive an approved exemption by the Nov. 28 deadline, a new administrative message said.
Barring an approved administrative, medical or religious accommodation, or a pending appeal, Marines who fail to meet the deadline will be processed for administrative separation, the MARADMIN said. General court-martial convening authorities will retain authority to take any additional adverse administrative or disciplinary action deemed appropriate.
A Marine is considered to have refused the vaccine when they do not have approved administrative, medical or religious accommodation, or a pending appeal, and they received and willfully disobeyed a lawful order from a superior commissioned officer to be vaccinated against COVID-19; the MARADMIN said.
The Marine Corps had not approved any religious exemptions to the COVID-19 vaccine as of Thursday, said Capt. Andrew Wood, a Marine Corps spokesman.

"Mayor Pete was on a two-month maternity paternity, whatever the heck you want to call it leave. The guy was gone," Boebert claimed. "The guy was not working, because why? He was trying to figure out how to chest feed."

Even though Lauren Witzke lost to Sen. Chris Coons by more than 100,000 votes, she is "asking the Delaware State Police to stand with me...that is my plan to reclaim my Senate seat."

Yes, she did not use the word "coup".
