As he continued a tour of Georgia on Thursday ahead of his crucial Senate runoff battle against GOP Sen. David Perdue, Ossoff simply tweeted: “We will win back the Senate.” If Democrats win both Georgia Senate runoff elections on January 5 next year, the upper chamber will have a 50-50 split, with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris having the deciding vote. While it is possible that Democrats could gain effective control of the Senate—a massive boost for President-elect Joe Biden’s incoming administration—the first Georgia Senate runoff poll, released this week, favors the Republican incumbents....

While Hill is impressed, the critics have been less kind to Feldstein as a number of publications shared mediocre to lukewarm reviews of the show and its lead actress. Feldstein made her Broadway debut in Funny Girl over the weekend, playing the role made famous by the Oscar-winning Barbra Streisand.

Take a look: Also, check out this amazing angle from the stands: Zimmermann (14-5) allowed only two baserunners, finishing with 10 strikeouts and one walk in the fifth no-hitter in the majors this year. Christian Yelich almost wrecked Zimmermann’s bid with two outs in the ninth inning. He sent a long drive to left-center, and Zimmermann leaned his head back and winced, thinking his no-hitter was lost. But Souza, who made his big league debut this year and took over for Ryan Zimmerman to begin the ninth, ran hard into the gap, extended his glove and leaped for the sensational catch....

Purkey, 68, was scheduled to die by lethal injection at the U.S. Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, on Wednesday—a day after Daniel Lewis Lee, 47, became the first federal death row inmate to be executed in 17 years following a ruling from the Supreme Court.

Florida District Court Judge Donald Middlebrooks dismissed Trump’s suit in September, which alleged that Clinton—Trump’s former Democratic presidential opponent—accused him of colluding with Russia prior to the 2016 election. On Thursday, Middlebrooks ordered nearly $938,000 in sanctions against Trump’s lead attorney in the case, Alina Habba, writing that the former president’s “legal theories were frivolous.” Middlebrooks also said that Trump has had a “pattern of misusing the courts to serve political purposes,” referencing some recent lawsuits filed by the former president: against CNN in 2018 and 2022; against Twitter and its then-CEO Jack Dorsey in 2021; against New York Attorney General Letitia James in November 2022; and against the Pulitzer Prize Board in December 2022....

So it was for most Americans, happily munching on overdone beef patties and blistered Oscar Mayers at family cookouts throughout the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. And then, in 1983, the great Jeremiah Tower, a founder of “New American Cuisine,” signed on to cook for a group of food journalists in Newport, R.I. Pushed out of the tiny kitchen by the headlining French chef, he took his groceries outside, poured bags of mesquite into some grills and cooked his whole menu—from lobsters and lamb racks to marinated leeks and grape-leaf-wrapped goat cheese—over the coals....
