RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia’s state House will soon have its first Black speaker in its more than 400-year history after the chamber’s incoming Democratic majority on Saturday chose Del. Don Scott to serve in the post. Scott was unanimously elected speaker-designee by the House Democratic Caucus, the group said in a news release. The full House of Delegates will vote to officially confirm him on the first day of the 2024 legislative session.“Virginia voters sent a resounding message on Tuesday that they wanted a Commonwealth that moved forward and that is exactly what I intend to do as your next Speaker,” Scott said in a statement.Democrats not only flipped control of the House of Delegates in Tuesday’s legislative elections but also held their majority in the state Senate, dashing Gov. Glenn Youngkin and fellow Republicans’ hopes of securing a GOP trifecta.The outcome means at least two more years of divided government.

Canadians filled cenotaph and memorial sites across the country to mark Remembrance Day and pay tribute to soldiers who served Canada, both in active combat and peace-keeping or crisis management roles. Here’s a sample of what dignitaries and everyday Canadians alike are saying on the occasion:“Remembrance Day is an opportunity to recognize members of the Canadian Armed Forces who have courageously answered the call of duty. When it was needed most, they left behind their families and homes. Many returned with severe trauma – or didn’t return at all. Their sacrifice is a debt that we can never repay. As we reflect on this debt, we are reminded that this day is not just about the past; it is about our present and our future. From the battlefields of the First and Second World Wars, to Korea and Afghanistan, and in peacekeeping operations, to the training grounds for Ukrainian soldiers, and here at home, responding to a global pandemic and to climate-related disasters, Canadian ...Biden says America’s veterans are ‘the steel spine of this nation’ as he pays tribute at Arlington

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said America’s veterans are “the steel spine of this nation” as he marked Veterans Day during a visit to Arlington National Cemetery.In remarks at the Memorial Amphitheater, the commander in chief recounted famous battles fought by U.S. troops and said those deployments of soldiers are “linked in a chain of honor that stretches back to our founding days. Each one bound by a sacred oath to support and defend. Not a place, not a person, not a president, but an idea, to defend an idea unlike any other in human history. That idea is the United States of America.”Nov. 11, once known as Armistice Day, is the anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I in 1918. Biden said that was “unlike any war the world had ever seen before.”The ceremony was personal for Biden and first lady Jill Biden.Biden’s son Beau enlisted in 2003 in the Delaware Army National Guard and deployed to Iraq in 2008 for a year as a member of the 261st Theater Tactical ...With offseason underway, here are three areas of interest for the Twins

The offseason moves have begun.The Twins picked up the club options on second baseman Jorge Polanco ($10.5 million) and Max Kepler last week. They also extended a qualifying offer to starting pitcher Sonny Gray. Gray, who is widely expected to decline the offer and test free agency, has until Nov. 14 to make a decision.As the offseason begins, it has become clear that the Twins’ payroll will not be as high as it was in 2023, in part because of the end of their television contract, when it was at their all-time high around $155 million. That could force the Twins to be more creative when trying to address roster needs this season. Here’s a look at three of their most important areas to address this winter:Starting pitchingKenta Maeda is a free agent. And in a matter of days, if Gray declines the qualifying offer, he will be a free agent as well — and one who will likely command a multi-year deal richer than what Twins would be willing to offer him.The Twins have Pablo López, Joe Ryan...The Loop Fantasy Football Update Week 10: Injury bug hits hard in Cincinnati

UPDATE: 12:32 p.m. SaturdayNot a whole lot of fantasy news so far this weekend, except in Cincinnati, where Joe Burrow may be missing his top two receivers for Sunday’s game against Houston.All-world wideout Ja’Marr Chase is still considered questionable because of his injured back. But now No. 2 option Tee Higgins has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury. The beneficiaries, fantasy-wise, will likely be No. 3 WR Tyler Boyd and former Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr.Arizona is getting QB Kyler Murray back and could also get standout RB James Conner returning from injury. They’ll certainly need the latter as his replacement, Emari Demercado, is out because of a toe injury.One other significant player has been ruled out for Week 10: Houston’s top receiver, Nico Collins.ORIGINAL POST: noon WednesdayWeek 9 was pretty busy for Joshua Dobbs.
