Breaking: Republican Glenn Youngkin has won the race for governor in Virginia, riding a wave of late momentum to deliver a rebuke of Democratic control in Richmond and Washington politi.co/2YbdNfp
Here's how the #VAgov race looked with 95% of the expected vote in.

Check the latest live numbers ➡️ politi.co/3CHLHrc
The margin reflects major gains for Youngkin and his party across Virginia and in other states as well.

In New Jersey, Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy is locked in an unexpectedly tight race with Republican Jack Ciattarelli.

In both Virginia and New Jersey, the Republican candidates not only built further on blowout GOP margins in smaller, rural counties, they also cut into the edge Democrats built in diverse, heavily populated suburbs in recent years. politico.com/news/2021/11/0…

Broadband is not a luxury good, it's now a necessity says FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel.

"The days of just calling it a luxury good are over. It's an essential service for everyone, everywhere," Rosenworcel said.

The FCC is leaving the door open to taking further actions to ensure everyone has broadband access — including price regulation and combating “digital redlining.”

“We’re going to have to study every tool we have.”

In the hours and days after the attacks on 9/11, the consensus was that more deadly attacks were coming.

20 years later, the architects of the U.S. response can look back with relief that another large-scale attack on American soil never took place.

But that fact has often been used as a blanket justification for many of the most far-reaching, controversial and even harmful decisions made in the aftermath of the attacks.

The vast expansion of the surveillance state. Covert operations to kill or capture suspected terrorists, and in some cases torture them. The invasion first of Afghanistan, where the attacks were planned, and then Iraq, where they were not.

Florida's fight over requiring masks in classrooms reached a whole new level this week.

A quick timeline, ICYMI 🧵
➡️ In late July, the CDC recommended all K-12 students wear masks when they return to class in the fall.

➡️ That week, Gov. Ron DeSantis banned Florida schools from mandating masks, arguing parents should be free to decide whether their kids wear masks.
➡️ As Covid cases continued to rise, some Florida schools rebelled against the governor and implemented mask mandates anyway.

➡️ Last week a judge ruled DeSantis doesn't have the authority to punish schools for requiring masks.
