🇺🇸 - One Dead, Multiple Injured After Partial Building Collapse On Bedford Avenue In Flatbush A three-story building partially collapsed around 4 p.m. Wednesday near Bedford Avenue and Flatbush Avenue in Flatbush, sending bricks and debris into an open construction pit next door.​ FDNY crews are running a major technical rescue operation. One person has died. At least 10 others are injured, including four in critical condition and six with minor injuries. Firefighters are still searching the rubble for people who remain trapped.​ The collapse exposed the side of the mixed-use building, revealing apartments and stairwells. The site next door had recent demolition and excavation work. City records show a prior stop-work order and violation at the neighboring property earlier this year.​ Avoid the area. Expect street closures and traffic delays around Bedford and Flatbush. DOB investigators are on scene.

🇺🇸 - Democrat Scott Colom Unseats Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith In Mississippi Senate Race Democrat Scott Colom has won the Mississippi U.S. Senate seat, defeating Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith in a narrow upset called more than a week after Election Day. Colom, a local district attorney, led by roughly 4,500 votes with nearly all ballots counted. Hyde-Smith conceded Wednesday evening. This is the first Democratic Senate win in Mississippi since 1982 and makes Colom the first Black senator from the state since Reconstruction. The result expands the Democratic majority to at least 55 seats, with the Alaska race still outstanding. Republicans had been favored in the deep-red state. Hyde-Smith said she respected the voters’ decision and congratulated Colom.

🇺🇸 - Joe Kernen LAUGHED Democrat Rep. Pete Aguilar off the set on live TV. Aguilar came on Squawk Box this morning and tried to claim it’s Republicans who turned the Justice Department into a political weapon. Kernen was willing to do what most of the press won’t...he CALLED OUT Aguilar to his face called and started rattling off names. He began by naming every Democrat AG who did EXACTLY that...then told Aguilar he was impressed he could even say what he just said with a straight face. It was brilliant to watch. KERNEN: “Congressman, if we lived in a perfect world, I’d be nodding.” “But do I need to mention Merrick Garland? Do I need to mention Eric Holder? Janet Reno? Loretta Lynch, who was on the plane with Bill Clinton?” “I mean, come on.” “I love you, congressman. But you delivered that with a straight face, which is what I liked.” Aguilar had nothing. He called it a conspiracy theory and tried to pivot to costs. AGUILAR: “If you want to talk about 12 year old conspiracy theories about planes, that’s fine. Joe, the American people are getting crushed with costs.” Kernen wasn’t done. KERNEN: “Eric Holder was Obama’s wingman.” Good for Kernen. This needed to be said.

Trump noted that Democrats have violated the blue slip custom before while Republicans usually follow it, and that some Republicans still refuse to end the practice even though a single Democratic senator can stop a nominee.
