.
The status quo is broken and big change
is needed.
It’s time for new leadership in
the Senate that unites Republicans to
advance a bold Conservative agenda.
That’s why I’m running to be
the Senate Republican Leader, Rick Scott, Florida Republican Senator, via Twitter .
McConnell has controlled the top position
since 2007, which makes him the longest-serving
GOP leader in the Senate's history.
Republicans are scheduled to hold
a leadership vote on November 16.
However, NBC reports that some GOP members have urged McConnell to delay the election until the results of the Georgia Senate runoff are known in December.
Last week's midterm elections saw the Republican
party fail to take control of the Senate, losing
a seat in Pennsylvania to Democrats.
Like each of you, I am deeply
disappointed by the results
of the recent election, Rick Scott, Florida Republican Senator, via NBC .
NBC reports that Scott and McConnell
have long been at odds over strategy
and overall vision for the Republican caucus.

is whether we do it sooner or later, Mitch McConnell, Senate Republican Leader, via NBC

couple, Obama graduated from
Harvard Law School. .
He taught law at the University
of Chicago, before being elected
to the Illinois State Senate in 1996.

delivering the keynote speech at the
2004 Democratic National Convention,
Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate.

his candidacy for president and clinched
the nomination from NY Senator and
former First Lady Hillary Clinton.
His grassroots campaign utilized the
internet with a unique message of hope,
inspiring donations in excess of $500 million.
143 years after the end of the U.S. Civil War, almost 70 million Americans voted for Obama. He secured 365 electoral votes.
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible ... tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment, change has come to America, President Barack Obama, Nov. 4, 2008

House Passes $14.3 Billion , in Israel Aid.
House Passes $14.3 Billion , in Israel Aid.
A bill to provide monetary aid to Israel amid its war against Hamas was passed by the House on Nov. 2.
The move is likely to "clash with the Democratic-led Senate," CNN reports.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer referred
to the bill as a "deeply flawed proposal.".
Democrats are upset that the bill doesn't include
aid for Ukraine and would cut IRS funding.

However, much of the GOP-led House is against sending more money to Ukraine.
However, much of the GOP-led House is against sending more money to Ukraine.
According to the Congressional Budget Office,
cuts to IRS funding would increase the deficit and lose about $26.8 billion in revenue over a decade.
The hypocrisy here is that by cutting
funding to go after tax cheats, (it) will
actually explode the deficit by billions
and billions of dollars. What a joke, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, via statement.
We will work together on our own bipartisan
emergency aid package that includes aid to
Israel, Ukraine, competition with the Chinese
government and humanitarian aid to Gaza, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, via statement.
As the two chambers continue to argue, another potential government shutdown is on the horizon, as funding expires on Nov. 17.
New House Speaker Mike Johnson said he's committed to passing a bill to help Ukraine after dealing with Israel first, but it would need to include border security provisions.
Ukraine will come in short order, it will come
next. And you’ve heard me say that we want
to pair border security with Ukraine … If we’re
going to take care of a border in Ukraine, we
need to take care of America’s border as well, House Speaker Mike Johnson, via statement

Speaking at a Joint Secretary Session of the Senate's External Affairs and Defence Commission in Rome, Jaishankar said dialogue and negotiation can be the solution to address the Israel-Palestine conflict and underlined that terrorism was "unacceptable". He also reiterated that India's stand on the issue has been a two-state solution.

Pink is partnering with PEN America to
distribute 2,000 banned books at her shows
in South Florida this week, CNN reports.
Miami and Sunrise, Florida, concertgoers
can receive books on Nov. 14 and Nov. 15.
I’m a voracious reader, and
I’m a mom of two kids who
are also voracious readers, Pink, via Instagram.
And I can’t imagine my own parents
telling me what my kids can and cannot
read, let alone someone else’s parents,
let alone someone else that doesn’t
even have children that are deciding
what my children can read, Pink, via Instagram.
Books that fans will receive include
Todd Parr's 'The Family Book,'
'The Hill We Climb' by Amanda Gorman.
Toni Morrison's 'Beloved' or a book
from the series 'Girls Who Code.'.
It’s especially hateful to see authorities
take aim at books about race and racism
and against LGBTQ authors and those of color. We have made so many strides toward
equality in this country and no one should
want to see this progress reversed, Pink, via statement shared by PEN America.
CEO of PEN America Suzanne Nossel issued
a statement about partnering with Pink.
This is a wave that is taking over
our country, our schools, our libraries.
[They] are going after books about
children of color, stories of LGBTQ families,
books about babies, about animals, Suzanne Nossel, CEO of PEN America, via statement.
This is censorship in its purest form.
It is meant to suppress narratives that
we need here as a pluralistic society
and so we have to push back, Suzanne Nossel, CEO of PEN America, via statement.
Florida has banned more books than any other
state in the past year, according to PEN America
