North Carolina sits one uncalled state Senate race from full Democratic control of state government, where Republican incumbent Danny Britt leads Catina Hamm by 228 votes, a margin within recount range. The page also collects an FEC complaint alleging that United Futures Inc., which spent nearly $20 million boosting Democrats in 2026, is a shell illegally hiding its donors; the death in Moscow of Russian ambassador Alexander Darchiev; Palantir chief Alex Karp calling himself a staunch liberal as Jon Tester takes an advisory role with the firm; Tennessee's effort to shield its lethal-injection supplier from Christa Pike's attorneys; and a government-funding impasse ahead of the December 11 shutdown deadline.
