Years ago, before Democrats came unhinged over their hatred of President Donald Trump, Americans generally cared about their country's welfare. Today, however, even in their responses to poll questions, hard-core Democrat voters no longer even pretend to embrace reasonable compromise. According to a CBS News/YouGov poll released Sunday, 55 percent...

Dean Harrison and John McGuinness will again represent the Honda Racing UK team at the 2026 Isle of Man TT and North West 200, although Harrison will have a key change to his programme on the short circuits. Harrison, who joined Honda in 2024 and will contest his third season with the team in 2026, will remain the team’s only rider in all three main road racing classes: Superbike, Superstock, and Supersport. But after just over one season in the BSB Supersport class (he would’ve finished the season there if not having been called on to replace Andrew Irwin in the Superbike class in the final two rounds of 2025) Harrison will move classes in 2026, as he switches to the Superstock category on the short circuits, becoming Honda Racing UK’s first full-time entry in the National Superstock Championship this decade. Harrison, of course, was victorious in both Superstock races at the 2025 Isle of Man TT, so is up to speed with the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade in that specification.

David Richardson, the acting administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), has resigned from his position. Richardson led the agency for approximately six months. “The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) extend their sincere appreciation to the Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Administrator, David Richardson, for his dedicated service and wish him continued success in his return to the private sector,” a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson told The Hill.

The agency did not say why Richardson is leaving. During his tenure, he faced scrutiny over his handling of Texas floods and Trump administration proposals to reform or even eliminate FEMA. Richardson faced criticism for being inaccessible during the floods that ravaged Texas’s Hill Country in July, which killed more than 130 people. The devastation included the deaths of dozens of girls and counselors at Camp Mystic, a Christian youth summer camp. Breaking news: David Richardson resigned as acting head of FEMA. Richardson was known for frequently being inaccessible, including during the early hours of the flood disaster in Texas over the Fourth of July weekend.https://t.co/UiT3slwgdE — The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) November 17, 2025 ABC News has more: In a House Transportation Committee hearing following the deadly flooding in Texas in July, Democrats panned Richardson’s and FEMA’s response. “You’re the leader, but you did not lead, as you are required to by federal law. But worse, you seem uninterested to learn what went wrong and how to respond,” Rep. Greg Stanton, D-Ariz., said. Richardson was on vacation with his two sons during the flooding but he testified that he immediately coordinated a response with Texas officials, the White House and others from his truck. In June, shortly after hurricane season began at the beginning of the month, Richardson told staff in an all-hands that he was unaware it had started, according to sources familiar with the meeting. It was unclear if Richardson was joking, but a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson argued he was.

An Indiana state senator was the victim of a swatting incident Sunday night. “On Sunday November 16th around 5pm an email was sent to the Terre Haute Police Department advising harm had been done to persons inside a home, located in southeastern Vigo County. This information was immediately relayed to the Sheriffs Office, at which point deputies responded to the home, which was the home of Senator Greg Goode,” the Vigo County Sheriff’s Office stated. “Attempts were initially unsuccessful to raise anyone at the residence, but ultimately contact was made with persons inside the home. All persons were secure, safe, and unharmed. Investigation showed that this was a prank or false email (also known as ‘swatting’),” the statement continued. “This evening, my family and I were victims of a swatting incident during which a fake communication was sent to local law enforcement officials,” Goode said in a statement. Civility please. pic.twitter.com/m7WI5SltNU — Gregory J. Goode (@gregoryjgoode) November 17, 2025 More from the Associated Press: Goode, a Republican, wrote on social media that the responding deputies were “under the impression of a domestic violence emergency.” He thanked the deputies for acting professionally. “While this entire incident is unfortunate and reflective of the volatile nature of our current political environment, I give thanks to God that my family and I are ok,” Goode wrote. Earlier Sunday, Trump criticized Goode and Indiana Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray for opposing a redistricting plan for Indiana. Republicans already hold a 7-2 advantage in the state’s congressional delegation. “Targeting elected officials and their families in their homes or private lives has no place in Indiana and the Indiana State Police are working closely with state and federal authorities to bring the criminals behind the attack on Senator Goode to justice. I am grateful Sen. Goode and his family are safe,” Indiana Gov. Mike Braun said in a statement, according to WTHR. “Protecting the rights of all Hoosiers to safely engage in political debate is one of my fundamental duties as Governor and the Indiana State Police will continue working closely with the Indiana General Assembly to ensure the safety and security of our elected officials,” he added. The Vigo County Sheriff's Office said an email was sent to the Terre Haute Police Department indicating a domestic violence emergency happened at the senator's home — but it was all false.https://t.co/6BYOPmxX5t  (: Adobe Stock) pic.twitter.com/GWNT9sfOEB — WTHR.com (@WTHRcom) November 17, 2025 WTHR noted: The sheriff’s office said further details will not be released as the investigation is ongoing. “A false or prank call of this nature will never be acceptable,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement. “Not only do calls like this waste and reduce resources of deputies serving and protecting other parts of our county, they have a negative impact on the victim and their families as well. Our office along with federal authorities will investigate this incident with every intention of discovering who is responsible.”
