Georgia Senate runoff between Warnock and Walker growing bitter |
| The extended Senate campaign in Georgia between Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock and his Republican challenger, football legend Herschel Walker, has grown increasingly bitter as their Dec. 6 runoff nears. |
| One thing to know: Because control of the Senate won't hinge on Georgia, the upcoming contest may be quieter — and less expensive — than the runoff in early 2021. |
| • | There will still be plenty of money spent. Both candidates are already putting out new advertisements. And experts say their messaging may get a "degree nastier." | | • | Why Saturday voting got controversial: Georgia counties were allowed to hold early voting this Saturday, but only after a ruling from the Georgia Supreme Court last week on a law that says early in-person voting is not allowed on a Saturday if the Thursday or Friday preceding it is a holiday. | | • | Meanwhile in Arizona: Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake filed a lawsuit against Maricopa County officials, accusing them of breaking election laws. But new state voter fraud units are finding few cases from midterms. | |

Protesters angry at China's lockdowns call for Xi to resign |
| Protesters pushed to the brink by China's strict COVID measures in Shanghai called for the removal of the country's all-powerful leader and clashed with police Sunday as crowds took to the streets in several cities in an astounding challenge to the government. Police forcibly cleared the demonstrators in China's financial capital who called for Xi Jinping's resignation and the end of the Chinese Communist Party's rule — largescale protests are exceedingly rare in China, where public expressions of dissent are routinely stifled — but a direct rebuke of Xi, the country's most powerful leader in decades, is extraordinary.

Anti-LGBTQ rhetoric surged ahead of Club Q shooting |
| Just hours after a gunman opened fire in an LGBTQ nightclub late last weekend, Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert offered her prayers for the five people killed and the dozens of others wounded in the assault. But a report in August that documented a surge in anti-LGBTQ rhetoric on social media by politicians and other public figures named Boebert as one of the worst offenders. Gay-rights activists and their allies say the inflammatory language that politicians and other public figures frequently use to denigrate members of the LGBTQ community creates a hostile environment that fuels anti-gay stigma and can lead to the kind of deadly violence seen at Club Q.

Ukrainian power outages pose early-winter challenges |
| Snow has blanketed much of Ukraine with temperatures hovering around freezing as utility workers scramble to patch a national power system battered by repeated Russian missile and drone strikes. Ukraine power grid operator Ukrenergo said Sunday that electricity producers were supplying about 80% of demand, up from 75% the previous day. Repair crews across Ukraine were scrambling to restore heat, electricity and water services that were severely damaged amid a punishing barrage of Russian missiles targeting infrastructure in recent days.

Russia's devastating strikes on Ukraine's power grid have strained and disrupted the country's health care system, already battered by years of corruption, mismanagement, the COVID-19 pandemic and nine months of war. | | AP | |
