Nearby: Bryan, TXA nationwide ground stop ordered by the Federal Aviation Administration on Friday afternoon disrupted thousands of flights across the country, leaving the University of Tennessee football team stranded in Knoxville ahead of Saturday’s Southeastern Conference matchup against Texas A&M.

The agency cited extraordinary circumstances and safety concerns in ordering aircraft awaiting departure to remain on the ground.

Nearby: Washington, TXDemocratic U.S. senator-elect James Talarico told reporters last week after his decisive win over Republican Ken Paxton that his win was not so much a partisan triumph as a call for something different in Washington, The Dallas Morning News reported. Talarico said his winning coalition was united by economic frustration and a desire for change. “People across the political spectrum are hungry for a different kind of politics. Not a politics of hate, not a politics of fear, not a politics of division, but a politics of love,” he said. When asked if Democrats should concentrate on legislative priorities or investigating the Trump administration, he rejected it as a false choice. “Our top priority has to be delivering for the people of Texas, for the people of this country,” Talarico said. “They didn’t send us to Washington for political retribution.” Talarico’s six-year term as the state’s first Democratic U.S. senator in more than 30 years begins when he is sworn in on Jan. 3.

Nearby: Washington, TXDonald Trump’s Republican Party has received a stunning rebuke in the US midterm elections. Republicans went into the evening hoping that the polls might be wrong and that they could at least cling on to control of the Senate. But by midnight in Washington, the GOP was staring down what looked like its worst defeat in 50 years. Republican losses were not just confined to the type of swing districts that parties usually worry about on election night. The scale of the losses was staggering. They lost Senate seats in deep red states such as Texas and South Carolina. They lost districts they had gerrymandered and in which they were supposed to be unbeatable. They lost seats that even the sharpest analysts thought were safe. Why? For months, surveys have shown that voters are fed up with high prices, with the war in Iran, and with what is increasingly being talked about as the Trump administration’s corruption.

Nearby: Washington, TXGraphic by Maria Clara Cruz Located in Washington, D.C., the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has recently become a source of conflict between the Trump administration and the U.S. District Court, becoming an ongoing discussion of whether or not President Trump’s name will be permanently added to the exterior wall of the memorial. Built in honor of former President John F. Kennedy, the center itself is an institution of national significance. Known for his love of the arts, President Kennedy was well known for inviting artists from various disciplines to the White House during his presidency. When the idea for a cultural center in the nation’s capitol was first proposed in 1962, the president and the first lady launched a $30 million campaign in support of the project. President Johnson would later contribute to the campaign as well, demonstrating bipartisan interest in the project.

Nearby: Georgetown, TXLAMPASAS, Texas — Standing at the edge of his family’s 300-acre cattle ranch in Central Texas, Clayton Tucker is characteristically attired in a white Stetson western hat, a beige shirt with pearl snaps, and lightly faded Wrangler jeans. At 35, Tucker is poised to become the first Democrat in more than three decades to serve as Texas agriculture commissioner, a post from which he will oversee policies affecting much of rural Texas. The last Democrat to serve as agriculture commissioner left office in January of 1991— a month before Tucker was born. Tucker, who takes office in January, benefitted from the Democratic wave that swept across Texas and other states in the midterm elections, propelled by widespread disenchantment with Republican policies, both in the cities and on the farm.
