A good night for Democrats so far. In Virginia, Abigail
Spanberger is the projected winner of that state's governor's race,
and she already gave her acceptance speech.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
You all chose leadership that will focus relentlessly on what
matters most, lowering costs, keeping our communities safe, and strengthening
our economy for every Virginian.

not wanting to tap into an emergency fund any further
to pay court ordered Snap benefits.

The recipients of the staff benefits need to understand it's
going to take some time to receive this money.

the plane hit two businesses on the ground. NBC's Tom
Costello reports the jet appeared to be on fire as
it went down the runway with thirty eight thousand gallons

(01:29):
of fuel.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
There's been the shelter in place order for in a
five mile radius because you've got just a massive amount
of jet fuel that's on fire right now. That's a
toxin on top of that. We don't know if there
were any hazardous materials on board that plane that could
also be a toxin.

in the next few years. Temi Trhiel reports.

that political violence is justified in some cases. I believe
held more often by younger people.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Conservative activist Laura Lumer is receiving credentials to cover the
Department of War. She confirmed the news in a social
media post where Lumer said that her work has quote
had a massive impact on the landscape of personal decisions
within the executive branch, our intelligence agencies and the Pentagon
end quote. Her press credentials come despite clashing with Secretary

(02:52):
of War Pete Hegseath and having a history of going
after allies of President Trump. The Pentagon has implemented sweeping
changes to its media policies, but a variety of news

but it may not actually be that important for adults.
A new study finds that adults who skipped breakfasts were
just as capable of problem solving and paying attention as

(03:52):
meal did perform a little worse while looking at pictures
of food. Children, on the other hand, still get a
boost from breakfast. The study was published in the journal
Psychological Bulletin. I'm Jim Rupe.
