⚖️ JUDGE TEMPORARILY HALTS ARCH CONSTRUCTION
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan issued a 14-day temporary restraining order halting construction of President Donald Trump's proposed arch, NBC News reported.
A 250-foot arch is proposed near the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery.
The National Capital Planning Commission had voted 8-4 to approve the project.
Virginia's attorney general's office said the order was secured just before midnight Thursday, Nov. 5. It bars construction at Memorial Circle.
The temporary order pauses construction. It is not a final decision on the merits of the case.

🗳️ MISSISSIPPI SENATE RACE REMAINS UNCALLED
Mississippi's U.S. Senate race remained uncalled Friday.
ABC News unofficial results at 7:37 p.m. Central showed Democrat Scott Colom with 467,930 votes, or 49.1%, and Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith with 465,356, or 48.8%.
About 97% of the expected vote was reported. The figures are not certified results, and the remaining count could change the margin.

⚖️ NEWSOM MOVES TO COMMUTE DEATH SENTENCES
California Gov. Gavin Newsom moved to commute the death sentences of all 548 state prisoners awaiting execution to life in prison without parole, his office announced Thursday.
The proposal would not release anyone, make anyone eligible for parole, pardon anyone or change an underlying conviction or restitution order, the governor's office said.
Required legal steps must be completed before the commutations take effect. For people twice convicted of felonies, the state Constitution requires California Supreme Court review.
California's last execution was Jan. 17, 2006, according to the governor's office.
