Senate Democrats’ focus for the next three weeks? Judges, judges, judges. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has vowed to use his remaining time controlling the floor to fill judicial vacancies, adding to the 220 that the upper chamber has confirmed through Joe Biden’s presidency. Senate Republicans are throwing roadblocks in their way — forcing full roll calls to proceed with votes, for example — but have been hampered by absences. Therefore, Democrats have been able to confirm numerous judges, and Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Jacky Rosen (D-NV) have voted yes on the more than 20 judicial vacancy-related votes the Senate has held since the election, from ending debate on various nominees to their actual confirmations.

College football was dominated by flags on Saturday. Not the ones thrown by officials — the ones planted by players in the middle of the field.

Not surprisingly, there were plenty of football awards to go around on fall sports awards night in the revamped Pershing County High School auditorium Tuesday, Nov. 26.
