Tammy Baldwin, a Wisconsin congresswoman, also became the first openly gay person elected to the U.S. Senate during last Tuesday’s election.
Sinema had a narrow lead on election night that made the race too close to call, but slowly improved that advantage as more ballots were tallied

Red Dawn Trailer: The North Koreans Are Coming!

The North Koreans are coming, it appears, instead of the USSR in the remake of Red Dawn, the Cold War cult favorite starring Patrick Swayze and Lea Thompson.
Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson star in this reboot, which at least took 28 years to be remade (way more than the new Total Recall or The Amazing Spider-Man).
The 2012 Red Dawn plot is basically the same, in any case.
Get ready for an action adventure pitting the Wolverines – a rag-tag band of handsome and wholesome U.S. teens – against formidable international invaders:
