(Senate Television via AP)WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congress certified the election of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on Thursday morning only hours after a violent mob takeover at the Capitol. Vice President Mike Pence was inside the Capitol when rioters knocked down metal barricades. This allowed Congress to resume certifying election results. The FBI has since created an online platform to submit tips related to violent activity at the U.S. Capitol building. Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., who lost her runoff election Tuesday to Raphael Warnock, was among the Republicans in the Senate who changed their minds about challenging the election results.

Florida was on the mind of Donald Trump as the polls closed on Election Night, and the president’s confidence in his home state proved to be accurate.

WASHINGTON - Federal investigators looking into the deadly bridge collapse at Florida International University confirm that a flawed design is to blame for the disaster that killed six people. Additionally, the National Transportation Safety Board determined, during a public meeting held Tuesday, that the failure of all concerned parties to recognize and take action on the threat to public safety led to the deadly pedestrian bridge collapse at FIU on March 15, 2018. There were "failures at all levels" of the collapse that killed six people and injured ten, the NTSB stated. FIU president Mark Rosenberg was at the meeting as the NTSB revealed the university was part of that oversight failure. "All parties had the authority to close the bridge and did not act on that authority," stated Robert L. Sumwalt, chairman of the NTSB.
