Indigenous-led group receives Cape Cod plot taken from Native Americans centuries ago The property overlooks First Encounter Beach, the site where Pilgrims from the Mayflower first came face-to-face with a local Native tribe. By Dana Hedgpeth November 10, 2026 at 11:30 a.m. EST A view of the 120 acres in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, that the Native Land Conservancy will own. (Courtesy of the Native Land Conservancy) More than 400 years after Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower ship first came face-to-face with a local Native American tribe, the Nauset, on Cape Cod Bay in Massachusetts, a roughly 120-acre parcel overlooking the site has been transferred to an Indigenous-led conservation group.

They Talk Peace in Abu Dhabi. Ukraine Still Lives Under the Bombs. The first three-way talks in nine months began today. Until the bombs stop, the people of Ukraine need us more than ever as winter closes in. Lev Parnas Nov 10 My dear Voice from Ukraine family, Before anything else tonight, I want to say thank you. Thank you on behalf of the people of Ukraine, on behalf of Oleksandr, and on behalf of every child and every family you have helped through this platform. What you give means more than the supplies themselves. When a family in Ukraine knows that people across the world still stand with them, it gives them hope. And hope is what carries people through another night of sirens. Today, for the first time in nine months, Russia, Ukraine and the United States sat down together in Abu Dhabi. Donald Trump’s envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner , brought the two sides together for nearly four hours, and the talks continue tomorrow. President Zelensky called the first day “constru...

File photo MIDDLEBORO — When Sarah Hewins went to sleep in the early hours of Nov. 4, the Democrat trailed John Gaskey (R-Carver) heavily in the vote count. Gaskey, the incumbent state representative for the 2nd Plymouth district, won Carver and the district’s three Middleboro precincts. When she woke up later that morning, Wareham results had been reported and she had taken the lead by 89 votes . “If anyone ever doubted that every vote matters, this is evidence that it does,” Hewins said. Hewins, who lives in Carver, had run for the seat in 2016 and 2018 and launched a late write-in campaign against Gaskey in 2024. She said she had tried not to get her hopes up too high but was pleasantly surprised with...

  Today in Politics, Bulletin 500. 11/10/26 Ron Filipkowski Nov 10 ∙ … These Bulletins started exactly one week after the 2024 election with Bulletin #1 and here we are at #500. My how much has changed since then. I started these at a very low time for all of us, but I was determined to detail, chronicle and document every aspect of what was about to happen because I knew how bad it was going to be. … It was difficult a lot of the time. Obviously most of the news for quite a while was really bad, and with Democrats in the minority it was tough to highlight their accomplishments - although I certainly tried to find silver linings whenever possible. I know these can sometimes be exhausting to read because there is so much, but hopefully you have found being a hyper-informed citizen beneficial. … If you read these every day, you truly know a mountain of important information about a wide spectrum of issues related to politics. I do my very best to consume a huge amount of news from a ...
