Nov. 17, 2025, 12:02 AM ESTBy Linda Takahashi and Dennis RomeroThe body of a girl swept into the Pacific amid high surf was found Sunday off the Central California coast, not far from where her father, who also died, tried to save her.The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office said a diver discovered her body shortly after 1 p.m. Sunday 100 yards offshore about a half-mile north of her last known location in the water.The office confirmed the body is that of the girl, and it said after having spoken with family members that she is 7, not 5, as it initially reported. Her name has not been released.Shortly before 1 p.m. Friday, a wave pulled the girl from the shoreline into the water near Garrapata State Beach, about 12 miles south of Carmel-by-the-Sea, the sheriff’s office said. The surf at the time was estimated at 15 to 20 feet.Her father, identified as Yuji Hu, 39, of Calgary, went into the water after her, but both were swept farther out to sea, authorities have said. An off-duty California State Parks lifeguard pulled Hu from the water and administered CPR before Hu was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said.The girl’s mother, who was not identified, also went into the water to help, authorities said. She made it back to land with the lifeguard’s help, state and local agencies said. She was released from a hospital after treatment for mild hypothermia, the sheriff’s office said Sunday.A 2-year-old who was with the family was not injured, it said.”The family has expressed their gratitude to all agencies, personnel, and community members involved in the search and recovery efforts,” the office said. In a separate storm-related incident, a 71-year-old man in Sutter County died when his car was swept away by overflowing stormwater along Pleasant Grove Creek on Friday afternoon, according to the California Highway Patrol.The agency said in a statement that signs warning the road is flooded were posted at the location before the incident.The roiling sea and big waves along the Central Coast in Monterey County were associated with the weekend’s winter-pattern storm that dove down California’s coast.The National Weather Service warned beachgoers along the Central Coast that double- and triple-overhead surf was looming and that “sneaker waves” known to strike dry sand with little notice were possible Friday. The storm, which moved east Sunday, flooded some Southern California streets, triggered sliding vehicle collisions, and produced more than 12 inches of rain at San Marcos Pass in Santa Barbara County, according to the National Weather Service. Santa Barbara County took in nearly half its average annual rainfall of 17 inches with the weekend storm, according to National Weather Service data.Linda TakahashiDennis RomeroDennis Romero is a breaking news reporter for NBC News Digital.

Nov. 5, 2025, 1:36 AM ESTBy The Politics DeskWelcome to a special-post election edition of From the Politics Desk, a newsletter that brings you the NBC News Politics team’s latest reporting and analysis from the White House, Capitol Hill and the campaign trail.Sign up to receive this newsletter in your inbox every weekday here.Democrats sweep the first major elections of 2025Democrats scored a series of victories across the country Tuesday on the first major Election Day of President Donald Trump’s second term. The NBC News Exit Poll found that voters in Virginia, New Jersey, New York City and California expressed broad dissatisfaction with Trump. Most voters in those elections were also sour on the direction of the country as they expressed worries about financial issues and the economy.Even though voters generally did not hold positive views of either party, Democratic campaigns were able to capitalize on other areas of concern, giving the party a desperately needed boost one year out from the midterms. Here are the most notable results from the night:Virginia: Democrat Abigail Spanberger defeated Republican Winsome Earle-Sears to flip control of the state’s governorship, setting her up to become the first woman to lead the state.Democrats found success across the board in Virginia. Jay Jones won the election for Virginia attorney general, overcoming a text message scandal that threatened to derail his candidacy in the final stretch of the race. State Sen. Ghazala Hashmi became the first Muslim American woman elected to statewide office in the U.S. with her victory in the lieutenant governor’s race. And the party expanded its majority in the state House of Delegates. New Jersey: Democrats won the other governor’s race of the evening, with Rep. Mikie Sherrill defeating Republican Jack Ciattarelli after a race she worked to make a referendum on Trump. New York City: Democrat Zohran Mamdani won the mayoral race, after the 34-year-old democratic socialist energized progressives around the country. In his victory speech after vanquishing former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Mamdani claimed a broad mandate and set himself up in direct opposition to Trump, who made a late endorsement against him. “In this moment of political darkness, New York will be the light,” Mamdani said.California: Voters approved a new congressional map drawn by state Democrats, giving the party the chance to gain up to five House seats next year and counter Republican redistricting efforts in other states.Pennsylvania: Voters approved the retention of three Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices, preserving Democrats’ 5-2 majority on the battleground state’s high court. The rest: Maine will soon become the 22nd state to have an “extreme risk protection” gun law, also known as a “red flag law” — part of a slew of state ballot measures voters around the country considered, on issues from raising taxes on higher earners to parental rights and voting rules.The GOP’s view: No one thought Tuesday was going to be Trump’s election night, but there were even fewer silver linings than many Republicans had hoped, Matt Dixon, Henry J. Gomez, Jonathan Allen and Garrett Haake report. Still, Republicans were brushing aside the off-year races as aberrations that aren’t predictive of the 2026 midterms.

Nov. 13, 2025, 12:00 PM ESTBy Doha MadaniAriana Grande was rushed by a man ahead of the premiere of “Wicked: For Good” in Singapore on Thursday, appearing frightened as co-star Cynthia Erivo and security rushed to intervene. The man who rushed Grande, Johnson Wen, posted the video to his own Instagram account where he thanked Grande for “letting” him jump on to the carpet. Wen has an Instagram account under the name Pyjama Man man where he posts about rushing concert stages and sporting events. But it did not appear that Grande was aware of the situation in the video, looking scared as the man ran towards her and put his arm around her while she stood beside her “Wicked” co-star Michelle Yeoh. Cynthia Erivo, the film’s co-headliner, immediately jumped into action across the two women and tried to pry Wen off of Grande as security moved toward them. Yeoh also appeared to put her arms around Grande to pull her away from the man. Videos posted by others online showed that Erivo seemed to move positions on the carpet to ensure Grande walked in between her and Yeoh.Representatives for the “Wicked” film franchise did not immediately respond to a request for comment. “Wicked” For Good” is being released by Universal Pictures, which is owned by NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News. Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande discuss upcoming ‘Wicked: For Good’01:44Fans of Grande offered a fierce defense of the singer in the comments of Wen’s Instagram video, with some describing it as an assault on Grande. Commenters also called on others to report the man’s account.Some of Grande’s fans pointed out that the singer has experienced prior trauma at events, referencing the 2017 bombing of her concert in Manchester where 22 people were killed. Grande, who says she’s always dealt with anxiety, told British Vogue in 2018 that she dealt with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder after the attack. “After all the trauma Ari has been through, this is beyond disrespectful,” one commenter wrote. “Not just to her, but to the cast and to all the fans. It’s literally infuriating. You should be ashamed.”Wen has posted videos of himself crashing concert stages, including at Katy Perry and The Weeknd shows, as well as rushing the fields at sporting events. In a message to NBC News, Wen described himself as a “mega fan” of Grande and that he was “happy” to meet her.”I dreamed about meeting her and now my dreams became true,” he wrote. He did not respond to a request for comment on the backlash he’s facing online or that he might have scared Grande through his actions.
