Milei replaces Cabinet chief, seeking fresh start with Congress
Argentine President Javier Milei announced on Friday that his former spokesman Manuel Adorni would take over as the new Cabinet chief. The decision comes as the libertarian leader works to strengthen cooperation with Congress after a significant midterm victory last Sunday.
Adorni steps in for Guillermo Francos, who resigned via a social media post, marking the first major restructuring within Milei’s inner circle.
Raiders fall short against Broncos
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith endured a tough evening against a relentless Denver Broncos defense. He was sacked six times in a 10–7 loss, though the team had chances to turn the game around. Costly penalties and a missed field goal proved decisive.
Despite suffering a bruised quad, Smith remained in play, throwing for 143 yards with one interception. The Raiders missed a late field goal that could have tied the match, dropping their record to 2–7 this season.
Smith emphasized that the team must “play clean football and avoid mistakes” to find success.
