- There's a 48 hour extension of the pause in fighting in Gaza. I really didn't think both sides would be able to pull this off.
- I can't believe this actually happened. He has begun his 30 day sentence after being convicted last month in a trial in Montague County.
- A "tribute service" for Rosalyn Carter is today. I came across this photo and caption yesterday: "Here at a Kentucky Derby party in 1983 with Hillary Clinton, John Y. Brown Jr., Ivana and Donald Trump."

- Fun fact of the day:
- Breaking: "Hunter Biden’s lawyers have told the House Oversight Committee that the president’s son is willing to testify on December 13 in their inquiry into his actions." What a relief. I've been staying up at nights worrying about that laptop.
