This was awful and made national news. The 16 year old was driving when he fell asleep in Louisiana as the Wills Point family was driving to Disney World. And that 16 year old survived. Both parents were elementary school teachers in Terrell.
- So a deputy's safety check at home where the occupants had not been heard from for "several days" reveals two people dead and another person injured but alive?
- Fun at Love Field. Video.
- In normal times, Gaetz would never be confirmed for AG because of his complete lack of experience. But these aren't normal times. And payments to young women for sex, or even previously lying about it, doesn't move MAGA one iota. I still think he'll be AG one way or another.

- This is the new Secretary of Education who was once upside down as she was about to be pile-driven. Video.
- The Business Second™. The amount of money that AI chipmaker NVIDIA is making is insane. It released its earning for the third quarter yesterday afternoon.
- Legal nerdy stuff. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed a lower court yesterday that had held it wasn't fair to a defendant to have his trial conducted inside a jail building. But the dissent started with a banger and included a photo in the opinion:
