A major arctic blast is expected to hit America, and numerous states will experience chilling temperatures, which puts many people at risk of getting frostbite or even hypothermia if they don't take the proper precautions. The Red Cross suggests that people keep the temperature in their houses consistent, open cabinets in kitchens and bathrooms to allow warm air to circulate the pipes, keep the garage closed as much as possible, and even let the faucets drip a little to prevent them from freezing.

President Donald Trump commuted the sentence of David Gentile, a private equity executive who was convicted and sentenced to seven years in prison for a fraud scheme, according to a White House official. Gentile, the former CEO and owner of GPB Capital Holdings, and Jeffry Schneider of Ascendant Capital, were convicted in August 2024 on charges of securities and wire fraud. They were sentenced in May. It does not appear that Schneider’s sentence was commuted.

Gentile is the latest white-collar defendant Trump has given a reprieve, as the president has leaned into his clemency powers in his second term.

The Chicago Bears are an NFL team in the NFC conference. The Chicago Bears are known for being terrible, as they normally don't make the playoffs. They are number 1 in the NFC, though, which means they are on track to have a bye week in the playoffs. The main reason for this new success is with their new head coach, Ben Johnson, who was the Offensive Coordinator for the Detroit Lions last year. The Chicago Bears might make the playoffs for the first time in 5 years.

A boat was bombed for allegedly acquiring cocaine. The first bomb split the boat in half killing most of the people on board, but there were two people who survived. The administration decided to take another strike at the boat to make sure the trafficking would stop for good. Hypothetically the two survivors could have been saved and the bat could've been bombed after that but that's not what Bradley did. This is counted as a war crime to shipwrecked people as if the time being.
