Good morning!🙋🏼♀️ I'm Nicole Fallert. Are your friends "separate checks" people?
Quick look at Tuesday's news: -
Two years of war have changed Israel, Gaza — and the world.
National Guard troops can deploy to Illinois at least until Thursday.
"Keep it 100" with a "Showgirl" dance.
Israel is isolated. Gaza is decimated.
Tuesday marks two years since Hamas' Oct. 7 assault on Israel — and two years of tumult and change have indelibly changed the region, experts say. The attacks that took 1,200 lives Oct. 7 and the military response that has devastated Gaza have contributed to the ouster of a regime in Syria, a setback to the nuclear program in Iran, the isolation of Israel in the world and the testing of Trump's hopes of winning a Nobel Peace Prize. In Gaza, the Hamas-run health ministry says more than 66,000 people have been killed — about half of them women and children — and humanitarian agencies now warn of famine. And it's not clear whether the next moment would bring a ceasefire or an intensified war.
Path to peace? What's next for Trump's 20-point plan for a ceasefire in Gaza and a reconstruction campaign.
Could the shutdown impact your flight?
No ... but expect potential delays. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the ongoing government shutdown is adding stress to already overworked and understaffed air traffic controllers as some areas have seen an uptick in controllers calling in sick. The nation's airspace remains safe, Duffy said, but some air traffic control facilities were missing as many as 50% of employees on any given day since the shutdown started last week. Duffy warned that understaffed facilities could result in flight delays and cancellations as the Federal Aviation Administration limits capacity through some sectors of the airspace. Meanwhile, controllers, who are not being paid, are worried about how to pay their bills while keeping the airspace safe.

National Guard Whac-a-mole
President Donald Trump said Monday he may invoke the Insurrection Act to send the military to U.S. cities if judges block his deployment of National Guard troops.
Why he's saying this: Trump's statement came as hundreds of California National Guardsmen are in limbo at a Portland military base as he and Democratic leaders wage a feverish legal battle over his attempts to deploy troops in American cities.
Trump's Portland deployment set up a legal fight. After Gov. Tina Kotek, a Democrat, filed suit, a federal judge temporarily shut down the deployment Oct. 4.
Then the Trump administration took up a new strategy — switch states. Hours after the judge barred the Oregon troops, Trump tapped California guardsmen for the same job. That prompted California Gov. Gavin Newsom to join Kotek's lawsuit in an attempt to take back control of his state's troops. The administration also ordered Texas troops to Portland and Chicago.
What are the guard doing in U.S. cities? Many sent to Los Angeles have have gone home. Others in D.C. are assigned to pick up trash and help out with soup kitchens, among other "beautification" projects. Some in cities like Memphis or Chicago are ordered to assist immigration enforcement.
What's at stake for minors in conversion therapy case
The Supreme Court on Oct. 7 will debate whether Colorado's ban on "conversion therapy" for gay or transgender minors violates the free speech rights of a licensed counselor. The counselor, who has the support of the Trump administration, says she's engaging in voluntary "conversations" with clients and there's no evidence that her approach is harmful. State officials say evidence shows trying to change someone's sexual orientation or gender identity doesn't work and can lead to depression, anxiety, loss of faith and suicidality. Here's what you about one of the most high-profile cases the court will consider this term.
