Legal experts weighed in on President Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter. This chilly weather will be sticking around for a while − I've even got a hoodie and socks on with my sandals here in Central Florida! And all the deals are live on Cyber Monday. |
👋 Hey pals! Laura Davis here. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving! We sure did over here. My sister made a delicious turkey, we had no emergencies and there were plenty of deviled eggs to go around! By the way, if you still have any leftovers, their time is pretty much up. Now, let's get caught up on Monday's news! |
But first: A "Season of Peace and Light." 🕊️🎄 The halls of the White House are all decked out for the holiday season in the presidential home. See the photos. |
After repeatedly pledging he wouldn't, President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden on Sunday for any federal crimes "he committed or may have committed" between Jan. 1, 2014, through the end of this year. Hunter Biden was convicted of federal gun and tax charges in two separate cases earlier this year. |
What they're saying: Biden's pardon of his son was an unusually broad and rare example of executive clemency, according to experts, who even compared it to former President Gerald Ford's pardon of his predecessor, Richard Nixon, who resigned amid the Watergate scandal. 👉 What legal experts say. | President Joe Biden stands with his son Hunter Biden in New Castle, Delaware, on June 11.

Cold snap will hang around |
Brrrr, y'all! Pounding snow and bitter cold continued their assault across the nation's northern tier Monday after dumping 5 feet of snow in some areas of New York state and 3 feet or more in parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan. And the ferocious cold snap is forecast to continue and even intensify by midweek, meteorologists said. |
The more you know: It has been years since the kickoff to meteorological winter (Dec. 1) has started as chilly as this December, AccuWeather said. | Plows work on snow removal around Highmark Stadium ahead of the Buffalo Bills' football game Sunday in Orchard Park, New York.

The votes are in. After tallying more than 37,000 votes from around the globe, the publishing house of the University of Oxford on Monday announced the 2024 Oxford Word of The Year: "brain rot." |
What they're saying: "'Brain rot' speaks to one of the perceived dangers of virtual life, and how we are using our free time," said Casper Grathwohl, President of Oxford Languages. "It feels like a rightful next chapter in the cultural conversation about humanity and technology." 📝 See more words contending for Word of the Year. | Adopted by Gen Z and Gen Alpha, it gained new prominence in 2024, according to Oxford, as a term used to capture concerns about the impact of consuming excessive amounts of "low-quality online content," especially via social media.
