This conversation was hosted by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in washington, d. C. Good afternoon. Im the president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. It is heartening to me to see so many people in the room and know there are many watching online.

By redirecting nearly 7. 5 billion in unobligated funds from the inflation reduction act, this funds the food and agriculture and the Commodity Futures Trading Co

We love watching them, playing them, collecting sports memorabilia, and even arguing about our favorite teams and athletes, whether its watching the super bowl with friends, joining an office bracket pool for march madness or stretching out for the turkey trot 5 k races on thanksgiving morning, we love our sports.

Now, to south jersey where police are trying to figure out who killed a mother and a young child overnight in maple shade. The father found his family stabbed to death. Cydney long joins us live from the fox meadow apartments just off of route 73. What have you found out . Reporter i can tell you there are no arrests, no one in custody for questioning at this time.
