|  | Sunday, January 18, 2026 | | | Good Morning! On this day in 1803, President Thomas Jefferson requested $2,500 from Congress to fund the Lewis and Clark expedition. A vast area of the land the expedition surveyed and explored eventually became part of the Louisiana Purchase. Few TV characters endured the career arc of Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli, who began as a supporting cast member on the 1970s sitcom Happy Days. "The Fonz" became the show's unquestioned centerpiece before eventually "jumping the shark" both literally and figuratively.

Tim Walz (D) and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D), accusing them of impeding federal immigration enforcement through public statements they have made. The investigation comes during a weekslong immigration crackdown in Minneapolis and St. Paul in which the Department of Homeland Security has made more than 2,500 arrests. Part of the focus has been on a growing welfare fraud scandal involving some members of the state’s Somali community. Frey described the report of an investigation as “an obvious attempt to intimidate.” As of Thursday, ICE held about 73,000 individuals facing deportation in its custody across the country, the highest level recorded by the agency in its 23-year history. | House Probing Omar's $30 Million Net Worth The House Oversight Committee is probing Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar (D), who reported a net worth of close to $30 million in her latest financial disclosure. The Minnesota lawmaker and her husband, Tim Mynett, experienced a roughly 3,500% increase in net worth last year, compared to 2023, according to the disclosure. Investment firm Rose Lake Capital, formed by Mynett and partner Will Hailer in 2022, had $42.44 in its bank account in late 2022, but the firm’s value grew to $25 million in one year, according to Omar’s 2024 filing. Rose Lake boasts on its website that it does private equity work and that its officers had billions in “previous” assets under management. House Oversight panel Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) said, “There are a lot of questions as to how her husband accumulated so much wealth over the past two years. It’s not possible. It’s not. I’m a money guy. It’s not possible.” | List: Best Weekend Getaways in Each State A list of the best weekend getaways in every state offers options for an ideal 48-hour escape, from quiet shorelines and walkable towns to mountain trails and resorts with beach or pool choices.

(More) | | | | Whatever happened to The Fonz? In the early seasons of ABC-TV’s Happy Days, Arthur “Fonzie” Fonzarelli isn’t supposed to be the point. He’s a side character: a leather-jacketed, soft-spoken greaser who drifts through Arnold’s Drive-In like a local weather system—cool, unpredictable, and, at first, slightly dangerous. But audiences didn’t treat him like seasoning. They treated him like the meal. The show, built to spotlight Richie Cunningham’s clean-cut coming-of-age, slowly rotated on its axis until it orbited the Fonz. That was actor Henry Winkler’s first big step to fame: a supporting player who became pop culture’s shorthand for confidence, charisma, and a kind of American myth of cool. Here’s his appearance in the first episode. By the mid-to-late 1970s, the transformation was complete: Happy Days was a hit, Fonzie was its rocket fuel, and the ratings peaked accordingly. Then came the moment that would outlive the series itself: Sept. 20, 1977, when Fonzie—wearing swim trunks and, yes, his leather jacket—waterskied and jumped over a shark. The scene didn’t instantly sink the show, but it crystallized a feeling: the sense that a once-effortless phenomenon was now reaching for spectacle. Years later, fans would coin a phrase from it—“jump the shark”—to describe any story that’s run past its best. For Winkler, escaping Fonzie’s shadow took longer than the ride to Hollywood. He didn’t disappear; he diversified—producing, directing, popping up in comedies, and eventually landing a career-defining late peak as Gene Cousineau on HBO’s Barry, which won him an Emmy in 2018. Today, he’s still working—hosting Hazardous History and lining up new film roles—proof that one iconic character can be a trap… or a launchpad, if you keep moving. Were you a Fonzie fan?
