Good Morning! On this day in 1792, the cornerstone of the White House was laid at the site chosen by President George Washington and Pierre Charles L'Enfant, city planner for the nation's new capital.

Paris lost a piece of its soul this week. The Marché Couvert des Enfants Rouges had been feeding the city since 1615, surviving revolutions, two world wars, and a 1990s plan to replace it with a parking garage. A fire took it in a single night. We have details below. Have you ever been to Paris? Vote in today’s Poll Position.

How many benefits come with the credit card in your wallet? Buried in the benefits guide that most cardholders never open are protections that can be worth real money. One can cover your hotel and meals when a flight strands you overnight, another the phone in your pocket. But the coverage only counts if you know it’s there, and plenty of people don’t. In one survey, almost 40% of cardholders had no idea they carried the benefit at No. 1 on our list. So what’s already on your card, and how do you use your perks? Ayla has the full story on today’s episode of The Flyover Podcast. Tune in here!

If you haven't compared your car insurance in a while, there's a good chance you're paying more than you need to. Even if you checked rates a year ago, the market has changed. That's why today's sponsor, Insurify, makes it easy to compare quotes from more than 120 insurers in just a few minutes.

FAA Warns Airlines Off Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia was hit by another wave of Houthi missile and drone strikes on Monday, two days after attacks on Riyadh’s airport killed 14 people, including an American, and wounded more than 300.

Newly released surveillance video shows travelers waiting in line when the terminal exploded on Oct. 10. The airport has been hit four times in five days and is closed through Oct. 17.

The FAA warned U.S. airlines to use caution over Saudi airspace through Dec. 10, and Delta delayed its debut Atlanta-Riyadh flight from this month to March.

Saudi Arabia’s energy minister vowed a “serious” response, and President Trump said over the weekend the U.S. may join in.

Federal Agents Raid Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Home

Federal agents searched the Washington home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., early Monday as part of a criminal investigation. Sources say it centers on the Minnesota Democrat’s immigration paperwork, filled out by her late father when she was a child.

Homeland Security Investigations, the criminal arm of ICE, carried out the court-approved search. The Justice Department called it “part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.” Omar has not been charged.

Omar, who became a citizen in 2000, called the raid political intimidation and said, “I will not be silenced.” House Democrat leaders called it “deeply disturbing.”

The search comes three weeks before the midterm elections. Border czar Tom Homan first confirmed a criminal probe involving Omar last month.

Fire Destroys Paris’s 400-Year-Old Market

A fire tore through Paris’s oldest covered food market before dawn Monday, leaving nothing standing. Le Marché Couvert des Enfants Rouges was founded in 1615 and named for the red-clad orphans at a hospital next door.

It took 150 firefighters to control the blaze in the crowded Haut Marais district. The steel-and-glass structure partially collapsed, and about 20 traders lost their stalls. One firefighter suffered mild injuries.

The market survived the French Revolution, two world wars, and a 1990s plan to replace it with a parking garage. Food & Wine ranked it the fifth-best food market in the world this year. The cause is under investigation.

Officials say traders will get temporary locations while the city decides whether to rebuild. The local mayor: “We’re devastated.”

Your Insurance Rate Might Be Higher Than It Should Be

A lot can change in a year. Insurance companies constantly adjust their pricing, and the company that offered you the best rate last time may no longer be the most competitive.

Instead of calling multiple companies or filling out the same information over and over, Insurify lets you compare personalized quotes from more than 120 insurance providers in one place. The process is free, takes just a few minutes, and could help you find the same coverage for less.

Many drivers simply renew their policy every six months without checking what else is available. A quick comparison could be one of the easiest ways to lower a monthly bill.

Compare your rates with Insurify today and see if you could save.
