Good Morning! On this day in 1918, the guns of World War I fell silent at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Congress renamed Armistice Day as Veterans Day in 1954 to honor Americans who served in every war.

Happy Veterans Day. To everyone who wore the uniform, and to the families who waited at home, thank you. This country is what it is because of you. If you served, or someone you love did, reply and tell us which branch. We'd love to hear your story.

Think about everything you do for your car. The oil changes, the premium gas, and the long warm-up on frosty mornings. Some of those habits keep you safe, and some just keep the service bay busy. Today we’re counting down the five car habits that truly protect you, and the five that only drain your wallet. One of them costs American drivers more than $2 billion a year. So which side is your routine on? All of that and more on The Flyover Podcast. Tune in here!

Today’s sponsor, Noor, explores the hormonal changes behind thinning hair after 50 and shares a menopause specialist’s approach to supporting fuller-looking hair.

First Snow of the Season Is on the Way

The first snowflakes of the season are expected late this week in the interior Northeast, with upstate New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire most likely to see them as a storm system moves toward the Northeast.

The big cities get a soaking instead. Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Washington are in line for a cold, windy rain, heaviest late Thursday into Friday morning, with street flooding possible in New York. Mountain roads from West Virginia to the Adirondacks could turn slick.

Then comes the cold, starting today. Temperatures will run 20 to 25 degrees below normal from the Canadian border to the Gulf Coast, with wind chills near freezing in Chicago and Atlanta and a first hard freeze, cold enough to kill unprotected plants, in parts of the South.

It won’t last. Forecasters expect warmer-than-normal temperatures to return to the East next week.

House GOP Picks Jim Jordan as New Leader

House Republicans elected Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan of Ohio as their next leader yesterday, 106 to 73 over Majority Leader Steve Scalise in a closed-door secret ballot.

Jordan, a Freedom Caucus co-founder, will serve as minority leader when Democrats take control of the House in January. Scalise had been the No. 2 House Republican since 2014.

The vote is a rematch of the two men’s 2023 battle for speaker, when Scalise won the nomination but withdrew a day later and Jordan’s own bid fell short on the floor. Speaker Mike Johnson stepped aside after last week’s losses and did not run.

“His ability to communicate is really kind of unrivaled by anybody else in the House right now,” said Rep. Scott Fitzgerald of Wisconsin, a Jordan ally. Jordan will lead the Republican response as Democrats prepare investigations of the Trump administration.

Russia, Ukraine Hold First Talks in Months

Russian and Ukrainian negotiators met in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, yesterday for their first U.S.-mediated talks since February, with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner leading the American delegation.

The session ran about four hours and focused on prisoner exchanges, the return of Ukrainian civilians and children, and security guarantees. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called it “very productive” but cautioned, “There’s a lot of work to be done in that regard.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the session “constructive and quite substantive.” Moscow and Kyiv remain far apart on territory, NATO membership, and limits on Ukraine’s military.

Talks resume today for a second day, with a large-scale prisoner swap reportedly under discussion.

The Hormone Behind Thinning Hair After 50 (It’s Not Just a Men’s Problem)

If your part has been widening, your ponytail feels thinner, or more hair is collecting in the shower drain, you’re not imagining it.

According to a menopause specialist, when estrogen drops after 50, the relative balance of a hormone called DHT rises. And DHT is known for one thing: shrinking hair follicles.

That’s why so many women who never had hair trouble in their 30s and 40s suddenly see it later. It’s also why thickening shampoos and biotin gummies often disappoint. They don’t address what’s happening at the follicle.

The good news? She says many of those follicles aren’t gone, just dormant.

Her approach skips the serums and foams entirely. It’s two capsules a day, built around a mineral pairing many women over 50 run low on.

The Missing Nutrient Behind Thin Hair

After 50, many women run low on one mineral that helps keep DHT, a hair-thinning hormone, in check.

Biotin won’t fix that. Neither will another bottle of thickening shampoo.

A menopause specialist and an Austin hairstylist found that pairing this mineral with one B vitamin, plus three other targeted nutrients, may help support fuller, stronger-looking hair from the inside out. No serums, no foams. Just two capsules with your morning coffee.
