|  | Wednesday, January 14, 2026 | | | Good Morning! On this day in 2005, the Huygens space probe touched down on the surface of Saturn's largest moon, Titan. It was the most distant spacecraft landing ever on another world, and the only landing on a body in the outer solar system. (See Titan Landing) Today's edition takes a look at two January reset challenges you might want to try: No Buy January, which encourages cutting consumer spending to essentials, and Dry January, a 30-day break from alcohol that doctors say can boost sleep, mood, and overall health. Today's sponsor United States Tungsten Corp is helping revive what was once America's largest tungsten mine—positioning investors to benefit from rising U.S. military demand as the country races to secure critical minerals at home. | | | | House GOP Moves Against Clinton House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer will launch contempt proceedings against former President Bill Clinton next week after he failed to appear for a scheduled deposition Tuesday as part of the panel's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Clinton's attorneys dismissed the subpoena as "invalid" and compared the investigation to the Red Scare probes of the 1950s, while the Clintons wrote that the process was "literally designed to result in our imprisonment." Criminal contempt of Congress carries a maximum penalty of up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000, though not every witness who defies a subpoena is referred for prosecution. Comer said "no one's accusing Bill Clinton of any wrongdoing" but noted Epstein visited the White House at least 17 times during Clinton's presidency and he flew on Epstein's private plane more than 25 times after leaving office. | Trump Cancels All Iran Negotiations President Trump canceled all meetings with Iranian officials on Tuesday and urged protesters to "take over" the country's institutions, saying "help is on its way" as the death toll from anti-government demonstrations reached at least 2,000. The president wrote on Truth Social that those responsible for killing demonstrators "will pay a big price," while his national security team met Tuesday morning to discuss options. Iran has imposed a nationwide internet shutdown that has cut 98.5% of traffic and is systematically crippling the Starlink satellite internet service by using military-grade jammers, reducing performance by up to 80% in parts of the country. Protests have now spread to 606 locations across all 31 Iranian provinces with more than 10,700 people arrested. | Dilbert creator Scott Adams Dies Scott Adams, the cartoonist behind the Dilbert comic strip, died at 68 after battling aggressive prostate cancer. Adams launched the comic strip in 1989, skewering corporate culture with its depiction of a computer programmer navigating the requirements of an absurd workplace. The strip ran for decades until 2023, when many newspapers canceled it after the cartoonist made cultural comments that various publishers deemed unacceptable. Here's a rundown of Adams' controversies. President Trump called him "a fantastic guy" who "bravely fought a long battle against a terrible disease." See some of his best strips here.

(More) | | | Flying together with our sponsor  America's Largest Tungsten Mine Is Finally Back The U.S. military can't live without tungsten, but China controls 84% of the global supply. To combat this threat, the government is banning tungsten imports from adversaries and partnering with domestic mineral operations like United States Tungsten. These new policies are creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity, and United States Tungsten is taking advantage of it. They're reviving what was once America's largest tungsten mine, home to 1 million tons of tungsten worth $450M. That's $450M in instant demand potential, because the U.S. military is actively looking for it. What could make it even more significant is that the U.S. government is one of the most reliable customers in the world. A partnership would increase the likelihood of long-term domestic contracts. Added military spending would only create more of this demand. And good news: the President has called for an even bigger, $1.5T military budget in 2027. You can get a piece of this 1-million-ton mine right before they start digging. Become a United States Tungsten shareholder and get up to 23% bonus shares. | | | | ➤ Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin stepped down yesterday after 19 seasons with the team.
