It's "sick" that the U.S. still allows the purchase of semi-automatic firearms, President Joe Biden said Thursday, while renewing his push to ban assault weapons.
President Biden said Thursday that negotiations between the U.S. and its allies over imposing a price cap on Russian oil are ongoing and confirmed that he had spoken to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen about the issue.
What they're saying: "It's in play," Biden told reporters while visiting a fire station in Nantucket,Massachusetts, per a White House pool report.
E. Jean Carroll, a writer who has alleged former President Trump raped her in the mid-1990s, filed an upgraded lawsuit against him on Thursday, AP reports.
Why it matters: The new lawsuit was filed minutes after the Adult Survivors Act, a law that allows adult survivors of sexual violence to sue over attacks that occurred decades ago, went into effect.
We live in a world where bombastic CEOs, loudmouth politicians and Twitter tantrums often command our attention online.
Why it matters: Let’s give thanks that most people in our real lives are ... normal. They work, they give, they help, they live quietly and generously.
Look for a voluminous final report from the House Jan. 6 committee in mid-December — I'm told to expect around 1,000 pages.
Why it matters: The committee has exceeded expectations, hearing by hearing — turning up constant new information about one of American history's most consequential, but also most documented, events.

Hundreds of Axios readers sent us reflections on gratitude this Thanksgiving. We're inspired by the humility, resilience and love in their stories.

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) said Wednesday his administration will ensure a smooth transition to Democratic Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs, even as the defeated Republican candidate Kari Lake refuses to concede.
Driving the news: "All of us have waited patiently for the democratic process to play out. The people of Arizona have spoken, their votes have been counted and we respect their decision," Ducey said in a statement after meeting with Hobbs more than a week after her win was clear.
Donald Trump and his allies have ramped up their war against newly appointed special counsel Jack Smith, reviving a playbook they hope will defang the latest unprecedented legal threat bearing down on the former president.
Why it matters: This isn't 2017. The political and legal conditions that allowed Trump to emerge virtually unscathed from Robert Mueller's Russia investigation no longer apply. No amount of mudslinging — or claims he "won't partake" in the investigation — will protect Trump from indictment if Smith determines he has the goods.
