Session 2 is done. The deal is alive. October 6 is 36 days away. Families are greeting hostages at Israeli hospitals. 469 people died in a river valley in Nepal. Two beloved people died this week — a king and a country music legend. Labor Day weekend has begun. This is what September 1, 2026 looks like.
