President Biden is expected to travel to Michigan today to join a group of striking auto workers in Wayne County on the picket line in a show of solidarity. The White House said this is the first time a sitting president has visited a picket line in modern times, and he is expected to appear alongside United Auto Workers union president Shawn Fain. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" that Biden is making the visit because he's "deeply pro-worker" and not because he's trying to get ahead of former President Donald Trump, who plans to deliver a speech to union members in a nearby county tomorrow.

In an exclusive interview on TODAY, Bruce Willis' wife, Emma Heming Willis, opened up about how she and her family have been doing since the 68-year-old actor was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia earlier this year. During the emotional chat with Hoda, Heming Willis said it wasn't clear if her husband, with whom she has two young daughters, was aware of his condition. "Dementia is hard," she said. "It's hard on the person diagnosed, it's also hard on the family. And that is no different for Bruce, or myself, or our girls. When they say this is a family disease, it really is."

While sound baths have been around for centuries, their popularity is now rivaling that of yoga and meditation. Practitioners of sound healing use singing bowls, often made of metal or quartz, along with other instruments like gongs or tiny cymbals, which make a unique sound and powerful vibration. Tamara Goldsby, a research psychologist at the University of California, San Diego, said research shows sound baths help counter chronic stress. "We found that sound baths elicit the relaxation response ... the body relaxes, the blood pressure lowers, heart rate lowers and the body basically goes into healing mode," Goldsby said. Curious? Watch Hoda and Jenna try a sound bath here. |

Ready to try the best beef stew of your life? The secret to this one-pot wonder is a humble ingredient sitting in your fridge: ketchup. Many stews call for tomato paste, but we found using ketchup adds the same acidity and deep tomato flavor without the hassle of storing the leftover paste. Slowly braise some beef chuck roast with red potatoes, carrots and onions, and serve everything with slices of crusty bread for sopping (and maybe your favorite full-bodied red wine). Get the recipe. |

A little pick-me-up before you go. |
Her real name is Lori Brooks, but her beloved students know her as Miss Sparkles. The school bus driver from Michigan welcomes each child with a hug and greets them by name on her route every school day. A recent TikTok video showed the joy the 60-year-old grandmother tries to bring every morning. "She's just incredible at making everyone feel special," Teresa Weakley, a morning anchor at an NBC affiliate whose children ride her bus, told TODAY.com. The children have also helped Brooks, whose husband died in 2021. "My job brings me so much joy — these kids bring me so much joy," Brooks told us. "They're helping me to heal." See the video here. |
