Some of your favorite shows are returning
From "Abbott Elementary" to "Yellowstone," here are the tentative release dates for some of TV's most-anticipated series.
Mortgage rates
Mortgage rates dropped this week in the biggest one-week decline in a year. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage fell to an average of 7.50% in the week ending Thursday, down from 7.76% the week before, according to data from Freddie Mac. It is the second straight week rates have declined after rising for seven consecutive weeks. Still, it's unclear whether the lower rates will entice prospective buyers off the sidelines. Homebuyers have been stunned by surging rates that sent home loan applications and home sales down to a 13-year low in September.

Senate
Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia will not run for reelection in 2024, potentially threatening Democrats' chances to hold control of the Senate. The moderate Democrat made the announcement on social media Thursday, calling it "one of the toughest decisions" of his life. The Democratic Caucus controls the chamber with a narrow 51-49 margin, and Manchin's decision not to run again in such a deeply red state puts Democrats in a tough spot, as they'll be defending seats in other competitive states. Manchin has not specifically said what he plans to do after leaving Capitol Hill, although he has stoked speculation of a third-party presidential bid.
Senate
The show is set to go on ... but there's bankruptcy chatter behind the curtain.
