Members of the war cabinet, headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, are slated to meet tomorrow evening with family members of the some 240 people held hostage by terror groups in Gaza.

It is not clear how many family members will join the meeting, as the Prime Minister’s Office says that “representatives” of the families will take part.

In addition to Netanyahu, the war cabinet is staffed by Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Minister Benny Gantz. Observers on the cabinet include ministers Ron Dermer and Gadi Eisenkot and Shas chief MK Aryeh Deri.

Another busy day is planned at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference in downtown San Francisco, with Open AI CEO Sam Altman, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk scheduled to speak at the CEO summit. Also happening today is the APEC Annual Ministerial Meeting Leaders' Plenary.

Even before the westbound Bay Bridge was blocked by protesters at the height of the Thursday commute, Mayor London Breed warned that traffic would get snarled across San Francisco as motorcades pass through the city. And the Warriors play the Thunder in San Francisco tonight, so if you’re attending, here’s how to get to Chase Center. There will also be street closures around the Legion of Honor starting around noon.

Anyone else notice that LinkTV went down today after 25 years.

That was where I watched Tm Hartmann and Stephanie Miller.

Did not watch as often as should have because DISH Satellite "hid" the channel (LINKTV) in among foreign language and programs for the religiously insane. Just checked after being all day at doctor and other stuff. LINK is no longer available on DISH. According to the LinkTV.org. Link TV no longer functions as of 10/31/23. Happy Halloween is all I can say.
