| Good morning. It's Tuesday, Nov. 14, and happy birthday to us — The 7's daily podcast turns 1 year old today. To help us celebrate, give it a listen and also share it with a friend. Now let's catch up. |

 | One out of every 200 people in Gaza have been killed. | |
| |
 | Trump's co-defendants detailed efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia. | - What to know: Four defendants in the Georgia case were required to make statements under the terms of their plea deals. The Post obtained recordings of the statements.
- Why it matters: Donald Trump's former allies offered previously undisclosed details that could be used against other defendants in this case, including the former president.
- In related news: Trump's sister, former federal judge Maryanne Trump Barry, was found dead yesterday.

| |
 | The Supreme Court issued an ethics code for its justices. | - Why? The justices are facing intense criticism following revelations that some accepted but did not report lavish trips and gifts from billionaire friends.
- What's in the code? Broadly worded sections relating to things like outside relationships and participation in cases that could benefit family members financially.
- What it doesn't address: Questions about trips and gifts, or how the court will enforce standards when justices fall short.

 | The U.S. is days away from a possible government shutdown. | |
| |
 | Inflation probably eased last month. | - This morning: The government's latest data on inflation will be released. It's expected to show that prices rose 3.3% in October over the previous year — lower than September's rate.
- The bigger picture: Inflation looks much better than in 2022, when prices soared to 40-year highs. But prices for essentials are still much higher than before the pandemic.

 | A flesh-eating fungus is thriving in Western states. | - What is it? Coccidioides, the fungus that causes Valley fever. The disease can be debilitating, or even fatal, and cases have quadrupled over the past two decades, the CDC says.
- Why is it spreading? The fungus thrives in dry soils, so human-driven climate change may be a factor. More and more of the U.S. could be affected in decades to come, experts say.

 | An Alabama woman born with two uteruses is pregnant in both. | - This is extremely rare: Only one in a million women become pregnant with two fetuses in separate uteruses, according to one expert. Kelsey Hatcher, 32, is one of them.
- What it means: Hatcher's healthy twin girls are due on Christmas Day. But each uterus could contract at different times, meaning the babies could arrive hours or days apart.
