Straight to It: Afghanistan explosion, job numbers, and snail mail

Gwen’s picks for Friday, October 8 include:

• An explosion killed at least 46 people and wounded dozens more at a mosque in Afghanistan. The explosion happened as Shiite Muslim worshippers were gathering for the weekly Friday prayer service
• President Joe Biden said the U.S. economy remains strong after a “disappointing” September jobs report with the United States adding only 194,000 jobs.
• 20 Attorney Generals are suing after a controversial slowdown by the United States Postal Service. The slowdown began at the beginning of October as a way to save the USPS money.
