Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has died. He was 100 years old. He passed away Dec. 29 at his home in Plains, Georgia, his charity the Carter Center announced on X , formerly Twitter. Carter, the oldest living U.S. president of all time, died less than three months after his 100th birthday and more than a year after the Carter Center said he had opted to receive hospice care at home with his family after "a series of short hospital stays." The Democratic leader is survived by his four children: John William "Jack" Carter , James E. "Chip" Carter III , Donnel Jeffrey "Jeff" Carter and Amy Carter . Carter was preceded in death by his wife of more than 75 years, former First Lady Rosalynn Carter , who died in November 2023 at age 96. Carter, the 39th president, was born in Georgia in 1924. He went on to attend Georgia Southwestern College and the Georgia Institute of Technology, before receiving a degree from the United States Naval Academy in 1946, according to the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum . The same year, he married Rosalynn, and together they operated Carter's Warehouse, a seed and farm store in Georgia. Carter's political career took off in 1962, when he was elected to the Georgia Senate, later becoming governor of the Peach State in 1971. Five years later, he was elected president of the United States, during which he oversaw several international diplomacy efforts, including the Panama Canal treaties, the Camp David Accords and the SALT II treaty with the Soviet Union. "We have learned that 'more' is not necessarily 'better,' that even our great nation has its recognized limits, and that we can neither answer all questions nor solve all problems," he said in his inauguration speech. "We cannot afford to do everything, nor can we afford to lack boldness as we meet the future. So, together, in a spirit of individual sacrifice for the common good, we must simply do our best." Following his time in the White House, he turned his attention to education. Carter became a professor at Emory University in Atlanta in the 1980s, founding The Carter Center and authoring more than 30 books throughout his life. The politician has been recognized for his compassion in his career and beyond. After leaving the presidency, he and his wife sought to create a better life for people not just in the U.S., but across the globe, through the Carter Center. This work was recognized in 2002, when the former peanut farmer was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Moreover, Carter is often remembered for his contributions to the start of the clean energy movement. During his presidency, Carter created the Department of Energy and introduced tax incentives for energy-friendly home insulation and for installing solar panels. As Carter put it in his inauguration speech, "The passion for freedom is on the rise. Tapping this new spirit, there can be no nobler nor more ambitious task for America to undertake on this day of a new beginning than to help shape a just and peaceful world that is truly humane." Look back at Jimmy Carter and Rosalynn Carter's love story... Young Love A photo from Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter 's earliest days together as a young naval officer and his bride stands out at the Plains High School Jimmy Carter National Historical Park in their Georgia hometown. The Carters could share a private moment anywhere, even in front of thousands of people at the Democratic National Convention in 1976. Along with his mother, Jimmy and Rosalynn were joined at the DNC here by daughter Amy Lynn Carter , their eldest son, John William "Jack" Carter , and third son Donnel Jeffrey "Jeff" Carter with his wife Annette Davis . The couple, watching the returns with family in Atlanta, embraced on Election Night in 1976 upon finding out that Carter was going to be the 39th president of the United States. The president and first lady put their best feet forward at a series of inaugural balls following Jimmy's swearing-in on Jan. 20, 1977. Rosalynn raised some eyebrows by recycling the same Mary Matise for Jimmae gown she wore to her husband's 1971 gubernatorial inauguration balls, but she had her husband's full support, Jimmy writing in A Full Life that he was "very proud of her beauty and grace." Daughter Amy Lynn Carter was 9 when she and her Siamese cat Misty Malarky Ying Yang and dog Grits moved into the White House in January 1977. Jimmy was the first sitting president since Theodore Roosevelt (and no president has done it since) to send his child to public school, enrolling Amy at Thaddeus Stevens Elementary School in Washington, D.C. But if there had been an Internet, this would have been a meme: During his one debate with Republican challenger Ronald Reagan in October 1980, President Carter invoked his then-13-year-old when he said, "I had a discussion the other day with my daughter Amy before I came here to ask me what the important issue was. She said she thought nuclear weaponry and the control of nuclear arms." Let's just say, the other side had a little fun with that, with Reagan supporters in Milwaukee chanting "Amy! Amy!" two days later when the candidate delivered a speech. "I remember when Patti and Ron were tiny kids," the future 36th president quipped. "We used to talk about nuclear power." "Ask Amy" bumper stickers became a quick moneymaker for Republican groups, and she even made The Tonight Show , host Johnny Carson joking, "This will be a significant monologue because I asked Amy Carter what she thought were the most important issues to make jokes about." The Carters may have had a young daughter but they also had three daughters-in-law by the time Jimmy became president, and most of the family moved to Washington. Jack and wife Juliette "Judy" Langford stayed in Georgia, where they had welcomed son Jason James Carter on Aug. 7, 1975, and where daughter Sarah Rosemary would be born Dec. 19, 1978. (After their divorce, Jack married mother of two Elizabeth Brasfield on May 15, 1992.) The Carters' second son, James Earl "Chip" Carter III , worked for the Democratic National Committee in Washington while his dad was in office and moved into the White House with wife Caron Griffin , who was eight months pregnant on Inauguration Day. Still, she strolled along the parade route with the rest of the family for a few blocks when the president and first lady made the unprecedented move to walk the whole mile and a half from the Capitol to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. "People along the parade route, when they saw that we were walking, began to cheer and weep," Jimmy later wrote , "and it was an emotional experience for us as well." Chip and Caron's son, James Earl Carter IV , was born Feb. 25, 1977. That August it was announced that Chip was returning to Plains but his wife and child would be staying with the first family, and he and Caron confirmed their separation in 1978. Chip later married Ginger Hodges , with whom he welcomed daughter Margaret Alicia Carter on Sept. 23, 1987. Chip's been married to third wife Becky Payne since 2001. The Carters' third son, Jeff, married his college sweetheart Annette Davis on April 6, 1975, and they moved into the White House, too, while he was attending George Washington University. Jeff and Annette eventually had three sons, Joshua Jeffrey (b. 1984), Jeremy Davis (1987-2015) and James Carlton (b. 1991), and were together until her death on Sept. 19, 2021. Rosalynn was her husband's number-one confidante when he was president—and forever after. "It's a full partnership," Carter told the AP in 2021 of his then-75-year marriage. Jimmy and Rosalyn remain in sync at the White House in January 1979. Amy, here with her dad in 1995, is mom to son Hugo , born in 1999, with first husband James Gregory Wentzel , and son Errol Carter Kelly with her spouse since 2007, John Joseph "Jay" Kelly . The house Jimmy and Rosalynn built in 1961 and have lived in ever since remained the gathering spot for the whole family. The Carters are also great-grandparents to Jason's sons, Henry and Thomas , with his wife Kate ; Sarah's daughter, Josephine , with husband Brendan Keith Murphy ; Margaret's daughter, Alicia , with husband Harold Edward Carter ; Joshua's sons, Charles and Jonathan , with wife Sarah ; and James' daughter, Rayna Rose , with wife Anna . It's no wonder they earned the nickname "first lovebirds." Jimmy knew a thing or two about keeping the peace. "Every day there needs to be reconciliation and communication between the two spouses," the winner of the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize told the AP. "We don't go to sleep with some remaining differences between us." "Jimmy and I are always looking for things to do together," Rosalynn said, but "each [spouse] should have some space. That's really important." "One of the things Jesus taught was: If you have any talents, try to utilize them for the benefit of others," Jimmy told People in 2019, discussing the nearly four decades he and his wife had spent volunteering and advocating for Habitat for Humanity. "That's what Rosa and I have both tried to do." Though their physical involvement in construction grew more limited with time, the Carters became synonymous with the organization, which builds affordable housing and offers no-interest mortgages to buyers who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford a home. "I think both mine and Rosa's minds are almost as good as they used to be, we just have limited capability on stamina and strength," Jimmy said. "But we still try to stay busy and do a good job at what we do." They got so adept at wielding tools over the years, they knocked down their own bedroom wall during a later-in-life home renovation in Plains. "By that time," Rosalynn told the Washington Post in 2018, "we had worked with Habitat so much that it was just second-nature." "It's hard to live until you're 95 years old," Jimmy told People in 2019. "I think the best explanation for that is to marry the best spouse: someone who will take care of you and engage and do things to challenge you and keep you alive and interested in life."

(AP) — Jayden Daniels connected with Zach Ertz in overtime for his third touchdown pass of the game to get the Washington Commanders into the playoffs by beating the Atlanta Falcons 30-24 on Sunday night in a back-and-forth prime-time showdown between highly drafted rookie quarterbacks. Daniels ran for a season-high 127 yards and completed 24 of 36 passes for 227 yards and had two TD passes to Ertz and another to Olamide Zaccheaus to make the playoffs in his rookie year. In his latest comeback performance in a season full of them , Daniels shook off an interception and a 10-point halftime deficit and led the winning drive in overtime that was capped with the 2-yard pass to Ertz. The Commanders (11-5) could move up to the sixth seed in the NFC and set up a wild-card round game at Tampa Bay or the Los Angeles Rams if they win their regular-season finale at Dallas next weekend. They otherwise would be seventh and visit division-rival Philadelphia unless Green Bay loses to Chicago. The Falcons (8-8) lost control of their chances of winning the NFC South and ensuring a home playoff game. They now need to beat Carolina and for the Buccaneers to lose to New Orleans to qualify altogether. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFLShares of Canada Carbon Inc.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Botafogo overcame playing with 10 men to win its first Copa Libertadores title after beating fellow Brazilian side Atletico Mineiro 3-1 in the final at Monumental de Nunez Stadium on Saturday. After just 30 seconds, midfielder Gregore, one of Botafogo’s best players, hit the head of Fausto Vera with his foot and was given a straight red card. Brazil was assured of a sixth consecutive Copa Libertadores title and the 24th in history, just one less than Argentina. It was also the third straight title for Rio de Janeiro clubs, after Fluminense in 2023 and Flamengo in 2022. Winger Luiz Henrique scored the first in the 35th minute from close range, and was fouled for the penalty shot converted by Alex Telles in the 44th. Eduardo Vargas headed Mineiro’s only goal in the 46th while Junior Santos, the top scorer in the Copa Libertadores with 10 goals, capped Botafogo’s historic night with the third in injury time. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer Debora Rey And Mauricio Savarese, The Associated PressThe vast majority of Labour MPs are to the left of Sir Keir Starmer, the first detailed assessment of the new parliament has shown. The centre of gravity of Labour’s 411 MPs was far closer to backbenchers who have criticised the prime minister over issues such as cuts to winter fuel payments and refusing compensation to Waspi women. It suggested that Starmer will come under sustained pressure for more left-wing policies in the years ahead. Kemi Badenoch, however, was significantly to the right of most Tory MPs and detailed analysis showed that economically she was closer to Nigel Farage, with whom she has spent the past few days feuding, than the bulk of her own backbenchers. The findings emerged from the most rigorous attempt yet
