Kelly defended the video that he and other Democrats with military and intelligence backgrounds recorded, saying it was a simple message that everyone must follow the law. He said since the president and Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, criticized him and the other lawmakers, threats against his family have increased. The senator indicated he has not received any formal request for an interview yet, but would follow the law in any probe. Deirdre Walsh, NPR News, Washington.

OPEC has decided to hold oil production steady for a while. That's a major shift since the group spent most of the year increasing oil production. As NPR's Camilla Dominoski reports, analysts have been predicting the possibility of an oversupply of oil next year.

Saudi Arabia, Russia and some other key members of the OPEC alliance have been putting more barrels on the market this year. That's kept oil prices fairly low and put pressure on American oil producers, who are OPEC's big rivals. But if OPEC members boost output too much, the price of oil might crash, which would cost them enormously. Analysts say the world is on track to have more oil than it needs. There's also just a lot of geopolitical tensions in the world right now that make firm predictions tricky. Over the weekend, OPEC members embraced a, quote, cautious approach and paused their production hikes. Camila Domonosky, NPR News.
