Fed Chair Powell: Inflation is certainly above target and is continuing to increase. The labor market has demonstrated significant risks as payroll jobs have declined sharply. If we move too quickly, then we may leave the inflation job unfinished. If we move too slowly, there may be painful losses

I'm not afraid. Come and get me, Donald.

I will stand up for the law and the Constitution. That’s what we do in the State of Illinois.

Everything we do begins with our children — their safety, their health, and their well-being. California has always led in innovation, but true leadership also means setting limits when it matters most.

Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · 1d

Chatbots and social media can inspire, educate, and connect, but they can also exploit, mislead, and endanger our kids.

That's why I'm signing legislation to strengthen the state's current protections for children online and create safeguards for emerging technology like AI.

Let’s be clear: the Republican shutdown continues because the Republican Speaker dares not bring back the House to face an Epstein vote they would lose and a divided caucus with vulnerables who want to extend Affordable Care credits and MAGAloons who won’t.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House.

They’d rather keep the government shut down than negotiate to keep health care affordable.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Trump announces another strike "just off the Coast of Venezuela" that killed 6 people

Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!

Powell on Trump's immigration policies: "Stronger policy than most people had expected. We've seen a very sharp decline in growth of the labor force and in and people entering the country ... new people that come into the workforce create supply but they also create their own demand."

Meiselas: What do you say to people who say while Governor Mills has been a great governor, she’s 77 years old, and we need younger leadership?

Mills: It’s a fair point… But I don’t think I could live with myself if I didn’t do everything I can to reverse what’s going on in Washington

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Reporter: Trump is hosting Argentina's president on the heels of a controversial $20 billion bailout. American soybean farmers have struggled ever since the administration kicked off its trade wars. Soybeans are tied to this because China has been buying more soybeans from Argentina than US farmers

Leader Jeffries: There's definitively no reason to ever trust the Republicans, particularly as it relates to the health care issue. These are people who have now tried more than 70 different times over the last 15 years to repeal the Affordable Care Act
