Trump administration promises US farmers $15 billion in weeks before the midterms
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump’s administration has made $15 billion worth of promises to agriculture producers in the last few weeks of the midterm elections. The initiatives are intended to help offset higher costs for diesel and fertilizer that farmers have endured largely due to his tariffs and the war in Iran. Whether that will motivate more voters to turn out in agricultural states where traditionally Republican seats are now seen as competitive is unclear. It may explain his increased attention on rural areas, including visits Sunday to Iowa and Kansas, two days before the election.

'Grasping at straws': Judge dismisses Trump suit against Wall Street Journal over Epstein letter
SUMMARY: A federal judge has dismissed President Donald Trump’s multibillion-dollar lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal and media mogul Rupert Murdoch over a story reporting on his ties to wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein. U.S. District Judge Darrin Gayles in Miami dismissed the suit with prejudice. He ruled that the president did not prove the defendants made defamatory statements with actual malice. The ruling said the lawsuit was “grasping at straws” as it attempted to “manufacture” flaws in the Journal’s investigative reporting. When a case is thrown out “with prejudice,” it cannot be refiled again and the dismissal is permanent and incontrovertible.

US plans to deport Afghans back to their home country through Pakistan, documents show
SUMMARY: The Trump administration plans to deport Afghans detained in the U.S. back to Afghanistan via Pakistan. That is according to court documents obtained by The Associated Press. Immigrant advocacy groups warn this could endanger those who fled war and persecution, including those who helped the U.S. military, by handing them over to the Taliban. Federal officials said in court documents that some deportations could begin as early as Monday from Louisiana. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says it does not comment on future deportation operations. Officials at the Pakistani Embassy in Washington did not return messages seeking comment. The deportation plan was first reported by Bloomberg.

Mamdani says Trump agrees to grant visa to mother of Ghanian teen killed in Bronx shooting
SUMMARY: New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani says President Donald Trump has agreed to grant a visa to the mother of a 15-year-old immigrant from Ghana who was shot to death earlier this week. New York City police said the teen was shot in the abdomen Thursday morning. He was pronounced dead at a hospital. No arrests have been made. Mamdani wrote Saturday on X that Javits Frimpong’s mother deserves to say goodbye to her son in person and that he had spoken with Trump, who agreed to grant her a visa. U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres from the Bronx says Frimpong arrived in the borough from Ghana a year ago to be with his father.

ICE agent charged with assault for hitting a fleeing man with his car will turn himself in on Monday
SUMMARY: A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent charged with running over a Mexican man in Houston will turn himself in on Monday, according to his attorney, David Lindenmuth. Mario Alberto Morales struck Miguel Parra Hernandez, a 48-year-old construction worker, with his unmarked SUV on Oct. 10 as Parra Hernandez fled through a parking lot. A grand jury indicted Morales on Friday on a felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Parra Hernandez broke his leg and is recovering in a rehabilitation facility while in federal custody, according to Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare. ICE has said Parra Hernandez ran in front of Morales' car, an account Teare said video evidence contradicts.

Federal officials investigate arson at beleaguered police department in Mississippi
SUMMARY: An arson Saturday morning damaged the building of a beleaguered police department in Mississippi that has drawn outrage from the community in recent months after an officer shot and killed a 1-year-old, authorities said. The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and local agencies are investigating. The fire occurred around 4:30 a.m. at the Senatobia Police Department. It is the latest incident at the department. About a week ago an officer who shot and killed a 1-year-old boy in Mississippi when he fired into a moving vehicle while responding to a shoplifting call resigned, though he was cleared of criminal wrongdoing. In September, the police chief was fired after reporting that alleged he used racist slurs in private text messages.

Trump's rallies in Iowa and Kansas come as Republicans fight to keep Senate and House control
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump is wrapping up a turbulent midterm campaign with rallies in Iowa and Kansas. Those states have been strongholds for him in the past. On Sunday, Trump will visit Dubuque, Iowa, where Republicans are fighting to keep a Senate seat and the governor's office. Later, he'll head to Salina, Kansas. Adam Hamilton is trying to become the first Kansas Democrat to win a Senate seat in 94 years.. The rallies mark Trump's return after a brief break Saturday. The campaign’s closing stretch has become a test of Trump’s enduring strength in a Republican Party he reshaped in his image a decade ago.

Sullivan claims Peltola is 'still lying' about campaign's involvement in Alaska ballot controversy
SUMMARY: Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan says he doubts his Democratic rival's claims she had no idea that a man also named Dan Sullivan was recruited by her top aides onto the Alaska ballot to act as a spoiler. Sullivan was interviewed Sunday on CNN and noted that a New York Times story documents that Mary Peltola's former campaign manager was involved, as were other operatives close to Peltola. President Donald Trump has called for Peltola to be prosecuted. Sullivan said he thinks the scheme will cost him votes but he'll accept the result of the election. Peltola said she is not interested in “tricking voters.”

Over 40% of names on DOJ list of alleged noncitizens are not on Calif. voter rolls, analysis finds
SUMMARY: More than 4 in 10 names flagged as possible noncitizen voters in California by the Trump administration can’t even be found on the state’s voter rolls. That's according to a legal filing Saturday by an immigrant rights group. It's the first outside analysis of a list that the Department of Justice has used to threaten prosecution of election officials. The analysis also found that thousands of U.S. citizens appear to be flagged as ineligible to vote on the government’s list. The top federal prosecutor in Los Angeles called the analysis “a bogus report by the activist illegal immigrant rights group.”

Analysis: Republicans face a midterm reckoning of Trump's making
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump is asking voters to pretend he’s on the Election Day ballot again, and that's creating challenges for Republicans. Midterms often serve as a referendum on the president’s party, and Trump’s decisions on tariffs, the Iran war and other matters are complicating things. His actions have given Democrats an opening to blame national problems on him. Trump’s efforts to boost Republicans, including by spending nearly $277 million to back candidates, may not be enough. His tariffs disrupted the agricultural economy, and the Iran war continues with no clear strategy. Republicans are struggling to balance loyalty to Trump with their own independence, while Democrats face their own risks.

Trump administration's social media posts ahead of elections criticized for being inflammatory
SUMMARY: The Trump administration’s online accounts have circulated images of a pumpkin carved with a sombrero design and a fake Halloween-themed background around a Black man apparently accused of food assistance fraud. The posts come only days before the midterm elections as the government spotlights its fraud crackdown and aggressive immigration enforcement. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins posted Saturday on the social platform X a photo of the Black man standing in front of stacks of what appear to be U.S. currency with the headline, SNAP FRAUDSTER, an apparent reference to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps. He is holding aloft what appears to be a bill set aflame. Both posts drew outrage from critics online.

Virginia and DC sue over Trump's arch, adding to legal challenges as government wants work to begin
SUMMARY: The legal challenges to President Donald Trump’s proposed memorial arch are mounting. The District of Columbia and Virginia sued in federal court Saturday as the administration says construction could begin as early as next week. There are now three lawsuits calling for a halt to potential work on a monument that would rise 250 feet on a patch of grass off the bridge that spans the Potomac River, connecting the city with Arlington National Cemetery. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan is already considering issuing an order to halt the project until the original lawsuit is resolved. She held a hearing Friday but didn't immediately act. Trump said Saturday night that the arch “is very important militarily for Washington D.C. and our country."

FBI visits Dan J. Sullivan donor in candidate's hometown as Alaska Senate inquiry widens
SUMMARY: Federal authorities have intensified their investigation into an Alaska Senate candidate named Dan J. Sullivan, who shares a name with the Republican incumbent. The FBI has begun contacting donors to investigate potential deception. Agents have contacted donors in at least two communities in Alaska and a couple in Massachusetts. On Friday, an FBI agent visited a boat dealership in Petersburg, where the candidate lives, and left a business card for Charles Flint. Flint donated to Dan J. Sullivan and said he knows him as a respected teacher and musician. He said he didn't feel misled and said, "Everybody knows who the incumbent is.” The federal investigation comes days before Tuesday’s ranked choice general election.

Rubio says the US government did not facilitate Bolsonaro’s flight to the US
SUMMARY: U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the Trump administration did not help Flávio Bolsonaro leave Brazil after his election defeat. Bolsonaro arrived in Miami on Wednesday. The State Department said he and his family will be granted U.S. visas. Rubio told reporters in Atlanta that the U.S. government was not involved in Bolsonaro's move. Bolsonaro, who lost to Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has refused to concede and claims the election was fraudulent. He is under investigation in Brazil for corruption and other charges. Bolsonaro calls himself a victim of persecution.

Attorneys for Alaska say 'meritless' Trump demand to set aside Senate ballots 'not even possible'
SUMMARY: Alaska’s Republican-run state government is urging a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed at President Donald Trump’s direction to stop the certification of a possible Democratic win in that state’s pivotal U.S. Senate race. The scathing filing from the state’s attorney general’s office calls the government's arguments "meritless." It comes as a federal judge set a Saturday deadline for arguments over whether she should dismiss the lawsuit without even a hearing. The complaint from the U.S. Department of Justice demands that ballots be set aside to determine whether voters were confused by the presence of a second candidate on the ballot with the same name as Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan.

Iran targeted US air defenses then hit aircraft and buildings on Mideast bases, AP analysis finds
SUMMARY: Iran’s strikes on more than two dozen U.S. bases in the Middle East focused on early warning systems before hitting aircraft and buildings. That caused billions of dollars in equipment damage. The Associated Press independently verified damage using satellite imagery and spoke to four regional officials who were briefed or have firsthand knowledge of what was hit. Through August, more than 115 drone or missile strikes claimed by Iran or Iranian-backed militias damaged or destroyed structures on 26 military bases and other sites with U.S. equipment. Iran primarily focused its attacks on systems that detect incoming strikes as well as aircraft hangars, clearing the way for further strikes on warehouses, troop housing and more.

The UK's stance on its role in the slave trade is shifting, but reparations remain off the table
SUMMARY: U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham has expressed openness to formally apologizing for Britain's role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. This marks a significant shift in the U.K.'s stance on addressing its historical wrongs. Ahead of a meeting with Caribbean Commonwealth leaders, Burnham emphasized the importance of discussing slavery's legacy. While he rejected reparations, he proposed debt restructuring to aid poorer Commonwealth countries. Caricom, a Caribbean trade bloc, welcomed the apology but stressed that it must be accompanied by reparations. Burnham's stance contrasts with the opposition Conservative Party, which opposes an apology.

Somali pirates seize Iranian fishing vessel, raising fears of attacks on cargo ships
SUMMARY: Somali pirates have hijacked an Iranian fishing boat called the Azini with 23 people on board. The Maritime Security Center Indian Ocean says the vessel was approaching a commercial shipping lane and could be used as a base for more attacks. The crew’s safety is unknown. The seizure follows a string of hijackings off Somalia that has added to shipping dangers in the region. The Iran war and threats from Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels have already disrupted shipping routes and pushed up the cost of transporting oil. A maritime security officer with the Puntland Maritime Police Force said Sunday that the Azini was hijacked Thursday between the coastal towns of Bandar Bayla and Hafun in northeastern Somalia.

SUMMARY: Top diplomats from the Group of 20 largest world economies have wrapped up two days of talks in Atlanta but there's no consensus on several critical issues. Divisions, most notably over Russia’s war with Ukraine, overshadowed the start of the meeting and affected its outcome, too. As a result, the group didn't release a joint communique Saturday but relied on a chairman’s statement summarizing the talks that Secretary of State Marco Rubio released after the meetings closed.

FBI blames North Korea for stolen billions from Binance in biggest hack in history
SUMMARY: The FBI says the billions of dollars stolen from Binance within minutes in the biggest crypto heist in history was orchestrated by North Korean hackers. The bureau says this week's attack was tied to “malicious cyber activity” by an entity known as TraderTraitor. That same entity behind a $1.5 billion Bybit hack last year. The FBI said Saturday that it is advising crypto exchanges, blockchain analytics companies and others to block transactions tied to certian addresses to keep the money from being laundered further. Later Saturday night, President Donald Trump said authorities were still learning about the case, however, and added, “We don't know if it was North Korea.”

What to know about the Affordable Care Act's open enrollment period now underway
SUMMARY: People signing up for health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act for 2027 should expect higher premiums and fewer options. The enrollment period starts Sunday and ends in mid-January. The big changes include expiring financial assistance, rising rates, and stricter enrollment checks. Financial help is now restricted for many groups. Experts predict less coverage and higher prices, with average premiums rising by 13%. Those without subsidies will be affected most. New regulations will limit tax credits for certain immigrants, possibly increasing the uninsured. The Trump administration plans to remove 760,000 enrollees over claims of fraud, and is aiming for $2.2 billion in savings.
