President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazil’s runoff election, halting a right-wing wave sweeping Latin America and defying predictions that the 80-year-old political veteran had finally reached the end of his extraordinary career. bloom.bg/4BsvV24

Read my exclusive interview with Gadi Eisenkot, the man best positioned to dislodge Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel's Oct. 27 election.

“I feel like it’s a historic mission—to save the state of Israel,” he says.

NEW: About 265,000 people across the state, and 87,000 in New York City, voted early on Saturday, according to state elections officials. Both tallies were almost double the number of people who showed up on the first day of early voting four year ago.

Just how much has the Vivek Ramaswamy ad broken through?

His rival, Amy Acton, became today the first Dem candidate for governor since April to be the top fundraiser on ActBlue over the preceding week.

(The top spot had been entirely held by Senate candidates.)

“I want to make sure that we don’t tax just for the sake of taxing” isn’t a hard no (following a hard no from Hochul to the question.)
NEW: While discussing universal childcare, I asked @GovKathyHochul if she plans to raise taxes to pay for it.

Dan: Are taxes being raised a possibility?

Hochul: No

I then asked if taxes could be raised for for any reason.

“I assure you, I know how to manage the state.”

“That was hurtful, and it gives us a chip on our shoulder — one that I still have today,” @KathyHochul in @nytimes. “People look down on us...People mocked us all the time. So that’s been our psyche. And I just thought, ‘But we’re not losers.’”

Mayor Mamdani's office confirms he will sign the bill abolishing NYC's horse carriage industry (as opposed to letting it lapse into law).

Still no definite word on whether NYC will compensate carriage drivers for their medallions once the ban takes effect in June 2028.

Big Apple delivery drivers are demanding a sitdown with Mayor Zogran Mamdani over his plans to ban Amazon from hiring them as third-party contractors — but they say City Hall has snubbed them, even as experts warned the bill could leave thousands unemployed. nypost.com/2026/10/22/us-…

Here is a fun side by side related to @NickReisman and @C_Sommerfeldt's good story. Look at these two tables.

The first is from the just released Quinnipiac poll. The second is from their poll taken around this time in 2022. Notice the difference?

Underrated life advice: Have more hobbies & fewer opinions. Learn an instrument. Plant a garden. Build something with your hands. Cook. Paint. Run. The happiest people I know spend less time debating life and more time actually living it.

“His low-key approach to breaking a barrier mirrors that of some other Democratic Senate candidates this year, as a party burned by losses.”

Interesting story on @ChrisPappasNH from @jessbidgood
