Inflation
Markets are surging after Octoberâs inflation report came in well below Wall Streetâs expectations likely signaling an end to the prospect of additional rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.
Details: The Consumer Price Index made no change from September to October posting a 3.2% year-over-year change. Core CPI - which excludes volatile food and energy prices - rose 0.2%, the smallest increase since 2021.
Food: Despite the progress, fast food continues to experience significantly higher inflation coming in at 6.2% in October. Restaurants like McDonaldâs and Chipotle have announced additional price hikes after minimum wage laws in California have drastically affected their bottom line.
House members left in stunned disbelief, horror by video of Hamasâ attack on Israel
House lawmakers were stunned into shock and disbelief by a screening on Capitol Hill of footage of Hamasâ attack on Israel on Oct. 7.
The roughly 45-minute video assembled by the Israeli government â versions of which have been shown to international media, diplomats and lawmakers, among others â includes graphic footage of Hamas murders and atrocities, some of it pulled from the groupâs own body cameras.
Lawmakers left the screening largely in grave silence, visibly shaken, several of them openly crying and comforting one another. One lawmaker, Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), left the screening in tears less than five minutes after entering.

Israel shows alleged Hamas âarmoryâ under childrenâs hospital in Gaza.
The Israeli militaryâs focus on hospitals in Gaza is growing more intense as its campaign to eliminate Hamas from the enclave enters a sixth week.
The IDF invited news media to visit a medical center for children on Monday, where a spokesperson alleged parts of the basement had been a Hamas âcommand and control centerâ and may have been used to hold hostages.
A CNN team embedded with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and was shown guns and explosives in one room located beneath Al-Rantisi childrenâs hospital on Monday, which IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari termed an âarmory.â

Market snapshot:
The leader of Israelâs center-left Labor Party says something has gone âvery wrongâ with the political left around the world...
No, it hasn't, and that's the problem with the left's et al world view. The left has been the same the world over throughout history. The support of Hamas and tyrants is a feature not a bug.
There is no safe level of left.
Erick, off topic, but would you consider communicating with your friend, Chip Roy, that he and the other likely house republicans that would trigger a speaker recall, should NOT do it? It's amazing to me that a few very conservative house members think they can right our ship by staging what looks like a tantrum to the liberal media and less engaged citizens. I get what they want to do, but we do not have the numbers, and I'm amazed that this needs to be pointed out to them. They can not torpedo Speaker Johnson because they can't get perfection in our national budget. I have no one to communicate with as I live in Georgia and my rep and my senators are both members of the party that wants America to be diminished.
