Every workday, on his early-morning drive to his job overseeing a warehouse in northern New Jersey, Sean Murphy takes in the frenetic scene of the busiest port on the East Coast. Towering cranes lift shipping containers off vessels newly arrived at Newark from points around the globe. Mile-long freight trains pull cargo to and from the docks. Belching trucks clatter down the highway, hauling containers to distribution centers from Maine to Florida. Here was a visual encapsulation of the challenge confronting the global economy: cargo marooned, commerce frozen and no clarity on when normalcy will return.

A strike at ports along the US East and Gulf Coasts presents huge challenges for the economy. The strike could lead to billions in daily economic losses and stall imports ranging from mangoes to auto parts. The dockworkers are pushing for higher wages and a ban on automation at the ports. AdvertisementA major strike at US ports started on Tuesday and could snarl everything from holiday shopping to auto production lines. But the strike could halt shipments of those foods, including mangoes, bananas, and other fresh fruit from Central and South America.

AP —John Ashton, the veteran character actor who memorably played the gruff but lovable police detective John Taggart in the “Beverly Hills Cop” films, has died. Ashton died Thursday in Fort Collins, Colorado, his family announced in a statement released by Ashton’s manager, Alan Somers, on Sunday. In a career that spanned more than 50 years, Ashton was a regular face across TV series and films, including “Midnight Run,” “Little Big League” and “Gone Baby Gone.”But in the “Beverly Hills Cop” films, Ashton played an essential part of an indelible trio. Ashton co-starred in all four of the films, beginning with the 1984 original and running through the Netflix reboot, “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F,” released earlier this year. “Bobby started handing me these matches, and I went to grab the matches, and he threw them on the floor and stared at me,” said Ashton.

☆ Harris aims to neutralize a key vulnerability: From the Politics Desk

In today’s edition, senior national political reporter Sahil Kapur breaks down how Kamala Harris is handling shifting border politics. Plus, "Meet the Press" moderator Kristen Welker previews next week's vice presidential debate. Harris seeks to neutralize immigration vulnerability as the politics tilt rightBy Sahil KapurKamala Harris is aiming to neutralize a political vulnerability and rebut Donald Trump’s core campaign message today as she takes her tough-on-migration stance to the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona. Trump has long held a clear advantage among voters on immigration, though NBC News polling shows that edge is narrowing. It also comes after snap polls and many observers concluded Harris bested Trump in their first — and perhaps only — debate.

Republicans stand a good chance of erasing the Democrats’ narrow 51-49 Senate majority in November, a hard reality that complicates Harris' transition planning. Members of Harris’ transition team have studied that one — the handoff from Ronald Reagan to George H.W. Harris' team is operating under an unusually compressed timeline and is still building the basic apparatus needed to vet potential hires and staff an administration. Last month, Harris' campaign appointed Yohannes Abraham to run the team that is preparing for a transfer of power. He came to his new role with direct experience, having been executive director of Biden’s transition in 2020.
