Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway purchased stakes in Domino's Pizza and Pool Corp. last quarter. AdvertisementWarren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway took a bite of the pizza business and jumped into the swimming pool industry last quarter. The famed investor's conglomerate bought a slice of Domino's Pizza worth $549 million at the end of September, a portfolio update revealed Thursday. Buffett and his team also purchased just over 1% of Pool Corp. — a wholesale distributor of swimming pool supplies and related products. Buffett owning a piece of Domino's Pizza seems fitting given his insatiable appetite for fast food and the companies that produce it such as Berkshire-owned Dairy Queen.

Last week, Warner Bros. "In a way, we've already consolidated," he said on the company's earnings call Thursday morning, in response to a question about M&A possibilities during Trump 2.0. Disney, like other media companies that have news organizations, has already drawn Trump's ire, during the 2024 campaign. During that fight, conservatives harped on the company, calling it too "woke," while liberals — including some Disney employees — felt the company wasn't forceful enough in standing up for diversity.

Private jet travel has surged in recent years, and two big changes explain why. Meanwhile, more affordable options for on-demand private jets multiplied. Two big factors led to that spike in private flights: The pandemic and a spate of more affordable options for flying private. But soon, private jet travel surged even as commercial flying remained depressed. Meanwhile, fractional ownership of private planes, fly-share services, subscriptions to private jet companies, and other on-demand private flying options have also grown much more popular and made private flying more accessible and affordable.

When I first toured Yale, it felt like I encountered the sublime for the first time.

Critics have said that school choice puts public education at risk by diverting funds away from public schools and that some school choice initiatives have disproportionately helped wealthier families. Colorado's Amendment 80 establishes a constitutionally protected right to school choice for children from kindergarten through 12th grade. If the law is repealed, it would get rid of the state's school choice program. Related storiesIf the state ballot initiatives pass, they would build on the existing school choice programs across the country.

Next week's presidential election could have a big impact on municipal bonds, according to Morgan Stanley. In that case, the federal tax exemption becomes worth more, said Dan Close, head of municipals at Nuveen. However, studies have shown a move of just a couple percentage points "doesn't really move the needle" for muni demand, Brandon said. The TCJA increased the AMT exemption and raised the income level at which the exemption would phase out. That's because banks and insurance companies in the U.S. own about a quarter of all outstanding muni bonds, he explained.

"This is the latest in the ongoing campaign to discredit UNRWA and delegitimize its role towards providing human-development assistance and services to #Palestine Refugees," Lazzarini wrote. UNRWA is a U.N. aid organization established in 1949 to provide aid and protection to Palestinian refugees in the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Some Israeli critics have said that the agency perpetuates a false narrative that Palestinians are refugees, which Lazzarini referenced in his statement. And U.N.

Georgia’s Central Election Commission said Georgian Dream won 52.99% with the majority of votes counted. Georgian Dream stood against four main opposition groups, which indicated they did not accept the results. The biggest opposition party, United National Movement, said its headquarters came under attack on polling day. Many Georgians fear Georgian Dream is dragging the country toward authoritarianism and killing off hopes it could join the EU.

Kyiv CNN —Russian soldiers have been heard raising concerns about how North Korean soldiers will be commanded and provided with ammunition and military kit, leaked intercepts obtained by the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine and released on Friday show. The intercepts also reveal plans to have one interpreter and three senior officers for every 30 North Korean men, which the Russian soldiers are heard in the audio condemning. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday that he received a report on the deployment of North Korean military personnel from Ukraine’s commander-in-chief. “According to intelligence, on October 27-28, Russia will deploy its first North Korean troops in combat zones. The Kremlin had initially dismissed allegations of North Korean troop deployments, but on Thursday at the BRICS summit, Putin did not deny that Pyongyang had sent soldiers to the country.

As Election Day approaches, the campaigns are putting significant time and attention toward courting Black men, seen as a crucial — and potentially movable — voting bloc in a tight presidential race. However, that number drops to 68% for Black men under 50, compared to 21% who support Trump. “It’s very important to not operate from the assumption that Black men are in anybody’s pocket,” she said during an interview with the National Association of Black Journalists in September. For Trump’s part, efforts to reach Black men voters through campaign surrogates or Trump himself have lessened in recent months.

HONG KONG — China is strengthening enforcement with nations such as the United States to combat smuggling and other serious crimes, state media reported Friday, citing the country’s National Immigration Administration. Smugglers and cross-border criminal groups at home and abroad have recently been “deceiving some people to participate in smuggling activities,” the administration said, without giving a specific time period or clarifying whether the smuggling involved goods, people or both. The United States has this year deported Chinese people who sought to enter the country illegally back to China with charter flights. The difficulty of obtaining U.S. visas and the economic aftershocks of China’s Covid-19 lockdowns led to a sharp increase in Chinese nationals presenting at the U.S.-Mexico border. That is more than the 52,700 who crossed in the entire 2023 fiscal year that ended in October.
