Democrats ended up cleaning up in the Clinton districts and then padding their majority in the Trump districts in 2018. A majority of the Trump/House Democratic districts have a median household income of less than $65,000, which is also below the national median of $78,000. For Republicans, Trump has shifted their coalition to include more working-class voters and voters of color. The targets include some Trump seats that were not on this year’s battlefield, like Michigan’s 4th District, represented by GOP Rep. Bill Huizenga. Republicans, meanwhile, will try to ensure that Trump voters become reliable GOP voters, and some Republicans acknowledged those voters are not in their camp yet.

Citigroup on Thursday named 344 employees to the bank's highest rank outside the C-suite, the most since Jane Fraser became CEO in 2021. Managing director promotions are an annual tradition across Wall Street and help to showcase the next generation of industry leaders.

CNN —John Tinniswood, the world’s oldest man, has died at the age of 112. Born August 26, 1912, Tinniswood had held the record for the world’s oldest living man since April 2024, following the death of 114-year-old Juan Vicente Pérez of Venezuela. “You either live long or you live short, and you can’t do much about it,” he told GWR earlier this year. According to GWR, the oldest man ever was Jiroemon Kimura of Japan. This year has also seen the death of the world’s oldest person.

Projected onto the venue’s 39-foot-high walls, a mixture of backstage and runway footage transports viewers into the epicenter of fashion history. Alexander McQueen's Spring-Summer 1999 show, featuring a duo of spray-painting robots, has gone down in fashion history. Coco Chanel would watch the her own fashion shows from the mirrored staircase in her apartment building in Paris.

The sewage is exposed to the air and causes a lot of nausea and headaches,” said Veronica Isabel Dahlberg, executive director of HOLA Ohio, a nonprofit group assisting Latino state residents, which has advised mobile home park residents who sued. It is very expensive,” said Yvonne Maldonado, a co-director of Manufactured Housing Action, a nonprofit group that focuses on such communities. “We have recently seen private equity enter the manufactured housing market," PESP housing research coordinator Madeline Bankson said. During hurricanes, the National Weather Service has said, 72% of deaths occur in homes, and of those, 54% occur in mobile homes. She also urged mobile home park residents to organize their communities and if there are complaints, to do it as a group, which is more effective.

☆ Matt Gaetz would oversee US prisons as AG. He thinks El Salvador’s hardline lockups are a model

CNN —As he stood inside the echoing hall of the prison, Matt Gaetz seemed impressed. It was July, and Gaetz — who will oversee the Federal Bureau of Prisons if he becomes attorney general — was visiting El Salvador’s notorious Terrorism Confinement Center (Cecot), where gang leaders and murderers are locked up and from which they are never released. “This is the solution” for El Salvador, Gaetz added, in a video released by Bukele. That trip came just a month after Gaetz, Donald Trump Jr. and others traveled to Bukele’s second inauguration. Gaetz founded a congressional El Salvador caucus with Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez of Texas in July in a rare moment of bipartisanship.

☆ Trump’s 2024 victory revealed voter shifts that could reshape America’s political landscape
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-10 | by ( Eric Bradner | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +10 min

Here are five takeaways on the voters Trump won and what it means moving forward:The Latino realignmentA trend with the potential to remake the American political landscape is the huge shift in Latino voters toward Trump. Trump’s 1.5-point win in Osceola County flipped a location that President Joe Biden won by 14 points four years earlier. Trump’s performance similarly improved in Orange County, home of Orlando, where Biden won by 23 points in 2020 but Harris won by just 5.6 points this year. Trump’s gains are explained in part by his appeals to Black men, and his efforts to reach out to Arab American voters. Harris won by 10 points and 85,000 votes — short of the 14-point, 114,000-vote win Biden had notched there in 2020.

☆ Cuba fights to come back from a nationwide blackout, then a storm that killed six

"The country has completely halted," said homemaker Mayde Quiñones, 55, who cares for her mother-in-law, who is in her 80s. The prolonged nationwide blackout that followed a massive outage Thursday night was part of countrywide energy problems that led to the largest protests in Cuba in almost 30 years, in July 2021. The Cuban government on state television Monday night said that it's producing 1300 megawatts when peak demand can hit 3 gigawatts. He said that Oscar would bring "an additional inconvenience" to Cuba's recovery since it would affect key Cuban power plants, such as Felton in the city of Holguín, and Renté in Santiago de Cuba. The blackout was considered to be Cuba's worst since Hurricane Ian hit the island as a Category 3 storm in 2022 and damaged power installations.

HAVANA — Millions remain without power in Cuba for a third consecutive day as slow progress is made in restoring electricity following multiple major grid failures. Hurricane Oscar, a Category 1 storm, made landfall on eastern Cuba's northern coast Sunday evening with sustained winds of 80 mph. Levi blamed the U.S.'s “brutal blockade” for the financial difficulties in acquiring fuel and spare parts for Cuba's power plants, as well as for the current electric power crisis. Cuban police and military stand next to debris used to block a street during a protest against a blackout, after opening the street up to traffic, in Havana, Cuba on Saturday. Cuba’s economic crisis has spurred massive migration.

Havana CNN —Cuba’s electrical grid shut down on Friday, putting the country into a blackout after the failure of one of the island’s major power plants, according to its energy ministry. In a statement on X, the ministry said “the failure” of the Antonio Guiteras Power Plant caused “the total disconnection of the National Electrical System” from 11 a.m. This week, Cuba’s increasingly energy-strapped government called for draconian measures to save power, including telling many workers to stay home. Millions of people on the communist-run island have been left without power over the last several days as the aging Cuban electrical grid repeatedly collapsed. The Cuban Electric Union has also reported that 37 power generation plants are out of service due to lack of fuel.

The ‘Frente Atletico’ fans group was formed in the 1980s and has a reputation for holding radical right-wing views and being involved in violence. There was also tension when some fans passed by wearing Real Madrid shirts against the backdrop of a heavy police presence.

In conversations with nearly a dozen Democratic lawmakers and candidates running in competitive races across the country, a common theme emerged. Tim Walz, Democrats have felt a tangible bump of energy in their districts, through spikes in volunteers, donations and event turnout. Rep. Chris Deluzio, who supports Harris, told CNN he was glad to see that she has moved away from her previous position on fracking.

CNN —There are two rather different perceptions of the Balearic island of Ibiza near Spain. “Today, (Ibizan style) still persists and is absolutely recognizable anywhere in the world.”Fashion brand Reformation dedicated their latest summer collection to Ibiza. ReformationAs well as on-island boutiques such as Annie’s Ibiza and Vicente Ganesha, Ibiza style is celebrated by Loewe’s creative director Jonathan Anderson, who grew up vacationing in Ibiza, and since 2017, has spearheaded a high end collaboration between the luxury house and another legendary local institution Paula’s boutique. “When the pandemic happened, there was a chance to reframe what Ibiza was about: slow travel, wellness and mindfulness,” Fonner said. “I don’t really think (Ibiza) has gained popularity in recent years; I believe it has always been popular artistically,” she said.

But, to put it bluntly, it’s not you and it’s not me, it’s Gen Z. So half of Gen Z and millennials are simply opting for more inexpensive options.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that, when in a committed relationship, partners often refer to their significant other as their best friend.
