Amember of staff hands flyers with picture of Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba before his election campaign speech in Tokyo on October 26, 2024. Voters delivered a "harsh judgement" to the LDP, in the words of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. Following that result, parties have 30 days to try to form a coalition government and pick a prime minister. It's still unclear what the exact makeup of a coalition government could look like, clouding the outlook for both economic policy and Ishiba's fate. Thong predicted there will be no significant changes to the country's defense policy, although he pointed out that "a major increase in [defense] exports may be challenging."

CNN —Kamala Harris on Tuesday night warned Americans that Donald Trump would open up a floodgate of vengeance against his political rivals, including ordinary Americans, while promising that she’d work for the American people. “On day one, if elected, Donald Trump would walk into that office with an enemies list. “Donald Trump intends to use the United States military against American citizens who simply disagree with him. That’s not the American way,” Harris said. Serving as Biden’s vice president, Harris said, has been an “honor.” But it would not define her administration or her objectives in office.

CNN —Parts of the Roman Catholic Church are still failing to ensure clerical sexual abuse is reported adequately, Pope Francis’ commission for child protection said Tuesday, raising concerns about a “lack of transparency” in the Vatican’s handling of cases. “At times, the commission found a troubling lack of reporting structures and victim/survivor accompaniment services,” the report said. “The commission found a persistent concern regarding the transparency in the Roman Curia’s (the church’s central administration) procedures and juridical processes. The commission notes that this will continue to foment distrust among the faithful, especially the victim/survivor community,” it added. Francis asked the commission two years ago to produce an annual report on child protection initiatives which he wanted to help bring “transparency and accountability” on abuse.

There is still time for those patterns to shift — and we’ve already seen them shift in twists and turns through recent weeks of early voting. Consistent with that hypothesis, the below table of early voting through Oct. 26 shows substantial leveling in the usage of early voting over different areas. One of the broader challenges of interpreting early vote totals in most states is the lack of sufficient historical data to benchmark against the current returns.

HALCHITA, Utah — After a five-year wait, Lorraine Black and Ricky Gillis heard the rumblings of an electrical crew reach their home on the sprawling Navajo Nation. In five days’ time, their home would be connected to the power grid, replacing their reliance on a few solar panels and propane lanterns. Some rely on solar panels or generators, which can be patchy, and others have no electricity whatsoever. Gillis and Black filed an application to connect their home back in 2019. But when the coronavirus pandemic started ravaging the tribe and everything besides essential services was shut down on the reservation, it further stalled the process.
