And earlier this year, the company made further moves to de-emphasize political content on Instagram, Facebook, and Threads. Meanwhile, half of the 18- to 29-year-olds surveyed by the Pew Research Center saying they watch political content on TikTok. No one on social media has the answer to what will happen in Tuesday's election. Anxiously reposting or liking election content may feel like the only thing we can do as the clock ticks down. For now, the best way to alleviate that anxiety might be to get off social media until Tuesday passes.

A New Mexico teenager was charged with what appeared to be an accidental shooting of his younger sister on Tuesday morning, according to police. A 17-year-old boy and his siblings were at home in Clayton, New Mexico, getting ready for school when the boy "pointed what he thought was an unloaded handgun" at his 8-year-old sister, New Mexico State Police said. The girl was taken to a local hospital and later flown to a hospital in Texas. The teenager is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, negligent use of a deadly weapon, and tampering with evidence. It's unclear if he has retained an attorney or if he is being charged as adult.

Satellite imagery suggests that Israeli’s attack on Iran appears to have damaged a key element of Tehran’s ballistic missile production and air defense sites, potentially leaving it exposed to any future attacks, military analysts told NBC News. Israel appears to have targeted Iran’s missile production process instead of storage sites — thereby making it harder for Tehran to add to an already dwindling supply of missiles. “It was a very smart attack, targeting all the sensitive sites,” Hinz said in an interview. "The missiles are dispersed all over the country, some of them are deep inside Iran and deep underground. "But when you hit the missile production facilities, you can't produce them anymore."

Video of Qamar carrying her injured sister to a hospital and back in central Gaza was shared widely across social media recently. With Sumaya in need of treatment and unable to walk, Qamar slung her younger sister over her shoulders and carried her to the hospital. Qamar, 6, carries her injured sister Sumaya, 5, in Gaza on Oct. 21. But most of all, she said, she wants to see her father again, after the family lost contact with him after fleeing from northern Gaza. But she expressed pride in her daughter, "who took her sister, who carried her, healed her and brought her back," she said.

The Dutchman was appointed in April 2022 and won the 2023 Carabao Cup and 2024 F.A. But the club failed to qualify for this season's Champions League, Europe's premier competition, and currently sits 14th in the Premier League table after making its worst start to a season in 35 years. Ten Hag was informed of the decision less than 24 hours after a 2-1 defeat to West Ham United. Brazilian winger Antony, a favorite of ten Hag from his time in charge of Dutch giants Ajax, exemplified the coach's transfer market failings.

Iran responded to that attack with a drone and missile barrage on Israel that was at the time unprecedented. Israel retaliated with a limited strike on Iran which caused little damage. U.S. defense officials told NBC News that Israel had told their American counterparts about Saturday's strikes ahead of time, but that the U.S. was not involved in the attack. "The fact that Iran is downplaying the attack and what's been hit is good news," he told NBC News on the phone. "Whether Israel and Iran will think like this is a different matter," he added.

In today’s edition, national political reporter Ben Kamisar breaks down our latest focus group of voters who did not participate in the last election but plan to this time around. Plus, "Meet the Press" moderator Kristen Welker previews Kamala Harris' trip to Texas. Among these voters, Harris gets a boost because they believe she would protect abortion rights, and some have broader hopes that electing the first female president could send a strong message to the country. But maybe more than anything else, Harris’ trip to Texas is noteworthy because of the issue she’ll be emphasizing there: abortion. Our latest NBC News poll shows why abortion is such a critical issue for Harris: It’s the top motivating issue for voters, especially younger women.

Among these voters, Harris gets a boost because they believe she would protect abortion rights, and some have broader hopes that electing the first female president could send a strong message to the country. Across the last three polls, Trump led Harris 50%-40% among those who were confirmed not to have voted in 2022 or 2020. On the panels, all three of the voters leaning Harris’ way were women who, in part, said they connected with her on an emotional level. She framed her vote as “less of a vote for her and more of a vote against Trump,” and she added that she never gave voting for Trump serious thought. She’s caught between a fear of choosing the wrong candidate and the “guilt” she feels after having sat out 2020.

There was a time, though, when any Yankees player on his way to face the Dodgers could have walked. O’Malley could not fathom that the Brooklyn Dodgers would move to Queens, so instead he set about moving the team to Los Angeles. Brooklyn Dodgers officials and employees pose in front of the club's plane at La Guardia in New York, before taking off for Los Angeles on October 23, 1957. Speaking to the New York Times in 2007, the Dodgers’ ex-general manager Buzzie Bavasi remembered that the franchise’s front office held a vote on whether to move. Six months later, the Los Angeles Dodgers played their first ever game, beating the San Francisco Giants 6-5 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

ZorcJump to the full list of authors, editors and contributorsSpokespeople for Project 2025 have denied that they are advocates for any particular candidate, and Project 2025 has no official ties to the Trump campaign. To limit the appearance of connection, Mr. Trump’s transition team has been excluding prominent people linked to Project 2025 from its preparations. Project 2025 additionally calls for the dismantling of the federal Education Department, which Mr. Trump has also pledged to do.

Not bad for an outfielder who will turn 26 on Friday — on the opening day of the World Series. This is not the roster that Los Angeles thought would carry them to the World Series way back in March. Can Freddie Freeman get back on the field for the World Series?

The relievers stitched together 27 outs against a Mets team that had appeared allergic to cardiac arrest this month. AdvertisementWhen Dodgers officials thought about Ohtani, they conjured fantasies about endless streams of revenue and a decade of contending for the World Series. For a few hours after the story broke, Dodgers team president Stan Kasten wondered if the team had built its future around a fraud. The Dodgers hung nine runs on the Mets in Game 1, eight in Game 3 and 10 in Game 4. In Game 6, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza turned to Sean Manaea, his best starter, who had quieted the Dodgers in Game 2.

A drone strike was launched towards Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's house in the town of Caesarea, north of Tel Aviv, on Saturday morning, according to the Israeli Prime Minister's office. The Israel Defense Forces said a drone crossing from Lebanon "hit a structure in the area of Caesarea," while Israeli news outlet Ynet reported the sound of an explosion in the town.

Following the confirmation of Sinwar's death, Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group and Hamas ally in Lebanon, vowed to escalate fighting against Israel.

☆ Meta fires employees for spending food allowances on personal items like acne pads and wine glasses

New York CNN —Meta fired around two dozen employees from its Los Angeles office for misusing company meal credits for things like laundry detergent, wine glasses and acne treatment pads, a source familiar with the company confirmed to CNN. Many of the social media giant’s corporate offices feature elaborate food services to provide employees with meals as a perk. Meta’s two-year-old office near New York City’s Penn Station, for example, features a cafeteria that feels like an upscale food court, with various stalls all free for staff. An internal investigation found that some LA-based employees used the meal funds to purchase things other than food instead, or had meals delivered to their homes, the source said. Meta’s median total annual compensation for individual employees (other than CEO Mark Zuckerberg) is $379,050, the company said in a regulatory filing earlier this year.
