Alaska opens criminal probe over a "second Dan Sullivan." Alaska's governor ordered a criminal investigation into Democratic Senate nominee Mary Peltola's campaign after The New York Times reported that operatives tied to the campaign recruited a second Dan Sullivan — retired teacher Dan J. Sullivan, who switched his registration to Republican just before the filing deadline — to draw votes from Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan on the state's four-candidate ballot. The Times said the effort, dubbed the "ballot composition project," began in summer 2025 and involved campaign lawyers and senior DSCC aides. Peltola and the DSCC deny the report. President Trump called for Peltola to quit the race and be prosecuted, and has ordered the Justice Department to block certification if Sen. Sullivan loses.

 

 

Judge rejects bid to set aside 20,000 California ballots. U.S. District Judge David Carter denied the Trump administration's request to force California to immediately segregate about 20,000 ballots from people it says are "likely noncitizens," ruling the move would "wreak havoc and disrupt the election that is already underway." The ruling came two days after the administration made a similar request of Washington state involving hundreds of ballots.

 

James O'Keefe charged with unlawful voting in Minnesota. Hennepin County prosecutors charged conservative activist James O'Keefe and an associate with election fraud, saying they entered multiple polling places and identified themselves using the names of registered voters without permission while staging videos in costume. County Attorney Mary Moriarty said state law clearly bars misrepresenting one's identity to obtain a ballot.

Pentagon puts the cost of the Iran war at $47 billion. A U.S. Central Command estimate shared with Congress puts the cost of the war with Iran at at least $47 billion, up more than $3 billion from a month earlier, with about $29 billion going to replace munitions. Meanwhile, Iranian officials reported three more oil tankers on fire after striking mines near the Strait of Hormuz, as mediators discuss a seven-day plan to reopen the waterway.

Alphabet suffers its worst day ever. Alphabet shares fell nearly 13% after its third-quarter report, wiping out about $482 billion in market value — the second-largest one-day loss for any US-listed company, behind only Nvidia's January 2025 drop. Google Cloud revenue more than doubled to about $31 billion, but search revenue of about $63 billion missed estimates and free cash flow swung to a roughly $9 billion loss as AI spending climbed. Amazon, reporting after the bell, posted 39% AWS growth but a record cash burn, and its shares fell after hours.

Judge in the Maduro case dies at 92. Alvin Hellerstein, the veteran Southern District of New York judge overseeing the prosecution of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, has died at 92. The couple, who have pleaded not guilty, face trial in June of next year.

알파벳, 사상 최악의 하루. 알파벳 주가는 3분기 실적 발표 후 약 13% 급락해 시가총액 약 4,820억 달러가 증발했습니다. 미국 상장사 단일 거래일 손실로는 엔비디아에 이어 두 번째 규모입니다. 구글 클라우드 매출은 두 배 이상 늘었지만 검색 매출이 예상에 못 미쳤고, AI 투자 확대로 잉여현금흐름이 적자로 돌아섰습니다.
