President Donald Trump will make two trips to Iowa before the November 3, 2026 general election, on October 22 and November 1, according to Iowa Republican Party Chairman Jeff Kaufmann, though details have not been released. Several Iowa races are considered tight, including the U.S. Senate contest between Republican Ashley Hinson and Democrat Josh Turek, rated a toss-up, and three of the state's four Republican-held House seats are seen as possible Democratic pickups. Republicans are highlighting spending cuts and tax reductions, while Democrats argue that high costs, inflation, healthcare, the continuing U.S. war with Iran and Medicaid cuts have hurt Americans. Despite the tight races, Republicans still hold a lead in registered voters in the state.

- EDITORIAL : Do We Even Want Development in Pagosa Springs ? Part Two – Pagosa Daily Post News Events & Video for Pagosa Springs Colorado
U.S. housing starts fell 12.4% in July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.24 million units, and multifamily starts dropped 16.8%, according to a report cited by the National Association of Home Builders. The author says construction has also slowed in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, where a builder lowered the asking price on a spec home and homes are not selling as quickly as during COVID. The Pagosa Area Water and Sanitation District's 2027 draft budget proposes a 15% increase in monthly water and wastewater fees, partly because Capital Investment Fee revenue is expected to fall; the district expected $2.3 million from these fees in 2025 but collected $1.6 million. The piece argues that a 2024 policy splitting costs 50/50 between existing customers and new development sharply raised CIF charges, and that a proposed 70 acre subdivision by Modern Community Builders LLC could bring hundreds of new homes. The author, a volunteer PAWSD director, notes the views are his or her own and not necessarily those of the board or staff.
- Election 2026 Campaign Diary : Who won the political play on the campaign this week ?
Labour campaign chairman Kieran McAnulty said he preferred a coalition with the Greens and Opportunity over Te Pāti Māori, as Labour is campaigning to oust Te Pāti Māori from all Māori seats. In the TVNZ debate, Opportunity leader Qiulae Wong distinguished her party from the Greens and argued it could work with National to keep out extreme ideas, which lets Labour and the Greens argue that a vote for Opportunity could mean a National government. The article says Christopher Luxon wrongly claimed the government raised the minimum wage in line with inflation for three years: increases of 2%, 1.5% and 2% trailed CPI of 4%, 2.5% and 3.1%, while Labour-era increases were ahead of inflation. It also notes Green and Te Pāti Māori MPs and candidates posed with the Mongrel Mob for social media, a move the Greens may not fully realise could cause damage.
- S&P 500, Nasdaq See Worst Day In Over Two Months As Chipmaker Rout Deepens, CPI Data Comes In Hot — AAPL, SPCX, DRAM, SOXX In Focus
The S&P 500 fell 1.1% and the Nasdaq 100 dropped 2% on Wednesday, their worst day in over two months, as chip stocks sold off. September inflation ran hotter than expected, with consumer prices up 0.6% month-over-month and 3.7% year-over-year versus a 3.6% forecast, and core CPI rising 0.3% and 2.6%, mainly driven by energy costs. Analysts said the data keeps a December Fed rate hike on the table, though TD Securities still expects the Fed to hold and favor December. Separately, Apple plans to launch its AI platform in mainland China in December, and Gartner warned tech firms could write off more than $3.5 trillion in AI infrastructure investments by the end of 2030.
- META Stock Dips Overnight After Best Day In Two Weeks: Muse Traction Draws Jim Cramer’s ‘Monster Long’ Call, Dan Ives Sees An AI Edge
Meta Platforms (META) slipped 0.5% in overnight trading after rising 3.4% in the regular session, its best day in about two weeks, amid a broader market selloff over AI durability fears. Jim Cramer called it a “monster long,” citing Sensor Tower data showing Meta's Muse AI assistant retained 73.3% of new users the day after installation, versus 41.3% for ChatGPT. Analyst Dan Ives said Meta remains a core AI name, while ARK Invest sold 4,520 META shares worth about $3.36 million on Monday. META is up 12.8% year to date.
- B.C. Election: Sparks fly over contentious issues a day after no clear winner in leader debate
A day after a debate with no clear winner, NDP Leader David Eby announced free bus passes for low-income seniors, rapid transit from Surrey to White Rock, and continued work on the Surrey to Langley SkyTrain. Most questions he faced concerned a leaked briefing note showing plans to transfer 400 plots of Crown land to First Nations without compensating forestry companies; Eby said many plots are covered by older agreements and the aim is to reduce fiscal costs. Conservative Leader Lorne Doerkson promised a new women and children's hospital in Surrey and to revisit the Massey Tunnel replacement with a 10-lane bridge, which Eby said would add two to four years and push costs beyond the already inflated $8.5 billion. Green Leader Emily Lowan proposed raising minimum wage above inflation every year until a living wage is reached, while Research Co. president Mario Canseco said the lack of a knockout blow could hurt the trailing NDP.

- Jensen Huang: “Two Gigawatts to Us Is Like $80 Billion.” 43 New Gigawatts Coming in 2027
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said two gigawatts of AI capacity, like the ones Nvidia announced in Australia, are worth about $80 billion to the company, up from about $18 billion per gigawatt previously. He attributed the increase to Nvidia now selling far more of each data center, including networking, CPUs, storage and security, not just GPUs. Citing SemiAnalysis's Dylan Patel on the BG2 podcast, Altimeter Capital's Brad Gerstner said 43 gigawatts of new AI compute will come online next year. At about $40 billion per gigawatt, Nvidia would need around 17 gigawatts to reach the $692 billion revenue estimate for fiscal 2028, though Huang said land, power and data center buildings are the main obstacles to the build-out.
- The Investment Case for JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)
Diamond Hill's Large Cap Strategy returned 3.18% net of fees in Q3 2026, outperforming the 2.61% return of the Russell 1000 Value Index, and added JPMorgan Chase as a new holding. The firm said JPMorgan's scale should support continued technology investment that improves efficiency, helping contain expense growth and drive operating leverage. It expects below-average returns across the market due to high equity valuations, though attractive bottom-up opportunities remain. As of October 16, 2026, JPM closed at $339.72, with a $903.04 billion market cap, up 5.43% year-to-date and trading in a 52-week range of $279.10 to $366.50. Hedge fund portfolios holding JPM fell to 113 at the end of Q2 from 131 the previous quarter.
