- Democrats map out an agenda to address affordability and corruption after midterm sweep
Newly elected Democratic majorities in the Senate and House plan to pass a flurry of bills soon after taking office in January, focusing on affordability, including high costs for gas and groceries, CNBC reports. In their first 100 hours, House Democrats plan to restore expired enhanced health insurance subsidies and reverse Medicaid cuts Trump signed last year, while the party also plans to push a bill undoing his sweeping tariffs and to vote again on ending the Iran war. Democrats are also mapping oversight investigations of Trump, his family, cabinet and business supporters, though Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said targets have not yet been evaluated. Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, pledged to make billionaires pay their fair share of taxes and to scrutinize insurers and pharmaceutical CEOs. Some Democrats are also pushing an ethics package that could ban stock trading by officials and limit super PAC spending.
- Trump's White House prepares a scenario to act without Congress
Citing three anonymous sources, Reuters reports that the White House has spent months preparing ways for President Donald Trump to pursue key agenda items through executive action if Democrats win control of Congress in the Nov. 3 midterm elections. Measures under review include tariffs on imported minerals and wind turbines, tighter visas for international students and temporary foreign workers, and steps to lower housing and construction costs. Democrats need to win at least 4 more House seats and take control of the Senate to overturn the Republicans' current majorities of 218-214 in the House and 53-47 in the Senate. Nathan Gonzales of Inside Elections expects Trump to keep governing by executive order if Democrats take a majority, while the White House rejects the idea that Republicans could lose.
- Newly released poll shows Democrats maintaining edge in Ohio Senate, gubernatorial races
A new Bowling Green State University poll with YouGov finds Democrat Sherrod Brown leading incumbent Sen. Jon Husted 48% to 42%, and Democrat Amy Acton leading Republican Vivek Ramaswamy 50% to 44% in the Ohio governor’s race. President Donald Trump’s approval in the state sits at just 39%, after he carried Ohio by 11 percentage points in 2024, with majorities opposing the war in Iran and his tariffs. Roughly a tenth of Trump’s 2024 voters say they plan to back Brown and Acton. If Acton wins, she would be Ohio’s first Democratic governor since 2006, while Brown’s win would restore mixed party control of the state’s Senate delegation. Election Day is Nov. 3, and over 450,000 ballots had already been cast as of Oct. 19.

- Healey and Minogue meet in unbridled final debate before election
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey (Democrat) and Republican challenger Mike Minogue clashed in their final debate before Election Day, focusing on affordability and President Trump. Healey blamed Trump's policies, including tariffs and a war, for rising costs and invoked Trump 13 times during the debate. Both candidates backed cutting the state gas tax, with Healey proposing to cut its 24-cent-a-gallon tax and Minogue pushing to reduce home-building permit times to 45 days. On abortion, Healey said she trusts women and their doctors, while Minogue, who describes himself as pro-life, pledged to uphold the law and accused Healey of attacking his faith. The candidates also sparred over natural gas pipelines and state police scandals, including a reported sexual assault at a barracks on Martha's Vineyard.
- Democrats must fight impeachment , for their sake and ours
This opinion piece by retired constitutional law professor Solomon D. Stevens argues that Democrats should not pursue impeachment of President Trump. He cites public frustration over rising prices and interest rates, tariffs, immigration enforcement and the war with Iran, and notes that Democrats are planning broad investigations. Conviction requires a two-thirds Senate vote, which he considers practically impossible, and Trump has already been impeached twice without result. He argues impeachment would distract Congress from practical bills that address Americans' needs, and that a failed trial would look like a vindication for Trump.

- Top VC: The Best AI Models Take “80% Plus” of Spend. And Alphabet’s Gemini Just Ranked No. 1
Alphabet's Gemini 4 Carbon ranks first on Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index with a score of 59, but Anthropic and OpenAI still hold 86% of enterprise LLM API spend, up from 67%, and few customers can use Carbon yet. a16z's Martin Casado argues the best frontier models capture over 80% of market spending weighted by dollars, though he puts a model's lifespan at three to six months. Alphabet still earns from the labs that win through Google Cloud, whose revenue grew 103% last quarter from selling computing and TPUs to customers including Anthropic and, reportedly, Meta. Free cash flow is expected to be negative $18.0 billion this year as capital spending rises. Fourth-quarter results, due in early February, will be the first to cover a full quarter of Gemini 4.
- Musk Says Data Centers in Space “Looking Pretty Appealing Right Now” as SpaceX Sinks on Blue Wave
SpaceX (SPCX) shares fell 2% and Tesla (TSLA) dropped 3% after Democrats swept the midterms, including in Texas, where the newly elected governor campaigned on halting new data center construction. Dan Ives of Yorkville warned the blue wave could slow AI data center build-outs, while Elon Musk replied that data centers in space were “looking pretty appealing right now.” The article says Shaun Maguire’s bullish Sequoia model draws most of its 2028 revenue from ground-based data centers and assumes only a 20% political slowdown, an assumption now under pressure. Wall Street consensus for 2028 revenue is $336 billion, and the author argues orbital compute won’t fill the gap by 2028, making the 2028 estimates the ones to watch. SpaceX spent $19.6 billion on capex in the third quarter, with most of this year’s spending going to its data center segment.
- Bill Ackman: Netflix “an Incredibly Cheap Stock” After a 55% Drop. But Is He Right?
Netflix (NFLX) stock is down about 55% from its June 2025 high. Bill Ackman called Netflix “an incredibly cheap stock,” arguing the market is focused on engagement, as viewing hours fall because the content mix is changing. Average viewing time per member fell 26% over three years, much of it going to YouTube, but Netflix said churn improved year over year in the third quarter, both globally and in the U.S. The stock trades at 17x forward earnings, a little over half its five-year average of 32x, while analysts expect EPS to rise to $4.51 in 2028 from $2.53 in 2025. The main risk is that less viewing turns into cancellations, and Netflix’s 2027 guidance in January is the next test.
