Democrats secured control of the Senate on Tuesday, a seismic shift that effectively blocks President Trump's campaign to reshape the Federal Reserve and neutralizes what many ******* ysts viewed as a threat to the central bank's independence.
It also heightens the challenge for Trump should he maneuver to replace any sitting officials.
"Democrats' control of the Senate reclaims the party's ability to approve or deny the President's nominees for judges and heads of other executive branch agencies," Jonathan Pingle, an economist for UBS, wrote in a note. "That includes the need for Democrats to approve any new members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System should one of the existing governors step aside."
That political firewall directly impacts the administration's ongoing effort to remove Fed governor Lisa Cook. Trump fired Cook in August 2025, claiming she committed mortgage fraud by making misrepresentations on loan documents years before her appointment to the central bank. Cook, a Biden appointee, has denied any wrongdoing and sued. The lawsuit has gone through multiple court rungs before reaching the Supreme Court earlier this year.
Last month, Trump established a committee to determine whether her statements constituted legal "cause" for removal from the central bank, signaling that his efforts to oust her are continuing.

An ordinary laptop used to be the kind of purchase you could put off until the old one finally gave up.
I recently discussed this in my story, Intel CEO reveals a PC problem as Goldman cuts stock target, in which I shared how my friends struggled to choose new PCs due to soaring prices.
Moreover, the tech punditry says the problem goes deeper than a few disappointing deals.
Now, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) CEO Lisa Su has delivered a similar warning on November 3, echoing Intel (INTC) CEO Lip-Bu Tan's concerns about a difficult year ahead for the PC market in 2027.
Most of that pressure's coming from memory prices, but interestingly, AMD itself posted record quarterly sales, largely driven by booming server-chip sales.

Jennifer Lopez is raising eyebrows among her friend group by giving new man Brett Goldstein a very Ben Affleck-esque makeover, a source tells Star.
"When she looks in the mirror, she sees every little detail and how it could be improved and she tends to do the same thing with the men she dates," reveals the source. "She's not mean about it, she just helps them to look their best, and there's no denying her men always get a glow-up when they start dating her."
And her former Office Romance costar, 46, is no different.
"She's picking his clothes, advising him on how to style his hair and his beard, even his trademark eyebrows have gotten way less bushy since they got together," the source notes. "The funny thing is, her idea of his best look is getting closer and closer to Ben's. She's choosing all the same styles she likes on Ben. Even the way she's got him grooming his beard is the way she likes Ben's beard."

The Atlanta Dream is celebrating 18 years, and one of the women credited with bringing the dream to the city has also helped women find their place in the spotlight.

Channel 2's Karyn Greer sat down exclusively with former Atlanta City Council President and WNBA President Lisa Borders to talk about the team and her family's civil rights legacy.
Borders served as the 4th WNBA president a decade ago and she told Greer she is so proud to still be part of the Dream's support system. In fact, she calls all the women in the league her daughters.
For Borders, the Atlanta Dream is more than a team to cheer for, its a team she helped bring to life.

SAO PAULO, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won a historic fourth term on Sunday, the country's electoral court said, in a shock result that defied polls, precedent and global anti-incumbent sentiment to put the brakes on a wave of right-wing election victories across Latin America.
However, his opponent Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, the eldest son of former President Jair ‌Bolsonaro, refused to accept defeat and said he would ask for the result to be annulled due to a Sunday ruling from a Supreme Court justice that extended voting for two hours.
Bolsonaro led the election's first ‌round but lost in the runoff by over 4 million votes, rattling Brazilian financial markets which had bet on his victory. His refusal to concede defeat has echoes of his father's reaction after losing to Lula in 2022. Jair Bolsonaro never accepted his loss and was later sentenced by the Supreme Court to 27-years in prison for plotting a coup to remain in power.
The scale of Flavio Bolsonaro's loss to Lula — by more than twice his father's losing margin — and the fact his campaign also asked for an extension due to rains in the conservative-leaning south make any annulment unlikely, **** ysts said.

After the false start and the worst start, Michael Carrick ******* ounced it a fresh start. Manchester United have their fewest wins in their opening seven league games of a campaign for 40 years – just the one – and have not tasted victory in six matches in all competitions. Their manager nevertheless emerged from consecutive away games that brought defeat to Atletico Madrid and a draw at Leeds appearing more upbeat about their prospects.
"I understand the situation doesn't look too good if you look at it from a certain way, but I got no doubts that we can go on a good run," he said. That certain way could involve referencing results or the league table; seven games in, the club who finished third last season are already nine points adrift of the top three.
Carrick believes he has detected a good feeling around his squad, whether or not it stems from Lisandro Martinez's public criticism of director of football Jason Wilcox. "I felt like [it was] a bit of a fresh start today and where we're at, and accepting it and doing something about it," he said. Perhaps not doing enough about it, given the result was exactly the same – a 1-1 draw – as in their previous two league games.
Michael Carrick thinks Man United's new-look midfield, including Youri Tielemans (pictured), can lead their rebuild (Reuters)
If there is improvement in Carrick's camp, it has come from a low bar. And, in fairness, the performances in the intimidating atmospheres of the Metropolitano and Elland Road are not among United's four worst this season – Hull, Manchester City, Brighton, Tottenham – but, again, that is scarcely a compliment.

Michael Carrick has shed some light on Manchester United's injury problems of late.
The manager addressed reporters following Manchester United's 1-1 draw at Elland Road against rivals Leeds United yesterday.
(Photo via ManUtd on Twitter/X)
Post-match, Carrick said that the reason Lisandro Martinez had to be withdrawn at the interval was that he had suffered a 'thigh problem' in the first 45 minutes.
Keen to not make it any worse, the centre-half was hooked before play got back underway, with Noussair Mazraoui taking his place.

Michael Douglas was thousands of miles away from Catherine Zeta-Jones when they first started dating, but apparently, another famous man was finding reasons to spend time with the actress.
The couple had to make long distance work after meeting in 1998 (@ Getty Images)
In his new memoir, One ***** of a Ride, Douglas recalls that Kobe Bryant, who lived above Zeta-Jones' home in Pacific Palisades, California, kept stopping by while the couple was trying to make their long-distance relationship work.
"Apparently Kobe kept finding excuses to stop by Catherine's house. I'm not sure how many times he 'lost his dog,' but it was a lot!" Douglas wrote.

She was one of the '80s most recognizable movie stars, with roles in Karate Kid, Back to the Future II and III and more. And while she has worked consistently ever since, Elisabeth Shue has also raised three children with her husband Davis Guggenheim.
Elisabeth married the documentary maker in 1994, and they are parents to son Miles, born in 1997, and daughters Stella, born in 2001, and Agnes, born in 2006. Let's get to know more about their grown-up children now…
The Karate Kid actress welcomed her first child Miles William in 1997. His middle name was chosen in honour of Elisabeth's brother, who died in a tragic accident in 1988.
Elisabeth and Davis raised their children away from the public eye, and Miles continues to maintain a low profile into adulthood. He reportedly graduated from Brown University with a Bachelor's degree in Literary Arts.
Miles is credited as a production ******* istant on Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie, which was directed by his father, Davis Guggenheim.

Lisa Vanderpump's nephew, Sam Vanderpump, recently opened up about his ongoing health struggles. The 29-year-old Made in Chelsea star shared that he is still awaiting a liver transplant following his diagnosis of end-stage liver disease.
Sam announced his diagnosis publicly in October 2025. The announcement came months after he suffered severe liver and kidney failure following sepsis in December 2024. In an Instagram post, he shared that he "lives with a genetic liver condition and polycystic kidney disease (PKD)."
While appearing on the October 7 episode of Good Morning Britain, Sam said, "When I was first told that I needed a transplant, they said maybe [in] the next two years I'd have a transplant. I think we're already a year down the line, and luckily my health hasn't deteriorated. But that is the fear."
The reality star, who dyed his hair pink to raise awareness about organ donation, said he has received an overwhelming response from fans. However, he clarified that getting a transplant is not that simple. Sam explained that organ donation follows a "certain procedure" that he cannot arrange himself.
"So if someone were interested in being a live donor for me, they would have to contact the hospital, King's College Hospital, and go through that route themselves," he added. "So, it's kind of like you're caught between a rock and a hard place. You want to get further up the list, but you don't want your health to deteriorate."

On Wednesday, October 7, Elvis Presley's ex-wife took to Instagram with a snapshot of the birthday girls along with a message for their big day.

Zendaya is facing backlash after a video of her meeting France's First Lady went viral. The clip, shared by Paris Match, shows the actress staying seated while Brigitte Macron stopped by to say ******* o at the Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion Week. The brief moment has caught everyone's attention online, with many debating whether she should have stood up.
Zendaya's seated ******* o to Brigitte Macron leaves social media divided. The 30-year-old actress sat in the front row at Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2027 show on Tuesday. The show was held in the Cour Carrée of the Louvre.
In the video shared online, Macron, 73, walks through the front row, greeting guests like Pharrell Williams and Lisa of BLACKPINK. She then pauses to speak with Zendaya. At first glance, the exchange looks warm and friendly. But upon closer look, Zendaya never rises from her seat. Reportedly, she said ******* o, told Macron it was a pleasure to meet her, and shook her hand.
The clip quickly sparked debate online. Some viewers criticized Zendaya for remaining seated, with one viral reaction saying she "gotta get up" when the First Lady says ******* o. Many viewers agreed, saying standing would have been the polite thing to do. "When the Premier Dame from France Talks to You please get up," one Instagram user wrote. Another commenter, who said she loves Zendaya, noted that American culture seems more relaxed about formalities than others.
Others came to her defense. Some fans suggested she may have been caught off guard, pointing out that the greeting was quick and unplanned. A few added that a busy front row at a fashion show isn't exactly a formal setting, and that Zendaya came across as gracious and polite throughout. Neither Zendaya nor Macron has addressed the reactions yet. For the unversed, Zendaya is a Louis Vuitton ambassador and a regular at the brand's Paris shows.

From brunettes to bangs and graying locs, the stars are showing off major hair transformations while front row at Paris Fashion Week.
Nicole Kidman, while attending Chanel's ready-to-wear spring/summer 2027 show in Paris on Oct. 5, debuted a new look that lets her typical blonde curtain bangs fall even lower, which in some shots nearly conceal her eyes from view.
Kidman, 59, paired the look with a tweed gray Chanel blazer dress and black tights. She was joined by 15-year-old daughter Faith Kidman Urban, a day after her older daughter, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, 18, walked the runway for Valentino.
Lisa Bonet popped up at the Celine spring/summer 2027 collection show with a more dramatic transformation, marking her first public appearance in four years by showing off her full-on gray locs. Her light gray naturally loose curls peeked through at the top, with her longer, deeper gray locs underneath.
Bonet, 58, spoke to Harper's Bazaar about the collection, designed by Michael Rider, in which she complimented the "freshness" and "relevance" Rider is bringing to fashion.

A family friend of Chad Lowe's late daughter, Fiona, is sharing some insight into the teen's mindset ahead of her tragic death.
Music executive Mykesha Robinson, whose daughter Faith was best friends with Fiona in elementary school, told the Daily Mail that "something happened" to the 13-year-old after the devastating fires ravaged Los Angeles' Pacific Palisades neighborhood in January 2025, killing at least 28 people and destroying more than 16,000 structures, including the Lowe family home.
"They lost everything," Robinson added.
Robinson claimed that Faith and Fiona met on the first day of school at Palisades Charter Elementary School in the Pacific Palisades, California, and quickly became "two peas in a pod," earning the nickname "FiFi" among their friends.

Lisa Bonet made a rare public appearance during Paris Fashion Week, arriving at the Celine show with her silver hair flowing to her waist.
The actress, 58, who became a household name playing Denise Huxtable in The Cosby Show, wore her long locks loose for the outing, with grey lengths taking centre stage in photographs from the event.
Lisa has largely kept away from the Hollywood spotlight in recent years, making her appearance at the French fashion house's show a welcome sight for fans of the television star.
Lisa made an ultra rare appearance (@ Instagram)
While her waist-length hair attracted attention in Paris, Lisa has been wearing visible grey strands for years. Photographs from the 2012 Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards showed silver at her roots, alongside a partially shaved hairstyle and long locs. Her hair has since become progressively greyer, with the latest appearance showing the striking silver lengths.

Billy Crystal stopped by Wednesday night's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to explain the origins of his new, one-man Broadway show and reveal why he is "so grateful" that he gets to actually bring it to audiences.
Crystal **** led the show "860," which was the street address of the house that he and his family lived in for 46 years before it was destroyed last year in California's devastating Palisades Fire. In the aftermath of his home's destruction, Crystal said he began to impulsively film and document every moment on his phone, starting with shots of first responders' planes flying overhead to drop water on the fires.
"I started filming the planes coming over and all that stuff, and I never stopped filming. Whenever there was another event happening, I would just capture everything," Crystal said, adding, "I started, in my mind, writing a narrative about everything that was happening. I didn't know what form it was going to take. It might have been a documentary. It might have just been for us, you know? It kept the pain away from me."
"Over time, I started writing stories that went along with the videos that I was taking," Crystal continued. "It started to be not only very dramatic, but also really funny because most of it takes place inside the house."

Awards show red carpets may be the perfect place to scout the latest formal fashion trends, but they're also major predictors of jewelry fads. We can tell a lot about what accessories might be coming back into fashion based on what ice the A-listers adorn themselves with, and at the 2026 Emmys, a few jewelry trends were abundantly clear. Being a distinguished and prestigious event, the Emmys naturally attracted high-end jewelry style made up of diamonds, other rare gems, and curated pieces from the world's top jewelry houses.
Necklaces are often the first accessory to catch the eye, and this year's show was full of loud, bold, and over-the-top designs that brought all the drama and then some. The common thread through all of 2026's jewelry trends is clear: Quiet luxury is out, and celebrities have taken note. TV stars like Nicole Kidman, Sarah Pidgeon, and Lisa Rinna had all eyes (and camera lenses) on them as they graced the carpet in eye-catching pieces that made it their business to be unforgettable. The Emmys also saw the return of a few more vintage-coded jewelry trends that are perfect for older women in 2026, from classic earring styles to long-adored gemstones straight from the sea.
Many of the biggest stars on the red carpet demonstrated their style expertise by flawlessly rocking more than one of these jewelry trends at once. With these pieces showing up on multiple famous faces — and sometimes layered with each other to create the ultimate style moment— there's no doubt that they're officially the trendiest high-end jewelry movements of the year.

Senate Republicans aren’t happy with the lack of progress in the Iran war and what they say is the administration’s failure to identify clear objectives to end the conflict.
The war continues to be a major drag on GOP candidates as the failure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and new threats facing oil exports from Iranian-backed Houthi militias have sent the prices to nearly $106 a barrel, while raising the national gas price average to $4.37 a gallon.
But Republicans are particularly concerned about the war’s impact on the price of diesel, which has soared to a national average of $6.31 and hit several Senate battleground states — including Alaska, Nebraska, Iowa and Maine — especially hard.
Some Republicans are now floating the idea of embargoing diesel exports produced in the United States to lower prices.
Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) expressed frustration over “the lack of just transparency and information from the administration on what’s happening, what we should expect, the costs,” joining other GOP senators who have expressed similar grievances.
