Explainer: 'Voting with your feet', migration to the south (of USA)
Some reasons: High tax and regulatory burdens, declining tech jobs (after post-covid spike), skyrocketing real estate prices. Weather, high traffic levels and crime only exacerbate the exodus. Texas also has a business-friendly environment, is located in central US, has low COL, light regulation, abundant energy. Texas also has high net in-migrant numbers because of its conservative republican political environment being a rare hub. Other factors are low taxes, a robust energy economy low COL and good weather in some hubs.

Your guide to the presidential candidates’ views on foreign policy
Their views of the world, and how to handle its troubles and challenges, paint a sharp contrast between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. Lebanon, Hezbollah and IranAs president, Trump jettisoned the landmark Iran nuclear deal, signed in 2015 by President Barack Obama and five other world powers. Ukraine and RussiaNearly three years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the war is a sharp point of disagreement between Harris and Trump. Latin AmericaExcept for when it comes up in immigration discussions, Latin America has largely been absent from the foreign policy debate during the presidential race. As president, Trump renegotiated the North American Free Trade Agreement, which helped elevate Mexico to become the United States’ top trading partner.

From The Pulpit, Harris Calls Out Trump For Hurricane Misinformation
Florida was in the path of both storms, with Helene also hitting North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, while Milton headed for the open Atlantic. Trump has said the Biden administration’s storm response was lacking, particularly in western North Carolina after Helene. Biden said Trump was “not singularly” to blame for the spread of misinformation but that he has the “biggest mouth.”“They blame me for everything.

Your guide to the presidential candidates’ views on tax policy
“We know that agenda — enhance the child tax credit, raise the corporate rate, tax high-income people.”Trump, he said, “has got a more tax cut orientation. That includes higher standard deductions, a lower top marginal tax rate, bigger child tax credits, lower estate taxes and certain deductions tailored for small businesses. The most expensive part of Harris’ tax plan would be an expansion of the child tax credit, to $3,000 per child — $3,600 for those under 5 years of age — and $6,000 for the first year. How to pay for tax cutsHarris would look to offset the loss of tax revenue by raising the corporate income tax rate to 28% and increasing the long-term capital gains and the net investment income tax for high earners. The Democrat has also proposed enacting a billionaire minimum tax and quadrupling the tax on stock buybacks — something corporations did a lot of with their windfalls from the 2017 tax cuts.

Your guide to the presidential candidates’ views on housing
Vice President Kamala Harris has released a series of housing proposals and has consistently mentioned housing on the campaign trail, in advertisements and in the debate with former President Donald Trump. TrumpTrump, a real estate developer, has fewer specifics than his opponent in addressing housing affordability. Trump’s campaign has said the reduction in the population would lessen demand for housing and therefore lower costs. Harris and Trump share one idea for housing affordability, though they’re both light on details: making more federally owned land available for housing development. Trump’s campaign said that housing affordability worsened during Biden and Harris’ time in office and that the former president would improve the situation.

WashPost: Pakistan's Internet Slows to a Crawl
Pakistan's internet has slowed to a crawl for over two months, sparking accusations of government interference aimed at suppressing protests by supporters of opposition leader Imran Khan. "The internet is working absolutely fine," claimed Information Minister Attaullah Tarar last month, dismissing concerns. Meanwhile, freelancers, ride-hailing drivers, and others who depend on mobile apps for gig work say the impact is crippling. One gig worker, Mohammad Arif, said when he tries to accept rides, his screen freezes. In a nation where only 4 million people have WiFi, compared to 140 million relying on mobile internet, the consequences are widespread.

Your guide to the presidential candidates’ views on health care
Health care — and who would handle it best — has continued to be contested turf in the final weeks of the presidential campaign. Polls show that Americans have ranked health care costs high on the agenda for national leaders. The Biden administration withdrew approval for work requirements in state Medicaid programs and encouraged states to expand coverage. During her vice presidency, the Biden administration rolled out federal regulations that provide broad protection against discrimination based on gender identity by federally funded health care entities. The Biden administration also launched a new office at the White House focused on pandemic preparedness and response.

Your guide to the presidential candidates’ views on immigration
Trump has called for rapid and historic deportations of millions of immigrants who are in the country illegally. And she has pledged to sign a bipartisan border bill negotiated this year that includes hundreds of millions of dollars to continue construction. She has said as far back as 2017 that people who try to come into the country illegally are not criminals. But as the Biden administration encountered record arrivals at the border, she shifted significantly. It contains nothing for the so-called Dreamers who were brought to the country illegally when they were minors.

Poll: Harris up in Pennsylvania, Trump leads in Arizona
Former President Donald Trump is leading by six points in Arizona, while Vice President Kamala Harris leads by four points in Pennsylvania, according to new polls from the New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer and Siena College. Trump's strength in Arizona has been buoyed by voters' concerns about the economy, while Harris has maintained an edge in Pennsylvania largely due to her stance on abortion. Harris' lead in Pennsylvania is within the margin of error, but mirrors a consistent small lead in polling for months. Trump has an 11-point lead over Harris in Pennsylvania on the economy, which grew from a 4-point lead in the Times' September poll. Harris, Trump and outside groups have spent around $350 million in television ads in the state and are frequently visiting for campaign stops.
