👋 Hello! Laura Davis here. It's time for Tuesday's news! |
But first: Are the millennials OK? 😬 A new study took a look into the lives of millennials to find out if they're worse off than their baby boomer counterparts. Here's what they found. |
'A terrifying time' to be Jewish |
Supporters of Israel rallied by the tens of thousands on the National Mall under heavy security Tuesday, voicing solidarity in the fight against Hamas and crying "never again." The "March for Israel" offered a resounding and bipartisan endorsement of one of America's closest allies as criticism has intensified over Israel's offensive in Gaza, set off by the bloody Oct. 7 Hamas incursion. |
| • | In Washington, D.C.: Thousands of demonstrators, many clad in the blue and white of the Israeli flag and carrying signs expressing support for the country, streamed into the National Mall, demanding the release of hostages and condemning an increase in antisemitic incidents across the nation and world. "It's a terrifying time especially to be Jewish," said Gali Hampel, 18, who traveled to the rally from Houston and said she was in Israel on Oct. 7. She said she wants more attention focused on the plight of the 240 hostages still held captive in Gaza. 👉 Follow our live coverage. | | Supporters flock to the National Mall for the "March for Israel" in Washington on Tuesday.

After rising and then moving sideways in recent months, inflation emphatically resumed its descent in October. Consumer price increases chilled more than expected as falling gasoline and used car prices offset another rise in rent and a rebound in health insurance costs. An underlying measure of price increases that the Federal Reserve watches more closely stayed elevated but also pulled back, bolstering the case for the Fed to continue to hold rates steady after a flurry of aggressive hikes. |
| • | A look at the numbers: Consumer prices overall rose 3.2% from a year earlier, down from 3.7% in September, according to the Labor Department's consumer price index. That pulled inflation closer to the two-year low it reached in June and July, before a surge in gas prices. 📊 What does it mean for you?

What everyone's talking about |
Government shutdown averted |
In his first major test as the lower chamber's leader, bipartisan House lawmakers approved newly minted House Speaker Mike Johnson's proposal to avoid a government shutdown. Johnson pushed a two-tiered, short-term measure to fund the government until deadlines in January and February. It's an unusual approach compared to previous bills, which extended all government functions until one deadline. A handful of ultraconservative GOP lawmakers said they intended to vote against the resolution, but a swell of Democrats supported the plan, ensuring its passage. 👉 Here's what we know. | Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) holds a press conference with House Republican leadership on Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023 in Washington.
