The GOP’s midterm advantage | America, Actually

The Republican Party is entering the midterm home stretch with a staggering $1 billion campaign war chest — nearly double that of comparable Democratic groups. But with President Donald Trump’s approval ratings falling and voters feeling the hit to their wallets, can cash counter a blue wave? New York Times national political correspondent Shane Goldmacher joins Vox’s Astead Herndon to break down the GOP’s massive financial edge. Plus, why Republicans are spending millions of dollars to defend deep-red states like Kansas and South Carolina, how small-dollar Democratic donors are reshaping races in Texas, and whether the GOP’s small-donor model can survive in a post-Trump era. 00:00 Can GOP cash stop a blue wave? 02:21 The GOP’s historic fundraising edge 04:50 Who’s bankrolling Trump and Republicans? 08:25 What GOP spending reveals about the Senate map 11:20 Why the GOP’s 2024 ad strategy may not land in 2026 14:51 How campaigns spend to reach voters 17:51 Why Dem governor races struggle to attract money 24:18 How donors shape the AI debate 26:17 What role will AIPAC play in November? 28:49 Who can raise money after Trump? 30:38 Takeaways America, Actually publishes video episodes every Saturday tackling key issues in politics, culture, and the economy.

The immigration myths Americans have adopted

There are "many myths" Americans adopted over time about immigration, says author and sociologist Nancy Foner. Foner discussed some of those common myths with PBS News' Judy Woodruff. "There are these many myths that are important because they set up these immigrant heroes and heroines who were somehow superior, did things the right way, moved ahead, became American right away," she said. "And against that, it's very hard to compete because that didn't happen." Foner, author of "Immigration: How the Past Shapes the Present," joined Woodruff for her series, Crossroads: America at 250.

Want to win an election? Try a thirst trap.

In the run-up to the midterms, the Democrats are employing a novel strategy to capture voter attention: thirst traps. From videos of Abdul El-Sayed pumping iron to Senator John Ossoff and his “Atticus Finch cosplay,” candidates are getting a boost from fan cams posted across social media. Grace Panetta of The 19th says a lot of these videos, many of which are fan-made, are a way that Democrats are trying to gain back the ground they lost on the internet during the election in 2024.

School roof collapse kills at least 35 in Pakistan

The roof of a private school in northwest Pakistan collapsed during morning classes on Thursday, killing at least 34 children and a teacher. Authorities in the city of Peshawar said rescue workers arrived within minutes, and that rapid response saved dozens of lives. Crews cleared debris, with officials saying everyone trapped beneath the rubble was eventually pulled out. Hospital officials say more than 50 other people were injured, some in critical condition. The local police chief says the school's owner has been arrested. Thousands of mourners attended a mass funeral later in the day. The children killed or injured were all between the ages of 6 and 14 and all lived in the same neighborhood as the school. Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.

How immigration via Ellis Island was 'simpler' than today

America's history is, in part, a "history of immigration," says sociologist Nancy Foner. That history includes "people coming here to make a better life for themselves and their families, in some cases to flee persecution, so that immigration is really in the lifeblood of America," she told PBS News' Judy Woodruff. Foner, the author of "Immigration: How the Past Shapes the Present," added that every time the United States has had large waves of immigration, there's also been a "negative reaction among some parts of the population."

Who is Elizabeth Holmes, the subject of Nathan Fielder's new documentary?

Who is Elizabeth Holmes, the former chief executive officer of biotech firm Theranos and subject of the new Nathan Fielder documentary “You Can See Everything”? Along with Theranos president and Chief Operating Officer Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani, Holmes was convicted of defrauding investors of hundreds of millions of dollars. They claimed that Theranos’ blood testing machines were a revolutionary technology, and that their machines could produce a more accurate and less expensive test result with only a finger prick. Trial evidence showed Holmes knew the Theranos machines did not work, and that Holmes and Balwani falsely represented test results to pharmaceutical companies. Theranos even inked a deal to put their machines in Walgreens stores across the country. The disgraced tech CEO is now the subject of “You Can See Everything,” after comedian and filmmaker Nathan Fielder was granted access to follow Holmes in the weeks leading up to her imprisonment. Fielder, perhaps best known for the HBO series “The Rehearsal,” is known for his intricate recreations and rehearsals. In one episode, he painstakingly recreates a New York City bar so a participant can practice revealing a secret to his trivia team inside the familiar space. Fielder then reveals he also rebuilt the participant’s apartment so he could rehearse their first meeting. Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.

Florida sees largest Dengue outbreak in years

Cases of locally acquired Dengue fever have set yet another record in Florida. The Florida Department of Health has tracked 368 cases of locally acquired illness across eight counties so far this year — topping the state’s previous record of 199 set in 2023. The department’s latest weekly report found 72 cases of locally acquired dengue were reported from Oct. 4 through 10, up from 44 cases the week before. The outbreak appears to be the largest in several decades in the continental U.S. Ninety-five percent of this year’s cases are centered in Tampa Bay’s Hillsborough County. Dengue Fever is a virus that causes high fever, headache, body aches, nausea and rash. It is not contagious between humans but rather is spread between people by infected Aedes aegypti mosquitos. Dengue cases aren’t unheard of in Florida. But they are generally seen in individuals who have recently traveled outside of the continental U.S., rather than transmitted locally. And because between 40 and 80% of people infected with Dengue are asymptomatic, the number of locally acquired cases in Florida are likely much higher than reported. A big way to help limit the spread of the disease, experts say, is to limit mosquito breeding. Individuals in Florida, or anywhere where mosquitos are out of control, should check for standing water on their properties at least once a week and dump it out. Doing so will kill any developing larvae. To limit bites from existing mosquitos, wear mosquito repellent and protective clothing.
