Federal agents search Rep. Ilhan Omar's home. Homeland Security Investigations agents executed a court-authorized search warrant at the Washington, D.C.-area home of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) early Monday, about three weeks before the Nov. 3 midterms. The Justice Department confirmed the search but gave no details; Fox News, citing unnamed sources, reported it relates to alleged immigration-paperwork fraud dating to her childhood. No charges have been filed. Omar called it an attempt to weaponize federal law enforcement and said, "I will not be silenced." President Trump told reporters he had "nothing to do" with the search.

Bipartisan senators demand Trump reverse his Russian diesel deal. A dozen senators — including Republicans Thom Tillis, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski alongside Democrats such as Jeanne Shaheen and Richard Blumenthal — urged the president to withdraw from his agreement with Vladimir Putin to import Russian diesel and to rescind the Treasury sanctions waiver that allows it. They called the deal "a betrayal of the people of Ukraine," argued it would do little to lower fuel prices, and said it conflicts with the Russia sanctions law Trump signed last month. Trump has defended the waiver as relief for high pump prices.

Six Flags shuts nine coasters after a fatal fall in Georgia. A 42-year-old Atlanta man, Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem, died Monday after falling from the Goliath hypercoaster at Six Flags Over Georgia in Austell; police said several other people were injured. Six Flags temporarily closed nine rides at six parks nationwide as a precaution, including Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey, while Georgia investigators review video, maintenance logs and witness accounts.

Two Americans win the Nobel Prize in economics. Robert E. Hall of Stanford University and Michael Woodford of Columbia University were awarded the 2026 economics prize "for microeconomic foundations of macroeconomic stabilisation" — research on how policymakers can respond to economic shocks. The prize carries 12 million Swedish kronor (about $1.2 million).

Musk's midterm money tops $366 million. The New York Times reports Elon Musk has given Republicans $366 million in the 2025–2026 election cycle, including $158 million to the Senate Leadership Fund. Separately, watchdog group Public Citizen found that companies that benefited from 212 canceled federal enforcement actions have given more than $210 million to MAGA Inc. and other Trump-aligned super PACs.
