The US election is making hiring managers across America feel a bit wobbly, according to a new business survey of more than 500 companies around the globe.

As reported by Reuters, the recruitment consultancy Robert Walters logged a 5 per cent drop in white collar vacancies worldwide between August and September.

Part of the reason, the company said, was that many US firms have frozen their hiring pipelines until we know who will be president in 2025.

“September’s decline in professional job roles globally is a departure from the usual surge of hiring activity we expect at this time of year, and is a direct reflection of the geopolitical tensions, economic outlooks, and industry-specific issues on the global jobs market,” said Robert Walters executive Toby Fowlston.

Donald Trump’s daughter Tiffany Trump, 31, graduated from Georgetown University Law Center in 2020. And according to the former president, she was the best among her peers.

“She was a great student, and she went to a fantastic law school, graduated number one in her class,” he said at an event in Concord, North Carolina tonight.

Nor does Tiffany Trump’s name appear on Georgetown Law’s list of students who graduated in 2020 in the top third or top ten per cent of their class.

Lawyers for Donald Trump have threatened to sue CBS News for deceptively editing last week’s interview with Kamala Harris, Fox News reports.

According to Fox, Trump lawyer Edward Andrew Paltzik has written a letter to the network accusing it of “intentionally misleading the public” by “distort[ing] an interview to try and make their preferred candidate appear coherent and decisive, which Harris most certainly is not.”

The letter reportedly demands that CBS release the full transcript of its interview with Harris, as well as preserving all documents and communications relating to it in case legal action ensues.

Paltzik’s threat builds on Trump’s repeated claims last week that CBS was deliberately deceiving voters when it showed a radically cut-down – and more coherent – version of Harris’s answer to a question about Israel on its flagship show 60 Minutes.

Only on Sunday did the network issue a statement denying Trump’s claims, saying that it routinely edits all its interviews for brevity so that readers can see the subject’s response to a wide range of questions.

The prominent political reporter Olivia Nuzzi has parted ways with New York magazine over her alleged sexting affair with Robert F Kennedy Jr.

Nuzzi, 31, was placed on leave in September after editors learned of her undisclosed “personal relationship” with the carrion-eating scion, which the magazine called “a violation of our readers’ trust.”

Now the publication says it has agreed to a mutual separation with Nuzzi, although both internal and external probes found no evidence that her relationship with RFK Jr led to any bias or inaccuracies in her coverage.

Here’s omething you don’t see every day: a political rally crowd chanting the name of Jesus Christ at a political candidate.

That candidate, of course, is Donald Trump, who is campaigning in Greenville, North Carolina tonight.

“In our movement, we love Christians, we welcome believers, and we embrace followers of Jesus,” said Trump in a clip posted online by journalist Acyn Torabi.

The crowd cheered loudly, before breaking into chants of “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!”

Donald Trump’s proposed agenda could exhaust America’s social security surplus three years earlier than currently projected, my colleague Gustaf Kilander reports.

The Social Security Trust Funds are a $2.8 trillion reserve held by the US government, which swell or wane each year depending on whether tax income exceeds or falls short of social security spending.

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB), a non-partisan think tank that opposes large government deficits, predicts that this reserve will run dry in nine years if nothing changes.

But on Monday, the CRFB warned that Trump’s plans to cut taxes, impose tariffs on foreign goods, and deport potentially millions of people would drain the Funds three years ahead of schedule.

Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk is currently promising a $1 million prize every day to registered voters in seven battleground states who sign a petition produced by his pro-Trump PAC.

But under US federal law, it’s illegal to pay, offer to pay, or accept payment for registering to vote or voting — and punishable up to five years in prison.

So do Musk’s giveaways break that law? My colleague Alex Woodward asked the experts, and at least one of whom believes the answer is “yes”.

At the time, the real-estate mogul bought full-page ads in major newspapers with a headline demanding “BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY.”

The wrongful convictions of the so-called “Central Park Five” were vacated in 2002, and the city paid $41 million in 2014 to settle a civil rights lawsuit.

Trump has not only refused to recant or apologize for those statements, he has also falsely claimed that the men pleaded guilty and suggested that they had “killed a person, ultimately.”

Alex Woodward has the details.

A former Trump administration official – who could serve as a future Donald Trump advisor – has claimed climate change is driving “brainwashed” children to kill themselves.
