WSJ What’s News - How The AI Race is Driving an Energy Wild West
A.M. Edition for Oct. 16. President Trump has authorized CIA covert operations in Venezuela, with the president saying land strikes in the country are also possible.

And as tech companies try to race ahead in the AI arms race, WSJ’s Jennifer Hiller details how an archaic U.S. power grid is leading companies to build their own power plants to fuel data centers. Caitlin McCabe hosts.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Rome run: Meloni’s surprising stamina
When Giorgia Meloni was elected Italy’s prime minister, many people feared she would prove divisive and volatile. Instead, at a time when many other European governments have been in turmoil, her three years in office have been remarkably tranquil. Why German trains no longer run on time. And a very British battle: conker competitions.

The Daily - Zohran Mamdani Explains His Rise
Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani’s come-from-behind victory in this summer’s Democratic primary for New York City mayor is already the stuff of political legend. But in many ways, the most intriguing phase of his campaign has been the period since then, as he has labored, painstakingly, to win over his skeptics. How, exactly, would a 33-year-old member of the Democratic Socialists of America, with little management experience and a record of polarizing pronouncements, win over enough voters to prevail in the general election?
So far, the polls suggest he’s doing just that.
And so, a few days ago, “The Daily” sat down Mr. Mamdani for an extended conversation about his campaign, the forces and ideas that have animated it and his plans, if elected on Nov. 4, to deliver on his campaign promises and contend with a Republican president who has promised to treat him as an enemy from his first day in office.
Guest: Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City.
Background reading:
- Inside the improbable, audacious and (so far) unstoppable rise of Zohran Mamdani.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Zodiac Killer
1968 marked the beginning of one of the most infamous killing sprees in American history.
For two years, Northern California was terrorized by a series of seemingly random murders. It wasn’t just the killings that terrorized people; it was the fact that the killer taunted the police and the media through a series of cryptic letters sent to newspapers.
Over 50 years later, the case still hasn’t been closed and remains one of the most notorious unsolved crimes in American history.
Learn about the Zodiac Killer, what we know, and speculation surrounding it on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
