NEW: Election experts warn the DOJ's lawsuit seeking to stop California from counting roughly 20k ballots from alleged noncitizens could lay the groundwork for challenges to election results. And the timing, one expert said, made it appear the DOJ was "almost seeming to try to set California up."

The real reason the Trump administration is targeting California right now? Its 52 congressional seats could decide control of the House. And because counting every mail ballot there has historically taken weeks, Trump will have a window to try to interfere. Marc Elias explains👇

In a HUGE escalation of Trump's attacks on elections, the administration has sued California over potentially 20,000 ballots of "likely non-citizens." But there is an ulterior motive here, and it's scary. Things move fast, but we move faster. Support our work: demdock.com/4jpJloV

This is a sad, desperate attempt by Trump to use his politicized Justice Department to try to suppress California voters just three weeks before Election Day. Courts have made clear the federal government has no role in running state elections.

This is an absurd prayer for relief. I've never seen anything like this. I don't even understand how you can ask for this, and I can't imagine this goes anywhere beyond creating confusion. It's an extremely irresponsible action that further undermines the legitimacy of the Justice Department.

CPI isn't a big deal unless you're one of those rare people who purchases medical care, vehicles, computers/software, or toys. Might also be a problem for people who earn money instead of already having money, but those people should really try having money instead.
By Chris Anstey, Senior Editor

Thanks for joining us today. Here are key takeaways from the September CPI report:
The headline CPI jumped by 0.6% compared with August, as expected by economists, and 3.7% on a year-on-year basis, marking an acceleration from 3.4% the previous month. More than half the monthly increase came from gasoline, which soared 9.1%.
The core CPI, stripping out food and energy, rose 0.3% on the month, more than all but 11 of the 73 economists in Bloomberg’s survey had anticipated. The annual rate accelerated to 2.6%, the fastest pace since June. Increases were broad based, including recreation and used vehicles, airfares and medical care.
Outsize gains in some categories pointed to evidence of both the AI effect and impact from tariffs. On a year-on-year basis, computers and software prices saw record increases, at 9.7% and 28.4% respectively. Toys, up an annual 6.6%, jumped the most since 1988.
Inflation continues to wallop workers. Today’s numbers mean real average hourly earnings contracted by 0.7% last month, the most since May. Real earnings have been shrinking for six straight months now, the longest string since the 2021-23 cost-of-living surge.
The odds of an interest-rate hike by the Federal Reserve in two weeks soared after the release, with Treasuries plunging, stocks sliding and the dollar rising. Two-year yields were up about 12 basis points as of 9:32 a.m. in New York, the S&P 500 opened down 0.4% and the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index hit its highest since May 2025.
