Most school districts raise the bulk of their funding through property taxes. But when Native American reservations, military installations or other federal compounds make up large tracts of land inside a district, they are limited in the taxes they can raise. With payments suspended by the shutdown, some districts are already beginning to scale back on spending.

5. DESCRIPTION: Ten years after Brazil’s worst environmental disaster, the Indigenous Krenak people are still mourning what they call “the death of the river.” The 2015 Mariana dam collapse unleashed millions of tons of mining waste, killing 19 and contaminating the Doce River for hundreds of miles. As Brazil prepares to host COP30, critics say weakened environmental oversight and slow reparations reveal unlearned lessons. For the Krenak, whose lives once revolved around the river, the fight for justice — and clean water — continues.

8. DESCRIPTION: (asterisk)(asterisk) EMBARGOED FOR 12:01 a.m. ET(asterisk)(asterisk) Why is it so crucial for countries to come together on climate change? In the leadup to the annual United Nations climate conference, the UN Development Program has released new data about how climate change is going to affect agriculture, extreme weather and other factors that often mean life or death for people in poverty. They find that even in developed nations relatively sheltered from climate change, over 80% of poor people are exposed to at least one climate hazard, like drought, air pollution or extreme heat. And they show the many crops that will face yield declines in the coming decades, especially in places like sub-Saharan Africa and India where large populations rely on local farms to survive.

US--ELECTION 2025-REDISTRICTING-CALIFORNIA

California voters approve new US House map to boost Democrats in 2026

SUMMARY: California voters have approved a plan to overhaul the state’s congressional district boundaries, giving Democrats a boost in their bid to win the U.S. House majority next year. The approval of Proposition 50 could allow Democrats to gain up to five additional seats in the 2026 midterms, when they hope to gain the power to block President Donald Trump’s agenda in Congress. The measure was pushed by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in response to a Republican-led redistricting effort in Texas. The California measure replaces maps drawn by an independent commission with new districts created by the Democratically controlled Legislature.

US--ELECTION-2025-THE LATEST

The Latest: Democrats notch wins for governors, mayor over Trump’s picks

SUMMARY: Voters in races across the country have backed Democrats, including in New York’s mayoral race and contests for governor in New Jersey and Virginia. They’re rejecting President Donald Trump’s late and lightweight push for his preferred candidates. Voter attitudes about the president and his agenda were central to their choices and offered the first clear review from voters of Trump’s agenda just nine months after he returned to power. Top Democrats celebrated the results as a major victory over Trump. The president responded to the results on Tuesday night with a defensive social media post.

US--ELECTION 2025

Democrats dominate as economic woes take a toll on Trump’s GOP. Takeaways from Election Day 2025

SUMMARY: Democrats are dominating the first major Election Day since President Donald Trump returned to the White House. A debate about the future of the Democratic Party may have only just begun, but there are signs that the economy — specifically, Trump’s inability to deliver the economic turnaround he promised last fall — may hurt the Republican Party for the foreseeable future. Democrats won governor’s races in Virginia and New Jersey, the only states electing new chief executives this year. Trump was largely absent from the campaign trail, but the GOP candidates closely aligned themselves with the president. They bet that his big win last year could provide a path to victory this time.

US--ELECTION 2025-NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR

Democrat Mikie Sherrill elected governor of New Jersey, defeating opponent who aligned with Trump

SUMMARY: Democratic U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill has been elected governor of New Jersey. Her victory over Republican Jack Ciattarelli shores up Democratic control of a state that has been reliably blue in presidential and Senate contests but had shown signs of shifting rightward in recent years. The four-term member of Congress centered her campaign on her biography as a Navy helicopter pilot and former prosecutor who would stand up to President Donald Trump. She will be New Jersey’s second female governor. Ciattarelli lost his second straight governor’s election after coming within a few points of defeating Gov. Phil Murphy four years ago.

Spanberger defeated Marine veteran and Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears in a campaign heavily centered on economic issues. Spanberger is a former CIA case officer and she served six years in Congress. Her victory flips Virginia’s executive mansion from GOP control. Also Tuesday, Democrat Ghazala F. Hashmi won the lieutenant governor’s race and will succeed Earle-Sears.

SUMMARY: Bomb threats to New Jersey polling stations, a voter roll mishap in Pennsylvania potentially affecting thousands of voters and warnings by President Donald Trump against California’s mail balloting system are marking the final day of voting in an off-year election with several nationally prominent races.
