It’s the election result Democrats almost didn’t dare to dream of. 

But with anger mounting over the cost of living amid Trump’s war with Iran, traditionally conservative states across America flipped blue. 

Democrats have now taken control of both the US House and Senate in a stunning win that’s being seen as a direct rejection of President Trump. 

Today, editor-at-large of The National Interest, Steve Clemons on where Trump went wrong, what the Democrats will do with their new powers in Congress, and whether this spells the end of MAGA.

For generations of Australians, David Jones was somewhere people would dress up to go shopping: the Christmas windows, the fashion parades, and the excitement of taking home something special in those black and white houndstooth bags.

Now, after 188 years, the department store has entered voluntary administration. Its stores are still trading, but thousands of workers face an uncertain future. And the new owner, if one can be found, will have to decide how much of the business can survive. 

Today, ABC business reporter Daniel Ziffer on a retail institution overtaken by changing habits, what it says about the economy, and whether Australians still want what department stores have to offer.

It’s been nearly two decades since Australians have felt the sting of interest rates this high.

Reserve Bank governor Michele Bullock says persistent inflation has forced the RBA to hike the official cash rate for the fifth time this year.

But some experts fear the bank may have gone too far – risking tipping Australia into a recession.

Today, Australia Institute chief economist Greg Jericho on why the RBA may have got it wrong, and the big corporate inflation-driver no one seems to be talking about.
