President Trump said Tuesday the United States will cut off aid to Israel at year's end, calling the $4 billion in "things and money" no longer needed. He said he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reached an agreement that Netanyahu first raised, adding that Israel can still buy whatever American weapons it wants.

The US gives Israel $13.8 billion in military aid yearly under a deal running through 2028, and much of that money flows back to American weapons makers. Trump tied the move to the midterms, calling Israel aid a "bad talking point," though he said the aid would continue if Israel ever needed it.

The Justice Department told Democratic attorney Marc Elias and others they may be targets in a criminal probe tied to an Alaska Senate candidate sharing the incumbent's name. Elias accused the administration of weaponizing the department, while the race between Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola could help decide which party controls the Senate.

Alaska's US attorney said reports that Peltola's campaign appeared involved in recruiting retired teacher Dan J. Sullivan brought a significant surge of law enforcement to Alaska. More than 100 subpoenas have been issued, though a target letter does not guarantee charges and the administration has struggled to win indictments in sensitive cases.

The Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday over whether Colorado's universal preschool program can exclude Catholic schools that refuse to enroll children of gay or transgender parents. Passed by ballot measure in 2020, the program offers state funding to make preschool free for all 4-year-olds, covering 15 hours a week worth more than $6,000 annually.

The lawsuit says students at 34 Catholic preschools are being denied access, while Colorado says the schools may teach what they choose but cannot deny admission over parents' identities. Last year, at least 79 other religious schools took part under the same rules, giving families of 2,052 students access to more than $9.5 million in state funding.

What it is: US employers posted 7.5 million job openings in September, federal data released Tuesday showed, while hiring held steady at roughly 5.4 million, little changed from the August total. The 333,000 jump in openings over August beat economists' consensus forecasts, and openings now exceed the number of unemployed people nationwide, a sharp reversal from a year ago.

The detail: About 3.4 million Americans quit their jobs in September, up roughly 2.4%, and quits across nonfarm roles nationwide have climbed by 375,000 over the past year. State and local government job openings outside education rose by about 104,000, while accommodation and food service employers brought on about 158,000 new workers in September.

Why it matters: More quitting usually signals confidence, since workers tend to leave when they have another job lined up or believe they can quickly find new work elsewhere. Navy Federal Credit Union chief economist Heather Long called it encouraging that, despite high diesel and gas prices and ongoing inflation, companies are slowly increasing hiring.

What to watch: The October jobs report arrives Friday and will show whether the September rebound in openings is turning into actual paychecks for the millions of Americans looking for work. Watch whether quits keep climbing as well, since a sustained rise would suggest more workers feel confident enough to leave their current jobs for new ones.
