The White House: Trump signed the temporary funding bill into effect today.September 3rd - According to AXIOS, discontent among House Republicans over Trumps trade policies is growing, and they are preparing to voice their concerns directly to the White House. With the midterm elections approaching, lawmakers are particularly worried about the impact of increased duty-free beef imports and the trade war with Canada on domestic industries and district jobs. On Wednesday evening, Trump hosted a dinner at the White House for some Republican lawmakers, where beef and Canada were the focus of discussion. Iowa Republican Representative Zach Nunn stated, "Beef may be on the menu, but it will definitely be on the agenda"; Michigan Republican Representative Bill Hewizenga said that the Canada issue was one he planned to raise with Trump.On September 3, it was reported that on September 2, local time, Judge Deborah Bodman of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland issued a preliminary injunction to block the Trump administration from enforcing a new executive order. This executive order aimed to limit the number of people eligible for birthright citizenship. After returning to the White House in January 2025, Trump signed an executive order stipulating that newborns whose parents are neither U.S. citizens nor lawful permanent residents would not automatically acquire U.S. citizenship. On June 30 of this year, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned this executive order.September 3 – According to US financial media Semafor, Sean Parnell, the chief spokesman for the US Department of Defense, is emerging as a leading candidate to succeed Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, who resigned this week. Multiple Trump administration officials and sources familiar with the matter revealed that Parnell has not yet received a final appointment, but there is considerable support within the government for his succession. Parnell has close ties to Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth and has served as the chief spokesman for the Department of Defense since Trumps second term. Florida Republican Congressman Brian Mast is also on the shortlist; he recently met with Hegseth. Mast has the support of House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, but his public support for the Israeli government could provoke discontent among some of Trumps political base. Meanwhile, if Parnell is nominated, he may face confirmation challenges due to the support of Republican hawks for Driscoll and past allegations of domestic violence against him.

DoorDash Performs Well Because of Inflation-resistant Takeout Demand

In the third quarter, food delivery startup DoorDash Inc.'s orders reached a new high as demand remained strong despite rising prices and inflation, helping it to surpass Wall Street's revenue estimates and sending its shares 10% higher on Thursday.


Many continue to purchase food online from the comfort of their own homes, as they did during lockdowns, despite the fact that dining out is back in full swing.


According to a business official, though, DoorDash has observed a little impact from recession-aware clients purchasing fewer items each transaction.


The company achieved 439 million orders and a 30% rise in gross order value to $13.53 billion during the quarter. The gross order value is the sum of all app purchases and subscription payments.


In addition to the food industry, grocery stores, convenience stores, and retail all performed well. "Retail and supermarket partnerships will be a growth driver for DoorDash, giving the potential for a higher average order value," said Third Bridge analyst Nicholas Cauley. DoorDash estimated a fourth-quarter gross order value between $13.9 billion and $14.2 billion and confirmed its full-year forecast for the industry's most crucial metric.


The parent company of UberEats, Uber Technologies (NYSE:UBER), said on Tuesday that the number of active drivers has returned to September 2018 levels.


Driver shortages have not hurt DoorDash, with the exception of the first quarter of 2021, when the U.S. government distributed its second round of stimulus checks to help people cope with the pandemic. According to IBES data from Refinitiv, the company's third-quarter revenue climbed by 33% to $1.70 billion, exceeding analysts' forecasts of $1.63 billion. However, the company's net loss of $295 million, or 77 cents per share, exceeded expectations.
