AI company Anthropic files to list on the Nasdaq, Israel heads to a tight election, more than 27 million Americans have voted early, Britain sanctions 15 Sudanese commanders, and the Brewers lead the World Series 2-0 heading into Game 3.

The filing shows about $16.3 billion in revenue in the six months ended June 30, up from $4.6 billion in all of 2025, and a net loss of $80.7 billion, mostly from accounting charges. The number of shares and the price range have not been set.
Israelis vote Tuesday for a new 120-seat Knesset; a governing coalition needs 61 seats. Final polls by Israel's three main TV broadcasters show Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc at 50 seats and the opposition bloc at 52 to 56, neither reaching a majority. About 7.3 million people are eligible to vote, and official results are scheduled by November 4.
Netanyahu saysOnly he can form a government without Arab parties, he needs more time to finish operations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran, and only he can work with President Trump to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
The opposition saysNetanyahu must go. Gadi Eisenkot, a former military chief who leads the Yashar party, says he will reunite a divided Israel, promises a state inquiry into the October 7, 2023 attack, and accuses Netanyahu of fear-mongering over Iran.
