• In Washington, the Republican-led Senate gave its reluctant approval to President Trump’s surprise deal with the Democrats to provide billions in disaster aid, raise the debt limit and fund the government. House Speaker Paul Ryan explained the deal — a day after being blindsided by it — as an effort to create a “bipartisan moment.”

• Evidence of Russia’s efforts to influence the U.S. presidential election is building. A Times investigation, along with new cybersecurity research, reveals some of the mechanisms by which people suspected of being Russian operators used social media, like the Facebook post above, to spread anti-Hillary Clinton messages.
