1. Duke Energy's North Carolina offshore wind lease is being unwound
-- Duke Energy is terminating its North Carolina offshore wind lease, Reuters reported, as the Trump administration moves to cancel the project area.
-- Developers face higher federal-policy risk on long-dated U.S. wind projects, pushing capital toward assets with clearer permitting and power-purchase paths.
2. Supreme Court preserves state grace periods for mailed ballots
-- The Supreme Court rejected a Trump-backed challenge and said states may count ballots postmarked by Election Day but received later, AP reported.
-- Election administrators in states with postmark grace windows avoid an immediate legal rewrite of mail-ballot rules before the midterms, while future fights shift to state statutes and deadlines.
3. Congo bans gatherings in Kinshasa and three provinces over Ebola
-- Congo banned public gatherings in Kinshasa and three provinces after an Ebola outbreak, Reuters reported Monday.
-- The restriction turns the health emergency into a mobility and security issue for the capital, with opposition activity, transport hubs and aid logistics all exposed to enforcement risk.
4. WhatsApp opens username reservations to limit phone-number exposure
-- WhatsApp began global reservations for optional usernames, giving more than three billion users a way to communicate without revealing phone numbers, The Hacker News reported.
-- The feature reduces a durable identity leak for activists, journalists and ordinary users, though account safety still depends on discovery controls and abuse handling.
5. Mexico central bank adds bond-buying tool for liquidity support
-- Mexico's central bank issued rules allowing purchases of some local government securities to support money-market liquidity when needed, Bloomberg reported.
-- A standing liquidity backstop can calm domestic funding stress, but it also gives traders a new policy signal to watch around peso volatility and sovereign-debt auctions.
