Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, one of the most influential voices among young liberals and a rising Democratic star, plans to endorse Sen. Bernie Sanders for president and appear with him at a rally on Saturday, according to two people with knowledge of her plans.
The surprise endorsement is a political coup for Sanders, 78, who has been fading in the polls and has faced growing questions about his age and health. Before Tuesday’s Democratic debate, he had been sidelined from the campaign trail for two weeks by a heart attack.
“We’re looking forward to Saturday,” said Corbin Trent, a spokesman for Ocasio-Cortez. Sanders, I-Vt., teased the rally at Tuesday night’s presidential debate, saying he would have a “special guest” appearing with him in New York.

The fourth Democratic debate is over, after 12 candidates jousted over three hours.
Below, your winners and losers (and two-betweeners).
Winners
– Elizabeth Warren, the front-runner: For the first time in one of these debates, Warren found herself under sustained attack. Through a combination of debate format, Joe Biden’s leads in early polls and Warren’s unique political Teflon, she had somehow avoided it. That changed Tuesday, though. Warren was the focal point, with the other candidates all but taking their focus completely off Biden. It wasn’t completely smooth sailing for Warren (which we’ll get to), but it was an affirmation that she is viewed as perhaps the front-runner now.

Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and former national security adviser John Bolton have emerged as key targets for House Democrats in their impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump after explosive testimony about the president’s pressure on a foreign leader to investigate a political rival.
House Democrats on Tuesday began discussing the possibility of summoning both men – who would be the highest-ranking individuals to testify – as the investigation has accelerated in recent days with the cooperation of several current and former administration officials.

A federal grand jury in New York has issued a subpoena to former Texas congressman Pete Sessions seeking records and other information on his interactions with President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and two Giuliani associates charged last week with a scheme to funnel foreign money to U.S. politicians, according to two people familiar with the investigation.
The subpoena seeks records about Sessions’s dealings with Giuliani and two business associates, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, who had been helping Giuliani investigate Democratic presidential candidate and former vice president Joe Biden.

Strong winds in Israel today took a toll on many sukkas that were unable to withstand the onslaught on the weather.
The video above was taken in Tzefas, where hundreds of sukkahs were damaged or destroyed due to the high winds.
Israel experienced extreme weather over Sukkos so far, with a lightning storm in Yerushalayim that injured five.

Five members of the same family were hurt when they were struck by lightning at Zikim Beach, just north of Gaza.
The 14-year-old is listed in critical condition. The sister-in-law is listed in serious condition. The other siblings, ages 13, 17, and 24 are listed in moderate condition.
Dr. Gili Givati, deputy director of the hospital, provided updates on the status of the injured. “Five people were injured and brought to the medical center. One of them, 14 years old, who was in critical condition, underwent prolonged resuscitation, which continued in the hospital,” she said.
