Every American bomber stationed at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, England, is now back on U.S. soil. A Pentagon spokesperson confirmed the pullout Sunday, and two officials described the move to NBC News as rushed. About a dozen B-1s were among the aircraft flown out, according to U.S. officials.

You may already know, Fairford isn’t just another base. It’s the only European forward operating location for American heavy bombers, and it’s been used to strike Iran during the war that began in February. Emptying it is the kind of decision you make quickly or not at all.

The trigger, as CBS News reports, was the Sept. 27 arrest of five British men in their 20s near the base. Police found gasoline in three vans but no explosive devices, per CBS and Fox News. A 25-year-old U.K.-Iranian dual national was later arrested in London. And all six have since been released on bail.

U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham said there are “strong indications that Iran played a part.” Iran’s embassy in London denies any involvement. The Pentagon’s line is that nothing has been lost operationally—bombers can still reach their targets from the continental U.S., which is true, and also a longer flight.

Fortune, citing an anonymous Pentagon official, reports naval assets moving toward the region, with the possibility of three carriers in theater by late October—ship names and status still need independent confirmation. What nobody has explained is whether Fairford gets its bombers back, or whether this is the new arrangement.

Brazil's presidential election is going into overtime. Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, 45, the eldest son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, finished first with 47.2% to incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s 44.9% with roughly 99% of votes counted. Neither cleared 50%, so the two meet again in an Oct. 25 run-off.

Lula, 80, led through the campaign and most pre-election polling missed the result entirely. He called it “unexpected.” Bolsonaro, less diplomatically, declared it “the end of the Workers’ Party era.” His Liberal Party also led the congressional results, which matters for whoever wins. But the stakes are bigger than one ballot. The winner runs Latin America’s largest economy and a country of 214 million people. CBS News and the BBC both report a Bolsonaro win would pull Brasília sharply toward Washington, while a fourth non-consecutive Lula term keeps the distance and deepens ties with China, now Brazil’s largest trading partner.

Then there's the family business. Flávio has pledged amnesty for his father, who is serving 27 years for masterminding a failed coup, according to the BBC. A son's victory would be a direct route to his father’s release—a point opponents will hammer for the next three weeks, and one supporters appear entirely comfortable with.

Latino voters have turned on President Donald Trump, hard. A new NBC News/Telemundo poll fielded Sept. 21-28 puts his approval among them at 27%, with 78% disapproving of his handling of cost of living and 74% on the economy. Two-thirds say his deportation policies have gone too far.

Democrats now lead 59%-35% on control of Congress (double their 2024 margin) and hold a 21-point edge on the economy with these voters, a group Trump won by 4 points on that issue two years ago, NBC News reported. Republicans drew new heavily Latino districts in Florida and Texas that suddenly look competitive.

The caveat pollsters keep raising: this reads as opposition to Trump, not enthusiasm for Democrats, whose own image hasn’t improved. Whether that distinction matters in November is the open question—a protest vote still counts.
