Good evening. Here's the latest at the end of Friday.
🇺🇸 2024 The presidential election is 74 days away. Here's the latest from the campaign trail.
Democrats are upbeat, but face a tough race aheadIn Chicago, where thousands of Democrats spent the week celebrating their nomination of Kamala Harris for president, confidence has been overflowing. "The mood in Chicago was just really ebullient," said Jess Bidgood, who writes the On Politics newsletter and spent the week at the convention. Some delegates even suggested that Harris would glide to victory. But joy in the summer does not always last, or translate to votes in the fall. Just look at Republicans, Jess said. They were riding high at their convention last month, just after Trump survived an assassination attempt and before President Biden stepped aside. Now polls show Harris with a narrow lead. Harris and other top Democrats seem to be well aware that things can change. Rather than basking in her momentum, the vice president concluded the convention last night with a serious speech designed to reassure Americans of her values and appeal to voters who might know little about her. We will soon learn from polls if Harris's convention strategy worked. But one of the biggest moments of the campaign may still be ahead of us, when Harris and Donald Trump meet for their first debate on Sept. 10. "Democrats are really counting on Harris having a strong debate," Jess told me. "It could be a real turning point." Here's what else to know:

Powell said the 'time has come' for interest rate cutsJerome Powell, the chair of the Federal Reserve, indicated today that the central bank was on track to lower borrowing costs at its meeting next month. For more than a year, the Fed has been holding interest rates at 5.3 percent, the highest level in more than two decades, to combat inflation. Now, Powell said, "The time has come for policy to adjust." While Powell stopped short of giving a clear hint at how large that move might be, he forcefully underscored that policymakers would act in order to protect the job market.
Ukraine ramped up its attacks in RussiaUkrainian forces now control more than 400 square miles in the Kursk region of Russia, where they are fighting to isolate a large group of Russian soldiers. They have also launched a series of strikes at airfields, ports and oil depots in other parts of the country in an effort to degrade the Kremlin's war effort. We mapped out Ukraine's incursion, which has succeeded far beyond expectations. However, Ukraine has yet to fulfill a key goal: drawing a significant number of Russian units from eastern Ukraine, where Kyiv's forces continue to struggle. American officials are not convinced that Ukraine intends to hold its position in Russia long term. In related news, Narendra Modi, the Indian prime minister, visited Ukraine in a potential step toward peace talks. More top news
Zoë Kravitz was frustrated, so she made a movieSeven years ago, Zoë Kravitz, the actress and daughter of Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz, sat down at a cafe in London and started writing her first screenplay. It was a way, she said, to express her frustrations around discomfort that women are meant to endure in their lives — and then told to smile through it. Eventually, it turned into "Blink Twice," a horror-mystery film that's in theaters today. For more: Here are the nine other movies our critics are talking about this week.
Ace your kids' school lunches this yearDuring their child's school years, parents can pack more than 1,000 lunches, which can become pretty monotonous. So we came up with some tips to keep things fresh, like inviting your child to help you pack the night before and organizing your kitchen the way a chef would. Just remember: School-lunch traditions can be at odds with basic food safety rules around perishable items. If you're including anything that you would put in the refrigerator, stuff in two ice packs as well.

Designing for 74 square feetBeatriz Ramo López de Angulo, an architect living in the Netherlands, was so inspired by a minuscule cabin built by the modernist master Le Corbusier that she decided to turn a 74-square-foot storage space in her building in Rotterdam into a livable retreat. The walls are bright and patterned, and the apartment is split into "rooms," including a sleeping loft and — surprisingly — a black marble spa area with a whirlpool bath and an infrared sauna. Check out the space. Have a maximized weekend. Thanks for reading. I'll be back on Monday. — Matthew Kirsten Luce was our photo editor today. We welcome your feedback.
