Episode Details

It’s day two of the government shutdown. Democrats are demanding the repeal of parts of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to reopen the government, while Republicans say that doing so would reopen loopholes allowing noncitizens access to taxpayer-funded health care.

Meanwhile, the White House has canceled nearly $8 billion in federal funding for hundreds of energy projects and signaled that certain government agencies will face cuts, as the Trump administration seeks to implement spending reductions during the shutdown.

Two people were killed and three others seriously wounded in an attack on a synagogue in Manchester, England. Authorities identified the suspect as Jihad Al-Shamie, a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent, and have declared the incident a terrorist attack.
