Charlamagne urges Democrats to give in on government shutdown as Republicans won’t budge: ‘It seems like you lost’

As the government shutdown continues to affect working families and others, Charlamagne Tha God used “The Breakfast Club” on Monday to suggest that Democrats should meet with their Republican counterparts and end the shutdown to relieve American families. After playing a clip of President Donald Trump’s return to “60 Minutes,” Charlamagne argued that Democrats appear to be fighting in a stalemate over issues that, in his eyes, were already settled earlier this year. “The healthcare is going to go up […]

Some Head Start preschools shutter as government shutdown continues

The government shutdown is triggering a wave of closures of Head Start centers, leaving working parents scrambling for child care and shutting some of the nation’s neediest children out of preschool. Dozens of centers are missing out on federal grant payments that were due to arrive Nov. 1. Some have closed indefinitely, while others are staying afloat with emergency funding from local governments and school districts. The closures mean Head Start students — who come from low-income households, are homeless or […]

What shutdown? Trump isn’t canceling travel, golf or his ballroom even with the government shuttered

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump isn’t curtailing travel. He’s not avoiding golf or making do with a skeleton staff in the West Wing. Even hamburgers served at the White House aren’t from McDonalds, this time. In shutdowns past — including during Trump’s first term — presidents normally scaled back their schedules. With staffers deemed “non-essential” sent home, the White House often sought to appear sympathetic to Americans affected by disruptions to health care, veterans benefits and other key services. The current one […]

Judge temporarily blocks the Trump administration from firing workers during the government shutdown

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge on Wednesday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from firing workers during the government shutdown, saying the cuts appeared to be politically motivated and were being carried out without much thought. U.S. District Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco repeatedly pressed the assistant U.S. attorney to explain the administration’s rationale for the more than 4,100 layoff notices that started going out Friday even though furloughed workers can not access their work emails and there are no […]

Government shutdown could be the longest ever, Johnson warns

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson predicted Monday the federal government shutdown may become the longest in history, saying he “won’t negotiate” with Democrats until they hit pause on their health care demands and reopen. Standing alone at the Capitol on the 13th day of the shutdown, the speaker said he was unaware of the details of the thousands of federal workers being fired by the Trump administration. It’s a highly unusual mass layoff widely seen as way to seize on the shutdown to reduce the scope of […]

Special education staff fired after Trump administration cuts amid government shutdown

Mass layoffs by the Trump administration amid the government shutdown has hit critical offices supporting education for children with special needs. On Friday, the Department of Education laid off several employees at the offices of Special Education Programs and the Rehabilitative Services Administration. The Trump White House argued that such layoffs were necessary as a result of the shutdown. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters earlier this month that Democrats “forced the White House and the president into this position.” […]

Frustrated lawmakers say lack of trust is making it harder to end the government shutdown

A president looking to seize power beyond the executive branch. A Congress controlled by Republican lawmakers unwilling to directly defy him. And a minority party looking for any way to fight back. The dynamic left Washington in a stalemate Thursday — the ninth day of the government shutdown — and lawmakers openly venting their frustration as they tried to gain traction without the trust that is typically the foundation of any bipartisan deal. “To have good-faith conversations, you have to have trust. There’s a real […]

Trump directs Pentagon to ensure troops are paid during shutdown

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Saturday that he has directed the Defense Department to use “all available funds” to ensure U.S. troops are paid Wednesday despite the government shutdown, a short-term fix that will not apply to the hundreds of thousands of federal workers who have been furloughed. Trump said in a social media post that he was acting because “our Brave Troops will miss the paychecks they are rightfully due on October 15th.” The Republican president’s directive removes one of […]

WASHINGTON (AP) — A food aid program that supports millions of low-income mothers and their young children received a $300 million infusion from the Trump administration this week, alleviating some anxiety that it would run out of money during the government shutdown.

The program, known as WIC, was […]
