government shutdown

U.S. stocks dropped again on Friday, extending a rough week as investors grew increasingly uneasy over high valuations amid the ongoing government shutdown.

President Trump slammed Democrats over the ongoing government shutdown, defended his decision to restart U.S. nuclear weapons testing, and stood by his administration’s ICE raids during a tense '60 Minutes' interview Sunday — his first sit-down with CBS News since suing its parent company.

On Thursday, President Trump urged Republicans to trigger the so-called 'nuclear option,' pushing them to rewrite Senate rules so a bill to end the 30-day government shutdown could pass with just a simple majority.

Four weeks into the U.S. government shutdown, the nation’s top disaster relief fund is on the brink of running dry, according to sources and an internal report obtained by Bloomberg.

The Trump administration disclosed in court on Friday that over 4,000 federal employees were let go, casualties of the ongoing partial government shutdown.

Five days into the government shutdown, Washington is still at a standstill — Republicans and Democrats locked in a standoff with no real negotiations in sight to reopen the government.

President Donald Trump is using the government shutdown as a weapon—threatening mass firings, pushing for sweeping changes to the federal workforce, and signaling ‘irreversible’ cuts to programs Democrats hold dear.
