Day 2 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:

1. GOP controls government. They control what bills get voted on and the vote thresholds for each bill. Senate GOP can pass their bad funding bill today if they felt like it.

2. Dems are fighting to lower costs and save healthcare.

Murkowski votes yes and hopes it doesn’t pass.

Hawley says it’s terrible for his constituents and the middle class … yet votes yes.

It’s pretty simple: words don’t matter. Votes do.

We pored through more than 900 grants worth $2.6 billion that the Trump administration canceled at Harvard.

“This is larger than any individual grant,” a researcher told us. “What we are losing is a future.”
