Due to the federal government shutdown, there is no updated CDC data to inform a Weather Report. COVID is still being transmitted around the country and everyone should continue to use their layers of protection: high-quality masks, get your updated boosters, testing before gathering,

So woke of you, Mr. President. We said defund the military. We like a public servant who hears the voice of the people.
The US military stops getting paid from next week.
White House has, for now, ruled out legislative fix for military pay
Over 1 million military paychecks could go unfulfilled on Oct. 15.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans forced a government shutdown tonight.
Rather than address the health care crisis that they created just earlier this year, they refuse to come to the table and do their jobs.
What happened to the art of the deal?

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.
Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.
They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

They need us to acknowledge the very real threat of Long Covid, and start taking steps to mitigate the risk.

And the sort of images that will make the job even less appealing for those who want to act like tough guys.
