The intrigue: It's not just the members who spoke up on the call who are questioning their party's refusal to even come to the negotiating table with Democrats. "I do think we should be negotiating the ACA tax credits and have that compromise to put in the Approps bills," Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), a retiring centrist, told Axios. "We don't need [it] for the CR, but if we all negotiate in good faith within the Approps process, we may break the ice jam."

Look, most of the benefits for SNAP benefits are highest in red states. It doesn't matter to me that these people voted for Donald Trump, if they're MAGA I don't care. I don't want to see any American go hungry. When I'm in the district, people coming up to me nonstop at the grocery store, on the streets, Please stand strong, don't give in, I can't lose access to health care. This is too important for me and my family,'

NASA is hard at work preparing for Artemis 2, its first crewed mission to the Moon in over half a century, which is scheduled to launch in just four months. The twist? Due to the ongoing government shutdown, a NASA official confirmed to Futurism, agency staff are currently working without pay to make the launch happen - including even the astronauts who are putting their lives on the line for the historic mission, who are currently preparing for it without receiving paychecks.

I don't mean the obvious. There is fascism rotting not just our nation but the world, fascism so bad that common folk have begun calling it what it is and not just the communists and anarchists I spend most of my time with. The government shutdown, an event engineered by one party alone, exists solely to squeeze to death the programs they couldn't cancel the funding for through legal means, permanently crippling only the social subsidies that they deem unfit.

Muir Woods National Monument reopened last Thursday and will remain open to the public through Oct. 31. The National Park Service closed the park because of the federal government shutdown that began Oct. 1. Private donations enabled park operations to briefly resume. Must See Tours is one of the businesses that organized the reopening. The San Francisco company is offering daily morning and evening tours at the park.
