Measure A earns support of San Jose mayor, police and DA - San Jose Spotlight

San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, joined by county law enforcement and prosecutors, is backing a last-minute sales tax to protect Santa Clara County's public hospitals from massive federal cuts. It comes after Mahan - along with the county's Deputy Sheriffs Association and Government Attorneys Association - initially cast doubt and uncertainty about his stance on Measure A, the county's proposed five-eighths cent sales tax increase on the Nov. 4 ballot. Now they're set to announce their support at a news conference later today. Meanwhile, the sheriff and prosecutor unions say they've fundraised a total of $600,000 to date to campaign in favor of the ballot measure.

The Shutdown Will Make Trump's Theory of Government-ICE but No Healthcare-Visible - emptywheel

Yesterday, at 5:46PM, the Senate rejected a cloture vote on the Democratic continuing resolution, which in addition to funding government, would extend healthcare support and prohibit impoundment. It was a party line vote. Yesterday, at 6:41PM, the Senate rejected a cloture vote on the Republican continuing resolution. Three Democrats voted with 52 Republicans in favor: Catherine Cortez Masto John Fetterman Angus King Rand Paul voted with Democrats against. And so, at midnight, nonessential functions of the Federal government started to shut down.

Travis County signs off on Central Health's new budget - with a tax rate increase - Austin Monitor

Around 5% of a Travis County homeowner's property tax bill goes to Central Health. Those taxes must support health care for low-income and indigent residents. Central Health's new annual tax rate is 11.8 cents per $100 of valuation - an effective increase of more than 9% from last year. That means the average homeowner will pay around $64 more to Central Health on their next bill.

NHS will die under Reform unless doctors stop striking and work with Labour, says Wes Streeting

The alternative is strikes continue to hold back the NHS's recovery, the costs of industrial action slow down investment in new technology, equipment and additional specialty places, the changes that we all agree need to be made are blocked, and patients continue to be failed. From there, the public will conclude that Labour has failed on the NHS and they will elect a Reform government instead a party that has openly said it will replace the NHS with an insurance-based system.
