Episode notes
Shutdown Ends; Services Restart
- The 43-day government shutdown ended when President Donald Trump signed a bill to reopen the government.
- Federal workers return, museums reopen, benefits resume, and flight delays may ease gradually.
Health Subsidies Left Out
- ACA subsidy extensions were not included in the bill, so subsidies will expire at year-end.
- Without them, average premiums on healthcare.gov are expected to rise about 30% next year.
Epstein Documents Raise Further Questions
- The House Oversight Committee released thousands of pages of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents.
- Emails include a 2019 note from Epstein claiming Trump "knew of it" but "never participated," conflicting with Trump's denials.
