Trump to cut ‘Democrat agencies’ as White House says government shutdown layoffs could be in the thousands – live
Trump touts meeting with Russ Vought ‘of Project 2025 fame’ to determine where cuts can be made; Karoline Leavitt blames Democrats for looming job lossesHere’s what the shutdown means for travel, national parks and housingShare your views on the US government shutdownKaroline Leavitt also spoke on Fox News this morning, where she was asked whether Donald Trump’s threats of cuts were just a negotiating tactic. “Oh, it’s very real,” she replied.“The Democrats should know that they put the White House and the president in this position,” she went on. “And if they don’t want further harm on their constituents back home, then they need to reopen the government. It’s very simple. Pass the clean continuing resolution and all of this goes away.Look, it’s likely going to be in the thousands. And that’s something that the Office of Management and Budget and the entire team at the White House here, again, is unfortunately having to work on today.These discussions and these conversations, these meetings would not be happening if the Democrats had voted to keep the government open.

Focus on US mass shooters’ political beliefs undermines fight against gun violence
Leaning so heavily on politics to understand mass violence fails to capture rapidly changing landscape of radicalizationIt’s a common feature in the response to the high-profile acts of gun violence in the US: among the first, if not the first, element in a shooter’s background to be scrutinized is their political beliefs.The recent spate of mass shootings has followed this same playbook. After Charlie Kirk’s shooting, Republican officials, including Donald Trump and JD Vance, were quick to paint the suspect as “a radical leftist”, even when little was known about his background. When a young man opened fire at a Texas Ice facility last week, killing two detainees and injuring another, authorities and the media quickly turned to the question of which political camp the suspected attacker belonged to.
