From ABC News, I’m
Daria Albinger. President Biden’s met with Democratic leaders with
part of his agenda hanging in the balance on a possible government shutdown
looming. “And Democrats passed all their
spending bills before Thursday night’s government shutdown deadline. ‘We’ll see,’; the president’s press secretary
Jen Psaki describing negotiations with Mr. Biden’s, ‘We’re
obviously at a precarious, and important time in these discussions.’ The president still talking with two
reluctant Democratic senators. Andy Field, ABC News, Washington.”
2) A group of Senate Republicans says it shows the
Democrats are not maintaining control, South Dakota Senator John Thune; “I think what you’re seeing as a result of that
unified control of the government by the Democrats is a crisis incompetence.” But Democrats say raising the debt ceiling
would pay for expenses from the previous administration.
3) General Frank
McKenzie told the House Armed Services
Committee that former President Trump’s deal with the Taliban to withdraw all
US troops from Afghanistan can be linked to the collapse of that nation’s
government. The head of Central Command
joined by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and the joint chiefs of staff chair General Mark Milley at the hearing.
4) An urgent health advisory from the CDC regarding
pregnant women in COVID-19. “Startling
numbers from the CDC on pregnant women contracting COVID-19 since the pandemic
began; there’ve been more than 125,000 cases of COVID in expected mums in the
US, including more than 22,000 hospitalized and 161 deaths. And low vaccination rates may be the reason;
just 31% of pregnant women have been vaccinated, Asian mums to be the highest
number, pregnant black women are the least vaccinated. The CDC urging all pregnant women to get
their shots to prevent serious illness, death or pregnancy complications. Derricke Dennis, ABC News.”

And New Hampshire state troopers escorted
state workers attending the meeting on at Saint
Anselm College to their cars after
anti-vax protesters descended on campus.
