The US government has reopened after a historic shutdown. What does that mean, exactly?

The US government has reopened after a historic 43-day shutdown that started during a federal funding dispute on October 1. Thousands of federal workers went without pay, travellers were stranded at airports, and people lined up at food banks for almost eight weeks. US Donald Trump has signed off on legislation that resumed funding after a group of moderate Democrats caved and began the process to end the shutdown. In case you need a refresher, this is what that means. The US government was shut down for the first time in more than six years in early October. (AP) What is a government shutdown? Federal agencies across the country were shuttered, with non-essential workers, like park rangers, put on leave without pay. Essential federal workers,...

US house passes bill to end historic government shutdown, sending measure to Trump

The House passed a bill to end the US's longest government shutdown, sending the measure to US President Donald Trump for his signature after a historic 43-day funding lapse that saw federal workers go without multiple paychecks, travellers stranded at airports and people lining up at food banks to get a meal for their families. House lawmakers made their long-awaited return to the nation's capital this week after nearly eight weeks away. Republicans used their slight majority to pass the bill with a mostly party-line vote of 222-209. House Democrats expressed great scepticism that the Senate effort would lead to a breakthrough. (Nine) The Senate has already passed the measure. Democrats wanted to extend an enhanced tax credit that expires at the end of t...

White House pressuring Republicans not to vote on releasing Epstein files

Top Trump administration officials have met with a key GOP lawmaker about an effort in the US House to force a vote on releasing Justice Department case files related to Jeffrey Epstein, according to multiple sources familiar with the meeting. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt acknowledged the meeting later Wednesday when asked about reporting that administration officials were huddling with GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert. "Doesn't that show the level of transparency when we are willing to sit down with members of Congress and address their concerns?" she told reporters at the press briefing. In spite of their reputations as Trump acolytes, Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene said they will vote to release the Epstein files. (AP) Leavitt added: "I'm not go...

Trump is ramping up a new effort to convince a skeptical public he can fix affordability worries

US President Donald Trump is adjusting his messaging strategy to win over voters who are worried about the cost of living with plans to emphasise new tax breaks and show progress on fighting inflation. The messaging is centered around affordability, and the push comes after inflation emerged as a major vulnerability for Trump and Republicans in Tuesday's elections, in which voters overwhelmingly said the economy was their biggest concern. Democrats took advantage of concerns about affordability to run up huge margins in the New Jersey and Virginia governor races, flipping what had been a strength for Trump in the 2024 presidential election into a vulnerability going into next year's midterm elections.

Trump backs Cuomo for New York City mayor and threatens to cut funding if Mamdani wins

US President Donald Trump has endorsed Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayor's race, urging voters not to elect left-wing front-runner Zohran Mamdani. "Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him, and hope he does a fantastic job," Trump posted on Truth Social Monday evening. "He is capable of it, Mamdani is not!" Independent candidate Cuomo, a long-term Trump critic who was formerly a Democrat New York governor, responded to the tepid backing: " He's not endorsing me. He's opposing Mamdani." The president earlier said he would be reluctant to send more than the minimum federal funding to his hometown of New York if Mamdani is elected. Opinion polls indicate Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, is ahead of Cuomo, who is runnin...

New US poll deals major blow to Donald Trump

More Americans than ever before disapprove of US President Donald Trump's actions in office, according to a major new poll in the US. The fall of 2025 is not a replay of 2017, the year before the Democrats captured control of the US House in Trump's first term. The Democrats' five-point advantage among registered voters in the generic congressional ballot falls short of the 11-point edge they held in CNN polling a year before the 2018 midterms. President Donald Trump waves as he boards Air Force One at Palm Beach International Airport. (AP) And favourable views of the party still stand near all-time lows as they have throughout this year, eight points below where they were in the fall of Trump's first year in office. In a mid-term election year, though, views o...
