  Notes from a Government Shutdown

  Oct 16, 202514 minS0

  <p>The federal government is closed for business — again. But this time, it isn’t about border walls or spending caps. It’s about health care. As the 2025 shutdown drags into its third week, Democrats are demanding an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies for 20-plus million Americans, while Republicans push a “clean” funding bill that leaves those benefits to expire.
