Democrats move to avoid another government shutdown fight
Democrats are steering away from another shutdown fight after the record-long 43-day closure, even though Congress still lacks a deal on expiring health care subsidies and faces looming funding deadlines. Party leaders and progressives say there’s little current talk of forcing a shutdown, preferring to push bipartisan appropriations bills while keeping some leverage if talks on premium tax credits or spending stall. With an election year underway and some moderates aligning with their health care messaging, Democrats appear focused on extending subsidies and passing regular funding bills rather than replaying the shutdown strategy.

Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small Found Not Guilty on All Child Abuse Charges
A jury acquitted Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small Sr. of all charges in his child abuse trial after more than two days of deliberations. Prosecutors alleged that Small and his wife, Atlantic City schools superintendent La’Quetta Small, attacked their teenage daughter in incidents in December 2023 and January 2024, with the daughter’s boyfriend reporting what he said happened. Small had faced charges including endangering the welfare of a child, terroristic threats, and aggravated assault, and was later indicted on felony counts; he also faced allegations of urging his daughter to recant. After the verdict, Small thanked the jury, his supporters, and God, while La’Quetta Small’s trial is scheduled for next year.
RFK Jr. calls for a review of the childhood vaccine schedule, despite decades of safety evidence
RFK Jr. has said he wants to scrutinize the U.S. childhood immunization schedule, a national standard built over decades of research, clinical trials involving millions of participants, and ongoing safety monitoring. The basic unified schedule has existed since 1995 and has expanded as new vaccines proved safe and effective, helping make many once-common childhood diseases rare. In December 2025, the CDC under Kennedy accepted an advisory vote to drop the long-standing recommendation for routine hepatitis B vaccination at birth despite no new evidence undermining its safety; medical groups have opposed the change, and some states say they will continue following established evidence-based guidelines.
