FACT FOCUS: Democrats did not shut down the government to give health care to 'illegal immigrants' This is false. Democrats say they are pushing for the inclusion of key health care provisions in the next congressional spending package.

Mike Johnson: Democrats "have made a decision that they would rather give taxpayer funded benefits to illegal aliens than to keep the doors open for the American people."

to be clear, this has been fact-checked repeatedly, and federal dollars do not fund benefits for the undocumented.

Here’s where the shutdown pain is most acute in healthcare Medicare-funded remote services are cut off, hospital pay boosts are on hold and community health center funding lapses

Who in healthcare do you not want to be right now? Start with telehealth. But the bite from the shutdown could be really long-lasting and painful for community health centers, small rural hospitals. They're already planning for HR 1, and now losing key funding streams to support current operations

My first job was with his Southtown Economist, at the printing plant at 60th and Harlem. Same plant that printed the New York Times. Saw the first color photo on the NYT front page roll off the presses.

Pretty surreal watching All The President’s Men last night and following the news at the same time

I am begging national media not to recycle this narrative and pay attention to the local reporting on the ground like @thetriibe.com

There’s video. There’s pictures. This was no riot.

Key health programs face cliff as government funding bill falls Congress is taking a break after failing to extend health programs and prevent a government shutdown that would start in 12 days.

It's not just government funding at stake in this showdown.

H of course because that includes Chicago and we have food here from all the other letters

Contextualizing Chicago's Enormous Drop in Shootings When was the last time Chicago had this few shootings?

The 1,264 people shot in Chicago through August 30 this year signifies far, far too many lives impacted by gun violence, but that figure is down 37 percent through this point last year and down nearly 60 percent from this point in 2021.
