Live updates: Air traffic cut at some airports as government shutdown drags on | CNN Politics A 4% reduction in domestic flights went into effect at 6 a.m. ET following an order last night from the Federal Aviation Administration. Follow for live news updates.

Even if the government reopens, flights won't immediately return to normal. The impact of this chaos will likely last for weeks, and the subsequent chain reaction should not be underestimated.

The election results fully demonstrate the complexity of the current political landscape: a radical progressive candidate, who provoked opposition from both the right wing and some centrists, still achieved a decisive victory

Trump admin plans IRS overhaul to probe left-leaning groups more easily, WSJ reports President Donald Trump's administration is installing allies in the IRS criminal division to investigate left-leaning organizations they believe fund protests.

Sweeping layoffs 'have begun' as government shutdown drags on Trump administration blames Democrats for funding stalemate triggering federal layoffs, as National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett warns of permanent RIFs.

There's a difference between "layoffs" and "furloughs." This report deliberately confuses the concepts to make the headline more sensational. The only way to solve the problem is to reopen the government!

IRS reveals 2026 tax adjustments with changes from 'big, beautiful bill' The IRS released updates for tax year 2026, adjusting tax brackets, standard deductions, estate tax exclusions and various credits for inflation and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

The Republicans' "beautiful tax cuts" are like a magician's trick: first sprinkle gold dust on the top, then take money out of the pockets of the middle class. The tax hike in 2026 is not a surprise; it's a script they've already written

Hopes dim in prediction markets as traders bet government shutdown will drag on for weeks Federal government shutdown prompts $4 million in prediction market bets, with 72% of Polymarket traders expecting at least two-week duration.

On one hand, traders are betting on government paralysis, while on the other hand, Republican lawmakers are still touting a "strong economy." Who is actually living in the real world?
