Manage episode 515059774 series 3656601
As the federal shutdown over the FY26 budget continues, Crystal and Scott take a look at the issues swirling around the melodrama, including immigration, health care subsidies, and how the effort of House Republicans to restore the regular budgeting process may lead to a more active Congress in 2026. We also look at how the continuing shutdown impacts Nevada, where 28% of the budget is coming from federal funds.
