Politics and Religion. We’re not supposed to talk about that, right? Wrong! We only say that nowadays because the loudest, most extreme voices have taken over the whole conversation. Well, we‘re taking some of that space back! If you’re dying for some dialogue instead of all the yelling; if you know it’s okay to have differences without having to hate each other; if you believe politics and religion are too important to let ”the screamers” drown out the rest of us and would love some engagin ...

1. 🏛️ Government Shutdown Status
- The government had been shut down for 40 days, the longest in U.S. history.
- A Senate vote secured 60 votes (including 8 Democrats) to begin the reopening process.
- The continuing resolution (CR) will fund the government through January 30, avoiding a holiday-season funding crisis.
2. ⚙️ Reopening Process
- Despite the vote, procedural delays (e.g., Senate rules requiring 60 votes and time gaps between votes) mean the government may not fully reopen until Tuesday or Wednesday.
- Unanimous consent could have expedited the process, but some Democrats (e.g., Bernie Sanders) were accused of obstructing.
3. ✈️ Impact on Travel and Public Services
- TSA agents and air traffic controllers were working without pay, leading to sick-outs and flight delays.
- Even after reopening, normal operations may take several days to resume.
4. 📜 Legislation Introduced
Deporting Fraudsters Act of 2025:
- Would make welfare fraud by illegal immigrants a deportable offense.
- Cites statistics on non-citizens receiving SNAP and WIC benefits.
- Claims a 10-year cost of $15 billion due to illegal immigrant access to benefits.
Obamacare Subsidies Debate:
- Discussion on expiring subsidies for health insurance companies.
- Republicans agreed to a vote in early December on whether to extend these subsidies.
- Cruz and Trump oppose the subsidies, calling them corporate welfare, and advocate for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) instead.
