1. The current government shutdown is now tied as the second-longest in U.S. history. 21 days in matches the 95-96 shutdown under President Bill Clinton. Lawmakers in Congress are no closer to working out a deal to pass a funding bill. Meanwhile, funding for certain government programs may run out soon. The longest government shutdown in history was during President Trump's first term. That one started in December 2018 and went into January of the next year, lasting 35 days.

2. Kenvue, the American company that makes acetaminophen, is pushing back against an FDA proposal to change the painkiller's safety label. The updated label would mention a possible link between Tylenol use during pregnancy and diagnoses of autism or ADHD in children. Kenvue says acetaminophen is "one of the most studied medicines in history," states that the science does not support the warnings and that implementing them would be "arbitrary, capricious, and contrary to law". Kenvue claims that a label change would be an "unexplained departure" from the FDA's position, noting that the agency reviewed the science for over a decade and found no causal link, most recently in August 2025.

3. A portion of the White House has been demolished, to make way for a 90-thousand square foot ballroom, that has become President Trump's latest project. The President claims the ballroom is being paid for with donations, and from his own pocket. But critics say it's an unnecessary addition during the government shutdown. Crews were seen tearing at the outside structure to the East Wing yesterday.
