  • Good morning. It's Thursday, October 2nd.

  • I'm Shamita Basu.

  • This is Apple News Today.

  • On today's show, the U.S. citizens fighting back after violent ICE arrests,

  • inside the rare and scandalous NBA salary cap investigation, and remembering Jane Goodall.

  • But first, we are 24 hours into the government shutdown.

  • On Capitol Hill yesterday, there was more voting, more finger-pointing, but no breakthroughs.

  • Here we are.

  • Democrats have bowed to the far left, and they've shut down the federal government.

  • Democrats want to overt this crisis, but Republicans tried to bully us, and it's clear they can't.

  • Donald Trump and Republicans have shut the government down

  • because they don't want to provide health care to working class Americans.

  • President Trump is trying to mitigate the damage as much as possible.

  • But the longer this goes on,

  • the more pain will be inflicted because it is inevitable when the government shuts down.

  • In a third round yesterday,

  • senators voted 55 to 45 on the GOP-led funding bill with two Democrats and one independent in favor of it,

  • and one Republican senator, Rand Paul, voting against it.

  • But it was still short of the 60 required to bring federal officials back to work.

  • The stalemate continues to hinge primarily on the extension of COVID-era Affordable Care Act subsidies.
