14 分钟Good morning. It's Thursday, October 2nd.

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

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.
