Dem Sen. Merkley: Shutdown Would Have Hurt Trump, '19 Shutdown Gave Dems 'Power'
Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) stated that a government shutdown would primarily be perceived as a "Republican shutdown" due to GOP control of Congress and the presidency. He argued that past shutdowns, particularly in 2019, provided leverage for Democrats against Trump and could do so again.

Merkley expressed concerns about Trump’s influence during a shutdown, suggesting that it could undermine Republican strategies that favor the wealthy over families. He believes that standing firm against Trump now could enhance Democratic objectives moving forward.


Fox News: Injunction lifted on Trump executive orders slashing federal DEI support
Injunction lifted on Trump executive orders slashing federal DEI support
An appeals court has lifted a block on President Trump's executive orders aimed at ending federal support for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that while the orders may raise First Amendment concerns, the previous injunction was overly broad.

The orders require federal agencies to terminate "equity-related" grants and contracts and mandate that federal contractors certify they do not promote DEI. This ruling follows a lawsuit challenging the orders as presidential overreach and anti-free speech. A similar lawsuit has been filed in D.C. federal court.

Breitbart: Breitbart Business Digest: Democrat Fear and Loathing of Trump Risks Pushing the Economy into a Slump
Breitbart Business Digest: Democrat Fear and Loathing of Trump Risks Pushing the Economy into a Slump
Consumer sentiment among Democrats has plummeted to an all-time low, driven by political fears rather than economic fundamentals. This decline in confidence, now at 28.2, is significantly lower than during previous crises, while Republican sentiment remains high at 95.7, creating a historic gap.

The shift in expectations has implications for consumer behavior and the economy. If Democrats scale back spending due to fears of economic collapse, it could slow growth despite stable fundamentals. Rising inflation expectations among Democrats may further exacerbate this issue, potentially leading to a self-fulfilling economic downturn.

Exclusive—Darin Selnick: Keeping Our Promise to Strengthen the Military Health System for Our Warfighters
The Military Health System (MHS) is crucial for the medical readiness of U.S. service members, but it faces significant challenges due to underfunding and deferred maintenance, exemplified by recent flooding at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. With a maintenance backlog exceeding $10 billion, urgent reforms and investments are needed to ensure high-quality care.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has initiated comprehensive reforms to modernize the MHS, focusing on improving infrastructure, adopting new technologies, and enhancing partnerships for better resource allocation. The goal is to uphold the commitment to provide world-class healthcare to military families, ensuring they are fit for duty and supported in their service.
