YOUR MORNING NEWS ROUNDUP | |
Get the week started with Monday's news: |
Intraparty fighting among Democrats |
Democrats who joined Republicans to reopen the government received backlash from within their party for supporting a deal that does not guarantee the extension of expiring health care subsidies. |
What just happened: The Senate voted 60-40 to advance a deal to reopen the government after a cluster of Democrats relented from policy demands and broke from their party ranks to strike an agreement with congressional Republicans. |
| • | What happens now? The action puts the shutdown on track to potentially end this week, but a final vote is still required by the Senate and then the House before the continuing resolution heads to President Donald Trump's desk. | | • | Which Democrats voted? None of the eight face reelection in 2026. | | • | Is the original issue resolved? No. The agreement does not guarantee the extension of the health care subsidies, which are set to expire at the end of the year and send health care premiums skyrocketing. The deal reached with Republicans only ensures a vote during the second week of December on extending the subsidies | |
... Meanwhile, Americans are stuck at the airport |
As of 10 p.m. ET Sunday, more than 10,000 flights had been delayed, the most disruptions on a single day since the government shutdown began. More than 3,200 flights were canceled for Sunday, the third day of government-mandated flight cuts at 40 high-traffic airports during the ongoing shutdown . Airlines warned additional air traffic control staffing shortages and resulting delay programs would cause further delays and cancellations into Monday. |

Why is the US flying deportees to Mexico's southern tip? |
For years, this city of 350,000 in Chiapas, Mexico's poorest state, was flooded with migrants from around the world headed for the United States after crossing into Mexico from Guatemala. Now, Tapachula is experiencing a reverse migration, as the United States sends planeload after planeload of deportees to the southern part of Mexico while the flow of migrants headed north has dried up. U.S. deportation flights to Tapachula are unprecedented, migration experts say. Read the series supported by the Pulitzer Center on reverse migration by Arizona Republic reporter Daniel Gonzalez and El Paso Times visual journalist Omar Ornelas. |
Plumber is sounding appealing to youth job searchers |
Blue-collar jobs are in. Two in 5 Gen Zers are pursuing blue-collar work, rejecting the collegiate path and learning trades, according to a May 2025 survey of 1,434 young adults by Resume Builder. Vocational and trade programs are booming, federal data shows, and one reason is a perception that blue-collar jobs pay well, and that college costs are becoming prohibitive. Nathan Soto, author of the Resume Genius report, summed it up: "My brother is a pipe fitter and he makes six figures." |
