SENATE HAS ENOUGH DEMOCRATIC VOTES TO REOPEN GOVERNMENT AFTER 40-DAY SHUTDOWN ‼️

Senate Democrats emerged from a two-and-a-half-hour caucus meeting Sunday night announcing there will be enough votes in the Senate to reopen the federal government after a grueling 40-day shutdown.

A group of centrist Democrats led by Sens. Angus King (Maine), an independent who caucuses with Democrats, and Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.). and Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), negotiated the deal to reopen government with Republicans on the Senate Appropriations Committee led by Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and the Senate GOP leadership.

Collins led the negotiations on a minibus appropriations package to fund military construction, veterans affairs, the Department of Agriculture and the legislative branch as well as a continuing resolution to fund the government until Jan. 30.

Americans Are Changing How They Grocery Shop After the Biggest Price Increase in 50 Years

For millions of Americans, a trip to the grocery store no longer begins with a shopping list. It begins with a strategy. Shoppers are comparing prices across multiple stores, replacing familiar national brands with cheaper alternatives and planning meals around weekly promotions. Some are buying less meat, avoiding impulse purchases or leaving products on the shelf when the price feels unreasonable.
