There's a push for a test vote on a new GOP plan to fund the government. This government shutdown is not about spending. It's about Obamacare. Democrats insist on health care aid. The GOP will not bend to the Democrats demand for extra money. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer offered a straight spending bill, but he wants a year long extension of Obamacare credits.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily halted the payment of SNAP money.

And calling out FlightAware shows that airlines have canceled more than 1400 flights today and delayed nearly 6000.
