The Senate failed to get the 60 votes needed to advance a stopgap funding bill. Two Republicans and all but one Democrat opposed the bill. The House had just approved. An alternative Democratic proposal also failed. House Speaker Mike Johnson says the Democrats push to add an extension of health care subsidies to the package. Will was a non starter and says they should be blamed if the government shuts down.

The Trump administration Friday asked the Supreme Court to reinstate its policy requiring U.S. travelers to list their biological gender at birth on their passports. A federal judge in June blocked that policy, and a federal appeals court left the ruling in place pending appeal. NPR's Nina Totenberg reports.

The Trump administration told the Supreme Court in its brief that private citizens cannot force the government to use inaccurate sex designations on identification documents that fail to reflect the passport holder's biological sex at birth. That is so, said the administration, especially on documents that are on government property and involved the president's constitutional and statutory power to communicate with foreign governments.

That's NPR's Nina Totenberg. It was a good day on Wall Street. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 172 points. The NASDAQ finished up 160 points. This is NPR News. For the third time, the US Military has conducted a fatal strike on an alleged drug smuggling boat. President Trump announced the action in a social media post Friday. He said the strike targeted a vessel affiliated with a designated terror terrorist organization, and he said three males were killed in the attack. Two other similar strikes earlier this month killed 14 people. The UN Security Council has taken another step toward reimposing sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program. Russia says the European diplomats have no basis to push for this. But Britain, France and Germany say returning sanctions is part of the deal they made a decade ago with Iran. NPR's Michelle Kellerman reports.

Only four countries, China, Russia, Pakistan and Algeria voted to permanently lift sanctions on Iran. That resolution failed, setting the stage for the sanctions to snap back later this month. These are sanctions that were suspended under the Iran nuclear deal, the one that the first Trump administration left. Britain, France and Germany say Iran could avoid the return of sanctions if it allows UN Inspectors back. Iran's ambassador says the door is open for diplomacy. Iran's president is planning to speak next week at the UN General Assembly. The trip comes just months after US Military strikes on Iranian nuclear nuclear sites. Michelle Kellerman, NPR News, the State Department.
