The president is calling on Republicans to use the shutdown to, quote, clear out dead wood. He says billions of dollars can be saved. And Trump is sitting down with his budget director Russ Vogt to determine which of the many, quote, democratic agencies may be cut. Trump writes in a social media post, I can't believe the radical left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. Trump even cited Vote's work on the controversial Project 20, where he advocated for a more activist approach to cutting spending and overhauling the federal workforce. The White House is pushing Democrats to negotiate, but Voat's work shows he's less concerned about Democrats and more focused on making the cuts. Franco Ordonez, NPR News.

Abrego Garcia's lawyers filed to reopen his asylum case, claiming he now qualifies since he was sent out to El Salvador and later returned to the US that motion was denied on Wednesday for several reasons, including that the judge found Abrego Garcia was not singled out by guards while in detention. In 2019, Abrego Garcia requested asylum but was not eligible because over a year had passed since he'd entered the U S illegally. Still, a judge ruled that he could not be sent to El Salvador because his family was the target of gang violence there. Nevertheless, in March of this year, he was detained and deported to El Salvador. A Supreme Court ruling got him returned to the U.S. the Trump administration then accused him of human trafficking, to which he has pled not guilty. Jasmine Garsd, NPR News, New York.

With a Democratic majority in both houses, New Mexico lawmakers passed five bills totaling $100 million in state funds to help replace funding for programs cut in this summer's so called Big Beautiful bill.
