The federal government shutdown has entered its 15th day. On Tuesday, the Senate failed again to pass a funding bill, as Republicans continue to refuse to agree to extend expiring healthcare subsidies under the Affordable Care Act.
President Trump is threatening to cut more funding for projects in Democratic-led areas if the shutdown continues. According to The New York Times, the Trump administration has already frozen or canceled over $27 billion projects in Democratic-led areas.

In other news from Capitol Hill, congressional Democrats are pushing new legislation to fully fund the supplemental nutrition program WIC, the Women, Infants and Children program.
