The government is officially shut down after Congress failed to pass a spending agreement before last night’s midnight deadline. PBS News reports on how government services could change during this period. Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth addressed an unusual gathering of hundreds of U.S. military leaders in Virginia. Idrees Ali, Pentagon reporter for Reuters, joins to talk about what Trump and Hegseth said and some key policy changes coming out of the meeting. Many TV and radio stations are reeling after Congress passed Trump’s bill gutting federal public-media funding. The Washington Post’s Scott Nover breaks down how it will reshape the airwaves. Plus, Trump withdrew his pick to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a judge sided with international students detained by ICE over campus activism, and how scientists tricked skin cells into becoming human eggs.
