Trump's Week: Shutdown Deal, "Insurrectionist" Label, and Rinna Feud?

Multiple news sources report that Kari Lake, who oversees the parent agency of Voice of America (VOA), is facing criticism for potentially violating federal law and policies by using the U.S. government-owned network to promote President Trump and his views, specifically during a VOA Persian-language service interview where she praised Trump's actions and criticized his opponents. Critics argue that Lake's actions undermine VOA's editorial independence, while Lake defends her actions by stating that sharing statements from President Trump is essential to telling the story of the Iranian people and their support for him.

Trump's Threats, Shutdown Loom as Minnesota Resists ICE

Multiple news sources indicate that a partial government shutdown is looming at the end of the week as Senate Republicans and Democrats remain deadlocked over a six-bill appropriations package, primarily due to Democratic objections to Department of Homeland Security funding amidst ongoing outcry over immigration policies. This potential shutdown, while less extensive than the previous 43-day shutdown, could still furlough federal workers and disrupt government services if an agreement isn't reached, though the impact could be mitigated if resolved quickly.
