NEW: in a hearing where a judge is asking the government why it’s defying her court order about deploying tear gas without warning in Chicago, the government argues ICE isn’t using body cams, and they can’t start using them because the government is shut down.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 6h

Skedzielewski also cites the shutdown and says "I don't believe that it will be possible, on a short timeline, to roll out a body cam program in the Chicago [area of responsibility] for ICE.

For CBP it "may be more workable."

Open enrollment for ACA plans began yesterday in Idaho.

One couple got notice that their monthly premium next year would jump from $51 to $2,232 as subsidies expire.

25,000 Idahoans are expected to be priced out of coverage.

This is what's at stake in Trump's shutdown.

Raskin: "There's a regime of fear that has come down on the Republican Party. They've looked at what happened to Liz Cheney, to Adam Kinzinger, to Mitt Romney, to others who have taken on the president. They insist on absolute 100% loyalty above everything else."
