This government shutdown to going on for a long time now. It's time for our government to reopen and start working for the American people. We need to some bipartisanship happening on Congress right now. Time to get back to work right now.

The president of the United States is on his way to an NFL game after a weekend spent partying at his country club and fighting to starve poor Americans.

And Senate Democrats want to surrender to him?!

Fuck that and fuck them.

While lots of snow in the middle of winter can cause dangerous travel conditions, the FIRST snow of the season can also cause accidents. Be careful as you and other drivers adjust to poor conditions. Don’t let the first snow sneak up on you!

Stay up to date with the latest forecast at weather.gov.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

U.S. Supreme Court temporarily let's Donald Trump to block full SNAP benefits payments during a shutdown.

FOX: So you would ask Speaker Johnson to recall the House?

GOP REP. KEVIN KILEY: Not only would I, I've asked him to do it repeatedly. There's no justification. And honestly, it's Republican voters who should be most upset about this when they delivered a GOP majority and now that's being wasted

Space weather is a two-sided coin: it creates beautiful auroras, but it can also jeopardize the technologies we rely on daily. See all the impacts of space weather at weather.gov/safety

Space weather impacts: Aurora (northern lights). GPS. Satellites. Communications. Human space exploration. Aviation. Electric Power.

The Geomagnetic Storm Impact Scale.
G1 - Minor: Weak power grid fluctuations and minor impacts on satellites are possible. Migratory animals are affected at this and higher levels. Aurora is commonly visible at high latitudes.
G2 - Moderate: Transformer damage is possible with long duration storms. Corrective actions to spacecraft orientation may be required; may affect orbit predictions. Aurora may be seen as low as New York and Idaho.
G3 - Strong: Power system voltage corrections may be required. Satellite and LF radio navigation problems may occur. HF radio may be interrupted. Aurora may be seen as low as Illinois & Oregon.
G4 - Severe: Possible widespread voltage control problems on the power grid. HF radio sporadic, satellite navigation degraded for hours, LF radio navigation issues. Aurora may be seen as low as Alabama and northern California.
G5 - Extreme: Blackouts or complete collapse of power grids possible. Navigation systems may be out for hours or days. Aurora may be seen as low as Florida and southern Texas.

With temperatures expected to swing much colder over the weekend and early next week across much of US, including the potential for below-freezing temperatures in many locations, remember to prepare and protect the 4 P's: People, Pets, Pipes, and Plants. weather.gov/safety

Protect people, pets, pipes and plants from cold weather. People: 1) Minimize time outdoors. 2) Prepare for power outages. 3) Check on the elderly and other vulnerable people to make sure they're ok. Pets: 1) Keep your pets warm, dry and indoors as much as possible. 2) Ensure their food and water doesn't freeze. 3) Limit outside time and keep them bundled up. Pipes: 1) Insulate pipes if possible. 2) Open up sink cabinets to expose pipes to heated air. 3) Disconnect hoses & turn off water to sprinklers. Plants: 1) Know their temperature thresholds. 2) If possible, cover them before the cold weather sets in to help retain some heat.

A strong cold front this weekend will put the "ber" in November as frigid air spills out across the Plains and Mississippi Valley. This winter-like chill will flood across the eastern half of the country early next week, bringing the potential for record cold temperatures to the Gulf by Tuesday.
