Day 14 of the government shutdown, Todd walks through why a clean continuing resolution stalled in the Senate and why even media voices like Jake Tapper and Shannon Bream are pressing Democrats on the blame narrative. We hit the filibuster facts, Smithsonian/National Zoo closures, and Chuck Schumer’s “weaponization of government” claims—plus Todd’s reaction to President Trump awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk posthumously. Also: newsletter updates and a quick note on wearing red in remembrance.
