Senate to Vote Again as Government Shutdown Continues

The U.S. Senate is set to vote again on dueling bills to reopen the government, both of which are expected to fail, marking the sixth failed attempt. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court will hear a case on Illinois' mail-in ballot counting rules, which could influence voting rights and election laws. Additionally, the ongoing dispute over extending expiring healthcare subsidies under the Affordable Care Act is a key issue in the shutdown debate, with Democrats pushing for renewal to prevent millions from losing coverage and facing higher premiums.
