Manage episode 493570900 series 2545351
Now that the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” is law, Congress is turning its attention to another matter: avoiding a government shutdown. We’ll explain what it will take to keep the government running beyond Congress’ Sept. 30 deadline. And, we’ll fill you in on another deadline: President Trump’s new due date for trade deals before a slew of higher tariff rates kick in. Plus, a listener’s story of frozen pizza and facing fears.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- "Why the federal government will shut down. And why it won’t" from Punchbowl News
- "Trump combats TACO reputation as White House extends tariff deadline" from The Washington Post
- "Too Many Goods Are About To Face Historically High Tariffs" from Tax Policy Center
"Flint finally replaced its lead pipes" from The Washington Post
