The longest U.S. federal government shutdown in history has entered its 43rd day. The House of Representatives is returning to session today to vote on a short-term funding bill to end the shutdown. The Senate approved the measure on Monday after seven Democrats and one independent backed the Republican bill even though the bill did not include an extension of the Affordable Care Act subsidies, which was a key demand for Democratic lawmakers. Some Democrats in the House are now calling for Senator Chuck Schumer to resign his position as minority leader — including Democratic congressmember from California, Ro Khanna. "The President was panicking," says Khanna. "He realized that he had lost the election over this. We caved too soon." Khanna also discusses his bill to force the public release of the Epstein files, surrounding the federal investigation into the serial sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.

The government shutdown has brought attention to food insecurity in the United States, as it disrupted the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, or SNAP, which helps about 42 million people across the country. Delayed and partial payments have occurred despite the availability of contingency funds to keep the program going during the shutdown, because the Trump administration initially chose not to use those funds. "42 million Americans, 16 million of them children, are really struggling to be able to afford nutritious food for their health," says Mariana Chilton, child hunger expert. "It's deeply concerning."

We speak to The American Prospect's David Dayen about what could be the end to the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, after seven Democratic Senators and one independent struck a deal with Republicans to pass a short-term government funding bill. "Why would you end this?" asks Dayen, echoing many in the Democratic coalition who believe the deal was a poor strategic move for the anti-Trump opposition. Calls are now growing for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to step down. "Donald Trump and the Republicans were being blamed for all of this chaos…and yet, days later this this group of Democrats with the tacit support of Chuck Schumer decide that they're going to end this and cave."

In recent weeks, the United States has conducted several deadly airstrikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean Sea, which the Trump administration has claimed, without providing evidence, were being used to traffic drugs. A group of United Nations experts said U.S. strikes targeting boats in the Caribbean off the coast of Venezuela amount to "extrajudicial executions."
"There seems to be a much bigger political context behind this than really going after drug traffickers, which seems to be … not at all the main goal of the U.S. administration," says Guillaume Long, senior research fellow at the Center for Economic and Policy Research and former foreign minister of Ecuador. Long says "regime change in Venezuela" and anger over Colombian President Gustavo Petro's pro-Palestinian politics are also motivating factors in the U.S. campaign. Meanwhile, Manuel Rozental, a Colombian physician and activist, says the drug war is about economic control.
