And Katie, let's end with you.

That's what we call half a loaf.

And does that almost by definition mean that this is going to be the longest shutdown in U.S.

history?

And that it could even go through the end of the year?

All right.

Well, Tyler, Tony, Katie, like I said, you sound like a family of tigers.

Thank you very much.

We appreciate it.

On Thursday night, The Times reported on President Trump's latest unusual budget maneuver during the shutdown.

He now plans to pay ICE officers by drawing from funds approved in a tax cut bill passed in July.

That would circumvent Congress, which did not approve new spending for ICE before the government shut down on October 1st.

We'll be right back.

Here's what else you need to know today.

The military commander overseeing the Pentagon's escalating attacks against alleged drug carrying boats in the Caribbean, which have so far killed at least 27 people, now plans to resign.

The Times reports that the commander, Alvin Holsey, has raised concerns about killing the alleged drug traffickers.

Many legal experts say that the airstrikes carried out against those alleged traffickers have no legal justification.

And on Thursday, a grand jury in Maryland indicted former National Security Advisor John Bolden over his handling of classified materials.

Bolton, an outspoken Trump critic since leaving his administration, is the latest Trump enemy to be targeted in the second term, after former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

But unlike the Comey and James cases, the investigation into Bolton began during the Biden presidency and appeared to follow normal procedures within the Justice Department.
