What winter weather impacts are expected on the East Coast?
A winter storm over the mid-Atlantic coast. I'm Roger Stern, Fox News. A nor'easter is sweeping across parts of the East Coast this weekend. Fox's Christina Coleman with the latest.
As the storm strengthens, it will likely become a bomb cyclone. Snow is expected to rapidly expand across the higher terrain of Virginia, the Carolinas, and into northern Georgia. Saturday appears to be the day when the bulk of the snowfall occurs in this region. Some travelers are already bracing for flight cancellations and delays due to the storm. There's also some concern over powerful winds during high tide Sunday morning that could increase the risk for coastal flooding in some locations.
The storm could also hit the northeast. A partial government shutdown has begun, though lawmakers are hoping it won't last for very long. Fox's Madeline Rivera in Washington with more.
Most federal offices are closed through the weekend, so the effects of the shutdown may be minimal if the House votes to pass the bill when they return to D.C. on Monday. The package only funds DHS for two weeks, and during that time, Dems say they'll have negotiations on how to overhaul immigration enforcement. In a call with House Republicans on Friday, House Speaker Mike Johnson said he wants a vote on the Senate deal Monday night. Johnson saying, I'm going to encourage you. No, I'm going to beg you to get back on Sunday night. It's very frustrating. I have been very frustrated by all of this, but I've got to tip my hat to the president. He knows the art of the deal.
It's unclear how many House members will support the revised package. Violent agitators arrested outside a federal detention center in L.A. last night. Thousands of protesters met in front of City Hall before marching to the detention center where a mob blocked the entrance to the building's loading dock. America is listening to Fox News.

House Republicans released a plan they say will secure America's elections.
Dubbed the Make Elections Great Again Act, the GOP-led bill would require photo ID when casting a ballot and verification of citizenship when registering to vote. The mega act would also require mail-in ballots be received by the time polls close on Election Day. while some states allow mail-in ballots be received after Election Day. It's part of Republicans' push to secure U.S. elections, but House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries calls it dead on arrival.
Voter suppression is part of the Republican plan to try desperately to hold on to power.
It's unclear how soon the bill could get a vote in the House. On Capitol Hill, Ryan Schmelz, Fox News.
A new report says President Trump's troop deployment to several major cities has not been cheap.
The Congressional Budget Office says the price tag to put troops in several American cities in 2025 is about $496 million. The CBO looked at things like the cost to activate, deploy and compensate National Guard personnel, as well as the logistical costs of maintaining those deployments. The president has sent National Guard or active duty Marine Corps troops to L.A., Washington, Chicago. Portland, Oregon, Memphis, and New Orleans, all as a way to fight crime. The CBO report was done at the request of Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon, the ranking member on the Senate Budget Committee.
How is the government shutdown affecting federal operations?
In Washington, Jill Nadeau.
Fox News. The president of the union representing rank and file Seattle police officers is shooting down a plan by the city's mayor to have police investigate, verify, and document reports of ICE enforcement activities. This after Seattle's progressive mayor, Katie Wilson, announced a series of moves. I'm Roger Stern, and this is Fox News.
