In terms of standing up to Donald Trump, the shutdown actually gave him more power.
Democrats spiraling after a small group of their colleagues decided to join Republicans and move to end the government shutdown.
He pardons cronies. He pardons people who support him, who say nice things about him. And he pardoned people in this case and in the case of January 6th.
President Trump issues pardons for the so-called alternate electors Team Trump named when challenging the 2020 election results. The BBC facing a possible $1 billion lawsuit from President Trump over its deceitful editing. And two-star MLB pitchers indicted in an alleged illegal gambling scheme. All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update. When customers are walking through the aisles of their local Walmart, they're not just picking up groceries or supplies. They're supporting American businesses and their communities. The real story is what's behind the label. With over two thirds of the products Walmart buys made, grown or assembled right here in the U.S., buying local is not just stocking shelves.
It's about strengthening communities. Because of that commitment, Walmart invested $350 billion in U.S. manufacturing, helping American companies like Fisher & Weiser Specialty Foods, a local Texas business, expand their operations in Fredericksburg, Texas, hire more people, and bring their Texas-grown peach jam to a national market. Their story is just one example of how Walmart's U.S. manufacturing investment is supporting over 750,000 American jobs. Businesses across the country are empowered to sell more, hire more, and help their communities grow. From farms to factories to final shopping carts, learn how Walmart is fueling the future of U.S. manufacturing at Walmart.com slash America at Work.
Democrats melting down after seven members of their party, plus independent Senator Angus King, who caucuses with the Democrats, sided with the GOP to advance a deal which will begin the process of reopening the government without extending the Obamacare tax credits set to expire at the end of the year. Democrats holding out since the government shutdown began on October 1st, demanding Republicans include the Obamacare tax credit extension if they want to reopen the government. Republicans standing firm in their refusal to re-litigate Obamacare as a condition of extending the current government spending levels. Late Sunday, the eight defectors caved, agreeing to advance the House-passed continuing resolution
which keeps spending where it's been, as the first step to reopening the government, the GOP agreeing to hold a vote on the Obamacare subsidies next month. Late Monday evening, the Senate voting to pass a series of spending bills, fully funding certain key departments through the end of the fiscal year, September 30th, and funding the rest of the government until January 30th. sending the legislation back to the House for approval, which could happen later this week. Senator King explaining his decision to vote with Republicans Monday on Morning Joe.
Joe, you have to go back to what the strategy was at the beginning of the shutdown. There were two goals, both of which I support. One was standing up to Donald Trump. The other was getting some resolution on the ACA premium tax credit issue. The problem was the shutdown wasn't accomplishing either goals, and there was practically, well, there was zero likelihood that it was going to. In terms of standing up to Donald Trump, the shutdown actually gave him more power, Exhibit A being what he's done with SNAP, and SNAP benefits across the country. Oh, by the way, Joe, you're going to love this. Guess who's getting paid during the shutdown? Not the park rangers or air traffic controllers, the ICE agents.
U.S. Senator from New Hampshire, Gene Shaheen, a Democrat, another defector, saying, quote, keeping the government shut down for another week or another month does not indicate that there would be any change in the outcome.
