Despite remarkable progress in the fight against breast cancer over the past four decades, the disease continues to take a devastating toll. This year alone, Susan G. Komen estimates more than 300,000 women in the United States are expected to be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, and over 43,000 women and men will lose their lives to it.

GOP seeks to make Democrats sweat over pay during shutdown
Senate Republicans are looking to turn the heat up on Democrats with a planned vote to pay military members and essential workers, a move they hope will drive a wedge within the minority and lead to an end to the government shutdown.
Although few believe the measure will pass, Republicans hope it exposes further cracks in the Democratic opposition.
“It’s a hard vote for them,” said Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.), a top ally to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R...

Led by Reps. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.) and Jen Kiggans (R-Va.), 13 lawmakers told Johnson that millions of their constituents would face a massive spike in health premiums without an extension of the subsidies before their expiration at the end o...

Trump administration puts 1,400 nuclear staffers on furlough
The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) furloughed more than three-quarters of its staff Monday as the government nears its fourth week of a shutdown.

The Senate on Monday voted against reopening the federal government for the 11th time, pushing the shutdown to the three-week mark with both sides at loggerheads and unable to break the impasse.
The chamber voted 50-43 on the House-passed continuing resolution to fund the government through late November. It needed 60 votes to pass.
Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Angus King (I-Maine) once again crossed party lines and sided with Republicans.&n...
