Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s funeral is now underway. The 46th Vice President of the United States funeral is being held at the Washington National Cathedral. Some notable public officials are in attendance to pay their respects to the Vice President who was nicknamed the “architect of the Iraq War.” CBS provided a detail list of who all is in attendance as they arrived: Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is present for the service, along with Associate Justices Clarence Thomas, Elena Kagan and Brett Kavanaugh. Retired Justice Anthony Kennedy is also there, with a cane. A number of senators are in attendance for the funeral, including Majority Leader John Thune, Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, John Boozman of Arkansas, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, Cynthia Lummis and John Barrasso of Wyoming, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Roger Wicker of Mississippi and Adam Schiff of California. A handful of House members were also in attendance, including Reps. Debbie Dingell of Michigan, Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Bennie Thompson of Mississippi. Raskin, Thompson and Schiff, before he became a senator, served on the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol alongside Cheney’s daughter. Former President Joe Biden and former first lady Jill Biden have arrived for the service. The Bidens greeted Harris and Pence, with the former first lady sitting next to Harris. Former President George W. Bush and former first lady Laura Bush arrived for the service moments later, with Biden sitting next to Laura Bush. Former Vice President Mike Pence and his wife, Karen, arrived for the service, with Pence sitting next to Harris. Pence and Harris greeted each other warmly. Former Vice President Kamala Harris, who is concluding her book tour, has arrived for the service, shaking hands as she sat in her row.

Sitting presidents typically attend the funerals of former presidents and vice presidents, but the George W. Bush administration VP’s previous support for Trump soured after the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot and he publicly criticized the GOP leader in a 2022 campaign ad for his daughter, then-Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.). Trump has repeatedly attacked the former congresswoman since she served as vice chair of the Jan. 6 committee and he said last November she should have guns “trained on her face.” Liz Cheney, who lost her Republican primary to a Trump-backed challenger in her 2022 Republican primary, announced she was voting for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in November’s elections and said her father was doing the same. Dick Cheney died earlier this month at age 84 from complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease.

The Trump admin have just shocked economists. The Department of Labor have just released a job report for September and the numbers are double what economists expected. The job reports for September were delayed due to the recent government shutdown, but the numbers show U.S. employers added 119,000 jobs. Economists were expecting the number to be more around 50,000. ‘Jobs report BLOWS PAST EXPECTATIONS, defying hiring slowdown’ — with job gains going to native-born American workers. AMERICA FIRST. pic.twitter.com/yAkvUiXinW — The White House (@WhiteHouse) November 20, 2025 PBS broke down the numbers from the report: U.S. employers added a surprisingly solid 119,000 jobs in September, the government said, issuing a key economic report that had been delayed for seven weeks by the federal government shutdown. The unemployment rate rose to 4.4% in September, highest since October 2021 and up from 4.3% in August, the Labor Department said Thursday. The unemployment rate rose partly because 470,000 people entered the labor market — either working or looking for work — in September and not all of them found jobs right away. The increase in payrolls was more than double the 50,000 economists had forecast. But Labor Department revisions showed that the economy lost 4,000 jobs in August instead of gaining 22,000 as originally reported. Altogether, revisions shaved 33,000 jobs off July and August payrolls. Health care and social assistance firms added more than 57,000 jobs in September, construction companies 19,000 and retailers almost 14,000. But factories shed 6,000 jobs and the federal government lost 3,000. Average hourly wages rose just 0.2% from August and 3.8% from a year earlier, edging closer to the 3.5% year-over-year increase that the Federal Reserve’s inflation fighters like to see. During the 43-day U.S. government shutdown, investors, businesses, policymakers and the Federal Reserve were groping in the dark for clues about the health of the American job market because federal workers had been furloughed and couldn’t collect the data. BREAKING: Thanks to President Trump, the September jobs report CRUSHED economists expectations! pic.twitter.com/C1Voxhaedh — The White House (@WhiteHouse) November 20, 2025 CBS reported what this new report means for the U.S. economy: The September employment figures suggest job growth remains firm amid concerns that the labor market was at risk of stalling. “The September jobs report may be backward-looking, but offers reassurance that the labor market wasn’t crumbling before the government shutdown,” Nancy Vanden Houten, lead economist at Oxford Economics, said in a research note. Although job growth has weakened, “it is not collapsing,” added Paul Ashworth, chief North America economist at Capital Economics. The hiring numbers will shape Federal Reserve officials’ decision on whether to cut interest rates at their next meeting in December. Art Hogan, chief market strategist at investment firm B. Riley Financial, thinks the odds of a rate cut have “diminished significantly” given there will not be a full October employment report and the November report won’t be issued until after the Fed meets in December. Ashworth expects the Fed to delay its next rate cut until January. The probability of a rate cut now stands at 22%, according to economists polled by FactSet.
