The economic data tap might soon reopen if Congress is successful in passing a funding deal. Why it matters: Among the disruptions from the longest government shutdown on record — an interruption in the flow of indicators, including two monthly jobs reports, third-quarter GDP, the Consumer Price Index and more. The intrigue: After more than a month of a data drought, there will be a flood of information as government agencies release their reports that had been delayed by the shutdown, including at least five weeks of jobless claims data...

President Donald Trump on Monday welcomed Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa to the White House as the administration moved to formally lift decades of U.S. sanctions on Damascus. The Treasury Department announced new rules that will end most trade restrictions and suspend key provisions of the Caesar Act, clearing the way for United States and foreign investment in Syria’s reconstruction. The policy shift, outlined in an Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) advisory released Monday, keeps sanctions in place against former President Bashar al-Assad, human rights abusers, and drug traffickers but opens broad civilian and commercial channels...

U.S. President Donald Trump ordered all air traffic controllers to "get back to work" and threatened that those who did not would have their pay "substantially" docked. Thousands of flights have been canceled as a result of the federal government shutdown, due to a shortage of air traffic control (ATC) staff needed to maintain air safety. "All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!!" Trump wrote in a Monday morning post on Truth Social...

President Donald Trump recently floated giving $2,000 to most Americans from tariff revenue collected by the administration. Trump made the proposal on social media Sunday and added that those who are against tariffs are “fools.” The idea isn’t a new concept. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., introduced legislation in July that would give $600 tariff rebates to nearly all Americans and their dependent children to “allow hard-working Americans to benefit from the wealth that Trump’s tariffs are returning to this country.”...

Every night, not long after the sun drops below the dusty horizon on the outskirts of Bakersfield, Jesus Alonso begins the ritual of safely putting his 8-year-old son, also named Jesus, to bed. In the same home he grew up in, in the same bedroom where he slept throughout his own adolescence, the older Jesus goes to his child’s bedside and sets him at a 45-degree angle, so his head is elevated, to help him breathe, and always on his side — in case he throws up in his sleep. He puts a bucket beside the mattress for the same reason. A freshly cleaned and refilled humidifier infused with a liquid cough suppressant exhales camphor- and menthol-scented mist. Jesus aims an air purifier at his son’s bed, but not directly; the air is angled to blow onto him from off the wall so it works without hitting him too hard. Jesus developed this routine out of desperation. It’s the only measure — despite dozens of medications and doctor visits — that seems to work...

Arrivederci, made-in-Italy pasta. Thirteen Italian pasta brands could pull their products from US grocery stores — or potentially be forced to hike prices dramatically as soon as January, when punishing 107% tariffs are set to take effect. The levies — the highest the White House has moved to impose on a specific product since the start of President Trump’s crackdown on imports — come from the US’ 15% baseline tariff on European Union goods plus a punishing 92% levy over accusations that Italian pasta makers have been undercutting US competitors...

President Trump is threatening to sue the BBC for $1 billion for "false, defamatory" statements made in a documentary about his rally speech on Jan. 6, 2021. In a letter sent to BBC Chair Samir Shah and general counsel Sarah Jones on Sunday, Trump attorney Alejandro Brito threatened a lawsuit over a BBC Panorama documentary that allegedly included "false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements" about the president, and demanded it be retracted immediately, Fox News reported...

Continuing a trend of retiring figures in the 119th Congress, Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-N.J., announced that she will not seek re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives next year. "I made a commitment years ago to always lead the charge on behalf of those I represent, and I believe I have fulfilled that commitment to the very best of my abilities. I have always stood on the front lines in the fight for principled progressive policies," Coleman said in a post on X...
