Records show what led to convicted murderer's accidental release from Miami-Dade jail

What to Know

• The Senate again failed to pass the same two short-term funding bills it tried to pass last night, lengthening the federal government shutdown that began today to at least three days, as Senators won’t be in session tomorrow for votes in observance of Yom Kippur.
• Every federal department and agency has its own set of procedures for operating during a shutdown. Many federal employees will be furloughed, but others may need to show up for work without pay. Trump has also threatened to impose mass layoffs on federal workers.
• Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought told House Republicans that the government would begin firing federal employees within “one to two” days. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also told reporters that firings were “imminent,” blaming Democrats for the shutdown.
• Several federal agencies’ websites have posted partisan messages blaming Democrats for the shutdown, including the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Forest Service, which declared that the government was shut down by “Radical Left Democrats.”
