[b]Dollar falls on U.S. government shutdown, now on pace for worst annual decline in 22 years.[/b]
“The dollar index, which gauges the dollar’s performance against six rival currencies including the euro and the Japanese yen, lost 0.1% to trade at 97.71. The move put the benchmark down 10% for 2025. That would mark the U.S. currency's biggest annual loss since 2003 — when it fell 14.6%.”

[b]GOP Rep Caught Fundraising at Swanky Steakhouse as Shutdown Nears.[/b]
““We’re in session today so we’re working. I’m just here for a short period of time and then we’re back to work,” replied the 66-year-old congressman, who has served nine full terms in Congress.
However, the House was not in regular session Tuesday, as GOP leaders have canceled voting in the lower chamber to crank up the pressure on Senate Democrats to accept their funding measure, The Hill reports.”

[b]Republicans push for constitutional amendment to dock lawmakers' pay during government shutdowns.[/b]
“Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., announced Tuesday that he has reintroduced a proposal for a constitutional amendment to dock federal lawmakers' pay when there is a government shutdown.
"During shutdowns, federal workers are told to ‘do more with less.’ Meanwhile, Congress still cashes paychecks. That’s wrong." Norman noted in a post on X. "I’ve reintroduced an Amendment to end Member pay during shutdowns. Zero. No back pay either!!"
The congressman thanked GOP Reps. Bob Latta of Ohio, Jack Bergman of Michigan, Eli Crane of Arizona, Cory Mills of Florida, Dusty Johnson of South Dakota and John Joyce of Pennsylvania for cosponsoring the proposal.”

[b]Military leaders voice concern over Hegseth’s new Pentagon strategy.[/b]
“Military leaders have raised serious concerns about the Trump administration’s forthcoming defense strategy, exposing a divide between the Pentagon’s political and uniformed leadership as Hegseth summons top brass to a highly unusual summit in Virginia on Tuesday, according to eight current and former officials.
The critiques from multiple top officers, including Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, come as Hegseth reorders U.S. military priorities — centering the Pentagon on perceived threats to the homeland, narrowing U.S. competition with China, and downplaying America’s role in Europe and Africa.”
