Overview

• Fox News reported the White House provided details on 49 undocumented migrants, all since deported, saying they had received Medicaid and faced charges that include murder, rape, assault and burglary.
• The federal government remains shut down after more than two weeks as Senate votes on a short-term funding bill keep failing, with Democrats pressing to reinstate Medicaid items altered by the prior 'Big Beautiful Bill.'
• An eighth Senate attempt to pass a continuing resolution failed Tuesday night, and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto broke with most Democrats while Sen. John Fetterman did not vote.
• White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson accused Democrats of prolonging the shutdown to provide healthcare to illegal immigrants, a characterization Democrats dispute in the broader fight over Medicaid policy.
• Federal law bars full Medicaid coverage for undocumented people, but 14 states and Washington, D.C., offer state-funded benefits and Emergency Medicaid covers qualifying ER care; administration allies cite increased emergency-care spending and more than 1 million recipients as claims not independently verified in these reports.
