Hi there,

It’s Tuesday. Today we’re talking about the Senate approving a last-minute funding package to end the government shutdown, President Trump granting pardons to close insiders in his political orbit, and more.

We’re also tracking the administration’s dismissal of the affordability crisis in America today, citing misleading claims about cheaper Thanksgiving meal costs as millions prepare to gather for the holiday.

🖊️ Add your name to demand media outlets hold political leaders accountable for accuracy when discussing the cost of living.
