The federal budget deficit rose to nearly $2 trillion for the past fiscal year, spurred in part by ballooning interest payments and tariff refunds, the Congressional Budget Office reported Thursday. The gap between the revenue the federal government collects and the amount it spends widened by $218 billion, or 12%, in the last fiscal year, which ended September 30. The US debt hit a record $40 trillion in August, a grim milestone that will have consequences for Americans, businesses and the government for years to come. Yet the "big, beautiful bill" that President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans enacted last year is expected to add trillions more to the national debt over a decade as its generous tax breaks outweigh the package's spending cuts.
The Trump administration announced Friday that it was canceling $810 million in congressionally approved spending for programs serving illegal immigrants, diversity initiatives and other efforts the administration argued do not benefit American citizens.

The GOP's budget bill mandated new eligibility and work-reporting requirements that have been particularly difficult in rural coal country, where jobs and training programs are scarce. While Trump claimed he'd bring back coal jobs during the 2024 campaign, he hasn't delivered. So, those who counted on those jobs are still struggling. Then Congress cut whatever safety net was left.

An ICE officer shot a man in New York City on Thursday as the man's 5-year-old child was in the car, officials said, prompting anger from protesters and the city's mayor who called it "an outrage." The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said that the shooting happened at around 4 p.m. during a "targeted enforcement operation" as federal officers were seeking a "criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic" who had a prior conviction for grand larceny. "During the incident, an ICE officer discharged his weapon and the criminal illegal alien was injured," the department said, without naming the victim. At least one ICE agent fired seven rounds, and the man was struck in the neck, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a news conference Thursday night, as protesters shouted nearby.
