Vice President JD Vance brushed off outrage over President Donald Trump sharing a video meme depicting House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in a sombrero, saying he was confused by claims it was ‘racist.’ ‘Oh, I think it’s funny,’ Vance said Wednesday when asked if posting sombrero memes was ‘helpful’ while trying to reach a government

With neither President Donald Trump and the Republican majority in Congress, nor congressional Democrats, willing to lower the temperature, the government shut down at midnight Tuesday.
