The government shutdown has reached three weeks, tying for the second-longest in U.S. history, with no end in sight. Another Senate vote failed yesterday as Democrats insist on extending health care subsidies for millions under the Affordable Care Act. Meanwhile, about 750-thousand federal workers remain furloughed, and others are on the job without pay.        President Trump now has the green light to deploy National Guard troops in Portland. A federal appeals court ruled the president's decision can't be reviewed by the courts, though one judge called that "absurd" and a threat to states' rights and free speech. In related news, Washington, DC's attorney general says the Guard could stay in the capital through next summer, and Trump is hinting he might use the Insurrection Act to send troops to San Francisco.        The 2025 World Series is set. The Toronto Blue Jays are taking on the Los Angeles Dodgers. Game One of the World Series is Friday night in Toronto.        Amazon Web Services says it has fixed the widespread internet outages that disrupted major websites and apps Monday. Services like Venmo, Microsoft Outlook, Zoom, Snapchat, Lyft, and even Amazon's own Alexa and Ring were affected earlier in the day. AWS confirmed all systems are back to normal, though experts warn the outage could end up costing hundreds of billions of dollars.        A Florida mother won't face charges after her five-year-old daughter fell overboard on a Disney cruise ship. The girl fell about 50 feet through a porthole while sitting on the railing for a photo. Her father jumped in to save her, and both were rescued by the ship's crew. Officials said the mother was negligent but not criminally responsible.        Ticketmaster says it's cracking down on scalpers. The company plans to limit users to one account using Social Security or taxpayer ID verification and will use AI to spot and cancel reseller accounts. The move comes amid an FTC lawsuit accusing Ticketmaster of working with resellers to hike ticket prices, allegations the company denies.
