Trump warns of “irreversible” actions in case of government shutdown

As the US Senate prepared to vote again on a stopgap bill to keep the government funded for a few more weeks, President Donald Trump said a government shutdown was likely and warned Democrats that the administration could take some “irreversible” actions in such a scenario, including cuts to personnel and benefits. Meanwhile, YouTube agreed to pay Trump $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit over the freezing of his account in the wake of the January 6 riot in 2021.
