Trump is 'Desperate' to Break Shutdown Deadlock, Republicans Claim
US President Donald Trump's handling of the ongoing government shutdown has taken a new turn, with Republican lawmakers accusing him of being "desperate" to end the stalemate. The 33rd day of the shutdown has seen Trump delay food assistance funding for millions of low-income Americans, despite his claims that he has no power to ease the burden on vulnerable citizens.
According to House Speaker Mike Johnson, Trump is a "big-hearted president who wants everybody to get their services," but he's willing to do whatever it takes to break the impasse. However, Trump continues to resist pressure from lawmakers and federal courts to provide relief to Americans affected by the shutdown.
The latest development comes as the US President focuses on his own agenda, including a $300 million gilded White House ballroom, which has raised eyebrows among critics. The project, dubbed "The Rose Garden Ballroom," is part of Trump's ongoing efforts to renovate and expand the White House.
Meanwhile, three people were killed in a US military strike on an alleged drug vessel in the Caribbean Sea, according to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. This marks at least the 15th such strike carried out by the US military since early September.
In other news, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has reportedly spoiled Halloween celebrations in Chicago, with residents describing the raids as "scary" and "sad." The ICE operations were part of a larger effort to target undocumented immigrants on a day typically associated with fun and festivities.
As Americans continue to feel the effects of the shutdown, California voters are poised to approve a redistricting measure that could potentially limit Trump's power. The move is seen as an attempt to counter the president's influence over the electoral process.
Despite the challenges ahead, Trump remains committed to his agenda, with many Republicans backing him in his efforts to break the shutdown deadlock.

. I mean, can you imagine not getting your food assistance funding? It's like, basic human rights, right? 
Trump's trying to make a point, but is it really worth the hurt he's causing Americans who are already struggling? 
. I get that Trump wants to renovate and expand, but can't we prioritize things that affect people's daily lives instead of fancy party spaces? 
. I feel for the families who got caught up in it. It's not right that they're targeting undocumented immigrants on Halloween, of all days! 
It's like, can't we celebrate our diversity without fear? 
. Maybe this is the push he needs to get things done 
. Fingers crossed! 
I'm so tired of this government shutdown drama. Like, can't they all just get along? 
The US President's plan for a $300 million gilded White House ballroom is pretty wild, though... who needs that kinda luxury when there are people struggling to get food assistance? 
And those ICE raids in Chicago? 
That's some scary stuff. It's like they're not even considering the human impact of their actions. Can't we all just focus on being decent humans for once? 
Meanwhile, it's refreshing to see California voters pushing back against Trump's influence... maybe this is a sign that things are about to get more interesting

IT'S NOT FAIR THAT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE BEING AFFECTED BY TRUMP'S STALEMATE WITH CONGRESS 
. And now he's trying to build a fancy ballroom in the White House? Like, isn't that what's really important right now? 
. And I'm kinda worried about this redistricting measure in California... does that mean Trump might lose power or something? 
. Can't we all just get along and find a way to work together? 
And then there's the fact that he's pushing for this fancy White House ballroom renovation when people are struggling to get by.
And let's not forget those innocent lives lost in that Caribbean Sea strike - that's just devastating
