The federal government has officially shut down after lawmakers in Washington failed to reach a budget agreement by the deadline. Roughly 750,000 federal workers are expected to be furloughed. Essential services, including the FBI, CIA, air traffic control, and the armed forces, will continue operating, but employees will not receive pay until funding is restored. Economic experts say a short shutdown may have minimal impact, but if it continues, financial uncertainty could affect markets and economic growth. The Senate is expected to vote again later today in hopes of ending the shutdown.

At least 69 people have died after a powerful earthquake struck the central Philippines late Tuesday. Rescuers are using backhoes and sniffer dogs to search for survivors amid collapsed homes and damaged buildings. The magnitude 6.9 earthquake hit Tuesday night, trapping residents in the city of Bogo and surrounding rural communities in Cebu province. Heavy rain and damaged roads are hampering rescue efforts, making it difficult for emergency crews to reach some areas. Officials warn the death toll could rise as search teams continue to comb through the hardest-hit locations.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth slammed "fat generals" and diversity initiatives that he said led to decades of decay in the military and told a rare gathering of commanders on Tuesday they should resign if they don't support his agenda. "Foolish and reckless political leaders set the wrong compass heading and we lost our way. We became the 'Woke Department,'" Hegseth said as he kicked off the event in Quantico, Virginia. "But not anymore," he said. Addressing a room full of America's top generals and admirals, summoned from around the world without explanation last week, Hegseth promised sweeping changes to how discrimination complaints are handled and how accusations of wrongdoing are investigated at the Pentagon. He said all fitness tests would be set to male benchmarks only and emphasized the importance of grooming standards. "The era of unprofessional appearance is over. No more beardos," Hegseth told the audience, which sat in silence. The U.S. military is meant to be apolitical, loyal to the U.S. Constitution and independent of any party or political movement. Javed Ali of the University of Michigan, who worked as a senior counter terrorism expert in the government said, the military is also reviewing how to brace for the future. "How do you draw on the lessons of the last 20 plus years, and even going back to Vietnam or other conflicts that were at best those were stalemates." The Pentagon has undergone eight months of blistering changes since Trump took office, including firings, banning books from academy libraries and ordering lethal strikes on suspected drug boats off Venezuela. Earlier this month, Trump signed an executive order to rename the Department of Defense the "Department of War," reverting to a title it held until after World War Two when officials sought to emphasize the Pentagon's role in preventing conflict. The name change will require congressional approval.

Hamas says it will study U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza both within the group and with other Palestinian factions before responding. There was no indication on Tuesday when that response might come. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already thrown his support behind the proposal. Hamas faces a bitter tradeoff — the proposal demands that it effectively surrender and disarm. But if it rejects the deal, the U.S. could give Israel an even freer hand to continue its punishing campaign in the already devastated territory. Meanwhile, Israeli forces killed at least 31 Palestinian in Gaza.

Drugmaker Pfizer has agreed to lower drug costs and invest $70 billion in U.S. manufacturing under a deal struck with President Donald Trump's administration. Trump made the announcement with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla at the White House on Tuesday. The announcement comes as the Republican president has for months sought to lower drug costs. Trump says under the agreement New York-based Pfizer will charge most-favored-nation pricing to Medicaid and guarantee that pricing on newly launched drugs. That involves matching the lowest price offered in other developed nations.

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer says Republicans are trying to “bully” Democrats by refusing to negotiate as a standoff over health care and spending threatens to trigger the first U.S. government shutdown in almost seven years. Schumer says President Donald Trump and fellow Republicans have until midnight Tuesday “to get serious.” Trump is threatening retribution, saying that a shutdown could include “cutting vast numbers of people out, cutting things that they like, cutting programs that they like.” The government will shut down at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday if the Senate does not pass a House measure that would extend federal funding for seven weeks. Senate Democrats say they won’t vote for it unless Republicans include an extension of expiring health care benefits.
