Today is Friday, October 3rd.

We'll tell you where President Trump is promising to make permanent cuts during his government shutdown.

Also, we're talking about a new notice telling Congress the U.S. is at war with drug cartels.

And backlash over a new abortion pill that just got the FDA's approval.

Plus, the latest records broken on Wall Street.

The reason many conservatives are quitting Netflix and the frenzy

over Taylor Swift's newest album that came out overnight. Those stories and even more news to know

coming up. Welcome, welcome to The Newsworthy. All the day's news in around 10 minutes. Fast,

fair, fun, and on the go. I'm Erica Mandy. Thanks so much for being here.

government layoffs could start being announced today. Already millions of federal workers are not

getting paid, but Trump has also promised to cut jobs that won't come back, even once the shutdown is over.

Though officially, the White House just

says he's looking at agencies that don't align with the administration's values. Since the government

shut down earlier this week, the White House has already frozen federal transit and green energy

funding for Democratic-leaning states. And on social media, Trump wrote, quote, I can't believe
