Tonight, the shutdown's real-world impact taking effect, with rising premiums for Obamacare

and new warnings of cuts to food stamps and head start.

Then the growing backlash to the president's multi-billion dollar bailout for Argentina and

the potential new threat to future elections coming from inside the administration as the 11th hour gets underway on this Wednesday night.

Good evening once again. I am Stephanie Ruhl and check your calendar. It is day 276 of the second Trump administration.

And welcome to the midweek nightcap. We are now in the fourth

week of this government shutdown. It is now officially the second longest in American history. And more

and more Americans are starting to feel the very real impact of both the shutdown and the issue

at the center of it, Obamacare subsidies. Many people are already seeing the higher premiums they are about to get hit with,

and it could get worse next week.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans who are SNAP recipients are now at risk of losing their food assistance next month.

Many states, including Texas, New York, Missouri, and New Jersey have warned

that if the shutdown is not

resolved by Monday, November payments could be disrupted or skipped entirely. And Head Start

locations that help thousands of preschoolers around the country are also warning that their

programs could be in danger if the shutdown stretches into the month of November.

Meanwhile, many federal workers are now turning to food banks.

They are turning to food banks to feed themselves and their families as the shutdown drags on. But one governor is responding.

Gavin Newsom now has his state's National Guard helping staff the food banks in California.

With that, let's bring in our nightcap and you're in luck.

It is a good one.
