Updates from the halls of power.

Senate leaders say they will bring a deal to the floor to end a partial government shutdown

and reopen federal agencies.

Let's hear from Cassandra Joyce.

The Senate moves today to debate a deal to end a government funding lapse.

Leaders from both parties say the measure would reopen agencies and deliver back pay to furloughed workers.

But it must still clear both chambers and secure White House approval.

Supporters call it a pragmatic compromise to restart services and steady the economy.

Critics warn it sidestepped core disputes over border and spending policy, a central part of ongoing negotiations.

The debate reflects broader questions about executive leverage and congressional power in funding fights.

Lawmakers promise swift votes but stop short of declaring victory.

A federal appeals court keeps full SNAP benefits in place, while stricter eligibility rules are

A federal appeals court blocks a bid to tighten supplemental nutrition assistance program eligibility,

preserving benefits for millions, according to a late Sunday order.

a position favored by some fiscal conservatives.

The U.S. Supreme Court says on its order list it will hear a major challenge to Mississippi's

mail-in ballot rules. The case tests limits on who can help return absentee ballots and how

they are handled. Voting rights groups argue the restrictions burden elderly, rural, and disabled

voters, while Mississippi officials defend the law as a safeguard against fraud.

The court schedules arguments for the current term, and its calendar indicates a decision this term.

Election administrators in multiple states warn the ruling could require quick policy changes.

Court officials in Paris say former President Nicolas Sarkozy is released, pending appeal

and a campaign finance conviction.

Here's Monica Kellan with more.

A Paris court suspends the remainder of Nicolas Sarkozy's sentence while his appeal proceeds,

court officials say. Judges upheld his conviction in a campaign finance case tied to overspending

in his 2012 re-election bid. Sarkozy denies wrongdoing and is pursuing an appeal that could

take months. The ruling keeps a polarizing figure in French politics in the spotlight.

It also tests France's resolve to police campaign money at the highest levels.

Business and finance stories coming up.

Carrier notices and aviation analysts say UPS and FedEx have grounded some MD-11 cargo jets,

a move that could tighten capacity and affect holiday shipping timelines.

Now, Ethan Wells joins us.

UEPs and FedEx have grounded some MD-11 cargo jets,

sidelining aircraft that haul thousands of packages each,

according to carrier advisories and industry analysts.

The pause affects peak holiday shipping when volume jumps sharply in late November and December.

Logistics experts say carriers are rerouting freight to passenger-belly cargo,

trains, and long-haul trucks.

Major hubs like Louisville, Memphis, and Anchorage feel the pinch first.

Retailers may face tighter cutoff dates and higher surcharges.

Consumers should ship earlier.

One airport operations manager says,

Capacity is tighter, not closed, urging flexibility on delivery times.
