⚡️ US national security adviser Sullivan holds meeting with the French ambassador to discuss confidence-building measures after AUKUS row - White House
President Joe Biden signed legislation to avoid partial closings of the federal government and to provide government funding.
Let's see what happens now with the US government and what it would have faced if Biden had not signed the law:
▪️ Biden signed the law and the federal government now has enough money to keep paying bills until December 3rd.
🔺 This is definitely a plus, otherwise all nonessential federal government functions would have been stopped.
▪️ Now about 2.1 million civilian federal employees will not be sent home unpaid during the crisis.
🔺 Without the law, functions that would have stopped include payment of Medicare checks, operation of the national parks, and many of the operations of the Internal Revenue Service.
🔺 As well as Immigration court proceedings, passport applications, the processing of home or small business loans by government financiers, and road repairs
▪️ About 43% of National Institutes of Health (NIH) employees would have been furloughed.
🔺 Nobody knows for sure what would have happened since the US has not yet had a shutdown during the pandemic

🦗 The strange noises US diplomats to Cuba linked to the so-called Havana syndrome, were probably caused by insects rather than microwave weapons, a new declassified report reveals.
Authors of the scientific review, commissioned by the State Department, examined at least eight recordings of the high-frequency sounds.
They found that the sounds were either mechanical or biological, but not electronic – and “no plausible source of energy” could produce both the recorded sounds and the reported effects.
“The most likely source is the Indies short-tailed cricket,” the report concluded.
