LOCAL AND REGIONAL NEWS

It looks like the longest federal government shutdown in history may end this week. A group of eight Democratic Senators broke ranks and joined Republicans last night on a spending agreement to end the shutdown, now in its 41^st day. Last night’s 60-40 test vote was a first step. Now come Senate debate over the bill before passage along with debate and approval by the House of Representatives, and finally, President Trump’s signature. The new bill would fund the government only through January and would grant federal workers back pay. It would also reverse the layoffs of federal workers made during the shutdown. It would not automatically extend health care tax credits set to expire at the end of the year – which had been a deal-breaker with Democrats up until now. That would be voted on separately, later by both houses. The defecting Democrats said the shutdown had become unsustainable and was hurting too many people. Two of the most obvious ways were airport flight cancellations and slowdowns, and the suspension of food stamps. www.NYTimes.com

The Giants were 9-7-1 under Daboll during his first season with them in 2022. But since then, they’ve gone 11 and 33 – the second-worst record in the NFL during that span. They’re 2 and 8 so far this season. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46918387/brian-daboll-giants-coach-bears-loss

In Major League Baseball – Two Cleveland Guardians pitchers have been indicted for allegedly throwing specific pitches in an arrangement with a gambler, who would compensate them after winning prop bets. The charges came from the same US Attorney’s office that charged several NBA figures with similar betting collusion crimes last month. Prosecutors named Cleveland’s Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz for having helped gamblers win $450k by wagering on pitches. Both have been on non-disciplinary paid leave since July when the investigation began. Ortiz was arrested Sunday. Clase, a three-time All Star and two-tome American League Reliever of the Year collected $4.5m in salary in this, the fourth of a five-year contract. Both players lawyers deny all charges, which upon conviction could lead to jail terms of up to 20 years. https://apnews.com/article/mlb-baseball-gambling-ortiz-clase-a6db1ff46523e2ffa16d84ca427cf7c1

Pfizer has won the bidding war to acquire obesity and metabolic disease drug startup company, Metsera. Pfizer had to abandon its own weight loss medications after trial patients experienced significant side effects. Founded in 2022, Metsara had its IPO in January when its new drugs were in trial. Pfizer offered $7.3b for the upstart in September. But Novo Nordisk made an unsolicited bid of $9b last month, as much to thwart Pfizer’s plans as to acquire the drug maker for itself. Pfizer upped its offer to $10b, which Metsera accepted on Friday. www.morningbrew.com

Visa and Mastercard are close to a settlement of a 20-year legal dispute with merchants that could lower transaction fees. Under the deal, merchants would not have to accept every type of credit card offered by Visa and Mastercard. They could refuse rewards cards, which cost them more to process because the rewards are funded in part by higher interchange fees. This ongoing dispute is the reason more and more merchants have been charging credit card processing fees in recent years. www.morningbrew.com

The Federal Aviation Administration has grounded all MD-11 cargo planes for inspection following the crash of an MD-11 owned by UPS in Kentucky last week. www.morningbrew.com
