For Senate, a day of pomp and ceremony marred by shutdown clouds
The Senate opened a new Congress Thursday with a partial government shutdown still underway. But the day was still reserved for more ceremony than substance. After swearing-in the newly elected and re-elected senators on the Senate floor just after noon on Thursday as outlined in the Constitution, Vice President Mike Pence made his way to the Old Senate Chamber for the traditional photo ops and ceremonial swearings-in for most of the third of the Senate on the ballot this past November. But the celebratory mood was muted somewhat by the ongoing lapse in appropriations for about a quarter of discretionary spending that’s prompted a partial government shutdown now in its second week.

Health impacts of vaping clouded in controversy
Blake Gumprecht Las Cruces Sun-News Published 10:00 AM EDT Oct 26, 2018 Marlo Mac Flores, manager of South West Vape, a store that sells vaping products on Solano Drive, doesn’t want your business. Unless you already vape. Unless you’re a smoker trying to quit. Furthermore, if he thinks you’re under 18, he’ll check your ID on a scanner app on his phone and send you on your way if you’re not old enough. The Food and Drug Administration regulates vaping just like smoking and sales to people under 18 are prohibited. If you’ve never smoked or vaped, but want to try vaping, Flores will try to talk you out of it.
