More than [5,000 workers at 38 plants across 21 states walked off the job](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRm8JTAP0TsaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wOS8yMi9idXNpbmVzcy91YXctc3RyaWtlLWdlbmVyYWwtbW90b3JzLXN0ZWxsYW50aXMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIzMDkyMiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDM0NjAmbmw9dGhlLWV2ZW5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE0NTQ5MCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZPrADw5lF16Ax1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD), bringing the total number of striking U.A.W. workers to more than 18,000. The move came just a week after the U.A.W. launched its strike against all three of the major U.S. automakers. The union opted to expand its action, according to its president, Shawn Fain, because contract talks with the two companies had not progressed significantly. Fain added that the U.A.W. was not yet expanding its walkout against Ford Motor, which has done more to meet the union’s demands. By [targeting distribution centers](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRm8JTAP0TiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAyMy8wOS8xNS9idXNpbmVzcy91YXctc3RyaWtlLW1hcC5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjMwOTIyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEwMzQ2MCZubD10aGUtZXZlbmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTQ1NDkwJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpk-sAPDmUXXoDHUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~), which supply vehicle parts for repairs, the union is effectively taking its case to consumers. By making it more difficult or expensive to fix cars and trucks, the expanded strike could further pressure the automakers to make concessions. But it could also backfire on the union by frustrating car owners and turning them against the U.A.W. The union and the companies still say they are far apart on wage proposals, and it remains unclear how long a strike could continue. If the weeks of walkout stretch into months, it could becoming increasingly painful for the companies, the workers and, potentially, the U.S. economy. For now, the union is [paying striking workers $500 per week](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRm8JTAP0TjaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vYXJ0aWNsZS91YXctc3RyaWtlLWV4cGxhaW5lZC1mb3JkLXN0ZWxsYW50aXMtZ20uaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIzMDkyMiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDM0NjAmbmw9dGhlLWV2ZW5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE0NTQ5MCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZPrADw5lF16Ax1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD). ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRm8JTAP0TgaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wOS8yMi9ueXJlZ2lvbi9yb2JlcnQtbWVuZW5kZXotaW5kaWN0ZWQuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIzMDkyMiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDM0NjAmbmw9dGhlLWV2ZW5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE0NTQ5MCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZPrADw5lF16Ax1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD The charges against Senator Robert Menendez followed a lengthy investigation by prosecutors in New York.Kenny Holston/The New York Times Senator Robert Menendez was charged with accepting bribes Federal prosecutors today indicted Robert Menendez, the powerful Democratic senator of New Jersey, accusing him of [taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRm8JTAP0TgaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wOS8yMi9ueXJlZ2lvbi9yb2JlcnQtbWVuZW5kZXotaW5kaWN0ZWQuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIzMDkyMiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDM0NjAmbmw9dGhlLWV2ZW5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE0NTQ5MCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZPrADw5lF16Ax1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) — including gold bars — to use his position as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee to aid the government of Egypt and businessmen in New Jersey.

It also says he tried to influence the criminal investigation of a longtime fund-raiser for him, among other schemes. In exchange, the senator and his wife — Nadine Menendez, who was also charged — accepted cash, gold, payments toward a home mortgage, a luxury vehicle and other valuable things, the indictment said. The governor of New Jersey called on Menendez to resign. Menendez denied the accusations, blaming them on “forces behind the scenes,” but stepped down from his chairmanship of the Foreign Relations Committee. The indictment comes nearly six years after his trial on unrelated claims of corruption that ended with a hung jury. ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRm8JTAP0TqaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wOS8yMi91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9kYy1nb3Zlcm5tZW50LXNodXRkb3duLWNvbmdyZXNzLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyMzA5MjImaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTAzNDYwJm5sPXRoZS1ldmVuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNDU0OTAmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmT6wA8OZRdegMdSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~ Speaker Kevin McCarthy sent lawmakers home Thursday without a solution.Kenny Holston/The New York Times Washington braces for a government shutdown With government funding set to expire at the end of next week and no clear path in Congress for the passage of a spending measure, officials across Washington are rushing to make preparations to weather a shutdown that looks [more likely with each passing hour](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRm8JTAP0TqaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wOS8yMi91cy9wb2xpdGljcy9kYy1nb3Zlcm5tZW50LXNodXRkb3duLWNvbmdyZXNzLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyMzA5MjImaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTAzNDYwJm5sPXRoZS1ldmVuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNDU0OTAmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmT6wA8OZRdegMdSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~).
