Tonight at 7PM, Pachios on the News sits down with Senator Angus King for an unfiltered conversation about the government shutdown — why he voted to end it, what he was hearing privately inside the Senate, and how Mainers were already feeling the impact.

SNAP, heating assistance, small-business loans, Head Start — thousands were getting squeezed with no real path to a deal. King breaks down the politics, the pressure, and why shutdowns have become more symbolism than solution.

Watch the full interview tonight at 7PM on Channel 5, Channel 2, YouTube, and streaming on PMCWatch.com plus all PMC Watch apps across Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, Google TV, and more.
