The political will to reopen the government is just not there. The two sides are locked in disagreement it seems.
Next up will be the Reps bill to reopen government, Dems will not vote for that.
Trump, meanwhile, is using National Guard deployment to direct the news cycle.
For those tracking the shut down, though, latest:
- Trump claims he is negotiating with Dems on health care
Dems say no he isn't:
- Schumer calls b/s on Trump's claim he is negotiating with Dems on health care
- We'll sit down any time, any place with anyone from your administration, including the president, to get a resolution here with respect to the Affordable Care Act tax credits
So far, no progress.
