Still No Deal for the Wall, But Trump Agreed to Reopen the Government for 3 Weeks


President Trump signed a bill to reopen the government for 3 weeks and says he may shut it down again or might use emergency powers if a deal is not reached on a border wall. Democrat Senator, Chuck Schumer, says, if Trump declares an emergency to build the wall, it will be challenged in court. 800,000 federal employees missed two paychecks during the shutdown but, eventually, will receive back pay so, for them, a shutdown is vacation with pay. -GEG
