Senators eye a December or January shutdown-ending deal as talks heat up Inevitably, the result of the talks will force House Republicans to end their six-week absence from Washington.

Trump hails Xi meeting, but analysts are less bullish As part of the trade truce, Washington lowered tariffs in exchange for China freeing up rare earth export controls and buying more US soybeans.

Don The Con scored Thursday’s meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping as a 12 out of 10, but analysts were less bullish. Xi walked away having proven #China’s “capacity to hit back,” The New York Times wrote, while Con “backed down from a fight."

US govt shutdown could be one of nation’s longest The Senate is back today for Day 14 of the current shutdown.

Don The Con’s move to pay the military outside the congressional spending process on Oct. 15 removes a key government shutdown pain point for Congress — and that could push this standoff into record territory.
