Republicans rally with Trump as shutdown deepens | JQJO

In the shutdown’s fourth week, Senate Republicans head to the White House for a show of unity with President Donald Trump, refusing Democratic demands as Senate Democrats keep rejecting a House bill to reopen government without talks on expiring ACA subsidies. With both sides dug in, federal workers face more missed paychecks; WIC and Head Start risk funding cuts; the NNSA is furloughing 1,400 workers; and the FAA reports controller shortages and flight delays. Deadlines loom around Nov. 1 enrollment and Nov. 21 funding, while leaders signal no compromise.
