President Donald Trump closed the door Monday on a Republican proposal to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history as Congress appears no closer to crafting a compromise that lawmakers and the White House could accept.
Nation and World
Former Sen. Harry Reid doubled down Thursday on President Donald Trump, calling him a man with “no conscience” for his insistence to build a Southwest border wall and for shutting down the government over the demand.
President Donald Trump walked out of a White House meeting with Democratic leaders on Wednesday when they would not agree to fund his border wall — extending the government shutdown and making it likely hundreds of thousands of federal workers will go without a paycheck this week.
As President Donald Trump appealed to the public to support his request for border wall funding, the second-longest government shutdown ended its 18th day and left thousands of federal workers — including 3,500 in Nevada — worried about paychecks.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unveiled a bipartisan bill Tuesday that would expand background checks for gun sales — the first gun control bill in the new House and a top priority for Democrats, including those from Nevada who vividly remember the mass shooting on the Las Vegas Strip.
Museums and the National Zoo closed their doors Wednesday due to the government shutdown as congressional leaders and President Donald Trump squabbled over his demand for border wall funds and failed to find a compromise that could end the impasse.
