As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

He co-founded the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a> in 2019 to obtain and report on previously confidential police internal investigations. The effort produced well over 100 original stories and changed the course of multiple criminal cases.\r\n\r\nHis work has been recognized with numerous journalism awards, including a national Edward R. Murrow award for several years of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688481/sfpd-officers-in-mario-woods-case-recount-shooting-in-newly-filed-depositions\">reporting\u003c/a> on the San Francisco Police shooting of Mario Woods.

And the CDC warned, “The risk of becoming infected with the Japanese tapeworm parasite is most prevalent when consuming raw or undercooked fish, particularly in dishes such as sushi, sashimi and ceviche.” The CDC says the parasite and the larvae that are buried deep in salmon muscle can be destroyed when fish is adequately cooked or frozen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the infection remains uncommon in humans. Only about \u003ca href=\"https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/23/2/16-1026_article#suggestedcitation\">2,000 cases\u003c/a> have been reported in people — mostly in northeastern Asia, according to Roman Kuchta, the lead researcher on the study. (Pork and beef tapeworms, which are a different genus, are relatively more common in America, but the CDC still \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/taeniasis/gen_info/faqs.html\">estimates\u003c/a> there are less than 1,000 such cases a year in the U.S.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the time, this type of tapeworm leads to only \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/diphyllobothrium/faqs.html\">minor symptoms\u003c/a>, says the CDC. Often, people don’t even know they have it. But in exceptional cases the infection can cause complications including vitamin B12 deficiency, intestinal obstruction and gall bladder disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Treating the parasite is simple.

He reported no trips abroad and couldn’t recall drinking any questionable water.

And the CDC warned, “The risk of becoming infected with the Japanese tapeworm parasite is most prevalent when consuming raw or undercooked fish, particularly in dishes such as sushi, sashimi and ceviche.” The CDC says the parasite and the larvae that are buried deep in salmon muscle can be destroyed when fish is adequately cooked or frozen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the infection remains uncommon in humans. Only about \u003ca href=\"https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/23/2/16-1026_article#suggestedcitation\">2,000 cases\u003c/a> have been reported in people — mostly in northeastern Asia, according to Roman Kuchta, the lead researcher on the study. (Pork and beef tapeworms, which are a different genus, are relatively more common in America, but the CDC still \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/taeniasis/gen_info/faqs.html\">estimates\u003c/a> there are less than 1,000 such cases a year in the U.S.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the time, this type of tapeworm leads to only \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/diphyllobothrium/faqs.html\">minor symptoms\u003c/a>, says the CDC. Often, people don’t even know they have it. But in exceptional cases the infection can cause complications including vitamin B12 deficiency, intestinal obstruction and gall bladder disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Treating the parasite is simple. A single dose of de-worming medication — the exact same pill given to dogs — is all it takes to kill all the worms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, Banh says the man plans to lay off the sashimi.

Short also placed blame on Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We continue to remain anxious to reach a deal on DACA, and we look forward to resuming those negotiations as soon as the Senate Democrats reopen the government,\" Short said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of the House and Senate reconvened at the Capitol on Saturday to try to find a way to resolve the impasse. There was hope that lawmakers would quickly take up a patchwork resolution that is all of one week shorter than the measure that failed late Friday night in the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As it was in the days leading up to the shutdown, the gears of a political blame game kept rolling Saturday morning. Trump was tweeting at dawn, blaming Democrats for the lapse in government funding as the Senate failed to advance a four-week extension overnight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump accused Democrats of choosing \"unchecked illegal immigration\" over the military. Democrats say he has not kept his word to find a deal to protect immigrants who came to the country illegally as children and have been shielded from deportation by the DACA program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/954722155463430145\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has canceled plans to travel to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida over the weekend, where he was to attend a gala fundraiser Saturday to commemorate his inauguration one year ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney told reporters Saturday at the White House that the president's planned trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, next week may not happen if the shutdown lingers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The president will not be going to Florida now, and we're taking Davos both from the president's perspective and the Cabinet perspective on a day-by-day basis,\" Mulvaney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest shutdown is an unprecedented situation, given that most usually happen in times of divided government. This is the first time it has happened with the same party controlling both Congress and the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Saturday afternoon, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said it was the president's \"intransigence\" that led to the shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He's rejected not one, but two viable bipartisan deals,\" said Schumer, who had met with the president Friday in attempt to broker a deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What's even more frustrating than President Trump's intransigence is the way he seems amenable to these compromises before completely switching positions and backing off. Negotiating with President Trump is like negotiating with Jell-O,\" Schumer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The working proposal on the table, as outlined by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., early Saturday morning, is virtually the same stopgap resolution that the House passed but with a Feb. 8 expiration date instead of the original Feb. 16 date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, it does not have any substantive changes on immigration or long-term spending, which would be key to a longer resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Republicans had hoped to hold a procedural vote to move forward on Feb. 8 proposal later Saturday, but Senate Democrats have yet to yield back debate time. If Democrats do not, that vote cannot happen before very early Monday, per Senate rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the Capitol, House Republicans and Democrats met privately Saturday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House approved a \"same-day rule,\" 235-170, on Saturday night that will give House GOP leaders the flexibility to expedite another stopgap funding bill through Jan. 29, if, or when, a deal is made to reopen the government. The House is essentially in a waiting period to see what the Senate comes up with next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., speaking from the House floor Saturday sought to cast blame for the shutdown squarely on the shoulders of Democrats in the upper chamber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11643251\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/gettyimages-907237140capitol_slide-18f51c9fc87561d771789a33281023679ac72f22-e1516432596729.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/gettyimages-907237140capitol_slide-18f51c9fc87561d771789a33281023679ac72f22-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"The U.S. Capitol is seen as lawmakers worked to avert a government shutdown Friday in Washington, D.C.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11643251\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The U.S. Capitol is seen as lawmakers worked to avert a government shutdown Friday in Washington, D.C. \u003ccite>(Aaron P.

Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who leads the Senate Democrats' campaign strategy, told NPR's \u003cem>Weekend Edition\u003c/em> that Trump and Schumer had a productive meeting at the White House on Friday. But after that, Van Hollen said, \"the naysayers at the White House then got involved, and things went downhill from there,\" referring to immigration hard-liners in the administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because most government offices won't open again until Monday, there is time over the weekend for legislators to reach a compromise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three-week proposal before the Senate on Saturday has been championed by Sen.

The measure includes a six-year renewal of the popular Children’s Health Insurance Program and further delays of certain taxes under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is ostensibly Democratic support for all of those provisions, but the vast majority of Democrats oppose the stopgap because of the ongoing inability to reach a bipartisan immigration deal. Democrats are also withholding support for a longer-term spending deal until an immigration deal is clinched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This vote should be a no-brainer,” McConnell said Friday morning on the Senate floor. “And it would be, except the Democratic leader has convinced his members to filibuster any funding bill that doesn’t include legislation they are demanding for people who came into the United States illegally.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president has been an erratic negotiator in recent days, throwing already-contentious talks into disarray.

Kelly told Fox News that Trump was “flexible” on the wall, to which Trump later \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/953948941674078208\">tweeted\u003c/a>: “The Wall is the Wall, it has never changed or evolved from the first day I conceived of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11643013\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11643013\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/GettyImages-906702766-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"U.S. President Donald Trump waves as he walks towards the Oval Office after he returned to the White House January 17, 2018 in Washington, DC.

However, hundreds of thousands of federal workers would face furloughs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The military would still go to work, they will not get paid. The border will still be patrolled, they will not get paid,” said Mulvaney, the director of the Office of Management and Budget. “Folks will still be fighting the fires out West, they will not get paid.

The measure includes a six-year renewal of the popular Children’s Health Insurance Program and further delays of certain taxes under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is ostensibly Democratic support for all of those provisions, but the vast majority of Democrats oppose the stopgap because of the ongoing inability to reach a bipartisan immigration deal. Democrats are also withholding support for a longer-term spending deal until an immigration deal is clinched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This vote should be a no-brainer,” McConnell said Friday morning on the Senate floor. “And it would be, except the Democratic leader has convinced his members to filibuster any funding bill that doesn’t include legislation they are demanding for people who came into the United States illegally.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president has been an erratic negotiator in recent days, throwing already-contentious talks into disarray. After initially suggesting he would support any bipartisan proposal lawmakers could come up with, Trump rejected a proposal authored by Graham, a Republican, and Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., at the advice of more conservative lawmakers and his own top White House aides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump was also seemingly at odds with his own chief of staff, John Kelly, over the president’s continued support for building a physical barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border. Kelly told Fox News that Trump was “flexible” on the wall, to which Trump later \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/953948941674078208\">tweeted\u003c/a>: “The Wall is the Wall, it has never changed or evolved from the first day I conceived of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11643013\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11643013\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/GettyImages-906702766-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"U.S. President Donald Trump waves as he walks towards the Oval Office after he returned to the White House January 17, 2018 in Washington, DC.

However, hundreds of thousands of federal workers would face furloughs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The military would still go to work, they will not get paid. The border will still be patrolled, they will not get paid,” said Mulvaney, the director of the Office of Management and Budget. “Folks will still be fighting the fires out West, they will not get paid. Parks will be open, people won’t get paid.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All national security and military personnel deemed “essential” would continue to report to work, but they wouldn’t get paid. That includes active-duty U.S. troops, unless Congress passes separate legislation to make sure their paychecks go out. Lawmakers, however, face no such threat. Members of Congress continue to get paid in a government shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It costs more to shut down the government than to keep it running.

Towers shared with the class an excerpt from hers, about a time when she \"overlooked\" a young Latina intern she was supervising at work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Towers said she inadvertently did not introduce the intern at an event. Later, when the young woman confronted Towers about it, Towers realized that she probably \u003cem>would\u003c/em> have introduced a white intern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I didn't mean to inflict this on this young woman,\" said Towers, adding that the intern was offended by the incident and quit the position. \"But I was a product of all the things I had learned. I hadn't examined myself. And I did what I did because I really didn't value her as a person of color.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Towers was ashamed of that story and didn't talk about it for decades, she said. But understanding her behavior gave her the chance to change it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Get out your big flashlights and take a look at all the dark places,\" Towers told the group. \"Once they get lit up they're not nearly as scary.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James Taylor, a professor of politics at the University of San Francisco, credited White Awake for this kind of self-examination work. But he questioned how much of an impact white groups like this one can have in the larger context of systemic racism in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can show you 150 years of good white intention efforts, and we still have Donald Trump in the White House,\" Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When unarmed black men are still being shot by police, he said, an all-white reading group can seem more like a \"Band-Aid on a bullet wound.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You would need radical, almost revolutionary, transformation to bring about the kind of change that they're talking about,\" Taylor said. \"And you don't have the political will here. We don't agree around affirmative action. So, how are we going to get to reparations or other forms of big-idea reconciliations?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White Awake participants said they are aware their efforts are modest, and often deeply personal.

Dozens of women have graduated from the class, which Helmbold co-founded in 2015. \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The class was initially open to white people in general, but evolved to include only women, which many participants said helps them feel more comfortable and able to speak up about difficult topics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White Awake participants go through exercises such as writing a \"race autobiography\" to self-examine and help them figure out how they can become more effective fighters for racial justice. Towers shared with the class an excerpt from hers, about a time when she \"overlooked\" a young Latina intern she was supervising at work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Towers said she inadvertently did not introduce the intern at an event. Later, when the young woman confronted Towers about it, Towers realized that she probably \u003cem>would\u003c/em> have introduced a white intern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I didn't mean to inflict this on this young woman,\" said Towers, adding that the intern was offended by the incident and quit the position. \"But I was a product of all the things I had learned. I hadn't examined myself. And I did what I did because I really didn't value her as a person of color.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Towers was ashamed of that story and didn't talk about it for decades, she said. But understanding her behavior gave her the chance to change it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Get out your big flashlights and take a look at all the dark places,\" Towers told the group. \"Once they get lit up they're not nearly as scary.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James Taylor, a professor of politics at the University of San Francisco, credited White Awake for this kind of self-examination work. But he questioned how much of an impact white groups like this one can have in the larger context of systemic racism in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can show you 150 years of good white intention efforts, and we still have Donald Trump in the White House,\" Taylor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When unarmed black men are still being shot by police, he said, an all-white reading group can seem more like a \"Band-Aid on a bullet wound.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You would need radical, almost revolutionary, transformation to bring about the kind of change that they're talking about,\" Taylor said. \"And you don't have the political will here. We don't agree around affirmative action. So, how are we going to get to reparations or other forms of big-idea reconciliations?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White Awake participants said they are aware their efforts are modest, and often deeply personal.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 7:45 p.m. ET\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House passed a stop-gap funding bill Thursday evening, though the measure now faces uncertainty in the Senate as Republican congressional leaders work to avert a government shutdown by late Friday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Republicans need 60 votes in the Senate to proceed on the four-week continuing resolution, which would only extend funding until February 16. That is looking more and more difficult after most Democrats and at least three Republicans senators have said they won’t vote for the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure passed in the House, 230-197 with 11 Republicans voting against the bill and 6 Democrats voting for it, after House Freedom Caucus members reached a deal to vote for the bill. The group’s chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., had initially claimed enough of his members would withhold support that the bill would fail with GOP votes only, but about an hour before the vote was expected to begin Meadows told reporters he received enough concessions from House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., including plans for future votes on additional military funding, that he would recommend his caucus vote for the bill. And Thursday evening, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/freedomcaucus/status/954132162760069120\">the group said on Twitter\u003c/a> that a majority of its members has decided to support the stop-gap measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”O8QGZam90AaEjlzrDO1nzlidR9zEqyV5″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, however, want to include a fix for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA), set to expire in March, to protect the roughly 700,000 enrollees in the program who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. And House Democrats have indicated they won’t encourage their members to vote for the bill in order to bail out Republicans if the GOP falls short of the votes needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Senate Republicans have already said they won’t support the bill. Republicans only have a 51-49 advantage, with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., possibly unavailable due to medical issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who was one of the lawmakers pushing for a bipartisan immigration deal to go along with a funding bill, reiterated Thursday evening he would oppose any short-term measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am not going to support continuing this fiasco for 30 more days by voting for a continuing resolution,” Graham said. “It’s time Congress stop the cycle of dysfunction, grow up, and act consistent with the values of a great nation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of that, President Trump injected fresh confusion into tense negotiations to avert an impending shutdown with a Thursday morning tweet that indicated he opposed the measure the White House had previously signaled support for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“CHIP should be part of a long term solution, not a 30 Day, or short term, extension!” Trump tweeted Thursday morning. The House funding bill includes a six-year renewal of the popular Children’s Health Insurance Program, which GOP leaders included as a potential sweetener to get the votes they need to pass the stop-gap measure and to force Democrats to vote against the program they’re eager to reauthorize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/953984671674662912\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan downplayed the tweet to reporters Thursday morning. “I am sure where he stands. He fully supports passing this legislation,” Ryan countered, noting that he spoke to the president after the tweet was posted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s tweet also contradicted the White House’s already stated position in favor of the stop-gap bill. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement Thursday, White House spokesman Raj Shah said the president supports the House bill. “The President supports the continuing resolution introduced in the House. Congress needs to do its job and provide full funding of our troops and military with a two-year budget caps deal,” Shah said. “However, as the deal is negotiated, the President wants to ensure our military and national security are funded. He will not let it be held hostage by Democrats.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”ovNBjjUE1bp2FxNmzaxfbb2E9FV7eJV3″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Thursday morning that he anticipates the House will pass the funding bill, but its fate in the Senate is uncertain. Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, said he was “not sure what the president means” when asked on \u003cem>Fox & Friends \u003c/em>about the CHIP tweet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last-minute confusion over CHIP further complicated spending negotiations that were stalled when Trump rejected a bipartisan Senate immigration plan intended to pave the way for a long-term spending agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president also jabbed at Democrats in another tweet this morning over the stalled negotiations to reach a deal on spending limits for this fiscal year. “A government shutdown will be devastating to our military…something the Dems care very little about!” he tweeted. Democrats are resisting a spending deal agreement until a bipartisan immigration deal is clinched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The immigration talks fell apart last week after Trump rejected a plan proposed by Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Dick Durbin, D-Ill., to pair increased border security with new legal protections and a pathway to citizenship for the roughly 700,000 DACA participants who are in the country illegally after being brought here as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”RGt5BPA3IgWAkorMfTSyLkuOBjuKPMg3″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was during that meeting that Trump questioned why the U.S. would want more immigrants from “shithole countries” in Africa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also weighed in Thursday on Twitter on immigration, again demanding money for a wall along the southern border with Mexico. “We need the Wall for the safety and security of our country. We need the Wall to help stop the massive inflow of drugs from Mexico, now rated the number one most dangerous country in the world. If there is no Wall, there is no Deal!,” \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/953979393180950528\">Trump tweeted\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats say they will not accept any spending bill that funds the construction of a physical border wall but they have been willing to negotiate over money for increased technology and other forms of border security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/953979393180950528\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, a second group of negotiators, led by the second-ranking Republicans and Democrats in the House and the Senate, has stepped in to attempt to craft a new deal but the talks have been largely unsuccessful, according to several aides familiar with the talks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durbin is one of those negotiators, but he has indicated he will vote against the stop-gap funding measure in the Senate. A growing number of Senate Democrats see the vote on the funding bill as a leverage point to try and reach a deal on immigration, even if their opposition threatens a shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three centrist Democrats, Sen.

That is looking more and more difficult after most Democrats and at least three Republicans senators have said they won’t vote for the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure passed in the House, 230-197 with 11 Republicans voting against the bill and 6 Democrats voting for it, after House Freedom Caucus members reached a deal to vote for the bill. The group’s chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., had initially claimed enough of his members would withhold support that the bill would fail with GOP votes only, but about an hour before the vote was expected to begin Meadows told reporters he received enough concessions from House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., including plans for future votes on additional military funding, that he would recommend his caucus vote for the bill. And Thursday evening, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/freedomcaucus/status/954132162760069120\">the group said on Twitter\u003c/a> that a majority of its members has decided to support the stop-gap measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, however, want to include a fix for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA), set to expire in March, to protect the roughly 700,000 enrollees in the program who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children. And House Democrats have indicated they won’t encourage their members to vote for the bill in order to bail out Republicans if the GOP falls short of the votes needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

John McCain, R-Ariz., possibly unavailable due to medical issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who was one of the lawmakers pushing for a bipartisan immigration deal to go along with a funding bill, reiterated Thursday evening he would oppose any short-term measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am not going to support continuing this fiasco for 30 more days by voting for a continuing resolution,” Graham said. “It’s time Congress stop the cycle of dysfunction, grow up, and act consistent with the values of a great nation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of that, President Trump injected fresh confusion into tense negotiations to avert an impending shutdown with a Thursday morning tweet that indicated he opposed the measure the White House had previously signaled support for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“CHIP should be part of a long term solution, not a 30 Day, or short term, extension!” Trump tweeted Thursday morning. The House funding bill includes a six-year renewal of the popular Children’s Health Insurance Program, which GOP leaders included as a potential sweetener to get the votes they need to pass the stop-gap measure and to force Democrats to vote against the program they’re eager to reauthorize.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Congress needs to do its job and provide full funding of our troops and military with a two-year budget caps deal,” Shah said. “However, as the deal is negotiated, the President wants to ensure our military and national security are funded.

Democrats are resisting a spending deal agreement until a bipartisan immigration deal is clinched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The immigration talks fell apart last week after Trump rejected a plan proposed by Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Dick Durbin, D-Ill., to pair increased border security with new legal protections and a pathway to citizenship for the roughly 700,000 DACA participants who are in the country illegally after being brought here as children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was during that meeting that Trump questioned why the U.S. would want more immigrants from “shithole countries” in Africa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also weighed in Thursday on Twitter on immigration, again demanding money for a wall along the southern border with Mexico. “We need the Wall for the safety and security of our country. We need the Wall to help stop the massive inflow of drugs from Mexico, now rated the number one most dangerous country in the world. If there is no Wall, there is no Deal!,” \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/953979393180950528\">Trump tweeted\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats say they will not accept any spending bill that funds the construction of a physical border wall but they have been willing to negotiate over money for increased technology and other forms of border security.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
