His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 6:15 p.m. ET\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congress has passed a stopgap spending bill, sending the measure to President Trump's desk to end the partial shutdown of the federal government, now in its third day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House has indicated Trump will sign the bill in time for normal operations to resume by Tuesday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill passed the Senate on a 81-18 vote, but the real hurdle was the procedural vote earlier in the day requiring at least 60 votes. That's where the measure hit a snafu late Friday night, triggering the stalemate. The House later passed the 17-day extension by a 266-150 vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly before the Monday procedural vote was set to begin, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announced that he would vote to reopen the government along with enough Democrats needed to advance the bill. After 24 hours of furious negotiation over plans to consider immigration legislation in the coming weeks, the Senate voted to move forward with the continuing resolution, which would fund the government through Feb. 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In exchange for his support, Schumer said, he has received assurances from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., that if an agreement isn't reached by then, the GOP leader will bring a vote to the floor on legislation to grant legal status to those protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, roughly 700,000 immigrants who are in the country illegally after being brought here as children. The bill also extends the expired Children's Health Insurance Program for six years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell says Democrats caved because they realized holding out for a DACA deal tied to the funding deal was not wise politically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think if we've learned anything during this process it's that a strategy to shut down the government over the issue of illegal immigration is something that the American people didn't understand,\" McConnell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schumer, however, argued that blame for the weekend-long stalemate lay at the president's feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reason the Republican majority had such difficulty finding consensus is they could never get a firm grip on what the president of their party wanted to do. These days, you never know who to deal with when it comes to the Republicans,\" Schumer said. \"The Republican leaders told me to work out a deal with the White House. The White House said, work it out with Republican leaders on the Hill. Separately, President Trump turned away from not one, but two, bipartisan compromises. Each would have avoided this shutdown.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement later Monday, Trump said that with the government on the path to reopening, the administration would work on immigration legislation — but \"only if it's good for our country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am pleased that Democrats in Congress have come to their senses and are now willing to fund our great military, border patrol, first responders and insurance for vulnerable children,\" Trump said. \"As I've always said, once the government is funded, my administration will work towards solving the problem of very unfair illegal immigration. We will make a long-term deal on immigration if and only if it's good for our country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders dodged questions at the daily briefing as to whether that would include a path to citizenship for DACA recipients, which many hard-line conservatives oppose.

The bill also extends the expired Children's Health Insurance Program for six years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell says Democrats caved because they realized holding out for a DACA deal tied to the funding deal was not wise politically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think if we've learned anything during this process it's that a strategy to shut down the government over the issue of illegal immigration is something that the American people didn't understand,\" McConnell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schumer, however, argued that blame for the weekend-long stalemate lay at the president's feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reason the Republican majority had such difficulty finding consensus is they could never get a firm grip on what the president of their party wanted to do. These days, you never know who to deal with when it comes to the Republicans,\" Schumer said. \"The Republican leaders told me to work out a deal with the White House. The White House said, work it out with Republican leaders on the Hill. Separately, President Trump turned away from not one, but two, bipartisan compromises. Each would have avoided this shutdown.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement later Monday, Trump said that with the government on the path to reopening, the administration would work on immigration legislation — but \"only if it's good for our country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am pleased that Democrats in Congress have come to their senses and are now willing to fund our great military, border patrol, first responders and insurance for vulnerable children,\" Trump said. \"As I've always said, once the government is funded, my administration will work towards solving the problem of very unfair illegal immigration. We will make a long-term deal on immigration if and only if it's good for our country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders dodged questions at the daily briefing as to whether that would include a path to citizenship for DACA recipients, which many hard-line conservatives oppose. And she insisted that the president has been clear about what he wants in an immigration bill, despite shifting positions over the past week that even GOP leaders have complained about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the measure moving forward, it will now be hard for Democrats to argue they extracted many concessions from GOP leaders.

Whatever progress they made at the White House on Friday obviously didn't lead to a deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Democrats are not going to let anyone forget \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/859393829505552385\">when Trump tweeted last year\u003c/a>, \"Our country needs a good 'shutdown.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/859393829505552385\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's too early to tell who the public will decide is at fault, or if they'll even assign blame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were polls \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/more-blame-republicans-than-democrats-for-potential-government-shutdown-post-abc-poll-finds/2018/01/19/c4fce2f6-fd32-11e7-ad8c-ecbb62019393_story.html\">before the shutdown started \u003c/a>warning Republicans that they would shoulder the blame. And while the public broadly supports making DACA permanent, as Democrats are insisting on in current talks, pollsters also found that the public \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/19/politics/cnn-poll-shutdown-trump-immigration-daca/index.html\">thought avoiding a shutdown was more important\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is shared outrage about how broken the whole system is, so it's possible that means neither side will feel much of a consequence from this debacle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are other reasons, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First is the little room that exists for these public servants' public image to drop. Last week's \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/17/578422668/heres-just-how-little-confidence-americans-have-in-political-institutions\">NPR-PBS NewsHour-Marist poll showed\u003c/a> that just 36 percent of Americans have trust in the Democratic Party and 29 percent in the Republican Party. The only institution with a lower level of trust is the Congress itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, many of the current players, save the president himself, were in Washington for the last shutdown in 2013. It was viewed as driven by conservative Republicans, chiefly Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. And you know what happened after that? In addition to Republicans winning control of the Senate and expanding their House majority, Cruz became a grassroots hero. He built a large army of supporters and donors who helped him launch a presidential campaign in 2016 that outlasted almost every other GOP candidate who took on Donald Trump. [contextly_sidebar id=\"56tkhyzDXMQOyIX1VQ29WVTFHkkmX4Sg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OK, lesson learned. Shut it down?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this era of tribal politics, the focus is often on firing up the party faithful, far more than trying to win over voters in the middle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have been taking heat from their base, and particularly from immigration activists, for not pushing the DACA issue to the brink in December when government funding was last extended. In the final hours before this shutdown, Democratic lawmakers — including some thinking about a presidential run against Trump in 2020 — held a rally with so-called dreamers on Capitol Hill and then went inside to vote against funding the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among Republicans, the president's hard line on immigration appears to be spreading. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, often criticized as more concerned than anything with protecting that Senate majority, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/in-spending-fight-republicans-embrace-trumps-hard-line-stand-on-immigration/2018/01/19/9397be3a-fd3b-11e7-a46b-a3614530bd87_story.html\">has ratcheted up his tone recently\u003c/a>, as more in the party say Democrats are prioritizing people in the country illegally over American citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Republican base certainly doesn't want the president to give in and make a DACA deal with Democrats, there are signs that the Trump Administration may be worried about taking heat for a lasting shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before it took hold, Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said, \"We're going to manage the shutdown differently.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He briefed reporters Saturday on how operations such as the Environmental Protection Agency, mine safety, cyber security, trade negotiations and the government response to the flu outbreak were moving ahead with minimal disruption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Parks Service is also doing everything it can to avoid the images from the last shutdown of veterans locked out of the World War II memorial, or spoiled family vacations in Yosemite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may work, but that would only make this a more forgettable shutdown than we've seen in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's also different about this shutdown is that everything is more forgettable in the frenetic news cycle of the Trump era. We've already moved from arguments over the size of a nuclear button, to a false alarm about a nuclear attack on Hawaii; from #Oprah2020, to \"girthers\" questioning President Trump's height and weight. There's a porn star talking about an alleged affair with the chief executive, and the onward march of the #metoo movement. And that's just the first three weeks of 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month's worth of news feels like a full year. So by that measure, we've got about a decade to get through before the midterm elections — before any real political consequences could be felt from the shutdown. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

And while the public broadly supports making DACA permanent, as Democrats are insisting on in current talks, pollsters also found that the public \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/19/politics/cnn-poll-shutdown-trump-immigration-daca/index.html\">thought avoiding a shutdown was more important\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is shared outrage about how broken the whole system is, so it's possible that means neither side will feel much of a consequence from this debacle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are other reasons, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First is the little room that exists for these public servants' public image to drop. Last week's \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/17/578422668/heres-just-how-little-confidence-americans-have-in-political-institutions\">NPR-PBS NewsHour-Marist poll showed\u003c/a> that just 36 percent of Americans have trust in the Democratic Party and 29 percent in the Republican Party. The only institution with a lower level of trust is the Congress itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, many of the current players, save the president himself, were in Washington for the last shutdown in 2013. It was viewed as driven by conservative Republicans, chiefly Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. And you know what happened after that? In addition to Republicans winning control of the Senate and expanding their House majority, Cruz became a grassroots hero. He built a large army of supporters and donors who helped him launch a presidential campaign in 2016 that outlasted almost every other GOP candidate who took on Donald Trump. \u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OK, lesson learned. Shut it down?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this era of tribal politics, the focus is often on firing up the party faithful, far more than trying to win over voters in the middle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have been taking heat from their base, and particularly from immigration activists, for not pushing the DACA issue to the brink in December when government funding was last extended. In the final hours before this shutdown, Democratic lawmakers — including some thinking about a presidential run against Trump in 2020 — held a rally with so-called dreamers on Capitol Hill and then went inside to vote against funding the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among Republicans, the president's hard line on immigration appears to be spreading. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, often criticized as more concerned than anything with protecting that Senate majority, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/in-spending-fight-republicans-embrace-trumps-hard-line-stand-on-immigration/2018/01/19/9397be3a-fd3b-11e7-a46b-a3614530bd87_story.html\">has ratcheted up his tone recently\u003c/a>, as more in the party say Democrats are prioritizing people in the country illegally over American citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Republican base certainly doesn't want the president to give in and make a DACA deal with Democrats, there are signs that the Trump Administration may be worried about taking heat for a lasting shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before it took hold, Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said, \"We're going to manage the shutdown differently.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He briefed reporters Saturday on how operations such as the Environmental Protection Agency, mine safety, cyber security, trade negotiations and the government response to the flu outbreak were moving ahead with minimal disruption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Parks Service is also doing everything it can to avoid the images from the last shutdown of veterans locked out of the World War II memorial, or spoiled family vacations in Yosemite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may work, but that would only make this a more forgettable shutdown than we've seen in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's also different about this shutdown is that everything is more forgettable in the frenetic news cycle of the Trump era. We've already moved from arguments over the size of a nuclear button, to a false alarm about a nuclear attack on Hawaii; from #Oprah2020, to \"girthers\" questioning President Trump's height and weight. There's a porn star talking about an alleged affair with the chief executive, and the onward march of the #metoo movement. And that's just the first three weeks of 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell took to the floor Sunday evening and laid out a plan to restore government funding for three weeks and consider immigration proposals, while bipartisan talks continue to end the impasse that has triggered a partial government shutdown since Friday night. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer objected to a vote on Sunday evening, but not the plan to vote on Monday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I am happy to continue my discussion with the majority leader about reopening the government,\" Schumer said. \"We've had several conversations. Talks will continue, but we have yet to reach an agreement on a path forward that would be acceptable to both sides.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A vote was originally scheduled for 1 a.m. ET, but instead the Senate adjourned until 10 a.m. Monday morning. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell said that, if the impasse ends, \"It would be my intention to proceed to legislation that would address DACA, border security, and related issues.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bipartisan group of roughly 20 senators said earlier they were nearing an agreement to pass a spending bill to reopen the government in exchange for plans to begin work on immigration legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group emerged from a closed door meeting Sunday prepared to brief leaders on the outlines of a plan that would allow both sides to back down from their increasingly entrenched positions and vote to reopen the government. Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., said the agreement would require the Senate to quickly begin debate a wide range of immigration proposals with hopes of passing a bill in the coming weeks. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was a larger conversation about having the Senate actually function again,\" Coons said. \"And how important it would be to have a full, wide open debate on the different proposals that Democrats and Republicans have on how to deal with border security and how to deal with DACA.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another negotiator in the room, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., predicted that \"there will be a breakthrough tonight.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The positive tone was a distinct departure from the hostile rhetoric elsewhere in the Senate earlier on Sunday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number two Republican in the Senate, John Cornyn of Texas, said in a floor speech that Democrats had \"shot themselves in the foot, reloaded, and shot themselves in the other foot.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats accused Republicans of pitting \"innocent kids against innocent kids,\" as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. said Sunday. Republicans have offered a six year funding extension of the popular Children's Health Insurance Program as part of their funding proposal. CHIP expired last fall. But Democrats also want action on the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which granted legal status to people who were brought to the country illegally as children. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several of the negotiators at the Sunday afternoon meeting said they believed their plan would demonstrate to leaders that there is a path forward. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said the plan was to help leadership, not circumvent them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are trying to be helpful in showing them there is a path forward,\" Collins said. \"A substantial number of Senators from both parties are eager to find that path.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such an agreement would allow both sides to vote to reopen the government without backing down from their demands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans have continued to reiterate that they will not negotiate on immigration and DACA while the government is shut down. And Democrats say a spending deal would also have to protect the immigrants who have been shielded from deportation by the DACA program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we're facing right now is Democrats taking an absolutely implausible position that says we're going to deny funding to two million troops who are serving our country, tens of thousands of border patrol agents trying to protect our country, over an issue that's not even in this bill,\" said Marc Short, White House director of legislative affairs, on ABC's \"This Week\" on Sunday. \"That is an impossible position on which to negotiate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump began his day Sunday by suggesting the Senate should get rid of the requirement the 60 vote threshold for advancing legislation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Great to see how hard Republicans are fighting for our Military and Safety at the Border. The Dems just want illegal immigrants to pour into our nation unchecked,\" Trump \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/955056249925750784\">tweeted before\u003c/a> 8 a.m. on Sunday. \"If stalemate continues, Republicans should go to 51% (Nuclear Option) and vote on real, long term budget, no C.R.'s!\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump was acknowledging the fact that a government spending bill would need 60 votes to pass the Senate, which would require at least nine Democrats to vote in favor of it. Republicans could theoretically \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/04/03/522225063/the-senate-could-go-nuclear-this-week-what-does-that-mean\">vote to change \u003c/a>its rules to require just a simple 51-vote majority to pass a spending bill, as they did to get Neil Gorsuch confirmed to the Supreme Court, but lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have long voiced opposition to such an option.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That would be the end of the Senate as it was originally devised and created going back to our founding fathers,\" said Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., on \"This Week\" on Sunday. \"We have to acknowledge a respect for the minority, and that is what the Senate tries to do in its composition and its procedure.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the midst of the stalemate, President Trump's re-election campaign released \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-nm0vQwO5c\">an ad\u003c/a> declaring that \"Democrats who stand in our way will be complicit in every murder committed by illegal immigrants,\" a stance that did little to improve the negotiating climate. Short defended the ad on Sunday, saying \"the reality is that there are safety concerns for our country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, however, looked surprised after being shown the ad by John Dickerson on CBS' \"Face The Nation\" and said, \"I don't know if that's necessarily productive, but it's no secret the president has strong views on immigration.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., accused the president of essentially acting in bad faith after the two met one-on-one at the White House on Friday.\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 Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some congressional Republicans have been open to negotiating on just a DACA solution, while others, like President Trump, want it tied to increased border security efforts, like building a wall on the southern border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want to move from a system based on family relations to one based on skills and merit for what the economy needs — perfectly common sense,\" said House Speaker Ryan on Sunday. \"Here's the issue, if we simply did DACA without incumbent reforms then we'd have a DACA problem five years down the road. We want to fix the problem and the root cause of the problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats say Schumer offered border security compromises in his meeting on Friday with the president, including potential funding for the wall, which Trump seemed initially receptive to. The White House then called just hours later, Democrats say, to kill the negotiations. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remaining in D.C. because of the shutdown, Trump has had no public appearances or interviews although the White House said he had spoken with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. and Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Tex. and was consulting with Cabinet members about the impact of the shutdown on government agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the House, Republicans approved a procedural measure that will allow GOP leaders to speedily bring a new stopgap measure to the floor if a new spending agreement is reached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR congressional correspondent Susan Davis contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR.

Republicans could theoretically \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/04/03/522225063/the-senate-could-go-nuclear-this-week-what-does-that-mean\">vote to change \u003c/a>its rules to require just a simple 51-vote majority to pass a spending bill, as they did to get Neil Gorsuch confirmed to the Supreme Court, but lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have long voiced opposition to such an option.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That would be the end of the Senate as it was originally devised and created going back to our founding fathers,\" said Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., on \"This Week\" on Sunday. \"We have to acknowledge a respect for the minority, and that is what the Senate tries to do in its composition and its procedure.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the midst of the stalemate, President Trump's re-election campaign released \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-nm0vQwO5c\">an ad\u003c/a> declaring that \"Democrats who stand in our way will be complicit in every murder committed by illegal immigrants,\" a stance that did little to improve the negotiating climate. Short defended the ad on Sunday, saying \"the reality is that there are safety concerns for our country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, however, looked surprised after being shown the ad by John Dickerson on CBS' \"Face The Nation\" and said, \"I don't know if that's necessarily productive, but it's no secret the president has strong views on immigration.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., accused the president of essentially acting in bad faith after the two met one-on-one at the White House on Friday.\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 Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some congressional Republicans have been open to negotiating on just a DACA solution, while others, like President Trump, want it tied to increased border security efforts, like building a wall on the southern border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want to move from a system based on family relations to one based on skills and merit for what the economy needs — perfectly common sense,\" said House Speaker Ryan on Sunday. \"Here's the issue, if we simply did DACA without incumbent reforms then we'd have a DACA problem five years down the road. We want to fix the problem and the root cause of the problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats say Schumer offered border security compromises in his meeting on Friday with the president, including potential funding for the wall, which Trump seemed initially receptive to. The White House then called just hours later, Democrats say, to kill the negotiations. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remaining in D.C. because of the shutdown, Trump has had no public appearances or interviews although the White House said he had spoken with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. and Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Tex. and was consulting with Cabinet members about the impact of the shutdown on government agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the House, Republicans approved a procedural measure that will allow GOP leaders to speedily bring a new stopgap measure to the floor if a new spending agreement is reached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR congressional correspondent Susan Davis contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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.

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. Bernstein/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"At this hour, the federal government is needlessly shutdown because of Senate Democrats,\" Ryan said. \"One party, in one house of this Congress, is deliberately holding our government hostage. This did not need to happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Democrats want to have deals \"in principle\" outlined on immigration and on other items in order to get a deal to end the shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that Trump needs to engage and that \"it's no use having another CR (continuing resolution or short-term funding package) unless we have the terms of engagement\" moving forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi accused Republicans of \"using the kids as an excuse\" not to pass a domestic agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That is the heart of the matter,\" Pelosi said. \"That is the reason they are using DACA as an excuse, they're using kids as an excuse, they're using CHIP as an excuse.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House bill included an extension of the popular Children's Health Insurance Program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early Saturday morning, Trump accused Democrats of playing \"Shutdown politics.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/954674157144477696\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. 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. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., since Friday evening. Graham had opposed the longer measure for four weeks of funding, which passed in the House on Thursday but failed in the Senate early Saturday morning, just after the shutdown took effect. Throughout the evening Friday, Graham's proposal for a shorter time frame of stopgap funding seemed to be picking up steam with senators as the chamber failed to pass the House measure or to reach any larger deal on a number of issues that have been under consideration relating to spending levels, immigration and border security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the shutdown took effect, Senate leaders were still talking on the floor after a procedural vote late Friday lacked the 60 yes votes needed to advance the House's four-week funding bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around 12:15 a.m. ET, McConnell voted no on the House measure, doing so for procedural reasons that allowed him to preserve the ability to bring up a substitute bill later. The final vote was 50-49, with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., absent from the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The apparent congressional paralysis risked overshadowing the first anniversary of Trump's inauguration and capped off a year defined at times by chaos and frustration from both the White House and congressional Republicans despite their unified control of Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it comes after days of hurried negotiations to find a compromise failed, leading to finger-pointing from both parties eager to shift the blame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans and McConnell had been angling for a four-week continuing resolution that included extending CHIP for six years in an effort to entice Democrats to vote for the insurance program they want to fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Democrats, led by Schumer, pushed to include an immigration measure that would include a pathway to citizenship for roughly 700,000 immigrants enrolled in the DACA program the Trump administration rescinded last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans blamed Democrats for angling for the DACA legislative fix over keeping the government open, using the hashtag #SchumerShutdown and launching an accompanying website focused on Schumer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly before midnight, the White House released a statement blasting Democrats as \"obstructionist losers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Senate Democrats own the Schumer Shutdown. Tonight, they put politics above our national security, military families, vulnerable children, and our country's ability to serve all Americans. We will not negotiate the status of unlawful immigrants while Democrats hold our lawful citizens hostage over their reckless demands. This is the behavior of obstructionist losers, not legislators,\" White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just after midnight, McConnell took the Senate floor to fault Democrats for not backing the House bill and averting a shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we have just witnessed on the floor was a cynical decision to shove aside millions of Americans for the sake of irresponsible political gains,\" the GOP leader said. \"A government shutdown was 100 percent avoidable, completely avoidable. Now it is imminent all because Senate Democrats chose to filibuster a noncontroversial funding bill that contains nothing — not a thing — that they do not support.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the hashtag #TrumpShutdown was also trending on Twitter late Friday night, and Democrats believe that it's Republicans who will end up shouldering the majority of blame from the public given that the GOP controls both Congress and the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump appeared to complicate efforts to reach a compromise over the past weeks, at first signaling he would sign any immigration deal but then rejecting a bipartisan proposal, bending to his conservative, hard-line base and insisting any deal had to have funding for his trademark border wall. Negotiations further stalled after Trump reportedly used a vulgarity in questioning why the U.S. should welcome immigrants from Africa instead of from places like Norway. (Trump has denied that he used that language.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schumer took to the Senate floor immediately after McConnell early Saturday and said that when he met with Trump at the White House on Friday, he had put the border wall on the negotiating table in order to reach a compromise on DACA. But \"even that was not enough to entice the president to finish the deal,\" Schumer said, accusing Trump and Republicans of \"rooting for a shutdown,\" which he said would \"crash entirely\" on the president's shoulders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What happened to the president who asked us to come out with a deal and promised he'd take heat for it? What happened to that president? He backed off at the first sign of pressure,\" Schumer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polling released Friday from both \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/page/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2018/01/19/National-Politics/Polling/release_506.xml?tid=a_mcntx\">Washington Post/ABC News\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/19/politics/cnn-poll-shutdown-trump-immigration-daca/index.html\">CNN\u003c/a> found that most Americans would blame Trump and Republicans over Democrats in the event a shutdown occurred. However, CNN also found a majority said approving a budget deal was more important than finding a way to advance DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/19/578985305/open-or-closed-heres-what-happens-in-a-partial-government-shutdown\">NPR's Brian Naylor reported\u003c/a>, if the shutdown continues, essential services will continue and essential workers would remain on the job, though they would be unpaid. Active-duty military will stay in service, along with post offices. In a change from the last time the government shut down in October 2013, the Interior Department announced it will work to keep national parks open and \"as accessible as possible.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 NPR.

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. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., since Friday evening. Graham had opposed the longer measure for four weeks of funding, which passed in the House on Thursday but failed in the Senate early Saturday morning, just after the shutdown took effect. Throughout the evening Friday, Graham's proposal for a shorter time frame of stopgap funding seemed to be picking up steam with senators as the chamber failed to pass the House measure or to reach any larger deal on a number of issues that have been under consideration relating to spending levels, immigration and border security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the shutdown took effect, Senate leaders were still talking on the floor after a procedural vote late Friday lacked the 60 yes votes needed to advance the House's four-week funding bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around 12:15 a.m. ET, McConnell voted no on the House measure, doing so for procedural reasons that allowed him to preserve the ability to bring up a substitute bill later. The final vote was 50-49, with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., absent from the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The apparent congressional paralysis risked overshadowing the first anniversary of Trump's inauguration and capped off a year defined at times by chaos and frustration from both the White House and congressional Republicans despite their unified control of Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it comes after days of hurried negotiations to find a compromise failed, leading to finger-pointing from both parties eager to shift the blame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans and McConnell had been angling for a four-week continuing resolution that included extending CHIP for six years in an effort to entice Democrats to vote for the insurance program they want to fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Democrats, led by Schumer, pushed to include an immigration measure that would include a pathway to citizenship for roughly 700,000 immigrants enrolled in the DACA program the Trump administration rescinded last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans blamed Democrats for angling for the DACA legislative fix over keeping the government open, using the hashtag #SchumerShutdown and launching an accompanying website focused on Schumer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly before midnight, the White House released a statement blasting Democrats as \"obstructionist losers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Senate Democrats own the Schumer Shutdown. Tonight, they put politics above our national security, military families, vulnerable children, and our country's ability to serve all Americans. We will not negotiate the status of unlawful immigrants while Democrats hold our lawful citizens hostage over their reckless demands. This is the behavior of obstructionist losers, not legislators,\" White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just after midnight, McConnell took the Senate floor to fault Democrats for not backing the House bill and averting a shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we have just witnessed on the floor was a cynical decision to shove aside millions of Americans for the sake of irresponsible political gains,\" the GOP leader said. \"A government shutdown was 100 percent avoidable, completely avoidable. Now it is imminent all because Senate Democrats chose to filibuster a noncontroversial funding bill that contains nothing — not a thing — that they do not support.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the hashtag #TrumpShutdown was also trending on Twitter late Friday night, and Democrats believe that it's Republicans who will end up shouldering the majority of blame from the public given that the GOP controls both Congress and the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump appeared to complicate efforts to reach a compromise over the past weeks, at first signaling he would sign any immigration deal but then rejecting a bipartisan proposal, bending to his conservative, hard-line base and insisting any deal had to have funding for his trademark border wall. Negotiations further stalled after Trump reportedly used a vulgarity in questioning why the U.S. should welcome immigrants from Africa instead of from places like Norway. (Trump has denied that he used that language.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schumer took to the Senate floor immediately after McConnell early Saturday and said that when he met with Trump at the White House on Friday, he had put the border wall on the negotiating table in order to reach a compromise on DACA. But \"even that was not enough to entice the president to finish the deal,\" Schumer said, accusing Trump and Republicans of \"rooting for a shutdown,\" which he said would \"crash entirely\" on the president's shoulders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What happened to the president who asked us to come out with a deal and promised he'd take heat for it? What happened to that president? He backed off at the first sign of pressure,\" Schumer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polling released Friday from both \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/page/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2018/01/19/National-Politics/Polling/release_506.xml?tid=a_mcntx\">Washington Post/ABC News\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/19/politics/cnn-poll-shutdown-trump-immigration-daca/index.html\">CNN\u003c/a> found that most Americans would blame Trump and Republicans over Democrats in the event a shutdown occurred. However, CNN also found a majority said approving a budget deal was more important than finding a way to advance DACA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/19/578985305/open-or-closed-heres-what-happens-in-a-partial-government-shutdown\">NPR's Brian Naylor reported\u003c/a>, if the shutdown continues, essential services will continue and essential workers would remain on the job, though they would be unpaid. Active-duty military will stay in service, along with post offices. In a change from the last time the government shut down in October 2013, the Interior Department announced it will work to keep national parks open and \"as accessible as possible.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We made some progress, but we still have a good number of disagreements. The discussions will continue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hours later, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/954478044487520257\">Trump tweeted\u003c/a> a much rosier view about the state of the negotiations, endorsing the four-week extension as the best outcome and declaring that he, Schumer and the top Republicans in the House and the Senate were “making progress.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/954478044487520257\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the meeting, a senior administration official clarified that a five-day continuing resolution, which some lawmakers had floated, would be a “nonstarter” from the White House’s perspective. Schumer has \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/government-shutdown-likelihood-grows-amid-senate-standoff-n839301\">reportedly proposed\u003c/a> a four- or five-day stopgap measure, a proposal that the White House appeared to be expressing disapproval of with its clarification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The meeting took place less than 12 hours before the midnight deadline for Congress to pass a new spending bill. Democrats and Republicans remain deadlocked without a path forward, even as both sides face potentially dramatic political fallout if a shutdown does occur.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans stepped up their attacks on Democrats in the hours leading up to the White House meeting, blaming them for forcing the standoff. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., accused Democrats of using immigration as a bargaining chip in the fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”VoZykVzVKsi3BDWalhDBiT4hAmh17iuj”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Senate is now just hours away from an entirely avoidable government shutdown,” McConnell said Friday morning on the Senate floor. “The craziness of this seems to be dawning on my friend, the Democratic leader.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Democrats insist they will not vote for a stopgap measure without an agreement for long-term increases in military and domestic spending and a pathway to citizenship for roughly 700,000 immigrants. Those are individuals who are in the country illegally after being brought here as children and are enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program established by the Obama administration. Those protections from deportation are set to begin expiring in March after the Trump administration announced it was rescinding DACA last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Government Funding Bill past last night in the House of Representatives. Now Democrats are needed if it is to pass in the Senate – but they want illegal immigration and weak borders. Shutdown coming? We need more Republican victories in 2018!” \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/954323750949982208\">Trump tweeted at 7:04 a.m. ET.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats launched into a last-minute flurry of talks late Thursday after a House vote to approve a short-term spending bill to keep the government open until Feb. 16 and fund the popular Children’s Health Insurance Program, or CHIP, for six years. Schumer and McConnell say they want to avoid a shutdown, but both leaders have become increasingly insistent that they are unwilling to compromise on their demands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell and other Republicans say they have more than a month to agree to an immigration package before DACA is set to expire. They are calling on Democrats to back the short-term bill in order to give them more time to negotiate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans are already dubbing it the “\u003ca href=\"https://www.schumershutdown.com/\">Schumer Shutdown\u003c/a>.” The minority leader has warned Republicans that they will not have enough Democratic votes to break the 60-vote filibuster threshold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin, W.Va.; Joe Donnelly, Ind.; and Heidi Heitkamp, N.D. — all three in competitive re-election races from states that Trump won — indicated they would vote for the bill. But McConnell still needs more Democrats than that to cross over in order to get to the 60 votes he needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it is unlikely that McConnell even has a simple majority of Republicans to support a House-passed stopgap measure to keep the government running until Feb. 16. Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona have indicated they will oppose it, and at least two other GOP senators remain undecided.\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 Thursday. “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>[contextly_sidebar id=”woy64ndP7n8t5cmTu0g4x2o0atnxGviR”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate convened Friday morning, but lawmakers and aides said there is no consensus on how to head off the impending midnight partial government shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who runs Senate Democrats’ 2018 campaign operation, told NPR’s \u003cem>Morning Edition \u003c/em>that Democrats would support a stopgap measure for three to four days to keep the government running and give negotiators more time to clinch deals in stalled immigration and budget talks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not voting for a government shutdown. I’m voting to get an agreement to move forward,” Van Hollen said. “Let’s stay in. Let’s get it done.” The White House and Senate GOP leaders have not indicated whether they would accept that offer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Van Hollen also said Trump, not the Democrats, will shoulder the blame if a shutdown occurs. “If the president of the United States, whether by design or incompetence is going to shut down the government, that is a big problem,” Van Hollen said. “I hope he will show some leadership; he says he’s the great negotiator.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New data seem to agree.

The rest of the participants either blamed both equally or had no opinion. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/19/politics/cnn-poll-shutdown-trump-immigration-daca/index.html\">CNN poll\u003c/a> found similar numbers blaming the president and Republicans in Congress over Democrats, though 56 percent said approving a budget deal was more important than a DACA deal, while just over a third said they wanted an immigration compromise included.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/579074218/579081728\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shutdowns are usually the product of divided government.

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.

Schumer has \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/government-shutdown-likelihood-grows-amid-senate-standoff-n839301\">reportedly proposed\u003c/a> a four- or five-day stopgap measure, a proposal that the White House appeared to be expressing disapproval of with its clarification.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The meeting took place less than 12 hours before the midnight deadline for Congress to pass a new spending bill. Democrats and Republicans remain deadlocked without a path forward, even as both sides face potentially dramatic political fallout if a shutdown does occur.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans stepped up their attacks on Democrats in the hours leading up to the White House meeting, blaming them for forcing the standoff. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., accused Democrats of using immigration as a bargaining chip in the fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Senate is now just hours away from an entirely avoidable government shutdown,” McConnell said Friday morning on the Senate floor. “The craziness of this seems to be dawning on my friend, the Democratic leader.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Democrats insist they will not vote for a stopgap measure without an agreement for long-term increases in military and domestic spending and a pathway to citizenship for roughly 700,000 immigrants. Those are individuals who are in the country illegally after being brought here as children and are enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program established by the Obama administration. Those protections from deportation are set to begin expiring in March after the Trump administration announced it was rescinding DACA last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Government Funding Bill past last night in the House of Representatives. Now Democrats are needed if it is to pass in the Senate – but they want illegal immigration and weak borders. Shutdown coming? We need more Republican victories in 2018!” \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/954323750949982208\">Trump tweeted at 7:04 a.m. ET.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats launched into a last-minute flurry of talks late Thursday after a House vote to approve a short-term spending bill to keep the government open until Feb. 16 and fund the popular Children’s Health Insurance Program, or CHIP, for six years. Schumer and McConnell say they want to avoid a shutdown, but both leaders have become increasingly insistent that they are unwilling to compromise on their demands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell and other Republicans say they have more than a month to agree to an immigration package before DACA is set to expire. They are calling on Democrats to back the short-term bill in order to give them more time to negotiate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans are already dubbing it the “\u003ca href=\"https://www.schumershutdown.com/\">Schumer Shutdown\u003c/a>.” The minority leader has warned Republicans that they will not have enough Democratic votes to break the 60-vote filibuster threshold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin, W.Va.; Joe Donnelly, Ind.; and Heidi Heitkamp, N.D. — all three in competitive re-election races from states that Trump won — indicated they would vote for the bill. But McConnell still needs more Democrats than that to cross over in order to get to the 60 votes he needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it is unlikely that McConnell even has a simple majority of Republicans to support a House-passed stopgap measure to keep the government running until Feb. 16. Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona have indicated they will oppose it, and at least two other GOP senators remain undecided.\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 Thursday. “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>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate convened Friday morning, but lawmakers and aides said there is no consensus on how to head off the impending midnight partial government shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who runs Senate Democrats’ 2018 campaign operation, told NPR’s \u003cem>Morning Edition \u003c/em>that Democrats would support a stopgap measure for three to four days to keep the government running and give negotiators more time to clinch deals in stalled immigration and budget talks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not voting for a government shutdown. I’m voting to get an agreement to move forward,” Van Hollen said. “Let’s stay in. Let’s get it done.” The White House and Senate GOP leaders have not indicated whether they would accept that offer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Van Hollen also said Trump, not the Democrats, will shoulder the blame if a shutdown occurs. “If the president of the United States, whether by design or incompetence is going to shut down the government, that is a big problem,” Van Hollen said. “I hope he will show some leadership; he says he’s the great negotiator.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New data seem to agree. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/page/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2018/01/19/National-Politics/Polling/release_506.xml?tid=a_mcntx\">Washington Post-ABC News poll\u003c/a> out Friday found that 48 percent of Americans would blame Trump and Republicans for a shutdown, compared with 28 percent who would blame Democrats. The rest of the participants either blamed both equally or had no opinion. A \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/19/politics/cnn-poll-shutdown-trump-immigration-daca/index.html\">CNN poll\u003c/a> found similar numbers blaming the president and Republicans in Congress over Democrats, though 56 percent said approving a budget deal was more important than a DACA deal, while just over a third said they wanted an immigration compromise included.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/579074218/579081728\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shutdowns are usually the product of divided government. A midnight shutdown would be the first time one occurred when the same party controlled both chambers of Congress and the White House.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the Trump White House is working hard to shift blame back to the Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no way you could lay this at the feet of the president of the United States,” said Mick Mulvaney, director of the Office of Management and Budget, in a press conference on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reality is Republicans are united in keeping the government open. Democrats are united in trying to shut it down,” White House Legislative Affairs Director Marc Short \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/19/579076336/clock-ticks-down-toward-a-midnight-government-shutdown\">told NPR’s \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Short downplayed the merits of an even shorter stopgap, arguing that negotiators need more time to reach an immigration deal to determine the fate of the hundreds of thousands of people in the DACA program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we’re making progress on DACA, but I think it’s unrealistic to think there’s going to be a solution in the next five days,” Short said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans have also sought to call attention to what they see as hypocrisy from the Democratic leadership, who loudly criticized Republicans in 2013 when the government last shut down, over Affordable Care Act disagreements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/18/578838003/trump-tweet-scrambles-efforts-efforts-to-avert-a-government-shutdown\">passed the four-week stopgap on Thursday\u003c/a>, 230-197, with just six Democrats voting with Republicans. 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.

As KQED's Scott Detrow \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/10/11/Yosemite-shutdown-hits-Tuolumne-County-hard\" target=\"_blank\">reported last week\u003c/a>, the county has been hit by twin disasters in the past couple of months -- the Rim Fire that shut down the late summer tourist season in much of the Yosemite region and the government shutdown. The Coalition of Park Service Retirees \u003ca href=\"http://www.npsretirees.org/issues-in-depth/shutdown/243-day-10.html\" target=\"_blank\">released a study \u003c/a>last week that estimated the costs associated with shutting down the national parks. The report estimated that Yosemite lost about 107,000 visitors and about $10 million in the first 10 days of the shutdown and that the closure threatened 1,000 Park Service jobs and 4,600 other jobs in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Facilities and services reopened\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Yosemite National Park reopens to park visitors tonight, October 16, 2013. Visitors can access public areas and roads immediately while facilities and other public services are brought back on-line. Yosemite National Park has been closed since October 1, 2013 due to the government shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are excited to reopen and welcome visitors back to Yosemite,\" stated park superintendent Don Neubacher. \"Autumn is a particularly special season to enjoy Yosemite’s colorful grandeur.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Major highways and roads leading into and through Yosemite National Park, including the Glacier Point and Mariposa Grove roads, are open to vehicles. Park visitor centers will reopen and Ranger-led programs will resume on October 17.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Visitors are urged to consult the Yosemite Guide for a list of programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valley campgrounds in Yosemite will reopen on October 17. Those with reservations will be able to check in by noon. First come, first serve sites at Camp Four, Wawona and Hodgdon are also available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Delaware North Parks & Resorts at Yosemite, Inc., the park’s primary concessioner, is reopening facilities and will begin to welcome guests immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Ansel Adams Gallery, located in Yosemite Village, will also reopen.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So shutting down operations must be no small feat.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Amy Standen\u003c/strong>: Exactly. All of the federally funded research labs are running on whatever money is left over from the last fiscal year. But when your research involves nuclear weapons, which is the case at two of the labs here in the Bay Area, you have to be extra careful with that money because you have to maintain a pretty big security staff that's going to stick around as long as the government shutdown lasts. So at Livermore, for example, there are about 500 people who are going to keep showing up for work until this is all over to basically just keep the site secure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: What do we know about the kind of scientific work that's being shelved for the time being?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Standen\u003c/strong>: At a nuclear research lab it's always kin of hard to say because it is top secret. But certainly there is one project at Livermore that gets a lot of press, and that's the $4 billion \u003ca href=\"https://lasers.llnl.gov/\">National Ignition Facility\u003c/a>, which we like to call NIF. And NIF is using the world's most powerful lasers to try and create nuclear fusion, which is one of there holy grails of science. But the attempts to achieve this are, of course, on hold as a result of the shutdown. But elsewhere around the country we're hearing from all kinds of federally funded scientists who described the difficulties of shutting down this kind of work. That includes astronauts who are training for space walks, and down to really mundane challenges like, if you're running experiments on a bunch of lab mice, what happens to those mice while you're gone? Who's going to feed them, and likely, are you going to have to euthanize all of them and start the experiment all over again once people get back to work?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: Lawrence Livermore is one of four labs funded by the U.S. Department of Energy in the Bay Area. What are you hearing from folks at the three other labs?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Standen\u003c/strong>: The other nuclear research lab in the Bay Area - that's \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandia.gov/\">Sandia National Laboratories\u003c/a> in Livermore - is also furloughing its workers officially starting next week, but they're basically going home this week. The other two DOE-funded labs here in the Bay Area are the \u003ca href=\"http://www.slac.stanford.edu/\">SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory\u003c/a> in Menlo Park. They're facing furlough, too. They're not giving a specific date on when that will happen. And finally, there's \u003ca href=\"http://www.lbl.gov/\">Lawrence Berkeley National Lab\u003c/a>, and that's a place where scientists a working on climate change, on biofuels, alternative energy. I spoke to the lab director there yesterday, Paul Alivisatos, and he says that they too are looking at furloughs if the shutdown continues. I just wanted to add that what you hear from all of these labs and scientists in general is that it's a pain to stop doing all this work, but it's also incredibly expensive to take this kind of work, put it on hold and then restart it again later. Science happens on a time scale. You have to watch a scientific process unfold in order to study it, so basically you can't interrupt that without having to start from the very beginning with all the materials that entails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim\u003c/strong>: Many of the 13,000 or so Bay Area lab employees are government contractors, so they're not eligible for back pay. Some local lawmakers are trying to change that. Are they making any progress?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Standen\u003c/strong>: Well, yes. On Sunday Representative Eric Swalwell, a Democrat from Pleasanton, hosted a town hall meeting in Livermore to talk to people about the impending cuts, along with some concerns that are more specific to workers at a government lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Eric Swalwell\u003c/strong>: Some of them are locked into non-compete clauses, so some of them can't even go out into the private sector to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Standen\u003c/strong>: Last Friday, Senator Dianne Feinstein, along with Swalwell and a number of other local representatives, sent a letter to the Department of Energy, and what they're asking for is that once the government starts up again, these workers will be eligible for back pay the same way other government workers might be. But I spoke with Swalwell's office today, and there's been no reply yet from the DOE.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Don Clyde and and Chad McClymonds contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",
