Quotes of the day

“It’s one-tenth of 1 percent of the federal budget. If we cannot do this together, what else can we not do in the future? This is not that big of a problem.” — House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy of California on the $5.7 billion Trump wants for the U.S.-Mexico border wall.

“I think it ends when the Senate Republicans say we’ve had enough. We’re not going to stand here and be blamed for this. We believe the government should be opened. There should be timely negotiations on border security after the government is open.” — Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill.

What’s next

Congress returns on Monday. Will the shutdown end this week?

Trump addresses the American Farm Bureau on Monday. Farmers have supported Trump through a trade war with China that cost them billions, but they are complaining about the loss of loans, payments and other agricultural services because of the shutdown.

Trump is expected to sign legislation this week authorizing back pay for some 800,000 federal workers who either have been idled or are working without pay for as long as the shutdown lasts.
