1. Senate adjourns without deal to end government shutdown; vote postponed until noon Monday

BREAKING: The Senate has adjourned for the night without a deal to end the government shutdown, and a vote has been postponed until noon Monday. The government shutdown will continue into the workweek after frantic efforts by a bipartisan group of moderate senators Sunday failed to produce an agreement to reopen agencies Monday morning. “We have yet to reach an agreement on a path forward that is acceptable to both sides,” Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer said after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that he would be willing to start debating immigration legislation if an agreement was not otherwise reached by early February.

5. If they get a deal tomorrow, even if it is for a couple of weeks.

Perhaps there will a longer term deal after that. Trump can be excluded from the deal.
Who knows what will be necessary? Deals have been made before, and they will be made again. That is what they do.
