President Donald Trump is in Asia this week, while back in Washington the partial government shutdown shows no sign of ending.
The Senate this week is expected to take up three joint resolutions that would terminate emergency declarations by the president that have been used to impose tariffs. That’s in addition to judicial nominations and any more potential votes related to reopening the government. The House, once again, is not in session.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that he expects to run out of funds available to pay military servicemembers starting Nov. 15.
