Newly empowered House Looking ahead to 2019 Democrats — and at least a few Republican senators — are stepping up pressure on Trump and GOP lawmakers to reopen the government. Trump said he would dis- cuss the “Humanitarian and National Security crisis on our Southern Border” at 9 p.m. EST. He maintains that more than $5 billion for a wall is necessary to secure the border. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted Monday that Trump will use the visit to “meet with those on the front lines of the national security and humanitarian crisis.” As the shutdown lurched into a third week, many Republicans watched ner- vously from the sidelines as hundreds of thousands of federal workers went without pay and government disrup- tions hit the lives of ordinary Americans. Trump has offered to build the barrier with steel rather than concrete, billing that as a concession to Democrats’ objections to a solid wall. They “don’t like concrete, so we’ll give them steel,” he has said.

IN BRIEF

UNION, S.C. Deputies kill 81-year-old man who they say fi red gun fi rst

Authorities say police offi- cers in South Carolina shot and killed an 81-year-old man who fired a gun at them as they tried to take him into custody for a mental evaluation. Union County Sheriff’s deputies said they were called Saturday night to a home near Union after a neighbor said Harold Thompson fired a gun in the air after his dog barked at him. Deputies say Thomp- son didn’t answer his door and, after several tries, they obtained a court order for a mental evaluation. A sheriff’s statement says when deputies entered the home to take Thompson into custody, he walked out of a room with a gun, didn’t drop the weapon when ordered and fired at officers.

hat’s he done for me?” That was one of the questions President “WDonald Trump posed publicly in response to questions about the resignation of Defense Secretary James Mattis. Well, let’s see: In leading the Pentagon since January 2017, Mattis — a well-read, no-nonsense Marine — put up with the president’s enormous ego, his lack of discipline, his simplistic approach to complicated matters and his failure to respect allies, including those who work for him. Mattis also gave Trump the opportunity to part ways with grace.

Feds are focused on ending Trump added, “What’s he done for me? How has he done in Afghanistan? Not too good. Not too good. I’m not happy with what he’s done in Afghanistan and I shouldn’t be modern-day slavery happy.” U.S. policy in Afghanistan has been fair game for criticism, uman trafficking in the violence.
