A short-term spending measure in the House and a budget pact evolving in the Senate make it less likely the federal government will shut down Thursday night
For Republicans, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is the face of the government shutdown. For immigration advocates, he's become an unexpected champion.
As a veteran, I did not like the idea of the rally at the courthouse on Saturday (Oct. 12) turning into a Republican event that took every opportunity it could to bash the President of the United States. Some veterans believe they speak for all veterans when they speak out against the president, but some of us have our own ideas of where the blame lies.
